Su Luo and the maids had already gathered around, and they couldn't help screaming when they saw this scene.

Soon, the people who were close immediately rushed in, and then, all the people in the courtyard learned the news, Pang Fu and Wu Xing happened to meet the servants in the main courtyard who were scattered under the second gate, and hurriedly stopped and asked, and then immediately pulled out their legs and came to the main courtyard!

When he arrived at the main room, Xie Wan was already assigning people: "...... Xing Zhu, you lead someone to protect the old lady and Su Luo closely! Do not let anyone approach, and do not let them send messages to anyone. Luo Sheng, you go to the county government to report to the official, and Pang Sheng, you will immediately set off to Jingshi to report the funeral of the third master! Let him come back immediately.

"Before the county government comes, don't leave Dr. Li, and don't move everything in this house! Qian Zhuang, you take the courtyard in the house to guard here, don't let anyone go in alone! - Pang Fu, you came back just in time, and the affairs of the Qifeng Courtyard will be handed over to you. Don't let them move out until things are figured out! ”

When Pang Fu heard this, he knew that Xie Qigong had been diagnosed as dead, and the tears rolled out at the moment, and his legs were weak on the ground, and he wanted to climb in to see Xie Qigong. Pang Sheng and Luo Sheng hurriedly stopped him, "It's a mess right now, it's time for you to come out and settle down, if you miss the right thing, wouldn't you be sorry for the old lady too?" ”

Wang sat slumped under the window, his face turned to ashes, and he muttered that he didn't know what to say, and although Su Luo was calm, he was also a little helpless by the sudden change. Xing Zhu brought two mothers-in-law from Songyuan to take them to the next ear room, surrounded the doors and windows, and let others not say that they were close. It's very difficult to even send a sentence through the air.

Luo Sheng settled Pang Fu and walked in front of Xie Wan, who was standing under the porch. said: "Isn't it good to report to the official now?" ”

Xie Qigong's death had been diagnosed as poisoning by Dr. Li, who was treating his trauma. At that time, it was the Wang family and the people around him who were serving in front of him, no matter how you look at it, the Wang family can't get rid of suspicion, if it is reported to the official, it will be the last to find out that it is the Wang family's outstretched hand, will Xie Rong watch her go to the execution ground? In the end, it didn't work.

It is better not to report to the official, and when Xie Rong comes back, it seems better to deal with it privately, and once he comes to use the reputation of Xie Mansion as a raft, he can coerce Xie Rong to agree to severely punish the Wang family, so that he can do so. Not only Xie Hong couldn't keep it, but even the Wang family had to be unlucky.

But Xie Wan glanced at him and said, "Do you think Xie Rong is so easy to handle?" If we know that the old lady died of poisoning, but we don't report it to the official, what if he bites us in turn? ”

Although Xie Rong is not the kind of unprincipled person, but the Wang family is his own mother in the end, in order to protect the Wang family, it is impossible for him to admit that the Wang family killed Xie Qigong, and the Wang family is very likely to take the opportunity to tell her about forcing Xie Hong to leave the house and live another place at this time. turned to instigate Xie Rong and blame her.

At the moment, there is really no more stable way than reporting to the official.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Xie Rong will privately buy the county order. Twist the facts, however, he has the right. Xie Wan had money on hand. Besides, there's still a Jin Yong above her, isn't there? Jin Yong, who holds real power. After all, it's much more important than a teaching attendant, right? At this time, whether Jin Yong wants it or not. She can only pull the tiger skin to make a banner.

However, this is all an afterthought, and it can only be used as a last resort. She wouldn't have allowed herself to get that far until then.

She said to Luo Sheng: "You hint to Lord Xia County and tell him what my relationship with Lord Jin is." When necessary, tell him again how his predecessor, Zhao Zhen, entered the ministry. ”

Luo Sheng understood and walked away quickly.

The new county magistrate is called Xu Ju, and she has not dealt with him, although Jin Yong may not be used this time, it is necessary to give Xu Ju a thorough understanding first.

Xie Wan was about to find a place to sit, but Xie Lang came back from outside with red eyes, hurriedly walked up to her and said, "There are incense, candles, paper money and everything in the house, I asked the Pang Fu family to go to the treasury to get it." I hope to be able to send the old lady on the road in time. - How did this happen all of a sudden? Didn't the doctor say it was all right? I think this must be Wang's handiwork! ”

He was not there when Dr. Li diagnosed him, so he said this.

Xie Wan said calmly: "How can things be like this, we have to wait for the work to come, we can't make any assertions." Brother let's go and fix the funeral first, and don't reveal it until the cause of death is ascertained. I estimate that the third uncle will arrive at the house the morning after tomorrow at most, and then let him make up his mind. ”

Xie Lang nodded, and then went with Wu Xingyinzuo.

Xie Wan paused here, but called Cheng Yuan.

"I just remembered one thing, very important, the property in our house is all in the hands of the old lady, and now the old lady suddenly suffered this bad luck, I am afraid that there will be a storm afterwards, you go to Pang Fu, no matter what method you use, let him get all the account books in the house, and not miss a single one!"

Cheng Yuan thought about it, nodded and said, "I'm going here!" ”

The entire mansion took action, except for the person who poisoned it, no one could predict Xie Qigong's death, not even Xie Wan.

In his previous life, Xie Qigong died when Xie Wan was sixteen years old, if it weren't for this accident, he would have at least four or five years to live, and in these few years, Xie Wan was enough to turn Xie Mansion upside down. At this time, I don't know who disrupted her plan, so that she had to temporarily adjust the deployment, and the property in this mansion was the first thing she had to hold.

Xu Ju rushed to the house at dawn with the catcher and the man.

Xie Wan and Xie Lang both arrived at the main courtyard, the Wang family was invited over, Xie Hua and Xie Tong came to Qifeng Courtyard, and Aunt Deng in the backyard also came.

He and Dr. Li were busy in the house for a while, and when they saw that the sky was bright and the sun was rising, a group of people came out to give a good example, "Old lady Xie died of a huge amount of arsenic, and there was arsenic-containing medicine in the abdomen of the corpse, and the broken porcelain on the floor of the room was also found to be poisonous, and there was a trace of rouge on the porcelain piece on the top. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on the broken porcelain handed to Xu Ju in front of Xu Zuo, and they saw that on the snow-white fine porcelain bowl, there were traces of rouge on the size of a fingernail. Everyone looked at each other. Xu Ju took the bowl in his hand and asked, "Last night, who served the decoction in front of Xie Weng?" ”

Wang's face turned pale, his eyes widened, and he muttered, "It's not me, it's not me!" I didn't poison it! I didn't poison it! ”

A hint of disgust flashed in Xie Lang's eyes. Pang Fuhong had a pair of swollen eyes, stepped forward and knelt in front of Xu Ju and said, "Back to the adult's question, last night, it was the decoction that our old lady served in the room. Except for the old lady and the people around her, no one else was present. I beg the adults to find out the real culprit for our old lady and avenge him for him! ”

Although Xu Yu came to Qinghe for a short time, but every time he went to understand the relationship between the local characters, it was a must for every county official, he knew that Xie Mansion was divided into two factions, and he also knew the rumors about the conflict between the second room and the long room a few days ago.

After all, this Wang family is Xie Rong's biological mother, not to mention whether Xie Rong can have an impact on his career, let's just say that everyone is a colleague of the same dynasty as officials, and before he returns home, it is inconvenient for him to offend the Wang family. Now that Xie Qigong is dead, Xie Rong will be in charge of the house in the future, and the Wang family is the old lady in the house, so this crime is not easy to detain.

After thinking about it, he said: "This rouge is a common thing, and it is not used as conclusive evidence, and it is difficult to distinguish it for a while. ”

In this way, not only does not offend people, but also seems that he has something to do, anyway, Xie Rong will return to his house tomorrow at most, and with him present, what does he want to do, isn't it improvisation? He will be able to clear up some suspicions then.

What Xu Ju hates the most is this kind of case where the gods fight and the little ghost suffers, but in his experience, this kind of thing is the best and muddy.

If Xie Qigong had a brother, or if Xie Teng was still there, of course he wouldn't be able to fool him, but who said that except for the two pairs of brothers and sisters in the second room, there would be no one who could stand up and speak for the dead? Even if he is the head of the family, if he dies, he can only go to the king of Hades to complain about his grievances.

Although Luo Sheng, who came to report to the official, hinted that Jin Yong, the head of his sixth department, was Xie Wan's cousin, and the relationship was not bad, but the family was far away in Beijing, and they had not been to Xie Mansion for many years, who knew if they would come forward to support them and ask for an explanation? Besides, what is the harm of Xie Qigong's death to the second room? It's just a matter of dividing the family property earlier.

He didn't think that Xie Wan had any motive for making a fuss, even if he really detained the Wang family, with Xie Rong's current status as a servant in front of the palace, wouldn't it be easy to tamper with evidence and ensure her innocence? What good is Xie Wan offending Xie Rong like this?

Xie Wan did think so too, offending Xie Rong was not good for her, especially if she was forced to die like this.

In the face of the current evidence, in addition to the happiness that forcing the Wang family to die can bring her, in the long run, she will have to face the pressure and revenge from Xie Rong! She didn't have the strength to resist him now, she couldn't fight him, so even if the Wang family had become the target of public criticism, she was not as unrelenting as the surrounding family imagined.

All she needs is that she gets what she wants back, and Xie Hong finally moves out of the house. With his appearance, the Wang family can't toss anything, she cares about Xie Hong so much, and the rest of her life is enough for her to cry.

Now that Xie Qigong is dead, and Xie Hong is still in the mansion, she just needs Xie Rong to come back and make a decision about this matter, so let's wait for him to come back! (To be continued.) )
