Chapter 266 How do you know those officials are not one of the culprits?
Bang!
When people arrived at the ground, there were exclamations.
The accomplice didn't understand: "You said you were going to deal with the person, but you called him?"
He looked back worriedly and saw an arrow coming towards him. He rolled over quickly, but still couldn't avoid it and the arrow hit him straight in the thigh.
He screamed in pain.
Jiusu asked: "Who was the person you killed? Tell me!"
The two men hugged each other in fear. One of the servants said, "A servant in the mansion did something wrong and offended the master, so we were sent here to deal with it."
The man is still in the sack.
Jiusu untied him and looked at his familiar face, but she couldn't remember who it was. Could it be an ordinary face? That's not right, it feels like the same person.
But I can’t remember it now.
"What did I do wrong that I had to kill someone?"
The servant shook his head, a hint of fear showing on his face. "I don't know either. I heard some rumors that they saw the master's secret."
Jiusu asked: "Where are you from?"
"Tian, Tian family." he said.
Jiusu pursed her lips and said, "When you go back, just say the person has been killed. You're probably afraid that Master Tian will be angry, right?"
The two servants helped each other up and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
She was the only one left in the alley with the unconscious man. She stuffed a pill into his mouth, then leaned against the wall and waited, looking down at the blood on the ground.
I looked up again and saw a narrow, white road with no one on it.
The man sat up suddenly, the pain in his body was particularly severe. He gritted his teeth in pain, then looked at Jiusu, as if sizing him up, and asked uncertainly.
"You, you are Jiusu?"
Jiusu asked: "Do you know me?"
The man said, "I'm Chen Qing, the village chief's son."
Jiusu suddenly understood and nodded: "Yes, I said you look like someone, it turns out to be Brother Chen Qing."
The village chief had instructed her before.
If you encounter danger in town, go to Tian Mansion to find Chen Qing.
"I dare not..." Chen Qing knew that Jiusu was now an official appointed by the imperial court. He had really risen to prominence after not seeing him for a few days. He looked at the blanket on his body and asked, "Thank you for saving me."
Jiusu looked around and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for long. I'll take you back home first."
When Chen Qing came to Jiu Mansion for the first time, he didn't dare to raise his head. When he saw the pool that was about to freeze, he couldn't help vomiting and apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay." Jiusu said, "Uncle Chang, take him to clean his wound and change into clean clothes."
Looking at Chen Qing's trembling back.
She stared at the lake. Chen Qing must have had a stress reaction just now.
What's in the lake?
Monster? It's not like Mr. Tian raised a water monster, is it? How arrogant would he be then?
People are afraid of running into something.
dead.
People are afraid of death.
Stopping her guessing, she sat in the main room waiting for Chen Qing.
After a moment, Chen Qing seemed to regain some of his sanity. He knelt on the ground and thanked Jiusu for saving his life. The next second, he closed his eyes, his face pale and weak.
My shoulders couldn't help but tremble.
No matter who persuades me, I don't want to get up.
"Please, Master Jiu, make the decision!"
Chang Bo helped the man up and brought him a cup of hot tea. "Drink a cup of tea first to warm yourself up. If you have anything to say, tell me slowly. With the young lady here, no one will hurt you."
Chen Qing obeyed and drank a cup of hot tea.
Jiusu asked: "Brother Chen Qing, what exactly happened?"
Whenever he recalled it, he felt extremely painful.
Chen Qing said, "I work as a laborer in the Tian residence. I don't like to talk to people, and I only have a few close friends. One of them is Hua Ling, Miss Tian's maid. I haven't seen her for seven or eight days. I thought she was sick, so I went to the servants' room to look for her. I happened to see Hua Ling being pushed into the lake and drowned. I went to save her, but someone knocked me unconscious. You know what happened next."
Jiusu frowned.
In the deep courtyard, it is common for a master to kill a maid. With a death contract, there is no chance of a murder lawsuit. Why should he kill another maid to cover up the fact?
"What's Miss Tian's personality like?"
Chen Qing thought for a moment, "She doesn't like to go out and has a gentle personality. She will be sent to Shengjing next month. I heard she is going to marry a high-ranking official."
Jiusu said, "Go back to Chenjia Village first. Don't go out and don't let anyone see you. Don't see anyone except me. I'm going to see Miss Tian."
Chen Qing exhaled, knelt on the ground, and bowed deeply: "I thank you for your great kindness on behalf of Hua Ling."
Tian Mansion.
It’s the Tian Mansion again.
Jiusu continued to go to Xiu's house. The snow at the door and in the yard was clean. Seeing Xiong Che sweeping the snow, she smiled and greeted him, "Is Sister Xiuying here?"
"Inside the house." Xiong Che said.
Jiusu pushed the door open, took off his cold cloak, and hung it on the hanger. Xiuying said happily, "Jiusu, you're here? Come and sit down. I've been so bored these past few days."
Jiusu felt the pulse and said, "You look good."
Xiuying held her hand and rambled on about the past few days. She opened her eyes wide and approached the woman: "Are you worried about something?"
"Yeah." Jiusu sighed, "I saved a man today. He said that he saw Hua Ling die and was about to be beaten to death by Master Tian. I was wondering why Hua Ling died."
Xiuying recalled, "Oh, Hualing, I remember that incident with Miss Tian's maid. It was all a long-standing story. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you'd be upset. But I've been holding it in my heart for a long time."
Thinking about what happened in Tian Mansion.
She was unhappy.
It's like a dark cloud floating around, making it hard to breathe.
Jiusu said: "Sister Xiuying, do you know? Can you tell me about it?"
Xiuying's eyes flashed with coldness, and she clutched her clothes tightly to avoid being so nervous.
"At that time, I had just married into the Tian family. Grandpa Tian was not working and was not at home. I was a restless person, so I wandered around the mansion. I saw Master Tian enter Miss Tian's room, and from inside came the sounds of sexual intercourse. After all, I was just a new bride, so I endured the disgust and left. Afterwards, I went to find Miss Tian and encouraged her to report it to the police...
You know what? She said something that I still remember."
Jiusu suppressed his anger. This old man was worse than an animal. "What are you talking about?"
Xiuying sneered: "She said, sister-in-law, how do you know those officials are not one of the culprits."
Jiusu's hands and feet have been cold for several years.
This means that Miss Tian at that time was still... She didn't dare to think about it.
She said in a deep voice, "I'll go to the Tian residence and look for Tian Wan later. I suspect Hua Ling witnessed something similar happening to Master Tian and was murdered to silence her."
Xiuying's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tremble.
"You, want to help her?"
"Help! Help to the end!" Jiusu said in a firm tone.
Xiuying pouted and tears fell. At this moment, the haze hidden deep in her heart finally saw the sunlight. She buried her head in her shoulder and cried.
"Woo woo woo, Jiusu, I knew you were a good person."
Jiusu chuckled: "Sister Xiuying, please don't give me the nice guy card. If it weren't for you, this breakthrough would not be possible. Before I leave here, I have to protect my property and friends and catch all the bad guys in one net."
Xiuying asked: "After a while, we will also go to Shengjing. Xiong Che wants to be an official. Do you believe it? He is actually a juren."
Xiong Che heard the crying and ran in. He was afraid that the coldness on his body would disturb the child, so he could only stand outside and asked, "Why, it doesn't look like it?"
Crying and laughing.
Phew, women change their minds so quickly.
