"I wonder why Ling Qianjin died?"
Lou Zonghan wiped his tears and replied slowly: "He was hit hard on the head and lost too much blood. He died in the middle of the night yesterday."
Mo Lan held her forehead: "Let's go and have a look at Gan Mansion."
As soon as he reached the gate of the government office, a crowd of people gathered around him.
"Sir, please be careful. Lord Gan will never kill someone."
"Yes, sir, Mr. Gan usually does everything himself. Sometimes the fields are too busy, and he even takes people to the fields!"
"If you say Lord Gan killed someone, I will be the first to disagree!"
"Yes, I disagree! I disagree!"
Lou Guanjue summoned his double hammers, "Dang!"
There was a loud thunder, and the people surrounding him dispersed.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Gan Mansion.
"Stop! What are you doing!"
As soon as Mo Lan arrived at the entrance of the courtyard of her new house, she saw maids coming in and out, some holding brooms and some carrying basins.
The maids knelt on the ground without being frightened.
Mo Lan quickly walked in. The room had been cleaned and the first scene had been destroyed.
Walking up to a maid, he leaned over and raised her chin, "Who asked you to clean this place?"
The maid was frightened and panicked, and said hesitantly: "It's the old lady. The old lady said that the new lady died here just after entering the door. She is very unlucky!"
Gan Ruizhi's mother? Her son is still in jail, and she still has time to clean the house.
"You all go down, no one is allowed to come in here. Wait, this courtyard has just been renovated?"
The maid quickly replied: "Sir, yes, the renovation was just completed a few days before the new lady came in."
"Go down."
The structure of this house is very simple. It is transparent on all sides and is neatly located in the center of the yard. The yard is surrounded by big trees. There is a small garden behind the house and a fountain in front, plus a rockery.
Mo Lan walked into the room, and sure enough it had been completely cleaned.
The window was open, probably to get rid of bad luck, but at a casual glance, there were footprints under the window sill.
Mo Lan remained calm and pretended not to see it. She always felt that something was wrong with Lou Guan. She turned around and saw him holding a vase and squinting one eye to look in.
Realizing that Mo Lan was looking at him, she smiled sheepishly, put the vase back, and then started walking around.
Mo Lan frowned. She was crying with red eyes just now, but now she smiled again and looked at the vase. There was nothing strange about it.
No, this vase just doesn't fit in with this room.
The porcelain in this room is all blue and white porcelain. The production and painting skills are obviously from the same hand, but this one is obviously painted differently.
"Lou Guanjue, why not come over and see what's different about this vase." Mo Lan threw the vase to him and went out to find the little maid.
Lou Guanjue hurriedly grabbed the vase. This was evidence.
After a while, the maid came, and Mrs. Gan came with her. She had bruises under her eyes, and it was obvious that she hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.
"Did you see anything?"
Lou Guanjue looked angry: "This vase is obviously not originally in this house. Although it looks the same, the patterns on it are painted differently."
Halfway through, Lou Zonghan followed. Looking at his father, he was very angry when he spoke, "There are some flaws inside the vase. If it was used in the wedding room, it should have been carefully selected, so this vase was Changed."
"Look up, let me ask you, have the vases in this room been changed today?"
Mrs. Gan stood in front of the maid: "If you have anything to say, just ask me. Why bother with a maid?"
"Mrs. Gan, even if I don't ask her, I will ask others. One person can't be strict with everyone!" Mo Lan looked at her, without any inquiry in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind.
Mrs. Gan couldn't hide it anymore, "Yes, I changed the vase in this room. So what?"
Mo Lan pressed forward step by step: "Where is the original vase? Or where are the fragments of the original vase?"
"threw!"
"Where was it thrown?"
"have no idea!"
"Go in!" Shen Shiyuan entered the yard carrying a boy in one hand and a cloth bag in the other.
"This kid was sneaking out with a bag, and I happened to bump into him. I thought it might be helpful to you, so I brought him here!"
Mrs. Gan's hands that were folded in front of her belly suddenly clenched, but she still held her head high.
"Yes, it was the old lady who asked me to throw away the fragments!" The boy knelt on the ground, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
The cloth bag was opened, and the fragments were stained with blood. It was obvious that they had not had time to deal with it.
Mrs. Gan closed her eyes, then opened them and looked at Mo Lan fiercely: "So what if it's me? You can convict my son with just a vase?"
Lou Zonghan straightened his back, "You can't be convicted, but you are guilty of trying to destroy the murder weapon privately. Come here, take her to the prison and wait for punishment!"
Mo Lan walked out and walked around to the window. Under the window was the mud, judging from the size and depth of the footprints.
It was determined that these were the woman's footprints. The footprints disappeared all the way to the wall.
At night, Mo Lan went directly into the governor's house and pushed the coffin away? ! There's no body inside!
When passing a yard: "Dad, how long do I have to stay at home! I'm going to get moldy!"
"Don't worry, hurry up, hurry up, once Gan Ruizhi's charges are proven, dad will let you go out and have fun."
Mo Lan was walking towards the inn while thinking, when suddenly a man bumped into her.
The man said sorry and ran away in a panic after seeing clearly that it was her.
She has an impression of this girl, who has always been with Mrs. Gan. Why not follow her and see if there is any breakthrough.
Mo Lan followed the maid until she entered the door.
No matter, let’s go in first.
The maid arrived at a yard, looked around and saw no one there before getting in. Mo Lan was lying on the roof and saw a person who shouldn't be here.
The maid bowed to him and said, "Master Liu, I haven't made any changes yet."
Liu Xuezhou waved her hand to let her go down, and then a woman walked out of the room, looking twenty-six or seventy-seven.
"Uncle, do you think you can completely defeat Gan Ruizhi this time?"
Liu Xuezhou stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sparkling water, and did not speak for a long time.
"Hua'er, relax, he won't be able to get out of prison this time."
Mo Lan, who returned to the inn, took the chopsticks and bit them in his mouth, staring at the food in front of him fiercely.
Shen Shiyuan took a chopstick and put it in her bowl, "What's wrong, are you planning to kill this dish?"
"Huh? No."
"The four major families in Beijing are the Lou family, the Su family, the Qin family and the Wen family, right? I'm often in the boudoir, and I don't know many things at all. Just tell me about these families."
Mo Lan looked at him and smiled stupidly like a curious baby.
Shen Shiyuan took a bun and put it in her hand and said, "Eat, talk while eating."
The Wen family has always been a very mysterious family. They never take the initiative to deal with the officials. It is said that they rely on a certain large sect behind them. If there is no chaos between countries, they usually disappear.
Seven years ago, Daxing and Beijiang fought on the border, causing the people on the border to be displaced. People from the Wen family appeared to take in the people.
As for the Qin family, it was the Empress Dowager's mother clan. It was originally just a small family, but because of the late Emperor's great efforts in seizing the throne, it was reused by the late Emperor. Over the years, its power has greatly increased and it has become one of the largest families in Beijing.
But it has become a family that everyone despises. The younger generations of the Qin family rely on the support of the Queen Mother and most of them do all kinds of evil. As the Queen Mother gets older, the Qin family becomes less and less controlled.
Gong Yi's temperament has changed drastically since he came back from the battlefield seven years ago, and he has been secretly weakening the Qin family's strength over the years.
The Lou family is a large family that has existed in Beijing for thousands of years. It existed before the founding of the Daxing Dynasty. However, as the spiritual power of the Chiyuan Continent is approaching exhaustion, fewer and fewer of the Lou family's descendants can practice.
Four hundred years ago, when Daxing was established, he surrendered to the royal family. The current old marquis of the Lou family had rescued him many times.
The Su family ranks at the bottom in terms of strength. Its first generation patriarch was a direct disciple of the Lingxiao Sect. The ancestor was practicing in seclusion. However, the Su family is your in-law, so you should know better than me.
"Brother Shen, do you know who I saw today?"
Shen Shiyuan was puzzled.
"She is the legitimate daughter of the Su family in Liushan Prefecture, Su Miaohua! One of Gan Ruizhi's former wives."
