Chapter 512: The Real Murderer
Mrs. Wu really planted the blame on herself?
The more Mother Lu is familiar with Mrs. Wu's personality, the more she feels that this possibility is very high. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mother Lu was almost certain that if it weren't for Mrs. Wu, who was tricked by Lord Sun into coming to the criminal department in the name of other cases, she was caught off guard...... As long as she is given enough time to plan, there is a good chance that she will have to bear the charge of poisoning Mrs. Jiang.
Who knew that less than half a day after Mrs. Wu pleaded guilty, things turned around, and they all went back to herself!
Mother Lu's heart is in turmoil, she is not a fool, she knows that this crime cannot be generalized, the crime of Qingtan Temple can be topped, but the death of Mrs. Jiang ......
Lu Qingrong saw that she was still silent, and directly said the key:
"Mother Lu has been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, there are many truths, I don't need to say more! You have already taken the case of Qingtan Temple, is it possible that you have to admit to even poisoning Mrs. Jiang? There is a world of difference between the two! ”
"According to the laws of Daqi, no matter how many people died in Qingtan Temple, as long as the murderer paid for his life, the case would be closed. But if it poisons the women of the court...... Just count the relatives at home, they are all going to accompany you to your fate! ”
Lu Qingrong is not exactly scaring her, the difference in sentencing is real.
The panic in Lu's mother's heart was revealed, and she was a little restless. She wanted to walk up to Lu Qingrong, but her hands were still locked to the stone pillar, and she couldn't take a step closer.
Seeing this, Lu Zhu immediately blocked in front of Lu Qingrong, for fear of an emergency.
Lu Qingrong sat firmly in place, signaling that Luzhu did not need to panic, and he remained silent.
As expected, Lu's mother finally couldn't hold her breath.
"I didn't do the poisoning of Mrs. Jiang! Please also ask Mrs. Shizi to see! ”
Lu's mother chose to resist.
Lu Qingrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So much better.
If she even dares to take this charge. It's not going to be easy.
Lu Qingrong said slowly: "I just came over for the prince to ask a few words, as for the rest, since Mrs. Wu has already insisted that you did it, what can I do!" ”
Lu Qingrong put on a posture of staying out of the matter.
Lu's mother became more and more anxious, and asked rhetorically: "You said that Mrs. Wu's confession did not match the evidence, and even later retracted the confession, then I never confessed to this matter from beginning to end." How can this charge be put on my head? ”
Lu Qingrong chuckled. Unhurriedly, he said: "Mrs. Wu's confession is very important, and there is a reason for that. She has a fate, and this case is a case within a case that was found when the emperor ordered the trial of the case. Maybe the emperor attaches great importance to it, and will summon her to ask a few words! ”
"How can you compare this?" Lu Qingrong still looked indifferent, "If it is replaced by you, even if the emperor asks." At most, just look at the confession, where will you have a chance to plead! And so it goes. Did you personally confess this confession, and what does it matter if you were beaten into a confession? ”
When Lu's mother heard the end, she had to admit that Lu Qingrong's words were very likely to come true. Suddenly all that was left was despair.
Hearing a plop, Mother Lu knelt down at Lu Qingrong's side.
"Lady Shizi is merciful! Indeed, this was not done by slaves! The slave and maid of Qingtan Temple confessed, whether it was to kill or to listen to the respect. But the slave maid never poisoned Mrs. Jiang! I also hope that Mrs. Shizi will tell Shizi Ye that she should not let the whole family of slaves and maids be affected by this......"
Lu's mother's emotions were out of control. Repeating the words of plea.
She regarded Lu Qingrong as the last straw and clung to it.
Lu Qingrong saw that the time had come, so he opened his mouth to remind:
"Lord Sun is busy closing the case, Mrs. Wu is in a hurry to get out, and the matter is imminent. If Lu's mother wants to defend herself, the only way left is to confess the real murderer......"
Lu Qingrong stopped at the right time to observe Lu's mother's reaction.
I saw that she was stunned for a moment, as if she was awakened by this sentence, and she didn't dare to make up her mind.
Mother Lu was indeed afraid, so she simply expressed her concerns directly: "As long as Mrs. Wu's power still exists, even if the slave and maid avoid this time, it will still be difficult to save the lives of the whole family......"
As long as she's willing to speak, that's fine.
"What is Mrs. Wu's power now, Mother Lu, you should know better than anyone else! The Empress Dowager has moved to the West Garden to recuperate for the rest of her life, and she no longer interacts with people outside the palace, and the Anlebo Mansion has long been empty...... Now in the capital, how many people from the Wu family can still be found? As long as you confess the real culprit who poisoned Mrs. Jiang, and then return the identity of the mastermind behind the Qingtan Temple case to Mrs. Wu, do you think she will still have a chance to persecute your family? ”
"If something really happens to your family, it will also be because you have suffered from the sins of others!"
Lu Qingrong's last sentence was like a sharp knife, stabbing Lu's mother fiercely.
For many years, Lu's mother's interests have been tied to Mrs. Wu. Even when she took all the affairs of Qingtan Temple on her shoulders, there was also Mrs. Wu behind her to help her protect her family.
However, now everything is different.
The interests of her and Mrs. Wu are obviously no longer the same, and only by telling the truth regardless of Mrs. Wu can she take care of her family!
Once Lu's mother confirmed this cognition, she immediately stopped being entangled.
"I say!" Mother Lu was still kneeling on the ground, raised her head, and looked solemn, "It was the second master who added cotton roots to Mrs. Jiang'......s medicine pot."
The speculation was confirmed, but Lu Qingrong was not half happy.
"Mother Lu, don't bite indiscriminately!" Lu Qingrong reacted most reasonably, "How old was the second master at that time, how could he do such a vicious thing without even leaving any evidence?" ”
"Slaves and maids don't lie a word!" Mother Lu said anxiously, "Although I don't know what the second master thought at the time, this thing was indeed done by him, and at that time, a maid in the small kitchen saw him putting something in the medicine pot!" ”
Lu Qingrong couldn't be calm: "Since you saw it, why didn't you stop it on the spot?" ”
They thought that the second master was just playing in the past, but after carefully checking the medicine pot, they didn't find anything abnormal, so they just thought they were dazzled and didn't dare to say anything casually. This was admitted after Mrs. Wu's several inquiries......"
"Then how could Mrs. Wu react so quickly and set fire to the small kitchen that night?" Lu Qingrong asked.
"It was the second master who went back and said it himself...... The slave and maid also heard. After all, the second master is just a child, and he doesn't know how powerful it is, but he thinks it's just the same as being naughty and messing around on weekdays......"
"I don't need you to defend him!" Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his anger, "What did he say, you tell the truth!" ”
Lu's mother turned her heart sideways, no longer concealed it, and told the events of the year 1510.
