Xiao Ying had been quietly following behind the woman, it was too easy for a commander of the Internal Guard Mansion to follow an ordinary person, not to mention the cover of the night!

To Xiao Ying's surprise, this woman actually came to the courtyard where the well of the sunken corpse Xiaocui was located, the woman looked left and right, gently pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in!

Xiao Ying jumped over the courtyard wall on the other side, landed suddenly, without making a sound, and saw an ancient tree in the courtyard, Xiao Ying dodged and hid behind the tree, staring at the woman in front of her with her eyes!

By the moonlight, Xiao Ying vaguely recognized that this woman seemed to be a servant girl in the village, only to see that the servant girl put down the basket, and what was placed in it was a stack of yellow paper, the servant girl took out the fire fold, lit the dark money, looked at the igniting flames, the servant girl sobbed!

"Xiaocui, I know that you died unjustly, we entered the mansion in the same year, we are like sisters, seeing you die, but my sister and I can't do anything, so I have to burn some paper money for you, you go to the underworld, do a little more yin, and you will not be bullied!" The servant girl sobbed as she burned the paper!

Xiao Ying realized that it was this maid who came here to pay tribute to Xiao Cui, but when she heard this maid say that Xiao Cui died unjustly, Xiao Ying couldn't help but be curious and decided to continue listening!

I only heard the maid continue: "Sister Xiaocui, you said that you just left, leaving your sister alone in this huge villa, where can my sister find someone who cherishes her sister like my sister?" Why are you so stupid? Let's be subordinates, what are we doing with the master's business? I know Madame is nice to you, but you can't behave like that, right? ”

The maidservant was burning paper money, when suddenly the voice of the night guard was heard not far away, "Hey, how can there be a fire there?" Let's go, go and see! ”

When the maidservant heard the sound, she couldn't help but panic, threw the paper money in her hand into the fire, and got up to leave, when the night guard had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard!

Seeing this, Xiao Ying immediately rushed out from behind the tree and pulled the maid over, the maid was startled, and was about to exclaim, Xiao Ying covered her mouth and pulled her to hide behind the tree!

Hula!

The night patrol team pushed open the courtyard door, broke in, and saw the paper money that had been burned on the ground, and a night watchman said angrily: "Who ran here in the middle of the night to burn paper?" As he spoke, he kicked the basket next to him to the side, looked around, found that there was no one, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" So saying, with the other night patrols

The family left the yard!

Hearing that the night patrol team was walking away, Xiao Ying put her hand down, and the maid also recognized Xiao Ying, and looked at Xiao Ying in fear, Xiao Ying pulled her and said, "Go!" Follow me! ”

Xiao Ying took the maid to her room and poured her a cup of hot tea!

The maidservant took the tea, took a sip, and her flustered heart calmed down temporarily!

Xiao Ying looked at her and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The maid looked at Xiao Ying timidly, and replied softly, "My name is Xia Ping!" ”

Xiao Ying refilled another cup of tea for her and continued to ask, "Xia Ping, let me ask you, are you and Xiaocui sisters?" ”

Xia Ping nodded and said, "Yes, I came here with Xiaocui, so in the entire Xilin Villa, I have the best relationship with Xiaocui!" ”

"Oh, that's the case, you must know very well why Xiaocui was killed?" Xiao Ying asked!

Xia Ping shook her head again and again and said, "No, no, no, I don't know, I just went there to burn some paper money for Xiaocui!" ”

Xiao Ying's face sank, and she said, "I heard everything you said when you burned the paper just now, if you don't tell the truth, I'll hand you over to Steward Tang now!" ”

"Don't, don't tell Steward Tang, they'll kill me!" Xia Ping said in a panic!

Xiao Ying softened her attitude and continued: "Don't be afraid, if you are really sisters with Xiao Cui, then tell me everything you know, so that I can help your sister avenge her grievances, if you continue to hide it, then your sister will really die in vain!" ”

Xia Ping lowered her head, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know if Sister Xiaocui's death has anything to do with this matter!" ”

Xiao Ying said: "Is there a relationship that we can only determine after we have checked, what do you say?" ”

Xia Ping slowly raised her head, looked at Xiao Ying and said: "That's the case, Xiaocui was Madame's maid before, Madame was very good to her, and often rewarded her with things, one morning not long ago, Xiaocui went to serve Madame to wash, and when she arrived at Mingyue Tower, she found that Madame was gone!" So I searched everywhere, but I didn't find it, Xiaocui went to Steward Tang, but Steward Tang said that Mrs. had something to go out, and Xiaocui didn't care at first, but after three days, Mrs. hadn't come back, so Xiaocui went to Steward Tang to ask, Steward Tang asked Xiaocui not to do much, but he didn't say where Mrs. went, Xiaocui wanted to go to the master, but the master was not in the house for a few days, and later

Xiaocui couldn't wait, so she went to report to the official! I have persuaded Xiaocui before, do not let her take care of this matter, Xiaocui said that Mrs. treats her well, must find the whereabouts of Mrs., and then the government came to investigate, the master just came back, after some investigation, only to learn that the young owner eloped with Mrs., and then Xiaocui was demoted to a maid by the Tang housekeeper, but even so, Xiaocui She still did not believe that Mrs. would elope with the young owner, she had told me before she died, she still had to sue, but within a few days, Xiaocui she died! ”

After listening to Xia Ping's words, Xiao Ying couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and suddenly felt that this Xiao Cui's death was even more suspicious!

Xiao Ying comforted Xia Ping and asked her to go back quietly, this night, Xiao Ying didn't feel sleepy anymore, the sky was bright, Xiao Ying went to find Di Renjie!

Li Yuanfang had just finished serving Di Renjie to wash and change clothes, Xiao Ying pushed the door in, and before she could salute, she hurriedly said, "Elder Ge, I have discovered!" ”

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were stunned, Di Renjie asked in astonishment: "Tell me quickly, what have you discovered?"

Xiao Ying told Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang about the events of last night, and after listening to Xiao Ying's narration, Di Renjie couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

Li Yuanfang opened his mouth and said: "Could it be that this Xiaocui was killed by the owner of Tang Zhuang because of this matter?" ”

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "This is unlikely, this motive is too far-fetched!" Even if Xiaocui went to the yamen to report the disappearance of his wife, he wouldn't die because of it? ”

Li Yuanfang said with some disdain: "It's not impossible, a rich gentleman like the owner of the Tang Zhuang is the most taboo to publicize the ugliness of the family, because Xiaocui filed a lawsuit, which led to the elopement between the owner's wife and the young owner, which is full of wind and rain in the city, everyone knows it, so how can the owner of the Tang village give up?" It's not impossible to kill people in anger, right? ”

Di Renjie shook his head slowly and said, "No, no, no, if the Tang Zhuang owner wants to kill Xiaocui, why wait until now?" Or when we were in his mansion, wouldn't it be safer for him to have Xiao Cui kidnapped at the beginning and kill him behind his back? ”

Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying nodded, Xiao Ying said with some loss: "Alas, it seems that I am excited in vain, this clue is useless?" ”

Di Renjie smiled slightly and said: "It's not completely useless, at least we know that Xiao Cui, who was the first to go to the yamen to file a complaint, is not the owner Tang Yinran!" ”

Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and they were puzzled in their hearts!
