"Brother Chen, how's it going? What's the gain?" Jiang Hexi asked with a smile.
Chen Gui clasped his fists and said slowly: "Miss Jiang, according to my investigation, He Jinbao fell in love with a peasant girl named Xingniang from Hushan Village last year and wanted to take Xingniang as his concubine, but Xingniang's father
My mother has long heard of He Jinbao’s bad reputation, so why would she marry her daughter to him?”
"He Jinbao became so angry that he secretly had Xingniang's father beaten to death while he was hunting in the mountains, pretending that he had been bitten to death by a tiger. Xingniang's mother, who was already in poor health, was so angry that she died of anger.
Died."
"Poor Xingniang has no brothers or sisters, so she became an orphan. Xingniang's eldest uncle is a wicked woman who is greedy for money. She has long encouraged Xingniang's parents to give their daughter to He Jinbao as a concubine."
"Now Xing Niang has no one to rely on. She was immediately sent to the He family by her eldest uncle. Her parents haven't even passed their first birthday!"
The more Chen Gui talked, the angrier he became, and his teeth were trembling with anger.
"This bastard! I'm going to kill him!" Liuying immediately thought of Jiang Hexi, who had a very similar fate. She was so angry that she immediately wanted to pick up the guy and punish him.
Jiang Hexi hurriedly stopped her, shook her head slightly, turned to look at Chen Gui and said calmly: "So how is Xing Niang doing now?"
"Xing Niang couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself the night she entered the house. What a shame, He Jinbao, acted like a normal person. After sending people to throw Xing Niang into a mass grave, he even took in another concubine!" Chen Gui's eyes were filled with tears!
Hong said through gritted teeth.
Jiang Hexi was silent. She had been so accustomed to smooth sailing recently that she had almost forgotten what a cruel world she was in now, a class society where aristocrats and wealthy families could regard human life as nothing.
"Miss Jiang, what are you going to do?" Chen Guidao said.
"Is there any physical evidence?" Jiang Hexi suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly.
Chen Gui immediately said anxiously: "At first, the servants of the He family thought that Xing Niang was unlucky and refused to take action, so they found Shouhou, Li Dabao's former henchman. He is a witness!"
"Also, I went to Xingniang's previous home and found that it had long been occupied by her aunt's family. However, I saw Xingniang's former idiot neighbor playing with a dart. I was confused and coaxed him out.
I learned that he had seen with his own eyes that Madam Xing was murdered, and even picked up a dart dropped by the murderer at the time, but his words were so crazy that I'm afraid I can't believe them."
Jiang Hexi pondered: "But Hu Dao is not something ordinary people can buy. As long as we investigate, we can narrow down the scope."
"That's right! I specifically asked my former brothers to check. The only one with this Hu escort in Ling County is Old Wu from the west of the city. This old man Wu was the subordinate of the bandit leader when he was young. After Jinpen washed his hands, he has been hiding in Ling County.
.”
"Most of He Jinbao's dirty and evil deeds were done by him. I estimate that the so-called death of Dr. Lin's family by thieves in that county five years ago was also done by him. It's just that it's so old that the evidence is hard to find.
"
Jiang Hexi suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Chen, I'd rather bother you to keep an eye on that fool. Liu Ying and I will go to Lin's Cloth Shop to ask shopkeeper Lin for help."
"Okay! Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will definitely be optimistic about this." Chen Gui immediately agreed.
In a green carriage speeding along the loess road, a woman in plain clothes stared at the corner of the carriage expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Liuying opened her mouth and gritted her teeth and said: "Girl, why don't we go to the General's Mansion! Uncle Huo is there, he must have a way to deal with He Jinbao, and with the power of the General's Mansion, he might even be able to defeat Doctor Lin.
The facts of the case can also be found out."
Jiang Hexi was silent for a while and then agreed in a low voice.
Liu Ying's eyes lit up, she smiled happily, and she immediately turned around and drove towards the General's Mansion.
A green carriage parked leisurely in front of the gate of General Weiyuan's Mansion.
"Miss Liuying, why are you here?" As soon as the gatekeeper saw Liuying, he immediately greeted her diligently and said with a flattering smile.
"I'm looking for Uncle Huo. Can he be in the house?" Liu Ying asked directly.
"Yes! I'll let someone take you there, little one." The gatekeeper smiled.
"No need, let's go by ourselves." Liu Ying waved her hand and took Jiang Hexi and strode in.
The two of them walked directly to the main room and waited for Uncle Huo's arrival.
After a while, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps came closer and closer.
Looking up, I saw a energetic middle-aged man striding over.
"Uncle Huo!" As soon as Liuying saw a familiar figure he hadn't seen for a long time, he stood up and trotted over.
"Liu Ying, I've been with Miss Jiang for so long, why can't I see you be more steady?" Uncle Huo said loudly.
Taking a closer look at the beautiful woman in front of him, Uncle Huo nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, hello. My surname is Huo Mingtang, and I am the housekeeper of the General's Mansion."
"He was also the former deputy general of the Huo Family Army!" Liuying added proudly, causing Huo Tang to smile and tap her nose.
"Hello, Housekeeper Huo, my little girl's surname is Jiang and her name is He Xi. I'm sorry for disturbing the house." Jiang Hexi suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and smiled slightly.
Liuying immediately couldn't wait to tell her why she came today.
Huo Tang frowned slightly and said loudly: "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I, Huo Mou, will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and we will definitely solve the matter within three days."
"Besides, the general has already given instructions that whenever Miss Jiang is in trouble, the general's office will do its best to rescue her."
Liuying held Jiang Hexi's hand and blinked appreciatively, looking very happy.
Jiang Hexi's mood became increasingly heavy. She swallowed the astringency in her throat, bent her knees and said gratefully, "Thank you, General Huo, and Butler Huo for your help."
