The dilapidated wooden door suddenly turned into pieces, and smashed her head and face on the fat woman's body, she screamed in pain, and wanted to turn back and scold, but she was kicked in the fat face, and fell to the ground with a bang, and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, a long and shiny knife slammed into her neck.

The green frieze was shocked by the sudden situation and retreated, but her hands and feet were tied to death, and where could she escape.

The woman under the long knife didn't understand who it was, but she walked in the shadows of the market, so she naturally knew how to speak, and she hurriedly begged: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, what do you want, just open your mouth, the little woman will never disobey, just ask you to leave me a cheap life......"

The man in black with the knife didn't make a sound, but turned his head to look behind him.

Outside the door, a woman walked in slowly, her black gauze hat hanging down to her ankles, covering her whole body tightly, and her face and figure could not be seen clearly. I could only hear her tone in a flat and tactful tone, but without the slightest sympathy: "Your cheap life is really not worth anything......

The fat woman originally thought that the idler from somewhere wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, but she didn't expect it to be wrong, she listened to the other party's tone, and seemed to be not sparing the lives of others, so she knew that she couldn't be good today, and begged in a panic: "This girl, the little woman is just an insignificant tooth woman, and she has not offended anyone...... All he did was to collect money from others to eliminate disasters. I also asked the girl to explain her intentions, and if the little woman could do it, she would do her best to do everything she could for the girl! ”

The woman smiled contemptuously, but instead of looking at her, she turned her gaze to the green frieze in the corner. "Get what comes out of her mouth."

The maidservant behind her was also covered in a black gauze pocket, and when she heard this, she immediately stepped forward and took out the hemp core from the mouth of the green frieze, so that she could speak. Lu Lin had a vague guess in his heart, and immediately begged: "Please save this girl!" ”

The woman looked at her for a moment and asked, "Do you have hatred in your heart for those who hurt you?" ”

The green lintel gritted his teeth, his eyes were like a bloodthirsty hungry wolf: "Hate, naturally hate, if there is a chance, I will make them pay the price they deserve!" ”

The woman nodded lightly and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll give you a chance to take revenge." Will you give your life to me and do things for me? ”

The green frieze had a pair of scarlet eyes and said, "If the girl can help me take revenge, the green frieze will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

The woman nodded in satisfaction and motioned for the maid to untie her hands and feet. Say, "Your hand, I'll find a way to heal you." It will also make people find a place to settle you, you just need to obey the order, and you can't disobey the half! Otherwise, you won't end up better than you do today, you see? ”

The green frieze kowtowed three heads firmly, and promised: "The slave obeys!" ”

"Well, in that case, this fat woman will be handed over to you." The woman smiled lightly and said, "I'll wait for you outside." ”

The green frieze was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the embarrassed fat woman on the ground, and soon, the corners of her mouth pulled out a bitter and happy smile. She snatched the long knife from the man in black who came in earlier, and slashed at the fat woman with no life! Knife after knife, as if trying to chop the other party into a pulp......

The woman standing outside listened to the tearing howl from inside the wooden house, and said with a smile: "It's a ruthless person, change her name, and order someone to train her well." ”

"Yes."

When I got up on the second day, it was a good weather with bright autumn sunshine, and Ji Erlan followed Ji Chenglin out early in the morning, and went to Xufu after answering the ceremony in Dali Temple.

When Mrs. Xu heard that someone came to investigate the case of Lan Guiren's death, she couldn't help but sneer: "We can't afford to climb like that." She's dead, what does it have to do with us. Our Xu family is a low-income family, and we haven't even taken a step forward in the palace gate. ”

Ji Erlan knew that she would be treated coldly, but she didn't expect Mrs. Xu to speak so directly. He didn't care about his face, and directly called 'Lan Guiren' 'her', and he didn't have any respect, but Lan Guiren was the emperor's concubine. If it is known to others, a great charge of disrespect is inevitable.

However, Mrs. Xu recently lost her son, and she couldn't take care of it anymore under the great pain.

As an outsider, Ji Erlan has no good feelings about the royal personnel. Under understanding, he was not angry at Mrs. Xu's neglect, and said: "Mrs. Xu, I know that you are heartbroken for the loss of your son, but you should also know that it is a matter of the palace, and you have to investigate it thoroughly. How can Lord Xu be an official in the court with peace of mind in the future? ”

It's not that she's a fox and a fake tiger, and sometimes she doesn't clarify the benefits and disadvantages, and it will inevitably take a lot of words. She has always been a neat character, and if she can achieve her goal directly, why beat around the bush. Besides, what she said is also true, and the emperor really only gave three days.

Mrs. Xu's eyebrows were clear and angry, but she had to admit that she was right, after all, her husband was also a person who rose and fell in the sea. She stared at Ji Erlan for a moment and said, "Please come in." ”

Maybe it's because of the death of the only son-in-law, Xu Mansion looks desolate and lonely everywhere, and even the people don't dare to show too much cheerfulness, without a trace of vitality. Ji Erlan followed Mrs. Xu to the flower hall and sat down, and when the girls served tea, Mrs. Xu waved her hand tiredly to let all the idlers and others retreat. "Ask whatever you want."

"Mrs. Xu, please mourn." Ji Erlan first said a word of relief that was useless but should have been said, and then said, "Can you please tell Madame about Xu Gongzi's illness?" ”

"What is there to say about this. People are dead. Her voice was cold and emotionless, as if she had become disheartened, and there was nothing left to care about.

Ji Erlan was helpless, so she had to say: "Doesn't Mrs. Xu think that Xu Gongzi's death is a bit strange? ”

Mrs. Xu stood up suddenly, her eyes widened, but her expression was neither angry nor sad, but a grievance that had never been believed, and was finally relieved. She hurried up to Ji Erlan and sat down on the chair next to her: "You also think my son's death is unusual, don't you?" ”

Ji Erlan nodded and said, "Whether it is the time of onset or the circumstances of death, it is very coincidental, which makes people have to think carefully. ”

"Finally someone is willing to tell the truth...... Mrs. Xu suddenly covered her eyes with a handkerchief and cried, and said sadly: "I think so too, but our master has been unwilling to investigate this matter because it is related to that Jiang Yun, and he also said that he would not let me think nonsense, saying that Zhi'er's death was just a coincidence." I don't believe it, I can't believe it, how could Zhi'er die in such a daze! He was cured of a disease with great difficulty......"

"Then Mrs. Xu, can you tell me carefully what happened after the last visit of the Lan Guiren to the mansion?"

Mrs. Xu hated Lan Guiren so much, she gritted her teeth and said: "That heartless woman ......" She choked up and said: "It was a very common thing for the Zheng family to bring Sister Jiang Yun to the house that day, because the two families move around frequently, Jiang Yun and Zhi'er's relationship is not unexpected, and they should get married next year." The two families knew it in their hearts, so they didn't guard against getting along with each other, and besides, there were girls around them. ”

"The log got a cold, Jiang Yun asked a few words with concern after he came, and I joked with Zheng about the relationship between the two, Jiang Yun was ashamed, so he said to go and see Zhi'er, we didn't care, so we let ourselves lead the girl." Xu carefully recalled the events of this day, and it could be seen that she had thought about it thousands of times in her heart, and all the details were clearly explained.

"When the Jiang family left, I went to see Zhi'er, and I didn't find anything unusual, until midnight, he suddenly had a high fever, and Lang Zhong came to see Lang Zhong, who was sitting in the house, but Lang Zhong only said that the wind and cold were aggravated, and told us to take good care of Zhi'er and take medicine. Who knows, he subsided his fever and woke up again, and he didn't even recognize me, his own mother! ”

The corners of Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, and she said: "I searched for famous doctors in Beijing, and they all said that it was caused by high fever, and that Zhi'er burned out her brain!" As a mother, I can only watch my son become demented, like a three-year-old child...... It didn't take long for the matter to spread, and the Jiang family also ordered someone to say that they wanted to quit their relatives...... Although I think the other party is cold, I can understand it, after all, no one wants to marry their daughter to a fool......"

Ji Erlan said: "But then you heard the news of Jiang Yun's entry into the palace, and you became suspicious? ”

"Since she entered the palace in such a short period of time, didn't she know the news earlier?" Mrs. Xu's eyes flashed, and she was a little shrewd as a middle-aged woman, she said: "For the sake of glory and wealth, leaving her fingertips for marriage, her childhood sweetheart fiancé will inevitably be infamous and accused of being cold, and she may lose the opportunity to enter the palace because of this incident." Therefore, she didn't dare to withdraw her relatives openly, so she could only secretly poison her! ”

"Does Madame have any proof?"

Mrs. Xu said angrily: "I thought about it, so I asked the girl who decocted the medicine for Zhi'er that day, she said that the one named Lianxin next to Jiang Yun helped decoct the medicine, and Jiang Yun fed it to Zhi'er with his own hands, I was suspicious, so I came to the door and asked, guess what?" That girl named Lianxin actually threw herself into the well and died! If it were you, what would you do? ”

"If it were me, I would be suspicious." Ji Erlan told the truth, she thought about it for a while, and asked: "Then Xu Gongzi's medicine always has medicine residue left, have you ever asked people to distinguish it in detail?" ”

Mrs. Xu said deflatedly: "Naturally, but whether it is Langzhong in the house or outside, I have found someone to see it, and they all say that there is no problem." And although Zhi'er was delirious at that time, at least his life was still alive, and I was worried about his illness, and I couldn't investigate it in detail. So, this matter is over. ”

As she spoke, she asked someone to bring the dregs that had been sealed at that time, and said, "This is what I left at that time, if you think it is useful, take it." ”
