Chapter 559: Bedside Dagger
559
Bai Chunhuan's brows were tightly locked, his head wind attack had another attack, and he couldn't sleep because of the pain.
This is the most difficult case he has encountered since taking office.
If you don't solve the case, you can't solve the case, but the one who was assassinated was the county lord's companion, and if you can't solve the case, you can't explain it to the county lord. can't explain to the county lord, that is naturally not to explain to the queen, except to show that he, Jing Zhaoyin, is incompetent, nothing else can be reflected.
But if the case is solved, all the killers will be dead, and there will be no one left alive. Second, even if you follow the existing clues, I am afraid that you will offend some powerful people.
Can the person who dares to assassinate the county lord's companion be small? What's more, everyone tacitly knows who it is.
Not to mention how Lord Bai was embarrassed, Xu Guolao was even more furious because of this incident.
"A bunch of rubbish! Five thousand taels of silver to do a stupid thing, don't you have any brains? Elder Xu reprimanded the two housekeepers of the Xu Mansion: "You can't even kill a girl, what kind of master is it?!" ”
"Don't you know, Wei Yining is really skilled, not to mention killing Zhong Manlang halfway." The butler explained, "Don't say that those ten people are no match for him even if they add twenty more." I think that he killed the tiger with a stick, and he can subdue Crazy Horse with one hand, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has the courage to be invincible! ”
"Fart! Darn! Xu Guolao was completely angry, and threw the teacup directly in the face of the second butler: "What else will you do besides growing up others to destroy your own prestige?!" Tell you two fools, keep me trying to find a way, if that girl doesn't die, you'll die! ”
The two housekeepers were scolded, and the second housekeeper was also splashed with hot tea on his face, although it was not burned, but it was really uncomfortable.
Xu Zhixi's uncle hurriedly came in to persuade him, but Xu Guolao was still indignant.
"Dad, according to me, let's stop first, when the limelight is over, the girl returns to the palace, and naturally her sister will deal with her, and she will take revenge on Zhixi after all." Xu Jingyue said: "The eldest brother is now at the border, and there is Concubine Zeng Li in the harem, so we must also beware of someone taking advantage of the fire to rob us." ”
"Hmph, do you think there are fewer people who fall into the well? Now everyone is looking at our Xu family's momentum is not as good as before, what kind of face has become one by one? ! Xu Guo coughed angrily and said: "Let's just talk about the Guan family, I am kind enough to protect the media for them, it is obviously a good family affair that is right for the family, if it is changed in the past, their family dares to say half a word?!" and he who is sure to rejoice shall go down. But what now? I didn't agree! If we blindly forbear, I don't know what will happen to these dogs when they look down on people. You have to let them know that if you mess with our Xu family, it won't end well! ”
Xu Jingyue knew that his father had a tough temper and didn't like to listen to persuasion the most, not to mention that there was a reason for it, and it would be useless to say more, so he didn't persuade him.
"Father's anger is relieved, I'll go find some powerful people and find a way to get rid of that girl."
"That's human words." Xu Guo's old anger calmed down a little: "Go down and do it!" I don't want that stinky girl to celebrate the New Year. ”
Xu Zhixi has not been buried yet, because Xu Guolao must kill Wei Yining to pay tribute to his granddaughter, and then let her be buried in peace.
Xu Zhixi's coffin was parked in her own courtyard, and every day there were senior monks, together with the people who wore linen and wore filial piety to cry and mourn the spirit.
Lu Shi was still sick, and her heartfelt heart made her cry day and night, and everyone was thin and out of shape.
On this day, Lu Shi woke up in a nightmare again, in which Xu Zhixi was strangled by someone's neck, desperately reaching out and scratching, as if asking her for help.
Lu Shi only felt that his throat was blocked by ten thousand arrows, and he sat up and cried bitterly while holding his chest.
The maid who accompanied her also woke up and hurriedly put on her clothes.
"Madame has nightmares again, huh? I'll serve you ginseng soup. The maid put down the candle and prepared to go out.
Seeing that there was actually a dagger stuck in Lu's bedside, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright.
"Who did this?" Lu Shi was also frightened after seeing it.
The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly went out to call someone, and when there were more people, she naturally became more courageous, and several people came forward to take a closer look, and the dagger was nailed into the head of the bed so deep that there was no handle, and there was a letter stuck in it.
But the room was full of women, and they didn't have enough strength to pull out their daggers.
So after dawn, the maid hurriedly went to tell the second master.
Xu Jingyue was also at a loss, because he also had a dagger inserted at the head of his bed last night, and a letter was also inserted.
Yesterday he rested in the concubine's room, and when he got up in the morning and saw the dagger, the concubine was paralyzed with fright.
Xu Guolao was not spared, he was shocked and frightened, and his condition worsened.
Three daggers and three letters, the contents of which are exactly the same: If she loses a hair, I will take your life.
As for who "she" is, the Xu family knows it.
"How can this be true? It's the other way around! Xu Guolao was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and panted and said, "Are those family members who are keeping vigil outside dead?!" The big living people barged in, but no one noticed. ”
None of the subordinates spoke, and it was unreasonable for Xu Guolao to scold him. Not to mention that people didn't notice it, didn't the masters who slept in the bed also didn't notice it?
However, if you are angry, you will be angry, and Xu Guolao is still afraid.
It was so easy to stick a dagger into the head of the bed so unnoticed, and to get their heads out of the box.
Of course, he wanted Wei Yining to die, but if he wanted to take his own life, he would be a little impossible.
Because of this incident, the Lu family became more and more convinced that Wei Yining was insidious and vicious.
"Originally, I thought it was impossible for her little girl to kill Zhixi, but now it seems that her Taoism is really not shallow." Lu Shi hated: "If such a scourge is not eliminated, I don't know how many people will be killed in the future." ”
"Madam, Eunuch Ding is here." The maid reported.
"Please come in," Lu Shi hurriedly said, "I have something to say." ”
Ding Neijian served Xu Guifei's order to come to visit, and when he saw the Lu family, he hurriedly asked for peace and said: "Madame is really haggard, and the concubine Niangniang also washes her face with tears all day long in the palace, and she really misses Miss." ”
Lu Shi couldn't help crying when he heard this, and finally put away his tears and said: "You go back and tell your mother not to be too sad, the person is dead, no matter what, she can't come back, and she still has to go in the future, besides, the Xu family relies on the concubine, and we can only get better if she is well." ”
"Madame is really knowledgeable," Ding Neijian praised: "With your words, the concubine's mood must be a lot more relieved." ”
"I don't have any other requirements, I just ask the concubine to find an opportunity to get rid of that Wei Yining in the future, even if it is revenge." Lu's Road.
"Don't worry, madam, we'll do the same without your orders." Ding's voice was neither yin nor yang, and his harmful words were particularly gloomy.
But it sounds very beautiful to Lu's ears.
