63. Tanuki for Prince (15)

In Kaifeng Mansion, the interrogation of Guo Huai was still being staged.

This interrogation has lasted from morning to evening, and both the people of Kaifeng Mansion and Guo Huai are already very tired; And today's only jury, the eighth prince, even wanted to directly bypass Lord Bao and ordered Guo Huai to be severely punished; However, Lord Bao's sentence "Under the three woods, why can't you ask for it" made the eighth prince stop the words that came to his mouth several times, and sat on the chair forcibly, listening to Lord Bao and Guo Huai fighting each other there.

In the tense atmosphere in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, no one noticed that the sky outside was suddenly so dark that it looked like ink could drip down.

"Bao Heizi," although he was forced to kneel on the ground, Guo Huai still straightened his back and made an awe-inspiring appearance: "You don't want to spew blood, the miscellaneous family still says the same thing, the miscellaneous family has never done anything, what is the crime?" The miscellaneous family is loyal, only for the emperor, and only for the queen mother, what is your intention to slander the miscellaneous family like this? ”

"Guo Huai, don't think that you can get away with denying it;" Master Bao opened his mouth and said, "You must know that even if you refuse to admit it, this government can condemn you!" ”

"Bao Heizi," Guo Huai's face was full of provocation: "If you want to convict the miscellaneous family, you have to come up with evidence?" What do you keep talking about Kou Zhu, what Yu Zhong, have the ability to call them out? ”

"This ......"

"Grandpa Guo," a cold voice suddenly came from outside: "We haven't seen each other for many years, and you are still so healthy, but the sky is really eyeless!" ”

Accompanied by the cold voice, there are gusts of yin wind, which is the coldness that emanates from the bones; In the lobby, a few candles lit because of the previous cloudy sky suddenly went out; In its place, there was a flickering green glow.

A person suddenly floated in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, a woman with a cloak and covered in blood.

"Little fish!" Zhan Zhao looked at the person who suddenly floated in surprise, and was about to step forward, but found that his body was not under his control at all; Suddenly, for no apparent reason, he couldn't move, not even make a sound.

As for the others, they all have exactly the same feelings as Zhanzhao; The only one who is better is only Master Bao; But Lord Bao's so-called better is just being able to speak.

"Who are you?" Master Bao sat there stiffly and asked strangely.

"The little woman is Kou Zhu, the palace man of Yuchen Palace back then," the woman made a standard palace salute to Lord Bao: "Today, I borrowed the adult's court to settle an unjust case more than 20 years ago." ”

"Package...... Bao Heizi, "What is surprising is that although Guo Huai is also unable to make any movements, he can make a sound. Guo Huai stammered a little: "Do you think that if you pretend to be a ghost, the miscellaneous family will be harmed...... Scared? ”

"Grandpa Guo," the woman suddenly floated close to Guo Huai, crying bitterly: "The little girl died so miserably!" The wind in the underworld is so cold! The water of the Yellow Spring is so cold! Woo......"

The woman's mournful crying voice made Guo Huai, who had always been extremely bold, a little out of his mind. He couldn't help but secretly look at the woman's feet, but he was horrified to find that the woman had no shadow.

Guo Huai's heart sank, and his face became as flickering as a ghost: "Kou Zhu is dead, he has died a long time ago, don't come here, don't come over!" ”

"Hehehehe......" The woman let out a creepy laugh: "Kou Zhu is dead, Kou Zhu is dead...... Hehehehe, she was forced to death by you, she was forced to death by your father-in-law Guo! ”

"Dead ...... If you die, go to the ...... Reincarnation," Guo Huaiqiang held up his will and said tremblingly: "You stay away, stay away......"

"It's a pity," the woman put her long, white-nailed hand on Guo Huai's shoulder, her bright red tongue fell out of her mouth, and her mouth murmured gloomily: "Lord Yama won't let the little girl be reincarnated; Grandpa Guo, what do you say should be done? ”

Guo Huai's face was as frightened as a blank piece of paper, his lips kept trembling, but he couldn't say a word, and he could only feel the cold breath of the woman in his ears.

"Father-in-law Guo......" The woman stretched her long nails into Guo Huai's eyes: "Father-in-law Guo, the slave is so cold!" ”

"Kou Zhu," Master Bao opened his mouth to call the woman, "If you have any grievances, you might as well talk to this mansion to see if this mansion can help you clear your grievances." ”

"No," the woman shook her head, her face covered in blood, "no one can wash away the grievances of the slaves!" ”

"You might as well tell me about it!"

"...... more than twenty years ago"

Gongsun Ce, who was sitting at the desk to record, was even more horrified to find that the pen in front of him stood up by itself, and automatically and spontaneously recorded what the woman said.

"The slave maid is waiting for Concubine Li in Yuchen Palace; Concubine Li is kind and treats the minions very well. Later, when the mother became pregnant, the minions were naturally very happy. Conceived in October and delivered in one day. That night, Niangniang gave birth to the little prince......"

"But ......" The woman suddenly approached Guo Huai and pinched Guo Huai's neck with her cold hand.

"No," Master Bao hurriedly dissuaded: "Kou Gong people, absolutely not." ”

"This ruthless minion," the woman didn't care about Lord Bao's dissuasion: "He bought the midwife You Shi and sent a skinned tanuki into the palace, insisting that the mother gave birth to a demon ......"

Before Guo Huai, who was thrown to the ground, could catch his breath, he felt blood flowing down his forehead, flowing through his eyes, and his eyes were blurred. Suddenly, Guo Huai was horrified to find that a skinned raccoon cat was hanging in front of his eyes, shaking and shaking, making people want to vomit.

"Originally," the woman continued, "the slave maid wanted to go in front of the emperor to cry out for the mother; However, I didn't expect that Guo Huai would threaten the slave with the life of the slave's only brother, if the slave and the maid told the matter, they would take the life of the slave's younger brother. ”

Hearing the woman crying again, Master Bao said with concern: "Kou Gong people, don't cry first, what happened later?" ”

"For the sake of my younger brother, who has been dependent on each other since childhood, the slave and maid cannot go to sue;" There were bloody tears on the woman's face: "But Guo Huai still refuses to let go of the slave and maid......"

"What did he do?"

"He actually asked the slave maid to take the little prince to the silk gold pavilion and strangle him," the woman trembled: "He actually asked the slave maid to strangle the emperor's blood; But the slave can't bear it, the little prince is so small and so cute, how can the slave and the maid bear to strangle him......"

"Later," Lord Bao looked at the only warmth that appeared on the woman's face, and couldn't help but say for her: "You handed over the little prince to Chen Lin Chen's father-in-law, and asked him to send it to the Nanqing Palace and hand it over to the eighth prince?" ”

"Yes," the woman nodded: "Chen Lin is an upright person, and the eighth prince is a well-known virtuous king." It happened that Chen Lin was going to the eighth prince to send the royal gift of melons and fruits, so the slave maid handed over the little prince to Chen Lin and let Chen Lin send him to the Nanqing Palace. ”

Hearing that the woman's words were completely consistent with Chen Lin's testimony, Master Bao nodded and motioned for the woman to continue.

"The emperor remembers the kindness of the past," the woman continued, "and demote the mother to the cold palace; The slave maid was also transferred to Jinhua Palace. ”

"For a few years," the woman's face was full of blood and tears when she mentioned the old thing: "The slave maid was doing the work of sweeping and sprinkling in Jinhua Palace, and endured Guo Huai's intimidation and scolding from time to time; If it weren't for the little prince and his younger brother, the slave would have been unable to live a long time ago. ”

"And then?"

"Later," the woman said happily, "Concubine Liu has evil retribution, and her child is dead." Haha, her plan with Guo Huai turned out to be a ...... Haha......"

The woman's long nails clasped Guo Huai's shoulders fiercely, and her face was full of malice: "Father-in-law Guo, do you think this is retribution?" ”

"Miscellaneous families don't know, miscellaneous families don't know ......"

"Kou Gong people," Master Bao hurriedly stopped the woman: "You go on." ”

"Unexpectedly," the woman let go of Guo Huai: "This has become an opportunity for the little prince to enter the palace." No one knows how happy the slave and maid were when they learned that the little prince had entered the palace......"

"But, he ......" The woman suddenly pointed at Guo Huai and said angrily: "He and Concubine Liu later suspected that the little prince was the boy back then, and they tortured the slave maid ......"

"Father-in-law Guo," the woman suddenly took Guo Huai's hand and said in a wailing voice: "You pulled out the slave's nails, the slave's hand hurts so much!" ”

The woman's mournful voice made everyone present feel extremely sad, as if their nails had been peeled off alive; Especially Zhan Zhao, looking at the blood flowing from the woman's fingertips, he even felt very difficult to breathe: this time, he watched Yu Xiaoyu injured in front of his eyes, and it was the first time he felt that he was so useless......

"Grandpa Guo," the woman slammed Guo Huai's hand to the ground, and everyone heard the sound of the wrist being broken: "The slave's nails have grown out again, have you seen it?" ”

Guo Huai's wrist was broken raw, and he broke out in a cold sweat in pain, trembling constantly, and couldn't say anything at all.

"Father-in-law Guo, the slave's body hurts so much." The woman suddenly cried and said, "Cold salt water is splashed on the body, it hurts, and the whip hits the body, it really hurts; It really hurts......"

Guo Huai suddenly screamed "ah", and blood marks appeared on his body out of thin air, which were very similar to the traces caused by whipping; The woman's body had begun to seep blood, blood stained her clothes red, and there was a strong smell of blood in the lobby.

"The slave and maid really can't stand it," the woman suddenly shouted bitterly: "I can't stand it, the slave and maid don't live anymore, don't live anymore......"

Looking at the blood flowing from the woman's forehead, everyone seemed to feel the tragedy of the woman's death by hitting the monument at that time.

"Father-in-law Guo," the woman cried bitterly in Guo Huai's ear: "The slave died so miserably!" ”

The terrible screams, the pain on his body like a whip, and especially the gloomy feeling on the woman's body made Guo Huai feel devastated: "Kou Zhu, you let go of the miscellaneous family, let go of the miscellaneous family." Lord Bao, Lord Bao, hurry up and let the miscellaneous family stay away......"

"Father-in-law Guo," the woman grabbed Guo Huai's shoulders tightly, and her long nails had been buckled into Guo Huai's flesh: "The slaves and maids are dead, why do you still wronged the slaves and maids for stealing things......"

"Master Bao," Guo Huai finally couldn't support it anymore: "The miscellaneous family pleads guilty, and the miscellaneous family will sue you for everything; You let her let go of the miscellaneous family, let her let go of the miscellaneous family......"

Hearing that Guo Huai was finally willing to confess, although everyone couldn't move yet, they were all relieved.

"Kou Gong people," Master Bao tried to stop Kou Zhu, who was covered in blood: "You let go of Guo Huai first." ”

"Father-in-law Guo," the woman didn't seem to hear Master Bao's voice, but just grabbed Guo Huai's shoulders tightly, and the cold breath kept blowing on Guo Huai's face: "The slave is so miserable, the slave didn't steal anything......"

"Kou Gong people," Master Bao continued, "you listen to the words of this mansion, you let go of that Guo Huai for the time being, and listen to him confess his guilt; If there's something he says that isn't right, how about you add it? In this way, your grievances can be regarded as real snow. ”

The woman seemed to have listened to Master Bao's words, and slightly relaxed her grip on Guo Huai, but she still didn't completely let go of him; In order to escape from the woman's mouth, Guo Huai directly admitted all his crimes.

Guo Huai fully admitted that the tanuki was replaced by the prince, and everyone was really relieved. When Master Bao was about to say something, a huge lightning bolt pierced the sky, and the heavy rain that had been brewing all day finally came down; The lobby of Kaifeng Mansion was bright again, and in the middle of the lobby, Guo Huai was lying on the ground in fear, and a familiar figure slowly fell to the ground.
