Shuntian Mansion has a lot of working experience, and it quickly came to a conclusion:

"Reporting to your lords and generals, according to the villain's inspection, the time of death of the deceased should be about half an hour ago. The fatal injury was the stab wound on the left chest of the deceased that penetrated the heart.

In addition to this stab wound, the area where the deceased's left arm connected to his head showed severe signs of impact, presumably caused by falling from a high place.

In addition, judging from the secondary damage to the stab wound on the chest of the deceased, it seems that the deceased was stabbed first and then fell from a height, so the wound was cracked a lot."

After hearing Wu Zuo's words, many people in the hall couldn't help but frown.

It was definitely murder.

But Weng Ziqin was not satisfied. He originally planned to check it himself, but in the end because Jia Zhen's bloody appearance was disgusting, he gave up and asked Zuo: "Is this the only thing that can be found?"

"Reporting to your lord, based on the remains of the deceased, I can only infer this.

However, if we can go to the eucalyptus discovery site to check, we might be able to gain new insights.”

It is naturally essential to check the scene of the murder. Jia Lian immediately waved to Lai Sheng's family: "Take Mr. Fu Yin and all the officials to Tianxiang Tower!"

"yes."

…

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu and her sisters were shocked when they heard the news of Jia Zhen's death.

But they can only stay at home and wait for the news.

In the face of such a terrible thing, Jia Mu would not allow the girls in her boudoir to get involved.

And Jia Baoyu is a teenage boy whose cousin is dead. If he insists, Jia's mother may not object.

But Jia Baoyu had no intention of going to Ningguo Mansion.

It's just a look of shock and concern on his plump, round face, that's all.

In fact, he didn't care whether Jia Zhen died or not.

He is a philosopher who doesn't even care about his own life and death, let alone Jia Zhen, who in his eyes is extremely vulgar and smells like mud.

The only things that the Tangtang Bao Second Master can care about are his beautiful daughter and a handsome and elegant man.

In Sister Feng's Courtyard, Wang Xifeng is completely different from Jia Baoyu. She likes to join in and watch the excitement.

But for various reasons, she finally chose to stay at home.

However, her eyes never left Ningguo Mansion, and she kept asking Ping'er, Xiaohong and others to inquire about the situation.

After asking about it clearly, she guessed in front of Ping'er alone: ​​"In my opinion, this matter is probably not simple!

Everyone in our two houses knows that Uncle Zhen is a man who specializes in eating wine and playing with women. He even refuses to let Rong's daughter-in-law go. He is really like a beast.

But then again, someone like him doesn't work as an official outside, and he won't offend any powerful people. Who wants to kill him?

I'm afraid there's something hidden in it, let's wait and see, maybe the final result will surprise us."

Ping'er is kinder than Wang Xifeng. Faced with such a terrible thing, she can't speculate at will.

Looking up, Wang Xifeng's eyes were shining with fire, and she asked doubtfully: "What is grandma thinking?"

"No, it's nothing."

Wang Xifeng looked dazed for a moment. She suddenly remembered that Jia Lian had told her yesterday about the incident between Ning Guofu and his son, and that the bigger the dispute between the two father and son, the more beneficial it would be for her.

Why was Jia Zhen killed tonight?

Isn't this a big deal?

It is conceivable that when this incident spreads in the capital tomorrow, the Jia Mansion will definitely become the focus of discussion in every mansion in the capital.

In this case, will it be true, as the unscrupulous person said, that the Queen Mother will put aside the previous matter out of concern for the royal family's face?

Also, Jia Zhen's death came so suddenly, which made people feel more and more secretive about Jia Lian's behavior. Wang Xifeng, with the help of God, made wild guesses:

Could this matter be related to a heartless person?

This unreasonable and horrifying thought had just appeared before she was forced out of her mind!

I am really crazy to be so suspicious. I do this without conscience. It has no reason and no motive.

It is better to suspect Brother Rong than to suspect someone without conscience.

Jia Zhen has been coveting Rong's daughter-in-law for more than a day. Many people in both houses have secretly discussed it, and it's impossible that Rong'er doesn't know about it.

It is absolutely impossible to say that he does not hate him in his heart.

In addition to the incident between his father and son yesterday, Ronger is indeed the person with the most reasons and motivations in this matter.

However, Brother Rong is the most heartless person. Does he really dare to do such a rebellious thing?

Wang Xifeng is a bold person, and his thinking is naturally bold. Even though he knows the situation to the best of his ability, he boldly speculates on all possibilities.

Gossip is human nature.

"By the way, I heard that your second master is back and led troops to surround our own home?"

Upon hearing Wang Xifeng's question, Ping'er immediately told Wang Xifeng what he knew.

When Wang Xifeng heard about Jia Lian's series of quick and rigorous arrangements that would not stop until the murderer was found out, Wang Xifeng felt that her previous ideas were even more ridiculous.

Thinking this in his heart, he couldn't help but smile on his face: "With your second master here, I believe the murderer will be caught soon. Do you still remember the last time the Yang family in the eldest master's house plotted to poison your second master?

In the end, not only did it fail, but your second master was asked to see through it on the spot.

Sigh, sometimes I can't help but wonder, are you talking about our second grandfather, or is he the same person we knew when we were young?"

Wang Xifeng sighed with emotion.

After all, she had felt since she was a child that she was smarter than Jia Lian. If it weren't for Jia Lian's appearance and his family background, she wouldn't be willing to marry him!

Unexpectedly, just a few years after being married, I would be completely conquered by this stinky man?

Thinking of the ridiculous things last night, Wang Xifeng still couldn't help but feel a fever behind her ears, and couldn't help but glare at Ping'er.

Little hooves, you really dare to hit me!

Ping'er quietly retreated and looked at Sister Feng with innocent eyes, as if to say that she was also a victim...

Wang Xifeng suddenly laughed, and then sighed softly: "Girl Ping, you have been following me since you were a child, and I know that I am not a kind person. But at least I have no selfish motives or defensiveness towards you.

I regard you as my sister from the bottom of my heart.

What happened to me this time is entirely my own fault. If only, if I could escape by luck, then so be it.

Otherwise..."

Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er with sharp eyes, interrupted Ping'er's attempt to interject comforting words, and continued: "If you can't, I want you to promise me something."

Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng's solemnity and said hurriedly: "Grandma, please say nothing. I will agree to anything grandma asks."

Ping'er's reaction moved Wang Xifeng a little belatedly.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

In the past two days, I have seen a lot of supercilious looks and indifference towards Wang Xifeng, but I have also used this to see clearly Ping'er's loyalty to her.

"It's not something difficult.

I mean, if I really can't get over this hurdle, I will keep you.

Seeing how much your second master loves you, if you stay here, at least you will inevitably become an aunt in the future.

Moreover, with your intelligence and the power of your second master, even if the princess doesn't want to see you after entering the house, I hope you can protect yourself.

In this way, your life will be settled, and I will feel relieved."

Hearing this, Ping'er was inexplicably moved. He quickly got off his stool, knelt in front of Wang Xifeng, and cried: "Grandma, what are you talking about? I am grandma's girl. Wherever grandma goes, I will naturally go. I said, if you want

Serve grandma for the rest of your life."

Although she was reluctant to leave Jia Lian, Ping'er knew that if Wang Xifeng was divorced and returned home, her situation would become even more difficult if she lost her reputation.

At that time, Wang Xifeng was even more inseparable from her.

Her loyalty and kindness made her unable to bear the thought of abandoning the fallen Wang Xifeng and becoming a heartless person for the sake of wealth and happiness.

"Silly girl."

Wang Xifeng lifted Ping'er up from his knees, smiled and scolded: "Don't be too hasty to show your loyalty, I'm not doing this entirely for you.

Although you, the second master, are affectionate, even if you divorce me, you will not let the little eldest sister recognize me.

But after all, she is a member of the Jia family. Only by staying here can her future and wealth be guaranteed.

And once the princess comes in, even if I want to protect her, I can't see her again easily.

She is still so young, how can I rest assured? Therefore, I keep you because I hope that for the sake of our friendship for so many years, you can treat her as your own child in the future and protect her when she grows up.

, is the greatest reward for me."

Wang Xifeng was not used to saying sensational words, but at this moment, she had to say it.

She is a strong person, and even in this current situation, she has never thought about death or anything like that.

The only thing she couldn't worry about was her own bloodline.
