Chapter 43: Murder in the middle of the night
"Miss, what are you ......" Lin Tao looked at this battle, something was wrong.
The eldest young master has lived in Mozhuxuan for so many years, and he has always been peaceful, why do you want to clean up the yard today, and say that you want to replace it with a set of brand new furniture?
Xia Junping was just about to explain something, but Xia Jinse interrupted him: "Steward Lin, you said it yourself, is this where the eldest young master should live?" What I know is Mo Zhuxuan, and outsiders are only afraid that they will think it is a firewood house. ”
Lin Tao sneered: "Miss, this is all the eldest young master's own ......"
A sharp gaze swept over, and Xia Jinse snorted coldly: "It seems that the next time I enter the palace, the emperor will give me a reward, and I have to change some." Ask for furniture or something, or you can ask for silver, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is so short of things, the eldest young master's room is full of tatters, do you believe it or not? ”
When Lin Tao heard it, he was terrible.
The eldest lady really wants to go into the palace and tell the emperor that he is a housekeeper, where can he afford it!
"Yes, yes, yes! Both! Miss, I'm going to let someone move the furniture over, and promise to give the eldest young master a new room. He didn't dare to delay for half a moment, Lin Tao hurried to go.
An hour later, Xia Junping's house was completely renewed, and a pot of fresh golden silk was placed to add a bit of vitality. Even some of the broken window lattices have been nailed up, and new window paper has been pasted, so that the wind will not leak at night.
After Xia Jinse's words, Lin Tao took people away respectfully, Xia Jinse went into the house and looked at it, and she was quite satisfied, and when she came out to see Xia Junping, her face faded again.
"What about this house, I am in charge of letting Steward Lin change it, as for whether my brother wants to live temporarily, I don't care."
During the whole process, Xia Junping watched, his eyes were complicated, even if Xia Jinse was forced to this point, he didn't speak. But his face was a little tense, his lips trembled, and he stopped talking.
Xia Jinse walked over, stood in front of him and said, "What, my brother still doesn't want to live?" Don't you feel crippled and don't deserve to live in such a nice place? ”
"Jinse, you...... Don't you force me, can you? I, I'm your brother......" Xia Junping spit out a few words with difficulty, his face was so red that he almost dripped, and he couldn't lift his head.
"You still know you're my brother?"
Xia Jinse smiled coldly and sneered: "But I don't have a brother like you!" ”
"In the past, when I was at the border, I would receive letters from my mother every once in a while, and I thought my mother was alive all along. Later, I found out that it was my brother who wrote it on his behalf. At that time, I thought that my brother cared about me and loved me, but now that I look at it, my brother has long been a living dead. ”
"If my mother knew, I don't know how sad it would be......"
Xia Jinse didn't say much, and said in a deep voice: "I'm different from you, I won't let those people get away with it, I will avenge my mother, and I will let myself live well, even if I am a woman, I will not succumb to fate in this life." ”
After speaking, she took out a handful of medicine and put it in Xia Junping's hand.
"Your illness is not incurable, and your leg wound can be healed, but the heart is dead, and it is really dead. This medicine is for your cough, but do you like to take it! If you want to drag it out or cheer up, it's up to you. ”
After speaking, Xia Jinse took the wood incense and the moon and left.
Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Xia Junping clenched the bottle of medicine, and his joints were already white.
Leaving Mo Zhuxuan, on the way back, Mu Xiang was a little worried: "Miss, if you force the eldest young master so much, will he ...... Can't think about it? ”
"You're worried about his death?"
Xia Jinse hooked his lips and said lightly: "My brother has survived for so many years, how can I say a few words and he will die?" I'm afraid that those people are still harsh, so that his previous arrogance is gone. ”
Shooting Moon nodded and understood: "The slave knows that Miss is to arouse the blood of the eldest young master, as long as he can't forget the death of his wife and still remembers the younger sister of Miss, he should cheer up." ”
Exactly!
Xia Jinse deliberately stimulated Xia Junping, he is so proud that he has been decadent so far, in addition to using extraordinary means, he also wants to let him see hope. She gave Xia Junping medicine and told him about the curative effect, as for whether to eat it or not, it depends on whether he wants to take revenge.
However, she said these words in front of Mo Zhuxuan's girl just now, just to attract some people, she was only afraid that something would happen in the past two days, and she had to guard against something else.
After all, there are too many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in this prime minister's house.
……
Mo Zhuxuan made such a big move, Xia Jinse and the others didn't go back yet, and the Lotus Xiangyuan side knew about it.
As soon as the Zhao family heard Lin Tao's words, Xia Jinse actually went to Mozhuxuan and gave Xia Junping a room of new furniture?
"What the hell is she going to do?" Zhao frowned.
Xia Jinse has neither been in contact with the eldest prince nor hooked up with the second prince for a while, she is planning for her two daughters, who knows, Xia Jinse actually went to see Xia Junping.
How Xia Junping was injured, why he was so decadent, and what life he lived in Mozhuxuan, the Zhao family knew best. Originally, there was a ghost in her heart, and she immediately suspected it.
"Could it be that she wants to investigate something?"
Lin Tao said: "Madam, I'm afraid that the eldest lady wants to find out something because of her assassination." If she began to suspect the eldest young master's fall from the horse back then, maybe ......" He paused before whispering: "Even the eldest lady has passed away, the eldest lady also suspects." ”
Zhao's heart jumped, she was originally worried that Ji Xiao was crookedly trying to find out the person who assassinated Xia Jinse, but later she learned that that person was actually looking for the killer of the Soul Chasing Building. This case is now under investigation by the imperial court, and she has been widely implicated, and she has been worried.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jinse went to Mozhuxuan again.
As soon as this girl came back, the Prime Minister's Mansion was not at peace, and the more Zhao thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he must solve this matter quickly.
……
Just after the end of the day, the sky was already dark, and Mo Zhuxuan only had the sound of bamboo leaves rustling, which became more and more silent.
A figure sneaked out, looked around, and slowly moved towards the main house.
The lights were on in Xia Junping's room, but there was no sound, the figure walked carefully to the door, looked through the gap in the hidden door, and then pushed the door open and entered.
In the room, Xia Junping was sitting in a wheelchair, but the person was collapsed, unconscious, and there was an empty bowl on the table.
The man laughed evilly, quickly took out a piece of rope from his arms, and threw it on the beam. In a moment, the rope had been tied into a dead knot by him, he tried the length, and then pushed the wheelchair and moved Xia Junping under the knot.
"Young Master, don't blame the villain for your death, blame yourself for your own bad life and blocking other people's paths." The man muttered in his mouth, and began to pick up the limp Xia Junping, and laboriously put his head into the knot.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
"What a bold man, he dared to murder the eldest young master!" Shooting Moon stood at the door, and said coldly.
Sure enough, the young lady was like a god, and someone would come to harm the eldest young master, so she and Chaiyun stared at Mo Zhuxuan. I thought that the other party would endure it for a few days, but I couldn't hold back my hands on the first night.
As soon as the man's frightened hand loosened, Xia Junping fell to the ground weakly, but he turned around and fled.
Before he could reach the window, he fell to his knees.
The knee was in severe pain, and he didn't know what was going on, this person looked at the moon in despair, and quickly kowtowed and begged.
Soon, Chaiyun came with Xia Jinse, and when he looked at the situation in the house, Xia Jinse recognized the murderer, who turned out to be a subordinate of Mo Zhuxuan.
There are only two people serving Xia Junping, one is the girl she saw during the day, and the other is this subordinate.
Chaiyun stepped forward and slapped the person directly: "Say, who sent you to harm the eldest young master?" ”
"No, no......" The subordinate's face turned pale with fright, and he desperately denied it: "The villain is just, just greedy, he wants to steal something to sell, and he doesn't want to harm the eldest young master......"
Xia Jinse glanced at this person coldly, ignored him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xia Junping, she had practiced martial arts, and moved him very easily and let him sit in a wheelchair.
Until this time, Xia Junping didn't wake up, Xia Jinse tested his breathing, it was quite stable, it seemed that he had been drugged. Shooting Moon took the empty bowl on the table and gave it to Xia Jinse and said, "Miss, look. ”
The residue in the bowl really smelled a little.
"Go get some water, and a white scarf." Xia Jinse said.
Soon, Shooting Moon came with a basin, Xia Jinse washed Xia Junping's face with cold water, and as soon as the cold well water stimulated, Xia Junping finally woke up.
He opened his eyes blankly, covering his forehead, as if he was a little dizzy, not knowing what was going on.
"Sister, why are you ......?"
Shooting the moon quickly told the story, and Xia Junping woke up like a dream, saying that he only ate a bowl of porridge and didn't know anything. And the one who delivered the porridge was the girl.
Xia Jinse said in a deep voice: "Chasing the clouds, go and bring people." ”
Sure enough, the two subordinates in Mo Zhuxuan have problems, no wonder Xia Junping has been harsh all these years.
After a while, Chaiyun came back: "Miss, the slave searched the Mozhuxuan, but I didn't see anyone." ”
"That's running away."
Looking at the subordinate in front of him, Xia Jinse said coldly: "Your accomplice has already fled, if you don't say it, you will be the one who is unlucky, and she will be relaxed." Murdering the eldest young master, this is a capital crime, do you want to die or live? ”
The man was frightened and kowtowed desperately, but he didn't admit that he was going to murder the eldest young master.
Xia Jinse didn't give him nonsense, but only asked: "Shoot the moon, do you know any methods of coercing confessions?" As long as it's painful and you can't die. ”
Sheyue took out a handful of embroidery needles, and said with a straight face: "Miss, the slave can prick needles in the acupoints on his body, he can't die, but he will be so painful that he can't wait to bite his skin and flesh, do you want to give it a try?" ”
Xia Jinse said coldly: "Not only do you have to try, but it's best to also prick a few ...... in each of his fingernails."
"No, Miss, don't! The villain said! ”
Before he finished speaking, the man was frightened: "It was Aunt Su who gave the villain five taels of silver and asked the villain to kill the eldest young master." Aunt Su said that as long as the person who does it doesn't know the ghost, everyone will only be the eldest young master who commits suicide due to illness, and he can't suspect the villain. I beg forgiveness from the eldest lady......"
