Chapter 35: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes
The nurse died at this time, this is simply murder!
Mu Qingwan looked at Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu, and the two of them also frowned and thought deeply.
"You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I'll deal with the rest with your mother. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, so stay in the yard these days. ”
Second Master Mu spoke, don't want Mu Qingwan to get too involved in it.
There was no way, Mu Qingwan could only agree.
"Father, brothers and sisters, each of them should have a secret guard."
Mu Chen spoke, and Second Master Mu looked at Mu Chen's serious appearance, and nodded in agreement.
Dark Guard? Mu Qingwan never knew about this, and Mu Chen obviously knew more. As Mu Chen's eldest son, Second Master Mu has high hopes for him, and in terms of requirements, he has much more requirements than Mu Qingwan, Mu Yan and Mu Lan.
Mu Qingwan guessed that the secret guard should be prepared for her brother Mu Chen, after all, Mu Chen didn't have a small servant or anything like that, and many things should be handed over to the secret guard to do. Mu Qingwan didn't blame Second Master Mu for being biased, Mu Chen was the eldest son after all, and he had much more responsibilities than his younger brothers and sisters.
"Ah Lan will stay in the main courtyard in the future, your sister has too many things to do, and she can't take care of you, okay?"
Mrs. Mu discussed with Mu Lan, no matter what the process was, of course, in the end, she left people behind.
Mu Qingwan finally returned to her courtyard, thinking about what happened today and the death of the nurse.
The nurse died, and the clue was broken. Because the nurse was not guarding against Mu Lan, she just didn't expect that the three-year-old child would remember what she said clearly. All kinds of clues show that the nurse was bought, who could that person be?
Mu Qingwan went through all the people in the Marquis of Anping Mansion in her mind.
An's, Aunt Li, Dafang, Sanfang, there are many suspects, but with the importance that An's and Dafang attach to Mu Jun, it is absolutely impossible to set a trap for him, so they are excluded. Then there is Aunt Li and Sanfang, Aunt Li is a scheming person at first glance, and Sanfang has always been very strange. So what is the motivation? There are also other people in the Anping Hou Mansion, Mu Qingwan has never seen the aunts and concubines in each room until now, so could it be them?
No matter who it is, the people behind it are really thoughtful to the point of being terrifying, killing many birds with one stone, calculating so many people, and the movements of each room are actually well understood.
Mu Lan was right to return to Mrs. Mu, after all, Mu Qingwan was really not sure that she could protect him.
"Auspicious, wishful, how is the investigation? What did you see today? ”
"Miss, there is nothing unusual in our yard, because there is basically no work arranged for the nurse before, so most of the time is in her own room, so I don't pay much attention to it. It's just that the subordinates can't figure it out, how could the nurse get in touch with people outside? Also, the slave felt that there were indeed a few people in the courtyard, and many times the people below were busy with their own things, and some things were inevitably negligent. ”
"There is also the little maid who came to ask for a reward, and her subordinates have secretly checked it, but she is the lowest-grade rough girl in the house, and there is nothing suspicious."
Jixiang thought about it and replied to Mu Qingwan.
"When my subordinates arrived at the pavilion today, they felt a little strange. There are a lot of little people brought by the third young master, and it feels like they were prepared in advance. And the location of the pavilion is very remote, except for the pond next to it, there is nothing worth playing, and the subordinates don't understand why the third young master would run there. There is also a nurse, and her subordinates can feel that the nurse was frightened by the situation at that time, and it seems that the nurse did not expect such a thing to happen. ”
Ruyi replied as he recalled the situation at the time.
"Tell Hu Zhao to come in."
Mu Qingwan frowned, auspicious and wishful words did not provide too many valuable clues.
"Miss, my subordinates have already gone to check and have found some information."
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
"The gatehouse of Hanxiangyuan was guarded by the guards arranged by Uncle Mu Qi, but when the little young master left Hanxiangyuan, the guards happened to be found by the mother-in-law who bought daily in the kitchen to help move vegetables. It was only a quarter of an hour before and after, and it happened that the nurse left with the little young master during that time, so no one found out. ”
"The subordinates followed the mother-in-law in the kitchen to check, and found that the vegetable farmer who came to sell vegetables today was not the one on weekdays, but the vegetables were fresher, but the price was cheaper, the mother-in-law was greedy and cheap, and wanted to get more oil and water, so he bought more vegetables, and the subordinates went to check the vegetable farmers according to what the mother-in-law said, but the person seemed to disappear out of thin air, and he couldn't find this person at all, all of which was too coincidental."
"There are also people who have just entered Hanxiang Garden, Uncle Mu only checked the courtyard of the master and his wife, and when he got up, he borrowed someone from Uncle Mu and checked Bai Qi and Bai Zhi. According to the previous rhetoric of the two of them, they checked the village where they lived before and the big family that worked before, and found that Bai Qian's life experience was actually fake, and there were indeed people who sold their nieces in the homes of the people under Baiyun Mountain, but the niece's father was not a snake catcher, and the other information was not matched. ”
"As for Bai Zhi, her information can basically be matched, but the situation is too perfect, and her subordinates are also a little suspicious, after all, when Bai Zhi was sold, I was only a few years old, after so many years, the previous relatives must have changed, but what Bai Zhi said is really too much to know about the current situation, and the subordinates are not normal, so they are also a little suspicious of Bai Zhi."
"The subordinates secretly went to check the records of the mansion, Bai Qi and Bai Zhi were both rough maids in the mansion before, and they both entered the mansion recently."
Hu Zhaocha's thoughts are more and more in-depth than auspiciousness and wishful.
"Very good, don't startle the snake first, auspicious, and then you will stare at Bai Qi and Bai Zhi separately."
Bai Qi and Bai Zhi lied about their life experience, there must be some problems, there are not many opportunities for the nurse to appear, and there is basically no contact with people outside, how could she take Mu Lan out? Then the person who connected with her was most likely someone from the yard. But, Bai Qi, Bai Zhi, could it be you? Who sent it?
"Hu Zhao, tell Uncle Mu Qi about the situation, and don't startle the snake, investigate slowly, and strive to catch it all."
The enemy is in the shadows, and he has no clue, so he can only wait for the eyeliner to show itself.
On the same day, Mrs. Mu was furious about Mu Lan sneaking out by herself and being "seriously injured", sold the mother-in-law she bought that day, and the guards also sold it, and also admonished the people in the garden, warning people to be optimistic about the little young master in the future, etc.
This time, Mrs. Mu was very angry, and even Miss Seven, who she loved very much on weekdays, was punished and shut up.
In the evening, the painting fan sent a letter to Mu Qingwan, saying that there was no need to go to class tomorrow, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and Mama Rong was called to the palace by the Queen Mother, and she would not come to the Hou Mansion during this time.
The painting fan came over this time, and also brought a piece of news, when Mu Qi and Ruyi taught their subordinates, Mu Jun was scared to tears, and An and Xiao An were very angry. Originally, they wanted to find trouble with the third room, but they received some news in the middle, so they put this matter aside for the time being.
