Chapter 894: Verbal War
"Queen Mother, this king knows that your cousin died unjustly, but what is needed in this matter is to catch the real culprit in the end, and please let the Queen Mother be restless. When the real culprit is found, your cousin can avenge Zhaoxue and smile at Jiuquan, isn't it a good thing? Why did the queen stop it? Liao Changkong chose to strike first.
Queen Wang didn't say anything, just sat there unhappily, she wanted to see what tricks this Qi Xiaoxian could play.
Qi Xiaoxian walked around Shopkeeper Lin a few times, his eyes were sharp, with a full slaughter, which made Shopkeeper Lin fearful.
Qi Xiaoxian saw through the shopkeeper Lin, he was clearly greedy for life and afraid of death, just now he looked like he was looking at death, after the queen mother announced that her daughter was sentenced to death, this shopkeeper Lin was actually afraid.
Obviously, however, he was only sad for a moment because of the death of his family, and he wanted to live at all.
"Shopkeeper Lin, if you don't tell the truth, there will be only a dead end in the end! So I'm going to ask you a question next, I hope you'd better think it through......" Qi Xiaoxian paused and continued to ask.
"Since you said that you sold poison to my daughter, then tell me, when did you sell poison to Qi Yu? There shouldn't be many people who buy this poison, right? ”
Qi Xiaoxian stared at Shopkeeper Lin with a smile.
"Of course I remember clearly, about a month ago, your daughter bought poison with me in advance, and the price I sold to her was exactly two taels of gold." Shopkeeper Lin blurted out without hesitation, and this sentence seemed to be without thinking.
After hearing this, Qi Xiaoxian laughed, and even Liao Changkong and Long Yi on one side laughed out loud.
Their voices made Queen Wang wonder in her heart, and Shopkeeper Lin was a little flustered.
"Imperial grandmother, this shopkeeper Lin is simply unforgivable! If he had said it earlier, it might have been possible that a month ago my daughter happened to be out with her father-in-law, and she had hired the most luxurious carriage in the capital, and almost the whole city knew about it. As long as you investigate casually, you will know whether what the emperor said is true or false. ”
Liao Changkong's words made the Queen Mother frown and did not speak, and he projected his eyes on Shopkeeper Lin.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Lin suddenly panicked.
"The Queen Mother, it may be that the young one is old, and I don't remember this matter very clearly. It was probably two months ago, maybe it was longer......," Shopkeeper Lin pretended that he couldn't remember this clearly.
"You are such nonsense, and you don't inquire about where my daughter was two months ago, what she was doing, how could she have had the opportunity to buy you poison. At that time, she broke her leg and has been recuperating at home......" Liao Changkong scolded Shopkeeper Lin again.
Shopkeeper Lin was taken aback, he never dreamed that this Qi Yu would have so many things.
"That should have been ten days ago...... shopkeeper Lin said several more times and dates, but all the words he said were refuted by Liao Changkong, and in the end, shopkeeper Lin relied on it to the end.
"The Queen Mother, the little one really didn't lie, Qi Yu just bought poison from the little one, and this matter is true. As for the specific time, I can't remember the specific time, because there were several times when it was not the small one who sold it to others, but the small one who sold poison to others, and the man died of the plague last month......"
Shopkeeper Lin is really an old Jianghu, and what he said is ambiguous. Everyone can only believe what he says, but they can't verify it, even if it's a lie, there is no proof of it.
The Queen Mother could see that this shopkeeper Lin was deliberately denying it, and she knew that this matter itself was dispensable.
Now that she is in charge of handling this matter, she must return everyone's innocence, otherwise it will be spread and it will not be good for her reputation as the queen mother.
Liao Changkong didn't speak, and suddenly he thought of a better way.
A calm smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he walked into the Queen Mother's side.
"Imperial grandmother, as smart as you are, you have already seen the clues of the matter, it is better for the imperial grandmother to go in with her grandson and talk, the imperial grandson has already thought of a better way." Liao Changkong looked at the Queen Mother triumphantly.
His words hit the Queen Mother's mind, because the Queen Mother, like him, also wanted to catch the murderer and end the matter as soon as possible.
After glancing at them, the Queen Mother asked everyone to stay here and go inside.
"I wonder what my grandson has to say to the imperial grandmother?" The Queen Mother's eyes were a little loving, but not too intense.
"Imperial grandmother, grandson's method is quite good, I will definitely be able to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that the wisdom of the imperial grandmother will spread all over the world......"
Liao Changkong leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear and said a few words, and the Queen Mother's originally gloomy expression instantly became ecstatic.
"You are really a good grandson of the Empress Dowager, this method is very good, now let's go out and have a look." The Queen Mother couldn't wait to go out.
She regained her suffocation and sat down in her chair.
"Shopkeeper Lin, is it true that you just said that you sold Qi Yu poison? And she also gave you two taels of gold in person, can you still keep these two taels of gold? The Queen Mother asked with a cold face.
"Yes, the Queen Mother, it was indeed Qi Yu who gave the little two taels of gold at that time, and the little one agreed to help her get the poison! The gold has long been spent, and it is not kept. What Shopkeeper Lin said was categorical, but it hit the mind of the Queen Mother and Liao Changkong.
Qi Xiaoxian was excited, this shopkeeper Lin was jumping into a trap step by step, and now he was waiting for the final answer.
"Then are you sure that you handed it over to Qi Yu with your own hands? If it was really you who handed it over to Qi Yu personally, then the mourning family believed your words for the time being. The Queen Mother continued to ask seriously.
His words were undoubtedly in the heart of Shopkeeper Lin, because Shopkeeper Lin wanted the Queen Mother to judge Qi Yu.
"Yes, the Queen Mother, it is indeed a small one that was handed over to Qi Yu by hand, and Qi Yu did buy a small poison. At that time, the queen's cousin had an accident, and the little one suspected that it was a ghost caused by poison, and the little one was so scared that he didn't sleep for several days, and he didn't expect that he was still implicated in the end, and the little family died tragically.
Now the little one doesn't ask for anything else, but only asks the Queen Mother to seek justice for the little family, not only to punish Qi Yu, but also to punish Qi Xiaoxian and others......"
Shopkeeper Lin knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, he was in tears, wiping his tears, and begging the queen mother to make decisions for him.
"Shopkeeper Lin, since you are so sure, there is a better way to verify whether what you said is correct, and that is to let you look at Qi Yu himself. In this way, you face each other, I'm afraid everything will be revealed, I don't know what the Queen Mother wants? Liao Changkong said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Lin was instantly dumbfounded, because he had never seen Qi Yu at all, and he was only talking just now, where would he notice this.
But whenever there are too many lies, they always have to cover them up with more lies, and Qi Xiaoxian and they are making good use of this.
