Zhang Qianglin stopped when he said this.

When Xie Jinlan, Ruan Yezhen, and Lu Zhukuai heard this, they all thought of the thumb-sized round black mark on the left side of Ying's waist.

But if it's the marks left after the blow, it shouldn't look like that!

Xie Jinlan looked at Zhang Qianglin below with heavy eyes: "There is no trace of dispute with others on Ying's body. Didn't you kill her directly with this stick? ”

Zhang Qianglin hurriedly defended himself:

"Wronged, my lord! The grass people didn't know what was going on, and after Ying was beaten, he fell directly to the ground unconscious. At that time, the grass people and my mother-in-law were panicked, thinking that someone had died. When the grass people had the courage to probe Ying's breathing, she was indeed still angry. ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Is this true? ”

Zhang Qianglin nodded again and again:

"Don't dare to deceive adults, everything the grass people say is true! It's just that the grass people are also afraid that the stick will knock people out and get into trouble, so they want to cover up the scars on her waist.

After all, the two of us hurt others first, and we didn't dare to leave openly. My lord, the grass people really didn't kill anyone! ”

Xie Jinlan said: "If you are really innocent, no one can wronged you!" Tell us how you hide your scars. ”

Zhang Qianglin subconsciously looked at Feng Shi beside him.

Xie Jinlan then moved his gaze to Feng Shi and said in a deep voice: "Feng Shi, don't hurry up yet!" ”

Feng Shi subconsciously shrank, and his head hung lower: "The folk woman has a black pigment on her body, which sticks to people's skin, and it will not melt when exposed to water for seven days. ”

Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen glanced at each other, so the black mark on Ying's back waist could be explained.

Xie Jinlan said: "Where did you get this paint from? ”

Feng wanted to speak and stopped.

Xie Jinlan said sharply: "Quickly recruit from the truth!" ”

Feng Shi suddenly became excited, and said in a trembling voice:

"The folk woman was brought out of the Xiaoyu Pavilion. In order to force the girls to pick up customers, Feng's mother often used lynching. In order not to be seen, she found someone to develop such a pigment, and then asked the artist to paint on the scars. ”

Ruan Yezhen remembered something and looked at Feng: "In this way, in addition to black, there are many colors?" ”

Feng Shi bowed slightly: "That's right." ”

Feng's mind at the moment was a little complicated.

Although she is Feng's mother's biological daughter, Feng's mother has never treated her as her own daughter. doesn't give her a good face on weekdays, and doesn't let her call her a mother since she was a child. Let her be the same as the girl in the pavilion, and call her Mother Feng.

When she was young, if she accidentally called the wrong name, she would be beaten badly, and then starved for a day and a night.

She was also wronged in every way: if you don't like her so much, why do you give birth to her?

When Feng's mother was furious, she said this answer herself.

Eighteen years ago, Feng's mother was the top brand of Xiaoyu Pavilion, and she was also a smash hit. But it didn't take long for her to find out that she didn't know which benefactor's child she was pregnant.

She wanted to get rid of the child. But the doctor told her that if she hit the child, her body would become weak. Major and minor illnesses often come to the door.

Feng's mother had no choice but to suspend the pick-up and raise the baby with peace of mind.

After she gave birth to a child, the position of the Oiran of Xiaoyu Pavilion had already been secured by her.

She has worked hard for many years, but she was beaten back to her original form because of a child, how can she not hate?

But no matter how bad Feng's mother was to her. She always gave birth to her and raised her for so many years.

Now that she betrayed Xiaoyu Pavilion this time, is she really right......

Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen glanced at each other, and they both understood the same meaning from each other's eyes.

Perhaps, the red dot on Ying's finger also has something to do with it.

Xie Jinlan looked at Feng Shi, who was a little dazed underneath, and said, "How can I identify this pigment on my skin?" ”

Feng suddenly came back to his senses and said, "The orange peel can wipe off this pigment. ”

Xie Jinlan looked at the two kneeling under him with heavy eyes, and was silent for a long time.

Not to mention that Zhang Qianglin and his wife couldn't withstand such a sight, and they couldn't stop sweating on their foreheads.

Even the uncle and nephew of Lu Zhukuai on the side were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what Xie Jinlan would do with these two.

Not to mention that it is not confirmed that Ying's death really has nothing to do with them, it is Zhang Qianglin's abduction and trafficking of women from good families over the years, and the light ones have been in prison for a few years! The heavy ones are allocated ore quarry mining!

Although they hate that iron is not steel, and they can't teach him a good lesson on the spot, they still can't help but worry in their hearts.

Finally, Xie Jinlan spoke up: "You two go back first." Remember, you're only here today to catch up with Uncle Lu Kuai's nephew. ”

Zhang Qianglin and his wife and Lu Zhukuai's uncle and nephew were all stunned.

It was Lu Wenming who was the first to understand the meaning of Xie Jinlan's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy on his face, and hurriedly urged Zhang Qianglin and his wife:

"Lord Xie, this is a chance for you to atone for your sins, don't thank Lord Xie soon!"

When Zhang Qianglin heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed: "The grass people thank you!" If the adults have something to do, even if they are instructed, the grass people will do their best to do it! ”

Feng Shi also followed and kowtowed: "The people have thanked the adult!" ”

Xie Jinlan waved his hand at the two: "You guys go down first." ”

Then he looked at Lu Wenming: "Lord Lu, go and send them." ”

Lu Wenming stood up and bowed: "Thank you, sir!" ”

After the three of them left the study, Lu Yu quickly got up and came to the center of the study, 'plopped', and knelt down straight beyond Xie Jinlan.

With this heavy sound, Ruan Yezhen felt pain when she looked at it.

But she looked at Lu Zhukuai's expression, but she didn't even frown.

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is Lu Zhukuai doing?" ”

Lu Zhukuai's face was a little ashamed:

"My lord, I was humble and arbitrary. He thought he knew Zhang Qianglin, but he didn't know that for so many years, he had been doing such a ninth-rate thing. He has been in his neighborhood for many years, but he has never noticed anything unusual! Dereliction of duty, please also ask the adults to punish them. ”

Xie Jinlan nodded lightly, with a look of approval on his face, and said leisurely: "Lu Zhukuai is indeed derelict in his duties. ”

After a pause, he continued: "In this way, this official will punish you for doing your best to find out the real culprit who killed Ying." If there is any slackness, the official will definitely punish him severely! ”

Lu Zhu looked at Xie Jinlan in surprise: "My lord, this ......"

Ruan Yezhen hurriedly interrupted him: "Lu Zhu, hurry up, don't hurry up and get your life!" Isn't it because you are dissatisfied with Lord Xie's punishment? ”

Lu Kuai denied it: "There is no dissatisfaction with the lowly position, just ......"

Ruan Yezhen interrupted again: "Since there is no dissatisfaction, there is nothing to do!" ”

Lu Zhu looked at this Zhen Ye Gongzi quickly, and then moved his gaze to Xie Jinlan.

Seeing his resignation to Zhen Yegongzi's behavior, he understood that this was what he meant. It's just telling yourself through the mouth of others.
