Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 96 Is there anything shameful?
The next day, when Lu Xinyan went to the Fushouyuan, she saw Jiang's swollen eyes and a withered appearance in plain clothes.

It stands to reason that Feng's health is not good at all, and it is not appropriate for Jiang to appear in front of her dressed like this, but Jiang Huai can be regarded as Feng's growing up, knowing that he is like a son-in-law in Jiang's heart, so he Without saying much, he said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, tidy up and take Yuer Zhuzhuyuer with you."

Originally, Gong Rou should be together, the Jiang family is her aunt, and the Jiang family is her maternal grandfather's family, so she also called Jiang Huai uncle.

But this is just etiquette. When a relative who is not related by blood passes away, no matter how sad you are, there is a limit.

Feng Shi was afraid that Gong Rou would cry insincerely and offend the sad Jiang Shi, who would lose control and insult and punish her.

As for Lu Xinyan, she was always the wife of the prince, so she had to go.

Lu Xinyan had already made preparations to go there. She was wearing a very light tea-white skirt early in the morning, and she didn't wear any accessories on her body, except for a simple pearl hairpin.

The people who followed her this time were Qingtong and Bai Zhi.

Taking Bai Zhi there is to make her confirm whether Jiang Huai really died accidentally!
Lu Xinyan's expectation in her heart was an accident. If it wasn't an accident, then who would kill Jiang Huai, and who would benefit the most if Jiang Huai died?
Thinking carefully, Lu Xinyan didn't dare to think about it, but felt very uncomfortable all over her body.

She felt that there was an invisible net covering the sky where she could move, and countless pairs of eyes peeped through the net.

The cloth apron of the carriage was changed to crow blue, and the furnishings inside were also covered with a layer of white silk.

The carriage to Jiangfu this time belonged to Guangping Houfu, not Lu Xinyan brought back from Zhuangzi.

It is relatively narrow and the air circulation is much poorer.

The driver's driving skills are very different from Uncle Tian's, and the bumps are severe.

Lu Xinyan thought that things were fine, but Bai Zhi soon couldn't stand it anymore.

Pale, almost vomiting.

"Baizhi, have you taken your medicine?" Qingtong kept patting her back.

"I've eaten it. It's an old problem. I can't stand the lack of air and the turbulence. It's nothing serious." Bai Zhi panted.

"Qingtong, you open the car curtain to let the air in." Lu Xinyan said: "Be patient, we will be there soon."

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion with white flags hanging on it. On the plaque were written the words "Jiangfu".

There were many carriages parked in front of the mansion. Jiang's servants were wearing sackcloth and white cloth. When Jiang got out of the carriage, seeing this scene, his legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.

Originally, she was still half lucky, maybe the messenger made a mistake, her younger brother Jiang Huai was only seriously injured and unconscious, and did not die.

Everything that was real in front of him now shattered Jiang's last thoughts, and his red and swollen eyes immediately filled with tears.

Jiang Huai is 11 years younger than her, and she almost raised her as a son. In her heart, besides her own son Miyata Yu, Jiang Huai held the most weight, even higher than Gong Yu.

She tried her best to obtain Lu Xinyan's property, not only for Gong Tian and Gong Yu, but also for Jiang Huai.

But Jianghuai didn't wait for her to succeed, and died young.

No one can understand Jiang's grief.

A butler in his fifties came up to him, with tears in his eyes, "Miss, you are finally back."

"Uncle Nian." Jiang broke down in tears.

Butler Nian is the only confidant of Jiang's deceased mother left in the mansion, because he once saved the life of Jiang Renhai, the head of the Jiang family, who is the third-rank minister of Dali Temple.

So no matter how his step-wife, Lu Shi, drove away and replaced the old man brought by Jiang's mother, and the Nian housekeeper appointed by Jiang Renhai to take care of him, Lu Shi never dared to move.

"Go and see the young master." Nian butler wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Jiang shi stepped into Jiangfu with heavy steps.

Her natal family, the Jiang family, hadn't been back for several years, and if they wanted to see Jiang Huai's family, they invited them to the Marquis Mansion, or to meet outside.

The mourning hall is set in the front yard, with white flags fluttering. Jianghuai's wife, Shi Shi, who is just nineteen, and her three-year-old daughter, Jiang Xian, kneel there in linen and mourning.

Jiang Xian was young and didn't know what happened. She couldn't kneel down, and sat obediently beside Shi Shi, looking at Jiang Shi who came forward with a pair of clear eyes curiously.

Jiang's makeup was different from before. He hadn't seen the sun for a few days and cried all night, and his appearance was swollen. Jiang Xian seemed to recognize it, but he didn't dare to recognize it.

"Siblings, Qian'er." Jiang's voice choked up.

Seeing Jiang, Shi, who had been crying to the point of numbness, burst into tears immediately, "Sister, you must uphold justice for Mr. Xianggong! Mr. Xiang used to be a bit greedy, but since Qian'er was two years old one night, once Mr. After getting drunk and scaring Qian'er to tears, Xianggong has never drank alcohol in the past year, how could he suddenly get drunk and slip into the river?"

Jiang Huai also knew about Jiang Huai's quitting alcohol. Jiang heard about it and encouraged him a few words, but he didn't take it seriously.

Because Jiang Huai is not a strong-willed person, many things that Jiang had promised to the Jiang family were abandoned halfway.

Now hearing what Shi said, knowing that Jiang Huai's quitting drinking was not a casual talk, but a determination, Jiang became even more suspicious of Jiang Huai's death.

"Siblings, have you told your father about this?" Jiang asked holding back his pain.

"I told my father that my father was skeptical at first, but she was there at the time and said that my husband is a person with a volatile personality, and I have said many times before that I want to quit drinking, but I didn't succeed once. Maybe it will be the same this time. " Shi cried: "Later, my father didn't want to pursue it much."

The woman Shi Shi spoke of was Jiang Renhai's housefill, Lu Shi, the concubine daughter of Qin Tianjian's main family.

In less than three months after Jiang's mother died, Jiang Renhai married Lu, who was four years younger than Jiang, to fill in the house.

At the beginning, Lu Shi was still cautious, and a year later she gave birth to her eldest daughter, and she treated Jiang Huai well.

Two years later, after giving birth to a pair of twins and gaining all the love and trust of the ecstatic Jiang Renhai, he began to show his true nature.

At that time Gong Yu was more than three years old, just when Jiang realized that his negligence had caused Gong Yu's estrangement, and wanted to make up for it, he ignored Jiang Huai who was nearly ten years old.

Two years later, Jiang Huai was so arrogant and conceited by Lu Shi that he had no respect for his elders, even Jiang Huai, the eldest sister who had been taking care of her son, was no longer close to her.

Not only that, Lu Shi cheated Jiang Huai of the inheritance left to him by their mother, and made Jiang Renhai extremely disappointed in the eldest son.

The Jiang family wanted to transform Jiang Huai back to the gentle and polite Jiang Huai before, so that he could focus on his studies, but it was too late.

More than a year later, Jiang Huai, who was just 14 years old, began to visit brothels under the instigation of Lu's people.

At the same time, Lu's four-year-old twins have begun to learn the Three Character Classic under Lu's strict discipline, showing excellent talent.

The young Jiang Huai couldn't resist the temptation of Gentle Country, so he completely gave up his studies, and Jiang Renhai, who had new hope, completely gave up on him.

When Jianghuai Seventeen began to talk about marriage, and people with matching family backgrounds in Beijing dismissed them, Jianghuai came to his senses. The two siblings reconcile as before, and their relationship is better than before.

"It must be that bitch of the Lu family who killed Ah Huai!" Jiang Shi was furious, "That bitch robbed A Niang of her position, took away her dowry, raised A Huai, and confuse father, so that father and A Huai and his son Centrifugal! Now he is going crazy and taking his life! Today, no matter what, I will seek justice for Ah Huai and let him die in peace!"

Jiang Renhai hastily married Lu within a hundred days of his first wife's death, and gave birth to a daughter within nine months. Jiang suspected that the two had secretly had an affair, and even suspected that his mother's illness had suddenly deteriorated. Maybe it was the two of them. What the hell!
Jiang rushed to the uncovered coffin, tearfully glanced at Jiang Huai who had been soaked beyond recognition, and took the lead to rush to the backyard.

Gong Tianyu and the others had no choice but to follow behind her, and Lu Xinyan also followed Bai Zhiqingtong slowly.

Qingtong said: "Miss, if this uncle and young master were really killed by his stepmother, then this stepmother is really cruel, even more cruel than those vicious women in the storybook!"

Bai Zhi nodded in sympathy.

Although the two have their own strengths, they have lived in a simple environment since they were young, and they rarely encounter problems. The most incredible things they encountered all happened after returning to Guangping Marquis Mansion with Lu Xinyan.

At that time, I thought Jiang's family was really hateful!

But now that the two of them think about it, Jiang's whole heart is to get Lu Xinyan's dowry, but not to harm her life, so in comparison, Lu's is much more hateful than Jiang's!
The two just thought about it in their hearts, but they never said it.

But they obviously forgot that they are not people in the secular world, and they have special skills. If the dowry is gone and they are divorced, they can still live on their own regardless of other people's opinions.

But if it was an ordinary boudoir girl who was sent home, even if she didn't hang herself, she would still be a green lantern and an ancient Buddha for a lifetime. What's the difference between killing them and killing them?
Lu Xinyan said lightly: "The things in this world will only be more cruel and unimaginable than those in the picture book."

Without cruel reality, how can there be a refined story?

"Bai Zhi, did you see how Jiang Huai died?"

Just now, Bai Zhi deliberately stood beside the coffin and took a few glances.

"On the surface, it looks like he died of drowning. If we want to get an accurate result, we must check carefully." Bai Zhi said: "But I found that his chin is a little bruised, which is not obvious."

"Accidentally knocked when falling into the water? Or fell and knocked after drunk?" Lu Xinyan asked.

"There is no way to judge, you have to undress and check."

Whether it was knocked when falling into the water or drunk, there must be more than one bruise on the chin.

But the deceased was a big one, and if the Jiang family did not agree to the undressing inspection, they would not be able to find out.

"I will try my best to get Jiang's family to agree to inspect Jiang Huai's body." Lu Xinyan said: "It's really not possible, find a chance to spy at night."

Bai Zhi asked cautiously: "Miss, is this necessary?"

Even if Jianghuai's death was man-made, if Jiang's family didn't pursue it, why would they ask for it?

Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, but stopped talking.

In a wing room somewhere in the backyard, Jiang Renhai fell on the grand master's chair and rested with his eyes closed.

He is fifty and two years old this year. Originally, his beautiful wife and son were living quite smoothly, as vigorous as a young man, but his eldest son suddenly drowned and died.

Although he was terribly disappointed with Jiang Huai, he was his own son after all. Hearing the sad news, he grew old overnight, and his face showed the discouragement that men of this age began to have.

"Master, I asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginseng porridge for you. You can eat some while it's hot." A woman in her thirties came in, with a pretty face, reddish eyes, and a figure like a young girl.

The whole body is plain and clean, not wearing a little makeup, not wearing a little pearl hairpin, it is Jiang Renhai's house-filling Lu Shi.

"I don't have an appetite, let's go first." Jiang Renhai closed his eyes.

Lu didn't listen to his order, and put the porridge on the table, "Master, I know that you feel uncomfortable, and I also feel very uncomfortable, but you haven't eaten anything since last night, and I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it." Stay! Ah Huai is no longer here, if something happens to you, what will happen to us orphans and widows?"

Lu Shi spoke with a tear in his voice, Jiang Renhai thought of the pair of bright young sons, without his support, no matter how smart they are, it would be hard to make a big progress.

Under the impulse, he slowly opened his eyes, "Bring it up."

Lu's heart was overjoyed. After Jiang Renhai drank two mouthfuls of porridge, the voice of the guardian nurse came from outside the door, "Miss, young master, young lady, young lady, please wait a moment, the master and wife are inside, let the servants go in first." Let me know."

"Get out of the way! What are you reporting? Is there something shameful?" Jiang sternly scolded, "The eldest young master just died, and his bones are not cold. Could it be that your master dares to seduce at this time?"

Jiang Renhai inside frowned when he heard this, and Lu comforted him: "Master, the young lady has always been close to Ah Huai, treating him like her own son. Now that Ahuai passed away suddenly, the young lady couldn't accept it, so she said these things." If you are out of order, master, please don't take it to your heart."

Only then did Jiang Renhai's face soften, and he said loudly, "Let them in."

The Jiang family and the Lu family are incompatible, and Jiang Renhai is no longer close, and even Miyata Yu and Gong Yu don't like this grandfather, let alone the Lu family.

After coming in, he only called out to his grandfather, and then stood aside without saying a word.

Jiang Renhai managed to suppress the anger, but it came up again, "Dogs have eaten all your rules since elementary school? This is your grandmother, and you still don't call me?"

Jiang sarcastically said: "Yu'er and Yu'er's grandmother has been in the immortals for more than ten years. My father doesn't remember it, but my daughter remembers it clearly."

"Jiang Min!" Jiang Renhai burst into flames.

"Okay, master," Lu's soft voice comforted, "Ah Huai just passed away, and the eldest lady felt uncomfortable so she blamed the concubine. Don't be angry, master."

A sarcastic and a soft, immediately see the superiority.

This Mrs. Lu is only four years younger than Mrs. Jiang, and it seems that she is more than ten years younger. Presumably, life is very comfortable, and Jiang Renhai loves him so much.

Lu Xinyan shook her head secretly, Jiang's behavior would be a disadvantage at first glance.

I have never seen her so stupid on weekdays, it seems that Jiang Huai's death really hit her hard.

"You don't need to pretend to be kind, you bitch!" Jiang said angrily, "I ask you, did you send someone to kill Ah Huai?"

"Miss, I know you don't like me, but you can't wrong me like this! Ah Huai is the master's blood, the blood of the Jiang family left by my sister!"

Lu Shi was shocked, "I have always treated Ah Huai as my own son, giving me what I want, how could it harm his mind?"

"Since you said you didn't do it, why didn't you allow your father to investigate the truth when your siblings raised doubts?"

Jiang slammed his head with a roar, Lu seemed overwhelmed, and looked at Jiang Renhai tearfully, "Master~"

When his lovely wife was questioned, Jiang Renhai was a little displeased, "I didn't let the investigation be done."

"Why?" Jiang looked at Jiang Renhai in shock, "A Huai is your eldest son, even if you don't like him, how can you ignore him for the sake of two little bastards? How will you face Ah Huai in the future? The ancestors of Niang and Jiang's family?"

"Bastard, what two little bastards? Those are your younger brothers!" Jiang Renhai was furious.

Jiang snorted coldly, "Daughter doesn't have such a blessing, neither does Aniang."

"You?" Jiang Renhai threw himself on his back angrily, "You unfilial daughter, Ah Huai just passed away, do you want to make me happy only when I'm pissed off?"

"Master!" Seeing that he was panting heavily, Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him, "Miss is in a bad mood, don't argue with her, if you have a misunderstanding, explain it clearly."

Jiang said: "Stop pretending to be here! It's disgusting to look at! This is between me and my father. What's your business?"

Jiang Renhai was so angry that he almost had a fit. Lu Shi pinched him to suppress his temper, "I won't let you check because I've already been checked."

He is the Minister of Dali Temple, in charge of prisons, and it is too easy to find someone to check the cause of Jiang Huai's death.

"What's the result?" Jiang asked hurriedly, not caring about vomiting.

"It is true that he drank too much and fell into the river and drowned." Jiang Renhai said: "The three writers all think so."

"No! Impossible!" Jiang lost his voice, "My brother and sister clearly said that Ah Huai had given up drinking and hadn't drank alcohol for more than a year. How could he drink alcohol suddenly?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Renhai snorted heavily, "When did Ah Huai's oath ever come to pass?"

"If he drank in private and came back after the wine was gone, no one would know." Lu Shi said, "Ah Xiao suddenly lost her husband and son-in-law, it's not an exaggeration to have some strange thoughts!"

"You're talking nonsense! You...you're talking nonsense!" Jiang's voice choked up, completely unacceptable to this result.

"Amin, although Ah Huai doesn't like me, I grew up holding him in my arms. Isn't it sad for me to be a father when he passed away?" Jiang Renhai rarely softened, "I know you are sad, the most important thing is now." The most important thing is to take care of Ah Huai's affairs, Yu'er, Yu'er, take your mother down first to rest and refresh yourself."

"Yes, grandfather."

Lu supported Jiang Renhai to sit down, and said softly: "Master, you also have a rest."

"Yeah." Jiang Renhai slowly closed his eyes.

Qingtong Baizhi failed to enter, and seeing Gong Tianyu and Gong Yu supporting the slumped Jiang family to the wing, she hurriedly asked Lu Xinyan, "Madam failed to report?"

"Master Jiang said that he had invited three foremen, which proved that he was drunk, stumbled and drowned."

Qingtong was rather disappointed, "It's not some kind of vicious drama that has been going on for a long time."

Lu Xinyan hummed lightly.

"Miss, did you know that even if uncle and young master committed suicide, it wasn't his stepmother who killed him?" Seeing her expression, Bai Zhi raised doubts.

"It's been 15 years since Mrs. Lu married into Jiang's family. If she wants to kill Jianghuai, why wait until now?" Lu Xinyan said, "And in the past 15 years, Jianghuai has been raised and abandoned by her. There is no threat at all. Keeping it is just a matter of time." For the matter of sharing a little family wealth, if you kill him, you may be exposed and lose Master Jiang's heart, so why would Mrs. Lu do such a thing that is not worth the loss?"

"Maybe there are other reasons?" Qingtong sparked curiosity again, "For example, discovering some secrets of Mrs. Lu?"

Lu Xinyan said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is very unlikely."

"Why?" Bai Zhi asked.

"Ms. Lu spent several years raising Jianghuai, instigating the strong sister-sibling relationship between his wife and Jianghuai, and gaining the trust and love of Master Jiang. Such a scheming and tolerant person must be very meticulous in his actions! Even if she There is a secret, with Jianghuai's mentality, how can there be any chance of bumping into it? If it really hits, it will not only be Jianghuai, but Jianghuai's family of three who will die today."

Qingtong felt that it was reasonable, but was a little unconvinced, "Miss is right, but Lu Shi is not allowed to kill his dispensable uncle and young master just because he couldn't bear Madam's disrespect to her? Anyway, Mr. Jiang is not old. Little, she has two sons in hand, even if Master Jiang suspects, he won't get to the bottom of it."

Lu Xinyan was stunned, and suddenly lost her voice.

Jiang family can't go back to Jiangfu once a year, and Lu family has endured for so many years, there is absolutely no reason why he can't bear it.

Qingtong is a martial arts practitioner, so it's not surprising that he has such impulsive thoughts.

So the reason why she lost her voice was not because she agreed with Qingtong's words, but because Qingtong's words made the hidden worry in her heart clearer.

If Jianghuai's death was really caused by someone who couldn't swallow a certain breath, who would it be?

"Miss, do you still need to investigate the cause of the uncle's death?" Bai Zhi changed the subject.

"check!"

Lu Xinyan took a deep breath, there are some things that you can't just avoid if you want to.

Since you can't avoid it, it's better to seize the initiative.

At night, Jiang and Shi knelt down in the mourning hall to watch the night.

Lu Xinyan came Shi Shiran, "Ma'am, Uncle Madam, you must be very tired after kneeling for a day, go to rest first, and I will replace you for a while."

Jiang didn't even bother to roll his eyelids, "You don't need to pretend to be kind, I'm not tired."

Shi said gratefully: "Zhuzhu has a heart, and I'm not tired."

"Then I'll accompany you for a while." Lu Xinyan didn't insist, and knelt beside her.

"What's your plan?" Jiang warned in a low voice, "Lu Xinyan, this is Jiang's mansion, not Hou's mansion. If something goes wrong, no one will cover you, so don't cause trouble for me."

Lu Xinyan said: "Ma'am guessed right, I am indeed making a wrong decision."

"Get out!" Seeing her confession, Jiang roared angrily.

"Madam, Uncle Madam, don't you want to know the real cause of Uncle Young Master's death?" Lu Xinyan said, "Anyway, I'm very curious."

"Father has already had someone find out that he was drunk, stumbled and drowned." Jiang said, "You heard it at the time, what else is there to investigate?"

Lu Xinyan said: "Ma'am, others don't know about Bai Zhi's abilities, but you do know that Bai Zhi can think of many situations that a skilled old doctor cannot detect."

Jiang's heart skipped a beat, "You brought Bai Zhi here because you want her to..."

"Yes."

"You suspected Ah Huai's death from the very beginning?" Jiang frowned, "Why?"

Lu Xinyan spent three years in the Hou Mansion, because of her filial piety, she rarely had contact with the outside world.

In the past, although the Jiang family didn't dislike her, they were not happy about it. In addition, her identity was unknown, so she didn't let her have too much contact with Jiang Huai's family.

Therefore, the Jiang family will never pretend to be sentimental and think that Lu Xinyan is unwilling to believe that Jiang Huai made a mistake because Jiang Huai is her uncle in name, and wants to find out the truth.

Lu Xinyan said casually: "It's not suspicious, I just feel a little strange and want to know the truth."

"You used finding out the cause of Ah Huai's death to satisfy your curiosity!?" Jiang was furious.

"Madam is serious." Lu Xinyan shrugged, "If Madam is unwilling to find out the truth due to some selfish motives, that's fine. I'll save myself from getting into trouble."

Jiang's breathing became short of breath, "What do you mean by that?"

"Literally." Lu Xinyan spread her hands, with an expression of unwillingness to say more about her guess.

Jiang Shi was angry and furious, but there was nothing he could do about her.

Gritting his teeth, he asked Shi, "What do you say, brother and sister?"

"I... I'll listen to Eldest Sister." Shi said with her head bowed.

Jiang Huai is dead, and the only one who can treat her mother and daughter sincerely is Jiang Shi. Although Shi Shi really wants to find out, she doesn't want to offend Jiang Shi because of this.

Jiang shi didn't want to be as easy as Lu Xinyan wanted, so he handed over the problem to Shi shi, but Shi shi kicked it back.

In the end, it was the sibling relationship that prevailed, Jiang turned her head, "Quickly investigate! But I warn you, don't be disrespectful to Ah Huai!"

Lu Xinyan didn't care about Jiang's bad attitude.

After winking at Qingtong Baizhi, the two walked towards the coffin.

Qingtong helped to untie Jiang Huai's clothes so that Bai Zhi could check them.

Jiang's and Shi's eyes kept looking there, not only wanting to see Jiang Huai more, but also worried that Qing Tong Bai Zhi would accidentally hurt Jiang Huai's body.

"Don't look at it, it will only make you sadder the more you look at it." Lu Xinyan said: "The deeper your obsession, the more uneasy the deceased will go."

Jiang's eyes turned red instantly, and the fragile Shi Shi even sobbed softly.

Over there, Bai Zhixiu frowned slightly, with a dignified expression.

After a while, Qingtong asked Jiang Huai to get dressed.

"How?" Lu Xinyan asked.

Bai Zhi hesitated to speak.

"Say it straight." Lu Xinyan's heart was slightly cold, seeing Bai Zhi's expression, she still couldn't escape her speculation.

Bai Zhi said: "Master Uncle has many inconspicuous bruises all over his body. It is true that he fell into the river and drowned after being drunk."

Jiang was disappointed for a while, with two points of anger, "This is the result of your investigation? How is it different from before?"

She was very angry with herself, and hated herself for believing Lu Xinyan's words so easily that Jiang Huai would be humiliated by stripping her clothes after his death.

Lu Xinyan ignored her, and said to Bai Zhi: "Continue."

"The bruises on my uncle's body are suspicious in two places, the bruises on his knees and chin." Bai Zhi said: "If my uncle is drunk, he will stagger when he walks, he will fall left and right, and he will fall on both sides. Kneeling and falling down. However, when a person kneels on the ground, he will habitually use his hands to support him. However, my uncle has no scars on his palms. When a person becomes weak after drunk, and the strength of his hands cannot support his whole body, he will The whole face was down and there were bruises on the face, but my uncle only had bruises on the inside of the chin."

Lu Xinyan: "So..."

Jiang and Shi held their breath.

"I can only hypothesize a possible explanation: a man with kung fu, by a river, first tapped acupuncture points to immobilize the young uncle, then made him kneel on the ground, then raised his chin with one finger, poured the wine Forcibly poured it in. After drinking enough wine, I was sure that the young uncle would be drunk, and then let him go. The young uncle, who was already drunk at that time, was dizzy and fell several times, and then Rolled into the river, creating the illusion of being drunk and drowning."

Jiang stood up abruptly, her breathing intensified, "You...you mean Ah Huai was really killed by someone?"

"Madam, I'm just inferring a possibility based on the scars on Uncle Young Master's body." Bai Zhi said, "But the bruises on the knees and chin cannot be ruled out. They were not caused by other accidents before getting drunk."

Shi suddenly burst into tears, "When Xianggong left at noon yesterday, I personally helped him change his clothes. I swear that there is no bruise on Xianggong's knees and chin! Big sister, you have to make decisions for Xianggong! Woooo ~"

"I'm going to find my father! We must send someone to thoroughly investigate the cause of Ah Huai's death!" Jiang Shi angrily rushed to Jiang Renhai's yard, no matter what time it was.

After a while, Jiang Renhai came with a livid face, and Lu Shi who kept yawning.

He came to the coffin in person, suppressed his grief and anger, untied Jiang Huai's clothes, and carefully examined every bruise on his body.

It is very possible to finally confirm the inference of Angelica dahurica.

With trembling hands, Jiang Renhai fastened Jiang Huai's clothes with his own hands, and closed his eyes for a long time before he adjusted his sadness.

Opening his eyes, his eyes shone coldly, and the majesty of a person in a high position spread all over his body, "Housekeeper You, send me an order to quickly investigate the cause of my son's death overnight! No, the person who has been with my son recently, the place where he went Relevant people, including those who brought my son's body back, will be summoned tomorrow, and I will interrogate myself!"

Jiang Renhai looked quietly at Jiang Huai in the coffin, "I... will never let my son die in vain!"

"Amin, Axiao, you have worked hard, go back and rest." At this moment, Jiang Renhai returned to the appearance of an old man who had lost his child. As... as... apologizing to Ah Huai, I couldn't believe that he really made up his mind to quit drinking."

Jiang Shi, who had always blamed Jiang Renhai for not loving Jianghuai, felt sore when he saw this scene, and pulled Shi Shi away.

"Master, I'll ask someone to prepare some thin wine and side dishes for you." Lu said thoughtfully, "It's time to drink with Ah Huai."

Jiang Renhai nodded.

Lu Xinyan became more and more impressed with Lu Shi. At this time, most people would definitely say that they would stay to show their sincerity, but Lu Shi directly followed Jiang Renhai's words, and thoughtfully thought of letting the two father and son drink alone.

It seems that Lu Shi has a good grasp of Jiang Renhai's temper, knowing when to be tough and when to be soft, when to follow suit and when to provoke secretly.

She was originally a pillow person, and she had a pair of children, and with such hard work, it's no wonder Jiang could beat her.

However, this also made Lu Xinyan more certain that Lu's death had nothing to do with Jiang Huai's death.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow?Lu Xinyan thought to herself, after thinking about it, the feeling of uneasiness became more obvious.

Early the next morning, there were a lot of people in Jiang's mansion, all of them were friends who had met Jiang Huai in the past two months, and the bosses of the places Jiang Huai had been to.

Jiang Huai used to know some cronies, but since he suddenly became sensible at the age of [-], he cut off contact with those people, and only made friends with some decent sons of low status, because those with high status thought Jiang Huai was too poor in knowledge , I don't want to associate with him, so I can only make some friends of average status.

Although those people got acquainted with Jiang Huai more or less because of Jiang Renhai's relationship, their character is really not too bad. They mainly talk about serious things when they are together, and it is rare for them to drink and go to brothels occasionally.

After some inquiries, until the afternoon, I didn't find out why.

Jiang Renhai was exhausted, "Have you found the righteous man who sent Ah Huai back?"

Housekeeper You said shamelessly: "The gatekeeper who was on duty that day was a steward's nephew who had just arrived from other places. He was not familiar with the people in Beijing. He only knew that the young man was eighteen or nineteen years old. Bufan, at first glance, he is the son of a wealthy family, but I don't know anything else."

Jiang Renhai rubbed the center of his eyebrows, a countryman who just came to the capital, even a maid looked like a lady of the family, what he said was extraordinary, how could he be extraordinary?
"Master, I just caught a sneaky person outside!" A servant came to report.

In the past few days, many nobles have come. Although the nobles are well-dressed and can't collide, it's hard to say if they are servants of the nobles.

Butler You didn't want to cause trouble for the mansion, "How do you know that the other party is sneaky?"

"The little one has been receiving guests at the door for the past two days. From yesterday morning to today, that person has wandered around our door no less than five times! And every time the little one sees him, he immediately runs away."

It seems that there is a problem, "Bring it up!"

After a while, a young man about 25 years old was brought to Jiang Renhai. He was dressed in ordinary blue robes, with a thin body and a shy expression.

"Who are you? Why are you loitering in front of my house?" Jiang Renhai lowered his voice, and when the momentum of interrogating prisoners came out on weekdays, the man was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, "Say! Do you know anything about my son's death? ?”

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Young Ming Wei, I have met Mr. Jiang several times. That night Mr. Jiang fell into the water, I saw it with my own eyes."

The clue came suddenly, but Jiang Renhai felt more and more grief in his heart, "Ming Wei, tell me what you saw one by one!"

"That night, I had a drink with some friends. On the way home after the end, when I passed an alley, I suddenly heard a very thin exclamation from inside. I was so scared that I wanted to run, and I was afraid of the sound when I ran. Too much to startle the opponent, so he held his breath and stopped, hiding behind a pillar and not daring to move.

Immediately afterwards there was the sound of gurgling. I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I quietly leaned against the wall and took a look in. The alley was very dark, but there was a moon on that night, and I saw a tall man in black with his back on his back. Facing me, pouring wine desperately into the mouth of a person kneeling on the ground, I only took a second look, but I didn't dare to look at it anymore.

After drinking a lot of alcohol, heavy footsteps came from the alley. I hid behind a pillar and saw with my own eyes the man in black walking forward with a person in his hand. I dared to look at it under the moonlight. Looking at the appearance of the two, the man in black covered his face and couldn't see it, but the person he was holding was none other than Mr. Jiang. I was so shocked that I almost screamed.

The man in black carried Mr. Jiang not far from the river, put him down, and then Mr. Jiang staggered forward, fell a few times and then got up again. He walked all the way to the river, and stepped on the ground. Poured in.

He was so drunk that he only yelled for help twice, but then fell silent.The man in black didn't laugh twice until he saw Mr. Jiang sinking and coming up again, muttered something, and left. "

"What?" Jiang Renhai asked, holding back his grief.

"He said he could go to Ms. Lu and get a huge bounty."

"Miss Lu? You mean that the man in black who ordered the man in black to kill my son was a lady surnamed Lu?" In this case, Jiang Renhai shouldn't have asked at all, but he did.

"I, I don't know, I'm just telling the truth about what I saw and heard with my own eyes." Ming Wei shrunk his shoulders and said, "After the man in black left, because I couldn't swim, I quickly went to someone to rescue me. When I found no one on the river, I thought it was because I was too drunk to see, so I didn't pay attention to it, until yesterday when I heard that Mr. Jiang was drunk and drowned, I felt something strange, and wanted to come to find out what happened."

Jiang Renhai didn't care to listen to what he said behind him, and said loudly: "Come here, quickly find out that there is a woman surnamed Lu in Beijing..."

"There's no need to investigate!" Jiang's voice was full of anger, and sounded outside the door without warning, "I know who it is!"

-

At this moment, Lu Xinyan, who was resting in the room, suddenly had her right eyelid twitch.

The left eye jumped for money, the right eye jumped for disaster, did something really happen?

Just as I was thinking about it, a handsome servant girl came to invite me, "Little Young Madam, the master has a new clue, I would like to invite the Young Madam to go over and discuss it."

Qingtong's reprimand sounded from outside the door at the same time, "What are you doing? Put down the weapons in your hands, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"What happened?" Lu Xinyan's face changed slightly.

The servant girl didn't change her face, "The master just wants to ask the young lady about something unclear."

Lu Xinyan sneered, "If you ask for advice, you can ask for it. Is it worth asking someone to bring a weapon to arrest someone?"

"Master's thoughts, as servants, slaves can only carry out, please forgive me, young lady!" The servant girl said neither humble nor overbearing.

There was a ping-pong sound outside the door, which seemed to be a conflict.

"Qingtong, don't do anything! Let's walk straight and sit up straight, what are we afraid of?" Lu Xinyan shouted in the room: "If you really hurt someone and the matter is irreparable, you really fell into someone else's trick!"

The noise stopped immediately.

The servant girl smiled slightly, "Young lady is so smart, young master is really lucky to marry you! This way please!"

Lu Xinyan twitched the corners of her mouth and followed the maid.

As soon as she entered Jiang Renhai's study, Lu Xinyan saw a white shadow rushing towards her quickly, she subconsciously flashed, and the white shadow flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of scolding, "Lu Xinyan! You bitch, I knew you had no good intentions! I have a grudge against you, so you can just target me. Why target Ah Huai? You pay Ah Huai's life! "

"Amin! Don't disturb the interrogation!" Jiang Renhai yelled.

Jiang shi didn't care, and continued to rush towards Lu Xinyan, with her fangs and claws, like a she wolf who lost her cub, wishing to tear Lu Xinyan to pieces, "You killed Ah Huai, I want you to die!"

Jiang Renhai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Stop Missy!"

There was no nanny in the study room, butler You didn't care about the defense of men and women, so he stepped forward to stop Jiang Min, "Miss, don't be impatient, the master will definitely seek justice for the young master!"

Jiang was so emotional that he couldn't listen to persuasion. He vigorously pushed Butler You away, and wanted to rush towards Lu Xinyan.

Jiang Renhai said: "Amin, if you don't stop, I'll send you out!"

Hearing this, Jiang stopped panting and stared fiercely at Lu Xinyan with eyes full of poison.

"I've met Master Jiang." Regarding Jiang's behavior, except for the initial dodge, Lu Xinyan remained calm and her expression remained unchanged.

For the first time, Jiang Renhai looked directly at the grandson-in-law.

His eyes were sharp, and the invisible coercion exuded made even the most heinous criminals unable to restrain themselves, but Lu Xinyan did not.

There was a slight smile on her lips, and she was extremely beautiful, as if she was not in the majestic study of Dali Temple Minister, but standing in a garden, leisurely and contented.

Jiang Renhai secretly praised in his heart that he is very handsome, more than enough to match his grandson!
"Father!" Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Jiang urged him.

How could such an extraordinary woman be the murderer behind the scenes?
Jiang Renhai knew that the more vicious and vicious the criminal, the less he could judge by the appearance of his eyes, but the anger in his heart finally eased a little, and his tone was much calmer, "Lu Xinyan, someone testified that the murderer behind Ah Huai's death was A lady surnamed Lu. Amin said that you and her have always been dirty, pointing out that you are the murderer, how do you explain it?"

"Master Jiang!" Since investigating the case, Lu Xinyan also changed her address, "The little girl has never done this, please be careful!"

Before Jiang Renhai could make a sound, Jiang yelled loudly: "Lu Xinyan, do you dare to open your eyes and talk nonsense? Who else is there besides you? It was clearly you who did all of this! A Huai has a gentle temperament, rarely conflicts with others, and never There will be no enemies! You blamed me for letting Yu'er alienate you, for ignoring you on the wedding night, and making you a laughing stock, and you have been holding grudges against me several times! You paid someone to kill Ah Huai just to hit me!"

Lu Xinyan asked back: "Madam, if I wanted to kill Mr. Jiang, why did I insist on examining Mr. Jiang's body last night to prove that he was not simply drowning?"

"Hmph! You always like to play tricks and play tricks on others! This time, you must be doing it deliberately to excuse yourself and prevent others from suspecting you!" Jiang said: "But your thoughts can be hidden from others, But me! With me here, I will definitely not let you escape easily!"

"Based on Madam's speculation, Madam is the one most likely to kill Young Master Jiang!"
