Chapter 244: Sudden Death

Just after Xiao Qinglang asked Xu Qinhe to send someone to escort these people away one by one, he saw someone stumbling and running, and shouted: "Oh no, no, Miss Qiu was killed by the demon girl surnamed Chu with a spell......

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu got acquainted with each other and understood each other. Naturally, there is no one to stop it.

So, the maid fell to her knees in horror, crying and saying, "My lord, Miss Qiu was killed by the demon girl brought by Zhou Gongzi. I beg the adults to send someone to take a look......"

When she didn't hear the sound and quietly looked up, she was surprised to find that it was not her own master and others in front of her. Only the people she accused were left, looking at her meaningfully.

Suddenly, she shuddered, turned to Xu Qinhe tremblingly, and continued to tell the tragic situation.

"My lord, my young lady kindly invited her to the birthday banquet, but I didn't expect her to frame Miss Qiu by such means."

Xu Qinhe saw her blindly crying and biting Xu Chu, and he was already extremely impatient in his heart, so his tone when he opened his mouth was naturally not kind.

"It's ridiculous to open and close your mouth. Do you have any evidence to identify Miss Xu as a murderer? If not, the officer will not be able to punish you for false accusation. ”

The maid was reprimanded, and she was already confused, so she only kowtowed again and again, and said, "My lord is wronged, that demon girl used witchcraft in public." Before she took the seat at that time, she had said a few words to Miss Qiu, and then Miss Qiu was unsettled, and she seemed to be evil. ”

As the group arrived in the backyard, the ladies who had already been frightened seemed to have a backbone. Although they have not yet found that the person who came is different from what they imagined, and even the father of the family has never been with him, it does not prevent them from testifying against Xu Chu.

"What we saw with our own eyes was that she lowered her head to the Qiu family's sister, making the Qiu family's sister seem to be a different person in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, yes, the younger sister of the Qiu family has always had a good temperament, and she is also known for her courage. However, after confronting her for a few words, he was suddenly terrified. ”

"And she also said that there is a starving ghost behind the sister of the Qiu family, and it seems that the evil ghost wants to possess her sister's body!"

As bursts of noisy voices sounded one after another, Xiao Qinglang couldn't help frowning, he looked at Zhang Fu'er and the others condescendingly, and only after a long time did he sneer and say: "Since you are so swearing, then let the work brought by Lord Xu and Xu Chu perform an autopsy in public, right and wrong, and let the corpse speak." ”

Zhang Fu'er pretended to pat the hand on the back of the little sister next to her with a soothing look, and looked at Xiao Qinglang with a confused expression. saw him in a brocade robe, standing against the light, and his every move was a noble temperament, which made her dare not look directly but hoped for it.

She hesitated for a moment, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Why is he still giving orders so magnificently, why are his aunts, uncles and several adults missing, and even the housekeeper has not appeared?

This is too different from what my uncle told me before. According to yesterday's plan, the rich man who embarrassed her now, but made her difficult to let go, should have become a prisoner. When the time comes, she only needs to help him when he is most depressed and difficult, regardless of his previous suspicions, and his uncle will operate from it, so that he must surrender to him.

When there was an incident in the front hall, she designed to frame Xu Chu again. In this way, both soft and hard, whether it is self-protection or for a servant girl's head to break the blood flow, then Zhou Yunlang will naturally have a good amount.

It's just that now it seems that everything is different, and the thought of this makes her heart sink even more. However, the expression on his face still showed no traces, only anxious and worried.

Xu Chu looked at the panicked and trembling female dependents, and finally set his eyes on Zhang Fu'er, who was pale. She can probably understand that this may have been discussed between Liu Rangmo and Zhang Fu'er, but the former intended to put herself and Xiao Qinglang to death, while the latter was probably for ...... Coveting beauty.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. I don't know if Zhang Fuer will regret her stupidity if she learns the truth in the future. Liu Rangmo, who was regarded as an elder by himself, was a gunman, and later coveted people who should not be coveted.

But thinking about it, she still subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and said secretly: This appearance is really easy to attract the wind.

Xiao Qinglang was glanced at by Xu Chu's eyes, and his body involuntarily straightened up, and he thought bitterly, this is really a vain mistake. He never thought about looking for any peach blossoms, he just thought about cleaning his body and being clean with Xiao Chu.

Xu Qinhe got the order, and replied: "Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates will let people conduct an autopsy with Miss Xu." ”

When he said this, the audience was silent. Not to mention those who just accused Xu Chu of disliking, even Zhang Fu'er couldn't help but feel weak and almost fell down.

If he is the prince, then ...... That aunt and uncle......

Her heart was cold, but there was a sad look on her face, and she knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "Lord Wang, this woman has killed the sister of the Qiu family, how can the prince still let her sister perform an autopsy?" Even if the prince values her and is more in love with her than Jinjian, he shouldn't cover her up like this. If ordinary people have an incident, they will avoid suspicion, why should she make an exception? ”

I have to say that Zhang Fuer's words are particularly righteous and righteous, and people can't find half of what can be refuted. What's more, she directly distorted Xiao Qinglang's meaning into the two of them planning to bend the law for personal gain because of their personal relationship.

Xu Chu frowned, avoiding suspicion has always been human nature. If the other party insists on this, she really can't force herself forward.

What's more, exposing the relationship between her and Xiao Qinglang in public, once it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will give Xiao Qinglang, the king of Jing'an, a reputation that makes him faint.

Although she didn't know the situation in the imperial court, she knew that many people were staring at Xiao Qinglang in the dark. Inside and outside the government and the opposition, countless people regard him as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the flesh, and they can't get rid of it. If there is a stain on him, I am afraid that he will not be attacked in the future.

Xiao Qinglang saw Xu Chu's worries, and instantly understood her scruples. However, his reputation has long been mixed, and he doesn't need to care about this star.

After all, for many officials in the DPRK and China, he acted too hard and ruthless in deciding cases. But for the people and the victims of unjust imprisonment, his existence is as reassuring and admirable as a protective god.

Therefore, in contrast, the accusations of the DPRK and Chinese officials and the powerful people did not make him hesitate.

So, he sneered, looked at Zhang Fu'er's eyes and said coldly: "Miss Zhang is articulate, but in the regulations promulgated by the Three Law Divisions of the Great Zhou Dynasty on officials and post-mortems in various places, there is no provision that you must not clear your name. If you want to say it, there is only one clause: 'All prosecutors, in the case of overnight stays, must ask whether their family is a blood relative of the murderer, so as not to be suspected', which can be far-fetched to restrain the argument of avoiding suspicion. ”

"It's just that now it's daylight, and in front of everyone's eyes, there is a testimony brought by Lord Xu himself. Second, many officers and soldiers from the capital testified. Naturally, there is nothing to avoid suspicion......"

The sunlight shone obliquely through the rockery and fell on Xiao Qinglang's face that seemed to be smiling, but it made Zhang Fu'er shiver subconsciously.

"If Miss Zhang can still stop it, then the official sent someone to find Master Qiu and asked him to write down his wish to let Xu Cheng as proof of his daughter's corpse, which is not difficult."

While he was speaking, Wei Guang had already instructed the guards to do it. At this time, the old man of the Qiu family was full of panic, and when he got the message from the guards, he naturally didn't dare to ask more, and even didn't dare to pause for a moment to write down the note.

In this way, Xu Chu's autopsy has become a matter of course, and others naturally dare not say anything.

Zhang Fu'er's face was blue and ugly when she was smashed by such merciless words, but she wanted to say something, but she found that she didn't know how to refute it at all. One is that he has no position, and the other is that he is quite weak under the cold sight of that person.

Xu Chu didn't care about the turbulent situation between others, she neatly took out her mask and gloves and put them on, and then stepped forward to check Miss Qiu's pupils. But I saw that Miss Qiu's pupils were already dilated, her breathing, heartbeat, and pulse were completely absent, and she was undoubtedly dead.

She glanced around and saw the corpses lying on the side of the rockery, which had a novel and ingenious structure, towering layers, but not abrupt.

After observing the surrounding situation, Xu Chu and Li Chengzuo examined the corpse.

The corpse was very fresh, and even had some body temperature. Moreover, the deceased's face was slightly red, as if he was just sleeping, so when Xu Chu took off the deceased's clothes naked, many people looked embarrassed and didn't know where to look.

However, because of Xiao Qinglang's cold coercion, as well as Xu Chu's calm and calm, no one dared to open his mouth to reprimand at this time.

What's more, no matter how beautiful and exquisite that corpse is, it is just a corpse. But any normal person would never have a blasphemous mind against a corpse.

The corpse's face was slightly distorted, but there were no signs of injury or bleeding on the body. And, what is even more strange is that the corpse, which is obviously just dead, is now stiffened.

Li Qizuo was full of doubts in his heart, but no matter how careful he was, he came to the conclusion that the corpse was mortised, and the time of death must be at least an hour.

Xu Chu reached out and pressed the lower jaw of the corpse a few times, carefully checked the neck of the deceased, and reached out to caress it.

Her movements are very gentle, just like the touch between lovers/people, but it makes many people feel cold all over their bodies. Just like usual, everyone looked at her with a little more disgust and disgust.
