Chapter 163: Yongchangbo's Old Tongfang

"That's the biggest possibility." Zhen Shicheng didn't say anything to death, and the focus of the investigation was on these people.

Large families have rules, and the servants in the front yard cannot come to the backyard at all without very special circumstances. And the courtyard where the main mother lives is full of people, and if you want to hide in it after sunset, this person must be the person who will not be surprised to be seen in the main courtyard.

In this case, the scope can actually be narrowed down a little more, and the people in the main courtyard are even more suspicious.

"Why don't you ask the steward of the Bofu to take out the roster of the backyard to check with the people, and count who is not in the mansion now, and all the people left behind are gathered in the courtyard, waiting for the adults to inquire at any time."

Zhen Shicheng smiled slightly: "That's what I mean." ”

There are a lot of people in the entire back house of Yongchang Bofu, and it takes a lot of time to count and check, which is left to a few stewards of Bofu, Zhen Shicheng took a copy of the roster and read it from top to bottom.

The names of the people in each courtyard of the back house are clearly written on the roster, what errands these people do, how much silver they get, and some even record the director, such as a maid named Red Sleeves, who specifically mentioned that she could comb her hair.

From such a roster, we can see how the head of the house is a person who can manage the family.

Zhen Shicheng looked at the roster twice, and his eyes fell on the top two names.

Those were Yongchangbo's two rooms.

The population of Yongchangbo Mansion is simple, except for Yongchangbo and his wife and a son and a daughter, these two rooms can be called half of the masters.

Glancing at Xie Yinlou's brothers and sisters, Zhen Shicheng pointed to the door: "Uncle, let's go in first and say a few words." ”

Yongchangbo was silent and followed Zhen Shicheng into the house, looking at the familiar furnishings, he felt that his heart was blocked, and sighed: "Lord Zhen, just ask." ”

"Uncle's two aunts don't know if they have children?"

The master of the house was not written in the list, so Zhen Shicheng decided to ask clearly.

Yongchangbo smiled bitterly: "No." ”

Zhen Shicheng continued to ask, "Can you tell me why?" ”

"Why?" Yongchangbo was stunned by the question.

"The two aunts have followed the uncle for many years, right? It seems strange not to have a son and a daughter. ”

"I understand what Lord Zhen means." Yongchangbo subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, with a hint of annoyance and embarrassment.

This annoyance did not come from Zhen Shicheng, but because Zhen Shicheng's problem made him suspicious of the two intercourse.

"One of the two of them took the house when they were growing their children, and the other was the one when they gave birth to their daughters, and I didn't want to give birth to concubines and concubines to make Bofu become a miasma, so I kept letting them take Shunzi soup."

Zhen Shicheng thought for a while and asked, "So the two aunts have never been pregnant unexpectedly?" ”

Yongchangbo was silent for a moment and said, "Chaoyun was pregnant three years ago, and I didn't agree to stay. ”

At that time, he also hesitated, after all, a pair of sons and daughters are older, and having an extra cousin or cousin won't affect anything, but-

Zhen Shicheng was so keen, he immediately saw a little strange from Uncle Yongchang's expression, and asked: "After all, it is the uncle's blood and bones, since the accident came, why didn't the uncle stay?" ”

Yongchangbo hesitated.

Zhen Shicheng persuaded: "Uncle has something to say, the murderer has not yet appeared, if you hide it any longer, you will inadvertently help the murderer." ”

"Uchiko was sick at the time."

As soon as Yongchang Bo said, Zhen Shicheng suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Yongchangbo and his wife are affectionate, and his wife is sick after being pregnant, of course, he will not let Tongfang leave the child behind.

"Uchiko is really sick, not because she was angry that Chaoyun was pregnant, and she deliberately did it to show me." Yongchangbo hurriedly explained.

He didn't want to say it, he just didn't want people to misunderstand that his wife was an intolerable woman.

Zhen Shicheng looked at Uncle Yongchang and sighed: "Uncle knows Mrs. Uncle and knows that Mrs. Bo was indeed sick at that time, so what about Auntie?" ”

Yongchangbo was stunned, and his face was ugly: "Lord Zhen, are you saying that Chaoyun is likely to hold a grudge against Neiko because of her abortion, thinking that Neiko pretended to be sick to cause her to lose her child?" ”

"Ling Gongzi and Ling Ai are both older, since the uncle is the two aunts who were accepted successively when they were born, I think the two aunts were not young three years ago, right?"

"Well, they were in their early thirties."

Zhen Shicheng smiled: "Uncle, don't underestimate the pain of a woman who has been childless for many years and suddenly becomes pregnant and is forcibly aborted, and this pain is enough to make people feel amazing hatred." ”

"Did Asahun hurt Uchiko?" Yongchangbo's face turned pale.

At that time, he had an abortion, although he felt a little guilty, but he knew very well in his heart that how could he get pregnant after drinking a good child-avoiding soup? I don't want to know what's wrong with this.

After all, Chaoyun has been with him for many years, no matter what means he uses to get pregnant, since the child is gone, he is unwilling to pursue it anymore, but rewards her with a lot of objects because of pity.

Could it be that she thought that her wife couldn't tolerate the child so she didn't stay, and since then she has held a grudge against her wife, and finally waited for the opportunity to kill her wife?

The more Yongchangbo thought about it, the more ugly his face became.

"Uncle doesn't have to be too excited, this can only show that Chaoyun has a motive to kill his wife, but it doesn't mean that she is the murderer, everything still needs to be evidenced. What the officer has to do is to find out the suspects one by one, and then exclude or find out the evidence of whether they are the murderers. ”

Yongchangbo still couldn't calm down, and punched the table.

"After Chaoyun lost her child, didn't the uncle feel anything abnormal when he got along with her again?"

Yongchangbo shook his head: "It's not easy to strangle my own blood and bones, and since then I have hardly stepped into the courtyard of the two rooms, so it is difficult to know what is wrong with her." ”

Zhen Shicheng got up: "That's it, call the two aunts to ask first, uncle should calm down." ”

Yongchangbo nodded reluctantly.

The two walked out, and Yongchangbo immediately ordered someone to invite the two Tongfang.

Soon two middle-aged women came one after the other, and the woman who walked in front was slightly plump, although she looked worried, but the curvature of her eyebrows and eyes made her look gentle.

The woman in the back was very thin, with slightly drooping eyelids, an unhealthy pale complexion, and her hair was a little gray.

Zhen Shicheng couldn't help but think of the two hairs found in the closet.

"The one in front is Chunmei, and the one in the back is Chaoyun." Yongchangbo said in a calm tone as much as possible.

At this time, he looked coldly at the two Tongfang approaching, and he was a little strange, thinking about it carefully, it was true that he hadn't been to them for too long.

The people in the courtyard saw that the uncle's two old rooms were called, although they didn't dare to speak, they made eye contact one by one.

God, was it the uncle's room that killed the lady?

Jiang's attention was originally focused on the crowd that had gathered in the courtyard one after another, and when he saw Zhen Shicheng summoning the two of them, he quietly walked over.

She thought of a key point, with which she could almost determine who the murderer was, so let her see if the two of them were innocent.
