As soon as these words came out, Hong Yichen thought that the expressions of these two would change anyway, but he didn't expect that both Lu Lingjue and Su Mu had calm expressions. He thought it was because these two didn't believe what he said, then deliberately lowered his voice and said again: "I said—my elder brother..."

"So you mean that Master Hong and your second sister-in-law have a festive relationship?" Lu Lingjue interrupted him, "How do you say it?"

Hong Yichen's expression became subtle, obviously he was a little confused about whether he should open his mouth or not.

Su Mu was not in a hurry, and said quietly from the side: "I heard that once this person's resentment is fulfilled, his soul will stay on the ground and wait for the day when the truth will be revealed. If you don't make it clear today, your second sister-in-lawMaybe I will give it to you together..." He stopped meaningfully, and the second half of the sentence ended abruptly, but the meaning inside was self-evident.

After hearing this, Hong Yichen's face changed again, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Not only I know about this, but my sister-in-law also knows about it, I have heard that the two of them had a fight because of this matter,It’s just that the story seems to have changed later.” He swallowed, with a nervous expression on his face, “The relationship between my eldest brother and my second sister-in-law is not clean.”

Even though Su Mu was already mentally prepared, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard this answer. Isn't this an old saying that "brothers and wives can't be bullied", and Hong Chengyu dared to seduce the second wife in front of his wife.He has learned a lot.

Compared to Su Mu, Lu Lingjue seemed to be used to this kind of story, and still asked very calmly: "What about you, how do you know that there is something dirty between them?"

This topic has already started, and Hong Yichen seemed to no longer want to hide anything, so he talked about it in detail: "One day I came back late from the outside. Not long after I entered the yard, I saw my elder brother cagedIt's not a big deal for the clothes to go to their own room, after all, it's normal to wake up at night."

"However, I saw that the direction he came out was the second sister-in-law's house, and the light was still on in the second sister-in-law's room. On the spur of the moment, I went up to take a look. It's hard to see clearly through the window, but IAfter listening carefully, I heard a woman weeping in the room. Now I was really curious, so I opened a crack in the door and looked inside."

"Looking at it, I saw the clothes that were thrown all over the floor. The top one was a red bellyband embroidered with pink lotus flowers. Tell me...how can I not know?" Hong Yichen picked up his clothes after finishing speakingHis two hands changed into a look of disdain, "I just praised my second sister-in-law in front of outsiders for being beautiful, and my elder brother severely reprimanded me, saying that I am a frivolous sister-in-law. I didn't expectTo be able to do such a thing by turning around, really..."

Perhaps because he thought that the elder brother in this sentence had turned into a corpse a few hours ago, he closed his mouth embarrassingly, indicating that he had finished speaking.

"It sounds like you are very dissatisfied with your elder brother..." Lu Lingjue squinted her eyes, and then asked sharply, "Then who are you showing that grief-stricken look just now? Or are you treating your elder brother?"The grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and this is the killer, those just now were all staged to deceive the official!"

The last sentence was so loud that it completely lost Lu Lingjue's usual lively and friendliness, which made Su Mu startled again.

The people in Dali Temple put on airs and they are quite imposing.

Hong Yichen was startled by Lu Lingjue's sudden shout, and he was a little dazed. He was stunned for a while before he understood this sentence, and immediately blushed and argued, "I... I and IAlthough there is some disagreement between the big brothers, but...but this is my big brother after all, not to mention that I drank a lot yesterday and I haven't woken up just now, so what's wrong with crying!"

Not to mention that the two people on the other side didn't quite believe what he said, even Hong Yichen himself seemed very guilty, and after a while, he stood there with his neck red and blushing, and sighed as if resigned to his fate: "I...I knowAfter finding out about the matter between the elder brother and the second sister-in-law, he wanted to exchange this matter for some benefits, so he discussed it with the elder brother. You don't know, the Hong family has looked good in the past few years, but the elder brother has alreadyI've spent almost all of my family money, so I have to save money for myself, don't I?"

"Originally he didn't want to, so I threatened to tell the second brother about it, and then I let go, but said that it will take a few days, and a batch of money will be available at that time, and I will give it to me at that time." Hong Yichen dismissedShe curled her lips, "But who would have thought that the eldest brother would..."

Su Mu's eyelids twitched.

This family is really interesting.

Can you tell that this younger brother is not crying for his elder brother, but for his own money?

Lu Lingjue was also rarely speechless. Although he had not been in Dali Temple for a long time, he had seen many anecdotes. It was the first time that he could be like this family.See you later.

Afterwards, the two of them finished interrogating this person's itinerary yesterday, and they stopped holding onto him and started wandering around the mansion.

By sunset, the two had basically finished asking almost all the servants in the mansion, not only about Hong Chengyu's situation, but also about the situation in the mansion on the day Liang Xuanxuan died.

In the end, the two of them gave some instructions to the yamen servants who stayed behind in the Hong Mansion, telling them not to take it lightly, and to report to anyone who went out in time, and then they went back to the county yamen.

Liu Xiaoran was not idle when she returned to the county government office, and went out to check the people on the IOU after a short stay. As soon as she stepped into the gate of the county government office, Lu Lingjue's excited voice came from behind her.

"My lord! Yu Zhi and I have found a lot of things!"

Liu Xiaoran turned around helplessly, and found that there was no one beside Lu Lingjue.

"Why are you alone?"

"Huh? You mean Yuzhi? Yu Zhi just entered the door and turned to the other side. He said he was going to check on the corpse first, and he would come over in a while." Lu Lingjue explained, "He said that many of our conjectures must beBased on the exact cause of death of the body, so anxious to see."

Liu Xiaoran was silent for a moment, the mortuary was remote and gloomy, and now Wu Zuo was not in the mansion, this person was really not afraid at all.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Liu Xiaoran said, "Is there any result to what I asked you to ask?"

Lu Lingjue nodded: "I asked a lot of maids who take care of Hong Chengyu's daily life, and they all said that although Hong Chengyu is not a master at drinking tea, tea is always prepared in the house, especially in the study. And they all said noI went into the house to tidy up the teacup, if Hong Chengyu didn't throw it away on a whim, it must have been deliberately thrown away."

Liu Xiaoran nodded, it was no different from what he had guessed.

The person who took the teacup was probably the last person to see Hong Chengyu.

While talking, the two had already reached the courtyard of the morgue. As soon as Liu Xiaoran walked in, she bumped into Su Mu who was running out in a hurry.Su Mu ran in a hurry, and was hit backwards, almost didn't sit on the ground, but Liu Xiaoran stretched out her hand in time, grabbed his wrist, and saved him from falling.

"Liu Shaoqing!" Su Mu hurriedly said without apologizing after recovering, "Before Master Hong died, he was strangled with the same rope! It is very likely that he was strangled after being strangled."Put it on the beam!"
