Chapter 162： Another murderer

The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Caizhu to say such a thing. Then she reacted and slashed her hand at Caizhu: "What are you talking about, feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

"Stop!" Zhen Shicheng frowned and shouted, and a servant immediately stopped the woman.

The woman still opened her teeth and danced her claws: "For you to eat and drink, you still say this? Do you still have a conscience!"

Caizhu sat on the ground and cried, "My sister is the one who feeds me, not you!"

"You still said! You unscrupulous little hoof, have you forgotten your mother?"

Caizhu stagnated, hiding her face and crying: "Mother is going to lose it anyway, me, what else do I have to fear--"

She cried while kowtow to Zhen Shicheng: "My lord, the maid had heard of you. You brought Changxing Hou Shizi to justice. You are a master of the sky. I beg you to be the master of my sister. You can't let my sister die and suffer. Bai's injustice—"

The woman became more and more angry: "Little Hoof, you wait for me, there is always time to clean up you when I go back!"

"Put her mouth shut." Zhen Shicheng instructed lightly.

As the woman put a sweat towel in her mouth, the scene suddenly became quiet, and only the girl's low cry was heard.

Zhen Shicheng sighed, and personally helped Caizhu up: "This official will not let go of a wicked person, let alone wronged a good person. Little girl, don't cry, talk about your sister."

"Yes." Caizhu wiped her tears, and decided to glance at the woman.

The woman was speechless, her eyes widened, threatening.

Caizhu simply stopped looking at her and sniffed and said: "In fact, everyone in the Fuzhong knows that our family only has sisters to do things, and all the money for food, drink and chewing, including the mother’s medical treatment, is given by the sister. I originally thought that my mother’s health would be better. So she went back to work in the mansion, who thought that the mother’s body was not as good as the day, and she was in a coma five days ago. She asked the doctor to see that she needed a lot of money for nursing care. After her sister knew, she took the money soon. ——"

"How much is that money?" Zhen Shicheng asked.

Generally speaking, the reasons for homicides are nothing more than three situations. Because of hatred, money, or love, the kind of casually hunting people is very small, which is beyond common sense.

"There are fifty taels of silver."

"How much is Qiu Lu's moon silver?"

Guan Shi immediately said: "Qiu Lu is a maid serving his wife, Yueyin can get second class among the servants, there are two and a half."

"Two and a half, a lot." Zhen Shicheng said lightly.

For ordinary people's homes, a few ounces of silver is enough for more than half a year.

"But since Qiu Lu wants to feed her family, she must have nothing to accumulate in normal times. Where did these fifty taels come from?"

Caizhu's face flushed red, and her lips were shaking and said: "My sister didn't say at the time, but let us take it to nurse her mother, but—"

Speaking of this, Caizhu gave the woman a bitter look, and wept: "But yesterday my mother vomited blood, and the maid hurried to find her sister back. Only when her sister asked her, she realized that her brother and sister didn't use the money for the mother. When buying medicine, the medicine I feed my mother is what they used to recharge."

"Uuuu-" The woman struggled desperately when she heard this.

"Take out the cloth from her mouth." Zhen Shicheng ordered.

As soon as the woman's mouth was free, she immediately cried and said, "I'm wronged, my lord, but the money was not spent on the ladies, and the money was taken to pay off the gambling debt by the one who killed a thousand knives--"

Zhen Shicheng patiently listened to the woman's full scolding of the man for a cup of tea, and she knew what kind of person Qiu Lu's brother was.

A puddle of gambling mud.

"How did your sister know about this?"

"My sister hugged my mother and wept bitterly. As a result... Mother said that she knew about it, and she agreed to let her brother take the money. My sister felt even more sad at the time, so she ran out crying--" Here, Caizhu choked and couldn't speak.

"You haven't seen your sister since then?"

Caizhu suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Zhen Shicheng: "No, the maid chased it out."

Zhen Shicheng's heart moved.

From experience, the little girl in front of you probably knows something.

He didn't urge, but looked at Caizhu gently.

Caizhu bit her lip: "I've never seen my sister so sad. My sister has always been the pillar of the family. It was my sister's decision to let me take a long vacation and take care of my mother. I always remember my sister telling me that as long as she has her Now, the difficulties at home will surely pass. But yesterday my sister cried very desperately. Maybe she was too sad at the time, and I finally told the reason when I asked."

Caizhu couldn't help but look at Uncle Yongchang.

Uncle Yong Chang sighed: "Just tell me, my wife and I have always been right from wrong."

"My elder sister said that she secretly took the fifty taels of silver from the lady's make-up. She wanted to relieve her urgent need and then slowly fill it up. Unexpectedly, the lady suddenly looked for a magnolia that she wore many years ago. It turned out that she was stealing the silver. The lady asked her sister clearly why she stole the silver and did not pursue the money, but told her that she could no longer keep her by her side. Madam Charity said that her sister had been with her for many years and suddenly sent it out Life is not easy, so I will keep my sister for a few more days to find a suitable person to marry her."

"In that case, why do you say that your sister-in-law forced your sister to death?"

Caizhu smiled miserably: "My sister has always been proud of serving his wife, but she took her money for her privately. If the mother used the money to maintain her body, it would be fine. As a result, the brother took the money to pay off the gambling debts. My sister and I were in the dark, and my mother said that she was in charge of her brother... At that time, my sister said, why she had done such an unconscionable thing if she had known this, because she lost her errand and her mother could not save it. The most important thing is to live up to my wife’s love. It’s better to die clean. I thought my sister was angry. Who would think that my sister really did something stupid...

Zhen Shicheng looked at Uncle Yongchang: "Does Mrs. Uncle leave her maid for the night?"

Uncle Yong Chang nodded.

"So, only Mrs. Uncle sent Qiu Lu out last night." Zhen Shicheng touched her beard and sighed, "Qiu Lu's money was squandered by her brother, and her mother was vomiting blood but she was vomiting blood at her son. Obviously she doesn't want to get close to her anymore. In this way, it makes sense that she can't think about suicide.

Everyone was silent, with only one thought in their minds: Caizhu was right. Qiu Lu was indeed forced to death by her brother and sister-in-law. To be precise, Qiu Lu was killed by her mother--

"Since Qiu Lu committed suicide in shame, who was it that killed my mother?" Xie Qing murmured.

Zhen Shicheng is not discouraged.

This is the case in many cases, and the clues that emerged are irrelevant in the end, but this does not mean that the truth will always surface after doing wasteful work.

"Master Zhen, since there was no one in the closet at sunset yesterday, does it mean that the murderer was among these people in the inner courtyard of the Bofu?" Jiang Si asked suddenly.
