Chapter 19: A day in a hurry
"How many days this table has been in your room, why don't you remember?" Gangneung asked from the top of the road.
"I sent the table to the paint room that day and went back to the countryside, and I only rushed back today."
"That's true." Gu Nanling confirmed Xiao Fuzi's statement.
"Then how did this table get into your room for no reason?" Song Zirui asked.
"I ...... I do not know. ”
Su Mu snorted coldly and said to Gu Nanling: "Please Miss Gu, all the servants are found." ”
After many days, it is too difficult to obtain evidence. Clues that are not easy to find must not be broken like this.
Seeing such a big battle, the old lady was afraid that there would be any more unfavorable evidence pointing to his grandson, so he moved a chair to guard the scene.
"Everyone is here, just ask what you want to ask." Zhu Xian Ling snorted and returned to the old lady's side.
Su Mu and Song Zirui glanced at each other and asked, "Who brought Xiao Fuzi's table back from the lacquer room?" ”
"Lord Hui is me and Fu Xiu." A thin-faced man took over.
Then Fu Xiu also walked out of the crowd, "It's the money manager,"
"Nonsense, when did I let you carry Xiaofuzi's table?"
A thin-faced, thirty-year-old man in the crowd jumped to his feet.
Su Mu saw that his expression was wrong, and immediately Jiang's eyes locked on him: "You are the money manager?" ”
"Exactly."
"How can you conclude that this table belongs to Xiaofuzi?" Song Zirui asked.
Steward Qian looked left and right, "As the steward of the house, don't I even know this?" ”
"Okay, then ask the money manager to take a look at this?" Song Zirui continued.
Steward Qian looked at the table lifted out of the young lady's room and panicked, and flatly denied it, "I don't recognize it!" ”
"Don't recognize?" Su Mu sneered, "Fang Cai also said that he was very clear about the affairs of the house, and he didn't recognize it this time." ”
Jiang Ling also stepped forward and added: "Isn't it that the money steward has a bad record, right?" The one you just saw is not from the young lady's room. ”
In the face of everyone's doubts, the money manager had no way to deal with it for a while.
"Oh~ I see." Mu Yun let out an "oh" for a long time, and finally had some clue after listening to it for so long, "There is only one truth, and that is that you are lying!" ”
"I didn't!" Steward Qian looked at the old lady in horror, and then pleaded, "Old lady, don't listen to their nonsense. ”
The old lady glanced at him, and looked to the side unwillingly.
Gu Nanling slowly walked up to him, "I remember that Steward Qian and his younger siblings are fellow villagers, and this errand of yours was also asked for by him for you, right?" ”
"That's right, but the eldest lady doesn't mean anything!"
Jiangling smiled with a "hehe" in his hand, and picked up Song Zirui, "Let me go, it's time for me to play." ”
"Uncle Zhang is the old man in the house, this thing with the wrong paint will never happen to him, by the way, plus this one in the young lady's room, there is also an extra painted table."
"As far as I know, jasmine oil is added to the vermilion lacquer used in Shangshufu, and this jasmine oil has a pleasant fragrance and long-lasting taste, and anyone who has been contaminated will leave its fragrance on their hands."
Song Zirui sniffed the lacquered hand curiously, and then looked at the gushing Jiangling.
"I can't solve the case in Gangneung, but I have a smart nose! You might as well stretch out your hand and let me smell it, and the one who is clear will clear himself, right? ”
Everyone hesitantly stretched out their hands, for fear that they would accidentally catch the smell.
When it was Qian Zhi's turn, he seemed submissive and unwilling to stretch out his hands.
"What are you, why should I smell it with my hand?"
Gangneung rushed the money steward: "Hey! "My father is the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, and I am the deputy envoy of the Jinyi Guard, what do you say I am?" ”
Seeing that the money steward was intimidating, Jiang Ling just grabbed his hand, and his eyes turned to the maid's side.
"The adults spare their lives, the old lady spares their lives, I did everything!" A woman "pounced" and knelt on the ground.
Gu Nanling looked at the woman and shouted in shock: "Xiaoyu? ”
"Miss, it's all done by me, it's not about money!" Xiaoyu knelt on the ground and cried.
Steward Qian took the opportunity to shake off Jiang Ling's hand, and the villain puffed up his chest proudly under his clothes.
For this little jade Su Mu is from the impression, the first time I came to the house, I saw it, and I asked at that time.
"Send her to the county government first." In order not to startle the snake, Su Mu decided to interrogate Xiaoyu in another place.
Xiao Yu trembled in fright, her face was frightened, and she glanced at the money manager before leaving, and didn't say a word.
The county government is not a good place to go, and almost all prisoners who enter the county government will be punished.
If this case was an ordinary case, the people of the county government might have arrested a suspect at random a long time ago and turned it into a trick.
But after eating, I saw Xiaoyu again, she had been tortured into an inhuman form, and she was curled up in a cell in horror.
Mu Yun was shocked: "How did this happen?" ”
Song Zirui whispered: "This group of people can't get any good errands on weekdays, and they don't have much money, so they are resentful. ”
"Your Excellency, please!" When the servant opened the cell, Xiaoyu's body trembled.
Su Mu looked at her who was covered in bruises, and said coldly: "Tell me why you killed the young lady." ”
Xiao Yu forced her composure: "Heh, shouldn't she die if she is unfaithful to the young master?" ”
"Then how did you kill her?"
"After Caidie left that day, she asked me to make an abortion pill for her, but I didn't want to, so I had an argument."
Xiao Yu wiped the sweat and blood from her face and continued: "I accidentally pushed her, and her head just hit the corner of the table. Afraid of being discovered, I carried her out of the city and dumped her body. ”
Xiao Yu's answer seemed to be clear and unhurried, which was very different from the evidence held by Su Mu and others.
"Why don't you let me try." Mu Yun volunteered to walk in front of Xiao Yu and squatted in front of her in order to let him relax.
"Xiaoyu, do you like your son-in-law?"
"Childe, how can Xiaoyu climb high."
"Then you like money management?"
"Nope."
"Hey......" Mu Yun sighed, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with liking someone, what is wrong is liking a wrong person." ”
"I don't understand what you're saying?"
"You know, you know better than I do, otherwise you wouldn't have shielded that murderer like this."
Seeing that Xiaoyu didn't speak, Mu Yun asked directly, "Is the child in the young lady's arms in charge of money?" ”
"No, it's not." Xiao Yu immediately looked extremely flustered.
"Even if you take all the guilt, Lord Shangshu will find out whose child is in the young lady's womb, and you? The murder of the son of a first-class official in the imperial court is also full of beheadings. ”
Xiaoyu was startled and cried: "My father and mother didn't make a mistake, it has nothing to do with them." ”
"Smack!"
Su Mu slapped a dilapidated table angrily and shouted: "You hurt them yourself, no one forced you." ”
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and stopped crying.
Mu Yun immediately said, "You don't have time, Xiaoyu." ”
Xiaoyu, who had not been frightened like this, froze in place, as if thinking about something.
"Don't say it yet?" Song Zirui scolded.
Xiaoyu's face changed slightly: "I said everything I had to say." ”
Song Zirui smiled and shouted at the officials outside: "Someone! ”
A few people hurriedly ran outside the cell, and said, "What do you command?" ”
Song Zirui grimaced: "Send a message to your lords, so that he can send someone to bring Wang Xiaoyu's family to justice." ”
Xiaoyu's face turned pale and stared at Song Zirui in disbelief.
"Don't, don't, don't, don't!" Xiaoyu cried loudly, kneeling and pleading.
Su Mu's face was expressionless, revealing a sense of indifference: "I don't have any patience. ”
Mu Yun was very anxious when he saw her hesitation, "It's true that Young Lady Xiaoyu died from the impact, but afterwards, in order to destroy the scars, the murderer hit her head with a blunt object until the flesh and blood were not smeared. ”
"With the young lady's physique, how could you carry her out of the city and run back without leaving a trace."
"Who exactly are you protecting? Is it Gu Nanyuan or Qian Steward? ”
After listening to Mu Yun's words, Xiaoyu was stunned, she didn't expect there to be so many flaws.
Mu Yun's words had a powerful impact on her, and panic occupied her whole body.
After a moment, Xiao Yuchuan completely collapsed: "It's not a son, it's a money manager!" It's the money in charge! ”
Xiaoyu's psychological defense line was defeated, and Jiang Ling immediately took out a pen and paper.
"Once, when I ran into the misdeeds of the young lady and the money steward, they threatened me to drag me to feed the dogs if I dared to speak out. He also promised that as long as I kept the secret, my parents would have no worries about food and clothing. ”
"Later, the young lady became pregnant, and she was worried that the matter would be revealed, so I asked me to make an abortion pill for her. When I came back, she got into an argument with the money manager, and the money manager pushed her. ”
"And then?" Gangneung couldn't wait to ask.
And then ...... Then Madame's head hit the table, and the money steward threatened me to kill my family if I dared to speak out. ”
Jiang Ling handed the testimony to Xiao Yu, "Let's draw a charge." ”
"You can arrest the criminal Qian An!" Su Mu said sharply.
The funeral curtain in Shangshu's mansion has been hung out, and it seems that it is going to prepare for the funeral.
Seeing a few people who rushed in, Gu Qilin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Except for Qian San, please let all his irrelevant people go down." Su Mu said after saluting.
After the servant was gone, he looked at Qian San, who was panicking, "Qian San, did you say it in front of Lord Shangshu or in the yamen?" ”
Jiang Ling also presented Xiaoyu's testimony to Gu Qilin, "Lord Shangshu, please take a look." ”
"Bastard!" Gu Qilin slapped the table angrily and scolded: "What an adulterer, go get my Hanlin sword!" ”
Gu Nanyuan also understood in an instant, he was cuckolded, and his heart was naturally unhappy.
rushed up and caught Qian San off guard with a punch.
The evidence was conclusive, Qian San couldn't quibble, and knelt on the ground in embarrassment and kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Yuan'er, you get up." Gu Qilin held the Hanlin Sword in his hand and vowed to cut him.
Su Mu stepped forward to stop Gu Qilin, "My lord, wouldn't killing him with the Hanlin Sword defile this sword and dirty the land of Shangshu Mansion?" ”
Gu Qilin gritted his teeth angrily, "Send him to the county government, and he will receive the criminal law of the eighty-first middle school one by one." ”
"Adult, adult, don't, don't, don't, just spare the little one!"
Qian San's wailing voice gradually faded away with the officials.
Lord Shang Shu's whole body was still trembling with anger, and the sword in his hand fell on Gu Yang's spiritual position, which was split in half.
"Remove all funeral rites, wrap yourself in straw mats, and throw them into mass graves!"
"Carry Yang Qiaoqiao out the back door." The old lady spoke, "The empty coffin was carried from the front door to the Gu family's grave mountain, and there was no need to be careful, this coffin was burned after dark."
The old lady is just protecting the face of the Gu Mansion and the face of the Yang family.
