Chapter 185

The maid was so sad that her face was twisted, but she didn't dare to shout, bit her lips tightly, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Feng Die let go of her hand. When she turned around, her face was full of smiles and she kept saying sorry. She didn't notice it just now and drank with the squire.

Yunzi, who had been paying attention to Feng Die's actions in secret, saw this and said to Lu Jinping: "The Feng Die you like is not a good thing. She is so vicious to her servants and seems to be full of resentment towards the scholar. She has spent all her money for her, but when she sees her like that, she seems to be eating her life raw."

Because of the crowds of people around, Lu Jinping's martial arts skills were not good, of course he couldn't hear what Qingfeng Die and the others said. When Yun Zi said this, he couldn't help but look at Feng Die in surprise.

Next was a group singing and dancing of the Chunhualou singer arranged by the rich man Ma. This song and dance was full of ambiguity or evil, teasing the man's senses, so the venue was even more cheerful and the people were buzzing. It seemed as if a bucket of oil was ignited, and the whole thing was boiling.

Feng Die saw that the governor Feng and Lu Jinping were talking and drinking with others, and didn't care about her, so she glared at her maid Xiaoqiao, then quietly got up and hid in the crowd and walked out. ** Zhu ​​Yunniang was always with her, and she hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Where are you going?"

"I'm in a hurry, go to change my clothes." Feng Die said.

"Then go and go back quickly. There is no one here on the side of Governor Feng."

"Yes, I know."

After saying that, Yun Niang quickly walked out of the small door on the side and came outside the yard. The noise in the hall suddenly became much smaller.

It was still drizzling outside. The long string of red lanterns hanging under the eaves were not affected by the rain, and they still emitted a bright red light, shining on the yellow gold bricks on the ground, looking extremely magnificent.

Feng Die asked the maid: "Where is Mr. He? Didn't he say he wanted to see me? Where is it?"

"I. I don't know, he didn't say it just now."

"You are dead, don't you ask?" Feng Die cursed hatefully, reached out to her hand, grabbed her pretty face with all her strength, and twisted it hard. The pain made her pretty face deformed. Of course, it was more because of pain, and tears fell down. However, she didn't dare to say a word.

When Feng Die is about to wait, "If the dead person doesn't come, I can't wait like this, right? I just said that I'm in a hurry and really want to urinate. Please keep it for me."

"Yes." Xiaoqiao didn't even dare to look up.

Fengdie looked at the rain again. It was not too heavy, and it was not a big problem to go back and forth in the rain. So he lifted his skirt and walked out of the eaves and walked towards the toilet in a corner of the yard.

Xiaoqiao quickly followed behind and walked into the rain on the yellow gold bricks.

At this time, thunder came faintly from the distance.

…………

Front yard hall.

The melodious sound of silk and bamboo, coupled with the sound of thunderstorms outside, has a smell of drums and concerts.

In fact, governor Feng had not watched the hot songs and dances before. He was talking to several gentry. He was very enthusiastic, and a high-level scholar like him was disdainful to watch the songs and dances.

After talking for a while, Governor Feng turned to look for Feng Die, but could not see Feng Die's side, and couldn't help but feel confused. Zhu Yunniang was staring at him and hurried over and said, "Master, Miss Feng Die is in a hurry to change her clothes, and she will come back in a moment."

Governor Feng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sharp hysterical cry from afar outside, which came into everyone's eardrums.

If the noisy singing and dancing just now had not ended, I was afraid that the people in the front hall would not hear this sound. But now that the sound has dropped, the sound has come into everyone's ears, and I can't help but be stunned.

The rich man Ma's face changed slightly, and he said to the male servant Turtle beside him: "Who is making noise outside? Such a ghost shouting ghost is disturbing the Lord and Governor Feng. Be careful of his skin, go and take a look!"

Several turtle men agreed to rush out of the house quickly. After only a moment, several men were terrified and shouted: "It's amazing, Miss Fengdie was burned to death!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

Governor Feng subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Lu Jinping. The two of them stood up and walked out. The others followed behind and rushed out of the front yard side door.

The rain was still falling outside. But they didn't care about the rain anymore, and rushed straight into the rain curtain and quickly walked towards the direction where the screams came. When they got closer, they saw a few turtle men and Fengdie maid Xiao Qiao standing in front of the toilet in a corner of the yard. Xiao Qiao was sitting in the ground in the pool on the ground, trembling, blindfolded, and cried with sob.

The father-in-law pointed at the toilet in horror and said to the governor Feng and others: "Miss Fengdie, Fengdie, was burned to death inside."

Feng thought he had heard it wrong, but at this moment, he was shocked when he heard these turtle men say this with his own ears. He looked up and saw that the toilet was black and could not be seen clearly, but there was a smell of burnt meat.

He quickly walked forward a few steps and came to the toilet. The door of the toilet was half open. He leaned his head in and couldn't help but scream, and took a few steps back. The golden bricks on the ground were soaked by water. He couldn't help but slam it. After looking up, he fell down. Fortunately, Lu Jinping, who had been following behind, was quick-witted and held him in a hurry, so he didn't fall down.

The governor Feng even trembled, his old face turned pale, grabbed Lu Jinping's hand and said tremblingly: "Sir, you, go and see if it's Fengdie."

Lu Jinping said: "Don't worry, sir, I'll go and have a look."

After saying that, when the governor Feng stood firm, he let go, took two steps forward, looked in, and sure enough, a human-shaped object was curled on the wooden board of the squat in the toilet, but his body shrank a lot.

Lu Jinping turned around and said anxiously: "Come on a lantern!"

The Turtle Lord agreed to run away quickly and quickly brought a few lanterns. One of them was handed to Lu Jinping, and the other several were held high in their hands. They knew that the Lord was going to investigate the case and must have lighting. This should be thought of without the Lord's orders.

Lu Jinping held up the lantern, walked at the door of the toilet, and looked in. At this time, a slender hand reached out to him and took the lantern in his hand. Lu Jinping looked back and saw that it was Yunzi.

With the light of the lantern, Lu Jinping looked at the corpse first. He had burned only the broken head, soles and palms, and his body had basically burned completely carbonized.

Lu Jinping took a deep breath. He had never seen such a violent fire that he could burn a corpse to such a look in such a short time.

He then looked around and found that the toilet in the newly built Qinlou was not gorgeous, but it was definitely cleaner and tidy than the ordinary toilet. It was relatively spacious inside, with several pedals in total. The cesspool was buried on the ground, and there was a step in the squat pit. Because it was newly built, there was not much smell in the toilet.

There is only one door when entering the toilet, and the body is located on the squat pit at the entrance, curling.

Lu Jinping's eyes fell on the remaining feet of the deceased. His feet were wearing embroidered shoes and two woven peonies on the upper. Although most of the bodies had been burned and could not be identified, we can initially judge from these unique embroidered shoes that the deceased was Fengdie.

Lu Jinping was checking the situation in the toilet here. The governor Feng had calmed down and pointed at the maid who was crawling on the ground and cried angrily: "What's going on? Who burned your girl to death?"

: "I... I don't know. I just waited under the tree in front of me so that no one would come in and disturb the girl. But no one came. I waited for a long time, but the girl didn't come out. I was a little worried, thinking that I wouldn't fall asleep inside because I was drunk, right? So I came over and saw a burnt smell when I arrived at the door. I was very surprised. How could it smell like this when it was raining? I went up and screamed twice, but I didn't hear the girl answer. So I went up and pulled the door, opened it in, and saw the girl lying there, and it was already burning. I was so scared that I screamed in shock, and then you came."

Governor Feng arrived: "Have you ever seen anyone approaching the toilet?"

"No...no."

"No? You were right next to the toilet and didn't even see it?"

"Yes..., really..., I didn't see it... Master"

When the governor Feng saw Xiaoqiao evasively, he looked wrong and immediately said sternly: "You slut! You dare to deceive me. Come and slap me!"

To be honest, just now... the girl twisted my face and was bleeding. I saw that she was so angry that she really didn't dare to get close to her, so I waited in the corridor over there for a while, but I didn't come to the toilet, so I couldn't see if anyone came to burn the girl to death, and I don't know who did it..."

Governor Feng was so angry that he kicked Xiaoqiao hard in the face, kicked Xiaoqiao in a fight, and scolded: "You useless thing, don't follow your master, and let your master be burned to death. Please wait, and wait until I catch the real murderer before coming to settle the score with you!"

Xiaoqiao was so scared that she trembled all over and turned over. A hole had been kicked out of her face, and she was dripping blood. She cried on the ground, but she didn't dare to speak.

Governor Feng pointed at the turtle men and said, "When you ran over, did you see suspicious people nearby?"

Several turtle men looked at each other and replied together that they had not seen each other, and that the only maid was the only one.

Governor Feng asked if anyone nearby saw suspicious people, etc. These people were panicked and looked at each other in a panic, but shook their heads in panic and said they had not seen them.

Governor Feng finally got a satisfactory woman. Then he started, but was burned to death under his nose. This made him feel heartbroken and even more disgraceful. He wanted to catch the murderer and avenge his lover, but he had no idea what to do. He saw Lu Jinping standing in front of the toilet without holding his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something. He seemed to have seen the savior, and quickly went over and bowed: "Sir, how about it? Are there any traces of the murderer?" (To be continued...)
