Song Tongzhi was about to get angry again, Yang Qiuchi waved his hand and said, "I know what you are saying. You are laughing at the third concubine in the daytime for being crazy about being crazy, laughing at her for making a fool of herself, and predicting how the old man would deal with her. Right?"

Yang Qiuchi's guess was so accurate that Yang Aixiao was a little surprised. Yang Qiuchi's words were thorny, which made her feel a little embarrassed, and she nodded.

Yang Qiuchi asked again: "There are also big grandma in the second aunt's room, right?"

Yang Aixiao nodded, and was even more surprised. Yang Qiuchi said so accurately, as if he was just watching from the side.

She didn't know that Yang Qingshui had just told her about how they tortured the third concubine. The third concubine was so ugly, how could they not be together and gloat about it?

"Who else except you three?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

"And my sister-in-law Zhou."

Sister-in-law Zhou is also there? Yang Qiuchi was shocked and turned to look at Song Tongzhi. He also discovered this problem and looked at Yang Qiuchi in confusion. Both of them thought to themselves, didn’t Yang Qingshui say that his wife could testify that he was at home that night? Did Yang Qingshui lie? It seems that Yang Qingshui still concealed something and would have to re-examine Yang Qingshui later.

Yang Qiuchi then asked, "Have you four been chatting in the second aunt's room all night?"

"No, it seems that we were talking until the fifth day of the day. I remember that if my grandmother said that if she didn't go back to sleep, it would be dawn. Then it ended."

"Can you definitely have the five-century scattered?"

Yang Aixiao nodded: "You can be sure. After chatting, I heard the 5th anniversary of the bang, and I realized it was very late. Grandma said she wanted to go back. My sister-in-law said everyone was having a happy chat and now she was a little hungry. It would be better to go back after having a midnight snack. Grandma agreed and asked Butler Pang to go to the kitchen to prepare midnight snack for us. It was only after eating midnight snack."

"Butler Pang? Is Butler Pang also with you?"

"Yes, he also hates the Third Aunt. He said that the Third Aunt is unfair and unconventional. So we asked him to stay and talk together. He was always serving tea and water. I remember my mother teasing him and saying that he had no wife. How did it feel to hold him with his third Auntie naked during the day? Everyone laughed at him and made his old face red with shame."

"Has Butler Pang not got married?"

"No, I heard that he married a relative in his early years. Later, he went out to sea with the boat. When he came back, he found that his wife had already run away with the other family and never got married again."

"Going out to sea?" Yang Qiuchi was a little curious, "What sea is there? There is no sea in Guangde?"

"I don't know much. This was what Mr. Pang said before when he was drunk. People wanted to introduce him to a marriage. He said he would rather sleep with... than look for a woman, saying that he hated women to death."

It seems that the wife of Butler Pang's wife elopes with others, causing great trauma to his heart. So she hates women very much. No wonder he beats his second concubine Zhang that day and is so cruel.

Yang Qiuchi asked again: "You guys have been chatting in your mother's room, have you never been out in the middle? For example, Xiao Jie or something?"

Yang Aixiao frowned and thought about it for a long time, shook her head: "It's been so long, I really can't remember it. Besides, who would pay attention to things like going to the cottage? However, someone must have gone to the cottage. They chatted all night long, drank tea and had snacks, and there must be some."

Yang Qiuchi estimated that the murderer strangled the third concubine to death, and then prepared Bai Ling to hang the body on the beam and hang the body on it. The whole process took at least twenty minutes, and it took at least ten minutes to enter and exit the window and repasted the window paper. The paste and window paper should have been prepared to be placed near the scene.

The distance from the second aunt's yard to the third aunt's small attic is quite far, and it takes about five minutes to run quickly, and it takes ten minutes to go. If one of the second aunt and the others is the murderer, it will take about forty minutes in total. This is a long time. If someone has disappeared for so long, they should have an impression.

Since Yang Aixiao can't remember it, it means that it is very likely that no one has gone out for that long. If this is true, then none of these four people will have time to commit the crime. It can be ruled out.

Where is Butler Pang? Butler Pang is a big man, it is impossible for him to chat with the four girls all night. Yang Qiuchi asked Yang Aixiao: "Have you never been out? I mean the kind that has been in a long time, which has been nearly half an hour?"

Yang Aixiao thought about it and shook her head with certainty: "No, I remember when we were talking about the third aunt, butler Pang kept sitting down, and from time to time, he often talked about everyone's pain and itch. I remember everyone praised him for his point of view. Later, when it was late at night, she wanted to go back, but my mother refused to let him talk. So, he didn't leave the ground until the fifth day of the day ended."

Butler Pang seems to be quite good at flattering. Since he has no time to commit crimes, he can rule it out.

However, even if he had time to commit the crime, he did not have sufficient motive for crime. Could it be that he committed adultery with the third concubine?

Although Butler Pang is quite capable, he is a shabby old man after all, and he looks atrophy and worse than Old Master Yang. Why is the third concubine asking him for adultery? Are you looking for a crime? In addition, Butler Pang hates women very much. If he is still interested in adultery with women, he will not refuse to find a wife.

Yang Qiuchi continued to ask, "What about you? You can always remember whether you have ever been to the thatched house?"

When a girl was asked about going to the cottage, she was still a little embarrassed. Yang Aixiao blushed and said, "I can't remember it. It's almost two years old, who would remember this?"

"You can't remember this, you always remember the fact that you strangled the third concubine to death?"

Yang Aixiao was shocked: "I didn't! I didn't kill the third concubine."

"Who killed that?"

"How do I know!"

"Who else can you be? You strangled the third aunt to death first, your mother poisoned the young master Shan'er to death, and you also tried to drug the eldest master to hallucinate the eldest master and then scared him to death. However, you didn't expect that the eldest master left the village and your tricks failed. So, all this was done by you and your mother after they were fully planned!

Song Tongzhi and County Magistrate Luo were both surprised and could not have imagined that this would be the result. Only Song Yuner looked at Yang Qiuchi excitedly, and was happy that his detective brother solved another major case. Although she couldn't hear how the case was solved.

Yang Aixiao was even more stupid. She didn't react for a moment and asked, "No, it's not us, why do we do this?"

"It's very simple. For the sake of the property!" Yang Qiuchi smiled very skillfully. He was complacent about his analytical and reasoning ability. "Your mother poisoned the young master to death, and at the same time, the eldest master was scared to death, and then strangled the third aunt to death. In this way, no one will come to compete with you for the property of the Yang family. Right?"

Song Yuner didn't understand very much. She asked, "The eldest young master's daughter Cao'er, and the eldest young master's daughter-in-law Zhou."

"Cao'er is a granddaughter. Can you fight with Yang Aixiao? Zhou is a daughter-in-law and cannot have the right to inherit." Yang Qiuchi came to this conclusion. It was mainly based on the current inheritance law in China. Daughters generally do not have the right to inherit, unless they are widowed daughter-in-law who fulfills the main obligation to support. In ancient times, there was no need to think about it.

"Then, there's a big grandma here!" Song Yuner seemed to be deliberately provoking this time.

"The big grandma is also a daughter-in-law..." No, the big grandma is the original wife of Mr. Yang. She is a spouse, unlike the daughter-in-law. According to the provisions of my country's Inheritance Law, this spouse is the first-order heir and has the right to inherit the husband's estate. I just don't know if it works in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Qiuchi thought for a while and felt that it didn't work. In ancient China, the eldest son inherited the system, and the daughter-in-law remarried, and she might not even be able to take her own dowry, let alone her husband's property.

According to the reasoning, it is better to ask. Yang Qiuchi turned his head and looked at Old Master Yang and asked, "Uncle, can this daughter-in-law inherit the inheritance of her husband's family?"

Although Mr. Yang was born in the imperial examination and read the Four Books and Five Classics, he was not very familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. However, he still has common sense. He said: "Women, if a woman has lost her husband and has no children, the husband's family property and the original dowry will be the main part of the ex-husband's family. However, the widow who keeps the integrity will inherit the husband's family."

Although Yang Qiuchi's ancient Chinese writing skills are not very good, he still understands these sentences. In other words, if her husband died in the Ming Dynasty and his wife remarried, she would not even be able to take away the dowry, which is consistent with her own memory. However, if a widow keeps her pride and does not marry, she can take over her husband's property. Of course, this is not a true inheritance, because she only has the right to use but does not have the right to dispose of her and cannot be taken away.

It seems that if all this was done by Yang Aixiao and her mother, she would not be able to get the property, which will be managed by the big grandmother in the future.

Then he thought again that the eldest grandma is not young and will die, and it will still fall into Yang Aixiao's hands at that time. He said excitedly: "The eldest grandma is old. After her death, will she return to Yang Aixiao?"

Yang Aixiao was almost crying when Yang Qiuchi said: "I don't, I really don't. I'm going to get married in the future. As long as my husband's family has money, and the old man will send me a dowry. What do I do with the old man's property?"

Yes, Yang Qiuchi was shocked. Yang Aixiao said it was reasonable. What did she do to Yang's family property? After all, she wanted to get married. After marrying into her husband's family, she could not even control her own dowry. She moved the entire Yang family property and contributed to her husband's family for free? It doesn't make sense. Besides, she doesn't even have a husband's family yet, so how can she be fucked?

Song Tongzhi said again: "Just, even if the eldest grandma is gone, this property will not fall into Yang Aixiao's hands."

Ah? Yang Qiuchi was even more surprised: "Why?"

Song Tongzhi has tried many cases like this, and these related articles are quite familiar. He recited: "The Daming Law stipulates: 'If there is no one who is the same clan, the one who is born will be inherited, and the one who has a relative and daughter who has no daughter will become an official."

Yang Qiuchi also understood this sentence, which means that in the Ming Dynasty, a daughter had to inherit the inheritance, and could only inherit it unless all the male members of the same clan in the family died, that is, the family was "extinct".

This old man Yang is the head of Yangjia Village. The male man in the family is Xingwang. Yang Qiuchi and Yang Lao Madam are also of the same clan. Not to mention others, as long as Yang Qiuchi is not dead, Yang Aixiao will not be able to inherit it. In addition, Yangjia Village is a whole family, and the male man is Xingwang. Yang Aixiao must rely on killing people to obtain family property, so at least all the male man in Yangjia Village must be killed.

Yang Qiuchi was a little embarrassed. It seemed that his speculation would not work.

In fact, if this case happened in modern times, Yang Qiuchi's speculation would be valid.

In my country, Yang Aixiao, the eldest and young masters are both married children of Mr. Yang, and they are the first-order heirs with the second concubine. If Mr. Yang’s spouse, the third concubine, the eldest and young masters are all dead. In the future, when Mr. Yang dies, Yang Aixiao and her mother have the right to share Mr. Yang’s inheritance with the three grandmothers. If the eldest grandmother dies before Mr. Yang, all the property of Mr. Yang will belong to Yang Aixiao and his mother.

According to this logic, Yang Aixiao and her mother attempted to poison the young master Shan'er to fight for the inheritance. Similarly, for this purpose, they tried to scare the eldest master to death. They also bought the nurse Lu's nanny to strangle the third concubine to poison Shan'er, all of which were for this purpose.

Unfortunately, this purpose was not valid in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this is not because Yang Qiuchi’s reasoning ability is problematic, but because Yang Qiuchi did not have enough understanding of the legal system of the Ming Dynasty. He used our country’s current inheritance system to analyze the inheritance issues in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there would be mistakes.

Since Yang Aixiao's motive for killing was insufficient, Yang Qiuchi asked her to step down and decided to continue to investigate others.

The following is to find Zhou, the wife of the eldest young master Yang Qingshui, to check whether what Yang Qingshui said is true. At the same time, Zhou was also one of the four gangs who persecuted the third concubine Guo, and there are also major criminal suspects, so it must be investigated.

When Zhou brought him, he still looked so quiet. It is hard to imagine that such a girl had made things difficult for her third concubine Guo. During Guo's pregnancy, she colluded with others to kick Guo's stomach in an attempt to cause her to have an abortion.

Yang Qiuchi had a good impression of her, but after knowing that, he was disgusted with it and was too lazy to be polite. He didn't even shout his sister-in-law and asked straightforwardly: "Zhou, what were you doing the night when the third concubine Guo died?"

When Zhou saw Yang Qiuchi pretending to be an official, Mr. Song, the magistrate of Ningguo Mansion, and Lord Luo, the county magistrate of Guangde County, sat on it, and did not dare to neglect it. However, her father was also appointed as the deputy of the Seventh-rank local salt department, so there was no problem of fearing the officials. He said, "Sleep at home."

"Really? Can anyone testify?"

"My husband, maids and servants can do it."

"Zhou, please remember it carefully. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you are cheating and force the master to tear his face and torture him, that would be bad."

"I'm telling the truth," Zhou sneered, "If you are going to use torture against your sister-in-law, then I can only admit it."

Song Tongzhi said in a deep voice: "You, although you are Lord Yang's sister-in-law, if you don't reply properly, answer your questions, and even violate the law of the king. Yang, Lord Yang can also torture you!"

Seeing that Song Tongzhi was angry, Zhou certainly knew the power of the government. The so-called people did not fight with the officials, not to mention that his father had been impeached and was now a commoner. His arrogance disappeared and he whispered: "What the civilian woman is telling the truth."

Song Tongzhi slapped the table: "Bold! You dare to be tricky! That night, you obviously have your mother-in-law and second aunt, Yang Aixiao, and you three are talking about the third aunt's mistress during the day in the second aunt's room. You dare to talk nonsense here now. Do you really think that I dare not torture you? Hum?"

When Zhou heard this, he realized that he had already understood everything and wanted to hide it. He forced a smile and said, "Sir, it was a civilian woman who remembered it wrong. I was with them that night. I forgot it even though it was too long. Please forgive me."

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Where was your husband that night?"

Zhou did not dare to answer randomly this time, and said honestly: "The civilian woman really doesn't know. After dinner, I went to the second aunt's room to talk. Yang Aixiao and the big grandma were already there. We kept talking until late at night. The big grandma asked Butler Pang to prepare a midnight snack, and I went back to the room after the midnight snack."

"Has your husband been in the room at that time?"

"He's here, he's sleeping in the room."

This means that Yang Qingshui is likely to sneak up on the wall and sneak into the small attic while Zhou was in the second concubine's room, strangled the third concubine to death.

Yang Qingshui had time to commit the crime, had certain motives to kill, and also concealed important facts, and the suspect became increasingly serious.

Yang Qiuchi continued to ask Zhou: "Did you four have been in the room that night? Did anyone go out halfway? For example, go to the thatched cottage or something."

Zhou recalled and said, "I really can't remember it. But it doesn't seem to be there. Everyone had a very happy chat that night. No one left for a long time. Even if they went to the cottage, there was a second aunt's yard, so there was no need to run far."

Zhou's statement is more reasonable. They saw the third concubine making a fool of themselves during the day, but they were not happy to gloat at night, so they were reluctant to leave the phone and not participate. They also need to check the statements of the eldest grandmother and the second concubine. If they are consistent, they can make a preliminary judgment that these people have evidence of absent.

Yang Qiuchi asked again: "Has your husband ever been beaten by your father-in-law for standing up for the third concubine and couldn't get out of bed for a month?"

Speaking of this, Zhou said hatefully: "This vixen can hook up men. When I first wanted to be my husband's concubine, after entering our Yang family, I took advantage of my husband's out to collect the bills and hook up with my father-in-law. After marrying her father-in-law and becoming an aunt, I also wanted to hook up with my husband. This slutty fox, broken shoes, a natural bitch, a bad bitch with her legs spread out and selling her pussy everywhere!..."

After Zhou gritted his teeth and cursed him in a series of ways, his chest kept rising and falling, and he still couldn't relieve his hatred, so he continued to curse in a low voice.

Yang Qiuchi and others were simply shocked. They couldn't understand how such a gentle and quiet young woman could curse such vicious and filthy language in front of so many men.
