Chapter 317: Innocence (2)
At this point, everyone has a rough guess about today's events. But Aunt Lin is the one who lost her daughter, she didn't give up, and shouted at Gongsun Lan: "Who knows what method you use as a demon?!" If you have the courage to kill, why don't you have the courage to admit it! ”
Gongsun Lan didn't even glance at her. However, Xue said on the side: "Aunt Lin, I can understand your feelings of losing your beloved daughter, we must seek justice for Ying'er, but this matter is strange everywhere, and it needs to be handled carefully, in case the good people are wrong, and the grudge is not said in vain, won't the real murderer get away with it?" Maybe you'll be able to attack others when the time comes! ”
The Xue family can be regarded as completely understanding today, the old lady of Gongsun is determined to defend Gongsun Lan, and even Gongsun Xian stood aside, but he never put pressure on Gongsun Lan. Moreover, Gongsun Lan's identity is not only the young lady of the Gongsun family, her origin is so complex and widely implicated, how can she be treated as an ordinary young lady of the world? That's why she said such a thing to show favor to Gongsun Lan.
Not everyone may be able to understand the benefits of befriending Gongsun Lan, but Xue, as the head of the house, naturally has this sense of smell and eyesight. Even if you can't get along, you can't hold grudges.
Aunt Lin looked at Xue coldly and said, "Big lady, it's not your daughter who died, so you naturally said it easily." Ying'er is my only daughter, and now she is dead in an unknown way, is it possible that I should be told to do something that has not happened? Are you deceiving me that there is no one in my mother's house?! ”
The Lin family is also from an official family, and he is not a role to be manipulated. It is possible for ordinary petty officials to marry a commoner woman or a Qing Qi person to go home and be small, but a family with strict family rules like Gongsun will never allow a woman of unknown origin to enter the door, even if it is a concubine, it may not be an ordinary background. So what Aunt Lin said is right, even if her mother's family can't compete with a big family like Gongsun, but she fights to the death without worry, and it has a lot of impact.
"That's not what I meant."
Of course, Xue didn't mean this, and wanted to open his mouth to distinguish one from the other, but the old lady Gongsun raised her hand to stop her. said: "Ying'er and Lan'er are both young ladies of the Gongsun family, although my old woman is old, she is not confused!" Ying'er won't die in vain, and Lan'er won't bear the sins of others in vain! Today, Lord Lu of Shuntianfu is here to testify, find out the truth of the matter, and the old body will not tolerate it! I will definitely seek justice for my grandson and my family! ”
The old lady of Gongsun knows more about Gongsun Lan, although she can't say that she knows this granddaughter very well, but she still has a general understanding of her own temperament. Since she generously invited the Gyeonggi Yamen to deal with this matter, it is clear that she wants to take the face of the people of the world and prove that she is not a murderer in a dignified manner. It is actually to provoke infighting in the Gongsun family! His heart can be punished!
However, it is important to find the murderer, but it is still necessary to clear the suspicion of Gongsun Lan in the moment. Otherwise, once the time drags on for a long time, the contradiction will take shape, and even if the matter is cleared up, there may be other grievances inside.
Just like Aunt Lin's thoughts at this time, although she also vaguely guessed that the murderer might not really be Gongsun Lan, but Gongsun Ying's death cannot be said to have nothing to do with Gongsun Lan. Without knowing where the murderer was hiding and watching, all her anger was naturally sprinkled on Gongsun Lan! Over time, other conflicts will inevitably arise.
Lu Chengyuan felt that this case was very tricky, but he could only cooperate as much as he could, so he echoed: "What the old lady said is that Lu will definitely go all out to track down the real murderer. ”
Aunt Lin heard the old lady say this, and she didn't dare to refute anything at the moment. After all, she didn't really plan to fight to the death, if she died, the relationship between the Lin family and the Gongsun family would be broken, how could it be so easy to get on the line after a grudge! Although the Lin family is considered to be a prosperous master, there are few outstanding children, and everything has to be supported by the Gongsun family. If she breaks the Lin family's thoughts, will the Lin family spare her! When the time comes, she will have no daughter, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Gongsun family, and there will be no mother's help, so it will not be a dead end? !
Therefore, at this time, I can only secretly suppress my hatred in my heart and obey the old lady's decision. She looked at the corpse of this daughter and said sadly: "The concubine believes that the old lady will definitely be able to give Ying'er justice!" ”
Gongsun Xian sighed secretly, even if the murderer was found, Gongsun Ying's life would be gone. It's not that he has a good relationship with this sister-in-law, it's just that he occasionally crossed paths when he was young, and he was a little different from others, so Aunt Lin and Gongsun Ying's mother and daughter deliberately created an illusion that Gongsun Ying had an unusual relationship with herself, but I didn't expect that Gongsun Ying died in this matter in the end, I don't know if this is a cause and effect!
"Grandmother, grandson has a word." Gongsun Xian suddenly discovered that Gongsun Lan was like a double-edged sword, which could bring benefits to the Gongsun family, but also brought many unknown waves. Even he himself couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad for him to propose to take her back to the Hui clan.
The old lady raised her hand and motioned to him: "You say." ”
Gongsun Xian has a transcendent status in the family, and what he says has a certain weight, and everyone looks at him for a while.
He glanced at Gongsun Lan and said to her: "I heard that when the fifth sister was in Da'an, she repeatedly solved the case. Today's events are full of suspicions, and you, as a party concerned, are afraid that you have more in your heart than anyone else. I don't know, can you be sure that you will find out about this matter and return your relatives to a clean one? ”
A pure ...... That's a very interesting statement.
Ji Erlan looked at him thoughtfully and didn't speak for a while. Is it possible that the crowd has fallen silent? Although Gongsun Lan has solved unbelievable cases before, it doesn't mean that she has such good luck every time.
Yuexi couldn't help but say angrily: "This is too embarrassing!" Can't you prove it, and you think that our young lady is the murderer? ”
No one answered her monthly interest, because that's what happened.
The main reason why everyone thinks that Gongsun Lan is the murderer is not because of Da'an's snow spider, but because the poison of the snow spider can kill people instantly. Gongsun Ying stayed in Yunluo Courtyard for a long time, how could it be poisoned by others?
If Gongsun Lan wants to get rid of suspicion, he must first prove to everyone that in addition to himself, others also have a chance to attack! She patted Yuexi's shoulder and said with a smile: "You girl, so many elders are here, what nonsense!" ”
Gongsun Xian choked when he heard this, this little woman, at this time, actually laughed out loud, and was in the mood to accuse Sang Huai of scolding him with sarcastic remarks!
But Gongsun Lan didn't look at him at all, and said to the old lady Gongsun: "Grandmother, what do you say? ”
The old lady Gongsun saw that she was not afraid, and for some reason her heart suddenly became a lot more relaxed, as if the other party said that if she could do it, she would definitely be able to do it. He said: "If you can cooperate with Lord Lu to find out the real culprit, it will naturally be the best." ”
Reporting this time to the Gyeonggi Yamen was just to disclose the dynamics of the matter to outsiders, and he didn't really expect Lu Chengyuan to find out anything. Besides, even if Lu Chengyuan found out something, he didn't dare to make any moves easily. In fact, this matter has to be implemented in the hands of Gongsun himself.
Gongsun Lan knew that the old lady and Gongsun Xian were the same as herself, and she guessed the purpose of the person behind her at the first time, but she didn't expect that they didn't take the opportunity to suppress herself, and they cooperated so much. It seems that his usefulness to the Gongsun family is really not small. "In this case, Lan'er promises to give you an explanation within two days."
"Two days?"
Everyone was stunned, in such a short period of time, do you think you are a god in the world! Isn't that a little too arrogant? Old Madam Gongsun was also a little surprised, but she just said, "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”
Collected Gu Min's body, and everyone left one after another.
Yuexi and Dusk Ye gathered around Gongsun Lan, and Yuexi said worriedly: "Why is there no day to worry about it, the matter between the prince and Dusk Winter over there has not been resolved, and there is another murder at this time!" ”
Twilight said, "That's not all. Our young lady has only been in the house for a few days, and a young lady has died in the house. Even if it is found out that this matter is not our work in the end, the people of the Gongsun family will inevitably have opinions about us. ”
Seeing that Gongsun Lan didn't speak, Yuexi said, "Miss, do you really have a way to find out who did it?" ”
Gongsun Lan didn't answer, but said: "Before Gongsun Ying was poisoned, let Su Xin go back to the courtyard and kill a girl called Lianyue, do you have any impression?" ”
The two shook their heads, and Twilight said, "We've been here for too short, and we don't have enough people, and the people in each house and courtyard are still wary of us, and the information we know is really limited." ”
"When the situation in Twilight stabilizes, let Twilight Spring come in. However, since the old lady said that I should find out the truth of the matter myself, then we don't need to be polite, we can ask whatever we want, and there is no need to be taboo! Take this opportunity to find out what you need to know! ”
Twilight's eyes lit up, it turned out that the young lady had already planned it. "Yes, slave and maid understand!"
Early the next morning, Gongsun Lan greeted the old lady Gongsun and left the house, planning to go to the house in the north to see the situation in the twilight. There seemed to be no sense of urgency to find the real culprit within two days, which made the people in Gongsun Mansion puzzled for a while. The old lady Gongsun didn't even ask, and let her come and go.
When the third lady Tan learned the news, she muttered to Gongsun Xian, who was accompanying her for breakfast: "This won't run away directly, right?" ”
Gongsun Xian didn't raise his head, and replied to his mother, "No." ”
Tan raised his eyebrows: "You really look like you believe her words?" ”
Gongsun Xian swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Mother has never seen her murderous. Neat, decisive, without the slightest drag. What happened last night was not her style at all, as she said herself, if she wanted to kill anyone, no one would notice that it had anything to do with her. ”
