Chapter 229: Discover Important Clues!
After all, if Guo Wangfu didn't have the heart to marry such an in-law, he would not have sent the dignified Princess Guo to come forward at the beginning, and now it is such an attitude, isn't it a contradiction? Or is it all just smoke bombs? In order to clear the suspicion of Guo Wangfu?
Jiang Yuanliu suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
If the assassination was not done by King Guo, who would it be?
Behind Wen Chuyun is the Fuguo Mansion, and behind the Fuguo Mansion is the eldest princess, the reason why the eldest princess was able to survive in the palace was because of the Fuguo Mansion.
If the Fuguo Mansion falls, then the rights of the eldest princess will be hollowed out, and in the entire court, the only ones who want to destroy the eldest princess the most are probably the eldest prince and the queen.
If this is the case, although this is a bit risky, it makes no one doubt them, and such a careful mind is really frightening.
At this time, Teng Zhuyue ran into the inner room with a happy face, and saw that Jiang Yuanliu was thinking about the problem at this time, so he slowed down and walked to Jiang Yuanliu's side steadily.
said in a slightly joyful tone: "Miss, Fang Chun Tao came to report that Qiu Hua had woken up at this time. Now there is no danger to life. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanliu slowly raised his head, with a rare joy in his eyes: "When did you wake up?" ”
"Chun Tao said that she woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, and when she woke up, she shouted that she was hungry." Listening to Chun Tao's chatter, Teng Zhuyue also felt the same in his heart: "It's just that when Chun Tao returned, she said that Qiu Hua had vaguely seen that the murderer was wearing thick-soled boots before she fainted. ”
Platform boots?
Commoners in Qingqi were not allowed to wear boots, especially platform boots, which were only worn by nobles and officials.
And according to different grades, the style and pattern of boots and the materials are different.
It's just that if Qiuhua is not mistaken, then this is indeed an important clue to solve this matter.
"Remember if it was satin or cloth?" Only the court officials were allowed to wear boots made of satin, and the jailers could only barely wear coarse cloth boots.
If we had started the investigation in this area, the scope of the investigation would have narrowed down considerably.
Teng Zhuyue didn't expect Jiang Yuanliu to ask so carefully, and he couldn't answer for a while, so he lowered his head and blamed himself quite ashamedly: "Please also ask Miss to punish, I was only happy at the time, and I didn't think it through, and I didn't ask clearly." ”
Jiang Yuanliu was angry and gently put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and immediately ordered: "Go and prepare the carriage quickly." ”
Along the way, Jiang Yuanliu kept asking the coachman to speed up, and soon she came to Yu Qinglou, but as soon as she stepped into the door of Yu Qinglou, she saw Sun Xiaoyu trotting down from the second floor......
"You're here." Seeing Jiang Yuanliu, Sun Xiaoyu seemed to be very happy, but there was deep worry in his eyes full of joy.
Jiang Yuanliu looked up and saw Sun Xiaoyu standing a few steps away from the ground, wearing a dark silver silk robe, with a piece of Hetian jade hanging from his waist, and the gray silver hair, which attracted the attention of all the diners in the hall for a while.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuanliu put on a gauze hat before stepping out of the carriage today, although it was a little stuffy in the hot weather, but it blocked everyone's curious eyes very well, and invisibly saved her a lot of trouble.
Although there was a layer of smoky blue light veil, Sun Xiaoyu could still see the smile on the corner of Jiang Yuanliu's mouth, but there was a sudden pain in his heart.
The woman in front of her, when everyone else was still enjoying the good years, she was carrying a lot of things alone, and the light smile on the corner of her mouth was just a mask for her to show people.
Under the mask, she also has the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people, but she is deeply hidden under the mask. For the people who are important to her, she is trying her best to protect them, even if it is the abyss ahead.
Jiang Yuanliu immediately felt all kinds of inquiring eyes projected around him, so he nodded slightly towards Sun Xiaoyu in front of him, and then took Teng Zhuyue up to the third floor together.
Sun Xiaoyu naturally knew that the eyes around him were somewhat of watching a play, so he pretended to be okay and passed by Jiang Yuanliu, one went upstairs and the other went downstairs, and then the two never crossed paths.
"Miss." After walking up to the third floor, I saw Liu Da standing motionless at the door of the wing room at this time, and his black eyes revealed the tenacity and caution that only soldiers can have.
For a while, Jiang Yuanliu felt that he had really found the right person.
"Good work." Seeing Liu Da's motionless appearance at this time, Jiang Yuanliu was indescribably moved in his heart, but before Qiuhua fully recovered his health, I was afraid that he would have to bother him again.
And Liu Da's face was also rarely red at this time, and then he pursed his lips embarrassedly, and his eyes were always looking straight ahead, and his appearance at this time became more and more like a soldier standing guard.
Teng Zhuyue, who had never been smiling, also lowered his head and smiled secretly, but Jiang Yuanliu glanced back at Teng Zhuyue, so he saw Teng Zhuyue immediately put away his smile, and followed Jiang Yuanliu into the wing room with a solemn face.
"Miss." It happened that Qiuhua was drinking medicine at this time, and when he saw Jiang Yuanliu coming, he struggled to get up and salute, Jiang Yuanliu hurriedly caught up and pressed his body lightly.
Then he took off the gauze hat on his head and handed it to Teng Zhuyue behind him, while he carefully observed Qiuhua's face.
Although Qiuhua's face is still as pale as paper today, compared to the miserable whiteness of the previous injury, I don't know how many times better now.
Moreover, she was also in good spirits after using medicine, and after seeing this, Jiang Yuanliu was relieved a little.
"It was all my negligence before. I didn't even find a few nursing homes to protect you and your grandmother, and now you are so seriously injured. Jiang Yuanliu helped Qiuhua lie down again, and then carefully tucked the corner of the quilt on the side for her, and said with self-reproach in his tone.
Qiuhua herself is a solid-eyed child, and this incident is completely just an accident in her eyes, seeing Jiang Yuanliu so self-reproachful.
Qiu Hua, who was lying down, suddenly felt hot in his heart, so he hurriedly wanted to straighten up and explain, regardless of the wound he had finally healed: "Miss, this is just an accident. ”
Seeing her react like this, Jiang Yuanliu immediately helped her to lie down, and the soft light in her eyes just now immediately dissipated, and then gradually surfaced with a touch of coldness.
He said with a sneer: "Accident? Even if it is a robbery, it will not hurt people's lives, which is obviously an attempt to kill people.
This gangster went in with a murder weapon, which means that they are here to take people's lives, I originally thought that there was something wrong in the house, after all, Qi Ruge's mother and daughter have always been eyeing me, and they are afraid of many people in the Fuguo Mansion, so for the sake of safety, I will temporarily place you outside, who wants to make it more convenient for some people to start. ”
"Does Miss know who did it now?" Mama Zhang, who was sitting on the soft couch, immediately asked anxiously.
Qiuhua has been serving and taking care of her as a mother these days, and now in Mama Zhang's heart, she has long regarded this careful and gentle child as her own daughter.
Now that she is seriously injured in order to protect herself, Mama Zhang's emotions naturally cannot be calmed down for a long time, if it weren't for her age, I'm afraid she would personally find out the murderer and bring him to justice.
"Don't worry, Mama." Although Jiang Yuanliu can understand Mama Zhang's mood at the moment, the most important thing now is to first ask what style the pair of boots she saw before Qiuhua fell into a coma, so as to confirm the speculation in her heart.
"Qiuhua, what you saw at that time, you will think about it carefully and tell me, don't let go of any detail." Jiang Yuanliu concentrated, which made Qiu Hua, who was half-lying on the bed, nervous slightly, so his thoughts immediately fell into the chaos of the day and night.
The slave felt that it was late at night, so she put away the herbs and planned to go back to her room to rest. It was precisely because of the depth of the night that it was very quiet outside, and even if a leaf fell to the ground, it could be heard clearly. The slave was about to lock the door of the pharmacy when she heard a very light footstep in the courtyard.
Then through the window, I saw several tall black-clothed people jumping into the courtyard one after another, each of them holding a bright knife in their hands, the slave maid was very frightened, so she thought about quickly locking it and then ran to Mama Zhang's room and moved her under the bed.
Perhaps it was the sound of the slave and maid running that attracted the attention of the thieves, and they soon followed into the bedroom, and without saying a word, they stabbed the slave and maid in the abdomen.
Because the weather was very hot that day, Mama Zhang fell asleep with the window open, and the slave maid saw the thief wearing a pair of black cloth boots by the moonlight.
That's right! It's a pair of black cloth boots. Immediately after that, the slave fainted in pain, and it is not clear what happened next. Qiu Hua carefully recalled the events of that night, especially when talking about the boots, he pondered for a while, and finally said with great certainty.
After Jiang Yuanliu listened, the expression on his face immediately turned a little colder, and the coldness in his eyes made people feel cold in his heart, and it took a long time to hear her mutter: "Now I still involve you in this dispute, I can't help you......"
Now, there is more than one person in the entire Qingqi who wants Wen Chuyun's life, and those who hold power have no shortage of those who are willing to die for them.
Although it is said that just through a pair of shoes, some suspicious people can be excluded on the surface, but it is inevitable that this is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, deliberately leading himself down the wrong path.
