A cow hair needle was found in the lady's quarters, and it was maliciously placed in a towel, causing irreparable damage to the innocent lady. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This kind of thing happened in the Pavilion of the Kings," Mama Gong Zheng said angrily: "It's not the first time, you all know what the situation is for the first time." Playing these conspiracies and tricks to frame others, and doing everything they can! If such a femme fatale woman doesn't find out, will she wait for her to enter the palace and harm the palace!"

"It is necessary to find out the culprit," all the Shang Gong felt sorry when they thought of the tragic situation of the lady, and said: "Punish the heavy code to set an example." ”

After a while, the aunt in charge of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau was brought in and replied, "All the use of needles and threads in the bureau is registered, and no one has violated the rules. Because of the rules, the needles were inspected very strictly, and there was no record of borrowing, and not a single needle was lost. ”

"This cow hair needle," Mama Gong Zheng showed her, and said, "Where is it generally used in the bureau?"

"It's not very common," said the housekeeper's aunt, "Or, I haven't used it for a long time, and the last time I used it, it was used to hook flowers on Concubine Li's Baizi skirt." Because those who are good at making this needle are all embroiderers from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and others can't keep their eyes on it with this needle. ”

"Since the needles are completely kept, it is not the fault of your Weaving and Dyeing Bureau," Mama Gong Zheng nodded: "The cow hair needles do not flow from you, so they can only be brought in from the outside." ”

"Several times and three times have been strictly ordered not to bring needles in," Li Shangfu said: "All clothes are damaged, they must go to the weaving and dyeing bureau to sew and repair, I didn't expect that there are still people who regard this commandment as an empty letter, it seems that the discipline of this show girl is too loose, in my opinion, this search, but anyone who is found to be carrying a prohibited thing will be expelled from the restaurant." ”

"It's long overdue. The other Shang Gong also agreed.

"It's easy to say," Mama Gong Zheng frowned and said: "Before the official election, the emperor said that he would select 200 palace people to prepare for the sweep of the court, but this time there are only more than 180 show girls left, and they are not even satisfied with the quota, and then they will be expelled from the show girls, how should they be dealt with?"

"The top priority is to find out the person who harmed people with needles first," Gong Zheng Mama said: "If other illegal things are found, they will be recorded and seen first, and then slowly adjusted." ”

So the people in the hall started a large-scale search, and before the search, the show girls gathered in the atrium to admonish them: "There are too many girls in the hall, and they can't keep people's hearts and minds, and they will be wasted." What kind of status and honor you are now, and how you are better than when you were at home? There are young and disrespectful people who use the next methods to harm others, and they don't want their lives and faces, and they have made trouble, and now it's too late to regret it. Now that something ugly has happened, everyone can't prove their innocence, so they simply search and check, so that people are suspicious, and if you don't have a ghost in your heart, don't be afraid, naturally you can't be involved. ”

Hearing this, the show girls relaxed a little. The grandmothers of Shanggong ordered the corner doors to be locked, and searched from the No. 1 room of the word "Tian", and asked me to open several boxes in the house. And this search is all in broad daylight, dragging the cabinets out in front of everyone's eyes, opening the mirrors, makeup boxes, jackets, and clothes bags together, and looking at them all the same.

This time, the inspection was obviously detailed, what undershirts, summer socks, and sleeping shoes were displayed together, and one by one, as well as the eyebrow powder, makeup powder, cinnabar, nail potion made of impatiens and alum, and a little lip grease bought from outside, all of which were shaken out and registered, of course, the things must have been confiscated, and the show girl who kept these things privately was also severely criticized, and even made a note in the evaluation booklet Shanghai.

I have to say that this situation is really scary, and it really shocked many people, even the girls who commanded the envoy family were a little unruly, they didn't dare to say a word obediently, you know, many of these girls were brought from home before, and the words that the Shang palace were not allowed to carry things were regarded as a deaf ear, and no one listened, and now they know that something is involved, and it is not so easy to avoid suspicion.

"Oh my God—" The palace maid who searched covered her mouth and exclaimed, "What is this?"

When everyone heard the sound, the palace maid held a thin jade bottle in her hand and said, "Mama, there is mercury in it!"

Mercury! This can frighten everyone, this thing can be hidden!

In fact, the understanding of mercury in ancient times is very clear, although this thing is used as a synthetic pill material, but the Taoist priest also knows that this thing must not be used more, it is very poisonous, and mercury is used as medicine in pharmacies, and must be very cautious. In pharmacies that sell mercury, the drug must be bought by the person who buys the medicine to leave his name and address, and arsenic is a treatment.

If a show girl is sick, there will be a doctor to diagnose and treat her, and the show girl will also be removed from the room and go to a special room to recuperate, and there will be a small pot of medicinal herbs in the room. Therefore, the mercury found in this search is by no means a cure, and there must be another plan.

"What are you hiding this mercury for?" asked her.

The show girl was hesitant at first, but then the female officer came up and scolded her, saying that if she didn't say anything, she would be dragged out and tortured, and the show girl said it. It is actually used to remove fox odor, there is a particularly effective method, mercury and pepper mixed with facial fat, smeared on the armpit one night, the next day there is no smell at all, she is using this method, successfully covered up the fox odor, passed the third round of reading.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but laugh lowly, and several female officials also blushed, as if they were also laughing.

"You're cheating like this," Mama Gong Zheng said: "If it weren't for the search of this scene, you would have really been fooled around!"

The poor show girl fell anyway when she was very close to success. In fact, Zhang Zhaohua is also very sympathetic to her, and the problem of fox odor is not a big deal at all in her opinion, but now it is the criterion for judging whether she can be selected. So there was no way, this show girl was still removed and expelled.

When Zhang Zhaohua's room was searched, Zhang Zhaohua took the key from his waist and opened her official suitcase.

Three or four palace maids searched for a long time, and there was nothing illegal or private, but when they were rummaging through the bottom of the box, they saw a sewing kit. I just opened it and saw that there was not a single needle and thread inside, and it was a thick black wrench.

It was a wrench instead of a needle and thread, and these palace maids almost toppled the box and didn't see the needle and thread, so they asked, "What are you doing with a wrench in the sewing kit?

"It turned out to be needle and thread here," Zhang Zhaohua said unhurriedly: "But before entering the restaurant, Mama said that I couldn't bring needle and thread in, so I threw it all away." ”

"Then why do you have a man's wrench?" the maid continued.

"I saw it in the market before," Zhang Zhaohua said, "I bought it for my little nephew, and it wasn't worth two or three cents, but then the restaurant didn't let me go out, so I didn't have time to give it to him." ”

This explanation is very reasonable, and the wrench made by the horn of this noble Qian Dahan is not gold or jade, and it is recognized as a stall by the palace maid who has never seen it. The palace maid stopped asking questions, and asked her to clean up the golden hairpins scattered on the ground by herself, and turned her head to check the Lu family's box.

Zhang Zhaohua slowly put away the things on the ground, and his heart was cold.

Half a month ago, she inexplicably received a package from the door and came back, and there was a cow hair needle inside, and she was puzzled at that time, feeling that her sister-in-law Zheng's meaning was really incomprehensible.

After that, she lay on the bed and thought about it, and suddenly remembered the true story that the guy told her when she went to the old Mendong ready-to-wear store to buy clothes. Baohuatang was sent because of an inexplicable fateful costume, and the huge store fell apart in an instant.

"It's definitely a bureau made by peers," the guy sighed: "How can it be coincidentally found on Baohuatang, if you want to check it, you should check all Qinhuai's ready-to-wear shops." It was carefully designed from beginning to end, but it was so vicious that it was about to kill people. ”

Zhang Zhaohua still remembers the endless fear in his heart when he sat up from the bed sweating profusely.
