Chapter 366: Interrogation I
With a whip and a clamp between her legs, accompanied by the sound of clattering hooves, Lin Mei had been tossing back and forth on the horse's back for five or six days, but there was still no clue.
Just as she was about to enter Luoyang City on a horse that was also tired and almost exhausted, Steward Xu had been waiting for a long time.
"The eldest lady is back."
Lin Mei was surprised: "Why are you here, but something happened at home again?" ”
Steward Xu was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained his intentions: "It's the little master who has news, Young Master Luo ordered me to pick up the eldest lady here, and he has already brought someone to rescue the little master." ”
This is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Lin Mei was pleasantly surprised, "Where are the others, take me quickly." “
Under the leadership of Steward Xu, the two of them quickly drove towards Sweet Water Lane, going around and around, who would have thought that Zhou Ximei would hide Brother Huai under the noses of the Lin family these days.
Lin Mei saw that this was not next door to Lin Qing's house, and at this time she couldn't wait to slap herself, she was really careless.
I saw Luo Sicheng hugging Brother Huai, who was crying, gently stroking his head, and coaxing softly.
Zhou Ximei was also tied up and knelt on the ground, and the rarest Liu family was also present, Lin Mei did not doubt it, and she was truly relieved.
"Give Brother Huai to me."
Luo Sicheng was also worried about something, and when he saw her coming from the sky, he agreed immediately. But looking at the moist corners of her eyes, she hurriedly comforted: "Brother Huai is just frightened, the person is fine, I have already checked ......"
The warm embrace, the soft language, and the familiar breath made the young Brother Huai's mood gradually calm down, and after recognizing the person in front of him, he stopped crying, pursed his mouth, and said with a look of grievance: "Mother...... Fight the bad guys. ”
Lin Mei's heart was pounding, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said excitedly: "Okay, my mother beats the bad guys." ”
Liu Shi was so frightened that he saw that the main lord had come, and roared urgently: "Meizi, you see that I have nothing to do here, the family is still busy, so I will go back first." ”
Before he finished speaking, his legs were already moving towards the door.
Luo Sicheng sneered and stopped the person: "Why is the lobby sister-in-law so anxious, Brother Huai has been found now, and you can be regarded as making up for it, so it is better to go back to the Lin Mansion with you to drink a cup of hot tea." ”
Lin Mei's heart sank, what does it mean to make up for it?
Could it be that she is also involved?
When she raised her eyes, she found a trace of horror in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law still goes back with me, if you have anything to say, make it clear in front of my father."
In Lin Mei's smiling gaze, the sincerely frightened Liu family had lost the courage to refuse.
As for Zhou Ximei, she was held up like a chick by the nighthawk, and when she saw that her mouth was blocked, she didn't stop, and she slapped it to the back of the head, resisting it on her shoulder like handling prey.
……
Lin House.
The perpetrator in the front hall, Zhou Ximei, had not woken up yet, Bai Cui looked at the dirty people, and was unwilling: "Mrs. said that she just missed the fourth lady, the slave maid is just the body of her daughter, and the slave maid doesn't know that she wants to murder the eldest lady and the little young master, and the slave and maid are wronged!" ”
"Wronged? What about the silver and title deeds found under your bedbed? Phew, don't say it's from the shopkeeper Tong, we have already written to ask the shopkeeper Tong, and he doesn't know about the silver and the title deed. Even if you and your man's monthly routine, don't want to buy such a field in this life. ”
After Sixi finished speaking, he put a package on the table, more than a dozen kinds of jewelry, not much broken silver, and the miscellaneous things added up to fifty or sixty taels, took out a title deed from it and handed it over.
Lin Mei swept away nearly 100 acres of medium-sized fertile land at a glance, and the location was in Wuxiang County, which was not a thousand taels of silver, so she wanted to buy it.
"Are you going to tell you about this now? Or will I hand you and your wife over to the yamen for interrogation? Master Lin said with a grim face.
If it weren't for Si Xigang's sentence that he had already asked the shopkeeper Tong, maybe Bai Cui would still be able to push his father-in-law's head. But now that the shopkeeper Tong has shown that he doesn't know, what reason can he have to explain that the source of these things is the most reasonable.
Bai Cui, who was already weak-hearted, really couldn't find a more reasonable reason, so he had to recruit from the truth.
The jewelry was rewarded by Zhou Ximei back then, and in addition to the reward that Miss Four received to make Miss Four happy, some of the silver was the reward for Zhou Ximei's work for the second time. The money for buying fertile land was a few years ago, and Tong Dayou helped Zhou Ximei to get dividends from usury.
"The Zhou family plotted to kill the Lin family, did you participate?"
"No, there really isn't, even if you borrow ten dog guts from the slave maid, the slave and the maid don't dare!"
Who can hide the selfish calculation of the master, who can guarantee that what she said is true?
Luo Sicheng frowned and said: "It's too real to be fake, and it's not too fake, it's better to wake up Zhou, and the two of them will confront each other." ”
When Master Liu heard this, this method was good, and he didn't pretend to be a person, and directly poured a bucket of water on her body. Seeing her wake up, he twisted her collar and asked through gritted teeth, "Who instructed you to do it, and what good is it for you to murder the Lin family?" ”
Zhou Ximei, who was awakened by a bucket of cold water without warning, was stunned for a moment, laughed wildly and said nothing, looking fearless.
Daddy Lin roared loudly and scolded sharply, but there was no deterrent at all, so he felt extremely angry, and the eyes that looked at her were as indifferent and a little fierce as an eagle vulture looking down on a chicken.
Lin Mei knew that she was trying to provoke Daddy Lin, and seeing that Daddy Lin's hands were about to break her neck, she persuaded: "Daddy's men are merciful, and after the interrogation is over, it's not too late to kill." ”
The hand on her neck slowly relaxed, Zhou Ximei collapsed on the ground with weak limbs, coughed uncomfortably with her hands on her throat, and thought about what he had just said, and sneered: "You ask me why I did this?!" Who caused my mother and son to be separated, and who caused Dabao to die in battle, and his bones were ......."
"It's all your own fault." Daddy Lin suddenly interrupted her.
Unexpectedly, sending her to the temple didn't make her figure it out, but only aggravated her resentment.
It would obviously be unwise to argue with her about this at this time.
Lin Mei looked at her calmly, a little careless like pinching an ant to death, and didn't want to argue with her anymore: "It's the kindness of my Lin family that you violated the law of the country and didn't let you go to prison, you can come at me if you have a grudge, but you shouldn't touch my family." Also, who told you that Dabao fought to the death? ”
"Dabao is gone, are you going to do something to Xiaobao next? Where do you keep the little treasure? Don't think I don't know what that little black heart in your belly is counting all day. Hate me for being defenseless, or I will avenge my son. ”
At this moment, although Zhou Ximei is embarrassed, she is still sharp-toothed, which is very different from the gentle and gentle life-saving benefactor back then. Father Lin was so angry that he fell back to his heart, originally thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, and giving birth to a child for the Lin family, and planned to wait for Lin Mei to get married, and then secretly take her out of the temple, and even took care of the house where she was placed, but she didn't expect her to become so complaining, even femme fatale.
"It's changed, it's changed, you're just a magic barrier, tomorrow Xiaobao will come back, and he will explain it to you himself. Now in your eyes, the Lin family is all enemies who want to murder you and your son. Daddy Lin's face was pale.
Zhou Ximei was stunned, Xiaobao will come back tomorrow? Could it be that Mrs. Xiao is mistaken?
No, how could Mrs. Xiao be mistaken, it must be some kind of trick that his father and daughter are playing, Xiaobao is young and ignorant, and he is the easiest to coax.
At this moment, the night hawk who was originally guarding the door of the hall suddenly broke in: "Master, the uncle is back!" ”
