dead

When the county magistrate brought a group of people into the hall, he saw a face-to-face young man standing next to the stern-faced magistrate.A pair of shimmering peach blossom eyes, even without smiling, she is romantic.

He really looks good, if he stops at the gate of the city, he will probably win the hearts of half of the women in the city.

After being promoted to the hall, there was silence all around, and no breathing was heard.

County magistrate Chen asked the hall: "Shuangxi, maidservant, but you found the body of your second young master?"

"It's the servant girl."

County Magistrate Chen took a picture of the gavel: "Double Happiness! You were serving in the main house, so why did you go so far to the West Courtyard? It's clear that you killed the Lord and tried to get away with it! Didn't you just do it?"

"I'm wronged, Master Qingtian!" Shuangxi was so frightened that he couldn't get out of his wits, and quickly kowtowed: "My lord, the young one is a bit at odds with the autumn scene in the west courtyard. I overheard the words of my wife and Sister Dongyun last night, and I know that the young master is probably not well. So I wanted to taunt her a few words. Passing the well, I wanted to fetch water to quench my thirst, only to find the dead body of the second young master. It really wasn't done by slaves!"

The county magistrate Chen said impatiently: "Speak out loud and forceful, let's pull it down and hit ten boards before we talk about it!"

Shuangxi cried and was dragged down.The county magistrate Chen asked again: "Who in this mansion has a rift with Wang Jinyu? Tell the truth quickly!"

I saw a pretty and lively beauty come up and kneel down: "Your maidservant knows."

County magistrate Chen narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Which one are you?"

"Back to my lord, the love of slaves."

"You said you know someone who has enmity with your second young master, who is it?"

"My lord, everyone in this house hates the young master more than Xia Zhi. Half a year ago, it was the second young master who urged the master to beat the young master thirty times. The young master was already weak. It directly took away half of life. At that time, the blood flowed... You are the young master's personal servant girl, dare you say you don't hate it?"

Xia Zhi said angrily: "You talk nonsense! My lord, don't be fooled by this little hoof! She was obviously having an affair with the second young master, but later the second young master fell in love with Qiu Jing and left her behind. So she It was only with resentment in my heart that I made such a murderous move. My lord, it is clear!"

At this time, Wu Zuo came up and replied: "My lord, the cause of death of the deceased was indeed drowning, and the time of death was probably around Hai hour last night."

County magistrate Chen said: "Chunqing, Xiazhi, you all say you are innocent, so what did you do last night at Haishi?"

Chunqing lowered her head and said, "The servant girl slept in the room last night and did not go out."

Xia Zhi sneered and said, "Aren't you guilty? Who knows if you were sleeping or killing someone? I was worried about the young master's condition last night, so I went to the side courtyard to take care of him all night. The night wind blows me, and I still have a headache. .”

"Hmph, what does that prove? The young master is sick and in a daze, who knows if you've been in the house all this time?"

"Then you are innocent again? In my opinion, you are the most suspect!"

"Okay! Think this is a vegetable market? What's the point of being so noisy!" County magistrate Chen yelled angrily, "Chunqing, you are sleeping in the house, but what else happened?"

This is because the adults saw that little hoof's beauty, and deliberately excused her.Xia Zhi curled her lips in disdain.

Chunqing pondered for a while, and suddenly said happily: "Is there such a thing? At that time, I slept until midnight, got up to relieve my hand, went to the corridor, and happened to meet Sister Dongyun! At that time, Sister Dongyun was standing outside the young master's window. She said hello. Don't you think so, Mammy?"

There was an uproar, and I didn't expect that Sister Dong Yun, who had always been very prestigious, would be involved in this matter.

County magistrate Chen said in a deep voice: "Dong Yun, it's so late, what are you doing in the west courtyard? Is what Chun Qing said true?"

Dong Yun lowered her head and did not answer, before sighing after a while: "Now that Madam has gone, what else can I hide? Let's just say it."

"What, madam is dead?" Many servants of the royal family under the hall were already in a panic.Madam has always been their god, now that Madam is gone, what should they do?

Dong Yun's expression was gloomy: "When I heard the news of the second young master's death, Madam was shocked for a while and became seriously ill, so I went."

"My lord, what Chunqing said is true. Because the young master was born by the first wife, not the wife's own. Therefore, the madam has always felt that the young master is a thorn in the flesh, so she often sends slaves to spy on the young master's actions. Although the young master is sick Seriously, Madam didn't let her mind go, she still asked the servants to go and monitor. My lord, what the servants said is true."

As for Madam instructing her to take medicine, Dong Yun didn't mention a word.

"Okay! It turns out that you have been sneaking around!" Xia Zhi was furious, "Then you also saw me last night? Why didn't you say it just now?"

County magistrate Chen asked, "Is what Xia Zhi said true?"

Dong Yun nodded: "It's true. I didn't turn around until Zishi, and I happened to meet Chunqing who came out to relieve her. Before that, this girl took care of the young master in the house."

Now county magistrate Chen is in trouble.Everyone has an alibi, so who is the murderer?

Mr. Tian said with a smile: "This is strange, the second young master of the Wang family doesn't sleep at night, what is he doing in the side courtyard? Could it be because he wants to catch ghosts?"

County magistrate Chen nodded: "Young master is right. Everyone in this county is from a young age. I know a little bit about these activities. It must be that Wang Jinyu has an appointment with some maid. No matter who it is, it is better to confess it early to avoid Flesh pain."

Everyone in the hall trembled, but no one responded.

Chunqing clapped her hands suddenly and said, "I almost forgot! Yesterday when I was working in the flower garden, I heard that the second young master had made an appointment with someone to meet at Haishi. At that time, I was still sore. This person is Qiujing!"

"Qiu Jing, who is Qiu Jing?"

"My lord, Qiu Jing is the maid serving the young master now." Dong Yun stepped forward to answer.

"That's it, where is Qiujing?"

Everyone looked around, but they couldn't see Qiu Jing.

Xia Zhi was startled and said: "It's strange that the little hoof couldn't be found last night, and I also said that she was lazy. So it is like this!"

"Quickly find out Qiu Jing's whereabouts!"
