The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 337 Breakthrough

Cui Hengyue returned to the mansion with doubts, and sat by the window recalling the old things Qionghua told her.

"Yuan Niang, what are you thinking?"

Hearing the sound, Cui Hengyue looked back and saw that it was Mrs. Wen, so she told her what happened outside the mansion today: "You have been inquiring about the news for so long in the mansion, but have you ever heard that the second wife has a child who has passed away? ?”

Mrs. Wen thought for a while: "I haven't heard of the child who passed away, but the second wife had a tire slip once."

"You're talking about the day I was born?" Cui Hengyue asked.

Seeing Mrs. Wen nodding, Cui Hengyue frowned slightly: "I heard from Qionghua that after my mother became pregnant, other aunts and aunts in the mansion became pregnant one after another.

"On the seventh day of July of that year, my second aunt slipped a tire due to her weakness.

"Sanfang my mother gave birth to me and my brother"

Cui Hengyue didn't want to tell her brother at first, but when she got along with Mrs. Wen these days, she felt that Mrs. Wen was trustworthy, so she told the truth.

When Mrs. Wen heard this, she was surprised: "You still have a brother? Why have I never heard of it from you?"

After a pause, doubts appeared in her eyes: "I asked many servants, and they all said that the wife of the third master's original wife only gave birth to a daughter, and that is you.

"It seems that the owners of each house don't know that you have a sibling brother."

How is this going?

Cui Hengyue sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Because my brother died less than an hour after he was born, and"

Cui Hengyue stopped suddenly, it was not time yet.

She paused, and continued: "My brother's death is very strange. I haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I find out the clues."

Lady Wen didn't ask, but just looked at Cui Hengyue distressedly: "If you need help, just ask."

Cui Hengyue gave a soft "hmm" and continued the previous topic: "On the seventh day of July, only my brother and I were born in the third room.

"The next day, that is, on the eighth day of the seventh month, the fourth aunt gave birth to a daughter, who was the former Yuan Niang, but she died young.

"Also, Fifth Aunt gave birth to a son that day, namely Shiro"

While talking, a flash of light flashed in Cui Hengyue's mind: "Tell me, could Second Aunt's miscarriage be caused by human beings instead of weak health?"

For Cui Hengyue's guess, Mrs. Wen was very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Cui Hengyue's guess was not impossible: "On weekdays, I see the second lady walking like flying, acting like a rush, she doesn't look like a weak person.

"Besides, I haven't heard that the second lady had any serious illness, so it shouldn't cause a tire slip."

After hearing Mrs. Wen's words, Cui Hengyue felt more and more that Mrs. Cui's tire slip was very strange. Maybe it had something to do with her father's death of her brother.

After all, Cui's family had two children who died within one day, and both were children conceived by the legitimate son-in-law's wife, which is too strange.

Thinking about the cold wars hidden under the harmony that she heard and saw during this period of time, it shows that the people in the various houses of the Cui Mansion are not as harmonious and working together as the outside world has said.

"Tell me." Cui Hengyue asked suddenly: "Is there really such a thing as a tiger's poison in this world?"

Lady Wen's eyes widened. She felt that she had guessed something inside, but she quickly recovered her indifferent expression: "The world is so big, there are so many wonders, maybe there are such unconscionable things."

Cui Hengyue was silent.

Time passed little by little, and the afterglow in the sky gradually disappeared.

The people sent by Guo Yihui returned to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment one after another, and reported to Guo Yihui: "Master, we have asked, but we still haven't got anything."

Guo Yihui looked at them, sweating on their foreheads, looking very tired.

He couldn't bear it, so he said to them: "Everyone has worked hard, we are here today, go back and rest."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and they didn't refuse, and left after thanking them.

Guo Yihui sat on a chair and continued to think about the case.

With his current ability, he can only dispatch personnel below the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. Most of them are from poor families and have no power, let alone dare to offend the powerful.

Not to mention whether they can solve the case, once they know that what they are looking for is the evidence of General Zuo Wuwei's murder, I am afraid they will shrink back.

After all, General Zuo Wuwei was backed by the emperor's grandfather and the empress dowager's father, and even the regent was courteous to the Cui family, not to mention their humble children.

In front of that young man during the day, he swore that he would bring the murderer to justice, but now that he thinks about it, he feels very helpless.

However, seeing the pile of documents on the case, Guo Yihui's eyes instantly became firm. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead, he must stick to justice.

Guo Yihui reorganized the case in his mind and finally found a breakthrough.

His strength is not enough to shake the tree, so he will find a knife that can shake the tree.

A smile appeared on Guo Yihui's face, then he left the Yamen and rented a donkey cart to the palace.

Wangfu.

Chu Dong hurriedly walked to the door of the study: "Ah Lang, please see me from the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Wang Wenqian gave a pause when he was sorting the books. He was going to accompany his mother for dinner after finishing the books, but now it seems that he will not be able to go tonight.

"Tell him to go to the flower hall, I will come later."

After Chu Dong left, Wang Wenqian continued to sort out the books. After sorting out, he told the servant outside the door: "Go and tell the old lady that I won't be going tonight."

"Yes." The servant took the order and left.

Wang Wengan then went to the flower hall.

Seeing Wang Wenqian coming in, Guo Yihui hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty has seen Wang Shangshu."

Wang Wenqian smiled: "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

Then, he ordered Chu Dong to exchange hot tea for Guo Yihui.

Guo Yihui watched Chu Dong finish his work quietly. He thought that Chu Dong would leave, but he didn't expect Chu Dong to stand beside Wang Wengan after he finished his work.

He had no choice but to say: "Wang Shangshu, in fact, I came here today to talk to you alone."

Wang Wenqian understood and winked at Chudong.

So, Chu Dong left the flower hall and stood guard outside the door.

Only then did Guo Yihui get to the point: "Dare to ask Wang Shangshu, I heard that Ye Zhicheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has a close personal relationship with you. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"That's right, Ye Shilang and I are like-minded, and we often drink tea together." Wang Wenqian did not deny it.

Guo Yihui continued: "Ye Shilang was killed, you must be very sad, who do you think the murderer is?"

Is he here to inquire about news?

Wang Wenqian replied calmly: "Ye Shilang was killed in the mansion, if the murderer was not from the Ye mansion, then there must be an internal response to the murderer in the Ye mansion.

"Your criminal department has investigated for so many days, is it really fruitless?"

Guo Yihui's expression froze: "It was true that there was nothing to gain before, but today I went to the Ye Mansion again and sent someone to question the people around me.

"After running around for a day, I finally gained something."

When he said this, Guo Yihui deliberately looked at Wang Wengan's expression, and sure enough, seeing Wang Wengan's face change slightly, he asked anxiously, "Have you found the murderer?"

Guo Yihui opened his mouth to say something, but changed his mind the next moment. He took out the blood book from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the blood book that should be written in Ye Mansion."

A blood book that should be written in Ye Mansion?
That must have revealed the murderer.

Wang Wenqian hurriedly took the blood book and read it.

How could it be him?
