Chapter 570 Doubt

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, but seeing Lu Xiu's serious expression, she also nodded and said, "Speak, I'm listening."

Luxiu took a deep breath, organized his words, and then said: "Madam, Luyun and Luyi were killed by someone!"

Mrs. Xie sighed lightly when she heard the words, and comforted: "I know, those bandits are really mad. When we go back, I will let the government wipe out these lawless bandits!"

"Ma'am, Lvyun and Lvyi were not killed by bandits. After the bandits left, they were still alive and well. Someone else killed them, and the murderer threw them into the bamboo forest in an extremely cruel way. The earth is burned to death!" Lu Xiu burst into tears, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Mrs. Xie obviously didn't expect the two servant girls to die so tragically, she quickly stretched out her hand to support the green sleeve, and asked with a frown, "Tell me carefully, what happened?"

Lu Xiu then told Xie Shi everything that happened after she woke up.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie frowned even more, and asked thoughtfully, "You mean, Miss Biao saw that the murderer was a woman in blue?"

Luxiu nodded, "Miss Biao said so, but this servant finds it strange, if the murderer is really that person, then why did she attack Luyun and Luxiu?"

Xie also felt very puzzled, and she vaguely guessed the identity of the woman in blue, she should be the maid next to Li Meier, who ventured into the bamboo forest to save people when the fire was raging.

If it was really her, it would be even more unreasonable, she went in to save people, how could she kill two unimportant maids.

Mrs. Xie frowned and thought about it. The green sleeve on the other side calmed down, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Madam, this slave should not have said this, but it is related to the life of Luyun and Lvyi. This slave must say it. ...Miss Biao is a little strange."

Mrs. Xie was pulled back from her thoughts by Lu Xiu's words, her eyes flickered, and she looked at her and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Xiu gritted her teeth and said, as if she had made up her mind, "When I woke up, Miss Biao was not in the Zen room. Later, I found out that Huang Ying and Huang Oriole were dead, and I was very frightened, but Miss Biao acted very calmly. It's as if... I already knew they were dead.

There is also Miss Biao’s close maid, Ju Rui, who disappeared beside Miss Biao before the bandits appeared, and never appeared again. Miss Biao said that she was taken away by bandits. The words she said at that time His expression was very determined, as if he saw Ju Rui being taken away with his own eyes.

And Miss Li, she also seemed to see it with her own eyes.But there is one thing that the slaves really can't figure out, since those bandits are so vicious, they killed Huang Oriole and Huang Ying, and kidnapped Miss Li and Ju Rui, so why did they let Miss Biao alone? "

After Luxiu finished the long series of conjectures, her expression showed deep fear. In her heart, she had already decided who was the murderer.

Mrs. Xie was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at her again and asked: "When Lvyun Lvyi died, was only Biao girl there?"

Lu Xiu nodded resolutely, "Yes, at that time, the servant thought that the young lady hadn't escaped and was hiding somewhere in the monastery, so she asked Miss Biao to help me take care of the two of them, but the servant didn't leave long before I heard their screams Voice……"

Lu Xiu recalled the miserable screams of the two, and still felt chills in his heart.

Xie's expression was serious, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter carefully, and I will definitely not let Lvyun and Lvyi die in vain."

Luxiu told Mrs. Xie everything, and her emotions finally calmed down a lot, but the whole person was still in extreme sadness.

After Mrs. Xie asked the green sleeves to be sent away.So he asked the guards to carry the four corpses out, and seeing that there was nothing else going on here, he left in a hurry.

She had to go back to the Zen room quickly, and she couldn't let Lu Zhiwei meet her daughter.Although what Luxiu said didn't explain anything, it was indeed a little strange that Lu Zhiwei was able to escape unscathed this time. She couldn't let this unstable factor stay by her daughter's side.

Xie left with the guards.Jiang and Zhou Hanyu were still asking the monks in the temple to see if anyone knew the secret path leading down the mountain.

It's a pity that I asked more than a dozen questions, but there was no result.

A young monk aged sixteen or seventeen saw how anxious the two were, so he suggested to them: "We usually work in the front hall, and we are not familiar with the terrain of the back mountain. Ask Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yuan Wen grew up in the temple and stayed in the back mountain for a while, maybe he will know."

Jiang was very grateful when she heard the words, and quickly saluted the young monk, "Thank you, little master, may I ask where is the master, and we will look for him right away."

"Senior Brother Yuan Wen was helping put out the fire just now, and now he should be taking care of those injured brothers. The monk will take you to find him." The young monk led the two of them to look for him.

The group quickly found the monk Yuanwen in a meditation room.

The young monk knew that Mrs. Jiang was in a hurry, so he found someone and asked directly: "Senior brother, do you know what is the path down the back mountain? These two female benefactors want to know."

"The path down the mountain..." Yuan Wen frowned and thought for a while, before suddenly saying: "I remember that there seems to be such a path. I heard from the original abbot master that it was used to transport stone materials when the Zen house was first built, but after the temple was built It's discarded."

"Where is it? Master, please take us there!" Jiang Shi almost cried with joy, and immediately asked aloud.

"I only know the approximate location. I can take you to look for it, but I'm not sure I can find it." Yuan Wen was a little embarrassed, and raised his hand in a Buddhist ceremony, a little embarrassed.

"That's enough. We will find it carefully if we look carefully." Zhou Hanyu said confidently.

Yuan Wen entrusted the injured monks to the young monks to take care of them, and he led Jiang and Zhou Han to the place he knew.

"The general location should be around here, but it has been almost a hundred years since the temple was first built, and I'm not sure if that road is still there." Yuan Wen said to the two.

As if she didn't hear what he said later, Mrs. Jiang immediately searched for the bushy place.

Zhou Hanyu was also with her naturally.

Naturally, Fang Wen would not just watch the two female benefactors busy, and then help them search together.

Jiang searched very carefully and carefully, even if those branches scratched her cheek and the back of her hand, she didn't realize it.

The three of them searched intently for about a quarter of an hour, and Zhou Hanju finally found some clues in one place.

"Sister, come here and see, is this blood?" She turned her head excitedly and shouted at Jiang Shi.
