Sang Ye came in with Sang Yun, and they were the first two of the four to come. Sang Yun is in charge of Linlang's clothes, including Linlang's jewelry and the like, Sang Ye's hands are very skillful, she is responsible for combing Linlang's hair and makeup every day, and Sang Ye's appearance is also very delicate.

The bracelet and silver pair found in the mulberry leaf room this time not only surprised Yaru and the others, but also the other three girls who served Linlang with her. You must know that mulberry leaves have only been here for three months, and her monthly routine for a month is one tael of silver, which is considered high among the girls in the house, and three months is at most three taels of silver, even if you add the master's usual reward, it will not exceed five taels of silver. People can't help but put a question mark in their hearts, where did she get so much silver?

Yaru sat on the top, she looked at Mulberry Leaf, at this time Mulberry Leaf was kneeling underneath, her hair was a little messy, her face was a little pale, and her body kneeling on the ground was trembling slightly. Yaru shouted to her: "Mulberry leaves, where did your silver and bracelets come from, I hope you can tell you honestly." ”

Sang Ye first gritted his teeth and didn't admit it: "Concubine Shizi, this is really my thing, which I saved when I was a maid in the original family." ”

Yaru took a sip of tea from her teacup, and then her eyes looked at the stout woman standing next to her.

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly stood next to the beating orange and shouted: "The princess asked you, hurry up and tell the truth." Otherwise, you'll have to hit the board. ”

Mulberry Ye was frightened, she looked up at the long orange, then at the board in her mother-in-law's hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Those things are indeed my own." ”

Yaru sighed and said, "Mulberry leaves, human life is only once, you don't have to hide anything for others." If you have a small body of twenty boards, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. You are suffering here, your life is not guaranteed, but the person you want to protect is watching you like this, and cannot do anything for you, do you think you are worth it?"

Mulberry's tears fell, she bit her lower lip tightly, closed her eyes, and never said a word again.

Yaru winked at the mother-in-law, and the two stout mother-in-law put the mulberry leaves on the oranges, then gagged her, and started the board. When the ten boards were hit, Mulberry Leaf's pants were already red, and Mulberry Leaf fainted. Aru told her to stop, and then said to them, "Drag her to the firewood room in the back." The two mothers-in-law responded and dragged the mulberry leaf down.

Yaru asked people to call the three girls around Linlang to ask them separately. One of them, Sang Rui said: "Once it was very late, I saw Sang Ye talking to a man in the west corner, so far away, I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. Because they came together, I was afraid that she would be deceived by others, so I paid special attention to her the next day. As she spoke, she glanced at Aru.

Aru asked, "Is there anything unusual about her?"

Sang Rui thought about it for a while and said: "That day, she was a little restless, that is, when she combed her master's hair, she was a little distracted, and her master's scalp hurt. At that time, I remember that she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down for her master, who not only did not blame her, but smiled and persuaded her not to take it to heart. ”

"When did this happen?" asked Aru.

About half a month ago. Mulberry thought for a moment and said.

There are no other clues here. Mother Yang was arraigned by King Ling Jun and Ling Yuanhang, father and son, because she had been following the old lady, so for the sake of the old lady's face, the father and son did not punish her, but only asked.

Maybe it's something to rely on, Mother Yang repeatedly asked to see the old lady, saying that she would talk when she saw the old lady, of course it was impossible for the father and son to let her see the old lady, what role the old lady was here, they didn't know yet, how could they let her meet the old lady. The father and son also thought that the old Wu family would come and cry and beg them to let Yang Ma go, but to their surprise, the old lady not only didn't say anything, but also asked the little Wu family next to her to come over and say: "The old lady said that she has never rewarded Yang Ma with such a valuable thing, nor has she ever given her such a large amount of silver tickets." Her old man asked the county king to come out and tell her. She wanted to see who was so generous. ”

After Xiao Wu left, Ling Yuanhang said, "Father, is it true that grandmother doesn't know what Yang Ma did?

King Ling Jun pondered and said: "Yuanhang, everything is a mystery now, this Yang Ma has these things, and she doesn't necessarily participate in this matter, let's review it first." ”

Nothing was found on Yang Ma's body that day, and they locked Yang Ma in another room that had not been occupied for a long time, and put two guards outside to watch.

The next day, when the mothers-in-law brought food to the mulberry leaves, they found that she was dead.

Yaru and Ling Yuanhang rushed here, and what they saw was Mulberry Ye leaning against the wall, blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. Ling Yuanhang opened her mouth and found that she had committed suicide by biting her tongue. Then the two of them began to look for anything unusual here, and when Ling Yuanhang put her on the ground, Yaru exclaimed, "Husband, there are words on the wall." ”

Ling Yuanhang took a look, and it turned out that in the place where Mulberry Ye was leaning, there was a big Yang character written in blood. It seems that this is a clue left by Mulberry Leaf on purpose. Why did Sang Ye rather be tortured than recruit yesterday, but he chose to commit suicide in such a way at night, and he had to leave such a clue to the master's family when he was dying, did Sang Ye have a secret as a last resort?"

Yaru frowned and said, "She wrote this Yang character, but she still has to block it with her own body, could it be that she doesn't want others to see it, but just wants us to see it?"

Ling Yuanhang said: "She sits there, and when the gatekeeper sees that she is dead, they will go and call us, and they will not move her first. So people won't notice what she's written, and we'll definitely move her when we come so we can see it. This is her deliberate, what is hidden behind her? And this Yang character means that this matter is related to Yang's mother. ”

The two went to see King Ling Jun and told him about it, and King Ling Jun immediately decided: "Check the person surnamed Yang in the County King's Mansion to see who she has to do with." ”

There are a total of 26 people in the house with the surname Yang. After two days of investigation, they focused the results on Yang Dazhu, the nephew of Yang Ma, the housekeeper in charge of purchasing.

After secretly investigating, Yang Dazhu seems to have made a small fortune during this period of time, he often goes to the Qinglou at night, and when he comes back, there is a smell of fat powder on his body.

Sure enough, Ling Yi captured Yang Dazhu from the Qinglou. It turned out that Yang's mother was very proud of the old lady's place, so she put her nephew by her side, Yang Dazhu entered the house at the age of twelve, and later became a steward. Yang Dazhu has always felt that he is a very proud person, walking in the house, and his waist is very straight. But when he faced the might of King Ling Jun, looked at Ling Yuanhang with a cold face, and looked at the mighty and tall Ling Yi and the others next to him, his legs were weak, and he recruited.

It turned out that some time ago, Wu Furong's girl found him, gave her ten taels of silver, and asked her to quietly bring a letter to Yang's mother, and let Yang's mother go out of the house to Nan'an Temple. As for what it was, Yang Dazhu didn't know, but later, he became a messenger between Wu Furong and Yang's mother, Wu's mother told him not to tell others, and he knew that it would not be a good thing. But he doesn't care, as long as there is silver to earn, he is happy, and every time the girl next to Furong comes that day, he will give him a reward of silver. During this period of time, he didn't have any money left, and he contributed it to Qinglou.

This kid directly recruited his own aunt. But King Ling always felt that he still had something to say, or that he wouldn't be telling the truth.

Yaru next to her remembered what Sang Rui said, so she asked, "Half a month ago, did you go to look for mulberry leaves at night?"

Yang Dazhu's face first froze, then his eyes rolled and he denied: "No, I didn't go." ”

Ling Yuanhang saw his expression very clearly beside him, and when he saw that this person just didn't tell the truth, he said: "Mulberry Ye has already said everything, what else do you deny." "The news that Mulberry Leaf has died has not yet been spread out, and the two mothers-in-law have also been told not to spread it. So Yang Dazhu didn't know that Sang Ye was dead.

Yang Dazhu began to kowtow as soon as he heard this: "The king of the county spares his life, the prince spares his life, I will say it all." ”

It turned out that Sang Ye's father was an official of the imperial court, and his house was raided because of corruption, and his father and mother died in prison. She and her younger brother were also sold to the capital, and later her younger brother was bought by Wu Furong to be the son of the Wu family, and Mulberry Ye was also bought into the county king. Wu Furong knew from Sang Ye's younger brother that Sang Ye was by the princess's side, so she and Yang Ma used this relationship to let Yang Dazhu intimidate Sang Ye, if Sang Ye didn't do what they said, Sang Ye's younger brother would be in danger of his life.

Yaru couldn't help but feel sorry for that poor mulberry leaf, no wonder, her brother's life was in the hands of others, and Sang Ye had no choice. But she betrayed the main family for her brother and she felt sorry for the princess of the county, so she ended her life in that way, she probably thought that she could not only save her brother, but also compensate the princess of the county. This is also a poor woman, but she doesn't want to think about whether her poor little brother is still so young and falls into a family like Wu Furong, whether she can survive in the future.

Mother Yang finally lowered her head in front of all the facts, and even confessed what happened thirteen years ago.

Since the county lord of Changxing married into the county king's mansion, Wu Furong hated her, and later she wanted to seek the position of a flat wife, but the county king avoided her and went to the border, she hated Wu Furong even more, but at that time she just hated, and did not think of poisoning people, and then she had to marry someone else as a stepfamily, and her husband probably heard that she was going to marry the county king, and he did not respect her at all, and often went to sleep in the concubine's room. After a few years of nesting, Wu Furong slowly came into contact with the inner house, and she learned to harm people. In the two years she lived in the Junwang Mansion, she won the favor of the old lady and had a very good relationship with Yang's mother. In addition, Mama Yang herself is the son of the Yasukuni Mansion, so Mama Yang has a special affection for the young lady of the Yasukuni Mansion.

The relationship between the county lord of Changxing and the old lady has not been good since he married in, and he looks down on Yang Ma even more, and often loses Yang Ma's face, and Yang Ma also has resentment towards the Changxing county lord. So Yang Ma and Wu Furong happened to meet when they went to Nan'an Temple to incense together, and the two hit it off, and there was the poisoning of the Changxing group leader. The medicine was prepared by Wu Furong, and I don't know where she got it from. Of course, during this period, Yang Dazhu has always been the contact between them, because he himself is purchasing, and it is very convenient to get out and go in.

As for this medicine, it was put in the incense powder twice, so it had to be done by the girl next to her. At the beginning, after the death of the county lord of Changxing, a girl next to her also committed suicide. Now mulberry leaves also bite their tongues and commit suicide. So far, the truth of the poisoning case of the two princesses of the county, who have been separated by thirteen years, has been revealed, and the mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be Wu Furong, who had always wanted to marry the prince of the county but did not marry.
