As soon as she said these words, she really caught the old lady's attention, "Lin'er is also wronged?"

Gu Zhiya took the opportunity to complain for a while, but didn't mention it at all. He killed the servant girl. Gu Lin was the first child of Zhenbei Hou and the eldest grandson of the old lady. Naturally, she panicked. Hearing this, she became even more angry. , couldn't help but patted the table and said, "It's really a slave bullying the master!"

Due to the force, her palms turned red, and her wrinkled hands trembled uncontrollably. When she was excited, she coughed. Mammy Zhang was startled and hurriedly reached out to follow her back.

Gu Zhiya also hurriedly stood up, picked up the ice-seeded jadeite, magpie, and primrose tea set aside, and poured a cup of warm water for the old lady herself.

The old lady coughed for a while before she caught the glass of water, swallowed it slowly, and said to Gu Zhiya: "If you can't, then take Lin'er back to the house and stay out all the time, it's not a problem, a bunch of slaves. It's really hateful to insult the master."

Gu Zhiya was afraid that she would really call Gu Lin back, so she quickly put on a smiling face, "Grandmother is not afraid, and I will protect them, those daring minions, I have beaten them up, let Lin'er reflect again, be sure to Let him reform, otherwise Daddy will definitely not be assured of passing on the throne to him."

The old lady sighed, thinking that Gu Lin was protected by Gu Zhiya, but Zhong Li and her brother had no support, she felt a little uncomfortable, and turned to Mammy Zhang and said, "Go check it out, which maid is talking nonsense, dare to Talking about your tongue behind your back, this kind of maid should be sold, and we must not encourage this trend."

Mammy Zhang responded with a sound, and stepped back respectfully.

Gu Zhiya's eyes dimmed.

After Zhong Li returned to the Zhaixing Pavilion, she went to interrogate the two assassins. She deliberately tried the two separately, one was still locked in the firewood room, and the other was locked in the back room. As Luoyu said, The two had no intention of confessing at all, and even tried to commit suicide by biting their tongues, but Luo Yu finally removed their chin.

Zhong Li interrogated for half an hour, and then changed the guards. The four guards interrogated in shifts, and they did not give them any time to rest. They did not feed them a drop of water all day long, even at night.

Seeing that Zhong Li didn't intend to use punishment, Luo Yu originally thought that such an interrogation would not yield the slightest result. When she woke up the next day, she saw the appearance of the two assassins in a trance, and she vaguely noticed the cleverness of this move.

She also deliberately watched for a while. One of the assassins was so sleepy that his eyelids were trembling. When he was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, the guard scooped up a bowl of cold water and poured it on his face. The assassin shivered and woke up again. .

Luo Yu didn't ask any more questions, she always felt that it was a matter of time before they confessed. After this incident, her impression of Zhong Li was raised to a higher level. In the past, she only thought that she was gentle, treats people kindly, and needs people. The well-cared-for little girl, at this moment, she feels that she can also take care of things, no wonder the master didn't intervene in this matter.

After investigation, the old lady found out what the maids were talking about. Seeing them being a little fool, the old lady was so angry that her hands were shaking. Not only did she ask Mammy Zhang to sell the two maids, she also Let her give Gu Zhiqing a message, and let her restrain the people in the courtyard.

After the second wife learned of this, she naturally scolded Gu Zhiqing again. Gu Zhiqing almost died of anger, only to feel that the sky was a disaster. The second wife called her to apologize, but she refused to go. She burst into tears in grievance, lying on the bed and crying, like a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

The second wife had nothing to do with her, so she had to run to Zhexing Pavilion in person and visited Cheng'er in person.

The second wife is a well-rounded person and always has troubles. Zhong Li doesn't hate her and respects her very much. After the two of them talked, she respectfully sent the second wife away.

As soon as the second wife was sent away, Zhong Li received a greeting from Li Mingqian and Zheng Feiling. After they learned that she was assassinated, they wanted to come and visit her.

In fact, not only they had the idea of ​​visiting Zhong Li, but Xiao Sheng was also a little shocked when she learned that she had encountered an assassin, and immediately came to Zhaixing Pavilion.

After getting her reply, the two took a carriage to Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Today is another sunny day, the wind is sunny, and it is very suitable for going out. When they got off the carriage, the sun gradually turned to the south, and the dazzling sunlight shone warmly on the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Thinking of the assassination of Zhong Li, the two But felt a chill down spine.

Li Mingqian and Zheng Feiling are not very old. Although they have a lot of knowledge, they are little girls raised in a deep boudoir. They never thought that the people around them would encounter assassins. After getting off the carriage, the two couldn't help but look left and right. I glanced at it, lest another assassin jump out.

When she learned that the two were coming, Zhong Li personally went out of the hospital to greet them.

After seeing Zhong Li, Li Mingqian held her hand in fear and trembling, "Thanks to your fate, you escaped the catastrophe. I don't know which one who suffered a thousand swords was so cruel, and the emperor's feet were so lawless."

Zhong Li took their hands and led them into the room.

Zheng Feiling also expressed her concerns and advised: "In the recent period of time, you must be careful. If you can't leave the house, don't leave the house. Before the murderer is caught and brought to justice, you have to be careful, lest they shoot again."

Zhong Li wrote them down one by one, and said gratefully, "Thank you for coming to visit."

She has never had any friends. Seeing that Li Mingqian and Zheng Feiling treat her as friends, Zhong Li is naturally grateful.

Li Mingqian wrinkled her nose and smiled: "If you are a friend, don't be so polite. I hope the government will be more efficient and try to catch the murderer as soon as possible. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we can watch the dragon boat race with peace of mind."

Zhong Li also curled her lips, "According to your auspicious words."

The people in the house also knew about her assassination. Zhong Li kept an eye on her, and specifically asked how they found out about it. Seeing that the maid next to Gu Zhiqing said it, Zhong Li was stunned.I didn't understand for a while what she was thinking.

The two simply sat for a while and then said goodbye. Seeing that Zhong Li wanted to send them out of the house, Li Mingqian immediately stopped her as if she was facing a great enemy, "Oh, please don't, what if there are assassins at the door?Just stay in the mansion, Zhenbeihou mansion is heavily guarded, those people will definitely not be able to break in."
