Chapter 469 The death of Niu Rong

When the carriage arrived, there were already a circle of people in front of Kaifeng Mansion, and they were all holding peas and fried rice. It was just after the first month of the year, and I hadn't had enough snacks during the Chinese New Year yet!

People in this village have to farm in spring, think about farming, and people have to prepare for a trip to find flowers, and hesitate to have a banquet. Only the ordinary people in Tokyo are all small wealthy families. If you have nothing to do, wouldn’t you just stare at Kaifeng Prefecture and watch the fun?

"Auntie, what kind of case is it going to be cut off today! It's already begun, we're late!"

Xie Jingyi said, and Luther gave the aunt a handful of dried longans. When the aunt looked at it, she was immediately happy. Li Shanglian gave her a handful of fried soybeans. "Niu Yanei fell into the river and drowned yesterday. That was an amazing person."

"His grandfather is a soldier. Niu Yanei is very good at water. Not to mention the light skills, he floats on the water and crosses the river while stepping on driftwood. Maybe it's okay. How could he drown? I'm afraid he wasn't harmed!"

Xie Jingyi listened and distributed half of the fried soybeans to Guan Huizhi, "That may be because he drank too much. Yesterday it was the Spring Festival... During the holidays of the year, there were not a few ghosts who fell into the water."

Before the aunt could speak, an old man holding a bird cage next to him hurriedly said, "No, no! The coroner said, "No, no, no! You guys said nothing! Don't talk anymore, you shouldn't hear Master Qingtian's case!"

Xie Jingyi's eyes moved and she stuffed him a handful of red dates, "Sorry, we're late, I didn't listen."

Seeing her politeness, the old man touched his beard, "I think that person is the murderer!"

Xie Jingyi looked at him along his gaze and saw that the man was also looking at her, rolling his eyes decisively, "Which is that?"

The old man lowered his voice, "It's Niu Xiaoyanei's brother. Isn't it said in this play? Brothers are fighting for birth..."

Xie Jingyi smiled without saying a word, and she sounded carefully.

Now the one who was kneeling in the hall was the servant beside Niu Xu. The wailing servant they had just met yesterday, named Niu Shier.

"On the Lantern Festival yesterday, when our young master passed by the big skeleton teahouse, he was hit on the head by Princess Shougao with wood, and the two almost started fighting. We chased Princess Shougao for several streets, but we didn't catch up... The young master was angry... angry..."

Huang Fuyin slapped the gavel with a bang, "Don't hesitate. What's the matter afterward?"

Niu Shier wiped his tears, "Young Master, go..."

He said, secretly looking at a beautiful woman sitting aside and crying uncontrollably, who was Niu Feng's mother.

"The young master went to Madam Hong's place."

Mrs. Niu was stunned and wiped her tears with a veil, "Which slut is Mrs. Hong?"

Niu Shier cried, "Miss Hong...Miss Hong is the outer room that the young master raises outside. Madam, Madam Hong is Hong Baoling."

Mrs. Niu suddenly stood up and glared at Niu Shier, "No..."

Before she could finish her words, Huang Fu Yin slapped the arbor again, "Mrs. Niu, you are very sad when you send a black hair man to the black hair man. This man can understand it, but the coroner has found out that Niu Huo was poisoned with arsenic and threw it into the river. It belongs to the killing of him. This case is a life lawsuit, and it belongs to Kaifeng Prefecture. Although Niu Shier is your Niu family servant, he is also a crucial witness in this case."

"If you dare to intimidate witnesses again, then this mansion will punish you for disrupting the court."

As he said that, he glanced at Xie Jingyi, then looked at Niu Shier, "So, is Hong Baoling the last person to see Niu Su?"

Niu Shier nodded, "Then Hong Baoling is the daughter of a criminal. In his early years, his wife intended to tell Hong Baoling to be a wife to my son. Later, the Hong family was in trouble, and Hong Baoling originally wanted to be a military prostitute."

"But the young master had friendship with her, so he tampered with it, saved Hong Baoling and kept him in a separate courtyard. He said... When Hong Baoling gave birth to a son, he begged his wife to give her an identity and marry her home."

Niu Shier said, glanced at Mrs. Niu, and continued, "Hong Baoling just gave birth to a daughter for the young master at the end of last year. The young master turned around and went to Furong Lane without chasing Princess Shougao."

"As soon as I entered, Hong Baoling had a big fight with the young master. She also said that if the young master gave her a defeat, she would kill the young master. The young master advised the young master to go back home, but the young master refused. Instead, he said that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would ask me to go home and eat dumplings with my grandmother, and wait until the next morning to pick him up."

"When he lived in Furong Lane, he often didn't want me to serve him. Yesterday, I was fifteen...I...I was wrong. If I hadn't left, our young master might not have died."

Niu Shier said, wiped his tears and kowtowed to Mrs. Niu, "I went to pick up the young master early this morning, but I didn't want to pass by the river, and saw a bunch of people surrounding a corpse. When I leaned over, I saw my young master... Young Master! Young Master!"

The Huang Fu Yin slapped the auspicious tree, and the yamen runner knocked on the killing stick, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Go to Furong Lane and bring Hong Baoling up," said Huang Gongyin, and looked at Niu Shier again, "Does Niu Xun have enemies on weekdays?"

Before Niu Shier could speak, a yamen runner hurriedly walked in, "Sir, don't mention Hong Baoling anymore. Someone just reported the case and said that there was a lady Hong in Furong Lane who committed suicide by jumping into the well. The body was discovered by the chef at home."

He said, and led a woman with a low eyebrows and pleasing eyes to the eye. The woman was wearing a blue flowered cloth jacket, obviously in a terrifying mood.

When he saw the Huang Fu Gong, he was even more frightened and kowtowed a few times, "Minister woman Zhao Xiaoli is a servant at Miss Hong's house, mainly doing kitchen work. Early this morning, she wanted to get up to make food for her wife and go to the well to fetch water."

"But I found... I found out that my wife had jumped into a well. Sir, I don't know what's going on. Mrs. Hong wears gold and silver, is young and has just given birth to a child. I don't know why she wants to die!"

Huang Fu Yin frowned, "Did you see Niu Lu at Miss Hong's house last night?"

Zhao Xiaoli nodded, "I have seen it, I prepared wine and food for you, and then took the child away. My house lives not far from Furong Lane. Niu Yanei doesn't like the child always crying, saying that he is so annoying. When he comes, Miss Hong asked me to carry the child home."

"I took the child away and came back the next morning to make the court food... I don't want to... Sir, Sir, I really don't know what's going on!"

Xie Jingyi listened with relish and took out a handful of chestnuts and handed them to Guan Huizhi beside her.

Guan Huizhi raised Xie Jingyi's sleeve in surprise, "Is your sleeve a mouse hole? How can you hold such food?"

Xie Jingyi shook her hands, "I'm thin!"

Guan Huizhi rolled her eyes speechlessly.
