552. Chapter 552 A happy event in the flower field
It seems that the facts must be hidden in the heart of the Madam. If she had not spoken, no one would have been able to solve this case.
For several days, Hua Xiaogu was unable to do anything. Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian also found out about this matter from somewhere, but they did not interfere too much. After all, the children were already busy and if they were disturbed at this time, something might go wrong.
.
There was no other progress, but at least the magpie was temporarily restrained, and the governor of Shuntian Mansion was not allowed to rashly accuse her. Hua Xiaogu had no other way, so she had to scrounge up all the fragrant powder and rouge she could get in Beijing these days.
, sent to the prison, and let the magpies smell them one by one.
This was originally the only straw that Hua Xiaogu grasped in desperation, but after the magpie denied the smell of all the fragrant powder in the capital, Hua Xiaogu felt that it was getting more and more fishy.
A prostitute, even a relatively well-known courtesan, has limited money after all. Even if she can find rare spices, they are definitely not something that cannot be bought in the capital. However, Hua Xiaogu will get everything she can.
All the spices and powders she got were placed in front of Magpie, but none of them were the ones she had smelled in Qing Yue's room.
Perhaps, there is something strange in this fragrance.
Tian Languang has been asking everywhere these days, but no matter how many connections he uses and how many people he asks, he still can't find any other signs of Qing Yue before committing suicide. It wasn't until he heard what Hua Xiaogu said that he seemed
Found a glimmer of hope.
"The smell is weird?" Tian Languang lowered his head and began to carefully recall the smell in Qing Yue's room: "It smells like medicine? Could it be that Qing Yue had some kind of illness and knew she didn't have much time left, so she committed suicide?"
Hua Xiaogu shook his head: "I don't think it's likely. If she really got some strange disease, then she would definitely spend all her money on medical treatment, right? However, Qing Yue's money has not decreased.
Look."
Hua Xiaogu scratched his head as he spoke: "Besides, no one noticed that she has any symptoms."
"No, it is indeed a bit weird." Tian Languang seemed to be reminded of something, suddenly raised his head and said: "I remember that she suddenly felt sleepy once before playing the piano, and then she went out for a while. When she came back later, she was fragrant.
But my spirits have improved a lot. Do you think you suddenly fell ill, so you went out to take medicine?"
Hua Xiaogu pursed her lips and remained silent.
"If we can find the source of this fragrance, we can go out and inquire about it, and we may make some progress." Tian Lanqing sighed: "But now we still don't know where this fragrance comes from."
"Unless there is an expert." Hua Xiaogu suddenly said.
As soon as this sentence came out, Tian Lanqing and Tian Languang both looked at her.
Hua Xiaogu hesitated for a while, then looked up at Tian Languang: "...do you remember He Xiangniang?"
He Xiangniang? What does it have to do with her?
Tian Languang's expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, Tian Lanqing spoke first: "You mean, maybe this fragrance is related to the strange fragrance used by He Xiangniang?"
"It may not be related, but after all, He Xiangniang is well-known in the world for her ability to use voodoo spices. If you ask her about it, you might be able to find out some tips."
After Hua Xiaogu finished speaking, he lowered his head again.
Ever since He Xiangniang bewitched Tian Languang, people have disappeared. After all, she was just a Jianghu woman who took Yu Dingshan's money to do things for him. Yu Dingshan has fallen, and this He Xiangniang no longer poses any threat. Now Hua Xiaogu will
She thought about it, but it was for a clue that she didn't know was useful or not.
Tian Languang was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "If we find He Xiangniang, there is another use. She can make the old madam tell everything she is hiding."
Yes, even though they used some sideways methods, if the Madam can tell them what she has concealed, they might be able to get more clues. But... He Xiangniang is a charlatan, where are they going to find it?
she?
"No, that woman is too dangerous." Tian Lanqing shook his head: "Last time, she almost made Lan Guang unable to wake up."
"But she only wants money!" Tian Languang immediately retorted: "Since she is someone who can be bought with money, it is easy to handle. If she doesn't want money, we can give her more money!"
Seemingly grasping the life-saving straw, Tian Languang almost set off immediately to go out and find this person.
"But... that He Xiangniang is elusive. We are not people in the world. We are going to find her somewhere soon!" Hua Xiaogu raised his head and asked.
Tian Languang was stunned for a moment, then reached into his arms and carefully took out a strand of hair from his purse...
That evening, Tian Languang no longer listened to the persuasion of Tian Lanqing and Hua Xiaogu, and quickly left the capital on horseback. He took the magpie's hair and went straight to the middle of Shu to find his brothers in Baigui Village and invite them.
Word spread everywhere that He Xiangniang was offered a high price to come out.
After dinner, Hua Xiaogu sat in the yard, looking at Yong'an squatting and reading not far away, and Dog Rou'er, who was playing with his tail alone without anyone paying attention, feeling a little melancholy.
I hope Tian Languang has a smooth journey and can successfully find He Xiangniang and bring her to the capital.
At this moment, Tian Lanqing had just come out of Mr. Tian's study. He had explained everything recently to his parents and was preparing to come to Dianjiang Pavilion to find Hua Xiaogu.
The poor groom had been married for four days, but because of something like this, he still hadn't touched his new wine. Even because Hua Xiaogu was in a bad mood, he simply went back to Dianjiang Pavilion for some peace and quiet.
Looking at his wife's somewhat frightened back, Tian Lanqing waited for a while before walking forward and patting her shoulder gently.
"...Did the master and his wife say something to you?" Hua Xiaogu didn't look back, only said something faintly.
Tian Lanqing pursed her lips and did not respond.
Hua Xiaogu didn't wait for the answer, but she already knew the answer in her heart. She sighed slightly, lowered her head and murmured: "The magpie was wronged, she will definitely come out."
She knew in her heart that the master and his wife must have talked a lot about Magpie and Tian Languang to Tian Lanqing. Although they didn't mind that their second daughter-in-law was a charlatan, after all, being able to control their dandy second son was considered a blessing.
That's a good thing. But if the second daughter-in-law is a murderer, they won't be able to ignore it.
What's more, their second son, for the sake of the magpie in prison, has been acting like a ghost for a while, and now he has wandered into the world alone, not knowing where he is.
