How to work

The girl had teardrops hanging from her eyelashes, and she clenched her lower lip with her white teeth. She looked so pitiful that it made people look sideways.Shen Wansha couldn't bear it, but still sighed softly, and said slowly, "I'm really not Lu Li, he is."

Shang Minmin stared blankly at Lu Li, who had a handsome face and a gentle temperament, who seemed like a god descending, sobbed, knocked her head to the ground, and said in a sad voice, "Shang Minmin, the daughter of the people... My sister, Shang Qiaoqiao, died in Cannibalizing the uncle's mansion, the rich and powerful cover the sky with one hand, and the daughter of the common people has nowhere to appeal for grievances... Please be merciful, sir, help the daughter of the common people to examine the body of my sister, and bring the murderer to justice!"

The little girl looked beautiful, but her eyes were swollen into peaches when she was crying, her voice was hoarse, and a small piece of ground in front of her was wet with tears, and the blood stains on her forehead were mixed with dust... To be honest, she was not pretty, and she was still very embarrassed.

But a deep sorrow permeated deep in her bones, and she exhaled along with crying blood and mourning... Any man with a bit of blood would not bear it.

Lu Li sighed lightly, and reached out to the little girl, "Get up and talk."

Shang Minmin didn't dare to take Lu Li's hand at all, as if she was very afraid of Lu Li's rejection, she continued to kowtow with her lips shaking, "Please sir... Please help... help the girl..."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and some couldn't bear it, and shouted loudly, "Sir, please do me a favor, the little girl is so pitiful!"

……

Shang Minmin's body trembled, she was happy that others spoke for her, but also worried about offending Lu Li, she didn't know what to do for a while, so she just continued to kowtow sullenly.

Shen Wansha had a terrible headache, "I said, girl, can you... let go of my feet first?"

No matter whether the girl was talking or kowtowing, she was hugging his leg tightly!He obviously saw Lu Li, and begged seriously, can you spare the young master!

Shang Minmin froze, and immediately let go of Shen Wansha's feet as if she had been scalded, took two steps back and kowtowed to Shen Wansha to apologize, "The girl is too sad to be rude, please don't blame me, young master!"

Lu Li sighed, pulled Shen Wansha over, smoothed the hem of the young master's clothes, and called Shang Minmin to get up, "Young master won't mind."

Shen Wansha felt that he had been greatly frightened today, and had lingering fears in his heart. He hid half of his body behind Lu Li, and said to the little girl on the ground: "I'm not angry with you. If you have anything to say, you can get up and say it! Little Lizi is the best!" , if what you say is true, he will not ignore it."

Shang Minmin raised her small face, her eyes sparkled, "Really?"

Lu Li nodded, "Get up."

Shang Minmin just stood up.She probably knew that she was in a mess now, and she was afraid of dirtying the nobleman's eyes. She turned around and patted the dust on her knees, took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, and roughly tidied herself up before turning around and saluting deeply to Lu Li and Shen Wansha, "Minister girl Shang Minmin, I met Mr. Lu, Mr. Shen."

Lu Li received the gift upright, "tell me about your grievances."

"Minnv lives in Dengxin Hutong, North Street, and has an older sister..."

Shang Minmin repeated what she said to Shen Wansha before, biting her lower lip tightly with her white teeth, trying not to cry.

After Lu Li listened, he was quiet for a moment before asking, "How does the Bofu explain Shang Qiaoqiao's death?"

"It is said that he has a sudden illness..."

"How can you be sure that she was killed by someone else, not from a sudden illness?"

"My sister had to rest and return home on the [-]th day of April. She went back to Shou'anbo Mansion at the time of application that day. On the afternoon of the second day, my sister's body was sent back by the servants of the Bo Mansion... What kind of sudden illness caused a living person to die in one day and one night? Totou, I don't even have time to see my family for the last time!" Shang Minmin's eyes were full of tears, "And my sister has been in good health since she was a child, and she rarely suffers from illnesses, so it is absolutely impossible for her to catch a sudden illness..."

When Shang Minmin was speaking, Lu Li kept observing her. The little girl's grief was true, and her hatred for Bofu was also true, but when she said these words, she bit her lips a little harder, and her eyes flickered a little... It's not that there are lies in it , that is, there are unfinished words, which are hard to say now.

In fact, there are cases where people who are normally 'healthy', or who appear to be 'healthy', die suddenly due to underlying diseases or dysfunctions.Lu Li can cite many examples, such as diseases of the cardiovascular system, diseases of the respiratory system, diseases of the central nervous system, diseases of the digestive system...etc.

Shang Minmin expressed grief, which is deplorable, but everything still needs to be told with facts.

Lu Li asked Shang Minmin again, "You said that you have sued the government, but will the government conduct an autopsy?"

"Have."

"What's the conclusion?"

"It's sudden death, the reason is unknown, it may be a sudden illness, or it may be other stimuli, such as... choking to death after eating the wrong food." Shang Minmin blushed slightly, "My sister is the most dignified and polite, how can she eat? If you don't pay attention, you will be choked to death!"

"How long has Shang Qiaoqiao been dead?"

"Three days," Shang Minmin heard Lu Li's voice, and immediately wiped away the tears from his cheeks, "I have to take good care of my sister's body. If it is convenient for you, sir, I can examine it right away."

Lu Li did have this intention.The corpse will tell him a lot of information, sometimes more detailed than listening to people, "such as..."

At this moment, someone suddenly interjected, "The uncle's mansion is so powerful, why bother to kill an unknown servant girl, and make such a fuss? Little girl, don't you want to extort money!"

This voice was shrill and oily, with obvious doubts, and it burst out suddenly when everyone was quiet, which can be described as ear-piercing.

Shang Minmin immediately turned her head and shouted in the direction of the voice, "I didn't!" with an extremely angry expression.

It's a pity that after the speaker finished speaking, he quickly got into the crowd and stopped showing his head. Shang Minmin couldn't find someone to confront him.Moreover, this person's words also brought other directions, and soon someone questioned, "Yeah, what's the benefit of making such a big fuss for the uncle's house? The uncle's house really wants to bully a little boy who has no father, no mother, no power, and no power." Girl, what kind of tricks are there, can I let you jump around?"

……

Before Shang Minmin asked Lu Li for help in the autopsy, describing it as pitiful, everyone almost immediately stood by her side, hoping that Lu Li could help.If Lu Li and Shen Wansha didn't help, or even had a slight intention of refusing, everyone would probably question their character, but now they agreed to help, and Shang Minmin got what they wanted. Apart from being curious, everyone wanted to continue watching the fun , and no more expectations.

Now someone pokes this direction, and a small number of people who are not so pure and kind naturally start to think about it...

Human nature is like this, regardless of ancient times or modern times, time and space, as long as they are human beings, they are all the same.

With the appearance of such voices, gradually, the public opinion began to shift towards Shou'anbo Mansion, and more and more people began to think that Shang Minmin was rude and making trouble.She is to the uncle's house, just like an ant is to an elephant, an elephant can easily trample an ant to death, and it can't even make a splash. Today's result must be due to Shang Minmin's impure mind, who intends to kill his sister Blackmail Shou'anbo Mansion.

"It's because the uncle's house didn't give me enough money when my sister died!"

"I still want to use my elder sister's dead body as an excuse to become an aunt in the mansion or something, and fly on a branch to become a phoenix?"

……

Shang Minmin couldn't find the person who started to speak, and she couldn't open her mouth so much by herself, her throat hurt more and more, and she could hardly speak at the end... The little girl was so wronged, she knelt down and buried her in her arms, woo I cried.

The way she cried was terrible, and Lu Li could see the teardrops in her eyes hitting the dust on the ground...

Shen Wansha shrank back behind Lu Li again, "It's scary when a woman cries..." How much water must be in this body...

The scene was chaotic and the voice was too noisy. Lu Li felt that no one else could hear what he was saying, so he went over and dragged Shang Minmin up.

Shang Minmin covered her face, "What I said is true...I didn't lie...and I didn't try to blackmail anyone..."

"Take me to see your sister's body," Lu Li's voice softened slightly, "Dead people don't lie. Whether she contracted a serious disease and died suddenly, or was deliberately killed by others, you can tell at a glance."

Shang Minmin nodded repeatedly.

Lu Li looked around for a week, "Until the facts are not known, it is useless to argue, everyone can take a break and wait for the truth to be revealed before deciding who to scold."

These words were a bit cold, and seemed to have thorns, but he had a decent status, and there was a young master of the Shen family standing next to him... The crowd around the audience were momentarily stumped, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, "I'll wait for the autopsy, sir!"

"Yes! Waiting for the results!"

"If the little girl and sister were really murdered, and the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, let's apologize to the little girl and write a letter to plead for life!"

"Exactly! If the little girl is full of nonsense and intends to use this matter to blackmail... She should not apologize to Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu has a noble character and cannot tolerate such people's defilement. Just send her to prison and never come out in this life." Harmful!"

……

Shang Minmin's eyes were burning, and he jumped in front of the crowd, gnashing his teeth, "It's just as you said! If my sister died unjustly, please help the little girl get justice; if I, Shang Minmin, talk nonsense If you have selfish intentions, don’t go to prison, I will immediately find a rope and hang myself to death, so I don’t need to live!”

"Although I, Shang Minmin, am not a man, I know what I promise and what I do is worthy of the world and my own conscience! If I have selfish intentions, I will be hit by thunder and thunder, and there will be no place to die. My soul will float in the wilderness, and I will never be reborn forever! "

The little girl was very hot, as soon as she said this, the scene fell silent at the same time.

later.

"Oh, it doesn't have to be like this..."

"Who spoke just now and bullied the little girl?"

"How old is a little girl, probably not yet 13 years old, so aggressive, don't feel guilty!"

"At such a young age, if you really do something wrong, can you change it..."

……

The atmosphere on the scene changed so quickly... Lu Li frowned slightly, and his eyes circled around the scene again.

Shen Wansha craned his neck to take a look, "Why do I feel something is wrong..." It seemed that someone was deliberately guiding the direction and confusing people's minds.

Lu Li withdrew his gaze, patted Shen Wansha on the shoulder, turned his head and called Shang Minmin, "Lead the way ahead."

Shang Minmin responded, and led Lu Li and others towards her house.The crowd in the audience was fine and not that busy at the moment, so they followed out of curiosity.

……

Dim Wick Hutong is a bit far away, halfway there was nothing to say, Lu Li suddenly asked Shang Minmin, "Do you want to tell me?"

Shang Minmin looked back and saw that the person who followed was falling far away, so she probably couldn't hear the sound, so she turned her head and said softly to Lu Li, "My sister...she was insulted! "

There is such a thing!Shen Wansha was quite surprised.

"That's why the little girl didn't dare to say anything about my sister's reputation..." Shang Minmin covered the corners of her eyes and explained, "My neighbor to the east is named Zhou, and they have a son and a daughter who are just as old as my sisters. The two are equal. The Zhou family's parents died early, and the father was kind. Although he was not very capable, he took pity on the lonely children and raised them together. Because of this, the poverty situation of the family has not been improved..."

"My sister and brother Zhou's childhood sweethearts grew up together. Although they haven't entered into a marriage contract, they have understood each other's intentions. Brother Zhou has been waiting for my sister to redeem her body and leave the uncle's house. I kept this matter hidden and did not mention it to outsiders..."

Shang Minmin said, on the afternoon of April 20th, when she was doing embroidery under the window, people from the uncle's house suddenly brought in Shang Qiaoqiao's body, saying that Shang Qiaoqiao died of a sudden illness.There was no look of pity on their faces, and their clothes were not shy, and some of them even wore red belts around their waists.Putting Shang Qiaoqiao's body in the courtyard at will, the two threw down [-] taels of silver, warned her not to talk nonsense, and left.

Shang Minmin was so sad that she couldn't help herself, she cried hard for a while before she came back to tidy up Shang Qiaoqiao's remains.Shang Qiaoqiao was wearing the same clothes as when Xiu Mu returned home yesterday. There were blood stains under the skirt. Except for injuries on the lower body, there were no injuries on the face and body. It was impossible to tell how she died...

Shen Wansha frowned, and wanted to ask if he did too much of that kind of thing and died, but Shang Minmin was too young, so he was a little embarrassed to ask such a question.

Shang Minmin seemed to understand his expression, her face was reddish, and her head was turned to one side, "Although my sister has suffered some injuries, it doesn't look serious, and it is impossible to die."

"So you suspect that Shang Qiaoqiao's death is related to the eldest son of the Bo family." Lu Li pondered.

"Who dares to attack the servants, who else but the master!" Shang Minmin bit her lips, "My sister always abides by the rules, and the maids in the courtyard are the ones who come and go on a daily basis. She is not familiar with the servants, and in recent years, my sister I was promoted to be in charge of the decoration of the study, and the study is used by the masters!"

"Just based on this, it doesn't mean that the murderer is the son of Shou Anbo."

"The uncle's house has strict rules, and it is impossible to tolerate people committing crimes indiscriminately. If my sister is not killed by the master, who can it be?" The second sister came back with a disturbed expression, and mentioned that she might be targeted by the prince, so I suspected it!"

"This is possible..." Shen Wansha clicked his tongue lightly, that Guo Yang was indeed not a good thing.

……

Several people were talking, and soon arrived at Shang Minmin's house.

Shang Minmin pushed open the door and guided a few people in, "Please——"

Lu Li went in and looked around.The yard is not big, but it is very clean. There are a few peach trees planted in the yard, and a few pots of flowers and plants are placed in front of the window. It feels very lively and energetic...

It's just too quiet.

"Xiaoxin—Xiaoxin—I have invited my husband!" Shang Minmin ran to the front of the hall eagerly, "I can stretch for my sister—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

After that, there was heart-piercing crying and screaming, "Xiaoxin, what's wrong with you, Xiaoxin! Where's my sister, sister—"

Lu Li and Shen Wansha looked at each other, no good!The two hurried to the main hall.

The main hall is hung with a white cloth, and there is a coffin parked in the hall. In front of the coffin, there is an altar table, on which there are offerings such as fragrant fruit snacks, and a small incense burner.The incense stick in the censer had probably just been burned, and Lu Li could see red threads in the incense ash, and white smoke rising faintly.

But there is no one in this coffin!

There was a little girl lying in front of the coffin, the little girl was about the same age as Shang Minmin, and now she was hugged and called by Shang Minmin, her mouth and eyes were closed, her face was pale, she didn't know if she was dead or alive...

Lu Li's mind turned sharply, he immediately squatted down, went to pinch the little girl's pulse, and went to check her breath.

Well, alive, just passed out.

"Put her down."

Lu Li joined in and checked the little girl's body. Seeing that there was a red, swollen and bruised mark on the back of her neck, she concluded that she must have been knocked out.He pinched the little girl, but the little girl didn't wake up, so he crushed the Suhexiang pills that he carried with him and handed it to the little girl's nose...

If the little girl is still awake, he will probably give the little girl another Suhexiang pill to swallow.Fortunately, the little girl woke up.

"Xiaoxin!" Shang Minmin burst into tears, hugging the little girl and crying.

"Minmin?" The little girl's eyes became focused, her consciousness returned, and she also cried, "Someone Minmin hit me!"

Shang Minmin cried for a while, carefully touched the little girl's body, checked that the little girl was fine, and then introduced to Lu Li and Shen Wansha, "Her name is Zhou Xin, as I mentioned before, the neighbor next door. Today the Zhou family My brother is busy, so I asked Xiaoxin to help my sister guard the spirit, and I went to find a chance to invite Mr...."

Shang Minmin finished speaking quickly, and hurriedly asked Zhou Xin, "Where is my sister? Where is my sister?"

"Where else can my sister go, isn't it—ah——" Zhou Xin cried again, "Sister...where did my sister go?"

Shen Wansha felt that Tianguang heard the woman cry this day, and he had a headache from crying, so he patiently persuaded, "Don't worry, tell me what you were doing before and what happened to you?"

"I've been keeping vigil for my sister, but when I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my neck, I didn't know anything..." Zhou Xin grabbed Shang Minmin's sleeve in a panic, "Someone came over, knocked me out, and stole my sister's body!"

……

Lu Li and Shen Wansha didn't come alone, they came with them, and there were some people who were watching the excitement at that time.Now when I entered the yard, I saw the two little girls asking and answering, and someone said, "Why, the body is gone?"

"There are people who steal money, people and men these days, but I've never heard of anyone who steals corpses!"

"A dead person, what did others steal it for? It's not that you lied, now you've revealed your truth..."

Shang Minmin flung his sleeves and stomped his feet in a big way, "I'm not lying. My sister was really killed by the uncle's house, so I want to seek justice for her. If it didn't happen, what would I do!"

"Yeah, what are you making trouble for?" Someone asked coolly, "Is it because of the wealth of the Shou'anbo family, or is there a grudge with the Shou'anbo's house, and if it doesn't work out, you have to peel off the skin?"

"I didn't!" Shang Minmin burst into tears.

Zhou Xin was also anxious, "Sister Shang was indeed killed by someone. The body was still there just now, and I have been guarding it!"

"What about people now?"

"Stolen!"

"It was stolen...Are we so stupid that we can't hear such lies!"

The onlookers felt deeply insulted.When Dangjie made the betting contract with Shang Minmin, they still couldn't bear it, they didn't expect that this girl is really a liar!

Shen Wansha felt that it was against harmony again, and tugged at the corner of Lu Li's sleeve, "Little Li——"

"Hmm..." The corners of Lu Li's lips hooked slightly, and there was a faint light shining in his eyes, "It's very interesting."

"Interesting?" Shen Wansha looked at him in surprise, the scene was so chaotic, how could it be interesting?

Lu Li put his index finger between his lips, signaling him to stop talking and watch carefully.The young master blinked, pursed his lips and said nothing, looked at the yard curiously, and at the same time pondered what the little friend said, what's the point?

……

Soon, someone shouted in the crowd: If there is your sister's body here, just ask your neighbors!

Shang Minmin agreed, and immediately, together with Zhou Xin, knocked on the doors of nearby neighbors.

As a result, the neighbors said: Shang Minmin did have a sister who worked as a maid in Shou'anbo Mansion, and Shang Minmin did say that her sister was dead these two days, but the body... they didn't look at it.Shang Minmin didn't intend to have a funeral, and it's not easy for them to come to ask, so they don't know whether there is a corpse or whether it is Shang Qiaoqiao.

Shang Minmin bit her lip, her big eyes were full of tears, "I didn't attend the funeral because I wanted to get justice for my sister first!"

Others didn't listen to her explanation. Anyway, it's hard to say whether there is a corpse or not.

Shen Wansha leaned over and whispered to Lu Li, "Didn't you say you went to the government to file a complaint? Just go to the government and ask. The government will definitely not lie."

Before he finished speaking, someone asked the same question as Shen Wansha.

It happened that someone in the audience knew the servant of the government. The servant lived not far from the merchant. He went to invite him very enthusiastically. Soon the servant came over, looked at Shang Minmin, and said that the girl had indeed sued with a corpse.

But they didn't know Shang Minmin, and no one except Zhou Xin could testify that the deceased was Shang Qiaoqiao, so he couldn't be sure...

Soon, someone said convincingly, "It must be that Shang Minmin was thinking of blackmailing Shou'anbo Mansion, and he and his sister came up with this ghost idea, and also brought in the close neighbors of the Zhou family, and the corpse that I don't know where to find." , made this game!"

"Yes! I plan to get good things, and everyone will share them equally!"

Shang Minmin was extremely sad, tears were about to flow from his eyes, "Then tell me, where is my sister now! How could I curse my family to death!"

"Maybe your sister is hiding in the dark, ready to command at any time!"

"I can't do anything for money, don't say that my family is dead, it doesn't matter if I pretend to be dead!"

A group of people turned their attention to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, you are skilled and pure, don't be fooled by this girl!"

"That's right, such a person is not worth helping!"

"I just wanted to use this miracle to hook you for telling a big lie, and you'll be fooled if you help!"

……

The heroes were so angry that they could spit out their saliva far away. Shen Wansha watched this scene in shock, his jaw almost dropped.

Lu Li patted the young master on the shoulder, "How is it, isn't it interesting?"

Some people say there is a corpse, some say there is no corpse, and now the corpse can't be found... Who is lying?
