Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 116 The Murderer
Fu Yin was taken aback, but ignored Chu Ruoying, and waved his hand behind him. Soon, four guards rushed into the room, and stepped forward to lift Aunt Jin's body.

"What happened?" A majestic voice sounded, and soon Chu Lie came into Chu Ruoying's sight. Chu Lie frowned as he looked at the mess in front of him.

Chu Ruoying quietly followed the crowd out of the house and stood in the courtyard without answering Chu Lie's question, quietly thinking about who did the trick.

"General Chu, I handed over my sister to you. I was wronged a few days ago. I came here to visit today, but I lost my life. General Chu must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will not give up. . " The governor's attitude was firm, but there was not much sadness in his eyes.

Only then did Chu Ruoying know that the governor was Aunt Jin and the brother of the person who made trouble a few days ago, Li Minnan.

Chu Lie stepped forward to look at Aunt Jin's injury, as well as the dagger that Chu Ruoying was still holding, and said with a frown, "Master Li, can you describe what happened just now?"

Li Minnan naturally nodded in agreement, and said: "The lower official was passing by the Chu Mansion. He thought that his sister had been wronged, so he came in to take a look. Who would have thought that just after entering the yard, he heard the maid's cry, and the lower official stepped forward to see her?" I found that my younger sister died in the room, and Miss Chu was the only one standing in the room."

Everyone in the courtyard also looked at Chu Ruoying when they heard the words, and some whispered to each other to figure it out.

Although Chu Lie was dissatisfied with Chu Ruoying in his heart, he also believed that Chu Ruoying was not a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, Chu Ruoying was about to become the concubine of Jin Shi, so there was really no need to make trouble with an aunt of her status. After thinking about it, he asked in a deep voice, "Ying'er, why are you here?"

Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, and asked calmly: "On the way, I met a maid in Aunt Jin's courtyard. The maid said that Aunt Jin was looking for me, so I followed that maid all the way to Aunt Jin's courtyard. There was no one in the air, and I was worried about Aunt Jin, so I stepped forward and pushed the door open. Who knew that the dagger flew out as soon as the door was opened. I picked up the dagger from the ground, saw blood on it, and looked into the room. Aunt Jin has already had an accident, and then she was wronged by Master Li and became a murderer."

Seeing that she was not flustered, Chu Lie couldn't help thinking of the scene of a maid who died in her courtyard a few days ago. Only then did he realize that no matter what the situation was, his daughter was never nervous This made him feel a little regretful, if only she were a boy, it would be great.

Yan Ruwei who rushed over naturally also heard Chu Ruoying's words, and a dark light flashed in his eyes very quickly. This Chu Ruoying is really not to be underestimated. Except for Yingying's gaffe in the first meeting, she always treated herself indifferently in other situations. She failed to make a plan and tried another plan. She changed her method and started to take the initiative to attack, but she still suffered a crushing defeat in her hands. At this moment, everyone in the courtyard All the disadvantages point to Chu Ruoying, and she believes that Chu Ruoying can get rid of it safely.

After hearing what she said, Chu Lie nodded and said, "When you came out, was there no maid by your side? What about the maid who led the way?"

Chu Ruoying looked around, and said lightly: "Aunt Jin seems to often punish people physically, that maid has many bruises on her body, I couldn't bear it, so I asked Li Xia to take her to apply medicine, and after a while It's time to come back."

"My sister has always been kind-hearted, how could she punish someone physically!" Li Minnan was furious when he heard the words, and stepped forward to accuse her.

Chu Ruoying didn't care, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and said indifferently: "The person has passed away, why bother with these things, I just mentioned it casually, why does Master Li do this, could it be that Aunt Jin really did this, the reason why Master Li is so emotional Passionate, but trying to cover up?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Minnan's complexion darkened, he pointed his index finger at Chu Ruoying, and said angrily.

"Whether you are talking nonsense or not, Mr. Li knows it in his heart." Chu Ruoying took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped off the blood stains on her hands. After seeing Li Xia's figure from the corner of her eye, she continued: "Two The maid has already returned, does father have anything to ask?"

Li Xia walked forward with the maid, bowed to everyone, and then quietly stood beside Chu Ruoying.

"Are you the maid next to Aunt Jin?" Chu Lie looked at the maid and asked in a deep voice.

"Slave. Slave is a second-class maid in Xiangju Garden. She went to find the eldest lady because of my aunt's orders." The maid was a little nervous, and her tone was a little flustered.

"Do you know what happened to Aunt Jin?" Chu Lie continued to ask.

"I don't know." The servant girl shook her head and said, "The servant girl is just a second-class servant girl. Because the maidservants around my aunt are busy, I let the servant girl go to find the eldest lady. As for what the master means, the servant girl does not know." understood."

Chu Lie nodded. She was indeed a second-class maid. The master would not trust her too much. Most of the time she was doing rough work and running errands.

"Then where did all the servants in this courtyard go just now?" Chu Lie asked with a frown as he looked at the people in the courtyard.

A well-dressed woman came out, bowed to everyone, and said: "The slave is Xinhua, the big maid next to Aunt Jin, and everyone in this courtyard obeys the order of Aunt Jin, and the general can also ask The other servant girls in the courtyard are all true."

Chu Ruoying couldn't help but smile when she heard the words. This plan was really well planned. Chu Ruoying glanced at Yan Ruwei who was at the side. After the two looked at each other, Chu Ruoying nodded and then turned her gaze away again. On that maid.

Yan Ruwei was shocked, thinking that Chu Ruoying had already begun to doubt her, but then she thought that she had never interfered in this matter from the beginning to the end, even if there was a flaw, she would never suspect herself. Only then did he feel relieved and continued to wait and see.

Chu Lie was still silent, thinking about how to cover up this matter, but Li Minnan said again: "According to the officials, Miss Chu is indeed suspected, and now there is insufficient evidence, so she should be taken into custody."

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Ruoying again, thinking about how Chu Lie would deal with this matter, the whole courtyard was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

"Master Li, according to my opinion, there are many doubts about this matter. I cannot hand Yinger over to you!" Chu Lie frowned and refused without hesitation.

Seeing that Chu Lie directly rejected his request, Li Minnan's face became ugly, and he said bluntly: "Why, does Master Chu think that the younger sister of the lower official is not worth it? The younger sister of the lower official has only been in the house for more than two months. , now that he has died tragically, do you really not take the lower officials seriously?"

Seeing that his words were full of arrogance, Chu Lie immediately felt disgusted, and said bluntly: "Anyway, you can't take Yinger away!"

Li Minnan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, but because of Chu Lie's identity, he was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Chu Ruoying.

"Master Li, as an official of the imperial court, you should be very clear about the legal provisions of Xiao Guo, right?" Chu Ruoying asked with a smile.

"It's natural." Li Minnan said without hesitation.

The smile on Chu Ruoying's face deepened when she heard the words, and she continued: "That's good, a woman is married and obeys her husband. Since Aunt Jin has entered my Chu family, she is naturally a member of my Chu family. Whether she lives or dies It's not up to Mrs. Li to make the decision, let alone I am the eldest daughter of the Chu family, the future concubine Jin, let's not talk about who is responsible for Aunt Jin's death, even if it is related to me, I have to report it if I want to take him into custody and investigate the case The Emperor Ming is the one, why did Lord Li decide on his own, could it be that he has been the governor for a long time, thought that the power is his own, forgot the emperor's kindness like a mountain, and wanted to replace it?"

Chu Ruoying's voice was clear and light, and her speech was not in a hurry, but it made Li Minnan break out in a cold sweat, and said anxiously: "Miss Chu, please be careful, the emperor is as kind as a mountain, and the officials don't dare Forget each other, but the deceased is the relative's sister of a subordinate official, and it's all in a moment of urgency."

"However, it's urgent. If Miss Chu really has nothing to do with this matter, how about going to the prison? Or is it because Miss Chu has ghosts in her heart and dare not go!" Lin Minnan is worthy of being the governor of Changxin. While explaining her mistakes clearly, she was aggressive at the same time, and she was still unwilling to let Chu Ruoying be safe.

"Master Li's words are wrong, and Ying'er is naturally innocent." Chu Lie said without hesitation with a righteous face.

"That's good." A triumphant smile appeared in Li Minnan's eyes, and he raised his hand to let the guards behind him come forward, "Come here, take Miss Chu back."

"I'll see who dares!" A sullen voice sounded from the entrance of the courtyard, and everyone couldn't help but feel chills, and moved out of the way tremblingly. Mu Ziyuan was wearing a dark blue robe, which was prepared by Chu Ruoying before going to Zhengcheng. Yes, I gave it to him when he came back. Mu Ziyuan was always dressed in black, and he was full of evil spirits. Now that he changed his color, he looked a little more arrogant than before.

Naturally, Li Minnan has also heard of Mu Ziyuan's reputation, and he couldn't help but feel chills at the moment. It's just that this matter is one step away, and he is about to succeed. Naturally, he refused to give up, and said calmly: "Jin Shizi What is the meaning of this? Could it be that you want to embarrass the subordinates?"

"Yes, so what!" Mu Ziyuan strode forward, blocked Chu Ruoying behind him with a cold face, and said sinisterly.

Li Minnan's face was ugly, and he sneered, "Your Majesty Jin, how can you be so partial?"

"Favouritism?" Mu Ziyuan snorted indifferently, and said coldly: "Not to mention that she didn't do it at all, even if she did, it doesn't matter, but a lowly concubine, if she dies, she will die." gone."

"Young Master Jin, you are too arrogant, you still remember that this world belongs to the emperor!" Li Minnan's eyes flashed a dark color, and he said boldly.
