Chapter 116
"This is an official's family matter. I am worried about it, and I am afraid." Zhou Bohai was sweating profusely, and his expression was surprisingly pale as if he had been frightened.
Jin Xi looked at Zhou Bohai suspiciously. An idle marquis with no official position casually asked a woman who had been related to him. Was he so frightened?Could it be that her biological mother has some ulterior secrets?
"How's the test going? Report to Master Hou and Master Zhou." Guo Tai also saw Zhou Bohai's strangeness, coughed without any trace, turned his face to ask the staff beside him, and interrupted the conversation between Su Che and Zhou Bohai intentionally or unintentionally. dialogue.
Chuzuo looked at Su Che and then at Guo Tai, with a troubled expression on his face, "Master Hou won't allow an autopsy. From the perspective of a villain, the servant girl died of blood collapse due to external force causing a tire slip."
"This old slave saw with his own eyes that it was Miss Zhou who beat Lily's lower abdomen so badly that Lily fell to the ground and died!" Before Chu Zuo could finish his sentence, the woman who had been clamoring earlier yelled.
Because of her words, everyone's eyes fell on Jin Xi, and the surrounding air seemed to be blocked by many eyes, and they were getting farther and farther away from her.In the silence, Jin Xi felt like a fish that was thrown to the shore and was about to suffocate.
There was a buzzing chaos in my mind, countless thoughts flashed by, but I couldn't grasp any of them.It was the same phrase that Mr. Yun Zong once said, "no movement is worse than stillness". Guo Tai and Zhou Bohai came by such a coincidence, and she couldn't believe that they had no plans behind the scenes.Instead of letting her jump out to argue about right and wrong, it's better to see what the two of them are planning.
The chaotic thoughts finally returned to reason, Jin Xi opened his mouth to take a few breaths, only to realize that his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.Although she was in danger many times in the capital, she never felt that death was so close to her.I thought that leaving the capital would also avoid troubles, but who knows that in just a few months after arriving in Anyang, the God of death has passed by several times.If she runs out of luck, will she die without a place to bury her?
Jin Xi quietly waited for Su Che to make trouble, but Su Che just quietly looked at the master, as if waiting for his next words, without even looking at the woman.He was horrified by the look at that Tsukuru, and he didn't know which sentence he said was wrong.After muttering for a long while, I finally squeezed out a sentence, "But..."
"But what?" As a general, Guo Tai's patience is obviously not his strong point compared with an idle prince. When he said this, Jin Xi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.At this moment, she completely understood that such a large-scale effort to lure her into the Hou's mansion and get involved in Baihe's murder was obviously not just to deal with her.She is just an introduction, arranged by an invisible hand, causing several factions to fight, not even a pawn.
No matter which side has the upper hand, as long as the black hand behind the scenes is not dead, she will not have to worry about her life.But who is this black hand?He can actually control the situation in the world!In which life was she so unlucky that she became a prop for this hand?
But that's all for later. At this time, she is more concerned about what these people are going to do.
"But..." Chuzuo was covered in cold sweat, kneeling beside Lily's corpse in spite of the blood stains all over the floor, shivering into a ball and unable to say a word.Guo Tai's gray eyebrows were huddled into a big pimple, and he shouted loudly: "What can't you say hesitantly?"
"Captain, calm down!" Chu Zuo almost died of fright when he rolled his eyes.He wasn't afraid of the death test, but he didn't even dare fart when facing the murderous Guo Tai.Seeing this, the medical officer in the naval yamen hurriedly stacked the medicine box and bowed to answer.
Guo Tai was the highest commander of the Yamen of the Liangjiang Navy, and his official title was Dudu in the late emperor's time, and he was under the control of the Ministry of War.After Daozong ascended the throne, he was renamed Liangjiang Jiedushi and was assigned to the household department.The dignified naval division has become a floating yamen that arrests smuggled salt and restrains the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang. Although the oil and water are thicker than when he was a soldier, Guo Tai prefers to be called the governor.
Hearing this, Huo breathed out for two minutes, and said in a cold voice: "Say something quickly!"
The medical officer cleared his throat, and took a step back for himself, "My medical skills are shallow, if there is any inappropriateness, please invite the two adults, Wang Ye Haihan." I wanted to say a few more words, but when I saw Guo Tai's beard grow like an upward Qiao, knowing that the old man's patience is at its limit, quickly turned to the topic, "This servant girl is four months pregnant. On the surface, she did cause a tire slip due to external force, causing a blood collapse and died. But the lower official said Another discovery..."
"Let's get to the point!" Guo Tai almost ran away, these medical officers are just talkative, every time they have to talk a lot and they still can't get to the point.
The medical officer was shocked, "She has been poisoned by shepherd's purse!"
"What?" Everyone felt that the medical officer drank too much, or he just didn't wake up.Eating shepherd's purse can kill people. Is there such a person who opens his eyes and talks nonsense?If there are shepherd's purses all over the mountains and plains, the poor will dig them up for food.If shepherd's purse could eat the dead, would there be any living people in Anyang City?
The medical officer kept it a secret on purpose, and when everyone was chatting with each other, he smiled triumphantly: "Shepherd's purse is not poisonous to ordinary people, but it is a poisonous weed to pregnant women. A plate of shepherd's purse dumplings can make strong A woman with a slippery tire..."
"Ah?" The little girl who brought Jinxi into the mansion before suddenly screamed, and immediately covered her mouth with her hands.As if he had seen a ghost, he disappeared into the crowd.At this time, the mothers-in-law and maidservants surrounding her also exclaimed, and no one paid attention to her.But her every move fell into Jin Xi's eyes.
Because she was about the same height as her, Jin Xi could clearly see that the expression in her eyes was not fear but anger, this little difference was enough to show that she knew something.
The medical officer hadn't finished speaking, "Although shepherd's purse can slip tires, it can stop the blood flow in a short time and there is another thing that works." He pointed to the sachet hanging on Lily's waist, "There are a lot of blood in it. Musk and safflower, that's what caused the bloodbath."
"Exactly!" Chu Zuo, who was half-dead in fright, dared to speak, "The musk here is the finest jade musk deer, the villain sees... it seems... it is used for medicine in the palace!"
"You mean this matter has something to do with the palace?" Su Che said lightly, but he was so frightened that he kowtowed, "Damn the villain, I didn't understand what I said. The villain said This thing is a top-grade jade musk deer. Although the jade musk deer is a tribute, it is not unavailable among the people. It is rewarded in the palace..."
Suche smiled slightly, "Then what do you mean, maybe the people in the Houfu intentionally killed this girl and then planted it on the magistrate's daughter? Gouzi just came back from the capital, and it happened that the empress gave him a box of jade musk deer and asked him to take it back." Dispensing medicine to Lao Fengjun. It seems that he is very suspicious!"
"The villain has no such intentions! Absolutely no such intentions!" Su Che was frightened out of his wits, and the empress Su Che was referring to was his eldest daughter Su Xiao, the noble concubine of Emperor Daozong. Zong's favorite, her status in the harem was second only to Concubine Yun, the biological mother of the third prince and nine princesses.He was full of guts, and he didn't dare to say that Su Heping's death had something to do with Lily.
The pestle made a bow and slapped his own mouth, wishing to beat himself into a pig's head to relieve Anyanghou's hatred.Suche didn't seem to notice his actions, and only looked at Guo Tai with a slight smile, "What does the governor think about this? Do you want me to call the dog here, and the governor interrogates him face to face?"
"I don't care about the gossip and jealousy in your house!" Guo Tai's face froze slightly, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with the magistrate's daughter, then I will take this girl away. Entrusted this girl to me, I have to return everything to him! If you can't get angry and want to punish this girl, wait for that old drunkard Yun Zong to come back and ask for someone!"
As he said that, he grabbed Jin Xi and left without giving Su Che a chance to stop him.Jin Xi couldn't keep up with his pace, his arm hurt from being pulled, and trot followed Guo Tai out of the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
Guo Tai threw her into the car like he was throwing a package, gritted his teeth and said, "Until the old drunkard comes back, you should honestly stay at Zhou's house and not go anywhere. If you let me know that you are dishonest, I will kill you." It's useless to hear that it's useless to be locked up in the prison of the navy's yamen?"
Jin Xi hurriedly nodded obediently, can I not nod?Anyang Hou's mind was like a sieve, and a few joking words cleared Su Heping away, and Zhou Bohai, as the magistrate, didn't even have the room to question him.And the old man in front of him looked like a firecracker, and he was not a vegetarian. Anyang Hou had nothing to say after a few words, which showed that these people were not easy to provoke.
Competing with them is really a birthday guy drinking arsenic and getting tired of working!
As soon as Guo Tai and his party left the waiting mansion, Su Che ordered Qian Zhong, "Choose a high-quality coffin and bury her!"
How can a lowly maid who crawls on a bed deserve a good coffin?Qian Zhong didn't take it seriously in his heart, but he kept responding in his mouth. He was about to do something when Su Che said coldly: "Call the prince to the study!"
Knowing that Su Che was looking for him, Su He was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his chest.The first thing to do was to send someone to report to the old lady, and after a while, she went to see Suche in fear.As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the study, Su Che picked up the chair in front of him and slammed it at him.
"Father, have mercy! I don't dare anymore!" Su Heping tilted his head, and the black lacquered nanmu chair flew past his ears with the sound of the wind, and landed on the blue brick floor and broke into pieces.
Su Che's face turned blue, and he pointed at him and cursed, "There's another time? Do you know how much trouble you caused? Do you know that the entire Su family was almost killed?"
"Father calm down, the child also wants to share the burden for father..." Su Heping climbed a few steps forward, the sophistry words fell into Su Che's ears, it was like adding fuel to the flames, and immediately flew into a rage, grabbed the iron sandalwood ruler on the desk and covered his head and face He slapped Su Heping fiercely, "How dare you talk nonsense even now, instead of making you tired and beheaded all over the house, why don't I personally kill you, this evil obstacle."
"If you want to cut off the incense of the Su family, you must kill me first!" Shi Li rushed in stumbled, and hugged Su Heping into his arms regardless. "Isn't it just letting the slaves crawl on the bed and leave seeds, what a big deal?"
"What's the big deal?" Su Che laughed angrily, "I raised all the money for my mother after months of raising money, and this villain actually gave me all the money in Xie's Cailou. This is the second thing, he shouldn't provoke it The Yun family, for a moment of pride, he exposed Yun Fengnian's life experience and ruined the fortune of the Yun family, shouldn't he fight? Do you really think that I plant flowers and trees all day long and ignore everything?"
