"Our Hou Ye learned from Yan Qiao's mouth what Lin Yi did, and asked people to investigate it as soon as possible, and the result was ......" Lord Rongling shook his head, "With Lin Yi's current situation, he can't do it at all." ”

The county lord of Yuanheng had a solemn face, "This is strange, who did Yang'er offend and cause people to harm him so hard?" It seems that you still have to find out the thief before you can know the whole story. ”

"That's the hard part, I can't think of anyone who could do such a thing! And there were not many people who had time to commit crimes that night. ”

Lord Rongling frowned, and said to the two: "Jin Ling was on night duty that night, I rarely got up at night, and I don't know if she left, Yinling and Jin Ling were in the same room, Jin Ling was on duty at night, she was in the room by herself, and no one could prove whether she had been in the room or not." And Lan Xin and Green Peach found Lingling incense in the room, Lan Xin fell into a deep sleep, Green Peach woke up with severe stomach pain and went to the toilet, and the mother-in-law who patrolled that night took two maidservants and saw this scene......"

Li Qingyi saw that she was at a loss, so she asked, "Did my aunt go to find out how Lu Tao's body was transported out of the house?" ”

Lord Rongling nodded.

Previously, after being reminded by Chang Yan, she immediately asked people to check.

"The mother-in-law who patrols the night on the third watch saw Green Peach going to the thatched house, and at the fifth watch, there were people who got up to work one after another, so Green Peach should have been killed during this time period and transported out of the house."

(One night is divided into five watches, one shift is divided into five o'clock, one point is 24 minutes in modern times, and five watches are more than three o'clock in the morning.) ）

"According to my aunt, Green Peach was killed in the middle of the night when she got up to go to the toilet, and was transported out of the house before the people got up, and during this time, everything in the house was locked, right? Can there be traces of the door lock being picked? ”

Lord Rongling shook his head, "No, so the clue was interrupted again when it came here." ”

"The door is locked, and the body has indeed been transported out, so there must be some way...... Li Qingyi pondered: "In the middle of the night to the early morning when people get up, what can be out of the house?" In other words, after the subordinates got up, who was the first person to leave the house? ”

Lord Rongling hesitated: "The mother-in-law in charge of purchasing? ”

The county lord of Yuanheng shook his head, "The first person to open the door should be the rough envoy who poured the night incense." ”

Lord Rongling was stunned, "Is it difficult to ......"

Li Qingyi said: "That's it, although the mother-in-law who is responsible for buying leaves the house early, she must be empty-handed when she goes out. But the one who poured the night incense will carry out the night incense barrel. When the green peach was found, there was no trace of feces and urine on the body, and it should have been packed in an empty bucket, so someone outside the house must have answered, otherwise she would have been discovered, so the person who came to collect the night incense in the early morning of that day had a problem. ”

The county lord of Rongling was angry that the green peach was actually packed in a dirty night incense barrel, and was surprised that Li Qingyi could easily think of the key to the problem, and his expression was complicated for a while, and he couldn't react for a while.

The county lord of Yuanheng looked at Li Qingyi, "Yi'er, help people to the end, why don't you check this matter for your aunt." ”

Li Qingyi said in her heart, she wanted to help Qin Zeng block the peach blossoms, and she also had to check Aunt He, who was old Rong Changbo, and she had enough things to think about in her head, but looking at the eyes of the county lord of Rongling asking for help, she could only sigh, "Aunt doesn't think I'm stupid, I'll help my aunt think of a way." ”

When the county lord of Rongling heard this, his mood immediately improved, "It's best to have you to help me, where can I dislike it?" ”

Li Qingyi looked at Changning: "Good girl, your opportunity to make meritorious service has come again." ”

Yesterday, Changning went to Dali Temple to listen to the excitement, and went back to tell Li Qingyi that he was credited with a small credit, and Changning was very satisfied and decided to be diligent.

She replied, "Yes, the slave will go now, and I will definitely help the girl find out clearly!" ”

At this time, there was a sudden strange noise outside the door.

Lord Rongling frowned, "Who's outside?" ”

Hearing her ask aloud, a girl's voice came, "County master, the slave has something to report......

When the county lord of Rongling heard that the person who spoke was Lan Xin, he raised his voice to beckon her in.

Changning glanced at Lan Xin, turned sideways to avoid her, and went out in a puff of smoke.

Lan Xin's face was haggard, his eyes were swollen, and when he saw the county lord of Rongling, he knelt down and offered something with both hands, "County lord, the rough envoy found this ...... in the gong bucket containing the night incense."

The county lord of Rongling just listened to Li Qingyi's speculation, and immediately thought of something when he heard the words, and stepped forward to see that on the silk handkerchief spread out in Lan Xin's hand, there was a turquoise-colored and exquisitely styled silk.

"It's a green peach thing!"

Because of her name, the clothes and accessories she wears on weekdays are mostly green and blue, and other girls consciously avoid this color because they are afraid of her or hate her.

Of course, this is not absolute, it is impossible for everyone in the house not to wear green things, but this is a little special, it is the green peach last year's birthday, Lan Xin specially made it for her, the style is exquisite and complicated, it takes two or three days to make it, and she is the only one in the house.

Lan Xin's eyes were full of tears: "Yes, this is the slave maid who personally gave the green peach a lot." Presumably, the green peach took the opportunity of pouring night incense from the coarse subordinates to leave the house. ”

The county lord of Rongling did not tell anyone that he recognized the body of Lu Tao in Dali Temple, and the whole house did not know that Lu Tao was dead.

Therefore, the appearance of this thing in the night incense barrel shows that Green Peach consciously wants to escape from the house, so her charge of absconding in fear of crime is confirmed.

Li Qingyi looked at Lan Xin, who was embarrassed, "It seems that you have a good relationship with Green Peach." ”

Lan Xin wiped a handful of tears and replied: "Yes, a few girls around the county lord, the slave maid and the green peach have been together for the longest time, and the two of us live together, like sisters, she did such a thing, the slave maid felt very uncomfortable." ”

Lan Xin's eyes were bloodshot, and she hadn't slept well for a few days.

Li Qingyi didn't continue to ask, and the county lord of Rongling waved her down.

"It seems that you guessed correctly, the green peach was indeed hidden in the night incense barrel and transported out of the house."

Li Qingyi looked at Na Luozi thoughtfully, "This blue heart is also the big girl next to my aunt?" ”

Lord Rongling nodded, "After I married into the Yongping Marquis Mansion, the big girls around me also pointed to the stewards of the mansion and became the stewards, so I promoted Green Peach and Blue Heart to come up, and the two of them were one Bansu and one friendly, and the affairs in the courtyard were well organized, and there were few times when I needed to worry about it." ”

Li Qingyi said: "It seems that Lan Xin's popularity is very good. ”

Lord Rongling looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

"The green peach is strong and cold, but the blue heart is friendly and easy to get along with, and the two of them control their subordinates on weekdays, they must be one singing with a white face and the other with a red face. Of course, the one who sings red face is more popular, and the more they are afraid of hating Green Peach, the closer they get to Blue Heart and think she is good. ”
