Bai Xirou, who listened to it, asked: "By the way, the fifth aunt was killed today, could it be that the fifth aunt offended someone too much?"

"Probably not!" the guard replied: "The fifth aunt is too a countryman, she usually likes to read, and she is also a little quiet, and she is not contentious. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This is somewhat similar to the second aunt's temperament, so he is a frequent visitor to the North Chamber, and often chats with the second aunt. ”

Bai Xirou asked again: "Among the five ladies, who is the most favored by the master?"

"This ......" The guard hesitated for a moment, and seeing that there were no other guards and servants here for a while, he replied in a low voice: "Since the death of Miss Sijie, the eldest lady has been depressed, and she has no heart to take care of the master, so she has been cold. The second aunt lives in a simple house in the North Chamber, usually a vegetarian, dressed simply, and is not very summoned by the master. The third aunt has always been the most popular with the old man, and her daughter Sixin is innocent and cute, and often makes the old man laugh. The fourth aunt is too cold and arrogant, has her own opinions, and occasionally disobeys the master, so she ...... The fifth aunt is too quiet and gentle, and for a while, the lord wanted to summon the fifth aunt, but at that time, the fifth aunt had a serious illness, although it was not contagious, but it still affected this concern. ”

After hearing this, Bai Xirou nodded and said, "In this way, the fifth aunt will not kill her because of the master's concern and the jealousy of several ladies." ”

"Of course. The guard glanced around with wary eyes, and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret, at that time, the fifth aunt married into the Zhang Mansion, which was not her intention." The fifth aunt is too bitter in the family, this is what her parents mean, after marrying into the house, the fifth aunt will not only not compete for favor with the master, on the contrary, she will escape the care of the master. Therefore, there are slaves in the mansion who speculate that the fifth aunt had someone she liked before marrying into Zhang's mansion, but she was forced to marry as a concubine out of desperation. ”

Liu Xufei sighed: "None of this matters now, the fifth aunt was killed, if the murderer can be found, she can also be buried in the ground." ”

"Yes, yes, the girl is charitable, I admire it. The guard said: "Because of a coincidence, the girl appeared at the gate of Zhang's mansion, although she is a suspect, I don't believe that the girl will kill someone." Maybe this is a fate between the fifth aunt and the girl, when she is dying, she can still meet the girl, and I hope the girl can do her best to help the fifth aunt. When she was alive, she didn't say a word to our subordinates, isn't it too unreasonable for such a person to die unclear?"

Liu Xufei said movingly: "I know, big brother, don't worry, if I can, I will." ”

Suddenly, there was a messy footstep not far away, and then, a male voice sounded: "Master, we just saw a deep knife mark on the pillar here." "It turned out that it was the subordinates who had just searched for it who found this knife mark and went to report it to Zhang Shenglie and led the big guy over to take a look.

The guard's face was shocked, and he hurriedly said to Liu Xufei: "Girl, it's the lord and they are here, if they see us talking, they will definitely ask." In order not to make any trouble, girl, I am going to be busy, and I am going to search elsewhere. ”

"Okay, thank you, big brother. As soon as Liu Xufei finished speaking, the guard slipped away and went to the other end of the courtyard. In order not to meet Zhang Shenglie and his group again, Liu Xufei and the three of them also walked in the direction of another corner where there were only a few guards.

But I didn't go far around the corner, and I saw a woman hurrying towards her, she had a beautiful face, simple clothes, and a thin body, it was the second aunt. The second aunt stopped a guard and asked, "Have you seen where the old man is?" Where was the fifth aunt killed? Where is her body now?"

A series of questions made the guard a little stunned, and he was stunned for a while before he hurriedly responded: "Back to the second aunt, the master is just around the corner ahead, the fifth aunt's accident location is in her room, and now her body is placed in the lobby." ”

After hearing this, the second aunt rushed to the corner without stopping. In the corridor that was not spacious, Liu Xufei was busy leaning sideways, so that some roads could be passed by the second aunt too quickly. When passing by Liu Xufei, the second aunt just glanced at her, and didn't say anything else.

After about a cup of tea, Liu Xufei came to a courtyard, where there was a back door, and she seemed to hear the voices of people outside. Liu Xufei thought, "If you go out through this door, you should be able to reach the outside." ”

Only then did she realize that this place was not very far from the fifth aunt's side room, and at this time, there was a guard guarding the door, and there were no other rooms nearby. Liu Xufei guessed that after the murderer killed the fifth aunt, he should have left from here. It's just that the wall of this courtyard is very high, and there are sharp iron nails at the top of the wall, which are not easy to climb, and there is no extremely high light work, so you can't go out freely.

Liu Xufei lowered her head and searched the ground around the corner, trying to find something. Bai Xirou asked puzzledly, "Girl, do you suspect that the murderer left from here?"

Liu Xufei responded: "It's not sure yet, in Zhang's Mansion, we walked around and got a general understanding of these rooms. Some are several rooms close together, while others are frequented by people, such as kitchens. Only here, the terrain is remote, there are not many rooms, there are few people passing back and forth, and this place is also close to the residence of the fifth aunt, so I was thinking, if someone from outside the house killed the fifth aunt, this is a good import and exit. ”

Bai Xirou asked: "The girl is still not sure whether the murderer is from the mansion or from outside the mansion? Like these big families, there are groups of wives and concubines, and for the sake of glory and wealth, it is common for them to fight openly and secretly, and kill each other. Xirou was thinking that it might be the people in the house who killed the fifth aunt. ”

"It's hard to say. Liu Xufei said: "We don't know about the other ladies yet, but the second aunt just now, when she heard the news of the death of the fifth aunt, looked anxious and hurried, it shouldn't be that she killed the fifth aunt." ”

Bai Xirou asked: "How can the girl judge that the second aunt did not kill the fifth aunt based on one-sided words? Perhaps it was she who asked someone to kill the fifth aunt, and she looked strange, deliberately pretending to be concerned and nervous, to cover up her crime." ”

Liu Xufei responded: "Just now in the corridor, we passed by the second aunt, she was dressed plainly, and there was no smell of rouge powder on her body. In such a mansion with a group of wives and concubines, which one is not dressed up to attract the master's attention? The wives and concubines kill each other because the master cherishes someone and arouses jealousy, and the second aunt has no intention of competing for favor, so it makes no sense for her to kill the fifth aunt. And ......"

Before Liu Xufei finished speaking, the jade qilin on the side hurriedly said: "Sister, what else? You only glanced at the second aunt, and you found so much, if you let us stay here for three days, wouldn't you be able to find out the murderer?"
