"Xi'er has lived in your house for half a month?"

"Yes, my mother was also a maid, but unfortunately she passed away early, and after the young lady got married, she gave it to my father, and my father died when I was ten years old, and I was left alone in the family." Cui Tianming said.

"Then how did you end up as an apprentice at the Riverhouse Hall?" Meng Yan felt strange, how could a fatherless and motherless child have such ability, unless someone helped him, or Liao Junjie took a fancy to him.

"It was my mother's mother who helped her, she was the third lady of the Guo family of Wuding Hou, and she was good with my mother, she asked someone to introduce me to the Hejian Hall as an apprentice for the sake of my loneliness."

Wuding Hou Guo Xuan!

Meng Yan was shocked, this Cui Tianming actually had something to do with the Marquis of Wuding's mansion?

This Wudinghou is one of the few surviving bigwigs in the army, and now the Guo family is even more wealthy, most of the children are in the army, and they also hold important positions.

There is another person, that is Guo Deng, the future chief military officer of Datong, who is the grandson of the Marquis of Wuding.

Now this Guo Deng has just returned from Yunnan, and it is said that he has made great achievements in war, and the emperor appreciates it very much, and he is ready to reward him with a bigger official.

"Go on, listen." Meng Yan calmed down a little, this Cui Tianming was actually the queen of the Hou Mansion's house slave.

"Xi'er is very active, after living for half a month, she is going to go out for a walk, I said that you came back secretly, what if you are found by Jiao Erye and Shopkeeper He? She said that I was timid, Beijing is so big, how can it be so easy to touch, besides, if you see it, just avoid it from afar. Anyway, she also knew where these two people often went, just avoid those places, and the villain thought about it, it was not good to be bored at home, so she agreed, so she asked for leave and went out with her to relax, who knows, I really met Jiao Erye on the street. The two of us were so frightened that we hurriedly ran back. ”

"You've met. Or did you run away when you saw him, did Jiao Hong see you? Meng Yan asked.

"Naturally, I saw it, and after two days, Second Master Jiao found me. and gave me a hundred taels of silver. Let me help him solve Xi'er. When the deed is done, he will give another two hundred taels of silver. Cui Tianming said.

"You're intrigued?"

"Yes, the villain is indeed moved. Xi'er lives in my house, no matter how much I treat her, he just refuses to let me get close, after a long time, I can't help but feel resentful in my heart, seeing the white silver, my heart is horizontal, and I agreed! ”

"So, Jiao Hong bought you to kill someone?"

"Accept the silver, I'm scared, I've only killed chickens in my life, how have I ever killed someone, I took the silver home, I didn't dare to do it, I wanted to work hard again, if Xi'er is willing to live with me, I will return the silver to Jiao Erye when I turn around, if she still doesn't want to, then I can only blame her for her bad life!"

"Cui Tianming, don't you know that killing people is to pay for your life?"

"The villain knows, but Second Master Cui said that Xi'er is just a girl, Yahuan is cheap, and if she dies, she will die, and no one knows, for a woman whose heart is not in her, why bother?"

"Why doesn't Xi'er want to follow you, she's like this?"

"She just wants to climb the high branches, my lord, you don't know, the child in her belly is that Cao Qin Cao Qianhu, with this child, she can marry into Cao Mansion, even if she is a concubine, it is better than being a maid of others, if it is a boy, maybe the mother will be more expensive than the son, and the future glory of the ancestors may not be!" Cui Tianming explained resentfully.

"All this is what Xi'er told you?"

"Yes, these are all what Xi'er said to the villain herself, if the villain has half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" Cui Tianming cursed.

"It seems that Xi'er, this girl is quite snobbish."

"That day I was rejected by Xi'er again, I was not happy, I drank some wine, and when I returned home, I asked her, would you like to let me sleep, she scolded me, saying that I was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat, I was angry, I didn't know where the strength came from, pushed her to the bed, she struggled, I took a pillow to cover her mouth and nose, gradually, she didn't move, I was frightened, quickly brought a pillow, probed my nose, and breathed, but fainted, I must have felt the wine surging in my heart, and I didn't hold back ......"

"When I was almost done, I was about to wake her up, but I found that she was no longer breathing, I was frightened, I didn't know what to do, and suddenly thought of Jiao Erye, so I dressed Xi'er, loaded Xi'er's body into the carriage, and the next morning, I drove the carriage to Suxinzhai."

"You transported the body to Suxinzhai?"

"Yes, Second Master Jiao said that he was willing to pay only if he saw Xi'er's corpse, so I had to do this."

"Aren't you afraid, you pull on the corpse, and if someone finds you, you'll be finished?"

"My carriage is modified, the body is hidden in the compartment, the carriage is empty, it will not be found." Cui Tianming explained.

"Go on!"

"The villain saw Jiao Erye in Su Xinzhai, and then pulled the carriage in from the back door and took Xi'er's body out, he saw it, but he didn't give money, only said that you have killed the person, the one hundred taels is considered a reward, and you can also have the rest of the money if you want, and you have the ability to sue the official!"

"How did the villain know that he would be so dishonest, I want to sue the official, that person was killed by me, didn't he throw himself into the net, so the villain had no choice but to pull Xi'er's body and leave from Suxinzhai."

"What did you do with Xi'er's body?"

"The more the villain thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, if it weren't for this Jiao Er teasing me, how could the villain do such a thing, it was he who instigated me to kill, but in the end, all the sins may be borne by me alone, I was not convinced, so I thought of how to retaliate against him, so I thought of a way to retaliate against him!"

"What's the solution?"

"The villain wants to return Xi'er's body and put it in Su Xinzhai, and in the future, if someone finds out, Jiao Hong will definitely not be able to get out of it, and when the time comes, he may not be able to argue!" Cui Tianming said.

"He knows that you killed people, how can he be at a loss for words?"

"Although I killed the person, but he bought the murder, and the silver he bought for the murder is still in my hands, so he didn't dare to say it at all, saying it, it was a capital crime, even if he found Xi'er's body, he had to deal with it quietly."

"You're really letting the official look down on you." Meng Yan sighed.

"You put the body back, why did you put it in that grocery room?" Cai Jin asked.

"There are a lot of things in the utility room, and Su Xinzhai is sealed, except for the guards and Jiao Hong, basically no one will go, and the utility room is not ventilated, and the corpse is not easy to find if it stinks inside, even if it is found, I'm afraid it is almost rotten, and I can't make out the face, only Jiao Hong has seen the clothes that Xi'er wore when he died, if he found the body, he would definitely be able to recognize it, if it was someone else, it would be bound to investigate, and it was not difficult to find out Xi'er's identity, when the time came, Jiao Hong would definitely be suspected!"

"You just want to use this method to take revenge on Jiao Hong?"

"Yes, the villain thinks, even if Jiao Hong confessed that I killed him, he can't explain that the corpse is in Su Xinzhai, and Xi'er is also very Jiao Hong, Jiao Hong also has a motive for Xi'er to kill, otherwise he wouldn't let me kill Xi'er for him!"

"The corpse, the motive for the murder is there, Jiao Hong's crime of killing Xi'er is an iron case, and it can't be overturned, right?" Meng Yan was amazed that a little person like Cui Tianming had such a meticulous and meticulous mind, and it seemed that he really underestimated these villains in the market.

"Cui Tianming, although you are from a lowly family, you are not without a good future, but if you do this, your future and destiny will be ruined!" Cai Jin lamented while writing his confession.

"My lord, people are killed by villains, villains are willing to take one life for another, but adult, you must not let go of Second Master Jiao, if it weren't for him, even if I resent Xi'er, I wouldn't kill her." Cui Tianming said.

"Don't worry, Jiao Hong won't end well." Meng Yan said, "By the way, this official has one more thing to ask you." ”

"My lord, may I ask."

"How did you know that the child in Xi'er's belly was Cao Qin's, what she told you, or did you guess?"

"In the middle of August last year, Xi'er said that she was not feeling well, and asked me to accompany her to see the doctor, I accompanied her to Leshantang, and asked Dr. Le to diagnose her pulse, Dr. Le said that she was happy, she was stunned, and then told me that she had not come to that for two months, and sometimes she had acid regurgitation, vomiting, and wondered if she had it, so she came to see the doctor."

"Does she know who the father of the child is?"

"She said that the last time was with Cao Qin, so she felt that the child's father should be Cao Qin, and that time she was raped by Cao Qin and did not take measures."

"So it is very likely that Cao Qin is the father of the child in Xi'er's womb!" Meng Yan nodded.

"Cui Tianming, you are really ruthless, you know that Xi'er still has a little life in her belly, you can actually do it?" Lin Tianxing scolded indignantly.

"My lord, I didn't want to kill Xi'er, and I don't want to......" Cui Tianming cried, obviously he also had remorse for this matter.

"Then why do you still pass out in Xi'er and do something that is inferior to a beast?"

"I, I'm not human, I'm not human......" Cui Tianming slapped himself, and he was bleeding in an instant.

"Tianxing, take people down!" Meng Yanxin sighed and waved his hand to order.

"My lord, I didn't expect this case to end like this, it's really incredible!" Cai Jin closed the transcript and let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Cai, this is not bad, at least we have found the real culprit, you go to the Criminal Department to see how many of those years of murder cases have not been solved, and the souls of the deceased cannot rest in peace." Meng Yan Road.

"My lord, you have to be careful, such a bizarre case has been solved by you, will the emperor transfer you to the criminal department?" Cai Jin joked.

"I'm a military general, and the Criminal Department is the territory of civilian officials, if I go, won't I grab land with others, you say, can those scholars be willing?" Meng Yan laughed.

"Haha......" (To be continued......
