Chapter 606: Killing People and Destroying Mouths
The official was stunned, and didn't seem to understand why Feng Changqi wanted to go in person.
"Didn't you hear that!" Feng Changqi said sharply, "Lone wants to go in person, you go and prepare quickly!" β
"Yes." The official did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated.
Feng Changqi pinched his hands stiffly, and his wrists began to turn white, so soon, he died, what a coincidence.
She closed her eyes heavily, and the courtyard outside was lonely, for fear that another secret would be drowned.
The family found out early in the morning that the lady who had always been high had died in the treasury where she would never come, her hair was in a messy bun, her lips were bitten white, and there was a wisp of smile on her face, which looked very strange, and she did not return to the solemnity of the past, her hairpin was scattered all over the ground, and she was still holding a golden hairpin in her hand.
She held it so tightly that Feng Changqi tried, but found that he couldn't break it at all.
The golden hairpin was stuck in the sun, scorching in the sun, as if to suggest something.
She had been examined and found to have died of poisoning.
There is no cargo around, it is empty, Feng Changqi has a smile on his lips, it looks like it has been transported away overnight.
This Mrs. Chen must have discovered something before she was killed.
This Mrs. Chen seemed to be quite unpopular in the mansion, and when she came over, Feng Changqi heard several servants gloating about her.
Feng Changqi stared blankly at the traces on the ground, and suddenly felt that he should have come to take a look yesterday.
But the thought of a possible trap made her nervous again.
In any case, the person was dead, she took a deep breath, her heart was a little anxious, she didn't find any practical clues at the scene, she looked around, and that was all she could be.
She frowned and ordered, "Go and bring the house slave who is usually close to Mrs. Pingyang Houfu." β
After a while, Mrs. Chen's housekeeper, who she relied on most on weekdays, was brought up.
The housekeeper's lady shrank all over, her legs were weak when she saw Feng Changqi, and she didn't wait for the people behind her to say the slightest word, she herself plopped down and knelt down, her eyes were wide open because of fear, her whole body trembled like chaff, and her face was pale, as if a great disaster was coming.
Feng Changqi's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that he had found the right person, this housekeeper must have seen something, and she was worried that she would be killed, so she was so afraid.
"Look up."
Feng Changqi commanded in a deep voice.
The housekeeper's lady has a very shrewd face, no wonder Mrs. Chen usually values her, "Don't be afraid." Feng Changqi said kindly.
The housekeeper's lady said respectfully: "Yes." β
But Rao was like this, and his body still trembled.
"Don't hide what you see," Feng Changqi said flatly, "Otherwise, the torture of the Criminal Department is not pleasant." β
"The little ones don't dare!" The housekeeper's lady shook violently, and her voice was sharp with a hint of crying, "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the princess!" Yesterday, here, there was a pile of goods, which belonged to the king of Anxi"
Feng Changqi looked impassive: "Then there is something unsightly in it"
"Back to the princess, this thing does have some improper origins," the housekeeper straightened up and said firmly, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been shipped late at night, but the little one looked at it, and there was only porcelain in it, really only porcelain!" β
Looking at her, it doesn't look like a lie.
Feng Changqi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he thought there was a breakthrough, but he didn't expect it to be a headless case again.
"Then why did your wife die, didn't she find something that was killed and killed?"
"I don't know what a little one is!"
The housekeeper's lady was so frightened that she shrank into a ball, for fear that Feng Changqi would not believe her and arrest her to be tortured in that prison.
Feng Changqi had to endure the unwillingness in his heart.
Raised his hand and said: "Bring it down, take care of it, if there is a little mistake, I will ask you!" β
Then Feng Changqi looked at Mrs. Chen's corpse, and almost couldn't hold back the feelings in his heart.
"Princess, what do we do with the corpse of the bitter lord"
"Just do what you want." Feng Changqi shook his head, and he couldn't find anything anymore, "This is the matter of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion." β
Those porcelains must have contained important information.
However, Feng Changqi felt a little strange, the lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, what a noble identity, why would she be idle and come here in the middle of the night
Could it be that she heard something
Feng Changqi frowned and thought for a while, and instructed the housekeeper: "Which family members around the warehouse that day called over, and I want to ask." β
After a while, seven or eight maids, five or six little maids, all stood together at the corner gate, and they were on errands in the pantry around the storeroom, and who knew that the next day, such a thing happened.
Feng Changqi sat down slowly on a chair in the courtyard, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Lone will not embarrass you, as long as you answer honestly, if you have the slightest concealment, your fate will be the same as that bloody prisoner in the prison!" β
Those servants claimed to be honest and looked honest.
Feng Changqi carefully observed them, and only felt that their gestures were indeed family children, and they couldn't be disguised, so there should be no suspicious characters.
"Did you hear any strange noises on the night of the incident?"
A little maid with a double-ringed head said: "I heard a loud bang, and I thought something heavy had fallen on the ground, so I didn't look at it because I was lazy, but I didn't expect that the next day, Madame was gone." β
A few of the boys seconded and agreed that she was telling the truth.
"Is there any heavy lifting here?"
Several people shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
In Feng Changqi's opinion, they should be able to hear, it is best to see what key things have moved in, even though it is a little strange to get such an answer, they hurriedly called the housekeeper to ask, is there any other isolated passage that can transport a large number of vehicles in.
The housekeeper hurriedly said yes, but this method is just to go around the backyard, it is too troublesome, Feng Changqi went over to check, and there were indeed wheel prints on the ground.
It stands to reason that she should hand over the matter of such an escort to her subordinates, how could a lady of her watch it herself
Feng Changqi was suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly called the housekeeper to ask.
The housekeeper's lady saw her. Frightened, he knelt down, almost unable to speak: "The ladies heard that the little one said that it was a batch of good porcelain that was sent in, and the lady has always liked some famous antiques, and wanted to see what the good porcelain favored by the prince was, so she followed."
Feng Changqi interrupted her: "When Mrs. Pingyang Houfu came in, were you there?"
"Yes."
"That's good." Feng Changqi stared at her with burning eyes, she knelt on the ground, like a puddle of mud, "Whatever Lone asks you, you have to answer truthfully, there is only one person in the world who can protect you, if you have a word that is not true, Lone will send you to the punishment department and suffer the endless torture." β
The housekeeper's lady hung her hands, looking completely obedient.
Feng Changqi didn't expect that there was such a living witness present, and he was a little overjoyed for a while, "Madame looked at the porcelain, why did you leave it alone to inspect it?"
The housekeeper's lady opened her mouth, still with a panicked face, and raised her body back: "The little one doesn't know wow, if the little one knows, I'm afraid I can't talk to the princess here, Mrs. said that it is worthy of the prince, and the antiques collected are all of the highest quality, but some go against the will of the imperial court, and take so much of the green kiln."
Feng Changqi raised his eyebrows, the king of Anxi County really didn't take the emperor in his eyes, he was sneaky, it was estimated that the emperor's offerings let him take them.
Feng Changqi gently tapped the back of the chair: "Go on." β
The housekeeper raised her head, with a slightly flattering expression: "The little one thinks that this prince is getting bolder and bolder, and he dares to take advantage of these things, and then the lady screamed, as if she saw a great thing, and the little one asked her what she saw, but she refused to say, and scolded me, saying that if she asked again, she would slap her mouth." β
"Of course I don't dare to ask, but Madame forgot," the housekeeper smiled bitterly again, she usually relied on Madame, as a prestige, and offended a lot of people, this time the backer went violently, I am afraid that the future life will be difficult, she lowered her voice, and looked at Feng Changqi in fear, "Those guards escorting porcelain are still waiting outside the court." β
Hearing this, Feng Changqi's heart rose, and he straightened up and said, "You mean that the lady of the Pingyang Houfu was killed by those guards."
"I'm not sure about that, but who else. Madame told all of us not to speak," said the housekeeper, with her mouth open and bowing her head slightly, "a man, sneaking to see it, and then when I see him again, it will be Madame's corpse." β
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, almost frightened, for fear that she would be killed.
Feng Changqi looked funny: "You didn't say it at the time, but you only said it now, because you were afraid of being wiped out."
The housekeeper nodded, shrunk her neck, and said timidly: "Although I am afraid of death, I dare not deceive my heart and forget my master, and I will report it the next day." β
Feng Changqi narrowed his eyes, this matter was interesting, and the housekeeper continued: "Princess, our lady is not a curious person, she will not inquire about irrelevant matters, otherwise the house will not be under her governance, and it will be as stable as an iron bucket for many years. β
Feng Changqi moved her hand, she was saying that Mrs. Pingyang Houfu saw something of interest
Feng Changqi said with a pleasant face: "You go down first, if there is something, Lone will summon you." β
Feng Changqi sat on the chair, and the clues of all parties were connected.
Things are already obvious.
It's just that she couldn't figure out what Mrs. Pingyang Houfu saw that day.
What she saw, only she knew.
It's a pity that she is dead, and the last person in the world to know this secret has disappeared.
Feng Changqi thought about it, but decided to take the housekeeper lady into the palace to face the saint, hoping that her confession could arouse Emperor Feng's attention to the king of Anxi County.
The housekeeper's lady is majestic in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and she has seen a certain amount of the world, but when she saw the Wind Emperor, she was still scared and her legs were weak.
