Chapter 13 Murder case in Hou Mansion, suspect Boyi
"I killed someone? Who did I kill?"
Boyi could no longer care about his dignity, his deep eyes were filled with clouds, and his whole body exuded a strong murderous aura. He was so wild that he was almost forced to take two steps back.
She looked at the man in black clothes and dark eyes in front of her. He was definitely not an ordinary person who could release such murderous intent in an instant.
But so what?
Yu Qiansi once again put on her sweet smile and shook the densely written letter in her hand. She turned her wrist and the Yuli Qiankun on her index finger was also rotated with jingling bells. She stared at Boyi and said word by word
: "An old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, named Yu Ren."
Early this morning, Lin Shen once again ordered people to send a letter at high speed, which stated several doubtful points and a very important new clue. It was this clue that pointed the murderer directly at Boyi.
There was a buzz in Boyi's mind, and everything went blank.
Before he could think about it carefully, he subconsciously retorted: "This is impossible! He was still alive when we left, wasn't he still singing "Cheng's Monument"!"
Hearing this, Yu Qiansi clenched her fists suddenly, and the sound of the universe in Yuli disappearing. She raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly: "You really know him!"
At this moment, Boyi no longer had the intention to think about whether he had exposed any flaws. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "If he dies, who will be my guarantee?"
Yu Qiansi looked at the dumbfounded Yu Anning outside the door and made a "please" gesture.
"Let me introduce you, this is Princess Changsi of the Guang'an Marquis Mansion. She is the one who has come to vouch for you."
Boyi glanced at Yu Aning, who was standing blankly outside the door, with a look of surprise that didn't seem to be disguised. It seemed that he really didn't know the princess.
Yu Anning had just approached and only glanced at Boyi, then she was frightened by the murderous aura around him and took a few steps back, not daring to look over again.
In this dangerous situation, she could not forget to whisper in her heart: She is beautiful, but too sharp. Jade Qiansi is more to her liking.
She woke up early this morning and was about to come to Yu Qiansi, but she learned that she had received a letter from Nan'an County and came to question Boyi. Fearing that something had changed, she immediately came to the rescue. Unexpectedly, she heard such a
information.
It wasn't until he heard his name that Yu Anning came back to his senses.
How could Boyi be the murderer of Butler Yu?
Nowadays, I don’t care whether she is beautiful or not.
He walked a few steps and said hurriedly: "I can prove that he is not a thief, let alone a murderer! I. I was behind the rockery at the time! I, I, I also heard Butler Yu singing something, something like 'Don't ask about the return date'
Waiting for good news! He was still alive at that time!"
Yu Qiansi sighed softly, she could not always be cruel to the little princess in front of her, so she had to follow the temptation.
"The princess is hiding behind the rockery, but has she seen with her own eyes who the old housekeeper is with?"
This question was asked very skillfully. Yu Anning was afraid that she would delay Boyi by talking nonsense, so she had to tell the truth.
"I didn't see it. But I definitely heard it. First he was talking to a man, then there was a fire, and there were a lot of movements outside the wall. Then there was the sound of old housekeeper Yu singing."
"The princess did not see it with her own eyes, but only heard similar sounds. It is naturally possible that the murderer had killed the old housekeeper at that time, and then escaped over the wall and was captured by me on purpose. The accomplices inside the wall could take advantage of this opportunity.
Imitate the voice of the deceased to create an alibi for him."
Yu Anning saw that Yu Qiansi's words were getting more and more outrageous, and every word had a meaning. She pointed at Boyi and said angrily: "Why don't you believe what I say! Why should I help him lie to you? I don't know him."
!”
Yu Qiansi squinted her fox eyes, concealing her shrewdness, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Since the princess doesn't know this person, why should she vouch for him?"
Yu Anning's anger was mostly extinguished in an instant, and she froze on the spot with her mouth open, her head blank. Looking at Yu Qiansi's playful expression, and then looking at Boyi who frowned and said nothing, she suddenly felt flustered.
Although she was public and domineering, she was in the Guang'an Marquis' Mansion and knew the relationship between various aristocratic families and the court. Although it was just her own guess at the moment, she must not let anyone in the Duke of Qi's Mansion know Boyi's identity.
Thinking of this, his eyes flickered and he said perfunctorily: "I just thought that maybe he knew something and could help me."
Just at this moment, the wind brought two things.
After Yu Qiansi received Lin Shen's urgent letter this morning, he ordered Wuya Wei to go to Yuli Pavilion early in the morning to find a letter of entrustment. It was the letter that Yu Anning hurriedly handed over to Yuli Pavilion last night.
The other official document was the receipt sent to the palace last night.
Yu Qiansi was silent for a moment, and then opened the receipt first. The red lacquer and royal brush on it were all the thoughts of the saint. It seemed that the road from top to bottom was dead. Then he opened the letter of entrustment, and there was no word on it.
If she realized something, the depression she felt when she was rejected immediately disappeared, and she burst out laughing in her heart: Luck is such a hard-to-explain matter, but she didn't expect that this time things would turn out differently.
Perhaps not only can we get information related to Qingyuan from Boyi's mouth, but we can also easily figure out what the Guang'an Marquis Mansion is doing.
What good luck!
"The princess's various behaviors in Wuyasi from last night to now, whether she forced herself in or made extraordinary moves, are probably all to attract my attention."
Yu Qiansi raised the blank letter of entrustment in her hand, "So the princess deliberately caused trouble last night for this reason?"
Yu Anning was startled, but couldn't help but ask: "How did you know that I had been to Yuli Pavilion?"
Last night, Yu Qiansi felt strange when he saw Lin Shen saying that the princess was lost.
"The capital is not far from Nan'an County. The princess left early yesterday morning, but arrived at the Criminal Division just before the curfew. She must have done something in the meantime. You were dressed in mourning clothes yesterday, covered with mud, but the mud and dirt are
There is a big difference between mud and dirt."
Yu Anning thought about what she wore yesterday. What was the difference?
Yu Qian smiled wildly and said: "Yesterday, your front and sleeves were covered with patches of mud, but your back was covered with dots of mud and some water marks. You should have left Nan'an County lying down in a car selling fresh fruits and vegetables.
Therefore, the front and back of the body are covered with mud stains from fruits and vegetables. Only the stains on the skirt behind the back are only black and gray water stains, but no mud spots. This can only be because you arrived in the capital and walked on the bluestone in the middle of the capital. But
It didn't rain yesterday. Although there are bluestones in the capital, there are only a few big temples that are willing to work hard to clean the roads every day.
But I thought that the princess’s relatives had just passed away and she was so worried that she didn’t have the time to go to the temple to pray for gods and Buddhas, right? Therefore, she could only go to Yinlong Temple, ask for the Buddhist amulet from Master Jingkong, and then go to Yuli Pavilion to ask for my help.
"
After all this, Yu Anning had already understood Yu Qiansi's intelligence, but because of this, she felt that she had made the right choice, and she might be able to give her a try.
After making up his mind, he knelt down and said firmly: "That's right!"
"Yu Anning of the Marquis of Guang'an Mansion asked the owner of the Jade Hall to thoroughly investigate the death of the old lady of the Marquis of Guang'an Mansion! There is no way that my grandmother died suddenly of serious illness. She must have been killed! Please help me find the murderer! An Ning went through fire and water.
Don’t hesitate!”
Yu Anning's mother died in a bandit disaster ten years ago in the suburbs of Beijing. Before the old man's body was cold, the Marquis of Guang'an married his sister-in-law. For Yu Anning, with her stepmother, she also had a stepfather, not to mention his father himself.
She doesn't like that she is a woman. If her grandmother hadn't shielded her from the wind and rain, she might have died long ago. Her grandmother is her only relative in this world. Although she is old, she pays most attention to rest and health.
He has always been fine, so why did he suddenly become ill? What’s more, Mr. Zhang was also in Bieyuan that day, so there must be something wrong with it!
Seeing the princess's great courtesy to Yu Qian, she not only accepted it as a matter of course, but Suifeng on the side also looked calm and composed. Boyi frowned deeply. When the princess asked her to kneel down, she knelt down without even raising her eyelids. It was obvious that she
Extremely arrogant!
Yu Qiansi pondered for a long time and said slowly: "The old lady is a member of the imperial court. Although I don't understand the rules of high-ranking families like you. But I think that being killed by imperial imperial ministers and dying of illness are completely different things."
Boyi, who had been silent with his eyelids drooped, suddenly looked at Yu Qiansi when he heard this: "Yu Siyin hasn't explained yet, how did I become a murderer?"
Yu Qiansi glanced at Boyi with some annoyance: He was smart enough to understand what he meant.
Yu Qiansi said angrily: "Of course new evidence has been discovered." He turned to ask Yu Anning and said: "Princess, is there a huge copper watch in the yard where Yu Ren's accident happened?"
Boyi seemed to be struggling to remember.
Yu Anning nodded immediately: "Yes, that's right, there is a big leak. Old Butler Yu lives there just to maintain that leak."
"It is said that the leaky one is covered by a round copper tube from top to bottom. It is only revealed at the current moment."
"That's right. Every day at 9 o'clock, all the water in the leak will be poured into the pond, and then the leak will be reset. At that time, a huge bell will sound. The whole Nan'an County will hear it."
"That's right. Last night Lin Shen led people to search for the point of fire in the courtyard. Just after Xu Shi, he found that the connection between the characters "Xu" and "Hai" was even more exposed, and a piece of it was tied and burned.
Half of the cotton thread was soaked with kerosene. It was consistent with the traces found at the fire scene. Someone should have killed the old housekeeper at the intersection of Youshi and Xushi, and then used the leak to fake the scene and create a fire. Then everyone
I mistakenly thought that the old housekeeper was burned to death."
In other words, people die at the intersection of Youshi and Xushi. In this case, the old man's voice they heard at Xushi was definitely not the old housekeeper.
