Chapter 010: Shadows (Part II)

Yu Jiulu glanced at the short knife on the plate: "It's my knife, but since I had dinner last night, I can't find it, I thought at the time, probably lost, where did Your Majesty find it?" ”

Emperor Wei Wen got up from the dragon chair and walked in front of Yu Jiulu: "Do you know about the murder?" ”

"I know, before I came to see Your Majesty, I heard the palace maids talking about this matter all the way!"

"This short knife is on the victim's chest!" Emperor Wei Wen stared at Yu Jiulu's face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu Jiulu was calm: "Your Majesty suspects that I am a murderer?" ”

"Unless, you can prove to me that you are not a murderer!"

"Your Majesty, although my master can't prove it, there is no need to deny it, even if my master is the real murderer, with the identity of the eldest princess of Rouran, Your Majesty can't do anything to my master, right?" The maid replied.

Emperor Wei Wen was furious, picked up a short knife from the plate held by the little eunuch, and pointed it at the maid's head: "You little maid, you dare to be so arrogant!" Not only can I kill you now, but I can also kill your master. Pointing at Yu Jiulu with a short knife: "Can the eldest princess of Rouran take the lives of my Great Wei, let alone the concubines in my palace?" I'll kill you now, and I'll let your father send troops to fight you! I'm still afraid that you won't be able to do it! ”

Seeing Emperor Wei Wendi pointing a short knife at herself, Yu Jiulu was really panicked, how could she expect that Emperor Wei Wendi would become more and more disgusted with her, and two lines of tears slid across her cheeks: "Your Majesty, if I die in front of you, there is nothing to regret." But I can't die unjustly, I'm really not a murderer! ”

Emperor Wei Wen put the short knife back on the tray: "In Chang'an City, I am afraid that only you have this knife, you say that the murderer is not, how can you convince me?" ”

The maid lost the arrogance she had just now, and asked in fear: "Your Majesty, the slave has something to say." ”

"Say it!"

"As Your Majesty said, everyone knows that this short knife belongs to my master. As long as it appears at the scene of the murder, it will naturally associate with my master. In the same way, if my master committed murder, how could he leave such obvious evidence at the scene, this is obviously someone who wants to blame my master! ”

Before Emperor Wei Wen could think about it, Sister Xian couldn't help but stand up again: "Your Majesty, I ......"

Sister Hui dragged Sister Hyun back.

Emperor Wei Wendi: "Let her say, just say it!" ”

Sister Hui let go of her hand, so she had to let Sister Xian talk about it.

Sister Xian: "Your Majesty, if it were someone else, maybe he would not have left evidence of the crime. But if the murderer is the eldest princess, maybe it will be different! As you can see, the eldest princess has always relied on the protection of Rouran Khan and Otsuka Zai, and she has been unscrupulous! His Majesty also witnessed the various bad deeds of the eldest princess when she first entered Chang'an, whipping the Han uncle. Is it strange for such a savage and uncivilized person to kill people? ”

The maid refuted: "Murder must also have a motive for killing, and my master and the deceased have no grievances and hatreds." I heard my master say, on the contrary, you had a quarrel with the deceased at dinner yesterday? Isn't it, because you have a grudge against the deceased, you murdered the deceased, and then blamed my master? ”

Sister Xian was so angry that she pointed at the maid: "You, you!" ”

Sister Hui hurriedly crawled in front of Emperor Wei Wendi: "Your Majesty, although my sister is willful, she will definitely not harm people's hearts, go to Your Majesty!" ”

The maid said, "I'm just angry with her, how can she be the murderer?" Looking at her delicate and delicate appearance, her strength must not be enough! ”

Emperor Wei Wendi was very unhappy: "This is not this, that is not it, is it possible, the deceased committed suicide?" ”

Maid: "I think Your Majesty should ask who stole my master's knife instead of asking who the murderer was." ”

Emperor Wei Wendi sneered: "Okay, you witty maid, if you follow what you say, wouldn't it completely exonerate your master of the family?" ”

"It's not intentional to excuse, the slave is proven!" The maid took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and presented it with both hands: "Please take a look at Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Wei Wen picked up the square brocade and looked at it carefully: "It's just a brocade!" ”

Julie looked up and saw the Fang Jinpa, and was shocked, wasn't it her Jinpa? At dinner yesterday, Juer was afraid of getting oil on her hands, so she took it out and planned to use it to get a roast leg of lamb. The last time I used Jinpa, it should have been this morning, why was it in the hands of this maid?

Maid: "This is not an ordinary brocade handkerchief, the needlework on it is also unique in Chang'an City, right?" ”

On the brocade is a budding rain lotus embroidered by Zhuer herself, and the needlework is exquisite and delicate. In the city of Chang'an, Zhu'er's needlework is often regarded as a treasure by the officials and nobles, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

Ju'er: "Your Majesty, Jinpa is mine!" ”

Emperor Wei Wendi secretly rejoiced: "Sure enough, she is a beautiful woman with both talents and appearances!" Give the handkerchief to Ju'er: "Since it's yours, take it back!" ”

The maid was anxious: "Wait, why doesn't Your Majesty ask, where did this Jinpa come from?" ”

Only then did Emperor Wei Wen understand: "Yes, how could her Jinpa be in your hands?" ”

"This brocade was picked up by my master in the bedroom this morning, and I don't know which palace maid left it behind. Now it seems that it must be the owner of the handkerchief, who accidentally left it in the room when he stole my master's knife! ”

When the maid said these words, Yu Jiulu also looked at her suspiciously.

Emperor Wei Wendi asked Yu Jiulu: "Is it true?" ”

Yu Jiulu looked at the maid, the maid nodded at her, and Yu Jiulu also bowed: "Yes, it is true!" ”

Everyone looked at Julie in horror, and Julie was a little overwhelmed.

Emperor Wei Wendi was a little embarrassed: "This, how is this possible, but Jinpa fell into the room, how can it be proved that Ju'er stole the murder weapon?" I don't believe it's Juer! ”

The maid pressed step by step: "This is caused by Your Majesty's selfishness, when I suspected that my master was the murderer, I never saw Your Majesty hesitate at all!" It seems to be trying to force my master to death. Before my master went to bed last night, no one had ever visited, if it wasn't for the suspect sneaking in and leaving Jinpa behind when stealing the murder weapon, how could Jinpa appear in my master's bedroom? Now that the truth is revealed, why does Your Majesty hesitate? ”

Ju'er calmed down for a moment: "Your Majesty, this brocade was originally carried by me, but for some reason it fell into the hands of the maid. After dinner last night, I really didn't go to the eldest princess's bedroom, let alone steal any murder weapons while she was asleep! She also said just now that her master has no motive to kill, so why do you suspect me, how can I have a motive to kill? ”

The corners of the maid's mouth rose, and she sneered gloomily: "Hmph, Miss Dugu is really smart, and she asked the key point in one sentence." On the face of it, you really have no motive to murder the deceased. Glancing at the short knife held by the little eunuch: "But if it is connected with this murder weapon, maybe it will be clear!" Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare to say more, and the next thing, presumably Your Majesty should know it well! ”

Emperor Wei Wendi listened from the sidelines, and his hands were already trembling a little: "You mean, Zhu'er intends to blame the eldest princess?" ”

The maid kowtowed: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" If my master is here, who will be the most disadvantaged? Whoever wants to be the queen the most is most likely to want to blame my master! ”

The crowd whispered.

Emperor Wei Wendi clutched the Jinpa tightly, pacing and hesitating: "No, it's impossible!" ”

Maid: "Please Your Majesty take down the murderer and interrogate it!" ”

The eunuch, who had been silent beside him, spoke: "Your Majesty hasn't looked at the scene of the murder carefully!" ”

Emperor Wei Wen agreed: "Yes, yes, I will personally go to inspect the murder case and then make a decision!" Let's go! ”

Emperor Wei Wen walked outside the main hall, and the quasi-concubines also got up and lined up behind Emperor Wei Wendi, and the maid sighed very much.
