Chapter 116: Fooled
Since the two of them had been friends before, they should be able to get more details from her.
"I ......" This maid's name is Yunya, she has not slept all night, and her expression is a little dazed.
Yun Ya only thought about passing the level in front of her, but seeing that the two people in front of her were not good, she was worried that she would cause trouble if she told the truth, "What do you want to do?" As he spoke, his knees weakened, but he fell to the ground and kowtowed to Gu Wanchao, "I really, I really don't know anything......"
Gu Wanchao understood her feelings, the people close to her died suddenly, and the cause of death was confusing, which was a sad thing, and now even such a thing as burning paper to pay tribute can't be done openly.
"The cause of Hongdan's death is suspicious, and the body was found in the river this morning, and we suspect that he drowned." Gu Wanchao still kept an eye on it, deliberately told the half-truths and half-truths of the matter, and observed Yun Ya's reaction.
"What?" Yun Ya was indeed shocked when she heard this, "How could you find out in the river channel, didn't she get killed because she did something wrong?" ”
Xiao Yu'an glanced at the two of them at night, and it seemed that the beating happened before the body was thrown.
"It's last night, I don't know what Hongdan did to anger the princess, so I was pulled to the back of the firewood room by the housekeeper, I only heard the screams constantly, and then there was no sound, early this morning someone said, Hongdan died, was dragged to the mass grave, I didn't even see her last side, how could she be in the river?" Yun Ya couldn't believe such a fact.
The status of the maid is low, because the deed of sale is in the hands of the master, everything must be low and small and do not say, but if she does something wrong, she will be whipped.
Gu Wanchao looked at Yun Ya trembling with fear, and when she lowered her head, she saw that there seemed to be a whiplash wound on the wrist exposed under her sleeve, "You are Li Changning's personal maid, does she often beat you?" ”
If this is the case, Yun Ya is worried about nothing more than whether her fate will be the same as Hongdan's situation, and she will also die without a place to be buried.
Li Changning's uncertain temperament, as well as the problem of whipping the people around him at every turn, really learned Li Yu's style thoroughly.
"Yes." Yun Ya covered her wounds with some embarrassment.
She was scared because she was beaten by Li Changning, and now she will only subconsciously defend her master, without realizing the right or wrong of this matter itself, "I did it wrong......
Gu Wanchao frowned, and his voice softened, "This matter is very important, Hong Dan's death may not be as simple as it seems, I need to know more information in order to return Hong Dan's innocence." ”
"Does her death still alarm the above?" Yun Ya was indeed absent-minded, she suddenly saw the token Gu Wanchao was wearing on her waist, and she was surprised in her heart.
When Gu Wanchao heard this, he subconsciously bowed his head.
I was surprised in my heart, this token was an object that the emperor identified to the officials during his private visit, how could she recognize it as a little maid?
Then Yun Ya seemed to have made some decision, and she said slowly: "I know that there is a path in front of you that can go to Hongdan's room, but there are few people walking there, so it shouldn't be discovered." ”
When Gu Wanchao followed, he found that Xiao Yu'an, who had been silent, seemed to be pondering.
"I don't think this person is right." Xiao Yu'an said that after a long time in officialdom, he has become accustomed to it, and he is suspicious of the words of others.
"If Hongdan is killed, there will be traces of new injuries on the corpse, but the fact is that there are only a few old scars, and the only fatal wound is the back of the head, which contradicts this woman's statement, that there is only one possibility, that is, this woman lied."
Gu Wanchao was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at Yun Ya's back, only to feel that this person was scheming, and he couldn't help but be more guarded.
"If she really took us to Hongdan's room after a while, and carefully looked for the mattress and box, maybe there would be clues." Xiao Yu'an saw Yun Ya looking back to see if they were keeping up, and quickly ended the topic.
"This is it." Yun Ya pushed open the side room in front of him, there was only a bed, and a small wooden cabinet placed in the corner, presumably used to store clothes and sundries.
Gu Wanchao looked at this humble environment, and only felt that there was nowhere to stay, Li Changning was really harsh to his subordinates, and the personal maid didn't even have a spacious residence.
She still remembered Xiao Yu'an's words, as if she had unintentionally walked around and looked, but the hand hidden under the big sleeved robe touched the bed inadvertently.
At this time, Xiao Yu'an was cooperating on the side, blocking Gu Wanchao with his tall body, and continued to interrogate Yun Ya about other details to distract her.
Gu Wanchao touched the object that looked like paper, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly put her in his cuffs.
Xiao Yu'an is really experienced, and he can guess this.
After getting what she wanted, Gu Wanchao muttered that she had found nothing, but motioned for Xiao Yu'an to leave with her eyes.
Since Yun Ya's words are not credible, then there is a high probability that they are Li Changning's cronies, and the information about the beating just now is just to confuse them, I am afraid that as soon as the two of them walk on the front foot, Li Changning will know that they came to the princess's mansion with a token to investigate.
This time out of the mansion was not as embarrassed as when he came in over the wall, Yun Ya sent the two to the side door.
When Gu Wanchao turned around, he heard the voice of the person behind him extremely clearly, "The matter is getting bigger, I have to go back and tell the princess quickly." ”
When Gu Wanchao wanted to learn more details through his heart, he turned around but saw no one.
"What did you find?" Xiao Yu'an asked aloud on the side.
"How do you know what I'm looking for?" Gu Wanchao sold a pass.
"If you hadn't found it, you wouldn't have left so quickly."
Gu Wanchao felt in a trance that Xiao Yu'an might also have the ability to read minds, otherwise why did this person always guess accurately.
Gu Wanchao felt out from the cuff, it was a letter, but there was something wrong.
"This ...... It was as if the letter had been opened. Gu Wanchao looked at the seal of the envelope, and there was a torn crack.
Hongdan seemed to have guessed that his life was short, and wrote a suicide note in advance.
But this suicide note has already been read by others.
"She put the important evidence in the mezzanine of her clothes......" Gu Wanchao suddenly woke up after reading the content.
"It's the dress just now!"
She was deceived.
Although Li Changning learned that Li Yu was brutal, the characteristic of prudence has also grown in practice.
Since she dares to kill, she must have taken care of everything.
Hongdan's room bore the brunt of the attack, how could she leave evidence for her to get her hands on?
Yun Ya's behavior of burning clothes just now was already very strange, but now that I think about it, it is not to express sorrow, but to sell stolen goods.
"This letter should also be to mislead me, making me think that I have found the most critical evidence, but in fact, it ......" Gu Wanchao gritted her teeth, but she didn't expect her to be put on a table by Li Changning.
