It was easy for Qin Zeng to kill Guo Qian, but it was pointless to do that.

The real uprooting is to let the Guo family automatically and spontaneously exclude Guo Qian and no longer regard him as their own.

He commanded his subordinates, "Bring men up."

Everyone looked to the door, and a woman in her forties was led indoors, cowering. ap.

She looked at the people in the room, her eyes swept wildly, then she lowered her head, and knelt down carefully, her embarrassed hands not knowing where to put them.

Chen Yan didn't know that Qin Zeng had such an arrangement, and he asked, "Who is kneeling?"

The woman was dressed in an indigo short muslin shirt, with a round bun neatly pulled behind her head, and her speech was quite smooth: "Folk woman Tian's ......"

Guo Qian's eyes were fixed on Tian, thinking quickly in his mind, but he really couldn't remember if he had seen this woman.

Qin Zeng's tone was much calmer and gentler in the face of this civilian woman, and he asked, "Are there any people you have seen here?"

Tian cautiously raised his head and looked around the hall cautiously before replying, "There is no one the people that the people have seen."

Guo Qian breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and then became suspicious again.

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Qin Zeng took out a small portrait of a woman from his sleeve and unfolded it, and asked Tian, "What about this one?"

The portrait shows a middle-aged woman, standing in front of a mansion with her back to her face and smiling, with a good appearance, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she looks very kind......

Chen Yan also took a closer look at the portrait, and saw that the position where she was standing was in front of the Guo Mansion, this gesture was obviously to leave a certain place, and the portrait was taken as a souvenir.

Qin Zeng opened his mouth and said, "Where is your home, who else is in your family, when and where you have seen this person, you tell me carefully."

Everyone's eyes in the room were focused on Tian's body, which made her a little nervous, and said, "The folk woman lost her husband at an early age, and there is a son in the family, who runs an incense and candle shop in Shixiangfang in Dongcheng. The person in the portrait came to the shop to buy incense and candles......

When Guo Qian heard the words incense and candle shop, his face changed instantly.

It's just that everyone in the room looked at Tian, and almost no one noticed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at everyone, and forcibly suppressed his expression, not letting the expression on his face reveal the secrets in his heart.

Chen Yan opened his mouth for Qin Zeng and asked, "Since it is Qingming, there should be many people who buy incense and candles, but why do you have such a clear memory of the woman on this portrait?"

Tian shrank his hand and said, "At that time, I was making red date paste for porridge with Dahu, that is, my son, and this woman had a kind face and seemed to be in a very good mood. Because there are many people who have such needs, I am also more experienced, and I quickly negotiated with her about the price and other matters. When she saw that I was making jujube paste, she said that adding some bitter almonds would make it less sweet, and she happened to have some in her hand, so she offered to give some to me...... So, I invited her to sit down ......."

The room was silent, everyone was holding their breath and listening to her, but seeing that no one said anything, she had to continue: "I saw that she was kind and felt that I wanted to invite her to come often, but she shook her head and said that she was going back to her hometown soon. I saw that she seemed to be looking forward to it, and her expression was full of light, knowing that she was going back to be reunited with her relatives, which is why she was so happy. Immediately, he cut a piece of red rope and tied a strand of hair to her......

The people in the market have the custom of tying their hair for the people who travel, which means that the travel is auspicious and smooth, and they need to think about their relatives and friends from time to time, which means that they are looking forward to seeing each other again.

Qin Zeng saw that she finished speaking, so he showed the portrait in his hand to everyone, and said, "The woman on the portrait is named Xu Fen, and in Guo's mansion, her name is Fen Niang, and she is the nurse of Second Young Master Guo."

Everyone in Guo Mansion naturally knows Fen Niang, because she is the person of the second young master, she is very dignified in the house, some time ago, the second young master gave grace and sealed a sum of pension silver to let her go back to her hometown to reunite with her relatives, and the people in the house also discussed this matter and felt very envious.

Qin Zengmian did not

expression, but Guo Qian was terrified to the extreme, "So what? It's just to buy some incense and candles, and what does it have to do with today's events."

Qin Zeng said lightly: "It is true that it has nothing to do with today's events, but it can prove that you harbored evil intentions and assassinated your adoptive mother, Second Lady Guo."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, but a chill suddenly appeared on the back of Second Mrs. Guo.

She slowly turned her head to look at Guo Qian, and the look of confusion and shock and disbelief made everyone present feel abnormal.

Guo Qing asked, "What's going on?"

Guo Qian also hurriedly defended: "Mother, this is all nonsense!"

Second Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Qian fixedly for a while before she said, "Someone, go and get some incense and candles from my house."

Guo Qian stretched out his hand and grabbed Second Mrs. Guo's sleeve: "Mother, don't you believe in your son?"

Second Madam Guo pursed her lips tightly, her expression was complicated, and it was obvious that heaven and man were at war.

Chen Yan said: "Things in the house have their own distribution, incense and candles, I don't know who is in charge of the house?"

Mrs. Guo has been watching, as the eldest sister-in-law, she is not good at pointing fingers about the second room, but when asked about her at this time, she said generously: "The middle feed in the house is in charge of me and my second brother and sister, and the incense candle is in our big room. But I never let anyone go to Tian's shop to order incense and candles, and I didn't have any private contact with Fen Niang."

She has always had a good relationship with her younger siblings, at least much better than Guo's, who is an aunt and grandmother.

Mrs. Guo also confides her dissatisfaction with Guo's sister-in-law on weekdays, and Mrs. Guo often asks her husband to persuade her younger brother not to be close to Guo's mother and daughter in everything.

After Guo Chongli had an accident because of the secret weapon, the second wife Guo also cried to the eldest lady and discussed countermeasures together.

Chen Yan heard the words and said, "In this case, the matter of incense and candles should not be related to the people in the second room."

Guo Qian said impatiently, "Fen Niang is old, I remember that she has taken care of me for many years, and gave her silver money to let her go back to her hometown to live for a long time, those incense candles may be taken back to her hometown to give away, and this is her private matter, even if it is my nursing mother, I may not ask about everything."

"Then Second Young Master Guo, can you know why Fen Niang went to Dongcheng to buy incense and candles? And where do the precious spices come from?"

Guo Qian did not hesitate, and said: "I am not thin on her on weekdays, she still has some silver in her hand, since she is going to take it back to her hometown to give it away, she naturally wants to make some good things to bring back, as for why she went to the east of the city, it is probably because the price of the order in the east of the city is cheaper."

When Chen Yan heard him say this, he looked at Qin Zeng.

Qin Zeng glanced at Guo Qian lightly, "Then do you know where she is now?"

Guo Qian said, "Naturally, he has already left."

"Did she really go back to her hometown?"

Qin Zeng motioned to Chen Yan to pick up the portrait and pass it to everyone in the room to watch, everyone looked at it one by one, and when he arrived at Cui Chun, he pinched this thin piece of paper with both hands, his eyes were round, and he was stunned.
