213. It's time to close the net
As he spoke, he heard Xu Xian knock on the door twice under the corridor, and said loudly: "Miss, a female corpse was found in the dry well in the North Garden of the house, and I asked the eldest lady to move over and take a look." ”
Speaking of which, Su Luan didn't care about these idle things. But now that Jiang Hongxuan is grounded in the Tourmaline Pavilion, the two fathers and sons of the Su family are both the masters of the dragon and the tail, so the power of this matter naturally falls on her. Although there is a housekeeper in the house to take care of it, when it comes to such a life-threatening matter, it is naturally up to her to make the decision.
Su Luan responded: "Got it, Escort Xu, let's go first, I'll be there later." ”
"Yes."
Seeing that the people under the corridor were walking away, Su Zhen opened his mouth and asked, "How can there be a female corpse in the house?" ”
"Big brother asks, that's a long story."
Su Zhen glanced at her and said, "You just make a long story short." ”
Su Luan pursed her lips and said unhurriedly: "Does the eldest brother know that Jiang Hongxuan brought a few maids with him when he entered the mansion?" ”
Su Zhen pondered for a long time and narrowed his eyes: "Four." ”
Su Luan nodded, and then asked, "What about the rest now?" ”
"Three. The first-class maidservant who served her at the beginning left the house and got married. "These Su Zhen have all investigated, and they are naturally clear.
"A first-class maidservant, a slave and maid who serves Jiang Hongxuan closely, and a person who knows everything about her, Jiang Hongxuan will really be kind enough to let her marry?" Su Luan asked him meaningfully.
Su Zhen's eyes moved slightly, and she naturally knew the meaning of her words. He didn't suspect it, he sent someone to find the maid's father, and her father and mother said that she had a hard life, and that she died in childbirth in the first year of marriage, and he personally took someone to see the place where the man was buried.
It seems that he was careless and let Jiang Hongxuan be so confused.
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, and said a little puzzled: "How did you guess that her body would be in the dry well?" ”
"Maybe I was lucky?!" Su Luan laughed dryly twice and said casually.
Speaking of which, she should really be grateful for the bloody palace fighting drama she watched in her previous life, which made her think of the perfect place to hide corpses in the dry well for the first time.
She didn't actually guess that there would be corpses in the mansion at first, thanks to the two broken-mouthed mothers-in-law. The words of the two of them that day made the family who sprinkled the sweep listen to it, and they went directly to her. Those words just pointed her the way......
Now that the bait is fragrant enough, it's time to close the net.
There was a group of people standing in the black in the North Garden, the door was guarded by Xu Xian with the guards in the house, and the housekeeper stood aside, holding the roster in his hand to count the number of people.
Su Luan put on a cloak of Hunan concubines, stepped into the courtyard unhurriedly, looked at the people who were talking in front of him, and coughed lightly.
Hearing the movement, the housekeeper hurriedly turned around and greeted him: "The old slave has seen the eldest lady." ”
Su Luan helped him for a moment, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" ”
"Miss Hui, the old slave is counting the roster to see which one is missing." The butler replied respectfully. Guangxi
Su Luan listened, chuckled, took the thick stack of booklets in his hand, and quickly skimmed the pages: "There are so many people, is the housekeeper right?!" When Miss Ben was in the countryside, she coincidentally cooperated with the staff in the yamen to conduct an autopsy. Why don't you let me take a look first, maybe I can give you some clues. ”
When the housekeeper heard this, he nodded his head and stepped aside.
Su Luan put the gloves he had prepared early in the morning on his hands and walked towards the side of the well. In the open space by the platform lay a whole set of human bones, as well as a few pieces of clothing and jewelry that had long since rotted.
She pretended to look through it, and finally, picked up the golden hairpin. She took a closer look and found an inconspicuous Jiangzi emblem under the hairpin.
She stood up, pointed to the emblem and said to the housekeeper on the side: "Butler, look, this thing doesn't want to belong to my Su Mansion!" ”
The housekeeper took the golden hairpin with both hands, took a closer look, and glared: "This ...... This is the Jiang family's ......"
This golden hairpin belongs to the Jiang family, so is naturally this white bone. There are only four people from the Jiang family, and now the other three are alive and well, and it is naturally self-evident whose white bones belong to.
When the people gathered in the courtyard heard this, they all looked at each other and were shocked for a while.
And here, the most shocking thing is Qinxiang. Since she learned that a corpse had been found in Beiyuan, she had been uneasy, and her whole person seemed to be immersed in an ice pool, and the chill pierced her bones and blood.
Bell stood aside, and her sharp eyes noticed that something was wrong with her, so she said with concern: "Sister Qinxiang, your face is so ugly, but you are not feeling well?" Her voice was crisp and crisp, with the uprightness of a little girl.
Qin Xiang was stunned when she heard this, waved her hand hurriedly, and said dryly: "No, it's probably a cold......
Bell nodded, and said openly: "In this way, I thought my sister was weak-hearted!" This winter's sweat can even break out in the head. ”
Qin Xiang's body stiffened, and she hurriedly raised her hand and dipped her forehead with her cuffs to cover up the cold sweat.
She didn't know if the bell was deliberately tentative or unintentional when she said this, and her afterglow was a little fluctuating, always hovering over her and Su Luan.
However, what relieved her was that Su Luan did not plant the seeds of suspicion under her feet, but asked the housekeeper to dismiss everyone, go to Dali Temple to report the case, and completely hand it over to the government. She had a feeling that she had escaped, but there was a faint sense of unease.
And that very night, that unease became a reality.
She, hell!
When the bell invited Su Luan, Qin Xiang was shrunk in the corner, trembling like a sieve, her face was as pale as rice paper, she hugged her knees, her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were red, and her mouth kept muttering: "It's not me, it's me!" Wishful! I didn't hurt you, I really didn't hurt you! It's the second miss, it's the second miss, she said you know too much, that's why you ...... ......"
"I didn't want to push you! You fell into it yourself! Right! You fell into it yourself! She said in a rambling voice, her eyes were hollow, as if she had been drained.
Su Luan looked at her for a while, and then whispered to the bell behind him, "Crazy?" ”
The bell scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "I seem to be scared yesterday......"
Su Luan was a little helpless and shook his head, isn't it embarrassing for her, what a madman said, he can't give evidence in court!
She frowned and approached her step by step.
Qinxiang seemed to hear her footsteps, raised her eyes to look at her, then screamed, fell to her knees, and kept kowtowing to her: "Big ...... Miss! Miss spare her life! Don't do slave or maid things! That poisonous ...... That poison was fed to you as you wish! Not a slave...... Not a slave ......."
