251. Investigation
"Alas, this sixth lady is a good person, and indeed pitiful. Let's go burn some paper for her, and hope she has a good baby soon. ”
Baimei's mother got the news and hurried home to inform her daughter. I'm afraid that Bai Mei will lose her temper if she finds out about it from others.
Bai Mei wiped her tears and nodded.
Indeed, Rong Qiaoyan is a good person, but her fate is not good.
As for the other maids in Rong Qiaoyan's yard who had been waiting for a short time, when they heard the news, they just sighed pitifully.
After all, the time of service is short, and I haven't established a deep relationship.
In the meditation courtyard, the eldest lady listened to Mrs. He's advice, looked at her embarrassed look, and asked people to take her down to freshen up first.
In the Hongping Courtyard, Mrs. Tai and the second lady heard that Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Shuang were dead, and recited Amitabha Buddha a few times, so they sent someone to the yamen to tell Rong Shoufu and the eldest master.
After waiting for most of the hour, Rong Shoufu returned to the mansion with the eldest master.
Rong Shoufu had a calm face, and asked people to bring Mrs. He up and ask in detail.
It was the first time that Mrs. He saw Rong Shoufu, and she would only kneel on the ground and tremble.
Rong Shoufu inquired, found a problem, and then scolded sharply.
He Pozi naturally didn't dare to deceive, and told her words in detail.
As a result, the principals of the Rong Mansion also knew that this Mrs. He was drunk, so she didn't find out about the water.
If you are so derelict in your duties, can you save your life?
"This is really a dereliction of duty on the part of my daughter-in-law. I thought it was just a simple thing to guard the door, but I didn't expect this woman to be so derelict in her duties. ”
The eldest lady confessed in shame in front of Rong Shoufu.
"It's not me speaking for my eldest daughter-in-law. There are so many people up and down in this house, and the eldest daughter-in-law can't be managed by everyone. This is the responsibility of the Zhuangzi steward. Let's get back to that. What does the old lady think should be done now? ”
Mrs. Tai asked while defending the eldest lady.
After all, two lives are at stake. In any case, there should be an explanation for the outside world.
Although the eldest lady was ashamed on her face, she also understood this truth in her heart, so she didn't panic in particular, but just casually confessed.
At this time, when I heard Mrs. Tai's question, I also listened attentively, wanting to see what the old lady would arrange next.
Rong Shoufu had a calm face and did not speak.
There are too few girls in Rongfu.
Now, the big girl has passed away;
The second girl married a marquis, although she can't be reused, she can be regarded as a noble;
The three girls want to keep the draft;
The fourth girl is a concubine, so she naturally wants to keep it and marry a good in-law;
Although the fifth and sixth girls are concubines, they will all reach the age of Ji Lu next year.
could have negotiated marriage and marriage, but it turned out to be a loss. What a pity!
However, this is also a no-brainer.
"Since someone died, presumably the government will also go to someone. Let the butler take someone to check on it to see how the fire started. ”
Rong Shoufu frowned and said to the eldest master.
The eldest lord hurried to be.
"As for the corpse," Rong Shoufu pondered, "The sixth girl has never been married, and Aunt Shuang is a concubine, so she can't enter the ancestral grave, and she doesn't need to be buried." On the mountain near the Zhuangzi, find a place to bury it. ”
This is something that the housewife should arrange, so the eldest lady will respond next.
This matter is not a big deal for Rong Shoufu and the eldest master. When they were done, they went back to the yamen.
The eldest lady sent a housekeeper to follow the housekeeper and took the mother-in-law to the family nunnery.
Because of his life, and the female scroll on the Rongshou Fu Mansion, the yamen naturally sent Wu Zuo to conduct an autopsy.
In the face of the two charred bones, one could only be roughly detected as a woman in her thirties and a girl in her thirties and a girl of thirteen or fourteen.
According to the height of the bones and the bones, he looked at them and said the general height and weight. This number has also been recognized by the housekeeper.
In the end, it was confirmed that these two people were Rongfu's aunt and sixth lady Rong Qiaoyan.
Now that the identity has been confirmed, some officials have taken a general look and concluded that the candle flame accidentally fell and ignited the broken wine in the house, and then ignited the tent and other things, allowing the fire to spread to the courtyard.
"Exactly, exactly. Yesterday was Miss Six's birthday. The sixth lady asked the old slave to fetch a lot of wine, and gave the old slave a pot. If it weren't for Miss Six's reward to the old slave, how could the old slave get drunk? Besides, Miss Six said that she would also celebrate with her aunt in the evening. Presumably, she and Aunt Frost drank wine in this house and got drunk, so they broke the wine jar and knocked over the candles. ”
Mrs. He, who was pressed next to her, cried and shouted in defense.
Between the lines, she was drunk because of Rong Qiaoyan.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the side: "Even if it's out of the water, why don't you save it?" You live in the front yard, how can you not see the water? ”
Everyone looked up and saw that Miaozhi, who had come in a hurry, was leaning on Yan Wei's arms, crying breathlessly.
After Miaozhi got up in the morning, she always felt flustered and a little uncomfortable.
However, she attributed it to the fact that she had eaten too much wine with Miss yesterday, so she was uncomfortable.
However, when Shixin hurriedly came to tell the news, she could no longer control her fainting.
It turned out to be the little maid in Rong's mansion who was good friends with Shixin, and secretly came to Miaozhi's house to tell Shixin about it.
The core pick-up is also a heart. She was ransomed from the house by Miaozhi, but she thought that Miss Six would always have to go back in the future.
So I secretly befriended a few little maids with good character, in order to inquire about Rong Qiaoyan in the future.
At this moment, the little maid heard the news and really came to tell it.
The core was also shocked, and hurriedly ran to tell Miaozhi.
But unexpectedly, Miaozhi actually fainted directly.
So, he hurriedly sent someone to find Yan Wei.
When Yan Wei rushed back, Miaozhi had just woken up.
Miaozhi, who woke up, kept letting Yan Wei ride a horse to the family nunnery.
Therefore, they were not much later than the housekeeper, and they happened to hear the sophistry of Mrs. He. Miaozhi, who was angry, couldn't help but scold.
Hearing this, Mrs. He lowered her head, and could only mumble words like "accident, accident".
Yan Wei looked at He Pozi's depressed appearance with a cold face, and helped the heartbroken Miaozhi to sit down on the stool brought by the next person.
He pulled the steward forward and asked.
The steward also knew Yan Wei's identity, so he naturally respectfully told what Mrs. He did.
In this way, Yan Wei's face became darker and darker.
"Yan Guard, don't worry. This woman will definitely pay for Miss Six's life. We have already interrogated. This woman has indeed done a lot of evil things without telling the master's house. is not only greedy for drinking and gambling on weekdays, but also often pawns Miss Six's things. We're not going to let it go. ”
The steward was a clever man. Seeing that Miaozhi and Yan Wei paid so much attention to Miss Six, they naturally did not hesitate to throw out a scapegoat.
What's more, this kind of dereliction of duty to the point of losing two lives will naturally not be left behind.
He saw that Yan Wei's brows still didn't stretch at this moment, and he actually directly asked the woman to pull the mother-in-law to fight in the courtyard.
Just said that it was so that the ghost of Miss Six could see it.
Dozens of big boards are played, and He Pozi only has the gas out, not the in.
When the steward saw this, he asked He Pozi to be dragged to the Zhuangzi, thrown into the firewood room, and left to fend for himself.
