Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 18
It has been two days since Wan Yan returned to Jiaofang Division.

The day and the original are two days of ice and fire.

Except for the normal daily performances, my mother never asked her to go out to work, and she didn't mention anything about selling to the king.

Xue Wanyan was a little strange.

That day Master Su sent her back to the Jiaofang Division, closed the door with her mother and said a few words, and then left.

When my mother appeared again, she turned around and went downstairs without looking for her except to give her a hard look.

I asked familiar little sisters, and they only said that their mother turned from joy to anger when she saw Wanyan come back.

Mom told everyone that the government had found out the truth, and Wanyan had nothing to do with Wei Zhengwu's assassination, so she returned to Jiaofangsi.

For the past two days, Wan Yan was happy and leisurely.

But also curious.

What did the adults say to mom?
When Wan Yan returned to Jiaofang Division, there was only one person who was not happy, and that was Sister Tang Hong.

Since Wan Yan was open and honest with the adults that morning, she also knew his thoughts on the whole case.

Master Su told her to put Tang Hong on the key investigators.

Wan Yan asked at the time, since it has been determined that the murderer is related to the third bag of sand and gravel, why not go to the sand and gravel field to arrest people directly?
The adult replied in this way: there are more than a hundred people working in the sand and gravel factory. In addition to sand mining, there are also people who pull feet and deliver goods. The turnover of personnel is very large.

Instead of casting a wide net to find a needle in a haystack at the sand mining plant, it is better to start from the scene of the crime.

The murderer should have an accomplice, and this person might be Tang Hong.

Even if Tang Hong was not an accomplice, she was more or less an insider.

The adults also told her that the best place for the murderer to hide in and out of the crime scene was downstairs in the room where Wei Zhengwu was killed.

And that room was exactly the Peony Hall where Tang Hong entertained guests.

Wan Yan said that she had never smelled sand and stones on the guests, but Tang Hong was different.

She is the most common official prostitute.

The adults said that the murderer is very cruel, but the living conditions are simple and difficult. If you come to Jiaofang to have fun, the murderer will not be generous.

Wan Yan analyzed Tang Hong.

Tang Hong is a girl who likes to push the high and trample the low.

She was particularly interested in the identity of the guest. If the murderer could stay in Jiaofang Division for one night, Tang Hong might treat the murderer differently.

My lord also suspects one thing, that the person who threw Wanyan's hairpin at the crime scene that day may be this Tanghong girl.

Wan Yan was very confused after hearing the adults' analysis, where did Tang Hong's hostility towards her come from?

One day, Wanyan was copying paintings in the room, and smelled the strong fragrance of powder from the door. There was only one sister who liked this smell.

Sister Tanghong.

Xue Wanyan listened intently, but Tang Hong just stood at the door and did not make any other movements.

After a while, the smell drifted away.

Wanyan opened the door.

Just after noon, most of the sisters were sleeping in their respective rooms, and there were intermittent sounds of silk and bamboo in the training ground.

The hallway was empty.

Wan Yan was suspicious, and Tang Hong definitely stopped by her door.

What does she want to do?
Thinking that Tang Hong was the breakthrough point of the case, Wan Yan straightened her dress and took the initiative to attack.

In the past two days, Wan Yan observed carefully, Tang Hong really seemed to have something on her mind, and was very angry when eating.

In the corridor, she was often heard arguing with her sisters.

Tang Hong lives in the innermost room in the corridor on the third floor, and there are four sisters in the room.

Wan Yan walked to the door of the room and knocked on the door.

Tang Hong's voice came from inside, very impatient: "Who?"

"Sister Tang Hong, I'm Wan Yan."

The people inside pondered for a while, then the door opened suddenly, Tang Hong stared with impatience written on her face: "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

There was only Tang Hong in the room.

Wan Yan smiled and nodded: "Well, Master Su suspected me that day because my hairpin was found at the scene of the crime. When I came back this time, I asked everyone that someone saw Sister Tanghong entering my room that day."

In fact, Wan Yan did not investigate, combined with the overheard conversation between Tang Hong and her mother that day, the little girl firmly believed that the person who framed her was Tang Hong.

Tang Hong was really angry and refused to admit it at all: "What are you talking about? I think you are biting Lu Dongbin, why should I frame you, why should I frame you."

Wan Yan lowered her head.

When she doesn't want to talk, anyone will think she is gentle and delicate.

Wan Yan's beauty stimulated Tang Hong, and she became even angrier: "Look at you, you can even escape from killing people. You really have lost the king's law. Hmph, I don't know what ecstasy drug you gave Master Su, but he actually did it for you. You speak well."

Wan Yan was soft and weak, not angry at all: "Speaking of which, I have to thank my sister. It wasn't my sister who reminded me that day, so I had the courage to show my shame in front of adults."

Tang Hong's heart was going to explode with anger: "Okay, it's okay, you go, don't be an eyesore to me."

"No, I heard some rumors in Tongshan Mansion. The adults said that the murderer was a man. He went in and out through the window that night and stayed in the Jiaofang Division. I am curious. There were not many sisters who entertained guests that night. Where can he stay? Woolen cloth?"

Tang Hong's face turned red little by little, she turned her gaze away from Xue Wanyan's eyes.

Wan Yan admires Su Jizhi, it seems that your lord guessed it right.

Tang Hong, is she really an accomplice?

"Sister, do you still have any memories of that night? What about your guests? According to your lord, I will come to the Jiaofang Division in two days to check the situation of each guest."

Tang Hong turned around, she lightly covered her heart with one hand, betraying her heart.

Wan Yan strikes while the iron is hot: "By the way, Master Su said that the murderer will definitely be caught. The emperor knows that something happened to the Jiaofang Secretary, so he should arrange us again. It's hard to say whether the Jiaofang Secretary in Tongshan Prefecture will close."

Wan Yan sighed, looking sad.

"My sister is right. We are duckweeds. No one can escape the fate of being sold or exiled. I don't dare to think, where will we go if we continue to be exiled? Maybe I will die on the way."

Thinking of her father, Wan Yan revealed her true feelings, her eyes were clouded with mist, Tang Hong turned her back to Xue Wanyan, and her body kept trembling.

There are four beds in the room, and Xue Wanyan is standing by one bed near the door.

The purple fringed bed curtain lifted the bottom edge with the wind, and a scent of acacia powder wafted from the sachet hanging by the bed.

Xue Wanyan was secretly happy.

A little closer, there is still a faint smell of sand mixed with blood.

It turns out that Tang Hong really has a clue here!
"Look at how happy you are living with your sisters. I'm different. I'm so boring by myself." As she spoke, Wan Yan pretended not to reach out and touched the sachet.

But before Wan Yan could see the embroidered characters on the corner of the pouch, Tang Hong snatched it away and roared angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you touching other people's things casually?"

Wan Yan pretended to be a little white rabbit: "Our sisters are very affectionate, this sachet is not a precious thing, I just think the embroidery is exquisite, and I want to take a closer look, why is my sister angry!"

Tang Hong clutched the sachet tightly, the more she looked at Wan Yan's beautiful and innocent face, the angrier she became.

"Forget it, you have nothing to do. I'm tired and want to rest."

"it is good!"

Wan Yan turned around, and suddenly remembered some feelings and said: "By the way, Sister Tanghong, I have to tell you, I heard Master Su said that the murderer came in and out through the window that day, holding a sharp knife. Why don't you say that our Jiaofang Secretary didn't do it?" People saw it!"

"Also, for the convenience of opening the window, the murderer must have chosen to stay overnight in the downstairs room of the accident room. When I heard it, wasn't that my sister's room? I hurriedly explained to Mr. Su, how could my sister know the murderer?"

"Yeah!" Tang Hong sneered, "Thinking too much!"

Xue Wanyan closed the door and smiled.

At the corner of Tang Hong's bed, she saw a hairpin for men, stuffed it into the bedding, only the corner of the hairpin was exposed...
