"The words of a madman can't be counted!"

The little eunuch who was escorted by the guards shouted anxiously, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

Jiang Fu was afraid that he would make too many troubles, so he casually tore off a dirty cloth from the rag doll and stuffed it into the little eunuch's mouth.

The concubine looked at the doll in Jiang Fu's hand cautiously, pointed to the side room and said to her:

"Xiao Xingzi, who is serving me, is over there, I'll take you to find him, don't hurt my prince!"

As she spoke, she took the lead in taking Jiang Fu to that side, and Chen Jian'an asked the guards to watch the little eunuch in place, while she followed in the footsteps of the two.

The side house is very dilapidated, and you can see a big hole in the roof just from the outside, which shows that no one has lived in it for a long time.

When the concubine pushed open the door, the wooden door was swaying, so that Jiang Fu was afraid that it would fall and completely smash the concubine's already faulty head.

It was very dark in the room, and Chen Jian'an took out the fire fold from his arms and picked up the upside-down candle on the table and lit it.

"Chen Er, you ······ on the left"

The moment the room was lit up, Jiang Fu's eyes widened and pointed to Chen Jian'an's side, and he turned his head to a pair of legs that were wearing eunuch clothes and drooping weakly.

The concubine stepped forward and pulled the hanged eunuch's feet and dangled them, giggling.

"Xiao Xingzi is quietly swinging here, hehe~"

Jiang Fu pulled Chen Jian'an, afraid that his head would be kicked by the dead man who "swinged", and pointed to the head of the old man with his tongue sticking out and said:

"This should be the little eunuch who serves the concubine, see if he has any wounds on his body."

Chen Jian'an nodded, took out a delicate dagger the length of a finger from his sleeve, and stepped on the table with his foot to cut the rope stuck in the throat of the little eunuch.

The corpse fell to the ground with a "bang", the concubine was so frightened that she turned around and ran, Jiang Fu was afraid that she would come back in a while and cause trouble, so she threw the doll in her hand over.

"Concubine, your child forgot to take it."

The concubine caught the doll in a panic, and ran away with a smoke.

"The three scratches on his left upper arm were scratched by his nails, and when Huo Tingfang was poisoned, it was his scene!"

Chen Jian'an opened the sleeve of the little eunuch, saw the wound on his arm and said, Jiang Fu was overjoyed, and finally found some clues after working all night!

"Go and bring the father-in-law in charge of the summer resort, and let him identify whether this little eunuch is serving in the concubine's courtyard."

She instructed the guards standing at the door, and Jiang Jian'an paused extremely slightly when he heard his father-in-law, and then continued to search the body casually to see if he could find other evidence.

"The sole of the corpse's shoes was worn out, it is likely that there was a strong friction on the ground before he died, and the instep of his foot was parallel to the ground, apparently hanging after being strangled to death."

Jiang Fu nodded, this is not surprising, he is just a chess piece, in order to wipe the head and tail, killing people is the easiest way.

Chen Jian'an felt around the corpse and found nothing special.

Soon the guards who went to call people came back with an old eunuch who looked to be forty or fifty years old to communicate with Jiang Fu:

"This is the father-in-law in charge of the summer resort, Father-in-law Xu."

Jiang Fu now saw that the eunuchs were about to have post-traumatic sequelae, and he really didn't want to deal with them, but Chen Jian'an stepped forward and said:

"I'm bothering you to come here to ask you something, I don't know who are the people serving in this concubine's courtyard? By the way, let's see if this eunuch is from the concubine's courtyard? ”

Gonggong Xu glanced at the little eunuch who was held down by the guards a little nervously, and replied honestly:

"Back to the girl, this little eunuch was indeed serving in the concubine's courtyard before, the concubine's courtyard was originally served by two palace maids and two eunuchs, but he and another palace maid asked to be transferred out two months ago, and now the concubine should be served by the eunuch Xiao Xingzi and the palace maid Xing'er."

Chen saw that it was clear that Xing'er must be the thin little palace maid they had seen before.

He made a gesture of please, and led Gonggong Xu to the door to see the corpse of the eunuch lying in the room.

"Father-in-law, let's take a look, is the Xiao Xingzi you said he?"

"This, this, this is Xiao Xingzi, why did he die?"

Gonggong Xu was so frightened that he took two steps back, almost stepping on Jiang Fu's feet behind him, Chen Jian'an quickly pulled him, so that he didn't really touch the ancestor behind him.

Jiang Fu saw that an old eunuch was withdrawn from the opposite side, and silently withdrew the hand that touched the whip on his waist.

"People are dead, and what can they do if they know their identities, in my opinion, it is better to start from the living outside.

I don't believe it, I have suffered the eighty-one criminal laws of Dongchang, and he still doesn't tell the truth! ”

Chen Jian'an shook his head, torture is effective, but what if the little eunuch himself doesn't know anything?

The mastermind behind the scenes will not be so stupid, and directly send a personal certificate to himself.

Xiao Xingzi must have seen the chief envoy when he came out of Huo Tingfang's courtyard, as Xing'er who had been serving in the concubine's courtyard, knew something, so he was killed.

It's better for the two of us to act separately, you go to find Xing'er, and I will go to find an eyewitness who has seen Xiao Xingzi, time is urgent, and the action must be fast. ”

Gonggong Xu nodded in agreement on the side.

Jiang Fu looked at Chen Jian'an deeply when he heard this, Chen Jian'an was a little uncomfortable by her, just when he thought Jiang Fu would refuse, he saw her nodding to himself.

"Okay, let's meet in Huo Tingfang's yard after dawn."

After saying that, she left with two guards, and before leaving, she didn't forget to let the little eunuch outside be sent to Dongchang.

As soon as Jiang Fu left with his front foot, Chen Jian'an also took the remaining two guards away with his back foot.

"You go to the nearby courtyard to investigate one by one, see if anyone has seen Xiao Xingzi after dark, and if you have any clues, come back and report to me immediately."

Father-in-law Xu gave the two of them his waist cards, so that they had the right to interrogate the workers of the entire summer resort.

After waiting for the two of them to be left in the courtyard except for Xiao Xingzi lying on the ground, Gonggong Xu reversed his timid and fearful appearance just now, his expression became calm and resolute, and he knelt in front of Chen Jian'an with a "plop".

"See Young Master, Young Master, why did you get here? It's too dangerous! ”

Chen Jian'an helped him up, raised his hand to take off his coat, the letter was sewn into the middle layer of his middle coat by him, and he said while picking the thread on his clothes with a dagger:

"It's a long story, and I need your help with something this time."

On the other side, Jiang Fu, who came out of the concubine's courtyard, went straight back to her yard, and my fair lady had been waiting for her in the living room for a long time.

"Can you find out?"

Jiang Fu picked up the teacup that was already cold on the table, and poured herself a cup with a dry mouth.

The slave and maid inquired clearly, and there was a mass grave behind the wall on the west corner gate, but all the eunuchs and palace maids who died were dragged out and thrown there.

It is said that the eunuchs here like to get handsome young men from the outside to come in and play with them, and often cause death, and they all throw the corpses there, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are corpses floating all over the mountain.

The girl that Miss asked me to find, eighty percent was also killed and thrown out of the wall, but do you have to find it again? ”

When the little palace maid ran away, Jiang Fu found that the situation was wrong, so she patted my aunt to look for her, but unfortunately she was lost halfway, and finally only inquired about the place where she might be dumped.

Jiang Fu drank a cup of tea, raised her eyes and glanced at the guard waiting at the door, who arched his hand and turned around to go out to find Xing'er's body.

My Lady stretched out her head to look out, and when she saw that Chen Jian'an did not come back with her, she asked curiously:

"Why don't you see Chen Gongzi? Speaking of which, Chen Gongzi did all this for Miss! He really has a deep affection for you. ”

Jiang Fu almost squirted out the cold tea that she hadn't swallowed yet.

"Ahem, ahem, thank you, I don't like flatbread by nature."

Chen Jian's eyes are like a hornet's nest, seemingly affectionate and righteous, and his heart is full of calculations.

Saying that they are acting separately, it's just that the guy is trying to break himself apart, who can't see that Xing'er has already been cold, and what is he doing with the trouble of finding a corpse?

"You elm head, less head full of love and love, the most unreliable thing in the world is love, instead of thinking about who likes your young lady, it is better to think about how to make your young lady live for two more days."

My Lady is the best at looking at people's eyes, since Jiang Fu doesn't want to mention it, she doesn't want to change the topic obediently.

"Speaking of which, that maid is really clever, I was discovered by her as soon as I followed, like a rabbit, a thief who runs fast."

Presumably she had already realized that she would be killed, and she would be scared like that when she saw Chen Jian'an, she was afraid that she would think of him as someone who came to take her life.

Jiang Fu asked my aunt to take out a palm-sized box of rosewood in her luggage, and took out a small jujube pill from it and hid it in her sleeve.

It was the fake death medicine that her father gave her, and when it was really a last resort, she took this medicine in prison, and her father would naturally find a way to take herself out for "burial", and then she could fake her death and get out.

It is said that this medicine is his mother's dowry, and there is only this one in the whole world.

"Miss, the guards are back, come and see this!"

Jiang Fu heard my aunt's words, got up and came to the door, only to see two guards carrying Xing'er's body on the ground.

The thin palace maid I had seen before had separated her body and head at this moment, and a wound with tooth marks on her neck was still dripping with blood.

"Blood drops!"

Jiang Fu said in a surprised and excited tone, she knew that it was Xichang who did it!

This Yan Mingxi can't help but treat himself as a human being, and kill witnesses directly with blood drops?

What's the difference between this and Ming Huang's words: I did it, come and catch me~?

Jiang Fu asked people to take Xing'er's corpse and run to the concubine's courtyard with her skirt.

Find a messenger and sue your parents!

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she ran to the gate of the yard, she saw a very eye-hurting scene.

In the courtyard, Chen Jian'an's clothes were open, and Father-in-law Xu's hand was stretching into his collar, which looked really not serious.

Jiang Fu paused, and suddenly remembered the "good man" that my aunt said, and looked at Chen Jian'an's eyes with a complicated expression and said:

"You······· There is no need to sacrifice so much in order to investigate the case. ”
