"There are still two days until the New Year's Eve, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait that long." Qin Wan frowned slightly, and asked again, "Are the two personal attendants of Lu Jingcheng still in the garden?"
Bai Feng nodded, "Yes, I'm still under guard. Fourth Young Master's death is due to their ineffective guardians."
Qin Wan pondered for a while, "I don't know if my aunt might let me meet these people."
Bai Feng and Bai Ying glanced at each other, "If the princess and madam explain clearly, I think it will be possible."
Qin Wan thought of this and went to do it. Immediately, he ordered someone to invite Huang Momo to come over first. After expressing his intention, Huang Momo asked, "What does the princess want to ask? The servant has already asked about the night's affairs before, including the weekdays. Whether or not the fourth young master has any enmity with anyone, they all asked clearly. Those few people are the fourth young master's confidantes. Now that something like this has happened, when you are most afraid, why don't you ask your slaves to ask? I think you should ask from."
Madam Huang had indeed interrogated those servants before, but what Qin Wan wanted to ask this time had something to do with Wufang, and Qin Wan hadn't told Lu Youxin about Wufang's suspicion and the erotic book. Shen Yin still said, "It's okay, the things I asked are a bit messy, and it depends on the reactions of a few of them. If it is convenient for Mammy, I will arrange it, and Mammy will not have to worry about this matter afterwards."
Naturally, Nanny Huang would not reject Qin Wan, she was just afraid that Qin Wan would take too much trouble, so she immediately went to make arrangements after hearing this, and after a short while, Nanny Huang came to Hanyu Courtyard again and led Qin Wan to the direction of the servant's room Lu Jingcheng's servants were imprisoned in the courtyard of a servant's house. The courtyard was very simple, with two servants in one place and two maidservants in one place. Because they had been locked up for many days, these people had already mourned a lot. Yu Xin died, knowing that he would never be able to stay in the Lu family anymore!
Huang Nanny took Qin Wan to the main room of the courtyard here, and then explained where the several people were locked up before leaving. Qin Wan took Bai Feng and the others into the main room and sat down. The maid brought here..."
When Bai Feng heard the words, he immediately went to lead someone, Fu Ling said in a low voice, "Princess, you have shown your face this time, will there be any trouble?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "No, just explain afterwards that these people can stay here forever, and they won't be able to get out of Bailuzhou before I leave."
Fu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while, the two maidservants were brought over first.
Because they had been locked up for many days, the two maidservants who entered the door were quite unkempt, and when they entered the door, they saw an unfamiliar young girl. The two of them were a little surprised, looked at each other, and quickly entered the door and knelt on the ground. Because he didn't know Qin Wan's identity, he didn't even know how to address him, so he just knelt and crawled on the ground, not daring to be disrespectful.
These two are Lu Jingcheng's personal servants, and they brought them here because Lu Jingcheng loves them very much. Although they are only servants at the moment, when Lu Jingcheng gets married in the future, they will have to be raised as concubines. Qin Wan sized up the two of them for a moment , found that these two people are indeed pretty and pretty, although they are a little embarrassed now, they still don't hide their beauty, and they are probably terrified of being locked up for the past few days. At this moment, before she opened her mouth, the two of them were already shaking .
Qin Wan also didn't intend to speak at the beginning, she appeared out of nowhere, and the two of them were also human beings, so she had some measure in her heart.
Qin Wan remained silent, and the two of them became more and more uncertain. Although they didn't know Qin Wan, Qin Wan's clothes were luxurious and his appearance was even more amazing. Such a young man could sit in this room and interrogate them. The two of them had been by Lu Jingcheng's side for a long time, but they didn't know that there was such a young girl in the Lu family. After much deliberation, they couldn't think of a clue, so naturally they became more and more uneasy, and soon, the eye sockets of both of them were slightly red.
"How long have you been with Lu Jingcheng?"
After a long while, Qin Wan asked a question, the expressions of the two changed slightly, and their hearts sank even more.
If it was a girl from the Lu family, it would be absolutely impossible for her to call Lu Jingcheng by her first name, so she is a foreigner...
And for a foreigner to get permission from the head of the family, Lu Youxin, to sit here, his status must be extraordinary.
"Servant, servant and servant have been with the fourth young master for five years."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan gave a faint "hmm", and continued to ask in a lukewarm manner, "Tell me about the day when the incident happened."
The two servants looked at each other, and the same person who spoke before said tremblingly, "The fourth young master was injured outside that day, and had a dispute with his wife. That night, people from the third and fourth rooms came to see the fourth Young master, everyone left later, it was still early, the fourth young master was not feeling well, and his temper was not very good. After a while, he said that he wanted to take a break. The two servants and servants waited on the fourth young master to wipe his body, and then retreated. The servants left At that time, the fourth young master was dozing off, I don't know if he fell asleep, but the earth dragon was still hot at that time."
"The next morning, the servants got up together. We dared to call the fourth young master without getting up, but we saw that it was time to drink the medicine, so we went to call the door. No matter how we called, we didn't respond. We thought it was wrong. I just looked in from the window, and I knew something was wrong..."
The servant girl shed tears as she spoke, "The servants really don't know what happened that night. It's winter and they slept very soundly at night. The two servants didn't get up all night, and they didn't even hear the Fourth Young Master call for help. , no one knows that the earth dragon in the fourth young master's house is broken..."
These people have been locked up all the time, and Huang Momo only asked without explaining, so they didn't know that Lu Jingcheng didn't freeze to death.
"The Dilongduan in Qingsongyuan is weird, who does Fourth Young Master have feud with on weekdays?"
The two looked at each other again, and the other said hesitantly, "No... no... Although the fourth young master usually has a bad temper, in the whole Bailuzhou, servants would never dare to disobey the fourth young master. If they have to say something... then It's the fifth young master, the fourth young master offended the fifth young master a long time ago..."
"What is it for?" Although Qin Wan knew it, she still asked.
"Probably, probably a few years ago, the fourth young master took a fancy to a little girl in the fifth young master's room, and wanted... wanted to get her back, but the fifth young master didn't agree, so the enmity ended like this..."
"In the past one or two months, has Lu Jingcheng had any disputes with Lu Jingxiu?"
"No, no, when we arrive at Bailuzhou, Fourth Young Master will either go to Jianzhou City or stay in the garden. We haven't met Fifth Young Master face-to-face a few times, and nothing will happen."
Qin Wan stopped talking when he heard this, and said after a while, "About a month ago, someone saw that Lu Jingcheng went to the Plum Garden late at night, not only that, but seven or eight days after that, Lu Jingcheng went there again, Do you know about this?"
As soon as this question was asked, the expressions of the two maidservants who were gradually able to answer calmly changed suddenly, and they both lowered their heads at the same time, holding their skirts nervously with both hands.
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became colder by two points, "Lu Jingcheng's death is different, if we can't find out who killed him, then you will have to take the blame."
Although Qin Wan's words were intimidating, they were telling the truth. Someone would come forward and confess to Lu Jingcheng's death. If she was not there this time, and Lu Youxin didn't want to report to the police, I'm afraid that Lu Boyong and his wife wouldn't forgive him. Several servants.
"Slaves... slaves don't know very clearly..."
Hearing this, Qin Wan's voice relaxed a little, "It's okay, just tell what you know."
The maidservant who answered the most obviously wanted to get rid of the crime, swallowed hard and said, "Fourth young master, for a few days, it's true...it's a bit weird, not only like to go to the Plum Garden during the day, but also go at night, just go I don't want us to follow, I still remember that time more than a month ago, because the fourth young master caught a cold after coming back, the fourth young master hates taking medicine the most, but the second wife loves the fourth young master the most, if you look at the fourth young master If we are not well ill, we will definitely be punished. We were still worried that time, but Fourth Young Master took the medicine cheerfully, and the cold was cured within two days. We also felt relieved, and after that... Four The young master has been there several times..."
Qin Wan frowned, "It's the first time I went, have you been there more than once?"
The servant girl nodded, "Yes... More than once, probably at the first watch, we two are the personal servants of the fourth young master, and sometimes we stay in the fourth young master's room, but the fourth young master's interest was very low in those few days , the servant can see that the fourth young master should go to the plum garden because he wants to see someone, but sometimes the fourth young master will return without success, and at that time his temper will be very bad, the servant remembers, the fourth young master went out Afterwards, only three times came back happily."
Lu Suiyong said that he saw Lu Jingcheng twice, it can be seen that he happened to bump into him twice, but he didn't see him the other times.
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, she should have come to ask these girls a long time ago! It was not easy to show up in person before, which wasted so much time!
Qin Wan took a deep breath, "He didn't tell you what to do?"
The two servants ignored it for a moment and shook their heads, "Although we two serve the fourth young master personally, the fourth young master doesn't tell us everything, especially who the fourth young master is dating outside, we can't even ask .”
Lu Jingcheng looked cowardly and lecherous, but in front of her maidservant, she thought it was very face-saving.
Qin Wan looked at the two, and suddenly said, "There is an album of erotic palaces in the high cabinet next to Lu Jingcheng's bed, you should know?"
When asked this way, even though the two of them were in a panic and panic situation, they blushed instantly. Erotic albums are extremely private things. Seeing how young Qin Wan was, she was able to ask so leisurely...
Not to mention these two, even Fu Ling's eyes widened instantly, she turned to look at Bai Ying, but Bai Ying's eyes were calm.
Fu Ling knew that Qin Wan had brought back two books from Lu Jingcheng's residence, but she didn't know that what she brought back was the erotic album...
Seeing Qin Wan's calm expression, he straightened his back and pretended not to care, but when he caught sight of Bai Feng, his cheeks burned.
"Slaves... slaves know..."
The erotic album is just a matter of painting the bed. Lu Jing inherited her lust and read countless people. It is conceivable that looking at the erotic album is not invisible to him, especially in front of these two servants. I'm afraid he still finds it interesting.
Seeing the flushed cheeks of these two servants, Qin Wan's tone became more serious, "The erotic album is different from the general ones, do you know what is drawn at the end of the picture book?"
When the words came to an end, the two maidservants lowered their heads even more, their shoulders shrunk, and even their ears turned red.
"I know, all the slaves know..."
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "Then do you know if your master has this habit?"
Qin Wan's words were unclear, but the two servants understood.
"Fourth Young Master... Fourth Young Master, he does have..."
A servant girl said tremblingly, and the other person continued, "It only started in the second half of this year. The fourth young master was playing with friends and was taken to... that kind of place... I think I saw it once. Once it got out of hand, that's why someone bought this album. The Fourth Young Master valued appearance... I heard him once say that he seems to have recruited a young lady outside..."
Having said that, Qin Wan fell into deep thought. The young servant is not the same as the maid who is close to the room. These two people must know a lot about the private affairs in the room, but the two young servants have other uses .
"Which of your four young masters has a better relationship with you in Bailuzhou? Needless to say, fifth young master, sixth young master or ninth young master, who is he better off with?"
When asked such a question, the two of them thought for a while, and the one who answered more said, "If I have to say it, it is the Ninth Young Master... Fourth Young Master, regardless of male or female, likes to socialize with handsome people. Junlang, the fourth young master mentioned this point occasionally."
Qin Wan said, "How did you mention it?"
"It's similar... The appearance of the old nine is getting more and more eye-catching, or the appearance of the old nine is more attractive than anyone else. The fourth young master is usually compared with the actor who is famous for being handsome outside..."
Qin Wan squinted his eyes, and glanced at the two of them again, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The two raised their heads and looked at Qin Wan suspiciously. Qin Wan said, "You are the closest people around Lu Jingcheng. He died suddenly. I'm afraid you have a lot of doubts in your heart. If you think there is something very strange, you can say Come on, if it is useful, it will be considered a meritorious service.”
Having said that, the two of them immediately showed panic, their eyes rolled and they tried to think of it. After thinking for a long time, one of them said, "This servant has thought of something, I don't know if it will be useful..."
Qin Wan's eyes signaled her to continue, and the servant said, "I remember, the fourth young master went out at night for the second time, and when he came back, he was quite annoyed, and said a few intentionally scary words... similar to 'I can't escape the palm of the master. ', 'It annoyed the Lord to let his family be buried with him', the servant girl thought at the time, he went out alone these days and nights, and he didn't know who he was going to see, but no matter who he met, I was afraid that he would be angry with people outside again. Thinking about it, but that person probably won't follow, that's why he is like this, I'm afraid that person is some maidservant in the garden, and he still has a backer, otherwise he would have snatched it away..."
Although they followed Lu Jingcheng, the two clearly knew that Lu Jingcheng's temperament was extremely bad.
After saying this, the servant next to him seemed to be afraid of being left behind, his eyes rolled quickly and he said, "This servant also remembered something... But, it may be useless..."
Seeing that Qin Wan's eyes didn't stop, the servant said, "The servant is mainly responsible for the food of the Fourth Young Master in the room. I just said that the Fourth Young Master is good to the Ninth Young Master. The servant doesn't think it's like this. I came to Bailuzhou. Because there were so many people, everyone ate in the big kitchen. The fourth young master grew up spoiled. After coming here, he learned that the fifth master used a bowl of ginseng soup every night in order to recuperate. The fourth young master also woke up. In this way, the fourth young master is young and healthy, so he doesn't need supplements, but he seems to be against the fifth master, so he just wants to grab this bowl of ginseng soup... This ginseng soup is a century-old wild ginseng plus some It is made from precious medicinal materials, and it takes an entire afternoon just to make it. If the fourth young master really wants to use it, he can tell it in advance. He doesn't say it in advance every time. The kitchen wants it, the people in the kitchen dare to disobey the fourth young master's intention, every time they have to give the fourth young master some, the amount sent to the Qingzhuyuan is always not enough, the fifth master naturally knows about this, but the fifth master has lost his temper He is not bothered by the soft name, so Madam still doesn't know about this matter."
Qin Wan frowned suddenly, "Will he go to grab the food in other rooms? This soup, but you have to do it every time?"
The servant shook his head, "The food in other rooms is not so expensive, and the fourth young master is not greedy, so the servant thinks that the fourth young master intends to fight against the fifth room, but he doesn't make trouble every day, it was about a month and a half ago. Once every few days... "
Saying this, the servant stared suddenly, "By the way, this servant remembered that the days when the Fourth Young Master was going to take part in the soup were the days when he would go out alone! Also, the day when the Fourth Young Master was injured, I also ordered ginseng soup, and he was injured at the time, so we didn't think much about asking for ginseng soup."
Having said that, another servant girl also looked at her, and the two looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise!
When Qin Wan heard this, she couldn't help but slowly sat up straight, and after a while, she nodded, "Very well, what you said is not unhelpful, you step back, I will tell my wife about your performance today."
The two servants kowtowed in gratitude to Dade before they backed out.
As soon as the two left, Qin Wan fell into deep thought, and Fu Ling said softly, "It seems that Lu Jingcheng really has a relationship, more than twice! I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's still a man..." Fu Ling's tone was a bit disgusted, seeing Qin Wan's displeasure I dare not speak too much.
Not long after, Qin Wan said, "Bring those two boys in too."
Bai Feng went away in response, Qin Wan sighed, these things can only be found out by himself if he asks carefully in person, Huang Mama still thought things were too simple at the beginning, thinking like this, Lu Jingcheng's two servants It's also here, these two boys look upright, one tall and one short, they look neat and shrewd.
However, these two were also locked up for many days, and their demeanors were almost the same as those of the two maidservants, they were both panicked and kowtowed when they entered the door.
Qin Wan also left the two of them alone for a while as he had done just now, and seeing that the guard on their faces was replaced by fear, he asked a few simple questions just now. It's a boy, but his answer is the same as that of the two maidservants. In this Bailuzhou, the only person who seems to have feud with Lu Jingcheng on the surface is Lu Jingxiu. To the others, Lu Jingcheng still maintains a superficial politeness. He has a bad temper, and he will not take the initiative to provoke.
After a pause, Qin Wan asked again, "Do you know about Lu Jingcheng and Hu Guangde?"
Nanny Huang had asked those questions just now, and the two of them could still answer each other fluently, but when these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, scaring the faces of these two boys! Seeing this, Qin Wan sneered, and his serious and cold eyes hung over the heads of the two of them. After a while, cold sweat fell on the faces of the two of them.
The tall boy wiped his face, swallowed first and said, "I know... the villain knows..."
Qin Wan nodded faintly, "You don't have to be afraid, Hu Guangde has been captured in the garden now, you just tell what you know."
The tall boy trembled, while the short boy was even more desperate. The two of them were Lu Jingcheng's minions. During the period of sending letters, they were indispensable for running errands. They naturally knew all about these things clearly. The big case that killed people for many days, coupled with the murder of Wufang, these two people knew the seriousness of the matter.
Hearing Qin Wan say that Hu Guangde had also been arrested, the tall boy closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of pleading, "Small... the villain knew about this, about half a year ago, there was Once the second master and his wife talked about Wufang's mining industry, saying that Xiushan Mining was a big business and shouldn't be in the hands of Wufang, even if it was returned to Dafang's hands, it would be good, but Madam was very fond of Wufang in words Hu, he is even more serious about the ninth young master. The second master lost his temper when he came back, and said that his wife was going to choose the ninth young master as heir. At the beginning, this matter caused a lot of trouble in the second room. When the fourth young master knew about it, he was very upset resentful."
"After that, the fourth young master had the idea of plotting against the fifth house. First, he wanted to catch the fault of the fifth master and the fifth lady. After searching for a long time, nothing was found. Later, he wanted to see what the ninth young master did wrong. where... ”
At this point, the tall boy's eyes flashed, and he turned to say, "Nothing was found in the end. The fourth young master was very disappointed, so he slowly came up with the idea of Xiushan Mine. Three months ago, The Fourth Young Master got in touch with Hu Guangde, and it was Hu Guangde who came up with the idea of the mine disaster. At that time... At that time, no one thought that there would be such a big disturbance, and more than 20 people died all at once. After the incident, the Fourth Young Master was a little scared at first, But I was relieved when I learned that the two key managers had escaped."
Qin Wan stared at the tall boy, "Your Fourth Young Master, how did Master Zha Jiu check?"
When asked this way, the tall boy's face was covered with cold sweat, "It's just...it's just that Master Chajiu has something wrong in his ethnology, that's it..."
A smile curled up on the corner of Qin Wan's lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She stared at the tall guy for a while, then turned to look at the short guy. The mine disaster looked pale, but at the moment his eyes were shining brightly, but he shrank his head and dared not speak.
Qin Wan looked at him, "He doesn't tell the truth, you two, there is always someone who wants to survive."
When Qin Wan asked, the taller and shorter looked at her together, their eyes were shocked, the difference was that the taller's eyes were full of fear, but the shorter one's eyes were full of hope.
The short man swallowed, and said with difficulty, "Miss... what do you want to ask? Do you want to ask Fourth Young Master what Young Master Ninth has checked?"
Qin Wan nodded, and the short man hurriedly said, "Fourth young master—"
"Fourth Young Master checked Ninth Young Master, found out Ninth Young Master's life experience, and found out that Ninth Young Master was not Fifth Master's own!"
As soon as the short man started talking, the tall man spoke the truth like a bean, and he looked at Qin Wan nervously, "Miss, forgive me, miss, the villain just now... I just told a lie, villain From now on, I will never dare to lie to Miss, Miss forgive me..."
The tall one slammed his head twice as he spoke, and the short one looked at the tall one in surprise, with a bit of annoyance in his eyes.
Qin Wan looked a little ridiculous at the two of them, but as long as she could find out the truth, she didn't care who said it.
"when did it happen?"
"It was when the Fourth Young Master got in touch with Hu Guangde!"
When Qin Wan asked, this time it was the short one who answered first, the tall one turned his eyes and stared at the short one, and the two stared at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan was happy to see the success, "Since you know the life experience of Master Ninth, why do you have to make a mine disaster?"
The tall man took a step forward on his knees, and said impatiently, "Because the fourth young master had already got in touch with Hu Guangde at that time, and knew that Hu Guangde was angry with the fifth room, not to mention that the madam did not explain the background of the ninth young master. Regardless of the opinions of the public, the Ninth Young Master should be chosen? The Fourth Young Master thought that since Hu Guangde is available, it is better to use Hu Guangde to make Wu Fang unable to turn over, so that it will be over! What's more, if the matter of Xiushan fails, there will be Ninth Young Master Grasp the handle of life experience!"
After the tall one finished answering, he proudly puffed out his chest, while the short one beside him clenched his fists angrily.
Qin Wan nodded, "Does the second master know about the mine disaster?"
"I don't know—"
"I don't know—"
This time, the two answered in unison.
Qin Wan heard the exact same answer, and knew that what the two said was true.
After glancing at the two of them, Qin Wan asked again, "After you came to Bailuzhou, do you know about your four young masters going to the Plum Garden alone at night?"
"Know-"
"Know-"
Qin Wan laughed, "Do you know who he met when he went to Meiyuan?"
"I don't know!"
"I don't know-"
Right now, these two people are rushing to answer frequently, Qin Wan and Bai Feng are dumbfounded.
In order to perform better, the tall one continued, "Because the fourth young master didn't allow us to follow, he always said that he would go around for a while, and then left. The two of us were happy, so we didn't care... "
Qin Wan nodded, "What happened after he came back from outside?"
After asking this question, the short man hurriedly said, "Yes! Sometimes he is happy, and sometimes he looks angry when he comes back. We don't know who he met, and we dare not go up to ask about it. But seeing the fourth young master's appearance, He seems to be thinking about someone in the garden."
This is the same as Qin Wan's speculation, and it is almost the same as what the two maidservants said.
Qin Wan nodded, "I heard that Lu Jingcheng hired an actor in Jianzhou City, but is it true?"
"yes!"
"it is true!"
The two of them answered together again, and when the words settled down, the short man hurriedly said, "I'm a member of the Qinchunyuan troupe, who is very handsome in life and has a very difficult family. The fourth young master fell in love with him and spent a lot of money." , that person is a sensible person, so he doesn't care about it, so it's fine, but such a thing can't be put on the table, so the fourth young master usually stays in Huamanlou when he goes to Jianzhou City."
After the short man finished speaking, the tall man hurriedly said, "That's right, the fourth young master usually hangs around the brothel, and his wife doesn't like it, even the second master doesn't like it. I'm afraid that the second master will be pissed to death, and the fourth young master also knows this, so we should be very careful in this matter."
Qin Wan was very satisfied with the two people's desire to survive, and asked again, "Do you know about Lu Jingcheng's robbery of the fifth master's ginseng soup?"
The two of them didn't know Qin Wan's identity, but they didn't expect Qin Wan to know everything, and they didn't dare to belittle them right now.
"I know, I know! I heard from Yan'er once! It is said that the fourth young master doesn't like the fifth master, and he doesn't take the fifth master seriously, so he frequently grabs the fifth master's soup."
"The villain also knows, but the fifth master doesn't care about these things. Either he treats the behavior of the fourth young master as Xiao Hai's heart, or he is afraid of the second room and doesn't want to have another dispute with the second room because of these things. Anyway, this has happened several times. That's right, Fifth Master never made a fuss."
A slight light flashed in Qin Wan's eyes, "Think about it carefully, are the days when Lu Jingcheng snatched the fifth master's ginseng soup, the days when he went out alone?"
The two were puzzled when they heard the words, and after looking at each other, the tall one nodded first, "It seems to be like this, the few times I heard Yan'er mention it, it seems to be the days when the fourth young master went out..."
When he said that, the short man also nodded, "It seems so."
With a plan in mind, Qin Wan asked again, "What is Lu Jingcheng's attitude towards Sixth Young Master and Ninth Young Master?"
"The Fourth Young Master doesn't like the Sixth Young Master, and he doesn't pay attention to him on weekdays. This is also because the Sixth Young Master is always behind the Fifth Young Master. The Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Master are very difficult to deal with. Naturally, the Sixth Young Master also takes care of him." Disgusted, I seldom move around on weekdays about Master Ninth's words."
After the tall one finished speaking, the short one nodded and said, "Fourth Young Master and the brothers are not considered close, but there are quite a lot of friends outside... Fourth Young Master looks down on Sixth Young Master, and actually feels condescending towards Ninth Young Master. The fifth house is the last among the several families in the direct line, and it is even more so after knowing the life experience of the ninth young master. I think the ninth young master is just an adopted son..."
Qin Wan frowned, "Did Lu Jingcheng pay attention to Young Master Jiu these days? Or did they quarrel after meeting?"
The two looked at each other again, their faces were a little dazed. After a while, the short man suddenly said, "I just remembered, there really was such a thing! It was more than a month ago. Once, the fourth young master suddenly Ask the little man Jiu what he likes to do on weekdays... "
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, "How did you answer? What happened after that?"
The short man thought about it for a moment and said, "Master Ninth usually doesn't like to go out. He usually waits in the Qingzhuyuan. The only time he comes out every day is to go to the medicine house. Only very rarely, Young Master Ninth will go to other places in the garden to feed the deer park. The white deer or something, sometimes if you want to make some small things, go to the sundry room to find some utensils and the like. Anyway, besides the medicine house and the green bamboo courtyard, the ninth young master has no specific place to go. As he said, the fourth young master nodded and didn't say anything more."
Hearing this, the tall man tilted his head and thought for a moment and said, "The villain also remembered something. After coming to Bailuzhou, although the fourth young master didn't walk around with the brothers, he still paid attention to what everyone was doing, because of this. Fan is here to fight for the position of the heir. The villain remembers that the fourth young master asked what the other young masters were doing these days. The villain said that the fifth and sixth young masters went to Jianzhou City to meet friends, and the ninth young master It seems to be making plum wine."
Qin Wan clenched his hands on the arm of the chair, "Plum blossom wine? How did you know about it?"
The tall man said with a blank expression, "In this garden, apart from the servants brought by each house, there are also people who stay in the garden all year round. The villain asked about it at that time. Ninth Young Master likes to do this and that. At that time, the plum blossoms were just blooming, and Jianzhou had its first heavy snowfall, so he was making plum blossom wine."
Lu Jinghe was already dexterous, making these things seemed normal to others, but only Qin Wan knew that it was unusual, like weaving a net, section by section, grid by grid, and finally formed a A complete spider web, from which all the context of the matter emerged.
"Plum blossom wine—" Qin Wan murmured softly, slightly lost in thought.
Qin Wan asked a lot of trivial things, which seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Jingcheng's death, but suddenly stopped asking, and only murmured "plum blossom wine", the two people were really at a loss, they waited for a while, Qin Wan Before making a sound, they couldn't help turning their eyes to each other, not knowing what to do.
"The villains are telling the truth, and they dare not deceive Miss with a single word."
"Yes, yes, miss, I beg you to speak a few words of kindness for the little people in front of the madam. The little people don't want to hurt anyone, and they don't want to hurt the fourth young master..."
The two kowtowed frequently, and Qin Wan came back to look at them, "Is it just the three of you and Hu Guangde who know about the mine accident?"
When they asked this question, the two immediately nodded and said shortly, "I have been in touch with Hu Guangde by letter before, and it is impossible for others to know. The fourth young master and the little people know that this matter is of great importance, so they dare not reveal the slightest rumor. After arriving in Jianzhou, I only met Hu Guangde once, and the fourth young master is also very taboo."
"What does Lu Jingcheng want to do with Wufang? Do you want Master Wu to go to jail? Or just let Wufang lose Xiushan Mining?"
Asked this way, the tall one frowned and said, "I originally thought that it would be best to go to prison for a few days to ruin the reputation of the fifth master, but after a few days in Bailuzhou, the fourth young master suddenly changed his mind. I told the villain to keep an eye on the whereabouts of those two stewards, saying that it might be useful in the future."
Qin Wan frowned, "He doesn't want the government to find those two people, does he?"
The tall man nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it is impossible for the fourth young master to let the government find those two, but...but the living dare not let the government find them, but the dead... the dead can."
The tall man knew he was wrong, so he shrunk his neck while talking.
Qin Wan felt a chill in his heart when he heard that, Lu Jingcheng originally wanted the two to go far away and disappear, but now he began to pay attention to their whereabouts, and the living and the dead were naturally afraid that the two would be pulled out if they were caught , but if he is found after he dies, Wufang will have a chance to get rid of the crime.
Since Lu Jingcheng was able to join hands with Hu Guangde to frame Wufang, why would he suddenly want to give Wufang a life? !
A possibility emerged in Qin Wan's heart, and then pieced together the news from previous investigations and what she heard today, a complete network of context emerged, and the deepness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a touch of regret, and she went straight Sitting upright, he didn't speak for a long time.
Qin Wan didn't speak, and the two of them became even more afraid and nervous. After a long time, Qin Wan finally spoke, "I'm going to ask this question today, please back down."
The two hesitated to speak, apparently wanting to beg for mercy, but Qin Wan was not as tolerant towards them as he was to the two maidservants. These two were involved in the mine disaster. As Lu Jingcheng's minions, if Lu Jingcheng did not If they die, they probably don't know what guilt is.
Bai Feng took the two of them down, and the room became quiet. Because it was a temporary room and there was no stove and earth dragon. After asking for so long, Qin Wan's hands and feet were already cold. When she got up, her body trembled. Seeing this, Fu Ling quickly supported her, "Princess, are you alright?"
Qin Wan's face was full of contemplation, looking quite depressed, he shook his head and did not let Fu Ling continue to support him.
She stepped out of the door, but saw that the weather that was still clear in the morning turned gloomy now, with a strong cold wind, and another heavy snow was about to fall.
Qin Wan walked slowly towards the Wutong Garden, halfway there, but changed his mind, and went to the Hanyu Pavilion instead. Fu Ling looked at her with a little worry, "Princess, what did you think? They said just now After so much, I still don’t want to understand.”
Qin Wan sighed, and said in a pitiful and tired tone, "I know who the murderer is."
