Nanny Bao was pulled up from the ground half-supported and half-pressed by Fusang.When she reached under the curtain, she suddenly stopped and turned around: "It doesn't matter how the girl treats me, just please insist on finding out the cause of wife's death. As long as the murderer is brought to justice, the old slave will die in peace!"

Su Luo turned her back to her without saying a word.

Nanny Bao lowered her eyes in disappointment, and walked out with Fusang.

When the beaded curtains clashed again from behind, it was Fusang who had returned. She walked up to Su Luo who was still standing there, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss, sit down for a while."

Only then did Su Luo react, her gaze slowly shifted from the window to the couch, and she sat down with her skirt up: "Is the prison ready?"

Fusang nodded: "Everything has been done according to the girl's order. But," she paused, and then she mustered up the courage to continue: "After all, Mother Bao is an old man, and she is also the wife's wet nurse. She usually receives gifts from the girl. I can bear it, I'm afraid it's against the rules to imprison her now. The Su family is not a mean family, especially the elderly who have contributed to the mansion. If it spreads out, it will be bad for the girl's reputation - what the servant means is that even if you want to do this, you can't do it. There has to be an explanation."

Su Luo sat down and took a sip of tea first.

Fusang was by his side, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, he said in a more gentle voice: "Of course a servant is a servant after all, if you make a mistake, it's nothing for the girl to punish and punish. Guess the master and wife will ask, Madam Bao And I won't dare to tell the truth. Let's make up an excuse later." She didn't hear all the words in the room at the door, but she heard the general idea.

Su Wei looked at the teacup, but remained silent for a while.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door, she turned her head and saw Su Qi at the door.

After meeting her eyes, Su Qi came straight in and said, "Sure enough, you are right. I sent Lao Feng to Wu Chun's place. Wu Chun immediately went to report to the second uncle, and the second uncle ordered him to be beaten. I quickly Stop it, say that the things will be recovered, so let's just chase him out. The second uncle also agreed, and I sent You Chun'er to stop it just now."

Su Wei said: "Hide him better." After speaking, she got up and went into the house, and took two keys: "There is a house left by my mother in Guizi Hutong, lock him there, and let Ximo take care of him."

Earlier, when she asked Mrs. Xu for the keys to the storeroom, Mrs. Xu gave her all the keys, together with Mrs. Xie's dowry list. Later, Su Shou didn't say anything, and these things just came in handy at this time.

……

Han Mo left it to Dou Yin and the others to figure out how to get the documents. Not long after arriving at the Yamen today, Dou Yin and Song Yan came together.

"Following the person who went back to Zhuangzi to buy a field, there is new news here. He is called Jiang Xun. On the third day after Shizi bumped into him, Jiang Xun went to the farm again and asked the head of the village to mediate the purchase of the field. According to our It was given to the chief in advance, and the chief has been dealing with him for the past few days. Of course, we have also sent Yu Zhao over there, pretending to be one of the tenants' sons, to contact him. What exactly do you want to plot.

"Then, after Luo Zhi stared at it for a few days, he had an opportunity, but he didn't know if he could use it."

"Let's listen." Han Mo put down the official document.

Song Yan went on to say: "Brother Qian had a banquet with Chen Xuan that day, and Luo Zhi also appeared there. Although it was confirmed that they had colluded with each other, it still seemed a bit of a coincidence. I went to check Chen Xuan's place again. After the day's banquet, I found that he met Luo Zhi on the street after leaving the restaurant. At the same time, Luo Zhi handed him a bag. Chen Xuan took this bag, and then went to the mansion of Liang Jing, a member of the military election department. superior."

Han Mo said: "You mean, on the same day, the two brothers from the Chen family went to the Liang family one after another?"

"Not only did I go, but the burden, I went to Tan Liang's house later, and found that it was some gold and silver jewelry, including some silver ingots."

"What is this for?"

"If my guess is correct, Luo Zhi wanted to bribe Liang Jing, and the Chen brothers were the lobbyists he sent. That night, it should be Chen Min who failed to persuade Liang Jing, and Luo Zhi handed that to Chen Xuan again, so that He continued to attack the Liang family." Song Yan took out a sealed document from his arms, "This was found in Liang Jing's room, and it was placed on his desk. This is the list of the Ministry of War preparing for the military election this summer. Among them are Among the circled names, there is one named Chen Yuanguang, who is Luo Zhi's nephew, that is, his wife Chen's natal nephew."

Han Mo raised his eyebrows: "So, Luo Zhi bribed Liang Jing in order to keep his nephew, who was circled off, from entering the camp as a general."

"That's how it looks at the moment."

Han Mo got up and took two steps, and then said: "It's not a big deal. But, for us to make a fuss right now, the opportunity is enough." He looked at Song Yan: "You take this burden and trust Go to the front to report a case, saying that when we patrolled around the Baoxiang last night, we found someone acting suspiciously, and we need to apply for a token to search."

Song Yan said with a smile: "Very good. I expect Mr. Lin will not refuse."

When they went to the front, Dou Yin came over and said, "The case has been reported here, and Luo Zhi will show his feet soon. I will go back first and ask someone to keep an eye on Luo's family."

"Go."

Han Mo sent him away.Suddenly remembered: "You need someone to bring Qin Ye over. It's best to call Su Luo out too."

After speaking, he stroked his chin.

……

Fusang was right to be worried. After Madam Bao was locked up, Mrs. Xu immediately expressed her concern and came over in person.

According to Fusang's suggestion, Su Wei made a name for herself and dealt with it.After hearing this, Mrs. Xu also agreed. After all, being generous to a servant and pampering a servant are two different things.However, she still persuaded her a few words, and asked Su Luo to show some sympathy for Bao Mama who had served Mrs. Xie.Su Luo also responded with Hu.

After Bao Momo left, Su Wei almost didn't want to speak.

During the showdown with Nanny Bao, Su Luo didn't really believe that she was the murderer, but the doubts in her drew Su Luo to think in this direction.However, Su Wei never thought that neither Nanny Bao nor the Xie family were the murderers, and the truth behind the Xie family's series of doubts was that they were plotting the Su family's ancestral skills!
This completely overturned her previous guess.It turned out that the Xie family, whom she regarded as relatives subconsciously, was not honest and kind. They did not come to Beijing to see her and Su Qi for so many years, and it was not because of Su Shou's obstruction. It was because they were not concerned about her and Su Qi at all!
Su Wei sat by the window for a whole day, until the night was dark, but she still couldn't calm down her heart.

After breakfast the next day, Su Qi suddenly rushed into the room again: "I'm going to die! This time I'm really going to die! Do you know why my father was suddenly awarded the honor a few days ago?!"

How could Su Luo have the heart to cooperate with him to trick him?He only glanced at it lightly and picked up the soup cup.

Su Qi rolled up his sleeves and said, "It turns out that Duke Zhen wanted to take over the control of the Defense Department from the Ministry of War! He wanted to change the phone secretly, so he invited his father to let the Su family take over the job. Father refused. , the emperor gave such a sweet treat!"
