Shen Mengzhi's guess was quickly confirmed, but after a while, the Yawei came to Dali Temple and invited her to Lushui Pavilion, saying that there was a murder and it was related to her.

When I went to the Lushui Pavilion, the outside of the Lushui Pavilion was already full of people, and the three layers inside and the outer three layers surrounded the pavilion tightly, but all of them were stopped outside by the guards of the Dali Temple, and they were close to the inside of the pavilion.

The guards took Shen Mengzhi in, and inside the pavilion, there were already people waiting.

In addition to the several guards who stood on the side holding the lamp, there were also Meng Jiangnan, Qingyan, and Meng Henan, who was standing by the railing with his back to her and "hiding his face and crying".

At the foot of the stone table in the center of the pavilion, Aunt Qiao was lying there motionless, not even breathing, she should be dead.

The pool of blood under Aunt Qiao's body seemed to glow with a ghostly light under the illumination of the lantern, and it had a terrifying color in the dark night.

As soon as the cold wind passed, the smell of blood came to the face, and the smell was disgustingly strong.

Mengjiangnan, who was originally standing next to Menghenan, walked to Shen Mengzhi's side and said, "Miss Shen, someone presented a paper to Dali Temple, saying that you were related to the murder of Lushui Pavilion. This case is the responsibility of this official, if Miss Shen has anything, she can speak out. ”

Needless to say, the complaint was submitted by Menghenan, and it was she Shen Mengzhi who sued her.

At this point, it is already very clear that it is for the sake of retiring relatives, for the death of the She family, that is, Menghenan wants to ask her for an explanation.

Meng Henan set up a killing game, just to find a high-sounding reason to kill her.

Dali Temple also saw Menghenan's intentions clearly, so he delegated power and sent Menghenan to take over this matter.

does not take the case to the court, but ends it in this Lushui Pavilion, which is also a favor for Meng Jiangnan, and let Meng Jiangnan decide what to do by himself.

Is it as Menghenan wants, or to make things clear, to put it bluntly, it's just a matter of Mengjiangnan's words......

Shen Mengzhi looked at Aunt Qiao's corpse and said, "Let's listen to what the prefect said." ”

He didn't dare to delay, and after checking carefully, he immediately reported, "The fatal thing is the hairpin." ”

Aunt Qiao inserted a golden hairpin in her chest, which submerged through her chest, passed through her chest, and stabbed out in the back.

All the blood came out of this.

With Meng Jiangnan's permission, he pulled out the hairpin, washed the bloodstains, and presented it to Shen Mengzhi and Meng Jiangnan.

The pattern is clear and clear, and it is not Tilian. Shen Mengzhi saw at a glance that it was the one she was missing, but in fact, she didn't have to look at it to know that it could only be that one......

Menghe Nan turned around suddenly, glanced at the hairpin in his hand, and pointed his index finger at Shen Mengzhi, "That's Shen Mengzhi's hairpin!" ”

Shen Mengzhi asked unhurriedly, "How are you sure it's mine?" ”

"I've seen you wear it!"

"Worn it? When? ”

"Today, and before you went to the Yiguo Mansion, I saw you wear it more than once!"

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure!"

Hearing Menghenan's sworn answer, Shen Mengzhi smiled noncommittally.

At this time, Mama Li walked out from behind Shen Mengzhi and said to everyone, "This is the old lady's thing, it was given to the girl a few days ago, and it was given after the girl came to the door to leave her relatives...... The girl has only been to the Righteous Kingdom Mansion once since then......"

Mama Li stopped and didn't say any more.

Shen Mengzhi only went to the Yiguo Mansion once after retiring from his family, that is, when he took everyone to the She family to ask for an explanation, but accidentally broke the good deeds of the She family.

That night, things were in an uproar, and they almost turned the capital upside down, and only Meng Henan who was present didn't know what the specific scene was.

Because, Menghenan is out playing, not in the house.

But since Menghenan is not in the mansion, where did he see Shen Mengzhi wearing that golden hairpin?

It was clear that Menghenan was lying.

"There are so many golden hairpins, so many that they are almost the same. Men are no better than women, and they never care about these subtleties, and it is difficult to say if they are dazzled for a while. ”

It was not Meng Henan who spoke, but Qingyan.

Qingyan sat on the bamboo bench next to the railing, lowered her head, and couldn't see the look on her face, but kept fiddling with the jade pendant hanging on her belt, picking up and putting down the colorful silk thread hanging at the lower end of the jade pendant, putting it down and picking it up, so repeatedly, as if she was extremely bored, but her tone was calm, and she couldn't hear the slightest impatience.

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Shen Mengzhi, his eyes innocent, "I'm sorry, I'm quick to talk for a while, and I don't know if I said something wrong." ”

Shen Mengzhi ignored Qingyan and turned to look at Mengjiangnan, "I don't know what it says in that paper?" ”

Three points are mentioned in the pleading.

Aunt Qiao was asked to Lushui Pavilion.

In the Lushui Pavilion, there was an argument with Shen Mengzhi, and there were witnesses.

After Shen Mengzhi left, Aunt Qiao was found dead in the Lushui Pavilion.

"Who is the witness, what did he see, what did he hear?" Shen Mengzhi asked.

"It's the people in the neighborhood, who come to fetch air-dried vegetables at this hour every day, saying that they only heard Aunt Qiao scolding Miss Shen and letting Miss Shen die, and Miss Shen saying that she was ...... said that Mrs. Meng's first seven days had not passed, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to listen to it, so he hurried away. After going back, I found that I forgot to take the water chestnut and turned back, only to find that Aunt Qiao had died in the Lushui Pavilion. Meng Jiangnan said patiently.

He added, "The witness said that the time of Miss Shen's departure was at the same point as the time of the deceased's death. ”

Mengjiang Nan said, "If Miss Shen feels that something is wrong, she can ask that person in person." ”

Shen Mengzhi shook his head and said that there was no need.

So the witness she met on the way was when she got the half of the incense and went back.

At that time, she felt that the man passed by her with his head bowed, and his steps were fast, as if he was afraid of her, she thought that it was because of She's affairs, which made people afraid, and she never thought that there would be such a stubble in the middle.

That person, she knew, was nothing more than a simple and honest man, who made a living by selling vegetables and vegetables, and did a small business to support his family.

Maybe it was really a coincidence, and when she heard her arguing with Aunt Qiao, she ran away, and she didn't even know that there was a dream in the pavilion.

It's just that being able to pinch the time so accurately, and not even need to buy a person to make a false certificate, so not revealing flaws, it really doesn't seem like something that Meng Henan can do.

Shen Mengzhi looked at Qingyan.

Aunt Qiao was invited to Lushui Pavilion, and she didn't come here for no reason.
