Hearing the screams, Li Changci in the house immediately put on his clothes and pushed the door out.

I saw a maid with a pale face, sitting on the ground with her eyes covered, trembling all over.

Poria stood on the edge of the pool, carefully observing the corpse floating in the pool.

"What's going on?" Li Yiwei came with a group of servants when he heard the sound, and Qin Wanfei followed with a pair of children.

Li Yiwei glanced at Steward Sun, and Steward Sun immediately understood, stepped forward and said to the maid, "Qiuhong, what happened?" ”

Hearing Steward Sun's voice, the maid immediately knelt down towards everyone, and said tremblingly: "The slave has been responsible for the cleaning of the Qinglian Courtyard, and when I passed by the Qinglian Pond this morning, I found that there was something inside, and when I walked in, I found that... The discovery was ......"

Qiu Hong didn't dare to continue, but everyone's eyes turned to Chizi.

Soon, the body in the pool was recovered, and it was actually one of the small servants who greeted the guests at the door yesterday.

Although the deceased was soaked in water for most of the night and his body was a little swollen, he could still recognize his basic appearance.

After Steward Sun saw the face of the deceased clearly, he reported to Li Yiwei: "Master, this is Wang Er, but he is only responsible for the sprinkling of the vestibule on weekdays, I don't know who is so bold and dares to commit murder in Shangshu Mansion." ”

"Does this person have any enemies?" Li Yiwei asked.

"People are also quite honest and never make enemies with others."

Never make friends with others?

Li Yiwei pondered, since it was not the enemy's doing, who did it?

Although his Shangshu Mansion does not arrange for guards to leak, it is the residence of the imperial court officials, and ordinary people will not choose to kill people in this kind of place, could it be that this little guy happened to bump into some ulterior secret?

But this Qinglian Courtyard has no people living all year round, and there is no ...... at all

Wrong.

There was a man living here yesterday.

Li Yiwei felt that the mouth was suddenly opened, yes, there were no people living here before, so the wind and waves were calm.

And as soon as Li Chang resigned, his relationship with King Duan broke down, not to mention, and there was a murder case in plain air, which is really unlucky.

Thinking of this, Li Yiwei looked at Li Changci with complaining eyes.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

Li Changci said to Li Yiwei coldly.

"What I see you, you know it yourself, huh."

"I don't know."

Li Yiwei looked at Li Changci even more complainingly, and Li Changci did not shy away from looking back at the other party.

"Please call the shots!"

A deafening voice sounded in Li Yiwei's ears, which scared Li Yiwei all over.

When I looked down, I found a person kneeling on the ground.

"Who are you?"

"Back to my lord, my name is Wang Da, and I am the brother of Wang Er."

It turned out that it was Wang Da's younger brother Wang Er who died, and it was the two of them who were out to welcome guests yesterday.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Master, my younger brother is kind on weekdays, only yesterday he offended the eldest lady, but he didn't expect to give his life today!"

When everyone heard this, they all pointed their suspicious eyes at Li Changci.

When Li Changhuai and Li Xinyu heard this, their eyes lit up for a moment.

"On weekdays, there are few fights between slaves in the house, why did she die as soon as she came back."

Although Li Changhuai muttered to Li Xinyu in a low voice, everyone present could hear this voice.

Li Yiwei, who realized that he had learned the truth, scolded Li Changci.

"Evil girl, what else do you have to say, as soon as you come back, you will make a fuss and die, it's really lawless."

Regarding Li Yiwei's indiscriminate assertion, Li Changci had already been mentally prepared.

"I didn't do it."

"This person has no grievances on weekdays, but he offended you yesterday and gave his life today, who is the murderer if he is not you?"

"According to you, if there are more people in the world who have offended each other, is not everyone a murderer?"

"The facts are all here, you are still arguing with strong words, it is simply insulting to the Li family."

"Heh" Li Changci stood on the steps, looking at Li Yiwei below, his eyes revealing disdain for the first time.

"What facts? Do you have a certificate? Or is there physical evidence to prove that it was my hand? If I am convicted just by the words of this man, I am afraid that your position as a scholar was bought. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Li Yiwei was afraid that he hated others the most and said that he had no talent, although he was originally obtained a small official position by relying on the power of Su Yueru's mother's family, but now he can become the head of the household department is also the result of his own planning for many years.

"Li Changci, children should be in awe of their parents, how can you speak to your father like this."

Li Changhuai, who was in the crowd, felt that he had caught Li Changci's handle, and stepped forward to accuse Li Changci. I felt that I hadn't said enough just now, and I wanted to continue to say a few words, but before I could speak, I was reprimanded back by Li Changci.

"As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, so you just called me by my name, can you be in awe? Don't retreat yet. ”

Li Changhuai didn't expect that he would actually become the one who was reprimanded, and unwillingly pointed to Wang Da who was kneeling on the ground, "Didn't you just say that there was no witness?" This person is the witness. ”

Li Changci looked at Li Changhuai and felt that this cousin was afraid that he would be kicked out of his brain.

"Did he say that he saw me kill Wang Er with his own eyes?"

Li Changhuai thought for a while and quibbled: "Although not, this person has a suspicion of you after all, unless you come up with evidence that you are not the murderer." After speaking, he raised his head towards Li Yiwei and the others.

When Li Yiwei and Qin Feiwan heard this, they immediately felt that Li Changhuai's trick was very smart, since Li Changqi resigned into Qinglian Courtyard yesterday, he had not come out, and no one could prove what she had done during this time, and it was really difficult for Li Changci to come up with evidence to prove that she was innocent.

Just when Li Changhuai was proud, Poria, who had watched the play for a long time on the side, spoke.

"I can prove that the perpetrator is definitely not the eldest lady."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Poria.

I saw Poria slowly walking towards Wang Er's corpse, and under the horrified eyes of everyone, Poria carefully examined the corpse on the ground.

After a moment, Poria reached out and lifted Wang Er's head, revealing the neck area.

"You see, this man has red stripes on the back of his neck."

Hearing Poria's words, everyone focused their eyes on the back of Wang Er's neck.

But after looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything, but Li Yiwei seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became serious.

Li Changhuai was the most impatient, and couldn't help but ask Poria Cocos, "This red stripe doesn't look special, what does this mean?" ”

Li Xinyu was calmer, and wanted to ask her mother, but she was really afraid of exposing her ignorance in front of her subordinates, so she didn't notice that Qin Wanfei's eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction at this time.

"Eh, what do you know, you say, you don't think you are afraid of people halfway through."

Only Li Changhuai's voice sounded in the entire courtyard.

Just when everyone suspected that Poria was deliberately attracting their attention, Poria stood up and said to Li Yiwei: "Lord Li, can you leave here first?" ”

"Eh, you maid is kicking your nose in the face, right, my father is a fourth-grade official, and you are talking to my father like this." Li Changhuai pointed to Poria's nose and reprimanded.

"Don't be unreasonable to Miss Poria cocos." Although Li Yiwei didn't like Poria Ling's cold attitude, she was a person from Duan Wangfu after all, and she would still return to Duan Wangfu in the future, so it was better not to offend.

"Miss Poria is generous, Changhuai is young and vigorous, and please don't blame Miss Poria for him."

"These little things are not worth caring about, Lord Li, this matter is very important, please let others avoid it."

Hearing Poria say this, Li Yiwei felt even more uneasy, could it be that this was related to the incident back then.

Considering that the trouble was too big, Li Yiwei asked Steward Sun to retreat with the domestic servants, and just as the servants were almost gone, Poria said to Li Yiwei expressionlessly: "Strange, isn't this lady of Lord Li grounded?" Why can I still come to Miss Changci's residence? ”

Hearing Poria mention her name, Qin Wanfei was at a loss for a moment, since Su Yueru didn't care about the incident, she was in and out of the Li Mansion at any time, and no one would ever stop her from going, although the person in front of her was sent by Duanwangfu, but after all, he was a maid, such a big faction, he really followed her master Chu Lingshu, it was not a good place to get along with, but fortunately, his baby daughter did not marry into this kind of family.

"Master, I ......" Qin Wanfei called out to Li Yiwei pitifully, wanting to stay.

If it was usual, Li Yiwei would definitely rely on Qin Wanfei, but at this time, if an outsider is there, if he agrees, maybe tomorrow there will be indecent rumors in the capital that the household department Shangshu favors the concubine.

"Okay, needless to say, you go back first, and come out after a month."

In this way, Qin Wanfei was unwilling to leave Qinglian Courtyard with Li Xinyu.
