XVII Confessions
"If you go back to your lordship, the slave maid went to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the monthly rules on March 10 of this month, and when she just returned to Huayang Palace, the personnel on duty in the Internal Affairs Office can testify, and the maids and eunuchs of Huayang Palace have also seen me come back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Yuqin still has the wounds left by Qi Lin's flowing cloud palm, and her tone of voice is a little weak, but it is also clear.
Hearing this, Zhang Mo twisted his two thick eyebrows, looked at Gao Bing, and motioned for him to go to the Internal Affairs Office to investigate.
This secretary of the criminal department has been stumbling on large and small cases for many years, and he has long been accustomed to these two completely different confessions.
Although Haiping, the maid of the Ningxiang Hall in the audience, was very surprised, she remembered what the noble Wan said, "Keep calm and pay attention to details." So Master Shangshu didn't ask, she kept kneeling and kept silent.
Zhang Mo then raised his voice and said: "Manager Gao went to the Internal Affairs Office to bring people back to record, Shang Gui, Yuqin, Huayang Palace are suspected of this matter, but can anyone else prove your whereabouts?" ”
Yuqin seemed to be a little physically exhausted, and Zhang was afraid that she would faint, so he asked someone to bring a chair over and let her sit. I saw Yuqin's brows furrowed, as if she was rethinking, and after a while, she said, "Yes... As soon as the maid came back, Concubine Han asked the maid to send Mrs. Yu out of the palace, and met the father-in-law of Yuanyu on the way... The Internal Affairs Office is to the east, the Imperial Garden is to the west, dare to ask Aunt Haiping, how did you see me... In the Imperial Garden? ”
A sneer flashed on Yuqin's pale face, and in an instant, the corners of her mouth rose slightly and her eyes glanced at the arrogance and coldness, but no one present noticed that after she finished answering the words of the Criminal Department Shangshu, she threw a bomb to Haiping by the way.
At this time, Gao Bing was already standing at the door, he had always had good eyesight, and he inevitably saw this look, of course, this was also related to Qiao Yuan's instilled thoughts-this jade qin was Qiao Yuan's focus target, and he didn't go in, just stood quietly at the door, listening to their conversation.
Haiping was a little stunned, "I... I saw you earlier, and you were still wearing a jade moire hairpin! ”
"Oh? Are you talking about the hairpin that Concubine Han gave to her maidservant? The handmaid wears it every day. Aunt Haiping is really a good eye, and she observes Huayang Palace in a meticulous way. ”
This sentence seems to follow Haiping's words, but as long as you are a deep-minded person, after thinking about it carefully, you will inevitably think that a maid observes the palace maid so carefully, let alone the master, what is the use of her doing this, is it for the master behind her? What do you pay so much attention to Huayang Palace? This sudden appearance of human witnesses cast suspicious eyes and diametrically opposed confessions directly at Huayang Palace, does he really know the truth, or is he using this matter to smear Huayang Palace?
Of course, Haiping also understood Yuqin's intentions, she felt that she seemed to 'find flaws in the details' in the wrong place, and the other party's words put Wan Guiren in. She gritted her teeth, bowed to Zhang Mo on the stage, and said, "Please also ask your Excellency to be clear, even if you have 10,000 guts, the maid will not dare to make up such nonsense to slander Concubine Han!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Mo patted the table and said, "Be quiet and quiet." ”
Gao Bing walked in at the right time and asked people to hand the transcript to Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo looked at it, and in front of him, as he expected, what Yuqin said - on March 10, the monthly rules of Huayang Palace have been received, and the recipient: Yuqin, the palace maid in charge.
Zhang Mo's brain was in pain, he ordered someone to bring the witness down, and together with Gao Bing, he went back to the office area to discuss.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Mo pounded the bookcase and complained in a low voice: "It's really annoying... Ah, you say, what a... Why did the emperor ask me to take care of the of women in the harem! Why did the emperor let that Qi Lin into the palace? Why did the palace maid destroy the silk painting? Look at it, in the entire harem, just a few mothers and masters, more or less, all of them are involved, how many people do I want to offend! ”
Hearing this, Gao Bing's brows jumped, and he nodded silently in agreement. He used to be a waiter in the Criminal Department, and he worked with Zhang Mo for many years, although he didn't like Zhang Mo's somewhat inflammatory, timid work attitude, but Zhang Mo felt that women were troublesome, which coincided with him.
Zhang Mo knew Gao Bing's temperament, so he dared to chirp in front of him, and seeing that Gao Bing didn't say a word, the corners of his mouth twitched, feeling a little boring.
"Lord Zhang, that rough envoy palace maid was assassinated two days ago?" Gao Bing seemed to think of something and asked.
"Well, about three minutes after the unitary hour, it was found that she had highly toxic silver needles in her body."
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?"
Zhang Mo thought about it for a while, felt that his mind was blank, and he hurriedly opened the death report, "What's it called... What, oh, I didn't find out. The Imperial Doctor didn't know. No wonder he didn't know, his mind went blank.
Gao Bing was a little speechless, he got up, walked to Zhang Mo, picked up the report, and looked at it carefully.
I saw that it read: "The silver needle is placed in the center of the eyebrows, and the deceased's whole body is normal in color, and the internal organs are not damaged, but the pupils are purple-red." ”
Gao Bing thought to himself: What kind of weird poison is so perverted! However, Qiao Yuan should know, it seems that Qiao Yuan knows a lot of strange people and strange things, go back and ask him. However, there are a few things that need to be asked by someone first.
So, he came out vaguely: "I still have to investigate from the rough palace maid, these two witnesses have their own opinions, and they seem to be reasonable." ”
"Hehe," Zhang Mo laughed dryly, and the fat on his face was shaking. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation that night, and so far, I haven't found anything, if you want to check, check it as much as you want. "Since that's the case, then Gao Bing, you check carefully, check carefully, I'm optimistic about you."
Gao Bing nodded, and said loudly: "Master Zhang will rest for a while, and then interrogate them in the afternoon, I'll go talk to them first." ”
Zhang Mo waved his hand, signaling that Gao Bing could go, his heart was full of coke, this time Gao Bing has always been calm in doing things, and secondly, he himself saves trouble.
Gao Bing went directly to Qi Lin's cell.
After retiring the officers and soldiers of the entourage and guards, he got straight to the point: "Is there anything between you and the rough envoy palace maid that we don't know?" ”
"What do you mean?" Qi Lin was shocked, but she was still calm on the surface, and she asked softly.
"The rude palace maid died strangely, and the poison in it was also weird, and someone killed her. Now, the only person who has ever been in contact with her is you. ”
Qi Lin lowered his eyes, hiding all her expressions. She was a little hesitant, should she say, is Gao Bingwei worth believing in her?
Gao Bing said casually, "You also want to leave this palace quickly, right?" It just so happens that I also want to get this matter settled sooner. ”
Hearing this, Qi Lin said, "I believe in Qiao Yuan, so I also believe in you...... This palace maid will be an ice soul. ”
"Your Icy Villa?"
"It's not... People on the rivers and lakes should know that the martial arts of Bingyan Mountain Villa are never passed on. Those who teach others without permission are all punished by the rules of the door. ”
"Your villa...," Gao Bing rolled his eyes and said, "It's so stingy." ”
Qi Lin couldn't laugh or cry, just now he felt that Gao Bing's thinking was clear, who knows, he couldn't find the point without saying a word. "The point is, this rough palace maid, I don't know if she learned it secretly or what, she will use the Ice Soul Aya. Hey, you guys, didn't you see a piece of black silk in her sleeve? ”
