Chapter 217: Worse than the Devil
Pu Yangxuan was stunned, staring at his wife in disbelief.
Xue Jinyi sighed.
"Recall how Mrs. Teng died, none of us have seen it with our own eyes. So, I have a conjecture......"
She finished speaking without hurry, and the Daxing County Order was also checked, and Puyang Xuan returned to her composure.
After searching for the truth, perhaps the most ridiculous idea is the truth.
"In this world, there are times when the human heart is more terrible than the devil." Xue Jinyi shook her head and smiled.
Just like Sun Suci's upbringing of the original owner, and like Queen Cai's harsh treatment of Ah Xuan, she treated a child with such great malice, and now she wants to use the terrifying ghost to ask for their lives.
The Daxing County Commander took off his gloves and shirt with a distressed expression, and Liu Shizhong asked, "Have you found anything?" ”
"It's really strange," the Daxing County Commander frowned, "Xia Guan definitely didn't let go of anything, but he couldn't find any clues." Xia Guan really wanted to know how Mrs. Teng died. ”
Liu Shizhong's brows were also deeply locked, and he exchanged glances with several colleagues.
Zhongshu Ling, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Qiu Mingfu is a master of autopsy, if he can't see it......"
Daxing County Commander modestly arched his hand, "There is a sky outside the sky, and the book is praised." ”
Liu Shixin sneered.
Liu Fangshi was a little nervous, "In ancient times, there was witchcraft, and it was very cruel to dry the blood of livestock and use it to worship evil demons. So ......"
"So, does Liu Shangshuling still think that this matter is the work of evil demons?" Xue Jinyi suddenly interrupted him in a loud voice.
Liu Fangshi's beard was about to blow up angrily, staring at the little girl, and asked coldly: "Princess Chu, although you are a prince and concubine, we are also important members of the imperial court, and the emperor's most trusted and valued courtier, you interrupted me so directly, it is a little rude, right?" ”
Xue Jinyi smiled calmly in the face of his anger, "Liu Shangshuling, the autopsy is only part of the investigation process, and you haven't asked the relevant people yet, but you are in a hurry to guide this matter to the ghosts, trying to shake people's hearts?" ”
Pu Yangxuan glanced at his confident and calm wife, happy and a little melancholy in his heart.
Such words should have been said by him, he came to protect his beloved wife well and not be bullied by anyone, but Ah Jin was right - he must carefully put away his edge now and not expose too much.
Xue Jinyi noticed Pu Yangxuan's eyes and winked at him quickly.
If it weren't for the inopportune times, Pu Yangxuan really wanted to hug such a lovely wife and shelter her from the wind and rain.
The two of them frowned on this side, and Liu Fangshi hated it over there.
The little girl is so clever that she really underestimated her! Wrong...... It was his mistake to be able to sabotage such a well-thought-out plan, and he shouldn't have underestimated this princess of Chu. Liu Fangshi gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "I'm just guessing, so it's better to take precautions as soon as possible." ”
"You are an important member of the imperial court trusted and valued by the emperor, how many officials take you as an example and learn from your words and deeds," Xue Jinyi raised her chin slightly, her not particularly beautiful face, revealing a compelling momentum, "So, I thought Liu Shangshuling should pay more attention to words and deeds, and know very well what to say and what not to say, right?" ”
Some people were applauding, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be the Imperial Doctor.
"Princess Chu is young, but she has such an opinion, which is really remarkable." He nodded and praised: "As Princess Chu said, we should be cautious in our words and deeds to avoid bringing turmoil and disaster. ”
Xue Jinyi modestly bowed slightly, "I have also listened to the teachings of my grandmother and father since I was a child, and I was born and raised in the Weiguo Mansion. ”
Liu Fangshi felt a little toothache, the little girl was mocking him!
It's all old foxes here, who can't hear it?
However, no one will say anything explicitly, they will all mock him secretly, and look at his jokes, so can he say anything?
No.
Liu Fangshi decided to shut up, he had done enough, and the trouble caused by those gangs of waste, told them to clean up by themselves.
Liu Shizhong didn't look at Liu Fangshi, and asked Xue Jinyi: "It seems that Princess Chu has something to ask relevant people?" ”
"Jinyi is not talented," Xue Jinyi smiled, "I just want to solve some doubts in my heart as soon as possible, and I also want to completely dissolve the haze in the Chu Palace's mansion as soon as possible and live a peaceful and stable life." ”
She guessed that it was too appalling to be mentioned like "blood", and now she had to stand up and lead the truth.
Wang Siqing has been arrested, and together with a member of the palace of the king of Chu, he knelt at the gate of the courtyard, and Liu Shizhong said politely: "Princess Chu, please." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled and nodded, and led everyone to the door with Pu Yangxuan, and asked, "The person who found Teng Pozi dead, raise your hand." ”
Several subordinates looked at each other, and five of them raised their hands, two maids and maids from the Weiguo Mansion, and three palace people.
Xue Jinyi said: "The five of you will tell you about the situation before and after the incident. ”
Liu Fangshi, who was silent at the middle book, asked puzzledly: "Everyone present already knows the details, why does the princess have to ask again?" ”
"Since you can't find out the clue, why not figure it out from the beginning?" Xue Jinyi didn't panic at all in the face of questions, and nodded at those people, "Let's start with you." ”
The maid who was named by her shrunk her shoulders tremblingly, and stumbled her mouth, "First of all, last night Teng Pozi kept saying that there were dark shadows wandering around, and then in the morning she was a little delirious, and the slaves and maids let her rest in the house, and then the slaves and maids were worried that she would be hungry, so they sent porridge in, and the result was ......"
Her eyes widened, as if the terrifying scene had reappeared in front of her eyes, which made everyone startled again.
Xue Jinyi interrupted her, "At that time, a servant ran to the street and told the King of Chu that there was a maid who sent rice porridge in, who was it?" ”
The maid was obviously stunned for a moment, "Yes, yes......" She subconsciously looked to the side.
The eyes of the crowd became subtle.
"What are you looking at, are you scared silly? It's not you. A palace man shouted.
The maid woke up like a dream, and shouted in a panic: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a slave!" It's a slave! ”
Xue Jinyi smiled gently, "So, what kind of porridge did you send?" ”
The maid said: "It's just ordinary rice porridge." ”
"Sweet or salty?"
"No taste......"
"Are you sure?" Xue Jinyi asked, "Is the porridge sweet or salty?" ”
The maid was a little flustered, feeling that this question was a trap, she kept looking at the palace people next to her, hoping to get an answer, but being watched by so many people, the palace people didn't dare to make any moves.
"It's white!" The maid gritted her teeth and replied firmly.
"Really?" Xue Jinyi raised her eyes to look at everyone, and suddenly walked quickly behind a yamen official with her back to her, and patted him on the shoulder.
The little official was so frightened that he screamed, and the record book in his hand fell to the ground.
Xue Jinyi said: "You have seen it, the little official of the yamen is still so frightened that he throws away the things in his hand, and an ordinary little maid is frightened by a huge and terrifying fright? However, when we went to see the inside of the house, did anyone see broken bowls and spilled rice porridge on the floor? ”
