Chapter Ninety-Nine: Rumors
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion are still the same as last time. Because of the previous dots of the Marquis of Jinxiang, they became more and more dedicated and more attentive when checking the place of the little girl's death.
Jia Xuan didn't come in alone last night. After all, it is a place where the government wants to check, in case because he has been to the house a few times, the things inside have lost the possibility of making evidence, but it will add chaos to the Hou Mansion.
However, Jia Xuan told the officials about Fang's death. And he said, "I saw that her wound was quite similar to that of this little man, so I asked her to keep her room guarded." Because she was bitten for a period of time and then died of high fever, if the officials needed to check it, they could have people carry the body, but there was little need to be seen in the house. ”
The two second-class maids were sent by her to do this, after all, Mrs. Fang's residence was crowded with people, and there were good deeds to probe her brains, so if the second-class maids were guarded, it would be more deterrent.
The place where Mrs. Fang lived was the back house, and it was inconvenient for the officials to go over and take a closer look before they had little evidence about the troubles in the back house. Hearing this, he agreed again and again: "Then I bothered the girl to let the body of the mother-in-law be carried here." ”
An official sent someone to call the old man.
The emu complemented the service and praised: "Miss Xuan is resourceful, and she is really not comparable to ordinary women. I think I must be a good hand at home to be able to manage the house council. I wonder if the girl usually manages the affairs of the grange in her own house? ”
These words obviously remembered the figure, and then set out Jia Xuan's identity. No matter whether she cares about the affairs of the family Zhuangzi, and asks her family which grange she has, she will naturally know which family she is from with the ability of Jingzhao Mansion.
This time, there was no need for Jia Xuan to speak, the steward of the Hou Mansion on the side had already answered for her: "Thank you for the praise." As the daughter of a high-ranking family, Miss Xuan has been learning to be a director since she was a child. is only in the affairs of the grange, and she is not easy to meddle in a girl's family, so she won't ask much on weekdays. ”
Obviously, the Hou Mansion didn't want the Jingzhao Mansion to know that she belonged to the Jia family now.
The Jia family is quite powerful in Beijing, and the status of another girl in the harem is even more transcendent. If Jia Xuan's identity is said now, it seems that the Hou Mansion is too exciting, and for the sake of the death of a little girl, let the girl of the Jia family come over to help.
Of course, it is not necessary to tell the truth about the case before it is revealed. At that time, it was indeed proved that it was not the prince of the Hou Mansion who committed the crime, and Jia Xuan's line was really to help the prince of the Hou Mansion wash away his grievances, even if she said that she was a girl from the Jia family, it would not seem that the Hou Mansion and the Jia family attached too much importance to the death of a small house.
In fact, if Jingzhao Mansion Yin was here, he would definitely know Jia Xuan.
Even if the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion has been replaced, the officials in this position have always had a good relationship with the Jia family, and they have been in contact with each other on weekdays. In addition, General Feng's Mansion openly protected Jia Xuan, and Yin, who was appointed by this position, also knew her.
It's a pity he's not there.
So after Jia Xuan and the steward of the Hou Mansion looked at each other and smiled, they only smiled and responded, and did not say half a word to the official for the time being.
While someone was going to carry the body of Mrs. Fang's body and someone was going to call the old servant, Jia Xuan summoned the people who originally lived with the dead servant and asked them: "Does he like to play with flowers and plants on weekdays?" ”
"I like it." They weren't quite sure what Miss Xuan meant, and hesitated and said, "He often grows a few pots of flowers by himself, and he waters them when he's fine." ”
"Since he likes flowers and plants, does he have a daily relationship with the gardeners in the greenhouse?"
"Not really. He spends most of his time in the front yard on errands and rarely goes near the conservatory. ”
Jia Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly. In this way, the details of this man's death do not match the injuries of the other two.
She began to pace slowly, recombing for clues.
The villains used the matter of flowers and plants to let the red scorpion Gu eat human flesh, and the known ones that he usually targeted were Fang Pozi and Cuixiang. And their injuries are in places where insects can easily crawl through, apparently for food.
As for this dead little guy, the location of the injury was not an easy place for Gu worms to reach.
So the purpose of the villain to harm him is obviously not as simple as feeding the Gu worms. Otherwise, there is no need to go to great lengths to choose the backyard.
Why did he choose him for the man's manly style and death rumors?
This little guy's face is quite delicate, but it's not the best looking among the little guys in the house. Among those who Jia Xuan has an impression, there are at least four or five people who are more beautiful than him.
Since the villain deliberately found him, instead of the little guy next to him, it may be more convenient to let the Gu worms hurt him, or it may be ......
Jia Xuan's heart moved, and he asked, "How is the prince of the world different from him?" Or is he any different from the Son? ”
He was targeted by gangsters, and there is another possibility. That is, if the dead person is him, it is more logical to frame the prince of the world for such a crime of liking male style and killing people.
Several people in front of them looked at each other and didn't dare to answer for a long time.
Jia Xuan stared at them silently, his gaze gradually sharpening.
In the end, they couldn't hold it anymore, and after smashing each other's arms, they grinned and opened their mouths:
"Doesn't he like to raise flowers, so he will take the initiative to send some flowers to the prince's study from time to time. The prince has a good temperament, and when he thinks about it, he praises him a few times. There were old men and young masters who came back to the Punfu as guests, and he happened to go to the outer study to deliver flowers, and the prince also praised him. ”
"Actually, the prince doesn't have anything special about him, but he has praised him a few times. It was only that one time that he was openly praised. ”
"I can't stop him from thinking about the prince. On weekdays, when he was in the outer yard, the prince had any orders, and he rushed to rob them. ”
"The prince doesn't remember who he is at all, sometimes he clicks on him and sometimes he doesn't. And if he did, he would be glad as if he had eaten honey. ”
"We don't know about outsiders, but almost all of us who are on errands in the outer courtyard know about him. Occasionally, he privately laughed at him for raising any flowers, but he didn't care, and when we really praised him for raising flowers. How do you know we're talking about ......?"
Several people began to wink at each other, hinting.
Jia Xuan realized that this person was targeted because of the well-known things in the outer court. If he was the one who died, he would almost have confirmed the "fact" that "it was the son of the world who did it to him" in the outer courtyard.
There is no need for others to deliberately spread rumors, just looking at the torn pants and the rotten place when he died, many people took the initiative to think about it.
"Look at the good things you have done!" After Jia Xuan figured it out, he was immediately furious, and pointed at a few people in front of him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you have passed on the heirloom and him on weekdays, how would outsiders know?" If he doesn't trust you and is more wary of you, he won't lose his life in vain! ”
Although this little guy has thoughts about the world, he has not acted beyond the norms.
Except for the people who live with you, it is difficult for others to know the trivial details. Even if he was happy with the praise of the prince, who in the house was not happy to receive the praise of the prince?
If it weren't for these roommates who passed on the trivial details of his private affairs, it would be impossible for others to know his secret thoughts about the world. When the gangsters attack the son, they will not easily create a wave of such rumors, and this little guy may not die.
Purely false rumors fabricated out of thin air are not terrible, but the most terrible thing is that such rumors are justified and mixed with a certain degree of truth.
Sometimes it is not necessarily an outsider who kills people.
It could also be someone close to you who you trust.
