Chapter 29: The Cause of Death Is Different
Mu Zhengsong hurried to the Jingxin Pavilion when he came back from the emperor's errand, and the moment he saw Mu Yao, he saw another woman through this face in a trance.
He held up the big Jiang family, "Second girl, why don't you find someone to see your grandmother first, as for these Diao slaves, how about they be locked up in the firewood room first?"
Zhou and Mu Zhengsong glanced at each other, and also spoke: "And this bold head catcher, put it in the firewood room together, right?" ”
Mu Yao had never seen Mu Zhengsong, but in addition to Mu Zhengbai, the only one who called the mother of the Great Jiang family was the second uncle Mu Zhengsong, and his surprise for a moment was fleeting, and Mu Yao knew that this second uncle was a person who knew how to hide himself.
Mu Yao glanced at Xiao Jiang's gloomy face, she nodded at Zhou's and left with a smile.
Xiao Jiang glared at Zhou hatefully, wanting to see her laugh no way!
……
Da Jiang woke up slowly, looked around, and everyone was there, except for Mu Yao.
"The family is unfortunate, Mu Yao's ......" Da Jiang wailed and grabbed Mu Zhengsong's hand, "Zhengsong is back, your eldest brother is not here, you have to save your niece, she, she is a ghost!" ”
Mu Zhengsong held Da Jiang's hand and lowered his eyes and was silent, he had already received the news that Mu Zhengshan would arrive in Yangcheng in four days at the latest, not to mention Mu Zhengshan's attitude towards Mu Yao, just by virtue of his own concubine, it would not be his turn to punish his daughter-in-law!
Of course, he didn't want Mu Yao to be hurt in his heart......
"Mother, you dissipate your anger first, maybe it's all a misunderstanding!" Mu Zhengsong coughed twice, and Zhou hurriedly took over Da Jiang's hand.
"Yes, mother, you have a good rest first, and it's not too late to wait for the eldest brother to come back."
"No," Da Jiang roared angrily, shaking off Zhou's hand, "Wanjun, you look for Brother Xuan'er and invite the elders of Yuxuguan, the second girl is the bloodline of Zhengshan, how can I watch her go on like this, no one is a ghost!" ”
Xiao Jiang stepped forward and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I have already told my brother to invite the Great Elder of Yuxuguan to come, take pity on the second girl, she is obviously living in Yaoxin, but now she has somehow become like this!" ”
Watching the aunt and nephew talk to themselves, Mu Zhengsong remembered the woman many years ago.
……
Mu Yao was woken up by Chun Tao.
"Miss, wake up, something is wrong!"
Mu Yao opened her eyes, why didn't she feel asleep, she was still holding Mu Tingye's jade pendant in her hand, she seemed to have dreamed of something just now, but she was interrupted by Chun Tao, and now she can't remember it at all.
"Miss, you drink saliva first." Liu Hong handed over the teacup, but she was much calmer than Chun Tao, "Steward Li and the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion are dead, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion are rushing to our yard!" ”
"Dead?" Mu Yao looked at the sky, estimated that the time had passed, didn't feel annoyed, and slept for two hours, "Take me to see!" ”
"Second Miss, Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is here, saying that he has something to ask Miss!"
Liu Qing spread the word outside the door, and the three masters and servants glanced at each other.
When Mu Yao opened the door, she saw a man in a blue official uniform standing not far away, about twenty years old, upright, and dignified.
"Second Miss, I'm Yin Si Lijie of Jingzhao Mansion." Si Lijie clenched his fists slightly, and when he saw Mu Yao clearly, he realized that this concubine of the General's Mansion was very different from what he had heard, just the momentum of her body standing there was not at all the stupid appearance that was rumored.
Mu Yao looked at Si Lijie, this man was neither humble nor arrogant, standing five steps away from the door, with only two guards behind him, and he acted safely.
"Do you have a problem?"
"Something," Si Lijie looked at Mu Yao with sharp eyes, "Jingzhao Mansion's head catcher Nie San died in the General's Mansion, and this official dares to ask the second lady if she knows martial arts and poison?" ”
"What does it have to do with you?" Mu Yao asked rhetorically, they couldn't run away from Xiao Jiang's and splashed dirty water, "You should go to the murderer if you catch your head and die, what are you looking for me?" ”
Si Lijie didn't expect to see such a beautiful woman talking like this, but this made him feel that Mu Yao was very different.
"According to Xia Guan's understanding, the second lady had a conflict with Nie San before." Si Lijie stared at Mu Yao, only to see Mu Yao frowning slightly.
"Heh, so you're taking me as a suspect?" Mu Yao sneered, "Nie Zhutou and Aunt Jiang in my house, if you want to know about it, I can help you solve your doubts." ”
"Second girl, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Jiang hurriedly came with Ruyi, originally wanting to see Mu Yao being suppressed by Jingzhao Mansion Yin, but as soon as he walked in, he heard Mu Yao slandering her.
"Yo, Aunt Jiang is in good spirits, but because Nie Zhutou is dead, there is no proof of death, you can rest assured!" The corners of Mu Yao's mouth were lightly raised, and her tone was teasing.
Xiao Jiang glared at Mu Yao fiercely, and turned to Si Lijie and said: "Master Si, our old lady has something to say, although it is ugly, but our general's mansion has always been fair and just, and now Nie Zhutou is killed in my mansion, no matter who is involved, you don't have to scruple." ”
Si Lijie just nodded lightly, he didn't care about the back house of the Gaomen Mansion, he just investigated the case.
"Aunt Jiang, you have to remember what you said," Mu Yao took two steps forward and came to Si Lijie's side, "Master Si, as the concubine of the General's Mansion, I must not let you suspect and slander casually, why don't we go to the scene of the crime and take a look." ”
Si Lijie didn't expect Mu Yao to take the initiative to ask for this, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and he also appreciated Mu Yao a little more.
Xiao Jiang snorted proudly, go, let's go, let's throw yourself into the net, "Ruyi, you are still there, go and tell the old lady, I will follow Master Si to the firewood room." ”
Ruyi lowered his eyes, and his face was melancholy.
……
The vicinity of the firewood house was already surrounded by officials, and Mu Yao saw the second uncle Mu Zhengsong and the Zhou family from a distance.
"Master Si!"
"Lord Mu!"
Mu Zhengsong greeted Si Lijie, glanced at Mu Yao and said, "Second girl, be careful." ”
Mu Yao was a little surprised by Mu Zhengsong's concern, "Second Uncle has a heart, I am not afraid of the living, let alone the dead." ”
Zhou squeezed the silk handkerchief in his hand, his heart was like a knife, and he pretended to be gentle on his face and said, "The second girl has been living in Yao Xinju in the afternoon?" Your second uncle and I are very worried about you. ”
Mu Zhengsong coughed lightly and looked at Zhou.
"Of course, I slept very well." Mu Yao squinted, so much so that she couldn't understand what the husband and wife were messing with, Zhou was obviously pretending to be smiling, and Mu Zhengsong seemed to be really worried about herself.
Mu Yao walked into the firewood room and looked around, a gray-clothed man was performing an autopsy, and she was observing the two corpses.
Si Lijie was a little stunned, Mu Yao's calmness seemed to be used to seeing such a scene, how could a deep lady or a deep lady with unbearable rumors be so calm?
"Autopsy results!" Mu Yao was obviously asking about the work.
Si Lijie nodded slightly, and began to explain.
"The deceased Li Fugui died of poisoning, the time of death, about an hour, the deceased Nie San, died of a broken vertebrae......"
"That's not right!" Mu Yao opened her mouth and denied her conclusion.
