The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 49 We meet again
Yinzhu's brother and sister-in-law hadn't contacted her for a long time. After hearing Yuanying's explanation of their visit, they refused at first, and they didn't want to make a special trip to the government.

But when Yuanying said that the belongings that Yinzhu carried with him also disappeared, they immediately ran to beat the drums to complain.

"Master Qingtian, you have to do it for the grassroots." Brother Chen and sister-in-law Chen cried together at the gate of the government house, "Caomin's younger sister works in Feng Guogong's mansion, she said yesterday that she has redeemed herself, and she wants to go home to have dinner together at night .”

"But we waited and waited, but we couldn't find anyone. We searched again in the city this morning, but we couldn't find anyone. Maybe something happened to her."

As they said that, they wept even more mournfully, wiping their noses and tears with their sleeves, but in fact, they wished that something bad happened to Yinzhu, so that the belongings that Yinzhu carried with him would be theirs.

Jing Zhaoyin has been very busy recently, when he received a report, when he heard that it was related to Feng Guogong's mansion, he immediately sent someone to drive the two people at the door away.

But the two were still unyielding, so Jing Zhaoyin had to hand over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Xia Haiyan called the two of them in and recorded their statements.

"It's Feng Guogong's mansion again?" After listening to the description of the two, his face turned cold, and he immediately asked people to search in and out of the city first. .

It is very common for big families to kill maids, but Brother Chen and Sister Chen said that since Yinzhu has redeemed her body, she is a commoner who needs to be protected.

Mrs. Feng is in the nunnery, kneeling on the futon, knocking on the wooden fish, praying devoutly for the mansion.

However, the concierge hurriedly opened the bright yellow prayer flags and ran over, "Lady, the Ministry of Justice is here."

The wooden clapper in Mrs. Feng's hand immediately fell to the ground, her brows frowned, why did things happen so frequently.

"Follow me to the door." She got up and adjusted her clothes, and walked over in small steps. On the way, she said to the green bamboo beside her: "Go and invite the eldest lady over."

After these days, she discovered that this granddaughter had ideas.

After Feng Xihe heard that Xia Haiyan was coming, he tidied up in a hurry and walked towards the gate.

Halfway on the way, a servant girl with a brass basin in her hand came towards her with her head down.The little maid buried her head too low, she didn't seem to notice her coming, and she bumped into her with a basin.

By the time she looked up and saw Feng Xihe, it was already too late.

"Miss, Miss. This servant didn't do it on purpose." The servant girl wiped Feng Xi and her wet clothes with her sleeve in embarrassment.

There was suspicion in Feng Xihe's eyes, and then, seeing the rush of the green bamboo, he said lightly: "You go down first."

The little maid then picked up the water basin from the ground and walked away at a faster speed.Feng Xihe turned his head and glanced at the person, and went straight there before he had time to change his clothes.

"Old Madam Feng, I'm sorry to bother you. I came to your mansion to seek evidence because I received a report from someone saying that my younger sister, who was working in your mansion and redeemed her free life, had disappeared." Xia Haiyan looked at Madam Feng who came. , said politely: "If there is something offending, please also ask Mrs. Feng to be Haihan."

Then, he saw Feng Xihe later, with a layer of frost and snow on the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Miss Feng, we meet again." It was just to say hello, but his voice seemed to come through the cold winter, and it was extremely cold.He vaguely felt that this incident might have something to do with this girl again.

"I hope that Miss Feng will not be offended."

Feng Xihe replied very politely: "Your Majesty Xia can just do business, so you don't have to have any scruples. If there is any need, my grandmother and I will cooperate well."

"Then it's no problem." Xia Haiyan's eyes rolled, and he waved his hand immediately, ordering his arresters to search everywhere in the Duke's Mansion.

While waiting for the search results, Feng Ruolan and Feng Zhong also came over quietly, praying in their hearts not to be noticed by Xia Haiyan.

"Report, sir, there is no one in the west." After a while, the policemen who went to search the west came back.

"My lord, there are none in the east."

"My lord, there is no one in the south."

Other arrests came back one after another.

Feng Ruolan and Feng Zhong took a few breaths, planning to wait for the arresters to come back before going to have a look at the handling of Yinzhu's corpse.

"Aunt, Steward Feng, where are you going?" Feng Xihe stopped them with a smile, "It is said that the time Yinzhu disappeared was last night. Miss Ben remembers that at that time, you also seemed to be secretly asking for money. Take a sack and two bundles out of the house."

"Thinking about it now, Miss Ben, I feel that you two are very suspicious. Maybe the sack contained no property at all, but Yin Zhu's corpse."

"Xihe, why do you miss Auntie so much? You must know that Auntie doesn't even dare to kill a chicken." Feng Ruolan's palms were sweating, and she couldn't look directly at Feng Xihe.

If Feng Xihe realized something, "That's good, Xihe also thinks so. Xihe still remembers that when you eat chicken, auntie, you don't spit out bones."

Feng Ruolan was about to open her mouth to ask what she meant, but she heard a scream from the north.

"Follow me." Xia Haiyan's eyes turned cold, and then she lifted her robe and went forward.

Feng Xihe and Feng Ruolan followed behind him and also rushed over.

At this time, by an ancient well in the north, a maid was shrinking her head and overturned the water in a copper basin.

Feng Xihe looked carefully, and he could probably recognize that this was the maid who accidentally bumped into her just now.

Beside her, someone had already lifted up a swollen corpse soaked in water, it was the missing Yinzhu.

"My poor little sister! Why did you encounter such misfortune before you were married!" Brother Chen and Sister Chen threw themselves on the corpse and wept bitterly, but in fact, their hearts were filled with joy.

They didn't forget to grope around Yin Zhu to see if there was anything valuable.

However, when their hands passed over her heart, they felt a sharp little hairpin.

"What is this?" Brother Chen asked Sister Chen, and Sister Chen shook her head, also expressing that she didn't know.

And Feng Xihe and Feng Ruolan looked over when they heard the sound, their eyes showed astonishment.

Xia Haiyan squatted down, separated with a handkerchief, took out the hairpin from Yinzhu's heart, carefully observed the blood stains on it, and asked, "Who does this hairpin belong to?"

Mrs. Feng took a closer look and almost stumbled. After Qian Yun saw it clearly, she covered her mouth and looked carefully at Feng Xihe.

Luckily, Feng Ruolan took a deep breath, and then turned her head to look at Feng Xihe.

For a long time, no one spoke.After a while, Yun Changyi and Yun Xiaomei walked slowly. After seeing the hairpin, Yun Changyi looked at Feng Xihe with heartbroken eyes.

From their reactions, Xia Haiyan could basically tell who the hairpin belonged to.

"Miss Feng, what can I say?"

Feng Xihe glanced at Yun Changyi, and he knew it already.

"This hairpin is mine, Miss Ben has nothing to say." She didn't refute, but her face was displeased.

Brother Chen and Sister Chen couldn't help being slightly stunned, and they both looked at each other, both very confused.They didn't know who the girl who was looking for them was, they only knew that it had something to do with Feng's residence, why did Feng's residence ask them to seek justice and find out their eldest lady?

Xia Haiyan's sharp eyes swept across her face, and said coldly: "Since Miss Feng has admitted it, then I will take you to the prison for trial, you shouldn't object, right?"

Feng Xihe took a deep breath, and raised a pair of clear eyes, "Ms. Ben just admits that the hairpin is mine, and doesn't admit that I killed someone."

"Oh?" Xia Haiyan raised her eyebrows, and then asked, "Then how do you prove Miss Feng? I have inquired about it before. She used to be your maid, and she had a feud with you, and you have absolutely the same. This motive."

Feng Xihe replied calmly: "Master Xia, please allow me to express a few doubts."

"Last night, I personally gave Yinzhu the deed of sale. How could I kill her after I gave her the deed of sale. Isn't this against me?"

"It's true that Yinzhu betrayed me before, and I hate her very much, but if I really want to kill her, wouldn't it be easier to just kill her?"

Qian Yun also leaned forward and said loudly: "That's right, I was there when my young lady sold Yinzhu's life deed last night. That lowly maid betrayed young lady many times, and young lady kindly gave her a lot of property, Let me take her out of the house."

After Xia Haiyan listened, he said calmly: "So, the deed of sale should be put together with the property, right?"

Feng Xihe thought for a while, then said: "If you can't find it from Yinzhu, then maybe it is."

After all, Xia Haiyan asked another maid in Feng's residence to search Yinzhu's body to see if there was a contract of sale, but in the end, she didn't find it.

Xia Haiyan turned to Feng Xihe and said, "Miss Feng, can I send someone to search all over your house for the property and the contract of sale you mentioned, is it okay? Only then can you prove that what you said is true."

Feng Xihe naturally agreed, "Xihe just said that he is willing to cooperate with Master Xia."

Xia Haiyan asked people to continue searching, and Feng Ruolan's heart started beating non-stop. She didn't know that Yinzhu had already taken the deed of sale. Last night, she was afraid that Feng Xihe would come to her again, so she didn't even have time to check The burden, right next to a banyan tree, dug a hole and buried it first.

She was worried that Xia Haiyan would find the burden, and subconsciously wanted to wipe off the cold sweat with a handkerchief, but in the blink of an eye, she received a slap from Yun Changyi.

Yun Changyi silently warned her, I finally cleaned up the mess for you, don't mess it up again.So, she had no choice but to pretend to be calm, not to let Xia Haiyan see the flaws in her expression like Yun Qianhan did last time.

Xia Haiyan didn't pay attention to Feng Ruolan's expression. He then asked Feng Xihe: "Just now, Miss Feng said that there are several suspicious points. You only mentioned one point. Are there other points?"

"Master Xia, please take a look." Feng Xihe took a few steps back, spread his arms, and turned around a few times, so that Xia Haiyan could clearly see the water stains on his clothes.

She pointed to the little maid who was sitting on the ground blankly, and said slowly: "Master Xia, the hairpin on Yinzhu's heart was carried by me today."

"Just now, I was on the way to the gate, and this little maid bumped into me. Now, she came to draw water again, and found Yinzhu's body in the well. There happened to be that hairpin on the body. Do you think, Could it be such a coincidence?"
