Han Zao's book boy is called Xiao Kui, and this nondescript name is still from Han Zao. He is only a few years older than Han Zao, and after being detained for a few days, he has become so skinny that he was so excited that he burst into tears when he saw Han Hui: " Eldest young master, you are here! The youngest is wronged, and the youngest did not kill the second young master! Please help me to intercede with Madam!"
Han Hui reassured him: "I know, don't worry, Madam is not in good health for the past two days, and we don't dare to stimulate her, you should be wronged first, stay here for a few days, I will let them bring you more food Come on, wait until Madam calms down a bit, then it will be all right. These two are adults sent by the imperial court, in order to investigate the case of Xiao Zao, you should cooperate more, and answer any questions truthfully, if you are innocent , these two adults will naturally give you justice."
Xiao Kui nodded again and again: "Yes yes yes! Little must know everything!"
Tang Fan said to him, "Tell me carefully about the whole process of going out with Han Zao that day."
Xiao Kui calmed down and thought about it for a while, then said: "That day, we went out as usual, Xiao Chan called the second young master to get up and waited for him to wash and eat, and I was waiting outside, about 3 minutes after Mo Yin came out. The door, the young master seems to be in good spirits, and there is nothing wrong with it. After leaving the door, the young master gets into the sedan chair, and I will follow..."
Tang Fan interrupted him: "Did you meet anyone before you went out?"
Xiaogu said: "Yes, I met Aunt Zhou."
Tang Fan: "Little Zhou? Your master's cousin? Be more careful."
Xiaogu said: "Yes, that's her. Aunt Zhou talked to the second young master for a while. The second young master eats fast, and his sleeves are a little wrinkled. Aunt Zhou also helped the second young master tidy it up."
Tang Fan said, "How is her relationship with your second young master on weekdays?"
Xiaogu said: "It's good, the second young master likes her very much, but the madam doesn't like Aunt Zhou, so the second young master is not allowed to go to her, and she also tells us to take care of the second young master at ordinary times."
This is the same as what Han Hui said.
Xiaogu said again: "But when I met Aunt Zhou, the second young master would still greet her. Aunt Zhou knew his wife's mental illness, so she did not specifically come to the second young master, but sometimes gave the second young master some gadgets when they met. ."
Tang Fan: "What gadget?"
Xiao Gao: "There is everything to eat and play, sometimes it's cloud cakes bought outside, sometimes it's a small cloth fish that she sews herself, the second young master likes it very much, and he even asked us to help secretly hide it from Madam. "
Tang Fan asked, "Did you meet anyone else after you went out that day, did the sedan chair stop halfway?"
Xiao Kui shook his head: "No, after leaving the door, I went all the way to the outside of the palace gate. I watched the second young master being taken away by the people in the palace, and I came back. Originally, I was going to pick up people in the evening. I know, who knows that the young master will…”
Tang Fan felt that there was no need to ask any more, he looked at Han Hui: "We want to see Xiao Zhou."
Han Hui nodded: "Please come with me."
Xiao Zhou had obviously gotten the news. When she came out, her eyes were red and pitiful. Judging from her age, she was indeed younger than Lin, so it was no wonder that Lin would be very protective of her.
Xiao Zhou listened to Han Hui's introduction to Tang Fan and the others, and bowed to them first, and then said, "Widowhood, it was originally bad luck, if it wasn't for me always visiting Xiao Zao, maybe Xiao Zao would not have an accident. already."
Tang Fan naturally had no obligation or mood to comfort her, and asked directly, "I heard Xiaogu say that on the day of Han Zao's accident, before he left for the palace, did you meet him?"
Xiao Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, at that time I was going to the front yard to greet my aunt, and I happened to meet Xiao Zao. I knew that my cousin didn't like me interacting with Xiao Zao, so I didn't go to him much to play. But this kid Xiao Zao is annoying. As soon as I run into him, I can’t help but tease him and chat with him for a while. I talked to Xiao Zao for a while that day, about At the time of a cup of tea, Xiao Zao’s book boy Xiao Cake was present, and my maid La Mei was also present.”
The Lamei she was talking about was the young maidservant standing behind Xiao Zhou. She was about the same age as Han Hui. She lowered her head and clasped her hands on her stomach. Seeing Xiao Zhou talking about herself, Lamei saluted Tang Fan and the others. .
Tang Fan glanced at her, then looked at Xiao Zhou again: "You also helped Han Zao get close to his clothes, right?"
Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Yes, this, does it matter?"
Tang Fan didn't answer, but said, "I want to see your room, okay?"
Xiao Zhou looked at Tang Fan and was amazed: "Sir, do you doubt me?"
Tang Fan said lightly, "Yes or no, let's see it first."
Xiao Zhou bit his lower lip, and a woman was searched in the house. "What if I don't agree?"
Tang Fanwang looked at Wang Zhi.
Eunuch Wang, who had been acting as the set board next to him, appeared on the stage. He cooperated closely with Master Tang and said with a grin: "Let's search now, or wait until I bring you back to the West Factory. You can choose."
Tang Fan secretly gave Eunuch Wang a thumbs up.
This sentence came from the mouth of Admiral Xichang, and the effect is multiplied tenfold. If Tang Fan was moved out of Shuntian Mansion, it would be no deterrent.
Tang Daren thought that when His Majesty asked Wang Changgong to personally come out to monitor him and help him, it was actually not useless.
The prestige of the West Factory, even the boudoir woman is like thunder, and Xiao Zhou's pretty face suddenly lost its blood.
She took two steps back, and La Mei quickly supported her.
Xiao Zhou's Yingying bowed down: "My two adults, Rong Qi, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I love Xiao Zao like a nephew. In the future, it will be spread out how to behave as a human being, and the reason for this is that adults should be considerate."
Tang Fan's voice was very gentle, but his tone was unmoved: "I'm on a mission to handle the case, so please be considerate."
After all, he didn't care about Xiao Zhou, he walked directly into the house.
The people brought by Wang Zhi came in handy at this time. Together with Wang Zhi and Tang Fan, several people searched the house.
Of course, the people in the West Factory can't be gentle in their work. Soon, those beddings, makeup, and the like will be found in a mess.
As a boudoir of a woman's family, Xiao Zhou's can be regarded as the first to be searched by Wang Changgong himself.
However, Eunuch Wang was even more rude when he got started. He specially picked those corners that few people paid attention to to check, and even the top of the bed curtain was torn off by him.
The most kind is Tang Fan, he is looking for places like the corner of the bed and the foot of the bed, which rarely causes destructive damage.
It was not convenient for Han Hui to come in, so he waited outside.
Unable to stop, Xiao Zhou, who could only come in after Tang Fan and the others, saw the mess in this place, and immediately his legs softened, and he almost succumbed to it.
La Mei hurriedly supported her and shouted, "Master! Master!"
"Chang Gong!" One of the two people brought by Wang Zhi suddenly called out. He was standing on the window sill, holding a magnet in one hand, and was sucking out a thin needle from the gap between the window sill and the window.
Wang Zhi and Tang Fan immediately walked over to check.
When I took a closer look, I found that the thin needle was more than two inches long and as thick as a hair. If it wasn't for the spy from Xichang who listened to Tang Fan's words and brought a magnet here, he might not have been able to discover the existence of this thing.
"This is a broken needle!" Wang Zhi said, then turned to Xiao Zhou who was slumped on the ground, his eyes gloomy. "Han Zao died because the broken needle fell into the water point. How dare you say you didn't do it?"
Xiao Zhou opened his eyes wide and shook his head sharply: "It's not me! It's not me! I don't know whose needle belonged to me!"
Wang Zhi didn't listen to her explanation, and directly said to the left and right: "First arrest her!"
Xiao Zhou cried: "You are wronged! Your lord, you are wronged!"
Lamei also pulled her sleeves and screamed.
Han Hui thought that he heard the movement inside, so he walked in quickly. He couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene, and quickly asked Wang Zhi: "Mr. Wang, what's going on? Is there any misunderstanding?"
Wang Zhi snorted coldly: "Is it a misunderstanding, take it back and ask and you'll know!"
If Tang Fan was here with people from Shuntian Prefecture, it would be inconvenient to take people away directly, because in any case, the Han family is the family of officials, and the Han party has a relationship with Emperor Chenghua, but Wang Father-in-law has no such scruples, he directly waved his hand and let Xiao Zhou take away.
Han Hui is completely unstoppable. He can't speak in the Han family, and he has no official position. This is why Wang Zhi is too lazy to explain to him. It can be seen that Han Hui has no choice but to chase after the two. Go out behind the footsteps and hurriedly report to Han Fang.
Lamei, a maid, was even more at a loss and panicked. She looked at Wang Zhi and the others who were still in the room, and ran out.
Wang Zhi turned his head and saw Tang Fan was still standing by the window. At first glance, he seemed to be looking at the scenery, but only when he took a closer look did he realize that he was staring out the window in a daze.
"Reluctant to leave?" Wang Zhi frowned and slapped his back directly.
Tang Fan almost didn't notice anything wrong with him, and he coughed non-stop.
He coughed and said, "It's too coincidental, we came to say we were going to search, and just happened to find a broken needle. With such a thin needle, just throw it into the flowers, stick it into the soil, Isn't it more difficult to find out, Xiao Zhou's brain is not wrong, how can it be stuffed in the gap of the window, waiting for us to find out?"
Wang Zhi said: "What insight does the boudoir woman have? Lin shi hated her so much, and she repeatedly troubled her, and humiliated her so much that she almost hanged. Xiao Zhou grieved and wanted to kill Han Zao to retaliate against Lin shi, and let her It's not surprising at all. After she killed someone, she was flustered, and naturally she didn't think about it too much. She hid the silver needles everywhere, and she didn't expect us to find this place... What are you looking at me for!"
Tang Fan asked lightly, "With Duke Wang's shrewdness, don't you think that what you said is full of loopholes?"
Wang Zhi sneered: "What do you mean?"
Tang Fan said: "I can understand Wang Gong's desire to close the case as soon as possible, but is it too early to draw a conclusion when the case is unknown and the murderer has not really been found out?"
Wang Zhi put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes, and his femininity suddenly turned sharp.
Tang Fan was not afraid of the faint murderous aura that the other party showed, and still calmly met the other party's eyes.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then Wang Zhi slightly eased his tone and said, "I understand that you want to make merit. Once this case is over, I will file a petition for you, although the murderer has not yet been completely determined. But Xiao Zhou's suspicion is quite high, there is no doubt about it, this gentleman will have people interrogated strictly, if you are interested, you can naturally join."
There are no real enemies and no real friends in the officialdom. Wang Zhi and Tang Fan were in a cooperative relationship before, and the two had a common goal, which was the East Palace case, but in detail, their focus was different. .
Tang Fan's focus is to find the murderer, while Wang Zhi's focus is to solve this matter without causing too serious consequences.
Now Xiao Zhou's motives are sufficient, and the crime process is also in place. Some people take the initiative to send evidence to the door. The best thing is that she has nothing to do with the people in the palace, and she is not a member of the Han family, so the emperor wants to appease. the wishes of the teacher.
Such conditions are unnecessary. Wang Zhi feels that this is the best murderer that God has given him. If Tang Fan is allowed to dig deeper, there is no guarantee that some scandals will be brought out. At that time, it will not be such a happy and successful result. .
So Eunuch Wang is not not shrewd, he is too shrewd, adding various political considerations to a murder case.
This is the difference between him and Tang Fan.
Smart people don't need to talk much to understand each other's thoughts.
But understanding is understanding, but Tang Fan didn't plan to do as Wang Zhi said.
He smiled slightly: "Wang Gong seems to have forgotten that His Majesty said that I would lead the case, but only let you assist in the investigation."
Wang Zhi angrily said: "Tang Runqing, don't be ashamed, I know better than you what to do with this case, this is the best result!"
Tang Fan said lightly, "But it's not the most real result. If Xiao Zhou was not a murderer, wouldn't he be wronged? My generation of scholars must be worthy of the conscience of the world. It doesn't mean that everyone has forgotten this sentence, what Yu Gong said back then, I dare not or forget it for a day."
After saying that, Chao Wang Zhi cupped his hands and turned to go out.
Wang Zhi frowned, and after thinking for a while, he remembered what the phrase "what Yu Gong said back then" was referring to.
Yu Gong in Tang Fan's mouth naturally refers to Yu Qian, the prime minister who was wrongly killed in Yingzong, but was rehabilitated in the early years of Chenghua.
I am not afraid of being shattered, and I must leave my innocence in the world.
Tang Fan's character is not as strong as Yu Qian's, but Yu Qian, as the idol of a minister in the world, has this arrogance that many people yearn for.
It's just that some people have the courage to do it, and some people can only stay on their lips and talk about it.
Since Eunuch Wang forced Shang Xun to resign and swept the opposition forces in the DPRK, when did he encounter such a person who dared to veto his proposal in person and sing against him
Bah, as expected, just like Shang Hongzai's servant, he looked soft, but in fact he didn't eat hard or soft!
Eunuch Wang scolded several times, and as soon as his temper came up, even Han Fang was too lazy to deal with it, so he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, but he sent someone to explain the cause and effect to Han Fang, so it was to take care of his face.
Tang Fan was actually a little angry in his heart, either you don't let me handle this case, you promised me to be responsible, but now there are a lot of interventions!
But he also understands that the current atmosphere is like this, and it is so difficult to do one thing, so that even Shang Xiangui can't stand it, so he just ran away.
But Tang Fan didn't plan to give up. After quarreling with Wang Zhi, he went directly to the Beizhen Fusi.
Xue Bing went on a business trip with Suizhou Office, but his other subordinate, Pang Qi, was still there.
Tang Fan asked Pang Qi to help check Xiao Zhou's background.
Since he has a disagreement with Wang Zhi, he does not plan to ask Xichang to help. If Wang Zhi instigated it, it would be easier for Xichang to fabricate some evidence.
However, the results of Pang Qi's investigation surprised Tang Fan.
Xiao Zhou's husband left his hometown after the death of his husband and lived in the Han family. Tang Fan knew about this for a long time, but it turned out that Xiao Zhou's ex-husband was a doctor who used to run a small local pharmacy. Mrs. Zhou also knew a little about medical theory and helped to manage the shop, but later, Mrs. Zhou’s husband died young, and she was a woman who was not good at business, so she had to close the business and go north to the Han family.
When investigating the cause of Han Zao's death, Taiyi Sun said that Shuisui acupoint is a very dangerous acupoint, and improper operation can easily lead to death, but most people will definitely not know this kind of thing, only those who are familiar with medical books and understand medical principles, Only thought of using this method to kill people.
But now, the little Zhou family just met this condition.
He had a grudge with Han Zao's mother. He had close contact with Han Zao on the day of his death, and he himself was a person with a little knowledge of medicine. He also found a vital silver needle in her room. In this way, Xiao Zhou Is Shi really the one who killed Han Zao
Tang Fan's brows furrowed tightly. He felt that this feeling was too weird, as if someone deliberately led them in one direction, sent the "murderer" to them, and provided flawless evidence.
But it is because it is too perfect that it is even more suspicious.
However, such a result must be the best for Wang Zhi.
If he wants to prevent Wang Zhi from directly identifying Xiao Zhou as the murderer, he has to find more powerful evidence to prove Xiao Zhou's innocence.
The next day, Tang Fan first went to Shuntian Mansion to order a Mao.
Although the case he is handling now is not under the control of Shuntianfu, no matter what, he is still the pusher of Shuntianfu, and Pan Bin is his immediate boss. Tang Fan must follow the rules and take into account Pan Bin's feelings. , can't let Pan Bin feel that he has climbed a big tree and forget the old man.
Pan Bin is generally satisfied with Tang Fan's knowledge. He has no objection to Tang Fan's investigation and handling of the Donggong case. Tang Fan is a man from Shuntian Mansion, and he would call him senior brother if it is private. This incense love can't go away. Instead of being jealous of Tang Fan's fortune-telling, and suddenly getting involved in the palace, it is better to take advantage of the current opportunity to manage the relationship well, and there will be a day of repayment in the future.
Facing his brother's enthusiasm, Tang Fan just wanted to smile bitterly.
Others looked at him as a small Shuntian government official, and he was immediately appointed by the emperor to handle the case. That's the truth.
But he didn't talk to Pan Bin too much, he just dealt with it casually, and then went directly to the West Factory under the pretext of investigating the case.
In the West Factory, he met Xiao Zhou, who was still crying and complaining over and over again, but she was not beaten and made things difficult, not because Eunuch Wang suddenly knew Lianxiang Xiyu, but this case was heard up to the sky, and there were enough The evidence is enough. In the end, the emperor will decide, and Wang Zhi doesn't need to do some thankless things.
Seeing Tang Fan's arrival, Wang Zhi took out a light file and threw it on the table next to him.
"Look for yourself, don't say I want to deliberately create a wrongful prison, Xiao Zhou's ex-husband is a doctor, and she herself understands medical principles. If not, how would she know where to use needles!"
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "I already know about this."
Wang Zhi raised his chin slightly and waited for him to soften: "That's good, Xiao Zhou started to attack Han Zao because he resented her cousin for ruining her reputation. Now the evidence is solid, but she still refuses to admit it. The cause and effect are clear. , I will meet your Majesty in the palace later, you should know what to say?"
Tang Fan shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I didn't plan to enter the palace with you."
Wang Zhi didn't expect that he was not only dissatisfied, but also so stubborn, and said angrily: "Tang Runqing, don't think I dare not do anything to you, if it wasn't for the fact that you were entrusted by His Majesty personally, I would have kicked you a long time ago. Cool off to the side!"
Tang Fan still had a slow-moving look: "Mr. Wang doesn't need to get angry like this, in my opinion, the case is not over yet, so we have to continue the investigation. If you want to go to the palace and report to you, I will report it to you. Investigate my case, we have nothing to do with each other."
Two irrelevant shit!
Wang Zhi was about to utter foul language. You continue to investigate, and I will happily close the case to receive merit. If something goes wrong at that time, won't I want to be buried with you? !
He is now beginning to regret why he recommended Tang Fan in front of the emperor, and handed it over to the West Factory.
Wang Zhi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "What do you want?"
Seeing that Eunuch Wang was forced into such a rudeness by himself, Tang Fan couldn't be tough any longer, otherwise the case would not be investigated and no one would benefit.
Tang Fan cupped his hands and said, "Please don't be impatient, Mr. Wang, I think there is still something to look for in the Han family. I want to go to the Han family again. If Mr. Wang is willing to walk with me, I will explain to Mr. Wang on the way how to do it. ?"
This person doesn't want to eat hard or soft. Right now, Wang Zhi really has nothing to do with him, but no way now doesn't mean no way in the future. This time, it's just because Wang Zhi recommended Tang Fan himself. It's not too late for ten years, he kept this account secretly in his heart, thinking that when this case is over, if I don't make you cry, I won't be surnamed Wang!
With this thought in mind, Wang Zhi's tone and complexion became slightly better: "Tang Fan, Your Majesty asked us to jointly take charge of this case, since that's the case, we must treat each other frankly, I don't want this to happen next time. situation!"
It was obviously that Eunuch Wang was anxious to catch a murderer, but the wicked sued first, confounding right and wrong, but Tang Fan couldn't do anything about him, so he could only pinched his nose and nodded.
Seeing his soft and low posture, Wang Zhi finally felt a little more comfortable: "Speaking of which, what did you find?"
Tang Fan said: "This matter is just my guess. I don't know if it can be confirmed. I have to go to the Han family to find out."
Seeing Wang Zhi staring at him again, Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Xing Xing Xing, I said, I said. I think Xiao Zhou's maid is a little suspicious."
Wang Zhi: "Oh, what, what's her name?"
Tang Fan: "Lamei."
Wang Zhi: "Yes, La Mei, why do you think she is suspicious?"
Tang Fan: "I have read the file you gave me, and I also asked friends from Beizhen Fusi to help investigate Xiao Zhou..."
Wang Zhi sneered: "I think who you are looking for, how can a waste yamen like Beizhen Fusi compare to Xichang!"
This is not the point at all, right? Besides Jin Yiwei, there are several detective departments in the entire Ming Dynasty, that is, the East Factory and the West Factory. Jin Yiwei is a waste, so who else is not a waste
Tang Fan was helpless: "That's not what I want to say. When Xiao Zhou's family hadn't gone north, this Lamei had already followed her. Lamei is seventeen or eighty this year, which means that she has followed Xiao Zhou's side for a number of times. Zai, such a person, it is reasonable to say that such a person should depend on Xiao Zhou's life, the master and servant are deeply in love, but her performance yesterday, but this is very doubtful. When people are in a hurry, there will always be some impulsive behaviors, But when La Mei was caught by Xiao Zhou, she just grabbed her sleeve casually, shouting more than she did, as if she was afraid of being touched by the fanboys. Also, in Xiao Zhou When Shi was taken away, she just followed behind and cried, which made people feel too calm."
Wang Zhi sneered: "What's so surprising, a woman is timid, not to mention that she has not seen much of the world like her. When something happens to the master, she plans for herself and worries about being implicated. It is normal for people to have selfishness. of."
Tang Fan shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, think about it. Back then, when La Mei was able to accompany the little Zhou family to the Han family, two weak women, even if they had one or two family members to escort them, would definitely have to travel a lot on the way? It's a thousand miles away, How can Lamei say that she has never seen the world? Even if she is timid and introverted, she should have exercised some courage."
There was another suspicious point, which he did not say. It would not be known until he met Lamei.
Wang Zhi ran on him: "Tang Runqing, you can't look like a person, I really don't see it, you keep reading the books of sages and sages, and you know women so well!"
Tang Fan was speechless, what is this all about
This Eunuch Wang's temperament is also very moody. For a while, he can talk and laugh freely, and he can open up any jokes, and then he puts on a business-like face, which is shockingly shrewd. With such a person, it's no wonder that his gang members have a bitter face all day long. In the face of such an unflattering boss, can they not frown
When the people in Han Mansion saw Wang Zhi and the others coming, they didn't dare to stop them. The servants hurried to inform Han Qi and the others, while letting them enter the room directly, and walked towards the courtyard where Xiao Zhou lived.
As a result, as soon as Wang Zhi and Tang Fan arrived outside Xiao Zhou's courtyard, they collided with Lin who hurried over.
"Why is this crazy woman again, really bad luck!" Tang Fan heard Wang Zhi muttering beside him.
The next development fulfilled Wang Zhi's complaints, and when Lin saw them, he immediately rushed over.
The action was so fast that the thunder couldn't cover his ears.
Eunuch Wang, possessing a stunt, flashed agilely to the side, and immediately avoided it.
As a result, Tang Fan was thrown straight by her.
Wang Zhi showed a sly smile to Tang Fan, "a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist".
Tang Fan: "..."
Sure enough, Lin's expression was crazy, and once he grabbed his clothes, he never let go.
Lin shi stared at him: "I heard that you have caught the murderer, right!"
Tang Fan said, "Madam, let me go first..."
Lin shi turned a deaf ear to his words: "I knew it was her, I knew it was her! She is such a shameless bitch, seeing that I have a son and she doesn't, I feel jealous, and I want to let the old goddess leave. I, marrying the master, I can't do it, and I have another plan. I thought she would do this kind of thing..."
Her strength was getting stronger and stronger. Tang Fan was grabbed by the collar and his neck hurt. He couldn't help but take two steps back, but Lin Shi still didn't let go. The people from the West Factory did not come forward to rescue the siege.
Tang Fan had no choice but to stretch out his hand and use brute force to push Lin Shi away, and then loudly said, "Little Zhou Shi is not a murderer!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned.
Lin Shi was pushed back and staggered by him, almost fell to the ground, but he didn't care about screaming in pain, he directly supported the hand of the maid and tried to get up, and apologized to Tang Fan: "I was thinking about the death of the child just now, for a while. Confused, words and deeds, please forgive me, if Xiao Zhou was not the murderer of my son, who would it be, please let the two of you know."
Her expression was complete, her speech was well-organized, and she was completely different from the madness just now, as if she had completely changed her personality.
Tang Fan was very uncomfortable with this kind of bad symptoms for a while, but once Lin became normal, he behaved in a proper manner, and his demeanor was very heartbreaking, and it was no wonder that Han Fang felt pity for her.
Tang Fan straightened his collar and did not answer her question. Instead, he said, "Where is Lamei?"
The housekeeper of the Han residence, who just led them on the way, said hurriedly, "She still lives in this yard."
Wang Zhi gave an order, and someone from the West Factory had already rushed in to look for it. After searching the inside and outside rooms, they hurried out and told Wang Zhi: "Master Chang, no one was found, the embroidery beside the bed was Halfway through the work, and the back door of the other courtyard is open, I think it’s not long after I left!”
When the person who reported the report said this, another fan from Xichang had already followed the door and chased after him.
In the courtyard where Xiao Zhou lived, the small door at the back led to the flowerbed outside, which was for those servants to enter and exit.
Although La Mei was more familiar with the route of the Han Mansion, she was a weak woman, how fast she could pass the footsteps of Xichang Fanzi, and she was arrested in a short time.
She looked flustered, her hair was messy, and she struggled a lot while being chased and caught.
Tang Fan asked, "La Mei, why are you running?"
Lamei murmured: "I, I didn't..."
Tang Fan's eyes swept across her face: "You put the silver needle we found on the window sill in the back room yesterday, right?"
Lamei: "No, no!"
Tang Fan looked at her coldly: "So far, do you still want to lie? After all, whose child is the flesh and blood in your belly?"
