Song Wanjing came back early today, but her face was not very good.

"Brother, isn't Dali Temple busy today?" Song Lier jumped out of the carriage and saw Song Wanjing standing at the door waiting for her.

Song Wanjing didn't answer, and saw that Song Li'er's dress took up a lot of soil: "Let them do these things in the future, just watch from the side." ”

"That's all I know. If I don't do anything, I'll be the most wasted person in the house. Song Lier patted the soil on her body indifferently: "Did you encounter something?" I just saw you with a heavy face. ”

"Let's eat." After Liu San's death, the clues of the case were completely interrupted, and in the past few days, everyone in Dali Temple was looking for clues, but there were no clues.

Song Li'er didn't force her to ask, and told Song Wanjing about some interesting things she encountered in the Li Mansion today, which made him happier.

Early the next morning, both siblings went out together.

Song Li'er took people to the Li Mansion to plant medicinal herbs. After Xie said hello to Song Li'er, he left a few people to help and went to do other things.

The Li Mansion is not small, and it still takes some time to get busy. Song Li'er was not idle, and took Xiguo and Meilan to choose a yard to help plant.

"Lady, you rest on the side, let's do it." Xiguo and Mei Lan both stopped Song Li'er and didn't let her do it.

Song Li'er was neat and tidy, and directly took a small hoe and chiseled it next to her: "Let you plant, I'm afraid that I won't be able to plant a single plant in a day." ”

The hoe chiseled down and touched something: "Come here, help me move the stones." ”

"Lady, this doesn't seem to be a stone." Xiguo squatted down and saw a blank field.

Song Li'er glanced at it and squatted down. He also looked at Xiguo with a strange look: "Isn't this a white stone?" ”

Peeling off a little soil, what was revealed was a piece of white bone, Song Li'er instantly stiffened, and her face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

"Lady, what should I do about this?" Xiguo squatted down and sat down.

"It's okay, I'll cover it now. Go outside and watch to prevent anyone from coming in. Song Li'er exhaled, trying to calm herself down. Avoid the bones and plant pulsatilla flowers. When she stood up, Song Lier's legs were weak.

Song Li'er was slow here, and the others came over to help later. Song Lier didn't interfere anymore, just watched from the side. Nothing was found.

By noon, Xie brought someone to bring the food.

"Everyone's worked hard, let's have lunch first." took out a handkerchief and wiped Song Li'er's hands: "You just follow me to the yard to eat." Don't be busy in the afternoon, you can see that your face is a little pale. ”

Song Li'er subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, and smiled awkwardly: "My hands are too dirty, so don't get my lady's hands dirty." ”

"I care about it." Xie asked Song Li'er to take her to wash up and prepare a hearty lunch.

If it was on weekdays, Song Lier would have a big appetite. At this time, I only felt dizzy and lost my appetite.

Sending herbs to the Li Mansion is not once or twice. Song Lier has done a lot of it herself, but she has never found anything unusual. Today's events surprised Song Lier, and she couldn't calm down in her heart.

"Madam" Song Li'er didn't finish speaking, she only felt a toss in her stomach, ran to the door, and spit it out directly.

Xie Shi was taken aback when he saw this: "Hurry up and help the little lady to go in and rest." Lotus, hurry up and ask for a Langzhong. ”

Song Li'er grabbed Xie's hand: "It's okay, I'm just too hungry because I didn't eat in the morning." ”

"Then I'll have someone prepare a bowl of millet porridge for you." Xie helped Song Li'er to sit down: "Ah Lang also has stomach pain, and I have repeatedly instructed him to eat on weekdays. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Song Lier knew that her body was not very comfortable now, and she didn't force herself.

Drink the porridge, take a rest, and wait for your body to recover. Song Li'er instructed Ah Hu to stay and take care of the herbs, and then took people back to the house.

Sitting in the courtyard, I couldn't help but think about the white bones I saw in the Li Mansion, and my heart was very uneasy.

"Xiguo, gather everyone together."

The people who were brought to the Li Mansion today, except for Ah Hu who stayed behind, the other nine people have all returned: "Did you see anything wrong in the Li Mansion today?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

Song Li'er let out a sigh of relief, but fortunately, she just saw it. It's just that Li Shilang is a good official who is praised by others, how did this kind of pickled behavior appear in his house?

I couldn't help but think of Xie in my mind. The thought flashed, and it was dispelled by Song Lier herself.

The Li Mansion, which Xie only entered the year before last, is shrewd, but sincere; Although he is strict with his subordinates, he rewards and punishes them in moderation.

I really can't think of a matter of course, but after all, it is a human life, so Song Lier has to wait for Song Wanjing to go down to the public and discuss with him.

Unfortunately, Song Lier waited until the evening to learn that Song Wanjing was going to be on duty tonight and would not come back tomorrow morning.

Eaten. Song Lier walked in the courtyard to eat, and she didn't feel like she had walked to the gate as she walked. I still decided to go to Dali Temple: "Xiguo, accompany me to Dali Temple." ”

Song Lier turned her head and found that Xiguo was not behind her, only to remember that Xiguo was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she went to the house to get a big coat and didn't follow. I had to say goodbye to the doorman and go out.

At this hour, most of the gates were locked, and there were only a few people on the streets. Song Lier didn't go out much at night, and when she was hesitant to go back to the house, she saw a girl wearing a hat and hurriedly walking by. Curious, Song Lier quietly followed.

I saw that the girl entered the back door of the Li Mansion, and Song Lier wanted to step forward and prepare to climb over the wall. was pulled by someone, and was about to speak, but even his mouth was covered. I smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance that was somewhat familiar, and it came to my ears: "It's me." Song Li'er quieted down.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhu let go of his hand: "Leave first." ”

Song Li'er went to see that there was no one in the place again, nodded, and left with Jiang Zhu.

"Why are you here?" Song Lier said curiously.

"That's supposed to be for you." Jiang Zhu really didn't expect Song Li'er to be so bold. In the past few days, I have heard about some of Song Lier's past "chivalrous deeds", could it be that she came out tonight to rob the rich and save the poor? However, the clothes on this body are a little bright, and it is difficult not to be noticed.

"What are you looking at me for?" Song Li'er noticed Jiang Zhu's gaze at her and looked at herself. Only then did I find that I was wearing a pale yellow robe, even if it was extremely conspicuous in the night. coughed embarrassedly, explaining the reason why he was here: "I want to go to Dali Temple to find my brother, I just saw the girl walking towards the back door of the Li Mansion with a hat at night, and I felt strange and followed." What about you? ”

Jiang Zhu saw that Song Li'er was waiting for his answer, but he had no such plan. A sentence of "business" is an answer.

"Cut."

"What's the matter with your brother? He was on night duty. If there's something urgent, I'll take you there. Jiang Zhu took Song Li'er to a safer location with some lights. I asked about it.

"There's no hurry, it's the same as you." The Song family is in the east, Dali Temple is in the west, and it is still some distance to walk over. Now that Jiang Zhu is here, it is convenient to say it directly.

Jiang Zhu was surprised, he and Song Lier are very familiar?

"Talk as you go." Let's send people back to the house.

"I have been planting medicinal herbs in Li Shilang's mansion for the past two days, and today I found buried human bones in a flower garden in a courtyard." Song Li'er knew that Jiang Zhu wouldn't believe herself: "You don't have to believe me, I have been to Yizhuang and seen human bones under Chen Xueqing's prayers before. And Chen Xueqing often talks in my ear about the appearance of human bones, so I'm sure I'm not mistaken. ”

Jiang Zhu was silent for a while, and looked at Song Li'er seriously.

"If it's true, then that's the end of it. Don't talk to anyone else. ”

Jiang Zhu was previously interrupted because of Liu San's death. Song Li'er's words undoubtedly provided a very important clue for their current situation, but I am afraid that they have already startled the snake.

"You mean you believe me?" Song Li'er didn't expect Jiang Zhu to directly trust her words. After all, it's still strange for a woman to be familiar with human bones.

"Yes." Jiang Zhu said lightly: "Go back to the house and rest early, I will inform Gu Yuejun about today's incident." ”

Song Wanjing, the word Guyue.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just say so." The murder is a matter for the government, and she has fulfilled her responsibilities.

When she arrived at the Song Mansion, Song Lier thanked her. I was about to leave, and it occurred to me.

"Does this have anything to do with Liu San?" If it is related to Liu San, then she can't stand by and watch.

"Nothing to do." Jiang Zhu decisively cut off Song Li'er's thoughts to prevent her from doing anything amazing.

Jiang Zhu replied too quickly, Song Li'er's brain was not slow, and she noticed something: "Liu San's death is indirectly caused by me." So, I need to know about it. ”

"Liu San's death has nothing to do with you. Before he was kicked by you, he had already been poisoned by the Cao family. The portions are light, and I didn't notice it. When the body's resistance is weak, it will be revealed. And the Cao family couldn't wait for Liu San to die slowly, and added herbs to the sachet that matched it. led to Liu San's death speeding up the process. This is the whole reason for Liu San's death, blame him for not making it clear. made Song Lier increase the burden in her heart for no reason.

When Song Lier heard this, the guilt in her heart still hadn't completely dissipated, even if she had already arranged Liu San's children and A-Niang. The fact that Liu San's death was accelerated by her still tormented her heart. And the source lies in the case in which Jiang Zhu wanted to arrest Liu San as a witness.

Jiang Zhu's oil and salt did not enter, and Song Lier also said that it was on fire. But he couldn't do anything to Jiang Zhu, so he made a face at Jiang Zhu and entered the mansion.

Jiang Zhu smiled.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Xin, who were hidden in the dark, thought that they were in a trance.

But at that moment, Jiang Zhu returned to his usual appearance.

"Go look it up."

Jiang Zhu didn't linger any longer, and went back to the house to look through some clues he had found before. This case has spanned states and counties for some years, and Jiang Zhu must investigate it clearly this time.
