Although the Sheng Mansion occupies an area of less than 100 acres, it has a smaller population. Since the three daughters got married and the elders were sent abroad, they all share the main courtyard where Sheng Hong and his wife and several aunts live, the courtyard where Chang Feng and his wife live, and the Shou'an Hall. , the three babies all live with their parents.【叶*】【*】^/Very Literary/^
Because Changdong was getting older, Sheng Hong allocated the small courtyard where Mo Lan originally lived to him (if you want to move Rulan and Minglan's courtyard, it depends on the expressions of the old lady and Wang), and there are still many empty houses. .So it would not be difficult for Minglan to find a secluded place with few human traces for interrogation.
Aunt Kang was dragged for a long distance by the two women. She was dizzy and arrived at a row house. She vaguely remembered that this place was used to store debris. The two women carried her around a few turns, and then huddled in it. There was a small room in the house. Mrs. Kang Wang wanted to curse and beat the two women, but her lower jaw was dislocated and her whole body was so weak that she could neither scream nor break free. When she was full of resentment, she heard a sound and looked up. When she took a look, she saw her nemesis walking into the house slowly.
Xiaotao took a spoon and placed it on the open space. Minglan slowly sat down. Several burly men dragged four servant girls in from the outside and led them to kneel side by side in front of Minglan. These servant girls were dressed in messy clothes, with their hands and faces There were quite a few scars on it, showing that they had struggled before. Then a woman with a sharp tone was restrained and shouted angrily: "We are from the Kang family. My aunt doesn't know what it means. It's just that my wife is at odds with her." There is no reason to take it out on us..."
Tu Hu slapped him across the face and shouted: "You can only speak when I ask you to!"
The woman's face immediately swelled up to half her height. She coughed and vomited out half a mouthful of blood, with a few teeth mixed in. She burst into tears. The three servants next to her were silent, shrinking and not daring to struggle.
Minglan raised her head and said, "I'll help you, Mr. Tu." This was a very powerful move. He really knew the secrets of interrogation.
Tu Hu grimaced and cupped his fists.
Minglan turned back and said bluntly: "My old lady is sick, and it was your wife who poisoned her. I invite a few of you here today to talk about this matter."
The expressions of these four people all changed drastically. Two were more shocked, two more fake. Their eyes rolled a few times. Aunt Kang's expression in the small cubicle also changed greatly. These four servants were all her confidants. , two of them do know about the poisoning, and the other two can only vaguely grasp the outline.
The four of them looked at each other for a long time, and a kind-faced woman was encouraged by her companion's eyes and forced a smile: "My Buddha, please don't make a mistake. How could our wife do such a big thing..."
Tu Hu slapped her hard again, and the woman's mouth was immediately covered with blood. She covered her face and sobbed. The doors and windows in the room were tightly closed, and only a few beams of light came in. In the darkness, Tu Hu's face was reflected His face was as scary as a ghost, and he said coldly: "Don't you understand? I asked you to speak before you were allowed to speak."
The four women's faces turned pale with fright, and their bodies were shaking like chaff. No one dared to speak freely.
Minglan's heart was as solid as stone, and she was unmoved at all: "The Sheng family is going to confront your wife, so I'm troubling everyone. (·~) Please tell me everything related to this matter, whether it's a stitch or a thread. I will be richly rewarded when you come back."
The four of them were quiet. After a while, a young daughter-in-law slowly straightened her back. She was the calmest among the four so far. She said proudly: "My wife has been so kind to us that it is hard to repay it! You want us to covet you." Yin falsely accuses his wife, but that is absolutely impossible!"
Minglan clapped softly and said with a smile: "Well done, what a loyal servant!" Then she raised her voice and said, "Come here, bring me here."
Two guards came in carrying Qian's mother, who was half dead, and threw it on the ground. The four maids looked at it together, and saw that Qian's mother had several fingers on each hand that were bloody and bloody, and their hearts suddenly started beating wildly.
Tu Hu pointed at Qian’s mother and said, “I pulled out four nails and said everything.”
Minglan said coldly: "The Sheng family has been bullied to the extreme. To be honest, your wife will never want to go back again..." Upon hearing this, Aunt Kang inside was shocked.
"If you are willing to talk it out, I will tell you to go back in full, and I will also give you a silver reward, which is quite a shock. If not..." Minglan's tone changed, and she turned around and said, "Master Tu, don't do it.
It's too rough to carry and it won't look good when you carry it out."
Tu Hu grinned and said, "Madam, don't worry, no skin or flesh will be hurt. I have plenty of ways to make sure they die or survive."
The four servant girls were paralyzed with fear.
——At this time, a low male voice suddenly came from outside: "Madam, I'll be back soon."
Minglan recognized the voice of Tu Long and quickly asked someone to open the door. She saw Tu Long and several other guards coming in carrying three twisting sacks. They slammed the sacks on the ground and then bent down to untie them.
The rope at the mouth of the bag slowly revealed the people inside the sack. Everyone in the room looked and saw that the three people were tied tightly and their mouths were stuffed with cloth.
The young daughter-in-law exclaimed: "Manager Qi! Manager Qi Er... Manager Song..."
Minglan smiled and said: "Master Tu is so skillful that he came back so quickly."
Tu Long pointed at Manager Song and said, "I made some inquiries and found out that this guy is one of the most famous people in front of Mrs. Kang's family, so we simply captured him together."
According to Minglan's instructions, the Liu Kun family went to commit fraud and went directly to the concierge to find Qi's mother's two sons. They only said that Wang had passed out and the Sheng family was in chaos. Aunt Kang's trustworthy manpower was not enough.
She was specially asked to call the Qi brothers to help.
The Sheng family is rich and well-off, and in times of chaos, it is a good thing to take advantage of it at will, and everyone is excited. However, Liu Kun's family said that Aunt Kang only wanted to be the most trustworthy, and the Dragon Slayer and several others pretended to be servants of the Sheng family, and coaxed them to do so.
Made them believe it.
As soon as the Qi brothers and Manager Song walked out of the door, they ordered a sack to cover their hoods and loaded them into the carriage.
Minglan pointed at these three people and said to the four of them: "If you don't tell them, they will definitely tell them." At that moment, the two women looked at each other, their expressions changing.
"It's done, you go and do your work." Ming Lan looked calmly, then turned to Tu Long and said, "Is one day enough?"
Tulong glanced at the few people huddled on the ground, and said with a smile: "It will only take three or two hours, make sure they spit out everything!"
Minglan pointed to the arrogant young daughter-in-law just now and said to Tu Hu: "As for this loyal one, please ask the second master to do it himself." The more loyal you are, the more you probably know.
Tu Hu laughed and mentioned the daughter-in-law: "Because of his own evil heart, he poisoned a kind old man. Bah, the corrupt official's dog legs are still loyal! OK! I want to see, it's my old butcher
Her methods are tough, but her bones are tough!"
The daughter-in-law's face was ashen, full of pain, and she was biting her lip. Several people on the ground were terrified. One daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and fainted from fright. Then the guards dragged them out one after another.
.
After everyone was gone, Aunt Kang was pulled out of the small cubicle by the two women. One woman stretched out her hand to lift Aunt Kang's chin, and the other helped loosen it a few times. Minglan stood up and looked at it with a smile.
Aunt Kang was leaning on the chair, half of her face was numb with pain, and she said hoarsely after a while: "Okay, I underestimated you! I didn't expect that there is such a famous person like you in the Sheng family? I'm in trouble this time!" She said
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I would come here to inspect and accept the fruits of victory, but instead I would become a meat bag and beat the dog with no return.
Minglan hated her to the core and dug her nails in her palms: "I should have thought of it as early as when my aunt sent my cousin to the Hou Mansion."
Kang Wang was trembling with anger, and she felt both hatred and regret in her heart. What she hated was that this person was so difficult to deal with, and what she regretted was why she hadn't been more careful. In fact, she didn't expect what would happen if someone noticed it, but she didn't think so.
Given the time, it should have been Wang's suspicion first, then his implication, and then a series of questioning...it should have taken at least a day or two before the attack started.
Unexpectedly, in just one night, this damn girl acted so quickly, arranged so carefully, and was so quick that she could be the first to do anything, kidnapping, defrauding, and doing everything - she was so bold that she was caught off guard.
This is not a lady from a deep boudoir, she is clearly Chen Li, a seasoned case handler! Who would have thought of that?!
"Don't think that just taking a few slaves is enough!" She said bitterly, "No one will believe it if you beat me to death! If you want me to confess, just dream! If you have the ability, just torture me! I want to see
, how do you explain to the Wang Jiakang family!"
Minglan laughed softly: "Who said I want you to confess? It doesn't matter whether you confess or not."
Aunt Kang was stunned for a moment, "You don't want me to confess? Then what do you want to do with me?"
"Whether you did it or not, you and I both know." Minglan said slowly with a gloomy face, "I only hate that I worry too much, thinking about the love between my brothers and sisters, and the kindness of the Sheng family in raising me. If
If I really dare to go all out, I would cut you three times and make six holes, hang you upside down under the beam and slowly drain out the blood, make you die of all the pain, then put a sack in a mass grave and feed it to the dogs!"
Aunt Kang's heart went cold when she heard this. She was frightened for a while, then she sneered and said: "Okay, get rid of me, kill the rest, and then my sister will be completely removed. You are not filial to your aunt!"
Minglan raised her eyebrows and said, "Who said I was going to let her go?" As for the few people under Aunt Kang who knew the information, there was no need for her to take action, as one of them would probably be more eager to keep silent.
Aunt Kang was stunned for a moment, then laughed like crazy: "Hahaha, silly girl, silly girl, you think that if you surrender your sister, you will be fine! You don't know that you have raised a wolf cub...!"
Minglan didn't want to listen to her crazy words anymore, so she just said calmly: "Two mothers, let's do it."
After receiving the order, the two women immediately took out a ball of cloth from a big bag on the ground and shook it gently. It turned out to be a gray and black coarse cloth half a foot wide and more than ten feet long. Aunt Kang looked panicked and hurriedly got up to run away.
A woman grabbed it and pressed it on a chair.
Then the two of them kept wrapping their hands, left and right, and tied the wide cloth strips flatly around her hands, feet, and body, and then continued to wrap them around people and chairs, and finally wrapped around the pillars, wrapping them around a full length.
dozens of layers.
Aunt Kang was firmly tied to the chair, her back pressed against the pillar, and her whole body was like a silkworm chrysalis. The coarse cloth was so strong that she couldn't even move a finger. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "What do you want to do? You, you, don't you want to?"
Torture me?!" He shouted loudly, but he was already timid.
Minglan looked left and right with satisfaction: "On the contrary, I'm afraid that my aunt won't be able to think about it and will hurt herself." If this damn woman dared to go out and hit her head or hurt herself, the following scene would not be easy to perform.
She turned around and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, mamas. The palace's methods are really amazing."
A woman said: "This is originally a trick spread in the palace. It is specially used to serve those ignorant nobles to prevent them from hurting themselves."
Aunt Kang was so angry that she opened her mouth to scream again. The woman beside her quickly stuffed a ball of rags into her mouth, and no sound came out.
Minglan nodded and ordered: "Give her some soup every two hours. She won't need to eat. Just leave her to her body." As long as she is not dehydrated, being hungry for a day is nothing.
The two women agreed and then sent Minglan away. Two guards were left at the door to watch so that they could take turns to rest.
It was almost noon, and all the kitchen attendants were in action. After Wang's strict restraint, no one dared to say a word, and no one dared to approach the row house in the back house. Wang was shocked and frightened, humming.
Jiji lay down back in the house, but Haishi was busy non-stop, not only taking care of everything in the house, but also preparing resting places and meals for the people coming from the Marquis' house.
She was cautious by nature, and she didn't even have a single question about all the abnormalities that started last night. She looked at the many guards who came out of nowhere, just like the servants brought by her sister-in-law to visit, and she looked amiable, gentle and gentle.
After working for a long time, until the sun turned west, she returned to her room to prepare some food. A daughter-in-law who had been waiting inside hurriedly walked out, leaned into Heishi's ear, and whispered in a low voice: "The person has been sent out.
Already."
Haishi breathed a sigh of relief, but asked again worriedly: "But those yellow wind horses that my mother-in-law brought?"
The daughter-in-law said: "Don't worry, grandma. One person and two horses will ride in turns. The journey will take most of half a day."
Haishi clasped his hands together and recited a Buddhist sentence, "God bless me, something happened to my family. I just hope that my uncle will arrive soon!"
…
The Sheng Mansion was extremely quiet that day. From a secluded row house behind the mansion, some screams and cries could be faintly heard. Following the direction of the wind, they could be heard indistinctly reaching the courtyard on the west side of the mansion.
Chang Feng raised his neck and looked out the window, murmuring: "Why has there been no sound for a long time?"
Mrs. Liu was sitting on the bed, teasing the child softly. Hearing the words, he raised his head and said, "My husband is really interesting. He rests uneasily when there is any sound, and he still misses him even when there is no sound."
Chang Feng smiled bitterly, walked to the bed and sat down, "My heart is scratching my head."
"I'm afraid the trial has already been concluded." Mrs. Liu tucked in the baby, picked up her daughter and coaxed her, and whispered, "Mr. sir, don't think too much about it. The less we know about this matter, the better. Until now, my father has not even half
This is what I said to my husband, I guess."
The little baby made a babbling sound, its pink little hands were shaking, and its big eyes looked straight at its father. Chang Feng was full of love and affection, so he reached out and hugged him, and said softly: "That's what mother said."
…
As the sun set and the moon rose, the night passed and the sky was slightly bright. A woman hurried to Shou'an Hall and whispered a few words to Fang's mother. Then Fang's mother walked to the door of the back room and said, "Girl, someone from the Wang family is here."
Minglan got up from the recliner and stretched: "Is there no one from the Kang family?" It was even better.
Mother Fang whispered: "There is only one young master from the Kang family, but many from the Wang family."
Minglan walked to the old lady's bed and saw that her complexion was gradually fading away, and she seemed to have a bit of blood, and she felt relieved. She felt happy and felt that she had strength all over her body, so she raised her voice and said, "Change my clothes for me."
Thinking of Xiao Tao's words last night, there was a smile in her voice, "Let my good aunt change her clothes too."
After spending the night covered in feces and drowning her, I started to get angry and ended her today.
