Jiang Zhu turned sideways and saw Song Li'er next to him, the clothes on his body had changed into a goose-yellow jacket skirt, wearing a white fox fur, holding a soup woman in his hand, and he was smirking at himself, not knowing how to avoid it.

"Tomorrow there should be results." Jiang Zhu's expression was indifferent, which was his usual emotion.

Song Li'er thought about it, looking at the snow outside the corridor, it seemed that she wanted to cover up the capital, and somehow felt a little depressed: "Isn't it Xie Yushi who will be buried tomorrow?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Zhu also looked at the heavy snow outside, no matter how white it was, it couldn't cover the filth hidden in the depths of people.

Early in the morning of the second day, Song Lier followed Song Wanjing to Xie Mansion, and Jiang Zhu and Chen Xueqing had also arrived.

Xie Mansion was entertaining guests was Xie Yushi's brother Xie Jian in Qizhou, because of this wind and snow weather, he hurried all the way and rushed to Xie Mansion before Xie Yushi was buried this morning. The tiredness on his face is clearly visible, his temples have turned white, and his back is rickety.

"Jiang Shaoqing" The housekeeper of the Xie family pointed out beside him, and Xie Jian knew who the people who came: "There are a lot of people who came to mourn today, and I hope you will forgive me for the inconsiderate greetings." ”

"It's okay" Jiang Shaoqing arched at Xie Jian and explained his intention: "A few days ago, the Holy Lord ordered me to investigate the matter of Xie Yushi, and I was delayed for some time because of some things, so I found out the truth of the matter before Xie Yushi was buried. ”

"Jiang Shaoqing means that my brother was not an accident, but he killed him?" Xie Jian didn't react quickly, but he always had such an idea in his heart. His eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhou's something.

Zhou's dressed in sackcloth, kneeling in front of the mourning hall, did not lose his manners, looking at a beautiful woman with pear blossoms and rain from a distance, I felt pity. The guests next to him couldn't help but sigh that such a beauty was buried in the high wall like this, forgetting the person who was lying in the coffin and had lost his life.

"Please be disrespectful, let Chen Langjun examine the body again." Jiang Zhu said.

"Please, as long as I find someone to kill him on my brother's behalf, let alone an autopsy, even if I go bankrupt, I won't complain." Xie Jian has only one brother like Xie Yushi in this world, although the two are not together, their relationship is very deep, Xie Yushi's sudden death is a lot of blows to Xie Jian.

"Why are you doing that?" A trace of uneasiness appeared on Zhou's face, trying to stop Chen Xueqing who stepped forward.

"Madam, the lower official is on the order of the Holy Lord to investigate the murder of Yushi, and I hope that Madame will not stop it." Jiang Zhu motioned to his subordinates who followed behind and helped Chen Xueqing open the coffin lid.

Seeing this, Zhou had no choice but to step aside.

The weather was cold, and the corpses didn't look like they were rotting on a summer day. Chen Xueqing skillfully took out small knives and small hammers from the box next to him.

In order to facilitate the autopsy, Xie Yushi's body has been lifted out of the coffin. The visiting guests had already gone to the wing room next door, and Xie Jian went to entertain them first.

"There were two wounds on the deceased's body, one was on the waist, caused by a fall from a horse and a contusion on the lumbar vertebrae, and the second was in the back of the head, which was also a fatal wound to the deceased, the head hit the ground and hit a stone, but"

Chen Xueqing paused for a moment and removed some more hair from Xie Yushi's wound to make the wound hidden in it more obvious.

Song Wanjing next to him wrote them down one by one.

"But the deceased did not die from hitting a stone, but was plunged into the wound by a small, hard hairpin, similar to the hairpin used by a woman, and bled profusely."

What does that mean? Is my husband really harmed? Zhou's face paused, and soon his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Jiang Zhu helplessly.

"Madam, don't worry, Jiang Shaoqing will definitely give you an explanation." Song Li'er avoided Zhou's interference with Jiang Zhu, and Zhou's maidservant helped Zhou to sit down on the side.

"Madame knows this person." Jiang Zhu didn't answer Zhou's words, but pointed to the woman in plain clothes who had been following him, bowing her head and saying nothing.

"Something familiar." Zhou looked at Man Niang who raised his head and looked carefully.

"When I was in Zhou's house, Mei Niang was often in her own yard, and the maid was only responsible for the flowers and plants in the lady's yard, so naturally she had no impression of the maid." Man Niang looked at the woman in front of her, and there seemed to be no change from the original appearance, but she was still as beautiful: "It's just that Mei Niang plays the pipa well and often lets Ah Lang stay overnight, and Mrs. is resentful and complains a lot." The maid remembers Mei Niang. ”

"Didn't you say that my brother and sister are the concubines of the Zhou Mansion? Who is this Mei Niang? Xie Jian walked in from the outside, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be confused, and stepped forward to ask.

"Mei Niang is the aunt of the Zhou Mansion, and she looks a little similar to me, I'm afraid that Man Niang is mistaken." Zhou's words are so stable that people can't find fault: "You see that I also have a birthmark when I get started, and everyone in the Zhou Mansion knows it." ”

Zhou wanted to show the birthmark on his wrist, but there was a foreign man, and his face showed some embarrassment.

"I'll accompany my wife to the inner room." Song Lier knew the appearance of the birthmark from Manniang's mouth, and took Manniang and Zhou into the room together.

When he arrived in the room, Zhou's generously revealed the birthmark: "Manniang, I didn't recognize you because of the recent events in the house, and because I didn't have a deep impression of you, because I expected such a joke to happen today." ”

"It's the maid who is clumsy, and she actually recognizes the lady as Mei Niang." Man Niang lowered her head, thinking of the assassination that night, and panicked.

Zhou smiled generously: "It's okay, it's good to ask Song Niangzi to testify for me." ”

"It's nature." Song Lier looked at Zhou, her skin could be broken by blowing, although there was no makeup embellishment, but the beautiful mold made people can't stand a few more glances.

Out of the room, Song Li'er walked ahead and shook her head at Jiang Zhu. Man Niang followed behind Zhou, and when she got outside, Man Niang seemed to have mustered up enough courage to turn behind Jiang Zhu: "Jiang Shaoqing, the mark on Madame's body is fake." Although Zhou Xiaoniang had marks on her body, she was accidentally burned when she was ten years old, and the marks were covered by scars, which is not like this. ”

Zhou lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Manniang is the flower and grass in A-Niang's yard, how can I know more than myself?" I was burned, but I had it removed with scar cream. ”

"This" Manniang really has no words to reply.

"Come on." Jiang Zhu didn't say much on this issue, and only let the other person who followed him come out: "I don't know if Madame remembers this person." ”

Zhou shook the handkerchief in his hand, looked at the man in front of him, skinny, yellow, a clearly visible mole at the corner of his mouth, looking at her, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off, and he couldn't help but dislike: "I haven't seen it." ”

"Mei Niang, don't you remember me?" Zhou had never seen it, but the man was already so excited that his whole body was trembling, and he wanted to pull Zhou's hand, but he felt that his hands were dirty, and he cowered and put them on his sides, and he was also uneasy: "Mei Niang, after so many years, you still haven't changed." ”

"Jiang Shaoqing, what kind of person are you and me, and you actually put such a person in front of my eyes." Zhou frowned, displeased.

"Since Madame doesn't know her, then the lower official will tell Madame a story." Jiang Zhu seemed to have expected that things would not end so simply.

"There is a lady in the Hu family in Yangming County who is as beautiful as a fairy, her hands are like soft wattles, her skin is like clotted fat, her collar is like a grub, her teeth are like a rhinoceros, her head is like a moth, her smile is smiling, and her eyes are beautiful. It's a pity that her status is low, and she can only marry into the Shengzhou Wang family and become Wang Erlang's concubine, and everyone in the world sighs. Hu Niangzi felt good in her heart, but Wang Erlang had a bad relationship with his wife, but she treated her sincerely. Within two months, Hu Niangzi was pregnant, but unexpectedly, the happy event turned into a sad event, and Wang Erlang wanted to beat the child in Hu Niangzi's belly. Hu Niangzi was unwilling, so Wang Erlang made a ruthless move and personally sent Hu Niangzi's child away. The child is gone, but Wang Erlang's treatment of Hu Niangzi has not changed, but he just lets her drink shunzi soup every time. When things couldn't be hidden, Hu Niangzi learned that her dead child was actually a slave by Wang Erlang's side, how could the slave defile the master? That was naturally agreed by Wang Erlang. When Mrs. Hu learned the truth, she didn't make any noise or trouble, and first married her beautiful maid to the Kang family as a concubine. He poisoned Wang Erlang and became a widow. ”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

Then Mrs. Hu changed her face, followed her maid to Jiangnan, and met the Zhou family. With her beauty, she married into the Zhou Mansion and became a concubine, known as Mei Niang. Zhou Dalang also treated Mrs. Hu very well, but this time Mrs. Hu was on guard. But after all, he couldn't stand Zhou Dalang's care. It's just that the good times don't last long, Zhou Dalang loves to get drunk, and at first he was drunk and messed around, but later he was ruthless to Hu Niangzi, more and more ruthless every time. The Zhou family also turned a blind eye to this, and even Zhou Dalang's wife persuaded Mrs. Hu to admit a beautiful aunt to Zhou Dalang, and she could be relieved. Mrs. Hu naturally refused, thinking about consoling Zhou Dalang. Zhou Dalang has become a drunkard at this time, where can he still listen. A drunken drunk directly broke Hu Niangzi's legs. The Zhou Mansion still didn't ask, which made Hu Niangzi completely dead. teamed up with the maid who had married into the Kang family and poisoned all the people in the Zhou Mansion. ”

"The people of the Zhou Mansion are gone, and it is easy for the concubines of the Zhou family to take the risk of not going out. The tragedy of being poisoned made Xie Yushi feel distressed, and soon included Mei Niang, or Hu Niangzi, who was already the concubine of the Zhou family, into the mansion. ”

Zhou Shi was already sitting on the stool after hearing this, there was no blood on his face, and the hand holding the armrest of the chair had already sunk his nails into it.

"Hu Niangzi originally thought that things would end like this, and her life would be happy after that."

Zhou raised his head and his face was already full of tears, and his face became hideous: "It's a pity that Xie Yushi is not a good thing, he is ambiguous with the slaves around him in the house, and he is still raising prostitutes outside, how do you say Hu Niangzi's life is lived?" Widowed? ”
