The reborn first wife is a male

"Lord Mao, in my humble opinion." An Shaohua turned around and cupped his hands towards Mao Zhou, "Qi Ran was poisoned to death. And it is very likely that he was framed."

"Oh? Mr. An, why did you see that?" Mao Zhou asked.

"During lunch, Mr. Li casually asked him to have dinner with him, and Qi Ran said that he has an appointment."

"Maybe he just declined."

"If you want to die, who would put half of the sex in the wine and pack the rest in the luggage?"

"What if he deliberately pretended to be poisoned and wanted to blackmail someone, but it turned out to be self-defeating?"

"Will a person who wants to die want good wine and good food?"

"Maybe he didn't want to die, he just wanted to..."

"Lord Mao!" An Shaohua became anxious, "Didn't you say that Qi Ran killed Lu Quan and then committed suicide in fear of crime?"

Mao Zhou choked for a moment, and said in a daze, "Maybe he just wanted to drink a little piss so that we would think he was the murderer's next target."

"He was the murderer's next target." Gao Xinli said.

Mao Zhou was not surprised or afraid when he heard the words, but raised the corners of his lips, "Empty words are useless, Mr. Gao. How can you be convicted of a case where human life is at stake?"

Thinking of the time they spent together, Mao Zhou always treated them with courtesy.After Gao Xinli came today, Mao Zhou had always been more than respectful, why did he suddenly change his attitude?Is there something they don't know?

"Your evidence, Mr. Mao, also does not stand up to scrutiny!" Gao Xinli couldn't help but get a little louder.

An Shaohua pressed Gao Xinli's hand, looked at Mao Zhou and said, "Master Mao may still have something to say, Haiqing, please finish it together."

Mao Zhou smiled, straightened his clothes, and cleared his throat.The tone was drawn out, "Uh...bring the witnesses, Hong Gu and Er Hong."

Aunt Hong is the Aunt Hong that Lu Xiamiao mentioned just now. Her original name was Lu Hong. She was a domestic slave bought by the Lu family many years ago.Erhong, that girl who was originally assigned to work in the yard where Qi Ran was, was bought by Lu Quan from Yonganjing this time.

Not long after, both of them brought them up.Honggu's hair is all white and her complexion is ruddy. At first glance, she looks a little like a child with white hair, but she only found out that she was only in her 40s when she asked.

Mao Zhou said, "Lord An, hurry up and ask. After asking, eat something and sleep well. I will bring you my case file tomorrow. You can take it with you when you return to Beijing." After speaking, he turned to ask Honggu : "Guy Hong, what did you do in your master's study last night?"

Honggu knelt on the ground, and quickly kowtowed when she heard her name being called: "Returning to the master, last night... last night the master cooked some meals by himself, and the old woman thought it was time to finish eating, so she went to clean up the dishes .”

"Did you meet anyone on the road?"

"Yes, I just left the kitchen and met the newcomer..."

"Don't talk about those useless things, just ask you about the encounter with the dead."

After being interrupted by Mao Zhou, Hong Gu trembled again in fright, "Going back to the old man, I met it, and it's not far from the old man's study. I walk fast, but this young master walks very slowly. Wait until I go." The study, the master said that there is no need to clean it up. I came back. On the way back, I ran into this young man again, and I was still walking towards the study."

"How do you know he went to the study?"

"That road only leads to the study, not the same road as the banquet."

"That is to say," Mao Zhou said deliberately loudly, "Last night, after midnight, Qi Ran went to Lu Quan's study, right?"

Honggu knelt there, her head so low that she wanted to bury her stomach, "Yes, yes, yes..." Every time she said yes, she nodded her head with all her strength, shrinking her whole body, like being caught by a wolf. The rabbit that was staring at it did not dare to run away, so it could only shrink itself.

"Honggu..." An Shaohua wanted to ask some questions.

"Master An, the prefect of Cangzhou will take over the testimony first. After all..." Mao Zhou cleared his throat, "The case of two lives must be heard by Datian. Erhong, let me ask you, tell the truth Come on."

Erhong was thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face was very simple and honest. He hummed in a rough voice, and then felt that it was unreasonable. to be honest."

Mao Zhou was very generous and forgave Erhong's various mistakes in his speech. "Erhong, tell me how you got burned?"

"The son who lives in this house was yesterday..."

"Don't talk about those useless things. These two adults haven't eaten yet. Can you afford the delay? Just talk about your hands!"

"That son scalded my hand. Yesterday afternoon he..."

"What are you, me and me! There are no rules at all! Go down." Mao Zhou waved his hand, and two yamen servants came and took Honggu and Erhong down.Mao Zhou was like a wolf patrolling his territory, walking slowly, and said with a smile, "My lords, according to Mao, the facts of this case are very clear." Gao Xinli wanted to argue with him, but An Shaohua held down the button. his hand. "I would like to hear the details." Gao Xinli glanced at An Shaohua, and An Shaohua signaled him not to be impatient.Gao Xinli nodded and said no more.Gu Cheng sat in the back and rolled his eyes with hunger.

"This case should start from Yong'an Beijing a month ago." Mao Zhou took out his folding fan, but used it as a pen, swipe in the air, and pointed in the direction of Yong'an Beijing, "Qi Ran, Liu Xiaoxiao's benefactor, He has a lot of affection for this girl Liu Xiaoxiao. But the family background, hehe, when he was rich, the tutor of the Qi family naturally forbade him to bring a woman of Liu Xiaoxiao home. Later, the Qi family now He can't afford it even in the current situation. So he can only watch Liu Xiaoxiao being bought by an old businessman from Cangzhou to make a sequel."

Mao Zhou paused at this point, but An Shaohua and the other three did not give him a message, so he could only continue by himself, "Really, alas! The wind is always blown away by the rain. He came to Lu Mansion to congratulate him, but when he came, he saw Liu Xiaoxiao doing some rough work like an ordinary servant, Qi Ran was naturally furious."

"He went to Lu Quan to argue, but Lu Quan gave him a purple gold crown. That night, drunk Qi Ran found Lu Quan again, and wanted to exchange the purple gold crown for Liu Xiaoxiao. On the way to Lu Quan's study, he met Honggu."

"It's impossible to exchange other people's things for other people's things." Gu Cheng couldn't help but interjected.

"Yes, that's right! Maybe that's what Lu Quan said at the time. Qi Ran became angry and wanted to snatch Liu Xiaoxiao's contract of sale. In the end, he accidentally killed Lu Quan."

"This..." Gu Li almost laughed angrily. He is not a professional, and he can hear many flaws.Even if it was a murder by mistake, what about the murder weapon?You go to ask someone to do something and still bring a knife?There is a problem with motivation!Besides, if the deed of sale was forcibly robbed, where did the deed of sale go?It's almost the same as Qi Peiyuan.An Shaohua pressed Gu Li's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry?"

Gu Ling nodded, and An Shaohua said, "It's almost over." Seeing Gu Ling's expression, An Shaohua smiled slightly, "Don't worry, with me, Master Lu won't die in peace." Gu Ling finally felt relieved.

"Master Mao, please speak." An Shaohua made a gesture of invitation.

Mao Zhou nodded and continued: "After the murder, Qi Ran changed Lu Quan's clothes and burned himself and Lu Quan's bloody clothes together. Then he fled back to his yard."

"The case happened early this morning. Qi Ran didn't expect us to solve the case so quickly. He felt that he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide. The poison was poured into his own wine glass, and the murder weapon and poison in the package are ironclad evidence! There is also the testimony of Aunt Hong and Erhong, the evidence in this case is conclusive. When Mr. Mao writes the case file tomorrow, Mr. An and Mr. Gao will bring it with him when he returns to Beijing."

Gao Xinli nodded An Shaohua's waist, and whispered, "Tomorrow is fourteen."

Now An Shaohua understood that the assessment by the Ministry of Household Affairs was coming soon, Mr. Mao must have hoped to look better in the assessment items, so he did not hesitate to let the real culprit go and close the case in a hurry.

Knowing Mao Zhou's motives did not make An Shaohua and Gao Xinli feel at ease.After sending Mao Zhou away in a hurry, An Shaohua, Gu Li, and Gao Xinli thought together for a while, and finally came up with a solution.After Gao Xinli ate two bites in a hurry, he went to find the assistant of the Ministry of Punishment.

An Shaohua held back Gu Yuqian and told him to give instructions, chattering endlessly.I went to see the doctor three times just to check the pulse, and I wanted to call the doctor, but Gu Cheng gave him a hard look and stopped him from talking.Gu Li took a pill of Xingshen Pill, changed into night clothes, and disappeared into the night.

The night walker in black sneaked in silently.

Lu Xiamiao sat in the room, her mind was out of control.Two quarters of an hour later, a little servant girl ran into the room to announce: "Madam, Master is back."

Lu Xiamiao stood up abruptly, but because of the days of depression and sadness, her eyes darkened and her whole body shook.Lu Xiamiao's husband ran over in three steps at a time, hugged her, helped her to the side of the bed, and took off her shoes and socks. "Xia Miao, lie down quickly."

"Yu Shan, why are you back?"

"I heard that Huan Lang was going to get married, so I hurried to it, but I didn't expect it to be...Xia Miao, what happened to my father? Why did I have a conflict with the Qi family in the capital?"

"What? Yu Shan, what have you heard?" Lu Xiamiao grabbed Yu Shan's sleeve and sat up suddenly.

Yu Shan pressed her hand, turned around and said, "There's no need to wait, you guys go down. Waxie, you can wait at the door."

When everyone went out, Yu Shan whispered, "Guardian Wang Guang's elder brother works as a clerk in the yamen of the prefect of Cangzhou. I just found out and the case has been closed. It is said that my father-in-law robbed a young man named Liu from Yong'an Jing with a brother named Qi Ran." Xiaoxiao's elegant prostitute, the other party killed his father-in-law because he couldn't commit adultery, and committed suicide because the incident was exposed. But father-in-law is definitely not someone who makes enemies for a prostitute!"

"Others may not be able to, but Miss Mingyi is different."

"Ming... You mean, this Liu Xiaoxiao..." Yu Shan held Lu Xia Miao's hand.

Lu Xiamiao nodded to him: "Well, although I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I was already twelve when the house was raided. I remember Miss Mingyi's appearance. Miss looks very much like Madam, the sky has eyes, Father finally found Miss Mingyi!"
