The next morning, the dawn broke, and Xilin Villa woke up from the dark night, and the servants began their busy day again!

After Di Renjie finished washing, because he was anxious, the breakfast was also bland and tasteless, and the three of them hastily finished breakfast, Li Yuanfang made a cup of hot tea for Di Renjie!

Li Yuanfang said with concern: "My lord, it seems that your complexion is not very good, did you not rest well last night?" ”

Di Renjie took the tea bowl in Li Yuanfang's hand, didn't answer, and gently put the tea bowl on the table!

Xiao Ying opened her mouth and said, "Elder Ge, are you waiting for the news of this Tang Steward to be a little anxious?" ”

Di Renjie nodded slowly, and said slowly: "The old case has not been solved, and the new case has come out again, it is really a wave of unsettled and wave after wave, how can it not make people feel bored?" ”

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "My lord, don't be too anxious, take care of your body!" ”

Di Renjie sighed: "The whereabouts of this Tang Gongzi and the owner's wife Haitang are still unknown, and there are deaths in this villa, but this is not the most important thing, I am just worried that too much time will be involved in this case, and Liu Maoyuan's matter will be delayed!" ”

Xiao Ying comforted: "Elder Ge, now we have no clues about Liu Maoyuan's disappearance, and besides, Di Chun and Chang Ping are not idle, and they have been looking for clues, don't be too anxious!" ”

Di Renjie nodded, took a sip of tea, and was just about to speak, when there was a sudden knock outside the door!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, are you there?" It's the voice of the housekeeper Tang Lu!

Li Yuanfang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's Steward Tang!" ”

Di Renjie raised his hand, Li Yuanfang and the others understood and opened the door!

"Yo, General Li is also there?" Butler Tang Lu said!

Li Yuanfang bowed in return, flashed and let Tang Lu into the room, Di Renjie saw Tang Lu come in, got up and asked, "Steward Tang, how is it?" Did you find anything? ”

The housekeeper Tang Lu bowed down and said: "My lord, the little one went to the Jinyuan rice shop overnight yesterday, and the shopkeeper said that Gou Er came to the villa to deliver rice, and he didn't return overnight, and he only returned to the Jinyuan rice shop yesterday morning!" ”

Di Renjie couldn't help but look nervous after hearing this, twisted his hair and pondered for a moment, and said: "In this way, this maid Chunhong and this Gou Er are indeed suspicious!" In this way, Yuan Fang, you immediately set off to Shanyin County now, and ordered Shanyin County to send out a catcher, led by you, to Jinyuan Rice Store to arrest Gou Er! Steward Tang, you and my niece Xiao Ying are going to be the maids

Nu Chunhong brought it to the main hall of the villa, and the pavilion opened the court in this Xilin Villa to ask about the case! ”

"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison!

Di Renjie straightened up, walked out of the room, and went straight to the main hall of the villa!

It didn't take much time, Di Renjie came to the main hall to sit down, and the housekeeper Tang Lu and Xiao Ying brought the maid Chunhong over, in order to prevent Chunhong from escaping, Tang Lu also brought a group of family members over, and surrounded the main hall!

Chunhong looked flustered, came to the main hall, and saw Di Renjie sitting in a precarious position, imposing, not angry and arrogant, Chunhong only felt that her legs were weak and she couldn't stand, she knelt on the ground, and said cowardly: "People, people's daughter, Chunhong, Chunhong knocks to see adults!" ”

Di Renjie asked with a cold face, "Are you Chunhong?" ”

Chunhong nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes!" ”

Di Renjie shouted: "Bold Chunhong, are you guilty?" ”

Chunhong was frightened by Di Renjie's shout, trembling like chaff, and kowtowed again and again: "The great people's daughter is wronged!" ”

"Shut up!" Di Renjie broke off again, "Bold Chunhong, if this pavilion doesn't have evidence of your guilt, how can it bring you here?" And what thou hast committed has not been brought upon by the truth? ”

Chunhong cried: "My lord, the folk girl really doesn't know what crime she has committed, she is really wronged!" ”

Di Renjie looked at Chunhong, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Okay, since you don't confess, then this pavilion asks you, did you have a dispute with Xiaocui a few days ago, which led to a fight, is there such a thing?" ”

Chunhong couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly defended: "My lord Mingjian, the folk girl did quarrel with Xiaocui, but it was Xiaocui who beat the folk girl, and Xiaocui's death has nothing to do with the folk girl?" The folk girl is indeed wronged, and the adults are aware of it! ”

Di Renjie sneered: "It's okay? Then why did this pavilion hear that you said more than once in front of others that you wanted to take revenge on Xiaocui? ”

Chunhong was slightly stunned, and said with tears streaming down her face: "My lord is wronged, the folk girl really didn't say that she wanted to take revenge on Xiaocui?" ”

"Oh? So far, you still deny it in every possible way? Okay, Steward Tang, go and call those handmaidens who work with Chunhong! Di Renjie said loudly!

Chunhong, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but look nervous and panicked when she heard Di Renjie's arrangement!

After a while, the housekeeper Tang Lu brought a few servant girls over, and all the servant girls knelt on the ground and bowed, and said in unison: "The people knock to see the lord!" ”

Di Renjie looked at Tang

A few handmaidens brought over by Lu twisted their hair and asked, "This pavilion asks you, have you ever heard this Chunhong say that she wants this Xiaocui to look good?" ”

Several handmaidens looked at each other, glanced at Chunhong, hesitated and didn't know how to speak!

Di Renjie shouted: "Honestly reply, there is something, there is nothing, don't think about covering up, and don't frame!" Tell me the truth, otherwise this cabinet will punish you as the same crime! ”

Several handmaidens trembled, and one of the handmaidens kowtowed: "Back to the adult, Chunhong did say such things to us, just after the two of them fought, on the way back, Chunhong said it herself, and several of us heard it!" ”

Several other maidservants also echoed, Chunhong looked at a few people angrily, but she didn't dare to say anything!

Di Renjie nodded, and asked again: "Then tell me, what did Chunhong and Xiaocui quarrel about, and why did Xiaocui beat Chunhong?" ”

The maid replied: "My lord, here's the thing, we washed clothes together in the backyard that day, and then Xiaocui came, Chunhong saw Xiaocui, so she threw the clothes she was going to wash into Xiaocui's basin, Xiaocui didn't do it, Chunhong said, you still think you are Mrs. Maid?" You'll have to listen to me when you get there, and you'll have to wash it if I tell you to, ma'am......"

The maid was halfway through speaking, but suddenly stopped, Di Renjie raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "Go on!" With this pavilion in charge of you, no one can do anything to you! ”

The maid continued: "Chunhong said, the lady has eloped with the young owner, what kind of master has what kind of maid, do you kidnap a man to elope one day?" So Xiaocui quarreled with Chunhong, the more noisy the more fierce, and then Xiaocui beat Chunhong, and then Xiaocui returned to the room, Chunhong said to us, Xiaocui, you wait for me, I must make you look good! ”

"Spring Red! You are so bold, a servant girl dares to criticize the lady and the young owner, I think you are impatient! Butler Tang Lu scolded angrily on the side!

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry with Steward Tang first, don't intervene in the trial of this cabinet!" ”

The housekeeper Tang Lu hurriedly apologized, bowed down and said, "Yes!" Adult, the small one is abrupt! With that, he stepped aside!

Di Renjie got up and walked in front of Chunhong, and asked, "Chunhong, now that there is a witness, what else do you have to say?" ”

Chunhong knelt on the ground and didn't answer, just kept crying!
