Chapter 246: Arrested
It turned out that Fang Mengru went out to do errands, and happened to see two subordinates at the back door of Liu's mansion carrying out a corpse wrapped in a broken straw mat.
Fang Mengru originally thought that it was just a big family in the high-ranking family to clean up those dirty things, she was about to leave with disdain, but she inadvertently saw the two little girls who carried people followed by a girl ring who was crying pear blossoms and rain, and that girl ring Fang Mengru happened to have some impressions.
- I remember that when Lin Yingxue took her to Liu's house to find Yangchun, it was this girl ring who came out to report, and now this girl is crying so sadly, could it be that the person who died is ......
Thinking that Lin Yingxue and Yangchun had a 'great relationship', Fang Mengru followed the two little guys all the way to the mass grave.
The mass grave was gloomy, and the two little guys threw people into the mass grave and left. Fang Mengru waited for someone to go up and check, the corpse wrapped under the mat was not Yangchun, who else could it be?
Fang Mengru was taken aback at the moment, and hurriedly came to Liu's house to tell Lin Yingxue about it.
After listening to Fang Mengru's explanation of the ins and outs, Lin Yingxue only felt as if her brain had been hit hard by something, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses and hurriedly began to rummage in the house.
Looking at Lin Yingxue's anxious face, Fang Mengru was a little puzzled, "Yingxue, what are you looking for?" ”
However, Lin Yingxue didn't answer, just looked down on herself, and it wasn't until she found the envelope that said 'Lin Gongzi personally opened' that Lin Yingxue quieted down.
As if it was a little heavy, Lin Yingxue looked at the letter and took a deep breath before slowly opening the letter.
Looking at Lin Yingxue's face that slowly became gloomy, the doubts in Fang Mengru's heart became even worse, "Yingxue, what's wrong?" ”
"You'll know when you see it." Lin Yingxue sat down a little dejected after handing the letter to Fang Mengru, "As early as half a month ago, Yangchun may have found out that she was in danger, she wrote to me, saying that she had something urgent to tell me. ”
"But at that time, Ah Bao and Di'er had just been killed, and all I wanted was to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge Di'er and Ah Bao, and I didn't even read the letter sent by Yangchun...... If I had read this letter at the time, Yangchun might not have died......"
Lin Yingxue's face was full of guilt and self-blame.
After Fang Mengru read the letter that was almost a cry for help, her mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy, but she still patiently walked to Lin Yingxue's side and comforted softly: "It's none of your business, if you really talk about it, it can only be said that it is a creation to make people, Yangchun she may be ...... Maybe it's fate that you can't escape this catastrophe, so don't take it too seriously. ”
"If you really feel that you can't go in your heart, then you have to cheer up even more, find out the cause of Yangchun's death, and don't let her die in vain."
Fang Mengru pulled Lin Yingxue's hand over, and it was cold in her hand, she couldn't help frowning, and clenched Lin Yingxue's hand harder.
After Lin Yingxue learned that it was possible that her carelessness killed Yangchun, she immediately called Miaoqin to come in and dress her up, and then she hurriedly headed towards Liu's mansion.
"You're looking for Hong'er?" The guards guarding the door glanced at Lin Yingxue up and down, with caution in their eyes, "Who are you Hong'er, what are you looking for her?" ”
"It's Hong'er's friend below, and I want to find her a little private matter, and I hope that the little brother will help inform her." Lin Yingxue arched her hand and quietly stuffed a piece of silver into the past, but the usual tricks of a hundred spirits lost their effect today.
- The guard hesitated for a moment, and took two steps back with a straight face.
"There have been a lot of affairs in the house recently, Hong'er is afraid that there will be no time to come out, if your Excellency has anything, tell me directly, and I will naturally convey it to Hong'er." The guard said with a blank face.
Lin Yingxue was slightly surprised by the guard's reaction, but she still said quietly: "That's it, then thank you little brother, it's not a big deal, I'll come back next time." ”
With that, Lin Yingxue retreated and left the guard's sight.
"Leng Yue, you go in and bring Hong'er out." Lin Yingxue stood in the dark and commanded Leng Yue on the side.
"Yes." Leng Yue replied, and then disappeared in place with a dodge.
Lin Yingxue waited in place for a while, and Leng Yue came out with Hong'er.
"Lin Gongzi." Hong'er's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Lin Yingxue, "Lin Gongzi, why are you only here now, Miss Yangchun, she has already ......"
Hong'er's voice gradually began to choke, and there was some resentment in her words.
Lin Yingxue was originally guilty of Yangchun's death, and when Hong'er cried like this at this time, her mood couldn't help but become heavy, "It's me who came late, you tell me how your young lady died?" Why don't the people of the Liu family let you see outsiders now? ”
"Miss Yangchun, she was killed!" Speaking of business, Hong'er wiped her tears and gritted her teeth and said: "At that time, the slave maid was not by the side of the Yangchun girl, and the people of the Liu family said to the outside world that the Yangchun girl couldn't think about it so she committed suicide, but when the slave saw the body of the Yangchun girl, the girl's whole face was blackened, and it looked like she had been poisoned!" ”
"The people of the Liu family also said that the girl was a person from such a place, and it was not appropriate to make a noise about suicide, so they wrapped a mat and threw people in the mass grave......" Hong'er said here and cried sadly.
Lin Yingxue didn't care about comforting, and hurriedly asked, "Did you leave anything behind when Chun'er died, or was there anything wrong?" ”
Yangchun once told her that she was looking for the eyeliner that Liu Pavilion had placed next to Liu Zhen, and Liu Zhen also knew about it, but now Liu Zhen killed Yangchun so quickly.
This can only show two points, one is that Liu Zhen wants to get rid of the connection with Xunliu Pavilion, and the other is that Yangchun discovered the secret that Liu Zhen can't see the light, and Liu Zhen had no choice but to risk offending Xunliu Pavilion to dispose of Yangchun...... Lin Yingxue must find out what Yangchun died for, so that Yangchun's death will not be meaningless.
"Anomaly?" Hong'er sniffed and thought for a while before saying: "If you really want to talk about it, Miss Yangchun is really strange during this time, she has always been very nervous in the past half a month, and even a little bit of a rumor, such as someone entering her room in the middle of the night, or the master suddenly summons her, Miss Yangchun will show a very scared look." ”
"The slave maid also once asked the Yangchun girl what she was afraid of, but the Yangchun girl said that she couldn't say it, if she did, she would kill the slave and maid, so the slave didn't know anything."
The clue is broken.
After listening to Hong'er's words, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel sorry, she pondered for a while before she said, "Did Chun'er explain anything to you before she died, or left anything behind?" ”
Lin Yingxue looked at Hong'er with anticipation, but Hong'er shook her head, "No, after the death of Miss Yangchun, the Liu family turned over all the things in the girl's room, threw and fell, and there was almost nothing left......"
"Is it......" The little hope that had just risen in Lin Yingxue's heart was extinguished again because of Hong'er's words.
"But the slave left this!" When Lin Yingxue was lost, Hong'er seemed to remember something, and took out something from her arms and said: "This is a bracelet given to the girl by Lin Gongzi, the girl wore it every day when she was alive, and she never left her hand even when she was bathing." ”
"When those people took the girl out, the slave quietly took the bracelet off the girl's hand, in order to leave a thought, now this bracelet will be given to the son, and it can be regarded as returning to the original owner."
Hong'er handed the string of pink beads to Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue reached out and took it, picked it up and looked at it, I don't know if it was because Yangchun wore it every day and never took it off, or because of the death of the owner, one of the beads had lost its luster, and it was placed in the sun, and the halo could no longer be seen circulating in it.
"This is Chun'er's relic, I'll keep it well." Although she didn't get the clue she wanted, Lin Yingxue still cherished the string of beads on her wrist.
After returning home with a heavy heart, Murong Jun had been waiting for Lin Yingxue at home for a long time.
"Why is your face so bad, what's wrong?" Murong Jun saw Lin Yingxue's dejected appearance, and his ink-colored eyes couldn't help but float with worry that he couldn't hide.
"Yangchun is dead." Lin Yingxue didn't want to say more, and after casually mentioning it, she said, "Is there something wrong with Your Highness coming here today?" ”
"Hmm." Murong Jun saw that Lin Yingxue didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask, but changed his mouth and said: "Those Bai people have been arrested, and my father should issue an order to deal with them in the near future." ”
"Really?" Hearing Murong Jun mention the Bai people, Lin Yingxue was a little interested, "They have already done it?" "Otherwise, there is no reason for the court to arrest people.
"Well, they have instigated some of the leaders of other small tribes to put pressure on their father, and they are intent on controlling our generals to speak for them. The father and emperor planned to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, so these Bai people would definitely not be able to get out of this imperial city alive, and this could be regarded as the end they deserved. ”
Murong Jun touched Lin Yingxue's head with tenderness in his eyes, it was obvious that the reason why the emperor was so angry was that Murong Jun also had a role in fueling the trouble.
"Hmph, this group of people has bad intentions, even Ling Chi is not an exaggeration......," Lin Yingxue was saying, but suddenly there was a dense pain in her body, as if something with thorns was swimming around her body.
"What's going on?" Murong Jun saw Lin Yingxue's face change abruptly, and hurriedly rushed up to check Lin Yingxue's situation, but he released a wisp of internal force to swim around Lin Yingxue's body, but he couldn't find any abnormality.
"I ...... too I don't know ......" Lin Yingxue fell into Murong Jun's arms, looking pained.
"Someone! Go get a doctor! Murong Jun's face was gloomy and frightening, and the subordinates outside the door didn't dare to delay at all when they heard this, and almost ran out to ask for a doctor.
And when the subordinate went out to ask for a doctor, a man dressed as a guard also hurriedly ran over, "Your Highness, the Bai people in the prison ask to see Your Highness, and let the prison guard bring a message to Your Highness, if Your Highness doesn't want to watch the five girls being tortured to death, please ask Your Highness to take the five girls to see them in the prison as soon as possible." ”
