Since helping Tang Lin solve the child abduction case eight years ago, Zheng Dian has fallen into Tang Lone's eyes and was transferred to Dali Temple.

He was originally born in two lists of Jinshi, only because he was bereaved by his father at the beginning of his career, and he recovered after returning home, but his official luck was extremely poor, first he served in Kaifeng Mansion as a seven-grade experience, and a few years later he was transferred to the Criminal Department, but he was only promoted by half a level, but he was just a pawn. Since entering Dali Temple, he has risen all the way, and with Tang Lone's support, he has now sat on the position of Shaoqing.

At this moment, Zheng Dian was looking at the Ding Xibo couple sitting in front of him.

Dingxi Bolu has a medium fuselage, his eyebrows and eyes are quite beautiful, he wears a straight jacket with black and green bamboo leaf patterns, and wears a jade crown on his hair, which looks a little gentle; Mrs. Lu Ying of Dingxi Bo on the side is wearing a water-red tuanhua peony with brocade sleeves all over the place, a moon-white horse-faced skirt embroidered with folded branch peonies, a cloud bun in her hair, and a pagoda auspicious cloud golden silk hairpin in the middle, symmetrical on both sides/inserted/wearing a golden silk inlaid pearl distraction, which is luxurious and beautiful.

Zheng Dian and Lu Ji are both positive four products, only Lu Ji still has the title of uncle, so he sat at the top, Zheng Dian sat diagonally at the bottom of the landing plane, and the few officials were guarding the door, and there were only three of them in the whole hall, not even a subordinate.

"I came here on the orders of Lord Tang himself, and I was on official business. If there is any rudeness later, look at the uncle and Mrs. Haihan. Zheng Pawn opened his mouth first, and directly moved Tang Lin out and picked himself up.

Lu Ji knew what he meant, and said with his head bowed: "Lord Zheng is polite." ”

Zheng Dian turned to Lu Ying and asked in a harmonious voice, "I want to ask Mrs. Lu." Do you know a personal maid named Yingxiang of the late Fu Wang's third wife Fu Wang's family in Fuyuan's Mansion? ”

Lu Ying lowered her eyes and lowered her head, and her demeanor was dignified: "I don't know the concubine's body." ”

"Oh, doesn't Mrs. Lu know?" Zheng Dian's tone was very steady, "In today's court, Ying Xiang pointed out that she had met with Mrs. Lu eight years ago, and you gave her a few things with your own hands, and asked her to go to the Fu Wang clan for revenge. ”

"Is that so?" Lu Ying's face was full of astonishment, "It's really the first time I've heard of a concubine." But I don't know this Yingxiang......" She stopped at this point, as if she couldn't remember Yingxiang's name.

"Yingxiang." Zheng Dian reminded in harmony.

Lu Ying smiled. He continued: "Yes. Yingxiang, but I don't know how Yingxiang concluded that the person she saw was a concubine? And it was eight years ago, and the concubine really didn't have this impression. ”

Zheng Dian smiled good-natured and said, "Mrs. Lu is right. Eight years ago. You can't remember clearly. Only the fragrance is chiseled. described the appearance of Mrs. Lu's personal maid Qinglian again. Fang just interrogated the two people brought by his wife from her mother's house, and listened to what he said, Yingxiang did not lie. ”

Lu Ying chuckled when she heard this. said: "Qinglian's girl was indeed used in front of me eight years ago. Only at that time, I often walked around the mansions, and also went to the Pingnan Hou Mansion to attend a banquet, Yingxiang is not only a maid in the high gate, must have seen Qinglian at that time, what's so strange about this? ”

"If it's weird, it's weird here." Zheng Dian said unhurriedly: "Mrs. Lu's companion said that Qinglian was only brought up eight years ago, that is, in the tenth year of Yuanhe. Fu Wang's family only went out and walked around once in the tenth year of Yuanhe, which was the flower banquet of the Fuyuan Marquis Mansion that year. On the day of the banquet, there was no Yingxiang among the four maids around Fu Wang's side, which means that Yingxiang and Qinglian had no chance to get acquainted. The roster of the Pingnan Hou Mansion has been experienced, and this matter is true. At this point, there is a question, Ying Xiang doesn't know Qinglian, how did she know that she is the maid next to Mrs. Lu, and can she describe it in the slightest? ”

Lu Ying's expression froze slightly, and then she covered her lips with her sleeves and laughed softly: "Lord Zheng is afraid that he has forgotten one thing, when the Marquis of Fuyuan had his birthday in May, the concubine went to the mansion to attend a banquet, and I can't say that Yingxiang saw Qinglian at that time." ”

"I'm afraid that's not right." Zheng Dian's voice was still stable: "The birthday banquet of the Pingnan Hou Mansion is in the summer of May, but Qinglian only arrived at Mrs. Delu's side in late autumn in September. Mrs. Lu's two companions both said that Qinglian had been working in the needlework room before that and had no chance to go out...... That's not quite the right time. ”

Lu Ying's face changed a little suddenly.

She really couldn't remember these trivial things, but vaguely remembered that Qinglian didn't follow her for long, and she was disposed of after she finished what she had to do. Now that she was asked these questions by Zheng Dian, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back.

"Master, look ......" Lu Ying turned to Lu Ji, a pair of clear eyes were about to cry, and her expression was weak and aggrieved.

Lu Ji coughed and said in a deep voice: "It's just a maid, how can the master remember this?" Lord Zheng only cares about these details, isn't he joking with our Dingxi Mansion? A maid is used for a while early and late, what does it have to do with Fu Wang's death? ”

Zheng Dian said calmly: "Uncle is serious. It's just strange that Mingming Yingxiang and Qinglian didn't have a chance to get acquainted, how could she tell Qinglian's appearance so clearly, and she also drew a portrait. The people of your mansion called out Qinglian's name at a glance based on the portrait, so there will be this question in the next place. ”

Lu Ying lowered her head and wiped away her tears, and said aggrievedly: "Eight years ago, I can't remember the concubine's body. Taking a step back, even that Yingxiang knew Qinglian, and it could not prove that the concubine was the noble person she saw. Can you believe the words of a lowly servant? ”

Zheng Dian nodded and said, "Lord Tang also knows that the matter is big, and he won't just listen to Yingxiang's words. However, in addition to the confession, there is also evidence in that Yingxiang, which was rewarded by Mrs. Lu back then. Lord Tang then brought the evidence over. Just now, when he questioned the people in the two rooms, the people in the two rooms recognized that one of the pieces of evidence was indeed owned by the lady. At this point he stopped speaking, took something out of his sleeve, and placed it on the high table next to him.

As soon as that thing was taken out, the blood on Lu Ying's face faded in an instant.

It is a peony hairpin with a very special shape, and the hairpin is inlaid with a few eastern pearls the size of a little finger belly. However, this hairpin has been looking for some years, and the beads are no longer shiny, and the golden silk is also a little black.

"Mrs. Lu's two companions recognized it, and this thing appeared in Mrs. Lu's hands back then." Zheng Dian's voice sounded again, "I thought that this hairpin was just a little more chic, and it wasn't surprising. Later, however, a special mark was found on the hairpin, which was unique to the palace. If it is in the palace, then there must be a record to be checked. Lord Tang has already sent someone to investigate. Now I just want to ask Mrs. Lu, can this hairpin Mrs. Lu know? (To be continued.) )
