Chapter 2: The Case of Layers of Fog
Two quarters of an hour later, someone opened the door of the cold palace, and the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office and the guards of the guards rushed in with barrels.
At this time, Bai Jingyin and Chengying had already done a full set of acts, and their bodies were covered with soot and dust, as well as the skirts, which were also scorched.
When Chengying saw someone coming in, he cried out with a wow, and howled: "It's unreasonable! Who did our young lady offend? Even if he was wrongfully beaten into the cold palace, he even sent people to set fire, wanting to kill people and kill people! ”
There are many people, and the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, Father-in-law Jiang, naturally can't let it go. Although he also heard about the fact that Miss Bai was sent to the cold palace yesterday, the explanation given by the imperial concubine was that Bai Jingyin killed the palace maid, and he was punished with a rod of thirty, and he did not enter the cold palace and waited for His Majesty to come back to deal with it.
But if General Bai's daughter is allowed to die in the cold palace, and General Bai is held accountable, the imperial concubine can be safe, and they, the current people, will inevitably become scapegoats.
"Concubine Jing, you mean, someone deliberately set the fire?" Father-in-law Jiang stepped forward and asked.
Bai Jingyin made a strong self-calm appearance and said: "That's right, I had already fallen asleep, but I was awakened by a noise, and then I saw a black shadow, and then the house burned, I was injured, and my maid almost died in the fire in order to save me." Although I was beaten into the cold palace, in the end, I was the concubine Jing personally appointed by His Majesty, and the fact that I killed the palace maid was really wronged. My Bai family has guarded the border for generations in order to protect the Great Apocalypse, but now I Bai Jingyin, but I have been wronged, I have nowhere to sue, and I almost lost my life, what kind of heavenly principle is this? ”
Bai Jingyin said, squeezed out two lines of aggrieved tears, and hugged Chengying and cried.
The two girls' houses are covered in soot and their skirts are burned, which is really pitiful.
Before Father-in-law Jiang could speak, a neutral voice came from behind him: "In my Daqi's harem, there has never been anything wronged and nowhere to sue. ”
The person who came was the Queen Mother, and she was accompanied by the imperial concubine Ling Suxin and the concubine Yu Qiujin.
"Meet the Queen Mother, meet the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine." The crowd knelt down and saluted.
Bai Jingyin and Chengying also knelt down together.
After the Queen Mother was exempted, she sat on the chair brought by the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, a cold color flashed on her delicate and luxurious face, she looked directly at Bai Jingyin, and said in a deep voice: "If you have any grievances, you can complain." ”
Bai Jingyin raised her head, the sky was dark, and her face was covered with soot, and she was unrecognizable and couldn't see clearly.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, yesterday, the imperial concubine held a canonization ceremony, the courtiers canonized as Concubine Jing, before the canonization, she suddenly proposed, admired the courtier's name for many years, knew that the courtier's martial arts were strong, let the courtiers dance the sword to help the fun. However, while dancing the sword, the sword body suddenly flew out, stabbed a palace maid, and killed him instantly. So the imperial concubine scolded the courtiers with thirty boards of rods, and entered the cold palace, saying that they would wait for His Majesty to come back and then send them down, but now, some people want to set fire to the courtiers. ”
"There's nothing wrong with her handling, do you suspect that the person who set the fire was sent by the imperial concubine?" The Queen Mother frowned and glanced lightly at Ling Suxin on the left.
A cold color immediately flashed in Ling Suxin's eyes, and she secretly hated in her heart, how could she send someone to set fire to make such a big noise? She had already ordered someone to apply poison to the board, and this slut shouldn't survive tonight!
"Queen Mother, I don't!" Ling Suxin suppressed the coldness in her eyes and said aggrievedly, "On that day, Concubine Jing's sister gave Aunt Axiu to death in front of the emperor, which is obvious to everyone, after all, Concubine Jing's sister is precious, I don't dare to deal with it in vain, I only scolded the thirty boards, let her think about it in the cold palace, and wait for His Majesty to come back to deal with it, what is wrong with me?" ”
Bai Jingyin's expression was calm, his eyes were burning staring at the Queen Mother, and he said slowly: "The imperial concubine's move seems to be correct, but it is actually full of mistakes and omissions!" On that day, my sword did pierce Aunt Axiu, but according to my distance and strength on the stage, even if I pierced her, it was impossible to kill her on the spot, you have not yet found out the cause of the deceased, but you disposed of me first, not only did you not find out the real murderer for the deceased, but also wronged me! ”
When the Queen Mother heard Bai Jingyin say this, her eyebrows suddenly jumped.
"You, how can you talk nonsense here with empty white teeth? It's clear that you hit Aunt Axiu—" A trace of panic flashed on Ling Suxin's face, and she scolded sharply. L
"Queen Mother, if you want to know if Aunt Axiu was killed by me, you only need to conduct an autopsy. Where is Aunt Xiu's body now? Bai Jingyin suddenly said in surprise.
Ling Suxin didn't expect Bai Jingyin to dare to perform an autopsy, so she was immediately startled, and was about to say something to stop her, but Yu Qiujin said lightly: "Queen Mother, I thought that Aunt A Xiu had meritorious service to the emperor during her lifetime, so I ordered someone to bury Aunt A Xiu in the wasteland outside the imperial mausoleum, and now since the cause of Aunt A Xiu's death is suspicious, it is better to investigate it thoroughly, which is the respect for Aunt A Xiu." ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Move to the Taihe Hall and pass it on." ”
A quarter of an hour later, the body of the deceased was brought up.
After a test, he stepped forward to report: "Back to the Queen Mother, after inspection, the deceased was hit by the crane top red and died, this poison is extremely toxic, as soon as it is contaminated, it will be poisoned immediately." It's just that the source of the poisoning has not yet been found. ”
Bai Jingyin showed a clear look, and asked out loud: "Dare to ask Zuo, can the sword wound on her chest be fatal?" ”
He shook his head and said, "This sword wound is extremely shallow, just apply some gold sore medicine, and it is impossible to kill on the spot." It's just that according to Niangniang's description, Aunt Ah Xiu fell to the ground immediately after being stabbed and was killed on the spot, so how did this poison come down? ”
Everyone present also gasped, their expressions full of doubts.
Bai Jingyin stepped forward, put on gloves, and then took the toolbox in his hand.
Everyone couldn't imagine that she would dare to do such a thing as a woman, and they were so frightened that they gasped again, especially Ling Suxin, whose eyes were getting darker and thicker, with a strong killing intent.
Bai Jingyin investigated for a long time, and finally pulled out a sharp silver needle on the top of the deceased's head.
This silver needle was cold, but it was all blackened.
"That's where the poisoning comes from. According to my guess, the deceased was pierced by this needle and then poisoned on the spot, and the person most likely to be poisoned was the first person to rush up to hold the deceased at that time. It is so poisonous, without a trace, seamless. Bai Jingyin said in a deep voice.
"How can this be true? Who was the first to rush up to support Aunt Axiu that day! Tie it up now! The Queen Mother's face was cold, and she slammed the table.
