"You found the chrysanthemum in Junko's room, so you suspect that he first added the incense in Dergege's house to the chrysanthemum, charmed Dergege and her minions, and then killed Dergege and dumped his body in the lake?" I speculated according to the official's words.

The official first looked at me, and found that I was also looking at him, as if to verify this guess, so he eased his expression and nodded: "Gege guessed right, when we interrogated the gardener in the house, we heard that Gege had transplanted a few wooden chrysanthemums here, so in the Gege courtyard, the people re-interrogated the two Gege and a few minions lived in the house, and it happened that in the cabinet at the head of Xiao Shunzi's bed, we found ground wood chrysanthemum pieces. It's not a lot, but it's enough to make four or five people faint and comatose. ”

"However, there are not only chrysanthemums in my yard, there are several in the garden of the house, and I just saw how beautiful the flowers were, so I moved two of them. Maybe someone knows that there are chrysanthemums in my yard and deliberately planted them?" I frowned and retorted, thinking that such a simple method could make people who are used to criminal cases credulous, and punish Xiao Shunzi.

"It's true that the chrysanthemum flower is not only found in Gege Courtyard, but ......" The official paused, and suddenly asked rhetorically: "Does Gege have a piece of purple jade jade pendant in the shape of irises?"

When I heard him ask, my heart sank suddenly, and I replied coldly: "Could it be that this jade pendant has also become evidence of crime?"

The official nodded and said, "The jade pendant was found by the bedside when he first searched Degege's house, and because Degege's entourage couldn't find it at that time, the searchers felt that this jade pendant might have some origin, so they put it away as evidence." Later, when they inspected the servants and maids who had walked to Degege's side in the palace, they said that Degege did not have that jade pendant, but they had seen Gege wear a ......."

I feel an indescribable anger and pain in my heart, which is the feeling of being betrayed by a friend. I rarely trust anyone, she is the only peer I have been close to since I arrived in this era, so I have always regarded her as my best friend, and I didn't expect her to frame me like this. But for what? What did I do, how could she hate me, and even want to kill me?

"Do you remember, my lord, that day I told you that I once talked to my playmate Chun'er next door in private?" I don't want to help Chun'er hide anything, after all, she framed me in the first place. "That piece of iris jade pendant was given to me by the ninth master, and that Chun'er was also the person who was arranged by the ninth master to enter the house, because of my current identity, it is inconvenient for the ninth master to go to the ninth master in private, so I handed over the jade pendant to her, and wanted her to help me return it to the ninth master. I don't know why that jade pendant ended up in the Degege house, maybe Chun'er went to the house after Degege's death?"

The official frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "This Chun'er that Gege said, Xia Guan has also found someone to check before, and now she is the girl next to Lao Gege, who usually seems to be steady and low-key, and acts quite steadily." Why did she go to that house after Degege's death, did she just want to put this jade pendant there to accuse Gege? But according to Gege, this Chun'er should be Gege's best friend when he was not out of the cabinet, why should he frame Gege like this?"

"That's what I wondered. When I didn't enter the Fourth Master's Mansion, she had already entered the Ninth Master's Mansion as an errand, and when I left, our relationship was still very harmonious. Later, I entered the fourth master's mansion, although I broke off contact, but when I usually exchanged letters from home, I would also mention each other, and most of the words were concerned, and there was nothing suspicious. It wasn't until this year, that the ninth master arranged for her to enter the house because of his concern about my situation in the fourth master's mansion, and we met again, but I didn't keep her by my side because of her identity and purpose, and refuted the kindness of the ninth master, so she felt that I was not close to me, so I was a little dissatisfied with me, but I didn't see it again until she came to me after the Qixi family banquet, saying that she brought a letter from the ninth master, and wanted me to rebuild the old friendship with the ninth master, so there was a later intersection, and the purple jade pendant in the shape of irises also came to her hands. Didn't expect ......"

The official sighed and said: "What Gege said to the lower official is very thorough, but these are all things that cannot be said between Gege and the Ninth Master, and now even if it can be proved that this jade pendant is given to Chun'er, if someone asks why it was given to Chun'er, what is Gege going to say?"

When I heard the official ask me so rhetorically, I could only remain silent. He said exactly what he said, and I could make it clear to him that I could not talk to outsiders.

"Can I just sit back and wait for death now? What can I do to save Xiao Shunzi, and also help me clear my suspicion and clear my name?" At this time, I was also a little confused, and the only life-saving straw seemed to be the only one left in front of me, who didn't know whether it was reliable or not.

"It's hard, it's really hard. If you just find Mu Chrysanthemum in Xiao Shunzi's cabinet, it is better to say that someone may have planted it, and with the fourth master's current maintenance of Gege, someone will definitely be sent to investigate thoroughly, Xiao Shunzi may still have a chance to survive, and Gege can also have a chance to exonerate. But now because of that jade pendant, Gege's side is a crime that is not said to be a crime, but a crime on top of a crime, and even if the lower officials have the heart, they are powerless. The official shook his head, and it seemed that he had made a mistake.

I felt hopeless almost instantly, and the sadness of Chun'er's inexplicable betrayal was greater than the anger in my heart. At the same time, some people complained that the people who Yinyu sent to him this time laid a fatal curse for themselves.

"If I can prove that my jade pendant is still on my body, what if that jade pendant is not mine?" At the moment when all kinds of emotions came to my heart, I suddenly remembered that Chun'er had said that Yinyu still had a jade pendant that was the same as a touch, and this sentence was like a ray of light in the darkness, which made me, a person who was almost dying, see a glimmer of life.

"What? Gege's jade pendant is really still on me?! Then it will naturally be easy to do......" When the official heard what I said, his eyes lit up.

"No, the jade pendant you found in Degege's room is indeed mine, but now I have to find a way to get myself out of this matter first, and then I can free up my hands to find the real murderer and save Xiao Shunzi. So, I need to trouble the adults to help me go to the Ninth Master's Mansion. He had a piece of jade pendant that was the same, and no one could tell the difference between the jade pendants except him. If he is willing to lend me this jade pendant for emergency relief, maybe I still have a chance to win back a city. "I confessed to him truthfully, because now that the investigation is strict, if I want to bring in such a jade pendant, I am afraid that nothing else can be done except for this person who is an official of the Criminal Department.

From my previous words and now Yinyu sent me a handwritten letter and a letter of order, he naturally knows that Yinyu's attitude towards me is not ordinary, and now he can run errands for me in person, and meet the Nine Emperors directly, I am afraid that the Nine Emperors will also remember his benefits for him to help me so hard, so naturally he will happily agree without refusing.

Without further ado, I discussed the details with him again, and asked him to go out of the house immediately with Yinyu's letter and go to Yinyu's mansion.

I got his jade pendant from Yinyu, and it was already after dinner. When Yin Yu handed the jade pendant to the official, he said: "This jade and that jade were originally a pair, but now that jade is dyed with bad luck, if the matter is over, I don't want it." Today, she is in crisis, and it is also because I trust someone else, and I have hurt her by not thinking about it, and she must blame me in her heart. From now on, I will not bother her any more, and ask her to wear this piece of jade well. Although this life can't be as perfect as I want, but this jade is with me sometimes, let her wear it by her side, just like I am by her side, the right to fulfill my heart......"

Holding the jade pendant in my hand, listening to the official talking about Yinyu's words in detail, I had mixed feelings in my heart and was silent. (To be continued.) )
