Daming King of Punishment
Page 1022
Xiaohui lowered her head: "I killed the man."
With the facts in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but admit it.Xiaohui nodded and admitted that she killed Lord Hou, but Song Wuya felt that the matter was still unfinished.
"Who ordered you?" Song Wuya asked Xiaohui coldly.
He felt that there must be someone behind Xiaohui ordering her, otherwise she would not have done such a thing.Song Wuya already knew how long she had been in the Hou Mansion.She has not been here for a long time, but it has been more than a year.
Among these servants, Song Wuya had also investigated, and almost all of them said that they had no problem with Lord Hou.
If Xiaohui and Lord Hou had no festivities, why would she do such a cruel thing to Lord Hou?
Therefore, Song Wuya felt that Xiaohui must have been instigated by others.
This point is exactly the same as what Song Wuya and the others had guessed before, someone wants to make Lord Hou die.But why this is so, this is something Song Wuya hasn't figured out yet.Besides, Song Wuya had already thought of another thing.
The person who instructed Xiaohui was most likely the shopkeeper of the Zuixian Tower.After all, they had learned another thing before that, the corpses of these women buried by Lord Hou in the courtyard were all from the shopkeeper of the Zuixian Tower.The reason why Hou Ye, who has always been approachable, would do such a thing is entirely because the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou gave him an idea to allow him to continue his heirs.
It was precisely because of this that Song Wuya felt that the shopkeeper of the Zuixianlou was probably the one who wanted Master Hou to die.After all, Lord Hou bears many lives, even if he is a prince, he cannot escape the responsibility.
Although he thought of this person, Song Wuya didn't say it directly in front of Xiaohui.Because there are other people around besides her.If he said it directly like this, it is inevitable that someone will pass on this matter, and if the other party is alerted by then, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, Song Wuya took a deep breath and said, "No one ordered you? That's easy, I didn't expect you, a weak woman, to have such powerful means. Come, take this thief girl down!"
Without specifying, Song Wuya greeted the yamen servants, took Xiaohui down, and put her directly in prison.
After more than three days, the case was finally solved.The murderer who killed Lord Hou has been found, and their purpose of coming here has been fulfilled.
However, although the murderer has been found, there are still some mysteries in the Hou Mansion that have not been solved.
Who is the owner of that shoe, and who is the woman that Mrs. Hou locked up in the Buddhist hall in the backyard?
The real reason for the first thousand and 150 chapters
The real reason for the first thousand and 150 chapters
The fact that the murderer was the maidservant Xiaohui soon spread throughout the Hou Mansion.After Madam Hou got the news, she immediately came to check.
"Why did our Hou Mansion feel sorry for you? You actually treated Lord Hou so cruelly!"
Obviously, Mrs. Hou couldn't figure out why Xiaohui wanted to kill Lord Hou.
"Madam Hou, please don't get excited. Now that the murderer has been arrested, Lord Hou can rest in peace." Song Wuya looked at the emotional Madam Hou, and quickly persuaded her.
Madam Hou's tears were already falling. It seemed that Song Wuya had misunderstood her before, but she still had feelings for Lord Hou.
"Thanks to the two adults, we were able to find the real culprit. If not, my husband will not be at peace under the Nine Springs." Madam Hou said weeping.
Seeing her like this, Song Wuya has no intention of leaving the Hou Mansion in a hurry.After all, he still has some things to figure out.
Although the investigation of the case in the Hou Mansion has been concluded, he still hasn't figured out what happened to Mrs. Hou and the housekeeper.Although this is no longer an important matter, Song Wuya still couldn't help but want to ask what happened.
"Mrs. Hou, I still have some things I want to talk to you about." Song Wuya spoke directly, motioning for Mrs. Hou to take a step to speak.
Sure enough, seeing Song Wuya like this, Mrs. Hou showed curiosity.Obviously she didn't understand what else Song Wuya wanted to ask her for.
Madam Hou brought Song Wuya to the lobby, and Bai Zhuo followed.
"What else do you two adults want to ask?" Mrs. Hou sat down, looked at the two of them and asked directly.
"It's nothing!" Song Wuya smiled slightly: "I just want to know who Madam Hou is hiding in the Buddhist hall in the backyard."
"This..." Mrs. Hou was taken aback when she heard this. She probably thought that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo didn't know anything about the Buddhist hall in the backyard.Surprised, Mrs. Hou remembered what she had said to Song Wuya and the others before, and immediately reprimanded: "The two adults are really gentlemen before you! You promised me not to investigate that Buddhist hall."
"Wrong!" Bai Zhuo immediately retorted when he heard this: "At that time, we agreed to you, Madam, but you said at that time that we were not allowed to search the Buddhist hall in the backyard. We did not enter the Buddhist hall, so we did not cheat. Madame, I just investigated and found out that Madam hid a person in the Buddhist hall."
Madam Hou had nothing to say for a moment, what Bai Zhuo said was not without reason.After all, that's what they promised at the time.
"Now that the truth has come to light, why does Mrs. Hou have to hide this?" Song Wuya also persuaded.
Madam Hou frowned tightly and said, "My lords, I'm afraid this is not part of this case, is it?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Although it was confirmed that Mrs. Hou's matter was not involved in the case, they couldn't say that at this time. If they said so themselves, then Mrs. Hou would be even more unwilling to explain this matter.
So, Song Wuya can only say that this matter has something to do with her.
Madam Hou frowned when she heard this, she didn't know if she felt that Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were making trouble for no reason.
Anyway, since Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo brought her here, they obviously planned to learn about it from her mouth.
"Since the two adults insist on knowing, then I'll tell you." Finally, Madam Hou was unwilling to argue with Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo on this matter, and she was ready to tell the truth. "The person hiding in the Buddhist hall in the backyard is Wan'er."
Although Song Wuya had guessed something before, when he heard the name Wan'er from Mrs. Hou, he was still a little surprised.
After all, they had already heard about Wan'er from Mrs. Hou when they first entered the Hou's Mansion.
She said at the beginning that Wan'er was kicked out of the Hou Mansion because of some mistakes she made.But I didn't expect Mrs. Hou to secretly hide her in the Buddhist hall in the backyard, and I didn't know which play she was acting in.
"Why is that?" Bai Zhuo asked curiously: "Didn't you say at the beginning that Wan'er had already been kicked out of the Hou's mansion? Why is she hidden by you again at this time?"
But at this time, Song Wuya already understood what was going on.
"It's because Wan'er is pregnant, and you want her to be the successor of Lord Hou?" Song Wuya asked what he had guessed in his heart.
As soon as he said that, Mrs. Hou nodded.
Obviously that was the case, and it was obviously no secret that Wan'er was pregnant.From the very beginning, Xiaoqiu's words were not difficult to hear. If she wanted to be like Wan'er, she must want to give birth to Lord Hou, so that she could succeed in ascending the throne.
"Then you can let the people of the Hou Mansion entertain her well, why hide her in that kind of place?" Song Wuya was very curious about this point, he felt that Mrs. Hou might have noticed that someone deliberately let her Lord Hou can't leave any heirs.
Just as he thought this in his heart, Mrs. Hou had already given him the answer: "There are people who don't want Lord Hou to continue to inherit the title, and tried every means to prevent him from leaving any children. Now that Wan'er is finally pregnant, Master Hou and I are very happy. But I didn't expect Master Hou to be in such a catastrophe. After Master Hou died, I immediately protected Wan'er, lest she might make a mistake."
"Madam is really painstaking!" Song Wuya said with emotion: "However, there is one thing that Madam did not do very well!"
"Huh?" Madam Hou was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Song Wuya suspiciously.
Song Wuya didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore, so he said directly: "You did the haunting, right?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Hou's face was serious, she was silent for a while before she said, "How did you find out, my lord?"
"It's nothing, I just found that shoe at the scene. There are two shoes in the front and back, and these two shoes belong to two people. One of them belongs to Xiaoqiu, and we can't confirm who the other one is. But All the women in the Hou Mansion have tried it on, but it's not their shoes, so I think only Madam Hou's is yours." Song Wuya expressed his inference.
Although this is not much evidence, it can almost prove that Mrs. Hou is the one who pretends to be a ghost.
Regarding this point, Mrs. Hou did not deny it, she nodded and said: "That's right, the person who pretended to be a ghost is me."
"You want to prevent Master Hou from making mistakes again and again?" Song Wuya also knew Mrs. Hou's good intentions, so he asked.
Mrs. Hou nodded: "Master Hou listened to outsiders' slander, and he did such an unconscionable thing. As his wife, I tried to persuade him, but it was of no avail. Master Hou has already treated him because he has no children. I'm complaining, not to mention he can't wait to have a child. That's why he did such a thing."
