There are countless murder cases handled by the Gyeonggi Yamen, but there are not many related to the famous families of the princes, because the family is powerful and the relationship is complicated, and the good and ugly things are not willing to be publicized, and those who can solve it themselves do not need to let outsiders know. But Gongsun Lan's matter is very special.

The young lady who had been exiled for more than ten years suddenly returned to the clan, attracting the attention of countless people, and many of them had a curious wait-and-see attitude. There are a lot of rumors about Gongsun Lan circulating in various families, and not all of them are made up by Gongsun Ying. At such a time, if it is suddenly reported that Gongsun Lan killed a sister in the clan due to a small conflict, the impact on the Gongsun family and herself is very huge.

Therefore, Gongsun Lan simply handed over the matter to the Gyeonggi Yamen for handling, which was tantamount to putting this matter clearly under everyone's noses. What the truth is, there is no concealment, you can look at it generously! First, it proves that she is above board and not distracted. Second, let the people who set the trap behind them be restrained, and they dare not make trouble easily.

The old lady Gongsun has been in charge of the inner house for many years, so she naturally understands this truth, so she took Gongsun Lan's decision as soon as possible.

Gongsun Ying's body was still lying there, and she naturally couldn't move easily before she came to the autopsy, and even if she moved, where could she be placed at this time? She was young and died tragically, and there are many theories about the future, and she was not able to find a suitable longevity material so quickly for the time being.

Everyone was silent and strange, standing or sitting, waiting for someone from the yamen to come. There was only Aunt Lin's crying and resentment in the room. However, no one will speak for her until the matter is settled.

Da'an has four distinct seasons, while Yasukuni is different, with longer springs and shorter autumns and winters. At this time, although it was already the middle of October, everyone was still wearing thin silk yarn. The evening glow is gone, but the heat has not diminished. In addition, everyone present was nervous, and they all sweated. The eldest lady Xue wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and at the same time did not forget to fan the old lady herself.

Seeing this, Gongsun Lan secretly praised the housewife of the family for really being an ingenious person with all eight faces, who could not relax her mind at all times, and had to maintain all kinds of people and things around her. But others don't think so, and many people feel that Xue's actions are a bit too much! Even if you want to please the old lady, you don't have to be so clever in everything, don't you think you are hypocritical?

But they don't understand a truth, if they can be hypocritical and not change their face for a lifetime, is it still hypocrisy? Although Xue's behavior will be looked down upon by some people, the person who is flattered has really benefited, even if this benefit is only a few cool breezes.

Gongsun Lan secretly looked at the crowd, except for the second lady who was sick all the year round and did not come, most of the people here were the wives, grandmothers and aunts of the various hospitals, and there were no juniors. From this, it can also be seen that the old lady Gongsun is strict in governing the family. In such a sudden situation, it can still ensure that the gaffe does not become chaotic, and the place that should be controlled is firmly controlled.

The sky was completely dark, and the night was spreading, and Gongsun Xian personally took Lord Lu of Shuntian Mansion through the Hanging Flower Gate into the inner courtyard.

Lu Chengyuan's expression condensed, and Gongsun Xian had already briefly explained the whole story. But what the truth is, he really doesn't know the bottom in his heart. The Gongsun family has been standing in Yasukuni for a hundred years, and not only has not the slightest decline, but also shows signs of prosperity, so he has to be cautious. However, he found that none of the three masters of the Gongsun family showed up at this time. Is it because he doesn't pay enough attention to this fifth lady who fell from the sky, or does he know the situation well and don't have to bother at all?

But these doubts were all dispelled the moment he saw Gongsun Lan.

As the governor of the Suncheon Prefecture, he controlled the entire Gyeonggi Yamen, and the public security and civil affairs of Kyoto were under his jurisdiction, so what he saw and heard was naturally not comparable to ordinary people. But the lord in front of him, who was in the limelight, did not have the consciousness of being under the fence for the first time, and when he stood among the people, his aura was not weaker than that of the old lady Gongsun and Gongsun Xian who were present, and it was not at all comparable to the daughters of ordinary families.

How much confidence is this?

Is it the ignorant who are fearless? Definitely not, otherwise, it would not have made the people of the Gongsun family pay so much attention to it. He had already heard that the date for the genealogy on the ancestral hall had been set, just three days later! When the time comes, Gongsun Lan will be the clear Miss of the Gongsun family, Jin Zun Yugui! The identity is not weaker than that of the princess of Yasukuni.

"Chengyuan greets the old lady."

Lu Chengyuan politely greeted the old lady of Gongsun, but the old lady just nodded and said: "The justice of the king's law is naturally insurmountable, and the six girls will not die in vain." She waved her hand and asked her subordinates to take Aunt Lin aside, and said to Lu Chengyuan: "Lord Lu, let me do an autopsy!" ”

Lin was pulled aside and still emotional, his chest rising and falling violently, staring at Gongsun Lan. Lu Chengyuan secretly thought that no matter what kind of person it is, such rights and wrongs are indispensable, he nodded and agreed, and ordered him to step forward to carefully inspect Gongsun Ying's body.

Because of the importance of the matter, he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and carefully took the black blood from Gongsun Ying's mouth to verify it carefully.

In the Yujiao Pavilion, Gongsun Mu sat at the table, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking. Xianglan ran into the door with her skirt in her hand, looking so frightened that she even forgot to salute: "Miss, Miss Six has an accident!" ”

"Something's wrong?" Gongsun Mu's brows frowned even tighter.

There was a sudden chaos in the mansion, saying that something had happened in the Yun Courtyard. But the old lady quickly suppressed the matter and called the eldest lady and the third lady to go to Yunluo Courtyard together.

Because Gongsun Mu's mother and second lady are sick on the couch all the year round, there is no time for her to worry about things in the house, so if something happens in the house, as long as it has nothing to do with the second room, she will rarely come here to report. It's just that Gongsun Mu arranged the eyeliner everywhere, and basically came to deliver the letter as soon as possible, but today seems to be a little special, and the old lady ordered that if you don't have an order, you can't leave your yard without permission. Therefore, she could only let Woad go out quietly to inquire.

Xianglan said: "Yes, Miss Six died in Yunluo Courtyard!" I heard that the Gyeonggi Yamen is here! The old lady's meaning, this matter, it seems to be public......"

"The sixth sister is dead?" Gongsun Mu's calm face slowly showed a look of horror: "What do you mean?" How did she die? ”

"The slave doesn't know...... The old lady spoke, and everyone was secretive and didn't dare to say more, but some people also heard that the frangipani beside Miss Six rushed out of the Yunluo Courtyard and said, 'Miss Fifth has killed someone'! ”

"Did Gongsun Lan kill her?" Gongsun Mu was even more incredulous, and Rui Zhu was shocked on the side: "Fifth Miss is really so ruthless? ”

Gongsun Mu subconsciously shook his head: "This ...... This can't be, this doesn't make sense! A person like Gongsun Lan is a powerful character at first glance, and he will never do such a stupid thing for no reason. What good would it do her to kill Gongsun Ying?! Even if you want to kill, you have to set up a seamless game, what is this! Asking for trouble? ”

Xiang Lan was surprised: "What does Miss mean, there is another mystery in this matter, isn't it the hand of Miss Five?" ”

Gongsun Mu did not refute, that is, acquiesced.

Xiang Lan hesitated: "Fifth Miss is not very old, it's not impossible to be impulsive, right?" In the morning, didn't Miss Fifth shave off a strand of Miss Six's hair...... It's said that there are some spiders, I'm afraid it's bluffing......"

Rui Zhu thought for a while and said, "Even if it is really the fifth lady's hand, the clan will find a way to cover up this matter, right?" After all, a young lady has been damaged, and you can't catch one. ”

Even the people in the house know that every member of the clan has its own value, whether it is a child or a concubine, from childhood to adulthood, they are subject to extremely strict discipline and training, whether it is a marriage in the future, or how, it is the family's resources. That's why Rui Zhu said that.

Gongsun Mu thought more deeply and said: "In short, since my grandmother handed over this matter to the Gyeonggi Yamen, it is clear that she wants to protect Gongsun Lan and return her innocence, so I am even more sure that there must be some arrangements for Gongsun Lan in the clan!" ”

Gongsun Mu's defense of Gongsun Lan comes from this, she is the best child in the clan, although the second room is weak, but as long as she can soar into the sky, what else is there to be afraid of? She was not stupid, during this time she noticed that the old lady often showed judgmental eyes to her, so she guessed that there might be some arrangements in the clan to choose someone to entrust her with important tasks. She was sure that no one in the clan would be better than her, however, she never expected that there would be a Gongsun Lan!

Rui Zhu was worried at this time: "Miss, this matter is suddenly involved in the yamen, will it ......?"

Gongsun Mu glanced up at her and knew what she was talking about. Gongsun Ying went to Yunluo Courtyard to provoke because she let people deliberately say those rumors in front of Gongsun Ying! hinted that she was going to provoke Gongsun Lan to try the depth! As a result, someone took advantage of this incident to kill Gongsun Ying and blame Gongsun Lan! Will anyone doubt her about this?

If anyone suspects her, even if it turns out that she is not directly related to her, her reputation will be damaged!

Gongsun Mu always felt that no matter how good Gongsun Lan was, she would be able to make a tie with herself, but now she realized that her means were far inferior to Gongsun Lan. At least the other party is not bound by the inner house at all, and without the family, she can also mix and thrive. But she can't, she is restricted everywhere, and her reputation is something she has to protect no matter what! The family is the backer she relies on for survival.

"Humph! This Gongsun Lan must be my nemesis, since she came, everything has not gone well for me! ”

Woad Lan and Rui Zhu glanced at each other, and they didn't think of any good ideas for the time being. After a while, Rui Zhu said: "Even if the old lady wants to find out who provoked Miss Six to find Miss Five, I'm afraid it won't be so fast." When the other side is dispersed, it is not too late for the young lady to ask Su Xin to find out. ”

Gongsun Mu groaned: "If it really doesn't work, you can only find a substitute for the dead ghost." ”
