Chapter 19: Killing!
Zhong Qinghe lowered his head, his eyes turned quickly, sobbing and listening to Situ Lin's words, he leaned on the ground and shouted injustice, "The prince must not spew blood, Qinghe and his mother are a woman, I heard that an assassin broke in and learned that Xinxue Courtyard was on fire, I was very scared and naturally did not dare to leave the Fuyuan Courtyard, which was located in the most important part of the mansion, until the soldiers and guards of the palace gathered in Xinxue Courtyard, and then I dared to go to the study to see my father." ”
Zhong Qinghe thought that what he said was flawless, but Zhong Zihong on the side frowned, and when he came in, he clearly shouted to ask what happened, and said that he was worried that he was in a hurry to come in a hurry, but now it is this statement, he was just about to open his mouth and was taken by Situ Lin.
"I see, it seems that this son of the world has misunderstood you. Situ Lin looked at the person lying on the ground playfully, and said nonchalantly, "Miss Shu hasn't gotten up yet, and it's even more profound, don't go wrong, this son can't afford it." ”
Lin Yue was originally a scheming person, and when she saw this situation, she was afraid that her daughter would say too much and make a mistake, so she immediately started a round, "The prince is too worried, and the little girl doesn't dare to blame the son." Please forgive me if you say something wrong, the girl's family has never seen a dead body, and there are so many ......" Lin Yue smiled awkwardly and changed the topic, "There are so many dead people, won't Zhong Li be among them......?"
"Shizi, fortunately, I moved Miss Yan to another place first, but I was a little frightened, so I didn't let me be poisoned. Qu Ming walked in carrying a corpse and said happily, "The corpse outside has been placed, and I checked it again in the courtyard, and this corpse was found in the Yanxi Room of Xinxue Courtyard, and he was holding a jade plaque in his hand." ”
"What kind of jade plaque to take a look at. Situ Lin immediately stopped Qu Ming.
Qu Ming was not ambiguous, took out the jade plate from his arms and handed it to Situ Lin, and put the body on the ground, "General Zhong is the attendant of the mansion?"
Qu Ming's words fell, and it attracted the attention of the four people in the pavilion, Zhong Zihong looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize who this person was, got up and took a candle, lowered his body and looked at it again, "This...... This is not ......" he said, looking at Lin Yue, who was looking at the probe, but before the words could be spoken, a soft voice came from behind him.
"That person is none other than Aunt Lin who called me a year ago to do chores. Zhong Li said and slowly walked into everyone's sight, "He usually carries some heavy objects for me, and occasionally takes care of the flowers and plants in the flower garden." I saw Zhong Li's face pale, and he was supported by Du Juan to sit on the circle chair, "Du Juan, come on." ”
Du Juan's face was also unusually pale at the moment, and after she placed Zhong Li, she got up and saluted, "This person's name is He Liu, Aunt Lin sent him to Xinxue Courtyard a year ago, saying that there are not many attendants in Miss Xinxue Courtyard, and there are only five or six girls in this Xinxue Courtyard, and if you say it badly, you will be laughed at Zhongfu for being poor and sour, so she assigned He Liu and a few other maids and servants." Miss doesn't like too many people to serve, the original mother-in-law girl in the mother died violently, then placed on the Zhuangzi, left to serve close only the slave and the other three people to take care of, and then the three were also sent out, left in the courtyard are from behind, Miss only let them serve outside. The cuckoo said very carefully, for fear of any mistakes or omissions, and did not dare to slack off.
"How can you be sure that this person is He Liu?" Lin Yue looked at Du Juan with displeasure and asked.
Zhong Li leaned on the circle chair, raised her head slightly and asked, "Aunt Lin, don't be impatient, listen to Du Juan." Zhong Li moved his body slightly and continued, "Don't be afraid, Du Juan answers my aunt's question. ”
"He Liu's right hand is different from ordinary people, with an extra finger, so the slave is sure that he must be He Liu. "What the cuckoo said was categorical, without any emotion at all, "He Liu is the cousin of Mrs. Gu, who has been following Mrs. Gu, originally he was doing shopping in Aunt Lin's courtyard, but somehow he was whipped by Aunt Lin and sent over. ”
"You are spewing blood, and now that you are dead, you are here to say that this person was sent from the Fuyuan Academy, what do you mean?" Zhong Qinghe stood up and pointed to the dead man on the ground and asked sharply.
Zhong Li looked at Zhong Qinghe coldly, "Where do you start with this? Why don't I understand, this person's identity always needs to be verified before it can be buried, Du Juan never said that this He Liu is related to tonight's incident, why do you say that this is related to tonight's incident?"
"You ......" Zhong Qinghe cried angrily, pointing at Zhong Li and cursing, "I don't know what happened today." But they came to you, but they didn't go anywhere else, it must have been you who did something outside to attract the murderers, and now it's good, people are dead, but you are pretending here, you are the one to die, you know! You are a disaster, a disaster!"
Zhong Zihong slapped the case angrily, looking at Zhong Qinghe with a distorted face, "Shut up! Is this what you should say? Today's matter is not clear, and you are here to point directly at Sister Yan." ”
The old man was angry, Qinghe was still young, and he was anxious after listening to Du Juan's words, so he was so speechless. Lin Yuesheng was afraid that her daughter would be hurt, so she pounced on Zhong Zihong to save his leg and cried.
Zhong Li looked at it silently for a long time, "It's understandable that Qinghe is still young and has done anything radical, but where should I start with my aunt's theory of the calamity? From my brother was sent back to Yunlu Palace? Or from my mother, Zhongfu's grandmother suddenly fell seriously ill and died? Or is it the assassination tonight......"
Before Zhong Li's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Lin Yue, "No, it's neither." It's Qinghe's unscrupulous. Seeing that Zhong Li was leading the matter to Feng Tianxue's death, she immediately lowered her posture, let go of Zhong Zihong, pulled Zhong Qinghe to the ground, and kept kowtowing.
"Auntie, don't do this, I don't mean anything else, Du Juan's words are over, you and Qinghe get up and talk. Zhong Li looked at Situ Lin who was contemplative, "I wonder if the prince sees the difference between this jade plate?"
Situ Lin handed the jade plaque to Zhong Li, "Can you see if there are any patterns carved on it?"
Zhong Li leaned the jade plaque close to the candle flame to take a closer look, and after a while, he said suspiciously, "There is indeed a pattern, it seems to be a bit like a skull? Zhong Li was not sure, so he handed over the jade plate to Zhong Zihong, and what he got was that he saw a skull pattern on the jade plate.
"Shizi, what do you think?" Zhong Li and Zhong Zihong asked in unison.
Situ Lin glanced at Zhong Zihong, and instead of answering their inquiry, he asked Zhong Zihong, "General Zhong, what do you think?"
Lin and Zhong Qinghe, who were confused by the three of them, didn't know what to do, so they could only observe their expressions uneasily.
