Chapter 6: Madame
————————
Jiang Chunlai led people straight to the second floor, originally these rooms were next to each other, and they could be served with one pot and one knife, which also saved effort.
But they still went to Ming Jin's room first, without it, just because if something happened, for example, the young man surnamed Bi woke up first, and Ming Jin was their life talisman.
Jiang Chunlai and Zhang Sanyi opened the door together, the room was dark, and as soon as he entered, Jiang Chunlai saw someone lying on the bed by the light of the moonlight.
The two of them involuntarily touched it, and suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.
"It's so late, is there something wrong with sneaking into my master's room?"
Perversely, who else could be the tone of indifference?
The two men were horrified and were about to raise their knives to attack and flee.
Bi Shiyi, who was standing behind the door, and another coachman quickly took the person down.
It won't last a few rounds.
On the bed, Peony lifted the quilt, but didn't look at Jiang Chunlai and the two who were tied up on the ground, only lit the candle, and under the light of the hall, the hideousness and embarrassment of the two were unobstructed.
Of course, when Peony saw the kitchen knife that had been untied, the fear of facing the villains was immediately gone, and he only became angry, "If you open an inn and do murder, people like you should be sentenced to Ling Chi to death!" ”
Jiang Chunlai and Zhang San didn't know where they were being guarded, Jiang Chunlai still wanted to quibble, but the thief shouted to catch the thief, and shouted, "What are you doing!" Wronged me! Relying on his large number of people and martial arts, he forcibly took me here with the intention of murdering, and you are the villain! ”
The peony was angry, but he heard a soft and hoarse voice from outside the door, "The bowl you took away was replaced by us, and the bowl you gave us was poisonous, but after testing, you poisoned it in the front, sneaked in with a knife in the back, and there were corpses soaked in the pond outside for several days. ”
Ming Jin walked in and silently watched the panic on Jiang Chunlai's face that could not be concealed, but he also saw his struggle.
"It must have been done by someone else, why should I say it's me!"
"Tub."
Jiang Chunlai was stunned, but his eyes couldn't help but drift over.
He certainly knew what the word meant, and where it was.
It was not a few steps away from where he was lying on his stomach.
But he couldn't help it, but he didn't dare to look at it, for fear of recalling it....
"Although he was born by a merchant family, he was pampered since he was a child, but he was tall and courageous, so he dared to go business without his entourage.
"No matter how strong a man is, if he lies in the bathtub and his body sinks in the water, and the medicine is weak, and the two of you come in with knives and slash him to death, and the blood flows so much that it seeps into the cracks in the wood, and you panic at that time, and you only hurriedly take the body to the pond and throw it down, and dispose of the blood in the tub, but even if you wash it once or twice, it is always not clean, at least you are weak in your heart, and you abandon it in the storeroom."
When Jiang Chunlai heard this, he almost followed her train of thought, and suddenly said with hatred: "You woman is so hateful, what does this matter have to do with you, if it weren't for your maid who had to take out the bath bucket, how could I take it out!" ”
Nine out of ten people in this world are accustomed to blaming others.
Ming Jin was not angry or annoyed, but said: "Yes, you could not have taken it out, but why did you take it out, it was just because you wanted an extra tael of silver from the peony." ”
Jiang Chunlai's cheeks twitched, and the woman with calm eyebrows and eyes added softly: "Even, if you are not willing to destroy the only bath barrel in this inn, but hide it and wait for it to continue to use it for a long time in the future, it will not make me suspicious." ”
Jiang Chunlai hated her posture the most, struggled angrily, and yelled at her, "What do you know about a person who eats and drinks without worrying about it!" Do you dare to call me greedy!? ”
He wanted to rush over, but was held down hard by Bi Shiyi, so he couldn't move.
However, Peony was most disgusted with the way he didn't admit that he was doing evil, so he quickly mended the knife beside him: "No, this means that you pick." ”
Jiang Chunlai was stunned, very embarrassed, staring at the peony with cold resentment, and the peony was cold.
Ming Jin frowned, pulled the peony behind him, blocked Jiang Chunlai's sight, and said calmly: "So you admit that you deserve to kill for money?" ”
"It's not that I want to kill him, it's that he shouldn't.... So much money, he has so much money, why can't he give it to me. ”
He first swallowed and vomited, and then really took it for granted, "Anyway, he is not short of money, just right for me." ”
For such a person, they were speechless about peony, and what was even more unfortunate was the businessman surnamed Li who was killed by him to take the wealth, because he was rich, he was hacked to death when he was in the bath, how can it be reasonable?
Ming Jin didn't argue with him about right and wrong, but only said softly: "You have been quibbling before, but now you are exposed, is it a broken jar?" ”
Jiang Chunlai's eyes flashed, and he chuckled, "What's the use of you taking me now, when I'm a countryman, I'm so fooled?" In fact, none of the evidence is ironclad, can you prove that I did it? It could be someone else, as long as I don't recognize ...... death."
When he said this, Zhang San, who was pressed to the ground on the side, was stunned, and gradually reacted and panicked, "Boss, boss, are you going to take me to the top cylinder?" ”
Peony still couldn't hold back, "Isn't this unclear?" It's you! ”
Zhang San was angry, and immediately loudly accused Jiang Chunlai, and identified him as the mastermind, and tricked himself into killing people with his side, after a quarrel.
Ming Jin suddenly turned sideways and shouted softly outside the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have been waiting for this time, is it feasible now?" ”
Jiang Chunlai's eyes were straight, and he had a very bad premonition, and sure enough, he tried his best to raise his eyes and look at the door, waiting to see a few pairs of thick-soled black boots exclusive to government officials, and then see the faces of several officials.
He was desperate.
The errand is coming now? But she didn't let that Bi Shiyi go tomorrow... Wrong! She did it on purpose!
What she overheard before was what she deliberately said to him!
"You! You did it on purpose.... You were hanging on my words before! ”
Jiang Chunlai is naturally not a stupid person, thinking about this girl Xie who doesn't talk much on weekdays, she talks inexplicably at night, and elaborates on the details of his murder and wealth, at that time, he only thought that the other party was unfair to the deceased, or showing off his ability, but he didn't want to have such a scheming plan.
I'm afraid that even the fact that she wanted to blame Zhang San was deliberately led by her.
Think carefully about your previous words, plus Zhang San's identification later.
This... It's all under her calculations!
Jiang Chunlai vomited to death, and when he saw Ming Jin like a femme fatale, he couldn't wait to eat her.
But Ming Jin no longer cared about him, and only let the servants take people away.
It is said that the errands are also bitter, and it is true to collect money to do things, but it is also a drudgery to run around in the rain for days and days, and it is also a drudgery to find people everywhere.
Fortunately, the murderer was caught.
Although they were a little curious about the identities of Ming Jin and the others, they also knew that the case was serious, and they were about to take people away, when suddenly a person rushed in from outside, and there was a cry before they arrived.
Ming Jin looked at the visitor and was a little surprised, this was not the woman from the pastoral cottage.
It's Jiang Chunlai's wife.
"Miss Xie, my husband is innocent, he.... He didn't mean to hurt anyone, he did it for me, it was all for me. ”
The woman was weak, knelt down directly towards Mingjin, skinny body, about thirty years old, thin but especially a little beautiful appearance, her eyes were scarlet, tears were pouring down, and she cried: "My husband was because of..."
Jiang Chunlai suddenly became furious, blushing and yelling: "Shut up!" ”
The woman shrank down, a little afraid, but she still mustered up her courage, "Miss Xie, my lords, that Li Yi is not a good person, if he wasn't lighter than me that night, my husband wouldn't be for..."
Although she found it difficult to speak, she still resorted to words.
This is a secret behind it, but others have not been able to perceive it, and it was inferred before that it was only thought that Jiang Chun came to kill people for money, but now it seems that there is a reason for it.
The servants were stunned, but they still said that Jiang Chun came to kill people and throw corpses, and he should bear the responsibility, and as for other reasons, he would go to the government and ask the adults to decide.
The woman was very disappointed when she saw that the servant was still going to take people away, so she pleaded with Ming, "Miss Xie, please, please help us, he really didn't mean to kill someone, and he didn't do it for money, but for me." ”
She cried so pitifully and helplessly that Peony was red-eyed and couldn't help but go over and help her.
Ming Jin had seen this woman before and knew her pity, after all, Jiang Chunlai and that little Jiao were a little dirty, but if Jiang Chunlai really killed someone to protect his wife, he seemed to be understanding and tolerant to others, and this kind of affection was more important to this woman than anything else.
It's no wonder that she didn't hesitate to expose her inviolable privacy to save her husband.
"I'm just an ordinary person, it's hard to meddle, but I think that if it's the truth, if you dig into it to the end, there will be an echo, and Madame will confide the truth to the government as much as possible, and let the government decide."
Ming Jin felt a little pity for her, helped to help her up, and held her wrist to gently guide her, but the latter could only cry and respond, and then pleaded with the errand officer, hoping that he could accompany him.
The messenger also agreed, and sent someone to take down the little Jiao, but he didn't take it back to the yamen directly, because the most important body had not been fished out yet.
After exiting the room like a stream, she stood in the corridor and saw Xu Qiubai, who had been quietly watching not far away, by the candlelight of the room.
Xu Qiubai was told by her to hide in a safe place before, and she was not notified until the situation was over, but now the other party obviously came early, and I don't know how long I watched it or how much I listened.
But he came along.
"Disturb Mr. again tonight?" Ming Jin really felt guilty, she was a good student who was rushing to take the exam, and she was "delayed" three times and twice, so many times that she was embarrassed to apologize.
"Hmm."
This time, Xu Qiubai didn't seem to be so tolerant and polite.
Before Ming Jin could react, the other party had a blank face and glanced at the place where Jiang Chunlai and the others had just been detained.
"I'm bothering you too."
When he said this, he was disgusted by the meanness of the group of people who did not hesitate to read.
