At that moment, Xie Yixiang looked at Master Chang to see what he was going to explain. I saw a faint trace of embarrassment on Master Chang's face, and said with a smile: "Miss Xie San, Yu Shilang and Xia Guan of the Ministry of War are Jinshi in the same year, and their friendship has always been good, so if you calculate it carefully, you and Mrs. Bi are old acquaintances." ”

Xie Yixiang was immediately relieved, it turned out that the reason why this Chang Daren defended the Bi family everywhere was not only to respect the late General Bi Wuzong Bi, but also to have this relationship with Mrs. Bi. But thinking about it deeply, with the current emperor's old calculations, this case involving King Heng's murder, of course the emperor will personally intervene, and the Chang Daren who hosted the case was naturally handpicked by the emperor. Prior to this, the emperor must have already investigated the details of this Chang Lord, Mo said that the relationship with Mrs. Bi, even if it was three generations of his ancestors, the pro-military governor's mansion could investigate it clearly.

Therefore, the emperor knew that Master Chang and Na Yu Shilang were close friends, and that Yu Shilang's eldest daughter was now the Duchess of Zheng Guo, but he still appointed him as the host official of this murder, which actually showed the emperor's attitude, which was to remember the exploits of Bi Wuzong in the past, and wanted to protect Bi Wuzong's descendants, and it was even very likely that he had hinted at Lord Chang and asked him to be extrajudicial and gracious, but he couldn't do it too obviously. But at the same time, this also shows that the emperor does not like his eleventh prince very much, even if there is news that King Heng died in Bifu, he is unwilling to investigate the guilt of Bifu.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Xie Yixiang smiled at Master Chang and said, "Lord Chang's good intentions are really not easy. I'm afraid that some people don't appreciate it. That Master Chang also knew that after Xie Yixiang knew about the relationship between him and Mrs. Bi, he was immediately able to figure out the key, and immediately sighed and said with a smile: "Miss Xie San, why doesn't she have good intentions? Although she took this hot potato, some people couldn't trust us in the end, so she also sent a friend from the Governor's Mansion. ”

Xie Yixiang shook her head and said with a smile: "Although the Duwei Mansion is a close confidant of the emperor, it is mixed among them, and it must be divided into three, six, nine and so on. If the person sent is different, the meaning is very different. Master Chang hadn't thought about this before, but he suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes! Xiantong is not only Miss Xie San's senior brother, but also has a marriage contract with Miss San, of course, he is also his own person." ”

In this way, the emperor's intention could not be clearer, and the officials sent by the imperial court to investigate the case this time are actually two lines: one bright and one dark. The bright line is the Chang Master of the Criminal Department, and the dark line is the first Jingyue of the pro-military governor's mansion, but these two people have more or less friendship with Bifu, of course, they want to open up to Bifu. At that moment, Xie Yixiang and Master Chang looked at each other and smiled, since they already knew each other, it could be regarded as a heart-to-heart exchange.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Yixiang asked Mrs. Bi a few more words, but she didn't gain anything, Mrs. Bi said a few words, and even on the grounds of physical discomfort, she bowed to everyone and went back to the house to rest. Since there was nothing to gain from Mrs. Bi, Xie Yixiang had to cheer up and continue to interrogate the remaining women in the front hall. When everyone in the hall finished lunch one after another, Xie Yixiang was almost interrogated, but there was still no breakthrough.

Just when Xie Yixiang was about to give up, but unexpectedly, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and interrogated the middle-aged and elderly woman dressed as the penultimate servant. But when questioned, the old woman refused to tell anything.

Interrogating this kind of nervous person, Xie Yixiang is very experienced, and knows that if the other party is pushed too hard, the effect will not be good. So she was not in a hurry to ask, first asked the identity of the old woman, and listened to the introduction of the Fu housekeeper next to her, it turned out that she was an old servant in the house, and she was called 'Aunt Chun' by the people in the house, and she was still an old servant who served the late General Bi Wuzong Bi. Xie Yixiang hurriedly asked someone to bring a stool and invite this Aunt Chun to sit down, but she was still not in a hurry to ask, but turned to Lord Chang next to her and asked, "Lord Chang, in the three months that Bifu has been banned, your people have naturally already asked about this Aunt Chun, yes or no?"

Sure enough, Master Chang groaned slightly, and immediately whispered to Xie Yixiang: "We have carefully interrogated everyone in the mansion, this Aunt Chun is old, although she is a little crazy in her words, but on the night of the crime, she was staying with several female dependents in the mansion, and they can prove to each other that there is no suspicion." We saw that she had nothing to do with the case, and we were afraid that we would ask her about Bifu's privacy, so we didn't ask more. ”

You must know that Xie Yixiang's inquiry at the moment was forced by Bi Changxiao, so he didn't worry about any pickled things in Bifu at all, even if he really found out something that made Bifu embarrassed, it was Bi Changxiao who was cocooning himself and couldn't complain about others. So Xie Yixiang said to Aunt Chun: "Aunt Chun, I am the third daughter of General Xie's family, and I am the daughter of Uncle Bi Wuzong's best friend Xie Fengxuan. This time I came here to serve the emperor's holy decree, and it also represents the Jinling Torture Room. If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will definitely be able to make decisions for you. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Chun's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she turned into a puzzled look, and asked rhetorically: "Are you really the third lady of the Xie family?" After that, she stared at Xie Yixiang for a while, and said to herself: "Yes, you are really Xie Fengxuan's daughter, I remember you...... More than ten years ago, you and your father came to Bifu together......" Xie Yixiang nodded and said with a smile: "Since Aunt Chun knows me, she knows that I am not lying." If you have any grievances hidden in your heart, even if you say it bluntly, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

I saw that Aunt Chun was stunned for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "Murder! Murder in the house!" Xie Yixiang was shocked, and immediately asked: "Aunt Chun is talking about the guest who was beheaded that night?" Who knew that Aunt Chun shook her head desperately and said, "No...... Not the headless corpse of that night......"

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that the so-called 'once you enter the Houmen is as deep as the sea' is true, in this splendid Bifu, in the dark corners where the sun can't shine, I don't know how many things are hidden that can't see the light. With his current inquiry, not only did he find out a lot of deceitful flies and dogs, but he even heard about the life lawsuit from the mouth of this Aunt Chun.

That Master Chang heard that it had nothing to do with the murder of Bi Mansion that night, and he was afraid that what Aunt Chun was about to say would make the Bi family unable to step down, so he hurriedly shouted: "Since it has nothing to do with this case, then don't say it." Who knew that Bi Changxiao's temper was meant to come, but when he heard this, he couldn't hold it back, and immediately shouted: "Aunt Chun, if you really have everyone's face, don't hesitate to say anything you have to say." What killed someone, who killed whom, you can tell me clearly. If you dare to conceal it, beware of me arranging for the family law to serve!"

Aunt Chun's face suddenly twitched, and her mouth just repeated the words, "Murder...... Killed someone......" Bi Changxiao couldn't help but shout, and asked again: "Tell me clearly! Who killed someone?" Aunt Chun was so frightened by him that she jumped up from the stool and blurted out: "The third son has killed someone!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people present were shocked, the so-called "third son" naturally refers to Bi Wuzong's third son, Bi Changxiao's younger brother Bi Changming, how could he kill someone? Everyone immediately looked at Bi Changming next to the master's seat, and saw that when he heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still calmly asked: "Who did I kill?"

After Aunt Chun said this, she seemed to be a little alert, and she closed her mouth tightly, not daring to say anything more. Bi Changming immediately said angrily: "You crazy woman, if it weren't for the fact that you are an old servant in the mansion and have served my father and mother for many years, I would have taken you, a crazy woman who is chattering with gods, out of the mansion! Don't talk nonsense here, get out of here quickly!"

Xie Yixiang couldn't help sneering in her heart, it was obvious that Bi Changxiao asked herself to carefully interrogate these women in the house, don't have any scruples, now this Aunt Chun keeps saying that Bi Changming killed someone, although I don't know if it's true or not, but as soon as Bi Changxiao saw that this matter involved his younger brother, he immediately turned his face and denied it, wanting to cover up the matter.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Aunt Chun doesn't need to be frightened, punishing evil and promoting good, this is the true character of a chivalrous man." It's like Guan Gong, who often appears in this Shu land, although he also kills people, but he only kills the wicked, and the people all applaud when they hear it. So even if Bi Sangongzi kills someone, it depends on who he killed. There is a way to eliminate evil is to do good, if he kills a great traitor, then even if I am in the torture room, I will turn a blind eye and do not know anything. ”

Hearing Xie Yixiang's kind words, Aunt Chun seemed to be slightly relieved, but immediately became nervous again. I saw her stretch out her hand and point at Bi Changming next to the master's seat, and screamed: "The third prince has killed someone...... I saw it with my own eyes, he killed Young Master Changming...... He killed the third son!"
