Chapter 216: Interrogation
"Princess, the slave maid did take the painting here, and then went out to serve the ladies," Qingmei also said that it was not good, "How can I come back and disappear, fortunately, the slave and maid ......"
Su Yingtong grabbed Qingmei's hand, and Qingmei stopped.
She looked at the princess and wondered what the princess meant.
Su Yingtong shook her head at her, signaling her not to speak loudly, she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you remember clearly, is it placed here?" ”
Qingmei only knew what the princess meant, and she also lowered her voice, "Princess, the painting in this is the one you have modified and feel dissatisfied, but the slave maid looks really good-looking, and she is reluctant to throw it away, so she puts it in it, and the slave also knows that the princess's painting is to be dedicated to the birthday gift of the queen mother's 60th birthday, so she doesn't dare to place it at will, and has asked Ye Guards to put it in the prince's study......"
Hearing that her sketch was still safe, Su Yingtong breathed a sigh of relief, she calmed down and thought about it carefully.
Qingmei knew what the princess was thinking, and her hand holding the box was already white, how could the painting disappear for no reason, the only explanation was that the people in their yard did their hands and feet!
Qingmei dared to feel fear, it turns out that people's hearts are really the most unpredictable! She had always thought that at least the people in the main courtyard were loyal to the princess, and there were no slaves under her control, but now that such a thing happened, they didn't even notice it before!
Who the hell can do such a wolf-hearted thing, and dare to attack the main house!
Su Yingtong suddenly waved the box in Qingmei's hand to the ground, Qingmei was startled, and before she could react, Su Yingtong pointed at Qingmei and said sharply: "It's unforgivable that such a thing can still happen in the main courtyard, I limit you to find out within three days!" ”
Qingmei knelt down as soon as her legs were weak, "It's the slave who can't control people, and the princess is angry!" ”
Su Yingtong walked out of the room in a few steps, "Let everyone in the main courtyard gather in the courtyard!" ”
Qingmei followed out of the room, but in a few minutes, everyone gathered in the open space, most of them didn't know what was going on, and the few people who heard the princess's scolding in the room also guessed a few points, and the atmosphere became tense, and the timid people couldn't help but tremble their legs.
Su Yingtong stood on the steps, her calm face and sharp eyes swept over everyone, with a momentum that could not be ignored, and the people below did not dare to raise their heads.
After being quiet for a long time, Su Yingtong said: "This concubine admits that she has never treated you badly, but what is happening now is really chilling, and there are things that can be lost in the main courtyard, and now I make it clear that who did it stood up and confessed, I drove you out of the house, if I let me find out by myself, no matter who it is, I will be killed on the spot!" ”
The stern voice sounded in the quiet courtyard, and the hearts of the people under them seemed to have been hit by a boulder, and the timid people had already knelt down.
Su Yingtong swept the audience, all of them looked scared, but no one stood up.
It's also to be expected.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I've already given me the opportunity, since I don't know what to do, no wonder I'm ruthless, Qingmei." ”
"The slave is here."
"Let Manager Lin take someone to search the house, and Guard Ye can be in the house?"
"Yes."
"Ye Guards have been by the prince's side for many years, not to mention ordinary minions, even the spies of the enemy country can ask things out of his mouth, and tens of thousands of spies in the Wuling Army have nothing to hide, so they will be handed over to Ye Guards for interrogation one by one, I believe there will be some results."
Qingmei responded, and took all the people out of the outer courtyard for Ye Guards to interrogate.
Manager Lin was also very angry when he heard that something was missing from the main courtyard, the people in the palace were all recruited by him, and he hadn't bought slaves for a long time in recent years, these people actually did such a thing, didn't they slap him in the face?
took the family to carefully search the room, but found nothing.
When he arrived in front of Su Yingtong, his face was full of shame, "Ask the princess to give the slave more time." ”
Su Yingtong took a sip of tea, a painting is not something else, it is dissolved in water and poured into any corner and buried with soil, it is a needle in a haystack, and she also expected that she would not be able to find anything, "No need, you guys go out." ”
Manager Lin's cold sweat flowed down, "Slave ......"
"Get out."
Manager Lin didn't dare to linger any longer, and took someone out of the main courtyard, and Su Yingtong asked Qingmei, "Is there any news from the outer courtyard?" ”
Qingmei shook her head, "Guard Ye can't ask anything, many people are afraid that they will be wronged, and it is difficult to observe." "Guard Ye has always been difficult to deal with those servants.
Su Yingtong calmed down.
The man stole the painting instead of the property, and should have known the importance of the painting to her, and not too many people knew about her sketching, so several people around her were the first to be suspected.
She was so angry in front of her subordinates just now, but she just wanted to use this incident to warn everyone, she is usually easy to speak, but she doesn't allow anyone who is blind and dares to offend her, and can't do her duty to move her mind to crooked thoughts, some are examples.
Think about it carefully, in addition to Qingmei, the people who can enter and leave her room are also Xing'er, Ning'er, and Nobuko.
Xing'er has always worked hard, and she doesn't know how to say a lot of compliments in front of her, but it's a real thing; Ning'er can speak, and she is not afraid of her, and sometimes she will take the initiative to come to her to get some work, and she is a person who knows how to look at her face; Nobuko is only thirteen years old, and he doesn't know who he is, he just knows that he will do it when he lives together, and he won't even think too much of other shortcuts in doing things, so he shouldn't be able to do such a thing.
These three people were following her in the Selangor Courtyard, and no matter which one of them they were, Su Yingtong felt sad.
But she will never be relentless.
"Qingmei, it's been business as usual these days, but Xing'er, Ning'er, and Xinzi, these three should pay special attention, if you can do such a thing, there will be a follow-up."
"Yes, Princess."
"Their details should also be confirmed by Chief Manager Lin, although it has been a long time to enter the mansion, but they can't be negligent in taking precautions." In the past, she could ignore this point if she was fine, but now that someone dares to move her mind, she can't let go of any of them.
Su Yingtong leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers, this incident was also a blow to her, she never imagined that there would be such a person around her, thinking about it makes people's backs chill, she is not afraid of opponents in the light, but afraid of cold arrows in the dark, that is the most terrifying.
Qingmei rarely saw the princess so tired, she also knew that the princess was uncomfortable, she gently pressed the princess's temples, "The princess also relaxes, those who have no heart and lungs are not worthy of your attention to the princess." ”
Su Yingtong sighed, "Qingmei, you have to pay attention to it, and you know that you will receive the painting to the prince's study." "Qingmei really helped a lot this time.
"The slave is the person next to the princess, and she must be thoughtful in everything." (To be continued.) )
