In the Tang Dynasty, there were two kinds of subordinates, one was paid and hired, called servants; The other is bought by the master's family, which is considered the private property of the master's family, and the monthly money is less than half of the servant's, if it pleases the master's heart, or the master's family will make the decision to marry a good family, but if it does not get the master's favor, it is not impossible to be beaten to death.

Although Chen Fang already had a certain understanding of the ancient slavery system before coming to the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw a group of subordinates who didn't know how to resist like acting in a costume play, and stood aside with their heads bowed and allowed to be whipped by the master.

"Outside of Chen, stop." Chen Fang raised his voice and said that although he was also a decisive character, it would not work for him to do such a poisonous hand to a person who was not a threat, otherwise he would not have been exiled here for killing people in anger.

In the end, it was the master in the yamen, Chen just didn't look at the monk's face, but also had to look at the Buddha's face, so Chen Fang called out his voice, and it was not good not to give him face, so he only whipped the girl on the ground with hatred and two whips, and scolded and said: "I will give Master Chen face today, let me go." ”

With a sound, a few clever Yahuan hurriedly stepped forward to help the bruised Yahuan up, and walked out of the back flower courtyard with other subordinates.

Chen just handed the rattan whip in his hand to the butler behind him, walked in front of Chen Fang, arched his hand, and called out hello.

Chen Fang waved his hand in return: "What is Chen Yuanwai angry about?" Anger can hurt the liver, which is not good for the body. ”

"Alas, Master Chen, don't you know, these subordinates can make me angry, day by day they actually take advantage of my wife's childbirth and have no time to teach them, and actually make people have a big belly, it's unreasonable, if I don't punish them, I don't know how many people will be made belly big by outsiders." Chen just explained angrily, and Chen Fang rolled his eyes when he heard it.

This is not just showing off his wealth, he is completely treating these subordinates as playthings just for his own play.

However, no matter how disdainful he was in his heart, Chen Fang still maintained his due attitude, "Outside Chen Yuan, I heard that the drowned girl in the house is the second lady's personal emerald flower, but is it true?" ”

"It's her fault, why is she in league with the poisonous woman who killed my wife and child?" Chen just said suspiciously, Chen Fang shook his head and couldn't say clearly, but he was sighing in his heart about the coldness of the world.

This guy in front of him, when his wife and children were alive, he only cared about finding a second woman. As soon as something happened here, he immediately said that the woman who was afraid of flying in her hand yesterday and was afraid of melting in her mouth was a poisonous woman, which is really ridiculous.

"Chen Yuanwai, can I take a look at Cuihua's body?" Chen Fang said, Chen just glanced at him suspiciously, although he felt strange, but he didn't say anything, and raised his head at the housekeeper behind him: "Uncle Liu, you take Master Chen and them for a trip."

After that, he turned back to Chen Fang and said, "I'm sorry Master Chen, there have been accidents at home recently, and my head is a little uncomfortable, so let the housekeeper take you there, I will retire first." ”

Originally, there was nothing wrong with Chen Gang, so Chen Fang didn't mean to leave him, and said coldly: "It's okay, since Chen Yuanwai is uncomfortable, let's go and rest." ”

Chen just said thank you, rubbed his temples on both sides and left.

Steward Liu has been serving people all his life, and he doesn't need to be instructed by others to do things, after Chen just left, before Chen Fang said anything, he had already taken the initiative to walk to Chen Fang and the others, and made a gesture of please, "A few officials, please come with the old slave." ”

Cuihua is a subordinate in the end, and the treatment will naturally not be as good as that of the eldest lady, her body was temporarily placed in the miscellaneous room, and the thing covered on her body is also an old cloth, which seems to be a fabric that Chen just can't sell, and the waste is used on the body of Cuihua, a girl.

However, Chen Fang didn't mean to be upset for her, after entering the chores, Chen Fang did not hesitate, and suddenly lifted the old cloth covering the corpse, and took a general look, the crab foam-like foam on the mouth and nose, the corpse spots were light, the skin was goosebump-like, and the signs of drowning death were obvious. Other than that, Chen Fang did not see any obvious wounds on the corpse, as far as the appearance was concerned.

There is a great possibility that this Cuihua accidentally fell into the water and drowned, but the time was too coincidental, why did she die in an accident when she happened to find her here?

After thinking about it, Chen Fang decided to conduct an autopsy.

Although the old housekeeper Li was a little displeased, he thought that the eldest lady and the young master who died could not escape being disemboweled, and he was just a subordinate in front of him, so he agreed.

When the autopsy of a criminal case is performed, it is not allowed to be observed, of course, everyone has no intention of watching, Chen Fang just said that he wanted to be autopsied, and before he could catch up, everyone had already taken the initiative and quickly evacuated the miscellaneous room, which made him very unhappy that the words had already spit out to his mouth.

Dissection requires professional instruments in later generations, but now in ancient times, Chen Fang obviously would not have such good conditions, but since the last time he accidentally discovered that the dagger seized from Ye Qian'er through the dissection of the eldest lady's mother and son had the power of sharpening iron like clay, Chen Fang had already used this dagger as a dissecting knife.

After the autopsy, it was seen that the lungs were edema, the lungs were cut, and a large amount of light red foamy fluid flowed out, and there was refluxed drowning fluid in the digestive tract.

In addition, Chen Fang also found a small fetus in Cuihua's womb that had just taken shape.

In addition to the above two points, Chen Fang was not able to find any other wounds on Cuihua's body, which means that Cuihua was indeed drowned alive in the water and was not attacked before her death.

But if so, why didn't she call for help? There are dozens of people in the Chen Mansion, and people are shuttling back and forth, so it stands to reason that if she has a cry for help, she should be heard?

Chen Fang held his chin that had not been shaved for a few days, and walked out of the chores in thought, ignoring the urging eyes of the people around him. After a long time, when he came back to his senses, he asked Old Butler Liu: "Steward Liu, what were the others in the mansion doing during the time when Cuihua drowned?" ”

"Back to the master, the people are preparing for the funeral of the eldest lady and the younger master." Master Liu replied with a bow.

"So, none of you noticed when and why she fell into the water?"

"I don't know."

"What about the child's father? The fetus in Cuihua's womb shouldn't be your master's, right? ”

Old housekeeper Liu smiled bitterly: "Master Mingcha, the wild seed that this girl is pregnant with is indeed not our master's, but who is this adulterer...... I don't know. As he spoke, Old Butler Liu shook his head helplessly.

"Could it be that this Cuihua doesn't have a close relationship with the other men in the Chen Mansion?" Chen Fang was puzzled, it stands to reason that a little girl, her range of communication should not be very wide, living under the same roof of Cuihua, her private life should be discovered by everyone.

Could it be that the child's father is still an outsider?
