Zhang Jingshu turned to look at Mrs. Hou Anyi: "Mrs. Hou is asking you something."
Mrs. Sun Er didn't hear a word and looked at Mrs. Anyihou with an embarrassed look: "Madam, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. An Yihou didn't care about this and repeated: "I just asked the second wife if everything at home has been settled? Is the second master going to be sent back to the clan for burial?"
Mrs. Sun Er nodded: "Yes... I want to go back, but the top priority is to catch the culprit. I heard that something happened to the Xu family a few days ago. Fortunately, Mr. An Yi and his wife are safe."
Without waiting for Madam An Yihou to speak, Mrs. Sun Er continued: "It's all thanks to Madam having a good daughter."
Mrs. Sun's second wife spoke smoothly, but her heart was unavoidable. She was actually in such a situation and wanted to please the Anyi Hou Mansion.
The Sun family and the Zhang family were related by marriage, and Marquis Anyi had disagreements with the Zhang family in the court, and they fought overtly and covertly. Without military power, Marquis Anyi acted like he was not stingy, which really caused a lot of trouble for the Zhang family.
If she hadn't wanted to seek medical treatment urgently, she would never have come to visit her.
Just thinking about it, she felt extremely aggrieved to bow her head to such a declining noble family.
Mrs. Sun's second wife's nose became sour, and she burst into tears.
Zhang Jingshu kept looking at the door. Xu Qinghuan didn't know what kind of Joe he was holding, but he hadn't shown up yet. His aunt spent money on the jailer and asked him to interrogate the two thieves. She knew that the person who led them to tell the truth that night was
Xu Qinghuan.
After her aunt knew the truth, she had to come and see Xu Qinghuan to feel at ease.
In fact, according to her wishes, her aunt didn't need to spend so much effort. The last time she asked Xu Qinghuan about Miss Wang, Xu Qinghuan couldn't tell her anything.
If it weren't for her cousin's sake, she wouldn't have accompanied her aunt on this trip. She felt heartbroken when she thought about her cousin's filial piety, but the white clothes made her look even more elegant, making her look like a mountain in the sky.
Like a snow lotus, there are so many children from wealthy families in Beijing, but none of them are as good-looking as my cousin.
"The eldest lady is here." The maid's voice interrupted Zhang Jingshu's thoughts.
Mrs. An Yihou's face was full of smiles, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become warmer, which swept away the sorrow brought by Mrs. Sun Er.
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Sun Er said hurriedly: "Miss Xu is really getting more and more beautiful. Looking like this makes people more happy than anyone else."
The hairs all over Zhang Jingshu's body stood on end. She had known for a long time that her aunt had a good tongue. She could talk to people and tell ghosts. If she didn't have such ability, how could her aunt remarry to the Sun family after she was annulled.
But even though I was prepared in my heart, it still feels uncomfortable to listen to my ears now. With her here, what does Xu Qinghuan mean?
In the future, when her mother honors the world, Xu Qinghuan will kneel in front of her to salute. As long as she is not satisfied, Xu Qinghuan can be made to kneel down.
Zhang Jingshu raised her chin slightly, with a contemptuous smile on her face.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Did Mrs. Sun come here just because of the two thieves my brother caught last night?"
Mrs. Sun Er raised her head and said, "If it was just a normal matter, I wouldn't dare to come and trouble Miss Xu."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Sun Er and saw that her eyes were sunken and she looked indescribably haggard. There was a sense of fear in her expression. It was obvious that she was not only sad about the death of Mr. Sun Er, but also worried about her own safety.
Xu Qinghuan said calmly: "I heard that Huang Qinghe, the general judge of Shuntian Prefecture, solved the case like a god. Didn't Mrs. Sun Er ask Mr. Huang about the case?"
"I asked," Mrs. Sun Er said more eagerly, "but I don't think the yamen has thought about it at all. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find clues for a while."
"It's only been one day," Xu Qinghuan said, "Second Madam is waiting with peace of mind. There is no telling that good news will come soon."
But Mrs. Sun Er shook her head: "I...I'm afraid that the murderer will attack again before they find it," she said, looking at Xu Qinghuan closely, "Miss Xu, I just want to ask you when I come here this time.
Those two people are indeed little thieves? Is it possible that they joined forces with the murderer to kill my master? "
Xu Qinghuan seemed a little surprised: "Why did the second wife see you?"
"Because they have my master's purse in their hands."
"What kind of certificate is this?"
"Because..." Mrs. Sun Er swallowed and looked at Miss Xu's clear eyes. She had the urge to tell everything that had happened so far. Only in this way could she feel better, "Because every day
Every time this murderer kills someone, he will take something away. The next time he kills someone, this thing will appear... on the next person he wants to kill."
Zhang Jingshu couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. Her aunt must be crazy. How could such a thing happen?
"Everything I said is true." Mrs. Sun Er also told these words to the people in the yamen, but the people in the yamen just wrote down her words in the document and there was no follow-up. It seemed that she was the only one in the world.
She was in a hurry, and just thinking about it made her restless.
Mrs. Sun Er continued: "When my husband was found, he only lost his wallet. Now this wallet is found in the hands of two thieves. They...could they be the murderers?"
Although Xu Qinghuan didn't know why Mrs. Sun Er was so sure, she already understood Mrs. Sun Er's purpose of coming this time. Mrs. Sun Er must have told Huang Qinghe these words. Mrs. Sun Er believed that as long as the Yamen started from here, the case would definitely be solved.
improvement.
Judging the case relied on solid evidence. Huang Qinghe could only promise to do everything according to the rules and take time to solve the case. However, Mrs. Sun Er was overwhelmed by fear. Every moment of waiting was torture for her. There was no news from the court.
, she was afraid that the court would let the murderer go because of negligence.
So even though she didn't trust the Anyi House, Mrs. Sun still came to the door, hoping that she could help the Yamen find some clues. As long as one more person participated in the case, it would be more likely to catch the murderer. Mrs. Sun
It will also feel a bit safer.
Xu Qinghuan's eyes were clear, and Mrs. Sun's current state was the best time for her to understand the entire case.
"What is the basis for what Second Madam said?" Xu Qinghuan said, "If you don't explain it carefully, I won't be able to take action."
Looking at Xu Qinghuan, Mrs. Sun Er swallowed a gulp and began to tell the whole story.
The murderer took the jade pendant from Mr. Sun's body and the fan pendant from Mr. Yan.
If the two thieves had nothing to do with the murderer, it seemed that the murderer had not taken anything from Mr. Sun Er.
Will everything end here?
Xu Qinghuan thought for a moment, raised her eyes and said, "Second Madam, what kind of business does Mr. Yan do?"
"I don't know what to do." Mrs. Sun Er's eyes flickered.
Xu Qinghuan asked: "Is it buying and selling jade?"
Mrs. Sun Er nodded: "That's natural. The Yan family started out by selling jade." She suddenly covered her mouth. Could it be that the murderer had already figured out who he would kill since he took the jade away.
"But why do you want to take the fan pendant from Master Yan? What does this have to do with my master?" Mrs. Sun Er's face turned pale.
Xu Qinghuan said: "The murderer may not always be able to find the exact object to indicate who is the next person he wants to kill."
The fan pendant is just a decoration.
Perhaps to the Zhang family, the Sun family has always been just a decoration.
Mrs. Sun Er's fingers trembled slightly: "If the master's wallet was not taken away by the murderer, then... does that mean that the murderer will not kill anyone again?"
"Maybe the murderer has taken away the things." Xu Qinghuan raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Sun Er.
"What?" Mrs. Sun Er's voice was hoarse.
"Tongue, Mr. Sun Er's tongue."
Mrs. Sun Er felt an inexplicable fear pouring over her, and she slumped in her chair.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Jingshu stood up, "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense. This is simply nonsense. She is deliberately trying to scare you again."
Tongue.
Mrs. Sun Er still wanted to speak, but her vision turned black, and then she felt a pain in her chest and she fainted.
"Here comes someone," Zhang Jingshu shouted loudly, "Quick...quick...go find the doctor, Miss Xu scared my aunt to faint."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Jingshu saw Xu Qinghuan pick up the tea bowl, raise her hand, and pour all the tea over.
Tea poured on Mrs. Sun's face, and she immediately made a "gurgle" sound in her throat.
