Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 278

"Didn't Steward Liang commit suicide?" Master Qin was immediately surprised, as if he couldn't believe it.

You must know from the beginning that he believed that Butler Liang died of suicide, but now Su Xuan's expression is completely different, which makes Master Qin's heart beating for a while, and his face is full of surprises besides surprise.

"Last night, did the family invite someone to drink?" Su Xuan didn't mention the cause of Butler Liang's death, but directly asked Master Qin about the banquet last night.

Since Mrs. Liang Zhao said that Steward Liang and a few servants were drinking and having banquets at the Qin Mansion, naturally there would be no troubles. She believed that Master Qin should be aware of this, so she directly asked Master Qin.

"Invite people to drink? No matter. During this period of time, the government has scattered people in every corner of the street because they can't collect food. Anyone who dares to drink and eat will be called by the government to hand over the food!" Master Qin immediately said to Su Xuan, "This villain's family business is not big, and the food in the granary is the lifeblood of the whole family, so it's natural that you can't be sloppy!"

Mr. Qin’s remarks seem to have some truth. Yuzhou’s government has been short of food for more than a day or two. It’s good enough that merchants like them can save some food to feed their families. Isn’t it a crime to hold a banquet? ?

Han Yong and Zhao Dongchen knew this, so they had to search all over his Qin family, so that there was no property left in the Qin family.

So it makes sense for Mr. Qin not to hold a banquet at home, but Butler Liang told his wife that he was eating wine in Qin's mansion when he returned to the house, and he was so drunk that he almost passed out when he got home. This is also true.

Steward Liang is dead, what Liang Zhaoshi most wants to know is the cause of her husband's death, even for this, she can't lie about her husband's life, on the contrary, it makes it even more difficult for herself to get the real answer.

Therefore, Su Xuan judged that there were only two people who lied about this matter. One was Master Qin. He took advantage of the opportunity that others didn't know, and set up a table or two somewhere in the backyard, so that there was nothing wrong with letting the servants have a good meal Yes, after all, the Qin Mansion is so big, there is no business tolerance, so you won't enter his mansion to witness all this.

And the purpose of Master Qin's outrageous lie was very likely to conceal the cause of death of the deceased, so that people could not find out why, and in the end the case was left alone.

The second is that Steward Liang lied. The wine was not eaten in the Qin family at all, but was served in everything else, or someone with other interests invited him to drink, conspired and discussed something, for the sake of To prevent others from noticing the abnormality, he casually explained it in front of his wife, and then lay down to sleep.

Only in this way, the drink becomes complicated and confusing. I don't know where the drink was drunk, nor who participated in the invitation and planning of the drink, and the difficulty of finding it will continue to increase.

But no matter what, this drink and these people at the banquet must have some connection with Butler Liang's death. Su Xuan is almost sure of this, because when she is investigating this matter, she always feels that someone is obstructing her. Asking, this had to make her vigilant.

"That's true. After entering the Yuzhou Mansion, the official ordered all personnel not to overeat. The surplus grain must be sold to the government at the purchase price of the grain, so that the government can help the victims. Therefore, Qin Yuanwai dare not serve wine. It's normal!" Han Yong said to Su Xuan at this time, he took the initiative to explain the situation, proving that Master Qin should not lie about this matter.

"If that's the case, then Steward Liang can only lie!" After Su Xuan heard this, she immediately said to Master Han Yong. It seemed that according to Master Han Yong's analysis, the liar must be Steward Liang himself. people.

"It should be so at the moment!" Han Yong seemed to be sure, although he did not find any evidence, but judging from the current inference, except for the lie of Butler Liang himself, there is almost no one else to be found.

"Liang Zhaoshi!" After hearing Han Yong's words, Su Xuan immediately shouted at Liang Zhaoshi who was waiting outside. It seemed that she was well prepared to bring Liang Zhaoshi to the Qin Mansion, and this would come in handy she.

"The housewife is here!" Following Su Xuan's call, Liang Zhaoshi did not dare to neglect, and walked slowly with her thin body, fearing that she would be blown away by the wind of walking if she was not careful.

When she came in front of Su Xuan and Han Yong, she immediately knelt down in front of Su Xuan and Han Yong, and immediately responded to Su Xuan's self-proclaimed woman.

"Liang Zhaoshi, how did you know that your husband drank in the Qin Mansion's compound last night?" Su Xuan asked Liang Zhaoshi directly without any opening remarks.

"When my husband came back, he was full of alcohol, so I asked my husband where did he drink with those cronies?" Liang Zhaoshi recounted yesterday's situation in front of Su Xuan, not daring to be negligent. , "The husband was drunk and fell on the bed. He told the woman that some of the servants in the Qin Mansion had been drinking, and then fell asleep. Husband just..."

When it came to the sad part, Liang Zhaoshi actually started to sob, as if Su Xuan and Han Yong were the two adults who needed to make decisions for her after suffering a great grievance, acting out the irritability of crying to the extreme.

"Okay, okay, go down and wait first!" Han Yong's head grew when he heard the crying. If it weren't for the fact that this place was in public, she might have already blocked her ears and used Come escape the cacophony.

"The woman obeys!" Liang Zhaoshi knew that her actions had caused Lord Han Yong's discomfort, so she stopped immediately, and said that she obeyed Lord Han Yong's order and went to wait.

"My lord, you are wronged. Xiaomin really didn't invite Steward Liang to drink, nor did he invite his family to accompany him!" Master Qin felt as if he was shocked out of his wits when he heard the words of Steward Liang's wife. Kneeling in front of Su Xuan and Han Yong, and shouting at Han Yong and Su Xuan immediately.

He knew that Steward Liang probably lost his life because of the drink, that's why Su Xuan and the others asked Steward Liang about drinking, and what Steward Liang's wife said naturally dragged the suspicion on him , which had to make him feel chilled.

"You said you never invited anyone to drink at your mansion, so would you ever let me check it at your mansion?" Su Xuan said to Master Qin at this time, it seemed that she didn't want to hear from both the prosecution and the defense. It's a one-sided statement, and I plan to verify it myself.

"Of course!" Master Qin responded to Su Xuan without any hesitation.

"Captain Lu, go find a dog!" Su Xuan saw that Master Qin had already agreed, so she immediately ordered Lu Feng.

"Dog?" Lu Feng looked at Su Xuan suspiciously, wondering what kind of tricks Su Xuan was playing, but since Su Xuan gave the order, he naturally did not dare to neglect, so after a little hesitation, he immediately responded to Su Xuan said, "Yes!"
