"Is Second Master Mei here?" The steward asked suddenly.

Mei Shan's face changed, he couldn't let the people of King Jing's Mansion know about Mei Kang, otherwise what should King Jing's Mansion think?

"He's on an errand, do you have something to do with him?" He replied.

The steward smiled and said: "It's a good thing, the old princess's maiden relatives have an errand with the palace Chinese affairs record, and they plan to retire in the coming year, so they want to introduce this errand to the second old man Mei, I don't know what Old Master Mei thinks?" ”

"Okay, okay, thank you for the old princess still remembering us." Meishan's excited old tears were rampant, and his baby son could also be an official.

"The old princess asked me to bring a word first, so that the second master Mei can prepare early, and he will enter Beijing in the coming year, and he may need to meet Shangfeng and pass an assessment. Not enough, the old princess also said that it won't be too difficult, and it depends on her face to go to the top. And the steward said.

"Okay, we'll be ready." Meishan was so happy that he wanted to tell Mei Kang the good news immediately, but when he thought that Mei Kang was still locked up, he became nervous again.

If the steward of the palace knew about Mei Kang's affairs in Lucun, would this errand be yellow?

Fortunately, the steward saluted him and said, "I have also brought that word, and the gift has also been delivered to your house, so I will go back to Beijing first to restore my life." ”

Meishan didn't dare to stay, and saluted to see the other party leave.

Not long after the carriage of "King Jingfu" left Lu Village, Li Xun entered Lu Village.

That's right, the steward just now was found by him after discussing with Mei Qingqian, but he didn't know that things had changed, and Jinhua was dead.

When he entered the village, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly stopped a village chief man and asked, only to know that Jin Hua was actually dead, and Mei Qingqian was also locked up in Jin's house.

Li Xun thanked the inquiring person and strode towards the Jin family.

Lu Guancha probably had a good impression of him, and directly let him in to see Mei Qingqian.

"Are you alright?" He asked as soon as he saw her.

Mei Qingqian smiled at him, "It's okay, and Jinhua was strangled to death." ”

"You think it's the crooked-nosed woman?" Li Xun asked in a low voice.

She didn't say anything, and Li Xun guessed her thoughts, when did they start to have such a tacit understanding.

She nodded, "She has strangulation marks on her hands, which are left by pulling cloth ropes, strips of cloth and the like. I haven't been able to perform an autopsy yet, but I just glanced at it from the side, and there are scratches on Jinhua's neck, which can only occur when she is strangled around her neck, and she was made to look like she was hanged after her death. ”

Li Xun stared at her, "How do you know this?" ”

Mei Qingqian was stunned, "I've read a story written in a miscellaneous book, and I wrote about a similar case, which is quite interesting." ”

"What miscellaneous book and who is the author?" Li Xun asked again.

"The author says pour, and I don't know who it is." She didn't fool him, Dump Ka was the pen name she used to write online novels in her previous life, and similar cases were indeed written in her novels.

Writing a novel has an advantage, it involves a lot of things, and the author needs to look up the information, so he understands more than the average person.

Li Xun didn't ask any more questions, but obviously didn't quite believe her words.

"It's the same woman, I'm afraid the crooked-nosed woman doesn't have so much strength to stop Jinhua from struggling, and she won't alarm anyone, right?" Li Xun found a suspicion, "Will she have an accomplice?" ”

Mei Qingqian nodded, "It's possible, but it's also possible that Jinhua's limbs are weak." ”

She laughed dryly, "Before, she asked her second sister-in-law to call me to speak, and then threatened me to spread rumors that she had an affair with her cousin, so I slapped her, hitting an acupuncture point in the heart vein, which can make her unable to move for a long time, and she is awake but weak." ”

"When I left, I said that she was crying, and it is likely that she has not recovered yet, or she has just been able to move, and she was strangled when she was weak, so she can't resist."

She didn't regret cleaning up Jinhua, but now she regretted it a little, because Jinhua's death ruined her overall plan.

Mei Qingqian glanced at her, she seemed to know something.

"It's not like the tone of the little sister here." Sister-in-law Jinhua pointed to a place in the suicide note, "I taught the words of the little sister, and my family is used to saying that carrying people on their backs is a person who carries them, and my little sister is taught by me, and it has always been this habit." ”

Jin Hua Niang calmed down, "Go find Jin Hua's practice book." ”

Sister-in-law Jinhua went to the back room and quickly took out a tattered papyrus paper. It is very rare for the Jin family to let their daughter learn to write, and they should want to hope that they can ask for more dowry.

So Jinhua's book is the cheapest straw paper, and when she opens it, she doesn't use ink, but finds colored plant juice to write.

Soon, Sister-in-law Jinhua turned out a piece of handwriting, which was purple sauce, and wrote: I turned my back on my father's practice of calligraphy, for fear that he would scold me, and I also hoped that the king himself would make faster progress.

Her handwriting is crooked, and she can't write the word "hope" for "hope", but uses the homonym "wang".

Obviously, she wrote "back to her father", not "back to her father".

Sister-in-law Jinhua flipped through it again and found a similar place again, and sure enough, as she said, Jinhua's tone would not write "carrying people".

That means that the letter was either imitated by someone else's handwriting, or she wrote it sentence by sentence at someone's request, so it was in the tone of someone else.

Jinhua Niang finally calmed down, pulled Jinhua's sister-in-law and asked, "Didn't your sister commit suicide?" She didn't commit suicide at all, did she? ”

Sister-in-law Jinhua nodded, "My little sister has always been very filial, how can she let you feel sorry for her?" ”

"Xu Yuniang has always said that Jin Hua saw me last, I want to know that I have been away from the Jin family for so long, she really hasn't seen anyone else?" Mei Qingqian looked at Sister-in-law Jinhua and asked.

"That's not it, I went to persuade her, and the second brother and sister also accompanied her for a while......

Without waiting for Sister-in-law Jinhua to finish speaking, Xu Yuniang shouted, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking nonsense?" Are you deliberately trying to make adults suspect me? We've been concubines for so many years, are you trying to harm me? ”

"I'm telling you the truth, how could it hurt you?" Sister-in-law Jinhua didn't dare to look at her, and directly avoided her edge.

At this time, there was a shout outside: "It's coming!" ”

It was followed by the sound of horses' hooves, as if they were coming on horseback.

The man was about forty years old, with a thin face, but his eyes were very bright, but his face was slightly long, expressionless, and he looked very indifferent.

"Zhao Yanzuo, thank you for your hard work." Lu Guancha stepped forward and saluted, with a very respectful attitude.

"Tell me about the situation." Zhao Yanzuo said as he took off the toolbox and walked towards Jinhua's corpse.

I didn't want Jin Hua's father to rush to the door of the house and stop him, and said loudly: "No one is allowed to touch my daughter, everyone is dead, and you are still endless?" ”

"Without an autopsy, how can you know the real cause of your daughter's death?" Zhao Yanzuo's face was still expressionless, and his voice was a little colder.

"I just want her to die innocently." Father Jinhua snorted, "Where are all the people dead, and you still haven't come to protect your sister's corpse?" ”
