Vol 2 Chapter 946: Cousin Qu died

When the old lady died, Gu Mei began to wear filial piety.
The white lantern outside the gate of Daihou Mansion also changed its appearance.
Two days in a row, two people died in a row, which was terrible.
The news broke out and the capital was shaken.
Even the "Big Zhou Life Show" reported on the death of Han Goro and the old lady of Daihou House.
The old lady died, as expected.
Han Goro's death was really unexpected.
The battle has been settled. Pursuing the court of the Beirong King, this kind of opportunity for meritorious service is given to the door, and the dignified children must be guarded by their own soldiers. How can they die in the army?
If you die by meritorious service, that's all.
However, Han Goro's death has nothing to do with his meritorious service.
There are rumors in the market, all kinds of speculation rumors are flying everywhere.
Gu Mei was busy handling the funeral and dealing with relatives and friends. For market rumors, there is no way to deal with them.
Gu Jiu sent a palace official to visit and ask if he needs help.
With a haggard face, Gu Mei said to Xu Yousi: "Can the court let Master Hou and my son go back to Beijing to take care of the old lady's funeral?"
The weather is too hot to stop the spirit for long.
Gu Mei was very worried that she would have to send the old lady into the family temple before the Hou Ye and Shizi returned to Beijing, and she would be buried directly after the monk had finished the ritual.
Then there will be a complaint.
There is also the remains of Han Goro.
Gu Mei asked again: "Can the court return Goro's body to us? If the court is inconvenient, we can send someone to the northwest to the coffin back to Beijing."
"Madam's request, our family will truthfully report to the mother. There will be news later."
"Thank you, Father Xu."
"Madam Shizi is polite!"
The porter came to report, and cousin Qu came.
Gu Mei looked disgusted, "What is she here for?"
"Said it was a stick of incense for the old lady."
Gu Mei rubbed her eyebrows, "Let her come in."
Cousin Qu wore a plain clothes, really pretty.
When Han Wulang's wife saw her in the mourning hall, her eyes were breathing fire.
Cousin Qu, ignoring the eyes of everyone, wiped her tears, and cried: "Grandma went too suddenly. Some time ago I was thinking about grandma's 80th birthday and what gifts to prepare. Unexpectedly, people disappeared in a blink of an eye. Uh..."
"False feelings!"
Han Wulang's wife asked Gu Mei, "Why did my sister-in-law let her in?"
"After all, she is the granddaughter of the old lady's invitation. The old lady has passed away. She came to worship and it is not easy to drive people out."
After crying, his eyes turned red.
Cousin Qu wiped away her tears and came to Gu Mei's side, glancing at Han Wulang's wife from the corner of her eye.
She whispered: "Thanks to your cousin! I don't know if there is anything I can help with, but the cousin can speak up."
"You have a heart. Everything is done by others without help."
Cousin Qu wiped her eyes and looked like she was about to cry again, "I have written to my mother. My mother knows that her grandmother has passed away, and she doesn't know how sad she will be. Where is the aunt? I'll go see her."
"Forget it! Madam is unwell, it is not convenient to see foreign guests."
Cousin Qu was hurt, clutching her chest. Then he laughed at himself, "The big cousin is right, to the Hou Mansion, I am indeed a foreigner. Forget it, I will leave now, so as not to be disgusting."
"It's rare to have a little self-knowledge." Han Wulang's wife didn't lower her voice at all, and said this straightforwardly, and everyone around him heard it.
Cousin Qu was sad, but she still wanted to talk, and left silently without saying a word.
People who don't know the inside story saw it, and couldn't help but sympathize with cousin Qu. Believing that the Han family bullies the guests is not a way of hospitality at all.
"How to treat guests, it is not the turn of outsiders to talk."
Faced with the accusations from everyone, Han Golang's wife went straight back.
Gu Mei made a decisive decision and asked her to take Han Wulang's wife back to the room for reflection.
...
After leaving Daihou Mansion, there was still half a tear on Cousin Qu's face.
She rode a carriage to the market. I deliberately bought a few brightly colored cloths to go home and plan to make new clothes.
She wants to dress beautifully, glamorously, to stimulate and stimulate the female relatives in Daihou Mansion.
Humph!
Dare to dislike her!
Han Wulang is dead, she is still a little sad. It was better after all.
Now she just feels happy!
It would be better if a few more people died in the Han family.
Especially Mrs. Daihou, if it weren't for her to hinder her, maybe she would have married into Daihou's mansion as a young woman.
You don't have to go back to your hometown with your grandmother, Mrs. Qu, to marry the children of unknown military commanders. Live a good life, but not much better.
Back to the mansion with colorful cloth.
The cloth is handed over to the subordinate to make new clothes.
She was tired and went directly to the room, planning to take a break.
Just after sitting down in front of the dressing table and taking off the earrings, I found that there was one more person in the room.
She shook her hand, and the earring almost pierced her finger.
She hurriedly turned her head, "Manny!"
Cousin Qu's husband was named Lin Dalang, General Lin, and Lao Cu.
"Don't worry about you, come back and have a look."
Cousin Qu instantly smiled and rushed into the arms of General Lin, "I miss my husband too."
General Lin smiled and lifted her collar, "Why do you dress so plainly? Is it because the family doesn't have enough money."
"No. When my grandmother passed away, I came to worship, so naturally I had to dress more plainly. Aren't you at the border, how could you suddenly return to Beijing. Is it a change of defense, and you don't have to go to the northwest from now on?"
Cousin Qu asked curiously.
General Lin smiled and said: "I have a task. I shouldn't go home according to the rules. I really missed you and the children so I went home and took a look. Don't say anything. If someone finds me, I will go home secretly. Will be engaged by military law."
Cousin Qu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Not even the next person. How long can you stay?"
General Lin bit her ear and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will leave the city before dawn."
Cousin Qu knew, she got up and walked to the door to call for someone, "Prepare a table of wine and food. Besides, no one can come in without my instructions. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to come in, remember?"
"The servant girl remembered."
"Go!"
The husband and wife had a table of wine and food and lived a married life at night.
The next day, he went three poles, but he didn't see the mistress get up. The confidant girl courageously went to the bedroom window and tapped on the window gently, "Madam, it's time for the madam to get up. Madam is going to make a new dress, and the needlework lady has chosen a few styles. Please make up your mind."
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the room.
The maid knocked on the window again, "Madam, today's newspaper has been bought, and it contains news about Daihou Mansion."
Still nothing happened.
The maid hesitated again and again, called a few women and opened the door boldly.
The maid lifted the curtain, walked into the bedroom, and lifted the quilt.
"what……"
The maid screamed in horror and everyone was terrified.
Lin Mansion is in chaos!
Because Mrs. Lin's cousin Qu is dead!
Suddenly and unexpectedly!
And his eyes were wide open, obviously not looking at him. She didn't expect to die when she thought about it.
When the news reached Daihou's Mansion, Gu Mei was stunned for a while.
"Do you know how it died?" she asked her.
The servant shook his head, just saying that he didn't know.
"People are suddenly gone. Are there any reporters in the Lin Mansion? As far as I know, Cousin Qu has no hidden illnesses."
"The butler of the Lin House can't make up his mind, he's not sure whether to report to the official or not. The two little masters of the Lin family are too young to be in charge."
"If she died strangely, in order to give the Lin family and Qu family an explanation, she should report to the official. You should pass this sentence of this lady to the Lin House steward and ask him to make up his mind as soon as possible."
"Little got it."
The Lin House steward finally decided to report to the official.
Just because the hostess died too suddenly and too unexpectedly. In addition, the maid said that there seemed to be more than one person in the room last night. Seeing the traces, a man had entered.
This is a shame.
However, as a subordinate, to give an explanation to the master, one can only rely on the court's judgment document.
Upon receiving the report, the government officials came to investigate.
Wu Zuo is experienced, "Your wife should have been smothered to death."
Picking up a pillow at the head of the bed, "The murder weapon is probably this pillow."
what!
The people of Lin Mansion were all shocked.
The wife turned out to be smothered to death.
"My wife has no enemies, how can she be smothered to death?"
"Who can avoid the next person and enter my wife's bedroom? Is it someone in the house who has an unpredictable heart?"
"The maid did not say that when I heard something yesterday, there seemed to be one person in the room besides the wife."
"There are so many wines and dishes, only a little left, obviously not the wife eats it alone."
"But these wines and dishes are all the master's favorite. The master is in the border, is there a second person who has the same taste as the master?"
The servant talked about it.
The government determined that Cousin Qu was murdered, and began investigating the case.
...
Gu Jiu also heard about this.
She thought a little far away, "First Han Wulang was killed by a cold arrow, and then cousin Qu was held to death in her own home. The murderer did not alarm anyone, not even the guard dog of Lin Mansion. This happened. Gong looked at how it seemed like an acquaintance committed the crime."
"Does the empress know who the murderer is?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "A Han Wulang and a cousin Qu. The deepest connection between them is the affair incident. Send someone to ask sister Mei, Han Wulang and cousin Qu stole people, does the Lin family know? The Ministry of War asked, can Cousin Qu’s husband, General Lin, be in the army? Are they in the same army as Han Wulang? Is there a chance to contact?"
The maid Aqing was taken aback, "The mother-in-law suspected that General Lin knew that they were affair, so she killed them separately?"
"Han Goro's death is not clear to the main palace. The death of cousin Qu is related to the silent watchdog. After eating leftovers at a table, it is obviously an acquaintance who committed the crime. This acquaintance is ready to come out. Xu Yousi, tell the Ministry of War, Ruo If necessary, General Lin is wanted."
Regardless of the reason General Lin killed someone, he would shoot cold arrows on his comrades in the army. This is a taboo and must be severely punished.
As for the personal grievances between them, Gu Jiu did not interfere.
So she made General Lin wanted by the Ministry of War, not the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
Xu Yousi took the order and left.
He went to the Ministry of Defense first, and then to Daihou Mansion.
