Volume 2: The Endless and Gentle Blush of the Setting Sun 185, Murder in the Uncle's Mansion (Part 2)

When Xie Qingyun heard this, he understood that since Wu Guojiu was confiscated, where did he get the money to prostitute the powerful and loving pets of Liguo? And it took him for several days.

"Why did the emperor protect his uncle so much? According to the law of history, he would be assassinated at the very least." He continued to ask.

"This..." Chen Liang was also a little weak, "The main reason is that His Majesty and the Queen have a good relationship. The Queen has passed away for more than ten years. His Majesty has refused to establish a new queen. He should love the house and the Wushu."

Such a ridiculous person is worthy of being stabbed to death at home. But Emperor Ku would not accept such a result. Who is the real murderer and why he killed his uncle? These must be investigated clearly.

"What do the minister's descendants do?" Xie Qingyun said.

Chen Liang glanced at Ma Yong, and Ma Yong said, "After the incident, their family has returned to their hometown in Yunzhou."

"Send someone to Yunzhou immediately to ask his family and see if there is anyone missing." Xie Qingyun said.

Chen Liang said: "Is the immortal suspicious of revenge?"

"It's not impossible." Xie Qingyun said.

He now felt that this case was very difficult. The murderer should not have committed the crime for an impulse, otherwise he would not have stayed on Liang for so long, just to wait for Wu Guojiu to come back. Zhang Song's death added a bit of suspense to the case.

If it is a revenge, why do you have to kill Zhang Song? Is there any reason for Zhang Song to die?

Chen Liang said, "Lao Sha, go and have a trip."

"Yes." The sand scenery trail went.

Xie Qingyun said: "Tell me about the situation at my uncle's family."

Chen Liang said: "The father-in-law of the country is the hereditary Marquis of Wu. His family has been honored for generations. However, Marquis of Wu died early. The uncle inherited his title at the age of 20. His foundation is unstable. In addition, the uncle cannot manage it. Empress Wu died of illness, and the Wu family gradually lost its glory. When they reach the uncle of Wu, the population has withered, and only the uncle and the wife of the Southern Kingdom."

"Madam Nan?" Xie Qingyun said.

"Wu Xiuru, the sister of Wu's uncle," Chen Liang said with a smile, "The adults are not unfamiliar with his husband's family."

"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said.

Chen Liang smiled and said, "Wu Xiuru's husband is Qi Jingyi, the eldest son of the Qi family, our Public Security Department. Therefore, despite the loss of power in the Wu family, Wu Xiuru was still named the wife of the Southern Kingdom with the favor of the emperor and the power of the Qi family."

"How is their relationship with brother and sister?" Xie Qingyun said.

"I don't know this villain." Chen Liang shook his head.

Qi Jingyi is actually Wu Guojiu’s brother-in-law, so the possibility of the Qi family framing me with Wu Guojiu is almost zero... Xie Qingyun completely excluded the Qi family and ordered, "Go, bring a table and two chairs."

The table and chairs were moved over, Xie Qingyun sat down one of them and said to Chen Liang, "Call the servants of the uncle's mansion one by one, I want to ask questions alone. Well, let's start with the chef Lao Cui."

"Ma Yong, go and bring Lao Cui." Chen Liang immediately ordered.

"Okay." Ma Yong ran away immediately, and soon he took a man about fifty years old. He stood in front of Xie Qingyun timidly, "Big, sir, I didn't hide the word "small" and said everything I should say."

"Old Cui, sit down." Xie Qingyun pointed to the chair opposite.

"Let me, let me sit?" Lao Cui shrank his head like a frightened quail.

"If you want to sit, what's the point of not letting you sit?" Ma Yong rudely pressed Lao Cui to the chair, then smiled at Xie Qingyun, "The immortal can start asking questions." But he muttered in his heart, why did he sit for him?

Xie Qingyun waved his hand and signaled Ma Yong to retreat aside. As soon as Ma Yong walked away, Lao Cui suddenly became a little more comfortable and no longer looked timid. "Do you suspect that the villain killed? It's okay for a villain to kill chickens and ducks, but you must never kill someone."

"Don't be afraid," Xie Qingyun said with a gentle voice, "Just ask you something, tell me the process of discovering the body."

Lao Cui said it in his words, which was similar to what Chen Liang told him, without any new details.

Xie Qingyun asked again: "How are the uncle doing to you normally?"

Lao Cui said: "It's just like that, it's okay not to drink. If you don't drink it, you will beat me and scold me. Once the small dishes were not washed clean, you were beaten up..." He said a lot, all of which were the details of his life in the mansion.

Chen Liang and Ma Yong rolled their eyes when they heard this, and they felt that Xie Qingyun had made the investigation process very complicated.

Xie Qingyun listened carefully but still gained nothing. He said, "Old Cui, who is the gatekeeper?"

"It's Lao Sun, Sun Li." Lao Cui said immediately...

Xie Qingyun ordered, "Ma Yong, take Lao Cui back and bring Sun Li over. Anyone I have asked can move freely in the mansion."

"Yes." Ma Yong went there immediately. After a while, Sun Li was brought over and was still invited to sit on a chair. He was about forty years old and a little uneasy, but he was calmer than Lao Cui, perhaps because the gatekeeper saw more people.

"Sun Li." Xie Qingyun shouted.

"It's a villain." Sun Li nodded quickly.

"In the past three days, who have visited the uncle's mansion?" Xie Qingyun said.

Sun Li recalled: "There are Li Dongxing, the son of the Li family, Xie Yao, the Minister of Works, Xu Jinhua, and the second lady..."

"What did they visit the Grand Duke's Mansion?" Xie Qingyun said.

"I don't know this little one." Sun Li said.

"How is their relationship with the uncle?" Xie Qingyun said.

"Li Dongxing and Xie Yao are the young master's friends and often drink together." Sun Li said, "Second Miss has not come back often since she got married. Even if she comes back, she will most likely have a quarrel with the young master."

"Why did it start to quarrel?" Xie Qingyun said.

"Young master always causes trouble, and almost all the second lady comes forward to settle it." Sun Li said.

Xie Qingyun thought for a while and said, "Who is the one who has worked the longest in the mansion?"

"Xi Po." Sun Li immediately said, "She is the wet nurse of the old marquis."

"Ma Yong, go and bring Xi Po." Xie Qingyun said. When Ma Yong went to find Xi Po, he ordered Chen Liang again, "Call all the people Sun Li said just now, I want to ask questions one by one."

"The Minister of Works and the Lady of the South are all called?" Chen Liang said.

Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "Of course, I am a royal license now. I will check as much as I want. If you want, check whoever I want. Just be tough when you go there, and I will support you. "

"Okay!" Chen Liang smiled and strode away.

Soon, Ma Yong brought Xi Po over. This was an old woman with wrinkles on her face. She was a little scared when she saw Xie Qingyun, but she calmed down after sitting down.

"Xi Po, I heard you are the wet nurse of the old marquis?" Xie Qingyun said.

"Yes, yes." Xi Po said.

"In your opinion, who in the mansion is most likely to kill the uncle?" Xie Qingyun said.

Xi Po’s face changed: “Does the lord suspect that I am waiting? God is pitiful. Although the young master is not good to me, he will never dare to have a second thought.”

"Xi Po, it's not suspicion, it's just a question." Xie Qingyun said with a smile.

Seeing him speaking with warm words, Xi Po felt a little relieved and said, "Even if I have resentment in my heart, I will never harm the young master. Most of the mansions are old people, but I am waiting to see them grow up."

Seeing that she couldn't find anything, Xie Qingyun asked her to go back first. Then she asked a few maids and the servants. The four people Chen Liang had invited arrived.

"Let the Minister of Works come first." He ordered Chen Liang.

Chen Liang went outside to bring Xu Jinghua, Minister of Works. Xu Jinghua was well maintained. He was called as soon as he arrived home. Although the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, his face, which was pale and beardless, was already full of frost.

"I dare not delay Lord Shangshu," Xie Qingyun saw Xu Jinghua standing sideways with a cold face, and didn't take him seriously at all, and said with a smile, "So we should sit down and talk if we were the first to invite the Lord over?"

Xu Jinghua's face cleared a little, and she sat in the chair, "Let me tell me, I'm busy!"

Xie Qingyun looked at him with a smile: "What kind of official duties do you have to be busy with?"

"I can't tell you." Xu Jinghua cold

Cold road.

Xie Qingyun said, "So, why do you know what happened to you when you visit the uncle's mansion on the afternoon of the 16th? I heard from the maid who served tea that you seem to have had an argument with the uncle."

"Do you doubt me?" Xu Jinghua was furious.

"Just just ask, if it wasn't done by the adults, why bother to be angry?" Xie Qingyun's face was light. He had no patience with this Shangshu.

Xu Jinghua's face was gloomy and gloomy. After a moment, he said, "This matter is about Your Majesty. If you want me to say that the consequences are all your responsibility."

"Sir, just say, I can afford it." Xie Qingyun said lightly.

Xu Jinghua waved his hand to repel Chen Liang and others, and then said, "Your Majesty intends to give the uncle a ministry and ask him to supervise the venue of the martial arts conference, but my official came to report that the uncle had only been there for a full six days. Then I came to advise."

"Then why are you quarreling in the living room?" Xie Qingyun said.

"I tried to expose His Majesty's good intentions to the uncle," Xu Jinghua said angrily, "Who knew that he was not grateful at all and wanted to drive me away. I just quarreled with him. Why? Do you think this is the one who did it? Xie Qingyun, the case was told to tell the evidence!"

"Sir, don't be angry," Xie Qingyun said with a smile, "I want to hear your conversation that day."

Xu Jinghua said coldly: "I have forgotten it. Xie Qingyun, I am short of it. Have you asked enough?"

Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "I am ordered by the emperor to investigate the case. If this case is not solved for a day, I may ask the Lord to ask questions. Chen Liang, send Lord Shangshu out."

Chen Liang sent the person away and whispered, "Immortal, how about it, is he suspicious?"

"I can feel that he is hiding something." Xie Qingyun pondered, "You go and do two things for me now. First, go to the palace to meet the saint immediately and ask the emperor for confirmation about the uncle's supervision of the construction of the venue; second, go to the Ministry of Revenue to bring me the account book for the construction of the venue this time."
