It's quiet at night.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Di Xiangling was on the treetop, watching the two teams of guards patrolling outside the Liu Mansion: "The imperial guards in the palace...the Imperial City Department?"
When I came during the day, there were no such guards in the house. At night, there were suddenly more guards. They were so elite that everyone knew something was wrong.
If these people were sent by the Imperial City Department, they might be under the pretext of protecting the Queen Mother's other family members, but secretly they could interfere with the investigation of the case to a considerable extent.
But that was only for ordinary people. Di Xiangling smiled coldly, his figure was like lightning, and he suddenly rolled into the house. He landed quietly, and after a few ups and downs, he walked through the garden and arrived at the backyard.
Once inside the Liu Mansion, it was impossible for the Imperial City Department to send people to keep an eye on each room inside. They mainly kept an eye on the outside to prevent anyone from sneaking over to check the scene, or if any key evidence was discovered, they could be the first to do so. Time cut off.
If they were in Bingzhou, all of these people would be put down. Now Di Xiangling gave the capital a face and just entered secretly without disturbing anyone.
When they arrived in the backyard, Di Xiangling did not continue toward the inner house, but started searching in the woodshed.
Not long after, she found her target, Mrs. Hu, who had been imprisoned under the order of her second brother Liu Congyi.
At that time, Liu Congyi ordered his servants to take turns to keep vigil at night and keep an eye on the situation, but in fact there was not one of them. They all went to sleep somewhere. Obviously, he was not afraid of this Erlang at all.
Di Xiangling gently opened a gap and looked in. He saw the gray-faced Madam Hu tied to a beam. It was so late and she was still awake. She lowered her head slightly and opened her eyes. She looked charming as usual, with a thoughtful look on her brows.
Di Xiangling rolled his eyes, did not go in, and knocked lightly on the door: "Dong! Dong!"
Madam Hu suddenly raised her head and looked outside. She only stayed for a moment and judged that the person who came was definitely not the guarding servant girl. Then she said: "The slave family has money. If you save the slave family, I will give you all the money!"
Di Xiangling lowered his voice and said in a muffled voice: "How much?"
Madam Hu said: "How about a drug store on Hengjie? If you transfer it directly, even if it is hasty, you can get at least 8,000 yuan!"
Di Xiangling asked again: "Whose shop is it?"
Mrs. Hu said: "It belongs to Wu Lang. Before his death, he had secretly transferred several shops that made a lot of money every day to the slave family. This drug store on the cross street is one of them. As long as you save the slave family, the slave family will give it to you." , you will never have to worry about it for the rest of your life, and if you tell others, you will get a few rewards at most!"
"This is treating me as a member of the family..."
Di Xiangling secretly nodded. From this tone, it didn't sound like a lie. In view of Liu Congguang's doting on this concubine during his lifetime and the fact that he secretly had so many properties, it was really possible to hand over several shops to her, so he deliberately Follow the words: "You gave it to me, and the Liu family takes it back. What should I do?"
Madam Hu said: "Don't worry, Dalang and Erlang didn't even know that the shop belonged to the Liu family. You transferred it in the name of the owner, so naturally you won't be held accountable."
Di Xiangling wondered: "How could you not know?"
Mrs. Hu said: "These properties were left by the Taiwei. Among the three sons, the eldest son was fond of fishing and went in and out of Xiaotianshui Lane all the year round. In order to see the prostitute, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. The second son was addicted to gambling. I don't know how many times he was cheated." The gambling house pressed them, but they still couldn't control themselves and spent extravagantly. Only my husband was the best housekeeper, so the Taiwei entrusted him with all the family property for safekeeping. Dalang and Erlang didn't know exactly how many shops made the money... "
Liu Congguang, this idiot, actually became the most important person in charge of the family. Di Xiangling was speechless for a moment, but then he thought: "Then the Qin family doesn't know?"
Madam Hu paused for a moment: "I don't know! I don't know!"
This is a lie. Di Xiangling sneered and said: "The Qin family is a grown-up woman, and her children are over ten years old. How can she not know about Liu Congguang's property? You want me to rescue you, but you still dare to lie to me?"
As soon as such a title was spoken, the identity of the servant was broken. As expected, Madam Hu asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Di Xiangling did it deliberately: "You don't need to know who I am, but you should be happy. Compared to the servants in the house, I am more capable of taking people out! But if you want to lie to me, I will kill you halfway." If you strangle to death, the Liu family will definitely not make any noise, just wrap up the body and throw it into a mass grave!"
Madam Hu fell silent for a moment.
After a moment, she said solemnly: "Ms. Qin should know, but she is about to die of illness and has no time to care about this..."
Di Xiangling said: "Doesn't Mrs. Qin still have a son and a daughter? Even if she doesn't do it for herself but for her children, doesn't she care about the family property left by Liu Congguang?"
Madam Hu whispered: "This is hard to say!"
Di Xiangling's eyes sharpened: "Ms. Qin is seriously ill, was it you who poisoned her?"
Gongsun Ce speculated this because the timing was too coincidental. Not long after Mrs. Hu entered the palace, Mrs. Qin fell ill. Now Liu Congguang spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. This is the motive to support it.

Di Xiangling asked out of pure intuition. She believed that the woman in the woodshed could do such a thing.
But Mrs. Hu's negative voice soon came: "It's not the poison poisoned by the slave family. The slave family was born in a small family. Originally, she never thought that she could be promoted to a high position. As long as her husband pampered her, she would be fine. However, she gradually became seriously ill, and she had some thoughts. Come to think of it, the result... is still a luxury after all!"
Di Xiangling didn't completely believe it, but he also knew that asking more questions was useless, and continued: "But others don't think so, right? If she dies of illness, you will be the biggest beneficiary. Many people hate you, right?"
"Of course! Even Jin Niang, the slave's personal maid, has rebelled. She has been with the slave for so long..." Madam Hu sighed: "There is also that little brat Liu Yongnian. On the surface, he shouts like a little empress, but he doesn't know in his heart. How much I hate Nujia, Nujia suddenly turned around once, and his eyes at that moment seemed like he wanted to kill Nujia!"
Liu Yongnian was the son of Liu Congguang and the Qin family. Di Xiangling didn't know that this child had been slapped by his father not long ago, but he could also imagine that when his mother was seriously ill and his concubine was arrogant and domineering, he , looking like he is waiting for his mother to ascend to power after her death, how resentful a child would be.
Di Xiangling had never been interested in the quarrels between wives and concubines in a wealthy family, and said calmly: "Apart from Liu Yongnian, who else in the family wants to kill you? If you want to escape, you must beware of these people!"
The last sentence is to explain the reason for asking. In fact, this list is also the list that is most likely to use the case of adultery and husband-murder to slander Mrs. Hu as a murderer.
Madam Hu thought for a moment in the room: "I hate the slave family... I'm afraid that everyone in the house hates the slave family! Dalang Erlang hates the slave family for wearing gold and silver, and their luxurious clothes. They want money all based on the husband's face, but the slave family Just one sentence, the servants are the same, they hate that the slave family is from a small family, but they have endless wealth, but if they hate the slave family so much that they want to kill them, I am afraid that only the Qin family and her son..."
Di Xiangling nodded slightly and suddenly said: "What happened to you having an affair with an adulterer?"
Madam Hu's voice became angry: "It's the slander of the elder Liu Congde. This old man wanted to seduce the slave family. After he was rejected by the slave family, the servants started spreading rumors. I'm afraid that the old man was afraid that the slave family would complain in front of the husband, so he would take the first step. It’s really hateful to spread the wind!”
Di Xiangling was speechless again, seducing his sister-in-law? This is something that a kid from a rich family can do!
It's just that if Liu Congde really did this, then his name would really be in vain. The names Liu Mei gave to his sons were all good wishes, from virtue to righteousness and from broadness, but they all turned out to be jokes.
After asking Mrs. Hu a few more questions, she gradually got the idea.
According to the current situation, the first person who hates this concubine is the wife Qin and their children, and the second person is the lustful elder brother Liu Congde. The former is obviously more suspicious than the latter, after all, he is seducing his sister-in-law. It’s past, there’s no need to wait until now to take action...
"Just wait here!" "Don't leave. How about I give you another shop... Hey! Hey!"
Without saying a word, Di Xiangling ignored Madam Hu's plea to stay and headed towards the inner house.
It's easy to find the courtyard where Qin's family is located. Smell the smell of medicine in the air and look for the strongest place.
When Di Xiangling approached, he happened to see Liu Yongnian wearing mourning clothes and holding a medicine bowl, walking quietly towards the house.
Following his line of sight, he entered the house and saw that the decoration inside was simple and even a little empty. Lying on the bed behind the screen was a thin woman, in her thirties, with a haggard face. She was stretching out from under the quilt. He took out his palm and gently caressed his daughter who was sleeping beside the bed, and from time to time helped smooth her frown that was frowning even in her sleep.
This woman is naturally Liu Congguang's wife Qin.
Liu Yongnian walked over gently and whispered: "Mom, take the medicine!"
Mrs. Qin said slowly: "It's spring and autumn, and it's not summer yet. Xiaojiu will definitely catch a cold if she sleeps like this. Let's take her to the bed outside!"
"yes!"
Liu Yongnian put the medicine aside, picked up his sister, put her on the bed outside, covered her with a quilt, then returned to Qin's bedside, picked up the medicine bowl, felt the temperature, and then placed Qin's upper body He stood up, brought the medicine in front of him, and took a sip with a spoon: "Mom!"
Mrs. Qin looked at him, with a soft look on her thin and sick face, and said, "My child, you don't have to work so hard in the future..."
"mother!!"
Liu Yongnian's eyes turned red. He wanted to throw himself into her arms and vent all the grievances he had suffered in the past few years, but he did not dare to harm her body. He could only cry: "Drink the medicine! Drink the medicine!"
Ms. Qin slowly drank the medicine in one mouthful, and her voice sounded a little more energetic: "After your father's funeral is finished, in a while, let Dr. Wen from Renai Hall come to the house again. My My body is indeed much better and I can change my medicine..."
Liu Yongnian's face suddenly showed joy, but there was also a very strange expression. He pursed his lips and said: "Okay!"
Mrs. Qin looked outside: "Go and spend more time with your sister, she is scared..."
Liu Yongnian responded: "Yes!"
After watching her son go out, Ms. Qin slowly lay down and looked at the roof. After a long time, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into sleep.
As soon as her breathing became even, Di Xiangling appeared in the sky, pressed her palm on Qin's neck, then picked up Qin's wrist, felt for her pulse, and after a moment she smiled coldly: "There is really no one in this big family. A fuel-efficient lamp is actually pretending to be sick?"
