Chapter 3: The Controversy in the Mourning Hall
Zhou Qingming sneered: "I interrogated this girl overnight, and when the eldest brother died, there were other people in the room besides her, and the corner of that person's clothes was embroidered with a pattern of green bamboo." Who in the Zhou family doesn't know that the second brother likes to embroider this pattern on his clothes the most. ”
"Third brother, how can you be suspicious of your second brother, he has been assisting Lord Fantai in his office affairs recently, and he hasn't been home for a few days. When the eldest brother died, this girl was present alone, do you believe her words? Could it be that the people of our Zhou Mansion are all blind? ”
"Second sister-in-law, this girl was tied up at the time, and a woman who can't move her hands and feet can kill? The office of Lord Fantai is not far from our house, maybe the second brother will come back in the middle of the night! ”
"Third child, you're crazy!" Tan Suyun was furious, "Judging from the situation at the scene, it was this girl who kicked the eldest brother to the ground, and it happened that the eldest brother's head fell on the copper spout." ”
"Second sister-in-law, do you think there will be such a coincidence? It's as if you saw it with your own eyes. ”
"Third brother, what is your intention to defend this girl everywhere and frame your second brother?"
Mrs. Zhou, who had been silent and seemed to be in great grief, suddenly slapped the table and looked at the two people arguing in front of her with angry eyebrows.
"Have you had enough trouble?"
Mrs. Zhou spoke, and Zhou Qingming and Tan Suyun immediately closed their mouths.
Mrs. Zhou sighed, "Although your eldest brother is not my own son, I treat him like my own son, and now that he has suffered this misfortune, you don't have any pain in your heart?" Still making noise before his spirit? ”
Zhou Qingming said in a low voice: "Mother, I am not doing this for the eldest brother, I want to give him justice." ”
"Third brother, I know you're doing it for your eldest brother's good, but you shouldn't be pulling your second brother? You and your second brother are both born to me, and you are my own brothers. ”
Tan Suyun said with a smile: "What my mother said is, how can the third child accuse his own brother? On the contrary, the eldest brother is his own brother. ”
Mrs. Zhou had a gloomy face, "Su Yun, you don't have to say a word, the second child is not at home, you are a woman who is pointing fingers at the affairs of the family, when I don't exist?" ”
Tan Suyun didn't dare to say anything more when she heard this.
Zhou Qingming was a little worried and asked, "Mother, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"This girl killed your eldest brother, the human and material evidence is there, and the whole house can see it clearly, so there is no need to alarm Lord Zhentai to interrogate it personally. The third child will only scream at Lord Tai, and then secretly execute this girl. ”
Mrs. Zhou seemed to have already thought of a plan, and said unhurriedly.
"Your eldest brother has a hard life, although he made contributions to the Zhou family when he was young, but later became a cripple, and he has done a lot of sins, and harmed many women, if this matter spreads, your eldest brother persecuted a woman and was killed, my Zhou family's face will not need to be wanted, and your eldest brother will be called sick to the outside."
Mrs. Zhou's words were understood by everyone present.
The eldest young master is not her biological son, the second young master and the third young master are biological, and she can't let her two biological sons start infighting for the sake of the eldest young master's affairs, so only by killing Sister Su can this matter be calmed down.
Zhou Qingming asked in a low voice, "Dad came back to ask about this matter......
"When the master asks, I will naturally have a way."
Sister Su was interrogated by the third young master Zhou Qingming for a whole night, suffered all kinds of torture, and was mentioned to Zhou Jinming to kowtow in front of the spirit early in the morning, at this moment she has completely collapsed, and her neck is torn like a break.
When she heard these ideas discussed by the Zhou family, she knew that she had become a victim of Mrs. Zhou's maintenance of the relationship between her two sons, and it was easy for the Zhou family to secretly get rid of herself, and she couldn't help but feel infinite hatred in her heart, but she couldn't help but think of her father and brother, and her heart was even more sad.
Sister Su tried her best to break free from the servant who was pressing her, crawled in front of Mrs. Zhou, and begged bitterly to distinguish herself.
"Mrs. Zhou, I really didn't kill the eldest young master, the third young master is right, there are other people who killed the eldest young master, I saw it with my own eyes, if I lie, I won't die well."
Mrs. Zhou shouted: "When death is coming, you have to quibble, slap your mouth!" ”
Fang just pressed Sister Su's two servants and walked over and slapped her more than ten times in a row, Sister Su only felt that her eyes were shining, her head was buzzing, and thick liquid was constantly gushing out of her nostrils and mouth, and she gradually lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was doused with a basin of cold water.
Sister Su is already being detained in a dark room in the Zhou Mansion at the moment.
There was a faint candle flame beating in the dark room, and next to the candle flame, Zhou Qingming, the third young master of the Zhou Mansion, was sitting on the side, as if he was quietly waiting for her to wake up.
Sister Su's dull eyes looked at Zhou Qingming in confusion, and the candle flame was gilded with a faint golden light on him.
For the first time, she saw Zhou Qingming's appearance, with a long face, long eyebrows and thin eyes, a high nose and a square mouth, less of a man's heroic spirit, and a little more feminine temperament.
Today in the mourning hall, Zhou Qingming has been trying to defend Sister Su, and Sister Su saw him looking at herself calmly at the moment, thinking that Zhou Qingming might be able to help herself, and she didn't feel a glimmer of hope
"Third Young Master, what I said to you last night is true, it is true that someone else killed the eldest young master, I can see it clearly, there is a green bamboo pattern on the corner of that person's clothes."
Zhou Qingming smiled softly: "I fully believe what you say." ”
Sister Su prostrate in front of Zhou Qingming, kept kowtowing, pinning the last shred of hope on Zhou Qingming's body, "Third Young Master, you have to make the decision for me, the death of the eldest young master is none of my business, please ask the third young master to make the decision for me." ”
"Madame has given the order, you must die." Zhou Qingming's smile and voice were full of helplessness, and he shook his head to indicate that he couldn't do anything.
Sister Su understood that she was going to die, and it was useless to say anything now, but she still couldn't rest assured of her family and made one last request.
"Third Young Master, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, but I still have a sick father and younger brother at home, I don't know what their condition is? Can the third young master help me go and see them? ”
"Sister Su, for the sake of your filial piety, although I can't save your life, you can tell me the whereabouts of your family, and I can arrange them for you."
As if grasping the last straw, Sister Su, who was already cornered, lay on the ground, kowtowing and saying: "Thank you, Third Young Master, my father's name is Su Dakui, my mother and my younger brother, and the three of them all live in the ruined temple in Vermilion Bird Lane. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you in the darkroom."
Zhou Qingming got up, smiled and said to the subordinates waiting for orders outside the darkroom: "Go to the broken temple in Suzaku Lane immediately and find Su Dakui's family of three." ”
"Yes!"
"Kill them all, leave no one, and don't leave any traces with your hands and feet."
