Chapter 4 The frame-up is coming

Liang Shengguang frowned, and Liang Ziyuan said hurriedly: "I have ordered people to search everywhere. As long as the murder weapon has not left the west courtyard, it will be found. Sister, don't be too sad yet."

He signaled his servants to help Mr. Zhou Liang aside. Ms. Zhou Liang was going crazy at this moment. No matter how much the servants pulled her, she would sit on the ground and cry and curse, which made her ears hurt.

If Mrs. Huo hadn't given a cold shout, I'm afraid the commotion would have continued, and then some people in the capital would have to secretly take issue with the Duke's education.

"Commander Liang, didn't you hear the steward just said that Zhou Dakun's clothes were disheveled and that he had sex with a woman before he was killed? What if you just searched for the murder weapon and couldn't find it? Why didn't you also search for the woman? Zhou Dakun's death might be the cause of death.

It has a lot to do with that woman."

Li Yan, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly came over and looked in the direction of Yun Jiu'an and Lu Xiaomo with unclear meaning, making Lu Xiaomo shiver for no reason.

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the noble ladies in the courtyard all looked at each other, feeling really annoyed that today's Qionghua Banquet had turned into such a heinous murder.

At the same time, I felt disdain in my heart. Although Zhou Liang married from the Duke of Rongguo, the Zhou family was not an honorable family in the capital, but just an idle petty official in an ordinary government office.

However, this time the Zhou family does not have a high official position, but a large reputation. Relying on the big tree of the Duke's Mansion, they often dominate the capital.

Especially Zhou Dakun, who has been pampered by the Zhou Liang family since he was a child. Not only did he bully the market and make a lot of money, but he also bullied men and women. I heard that his business hands extended to places outside the capital.

.

People like him only bullied ordinary people. And besides those money-grubbing maids, who else could he have fun with in the courtyard of this deep house? It couldn't possibly be any noble girl from today's family.

It's obviously a family scandal in the Duke's office, but he insists on detaining everyone here to investigate such scandalous matters. Isn't it too overbearing and unreasonable?

Liang Ziyuan also seemed to smell the dissatisfaction of the female relatives, but the matter had reached this stage, and it was Princess Lingxiang who proposed this, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"Manager Qiu, didn't you hear what the princess said? Why don't you quickly summon all the maids and maids in the west courtyard for interrogation?"

Just when Manager Qiu was about to respond, Li Yan smiled like a silver bell and said: "As an Eagle Guard, is this how Liang Qilang investigates cases? Didn't Zhou Dakun fall into the water before? The murderer stabbed him twice, and there was always some blood stains.

Why not check the clothes of everyone in this courtyard, and then check who has changed clothes in the west courtyard today. It is so simple, why bother with it?"

"The princess is right. The princess is still smart. Manager Qiu, you send people to check the men, and I will personally lead people to check the women. If I find out who is the bastard who harmed my son, I will definitely kill her."

Skin!"

Mrs. Zhou Liang suddenly jumped up, gritted her teeth, and regardless of Mrs. Huo's ugly face, she rushed towards the female family members with a few confidants.

All the ladies and ladies were shocked.

Isn't this move by the Duke of Rongguo an insult to them?

Even though they have great power, they are offending many officials in Pingjing City.

Yun Jiu'an and Lu Xiaomo, who were crowded among the crowd, secretly smiled at each other. They naturally knew that this was Li Yan's frame-up plan.

Based on the memory of the original owner, Yun Jiu'an could basically predict the murder that was going to happen in the West Courtyard.

When she thought about it carefully, the original owner's experience in the Duke's Mansion really made her sigh.

After Li Yan threatened her in the dark room, the original owner not only served Huo Hanxiang tea and agreed to be her concubine under the pressure of everyone, but after the murder happened, because she was afraid of Prince Chun's Mansion and Li Yan, she actually followed the instructions and insisted that she be her concubine. I once went to the lotus pond with Lu Xiaomo, but then left because of something else.

Immediately after Lu Xiaomo was pushed into the water, the clothes she had changed out of were found, and the murderous dagger was also found in the clothes she had hidden. What's more, her clothes were splattered with blood.

Under the overwhelming evidence, Lu Xiaomo was not only slandered as a murderer, but also slandered as a loser of chastity and immorality...

If this murder case had not triggered more cases later, and Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion, Honglu Temple, Ministry of Punishment, and Huaiyang Mansion jointly investigated the case, the truth of this matter would not have been revealed. .

But so what if the truth is revealed, Lu Xiaomo's reputation has been ruined, the Lu family and the Liang family have turned against each other, and even Lu Zhaoyi and the eleventh prince, who are in the deep palace of the Lu family, have suffered a lot of neglect because of this, laying the foundation for the Lu family's future decline. The root of the problem.

The original owner felt guilty for slandering Lu Xiaomo afterwards, and until her death, she deeply regretted that she had pushed Lu Xiaomo into the abyss...

It can be said that if today's matter is not handled well, Lu Xiaomo and the Lu family will decline as a result - one of the few families in the world who treat the original owner well will make the same mistake again.

Now that God has allowed her to live a new life in place of the original owner, how can she just watch the tragedy happen again?

On the lawn of the west courtyard were parked the carriages of ladies and ladies from various mansions. When they first entered the mansion, all the carriage drivers did not need to be fed, and they were invited to drink tea by the servants of the mansion.

Therefore, almost no one can be seen in the side courtyard now.

When Lu Xiaomo's personal maid, Ling Dang, arrived at the side courtyard quietly and tactfully, concealing her figure, she carefully looked around and around, and after making sure that no one was there, she quickly moved towards her carriage.

When she climbed onto the carriage, she brought the wet goose-yellow dress and satin embroidered shoes piled in the corner in front of her - these were changed by Lu Xiaomo after he was accidentally knocked into the water by a little maid while watching fish.

She opened the wrapped dress and actually saw a foot-long bloody dagger wrapped inside!

Miss Yun Wu knows things like a god.

She said that someone wanted to blame Zhou Dakun's death on the girl today, and wanted to give the girl a bad reputation. The evidence was that the murder weapon was found in her carriage, and the wet clothes and blood stains on the clothes fell into the water at the same time as the deceased, and the murderer was killed with two stabs. irrefutable evidence.

She gasped, these two things must not fall into other people's hands now.

She wrapped up her clothes and dagger again, and as soon as she jumped out of the carriage, she felt her neck tighten, and a hand like an iron hoop squeezed her throat tightly.

At the same time, the things in her hands were robbed and she was thrown into the carriage.

Lingdang was so anxious that she grabbed her hands wildly. The person who came sneered, pinched her throat, and quickly dragged her behind the pile of debris on the side like a dead dog.

"What a shame! Who told you to act like this?" Liang Shengguang had been an official in Beijing for many years, and he would not have been instigated by Li Yan like Zhou Liang did. "Qingsu, go talk to Mother Liu." Check the maids in the West Courtyard, and no one else can be rude to the female guests here."

The Qingsu he assigned was actually the married daughter of Liang Shengguang's eldest brother Liang Shengyi. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was wearing a water-blue coat with two butterflies playing in the water. It was very close-fitting, making her already pointed cheeks look a little mean.
