Ji Erlan smiled slightly, did not speak, but looked at the corpses in the courtyard, and saw that the redness and swelling on their faces had subsided at this time. said: "This medicinal powder prepared by Su Gu is really easy to use, and there is no trace of it. ”

Yue Xi said: "Yes, I have already told Sister Su Gu to ask her to get me more savings in case I need them." ”

Ji Erlan asked Yuexi to go back to Kongshan Xiaozhu first, and went to Ji Tianjiao's boudoir by herself, seeing that she was still struggling, trying to break free from the clutches of the girls, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why should the big sister be like this." If you don't know what to do and make a fuss, I have to give my father a wake-up call and ask him to send you to the nunnery to meditate. ”

"You dare!" Ji Tianjiao violently pushed Mu Xiang away, and Mu Xiang screamed in surprise and fell firmly.

Ji Erlan smiled: "It doesn't matter if I dare or not, if the eldest sister is really crazy, my father will naturally sympathize with the eldest sister's condition and send you to a quiet place conducive to recuperation." If the eldest sister has made up her mind to make trouble, you can ask the green frieze, or you can inquire with Yan Lingtian, who has been in close contact with Yan Lingtian recently, if someone in this capital is crazy, which nunnery is better to send to. ”

"You!" The puffiness of Ji Tianjiao's cheeks had not subsided, and the hot swelling pain dared to make the anger in her heart swell more and more, however, Ji Erlan's words were like a basin of cold water, drenching her through. "You despicable little slut!"

Ji Erlan was completely unmoved by her bad words, but ordered Mu Xiang to take the two little girls down. Mu Xiang was afraid to die, and he had long wanted to stay away from Ji Erlan, a bad star, and when he heard the order, he didn't have the heart to ask Ji Tianjiao at all, and went out with the two little girls.

Ji Tianjiao was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't know what Ji Erlan wanted, so she stared at her movements closely. Ji Erlan smiled lightly and said, "Big sister, don't be nervous, it's okay if you don't know, because soon you will understand that you are seeking skin with the tiger." ”

Ji Tianjiao's gaze probed on Ji Erlan for a while, sneered, and did not answer. However, Ji Erlan's next words made her heart half cold.

"I'm here to tell you that if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. The matter of you and Yan Lingtian conspiring with my aunt's life will be heard by someone with a heart sooner or later, do you think Yan Lingtian's temperament will leave such a handle for others? If Shenxiang succeeded last night, I'm afraid that everyone will die together, and you are the big sister. Ji Erlan smiled coldly and said mockingly: "Don't you know that there is such a thing as killing people and killing people in this world?" ”

Ji Tianjiao's heart trembled, and she retorted: "You don't have to be alarmist here!" ”

"Whether it's alarmist or not, you'll find out in a moment." Ji Erlan glanced at her and turned to leave.

Ji Tianjiao was shocked, and stumbled into the chair behind him.

At that time, she was still hesitating, but it was Yan Ling who tried her best to appease and seduce her to say it. She believed the other party for a while, so she told her about the involvement between the Qin family and Ji Erlan, and Yan Ling decided to get rid of the Qin family and destroy Ji Erlan without saying a word. This look of killing decisively and without much scruples, the more Ji Tianjiao thought about it, the more scared he became. She gradually began to regret it in her heart, but she muttered by luck: "I will be killed and killed?" No way! ”

The people from the Gyeonggi Yamen soon came, and the Yan family came in person by Yan Hui and Yan Lingtian.

Ji Chenglin looked at the pair of Yan family's proud sons in front of him, and had a headache, after all, Yan Xiangfu was not so easy to offend. He told the story of this morning from beginning to end, and then looked at the Yan family brothers and sisters and said: "There is someone in the house who recognizes this dead woman as the maid of the Yan family, so he ordered someone to inform him, I don't know if the two of you have a clue?" ”

Yan Ling glanced at Yan Yan and didn't make a sound, Yan Ling bowed and said, "Master Ji, this woman who died is my sister's personal maid Shen Xiang." Yesterday, on the way back from the girls' school, I suddenly found that five unknown men were secretly following the carriage of the eldest girl in your mansion. ”

Naturally, they would not say that these five men were the secret guards of their Yan family, anyway, the secret guards had always been nameless and surnameless, and their identities could not be verified in the household department. Since the mission failed, of course, it was good to pick out the Yan family. As for Shen Xiang, although it is a pity to die, it can't let her drag Yan Ling down. Therefore, the two siblings had already set up their rhetoric before coming.

Ji Chenglin frowned, glanced at Ji Tianjiao, and asked, "Tianjiao, is there such a thing?" ”

Ji Tianjiao stood not far away, wondering what Yan Yan meant by these words and whether she could threaten her. Hearing the question, he couldn't help but say nervously: "Tianji returned home from the women's school yesterday and didn't encounter anything special. ”

Yan Lingtian looked up at her slightly and asked, "According to what Master Ji just said, when the matter was discovered, Miss Ji was lying on Shen Xiang's body. What's going on? ”

Ji Tianjiao was questioned like this, and was a little at a loss: "I, I don't know." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that she was woken up by the exclamation of the green frieze last night, but before she saw what happened, she had a pain in the back of her head, and she didn't know what was going on, she looked at Yan Lingtian and then at Ji Erlan, a little surprised, and was dumbfounded for a while.

Ji Chenglin frowned and said, "In that case, let's listen to the results of the autopsy first." ”

The others didn't make a sound, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Since all the deceased were wounded by sharp blades, he quickly gave an answer: "None of the six deceased showed signs of poisoning." Among them, all five men were covered with knife wounds, and the wounds basically matched the blades held by the female corpse, and the sword wounds on the female corpse were basically the same as the long sword wounds held by the men. ”

The Gyeonggi Yamen are all veterans of handling cases, but the cases handled are generally cases between ordinary people, and cases like this that occur in the homes of officials must be handed over to Dali Temple for careful handling, however, now the dead are only the maids in the house, and they can't shirk it, so they can only be decent and refuse to say more, so as not to offend any party.

Listening to the results of the autopsy, Yan Xuan and Yan Lingtian were stunned for a moment at the same time, Shen Xiang and these five secret guards were all from the Yan Mansion, how could they kill each other! But in this way, it confirmed more and more what Yan Yan said to everyone before, Yan Yan reacted quickly, and hurriedly justified himself: "Presumably, it was Shen Xiang who struggled to subdue the five gangsters, and in the end he was seriously injured and died." ”

But Qi Zuo shook his head and said: "Young Master Yan, although there are many sword wounds on the female corpse, they are not fatal, and the cause of her death is this dagger inserted in her heart." ”

Everyone was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the dagger on Shenxiang's chest. Ji Chenglin's color changed suddenly, Ji Tianjiao gasped, she was quite frightened before, where would she pay attention to these details, even at this time she was standing far away from the corpse, however, she looked at the dagger carefully at this time, and exclaimed: "This, this is ......"

Yan Yan noticed something strange and asked, "Master Ji, what's so special about this dagger?" ”

Ji Chenglin stared at Ji Tianjiao deadly, but he knew that this matter could not be concealed at all, with the power of the Yan family, he could find out the origin of this dagger without making a big move, so he was silent for a moment, and had to say: "This is a dagger I got by chance many years ago, although it is not valuable, but the outer sheath of the dagger is very delicately carved, so I gave it to Tianji as a birthday gift." ”

Yan Ling tilted his eyebrows, suddenly looked at Ji Tianjiao and said, "Why did you kill Shenxiang?" She's here to save you! ”

"I didn't!" Ji Tianjiao suddenly felt that the leader was Sensen, shook his head in a panic, and his body stepped back step by step: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't kill anyone!" ”

Yan Ling looked at her with her eyebrows, and suddenly thought that if Ji Tianjiao became a murderer, it seemed that Ji Mansion would also have a lot of trouble, and Ji Erlan would also be deeply involved, she glanced at Yan Xuan, and saw that the other party also looked at her thoughtfully, so she knew that Yan Yan was the same as she thought, and said at the moment: "The matter is already obvious, Shen Xiang found something abnormal, followed these people to Ji Mansion, and found out that they were plotting against each other and killed them, but you took revenge and killed her when she was seriously injured!" ”

"You talk nonsense! Why should I kill Shen Xiang, obviously you are going to ......" Ji Tianjiao said this, and suddenly paused, she couldn't say, if she said that Yan Lingtian was here to kill the Qin family, how did she know? She can't afford to murder her mother-in-law either! She suddenly thought of what Ji Erlan had told her before, and cold sweat suddenly soaked the back of her clothes.

Yan Ling glanced at her mockingly: "What, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Ji Chenglin's face was a little ugly, and he said loudly: "Tianji, don't you really know what's going on?" He was obviously asking Ji Tianjiao, but in fact, he wanted Ji Tianjiao to quickly explain the matter clearly.

But how does Ji Tianjiao explain, does she still point to Ji Erlan and say that she did it all? She has no evidence at all! No one will believe it either! She looked at everyone at a loss and kept shaking her head: "I haven't done anything!" ”

Yan Lingtian's tone was quite aggressive: "Shen Xiang is the closest and most trusted servant girl by my side, and she actually died like this, Ji Tianjiao, you have to give me an explanation!" ”

Ji Chenglin was very annoyed when he heard this, he didn't think that Ji Tianjiao, a powerless girl, could kill people, but there was no way to prove it, he just felt unlucky! "Miss Yan, although the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, you can't talk casually, what reason does Tianji have to kill your maidservant?"

Yan Lingtian sneered and said: "Master Ji doesn't know, Ji Tianjiao hates Ji Erlan's identity as a concubine very much, and has always wanted to give the other party a good look, that day in front of Xingle Pavilion on Qing'an Street, Ji Tianjiao stopped my carriage and wanted to beg me to help her deal with Ji Erlan. She glanced at Ji Tianjiao with ill intentions and said, "I naturally won't agree to this kind of thing, so I refused, presumably she holds a grudge!" ”

Ji Tianjiao suddenly thundered like five thunders! She finally understood why Ji Erlan said that she was seeking skin with the tiger, and she heard Yan Lingtian say again: "If Lord Ji doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, if you want to know the truth of this matter, you can find out if it is true." ”
