"Who is it?"

The two county lords asked in unison.

It's a matter of human life, Changning doesn't dare to sell Guanzi, "It's Lanxin's brother Xu Fang." ”

Lord Rongling stood up suddenly, "The person who came to collect the night incense in the early morning of that day is Lan Xin's brother?" ”

This undoubtedly proves Li Qingyi's guess from the side.

She asked, "What does Xu Fang do for a living?" ”

"It's a scholar, and I've always relied on my sister Lan Xin to provide for it, and the relationship between the brother and sister is good, but Xu Fang has tried and failed, and the brother and sister have quarreled many times on whether to continue studying."

Li Qingyi said: "I guess it was Lan Xin who wanted his brother to continue studying, but Xu Fang didn't want to rely on his sister anymore, so he wanted to give up studying." ”

"How does the girl know?"

"Lan Xin is soft and easy to get along with, but in fact her heart is very high, otherwise, she would not be careful everywhere, for fear of doing something wrong and losing her current status, but she is always tired of fighting alone, she probably fantasizes that one day her brother will be able to win the title and change her fate."

The county lord of Yuanheng asked, "Then how did Xu Fang replace the night fragrance woman?" ”

Changning said: "The place where the Xu family lives is not decent, and the people around them are all doing the next nine fashions. The neighbor of the Xu family, known as Aunt Wang, was an orphan and widow, and there was no way out, so he became a night fragrance woman. Aunt Wang ate her stomach badly, and her legs became weak, and she saw that she was about to delay work, so she had to ask Xu Fang. It's not the first time this has happened. ”

Lord Rongling couldn't help but ask: "He, a scholar, can actually pull down his face to help people collect night incense?" ”

Changning said: "Xu Fang has a gentle temperament, not the kind of pedantic person who thinks highly of himself, and gets along well with his neighbors on weekdays, but Lan Xin feels that living with these people will affect his brother's study, and has always wanted him to live in another place, but Xu Fang said that books and ink are already a big expense, and he doesn't want to spend more on the residence, so he has been living there." Because Aunt Wang is alone, he has a lot of care on weekdays, so if Aunt Wang can't go to work because of something, he will go to help. ”

The county lord of Rongling listened to her explanation, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Such a person, will he help his sister kill someone?" ”

Changning disagreed, "Between his sister and strangers, he must help his sister, and besides, Aunt Wang and Lu Tao have the same diarrhea, and they are on the same night, which is too much of a coincidence." ”

Lord Rongling frowned, and raised his voice to call Jin Ling in.

Seeing her solemn face, Jin Ling hesitated and asked, "County Lord, what do you command?" ”

"Go and bring me the blue heart."

Jin Ling was stunned, thinking that Lan Xin hadn't just come, and then she suddenly realized something, glanced at the people in the room with some trepidation, and quickly retreated.

After a while, Lan Xin came to the county lord of Rongling again.

The county lord of Rongling didn't even wait for Jin Ling Yinling to withdraw, and asked, "Blue heart!" Did you kill the green peach? ”

Jin Ling Yinling turned around in astonishment when she heard such a question, and even someone outside the door heard the voice and looked over.

Lan Xin looked around in a panic, as if he felt that those eyes were too dazzling, and immediately retorted: "How can the slave kill the green peach!" How could a slave kill a green peach? ”

Lord Rongling looked at her, "Why did you say that you didn't kill the green peach?" Your first reaction, shouldn't you ask, if the green peach is dead, or how? ”

Lan Xin shrank her shoulders and denied it, "The slave and maid were wronged, and they were out of proportion for a while, so they only cared about arguing and asking the county lord for forgiveness." ”

Lord Rongling narrowed his eyes and remembered something, "We were talking in the house just now, are you eavesdropping outside?" ”

Lan Xin's face changed, "How dare the slave." ”

Lord Rongling looked at Jin Ling Yinling, "You have been guarding outside?" ”

The two girls glanced at each other and knelt down.

Yinling was so frightened that she didn't know what to say, so Jin Ling had no choice but to speak: "The county lord instructed the slaves and maids to retreat, so the slaves and maids have been guarding under the corridor." Sister Lan Xin took the clothes of the county lord over, saying that the county lord has been too worried these days, people have lost weight, and the waist should be closed two inches, so that Yinling can run to the sewing room, originally found a little girl for this matter, but Sister Lanxin said that she wanted to drag a favor, and let Yinling's sister-in-law go back to the house to buy, help her find a few rare ropes to use, and Yinling went. ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glance up at Lan Xin, and saw that the corners of her clothes seemed to be trembling, thinking of the county lord's shout, her heart was shocked, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, "After that, Sister Lan Xin said to the slave maid again, the county lord and Miss Li are distinguished guests, don't slack off, let me go to the small kitchen to make a few delicious snacks myself, she helped the slave and maid guard under the porch, and the slave maid went to the small kitchen......"

Lord Rongling's eyes cooled and looked at Lan Xin, "After Jin Ling Yinling left, you ran outside the house to eavesdrop, but I didn't expect Yi'er to suddenly let Changning out, you were afraid that Changning would bump into you when she went out, and you panicked and made a move, so when I asked who was outside, you excused yourself and said that there was something to report!" ”

Lan Xin shook his head with a white face, "The county lord has wronged the slave maid, and the slave and maid lingered outside the house because of the green peach's connection, not intentionally eavesdropping." ”

The county lord of Rongling frowned when he heard this, and looked at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi had no choice but to continue interrogating Lan Xin for her, "Actually, if it weren't for this Luozi, I wouldn't have been able to suspect you for a while." ”

Lan Xin looked at the rope on the table, not knowing what was wrong with this thing.

Li Qingyi said: "You eavesdropped outside the door and accidentally made a movement. simply took out the yarn prepared in advance and showed it to the county lord, but as everyone knows, your move is really a bit of a snake. Green Peach felt a sharp pain in her stomach that night so she had to go to the thatched house, she must have slept before, and after getting up, she would only put on her clothes, and it was difficult to wear the accessories on her body as well? ”

Lan Xin's head was stunned, and everyone instantly understood the problem.

But Lan Xin defended in the next moment: "What Lu Tao said was false, she didn't go to the thatched house, but to take the opportunity to escape, and she definitely didn't take off her clothes that night!" ”

"But the green peach was obviously put into the night incense bucket after being killed, so where did it escape?"

Lord Rongling has completely understood: "You think I don't know that Green Peach is dead, so I brought this Luo Zi to me, and I want to make me feel that Green Peach is absconding in fear of crime!" As everyone knows, I have already seen the corpse of Green Peach in Dali Temple......"

When Lan Xin heard this, the words blurted out, "Impossible! ”

Lord Rongling said coldly: "What is impossible, do you want to say that the corpse of the green peach has been changed beyond recognition, and it is impossible for me to recognize it?" ”

Lan Xin reacted and immediately remedied: "No, the slave just doesn't believe that Green Peach is dead......"

The county lord of Rongling had no choice but to look at Li Qingyi's hard blue heart with a dead duck's mouth.

Li Qingyi had no choice but to speak again, "What you said is barely reasonable, but you are outside the house, you must not have heard me asking Changning to investigate anything." ”

Lan Xin slowly raised her head, looked at Li Qingyi, and clutched her cuffs tightly.

Li Qingyi said: "I asked Changning to investigate, it was the person who came to collect the night incense in the early morning of that day, and I also found your brother, Xu Fang." ”

Lan Xin heard his brother's name, and was shocked uncontrollably, "No, no, my brother is just helping Aunt Wang." It's all a coincidence! ”

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, whether it's the person or the corpse hiding in the night incense barrel, you already know it, right? Your brother must have seen Green Peach, right? ”

"He, he ......" Lan Xin was speechless when asked.

Lord Rongling said angrily: "You still don't tell the truth! ”

Lan Xin was frightened for more than a moment, her lips couldn't help but tremble, but she still forced herself to quibble: "It's Lu Tao who begged me for help...... I couldn't bear to help her with my brother...... However, who knew that she accidentally dropped this piece in the night incense barrel, and the rough subordinates found out and took it to me, and I had to report it to the county lord...... As for her death, it must have been killed after she escaped from the house. ”

Li Qingyi really admired Lan Xin's strain, but ......

"If your brother just helped Green Peach escape, how could he be bitten by a wolf?"

"What?"

Lan Xin was stunned.

"You shouldn't know that your brother was bitten by a wolf when he threw the corpse, and he didn't mention it to you because he was afraid that you would be worried."

Lan Xin's complexion changed and changed, "Maybe it's just a vicious dog ......"

Lord Rongling interrupted her with a sneer: "Blue Heart! Are you taking everyone for a fool?! Your brother lives in such a messy place, and whoever has a wind and grass can't wait to spread 108,000 miles! When did he do something, as long as he inquired a little, he couldn't hide anything! ”

Lan Xin's body was crooked, and he froze on the ground, finally stopping quibbling.

Li Qingyi continued: "After receiving the dung, the night incense woman will send it to the countryside to sell it to the farmer, so the dung truck will not be stopped at all when it goes out of the city. You asked Xu Fang to transport Lu Tao's body outside the city and throw it near the wolf's den, in fact, you wanted to pretend to be Yan Qiao's body, so that Lu Tao could live and not see anyone dead or see the body, creating the illusion of absconding in fear of crime, who knew that Qiao Yan was not dead at all, and was taken to Dali Temple. So you throw her veil in the night incense bucket, and when someone finds out, you can sit on the matter of Green Peach absconding in fear of crime, even if someone finds out that Green Peach is dead, it can be said that she was killed outside, right? ”

Lan Xin lowered her eyes and didn't answer, but asked, "The slave wants to know how the county lord recognized the green peach." ”

Lord Rongling said lightly: "Green Peach once smashed his foot bones in order to save Yang'er. ”

"So the county lord actually never believed that it was the green peach who stole the little marquis's short arrow?"

Lord Rongling looked at her coldly and didn't speak.

Lan Xin took a slow breath, then gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, no matter how hard the slave maid is, it can't compare to the position of the green peach in the county lord's heart." However, slaves and maids don't want to kill people because of this, but things are so unlucky......"
