428 Forced questioning
Here in Changxuan, the emperor has already finished eating two teas.
Dali Temple Zhengqing checked the peony field and went to the octagonal pavilion, it is said that he sent someone to Biling Palace to get clues, and now dozens of people in a room are standing and sitting all here.
Shen Yan looked at Song Ping, the other party was completely wilted, and the daughters of the Song family all looked at her with resentment.
After all, if this kind of deed is done, no one will say anything, but once it fails, it will become unforgivable and implicate the family.
Shen Yan was not very worried from the beginning, and he was even more calm at this time. She was completely sure that as long as the people from Dali Temple came back from the investigation, the consequences that Song Ping originally wanted to inflict on her and the Shen family would be borne by her and Song Huan. As for whether she splashed this chili water, let's wait for the results to come out.
"Song Huan is here." Mrs. Hua suddenly patted her on the shoulder and pointed down the stone steps.
Shen Yan looked over and saw that Song Huan was really sweating profusely and hurriedly climbed up the slope.
Go up to Changxuan, first go to meet the emperor and empress, and the emperor said: "You step down first." ”
Song Huan had to retreat, standing on the side of the male minister on the left side of the screen, and looked at Shen Guanyu, who was not far away, and only got an unpredictable glance from Shen Guanyu.
Shen Guanyu drove here with him, and he didn't talk to Shen Yan, nor did he say anything in the position of a bitter lord with righteous indignation. This is his usual style, never ostentatious, but few people can bargain from him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhengqing Bu of Dali Temple is back."
At this time, Cheng Wei hurriedly came up, and saw that Bu Xingzhe, the Qing of Dali Temple, and his party came to the door.
The sound of broken words on all sides suddenly fell silent. The emperor and empress also immediately put down the tea in their hands.
"What's the result?"
Bu Xingzhe took out a stack of blank paper with invisible contents and said: "Back to the emperor, back to the queen's mother, the ministers led their subordinates to investigate the three places and found the following clues:
"First of all, the footprints that appeared near the peony flower field matched the size and shape of the shoes worn by the maid next to Miss Song, and then on the clothes of the maid of the Song family, traces of sap were also found to be stained with the juice of flowers, trees, grasses, and leaves. At the same time, he looked panicked when answering questions, and his preface did not match the afterword. Third, the time when Miss Song took the maid out of Muxiang Pavilion for a walk was only half a moment away from the time when Miss Shen went out.
From this, Weichen judged that the person who stepped on the peony field was Miss Song's maid.
At the beginning of Song Ping's actions, where would he have thought that such a trivial matter would alarm Dali Temple and make the emperor personally intervene? Would you think that when she was only going to destroy a few flowers to plant Shen Yan, there were still people secretly pouring chili water on Shen Yan? And at the same time, there are still people secretly breaking into the cold palace?
What kind of place is the cold palace. Who is it for? How did the people live in it, she didn't know the reason!
Their family has been transferred out of the General Administration Department with Song Huan, and if they are contaminated with the crime of deliberate murder again, where will they turn over!
Sweat poured down from the corners of her forehead. As soon as his knees weakened, he knelt down on the ground.
"Then the matter of the secret attack on Miss Shen's family. How's it going? The Emperor asked with anger in his temper. Although he said it to Bu Xingzhe, his eyes were glaring at Song Huan.
Song Huan hooked his head and leaned over, and he had already begun to tremble slightly.
Bu Xingzhe replied: "The ministers and subordinates surveyed around Miss Shen's maid when she was attacked. A few messy footprints were found under the wisteria opposite the door of the Octagonal Pavilion, which matched the direction in which the chili water splashed by Miss Shen earlier. And the distance is only two feet. The murderer is very sure that he will be able to hide here. However, the footprints found by the ministers are not the same person compared to the footprints in the peony field. ”
When they heard this, they all looked at each other.
Song Ping finally raised her head, and a flush from excitement floated.
The emperor glanced at Song Ping with his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that someone else did it?" ”
Bu Xingzhe said: "According to investigation, Miss Song only brought a maid with her when she left Muxiang Pavilion. The minister thought that the person who secretly attacked Miss Shen's maid should be someone else. I just don't know if Miss Shen has offended anyone? ”
Hearing that the perpetrator was indeed not instigated by Song Ping, Shen Yan became more and more sure of his guess. originally thought that she should not have such courage, but her behavior was really intolerable, and because she had no clue about catching the real murderer, she was just a murderer. Now that she heard Bu Xingzhe say this, she groaned.
Before she could speak, Song Ping had already gotten up from the ground, pointed at her sharply, and said, "How could she not offend anyone, she had offended Concubine Niangniang before!" ”
I don't know if it was because she was too angry or because she had finally suddenly escaped from the attack, from despair to a sudden glimmer of hope, her voice resounded like thunder in this small open space, stimulating everyone's eardrums!
Concubine Shu has never made a sound, while worrying about what kind of danger is hidden behind this case, she is naturally happy to see Shen Yan unlucky under the queen, but the matter is clear that the Shen family is powerful, Song Ping is really wronged, and she can't do a stupid thing to step on Shen Yan in the face, but she didn't expect Song Ping to point the finger at her!
As the favorite concubine in the Great Zhou Palace, where will she be able to hold it?
stood up at the moment, and pointed at Song Ping upside down: "What does Miss Song mean, does it mean that the person who attacked this sneak attack was instructed by Concubine Ben?" ”
Song Huan hurriedly stood up, knelt down and said, "Niang Niang is angry, the little girl has been scared stupid, her words can't be taken seriously!" Please don't count the villain! ”
"What a good one, not to be true!" Concubine Shu looked at him with a cold face, "In line with Lord Song's meaning, she is directly pointing out that I am the murderer who attacked Miss Shen today, or the assassin who secretly broke into the Biling Palace, and I will admit it too?" ”
Song Ping also knew that she had missed her mouth at this time, but fortunately, she was not completely stupid, so she reacted immediately and said: "Back to Niangniang's words, Song Ping didn't mean this, I mean that Miss Shen is arrogant and domineering, and offends people invisibly on weekdays, even Concubine Shu dared to contradict before, who knows who else she has offended?"
"And Miss Shen naturally won't say it and embarrass herself, I'm afraid this matter will be inseparable from me."
At the end, she kept her tone down. It sounds full of grievances.
"Miss Song's words are a bit excessive." At this time, Duchess Rongguo opened her mouth slowly, "I have been neighbors with the Shen family for more than ten years, and this Second Miss Shen often goes in and out of the mansion, why have I never seen her arrogant?" Not only was Miss Shen Er not like this, but there were no ostentatious people in the Shen family, I don't know how Miss Song came to this conclusion? ”
Song Ping saw that Shen Yan had someone to help, pursed her lips, and said, "Song Ping is soft-spoken, and Madame's words dare not refute." ”
Duchess Rongguo sank her face.
To speak. Shen Yan stepped out. preemptively said: "Miss Song, I only want to ask you one thing, how did you know that I offended Concubine Shuniang?" Who sued you? "Duchess Rongguo is a person with a head and a face, and she is also an elder. It's already love to stand up for her. If you let her reason with Song Ping for her as a junior. I really don't want to go.
Song Ping was stunned, and the rest of the people also looked over.
Shen Yan turned to face Bu Xingzhe: "Master Bu, can you ask your right-hand man to verify one more thing." Even today in the palace, who has been in contact with Miss Song. I believe that the murderer who intended to assassinate me must have had contact with Miss Song beforehand. That's why the other party chose to prepare in advance at such a coincidental time to attack me.
"In addition, even if the murderer is not Miss Song's person, judging from their tacit cooperation, I have reason to suspect that they are complicit."
Song Ping's face had just turned better, and she was immediately discouraged again.
Bu Xingzhe looked at the emperor, the emperor hummed, and someone went down at the door.
Shen Yan raised his lips and turned to Song Ping, and said, "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. I can swear by heaven and earth that I, Shen Yan, have never taken the initiative to offend anyone. When talking about Peony Field before, Miss Song was also loyal and unyielding, but it turned out that you had nothing to say. I won't say much about the matter of character, who is the person who conspired with you, Miss Song still has time to say it. ”
Song Ping's only layer of face was torn off by Shen Yan so mercilessly.
The people sitting on either side of the screen looked over to where she was.
Bu Xingzhe is used to handling cases, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning at Song Huan: "What Miss Shen said is very reasonable, this case can be big or small, Lord Song might as well persuade Ling Yan to tell the suspicious people he has come into contact with, so as to clear the suspicion as soon as possible." ”
Song Huan was sweating profusely, and scolded Song Ping angrily: "Don't say it quickly!" ”
Song Ping's chest rose and fell, and she looked up at the crowd.
Many people in the crowd began to get nervous, and E sat next to the Duchess of Rongguo, and his hands were almost broken.
Song Ping's eyes fell on her, and she suddenly paused for a moment.
There are not a few people she has come into contact with today, and if there are any particularly suspicious people, I can't talk about it, but the most surprising thing between them is Xiuqin, as the maid next to the Duchess of Wei, how could she suddenly come to greet her? I didn't think anything at the time, but now that I think about it, it's very suspicious.
And she also took the initiative to reveal to her that Shen Yan had offended Concubine Shu, although she said that she had no intention of leaking her mouth, but how could a maid from the Guogong Mansion not even have this bit of restraint? Regardless of whether Xiuqin was true or false, she was determined to deal with Shen Yan because of her words!
But Xiuqin is the maid of the Duchess of Wei, if she recruits her out, she will inevitably offend the Han family, and if she offends the Han family, it will be equivalent to offending the other three Guogong Mansions, not to mention that the Duchess of Rongguo was clearly biased towards Shen Yan just now, if she said it, would they believe it? Can Song Huan afford this consequence?
She looked at Eshi in a daze, not knowing whether to open her mouth or not. (To be continued......)
