The longevity lock was made by her silversmith, and it was specially engraved with a hundred years old on one side and an engrave on the other, and even the red rope was rubbed by her own person, and she also wore it on her little grandson's neck.

Mother Li, like the crumbling yellow leaves on a dead tree in late autumn, was passed by the north wind, and finally couldn't hold on to the last bit of the branch, and fell into the dark and sticky land, trampled by people who came and went.

There was no light in her eyes, like a soulless walking corpse, decadent and sluggish, "I did it alone, no one instructed me." ”

Jiao Niang had a mouthful of blood in her throat, and said anxiously: "You are talking nonsense, if no one buys you, then let me ask you, where did you get the money for the house and shop you bought for your youngest son when he married his daughter-in-law? Don't tell me, you can save so much of the family business with a few taels of silver a month." ”

Li's mother was speechless for a while, unable to speak.

Hua Jintang leaned forward and looked at Mother Li, "Let me ask you, since you said that no one instructed you, then why did you kill the third aunt?"

Mother Li pondered for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said: "It's because of money that my second son got married, and my daughter-in-law's family asked for many things, and she said that she wouldn't agree to this marriage if she didn't buy it." I urgently need a lot of money, so I thought about following the third aunt for so many years, borrowing some from her, and first handling the marriage of their young couple, but the third aunt is like an iron rooster, and she doesn't borrow a copper plate. ”

"You killed because of money?"

"On weekdays, the third aunt's mother's brother comes to fight the autumn breeze every three or five days, the third aunt is not ambiguous at any time, and she will shoot a thousand or a hundred taels casually, I have served her for many years, and there is no credit and hard work, but she is so unkind to borrow some money from her. She was unkind, I was unjust, and I took advantage of her illness, so I secretly drugged her every day, and when she died, I took her money back to buy a marriage. ”

Ji Shi was pretending to be sad there, "Hey, the third sister is really pitiful, she lost her life for a few hundred taels of silver." You slave, you are really ruthless, killing people and stealing money, and doing all the bad things. ”

Mother Li didn't raise her head, "The slave can't stand the third aunt, she just wants to die quickly." ”

Ji Shi looked at Hua Jintang and said, "Master, since she has already admitted it, then quickly correct her Fa, so as to comfort the third sister's spirit in the sky." ”

"No!" Jiao Niang didn't understand why things had suddenly changed, it was clear that Mother Li was about to tell what was behind the scenes, she was unwilling, "There are still a lot of things I don't understand about this matter, Mother Li is just a slave who doesn't know a few big words, how can she know that there is realgar on the prescription, and how can she know that increasing the amount of realgar can make people die." ”

"I know, I know. I have read the prescription of the third aunt, I know the word realgar, and I also know that eating too much realgar can poison people. Li's mother confessed to this and took all the blame for the crime.

"You're lying!" said Jiao Niang, angry and anxious.

Ji's delicately painted Yuanshan eyebrows were stretched, his eyes were fixed on Hua Jintang, and he left a side face for Jiao Niang, "How can the fifth girl admit death, do you have to give up if Mother Li confesses herself?"

Jiao Niang also turned her eyes to Hua Jintang, he was the last flame in her heart, as long as he could track it down, he would definitely be able to force out from Mother Li's mouth that it was the Ji family's mastermind.

Everyone just waited for him to speak, Hua Jintang pondered for a long time, looked at Ji's family, and then at Jiao Niang, he stared at Jiao Niang's eyes with a trace of pain and apology, waiting as if he had experienced a spring and autumn, Fang opened his mouth, "Since she has already admitted it herself-"

Jiao Niang's heart hurt, suppressed tears in her eyes, and suddenly said to Mother Li: "Mother Li, you personally testified yesterday that it was the Ji family who instructed you to poison my aunt, why did you change your words today, did someone threaten you not to let you tell the truth?"

"Jiao Niang, you are too presumptuous!" Hua Junyi stood behind Ji, like her pillar.

With his son as a support, Ji's waist board was even harder, and he flew diagonally towards Jiao Niang, "Jiao Niang, you are coming at me, do you want to say that I instructed Mother Li to poison your aunt and her?"

"I listened to Li's mother's words and wanted to make this matter clear and clear. ”

Wan Niang is another pillar of the Ji family, "She admitted it herself, isn't it clear that she understands? Jiao Niang, you don't play here on the topic, I think you just want to buckle the basin on my mother! This morning, I see you jumping up and down here, are you still finished?"

The second aunt sat at the bottom of the Ji family, she stood up, walked to Jiao Niang's side, and patted her on the back, "Fifth girl, her mother-in-law just said a few crazy words last night, why did you hear it in your heart? What kind of person is the eldest lady, who in the mansion doesn't know, that is a bodhisattva-hearted person, how can it harm your aunt." ”

Wan Niang snorted coldly, her nose is not a nose, her face is not a face, "Listening to the wind is the rain, I even believe crazy words, I think you are also crazy." You don't sit there honestly, a concubine, so many people are here, it's your turn to speak!"

Jiao Niang's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "Why can't it be my turn? What about the concubine, she killed my aunt, and I have the right to ask!"

The old lady said in a deep voice: "Okay, five girls, don't make trouble." ”

Hua Junyi pointed at Jiao Niang, "She is becoming more and more unruly now, she should really be disciplined well, and the family is here to watch her make trouble alone." ”

Su Qingyin pondered for a long time, and her voice was soft, "I don't blame the fifth sister, this matter is indeed suspicious-"

"What do you know!" Hua Junyi tilted her head sideways at her, "Don't interject." ”

Jiao Niang's tears were like rain, the tears condensed into a layer of gas, blurring everyone's appearance, her eyes slowly swept everyone one by one, and suddenly felt that she was the last piece of snow in the spring, and she would be diluted by the sun at any time.

In the end, she stared at Hua Jintang's face, "Father, do you want to conclude your aunt's death like this?"

Ji Shi took the case, "Then what do you want!"

Even if she is fighting alone, Jiao Niang has to fight with reason, "I want to find out who is the real murderer who killed my aunt!"

"She's all admitted, I don't know what else you're trying to find out! Your aunt is dead, do you still want to pull her out of the coffin and ask her if she borrowed money?"

"My aunt is dead, and there is no proof of her death, but you can check the source of Li's mother's money to see if she really took her aunt's money. And that pack of realgar, you can also check if it was bought by Li's mother, and-"

Ji interrupted sharply, "What else, enough, what else she admitted in person, what else is there to investigate?"

Jiao Niang was solemn and powerful, and her voice became torn by excitement, "Can she completely believe what she says, or is the eldest lady afraid that she will find out something if she investigates further?"
