Chapter 93 The Death of Auntie
Chu Qing glanced at Steward Xiao, didn't speak, just waited like that, time passed by, the legs of those 20 people started to feel a little numb while standing, but they didn't dare to move, but they stood, Chu Sitting lightly, although they are divided into two rows, the ones behind and the ones in front are staggered, so Chu Qing can clearly see the expressions of these 20 people.Chu Qing played psychological tactics with a few people again. If it was indeed the eighteen aunts who did it, and they had no proof of their alibi, then they could only be trusted if they were done by someone close to them.Even if not, after following Madam for a long time, I know some things that others don't know.

When it was almost time, Chu Qing looked at the calm Seventh Aunt, then at the two maids of Seventeenth Aunt, and raised the corners of her mouth: "Okay, except for Ruizhu and Seventeenth Aunt's two maids, Everyone else, go outside and wait."

As soon as Chu Qing's words fell, the two quickly raised their heads, their eyes widened, a flash of fear flashed in their eyes, their bodies began to shake, and before they finished walking, they knelt down: "My lord, please forgive me, we will definitely Didn't kill the young master, neither did our wife, our wife is dead, it can't be the murderer! It's impossible for us..."

Chu Qing was not in a hurry, and waited for them to finish crying before asking Butler Xiao to hand them the handkerchief: "Take a rest first." Then he looked directly at Na Ruizhu: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Ruizhu said: "Your servant has nothing to say."

Chu smiled lightly and said, "Really? Aunt Qi died for no apparent reason half a year ago. Are you sure you have nothing to say to me? This is the last chance. If you do, I will investigate. Believe why I came here You also know that this is the only chance to prove your wife's innocence." Her eyes swept over the two maidservants behind her, and the corners of her mouth curled into a half-smile.

Ruizhu froze, knelt on the ground with her head lowered, but slowly clenched her hands on her knees, Chu Qing was not in a hurry: "Of course, if you don't want to say it, you can It doesn't matter, if you have evidence of your alibi, everyone in Zhuangzi at that time can prove that you have never been out of Zhuangzi in the past six months. I will give you a moment of incense, and you can say it when you think it through, otherwise, then you Go back to Zhuangzi." Chu Qing glanced at Butler Xiao, who immediately went to light incense.

As the incense ash fell little by little, Ruizhu's face became paler and paler, but the two maidservants who were also kneeling behind her trembled violently, and their faces were even whiter than Ruizhu's.Chu Qing rested her chin with one hand, she didn't seem to care, but she seduced the two maidservants and said, "What's your name?"

Those two people looked at each other, and they both saw anxiety from the bottom of each other's eyes, trembling their throats, whispered: "My servant's name is Lianxiang."

"Slaves fall."

Chu Qing nodded seriously and said, "Yes, it's a good name."

The two thanked each other softly.

Chu Qing continued to ask: "Then tell me, how did Aunt Qi die?"

The bodies of the two of them shook suddenly, and they muttered, their expressions even more panicked.

Chu Qing asked strangely: "Is it hard to say? Lianxiang, you tell me. If you can't say it well, I have reason to suspect that you are concealing the truth. If the case is delayed, the old lady..." Chu Qingming is gentle The voice made the two of them change their faces in horror. The old lady cared so much about the eldest son. If the old lady knew that they had delayed the investigation, she might sell them out at least, or at worst she would be killed.They don't want to die yet.

Urged by Zhui'er, Lianxiang began to speak with a pale face, but she looked at Ruizhu while she was talking: "Qi, Qi Yiniang's death is not very, not very decent. She was found out for stealing a man." After that, I was... killed by the Eldest Young Master!"

Ruizhu couldn't bear it any longer, turned her head abruptly, and reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense! You are very clear! It was the seventeenth aunt who framed my aunt! Your aunt deserves her death! This is what you deserve! You deserve it! "Rui Zhu's eyes were red, and she wished she could rush over and strangle Lian Xiang to death. As she spoke, she burst into tears, snot and tears, very embarrassed, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom Just because the eldest young master felt sorry for my aunt at that time, he resorted to such a dirty trick. Our wife was still pregnant with a child, and she was still pregnant with a child... One dead body, two lives, and being scolded so much after death, how do you guys do it? Can you be so cruel? How can you..."

Their faces were pale, and their necks were shrunk: "Obviously it's...it's Aunt Qi..." It's just that the two of them met Chu Qingyou's cold eyes, but they couldn't say anything.

Chu Qing walked up to Ruizhu, helped her up, and handed her a handkerchief: "Wipe your face." After Ruizhu's mood calmed down, she continued: "Do you want to tell me now?" ?”

Ruizhu knelt down in front of Chu Qing with a "plop", and kowtowed to Chu Qing a few times: "Please avenge my wife, sir!" She pointed at Lianxiang and the two of them, "It's them, and they have vicious hearts. The seventeenth aunt, killed my wife! At that time, the lady had just found out that she was pregnant, so she went to invite the doctor. When she was leaving, the maidservant happened to meet this lotus, because the lady had never been with the seventeenth aunt. Deal with it, because the two of them are considered the most favored in the mansion. My wife is kind-hearted and doesn't want to argue with the Seventeenth Aunt, but the slave girl was suffocating, so she couldn't help stabbing Lianxiang a few words, and made the wife I told this Lianxiang about her body... but the servant did not expect it! I did not expect it! They are so vicious. The young master hadn't come back that day, and suddenly a foreigner broke in. The wife was still lying on the bed at that time. Comfortable, we couldn't stop him at all, the man began to cry about how much he loved my wife, and when we were panicking, Aunt Seventeen brought the young lady over, the young lady is also soft, Seventeen My aunt immediately concluded that it was my wife who stole the man, and tied us up, and my wife tied us up. When the young master came back, the Han paper disappeared for some reason. Without witnesses, my wife was furious. The beating started, but my wife refused to admit it, so it was so forceful... I was beaten to death... the child in my stomach was not saved... and then I was thrown in a mass grave... There is not even a body collector... Slaves At that time, she was beaten to the point of being unable to get up, and by the time she could move, the madam's bones would have been gnawed by wild dogs to the point where only the bones remained, slave... slave, I'm sorry madam... if it wasn't for the slave's talkativeness..."

But she never imagined that Seventeenth Aunt could be so cruel, that would be two lives!Two!

With a heavy face, Chu Qing supported Ruizhu, let her sit there first, and walked up to Lianxiang and Lianxiang who were trembling all over, "Is what she said true?"

Lianxiang and the two were terrified, and they immediately wanted to deny it, but were interrupted by Chu Qing: "You guys should think clearly, this is the last chance, the seventeenth aunt is dead. I suspect that it was the death of the seventh aunt. It is related, if you dare to hide it again, then the murderer will not be found, and you two are accomplices, then even if the old lady does not kill you evil slaves, the murderer will definitely not let you survive tonight." Chu Qing said Those who frightened them, but the two of them believed it, especially the death of the Seventeenth Aunt was even more bizarre. The two of them were so frightened that they trembled like chaff, and began to cry: "My lord, please forgive me, we are also obedient!" Act! It was the Seventeenth Aunt who said that nothing would happen... She said she just wanted to kill the child, but she didn't expect the Seventh Aunt to die like that... The slaves just obeyed the master's order! They really don't care about us thing..."

Chu Qing's face was ashen. Although she knew that Gaomen's mansion was full of secrets, she still couldn't accept it when she heard it with her own ears. She said coldly, "Who is that man?"

Lianxiang wiped away her tears: "Yes, it's my wife's cousin... and then he hid outside and dared not come back."

Chu Qing said: "Do you know the specific address?"

Lian Xiang nodded: "I know, Madam has been raising him for the past six months..."

Chu Qing looked at Steward Xiao: "Butler Xiao should know what to do, right?"

Housekeeper Xiao's face was very calm, obviously he had doubts about Qi Yiniang's matter for a long time, but he was already dead, and the big things above were reduced, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Now that Chu Qing had already solved the matter, people I found it, and I have the evidence, so he responded, "I'll go to Mr. Zhen from the Ministry of Punishment, and handle it impartially, and rectify Qi Yiniang's name."

Chu Qing agreed, but the doubts in her heart deepened. Although she told Lianxiang that the murderer came for Aunt Qi, this was only her speculation.She just deduced from what happened that day, after all, Xiao Haocheng and Seventeenth Aunt almost died together, so this incident was too coincidental with what happened to Seventh Aunt back then, it had to be suspected.But who is it that avenged Seventh Aunt?Half a year ago, as far as she knew, all the maids in Seventh Aunt's house were in the Zhuangzi, but none of them had left the Zhuangzi in the past six months.

Chu Qing asked people to take Lianxiang and Zhui'er down, and when there were only Chu Qing and Ruizhu in the lobby, Chu Qing said calmly: "Ruizhu, let me ask you, is there any other children at Aunt Qi's house?" who?"

Ruizhu said: "Madam's family still has an old lady and an elder brother. It's just that something happened half a year ago. They severed ties with Madam, and they even refused to save Madam's bones..." Ruizhu hated it. If it wasn't for the accident of Madam's elder brother, why did Madam be pushed into such a pit of fire?After Madam became Seventh Concubine, how many ways did she find for her elder brother?But once something happened to Madam, they gave up on Madam directly, even refused to give her a coffin...Rui Zhu said angrily: "Don't worry, my lord, they are wolf-hearted and will never avenge Madam! Back then Madam was beaten to death Afterwards, they were thrown in a mass grave. Some people in the house couldn't bear it, and secretly reported the news, but who knew...they refused to come at all, saying that the water was thrown by their married daughter, and they were not human... just look at it bluntly Seeing my wife's bones rotten like that... being bitten by wild dogs..." Rui Zhu cried so miserably that she couldn't make a sound, that kind of grief was too strong, making Chu Qing's eyebrows bulge and tighten.
