"What happened?" Miss Li noticed Miss Yu San's strange behavior and immediately asked with concern.
Miss Yu San took the tea from Yuzhu and brought it to Miss Li: "Second Grandma, please have some tea." Then she sat on the chair next to her.
"It's nothing," Miss Yu San thought for a while before saying, "When I first came to the capital, I didn't think too carefully and was a little careless. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big disaster, so Second Mistress doesn't have to take it to heart."
Miss Li looked at the maid next to Miss Yu San. The maid was standing aside respectfully with her head lowered. Miss Li admired the Yu family's management skills in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Miss Yu San's delicate thoughts. If she guessed correctly,
, this matter should be related to Jiulang.
Miss Yu San didn't want to say that she was afraid that she would blame Jiulang. She was really wholeheartedly doing good for Jiulang. Miss Li knew this kind of thinking very well. She also thought of the second master in the same way back then.
The Yu family was well-connected, but they were able to propose marriage to the Li family. If Miss Yu San hadn't insisted on it, there wouldn't have been such a result. Unexpectedly, Jiulang made excuses to refuse. You can imagine what Miss Yu San's situation is like. Miss Yu San
Although he doesn't care on the surface, he must be very sad in his heart, and he tries his best to hide this emotion in front of others.
Miss Yu San knew that Jiulang liked Miss Xu. Even if Jiulang married Miss Yu San in the future, she would still settle for second best. Not to mention that the Yu family would feel uncomfortable, she would feel sorry for Miss Yu San.
"I just entered the city and had a quick meeting with Jiulang. I didn't have time to talk carefully," Miss Li said, "Is there any news from Beijing?"
Miss Yu San nodded: "Although Zhang Yuci has fallen, the Xu family is still investigating the case, and Miss Xu has other considerations."
Miss Li's eyes flashed with boredom, and then she deliberately pretended to be surprised: "It's not enough for her to make such a big fuss? What else should she do to take all the credit?" She has no contact with Xu Qinghuan.
, through these incidents, one can feel Xu Qinghuan's aggressive momentum.
Miss Yu San said softly: "Miss Xu's investigation is getting bigger and bigger, and now King Jian has been traced. Second Mistress, have you seen the cases investigated by Miss Xu? Now we know the ins and outs, but I still
It took me several days to figure it out. I have never seen such a smart female family member before."
There is nothing wrong with being smart, but self-righteous smartness is different. No matter where such a woman marries, she will be a disaster for her husband's family. She does not know the importance and cannot see the situation clearly, and will definitely drag her husband's family into the quagmire. The more Miss Li gets better,
Fa felt that Jiulang was a lucky man. If he really married Miss Xu, she would have eight pairs of eyes to stare at him.
"When we first came to the capital, we should try not to get involved in those cases," Miss Li promptly reminded Miss Yu San, "We can't tell the difference between good and evil, and we may be exploited by others. Just watch it when it's lively. Don't worry.
Don't get involved."
"Thank you, Second Grandma, for reminding me," Miss Yu San said, "Second Grandma is still thoughtful. This time we came to the capital not for a case, but for information. I also always remind myself that it is not good to abandon the beginning and chase the end, but...
…Second grandma should also be careful.”
Miss Yu San said and looked outside: "We have no intention of hurting anyone. We can't guarantee what other people will think. There may be spies inside and outside here."
Miss Li's heart sank. Miss Yu San was talking about Miss Xu? Miss Xu had noticed the Yu family and should have been staring at Jiulang. Did she really think she was smarter than anyone else? She was just waiting to see what would happen to Xu Qinghuan.
end.
…
Enter the village outside the city.
Xu Qing'an sent Wei E and Mr. Shen back to Zhuangzi. The difference was that they were accompanied by officials from Shuntian Mansion.
Wei E captured the Shen family manager and used it to force Mr. Shen. Xu Qingan happened to catch him. The evidence and witnesses were there. Xu Qingan felt that he could try the case without Huang Xiaoyu.
Wei E walked to the village and saw Prince Jian and the boxes and cages in the yard. Although he tried his best to hide it, he could still see worry and anxiety in his gloomy eyes, but it was only for a moment. Wei E
His expression of contempt returned again.
"In addition to pretending to be a woman, you have such a hobby, it's really annoying..." Xu Qing'an was embarrassed to say it. This Wei E was not a good person at first glance. It was also thanks to his sister, otherwise who would have discovered that Zhuangzi was
Hiding such a secret, I don't know how the masters in the palace feel when they are served by such people.
"Master," Qi Defang rushed over with Xu Qing'an. Although he was anxious, he still remembered that Miss Xu said that people should not be convicted casually before evidence was found. "We haven't verified it yet, so don't say anything yet.
"
Xu Qingan's eyes widened: "My eyes are sparkling now, and I am no worse than Master Huang. If Wei E is a good person, I will..."
When Xu Qingan said this, Wei E turned around and sneered sinisterly at him.
Xu Qing'an almost blurted out, but after thinking about it, it was better for him, even though he was very confident in himself: "Young master, just go out and have fun on the street with your butt naked."
As soon as Xu Qingan finished speaking, a series of laughter burst out from Wei E's throat.
"We found it," Meng Lingyun came to report. "There are some earthen jars buried in the northwest corner of Zhuangzi. Uncle Lei dug them out."
"I'll tell you." Xu Qing'an said proudly. If he had known that he would make a bigger bet, he would have missed the opportunity to show his pride.
Xu Qing'an had to take good care of Wei E and others and not leave at will. Qi Defang walked quickly to the northwest corner of Zhuangzi.
At this time, Uncle Lei had already taken out an earthen jar, slowly opened the lid, and looked inside.
"It's a bone," Uncle Lei said, "Ms. Chang should be taken over."
Xu Qinghuan looked at it carefully. It looked like the earthen jar had been buried for several years. The soil layer could be clearly seen in the pit where the jar was buried, which meant that no one had touched the jar recently.
Such evidence is very important. No one deliberately arranged it, and the real situation can be inferred from here.
"Do you want to invite Mr. Huang to come?" Uncle Lei stepped forward and asked.
Xu Qinghuan shook her head. She saw something seemed to be in the jar: "Let people lay out the tarpaulin and sheets, and Uncle Lei will slowly pour out the bones in the jar."
Feng Chu and others laid out the sheet and asked everyone present to cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels. Uncle Lei slowly picked up the jar and poured all the contents onto the sheet little by little.
There were bones and bone residue, as well as some burnt fragments, and in addition there was a purse.
Xu Qinghuan picked up the purse with a cloth on it.
The purse was somewhat corrupted, but it could still be seen that it was made very delicately. Xu Qinghuan carefully opened the purse, and vaguely saw a bracelet and some odds and ends inside.
"Then Wei E killed people and buried them here," Qi Defang said. "The boxes and cages contained the clothes and belongings of the people who were killed by Wei E. Wei E kept the things.
... Do you want to... miss me from time to time?
If this is the case, there must be similar jars here. How many people did Wei E kill?"
Xu Qinghuan put away the purse in her hand and looked at Uncle Lei: "Let's see how many similar pottery pots there are here." Opening another one, she might be able to determine what happened in this village.
