How to work

This game is a coincidence.

To sort it out, Mrs. Hou noticed Gao Cheng's strangeness and wanted to observe slowly, but who knew that he intended to seduce and corrupt Yan'an, and at the same time seek her son Cui Zhi's position as the eldest son, she couldn't bear it immediately.

At the same time, the Pang family investigates the death of Lord Hou, actively collects and manufactures evidence, and intends to drive Zhang's mother and son into the abyss.As the mistress of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhang knew very well about the secrets, so she simply used the layout to lead the case into disputes in the inner house and confuse the world's attention.

However, there is another hidden stake.

Mrs. Zhang deliberately messed up Gao Cheng's room, found and took away the token of his connection - the red wine vessel, and used this token to lure Mei Xiang out.

At the same time, Pang's and Cui Jie's quarrels were so violent that they even poisoned each other. Seeing that the timing was right, Zhang took advantage of it again.

Pang and Cui Jie tried to poison each other, both experienced a lot of pain and secretly hated each other.But they had ghosts in their hearts, and they didn't dare to question each other vigorously. With just a little reminder, it was easy to unanimously say that Mei Xiang deliberately poisoned them to death and committed suicide in fear of crime.

Mei Xiang has a very close relationship with Gao Cheng, and it is simply too possible for the suspect who wants to kill Gao Cheng...

This is a very smart, meticulous, and overall-view plan, with reasonable rules and everything makes sense. If it weren't for Lu Li and his party, Zhang's plan might have been completely successful.

……

After Mrs. Zhang explained all the details, the willow branches swayed lightly outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and the room was quiet, with the sound of needles dropping.

Lu Li's heart sank, and he was speechless for a long time.

He firmly believes that killing people is wrong no matter what, no one has the right to deprive others of their lives, and this is not the first time he has encountered such a case.But this time... I don't know if it's because Zhang's relationship with Miao Hongxiao makes him feel very close, or because this love story is too touching for him, he can't bear it in his heart.

Love is so beautiful, life is so beautiful...

He was a little contradictory, he couldn't rationally regard Mrs. Zhang as an ordinary criminal, and he couldn't put aside the fact of the murder and see her as a completely kind and gentle woman.

Even being wrapped in Zhao Zhu's warm hands, he didn't feel any less relaxed.

……

Shen Wansha didn't have such worries at all, he patted the table repeatedly, looked at Mrs. Zhang with excitement and admiration: "Aunt Zhang is so amazing!" It seemed that she wanted to learn from Mrs. Zhang, as if she wanted to be a teacher.

Mrs. Zhang stroked Shen Wansha's head affectionately: "Be good, your mother is also very smart, don't look far away." The smile was quite graceful.

Lu Li was stunned, Shen Wansha's reaction was beyond his expectation.

The young master is a pure and kind person. Whenever he encounters a murder case, he always has a lot of emotions and questions after it is over. Sometimes he can't stand it, but this time... the young master said everything?He was also worried about how he would answer if the young master asked a question...

Zhao Zhu squeezed his hand, leaned over and whispered to him, "Gao Cheng and Mei Xiang are servants."

Lu Li understood.

Although Gao Cheng voted for another master, but he is a servant of the Cui family, the Zhang family is in charge of the Marquis Mansion, so he is his master, killing him is not against the law.Mei Xiang is not a servant of the world, but a servant who has signed a contract of life. Her parents and family members have good citizenship outside. Killing her is more troublesome than Gao Cheng, and she will be punished according to the law in the government.However, the punishment for killing slaves is relatively small. Even the heaviest punishment can be dealt with with class status, power and money.

Therefore, Zhang's behavior is not considered wrong in this era. At most, it is spread out, which is not good for her reputation.Even if Mei Xiang's family came, they probably wouldn't dare to make a big fuss...

But is there really no price to pay for killing someone?

Zhao Zhu squeezed his hand again, reminding him: "There are only two servants."

……

Lu Li thought for a long time, and slowly, he figured it out.

He comes from modern times, and may be able to use his own power to influence and promote the rise of forensic medicine, but it is impossible to change the ideology and class thinking of feudal society.The reason why he often feels uncomfortable is because of his knowledge, his way of thinking is different from the people here.

He can persevere in one or two small collisions of thought, and the friends around him can be tolerant and helpful, but what about when there is no one around?What if the matter he was facing was very serious and related to the death of an important person?

He needs to adjust himself.Stubbornness will not cause harm to others, and the one who will be affected is always himself.

He can insist on some things, but more often, he must integrate into this society...

When he came back to his senses, Yan An was turning his head and talking to Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang didn't look at him, her face was cold.As for Shen Wansha...he was resting his chin in both hands, watching the two talking with great interest, his clear eyes flickered, and he was gossiping.

"What are they talking about?" Lu Li tugged at Zhao Zhu's sleeve.

Zhao Zhu didn't answer directly, but just looked at him, smiling very meaningfully: "Aren't you awkward?"

"What's wrong with me!"

Still don't admit it...

Zhao Zhu felt itchy in his heart, and couldn't help touching Lu Li's thigh, "It's so cute."

Lu Li's eyes were wide open, in broad daylight, playing hooligans in front of a bunch of people!

"Yan'an is admitting his mistake." Zhao Zhu stopped whetting his appetite, wrapped his big hand around Lu Li's little hand, "said he shouldn't turn himself in impulsively, and also said how he came up with the rationale."

Lu Li thinks about it, Yan An is actually very smart.He guessed the key to Zhang's killing with ice skates, contacted all the information he knew, fabricated his motives for killing, and the process, and even Mei Xiang could find enough reasons.He didn't know about Gao Cheng's missing things in his room, so he simply didn't make it up, and directly pushed it to Mei Xiang. The whole process was quite reasonable and logical...it was not simple.

Yan An has a good appearance, with bright eyebrows and star eyes, plump and handsome, and the profile of his face is extremely beautiful, especially when he talks to Mrs. Zhang, he is shy, excited and depressed, and the whole person is beautiful like a painting... ... Lu Li was almost dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhu hooked Lu Li's chin and forced him to turn his head: "Is this king not good-looking?"

Lu Li: ...

What kind of vinegar is this!

He slapped Zhao Zhu's big hand away, saw that what Yan An said was similar to Zhang Shi, coughed twice: "Aunt Zhang, I want to know..."

"Wait here for a while, I'll go back and get some things." Mrs. Zhang left with a smile.

After she left, Yan An bowed to the three of them, "Yan An thank you all."

"What do you thank us for?" Shen Wansha waved his hand, feeling a little depressed, "You have feelings for Madam, Madam already knew, and Madam is not ruthless to you, you also found out yesterday... let's talk about it today, I Look at Madam—I don't mean to do anything to you."

What a good couple, why not be together, wronging myself for a scumbag!The young master is really a little unhappy.

Yan An shook her head slightly, with a gentle smile, "Madam has a son and a life of her own. I never thought of disturbing the influence. Now that I know her heart, I am satisfied. If it weren't for several of you, I'm afraid I won't have this in my whole life." Opportunity. After this matter is over, I will move out of the Marquis Mansion. For today’s matter, I will look at a few of you... just pretend you haven’t heard of it.”

After he finished speaking, he made another long bow, with a willingness to beg.

Lu Li and the others were slightly startled.

Yan An's move was to ask them to keep this secret and not spread it to the outside world. He was worried that this matter would ruin Zhang's reputation and make it difficult for her to do it in the future.

This person is really thinking about Mrs. Zhang all the time...

He was so sincerely willing to ask, how could Lu Li and the others refuse to agree?Only then did Yan An breathe a sigh of relief and leave with a smile.

Shen Wansha's arms drooped weakly at the edge of the table, and his chin lay on the table, "It's a pity, why can't we be together..."

Lu Li also felt it was a pity.

Zhao Zhu said, "It's still a long time."

That's right... A person's life is long, and the decision made today, do you know if it will be changed in the future?

"Because of me, this case may not be dealt with too lightly. Mrs. Hou needs to go to the government office. What happens at this time will have a greater impact."

As soon as Zhao Zhu explained, Lu Li and Shen Wansha understood.In the past few years, the emperor has been severely punished by the prison. The more serious the case, the more severe it will be. Madam Hou's murder of a person is typical, and King Ping personally participated in the onlooker, although it is not a serious crime according to the law. , It is impossible to perfunctory casually.

……

Several people were discussing, when they suddenly heard a soft sound outside the window, Shen Wansha got close, and immediately ran over, "Cui Zhi? Why are you here!"

As soon as Lu Li heard Cui Zhi's name, he immediately walked over. Seeing Cui Zhi nestled under the window, his face was full of tears and his eyes were red.

His heart tightened, "You...you heard everything?"

Cui Zhi nodded, his voice was hoarse, "I heard it."

Ancient ethics were very important, especially women's fame. Lu Li was worried that Cui Zhi would be unkind to Mrs. Zhang, "Then what do you think? Your mother...has never done anything to be sorry to your father or you."

"I know." Cui Zhi buried his head in his knees, his voice was warm, "My father didn't like me, and he was very bad to my mother. When I was young, I was anxious and sad. When I grew up, I was more helpless. I hope Parents are good, but they... go farther and farther away, and what father thinks about is the concubine, concubines, and their sons, and mother... is living a very hard life."

He spoke slowly, "Master has feelings for my mother... Actually, I feel it in a trance. My mother abides by etiquette and never sees males alone. She is especially cruel to my wife. I was lucky at first and proud of my mother. A chaste woman, but today... I feel sorry for my mother."

Shen Wansha sighed, "Yes, your mother is a woman worthy of respect."

"My mother is the person I respect the most in my life. My wife is my mentor. She treats everything meticulously and wholeheartedly. I regard her as my father..."

Cui Zhi's voice was a little confused, as if he didn't know what he should do.

Lu Li said: "Cui Zhi, you have grown up. In two years, when you are full, you should start a family, inherit the title, and take care of everything in the Marquis's Mansion."

After he finished speaking, Cui Zhi's voice was not heard for a long time.

Cui Zhi didn't speak until he was a little impatient.

"Yeah... I'm an adult..." Cui Zhi took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, his clear eyes reflected the blue sky, "Should stand upright, take responsibility, take good care of everyone, and shouldn't hide like a child, Leave everything to the mother."

At this moment, the expression in Cui Zhi's eyes changed, as if he had grown into an adult overnight.

"I want to protect my mother and let her live a good life..."

……

Long after Cui Zhi left, the worry on Shen Wansha's brows still persisted, and he repeatedly asked Lu Li, "Is the child okay?"

Lu Li thinks that there should be no problem. Cui Zhi is a child with clear eyes and a very righteous heart.

Even Zhao Zhu seldom spoke: "He's not young anymore, if something really happens...he just deserves a beating."

Lu Li & Shen Wansha: ...

Mrs. Zhang will be back soon.

"I didn't say much about the girl I accidentally saved, Yan An was here just now." She handed something to Lu Li, "This is what she was wearing at that time."

When Lu Li saw it, his eyes straightened immediately, and he hurriedly pulled Zhao Zhu to have a look.

This is actually a treasure map! !

They have three treasure maps in their hands. Lu Li has seen them many times, so don't be too familiar with them. This one is definitely a treasure map!

Sure enough, Zhao Zhu's eyes were also very excited, and Shen Wansha almost jumped up. There was nowhere to look for, and it didn't take much effort to get here. The world is full of pies!

Mrs. Zhang sensed their emotions, "You...know each other?"

"Not only do we know each other?" Lu Li's lips curled up, "We've been looking for it for a long time!"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Lu Li, and then at King Ping, who was sitting next to him in an intimate and protective posture... Nodding decisively, "You two know each other now, so take him away."

"Aunt Zhang is willing to give it?" Shen Wansha was very surprised. This is a treasure map, which represents a lot of wealth!

Mrs. Zhang smiled heartily, "It's useless for me to hold it. Little Lizi came to me this time, and I haven't seen anything that he likes it very much. Since this thing is destined for him, don't say I'm useless, it's just useful. Da, I have to give it too! Besides—”

Her voice sank, she looked at Zhao Zhu quietly: "With Prince Ping here, even if there is trouble, the prince will not be afraid if you want to come."

Zhao Zhu shook his head slightly, "I remember your love."

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "No need, just remember to be nice to Xiao Lizi."

Zhao Zhu thought to himself, of course he would be nice to his wife, but he didn't want to take things from Mrs. Zhang for nothing... He should put more thought into this case and protect that idiot Cui Zhi.

It can be seen that good people will be rewarded.

Mrs. Zhang is kind in saving people, smart and prudent. This time, King Ping can do her a favor. They came all the way from Sichuan, trekking through mountains and rivers, and worked hard to solve the case. They didn't see much reward in the early stage, and encountered many obstacles. Recently, these two cases But even got three treasure maps...

Shen Wansha almost burst into tears, shaking Lu Li's arm: "Little Lizi, you must be a good person, you must be a good person!"

Lu Li didn't understand the brain hole of his little friend, so he patted his head, "Be good, we are all good people..."

Then, he asked Mrs. Zhang: "That girl at that time..."

"I don't really know much."

Mrs. Zhang said that the girl seemed to be running for her life. When she met her on the verge of death, she was already breathing in more air than exhaling.She couldn't save the girl's life, so she agreed to send money to the girl's family and take care of her, so the girl talked to her about the organization.

This organization is all Daxia people, half of them are stunning girls, and half of them are talented but unambitious scholars.The girl is trained to be a stunner who can be seductive, enters the official's back house through various methods, competes for favor, gains the trust of the official, and puts news on the side of the pillow; , about the behavior of officials.

It is said that this organization is very large, and the master is a person who is under one person and above ten thousand people, so it is difficult for people in the organization to betray them. Few people have the absolute ability to save them, but they still go forward and fight to the death Also figured out.

These people are all from bad backgrounds. In a sense, the organization has given them a way of life. As long as they are ruthless, they can live well.But the punishment of the organization is outrageous, and the things they are asked to do... There is no lower limit at all.

"The girl said that she is not a masochist. She really couldn't bear it, so she had to run away. But it was not easy to run away, and there were so many soldiers chasing her. She knew she couldn't survive." Zhang sighed, "The girl has hatred in her heart, probably because of it. If you want to die, you have to cause some trouble to your superiors, so she told me these things."

But Mrs. Zhang is not a fool. After knowing the information, she has the initiative to do what to do.For these years, she has been in the capital, watching everything around her coldly, without any intention of being a bird.

As long as others don't provoke her, she will not be arrogant to be a hero to save the world, but if others dare to offend her, she will dare to stomp that paw!

"I found this picture on the girl's body after she died. She didn't say what it was, but she mentioned that the people above were looking for something... This picture was wrapped in oiled paper and hidden Very good, I thought it might be useful, so I kept it.”

Mrs. Zhang narrated the whole story, frowning slightly, "The only thing I don't understand is why these people are looking for Yan'an? Yan'an has lost his appearance, no matter how talented he is, he can't enter the court. Except for his good looks, he is still pleasing to the eye , who has no money and power, what do you want him to do?"

"Aunt Zhang, don't underestimate Mr. Yan," Lu Li smiled. "Master Yan is very intelligent and transparent. And sometimes...face is very important. Even if you don't have the talent to match it, it's hard to make people feel bad. ,Is not it?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed, and told Lu Li and others what the girl had said to her at that time, the characteristics of the people in the organization, and the names of a few people.

……

The brain was filled with information for a while, and Lu Li thought seriously. Could it be that there are three groups of organizations looking for treasures?

The alien organization alliance is one. These people have been rooted in Daxia for a long time, formed a certain scale, and know a lot of information. It is difficult for them to investigate in depth. He Lianyu is currently working hard for this.

The second one is the Chi Yan Tang mentioned by Zhao Zhu.This family is very strange. It has its own organization, rules and regulations. It seems that it has nothing to do with foreign organizations, but they can always meet them during the treasure hunt.

For example, the Rising Dragon Club in Xingyuan Mansion, the night attack on Jingzhao Mansion, and the recent fight in Shangjing City.These people have been chasing the treasure map, not knowing how much information they know.

The third one is the Great Xia organization proposed by Mrs. Zhang today.The way of using concubines, butlers, and staff members...is strange.

Lu Li suddenly remembered the case of Bai Mingtao in Xingyuan Mansion.Bai Mingtao was killed by Guan Shan, the housekeeper at the time. It seemed to be related to personal grievances, and also to the embezzlement case, but when he thought about it carefully, the treasure map was involved in the case at that time, and it was also here that he and Zhao Zhu Found the first treasure map...

Could it be that Guan Shan is a member of the Great Xia Organization?

If so, didn't they fight each other a long time ago?

Does this organization know of their existence, or that they are also looking for a treasure map?

……

The more he thought about it, Lu Li was nervous, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

Zhao Zhu patted him on the back at the right time, with warm palms and gentle movements, as if to say: Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Lu Li took a deep breath, exchanged glances with Zhao Zhu, and decided to discuss this issue in detail later.

……

After finishing these things, there was nothing else to do, Mrs. Zhang took a long breath, and her expression became very relaxed.

Lu Li personally held the pot and poured tea for her, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Xia Ri's shirt was thin, and when Lu Li stretched out the portable pot, he moved a little too much, and the Sovereign Order hanging around his neck slipped out.He smiled a little embarrassedly, reached out to hold the token, and was about to stuff it back.

"Wait!" Mrs. Zhang suddenly spoke to stop him, her eyes became very excited, "Can you let me see the sign on your neck?"

Lu Li was puzzled, so he untied the Sovereign Order and handed it to her.

Mrs. Zhang took the token with trembling fingers: "It is three inches long, one inch and two inches wide, and three inches thick. There is a golden frame on the edge, water cloud patterns are painted on the top and bottom, and the seal character 'Chuanyun' is written with gold lacquer on the inside... That's right, That's the sign."

"Aunt Zhang knows?" Lu Li was really a little surprised this time. This patriarchal decree is most useful when traveling in the world and ordering people in the world. How did Mrs. Zhang know?

Mrs. Zhang didn't answer directly, but asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you... get this brand?"

"Probably... it was left by my mother." Miao Qi entrusted someone to take care of the sign, and it was Miao Hongxiao's property, so it must be left to him.

"That's right, it's Ah Xiao's...it's Ah Xiao's..." Mrs. Zhang cried while holding the sign.

Lu Li was puzzled, and stared at Shen Wansha, what happened?

Zhao Zhu made a gesture to signal them to be quiet, because Mrs. Zhang might still have something to say.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang cried for a while, wiped away her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "That day you came to ask me about Ah Xiao, and I had something to say, so I didn't tell you."

Lu Li opened his eyes slightly, "Huh?"

"Return to your mother, her last words can only be said to the person holding this sign."

Mrs. Zhang straightened her back, sat upright, and looked at Lu Li: "She said: Please help me take care of my son. Children are naughty and always like to go into the wild, but their legs can't run very far. Please help me." be magnanimous."
