Chapter 119: Waiting for you to report
Everyone saw that the body of their own general spread an unprecedented coldness, he looked around solemnly, and then lowered his voice, "Summoning the work!"
"No, you can't ......"
Aunt Ruan shook her head in despair, and immediately a family member set her up and dragged people out despite her struggles.
Xia Qing only felt that her aunt's cry was extremely harsh, her heart was beating wildly, as if she had exhausted all her strength to get up from the ground, and before withdrawing, she couldn't help but look at Xia Le deeply, pursing her lips, a little unbearable and complicated.
Soon, the famous servant in Beijing had already rushed to the Xia Mansion and began to carefully examine Xia Le's body.
The old lady and Xia Yihai sat on the side, and after a moment of effort, they listened to the snort, and then came to them with a solemn face, and presented a silk handkerchief, on which were a few cotton wool, "General Qiyu, as the third lady said, the seventh miss was strangled to death and then hung on the beam of the house, pretending to hang herself, this cotton wool was found in the mouth of the seventh lady, and it seems that the murderer had gagged her mouth with a cotton cloth." ”
"How can it be?"
The old lady shouted angrily, someone dared to commit murder in the general's mansion and kill the young lady of the Xia family!
At this time, Xia Qianwei was standing beside Xia Le, listening to the words, she only felt a little strange.
Cotton cloth is usually strangled by force, and she can't make a sound, why do you need to do more? Her suspicious gaze fell on Xia Le's shirt, where there were faint traces of pink drying.
Xia Qianwei leaned over and sniffed lightly, the faint fragrance of roses made her eyes move slightly, and she suddenly stretched out her hand to open the other party's dress.
"Qianwei, what are you doing?!" Xia Yihai immediately avoided his gaze, and after a while, Xia Qianwei sorted out Xia Le's clothes with a calm expression and slowly returned to them.
I saw that the girl raised her eyes with a solemn face, and there was an indescribable coldness in her tone, "Grandmother, father, seventh sister, she ...... I'm afraid that I've been defiled by someone, and I was poured extremely domineering juice before I died. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room changed their eyes.
This juice is made of rose extract, mixed with addictive medicinal powder, because of its seductive smell and fanatical medicinal properties, it is favored by many Qinglou women.
It seems that this Xia Le was drugged when the juice overflowed the corner of her mouth and stuck to her clothes, leaving evidence.
The other party thought that he was unaware, but he didn't want to expose his evil deeds because of such a small mark.
"The third lady is careful, the small one is negligent, this technique is very similar to several murders that have happened in Beijing recently, the victims are all young ladies in the boudoir, but they are different from the seventh miss, they were suffocated to death by covering their mouths and noses!"
He looked ashamed, he didn't expect that the thief would dare to commit a crime in the official family, because of Xia Le's identity, so he didn't think about it at first.
At this time, Xia Yihai was so angry that he clenched his fists, his daughter was humiliated to death like this, that thief was so bold!
He gritted his teeth and endured his anger, then pulled the man aside, gave him a silver ingot and gave some orders, the other party pushed it for a while in fear, and then took the silver and left the room in a low-key manner.
The old lady pondered for a moment, and then looked at Xia Qianwei with deep meaning.
"Qianwei, this matter ......"
The granddaughter understands that since the seventh sister has died, she should no longer bear any gossip, and the granddaughter must keep this matter a secret. ”
Xia Le's humiliation is related to the face of the General's Mansion, if it spreads, the Xia family will become a joke in the whole of Kyoto, and the mansion will allow thieves to enter and exit freely, which will inevitably affect Xia Yihai's prestige, and his official career will be worried.
Xia Qianwei noticed that a worried and deep gaze fell on her, and immediately raised her eyes, but it was Xia Yihai's eyes.
But he didn't want the other party's eyes to flash, and immediately glanced at the other side unnaturally, deliberately avoiding it.
The people outside were still waiting for the results, and they saw the old lady and the general slowly stepping out, and the third lady followed behind them.
Aunt Ruan's eyes widened immediately, although she was still held by the family and couldn't move, her eyes were still chasing Xia Qianwei tightly.
"Pass the order, from now on, there will be more guards in the house, and anyone who enters and leaves must be strictly investigated, as for Miss Seven...... Died of a sudden illness due to a cold in the room, remember?"
As soon as Xia Yihai's words fell, Aunt Ruan immediately screamed, "General?!No, Miss Seven was killed, she was killed—how can you be so biased?!"
Xia Le was indeed killed, and it was absolutely impossible for this matter to be settled, so Xia Yihai announced that Xia Le had died of illness, just to avoid startling the snake and to facilitate their secret investigation.
But everyone didn't know the powerful relationship between them, and they only felt that the general was shielding Xia Qianwei, so they concealed the cause of Miss Seven's death.
When the old lady saw Aunt Ruan crying endlessly, she suddenly became more and more annoyed.
"Drag her down!"
"Miss Seven was killed, and I won't live anymore, let me go, Xia Qianwei, you can kill me too-"
All kinds of ugly curses came, and Aunt Ruan, who seemed to be about to go crazy, looked very terrifying, and everyone saw Xia Qianwei suddenly step forward, and actually pulled out a silver needle from her sleeve and pierced the back of the other party's neck, and Aunt Ruan quieted down without warning.
Her bloodshot eyes were open, and she felt as if something was blocking her throat, so that she couldn't say a word.
I only heard the girl's eyes in front of her condense slightly, and this beautiful face was endlessly indifferent and aggressive, "If you insist on thinking that I killed the seventh sister, well, Qianwei never believes that any wicked person has his own harvest, and Aunt Ruan should take care of herself even more, so that she can have the strength to avenge her daughter! People must have a reason to live, Qianwei is here, waiting for the day when you catch my handle!"
The pain of losing her daughter, Xia Qianwei naturally knew that Aunt Ruan wanted to die with her, but in her opinion, knowing that she couldn't change anything, she was struggling with each other to the death, waiting for others to avenge herself, which was the most stupid behavior!
And Xia Le's death, Xia Qianwei felt that it was not related to the cases in Beijing, because Xia Le's current appearance was not enough for the thief to sneak into the General's Mansion to commit the crime at the risk of confrontation with the official family, she always felt that the other party was coming for herself, in order to blame!
Perhaps, the person behind this curtain is hiding in the general's mansion.
Everyone didn't expect the third lady to say such a thing, her appearance was a kind of impersonal coldness, which was daunting.
Xia Le's body was quickly disposed of, because he died undignified, so the funeral after that could only be hastily done, and everyone in the General's Mansion was silent, Xia Yihai immediately sent a letter to the Zhenguo Mansion, and then was called to Fushouyuan by the old lady.
"Yihai, so far, how long do you plan to avoid Qianwei?"
The old lady opened her mouth seriously, Xia Yihai's expression stiffened slightly, and there was a kind of embarrassment that her heart was seen through.
The man in front of him didn't speak, only heard a sigh.
"Isn't it the fault of the head of your family that Fuzhong has become what it is now? When will you be able to let go of the past, do you really want to watch this family fall apart?"
