Chapter 382: Human Witnesses
In front of the mirror hanging high in the hall, the Kyoto yamen was even more solemn, and everyone was quiet, waiting for the young man to give an answer.
The young man swallowed his saliva, he was already nervous, but now he was being watched by everyone, Liu Hongren was even more close to him, it was cold, the young man didn't feel cold at all, but sweated all over his body.
"Yes, yesβ" The young man stammered, unable to speak for a moment.
Liu Hongren patiently ran out, grabbed the young man's collar, and roared: "What are you doing!" Hurry up and tell this official! If you delay any longer, this official will punish you for the crime of obstructing law enforcement! β
The young man was really frightened, begging for mercy again and again, looking at Jin Yuan aggrieved and frightened, and asking for help.
When Jin Yuan saw it, he was very helpless, got up and walked down the steps to Liu Hongren and the others, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Hongren's shoulder, and said, "Lord Liu, don't be impatient." β
"The young man hasn't seen anything in the big world, it's understandable to be nervous, Lord Liu should be more patient." Jin Yuan said, seeing that Liu Hongren still didn't let go, he reached out and grabbed his hand, and pulled Liu Hongren away little by little.
"Humph!" Liu Hongren still glared at the young man, snorted coldly, and then turned his eyes away, for fear that if he was impulsive, he would become a bending trick in Jin Yuan's mouth.
Jin Yuan just glanced at him, shook his head and chuckled, then looked at the kneeling young man, and said gently: "You tell the truth, you don't need to be too nervous, you are just a witness, neither will you be imprisoned, nor will you be tortured, you can rest assured." β
The young man was familiar with Jin Yuan, and when he heard this, he relaxed, nodded, wiped the cold sweat on his head, didn't even bother to tidy up his collar, and said busily: "It's the prince's concubine's family." β
"What?" Jin Yuan and Liu Hongren spoke at the same time, with serious looks on their faces.
"Wipe again, whose maid is it?" Liu Hongren asked.
"Yes, it's from the crown prince's concubine."
To Liu Hongren, the young man was still a little stunned, but with Jin Yuan here, he still insisted on speaking out.
"The crown princess?!" Liu Hongren was surprised: "Personal palace maid? β
"The villain doesn't know if it's a personal palace maid."
The young man whispered, then raised his voice as if he remembered something, and continued: "But there was such a maid with the prince's side concubine that night, and the little one will definitely not be mistaken!" β
The young man's words are convincing, and there is no need to lie, so that the people who handle the ingredient Gudong pot are not all from Liuliju.
"The Prince's Side Concubine ......"
Jin Yuan muttered softly, glanced at the flowing shadow standing behind him, thought for a moment, and then asked the young man, and said, "Are you sure that the prince's side concubine only brought a maid that night?" β
"In addition to this maid, I have also seen others wandering around the box." Jin Yuan asked.
Liu Hongren looked at Jin Yuan in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
It stands to reason that there are more people around the crown prince's side concubine, which is definitely a great thing for Liuliju, if he Jin Yuan is definitely going to bite this breakthrough point, and try to pull things to the crown prince's side concubine.
knew that Ning Zhao and Ning Jian had contradictions, and Liu Hongren's words in front of the palace were still fresh in his memory, didn't Jin Yuan suspect that Ning Zhao was behind the scenes in order to take revenge.
And the question Jin Yuan asked was redundant in Liu Hongren's opinion.
"Someone else?" The young man had a bitter face again, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that there was still this maid, and he really didn't remember any other people.
Seeing this, Jin Yuan reminded slightly: "For example, during this reception, did you see someone coming out of the direction of the box, or did someone go to the wrong place?" β
The young man thought about Jin Yuan's words, but still found nothing.
Jin Yuan sighed and had no choice but to give up.
It can only be said that the man hid it well.
"There are many hidden corners in the box on the second floor, and we, as buddies, often have to greet many tables of guests at the same time, so we really don't have time to take care of anything else." The young man said suddenly.
"Although the shopkeeper Liu and the boss said that night that I should concentrate on greeting the prince's concubine, but I came and went many times, and if anyone took advantage of my absence, the villain would not know." The young man said that he was a little aggrieved.
"Yes!"
Jin Yuan nodded, squinted his eyes and said, "This person is cautious. β
"I'm talking about Lord Jin." Liu Hongren plucked out his ears, couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "What are you talking about?" Why can't I understand it? Mr. Jin, please explain. β
Jin Yuan smiled when he heard this, raised his chin towards Liuying, and said, "Let him say it." β
Liu Hongren took the opportunity to look at it, Liuying nodded in response, unequivocally, and opened his mouth and said: "I checked all the attendants that night with the prince's concubine, and it is indeed as the guy said, the prince's concubine only brought one palace maid. β
"What?" Liu Hongren raised his eyebrows.
"Still."
Liuying didn't look at him, and he didn't know who he was looking at, his eyes were flat, and his tone didn't fluctuate, and he said: "I found that there was a suspicious woman lingering outside the box for a long time that night. β
As he spoke, Liuying looked at the young man, and then said, "Although he didn't meet the woman, he went out from the box to the outside of Liuliju, but someone noticed her on the way. β
"Who?" Liu Hongren asked.
"The predecessor of Liuliju - the great shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion!" Shadow replied.
ββ
"The villain was once the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion."
Xu Wang, the former treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion, has been taking care of the Treasure Pavilion for Ning Mansion for more than ten years, and the business of the Treasure Pavilion plummeted half a year ago, and then Ning Jian took over the affairs of Ning Mansion and proposed to change his livelihood.
The Gudong pot was Xu Wang's plan for Ning Lian, and then helped Ning Lian prepare for the Gudong pot's livelihood, but he didn't want Ning Lian to fall ill once, and the Gudong pot became someone else's industry.
"The villain also came here."
Xu Wang's mouth was dry, he licked his dry lips, and then continued: "I have never set foot in Liuliju before because of my injustice......
"Feeling uneasy?"
Liu Hongren caught his words, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What makes you unhappy?" β
"Hey......"
Xu Wang sighed, looked at Jin Yuan who was sitting on the high seat, and hesitated: "Originally, I was the big shopkeeper of this Gudong pot, and I lost my job after making a good living, so who is not unwilling." β
Liu Hongren glanced at Jin Yuan with interest, but Jin Yuan was unmoved, and raised his hand, "You go on." β
Xu Wang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "But Liuliju is famous, and it has only been opened for a short time, and customers are coming every day, and the villain can't help but be curious after all, so he decided to try whether it is as delicious as rumored." β
Xu Wang went that night, but he didn't want the glass house to be full, so he had to get a license plate and wait outside.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Wang couldn't wait, and then it was his turn, Xu Wang was dissatisfied, and complained with nagging.
He remembered very well that the guy who greeted him was unwilling because it was the person he had recruited before, and after waiting for so long, when he met his former buddy, Xu Wang was even more angry, so he couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words to the guy.
