Chapter 857 Clues (4)
"Just take this box of incense powder and go."

Qingli took out a box of incense powder from her sleeve pocket, it was given to Shui Lingli when she visited Shui Lingli, it was made in the palace, that is to say, it was exclusively used by concubines in the palace, this box was the best incense The powder is delicate and bright in color, which was bestowed by the White Queen, of course it is the highest standard in the palace.

Qingli felt that the other party had been a procuress in Fengyang for so many years, so she should also be a knowledgeable person. If she didn't know the palace system, it would be a big joke.She did this because she gave gifts to bring her closer, hoping that the other party would cooperate, and secondly, she used this box of incense powder to tell Mei Niang that she is not someone who can be easily offended.

Sure enough, after a while, there were hurried footsteps in the courtyard, the little old man opened the door to the backyard, and a jeweled woman stood at the door, stroking the pearl flowers on her temples with her hand, "Oh, but here is a distinguished guest, Hurry up, please come in, we are not accepting customers at Wanhua Building today, it is a neglect."

Mei Niang is full of smiles, she looks very sharp and smooth, she has been in the market all year round, her eyes are poisonous, from the box of incense powder just now, she thinks of the recent life lawsuit, otherwise there is no big person looking for her at this time, Xiang The powder is made in the palace, and the hollow pattern on it is definitely not something that a craftsman in the market can carve out. When you open it, you can see that there are two layers, the top is face powder, and the bottom is face cream. , according to people is more clear, this kind of palace system, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy it.

Qingli was welcomed by Mei Niang to a luxuriously furnished side hall on the first floor. When she entered the door, there was a sensation in the quiet Wanhua Building. Many girls opened the door and looked at it curiously.

"This beautiful lady came to Wanhualou, but because of the murder three days ago?"

Ming people don't speak dark words, Mei Niang greeted the maids around her to bring tea and snacks, and went straight to the topic.Qingli thought she had to deal with a few more words, but seeing that Mei Niang is a kind-hearted person, she was very straightforward, she nodded, "That's right, it's precisely for this purpose that I came here."

"But you suspect that Mei Niang is the murderer?"

Mei Niang smiled slightly, and even a discerning person would think it was a coincidence, but the murderer would definitely not be her, because the timing of the incident was too coincidental, and she also suspected the murderer's motive.Someone died in Wanhualou, and she was the one who suffered the most. The government closed the Hualou, and there was no business for a few days.

These benefactors have no conscience. In the Peony Building next door, a group of new women from different races have recently arrived. They dance gracefully and carry fragrance on them. Han has any sincerity.

"Just don't believe in coincidence."

Meiniang spoke directly, which shocked Qingli again. She didn't drink the tea in the flower building, but kept rubbing the cup wall with the lid, raised her head, and looked at Meiniang seriously.

The guy said he was about 40 or [-] years old, about the same age, with thick makeup and a scent on his body, Mei Niang's eyes had fine wrinkles, her Danfeng eyes were slightly raised, and she looked sharp and sharp. beauty.

"Meiniang doesn't believe it either."

Mei Niang sighed, and Qingli stared carefully at the depths of her eyes, but the other party's eyes were open, without any intention of dodging, either he was a murderer with a strong psychological quality, or he was very innocent, it really had nothing to do with her, Qingli prefers the latter.

"This Master Wu, is he a frequent visitor of Wanhualou?"

There are some things that Mrs. Shen and the staff don't know, so they can only come here to ask Meiniang.If it was a trap, the murderer must be very familiar with the whereabouts of the bully Mr. Wu, and he must have made up his mind early to kill him in the chaotic Wanhualou.

"From two months ago, every month."

This Mr. Wu turned out to be a small businessman in Pingyang City. Because of the soaring price of grain and grass during the Pingyang war, he really made a fortune. When the prefect’s third aunt Wu returned to Pingyang to visit relatives, he hooked up with him through a gift. The two immediately became like brothers and sisters.

Mr. Wu has money, but he is worried that he has no backing. These days, small merchants have money and are worried that they will not be able to feed their parents. It is a surprise to be able to get on the line of Fengyang prefect. He came to Fengyang to develop because of Ji prefect. In the background, the merchants in Fengyang can only consider themselves unlucky, and forced buying and selling often happen, and everyone hates him to the bone.

"So, Master Shen didn't have the motive to kill?"

The bully Mr. Wu bullies the market, and even snatches the tender and green girl as a concubine. There are many people who want him to die. In Mei Niang's words, but only Mr. Shen appeared in Wanhualou that day.

According to the officials, Master Shen drank too much wine and went to the latrine. When he saw Master Wu, who had been relieved, the two had a verbal argument. Master Shen got mad and stabbed Master Wu to death.

"The source of the murder weapon?"

Qingli felt that the official servant was very good at making up stories, anyway, Master Shen must have been drinking at the time, and they all said that after drinking, one would be courageous, and anything could happen.

"I picked it up from the ground in the hut."

Mei Niang shook her head helplessly, she wanted to convict a person, as long as the physical evidence and motive for killing were enough.A girl from Hualou proved that Master Shen was covered in blood, the murder weapon was on the ground, and the motive for the murder was also there. The two of them were dirty because of the cloth village.

This Mr. Wu has a characteristic, that is, he likes to drink. Every time he drinks too much, he can't find the southeast and northwest. Urine smell, I am used to go to the hut in the yard to solve it, and let it out by the way.

"The girls in Hualou all know that he is not capable of sex."

Mei Niang teased a few words, seeing that Qingli was a tender girl, she restrained herself a bit.The reason why I cooperated with Master Shen this time is that I still have a relationship with Qingli. Meiniang is well informed, knowing that the Shen family has a close relationship with Qingli, and she is the future wife of the major general. Meiniang wants to use this opportunity to build a good relationship .

"It's strange to say that at the beginning, the slave family didn't have the idea of ​​cooperating with the Shen family. A few days ago, in the corridor, I heard the girls in the two buildings talking, and then I changed my mind. I didn't want to hurt Master Shen."

The matter is complicated and confusing, Qing Li was stunned, the murderer will not do useless work, there are only two possibilities to kill Master Wu, one is to have an enmity with Master Wu, and when he learns about his relationship with the prefect's third aunt, Master Shen is out of luck and appears At the scene of the crime, he became a scapegoat.Another is that he had a grudge with Mr. Shen, and deliberately designed all this to put blame on him. The dead Mr. Wu may be unlucky.

When Mei Niang said this, Qing Li directly ruled out the former, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be targeting Master Shen.Based on this, if Master Shen was beheaded or tortured to death in prison, who would be the beneficiary?Especially in cloth village business, whose mouth will a piece of fat sheep fall into?

"This girl, the servant has an impression."

At this time, the maid serving tea beside Meiniang had a serious expression on her face. She was also with Meiniang that day, and just came back from her trip. The girl had a sharp voice, and she recognized it as a low-level prostitute in the backyard, named Guizhi.
