The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 152 Killing!

Muxiang pinched her waist with both hands, kicked Chunxiu with her foot, and spat: "Bah! You want to plot against the young lady? You're looking for death!"

Before Jian Yue and Fu Yun approached the pavilion, Fu Yun paused and gently pulled Jian Yue.

Jian Yue nodded imperceptibly. She had a sharp nose and could already smell the faint smell of blood in the air.

The two of them distanced themselves from each other, and Jian Yue took out a packet of medicine powder.

"Murder! Someone come quickly! Murder!" The sharp cry was heard from far away, and the maids and servants who heard it hurried to report to Yan Xiuyuan.

Yan Xiuyuan’s eyes went dark.

The warehouse manager had just committed suicide, and before the banquet was over, another murder occurred. Where was his authority as the lord of the mansion?

The old patriarch looked serious and frowned, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the security measures in the mansion.

Several other elders looked worried and urged Yan Xiuyuan to solve the problem quickly.

This matter could no longer be covered up because many guests had heard about it.

At this moment, Huang Li exclaimed: "Oh! Liang Yuan, Miss Yue just left. Could she be in danger?"

Yan Xinning's face changed, she was secretly delighted, and hurriedly said to Xie Chujiao: "Godmother, let's go see Sister Yue as soon as possible!"

Everyone present was curious about who was killed, and they all stood up, looking like they were going to watch the fun. This was exactly what someone wanted. So, a group of people rushed to the scene of the accident.

Yan Wu was the first to arrive. When he arrived, he saw a figure flash by in the distance and then disappear.

Outside the pavilion, Fu Yun caught a man dressed as a servant. Both of them were covered in blood. Jian Yue cut the strips of cloth on his body and tied him up.

Seeing that the boy looked unfamiliar but had good martial arts skills, Yan Wu couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

The servant ignored him and watched the crowd approaching before he shouted to Jian Yue: "Miss Jian, I have already killed the person you asked me to kill. We are even now. Please don't make things difficult for my family anymore." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Jian Yue:...What a big pot!

Everyone who heard his words looked at Jian Yue, with different thoughts in their minds.

Yan Xiuyuan rushed over with a confused look on his face: "What happened? Who was killed?"

"A maid was killed," Jian Yue said, "When we came, we found this man standing in the pavilion. He quickly stabbed a maid. Then he threw the knife in his hand at me. Fu Yun stepped forward to stop him, but he didn't expect that he had an accomplice. The two of them couldn't beat Fu Yun, and the other one escaped with injuries."

Yan Xiuyuan entered the pavilion and saw a maid lying on the ground with blood gushing from her chest and her eyes wide open.

"Girl Yue, the West Garden is desolate and no one has lived here for a long time. Why did you come here?" Xie Chujiao asked as soon as she arrived.

Jian Yue didn't answer her and asked Fu Yun to bring Chunxiu over.

Yan Xinning, who was following Xie Chujiao, narrowed her eyes and subconsciously tightened her fingers. Huang Li behind her quickly lowered her head, afraid that others would notice the nervousness on her face.

Yan Xiuyuan left the pavilion, looked at the bound Chunxiu, and asked: "Who is she?"

Chunxiu had been awakened by Jian Yue's fumigation. She looked pale and her whole body was shaking.

Jian Yue raised her eyebrows: "Father doesn't know her? She said she was the tea maid in father's study. I met her halfway on the way back to the courtyard. She said someone knew about my mother and my grandparents, so she brought us here."

Jian Yue's eyes swept over Xie Chujiao and Yan Xinning, with a look of grievance on her face: "Father, if someone doesn't want me to return, I won't return. On the first day of entering the family tree, you want to frame me for murder. You want to put me to death!"

At first, Jian Yue didn't understand the other party's intention. But when she saw the servant killing someone and throwing the dagger at her, she understood. Unfortunately, the other party underestimated Fu Yun's fighting ability and didn't expect that she would knock down the maid who led the way in the first place.

Yan Xiuyuan had a gloomy look on his face. Just as he was about to tell Yan Wu to call for guards, he saw Butler Yan rushing over with several guards.

"Master, it was my negligence that allowed the bad guys to sneak into the mansion. Please punish me." Butler Yan knelt down, beads of sweat dripping down his face.

Steward Yan is an old man in the mansion, and his loyalty is beyond doubt. Yan Xiuyuan did not reprimand him in front of outsiders, but waved his hand: "You get up first! We can talk about punishment after this matter is investigated. Someone..."

"Father..." Jian Yue stopped him, "Just interrogate him here! I'm afraid if I take him away, he'll be silenced. Then I won't be able to explain myself."

Yan Xinning couldn't help but say: "Sister Yue, the one who died was a maid in the mansion. This is a family matter. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public..."

Jian Yue sneered: "Isn't it enough to raise today? One more piece won't make a difference."

Biyu suddenly screamed: "Master, Madam, the dead person is Chunzhi. How could it be Chunzhi?" As she spoke, she glanced at Jian Yue.

Before the banquet, Xie Chujiao repeatedly said that she had sent someone to Shiyuexuan to call her several times. However, Jian Yue insisted that no one had gone to Shiyuexuan, and that the maids and servants in Shiyuexuan had been knocked unconscious. Later, it was confirmed that something had indeed happened in Shiyuexuan, but it was not confirmed whether Chunzhi had gone to Shiyuexuan, but she was killed at this critical moment.

Who killed her? Why did they kill her? This is worth pondering.

"Butler Yan, is this Chunxiu a maid in the mansion?" Jian Yue asked.

Housekeeper Yan wiped the sweat off his head and said quickly: "Miss, Chunxiu is a maid in the mansion. She works in the laundry room."

"What about this one?" Jian Yue pointed at the servant who committed suicide by taking poison.

Butler Yan shook his head: "He is not from our house."

"Father, hurry up and try her! Otherwise, a hidden weapon will appear and kill Chunxiu."

The person hiding in the dark and preparing to launch a hidden weapon:...

Although Yan Xiuyuan was a little angry that Jian Yue disregarded the reputation of the Mansion Master, he also knew that she had a point. He asked the guards to surround Chunxiu, with her back facing inwards and her face facing outwards, and to be alert to any movement around her at any time.

He looked at Chunxiu solemnly: "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"

Chunxiu looked at Jianyue and cried, "Yes, it was the eldest lady. I met the eldest lady on the way and she ordered me to lead them to the West Garden."

Fu Yun kicked Chun Xiu to the ground and said, "Keep making it up."

Xie Chujiao said, "Master, if a servant dies, it's fine. We can't let her delay the banquet. It's better to lock her up in the woodshed first and deal with her after the banquet."

Yan Xiuyuan didn't say anything.

Jian Yue smiled and looked at Chunxiu: “Chunxiu, do you have a family?”

Chunxiu's face turned pale and she looked frightened.

"That's it. You should know the consequences of making random accusations against your master. Do you think that everything will be over once you die? No, you are wrong! In order to prevent future troubles, your master will kill your entire family."

"No, no..." Chunxiu collapsed to the ground in fear. Jian Yue's words made her panic...
