Everyone stepped up the road, the road was not long, turned a corner, you could see the faint light ahead, and then after a narrow road, a half-open door appeared in front of them.

Mother Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, this is it." ”

Chen Ying bowed her head and stepped forward to push the door, but Tang's mother stepped forward by mistake and stopped with a smile: "The third girl is careful that her hands hurt, and the slave maid is here." ”

The attitude is courteous and the smile is kind, which is far better than the first meeting of the gallery.

Chen Ying couldn't help but be stunned.

The Li family is back, the housewife did not appear at the scene of the killing, and there is just a maid missing in the second room, even if Ziqi is really the murderer, it can't hinder the Guogong Mansion anything.

Since everything is as usual, Chen Ying, the third girl, is still the noble third girl.

It is not so much the power of servant women, but rather the reality of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Seeing her strange smile, Tang's mother hurriedly explained: "The third girl forgives her sins." Before coming, the old lady confessed, not to let the three girls who were wronged, but to ask the slaves and maids to serve well, and the slaves and maids should obey their orders. ”

"I see, there's Mother Rautun." Chen Ying took half a step back and made a "please" gesture.

Tang's mother stepped forward to push the door, and when the door opened, she saw a servant guarding the courtyard.

He had already heard the movement outside the door, and when he saw this, he smiled on his face, blocked his body in front of the door, and arched his hand: "There is a murder inside, please stay." ”

He smiled very politely, after all, this is the Guogong Mansion, don't say that he is in charge of the house, he is a little maid, and he is afraid that it will be more expensive than him.

"Ordered to investigate the case." Chen Ying took out the gold medal and shook it.

The official was taken aback, looked at Chen Ying again, and immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Chen San." As she spoke, she looked at the gold medal in her hand again, and her eyes began to glow.

This kind of imperial gift, how can a little official like him have the opportunity to watch it from a close distance? It's impossible to even look at it from afar.

Now it's good, this rumored very eccentric Chen San girl actually appeared with a gold medal.

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, the villain doesn't know that Miss Chen San is here, how offensive it is." The servant said a series of kind words, and his whole face wrinkled with laughter, and he gave way to the side.

Chen Ying exhaled silently.

I didn't expect this gold medal to be very useful, and she thought it was going to be hindered.

Speaking of which, this is also due to Chen Shao, and her name as a detective is now known in Shengjing City.

Who called the second master of the Guogong Mansion too famous? When people are discussing, they will inevitably bring Chen Ying, and between this back and forth, Miss Chen San has a royal gold medal, and everyone knows about it.

"I'm going to go in and survey the scene." Chen Ying said lightly and sleeved up the gold medal.

The official didn't say a word, and immediately nodded and said, "Miss Chen, please come in, the villain doesn't dare to stop it." ”

The two mothers hurriedly stepped forward and followed Chen Ying into the courtyard, and the official whispered behind him: "Miss Chen San, the place where the crime occurred is in the east wing, after this garden, turn left and you will arrive." ”

Chen Ying looked back and said "thank you", and Tang's mother turned around very knowingly and handed over a dime of silver.

The official smiled and smiled, and said, "The West Chamber is empty at this time, the girl might as well go there first, turn right." ”

Chen Ying smiled at Tang's mother.

The money was worth it, and the news it got was very useful.

The garden is narrow and tight, but only a plantain, a flower bed, and nothing else.

They soon came to the verandah leading to the second courtyard, where lanterns could be seen on the partition wall, and the light was bright, but there were not many people here, and there were only two or three officials on the corridor.

Coincidentally, these are all acquaintances.

It turned out that these government officials were the officials who appeared in the case of the sinking of the corpse in Xingjibo Mansion last time, and Chen Ying had a relationship with them, and they had an impression of each other.

When Chen Ying appeared, they didn't seem to be surprised at all, they glanced at it in surprise, and then they went to work on their own affairs, and they didn't even ask anyone.

"The third master is in the outer study to invite Lord Yin and command the lord to drink tea." Mother Feng whispered at the right time, with a tacit look on her face.

Chen Ying nodded.

With Chen Mian supporting the scene in front, it is much easier.

It's just that this thought came together, and her heart sank again.

It is unknown whether the detainee is Ziqi or not, but no matter what, she wants to meet first.

After thinking for a moment, she raised her voice to call a passing official and asked politely, "May I ask, the murderous ...... Where is the woman now? Have you ever woken up? ”

The official looked at her twice, stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "She was sitting in the porter's room, and the doctor gave the needle, so she should have woken up." After a pause, he said, "Lord Xie has a life, and he is not allowed to visit now." ”

Mr. Xie?

In Chen Ying's mind, the figure of the Xie sisters immediately appeared.

Their father, Xie Shao, is now serving as the governor of Shengjing Mansion.

It turned out that he was here too.

Chen Ying frowned again.

Master Xie and the Guogong Mansion don't seem to be on the right path, with him, I'm afraid things will not be easy to handle.

Seeing this, Feng's mother took a few steps forward, shielded her body, and handed over a dime of silver to the official: "Our girl will go and take a look and say a few words, can we?" ”

The officer was stunned and looked up at her.

With a casual smile on her face, she stuffed the silver into his hand: "Our second lady said, no matter who that woman is, she can do whatever she wants, and our Guogong Mansion will not tolerate it." ”

She didn't know about Ziqi, but she saw Li appear, and she spoke smoothly.

Rao is like this, this is very informative, and the official was stunned to hear it.

However, he was not stupid, and he reacted quickly and looked relieved.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, at least on the surface, everyone has room to turn around.

He tacitly accepted the silver, opened it behind them, and quietly beckoned: "Miss Chen, please come with me." ”

Chen Ying knew that there was a door, so she hurriedly walked over.

Walking straight to the shade under the corridor, the official stopped and whispered: "Third girl, your clothes are not eye-catching, you can go with me, but the two mothers can't." He smiled and pointed to the bow and arrow on her back: "This must be left behind." ”

Chen Ying noticed that she was still fully armed, and she was indeed exaggerating, so she hurriedly untied her longbow and quiver, beckoned Feng and Tang to collect it for her, and ordered them to step out of the verandah with the official later.

Turning the verandah is the moon gate, as soon as you enter the courtyard, what catches your eye is a long blood-colored drag mark, which is shocking.

"Be careful, don't step on it." The official reminded in a low voice.

Chen Ying lowered her eyes and looked at her feet.

A long bloodstain, from the gate of the West Chamber to the gate of the second courtyard, the stone steps, the ground, the threshold, twists and turns, like a red snake, weird and demonic.
