Feng Xiao was useless all night, and felt very unhappy.

Hearing that Zou was going to tell a story, he first poured tea for Xu Qinghuan and Chang Niangzi, and then brought a bowl of tea himself, set up a small stove with ease, and began to roast soybeans on it.

After preparing together, Feng Xiao nodded to Zou and signaled that Zou could speak.

When Zou saw Feng Xiao's approach, he forgot to sing in shock, and when he was stunned, he only felt a cold on his buttocks, and the wet things were pasted, followed by heart-rending pain.

"Oh my god, this is salt for me."

Zou began to struggle after shouting, but at this moment, he only heard a "pop" sound, and his ass was slapped by someone.

Chang Niangzi said coldly: "This medicinal herb is used to stop bleeding, if you get it down, I will kill you." ”

Feng Xiao bit the soybeans crisply, and said with a smile: "She's right, she has touched the most corpses, and there was another one a few days ago, her stomach was so big, and the water on the corpse was dripping." ”

Zou covered his mouth, afraid that the overnight meal would spit out.

After tossing for a long time, it's finally good.

Zou looked at the calm little girl: "Miss Xu, I've recruited everything." ”

Sun Chong listened to it thrilling outside, how did he feel that the people around Miss Xu were getting weirder and weirder, and he liked this strange smell quite a lot.

He cautiously glanced at Song Chengxuan not far away.

Seeing that Song Chengxuan's face did not change, and he was drinking tea calmly, Sun Chong suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little unproductive.

Zou stopped singing, like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, and said everything he knew: "When the Cui family moved to help, I looked at the Cui family from a distance, Cui's appearance is not mediocre, nor is it the delicate color of Mrs. Guangping Hou now, the most important thing is that Cui's feet are very big, I carefully compared, a few points bigger than mine, and after I went home, I told it as a joke to my family, whether I lied, as long as I inquired to know."

A few years ago, I made a pair of embroidered shoes for Cui's, I wanted to please her, but I didn't expect the past to be much worse, Cui's mother next to me thought I was clumsy, I was scolded and unconvinced, so I counted a few words of Cui's in the garden, but I didn't expect to be heard by the second master, this time the second master invited me to eight achievements because of that sentence. ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "Can you be sure?" ”

Zou said: "Yes, this can't be wrong, if it weren't for this, why would someone come to kill me tonight, it's not that I'm afraid that I will expose Cui's." ”

When Zou said this, he heard someone outside: "Where is my aunt?" ”

A trace of fear appeared on Zou's face, and Chang Niangzi put a quilt on Zou's body, and then said, "Don't be afraid, you can't die." ”

The eerie voice calmed Zou a lot.

Sun Chong coughed.

Xu Qinghuan said: "The medicine has been prepared, and you can come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Mrs. Guangping Hou walked in, followed by Mrs. Zhao Muwei and Second Master Zhao.

"The murderer is coming." Zou still shouted angrily, and grabbed Chang Niangzi's hand tightly.

Mrs. Guangping Hou looked very calm: "Whose family is this?" ”

Yu's mother said: "It should be out of five suits, I came to the house to play the autumn breeze, and I sent it away with fifty taels of silver, this time I don't know why I am here." ”

Zou looked at Second Master Zhao: "My Second Master, you have to say something, my aunt lost half of your life for you, you can't pretend to be nothing." ”

"I invited it," Second Master Zhao took out the hairpin from his arms, "Does Mother remember this hairpin?" It's a lost item in the house, and I don't want to find it. ”

Yu's mother's face suddenly changed after seeing it.

Mrs. Guangping Hou was still unfazed: "You caught the thief who stole it?" ”

"Yes," Second Master Zhao stared at his mother, "No wonder the government always can't solve the case, it turns out that this thief is by my mother's side...... Isn't it, Mother Yu? ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou frowned and looked at Yu's mother: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Yu's mother pursed her mouth: "The slave doesn't know what the second master means." ”

Zhao Erye said: "That night, you avoided people and quietly went out of the house, I followed you all the way to Zhuangzi, and saw you bury things there, and I dug up the things after you left."

I also know that I won't admit it happily, but to be able to go out quietly, I must open a few locks in the house, for the safety of the inner house, only the two housekeepers trusted by my grandmother have the key in their hands, where did Yu's mother's key come from? If you accompany your mother to Beijing, you will definitely have those important things with you, and you just need to search your house and there will be results. ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou finally had a little surprise on her face, and she looked at Yu's mother: "What the second master said is true?" ”

Yu's mother had a somewhat flustered look on her face, and her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground: "Madam, the old slave was confused for a while, so he ...... I just took something......"

"What are you doing with those things?" Xu Qinghuan suddenly spoke.

Yu's mother said: "I am naturally ......"

"You have no children, no daughters, no vices, you have served by your wife's side for a long time, even if you have to go home one day to support your wife, you will not be bad, why should you take the risk? What's more, why should the things that were finally taken out be buried on the wife's dowry Zhuangzi? ”

Yu's mother said: "I am lonely and have nowhere to hide. ”

Xu Qinghuan continued: "You have nowhere to hide, and you will definitely hide somewhere, it can be seen that you think Mrs. Zhuangzi is very proper, is Mrs. Guangping Marquis really not aware of this?" ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou looked at it sharply: "What does Miss Xu mean by this?" ”

Xu Qinghuan's expression was natural: "I'm just inferring the facts of the case, don't blame Madam, no matter what case it is, the inference must be reasonable, otherwise it will be wronged, Second Master Zhao asked me to help, I naturally can't slack off." ”

Second Master Zhao nodded and continued: "That's right, I invited Miss Xu," Speaking of this, he swallowed hard, remembering all the things of the Cui family over the years, he was a little unbearable, but since he was determined to protect this family, he couldn't back down, "I have the same doubts as Miss Xu, so I suspect that this matter is also related to my mother, I secretly went to check my mother's past, and I also remembered what Zou scolded my mother in the yard that year." ”

When Zou heard that he was about to mention the foul words he had back then, he was not ashamed at all, but his eyes lit up in anticipation.

It's a pity that Second Master Zhao didn't say the original words.

Second Master Zhao said: "Zou said that his mother didn't know where he came from, and he married Hou Ye in the name of Cui's name, if she found out the evidence, she must tell her father." ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou looked at Zou coldly: "So, you have evidence in your hands?" ”

"Naturally," Zou said, "the more I think about it when I go home, the more wrong it becomes, and as soon as my mind is clear, I feel that I should leave evidence, in case there is a useful place one day, it will be terrible, and I can't say that I can save the Hou Mansion, and I really expected it." ”

When Zou said this, he raised his head and looked at Mrs. Guangping Hou: "I am out of the Cui family's five suits, but I used to help in the Cui family, but then the Cui family didn't need me anymore, can Mrs. remember the reason?" ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou said: "I naturally won't ask about such a trivial matter. ”

Zou raised his eyebrows: "No, if Mrs. Cui is the Cui family, this matter should be known, because I stole a pair of Cui shoes, and the housekeeper's mother knew about it, so I was chased back by Mrs. Cui." I wanted to wear those shoes for my girl, but who knew that the girl was miserable, and she went to have an illness, so I made those shoes her burial, and that year I found out the clues, and went back to dig out the shoes. ”

Second Master Zhao had been prepared, but he was still shocked by Zou's words, he didn't expect this kind of thing.

Zou said: "After the Cui family had an accident, I also told my neighbors that I had done a lot of work in the Cui family, and I stole a pair of young lady's shoes...... I don't know who collected the corpses for them. ”

What Zou said can be verified.

Now all kinds of circumstances are not in favor of Mrs. Guangping Hou.

Zhao Erye's eyes were firm: "I have also inquired, there is also a saying in the yamen that the bones of the ancestors of the Cui family can be used to identify the truth." ”

After Zhao Erye said this, Yu's mother turned her head to stare at Zhao Erye's face, as if squeezing out a voice from between her teeth: "Second master, people must have a conscience, how old were you when Madame married into the Hou Mansion, and who raised you?" Who runs the inner house and supports Mrs. Tai? You should know better than she how much Madame has done, how can you do this to her. ”

"I also want to treat her as my biological mother," Zhao Erye's eyes were slightly red, "Even if she is not Cui's, it doesn't matter, when I heard Zou's words, I didn't care, but later, I ...... It's all changed......"

Zhao Muwei was already crying.

Second Master Zhao looked at Mrs. Guangping Hou and said: "Mother, my son only asks you two things, as long as you answer clearly, you can not be held accountable for tonight's matter, and I will also ask my mother to intercede from my father, I believe that my father is not the kind of person who does not care about his feelings." ”

Xu Qinghuan already knew what Second Master Zhao was going to ask.

Mrs. Guangping Marquis also seemed to have expected it.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

I only heard Second Master Zhao take a long breath and then said: "First question, the prince of Guangping, that is, my brother, where is he now?"

The second question, are the dead soldiers who killed the Zou family today and the spies caught by the government irrelevant to you? ”
