Mu Huagui

Chapter 68 Alliance
Seeing the other party's hand grasping the teacup, the knuckles turned white due to the force, he said in a more determined voice, "Ming people don't speak dark words in front of them. The enemy's enemy is a friend. With the help of the prince of Dongjun, if you can find Lin Daddy, their family must abide by the law. Mother Wang thinks that before she dies, Lin Huihui will not bite out the instigator."

"Why do you hate the Chen family so much? If it wasn't..." Mama Wang finally raised her head and looked at Chen Jiao'er, her eyes were confused, puzzled, and...deep hatred.

"Is the old lady really kind enough to accept me into the mansion? Madam Wang is really good at joking. If I hadn't sent Chen Qiluo back into the palace, I would be trapped in the palace now. If I can be favored, the Chen mansion will help me. If not If you can't be favored, what will happen, I believe that I don't need to say more, Madam Wang is also very clear."

Women in the harem who were not favored by the emperor were thrown into the cold palace or lived in a corner, living a miserable life. This is something everyone understands, and there is no need to explain it.

"What the third young master of the Chen family has done, I believe Ms. Wang is also very clear about it. I believe Mrs. Wang is more aware of the bullying and oppression of the eldest lady since she entered the mansion."

What responded to Chen Jiao'er was a long silence, several times suppressed the mood of drumming, Chen Jiao'er looked calm on the outside, but there was a trace of anxiety in her heart.

"How did you know that I would help you?" Mama Wang asked a question.

Chen Jiao'er was overjoyed, knowing that this was Mama Wang's last test, if the answer satisfied her, there would be unexpected gains.

"If my guess is right, without your secret help, Aunt Yu might not be where she is today." Chen Jiao'er had long suspected that Aunt Yu was young and beautiful and hadn't been engaged yet, so she came to accompany a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, how could the eldest lady be unprepared.

At that time, the relationship between the Elder Master and the Eldest Madam was just right, and there was a harmonious atmosphere in the house. If there was no one to help, she could easily climb into the Elder Master's bed.It was because of Aunt Yu's appearance that the relationship between the two began to break down.

If Mama Wang really had a grudge against the eldest lady, she must have something to do with it.Although Chen Jiao'er had no evidence, her tone was unquestionable.

Mama Wang relaxed her brows and smiled softly, "I didn't expect this old servant to think that the clothes are perfect, but you, a young girl, see through. That's all, it doesn't matter if I help you once."

It was inconvenient for Chen Jiao'er to send her out, so she just took her eyes and silently watched her old figure disappear in front of her step by step.Aunt Su stepped in and said in a low voice, "Mother Wang told the truth."

Chen Jiao'er shook her head. It was just a one-time contact. Naturally, Mother Wang would not tell her everything. She wrote down an address in her heart, thinking, this is enough.

As for the death of the old man, if Lin Da can be punished this time, Chen Desheng can learn a lesson.I don't worry if I don't have a chance to contact Mama Wang again, sooner or later I will find out from her mouth.

Mama Wang has now become the biggest loophole in Chen Desheng and his wife's body. As long as she becomes stronger and stronger, she is not afraid of not having a chance.

Write down the address and ask the servants in the mansion to send it to Zhusheng in Dongjun Wang's Mansion, I believe they will arrange everything.

Li Lu came back and said that he would send the letter to Zhusheng, and Chen Jiao'er was relieved, looking at Li Lu with a complicated mood.On the second day after Li Dafeng reported to the official, she sent Li Xiang's deed of sale to the yamen for record, revoked his slave status, and sent her to a private school with money.

Facing Li Lu and his wife, she thought there would be resentment, revenge or something else, but she didn't expect that they still did their work beautifully as usual.

Taking a deep breath, facing Li Lu's reply, he asked abruptly, "You guys, will you hate me? Your father will go to the Yamen to report to the officials. It's me..."

"Miss is serious. Man said that this matter was voluntary by the slave father. Even if the lady did not speak, sooner or later, the slave father will tell all this. Besides, the miss is willing to get rid of Xiang'er's slavery and send him to Studying, our Li family will always be grateful for Miss's kindness and virtue." Li Lu's attitude is sincere, but it seems that Li Dafeng is open-minded, and since he agreed, even his family members have enlightened him.

Chen Jiao'er didn't say much, but she thought in her heart how to save Li Dafeng's life afterwards.

Zhusheng sent the address to Zhou Mingyuan as soon as he got it, and without further ado, Zhou Mingyuan sent secret guards to investigate.

"If Lin Da is brought back, the case will be closed." Zhu Sheng said happily.

"Why, I can't live in the yamen, and I want to go back to the mansion." Zhou Mingyuan was too lazy to expose his small thoughts, and teased casually.

"How can that be? Of course the younger one will follow the elder son. Wherever the elder son is, the younger one will serve wherever he is." Zhu Sheng shook his body, wondering if the elder son had some trouble with Miss Chen again, and his mood was upbeat. It was not very good the first time I came back, and I didn't dare to speak again, so I sneaked to the door and shrank back.

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, and flipped through the file. This case is both simple and difficult.The simple thing is that if Lin Da is found, he is willing to confess to murder and steal money, and the case will be solved.

The difficulty lies in the fact that if a servant dares to commit such a big case, it may not make sense if no one instigates him.Whoever instigated it, it's almost ready to come out, is Chen Desheng, but this letter is really not enough to convict him.

The parents of the deceased Ms. Chen were also officials. Could they have any entanglements with Chen Desheng when they were officials in the court? Zhou Mingyuan looked at Chen Junyu's life again.

A candidate for a bachelor's degree from the Imperial Academy of the fifth grade, his knowledge and character are praised by everyone.He is informal, free and easy and romantic, and loves to travel very much. He has written several travel notes, which describe the mountains and rivers and landforms in detail.

Because of his father's death, Ding You went back to observe his filial piety, but in just a few years, both the husband and wife passed away. One died unexpectedly after falling from a startled horse, and the other was pregnant and overwhelmed with grief, and both died after dystocia.

Then the young Ms. Chen was taken away from her hometown and went to her family in the capital, but she was killed on the way and her body sank to the bottom of the river.The seemingly unconnected matter made Zhou Mingyuan suspicious.

In just a few years, almost all the family members died. Is it really just an accident?

Thinking of Chen Desheng's intervention, I'm afraid this matter is not accidental, and it's not even as simple as it appears on the surface.

The west suburb of the city is a Zhuangzi where Chen Desheng's golden house is hidden. Because the location is very secret, Chen Desheng brought his concubine to the city for the convenience of meeting afterwards, and hid several desperadoes he recruited from the rivers and lakes here.

But Ms. Wang found out that Chen Desheng had bought a pair of twin sisters from the brothel, so she found traces of pearls and came here to inquire.When the time is ripe, I can tell the eldest lady.But I don't want to, Chen Jiao'er is cheap at this time.

After finding out the number of people in Zhuangzi, the dark guards mobilized several times the force of the opponent, and wiped out all the people in Zhuangzi.This was also Zhou Mingyuan's order, not to leak a single word, and not to let anyone go.

Not surprisingly, Lin Dazheng was imprisoned in Zhuangzi's dungeon.

Zhou Mingyuan interrogated Lin Da in the middle of the night, and the sleepy Zhusheng cheered up and stood aside, carefully looking at the man lying at his feet, the middle-aged fat man whose face was blue with fright.With a look of panic on his face, he kept patting his head at Zhou Mingyuan, shouting for injustice.

"Wrong, what wronged you?" Zhou Mingyuan raised his legs and asked casually.

"Little one, the little one didn't kill anyone, didn't kill anyone." Lin Da rolled his eyes, trying to understand his situation, and never mentioned anything else.

"You didn't kill anyone. Well, I'm going to ask you, how did you escape when all the people on the boat died? How did your companions die? What kind of property did the robbers take away?" Zhou Mingyuan quickly Ask a series of questions.

Zhusheng picked up the pen, recorded what Lin Da said one by one, and asked Lin Da to sign it after checking.Zhou Mingyuan flicked his confession, clicked his tongue a few times, and said

"I have compared the dossiers you made ten years ago. Although the servants were all drowned, there was no sign of struggle. It is very likely that they were knocked out and thrown into the water. It is the drug you said. It fits."

Lin Dazao and Lin Zhicong had confronted each other about their confessions, and the answers at this time were orderly.Lin Da, who was lying on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and secretly wiped the sweat dripping down his chin with his cuff.

"It's just..." Zhou Mingyuan cast a sneering glance at Lin Da who was underground, and said slowly, "Since all of Mrs. Chen's properties have been robbed by thieves, why is this hairpin in your mother-in-law's jewelry box?"

Lin Da opened his eyes wide, only then did he see Zhou Mingyuan playing with a green jade hairpin carved into the shape of a phoenix in his hand.The phoenix head is also inlaid with a phoenix crown made of rubies. Under the light, it is as dazzling as the colorful clouds in the sky.

Of course he knew, and because of knowing, Lin Da would break out in a cold sweat.This is the most precious piece of my wife's jewelry, and it was given by the master when we got married.

When handing over all the belongings, Lin begged in every possible way, so Lin Da secretly hid the hairpin.Fortunately, Mrs. Lin also has a sense of fun, but only occasionally took it out to play with, and never dared to wear it on her head to go out and show off.After a long time, Lin Da also forgot about the hairpin.

Lin Da, whose teeth were trembling in fear, insisted, "I don't know, this is a customer who brought me to the store and asked me if I would accept it. I saw that the price was right, so I took it and gave it to my wife. Jewelry , much the same, maybe just the same style.”

"It seems that you will not give up until the Yellow River. Every piece of jewelry in Dingbaoji is very valuable. I heard that there is a special ledger to record when and where it was sold. And..." Zhou Mingyuan touched it Touching the hairpin, pointing to the back of the ruby ​​and phoenix crown, he continued, "Also, I heard that they engrave the word 'treasure' on every inconspicuous place of jewelry. I don't know if it's true."

"How about, let's look for it." Zhou Mingyuan said and really handed the hairpin in front of Lin Da. Seeing his smiling face, Lin Da didn't dare to say a word, just kept a sentence "I don't know, I don't know. Small injustice."

"From a young age, if you don't beat him, you won't know your last name. Let the yamen servants drag you down to torture him, and then you'll remember." Zhu Sheng snarled beside him, acting as a dutiful dog's leg.
