chapter Five

Outside the door of the mansion, a group of people were arguing and arguing until the government officials invited them in. The group started making noise as soon as they entered the lobby. Jiang Wu took a closer look and saw that it was the young woman he had seen during the autopsy.

The little woman pulled a younger woman, and the two struggled and struggled all the way to the front of the hall.

Jiang Wu saw that both of them had women's hair, and he guessed that Li Jiaojiao's biological mother had discovered some clues.

Sure enough - the two of them started quarreling as soon as they entered the hall. On one side, the woman in purple clothes said that the person in pink clothes next to her was the murderer. According to their conversation, it was known that the woman in purple clothes was named Rong, and she was Li Jiaojiao's biological mother, and the woman in pink clothes was the biological mother of Li Jiaojiao.

Her surname is Liu, another concubine of Master Li.

Strangely enough, I saw these two people having a huge quarrel, but no other members of the Li family came forward.

Aunt Rong said: "Yesterday, she asked Jiaojiao to go to her yard and said that she wanted to give some gold and jade gifts. Then Jiaojiao followed her out and never came back. She said that Jiaojiao and several official ladies

Drink and come back later, but I kept watch all night last night and didn’t see Jiaojiao come back!”

If you observe carefully, you will find that Aunt Liu is even more charming. She is only in her mid-twenties, and her dress does not look like a married woman at all. As soon as she entered the door, she started to cry delicately.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she defended softly: "Sir, I am wronged. Yesterday, I indeed invited Jiaojiao to play in my Lanyue Pavilion. For my daughter's birthday a few days ago, Jiaojiao gave her a valuable set.

I thought it was time for Jiaojiao Shiliu to discuss the marriage, and I wanted to repay the gift of the pen wash, so I took the initiative to say that I would give her a gold jade head and face."

Fu Heng's eyes were deep and dark. If he were to talk about one family alone, they all seemed reasonable. He knew something about the Li family. Although Li Zhuo had only moved to the capital a few months ago, the Li family was one of the few families in the capital that was on the upswing.

Look, what happened in the inner house is no longer a secret.

Although Li Zhuo relied on his wife's nepotism to rise through the ranks, he spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife, and especially doted on Aunt Liu. This Aunt Liu was not a good person either. She was a thin horse in Yangzhou in his early years, and Li Zhuo was fascinated by her.

Su, Aunt Liu is also domineering in the house.

When Li Zhuo first entered the capital, someone gave him two dancing girls. As a result, the two dancing girls were carried out of the backyard with bruises all over their bodies the next day. It is said that Aunt Liu didn't like them, so she tortured them and threw them away.

Go out of the house.

And Aunt Rong's status in the mansion is very low. Li Zhuo doesn't think much of her. In the backyard of such a deep house, it seems that the relationship between the two aunts is not very good now. Why should Aunt Liu give her to her for no reason?

Li Jiaojiao gave her a valuable gold jade noodle. If it was just because Li Jiaojiao loosened the brush, the price difference between the noodle and the brush was several times higher.

Compared with Aunt Rong's despair, Aunt Liu seemed much more confident. She took out a written deed from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Fu Heng. Fu Heng sat upright and had no intention of coming down to take it, so a Yamen servant stepped forward to take it.

The book deed took it, unfolded it, and whispered: "Sir, this is the book deed of Jin Yutang. I bought a set of gold and jade noodles, worth one hundred taels of silver."

Because the stall owner had been secured first, Jiang Wu was now standing next to Fu Heng. When she heard the price, her little brain began to calculate silently. According to the calculation, one tael of silver is approximately 945 yuan, so this set of noodles

It’s almost... 100,000 yuan.

Disrespect, disrespect, ladies from wealthy families in ancient times could put their down payment on their foreheads.

Aunt Liu said sadly: "I know that my sister has always been resentful of me over the years and hates me for taking away the master's favor, but you shouldn't bite me like this. I went out to play with Jiaojiao yesterday.

, Later, when it was getting late, Jiaojiao said that she had made an appointment with some handkerchiefs to go to a restaurant for tea, and I couldn’t interfere with the party at their girls’ house, so she came back.”

At this time, the little girl standing next to Mr. Fu suddenly spoke. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes were gentle and clear. When she spoke, she was gentle and gentle, but her words were to the point: "I'm looking at you."

The relationship between the two ladies is average. If Aunt Liu was just doing it for favors, why would she give such an expensive gift? And I see that although Aunt Liu has applied makeup on her face, her eyes are red and bloodshot, so she didn't sleep last night."

Aunt Liu was startled. She didn't expect that she would be involved in this matter. She replied blankly: "My sleep last night was... not very peaceful."

Jiang Wu sighed softly: "Yes, the person you took out was not brought back. Didn't Mr. Li blame you last night? I'm afraid yesterday was not as peaceful as you said."

Everyone didn't understand why she said this, and they all looked at her in confusion. Only Fu Heng looked at Aunt Liu and said, "When did you separate from her?"

Aunt Liu's heart beat like a drum, and she tried her best to recall: "It seems... Haishi."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Rong shouted in a high voice: "You went back home when you were clearly in the garrison, and my Jiaojiao never came back after noon!"

Aunt Liu raised her head, a little panicked: "Yes, really? I can't remember clearly."

Fu Heng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "But Li Jiaojiao was already killed while guarding."

Aunt Liu's eyes widened, but strangely, she had no fear of being exposed. All the blood in her eyes was gone, and her eyes were blank: "But I saw her while I was guarding. She went to a restaurant.

"

According to Jiang Wu's inference, Li Jiaojiao died between seven and eight o'clock last night, which was the moment of garrison that Aunt Liu mentioned. However, Aunt Liu's appearance at this time did not seem to be fake. Could it be that she had seen a ghost?

Jiang Wu frowned and walked straight to Aunt Liu: "You don't have to be afraid, but you have to tell me where the wound on your back came from."

I saw four very obvious scratches on Aunt Liu's left shoulder. The scratches extended from the shoulder to the neck, and you could tell at a glance that they were scratched by human hands!

Although it was winter and should be hidden from view by her clothes, Jiang Wu found that her posture was a bit unnatural when she raised her hand. What's more, she and Aunt Rong had just pulled each other, and a few tiny marks were exposed on her neck.

Others may not be able to find it, but Jiang Wu can.

As if she had been struck by lightning, Aunt Liu burst into tears and was about to speak when a government servant hurriedly came in from outside the house. Jiang Wu saw the nervous pace of the government servant and guessed that something was wrong. As a result, she said directly to Fu Heng: "Sir, there is another incident in the woods to the south.

A body was found."
