Chapter 715 Someone sets fire
Jing Yun said: "Why did you search me? I didn't steal anything. I just came in to find something to eat. I'm hungry."
Xiao Liu had him escorted and searched him personally, "Reporting to the queen, he has a bag of silver on him."
Xiaoliu counted and said, "It's exactly fifty taels."
"If you're hungry, you can use this money to buy food." Xiao Liu said.
Jing Yun paused, "If you have something free, you'd be stupid not to eat it. Why should I spend my own money? I'm not stupid. Who are you? Why do you care so much? I didn't provoke you."
Jiang Fenghua asked Madam Helan, "Does Madam Helan know him?"
Madam Helan hated Jiang Fenghua so much, "I don't know him. What does he have to do with me? I came here to find my daughter. My daughter is dead. Your Majesty, please give her back to me. My daughter died for Your Majesty."
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "It seems that Madam Helan is not in a clear mind. She brought you to the Li Mansion to see me! Why are there no maids and maids with you? Did Madam Helan give him this money, or did someone else give it to him? You'd better explain it clearly, otherwise I will report it to the police and confiscate your money."
Jing Yun was angry. "You are robbing me. I have already said that the silver belongs to me. I don't know her, and she also said that she doesn't know me."
He cried out, "Hurry up, someone is coming! He is bullying me and trying to steal my money! Help! He is killing people!"
Madam Li said sarcastically, "What does your Majesty mean? You are interrogating an irrelevant person in the Li family's mourning hall. Madam Helan's daughter, Concubine Lan, is also dead. She is just missing her daughter. Your Majesty said that Madam Helan and this young man are in cahoots. What are they trying to do together? It's incomprehensible."
"Madam Li, are you questioning my investigation?"
Madam Li said, "I dare not. I just feel that your Majesty's actions today are beyond my comprehension. Could it be that your Majesty suspects that this person is the murderer? Isn't this clearly calling a horse a zebra?"
As soon as these words came out, people around began to discuss quietly, "The Queen is indeed a bit weird. When Madam Helan arrived, she grabbed an insignificant person and searched him without saying a word, and even said that she was investigating a case. What case is she investigating?"
"Could it be that when the Queen said in front of Madam Li's funeral hall that she wanted to catch the real murderer, she wanted to catch someone at random to take the blame?"
"It is to exonerate the real murderer. After all, the murderer is the second brother-in-law of the queen."
"Madam Li is right. The Queen's actions are indeed inexplicable."
"This is too childish!"
At the same time, Lu Xuefei slipped out of the mourning hall and was caught by her mother. She had just secretly looked at Shu Xue's body. There were traces of beatings all over her body, and some of them were beaten after death. She even suspected that Shu Xue was violated after death. The shape of her mouth and eyes showed that she must have been frightened before death, so she couldn't close her mouth...
At this moment, she heard these women in the harem were gossiping and talking about things even though they clearly knew nothing. She just wanted to say a few words for the queen.
Madam Lu seemed to know her daughter's temper. She covered her daughter's mouth and leaned close to her ear to warn her, "The Queen can handle it herself. Why are you, a little girl, trying to show off? If I had known that you came to the Li Mansion for a purpose, I should not have brought you here."
Lu Xuefei pried her mother's hands apart, "Mom, there is something fishy about Madam Li's death. No matter how the queen wants to investigate the case, I have to help her. She even helped me just now."
Jiang Fenghua coldly scanned the women in the room, and happened to see Mrs. Lu covering Lu Xuefei's mouth. The two mother and daughter seemed to be struggling over something. The coffin behind her had been opened. Was it the little girl who opened it? She had seen the body.
Today she was going to guard the body in person, waiting for her elder brother and Zhang Anyu to get the emperor's edict, so she wanted to buy time for them.
Who called Madam Helan? Which side did the Helan family stand on in this frame-up?
The Helan family might choose to deal with Helan Yanran together because of her death, because the Helan family has always believed that Helan Yanran died for the queen.
Whose people are Jing Yun in front of them? If they were all called by the murderer to cause trouble in the Li family, what is their purpose? It can only be Shu Xue's body in the mourning hall.
She seemed to smell a scent, and she turned around suddenly, only to see two people dressed as maids suddenly pushing down the candles in the mourning hall. Even the white sails around the mourning hall instantly caught fire, and then the coffin also started burning.
The maid turned around and ran to the back of the mourning hall, and she didn't get a clear look at them.
Jiang Fenghua said coldly: "Someone set the fire."
For a moment, the entire Li family was in chaos. The flames spread very high and no one dared to get close.
Li Cheng and his men quickly fetched water to put out the fire.
Mrs. Li was also frightened and kept saying, "Hurry up and put out the fire! Oh my God, why is God doing this to our Li family? He didn't burn the murderer, but chose to burn our Li family."
"Cheng'er, be careful!" Madam Li said to the servants, "Why don't you go help the young master? What are you standing there for? Put out the fire!"
Jiang Fenghua stared at everyone present, as well as the expressions of Li Cheng and Mrs. Li. The fire had nothing to do with them; it was someone's impromptu idea.
Hongxiu quickly pulled her away and said, "My lady, be careful."
Jiang Fenghua now understood why Madam Helan appeared at this time. It turned out that someone wanted to use her to attract her attention so as to set fire to Shu Xue's body so that the coffin could not be opened for an autopsy.
At this time, Xiao Liu and his guards were guarding Jiang Fenghua. Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Help to put out the fire."
Xiao Liu said: "I am following the Emperor's orders to protect the Queen's safety. It's too chaotic here. Please leave quickly, Queen!"
Jiang Fenghua was furious. Someone set fire to Shu Xue's body right under her nose. She said, "I'm fine. I don't need your protection. Go and rescue Shu Xue's body."
Xiao Liu said: "The fire is too big."
Hong Xiu also advised, "Don't worry, Madam. The Li family is already putting out the fire. If they don't put out the fire, the entire Li family will be burned down."
Lu Xuefei also rushed forward and shouted, "My queen, save the coffin first."
Jiang Fenghua glanced at her and wondered what her name was.
Hong Xiu explained: "Miss Lu Xuefei, why are you here?"
Jiang Fenghua thought to himself: So she is Lu Xuefei, the daughter of Lu Tingwei, and the transcriber of those manuscripts in her palace.
Lu Xuefei said: "I don't have time to explain to Miss Hongxiu now. If we want to clear Mr. Jin's grievances, we must rescue Shu Xue's body."
Lu Xuefei was also very anxious. She had seen the body, but words were not enough to prove it. If the body was burned, Young Master Jin would not be able to explain it clearly.
Jiang Fenghua said coldly: "Xiao Liu, tell your people to rescue Shu Xue's body no matter what means. I will take care of my own safety."
Xiao Liu did not dare to disobey the Queen's order and handed the sword to the Queen, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
He knew that the queen was skilled in martial arts, and if there was real danger, she could protect herself with her martial arts skills.
Jiang Fenghua took Xiaoliu's sword and put it directly against Jing Yun's neck. "Who asked you to come? If you don't tell me, I will kill you."
