Chapter 33 The murderer of the murder case!
When they went back, the two people on the opposite side finally calmed down.
Shen Mingjiao yawned and fell onto the bed, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Feng Lisheng helped her tuck the quilt, glanced at the narrow bed, a little reluctant to look away,
Sit cross-legged on the ground and meditate carefully.
The next day, at dawn, Shen Mingjiao opened his eyes, and uncomfortably moved his aching limbs from sleep.
Pushing open the door, seeing Feng Lisheng talking to Tie Zhu,
Seeing her coming out, Tie Zhu blinked at her hurriedly,
Shen Mingjiao understands, it seems that what she explained yesterday has been done.
But speaking here is inconvenient after all, Shen Mingjiao simply washed up, and the three of them walked out of the yard, and Tie Zhu led them to a remote woodshed.
"The subordinate followed the servant girl according to Wang Hao's order. After Mrs. Lian went back, she lost her temper and threw the servant girl out of the yard. The subordinate then brought her here."
Shen Mingjiao asked: "Then how is she now? Is she still conscious?"
"She was already awake when the subordinate passed by, but she couldn't accept her face being scratched for a while, and rushed forward to beat Madam Lian like crazy, but was kicked away by the maid beside Madam Lian,"
Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes and pondered, from the time the maid was controlled to when she asked Tie Zhu to follow the maid, it was about half a cup of tea.
That is to say, Mrs. Lian uses spells to control people—let's call them spells, and the time can only last about half a cup of tea.
Tie Zhu pushed open the door of the firewood room, and an embarrassing woman huddled in a corner, lowered her head, dried blood mixed with scars stuck to her face, hearing the movement, the woman raised her head blankly, her eyes empty.
Shen Mingjiao stepped forward and said directly: "I have medicine in my hand, which can remove the scars on your face."
The woman suddenly raised her head and stared at her, her despairing eyes burst out with hope: "Are you serious?"
"As long as you can cure my face, you can tell me to do anything."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "It's not that exaggerated, I just want to know something about Mrs. Lian."
When Mrs. Lian was mentioned, the woman's eyes were full of hatred. She seemed to guess what Shen Mingjiao and the others wanted to know, and whispered:
"My name is Xiaorui, and I was originally a young lady... that is, the sweeping maid in Mrs. Zhao's courtyard."
"And Cailian is an orphan girl that Miss rescued on her way to a temple fair. Miss brought her back to the mansion. At first, she was just like me, just a cleaning maid in the courtyard, and her temper was relatively dull and timid.
Later, after the young lady got engaged to Mr. Zhao, Cailian's popularity suddenly became better for no reason, and it didn't take long for her to become the most respectable first-class maid beside the young lady. "
"After that, the Zhao family was suddenly wronged and imprisoned. The master and wife were afraid of being implicated, and disregarded the opposition of the young lady, and directly divorced the Zhao family, and the young lady was also grounded.
I heard with my own ears that Miss took out all her silver and asked Cailian to quietly take it out to manage the jailers guarding Mr. Zhao, in order to save Mr. Zhao from suffering in prison. "
"Not long after, the Zhao family was cleared of their grievances, Mr. Zhao took the initiative to come to the door and asked to marry the young lady again..."
Xiaorui shook her head, and said bitterly: "It's all that **** Cailian. At that time, Miss knew she would have no face to marry Mr. Zhao. It was Mr. Zhao who came to the door repeatedly, and Miss was moved, but Mr. Zhao proposed to marry her." Lian was kind to him, and he thought Cailian would be a noble concubine. Miss only thought it was just kindness, so she agreed."
"But when Miss married, Mr. Zhao humiliated and made things difficult for her.
All of this is because of that **** Cailian. She tried her best to provoke the adults, which made the adults hate the young lady. "
Shen Mingjiao frowned: "Then Mrs. Zhao didn't explain it?"
It is impossible for Zhao Ke, an official, not to see such an obvious thing, right? Unless he's really blind.
"I explained it, but my lord doesn't believe it, and I only believe that the young lady betrayed him."
Shen Mingjiao didn't continue to ask, but instead said: "Tell me about what is unusual about Mrs. Lian."
Xiaorui instantly understood the meaning of his words, thinking of what happened yesterday, she shuddered Lingling:
"I was transferred to her side a few months ago, but the people around her are very loyal to her. They are so loyal that even if they are beaten to death by her, they don't have any resentment."
Feng Lisheng asked her suddenly: "When did Mrs. Lian start raising fine dogs?"
Xiaorui froze for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "About half a year ago! Mrs. Lian suddenly became obsessed with keeping small dogs for some reason, and brought back dozens of small dogs all at once, and the house was full of dogs barking."
"But it's strange to say that those small dogs are very fierce, but they are very docile in front of her."
"It's just... after a while, she got tired of raising them. At a banquet, she gave all the fine dogs to the ladies of the various prefectures who came to the banquet. Because she is the most favored concubine of Lord Luodu, so she usually Many people flattered her, and it was very popular among the upper circles of Luodu to raise fine dogs at that time."
Seeing that the question that should be asked was finished, Shen Mingjiao planned to leave first.
Xiaorui looked at Shen Mingjiao anxiously, "...my face."
Shen Mingjiao gave an address, then tore off a purse from her waist, "Take this to my maid, and ask her to give you a bottle of skin-renewing and nourishing cream,"
Shengji Yufu Ointment is a secret medicine in the palace, as long as the injury is not too severe, it can eventually remove the scar.
Before coming here, just in case, Eunuch Hua prepared various bruise medicines for her and Feng Lisheng, among which was this Vitality Jade Skin Ointment.
Anyway, she doesn't need it at this time, so it's better to give it to those in need. After all, this world is harsh on women, if you ruin your appearance, the rest of your life will be over.
Xiao Rui glanced at her gratefully, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to her.
…
Leaving the firewood room and arriving at a secluded place, Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but say, "Why do I feel that Mrs. Lian is particularly suitable for the murderer of the Miemen case."
Feng Lisheng said slowly: "It's possible, but we must pay attention to evidence in everything."
Shen Mingjiao rubbed her chin in thought, "Judging from Xiaorui's words, that Mrs. Lian was also an ordinary person in the beginning, and she must have had some kind of opportunity later."
"And Mr. Zhao, if he is not blind, it is what Mrs. Lian did to him, such as the northern Xinjiang witchcraft you mentioned earlier, which can tamper with people's memory or something."
Feng Lisheng pondered: "There is a possibility."
"However, since there is a breakthrough in the case, if you want to determine whether the murderer is that Mrs. Lian, you can find out after a try."
