Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 5 Flaws
When all the ladies followed Ah Chuan to the foot of the rockery, Li Yanjun had already arrived.

She was crying loudly and scolding a young man who was sitting cross-legged on the ground at Zhang Xu in front of her, accusing him: "You must have killed my fourth sister! You bastard! I will never give up with you!"

The boy looked at her coldly, without saying a word.

Ah Chuan stepped forward to report to the young man: "Mr. Lang, I met these nobles on the way to report the letter. The nobles have already sent someone to tell the people in the Sui Palace. Presumably the doctor will arrive soon."

The young man nodded, stood up and saluted all the ladies, and introduced himself by the way: "I am Lin Jiu, the grandson of Lin Guogong, and I came to the Sui Palace with my grandmother to express my condolences. The grandmother and the princess are sisters from the natal family. The idlers hid outside. A servant girl told me that someone in the mansion wanted to see me and wanted to tell me about an important matter. I came here as I said, and saw this little lady lying on the ground seriously injured, and the murderer disappeared. I hurriedly asked the accompanying servants to go forward to report to the master, and I stayed here to prevent the murderer from coming back. Unexpectedly, this little lady just arrived here, before she even looked at the wounded, she pointed at my head Nose scolded, it is really inexplicable. I happened to meet someone who was injured, and I kindly asked someone to come to treat him, but I left guards behind, so why should I be splashed with dirty water instead?"

Except for Xiao Yang who felt that his words were somewhat different from the actual situation, all the ladies didn't think there was anything wrong.It is certainly inappropriate for the guests who came to express their condolences to come to the back garden casually, but since this young man said that he is a relative of Concubine Dou, it is not easy for them younger nieces and daughter-in-laws to say much.If he really hurt Sui Wang's granddaughter, someone will naturally hold him accountable.Li Yanjun's actions were too reckless.Right now, they still need to make sure the condition of the injured is urgent.

On the grass at the foot of the rockery in front, a little girl dressed in heavy filial piety was lying down. The filial piety on her head and the filial piety on her body were almost covered with blood. The scene was shockingly tragic.

Although the little girl's face is turned away from the visitor, the visitor cannot see her face clearly, but in the Sui Palace, the girl who is still missing at this age will wear a filial piety at the funeral of the successor princess Chen. Li Lijun is the only one left.This child has been weak since he was a child, and he has lost so much blood.

Immediately, several noble ladies showed sad expressions.The eyes of Mrs. Du's Duke of Xue Wang's Mansion were red, and she choked up and said, "How could this be? Her mother has only been away for three days..."

The county concubine who had a good relationship with Xiao Yang guessed: "Could it be that her mother took her away because she couldn't bear the child?"

Princess Wei of Jiyin County glanced at her coldly, not bothering to quarrel with her, so she just ordered the maid beside her to call for a doctor again.In any case, we must first find out whether the person is dead or alive, and whether he can be saved.

She went up to check on Li Lijun's injury in person: "How did this happen? Lin Xiaolang, you can see how Li Niang was injured..." She paused.

Lin Jiulang shook his head: "Someone asked me to meet at the pavilion on the rockery. When I walked around the front of the flowers and came here, I saw this little lady lying here with blood all over her head and body. At that time There's no one around."

Li Yanjun hurriedly said: "Since there is no one around, there are only two of you, master and servant, who else is not you?! Today everyone in the mansion is busy at the front, who will come to the garden at the back? Except you, there is no one else. !"

She turned to the elders angrily and complained: "I know who this person is! He is Lin Jiulang. He has always been notorious, and he is the most naughty. He just pushed the young man of the Wang family downstairs at the Wang family. Aunts and aunts don’t believe it, so just go to Wang’s house to inquire. He must have been running around in the garden, and when he saw the fourth younger sister here, he pushed her down from the rockery!” After complaining, she cried loudly, “I have pity on you. My fourth sister! You died tragically here before your ninth birthday, it really hurts me!"

She cried very sadly, but she didn't go close to her sister's "corpse" and stayed far away, which seemed a little insincere.

The ladies present, of course, had no brains to praise her for caring for her sister, and comforted her not to be too sad, but some people noticed that Lin Jiulang said just now that she "pointed at my wound before seeing the wounded." The nose scolded me", and I felt a little guilty in my heart.

Facing Li Yanjun's accusation, Lin Jiulang remained unhurried: "Little lady didn't have the guts to look closely at the wounded, and she already recognized her as your fourth younger sister, and knew that she fell from the mountain... I came earlier than you, so I don’t know about this, how did the little lady see it? Really good eyes!”

Li Yanjun choked suddenly, her eyes panicked, and she subconsciously looked at her mother Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang resented her daughter's lack of composure, and hurriedly described for her: "There are still bloodstains on the rocks over there, presumably Yanniang saw it with sharp eyes and guessed the truth."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the rockery, and sure enough there were obvious bloodstains on two protruding rocks.

But that doesn't fully explain Lee Yeon-niang's suspiciousness either.

Everyone could see clearly that when they came, they followed the servant and made two turns before coming here.It was covered by flowers, so if you didn't get closer to look, you wouldn't know that there was a person lying here.The servant didn't say at all that Li Lijun fell under the rockery, Li Yanjun had no one to lead the way, how did he find the place quickly?
Some things really can't be thought about carefully, and when you think about it carefully, you will be secretly shocked.

Seeing the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, Mrs. Yang secretly thought something was wrong, and was about to speak up to defend her daughter, when Li Yanjun spoke first: "Lin Jiulang, don't you want to kill my fourth sister and then put the blame on others. ! Besides my fourth younger sister, you are the only one who came to the garden, who else would it be if you didn't kill me?!"

Lin Jiulang sneered: "Could it be possible, little lady, to guard the garden gate all day? How do you know that no one else has entered this garden?!"

"I..." Li Yanjun choked, and quickly found a reason, "I saw the fourth younger sister coming, and I was worried that something would happen to her, so I specially asked someone to guard at the garden gate, so that no one else was allowed to come in and disturb her. Of course I knew No one else has come in!"

"But when I came in, there was no one guarding the gate of the garden." Lin Jiulang said indifferently, "On the way to the rockery, I met a few women doing chores. The little lady said that there was no one else in the garden, so I just I'm afraid it's not true."

"The maid is supposed to work in the garden, so how could she hurt my fourth sister?!" Li Yanjun said anxiously, "If you were a good person who kept the etiquette, you wouldn't trespass on other people's gardens! You must have bumped into me Fourth sister, I'm afraid she will tell others, so I will kill her!"

After she finished speaking, she threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mother! The fourth sister died so badly, we must not let her murderer go!"

Little Yang was already sweating profusely, but what else could she do besides appease her daughter?Although the daughter showed her flaws, as long as there is no evidence, it doesn't matter if others become suspicious again.

However, things don't go according to her wishes.

Princess Wei of Jiyin County stood up from Li Lijun, looked at Xiao Yang and Li Yanjun's mother and daughter: "Didn't Yanniang take a closer look at your sister's appearance? How do you know that she has been killed?"

Li Yanjun raised her tearful face and asked her inexplicably: "Why did my aunt say that? The tragic situation of the fourth younger sister is naturally caused by someone."

"Of course it's because... I'm not dead yet!" Li Lijun supported her body with her arms, sat up slowly, turned her head, and smiled at Li Yanjun with the blood on her face.
