Jian Xuan said again: "You said that Lu Suyun went back to the Lu Mansion alone last night, and there was no maid by her side?" ”

Yan Lin said sadly: "There is a maid, Su Yun plans to stay for a few months when she goes back to her parents' house this time, and she brings some more daily necessities, and the maid carries Su Yun's belongings in the carriage, Su Yun gets out of the car first, and goes back to Lu Mansion by herself." I persuaded her to come, saying that it was not safe for her to go back alone after dark, and asked her to wait for us for a while. Su Yun said that it was okay, her own road was familiar, she could walk to her mother-in-law's room with her eyes closed, she wanted to surprise her mother-in-law, she had always had a good relationship with her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law was strong, she always said the same, but she was very spoiled by Su Yun. Hey, I should have insisted that she not walk home alone. ”

Jian Xuan: "It's dark, what time do you arrive at the Lu family?" ”

Yan Lin: "It's time." ”

Jian Xuan: "At that time, the Lu family should have fallen asleep, when you rushed to Lu Suyun's side, who could you see?" ”

Yan Lin: "No, we arrived first, and then my mother-in-law arrived with the servants of the Lu family." ”

Jian Xuan: "Lu Suyun is six months pregnant, why do you want to go back to her parents' house to live, your husband and wife relationship."

Yan Lin hurriedly said: "My lord, we have a good relationship. Well.. If that money bag is fake. Yan Lin glanced at the money bag in Jian Xuan's hand and said: "I am a dart master, this time I am going to the capital to go darts, even if it is smooth, it will take more than half a month to go back and forth, I don't have any relatives at home, I am a little worried about Su Yun, Su Yun said that she can go back to her parents' house to live, and she can stay for a while longer, it just so happens that her sister-in-law is also six months pregnant, she can chat with her sister-in-law as a companion, and she can also ask her mother-in-law to teach her how to take care of the child." Su Yun said that he could wait for the child to be born before returning to Suizhou, I thought about it, I was much more relieved to have my mother-in-law to take care of Su Yun. And we went to the capital to go darts, and we were passing through Jinzhou, so we asked Su Yun to come with us, we were going to send Su Yun to the Lu family, we continued to rush to the capital this morning, who would have thought..."

The more Yan Lin spoke, the more sad he became, tears couldn't help but roll down, he turned his head and bowed his head, and wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve.

The coachman led the carriage over, Yan Lin and the coachman sat in front of the car to guide the way, Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Jian Xuan, Congxi, Lan Chu, and Congran got into the car and went to Lu's house together.

When they arrived at Lu's house, Yan Lin took everyone directly to the side of the rockery stone road, where Lu Suyun was killed. Lu Suyun's body had been put into the coffin and parked in the mourning hall. The stone road is more than one meter wide, it is paved with a piece of stone slab, smooth but not slippery, one side of the stone road is a rockery, some flowers and trees are planted next to the rockery, the other side is a lotus pond, there is a circular arch leading to the backyard in front, there is a dried blood stain in the half-height place of a rockery.

Qu Zaichen leaned over and stared at the ground and said, "There is indeed a very shallow slip mark here. ”

"There's a bead here." When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw Lan Chu bending down to pick up a gray bead, which was a meter away from the slip mark, Lan Chu handed the bead to Congxi, and Congxi looked at the bead and said: "It seems to be sandalwood, bracelet or necklace, could it be that Lu Suyun stepped on this bead and accidentally slipped and fell?" ”

Yan Lin hurriedly said: "That Su Yun's death was really an accident, hey, I knew it was like this, I said that I wouldn't bring her back." ”

"What are you doing?" A high voice sounded, everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a boy in brocade clothes walking towards them with two servants, the boy in brocade clothes was twenty-five or sixteen years old, some books were angry, and he seemed to be a little lame when he walked. ”

Yan Lin pointed to Jian Xuan and introduced, and hurriedly said to everyone: "This is Su Yun's eldest brother, Lu Shangwen." ”

Lu Shangwen raised his hand and saluted Jian Xuan, "I've seen Lord Jian." ”

Jian Xuan said: "Lu Suyun's death is a little suspicious, and the government has the responsibility to find out the truth, so please cooperate with Lu Gongzi." ”

Lu Shangwen hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, please ask Master Jian to command." ”

Before Jian Xuan could speak, he caught a glimpse of the Lu family's gatekeeper leading the government office Liang Chengzuo over, Jian Xuan instructed Liang Chengzuo to go to the mourning hall for an autopsy, Liang Chengzuo had just received the order, and Yan Lin hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that Su Yun stepped on a bead and slipped and fell and hit his head against a rockery and died, was it just an accident, why do you still have to conduct an autopsy?" She is already in the coffin, so don't disturb Su Yun's tranquility anymore, right? ”

Jian Xuan said: "It's just speculation, not conclusive, if she was really murdered, do you want her and the child to die unjustly?" ”

Yan Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, if you don't find out the truth, the matter will be left in your heart, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to feel at ease for the rest of your life." ”

Liang Qizuo went to the mourning hall, and Yan Lin hesitated for a moment and followed.

Jian Xuan looked at Lu Shangwen and said, "Yan Lin said that Lu Suyun had an accident last night, and it is troublesome for Gongzi Lu to gather all the people in the Lu Mansion, and this official wants to find out where they were last night?" ”

Lu Shangwen was embarrassed and said: "Okay, but my mother was overly sad and fainted because of the death of her little sister, and she hasn't woken up yet, and her inner family is taking care of her." ”

Jian Xuan said: "Then recruit everyone else first, you only have two brothers and sisters?" ”

Lu Shangwen said: "Yes." ”

Jian Xuan said: "There is Lao Lu Gongzi." ”

Lu Shangwen nodded and turned around.

Jian Xuan, Qu Zaichen, and Congxi saw that there was a stone table and stone bench next to the rockery, and there was an open space next to it, so they walked over, there were only four stone benches, Congxi, Lan Chu, and Yun Xian were not polite, and sat down together, there was still a stone bench left, and they looked at Qu Zaichen and Jian Xuan did not dare to sit down.

Congxi spoke first: "I feel that Lu Shangwen didn't react much when he heard that Lu Suyun was murdered, and he didn't actively look for the real culprit, it seems that he still has some rejection, is it that their brother and sister are not harmonious?" ”

Yun Xian said: "Or he just thinks that Lu Suyun just fell and died unexpectedly." We are doing this too much, to make trouble, people have to do funerals, there is a fainting old woman to take care of, and to accompany us to toss things, naturally our hearts are not happy. ”

Congxi: "But a big prostitute's money bag appeared at the place where Lu Suyun died, doesn't he suspect that there is another hidden reason for her sister's death?" He glanced at Qu Zaichen, and Qu Zaichen looked at the pond as if he hadn't heard it.

Yun Xian: "Looking at Lu Shangwen's words and deeds, he should strictly abide by etiquette and rules when he behaves normally, perhaps because he is worried that the thief will ruin his sister's reputation and wants to calm down the incident as soon as possible." ”

Congxi nodded and said: "This is possible, but I care about reputation, more than my sister's life, and another person who is not fun, right?" ”

Yun Xian laughed and said, "Congxi is really a fun person. ”

Jian Xuan continued: "What is the relationship between Lu Shangwen and Lu Suyun's brother and sister, let's ask Yan Lin in detail later." ”

After a while, Lu Shangwen took more than 20 servants of the Lu family to Jian Xuan, Qu Zaichen, and Congxi, and Jian Xuan asked them to line up in two columns, walked in front of them one by one, and asked them to answer where was Hai Shi last night? At that time, it was already more than half of the hour, everyone had basically fallen asleep, and some insomnia only chatted in the room, and the servants of the Lu family were two or three people in a room, and they could basically testify to each other, and there was a maid who said that she was not in the house at that time, and accompanied Lu Shangwen Gongzi and Mrs. Lu Shao to the Natural Medical Center.

Jian Xuan looked at Lu Shangwen: "Natural Medicine Hall? ”

Lu Shangwen hurriedly said: "Yes, last night the insider was a little unwell, I accidentally twisted my ankle the night before, so I took a carriage with the insider to the natural medical hall, we went to the hospital, there was a serious patient in the medical hall at that time, we waited for a while, delayed for some hours, and only returned home when it was almost a child, and found that the house was in chaos, and Su Yun had already had an accident." ”

Lu Shangwen's expression darkened, and his eyes were extremely sad, and when everyone saw it, they felt that Lu Shangwen still cared about Lu Suyun very much.

Jian Xuan: "Mrs. Venerable is okay, right?" ”

Lu Shangwen: "Lord Xie is concerned, and Dr. He said that it is no big deal, just drink a few pairs of medicines." ”

Jian Xuan looked at the last maid and said, "What about you?" ”

The maid hesitated for a moment and said: "Go back to my lord, I live in the same room with Sister Yue, Sister Yue accompanied the son and the young lady to the hospital, I have been waiting for them in the room, and no one can testify." ”

Jian Xuan looked at the maid carefully, stared at the maid's upper and looked at it carefully, looked at the maid's face and said, "What's your name?" ”

Handmaiden: "Feng Ning"

Jian Xuan turned his head to look at Lu Shangwen: "Master Lu, let them all go back, this Fengning girl stays, I have a few words I want to ask her." ”

Lu Shangwen nodded and ordered the other servants to retreat. After everyone else left, Jian Xuan looked at Lu Shangwen again: "Can you ask Lu Gongzi to go to the mourning hall to visit Liang Cheng for inspection, and if there is a result, let him inform me as soon as possible?"

Lu Shangwen glanced at Feng Ning, hesitated, and nodded, "Okay." ”
