In the early morning of the next day, the sky broke, and Xilin Villa woke up from the dark night, and the servants started another busy day!
Di Renjie finished washing, because he was anxious in his heart, so he had a tasteless breakfast. After the three of them ate breakfast hastily, Li Yuanfang made a cup of hot tea for Di Renjie!
Li Yuanfang said with concern: "My lord, it seems that your complexion is a bit unpleasant. Didn't you have a good rest last night?"
Di Renjie took the tea bowl in Li Yuanfang's hand, did not answer, gently put the tea bowl on the table!
Xiao Ying opened the mouth and said, "Old Ge, are you waiting for the news from this steward Tang a little impatient?"
Di Renjie nodded slowly, and slowly said, "The old case has not been solved, and the new case has appeared again. It is really a wave of unresolved waves. How can we not make people feel upset?"
Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "My lord, don't be too anxious. It's important to take care of your body!"
Di Renjie sighed and said: "The whereabouts of the Lord Tang and the owner’s wife Haitang are still missing. People have died in this villa, but this is not the most important thing. I am just worried that too much time will be involved in this case, Liu Maoyuan’s Things will be delayed!"
Xiao Ying persuaded: "Elder Ge, we have no clue about Liu Maoyuan's disappearance now. Besides, Di Chun and Changping are not idle and they are always looking for clues. Don't be too anxious!"
Di Renjie nodded and took a sip of tea. Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door!
"My lord, my lord, are you there?" It was the voice of the butler Tang Lu!
Li Yuanfang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's Steward Tang!"
Di Renjie raised his hand, Li Yuanfang and others were aware of it, and opened the door!
"Yeah, is General Li also here?" Butler Tang Lu said in a salute!
Li Yuanfang nodded in response, and let Tang Lu into the room. Di Renjie saw Tang Lu coming in, got up and asked, "Steward Tang, how is it? Did you find anything?"
Butler Tang Lu bowed and said: "My lord, the little one went to the Jinyuan Rice Store last night, and the shopkeeper said that Gou Er came to the Villa to deliver rice. He didn't return overnight and only returned to the Jinyuan Rice Store yesterday morning!"
Di Renjie's expression tightened after hearing this, twisting his beard for a moment, and then said: "So this maid Chunhong and this Gou Er are really suspicious! So, Yuanfang, you are now leaving for Shanyin County, Mingshan. The Yin county magistrate sent a quick arrest, led by you, to the Jinyuan Rice Store to arrest Gou Er! Steward Tang, you and my niece Xiao Ying will go to the maidservant
Nv Chunhong brought to the main hall of the villa, and this pavilion opened a case in this Xilin villa! "
"Yes!" the three answered in unison!
Di Renjie straightened his clothes, walked out of the room, and went straight to the main hall of the villa!
Not much time, Di Renjie came to the main hall to sit down, butler Tang Lu and Xiao Ying brought her maid Chunhong over. In order to prevent Chun Hong from escaping, Tang Lu also brought a group of families over, and the main hall was surrounded by water!
With a flustered face, Chun Hong came to the main hall. Seeing Di Renjie sitting in a precarious manner, with a compelling imposing manner and not anger or prestige, Chun Hong only felt that her legs were weak and could not stand. , Chunhong knocks on your lord!"
Di Renjie asked with a cold face, "Are you Chunhong?"
Chunhong nodded quickly and replied: "Yes!"
Di Renjie sternly shouted: "Bold Chunhong, can you convict?"
Chun Hong was frightened by Di Renjie's loud shout, shaking like chaff, repeatedly kowtowing: "The lady of the great people has been wronged!"
"Shut up!" Di Renjie yelled again, "Boldly spring red, if this pavilion doesn't have your evidence, would you be brought here? What you committed, hasn't it been recruited from the truth?"
Chun Hong cried and said, "My lord, the girl really doesn't know what crime she committed. It's really wrong!"
Di Renjie looked at Chunhong who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Okay, since you don't confess, the pavilion asks you whether you had a dispute with Xiaocui a few days ago, which led to a fight? ?"
Chunhong couldn't help but trembled, and quickly defended: "My lord Mingjian, the girl did quarrel with Xiao Cui, but it was Xiao Cui who beat the girl, and Xiao Cui's death has nothing to do with the girl? The girl was really wronged. , My lord is observant!"
Di Renjie sneered and said, "It doesn't matter? Then why did this pavilion hear that you told others that you would retaliate against Xiao Cui more than once?"
Chunhong was startled slightly, and said with tears: "My lord has been wronged, but the daughter of the people really didn't say to retaliate against Xiao Cui?"
"Oh? Even now, you still deny in every possible way? Okay, butler Tang, go and summon those maids who worked with Chunhong!" Di Renjie said loudly!
Chunhong, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Di Renjie's arrangement like this, her expression tightened and panicked!
After a while, the housekeeper Tang Lu brought a few maids over, and the maids knelt down and bowed, and said in unison: "Mindaughter, see the lord!"
Di Renjie looked at Tang
The maidservants Lu brought over asked Twisting: "This pavilion asks you, have you ever heard that Chunhong once said that he wanted this little Cui to look good?"
The maidservants looked at each other, Yu Guang glanced at Chunhong, hesitating not knowing how to speak!
Di Renjie shouted: "Frankly, if you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it, don't think about covering up, and don't frame it! Tell the truth, otherwise this cabinet will punish you as the same crime!"
The maidservants trembled all over, and one of the maidservants kowtowed: "In response to your lord, Chunhong did say this to us. Just after the two of them were fighting together, on our way back, Chunhong personally said, how many of us I heard it all!"
Several other maidservants also agreed. Chunhong looked at a few people angrily, but didn't dare to say anything!
Di Renjie nodded and asked, "Then tell me, what is the quarrel between Chunhong and Xiaocui, and why did Xiaocui fight Chunhong?"
The handmaid replied, "Going back to the lord, what happened is like this. That day we were doing laundry together in the backyard. Later, Xiaocui came. When Chunhong saw Xiaocui, she threw the clothes she was going to wash at Xiaocui’s. In the basin, Xiao Cui quit, Chun Hong said, you thought you were Madam’s maid? When you get there, you have to listen to me. If I let you wash, you have to wash, madam..."
The maid said halfway, and suddenly stopped. Di Renjie looked up at her and said, "Go on! There is a pavilion who is in charge of you, no one can do anything to you!"
The handmaid continued: "Chunhong said that the lady eloped with the young owner. There is a kind of maid for this kind of master. Will you also elope with a man someday? So Xiaocui eloped with Chunhong. After the quarrel, the more noisy the more fierce, and later Xiaocui beat Chunhong, and then Xiaocui returned to the room, Chunhong told us, Xiaocui, you wait for me, I must make you look good!"
"Chunhong! You are so bold! A maid dared to criticize the wife and the young owner. I think you are living impatiently!" Tang Lu, the housekeeper, scolded angrily!
Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Steward Tang, don't get angry, don't interrupt during this pavilion's trial!"
Butler Tang Lu quickly apologized, and bowed: "Yes! Your lord, the little one is abrupt!" After that, he stepped aside!
Di Renjie got up and walked in front of Chunhong, and asked, "Chunhong, now there is a personal testimony, what else do you have to say?"
Chun Hong knelt on the ground and didn't answer, but kept crying!
