Murong Tian couldn't accept this series of changes after all, and fainted.

In the silence of the half-sound, Elder Murong Ge let out a long sigh of melancholy, as if there was infinite remorse tormenting him, "I didn't expect that in the end, things would still develop like this. He took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Zhao'er, Jiang'er, this is what your mother Xiaoling left for you—"

Murong Jiang, who had already cried so much, was close to Murong Zhao who supported him, repeatedly wiped the tears that he couldn't stop, and his expression was calm, Murong Zhao, who was clenched with his fists, walked towards Murong Ge Lao, took the letter and opened it, it was Juan Xiu's clean handwriting, and every word was full of boundless longing, sorrow and exhortation.

Listening to Murong Ge's old voice, it was hard to hide the trembling and said, "Xiaoling is a very intelligent and sensitive child, she knew that Jin Yan would make a big mistake, but she still hopes to exchange her life for his repentance, if he regrets it a little bit and changes it again, then she is worth dying, but unfortunately her efforts have never moved this bastard, he has made mistakes again and again to the point that he can't turn back!"

"In the end, he used his blood relatives as chess pieces, useless, and mercilessly discarded!" Murong Ge's tears fell again, "It's me who can't teach, it's me who makes him wrong again and again, it's me who is a father in vain, it's me who makes Xiaoling's sacrifice in vain, it's me, I'm sorry for you two, it's my laissez-faire connivance, teaching your father to step deeper and deeper and not knowing the scale!"

"How can this be blamed on grandpa?" After Murong Zhao read the letter, he closed his eyes and said hoarsely, it was his mother who was willing to give everything for Murong Ge, and it was also his mother who begged Murong Ge Lao to hide the truth about her murder, and it was also his mother who knew that her husband was going to poison herself, so she drank the bowl of soup, and over the years, if it was not for Murong Ge's protection, he and Murong Jiang would have been killed.

Old Murong Ge shook his head, suddenly as if he was more than ten years old, "I'm tired, let's go-"

**

In the small pavilion in the courtyard next to him, Governor Fang was stunned and dazed, "The official still can't figure out how things developed like this, and he didn't ask clearly about the murder of Murong Sa, Fan Shizi and Hong Shizi, Murong Yezi and Hong Shizi have already ...... "This case is unclear, the file records and twists, how can he write it?"

He looked at King Qing, and King Qing looked at Liu Ya.

So, he looked at Liu Ya again.

Liu Ya looked at Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang, who were late after sending Murong Tian back to his residence, "This is just to reveal the truth of many years ago by the way when solving the case, so that the foundation of the Murong family should not rot anymore, which is also what Your Majesty meant." She turned to look at Yuwen Qiu.

Then, under the scorching gaze of everyone, Yuwen Qiuye took out a secret letter with a golden red pattern that was only the size of a palm, and said with a smile: "The secret letter clearly shows that Elder Murong Ge told His Majesty about this matter before he left Beijing, and he also knew the content of Bian's last letter. ”

"Now that Murong Jinyan plotted to murder his wife Hong's daughter Murong Tian, but the murder attempt failed, he was killed by the Hong family instead, and the Hong family has committed suicide, I believe that the prefect must know how to write this record. "The implication is that His Majesty has the intention to 'maintain' the reputation of the Murong family, and you know the rest.

"The mother's last letter was handed over to Master Fang. Murong Zhao solemnly handed the wet letter to Governor Fang.

Governor Fang received King Qing's jaw signal, and took it with sincerity, "This official will keep it until approval!"

"I've written a record of the whole story. Liu Ya handed him a stack of rice paper, "The name was also signed, and the adults thought there was no problem after looking at it, and the seal was it." "Of course, she has 'polished' every word in it perfectly, minimizing the damage value that this matter will bring to the Murong Pavilion Elder or the Murong family.

Governor Fang took it in surprise, and saw that the words in it were clearly and carefully expressed, and a sad old face smiled into a chrysanthemum, "It turned out that Liu Jian discovered the conspiracy of Master Murong and used the eyeliner he put next to Miss Murong Er, and acted in a scene with Miss Murong Er, so that he thought that without the Hong family and Murong Tian, who were not enough to achieve enough and more than to lose, he could use Miss Murong Er, so as to expose his feet, and the medicine he used to poison the Hong family and Murong Tian was also changed by you!"

"Liu Xian is really as good and capable as rumored!" Seeing that King Qing was also very satisfied with this record, Fang Zhifu hurriedly patted his ass and said, "However, Murong Sa, Fan Shizi and Hong Shizi were not harmed by Murong Yezi, so who is it? And there is no trace of Fan Shizi so far, what can Liu Xian grasp among them?"

"There's no rush to talk about this tomorrow, now that it's late at night, Lord Fang should go back and rest first." Liu Ya smiled lightly, "Tomorrow, I will also report to you the autopsy of Master Murong and the Hong family." ”

Governor Fang couldn't remember how long it had been since he had received such an obvious 'eviction order', and when he was stunned, he listened to King Qing say, "This king sent Lord Fang to rest." ”

"Then, then there is King Lao Qing. Governor Fang put aside his suspicions about the relationship between them, and hurriedly responded with fear.

After they left, there was a long silence in the pavilion, and Liu Ya broke the words, "I've never been good at comforting, so I only talk to you about the reality, the Hong family's intention of pulling Murong Master to death is obvious, she will save the last face of the Murong family, and you must also keep Murong Tian, but she has passed away, and she has always been harsh and mean to you, I don't recommend doing it." ”

Murong Zhao fell into a struggle that could not be extricated, but he heard Yuwen Qiuye say leisurely: "I have never interfered too much in your family affairs, but in this matter, I agree with Ya'er, she is narcissistic and conceited, and now she will definitely rely on all her misfortunes, and staying will only become a knife that stabs you at some point." ”

"She has always been the girl of the Murong family, my half-sister, and I really can't bear to deal with it according to the law. Murong Zhao sighed.

Murong Jiang also said, "If she is tortured by the criminal law, it will only backfire, and she will never know what repentance is, and then she will make mistakes again and again." ”

Murong Zhao glanced at her, "Since these things will end with 'sudden illness and death', then don't charge Murong Tian with poisoning Sister Yan, I will discuss with my grandfather and send her to her uncle Chaoyi's house in the name of leaving the sad place, and it will be up to her to do whatever she does in the future." ”

If something happened to the family of important officials of the court that was enough to destroy the honor, and it was protected or decreed by the emperor, the records of the scrolls would be written in two parts, the open (false) announced to the world, and the dark (true) would only be presented directly to His Majesty, and then put into the secret room of the library by a special person.

Liu Ya shrugged indifferently, anyway, she was not surnamed Murong, and Murong Tian couldn't even bother her if she made trouble, so she only said: "I'll take care of another record, it's late, you're tired, go back and rest, and I'll solve the rest of the case tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. ”

Murong Zhao sent Murong Jiang back to Haitang Residence, but Liu Ya and Yuwen Qiuye did not reply to Xinfeng Yuan, but went to the autopsy room, and met Hu Qingqing and Ming Gengxiu, who were carrying corpses like coolies, to treat the wounds on the corpses of Murong Master and Hong, and also made the appearance of death with medicinal powder, and when Murong Zhao arrived, Murong Master and Hong even changed their new clothes.

Seeing that Murong Master and the Hong family were so peaceful that they seemed to be just asleep, Murong Zhao only felt embarrassed, if he said that he was sad, it was not that he didn't have it, but he didn't love him since he was a child, and even hated him, and tried his best to treat his father and stepfamily, he really couldn't be sad, and those sadness were all for his grandfather and biological mother.

"Qiu Ye, Liu Inspection, Hu Shizi, Ming Shizi, thank you. Murong Zhao said sincerely, the less people know about things like this, the better, and it just so happened that when there were many eyes and ears in the mansion, they were almost all busy.

"It's just a coming-and-going. Liu Ya took off her gloves and stretched her waist.

Yuwen Qiuye immediately smiled, "Ya'er is right. ”

"Don't say any more polite words, move people back and rest as soon as possible. Ming Gengxiu yawned.

After the dust settles on tomorrow's layout, Liu Ya will see Zhou Gong when she lies down on the bed after taking a bath, and when Yuwen Qiuye lies on the side of the bed with the fragrance after bathing to 'harass' her, she can't open her eyes to deal with him at all, she only feels a touch of softness and arrogance on her lips, sucking and teasing as much as she wants.

When she couldn't breathe, Liu Ya reluctantly opened her eyes, and listened to him: "I never knew that Ya'er's acting skills were so good." He seemed to be reminiscing about something, and smiled very satisfied, "The jealous look is really good~"

Liu Ya didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "Are you a fool? That's fake! Come, follow me, chicken, fake, fake!"

Seeing that she was so sleepy that she could only squint, like a newborn soft and cute little rabbit, Yuwen Qiu's heart melted, touched her head and said, "Aren't you really curious about the second night meeting between me and Murong?"

"Not curious. Liu Ya rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Finish-all-no interest!"

The book teaches that women love duplicity. ”

Liu Ya rolled her eyes with difficulty, "No, believe me, I'm real-no-feeling-interest-fun-"

The book also teaches that men should be sincere, and I have intentions for Ya'er, and I must tell them so as not to be suspicious. Yuwen Qiuye held her face and said seriously, "Murong Er admired me and asked me if I came to the banquet this time to marry her, I said that the only person I like is Ya'er, and this trip is entrusted by Zhao to bring you to help, and I have no other intentions." ”

Liu Ya's eyes widened with sleepiness, "I only want to ask you, Murong Ge has long known that the Hong family has poisoned him, and even wants to use my hand to uncover this conspiracy, do you know?" She asked Doctor Chen, when did he start poisoning Murong Ge, and from the time he poisoned him, it was obvious that Murong Ge had acted in a wonderful scene.

"I don't know. Yuwen Qiuye cut the railroad to the fore, "But, the matter has come to this point, I do have a calculation." ”

Liu Ya closed her eyes and changed to a comfortable posture, "The gossip that spreads at a high speed in this house, you also fanned the flames." "Although the original intention of this gossip was a trick made by Second Uncle Murong, the most happy thing to see it happen was Yuwen Qiupage, so that he could use the suspicion avoidance system to get himself out of this very hateful case.

Yuwen Qiuye couldn't hide and kissed her on the lips dotingly, "Ya'er is so smart!"

"I have a lot to say to Ya'er, but the time is not ripe to put Ya'er in danger. He caressed her face and listened to her even breathing, "Sleep well." ”

**

The news that Master Murong and the Hong family died of illness overnight surprised all the people in the mansion who did not know the truth, and through the scenes arranged by Murong Zhao, the whole mansion seemed to fall into an indescribable gloom, when the dark clouds were full of clouds, and it rained like weeping.

When Zhang Yingying came to look for Liu Ya, Liu Ya had just gotten up and had breakfast (in fact, it was already noon), compared with Liu Ya who was rolling in the pile of corpses all day long, Zhang Yingying was both nervous and uneasy and said like a pins and needles: "How can the happy event become white again? Yesterday, I saw that it was obviously fine, and said that it was gone. ”

"Life has always been like this, accidents and tomorrow, who would have thought that which would come first?" Liu Ya made a gesture and continued to eat.

Zhang Yingying waited for her to finish the meal slowly and leisurely before she said, "Sister Liu, can you accompany me to see Sister Murong?"

"Let's go. "Look at her thoughtful appearance, Liu Ya should come down if she doesn't refuse, anyway, it's a stoppath.

Compared with the gloom in other places, the atmosphere of Begonia House is better, whether it is the master or the servant here, they have always been bullied by the Hong family, and the death of her and Murong Master did not make them very sad, and they even felt happy, but the appearance still has to be made, so they are careful everywhere.

"Sister Murong, mourn. Zhang Yingying pulled the hand of Murong Jiang, who was red-eyed.

Murong Jiang bowed his head and said, "Yingying has a heart." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yingying always wanted to speak, Liu Ya sighed: "There are only us here, if you want to say anything, just say it." ”

Zhang Yingying, who was easily seen through, turned red suddenly, and when she saw that they were all looking at her intently, she said: "Actually, I had been here earlier, but at that time, Sister Murong was crying here, so I didn't bother, listening to the maids, it was Aunt Qiu." ”

Murong Jiang didn't expect her to mention this, and was stunned for a while before reacting, "Yingying is worried that I will be bullied?" She patted Zhang Yingying's hand gratefully, "Actually, Aunt Qiu's overstepping this time is to ask me to ask my brother for help, you also know that something happened to the fifth sister, and her father died of illness after failing to administer justice, she was so panicked that she secretly begged me to ask my brother to administer justice." ”

It was also an embarrassment for the Murong family to spread this mistake, and one of her concubines begged to come to Miss Yan and indeed overstepped, Liu Ya frowned, and listened to Zhang Yingying say tentatively:

"Do they want to enter the Qingwang Mansion?"

Murong Jiang was very embarrassed, in fact, this ugly family in front of everyone, it is not impossible to hide it, with the background of the Murong family, even if she is a concubine and not a young son, it is not difficult to marry a rich family as a wife, but Aunt Qiu is hard-hearted, she wants to carry a good girl and not serve the second husband, even if she is a nameless concubine, she should send Murong Fu into the splendid Qingwang Mansion.

Liu Ya noticed that Zhang Yingying's hand holding the silk handkerchief tightened, as if she was restraining something, remembering that she was the daughter of a Shangshu, fully qualified to marry the imperial family, and the criminal department happened to be the person of King Qing, if the queen wanted to choose (stable) concubines (forces) for King Qing, if nothing else, Zhang Yingying should be listed.

"I have other things to do, Yingying is here to accompany Ah Jiang. Liu Ya sighed silently.

"Hmm. Zhang Yingying looked at her departing figure and looked at Murong Jiang hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Murong Jiang wondered.

"No, nothing. ”

Murong Jiang took her hand and said, "In the past, Yingying had the grace to relieve my difficulties, although we rarely met, but I have always treated you like a sister, even though the house is full of changes now, it still does not prevent the two of us from talking, if you feel uncomfortable, don't see outside?"

Zhang Yingying held the courage for a long time and said, "Sister Murong really likes it...... King Ye?"

Although Murong Jiang had expected what she wanted to ask, she was still poked by these words, and she pretended to smile lightly: "That's right." ”

"But King Ye, he-"

"He only likes the willow test. Murong Jiang said softly, "I know, he has clearly told me, and I have accepted this fact, but I like it is never chopsticks, pick it up when I pick it up, and put it down easily, if I say that I am not sad, it is false, but I don't want them to be unhappy because of me, Liu Jian is a girl worthy of him, and I am convinced that I am defeated." ”

That night, when Liu Ya came to ask for acting, she wanted to explain the night party, but she blocked her words, and said, "You have ten thousand ways to easily impress men, but you disdain to 'bully others', 'do evil', if you can really let go of the spirit of the famous family, the world will be chaotic', they have only known each other for a few days, but she believes in her so much and understands her.

If Liu Ya had the slightest ridicule and sarcasm at that time, maybe she wouldn't have decided to let go.

The light rain seemed to have no intention of stopping, caressing everything gently, leaving a little trace of coolness.

Liu Ya held an umbrella, and under the leadership of the maid who was caught at random, she came to a certain wing of a huge bungalow, and heard a low cough coming from inside, and the maid knocked on the door and said, "Aunt Mi, please come to see you!"

Aunt Mi hurriedly welcomed Liu Ya into the door, "Da Shao is really, how can you bother Liu Ya to test?"

"Anyway, if you're free, I'll take a look, you are generous, and you give a lot of consultation fees. Liu Ya motioned for her to reach out.

Aunt Mi stretched out her hand tremblingly, but heard Liu Ya suddenly say, "There have been a lot of Murong family affairs recently, right? It should be busy with you, holding a birthday, the backyard must cooperate with the front yard, and the guests will clean up the paving, Aunt Mi, as the steward of the backyard, must be so busy that she will be dizzy, and the birthday banquet is over, so she can't even wake up from the noise." ”

"Yes, yes, if you tell the rest of the arrangements, the slave and maid will not be able to stand it, and they will not wake up. Aunt Mi panicked away from Liu Ya's gaze and said, "Fortunately, Liu Jian helped, and the elder pavilion was fine, otherwise the slaves and maids would not be able to repay these favors." ”

Liu Ya retracted her hand to check the pulse, "Aunt Mi's body can indeed only be maintained by medicine, fortunately, she lives in this valley where the four seasons are like spring, and she strictly cooperates with the recuperation, and she will not be far from it in the future. She got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned back and said:

"The sweet soup you cook is delicious, I remember when I was a child, my mother also used to make red bean lotus seed lily soup, but I don't know why I don't like to eat lotus seeds, she has always loved me, every time I help me pick it out, I said, 'Don't put lotus seeds next time', she told me that lotus seeds are a good thing, nourishing vitality, nourishing the heart and soothing the eyes, but also strengthening the spleen and stomach, and picking out is not troublesome, as long as I like it, she can even give me my life. ”

She suddenly raised her lips and smiled, "But as a daughter, how can I be willing to take her life." ”

"I heard that Aunt Mi did not marry before the Murong family, and married someone under the perfection of the Bian family, but unfortunately there are unforeseen circumstances, the husband was infected with the plague and died, when you were busy dealing with the aftermath, the four-year-old daughter was lost, although the Bian family asked a lot of connections to help find it, but it was always fruitless, you were desperate, and returned to the Bian family, and married to the Murong family. ”

Liu Ya looked at Aunt Mi who was stunned, "You are grateful to the Bian family for their kindness to you, all these years have been repaid to Murong Zhao and Murong Jiang, you accidentally found out that the second uncle Murong was pretending to be crazy and stupid, knowing that he wanted to give the Bian family justice, so he became his eye in the valley, you are the steward of the backyard, no matter when and where you walk everywhere, you can find the most appropriate reason, and it will not make people suspicious." ”

"I checked the personnel records of the Murong family, loquat, Xiao Zhao, orange, bayberry, Xiao Qian, lychee, pomegranate, when they came in, you just became a steward, and you taught them the rules, you have always been kind and never mistreated any maid and entourage, so they all respect you and respect you, treat you as half a mother, and you learned a lot of news from them. ”

"For example, Murong Jiang and Yuwen Qiu's night meeting, this should be something that only her personal maid knows. ”

Aunt Mi said in a panic, "You, Liu is testing you, are you suspicious of me?"

Liu Ya chuckled and took out a stack of folded rice paper from her arms and said, "Isn't this as Aunt Mi wishes?"

A little cold sweat oozed from the corner of Aunt Mi's forehead, and she looked at her in horror, and listened to Liu Ya continue: "This is a confession available to the people in the house, they have proved Aunt Mi's abnormal behavior before and after the crime, and everyone feels that as a steward, especially a steward like you, who has no grievances with them, even if it appears in those places by 'coincidence', it is just a routine inspection work, and there is no doubt about it." ”

"But Murong Zhao's words reminded me, he said that you rarely go out and walk around on weekdays, I asked other servants, and confirmed that your health is getting worse and worse, in recent years, except for major events such as the New Year's Festival, ordinary, you are all instructing the small ones, and when you meet the birthday of the old Murong Pavilion to entertain guests, you are worried that the small ones will not be done properly, and you specially instructed the pomegranate you brought up to be responsible for supervising the work. ”

"After she is indeed in order, you still have no peace of mind, and go to check it yourself, cautiously, and there is no room for mistakes, no one just thinks that you are performing such an ordinary position as a steward, how can you delve into this sudden coincidence, and whether it is not so reasonable. ”

Aunt Mi slumped on the chair dejectedly, "That's right! I killed everyone! I hate them so much! It was Murong Sa and Hong Chenrui who killed the loquat, it was they who destroyed the loquat, such a good child! In this way, they were killed by two corpses, without remorse, and the more they passed, the more nourishing they became, since God is unwilling to punish them, then I will do it myself!"

"What about Van Datong?"

"It's no wonder that he saw things he shouldn't see! I killed him! And he's not a good person!

"Do you know that if you murder Xungui, you will be punished by the division of the corpse of five horses, and you will need to be in the wilderness of corpses?"

"Oh, half of my body has already stepped into the coffin board, why should I be afraid of any criminal punishment? If my life can be exchanged for the happiness of thousands of girls, I think it's worth it!" Aunt Mi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "In this way, the girls who have been mutilated by them can rest in peace!"

"The motive for the crime, the time of the crime, the traces of the crime-" Liu Ya sighed as if she was sighing, "--you 'manufacture' it completely, but what is fake is fake, not to mention that scapegoating involves human life and touching the law, it is enough for a mother to do this, if your daughter who was lost many years ago knows that you defend her so much, you will definitely not blame you for 'not wanting' her in the first place." ”

"No!" Aunt Mi jumped up and knelt down in front of Liu Ya like a cat that had been stepped on by her tail, "No, it's no, it's me!" she pleaded bitterly, "Please don't misunderstand Liu Inspection, I really killed people, it's not about pomegranates, no-"

"I didn't say it was about pomegranates. ”

Aunt Mi looked at Liu Ya dumbfounded, unable to believe that she had fallen into her language trap like this.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Murong Zhao walked in with a pomegranate who was crying silently.

Pomegranate looked at Aunt Mi with mixed feelings, "How is it possible?Aunt Mi, how can it be my mother?!"

Aunt Mi lost her voice and said, "You have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on your shoulder, I won't admit it, you happen to don't like to eat lotus seeds, I remember when I saw you pick out the lotus seeds in the sweet soup before, I asked you why you don't like to eat, you don't remember clearly, before you were picked up by your adoptive mother, you didn't like it, maybe you were still young when you were lost, you don't remember anything, but you still have the impression that you were choked on eating lotus seeds." ”

"That's when your father died, I'm too busy and overwhelmed, you were choked, I only scolded you, I didn't care about you, and I caused you to get lost!" Aunt Mi was so sad that she almost fainted from crying, "It's all my fault! I caused it, if I hadn't lost you that day! You wouldn't have been picked up, and you wouldn't have run to kill people because of the grace of parenting!

The happy opera troupe that had performed in a nearby town that year, the maid who was on stage by Murong Sa, Hong Chenrui, and Fan Datong was the one who picked up the pomegranate back, and later although Zhenguo Gong lost money, the ten-year-old girl still committed suicide, and her parents couldn't withstand the heavy blows and chose to commit suicide.

"They! they're all of them! damn it!" Pomegranate cried out, she jerked up at Liu Ya and said, "They hurt my sister, and they hurt my adoptive parents! Not enough!
