Chapter 360: A Dead Maid
Although it is not the season for the lotus flowers to bloom, the lotus leaves have already been unfolded, and the girls are also very interested.
Just go, get ready to go, and make an appointment to set off at three o'clock.
Everyone was very interested, and several girls tidied up early, and gathered at the door with the maid and maid guards.
Because the lotus pond is not far from here, it takes less than two quarters of an hour to walk, so I didn't plan to take a sedan chair.
"Ah......h
A scream, piercing the sky.
Lord Anle said: "Mingyu seems to be your cousin's voice. ”
Zhang Xiaoqian said: "Listen to the voice...... Something doesn't seem right, is something wrong? ”
Lu Mingyu also heard it, and hurriedly beckoned to the guards beside him: "The voice seems to be coming from the loquat forest over there, hurry up and take a look!" ”
The people who came to Biezhuang to play this time were all good with Lu Mingyu, so when they saw Lu Mingyu leading people to follow the sound, they also hurried to follow.
As everyone approached the loquat forest, the cry of "Woo ......" gradually intensified.
The guards drew their swords and walked in front to open the way, the girls and their respective maids followed closely behind, and three hundred meters away, they saw Ding Lan sitting on the ground, Ding Lan's personal maid Xiangmi was lying quietly on the ground, her eyes were wide open, her entire chest was red, and her death was terrifying!
"Ah......" The girls were suddenly frightened!
Ding Lan saw Lu Mingyu and the others, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Killed!" Killed! Woowoo woo ......"
"Who killed? Cousin, what's ...... What's going on? ”
Ding Lan was at a loss: "I don't know, I don't know!" Woowoo woo ......"
An Qing, the head of the guards beside the county lord of Anle, stretched out two fingers to probe the deceased's snort and roughly examined the corpse, and said, "The person is already dead, the hairpin is inserted into the neck, and he has lost too much blood to death!" ”
After speaking, Anqing pulled out the hairpin inserted in the neck of fragrant rice.
"Isn't there... Yes... Bandits infiltrated ...... Here it comes? Liu Qingqing was so frightened that she couldn't straighten her tongue.
Tang Wenwen was calm and relaxed, and said, "Don't be afraid! There are so many of us! ”
An Le said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everyone!" Who wants to die, dare to come and fight our idea? ”
They are all daughters of official families, although Lu Mingyu is not a lady of the official family, but his father is also the object of court's important ministers!
Who is not afraid of death and dares to deal with the daughters of so many important ministers?
After being reminded by An Le, their mood stabilized a lot, and Ding Lan was still trembling and crying.
"This hairpin ......" Tang Wenwen turned his gaze to Ding Lan.
This hairpin is Ding Lan's thing!
Not only Tang Wenwen recognized it, but many girls present recognized it, Ding Lan has been wearing it for the past two days, and she still wears it in the morning!
Could it be that Ding Lan killed fragrant rice?
Thinking that this may be the reason, the girls are not very afraid, as long as there are no bandits, slaves, it is normal to kill two disobediently, who didn't kill a few evil slaves?
But...... Insert a hairpin directly into the maid's neck, a girl who has not yet reached the hairpin, can actually do it, how ruthless is it? The girls looked at Ding Lan differently, and no one dared to be in the company of such a ruthless person!
Ding Lan hadn't noticed the change in everyone's mentality towards her, she was very scared, and grabbed Lu Mingyu's arm so that she could have a little sense of security.
Lu Feng came in a hurry, he was a member of the Lu family, and he was also the chief steward of this Zhuangzi, if these girls had an accident in the Zhuangzi, his ten lives would not be enough.
An Qing and Lu Feng didn't know what to say, Lu Feng's face was ugly, and he hurriedly asked someone to go back to Lu's house to tell him.
An Qing, the head of the guards beside the county lord of Anle, bowed down and said respectfully: "County lord, why don't you go back to the inner house first?" ”
The first time I encountered such a bloody scene, everyone was very scared, so they went back to the inner house together, and the lotus pond boating gods and horses were no longer interested, and their minds were full of fragrant rice.
It was not yet time to return to the inner house for a cup of tea, Zhen Xiaolian and the maid came over, Zhen Xiaolian said, "What's wrong with you?" Sister Lan, why are you crying? Didn't you say you were going to the lotus pond? Why don't you move? I waited outside for a long time. ”
Liu Qingqing said: "Xiangmi died, died so miserably, we were all scared to death, what lake do you swim in, what kind of boat do you swim?" Not in the mood. ”
Zhen Xiaolian and her maid Xiaomin were puffing in their hearts, they were nervous and scared, Liu Qingqing said: "Xiaolian, don't be afraid, it's just a maid who died, who didn't kill a few disobedient minions?" ”
After finishing speaking, his eyes still glanced at Ding Lan and whispered, "It's just to start...... It's a little cruel. ”
As soon as the words fell, many girls turned their eyes to Ding Lan.
Ding Lan's emotions had calmed down a lot at this time, and at this moment, he also found that everyone's eyes were not right, and exclaimed, "You guys...... You don't think I killed people, do you? ”
Liu Qingqing said: "Sister Lan, fragrant rice is your maid, and the murder weapon is your lotus hairpin." ”
Zhen Xiaolian and Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Ding Lan cried anxiously and defended: "It's not me!" Not me! Woowoo woo ......"
The girls looked at each other.
Ding Lan cried and said, "My hairpin was lost, and I went separately with Xiangmi to look for it, and when I got there, Xiangmi was already dead!" I didn't kill it! ”
Lu Mingyu said: "Xiangmi followed my cousin when she was very young, my cousin has a good relationship with her, it can't be that my cousin killed her!" ”
"Who would have done that?" Dou Yun was a little scared, "There can't really be bandits in Zhuangzi, right?" ”
"I ...... Let's hurry home! I...... I'm scared. Peach Blossom tugged at Zhang Xiaoqian and Liu Yixin's sleeves and said in a low voice.
Zhen Xiaolian said: "But this is the place of the Lu family, and ordinary people can't get in......
Zhang Xiaoqian said nervously: "It must have been done by someone in Zhuangzi, I don't know what the purpose is?" Let's go home! ”
The maid Xiaomin muttered, "Isn't it obvious who the murderer is? After speaking, his eyes were still aimed at Ding Lan.
Ding Lan stood up angrily and rushed over with a slap: "Nonsense!" ”
Xiao Min's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and Zhen Xiaolian scolded: "What nonsense? Is Sister Lan such a person? Someone must have picked up Sister Lan's hairpin to blame Sister Lan, besides, even if Sister Lan killed it, what about it? It must be that the slave and maid are disobedient, and the master beats a slave to death, what qualifications do you have to put your beak? Don't apologize yet! ”
Zhen Xiaolian sounded like she was defending Ding Lan everywhere, but she always felt weird when she heard it, but no one studied it carefully, only the two grandmothers who followed An Le and Liu Yixin kept an eye on it.
Xiao Min hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The slave is talking nonsense, please spare Miss Ding!" ”
Tang Wenwen said: "Xiaolian is right, maybe someone picked up something and wanted to keep it for himself, Xiangmi didn't agree, the two of them had a dispute, and it was possible to accidentally kill Xiangmi!" ”
The county lord of Anle said: "Mingyu, if this is the case, the subordinates in the mansion will have to be rectified and rectified. ”
As soon as they said this, everyone's suspicion of Ding Lan was also alleviated a lot.
Lu Mingyu nodded and said, "Well, I'll tell my father when I go back." ”
