With the help of Zhu Jianchun, Su Xiaoxiao invited the famous arrester from the capital's yamen to intervene in the investigation. The arrester was worthy of being the arrester. From the direction of the snake-catching family, clues were quickly found. It is said that the snake-catcher was exterminated that year.
The aristocratic Xiao family originally had thirty-seven people, and there were indeed thirty-seven corpses found. However, it was later discovered that one corpse was not that of the Xiao family, but that of a killer bitten by a poisonous snake fed by the Xiao family.
The missing person was the youngest son of the Xiao family. However, in the next twenty years, there was no news about this son, and he seemed to have disappeared from the world. Coincidentally, three years ago, a family of more than 40 people in the family of a political figure disappeared.
He was bitten to death by a poisonous snake overnight. The poisonous snake was a krait. The government searched for a long time but could not find out who was responsible. In the end, they had to conclude that it was a vendetta and let it go.
The detective is investigating the servants in the house one by one, and the truth seems to be getting closer and closer.
That night, at the third watch of the night, everyone in the Ding family, except for the night guard, fell asleep. A lean figure escaped the guard's eyes and silently entered the courtyard of the Ninth Lady Bai Xue without any guards.
Bai Xue had already asked the servants to go to rest, and she was waiting anxiously in the room alone.
There was a gentle knock on the door, no more, no less, exactly three times. That was the secret signal between her and that person. Bai Xue quickly ran to open the door and let the person in. She carefully looked around to see if she could see anyone.
Only when people were following me did I feel relieved and closed the door.
As soon as the visitor entered the room, he knelt in front of Bai Xue and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, it was A Xiao who was useless and did not help the eldest lady. The fetus is safe and sound."
Bai Xue quickly helped him up, "Don't worry, we have plenty of opportunities. I will kill that kid sooner or later!"
"Miss, A Xiao can't accompany you to the end. Miss, please take care of yourself!" Bai Xue also knew that the gods had entered the Ding family and would soon find out about A Xiao. She was also a little panicked, but she was more afraid.
Bai Xue calmed down and found an extra hairpin in his hand hidden in his sleeve, and walked closer to A Xiao little by little.
Just when Bai Xue was about to stab A Xiao in the neck, she suddenly saw A Xiao's head turning this way, and Bai Xue's hands hurriedly retracted into her sleeves.
A Xiao turned around and said firmly to Bai Xue, "Miss, don't worry, I won't hurt you!"
After a pause, a sinister smile appeared on A Xiao's lips, "Miss, even if I die, I will drag that bitch to be buried with him!"
Bai Xue calmed down, tears came to her eyes, and she held A Xiao's hand tightly. She looked like she was dripping with tears. Any man who saw him would feel affection for her, and A Xiao was no exception. He stretched out his hand tenderly.
Wiping away Bai Xue's tears, "Miss, A Xiao can no longer accompany you from now on. You have to take good care of yourself."
Bai Xue nodded with tears. A Xiao took something out of his arms and handed it to Bai Xue, "This thing can help you repel the enemy and escape smoothly at the last moment."
Bai Xue took the thing, with tears in her eyes. A Xiao looked at Bai Xue affectionately for a long time before decisively walking out. Just as Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief, she heard A Xiao stop and say, "Miss, after all these years
Well, you... have you felt my affection for you? Are you also a little bit attracted to me? "
Bai Xue was shocked, turned around slowly, and looked at A Xiao tenderly, her eyes filled with mist, "A Xiao..."
A Xiao left with satisfaction.
As soon as A Xiao left, the tenderness in Bai Xue's eyes immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless indifference and coldness.
"Being attracted to you? Humph! You are just a house slave! What qualifications do you have for me to be attracted to you? A toad wants to eat swan meat!"
This night, I spent it seemingly peacefully, but actually it was a turbulent undercurrent.
Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by Qiu'er, saying that the arrester had sent someone to invite her to the Yamen. It turned out that there was a slave named A Xiao in Qianyun's yard who took the initiative to surrender to the arrester, saying that he was the arrester.
A descendant of the Xiao family, a snake family, also showed the gold and silver snakes he caught to the gods.
A Xiao confessed to the governor of the capital that all this was instigated by the third lady Qianyun. In order to become Ding Shaoze's wife, she was afraid that the fourth lady would give birth to a son as she wished and steal her opportunity, so she asked him to deal with the fourth lady.
The lady is poisonous.
The police arrested Qianyun. Qianyun cried and cried in the court, saying that it was none of her business and she did not ask A Xiao to deal with the fourth lady at all.
When Su Xiaoxiao rushed to the court, the governor was asking people to torture Qianyun. After beating her twenty times, Qianyun was covered in blood, but she refused to admit that she had poisoned the fourth lady.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little strange when she saw the man named A Xiao with a cold face and lowered his head, showing no sign of fear towards Fu Yin. Logically speaking, if he was caught, he should desperately beg for mercy, but not only did he not
He begged for mercy and offered Qianyun to him, with a calm expression on his face, as if everything had been planned a long time ago.
When the governor saw Qianyun crying and shouting, but refused to confess, he wanted to be punished again. Su Xiaoxiao was afraid of being wronged, so he rushed out and said that there were doubts in the case and asked the governor to suspend the execution. Qianyun looked at Su Xiaoxiao gratefully.
Xiao Xiao quickly glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao kept observing him and noticed that there was shock and resentment in his eyes, which made Su Xiaoxiao feel that something was fishy.
Fu Yin just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible and did not want to listen to Su Xiaoxiao's words, so he asked the police to arrest Su Xiaoxiao. Fortunately, Zhu Jianchun arrived in time. Fu Yin saw that Su Xiaoxiao and Zhu Jianchun were old friends, so he immediately put on a flattering face.
, and asked the police officers to bring a chair for Su Xiaoxiao to sit on, while he gave up his position as chief judge to Zhu Jianchun.
Under Zhu Jianchun's repeated questioning, A Xiao confessed to Zhu Jianchun about his affair with Qianyun, and said that he did these bad things for her because he liked Qianyun. Now that his conscience found out, he surrendered to the government and exposed it.
Qianyun's crime.
Su Xiaoxiao saw Qianyun's face turned pale and looked at A Xiao with anger and shame. She suddenly understood in her heart that it was true that Qian Yun and A Xiao had an affair, but A Xiao's poisonous attack on the fourth lady was instigated by Qian Yun.
That may not be true. I'm afraid Qianyun was framed.
Who is carrying out the vicious plan of killing two birds with one stone?
Suddenly a person appeared in Su Xiaoxiao's mind, staring at A Xiao with a sneer, which made A Xiao's heart pound. Su Xiaoxiao said slowly, "A while ago, a customer came to the Ding family's pawn shop.
, I pawned a high-quality jade bracelet, and the person who pawned this bracelet is you - A Xiao! I was shopping at the time, and happened to see this scene. I have seen that jade bracelet on Qianyun's wrist. "
"That was indeed given to me by the Third Madam." Qian Yun's face was ashen, while A Xiao's face was bright.
"Since you keep saying that you like Qianyun, why did you pawn the bracelet she gave you?"
"I...I...is short of money to spend..."
"Lack of money? You work as an errand in the Ding family every day, and you have a monthly salary. How can you be short of money?"
