Chapter 164: Visiting the Manor
The broken walls in the courtyard of the creek should be due to the sun and rain but no one has cleaned and repaired it. But the inside of the room was clean, and even though the dust had covered the beds, couches and benches, you could see at a glance that the furniture was excellent.
Feast Bell leaned in from the window and said, "Fifth sister, you say...... One million taels of silver were placed in this courtyard, and the mother and daughter lived for five years, why didn't they find it? β
The fifth girl thought it was possible: "It was said that it was searched from the secret passage of the warehouse, even if someone lives in the yard, but the locked warehouse, the secret passage in the warehouse, there should be no way to find it, right?" It is a rented house to live here, and it is not his own home, where can I find the treasury of the main family. β
It makes sense. At that time, some people said that Sui Boying deliberately found irrelevant people to rent this house, just to cover up his crimes.
But now that the Suijia case has been said again, the fifth girl actually has something to say, saying: "What happened back then was really strange, from the beginning of the case to the beheading of Sui Boying, it was only seven days. In the past seven days, why did Your Majesty and Lord Buyuchuan think that Sui Boying was really corrupt? β
There must be something in this that they don't know. But the superiors wiped the traces clean, and there was no one to redress their grievances later, resulting in the ruins of the family that was like a city back then.
The feast bell stood under the porch, and opened two windows in succession, both of which were ordinary scenes. It's clean and clean, and there is no trace of living in it at all.
The two looked at a few more rooms, and then went to the door at the urging of Xu's mother. Mother Xu's head poked into the room, her expression was so nervous, and when she saw that the two little ancestors were still walking quickly, she complained: "Only my wife is in a hurry!" β
If this is in Lingnan, the robbers are coming, I really want to tear off my skirt and run bare-legged! Now in her eyes, entering this courtyard is like meeting a robber, and it is only right to hide out quickly.
As a result, it finally came out, and the two of them had to follow this side to those farmers' homes to take a closer look. Mother Xu shouted in her heart, what should I do if it is cold in this winter? Besides, what do farmers have to look at?
Feast Bell smiled and said, "It's just to see the farmers, I haven't seen such a farmer." β
The fifth girl also thought that she wanted to go and see it alone, so she was willing to accompany her. Yan Ling is a girl who is a little curious about everything, and such a trivial matter naturally satisfies her.
Mother Xu: "......"
She whispered to Guan Gui, "The girl has only been in Kyoto for a few days, and she has changed-our family is a farmer, right?" β
Guan Gui straightened his back proudly when he heard this, "Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about, we are from an official family." β
Mother Xu glared at her, but she didn't refute it. She went to the Sheng family early, and when the girl's father was not yet developed, she was indeed a Zhuang family, and later changed her faΓ§ade, married a young lady from the Hou Mansion, and was able to live in the Guogong Mansion.
Thinking like this, Xu's mother also straightened her waist and followed her to see the villager's house.
If she wants to look, she will take a closer look. The feast bell and the five girls looked around along the road, and she looked specifically at where there was someone for her to pull out and compare.
It's all poor people, but she has turned over.
Feast Bell was thinking about how to ask the people in Zhuangzi later, but she didn't notice her appearance, and the five girls saw it, chuckled, and thought that Mother Xu was really interesting.
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a house at the end of the mountain. The feast bell said that when the legs were tired, they should rest here.
Mother Xu and the others hurriedly went to talk to the people in the house, and then invited the two of them in. The old lady of the peasant family lived here, and she was accustomed to seeing nobles, and when she came forward to greet her, she did not show any restraint, and said with a smile: "Girls sit and rest, if there is anything you want, just tell us." β
The feast bell sighed, then looked at the house, and then said, "The house is well kept, and the old lady is a diligent person." β
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, now that the world is good, there can be such a good place to live at home, where can it be dirty and messy." β
The fifth girl had never been here before, and when she heard this, she was curious: "I listen to your accent, it doesn't look like someone here, right?" β
The old lady nodded, "Yes, we've only moved here for a few years. β
Feast Bell tightened his hand and said as calmly as possible: "This house doesn't look like it was built in recent years, did you buy the house?" β
Old lady: "Yes, the people who lived here said they wanted to go south to do business, so they sold the house to us. β
Feast Bell: "What year was it sold?" β
The old lady glanced at her curiously, "It's Jingtai twenty-three years." β
Jingtai 23 years...... It was a sensitive year.
Feast Bell and the five girls glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes. The fifth girl just heard the old lady's accent wrong and asked curiously, who knew that she could ask this.
They have ghosts in their hearts, after all, they just said about the case of Suijia in Xiaoxi makeup, and when they heard the words, they couldn't help but inquire carefully, and said, "Then have you seen the person who sold your house?" β
When the old lady heard this, she also glanced at them curiously, and then said, "This sentence...... Some nobles have also come to ask before. β
Feast Bell and the five girls glanced at each other again, their hearts tightened, and they said in unison: "Who?" β
Old lady: "It's not just one person, someone asked when I bought it four years ago, someone asked three years ago, and this year...... That is, a few days ago, a noble son also came to ask. β
Feast Bell thought for a while, "The person who came here some time ago looks a little like this girl?" β
The old lady glanced at the fifth girl and nodded in surprise, "Yes, it's really a little similar." β
The fifth girl understood that it should be the third brother.
It is normal for the third brother to investigate this case, but it is someone else......
But it's not unusual. There are always a few people who want to overturn the case for the family.
I hadn't explored this case before, but I didn't expect that there was a bend in it, and now the person who rested at will was changed four years ago, and I felt that this case had a feeling of wanting to cover up.
The old lady said with a smile: "Actually, when people came to the door one after another, I knew what case I should be involved in, and I also inquired, so I knew that it was related to such a big case." β
She had told many people about these things, so as soon as the nobleman asked, she said them all, "When we bought the yard, I talked to them a few words, saying that the people who lived in Xiaoxi Makeup before were from Jiangnan, and now that the mother is dead, there is only one daughter left, and they got some silver money from that daughter, so they want to send her back to Jiangnan, and because they feel that the north is difficult, they think it is better to go to the south to do business together." β
And it makes sense.
When he returned to the courtyard of the Ningguo Mansion, the feast bell said: "It looks strange, but if you look closely, it's normal." β
The fifth girl also felt strange. Aroused by curiosity, the next day he pulled the feast bell and went to the houses of other farmers to ask, but it turned out that these people either had never seen the mother and daughter of that family, or had already moved away.
In fact, there are not many families who have moved out, but only four or five households, which is normal because they all live in rented houses.
The fifth girl frowned and said, "Okay, when I found out something, it seemed to be surprising, but after careful questioning, it was reasonable again." β
Feast bell: "In this way, it's no wonder that the case was closed so quickly." β
But......
In this way, it was as if the mother and daughter had never been seen before.
That's right...... It's also unusual.
Mother Xu saw that they were entangled in this, and ran with them for two days, so she was also interested, and said: "In the courtyard of the deep house, they don't go out, who is going to see them?" People from outside must not be seen, but there must always be food and clothing, right? β
She is very experienced, "If you say that you can see them, you must be the one who will bring them food." β
Like her, she can still sleep in a girl's bed.
She said, "Even if there are no slaves to serve, there should be people who deliver food and rice, right?" Even if they don't, they should buy it, right? β
Living alone, where can there be no traces.
Her mother Xu didn't believe in this evil, and said: "You are in the spring and snow, where do you understand this, you have to come like an old slave." β
However, she also had her own thoughts, and said to the feast bell: "Why do you need to check it yourself? Wouldn't it be okay to write to ask the third young master? If he didn't know, there would be no rain river. Now that they have re-examined, it is convenient to look at the case file. β
The fifth girl explained, "Your Majesty has not yet issued an order, and the case file is still in the Criminal Department." β
Mother Xu: "Does the old man still have to read the case file?" β
The fifth girl thought for a moment and said, "You're absolutely right. β
But they didn't want to investigate the case before. The fifth girl was itchy in her heart and said, "Yanling, why don't we really write a letter to ask the third brother?" β
She wondered what was going on.
The feast bell lowered her head, "Then you write-"
He wouldn't tell me anyway.
She pursed her lips, "But I have a way to find out - if I find someone who has seen them and paint them to me, I can draw them." β
The fifth girl went over and hugged her and shouted, "Yan Ling, you are so powerful!" β
"I can't say you can help the third brother."
Ah, the fiancΓ© is working together to solve the case, and thinking about it, her heart is starting to be sweet again.
