My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!



"The next day, when I went to the bookstore to copy books, I heard someone say that Xie Jun's sister had gone missing. Master Xie was so anxious that he went to report it to the police, and now everyone is looking for her. I rushed home to ask Xiao ru. Xiao ru denied it and said that I must have seen it wrong."

"No matter how I tried to move her with emotion or reason, she denied it and even cried. Her family thought that I had bullied her, so her brother pulled me out of her house. There's nothing I can do since she doesn't want to admit it. I saw that her shoes were stained with mud, and there were withered flowers on the mud, just like the ones in our Academy. I've heard from the Academy's flower manager that there's only one place in the suburbs of the capital that has flowers. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I asked the manager and said that I wanted to pick some for my mother. The manager told me the way. I left the city, but I didn't find anything."

"I was thinking that if the Yamen found out that young lady Xie often looked for me, she would definitely come to my house to ask about my mother and me. So I picked this flower and put it in the house. If something happens to miss Xie, maybe when we find her, she will also have this kind of flower on her body. Xiao ru's feet are also stained with it. "

"The night before yesterday, I deliberately let mother stay in the room and wait for the Yamen people to come and question her. I was hoping that the Yamen people would find it, because this flower is rare in the capital."

After Song Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head in a dispirited manner.

Gu Xin asked again,"what about manzhu?" What do you think of man Zhu?"

Song Yi raised his head in confusion."Manzhu?"

Gu Xin nodded,"that's right, manzhu." Is manzhu always by miss Xie's side when she looks for you? Did you do anything out of the ordinary to her?"

Song Yi shook his head. actually, I don't talk much to miss Xie. Every time we meet, it's just a chance encounter. Manzhu is by her side. I didn't do anything unusual to the master and servant."

At this time, li dafei, who had gone to the general of the city guard to get the records, came back. He was holding a few notebooks, which were the records of the people entering and leaving the city from the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to the day before yesterday when the bodies were found.

Gu Xin first flipped through the book on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Song Yi did not lie. He did leave the city at the end of the morning on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year and returned at noon. The purpose of leaving the city was also to find wildflowers for his mother.

At five o 'clock on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, ye cuiru drove a carriage out of the city. She said that she was delivering goods. The father and son of the ye family were the ones who delivered things for others and often went in and out of the three gates of the capital. Sometimes, ye cuiru and Madam Zhu would also follow them, so she had a few sacks of goods in her carriage and did not check them in detail.

However, there was no record of ye cuiru returning to the city. She probably did not return home from the East City.

However, the song family's mother and son had indeed seen ye cuiru at night.

Gu Xin flipped through the records for a while, but she did not find any records of man Zhu entering and leaving the city.

So, the murderer, ye cuiru?

She put down the booklet and asked li dafei to inform the bailiffs to arrest the ye family. They also lied and said that ye cuiru had been at home from the sixth to the eighth day of the new year because she was sick. How could they not know that ye cuiru had gone out on the seventh day of the new year?

Li dafei immediately went down to call for help and happened to meet Constable Gao, who had already rested.

When Constable Gao heard that the princess had found the murderer the moment he woke up, he was in awe of Gu Xin and worked even harder.

Gu Xin thought for a while and decided not to ask the magistrate for help. She felt that there was still something missing from this case.
