"How can such a thing happen?"

"Isn't it?" Guo Tai said, "Only a few people knew about this matter, but then Mrs. was not in good health, and in the end, it was lost because of the unhappiness of giving birth to the little master...... This matter has become more and more taboo in the house, and no one usually dares to mention it. ”

Song Zixun pursed his lips and thought about it, and suddenly the words changed, "You said that since you came to Huo Mansion, you have never seen your wife?" ”

"Yes." Guo Tai nodded, "Madame has been raising a baby in her yard, and she never comes out easily." ”

"What about those who serve?" Song Zixun asked thoughtfully, "Who are the subordinates in the mansion who served Mrs. Huo in the past?" ”

Guo Tai thought seriously for a while, "When my wife died in childbirth, the lord was angry and sent all the maids and mother-in-law around his wife, and the young ones were directly sold to the teeth, and they were sent to the country grange after many years of work in Huofu. is still in the house now, in addition to Mrs. Madame's former personal maid meditation, there is also an elderly Mama Jiang - I heard that she is an old man who served Mrs. Huo in the past, and Mrs. Huo has been following Mrs. Huo since her death...... Because she had no children and no daughters, and she was old and faint, my lord saw her pitiful, so he left her in the house to support her for the elderly. ”

Song Zixun also has some impressions of this Mama Jiang...... It's an old lady who looks at the ancestral hall. Because of his age, his ears are already a little back, and the last time he caught a quick question, the cow's lips were not in the horse's mouth, and there were a lot of jokes......

Song Zixun saw that he had almost inquired, so he said lightly to Guo Tai, "You go back first, if your confession is anything inconsistent with Liu Youcai and them later——"

"Don't worry, my lord, absolutely not!" Guo Tai hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.

Song Zixun waved his hand, "Let's go down." ”

Guo Tai hurriedly got up from the ground, thought about it, and said tentatively, "Adult, the little one has confessed, and the little one borrowed money from Liu Youcai......

Song Zixun raised his head and looked at him coolly.

Guo Tai's heart sank, "The small one knows, the small one will get out, this will get out!" ”

…… Looking at his figure quickly disappearing at the door, Song Zixun rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

He seems to ...... was really brainwashed by Du Rongzhi.

Doesn't seem like a good thing......

"Your Excellency." The previous catcher walked in from the outside and said to Song Zixun, "Liu Youcai, Xiaochun has been brought." ”

Song Zixun nodded, "Let Liu Youcai come in." ”

…………………………

What happened was exactly the same as what Guo Tai said. That Liu Youcai and Xiaochun have long hooked up and become adulterous, and the two often meet in the Huo family's garden to cheat in the middle of the night when there is no one, and on the night of the incident, they were hit by Guo Tai, who was following them, and used this as a threat to extort them a sum of money as "hush money". The three of them each had a ghost, for fear that their ugly things would be revealed, so when they were questioned in the first two times, they all insisted that they were sleeping in the house during the time of the crime. As for the other people in the same room, they either really fell asleep and did not know it, or they were afraid of their authority, or they befriended them, but none of them gave any testimony. If it weren't for the little guy next door who got up at night and saw a figure vaguely, and later recalled that he felt like Guo Tai, I am afraid that these would not have been released to the public.

It's just that in this way, the suspicion of several people has been ruled out.

"You're just meditating?"

Song Zixun looked at the young woman on the ground wearing a white-washed green dress with a dark yellow and rough face, and felt that it was difficult to associate her with Mrs. Huo's personal maid.

Don't say that Xiaohong is dead, I'm afraid that even the other girls in the house look more glamorous than her.

Jing Si fell to the ground and said respectfully, "Yes, slave Jing Si, I have seen my lord." ”

"What were you doing on the night of Xiaohong's accident? Have you ever heard a strange cry? ”

"Back to the adult, the slave was collecting swill with Lu Song at that time." Jing Si lowered his head and said, "...... It seems that we heard a call, but we didn't think much of it at that time-" She explained a little crampedly, "The slave and maid have also explained to the poor master, the weather has been warm recently, and the cat is sometimes ......"

Song Zixun nodded in understanding, "I heard that you used to be Mrs. Huo's personal maid," he paused, looked at her curiously, and said, "Why are you ...... now?"

Pondering and lowering her eyes, "It's the slave who didn't take good care of Madame...... Now that this is the case, it is already my lord who is particularly gracious. ”

Song Zixun disagreed, "Although the matter of your wife is sympathetic, but a woman giving birth to a child is stepping into the ghost gate with half a foot, you are neither a doctor nor a stable woman, and you should not be blamed for this matter anyway." He said, and couldn't help sighing, "I think it's because Huo Yuanwai has a deep relationship with Mrs. Huo, and he can't bear the pain of losing his wife and child, so he is angry with you subordinates." As he spoke, a pair of eyes fell on Jing Si's face with a bad mistake.

The latter's rough face still had no expression.

Song Zixun thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you have a relationship with the deceased on weekdays?" ”

Jing Si shook her head, "The slave maid brushes the bucket in the yard behind her every day......" she pursed her lips, "because the slave maid has a smell on her body, everyone usually ...... is reluctant to approach. ”

Song Zixun bowed slightly, "You should have heard that the place where the deceased had an accident is the courtyard where your wife lived before her death...... Do you know why she was there in the middle of the night? ”

Jing Si raised his head blankly, and a pair of wooden and dull eyes looked at him for a moment before shaking his head slightly, "The slave doesn't know ......"

"When I first came to Shanyin County, I heard rumors that the Huo family was haunted," Song Zixun looked at the top of her hair hanging down again, quite playful, "Now that the haunted courtyard has died inexplicably...... Aunt Gu felt that it was your wife who couldn't enter the way of reincarnation after her death, so she gathered her resentment and turned into a powerful ghost and came out to cast spells to harm people...... She also plans to invite a master who is highly skilled to come to her house and take away your lady's soul......" he asked slowly, "I don't know what you think about this?" ”

Jing Si's face was as calm as just now, but Song Zixun clearly saw that her hand on her lap was clenched hard, and the rough hands and joints that were different from ordinary women had begun to whiten.

Song Zixun didn't urge, just looked at her coldly.

"Lord Song," after a long time, she said slowly, in a slightly hoarse voice, "My wife is kind-hearted and generous, and even for us subordinates, she has always been kind and tolerant. You say that such a person, how can he become a ghost after death? ”

Song Zixun nodded, and said with a straight face, "Yes, I have also heard of Mrs. Huo's virtuous name, and I think she must be a virtuous and kind woman worthy of respect." ”

Jing Si's face paused slightly.

I don't know why, Song Zixun suddenly had a feeling: since she entered the door, what she has shown at this moment is the most authentic self.

I saw Jing Si leaning down deeply, and said very solemnly, "I also ask Lord Song to find out the truth as soon as possible, and give my wife an innocent and fair life!" ”
