218 The murderer was Xia Jian
Hua Xian rolled his eyes at him, he didn't plan to let him come, but he had to come to eat and drink.
Hua Xian saw Lan Yuexi coming, and immediately shouted: "Lan Yuexi, it's time to eat."
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat, I'll go rest first"
asked Wu Zhongguo for the location of the room, and Lan Yuexi left.
In the room, Lan Yuexi looked at the starry sky outside the window in a daze.
Xia Wanwan reminded her of Lian Folding Clothes, and she didn't know how this little girl was now, she went to be a mercenary without hesitation, but there was no news until now, and so did Chi Yuwei, three years, and I don't know if Dongyu's construction is better, especially, grandpa, thinking of this, Lan Yuexi has a headache.
If only Mo Yifeng was here.
Sleepless all night, early the next morning.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wu Zhongguo standing in the courtyard waiting: "Lord Lan, that person has been found"
"Oh? What about people?"
"I've been arrested, and I'm in the lobby, just waiting for Lord Lan to ask"
"Then let's go"
In the lobby, a woman knelt on the ground cautiously, and after seeing Lan Yuexi and Wu Zhongguo coming, she lowered her head.
"You're Cui?" Lan Yuexi looked at the woman on the ground, this person was the maid who proved that Steward Xia did not go out.
"Yes," Cui whispered, not understanding why a woman had come to judge her.
"You are so bold that you dare to deceive the Supervision Division!" Lan Yuexi's sudden reprimand, not only Xiao Cui, but even Wu Zhongguo was taken aback.
"The girl was wronged, when did I deceive" Xiao Cui's eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at Lan Yuexi's eyes at all.
"Dare you say no! I have asked all the people in the house yesterday, and there is a small guy who accidentally saw Xia Jian go out of the room, you actually dare to guarantee that Steward Xia did not go out, is it not a deception? Come on, the punishment is waiting"
"Wronged, my lord" At this time, she was no longer called a girl, and Xiaocui also saw Lan Yuexi's status: "I said, I said, it was Steward Xia who asked me to do this, saying that I was asked to prove that he didn't go out and gave me a large sum of silver, and let me go far away."
Who knew that the money was caught before it could be spent.
Wu Zhongguo also read everyone's confession yesterday, and he whispered in Lan Yuexi's ear: "How come I didn't know that someone had seen Steward Xia go out"
"Fry her" Lan Yuexi spit out three words flatly.
Wu Zhongguo: "....."
But obviously, it worked.
"As long as you tell the truth, you can still make up for it, otherwise..."
"Yes, yes, I said, it was Steward Xia who instructed me to do this, and he did go out that night"
"Where did you go? What have you done?"
"It seems like I went to the kitchen, and I really don't know what to do, my lord, that's all I know."
"Then do you know what style of clothes he usually likes to wear," Lan Yuexi pondered.
"It seems to be a new product in the city, and the housekeeper loves to be clean, so the clothes are all the best products from the tailor shops in the city"
"What color does he usually wear?"
Xiao Cui thought for a while: "Blue is the majority"
Blue?
Lan Yuexi waved her hand: "Let it go"
"Thank you, thank you, my lord" Xiao Cui kowtowed several times and then immediately got up and left, not daring to stay longer.
Looking at the figure of Xiao Cui leaving, Wu Zhongguo frowned: "Lord Lan, just let him go"
"Otherwise, does Lord Wu want to keep her here to finish eating?"
"Uh.... I mean, she's a very important witness, and she just let it go, isn't that..."
"It's okay, let's go, go to Xia Mansion"
Called Hua Xian and Tan Yi, it didn't take long for several people to come to Xia Mansion.
At this time, Xia Jian and Xia Lingan were having breakfast, and when they saw Lan Yuexi and a few people, Xia Jian immediately got up: "Why did you come so early, I don't know if there is something important."
Lan Yuexi looked at him with a smile: "It's okay, Steward Xia will eat first, I'll just bring someone to search for things."
As he spoke, the guards behind him scattered and fumbled around.
"Be careful, don't break things, put everything back in place where you have found" Lan Yuexi came to the table after giving the order.
"Xia Gongzi still loves tea"
"It's just such a little hobby, if Miss Lan wants to drink, Xia can send some"
"That's not necessary, it's difficult for a gentleman not to be strong, you are such a treasure, wouldn't it be a waste to give it to me" Lan Yuexi shook his hand.
"It is difficult for a gentleman not to be strong, Lord Lan is really extraordinary, I have heard that Wen Ziqing, who has never accepted apprentices, has accepted a female apprentice for the first time, and now that it is open, Dean Wen not only has excellent elixir medical skills, but also knows a lot more than ordinary people" Xia Lingan looked at Lan Yuexi carefully.
"Mr. Xia is overrated, I ....."
"My lord, I've found it," a guard took a piece of clothing and handed it to Lan Yuexi.
The clothes are blue, and the fabric on it, Lan Yuexi rubbed it lightly, and knew that the fabric in Xia Wanwan's hand came from the same place, and there was a piece missing from the edge of the clothes, and the shape was similar to that piece of cloth.
Xia Jian showed a surprised expression when she saw her clothes, but Xia Lingan was calm and continued to eat breakfast.
"Where did I find this?"
"Lord Hui, I found it in Steward Xia's bedroom, it was hidden deeply, and there was this thing in the clothes" The guard handed a powder bag to Lan Yuexi.
Lan Yuexi took it and opened it and sniffed it: "Song Grass? Steward Xia, what do you have to say?"
"It's not mine" Xia Jian went from surprise at first, and then turned into blandness.
"Not yours? Everything was found in your yard, don't you know? ”
Xia Jian didn't speak.
"But there are many people who have proved that you have secretly sent things to Xia Wanwan, and some time ago Xia Wanwan was sold to a brothel by Director Xia, you don't know any of this?"
Xia Jian still didn't speak.
"Xia Jian!" Wu Zhongguo next to him couldn't help it: "You entered the Xia Mansion at the age of eight, and now it's been more than 20 years, don't you know how Director Xia treats you?" How can you do that, just for, for the sake of a woman, you kill both of them? You're really, you're not as good as a brute."
"Someone, take him away" Wu Zhongguo beckoned helplessly.
He always thought that the murderer was Xia Wanwan, but he didn't expect that it was actually Steward Xia.
After Xia Jian was taken away, Wu Zhongguo looked at Xia Ling'an: "Young Master Xia, please mourn, hey"
Xia Lingan was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "Be nice to him, don't go too far"
"Xia Gongzi, it's all like this, you still help him speak, this is a wolf who can't be fed, if you want me to see it, you will have all kinds of punishments"
"After all, after so many years, who can say for sure about feelings, there is Lord Lao Wu."
"Hey, since Xia Gongzi has said so, I naturally can't say anything more" Wu Zhongguo sighed.
