Chapter 81: Counting is Counting
Ding Yuan paused, looked at Xue Dongyuan and motioned for him to continue, before he said: "The person who took in the eldest lady is not only an old woman, but also a large family, one of the little girls who is about to leave the pavilion suddenly went crazy for some reason, and on the night when she went crazy, the eldest lady disappeared without a trace and disappeared from Guyu Village inexplicably. ”
"And that night, the eldest lady appeared in Lingqiu County, which is more than a hundred miles away from Guyu Village, and killed the imperial historian Jiang Xi and his entourage who went to Lingqiu to visit friends, and Jiang Xi's friends, and killed four officials in a row......"
"Nonsense!" Eniang angrily interrupted Ding Yuan's words.
What a mess this is, the little girl is crazy again, and she killed the prefect, it's just a fantasy!
Ding Yuan hurriedly said under Xue Dongyuan's eyes: "Everything that the little one said is true, these are all small ones from Guyu Village and Lingqiu County, not only the villagers of Guyu Village can testify, but even Lingqiu County has officers and soldiers who can confirm it!" ”
"This is a big case involving the officials of the imperial court, how dare the small ones make something out of nothing? This matter is already well known in Lingqiu, and even Lord Shoufu has ordered a strict investigation, but for some reason, such a large-scale search and arrest has been carried out for three or four months, and the murderer has still not been arrested. This once became a joke in Lingqiu, and Lingqiu's gambling house even used this as a gambling game, guessing where this murderer was sacred, and he could be so arrogant and vicious, and he could still escape with his whole body after killing ten people in a row. ”
Even Jiang Xian pulled it out.
Ei Niang's back gradually chilled, and her face was very ugly.
Xue Dongyuan was secretly distressed, but he was still ruthless, and said softly: "Einiang, I know that you like Baohua the most, and I don't want to believe that Baohua will kill people, and I don't believe it, but this matter is really strange." ”
"I'm worried about whether this is because I erected too many enemies back then, and someone found out my whereabouts and stuffed a fake treasure flower into the house, in order to confuse us, so as to wait for the opportunity to get rid of us one by one, or is it really as Huiping Fairy Gu said, this treasure flower is possessed by evil spirits, so where does the real treasure flower suffer?"
"You have to calm down and think about it, not only for the safety of all of us, but also for the sake of the real treasure." He asked Eniang in a low voice: "In the past few months since Baohua came back, have you noticed anything different about Baohua?" ”
He saw that Hui Niang's heart was shocked, and his expression was obviously beginning to suspect Lu Yang, so he let go of Hui Niang's hand and took out a small book where Lu Yang had written.
Pointing to the punctuation marks between the lines above, he said: "Our treasure flower, when did you like to add these strange symbols to your writing?" What do these symbols mean? I've never seen it before, don't you think it's weird? She is the only one who writes with these symbols, I am really worried about what code she is writing and who she is passing the news to, then our Xue family is going to be in a catastrophe! ”
If Lu Yang knew that she was really going to cry to death, when she used a brush to write, she would naturally not use punctuation, but using charcoal is like using a ballpoint pen and pencil in her previous life, the punctuation marks have long been engraved in her bones, and she is used to nature, so she writes it easily, and people in this time and space never use symbols when writing.
E-Niang asked in despair, "You mean, this treasure flower is fake?" ”
Xue Dongyuan knew that she was suspicious, and he was overjoyed.
He glanced at Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan understood instantly, and immediately said: "The little one is also worried that someone is pretending to be the eldest lady, so he made a secret visit in Lingqiu County and Datong Mansion. ”
And also? Einiang swept over with a glance and asked Ding Yuan not to sell Guanzi.
Ding Yuan then told eloquently: "After the eldest lady killed people and escaped, she was taken captive to Hunyuan Prefecture by a Qinglou, and she stayed in the Qinglou for seven or eight days. ”
"That day, a group of people came in the Qinglou to rescue a woman, the eldest lady took the opportunity to escape, the wound on her leg was one of them injured with a hidden weapon, that night, the eldest lady went from Hunyuan Prefecture to Datong Mansion, more than a hundred miles, the eldest lady with a leg injury, but it only took half an hour."
Ding Yuan's voice was subdued and frustrating, very infectious, and it was easy for the listener to be fascinated, but he himself was unaware of it, and still said with a solemn face: "As far as my subordinates know, the eldest lady can't ride a horse, and more importantly, at that hour, the city gates of Hunyuan Prefecture and Datong Mansion have been closed, how did the eldest lady leave Hunyuan Prefecture and enter Datong Mansion in such a short time?" ”
Could it really be an evil spirit?
The painting girl lost her face, and her hands were folded together, faintly pinched by her and turned white.
Ding Yuan raised his head and glanced at Xue Dongyuan cautiously, touching the latter's eyes, 'What other evidence should be presented quickly', and hurriedly presented a stack of notes with both hands, with an extremely respectful and humble attitude: "These are all dictated or written by the people who testified, and their addresses and livelihoods are also attached, if the lady does not believe it, you can visit them one by one." ”
Xue Dongyuan took it, looked at it first, and then handed it to Einiang.
The more E-Niang looked, the paler her face became.
Among the witnesses, there were not only peddlers and pawns, but also villagers, officers and soldiers, thugs in brothels, men in shops, and even guards guarding the city gates in Lingqiu, Hunyuan Prefecture, and Datong Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the power center of the capital, Xue Dongyuan still had such a ability.
In order to get rid of the treasure flower, he really took great pains.
Hui Niang trembled all over, and fell into the eyes of Xue Dongyuan and Ding Yuan, but she was frightened by the truth of the matter, and no one suspected that Hui Niang was planning a plan.
She wanted to see how many charges Xue Dongyuan had to place on Baohua for such hard work, and how he was going to deal with her Baohua.
Just when Eniang was so frightened that her soul did not possess her body, Xue Dongyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a surprised face: "Hearing Ding Yuan say this, I also remembered a strange thing." ”
Ei Niang said very cooperatively: "What's the matter? ”
"I don't know if I'm too careful, or if you've noticed it, anyway, I always feel that this treasure flower is not like the previous treasure flower." Xue Dongyuan plausibly mentioned it first, and then got to the point: "Yesterday, she suddenly lost her soul in the flower room, leaving Furong and Min'er sisters and brothers behind, and she had to go to Luo Qian with you, but just in time for Luo Qian's mother to die, the Luo family suffered, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Eniang didn't know about Lu Yang's lost soul, so she pretended to be surprised and asked, "What do you mean, don't you think that this treasure flower not only has strange whereabouts, but also has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet?" Knowing that Luo Qian's family was in trouble and needed help, she hurriedly wanted to find Luo Qian? Could it be that all this has something to do with her losing her soul? How did I not know when she had lost her soul? ”
