Chapter 82: The Golden Phoenix
The next day, Lan Xiaoqiu heard the maid's cry: "Oh no, it's dead, come quickly." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu panicked in her heart, because the voice came from Aunt Jin's house. Something big happened, the Fang family was standing at the door, and Aunt Jin was lying straight on the bed, foaming at the corner of her mouth, and her face was dark, as if she had been poisoned and died.
Lan Xiaoqiu walked over tremblingly, and Fang Xu said angrily: "It's really bold, you actually dare to kill someone in the General's Mansion." ”
The maid cried, "I came to bring something to Aunt Jin to eat this morning, and she was like this when I saw her." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu closed her eyes, she didn't dare to face the scene in front of her, Aunt Jin died miserably, her hands clenched into fists, as if she had nostalgia for the world.
Fang Hao stepped forward to investigate Aunt Jin, and Fang Hao asked, "Who came yesterday?" ”
The maids shook their heads and said that they didn't know, Aunt Jin was originally living in a guest room, and she was just a crazy woman, so the family rarely paid attention to this place.
But Xu Ma said: "Last night at night, I seemed to hear movement, and when I came over, I saw that the lights were extinguished, and there was no sound, so I didn't care, I think it should be the time for the murderer to start." ”
"What else have you seen or heard?" Fang Hao asked carefully.
Mother Xu shook her head again and again: "I just heard a sentence of 'don't give' or something, I think she may be talking to herself as a crazy woman." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu stepped forward and shook Mother Xu desperately: "Mother Xu, why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you come in and take a look?" Even to inform us? ”
Fang Hao looked at Lan Xiaoqiu and was a little strange: "Su Jiu, how do you know that her name is Mother Xu?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu came to her senses at this time, because Mother Xu had been working in the kitchen, naturally she didn't see more than those maids, Lan Xiaoqiu was afraid of revealing her stuffing and hurriedly pointed to a maid: "It was Xiaoju who told me." ”
Xiao Ju scratched her head and thought about it: "Did I say it?" ”
Fang Hao wanted to say something, so he didn't say anything more, and Mother Xu sighed: "If I knew that this kind of thing would happen in the Fang family, I would have more eyes, it was really terrible, the bad guys came in like this." ”
At this time, Mrs. Fang heard the news and rushed over, saw Aunt Jin, and hurriedly covered her eyes: "Why did you die at home." ”
The implication of this is 'how to die in the Fang family and not die elsewhere'.
Although Mrs. Fang's words were unpleasant, this kind of thing was taboo for others, and Lan Xiaoqiu could only apologize: "Su Jiu has caused trouble for Mrs. Fang." ”
Mrs. Fang was about to say something, but was stopped by Fang Xu: "Hey, Brother Su, your Aunt Jin has an accident in our Fang family, why should we compensate for the right guess, your relatives are newly deceased, mourn." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu wanted to mourn, but now she didn't know how to tell her master, the old lover she had just met was separated by yin and yang for only one day, and Shen Zhi, who had already felt sorry for Aunt Jin, was now facing the fact that she had to die.
Fang Hao didn't know who Aunt Jin was, he said to Lan Xiaoqiu: "Listening to what Mother Xu said and my observation, I think Aunt Jin must have been desperately trying to protect something before, you see her hand clenched tightly, and she was bleeding." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu stepped forward to investigate, and sure enough, she saw that Aunt Jin's hand was in a clenched fist, and when she opened her fingers, there were scratches on the abdomen of her fingers, and she was bleeding.
Lan Xiaoqiu thought about it and looked for it in Aunt Jin's house: "It's gone, the golden hairpin is really gone." ”
Mrs. Fang asked, "What Jin Hai, do you have such valuable things as your madman relatives?" ”
Although Lan Xiaoqiu didn't like to listen to Mrs. Fang, she also had to tell the people present: "Aunt Jin has a golden hairpin on her, and she looks like a precious golden hairpin." ”
"What kind of golden hairpin is it?" Fang Xu asked.
"I saw it once, and it was a peony with a phoenix carved next to it." Fang Hao had seen Aunt Jin holding this golden hairpin from afar.
Lan Xiaoqiu said: "It turned out to be a phoenix, I thought it was a bird." ”
"......" Fang Hao.
Hearing this, everyone seemed to understand something, Fang Xu said: "The golden hairpin with the phoenix, isn't that only the queen there?" How in the hands of an ordinary person? ”
Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and said, "Aunt Jin's father was a military general of the previous dynasty, and it may have been favored by the queen. ”
Fang Xu shook his head: "There is only one queen who likes peonies. ”
"Who?"
Fang Xu said respectfully: "It's just that now she is no longer the queen, but the queen mother." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu and everyone were stunned when they heard this, how could a crazy woman still have something to do with the Queen Mother?
"She couldn't have stolen it, would she?" Mrs. Fang guessed.
Fang Xu shook his head: "The queen's inner courtyard is so big, how can she be so heavily guarded that an ordinary woman can steal it, Su Jiu, has this relative of yours ever been an errand in the palace?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu shook her head again and again when she heard this, because she didn't know what to say, or she didn't know anything, basically after Aunt Jin and Shen Zhizui separated, no one knew what was going on, thinking of this, Lan Xiaoqiu suddenly thought of the person he caught yesterday, it seemed that Fang Hao also felt the same, the two looked at each other, and their hearts were clear.
When everyone dispersed and found someone to settle Aunt Jin's death, Lan Xiaoqiu began to investigate the matter, and the first person who came to mind was Li Da, although Fang Hao's mind was flexible after all, but Lan Xiaoqiu couldn't let him know who Aunt Jin was.
Before Li Da started to investigate the matter, he had to find out what Aunt Jin's name was, and when Li Da asked Lan Xiaoqiu, Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the sky and looked at Li Da: "Is the name so important?" ”
Li Da: "......"
Because Lan Xiaoqiu knew that the only person who knew Aunt Jin's name now was Shen Zhidrunk, and Lan Xiaoqiu didn't know how to face him now.
Sure enough, Shen Zhidrunk couldn't wait for Lan Xiaoqiu, so he found the Fang family, Lan Xiaoqiu heard that an old man was looking for him, so he knew who it was, but at this time, he saw that Fang Hao was about to go out of the gate, Lan Xiaoqiu swept past Fang Hao with an arrow step, and went out first, and the moment Fang Hao went out, Lan Xiaoqiu covered Shen Zhizhui's face.
Seeing Fang Hao leave, Lan Xiaoqiu often breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Zhidrunk looked in his eyes: "How long do you want to hide from him?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu said: "In three months, I have to do what I want to do, and I can't have any ties." I don't want to bother him. ”
Shen Zhizui nodded: "It's really hard for you, what about her?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu hesitated: "Oh, Aunt Jin doesn't want to go out for some reason." ”
"Oh." Shen Zhizui seemed a little disappointed.
Lan Xiaoqiu asked, "Master, what is her surname?" ”
Shen Zhizui was a little surprised: "Didn't you call her Aunt Jin?" Her name is Jin Feng. ”
"Huh? Her real name is Kim. Lan Xiaoqiu not only snorted, it seemed that there was a certain number in the dark.
Noting these two names, Lan Xiaoqiu asked Li Da to investigate, although Li Da is now a master Shao Yan under Fang Xu, he can occasionally go to the palace to walk around, as a master among the masters, the palace Ouchi was secretly ordered by the queen to make a sign for them to enter the palace, and this kind of freedom Fang Xu has never had. After all, the person who leads these masters is the queen as the supreme leader, so it goes without saying that this group of people organized by the queen is likely to be ready to act against someone in the palace when the time comes.
Li Da has attracted the attention of many palace maids because of his handsome appearance and majestic figure, and has also set off a lot of turmoil everywhere he goes, but because people are cautious and don't say much, they are covered with a veil of mystery, which makes the palace maids like deer, if they give the palace maids a little look, they can be excited for several days and can't sleep.
Li Da stood in the flower bed, today is the day to report to the palace, although they know that they are organized by the queen, but every time they see only Ruyun, Li Da understands that this is the queen is afraid that her deeds will be exposed, and she can get out completely.
At this time, Li Da saw a palace maid coming from the Queen Mother's Palace, and it was rare to see people in the Queen Mother's Palace walking around on weekdays, which seemed to be as mysterious as the Queen Mother.
Li Da knocked off the hairpin on the palace maid's head with a small pebble in his hand, the palace maid didn't notice it at all, Li Da picked up the hairpin and handed it to the palace maid: "This sister, your hairpin has fallen." ”
The palace maid took the hairpin and was stunned when she saw that it was the beautiful son, and suddenly there were envious and jealous eyes from other palace maids, so Li Da talked a few words with the palace maid, and even made an appointment to meet secretly in the small garden after an hour.
Cheating in this palace is not allowed, if the palace maid cheats with the guards, she will be imprisoned, but an identity like Shao Yan is naturally protected by the queen, and the palace laws and regulations are not restricted.
The palace maid arrived as promised, and Li Daluo teased and sighed: "Actually, I still have a relative in the palace, I heard that he may have done things by the side of the queen mother before, called Jin Feng." ”
Hearing this name, the palace maid's hand trembled, and she hurriedly said that she had something to leave, Li Da felt even more strange, how could this palace maid who dared to come even at the risk of going to prison be frightened to go back when she heard the word Jin Feng, and the age of the palace maid was not the same as that of Jin Feng.
Li Da had an idea, pulled the palace maid and said, "Jin Feng is dead." ”
"What?" The palace maid trembled even more.
"Actually, Jin Feng is my relative, we have lost her news for a long time, she went crazy when we found her again, and died a few days ago, I think she may have done something in the palace, since my sister is unwilling to tell her, then I will personally ask the Queen Mother to understand. At the very least, I have to figure out how she died. Li Da was about to leave, but was pulled by the palace maid: "Absolutely not, you will lose your life." ”
Li Da pretended to be puzzled: "They all say that the Queen Mother is merciful, how could she take my life?" ”
The palace maid looked a little anxious as if she didn't know how to explain to Li Da, she said: "Jin Feng used to be the personal maid next to the Purple Queen, and then the Purple Queen Queen, I went to the Queen Mother's palace to do things, the Queen Mother didn't allow us to mention her, saying that whoever mentioned her would be beheaded, I entered the palace at the age of ten, and I was still trained by Aunt Jin Feng when I entered the palace." ”
"Aunt Jinfeng?" Li Da frowned: "It turns out that she wasn't crazy thirty years ago......"
