I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 19
"Grandma Mingjian." Jia Lian wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but his body was so weak that he could not make such a large movement. He could only wipe his nose and tears with his sleeves, and sobbed: "I, I was fascinated by that slave. Eye, that’s why I did such a wrong thing. But I really didn’t kill anyone. Me, I didn’t kill anyone!”

Wang Xifeng suddenly wailed and knelt down at Mother Jia's feet: "Old lady Mingjian! The second master has always been timid. Even if he was given ten more courages, he would never dare to do such a thing." He swung his arms again. He hit Jia Lian with his head and face: "You bastard, let's see how I deal with you when I get back!" After saying that, he winked at Jia Lian. There were clearly no tears in his eyes, only anger and resentment.

By this time, Jia Lian's mind had mostly recovered, and his mind was becoming more and more bright.

The dead Huo Xiang is just a servant, he is the master.Moreover, he really didn’t commit the murder, so he quickly excused himself: "It was Meiren! Meiren did this! I just asked her to find a way to tell Huo Xiang to stop pestering me and become my aunt. It's just casual talk, don't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, that little bitch killed someone with his hooves and moved it here... Ah, she also asked me to tell my wife that Huoxiang has returned home, so that she can allocate time to move the body out. .”

Mrs.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng understood very well, and her expression became much lighter when facing Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's expression paused slightly: "She, she has always been on good terms with me. Of course, it's all in private." He couldn't help but defend: "That little bitchy hoof can't stand loneliness, and Baoyu is young, so she naturally... Nature came to find me.”

At this moment, Wang Xifeng wanted to slap him in the face, but there were too many people to do it, so she turned her head away from him with a cold face and raised her hand to let Ping'er help her up.

Charming is not here now.Mrs. Wang sent people from Zhou Rui's family to Rongguo Mansion to look for her.

But whether Meiren is the murderer or not, there is no definite evidence yet.If someone excuses herself after being called, she won't be able to catch her for a while.If she cannot be caught, it will be difficult to explain the murder case to so many people.

Jia Lian shivered and couldn't utter a word for a while.

Jia He glanced at him and thought to himself that he didn't expect it to be an embroidered pillow, looking at the flowers. It was so useless.So he grabbed Jia Mu's clothes and asked, "I wonder how Huo Xiang died? Brother Lian said he was killed by sister Meiren. I wonder how he was killed?"

Mrs. Xing was panicking, fearing that Mrs. Jia would offend Sister Hei, so she hurriedly and reluctantly scolded her: "How can your child ask such a thing?"

Jia He originally wanted to lead them to find the needle on the back of the deceased's neck. When he saw this, he took out the fan cover hidden in his arms and handed it to Jia's mother: "Grandma, I saw it from Sister Meiren earlier. As soon as she took this thing in her hand, she became very angry. Later, Sister Xiren and Sister Meiren started to quarrel, and even the second brother Lian wanted to take this thing away. I thought this was weird, and I let them do whatever they wanted. , I carried it without letting go. Grandma, am I very powerful?"

He looked like he was begging for praise innocently, as if those words just came out of his mouth just because he had been involved with Meiren before.

Mother Jia's expression suddenly became serious: "What's going on?"

Xi Renben followed behind, and suddenly remembered what happened before, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Ancestor, I beg you to make the decision! This thing, this thing may prove that Huo Xiang was the last one Meiren saw!"

She had been regretting that she shouldn't have gone to Meiren's house, and couldn't get away after seeing the acquaintance between Jia Lian and Meiren. She was secretly wondering how to get rid of this.Now that there is Huo Xiang's case, she happens to be a fair person, otherwise it would be really disgraceful to both parties.

Meiren Zuo is just a servant.It was really cost-effective for her to testify like this and help Erye Lian clear his name.

After thinking about it, Xiren asked when he had seen Huo Xiang embroidering this thing before. If Huo Xiang really returned home early, he should not be able to embroider to this extent.I think I stayed up late to embroider it and wanted to give it to someone, but before I could give it away, I was killed by the murderer.Then the murderer was afraid that the bloody fan cover would leak, so he hid it from outsiders.

Then here comes the problem.How did the murderer kill Huo Xiang?Everyone looked at each other in confusion.Jia Lian suddenly covered his ears and screamed: "The bugs are here! The bugs are here again!"

Everyone was startled and quickly looked around, but did not see the overwhelming pile of insects before.But Jia Lian couldn't stop shouting, so he patrolled everywhere.As a result, densely packed insects were found on the back of Huoxiang's neck.

Those bugs were as big as sesame seeds and covered the back of her neck, which was really scary.Suddenly being discovered, they seemed to be aware of it, and in the blink of an eye they scattered around and disappeared completely.

When they left, the end of an embroidery needle suddenly appeared on the back of the neck that had been covered by them.

Several people surrounded the past.

Mother Jia couldn't see clearly and vaguely saw the light reflected from the end of the needle.The others tacitly gave a little space and gathered around the head of the corpse to take a closer look.

Mrs. Wang asked: "Did this thing stab people to death?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Jia Lian felt relieved and came over: "But this needle went in completely before and didn't come out, but now it has come out."

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she stretched out her hand to twist his arm: "Will you die if you don't say a few words?"

Jia Lian gasped in pain and hurriedly closed her mouth.

Mrs. Xing looked closely at Huoxiang who looked as pale as when she was alive. She wiped her tears and said, "I am usually a considerate and understanding person. Who would have expected that something like this happened today."

Someone suggested taking the needle out.

"It can't be done." Mrs. Wang said, "Look at the blood on the fan cover, which shows that it's quite deep inside. What if something bad comes out again after taking it out."

Everyone thought of the weird omnipresent insect, and all of them nodded in agreement with pale faces: "Then I won't take it out." They were just waiting for the murderer to explain the matter clearly when he came.

I don’t know how much time passed, but it always felt like three springs and autumns. Zhou Rui’s family brought two wives and Meiren over.

The charming woman struggled and refused to come closer, trembling with her mouth and screaming loudly that she never wanted to enter this yard again.Thanks to the strong strength of the two women, they dragged her to the front of the crowd.

Zhou Rui's wife winked, and the two mothers-in-law dragged her into the house and pushed her directly to the ground. For fear of her escaping, they each lifted a leg and pressed it on her back.
