The maid who is responsible for serving the Liu family's life is called Zhu Er, she is the one who celebrated the Liu family after Xu Gongzi's death, and she is also the one who confesses the Liu family's hidden objects.

Zhu Er had been detained in the firewood room and waiting for the arrival of the official who had been taken into custody, but now she was inexplicably taken to the living room again, she felt a little strange in her heart, and she was also a little flustered.

"I've said everything that should be said, can't this save my life?"

When Zhu Er came to the living room with tears in her eyes, she happened to see the scene where Mrs. Xu personally helped Liu to her position, and her heart sank suddenly when she saw this, and suddenly felt that her plan was actually likely to fail.

Why didn't the plot follow the direction rehearsed at the beginning? Obviously, she had already made the hint so obvious, why did Madame still protect the Liu family, could it be that they had already seen that the hidden nail was not Liu's at all?

But this doesn't seem right, obviously the handkerchief she used to wrap the nails was embroidered by the Liu family herself, and almost everyone in the house knew that the Liu family had such a handkerchief, so how could they not suspect the Liu family?

When Zhu Er came to the living room with doubts, Wan Bingyu was explaining to the two people sitting on the table why he felt that Liu was not the murderer.

"Even if the second young lady is not pregnant, if she doesn't need to think about the child, I also think that the second young lady has no possibility of murdering Xu Gongzi at all. Don't forget, the second young lady is a woman who is not in good health, she can only thread needles and threads on weekdays, and she has never even done rough work, and she is even more reluctant to do anything to the little life on weekdays, right? ”

"Everyone, think about it, how can the second young lady have the strength to drive the nail into her skull, and how can she restrain the fear in her heart? After all, the one who died, but the husband she got along with day and night. ”

The Liu family doesn't even dare to hurt a bird on weekdays, how can he dare to do it to people?

After Wan Bingyu's words came out, almost everyone who heard her speak turned their hearts to Liu's side, and they began to talk about what Liu's had done in the Xu Mansion over the years, and finally unanimously felt that Liu's was not a murderer.

Just when everyone was talking about it, He Nianbing clearly saw that Zhu Er, who had just been brought to the living room by the servant, had a changed expression.

This little maid must have a ghost in her heart.

He Nianbing was born in the army, even if he came to the capital, he didn't learn the ability of others to talk around the corner, and when he saw that the goddess was different, he asked directly: "Do you have something to say?" ”

"I have!" The little maid raised her voice and said, "The night before Childe's body was discovered, Mrs. didn't know what happened, she suddenly argued with Childe, and then she also said ruthlessly that she wanted Childe to die. ”

Looking at the trembling appearance of the Liu family sitting in the position, Wan Bingyu's heart was biased to her side.

Both horizontally and vertically are Liu's, which looks more pleasing to the eye.

"Besides you, did anyone else hear what Xu Gongzi and his wife said?"

"No....... No, it's just me ........"

Wan Bingyu let out a meaningful sigh, and said to the maid with a smile on her face, "If you are the only one who hears it, and there is no evidence, then you are lying, don't we know it?" ”

Liu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wan Bingyu as if he saw hope.

"Mrs. Wan, I really didn't plot to kill my husband!"

Wan Bingyu smiled softly at her, and when she turned her face to face the little maid, her face had already changed: "I heard that there are many punishments in the Yamen, all of which are aimed at the kind of people who are willing to tell the truth after being arrested, and those punishments are much harsher than the boards used to serve as grammar in your house, I heard that one of them is called Playing the Pipa, whose name sounds elegant and actually .........."

"In fact, it can torture people to death."

Seeing that Wan Bingyu seemed to be unable to speak, He Nianbing tacitly opened his mouth and spoke: "This kind of punishment has to be carried out on the subordinate with a sharp knife, once the punishment begins, even if you can live, it is better to live than to die, I estimate that a little girl like you may not even be able to survive the first knife." ”

The little maid's face turned incomparably pale because of their tacit words.

Wan Bingyu knew that there was still some heat left, so he spoke again: "General Crane was born in the military, he will definitely not tell a lie, he said that the punishment is harsh, then it must be a harsh punishment, in the face of this kind of scene, little girl, do you still choose to hide it?" ”

Wan Bingyu's cold eyes glanced at the little maid.

That glance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the little maid finally couldn't hold back and wept bitterly.

"I said, I said it! Don't torture you! ”

The little maid looked at her mouth tightly, but in fact she was a very small person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, Wan Bingyu and He Nianbing said so much one after another, she couldn't stand it, and she cried while telling what happened.

It turned out that the murder weapon buried in the small courtyard was not known to the Liu family.

"Those blood-stained nails were asked by the young lady to wrap them in Madame's handkerchief and bury them in the small courtyard!"

Hearing her say such an unfamiliar name, Wan Bingyu was a little strange.

After coming to the Xu family's mansion for so long, the second young lady has seen it a few times, but she has never seen the eldest young lady, and she can't help but feel strange: "There is such a big thing in the house, did the eldest young lady come out to take a look?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Lord Xu and Mrs. Xu changed.

It turned out that the so-called eldest young lady was the wife of Lord Xu's eldest son, a few times earlier in the Lu family, Lord Xu and Mrs. Xu both felt very strange, why did the death of the second son involve the Lu family?

Lord Xu immediately shouted: "Don't you frame others indiscriminately because you were caught in the wrong place, the eldest young lady has been staying in her yard all these years, and she has not even gone out very often, how can she get rid of you hiding the murder weapon in the courtyard of the second young lady?" There is no grudge between her and my son! ”

The maid cried and shook her head and said, "The slave and maid don't know what the eldest young lady means, she came suddenly last night, and said that if I can help her, she will give me two silver taels when the matter is completed, and my deed of sale, and I will be free from now on...... I didn't resist the temptation, so I helped her! I can swear though, I really don't know what these nails are used for! ”

If she had known that these nails were the secret weapons used by the murderer to murder her son, she would have been a cow and a horse all her life, and she would not dare to agree to come down.

It's a pity that it's too late together.

Seeing the maid's ignorant appearance, everyone didn't think of getting some news from the murderer from her, and the plan for now was to find the Lu family to interrogate.

Lord Xu immediately ordered the housekeeper to go to the small courtyard to invite someone, but the housekeeper left for a while, and then returned to the living room alone.

He cried and reported with a sad face: "Master, the young lady is gone!" ”

She must have heard the wind in advance, so she absconded in fear of crime!

Where can Mrs. Xu endure this breath?

She immediately stood up, directly raised her hand and threw all the teacups in her hand to the floor: "If it's gone, hurry up and find it, even if this capital is turned over today, you must catch this slut back!" I want her to pay for my son's life! ”
