As her words sounded, Mo said that the cold air on the soles of everyone's feet rushed up, and the woman in yellow exclaimed in surprise and began to tremble with her hands on her knees. She shook her head indiscriminately and shouted, "You are talking nonsense, it's not my fault, it's not my fault......"

Such a strange scene instantly made the room fall silent. Even the people who were attached to Zhang Fu'er and flattered her subconsciously dodged back.

Everyone is not stupid, just before Xu Chu entered the house, Zhang Fu'er had been bullied by Xu Chu in and out of her words. It is precisely because of this that in order to tie up Liu Rangmo and Zhang Fu'er, they discussed to give Xu Chu a dismissal.

But now it seems that the dismount was not given, but the strange Xu Chu used the demon method to scare the Qiu family girl who was the first to provoke.

Xu Chu didn't care about the eyes of others, just sipping tea. After seeing the kumquat on the table, I ate two with great interest.

To be honest, Zhang Fu'er was also shocked by this sudden situation. However, no matter how much she hated and frightened her heart, she had to open her mouth and say tentatively: "Miss Chu, this matter is wrong with the Qiu family's sister, but she doesn't mean to despise you." Why don't you look at my face, you raise your noble hand and let her go? ”

In fact, now, not to mention the young ladies who have always been pampered in the boudoir, even Zhang Fuer, who claims to be well-informed, has been suppressed. However, when she thought of her uncle's words and the background and life experience she overheard about Zhou Yunlang, the injustice in her heart became more and more tumbling.

Xu Chu's gaze swept over Zhang Fu'er, who was still pretending to be calm and generous, and sneered: "For the time being, regardless of whether your face is good or not, let's just say that your Qiu family sister looks like this, and it is really not that I used any spells." It's just that she has a ghost in her heart, and she is scared by herself. ”

However, having said that, she actually didn't really want to make a big deal about the movement, attracting Liu Rangmo, Song Derong and others. Therefore, after a little thought, she still got up and walked towards the woman in yellow, pulled up her right hand in disgust, and between the needles in her hand, she stabbed the two points of her Lao Gong and Shaoshang with silver needles.

After the woman in yellow woke up, she didn't dare to provoke Xu Chu anymore, and she didn't even dare to look at her.

At this time, the attic was completely deserted. No one dared to be presumptuous in front of Xu Chu, who had a calm face but was full of strange skills. Even if they talked to each other, they slowed down their voices as much as possible so as not to alarm the woman who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea boredly.

The matter of the Qiu family's sister is really terrifying. In just a few words, it scared people out of the way, so how could they not be shocked?

I don't know how long it took, but the housekeeper outside finally knocked on the door, "Miss, ladies and gentlemen, the banquet has begun, and Madame has sent an old slave to invite Miss Extraordinaire to the flower hall for dinner." ”

With this news, the hearts of the young ladies became happy, and at last they did not have to be in the same room with the woman in fear.

With the lesson of the Qiu family's daughter, after everyone entered the table, when the wives of each family began to want to squeeze Xu Chu, they were all blocked by their own daughters. Not to mention the squeeze, even a few smart women began to quietly change the topic to the side.

Although those ladies had doubts, they were reluctant to tear down their daughters' platforms, and they also followed their daughter's words and talked about the side.

So, on the table, only Xu Chu, who was eating happily, was left. There are also Mrs. Liu's Zhang and Zhang Fu'er, who have gloomy faces but are very jealous. The rest of them were talking hilariously.

After the feast, the crowd began to visit the garden. This is not unexpected, after all, unlike the flower house of the Song Mansion, the layout and design of the Liu Mansion are mostly modeled after the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River, and there is also a huge flower stand in the garden.

The rockery barrier is stacked on top of each other, wearing willows and leaves, and it is elegant everywhere. The trickle of water passes behind the rockery, such as the hollow valley flute, and it is crisp and good to listen to like a jade plate falling pearls.

Xu Chu didn't get along with the crowd, but just leisurely wandered around the very end. Although her face was calm and unusual, she still subconsciously stared at Zhang Fu'er, so as not to be angry.

Obviously, Zhang Fu'er didn't plan to take Xu Chu to play with her, so when she proposed hide and seek, she didn't ask Xu Chu what he meant. And several ladies, looking at their daughters' eager appearance, also smiled helplessly.

As the ladies retreated to the water pavilion to rest, the ladies of each family took their maidservants to play and find a hiding place, and Xu Chu was completely idle.

But at this moment, there was a commotion in the front hall. Listening to the movement, it seems that something big has happened.

Mrs. Liu went to the steward next to her to inquire, and after a while, the steward replied that he had died. Wei Shanglong, the eldest son of the Wei family who came to the banquet, died suddenly after Xiao Qinglang's dispute.

When Mrs. Wei, who was curious about what was going on, heard this, she immediately fainted, causing everyone to be in chaos again. In the end, it was the housekeeper beside Mrs. Liu who was just in the middle of the crowd and fed sugar water to make people wake up.

It's just such a fuss, who still has the heart to get together again? Especially the ladies who were good friends with the Wei family, they hurriedly instructed the maidservants around them to send a message to their daughter, and then helped Mrs. Wei to go to the front hall together.

When Xu Chu arrived behind a few people, the front hall was already tense. It's just that the situation is obviously not beneficial to Xiao Qinglang, after all, only Wei Guang in front of him is clasped on the saber at his waist with both hands, and his expression is cold and with murderous intent.

And the rest of the fast arresting officials, as well as the subordinates of the Liu family with sticks, mostly protected the people of the Liu Mansion and surrounded Xiao Qinglang.

Xu Chu saw that Xiao Qinglang was not injured, and his heart was relieved. But when his eyes fell on the blood stained on his hand and the short knife stuck in the chest of the deceased, his heart chuckled again.

That short knife Xu Chu is no stranger, she has used it a few times, and even Xiao Qinglang intends to give it to himself for self-defense......

She quickly surveyed the scene, the tables, chairs, food, the posture of the deceased falling to the ground and the marks around her. After a moment, he looked thoughtfully at the lifeless corpse.

Just when she noticed something strange and wanted to think about it again. I saw that Mrs. Wei had already pounced on the corpse and cried so loudly that others couldn't pull it. Fortunately, because of the short knife on the corpse's chest, Mrs. Wei did not dare to move the corpse more, so the corpse was not moved.

"Zhou Yunlang, the old man heard that the world praised you as a rare master, so he kindly invited you to the banquet. But I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, and put others to death if you didn't agree with each other! Liu Rangmo frowned and looked distressed, "It's a shame that the old man and Lord Song trust you so much." ”

"What did the adults have to talk to him, but now he has obtained the stolen goods, and he cannot deny it."

"Yes, what Governor Zhao said is that we all saw it with our own eyes, and he stabbed the short knife into the chest of the Wei family's son, killing the Wei family's son on the spot."

Everyone, you say a word, obviously premeditated, and you are going to put Xiao Qinglang to death.

Liu Rangmo saw that everyone present had opened their mouths to prove it, and when he was satisfied, he immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he looked at Xiao Qinglang with heavy eyes, and said sharply: "Zhou Yunlang, what else do you have to say at this time?" Don't bow down and confess your sins! ”

Compared with Liu Rangmo and others' harsh words, Xiao Qinglang's demeanor was much calmer. He looked at everyone expressionlessly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Liu is too anxious, you have been an official for many years, is it possible that you don't know the murder process?" Now that the son of the Wei family has no breath, shouldn't he find someone for an autopsy first? ”

Liu Rangmo was stunned by his condensed and sarcastic eyes, and he always felt that there was indescribable coldness and ferocity in his indifferent smile. He subconsciously frowned, and his face became gloomy.

In fact, he is only suspicious of Zhou Yunlang's identity, but it is a matter of the overall situation, and he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. As for the side, even if he has a relationship with Tongtian, in the final analysis, he is just a businessman.

Even if he really pinched him to death, it was expected that the Zhou family would not dare to fight them with an egg or a stone. What's more, in terms of relationship, a bookstore that is not an imperial merchant is naturally not as good as Rong Gong, who once shocked the ministers of the court.

Thinking of this, Liu Rangmo decided that he was only afraid that he was just at the end of the crossbow now, so he was just making a fool of himself. Naturally, Liu Rangmo's gloomy face just now was slightly better, and he sneered in his heart: Could it be that he can still be a relative of the emperor?

"That's it, since you are so stubborn, then the official will convince you. Someone, please do it. ”

The one who came this time was not Li Zhuo, who was befriended by Xu Chu, but a middle-aged man with a face. Obviously, the situation set up today was planned by them a long time ago, so that they were not even willing to use the old works commonly used by the Yamen of Jinzhou City.

After inspecting it, he got up and said to Liu Rangmo: "My lord, Wei Gongzi was stabbed in the center of the mouth with a short knife and died. Wei Gongzi had no side injuries on his body, only this fatal wound. ”

In addition, there was blood staining on the clothes, which was obviously an unintentional trace of the murderer's murder. Based on this, it is speculated that the murderer's hands should have been stained with blood. ”

Liu Rangmo's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved almost inaudibly, but after a moment, he regained his previous sad and indignant expression.

"Now, what words do you have to quibble?"

That appearance really interprets the image of a good official who is just but heartache very well.

"If you don't say a word and commit murder in public, such a vicious person, even if he has a lot of money, this official will definitely bring him to justice."

After that, he closed his eyes and coldly ordered: "Come on, escort him to me, open the court early tomorrow morning for interrogation, and comfort Wei Gongzi's spirit in the sky." If there is resistance, it will be killed. ”

With the previous sentence of extreme ferocity, it seems that the killing order at this time also has a bit of righteous words. Besides, Mrs. Wei, who was crying and dying to ask Zhou Yunlang to pay for his life, and the people that Liu Rangmo had already arranged, even if some people felt strange, they refused to provoke right and wrong at this time.
