On this day, Moyu had breakfast. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info wanted to study it carefully, how to make a rose cake and lotus cake, after all, it is boring to be idle. I didn't want to, but Liu Chenxuan's voice came from outside.

Xiang Rong led people in, Mo Yu pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Lord Liu, please sit down!" ”

Liu Chenxuan bowed and said, "Concubine Li, the minister will not sit." Please take a trip to Changde Palace, the Queen Mother and the emperor are also there. ”

"But what progress has been made in the case?"

"Concubine Li's mother will know when she goes."

Mo Yu got up, asked Xiang Rong to take the cloak over, and followed Liu Chenxuan out of the Jade Immortal Palace. On the way, Mo Yu asked, "Can Lord Liu believe that I am the murderer?" ”

Liu Chenxuan said as he walked: "This, the minister is not easy to say, the minister only believes in the evidence." ”

"Can you tell me what you've found these days?"

"This, please forgive the mother, the minister has nothing to say."

Love to say it or not, she doesn't really want to know, anyway, he found out, and Yetian almost told her a rough idea. Liu Chenxuan has nothing to say, can't she let Yetian steal it!

Entering the Changde Palace, the Queen Mother and the Emperor's Luan Jia had already been placed in the middle of the compound, Concubine Shu, Concubine De were on the side, and even Ji Gangyang came. Mo Yu stepped forward to salute, and then stood in the middle, waiting for them to question. Is this posture a torture hall and a public trial?

Liu Chenxuan stepped forward and asked, "Queen Mother, Emperor, can you start?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Let's start!" ”

"Yes." Then, he turned around, stood facing Mo Yu, and said, "Concubine Li, on the tenth day of the first month of this month, when the early hours of the morning are ugly, but when will you return to the palace?" ”

"Yes. But because I was not in good spirits at the time, I don't remember when it was ugly. The guards guarding the Nangong and President Yulin Junyun can testify for me. This is what she asked Yun Changfeng later, she was not in good spirits that day, and she didn't know how she returned to the palace at all.

"Why are you in bad spirits?"

"I've answered this question before, I don't want to explain, if you have to know, you can ask Lord Ji. And, I don't think, my mental state is not relevant to this case. ”

Yun Changfeng on the side took the initiative to say: "Yes, the minister patrolled that night and did meet Concubine Li, she was in a very bad spirit at that time, and the minister was afraid that something would happen to her, so he escorted her all the way back to the Jade Immortal Palace." "Niangniang mentioned before that he couldn't tell the emperor about it, so he didn't mention the emperor.

"And then, you're gone, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Regarding why Concubine Li was not in good spirits, Liu Chenxuan went to ask Ji Gangyang, Ji Gangyang was just stumbling for a long time, and only said that he didn't know what was going on, and even when Concubine Li left Jifu and returned to the palace, he didn't know, and he was clean. "Okay, then may I ask Concubine Li, where did you go after you returned to the palace?"

"After Commander Yun sent me back to the Jade Immortal Palace, I stayed in the palace until noon, and I didn't wake up. Everyone in the Jade Immortal Palace can testify. ”

"I'm afraid that's not the case, but some people in the Changde Hall said that when they were in Yinshi, they had seen Concubine Li Niangniang appear in the corridor of the Changde Palace."

Mo Yu's heart "groaned", how could anyone see her, what that person saw must be a ghost. I saw a little palace maid being called out, and the little palace maid knelt on the ground and said, "Slave Afan, I have seen the queen mother and the emperor." ”

Liu Chenxuan said to Ah Fan: "Miss Ah Fan is Concubine Ning's intimate palace maid. Girl, tell me in detail what you saw that night. ”

"Yes. In the second half of the night, there was a heavy snowfall, and I was worried that there might be windows in the mother's room that were not closed properly, and I was afraid that the mother would blow the cold wind and catch the cold, so I got up and went to the mother's room to check, and closed the doors and windows before leaving. When she came out, she vaguely saw a figure flashing under the porch, and the slave only remembered that she seemed to see a piece of turquoise skirt, but when she looked closely, she was gone. At that time, the slave and maid thought that the slave and maid were too sleepy and had hallucinations. Unexpectedly, the next day, Niangniang had an accident. ”

Even knew what clothes she was wearing that night, and this should be from her palace, so she was immediately driven away. Mo Yu sneered at the corner of her mouth and said, "Dare to ask this girl, are you sure that what you see is indeed a turquoise skirt?" I remember that after I returned to the palace, I changed my clothes, and that night the wind and snow were very strong, and my clothes were wet, so I changed into white clothes. I deliberately chose a white dress, white snow and white clothes, blended together, the girl can still see clearly, it is really sharp-eyed. ”

When the little palace maid heard this, she immediately changed: "At that time, the night was too dark, and the slave maid couldn't see clearly, and it might be white." ”

"Girl, you have to think about it, whether it is turquoise or white, this is very important to me, it is a matter of life and death!"

The little girl thought for a long time, and finally shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know, but the slave and the maid are sure to see it." ”

This little girl is not too stupid, it doesn't matter whether it's turquoise or white, seeing talent is the point. Mo Yu asked again: "How can the girl be sure that it is Yin Shi?" ”

"Because at that time, there happened to be a palace person who was on duty, and the slave maid was sure that there was nothing wrong."

"Does that girl remember which window you closed?"

The Queen Mother was a little impatient, and said lightly: "Is it important which window is closed?" ”

Mo Yu lowered his head and said, "In the process of judging the case, you can't let go of the slightest evidence. Some seemingly unrelated evidence may be the crux of the case. ”

"The mourning family sees that you have nothing to do."

Mo Yu smiled lightly, "What the Queen Mother taught her is that concubines don't know the law of punishment and don't know how to judge cases. Lord Liu is proficient in this technique, and the concubine listens to Lord Liu. ”

The Queen Mother turned her questioning gaze to Liu Chenxuan and asked, "Lord Liu, can you agree with Concubine Li's opinion?" ”

The minister agreed that the verdict of the case is based on evidence, so as long as there is the slightest evidence related to the case, it must not be let go. Since Concubine Li has questions, the minister should answer. The minister did go to check the window, and if Concubine Li wanted to see it, she could go in with the minister to see what was going on. ”

Mo Yu did not shirk, and followed Liu Chenxuan into the hall, only when he entered, he would not be able to speak later.

The window that Ah Fan said was a window in front of Concubine Ning's dresser in the room, and Mo Yu pushed it open to see the garden outside the window. The scenery is good, but unfortunately there are a lot of ant corpses on the window edge.

On a snowy day, when animals are either dead or hibernating, how can there be ants crawling up? And the body must have just died. Mo Yu reached out and wiped it, took it to his nose and sniffed it gently, and knew silently in his heart, it turned out to be like this.

"How can there be so many dead ants! Concubine Li, what did you find? ”

Mo Yu turned around and said to Liu Chenxuan, "It's hard to say. Lord Yanagi, can I take a look behind this window? ”

Liu Chenxuan thought for a while, and said to Ah Fan in the distance: "Please ask the girl to lead the way." ”

Coming to the garden, Mo Yu found a steep slope, from which he could clearly see all the scenes in the house. In other words, any movement in the house can be seen clearly from here. Liu Chenxuan was curious: "What does Niangniang see here, and there is nothing here?" ”

"It's not that there's nothing, there was something originally, but unfortunately it snowed that night, and everything was washed away." There should be human footprints here, but alas, it is covered with snow.

"What's that?"

Mo Yu raised his head, looked at Ah Fan behind Liu Chenxuan, and answered the question. "Do you believe that I am not a murderer?"

"The minister still says the same thing, the minister only believes in the evidence."

"I still say the same thing, don't be preconceived, otherwise you will be led by the nose by others."

Liu Chenxuan seemed to be a little angry, and said: "There are a lot of cases that Jingchen has handled, and the minister is not such a foolish person. ”

Mo Yu smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked back to the courtyard on foot, not hungry for Liu Chenxuan to continue asking.

Liu Chenxuan continued to ask: "Niangniang has been poisoned by the mandala before, and she has also studied poison art a little. The minister wants to ask Niangniang, what are the symptoms of the mandala poisoner? ”

"Dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, dry and flushed skin, fever, dizziness. If the amount of poison is large, it can make people's hearts beat faster, headache, and have convulsions, coma and death. ”

Concubine De on the side said nonchalantly, "Concubine Li is so proficient in poison, she must have controlled the amount of poison very well." ”

Mo Yu was silent, and sometimes it was not a good thing to explain too much. Liu Chenxuan said softly: "Niangniang does have some research on medical skills, and it is no different from what the imperial doctor said. Do you know who caused the mandala poison on your body? ”

"I don't know."

"Why didn't Niangniang tell the emperor?"

"The emperor knows, so I asked my palace maid Tian'er to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to get medicine, so it went so smoothly."

"Then Niangniang, is there a mandala poison in your palace?"

"Nope."

She is a poisoner, not a poisoner, how could the poison stay in her palace? Liu Chenxuan took a step forward, bowed to the emperor and said, "As for the misunderstanding between Niangniang and Concubine Ning, the minister has already learned from the emperor about the situation at that time, and there is nothing wrong with it. Later, the minister asked some palace maids in the Jade Immortal Palace and Changde Palace, but they didn't say that there was any conflict between Niangniang and Concubine Ning. ”

So what's going on in this case? Mo Yu asked, "Lord Liu, can you elaborate on this case?" ”

"Don't worry, there are still things that haven't been delivered? Before that, I would like to ask Miss Fan again, did you prepare the tea that Niangniang drinks every night? ”

"Yes."

"Do you still remember, on the night of Concubine Ning's accident, what kind of tea, what teapot, what teacup did you prepare?"

"The tea that night was prepared by the slave maid, and the mother liked to drink Maojian, so the slave and maid made a pot of Maojian. It is a set of white plum ring white porcelain cups with bright red plum blossoms on them. ”

Liu Chenxuan was about to reply, when someone came in from outside the courtyard, walked to the middle of the courtyard, bowed down and said, "My lord, the person has found it, and the things have been brought here." ”

"Well, it's hard work Liu Sheng. You stand by and wait. ”

Mo Yu looked at the things brought by the person who came in, Mo Yu's heart sank, and a bad premonition was born from his heart. But what can be done? Soldiers come to the strong stalls, and the water comes to cover the earth!

Liu Chenxuan stepped forward and said: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Ning died of poisoning, and when the minister was investigating the scene, he found that there was something missing in the house. It is the teapot and teacup that should be placed on the table, I think, Concubine Ning should have gotten up in the middle of the night to drink tea, but unexpectedly drank the poisonous tea that the murderer deliberately placed on the table. After Concubine Ning was poisoned, the murderer took away the teacup and teapot again. So, the evidence disappeared. ”

The Queen Mother asked, "Then where is this teacup and teapot now?" ”

"Liu Sheng."

The person named Liu Sheng stepped forward, it was the person who walked into the hall just now, and he saw that he was holding an object in his hand, and said, "The teapot and teacup are here, and they were found from the Jade Immortal Palace." ”

Coax...... There was a noise in the courtyard, and they all looked at Mo Yu with surprised and frightened eyes. Mo Yu didn't feel anything, and calmly listened to the other people's discussions.

The teapot and teacup in Liu Sheng's hand, just like the plum ring white porcelain cup that Fan said just now, on the white teacup, there are many red plums blooming charmingly, which is pleasing to the eye.

Liu Chenxuan turned to look at Concubine Li opposite, and said, "Concubine Li, what explanation do you have?" ”

Mo Yu smiled and said coldly: "There is no explanation, but I have a few questions I want to ask this Liu Sheng Gongzi, is it okay?" ”

"Niangniang just ask?"

"May I ask Liu Gongzi, when did you find this thing in my palace?"

"Just now, after Niangniang walked out of the Jade Immortal Palace. The slave followed the instructions of the adults and went to search the Jade Immortal Palace. ”

Okay, you Liu Chenxuan, you actually came to tune the tiger away from the mountain. "Oh, where did you find it?"

"In ...... Under the mother's bed. ”

"Haha, I don't know if Lord Liu knows that when the mandala poison encounters fire, it will volatilize poison, which can cause people hallucinations in light and kill people in the worst case. The candles in the Jade Immortal Hall are lit up every night, and this thing is placed under my bed for a few days, and I am still alive, which is really lucky. If I kill someone, I will put this evidence there as it is, and I have nothing to do with taking it back to my palace, there is no silver here, and I am so stupid? ”

Concubine De said lukewarmly, "Concubine Li is very handy with these things. ”

Mo Yu didn't pay attention to it either, and continued to ask: "May I ask Lord Liu, since this thing was found under my bed, where did I get this poison from?" ”

This is exactly what the minister is going to say next. Liu Sheng, bring people up. ”

After Liu Chenxuan finished speaking, two people walked in, everyone was dressed differently, and at a glance, he knew that it was not from the palace, Mo Yu thought about it, and probably guessed a few points.

Liu Chenxuan walked up to Mo Yu, pointed to the two people standing in front of him, and said, "Niangniang, do you know them?" ”

"I don't know."

Liu Chenxuan pointed to the three people standing in front of him, and pointed to the person on the far left of Moyu: "This is He Sheng, the sitting lady of the Jishi Pharmacy in the west of the city." The one in the middle is a little guy in the Jifu Mansion, called Agui. He Sheng, tell me about it! ”

The man named He Sheng bowed his head and said, "Adult, the little one is called He Sheng, and he is the sitting doctor of the Jishi Pharmacy." On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, a man came to our pharmacy and wanted to buy a mandala, because this medicine is relatively special, so the small one asked what this medicine was used for, but the man said that he only needed to give it, and he didn't need to know so much, and he also warned the small one not to talk about it to outsiders. ”

"Look, there's the guy you're talking about?"

He Sheng looked at the people beside him, pointed, and said, "Just ...... That's him. ”

"Agui, in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, if you dare to give false testimony, you will be punished."

"The small, the little knows. On the ninth day of the new year, the two mothers went home to save their relatives. About a time ago, Concubine Li found the little one, saying that she asked the little one to buy some mandala back, and gave the little one ten taels of silver, and the little one didn't know what the mandala was, so she didn't ask, and the mother also said that she was not allowed to tell others about it. ”

The words have been said here, all the human and physical evidence has been completed, and everything points to Mo Yu as the murderer. The Queen Mother was so angry that she patted the handle of the chair and said, "Bold Concubine Li, what else do you have to say, come on, take it." ”

A team of guards ran in and was about to grab Moyu, but the emperor said anxiously: "Stop, Moyu is by no means a murderer." ”
