This deliberate poisoning of concubines is a great crime that cannot be tolerated, Zhong Shagong called the pastry to poison a palace person, and the pastry was originally a pastry sent to Qin Shujiu by the Shangshi Bureau, this matter is very important Liqing was very angry, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Because at that time, the crisp cake was brought back to Zhong Sha Palace by the palace people of Zhong Sha Palace from the Shang Shi Bureau, and there were almost no people in the middle, so the palace people who made the cake were naturally the key criminals of the first trial.

As soon as this matter was thoroughly investigated, the palace people were detained for interrogation, and a small palace person didn't have the courage to think about it, so the inner servant was ordered to interrogate the main envoy behind her. It's just that the people in the palace don't know who they are working for, and they refuse to tell the truth under the repeated interrogation, only saying that everything is done by themselves, and there is no master to make others.

This can make Qin Shujiu embarrassed, if the palace people don't speak, how will her play end. When he heard the news and learned that the people in the palace just refused to make a move, Qin Shujiu decided to go to the court bureau to take a look. The court bureau is to imprison the palace people who have been punished for crimes, such a place is not an interesting place, but I didn't expect that my fair beauties would come here in person, and after seeing Qin Shu who was there in person, the attendants of the court bureau were panicked.

Who doesn't know that the prisoners currently being held in the court bureau are sinners who deliberately poisoned and murdered My Fair Beauty, and now My Fair Lady is in person at the Fair Lady Bureau, I am afraid that they will not be able to come to see it after a long trial. At that moment, the chamberlains of the court bureau were very frightened, but fortunately, Qin Shujiu was not here to trouble them, but after asking a few words, he asked them to open the interrogation cell.

The cell was opened, and the people also walked in, leaving all the attendants outside, and only brought Nanzhi into the room, Qin Shujiu ordered Nanzhi to close the door, and then looked at the palace man who was tortured. No one in the court bureau was willing to come in, because the punishment here was really cruel, and after glancing at the bundle of palace people who were hanging on the horizontal wood and being whipped all over their bodies, even Nanzhi frowned unnaturally and was not happy to take a closer look.

The frowning eyebrows were because he couldn't look at this miserable scene, but Qin Shujiu was more indifferent, but he didn't show much discomfort when he looked at it, and after some looking, Qin Shujiu walked up to the palace person and said: "You can still bear such a punishment, you are also a hard temper." ”

The voice of this opening was not the sharp interrogation of the inner attendant, but the soft voice of a woman, because it was different from the voice that echoed in his ears in the past few days, so the palace people also raised their heads, and when they saw Qin Shujiu standing in front of them, the palace people didn't react much, just smiled, and then lowered their heads. Bowing her head is just to make Qin Shujiu unable to see her face, but this person is still awake, after all, he is the one who almost took his own life, since he met Qin Shujiu, he should ask himself where he provoked her. At that moment, he turned around and took a few more steps, Qin Shujiu said, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"My Fair Lady." Although the person was tortured to the point of dying, this person was still clear and could still recognize himself in front of him. Nodding with satisfaction, Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "It seems that I haven't been beaten stupid and can still recognize me, since I can recognize it, then there is one thing, I will ask you to help solve my doubts." If you can still recognize yourself, you can prove that you can still speak clearly, so she asked with a smile.

"I want to ask, but you are guilty?"

"Nope." The breath is already a little weak, so the palace people are not very strong enough to reply. After saying this, Qin Shujiu asked again: "Then where did I provoke you to see that it didn't go well?" The palace man replied, "No." Repeatedly did not ask Qin Shujiu to accept the smile, frowned, and said, "Since there is none, why did you poison and murder me?" That poppy is a highly poisonous thing, and if she has no grudges, why would she take my life? But there is someone who instructs you? ”

The last words were a little heavy, like a question and an inducement, Qin Shujiu was inducing the palace people to tell the truth, but how could the palace people who refused to confess honestly under the punishment confess all their tricks because of Qin Shujiu's words, and immediately said: "No one instructed me, all this is what I have to do, no need to interrogate again, quickly order to kill me, quickly order." ”

This inquiry seemed to have touched the bottom line of the palace people, and the sudden irritable roar startled Qin Shujiu to take a few steps back, and it was Nan Zhi who was holding his head behind so that he did not fall down due to this person's sudden angry shout. Such a poisonous person, Nan Zhi had long looked at her unpleasantly, and now he dared to startle Qin Shujiu, which was even more hateful, he wanted to go up and give her some color, but asked Qin Shujiu to stop her. Shaking her head to signal her not to be impulsive, after the rectification, Qin Shujiu did not get angry because of this, but stepped forward again, looked at the staring person and said.

"You did it all yourself? No one else to tell you? We have no grievances, but you are going to do such a thing? It's hard for me to understand. But since you've said so, I'm going to guess for myself. Why do you think you want to poison me like this? It's because of whom. The last three words dragged on a bit long, and it was obvious that the palace people were listening. Qin Shujiu's words fell, and the palace man's emotions were obviously excited again. The bloodshot eyes widened even more gloomily, and the palace man said.

"This has nothing to do with other people, everything is done by me, it is all done by me, it has nothing to do with others, nothing to do with others." Roaring in a voice, such an overreaction said that it had nothing to do with other people, Qin Shujiu would not believe it. The palace people roared, but Qin Shujiu didn't listen to it for half a minute, just stood a little farther away so as not to splash the blood of this palace person, Qin Shujiu said.

"Then let me guess who this person is, do you think it will be this person?" With that gentle smile on his face again, Qin Shujiu stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of Nan Zhi, while Nan Zhi took out something from his sleeve and put it in Qin Shujiu's hand. Holding the thing in his hand and then squeezing it a few times in that hand, Qin Shujiu handed the thing to the palace man and said with a smile: "You have always said that this matter has nothing to do with others, but I always feel that things will not be so simple, you say that this matter has something to do with the owner of this jade pendant?" ”

What the jade pendant is, others may not be able to see it, but the palace people know it at a glance, and the palace people who didn't expect Qin Shujiu to know about this matter were frozen at this time, staring at the jade pendant with round eyes, and the palace people were speechless.

It doesn't matter if she can say anything, anyway, Qin Shujiu can say it for her, smiled and took back the jade pendant and put it in his palm, Qin Shujiu muttered: "Cai Zhen, the Praetorian Guard, the Praetorian Guard guarding this Taiming Palace." You said that this palace person had an affair with the forbidden army, what would happen if it was spread out? ”

The most taboo thing in the harem is fornication, and if the matter of such confusion in the harem is reported, Cai Zhen's life will not be saved. She refused to say anything because of Cai Zhen, and now that Cai Zhen's jade pendant has fallen into the hands of Qin Shujiu, she must have known about the two of them. If she can't save her life, forget it, but she can't let Cai Zhen lose her life with her, she can't be hard anymore at the moment, the palace people are busy begging for mercy and said: "Beauty, beauty really has nothing to do with him, beauty, you believe me, everything is done by me, it really has nothing to do with him." ”

"Is it up to you to have the final say on whether it has anything to do with him, this messing up the harem is a big crime, not to mention that the forbidden army has fornicated with the palace people, if this matter is reported to His Majesty, he knows that Cai Zhen's life will not be saved. You say that if such a thing is decided by our majesty, it will be killed with a rod? Or decapitation? Talking to her with a little thought, Qin Shujiu said thoughtfully: "But this person has a personal relationship with you, and you have hidden evil intentions to harm me, and I don't know if this person has anything to do with this matter." You said that if there is anything to do with it, wouldn't it be too cheap to just behead him, do you think I should give His Majesty a harem to reshape the harem to give a strict sentence, change the waist or Ling Chi? ”

The last two punishments were not to scare the people of this palace, Qin Shujiu really had such a plan. It doesn't matter if he suffers from it, but if Cai Zhen is implicated because of this, it is unacceptable to the palace people. The life of the person he likes can now be dragged in Qin Shujiu's hand, whether to take this person's life or not is all in Qin Shujiu's thoughts.

The words were light, but every word hit the palace people's hearts like a heavy hammer, and she was about to drive Qin Shujiu crazy. kept repeating "This has nothing to do with him", and after repeating this a few times, the palace man suddenly said: "She obviously promised, she promised to help me keep Brother Zhen, why, why?" ”

"She?" Keenly caught this sentence, Qin Shujiu's eyes suddenly darkened, and then said, "Who is she?" ”

"I can't say, I can't say, if I say Brother Zhen, I will definitely die." Shaking his head constantly, the palace people just bit it to death and refused to say, this woman who is still obsessed at a critical juncture is really unpleasant, and Qin Shujiu said in his ear at the moment: "Don't say it? Do you think you can save Cai Zhen without saying it? I tell you, impossible, absolutely impossible, since I have found him, it is impossible to let him live, if you bite to death and don't say anything, I will definitely send him down to the Yellow Spring to accompany you. The man said he wanted to help you protect him, but what? Look at it, I haven't found out clearly, she won't take your life to heart at all, Cai Zhen's life and death are grass mustard to her, she can't protect him, only I can save Cai Zhen's life. ”

Almost every word was drilled into her brain through the ears of the palace people, Qin Shujiu did not exaggerate, and now she is indeed the only one who can save Cai Zhen. She has already made it clear what is reasonable, and how to decide in the end is the matter of the palace people themselves. After saying that, he straightened his body, Qin Shujiu slightly straightened his somewhat messy dress, and then said softly: "This is a life." Not to mention, it's two lives. How to choose, I think you are also a smart person, you should understand. ”

What fell into this way was to protect Cai Zhen, but the promise given by that person could no longer be fulfilled, and he had no chance of surviving after committing such a thing.

If a woman falls in love with a man wholeheartedly, even if it is for him, she is willing, Qin Shujiu's words palace people have already listened to all of them, and they have also made decisions. Hanging his head weakly, the whole person seemed to have taken all his strength and could only hang on the torture wood by the rope, and the palace man said: "Does the beauty want to know who instructed me to poison?" Then I told the beauty, it's ......"

"You don't have to tell me, it's not me who should be recruited for these words." Before asking the palace people to instruct her, Qin Shujiu interrupted her words, just left such a sentence and then left the court.

Walking out of the torture chamber, the attendants who had been waiting outside for a long time were in a hurry. This beautiful woman is in that torture room, if she is hurt somewhere, how can they bear it, but fortunately, Qin Shujiu came out in their expectation. After coming out of the torture cell, the chamberlain greeted him and said, "Beauty, you have come out." ”

"I'm tired of Father-in-law Hong's worries." Because of himself, the servants of this court bureau were shocked and sweated, and of course Qin Shujiu had to apologize after coming out. This apology to Father-in-law Hong didn't dare to take it seriously, so he immediately bowed and said: "Where is this beauty, it's really tormenting the miscellaneous family." It's just that this court bureau is an unclean place, why did the beauty come here, and you entered the interrogation room, and you are not afraid of hurting yourself. ”

Let the harem concubines enter the interrogation room of the court bureau, if the people above know, they will not be able to escape this punishment. Of course, Qin Shujiu understood the meaning of Gonggong Hong's words, and immediately said: "It's me who is too temperamental to embarrass the fathers-in-law, but the person who is imprisoned here is the one who wants to poison me. The palace people actually wanted to poison my life, and I really couldn't help but come here to ask what happened. ”

"Beauty is humble, that's something that everyone in the palace knows, and if you think that the palace people are also instructed by others. Rest assured, Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation, and the miscellaneous family and others must have told her to tell the truth. ”

"If you have a father-in-law, you won't bother, but your father-in-law also said that the palace people were instructed by others, and it wasn't her mind to poison me, if the father-in-law was interrogated, she was a woman, and her body and bones couldn't stand it." Maybe he was a little worried about the palace people's injuries, but Qin Shujiu begged for the palace people, but he asked Gonggong Hong to listen to it a little, and said immediately.

"Beauty, you don't know, this poisonous person has hard bones, and they won't recruit them without a little heavy xing." They have seen a lot of hard-mouthed palace people, but this Qin Shujiu has already interceded, and he can't help it, so at that moment, Gonggong Hong can only nod and say: "Since it is the love of the beauty, then the miscellaneous family will also comply." Hey, beauty, you are kind-hearted, if you change the palace and don't let you fight to death, how can you come here to intercede with that sinner. He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, but he didn't see a person like Qin Shujiu, and Qin Shujiu just said with a smile.

"You have to spare people and spare people, and you have to bother your father-in-law." After finishing speaking, he thanked Gonggong Hong and Qin Shujiu before leaving the court bureau, and after walking out of the court bureau, Nanzhi asked: "Sister, do you say that the palace people will recruit?" ”

"Yes." He replied with a smile, but this should be firm, so firm that Nanzhi felt a little surprised, and asked, "How can my sister be so sure?" Qin Shujiu replied: "Because she loves Cai Zhen." Looking at Nanzhi with a smile, he turned back after a glance, and Qin Shujiu said.

"As long as a woman falls in love with a man, she gives her whole heart to him, and even if she can't save her life, she will definitely save that man. Cai Zhen, hmph, just wait, she won't let this man have an accident. He smiled slightly, and then said with a normal color after humming.

"I see." Nodding clearly, Nan Zhi was clear, of course it was good for her to understand, but there was one thing that Qin Shujiu had to confirm and asked, "By the way, are you sure you have done that important thing?" Nan Zhi immediately replied: "Of course it was done, I had already sent a message to the outside of the palace a few days ago, and all the incriminating evidence about Xu Taiwei in the eldest lady's hand, even the corrupt accounts that my sister specifically advised, were all sent to Qin Shangshu." Sister, don't worry, those embezzled silver is enough to make Your Majesty Long Yan angry, and Mrs. Xu will die. ”

"In that case, then it's good, we can also concentrate on thanking Xu Jieyu."

As he spoke, walking slowly, Qin Shujiu was already looking forward to the end of the play.
