Prince Rong fell ill, slumped on the bed and dressed roughly, the doctors knelt in the outer hall and waited for the call.The old prince's wives, concubines, and grandchildren all came to attend to the illness. Today, the sky was extremely dark, and the torrential rain seemed to glue the heaven and the earth together.

Song Yitao was punished to kneel in the heavy rain. Her whole body was soaked. The cold stone bricks mixed with the cold rainwater made her knees hurt.He wanted to stand up several times but was pressed down by two guards next to him and continued to kneel.

"Little Seventh Master! Hurry up and save me!" She couldn't take it anymore, and shouted for help in the heavy rain.

Seeing that scene, He Yu couldn't bear it, ran to Xiao Qiye, and whispered: "Qi Ye, she has been calling for you to save her."

Qi Yutao frowned, looking at his father who was lingering on the sick bed, he was extremely angry: "She went too far this time, she should be punished to kneel down."

"But it's raining so much outside, she can't hold it anymore." He Yu was a little worried.

Xiao Qiye looked at the heavy rain outside, and thought for a moment: "I'll go beg mother and concubine later. Only when she is made to kneel for a long time, will mother and concubine mother and father calm down."

"Come here! It's not good!!" A servant girl ran out of the heavy rain in panic.

Qi Yutao scolded angrily: "How is it proper to yell?! Carefully disturb the father!"

"Little... Xiao Qiye, you are here!! The servant just found a dead body in the waste water well in the garden near Qianyin Pavilion!! It was washed up by the heavy rain. Go and have a look !!"

Qi Yutao was taken aback, before he could speak, the guard outside the porch came in and reported: "Master Qi, that slave has passed out."

"Let's go!" Xiao Qi took He Yu and ran outside.

Song Yitao fell into the rain, the splash of water seemed to engulf her, and the blood faded from her lips.Xiao Qiye immediately picked her up, at this time Song Yitao was already cold all over.

Xiao Qiye carried Song Yitao to her room, and told Lianqiao to wash and change her clothes, and Songluo to cook ginger soup.After settling down, Master Qi took a deep look at her, then turned to deal with the corpse.

At this time, outside the Qianyin Pavilion, the guards guarded the waste water well, but there was always something good, so they hid on the porch to peek.

Song Yitao's head was in a daze, but she was still awakened by the noise outside. She rubbed her eyes and found that she had returned to the room. She couldn't help getting up to see why it was so noisy outside.

The heavy rain was about to stop gradually, Song Yitao was wearing thin clothes and a coat, and walked out of Qianyin Pavilion slowly.

The voices of the previous discussions became louder and louder.

"It seems to be Su Wan. I haven't seen her for a few days. She died so badly... This person stinks."

"Is he new to the fifth lady's room?"

"Yeah, she just arrived two months ago and disappeared within a few days. I remember her. This girl is timid and afraid of people!"

"How did you die??"

"IDK."

She walked towards the crowd slowly, and saw clearly a corpse covered with a white cloth lying in the middle of the garden space next to Qianyin Pavilion, which was being inspected.

"The corpse was decomposed so badly that the old man is still unable to determine the cause of death. There is a possibility of homicide, or the deceased was trapped at the bottom of the well because he was injured and fell into the well for a long time without being rescued."

The fourth brother Qi Yuze said: "Oh, anyway, you have been a gangster for decades. This well has been abandoned for a long time, and weeds are overgrown. Usually, no one would go there. If it weren't for today's heavy rain and the debris covering the corpse The grass has been floated up, none of us can find it, how could it have slipped and fell into the well..."

"This...although the corpse is seriously corrupted, there are faint traces of strangulation on the neck and wrists of the deceased. I am afraid that it is a murder case. This old man is just guessing." If you are careful, you will offend someone, so Wu Zuo didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only reply weakly.

Xiao Qiye clasped his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "There is a murder case in my Prince Rong's mansion? Check it out! Check it out for me!"

"What's the matter??" The fifth lady squeezed into the crowd with her maid, and suddenly covered her mouth, "This...is this the maid in my room?? Why did she die?"

"Yes, Fifth Madam, it's Su Wan, a newcomer from Siqiantang. She has been missing for a long time, and I reported it to you before!"

The Fourth Madam covered her nose, and said with a strange tone: "I said this person is in your room, and you are responsible for his death! I heard that you have never been kind to servants, and anyone who makes the slightest mistake will delay it." Go out and beat him up, do you think this person will be killed by you..."

"Cough!" The fourth master coughed, and his eyes signaled her not to say any more.

"Hey! This has nothing to do with me! This girl has never served in front of me. The maids said it was Su Wan, so I came here!" The fifth lady glanced at Master Qi, "I said this person died here Near Qianyin Pavilion, instead of asking Qi Ye, you came to ask me..."

Qi Yutao took two steps towards her, and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, are you suspicious of the people in our Qianyin Pavilion? I have ordered someone to investigate, and the truth will definitely be found out, and I will never let you This girl died of injustice."

Seeing Xiao Qiye's serious face, Fifth Madam couldn't say anything more, and hid back in the room with the excuse of feeling uncomfortable.

The rest of the people couldn't watch the fun anymore, and gradually dispersed.

The fifth lady returned to the room, anxious and angry: "Yinchun, what do you think should be done? The old fourth room has already begun to suspect me. That day, I thought this girl hurt me by combing her hair and tidying her feet. I slapped her a few times, could it be that she really couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide by jumping into the well?"

Yinchun comforted: "Ma'am, even if she committed suicide, it doesn't depend on you!"

"But this person is in our room, so he must have something to do with us! Spit stars can drown people!" Fifth Madam twisted her handkerchief anxiously.

Yinchun thought for a while, and said viciously: "If you push all the responsibility to Qiye's room, it will have nothing to do with you.

"Don't you always hate that girl in Qiye's room?"

Fifth Madam's eyes sharpened suddenly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Yes, it's her fate that she didn't burn to death last time!!"

The fifth lady snorted coldly, looked outside the house, and after confirming that there were no ears on the partition wall, she pulled Yinchun and said in a low voice: "Yinchun, you can find some people, I will make a big fuss about this matter!"

The next day, Song Yitao was still sleeping in her room. The door of her room was kicked open suddenly, and she was driven away by two guards. Before she could react, she was taken to the Jiusi Hall to kneel.The lobby was full of people, just like the scene when she was arrested and kneeled when she first came to Daning Kingdom.

The Concubine Side came out to take charge, and when she saw this girl, she was so upset, she rolled her eyes at Song Yitao in disgust, and sat down on the master's seat.

"Mother and concubine, I have found witnesses for the death of the maid in my room! That poor girl finally did not die in vain..." Fifth Madam covered her face with a handkerchief, her voice mournful.

"Bring everyone up here!!" Concubine Side's tone was stern, and by the way, she gave Song Yitao a hard look.

Chef Zhao and the maidservants in the fifth lady's room walked into the hall with their heads down and knelt down.

"According to my research, this Chef Zhao and my girl Su Wan were originally good friends. Song Yitao, who lives in the seventh younger brother's room, runs around in the palace all day long. He has the habit of stealing chickens and dogs. With his money, these silver taels were saved by Chef Zhao for a long time to marry Su Wan, but who would have thought that they would be taken by her hand! This Song Yitao is under the protection of Lord Qi, so Chef Zhao can't figure it out if he is a good person. After all, Su Wan was not happy, she went to find Song Yitao, the two had a quarrel, and even fought, who knew that Song Yitao was so cruel that he strangled Su Wan to death and pushed him into the well." Fifth Madam. While speaking, she wiped her tears with a towel.

"You! You are talking nonsense!! I don't even know this person, let alone kill her!!" Song Yitao stood up, her chest hurting with anger, "Chef Zhao! I helped you!! Why did you come with them Fuck me?? Didn’t you teach me how to cook two days ago?”

Chef Zhao knelt on the ground and buried his head low, not daring to look up at her.

"I'm not talking nonsense!! I can swear to God!! All the servants in my yard can prove that Su Wan once complained in front of them that Song Yitao was a thief, and that she wanted to get back those silver taels!" The fifth lady was also excited, secretly Competing, we must use this to get rid of this foxy guy.

Concubine Side looked at all this coldly, and even picked up the tea bowl and blew it absent-mindedly.

"Report!" At this moment, the guard came to report.

"Report to the side wangfei, when cleaning the bottom of the well, I found a purse, which doesn't seem to be used by the deceased himself."

"Bring it up!!"

The guard brought up the purse, which was already covered with mud, but the fabric was still very new, and it was still extremely precious smoked faille.The third and fourth masters immediately changed their expressions when they saw the purse.

"The material and color of this purse is not used by a woman, but by a man.", "Isn't it related to the one in Lao Qifang?"

The Fifth Madam was at a loss when she saw this thing, she secretly kicked Chef Zhao and asked him to make it up.

Chef Zhao immediately climbed out: "Return, return to Wangfei, this... This purse belongs to the villain, and it is what I used to put the money in. It must be Su Wan who went to ask for the money back for me. fell on the spot."

The side princess looked at the materials of the purse, and she had three points in her heart.But still let people open the purse, cover their mouth and nose to see, there is really a corroded 500 taels of silver bill and a few taels of silver in the purse, the fifth lady smiled with satisfaction.

Concubine Side immediately pointed at Song Yitao's face and scolded: "What else do you have to say!!"

"Gossip!! You are so good at acting, why don't you make a TV series?? Chef Zhao! How can you have so much money as a chef?! How do you prove that this wallet is yours!!"

"Your monthly salary is only 2 taels of silver, right? A year is 24 taels. You have worked in the palace for 7 years, and it is 168 taels without food or drink. How did you save 500 taels!! Tell me!!" Song Yitao Out of breath, she didn't understand how Chef Zhao, who would definitely leave some for her to try when there were new dishes, became like this.

"This... This is the money my mother sold the old house for me to marry a daughter-in-law, and it just happened to be stolen by you."

"Please ask the side princess to make the decision for me!!" Chef Zhao kowtowed to the side princess.

"What nonsense are you talking to this woman!! Come here! Put this murderer into prison!!" Fifth Madam commanded excitedly.

When several guards came up, they held Song Yitao and wanted to take her away.

"stop!!"

Outside the door, Little Seventh Master and Fifth Master stepped into the hall with gloomy faces.
