In the long corridor, Shangguan Jingyu walked briskly, and the housekeeper bowed down beside him to explain his doubts, "Because of the rain for several days, the water in the well has skyrocketed. Only then did he teach his subordinates to notice something unusual. ”

"Bi'er's body was found in a very secluded well near the garden wall, and the well was not used for ordinary laundry and cooking, but only for watering the garden, so no one has found it."

"Now that it's raining all day after day, the garden doesn't have to be watered, and I don't know who put the lid on it. When the servant passed by, he felt a strange smell, so he opened the well, and then realized that there was a person soaked in it. ”

"When I look at it, it's already unrecognizable. The old slave thought that there had been no loss of population in the house recently, and only one Bi'er was missing. That's why Su Yue from Xinghua Pavilion came over to take a look, and Su Yue recognized it at a glance, there was no doubt that it was Bi'er. ”

The old slave thought, Xu is this Bi'er saw that the young lady was really angry, and she was timid for a while, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the well. This girl, who is so young, can't think about it, but dares to make Miss angry, it's really ......"

Shangguan Jingyu paused, his eyes were slightly cold, "Butler, how do you know that Bi'er committed suicide?" The government has not yet decided the case, and it is too early for you to make a conclusion. ”

The housekeeper was stunned, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, the old slave is talkative, and the old slave said so." ”

"You can't take medicine indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. Is there less trouble that comes out of the mouth? She glanced at the butler and walked away.

Bi'er's body had been recovered and placed in a small pavilion next to the well.

This is the most secluded corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this pavilion usually holds pruning tools, and few people come except for the gardener. This well is only used for watering the plants and trees in the prefecture, and is not used for ordinary washing.

Before Shangguan Jingyu approached the pavilion, he already smelled the stench of **. Eyebrows, frowning, she turned her head to look at the pale plain face, "Are you afraid?" ”

Fleur pursed her lips and nodded, "The slave wants to ......"

She nodded, "Go and take a look." ”

Hearing this, Fleur stepped forward with courage.

The corpse lay on its side, covered only with a broken mat. The feet that were originally smooth are now white and foamy, and the stench is so smoky that people tumble in their stomachs, and they just want to gag.

Su Yan's face tightened, leaned over and lifted the mat, and said to Fuyuan, "Look at it!" ”

Fleur glanced at the face that had been blistered beyond recognition, and suddenly the contents of her stomach swelled up, and she hurriedly covered her lips and ran to an open space to vomit desperately.

"It's just a dead man." Su Yan looked at Bi'er's corpse, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wrapped it in his hand, and turned the corpse's head slightly. Fingertips pressed lightly, stroking the back of the corpse's neck.

Eyes, slightly sick, eyebrows, slightly frowned.

Shangguan Jingyu put his hand to his nose, "How?" ”

Without saying a word, he grabbed Bi'er's hand again, "There is a bruise left by gravity hitting on the back of the neck, and there is also an external force damage on the nails." I'm afraid it's not that simple! ”

"What is this?" Su Yan looked at a thin rope tied around the corpse's waist.

Shangguan Jingyu leaned over and squatted down, suddenly as if he remembered something, and instantly looked around.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" The housekeeper was puzzled.

She didn't answer, but walked briskly towards a small pile of rocks not far away. There are potholes on the ground, some of which have been covered in muddy water due to the rain, but some are too large to be filled.

"Go and see if there's anything else in the well?" Shangguan Jingyu got up.

"What did you find?" I don't know if I don't have makeup.

The butler continued to stir people with sticks in the well for a long time, when suddenly someone shouted, "Something! ”

Shangguan Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward, and what he salvaged was a piece of torn cloth, which came from Bi'er. Tightly, there is no half-spread pool.

"This ...... Why don't you wait for the prime minister to come back and then make a decision? The butler said.

"He was the one who killed." No makeup.

The housekeeper was stunned, "How can you see it?" ”

Without makeup, he raised his eyebrows, "Will you tear off a piece of cloth, wrap a stone around your waist, and then commit suicide by jumping into a well?" With this kung fu and brain, it is better to climb the wall and escape. What's more, even if it's a thief, it won't give you a life! ”

The housekeeper was dumbfounded.

Not far away, Su Yue stood silently, looking at Bi'er who was lying motionless on the ground.

was once a beautiful girl, but now she is unrecognizable.

She took a deep breath, then bowed her head and remained silent.

"Since it's from Xinghua Pavilion, what about the sixth aunt?" Shangguan Jingyu asked.

Su Yue stepped forward and saluted, "Miss forgive me, the sixth aunt can't see such a scene." When I heard that it might be Bi'er, I was so sad that I fainted. Nowadays......"

She sneered and laughed contemptuously, "In this world, apart from the sinister human heart, what is so sad and terrible? ”

Su Yue was silent.

"Ah Jing, this matter?" Su Yan couldn't make up his mind, "Do you want to report to the official?" ”

"My father is an official." Her eyes were dark and slightly bitter, "My father is not here, and I can still report to the government." Now...... Do you think the government will dare to take this case? ”

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "If it is reported to the official, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion." This matter is dealt with in private, and Bi'er is still treated as missing. ”

The housekeeper bowed, "Then the old slave ...... Bi'er's corpse"

"No need." Shangguan Jingyu said, "Tomorrow, let Fu Hui and Su Yan send Bi'er's body home." said that Bi'er committed suicide in fear of sin, gave her family some silver, and turned big things into small things. ”

Su Yan opened his mouth, but when he saw Shangguan Jingyu making a look, he could only press it down.

The body was sent to Yizhuang, and Bi'er will be sent home tomorrow.

The moment she turned back to Hongyu Pavilion, Fleur didn't have time to enter the door, so she slammed the door without makeup and shut Fleur out of the door.

Shangguan Jingyu sat down casually and poured a glass of water.

Before it was handed to his lips, he was quickly taken down by Su Yan and thrown to the ground, "Shangguan Jingyu, you are doing this for the tiger and disregarding people's lives." ”

"I thought you were different from them, but you are also such a person. For the sake of the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, knowing that Bi'er died in vain, he still had to turn a blind eye. ”

"Shangguan Jingyu, I misjudged you! You are a selfish villain, what is the difference between you and those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion? It's no different from the murderer who killed Bi'er! ”

She looked up, her expression indifferent, "Then what do you want from me?" ”

Su Yan sneered twice, "Aren't you afraid that if you dream back at midnight, Bi'er will come to chase her soul and ask for her life?" ”

"If she wants to chase her soul, she will ask for the life of the person who killed her, not me." She said coldly, "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it will affect the whole body." Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand!" Su Yan scolded angrily, "I only know that Bi'er died unjustly, and it was clearly killed by someone." Is your life a life, and her life not a life? As a young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't make the decision to avenge her, but you want to cover up the facts. Shangguan Jingyu, is this what you call benevolence and righteousness? ”
