Chapter 016: Truthfully Recruited
Since she can't tell the truth, she simply carries it to the end, finds a reason that is difficult to verify, and without sufficient evidence, how can she be convicted? Li Ruxuan saw this point and said so.
But this statement once again caused a great deal of controversy in the crowd, and the whispering was still whispered, and after a brief silence, it broke out again.
"Picked up?" Aunt Cui suddenly became interested, and asked with a half-smile: "Tell me, when and where did you pick it up?" ”
"Well, let the slave maid think about it......" Li Ruxuan tilted her head, as if digging memories, and after a while, she suddenly realized: "The slave maid remembered it, it was picked up three or four days ago under the crooked neck willow tree on the side of the road outside the north wall of the Huanyi Bureau." ”
"What you said, but it's true?" The joy on Aunt Cui's face seemed to be a little more, not as spiritless as just now. At this moment, it doesn't matter whether Li Ruxuan is a thief or not, to deal with a person, today's days are still very long, and there are many ways, the most important thing at present is to block Youyou's mouth, so as not to ruin the reputation of the Huanyi Bureau.
"The slave and maid say, if there is even the slightest lie, it will be damned!" Li Ruxuan raised her finger and swore an oath. But in the bottom of my heart, there are a thousand, ten thousand fears, and I keep praying to God: "God, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother...... But don't take what you just said seriously, I can't do anything about it, just say those things casually, and your old man can just listen to them......"
The big thing turned into a small thing, Aunt Cui didn't want to stab Lou Zi after thinking about it, and made a small thing known to everyone in the palace, even if she was suspicious of Li Ruxuan's matter, she wanted to find out the reason in private, if Li Ruxuan really misbehaved, then find a reason to dispose of her. After making up her mind, Aunt Cui looked at the crowd around her, coughed lightly, saw that the people around her were quiet, and said, "Since that's the case, then ......"
Seeing that Cui Zhangshi didn't seem to mean to blame him heavily, the big stone hanging in Li Ruxuan's heart finally fell to the ground and took a heavy breath.
"Auntie, wait!" Seeing that Aunt Cui seemed to have the intention of relieving her mouth, Hongshang's plan to force Li Ruxuan to the Jedi was about to come to naught, so she naturally couldn't sit still, and spoke out to stop Cui from taking charge: "Auntie, this matter can't be counted like this!" ”
Cui Zhangshi's brows that had just stretched were twisted together again, a little annoyed by Hongshang's troubles, but he didn't want to make himself look dictatorial, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "What do you think?" ”
Hongshang was mistaken, mistakenly thinking that Cui Zhangshi was trying to let her come out, and ignoring her gloomy face, he shouted: "Ru Xuan, you just said that you picked it up under the crooked neck tree next to the road outside the north wall?" ”
"I just said it clearly, I picked it up there." Li Ruxuan's heart was pulled up again, since Hongshang dared to denounce it, and now she has spoken out to stop Cui Zhang's affairs, it must be so if you are sure, you must be in a spirit of twelve points and deal with it carefully.
"I don't know how many people come and go on that road every day, how come no one else has seen such a precious box of incense powder, but let you pick it up?" Hongshang raised her slender eyebrows and said coldly.
cursed Hongshang a thousand times, ten thousand times in his heart, but Li Ruxuan still replied with a smile: "Sister Hongshang, this incense powder is there, others didn't see it, others didn't see it, then I saw it, so I went to pick it up, that's it, it's just a coincidence, where else do you need any reason?" ”
"How can there be such a coincidence in the world?" Hongshang still didn't give up, and he was reluctant to ask.
"Sister Hongshang, everything pays attention to the word 'coincidence', there are many coincidences in the world. Just like these people here here, which one didn't happen to be selected into the palace, and which one didn't happen to enter our Huanyi Bureau, didn't we all happen to know each other? There are so many coincidences, Sister Hongsheng, tell me, what is the reason for this? Li Ruxuan's words were reasonable, but Hongshang was speechless.
But Hongshang is not a vegetarian, Li Ruxuan's words aroused the anger in her heart, and continued her questioning: "Okay, even if it's a coincidence." Then you can tell me, why didn't you hand over the things you picked up for nothing, but accepted them yourself? ”
The dispute has reached this point, but it has made Li Ruxuanle's heart bloom, this kind of formation is really like the scene when she once lived in modern times, when her uncle and aunt made things difficult for her, she tried her best to justify it. Let's not talk about it for the time being, this "finding reasons", "making excuses", and "reversing black and white" are Li Ruxuan's forte, otherwise how could she grow up safely under the harsh treatment of her uncle and aunt?
"Sister Hongsheng, when I found this box of incense powder, I could say that the box was covered with mud, and I used half of it. You know, sister, I was born poor, I haven't seen anything good, and I don't know that this incense powder is so precious. Li Ruxuan's expression was sincere, but it made onlookers believe that what she said was true.
"You ......" Hongshang didn't expect Li Ruxuan to be so sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and she was not her opponent at all, so she had to turn to Cui Zhangshi and said: "Auntie, even if this Li Ruxuan has any reason, the imperial gift appeared in the Huanyi Bureau for no reason, if you don't trace the source well, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
One sentence hit the point, Cui Zhangshi was afraid of this, and he was a little flustered for a while, and asked, "What about in your opinion?" ”
"The slave maid thinks that this Li Ruxuan can't escape the involvement, so it's better to lock her up first and interrogate her carefully, not afraid that she won't tell the truth." Hongshang is determined to put Li Ruxuan to death, so naturally he doesn't care what method he uses.
At present, Li Ruxuan can be said to be the only clue in this matter, and she can only start from her, Cui Zhangshi agreed with Hongshang's opinion, and said: "The matter of incense powder, this is the end of today, although Li Ruxuan and Hu Qiaohui can't be conclusive, but they can't escape their responsibility, they will be locked up in the firewood room for the time being, and they will be investigated separately tomorrow." With that, he glanced at the green fruits beside him.
Qingguo understood, beckoned out a few strong palace maids from the side, and led the two of them into the firewood room. Li Ruxuan's expression was calm, but her steps were calm, and she didn't forget to glare at Hongshang fiercely before leaving. It's just that Qiaohui was crying and crying, and was dragged in by the palace maids, and she was covered in dirt for no reason.
