Lin Yun'er stepped forward, "Can Cui Wuniang tell me what happened when Mrs. Cui became ill?" ”

Cui Yurou had tears in her eyes, and shook her head shallowly, "I always say that I have a child in my womb, and I don't listen to what anyone says, if it doesn't go my way, she will beat someone." “

This is already very similar to what she guessed, could it be that Lin Tianze was killed by mistake when Cui Yun became ill? There is no trace of struggle, but Cui Yun loves him so much, why humiliate him, Lin Yun'er really can't figure this out.

"It's not her." Xie Lin whispered in her ear.

Lin Wan'er turned her head, full of doubts, "Why?" ”

"Or motivation." Xie Lin laughed lightly. Then he walked to the courtyard.

Lin Yun'er comforted Cui Yurou a few words, "Xu is Mrs. Cui's heart has some obsessions that can't be let go, and I don't know." ”

Cui Yurou saw that Xie Lin was gone, so she grabbed the corner of Lin Yun'er's clothes and cried, "Shanniang, I'm sorry." ”

Lin Yun'er looked puzzled, why did this little lady apologize to her, and she didn't say anything to her, "Cui Wuniang, where does this start?" ”

"At the banquet that day, if I hadn't wrestled, my sister might not have noticed Lin Langjun, after I went back, my sister always thought that the child in her womb was Lin Langjun's, and my father and mother loved my sister very much, so I set up that bureau, so that Shanniang, you saw that scene, and I overheard it." Cui Yurou cried extremely hard, "I thought that the Cui family and the Huang family had already become enemies, and you wouldn't come today, Shanniang." ”

It turns out that all this is a bureau, Huang Zishan, you died too unjustly!

couldn't help but clench her hands tightly into fists in her sleeves, what is the reason why a person is crazy to this point, she barely squeezed out a smile on her face, "That's it, the past, don't mention it, Cui Wuniang better go back and rest, if you feel unwell, come to me." With that, she said goodbye to Cui Yurou and went to the courtyard.

You can see the size of this courtyard outside the courtyard, but I didn't expect to walk in and take a look, this courtyard is really more than big. Some of the pavilions and pavilions in the hall are made of colored glass, listening to Ziwei's chatter, the colored glass seems to be a rich thing in the country, and I think these are also the trophies of General Cui on the battlefield.

It only took a few steps for her to catch up with Xie Lin, and Xie Lin seemed to have a smile on his face, "But what did you ask?" ”

It turned out that Xie Lin's departure was to remove Cui Yurou's line of defense, could it be that this person had two hearts? It seemed that she couldn't hide everything from him, so she had no choice but to say, "She told me that Cui Yun and Lin Tianze's acquaintance is a bureau. ”

She told Xie Lin what Cui Yurou said word for word, and Xie Lin's expression was a little puzzled at this time. "It seems that the lady really has amnesia." If it is ordinary, it is no wonder that he is not resentful when he is designed like this, and although Xie Lin saw some anger in Lin Yun'er's eyes, it was just the kind of anger that was a bystander, not the one who was in the party.

"What? Think I can't trick you? Lin Yun'er was not angry, how could she say a few words, and she felt that it was unpleasant to look at him again.

Xie Lin immediately smiled, "How can Huang Niangzi fool people?" It was Xie who was abrupt. ”

At this time, Yang Yan was surrounded by several slaves and maids and walked to the center of the courtyard, Yang Yan waved away the slaves and maids, and asked, "I don't know how Xie Langjun investigated?" “

Xie Lin didn't seem to want to answer her question, and asked her directly, "Mrs. Yang, Xie wants to know who the fetus in Mrs. Cui's womb is." ”

Yang Yan's face suddenly changed, her hands were clenched, her lips were pursed into a line, and she took a deep breath before saying, "This matter has nothing to do with Langzi's death, so I can't tell you directly." "Although she entrusted Xie Lin to investigate this matter, she is the general's wife, and she also has a decree on her, except for the county lord's rank higher than her, she is afraid that she is the most noble.

If Yang Yan didn't speak, they couldn't force her to say something, so Xie Lin had no choice but to give up, "I think that this case is related to Mrs. Cui's condition, and I hope that Mrs. Yang will think about it more, so I heard that people say that Mrs. Cui is resting, so it is inconvenient to disturb me more, and I hope that Mrs. can allow me to walk around the mansion in Xia, the murderer is very familiar with the upper and lower houses, if it is mixed with the people, the lives of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Cui ......" He estimated that he left a blank space and waited for Yang Yan's reply.

Yang Yan frowned, and said after a few breaths, "There are still many guests in the front hall, and I hope that Xie Langjun and Huang Niangzi will arrest the murderer as soon as possible." As she spoke, she called the slave who was beside Cui Yun today, "Caiyue, you take a few people to the next person's room to have a look, and let Steward Li be vigilant!" ”

Caiyue hurriedly came, received the order, and took Xie Lin and Lin Yun'er to the gate of the courtyard.

Not a few steps out of the courtyard gate, Xie Lin asked, "Caiyue, how long have you been in the house?" ”

Caiyue responded with a smile, "The slave is a child of the family, and she used to wait in front of her wife, but she was only transferred to her half a month ago to wait." ”

"So who was waiting for Mrs. Cui half a month ago?" Xie Lin asked again.

Caiyue recalled, "It's Fang'er, half a month ago, Fang'er received a letter from home and asked to resign and go home to visit relatives." ”

Intuition told Lin Yun'er that there must be something greasy here, so before Xie Lin could ask, she continued to ask Caiyue, "So who served Mrs. Cui before Fang'er?" ”

Caiyue walked a few steps, "It's like a girl named Qingmei, she entered the mansion with a group of people from the country a few years ago, and I heard that the general bought it back from the road." ”

"Where is the green plum at the moment?"

Caiyue shook her head, "It's missing, the girl was fine when she bought it, and somehow she only gained a lot of weight in a few months, and then the slave maid heard that Qingmei was pregnant, but somehow, she disappeared." ”

Perhaps, Cui Yun's illness is related to this green plum, or perhaps, Lin Tianze's death is also related to this green plum.

But who has something to do with this green plum?

"Take us to meet those who are from the country of Posa." Xie Lin commanded.

It's just that Caiyue's face showed a little embarrassment, "If you go back to Lang Jun, the people of the Po Sa country have been deaf and dumb since they were sent into the house, and I am afraid that Lang Jun may not be able to talk to them if he sees them." ”

"It's okay, you can take us to meet us."

Caiyue took the two of them around a few corners and came to an extremely remote courtyard, "This courtyard was specially built for the Posa people by the general's orders, and the general said that they don't like to see the living." Caiyue stepped forward to knock on the door, knocked for a while, and the door of the courtyard opened a hole in the door, and a black head poked out of it, very small, but extremely cute, looking like a little Langjun, but this little Langjun is different from Ruiguo's life, his teeth are extremely white, but his skin is dark, his hair is not straight, each one is curled like a withered grass.

Lin Wan'er was shocked, in the future generations, there will be so many black people studying abroad in the streets and alleys, but such a race appeared here, she suddenly felt extremely incredible.

Caiyue gestured with him and said that she wanted them to go in and ask questions, but the little Langjun seemed to understand and opened the door wide. Immediately, Lin Yun'er and Xie Lin walked in.

Although this small courtyard is simple but can shelter from the wind and rain, the courtyard is full of large and small pots, and in the pots are all kinds of flowers being cultivated, there is a woman in the courtyard who is cleaning up the dried flowers that are drying, seeing that a stranger is coming, she hurriedly takes a few steps back, and tells the little Langjun to enter the house, as if to do something.

A few people walked out of the house in the middle of the night, they were all black and extremely strong, a few of them had no hair on their heads, I heard Caiyue say that they were burned when they made a fire one day, Lin Yun'er took a cursory look, plus the little Langjun who opened the door, there were only ten people in total, including three women, but most of them didn't speak. But Lin Yun'er believed that they were afraid to speak just because of the language barrier.

The people who were captured from the battlefield, if the rules in the army were useless, they could dispose of them by themselves, so General Cui must have discovered their talents and sent them all the way to the palace to serve as black slaves, but their appearance was really special, so he built a courtyard and locked them up.

Lin Yun'er asked Xiang Caiyue, "Is the green plum similar to them?" ”

Caiyue shook her head, "No, according to the people in the house, Qingmei is a Rui person." Somehow he was rescued by the general on his way to victory. "A few years ago, the country launched a few small riots on the border, Cui Hong was ordered to quell the chaos, and after the triumph, the saint ordered him to garrison the border just in case, so Cui Hong brought back the captives and the rescued Qingmei for a few months and then set off to the border.

It seems that the people of the country should be innocent, Lin Wan'er shrugged her shoulders and sighed, but heard Xie Lin say, "In addition to these people and Qingmei in the middle of the mansion in the past few years, who else have come to the mansion. ”

Caiyue swept around the woman, and said helplessly, "This slave doesn't know, but Steward Li definitely knows." With that, Caiyue made some gestures to the women, and then led the two of them out of the small courtyard.

A few hundred steps east of the small courtyard, they came to the courtyard of the lower people, this courtyard is much larger than the courtyard of the Po Sa, and there are many rooms during the period, Caiyue said, "The room that is split in this courtyard alone is where the housekeeper and a few medium slaves live, and the inferior slaves all live in the Chase Shop, usually ten people in a room. It's just that at this hour, they should all be busy in the kitchen. ”

It was a quarter before the hour, and the dinner party was held at the third quarter of the hour, and there was not much time left for them.

At this time, an extremely decently dressed man hurried over from outside the courtyard gate, and Caiyue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Steward Li, Madame asked the maid to bring a few distinguished guests to ask the housekeeper some questions." ”

Steward Li bowed and saluted with a smile on his face, "Xie Langjun, Huang Niangzi, the slave also came to assist under the orders of Madame, I don't know what Langjun Lady wants to ask?" ”

It's just that Xie Lin opened the folding fan and snorted on his chest, and he didn't mean to ask questions, Lin Yun'er was helpless and asked, "I don't know if there are any new slaves in the house in addition to the Posa people in the past two years?" ”

Steward Li smiled even more, "The lady doesn't know, there are more than a dozen new slaves in the past two years, and there are more than a dozen slaves who have left. ”

"Steward Li should know their origins, right?" Lin Yun'er continued to ask.

Steward Li saluted them and said, "Please wait, and the slave will go and bring the roster of the past two years to the two." ”
