On that occasion, what else can a man do but drink for fun?

Qiao Linzi continued: "It's just that during the third watch, Rui Cheng left. ”

"Left on your own?"

Qiao Linzi looked strange, "According to the people who saw him, they all said that he left on his own. ”

"But where did anyone see him, and who was there?" Old Madam Qiao asked in detail, after all, it was about her daughter.

Qiao Linzi shook her head, "There are no new discoveries yet, according to the person who reported to the official, because he has always suspected that his wife has someone outside, so he has been letting people monitor his wife's whereabouts." Last night it was his turn to be on duty, but as soon as he walked on the front foot, his wife left the house on the back foot, and when he got the news, he immediately greeted his brother...... Catch the adulterer," Qiao Linzi hesitated a little when he said these two words, "It was his neighbor who gave him the news, and the two grew up together since childhood, and their relationship was very iron, so when he was away, his brother helped him watch." When they arrived at the yard, they saw ......"

The fear in Qiao Linzi's eyes was real, but Old Madam Qiao didn't give her a chance to breathe, "Say, what did you see?" ”

He saw the man's wife lying on the bed with her head in a different place, and Rui Cheng was standing in the middle of the room, covered in blood. They immediately reported to the official, and when the official arrived, he found an axe in the corner of the house, with blood stains on it, and a palm print. ”

"Uncle's?"

Qiao Linzi shook her head, "The official didn't say it, Rui Cheng saw that it was not good, so he used the silver and let people notify me." ”

"Where's Old Madam Li?"

"As soon as my mother-in-law heard that Rui Cheng was arrested by the government, it was still a life lawsuit, and she had heart palpitations, and she went to the government doctor to see it, and she is still in bed. The daughter is also out of line, so I want to discuss with a few brothers. As she spoke, Qiao Linzi cried again.

But Old Madam Qiao was unusually calm.

The whole thing was natural, and there was no mistake, but she always felt that something was wrong.

She is naturally clear about men's entertainment, but it is just a scene, and she, like Qiao Linzi, doesn't pay attention to it.

To say that Li Ruicheng has a woman outside......

Mrs. Li had reservations.

If it's just a plaything, just put it into the room, and my uncle won't do anything foolish.

Outer room or something?

Li Ruicheng is not enough.

The merchant, who doesn't care so much about face, is just a woman, put it in the yard, remembers, and plays in bed.

Qiao Linzi has taken care of the backyard all these years, and she is also tolerant of those women, even Mrs. Li is satisfied, and Li Ruicheng will not do anything to slap her daughter in the face.

Especially now, the Qiao family has a friendship with the nobles, and Li Ruicheng will not even have this vision.

What's more, listening to my daughter, the other party is still a married woman?

Heh, this fairy jump is too clumsy.

But the woman is indeed dead, what is going on?

Old Madam Qiao was silent, and Qiao Linzi was also worried in her heart.

The atmosphere in the room was a little somber.

"I'll discuss this with your brother."

What Mrs. Qiao said was naturally Qiao Linzi's brother, Fourth Master Qiao.

The government's actions are very fast, and the murder case is a major event at any time, not only related to its own performance, but also related to the well-being of the people.

Therefore, when Qiao Lixi got the news from the government for the first time, she was a little surprised, much faster than she thought.

Putting the letter paper in her hand on the stone table, Qiao Yixi took the cherry handed by Mama Shen.

"This is the cherry tree in the yard, and I picked a basket this morning and sent a plate to the middle yard."

Qiao Yixi smiled and nodded.

She was already very unhappy to send one to the middle courtyard, and the other rooms were not considered.

"Little Miss, what are we going to do next?" Mama Shen asked tentatively.

Qiao Yixi shook her head, "We don't do anything." ”

"But ......"

"Isn't there still an old witch?" Qiao Lixi winked at Mama Shen shyly, "She feels so sorry for her daughter, she will definitely find out the truth faster than the government." I just don't know if she will regret it when she knows the truth. ”

Mama Shen also sneered, "Li Ruicheng was imprisoned for three days, and Mrs. Li gave a lot of money to save him from the pain of flesh and skin." Jincheng has been peaceful for so many years, and it seems that he can go back to the capital to be a Beijing official, but there is a life lawsuit at this juncture, and the official is very big, and he has intensified his efforts to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

Qiao Yixi stretched indecently, "This is called the right time, place and people." ”

Sensing a disapproving gaze, she stuck out her tongue at Mama Feng in the distance, and sat up busily, trying to play the appearance of everyone's ladies.

"The certified physical evidence is there, and Li Ruicheng's capital crime cannot be escaped. The house where he and the deceased were found was rented by the deceased, and the charter wife had identified the deceased as having paid half a year's rent in one go. But the deceased was just a woman who ran at home, occasionally doing a few embroidery jobs to earn a little money, and the deceased's husband was to show people the treasury, a few hundred copper plates a month, how could there be silver to rent the house? ”

"So the deceased has a concubine outside." Qiao Yixi said quickly.

Mama Shen gloated and smiled: "Let's not say whether that person is Li Ruicheng, when he was in the Hualou that day, in full view of everyone, he did enter the room with the flower girl, and when he left, someone saw him in front of the Hualou, but he didn't get into the Li family's carriage, but called another carriage." The rented house, there is a mother-in-law who is responsible for cleaning, the government has asked her, she was invited by the deceased to clean the house, and the rest doesn't care, I haven't seen Li Ruicheng, but every time Li Ruicheng stays overnight, she will go to clean up the room and the house the next day. ”

Yo ho!

Qiao Lixi raised her eyebrows with interest.

Mama Shen scratched her nose before continuing: "On the night of the incident, someone testified that they heard the sound of quarrels and scolding, because they were not familiar with the people in the house, and there were three watches in the middle of the night, so no one asked, and then the voice disappeared by itself, and everyone only quarreled as two people, and after the quarrel, they went to sleep." ”

"Two? Shenlong saw the two people who didn't see the tail. Qiao Yixi smiled.

"It can't be said that adultery, husbands, adulterants, and women quarrel, right?" Mama Shen's exaggerated statement caused Qiao Yixi to laugh.

The lines on the day of the incident are all up now.

"How is Qiao Laosi's investigation?"

This is what Qiao Yixi cares about, so Mama Shen's expression is also a little solemn, "The ones that Qiao Laosi found are similar to those found by the government, we ......"

Qiao Yixi nodded sheepishly, "Let some holes go out." ”

"Yes, young lady."

What to do next depends entirely on the IQ of Fourth Master Qiao.

After the nap, the little maid came to say that Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai were here.

This made Qiao Lixi a little surprised.

At this time, shouldn't the people of the Qiao family run for Qiao Linzi and Li Ruicheng's affairs?

"Jojo." Qiao Jinwen affectionately called her, and Qiao Lixi shuddered.

I always thought that the ancients were reserved, especially Qiao Jinwen, a boudoir lady who is committed to marrying into a wealthy family, pride is a must.

Because of pride, it cares about face.

Now that you've torn your face, is it really good to greet you like this?

Or is it because they turn a blind eye to their repeated designs, so they brazenly think that her "don't care" is tolerance, don't care, and don't care, so they can continue to play the role of a bosom sister and ponder the design of the next show?

Qiao Yixi sneered.

The two identical poems at the poetry meeting, she remembered it very clearly, she didn't say it, it wasn't that she didn't care, and it wasn't that she didn't dare.

How confident are these people?

"Something?" With a dry sentence, Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai were slightly stunned.

"Qiaoqiao is angry with the third sister?" Qiao Jinwen asked tentatively, tilting her head to check Qiao Lixi's face.

Qiao Yixi smiled sweetly, "How dare I be angry, I'm afraid, the third sister and the fifth sister have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what they want when they come to the East Courtyard this time?" ”

"Qiao Qiao......" Qiao Jinwen's eyes were misty, her fingers twisted her handkerchief, and she stood in place awkwardly, wanting to explain, but she was afraid that she couldn't say it clearly.

"Qiaoqiao, you misunderstood," cannon fodder Qiao Ningdai gave full play to her role at this time, and said in the round, "Those two poems were indeed bought by us from the master, but for some reason, the master gave us the poems sold to Wang Min and Sun Xian." We also wonder that we went to the Master afterwards, and the Master said that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, you are smart, those two poems came from Young Master Zhong and Young Master Jin, otherwise ......"

"How else?" Qiao Lixi laughed angrily.

Qiao Ningdai explained with a smile, "Wang Min and Sun Xian have always been at odds with you, if those two poems were made by you, then the two of them are estimated to have a fight." ”

"Then should I be grateful for giving those two poems to my third and fifth sisters? After all, it solved my urgent need. ”

"Qiao Qiao......" Qiao Jinwen made a lot of determination, took two steps forward, and grabbed Qiao Yixi's hand, "The third sister knows, no matter what the third sister says now, you will assume that the third sister did it, and the third sister will not make meaningless explanations." Over the years, what the third sister has done to you, you know in your heart, what about other people's brothers and sisters, the third sister doesn't know, but the third sister has always known that the sisters of our Qiao family are the most united, and our rooms are also the most united. ”

Words of righteousness and solemnity!

Qiao Lixi couldn't help but want to applaud Qiao Jinwen.

The atmosphere was not very good, and the astragalus was busy with tea.

It wasn't until the three of them sat under the plane tree that Qiao Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief and finally coaxed Qiao Yixi back.

"Jojo's rubella is gone, right?"

Seeing Qiao Yixi nodded, Qiao Ningdai said with reassurance: "Originally, your third sister and I wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but my grandmother said that you couldn't see the wind, and I was afraid that we would disturb your rest, so it has been delayed until now. ”

Qiao Lixi said exaggeratedly: "Thank you for your concern. ”

Without a hint of sincerity, she said it with peace of mind, and the two of them didn't feel embarrassed to listen to it.
