Mrs. Chen immediately rushed forward and cried loudly, "Master, Master, why did you go there? Are you going to leave us girls alone? Ah... Master, Master, who killed you!"
Liu Lingzhou made his first judgment, "Mom, could it be that dad went into the secret room rashly and was poisoned because it was too turbid?"
"Who poisoned me?" Mrs. Chen's eyes were red, "Someone must have planned to kill me."
She wiped her tears and said with a cold expression, "Quick, give me the order to have my aunt and those people in the house under control. No one is allowed to come in or out at will."
Liu Lingzhou knew that she was taking the opportunity to clean up the family again, so he advised: "Mother, we should hurry up and report to the officials to investigate the cause of father's death."
Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said: "Is there anything to investigate? It must have been done by that poisonous woman Shen Mingzhu. Didn't they just mess around in the house yesterday?"
At this time, an experienced old servant came forward and said: "Madam, Second Young Master, I'm afraid I'm not poisoned. We also have a cellar in our house, where vegetables and fish are usually stored. Every time we open it, it seems that it takes half a day to ventilate it."
Let’s go in. This secret room is airtight, and it will definitely take a longer time to ventilate it before we can get in. I guess the master is in a hurry, and the ventilation is not enough, so he will be suffocated when he goes down.”
Mrs. Chen spat and gave him a slap, "You old fool, did you and others plot to kill the master? The master is not dead, and there is no ventilation down there. Wouldn't he come up quickly?"
The old servant was a little confused after being beaten, but he still said stubbornly: "Madam, if the master faints first, he won't be able to get up."
Liu Lingzhou felt that what he said made sense, so it was better to report it to the official and let a reliable police officer examine it to find out how his father died.
Mrs. Chen refused to take him down, insisting that it must be the slave in the mansion who betrayed the master. She felt that the master's family had no future, so she wanted to seek refuge with Shen Mingzhu, so she conspired to kill the master.
She had all the servants arrested, and all of them fell to their knees, wailing, and saying they were wronged.
Liu Lingzhou hesitated, "Mom, we'd better report it to the official."
He then asked the servants who were going down, "What's in there?"
Lai Quan shook his head, "Second Young Master, there is nothing. It's empty."
"Fart, fart!" Mrs. Chen was almost going crazy. "Why did you go down here if you don't have anything? There must be gold, silver and jewels in there. It was all you treacherous slaves who colluded with outsiders to kill the master and took away all the treasures."
Moved away.”
Each and every one of those domestic slaves was wronged and they cried louder than if their parents were dead.
Mrs. Chen asked the nursing home to take them all away.
Because when Liu Ning went in, Lai Quan and five or six other servants followed him and brought a trolley. Although they didn't go in, at least they were the last to see the master.
Moreover, although they said they did not go in and the master did not come out all night, who knows if they went in secretly in the middle of the night to seek wealth and death?
Mrs. Chen also thought that they might have colluded with the nursing home or the disciples, secretly transported the treasure out, and took the opportunity to kill the master.
Soon, the Liu family reported it to the officials, and soon the Jingzhao Mansion sent officers and widowers to conduct autopsies and inspect the scene.
