Seeing that the butler's face was pale, as if she was going to lift a knife to cut someone in the next second, the maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees directly, and her previous joy was completely gone: "The housekeeper spares his life!" ”

The housekeeper sneered: "You privately arranged the master, and you still want me to spare your life?" ”

If it's okay usually, what is the attitude of Xu Gongzi towards his wife, the people in the house can see it clearly, but not now, Gongzi just died, and even the first seven haven't been, this morning I heard that there was such a bad thing in the yamen, the housekeeper really didn't dare to spare it, the dead are the biggest, this little maid dared to arrange the deceased master behind her back, and even because the master's death was so happy, she should pay the price.

"If you know you're wrong, go down there and apologize to your son."

Rao is Wan Bingyu, and he didn't expect the housekeeper to be so strict.

This Xu Gongzi knew at a glance that he was not a good person, he already had a wife at home, but he still dared to provoke the women outside, who knew if he was good to his wife at home? When a scourge like him dies, he not only has to clap his hands to celebrate, but also set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Before Wan Bingyu could speak to help the maid speak, the lady on the bed couldn't hold her breath.

Hearing Liu's positive words: "Housekeeper, just spare her this time, she is just young and ignorant, and she doesn't have a door on her mouth, so it's a big deal to beat her a few boards." ”

The butler's expression was grim, and he didn't seem to take the lady in front of him in his eyes.

Wan Bingyu was anxious, so he pushed He Nianbing, who had been silent, and the latter understood, so he cleared his throat and said, "Don't be careless of human life." ”

The butler was still aggressive just now, because his words weakened.

Alas, why did he forget that there were adults next to him, although this little maid was from their family, but he was killed in front of He Nianbing, he was definitely unwilling, so the housekeeper retreated and used Liu's method: "According to the family law, this maid arranges the master behind her back, and she should be punished, since the lady said that she was beaten on the board, then she should be punished for twenty boards." ”

As soon as she said this, the maid's eyes widened.

Twenty boards, even a strong man may not be able to stand it, let alone a weak woman like her?

If all the 20 boards are knocked down, I'm afraid I will be crippled if I don't die!

Seeing that the little maids waiting outside were about to enter the door and drag themselves out to beat, the maid panicked, and turned her eyes for help to Liu, but Liu's eyes were half lowered, not daring to look at her eyes.

It's not that the Liu family doesn't want to save it, but the Liu family can't save it.

She has been married into the Xu family for many years, but she has never given birth to a son and a half daughter, and it is precisely for this reason that her status in the Xu family is equivalent to nothing, not only her husband and in-laws do not want to see her, but even the swollen and powerful subordinates dare to treat her as a white dough at will, even if she speaks, it is useless, and she still has to be beaten.

Who made the little maid really make a mistake?

When the maid saw that Liu no longer helped her to speak, she panicked: "Madam, please save me-"

Liu still didn't dare to look at her.

So the maid understood the purpose of coming to the Liu family, twisted her brows into a Sichuan character, and then looked at He Nianbing and Wan Bingyu who were standing next to her and quietly observing the development of the situation: "You two are the ones who came to the mansion to investigate the case of Gongzi, if you save my life, I will, I will tell you Madame's secret!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned,

The person who reacted the most was Liu herself, who was surprised when she began to cough violently because she was so excited that she couldn't breathe.

But even what his own situation was, Liu still struggled to speak: "What secret do I have?" You don't want to spew blood! ”

Unexpectedly, when the little maid heard her words, she was not afraid at all, and directly stopped her chest and said, "Madam, what you have done, you know it in your own heart!" ”

Seeing this situation, if Ha Qi can't see that this little maid may have some clues about the cause of Xu Gongzi's death, I'm afraid that the person investigating the case is really a fool, Wang Bingyu and He Nianbing glanced at each other, and invariably asked the housekeeper to let the little maid go, and then they directly took the little maid out of the room in order to ask smoothly.

Before leaving the door, Liu struggled to get up from the bed, his pale cheeks full of panic.

"Don't believe her words, two guests, her words are all fake!"

But the maid didn't have time to say anything, how did Liu know that she must be trying to deceive people? Isn't this a self-confession?

Wan Bingyu gave Liu one last look in confusion, and then walked out of the room quickly, at the same time, He Nianbing had already begun to interrogate the maid about what she was going to say.

"Do you know any clues related to the case?" He asked straight to the point.

"I, I know some ......" At this time, the little maid began to get nervous, and her hand kept pulling her sleeves, as if she was a little uneasy, "I don't know what happened last night, Madame's behavior was a little abnormal, I felt strange, so I followed Madame for a while, who expected, I actually saw Madame hiding something." ”

Hiding something?

As soon as they heard this, Wan Bingyu and He Nianbing were a little nervous, just because the cause of Xu Gongzi's death was a nail piercing the skull, and the whereabouts of the murder weapon were unknown, it is said that Liu was the first person to find Xu Gongzi's body, and she had enough time to remove the nail.

But if you think about it this way, although the logic is clear, Wan Bingyu thinks it is unlikely.

Fang Cailiu's appearance is clearly a long-term illness, and she doesn't even have the strength to get out of bed, how can she have the strength to drive nails into Xu Gongzi's skull, and then pull them out in a short period of time?

"Since you saw Madame hiding something with your own eyes, do you remember where the place where she hid it?"

The waitress nodded complicatedly: "I peeked last night and was discovered by Madame, and Madame asked me to help her keep it secret......"

"Oh?" Wan Bingyu's eyebrows raised slightly, feeling that the little maid in front of her was a little suspicious, "Since you promised to help her keep it secret, why did you say it now?" ”

"I don't want to be beaten to death because Madame won't help me."

With tears in her eyes, the maid led the group to an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard, and under her guidance, in the shade of grass, Wan Bingyu really found a place of dirt that had been turned over.

She was about to lean over to remove the dirt, but before she could make a move, Crane Nianbing beside her pulled her away and pushed her behind her.

At that moment, a servant brought a small shovel.

He Nianbing used the small shovel to dig up the soil, and before digging too deep, he dug up a blood-stained handkerchief, and then opened the handkerchief to see that there were four nails lying quietly inside, each nail was stained with black blood, and it was obvious that they were the murder weapons used to murder Xu Gongzi.

"The handkerchief in the general's hand looks a little familiar," the butler approached to take a closer look, and when he saw the pattern on the handkerchief, his face changed: "This handkerchief belongs to the second young lady!" ”
