"Are you still holding on?" Jin Yuan looked at Liu Ji and asked softly.

Liu Ji's heart warmed, and he nodded and said: "My lord has asked the doctor to bandage me, I rested for a while just now, and I insisted on living, don't worry, my lord." ”

"That'll be fine."

Jin Yuan glanced at Liu Hongren on the side and said to him, "Lord Liu, we are pressed for time, don't mind starting the interrogation now." ”

"Lord Jin, please." Liu Hongren was neither salty nor light, and walked to the side and sat down.

Jin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, walked to Liu Hongren's side, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile:

"Then Lord Liu, please take a seat, the emperor will let us investigate the case together, it's not good for the adults to sit here and listen."

Liu Hongren glanced at him, stood up angrily, and walked towards the high seat of the yamen.

Jin Yuan instructed the official to bring a stool and put it beside Liu Hongren, and he lifted the hem and sat down.

"Let's get started."

"Qin Xi and Liu Ji, on the night of the crime, did you two stay in Liuliju all the time?" Jin Yuan asked.

Qin Xi and Liu Ji knelt down in unison and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

"So there are many guests in Liuliju that night?" Jin Yuan asked again.

"Business has been very good since the opening of Liuliju, and it is not an exaggeration to overcrowd." Liu Ji replied.

"With so many guests, what are you two doing?" Jin Yuan asked again.

Qin Xi and Liu Ji respectively said all their actions that night, but they were just busy looking for guests.

Hearing this, Jin Yuan nodded, and then asked about something else, "When did the prince's concubines come?" ”

Qin Xi and Liu Ji glanced at each other, shook their heads, and Qin Yan continued:

"The two of us have been busy greeting guests, there is a special reception guy at the door, we don't know when the princess and concubine came, but then I heard about it, so I specially confessed, I want the guys in the box on the second floor to serve well, and we can't slack off."

"The prince's side concubine's box, with a special waiter?"

This was asked by Liu Hongren, he leaned forward and frowned, "Where is that guy now?" Why haven't you mentioned it before? ”

Qin Shi and Liu Ji both looked at Liu Hongren without saying a word, paused, but Qin Yan couldn't help but open his mouth and said:

"The adult didn't ask at all before, but the words that the adults heard over and over again were the sentences that the adults heard, and if they didn't admit it, they would be punished, and they didn't have the right to speak to us at all!"

Liu Hongren's face was a little unbearable, he leaned back, cleared his throat, and said, "Where is that guy?" ”

"Liuliju is closed now, so the guy is naturally at home." Liu Ji replied.

"Someone!"

Jin Yuan called out to the official and ordered, "Find that guy from Liuliju." ”

Liuliju employees have registered information, Liu Ji said that the manpower information is placed in Liuliju, and the basic situation of those manpower is recorded on it.

The official received the order, retreated in response, trotted out of the yamen, and went straight to Liuliju.

It took a long time here, Jin Yuan didn't say anything about another day, Liu Hongren was embarrassed to mention it, and he also wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he waited patiently.

After waiting for a while, the official didn't wait to come back, but waited for the shadow to come.

Jin Yuan's personal guard, Liu Hongren had also seen it a few times, so he didn't say anything.

Liuying saluted Jin Yuan, then came to Jin Yuan's side, and said something to him in his ear, Jin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then nodded towards Liuying, and Liuying retreated behind Jin Yuan and stood still.

Liu Hongren looked at Jin Yuan and then at Liuying, he was very curious about what the two of them had just said, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Jin, what else has you discovered?" ”

Jin Yuan looked at him, smiled slightly, and didn't hide it, but bought a pass first, and said, "Just wait for that guy to come over, and Lord Liu will know." ”

Liu Hongren had a question mark in his head, and he didn't know why, after meeting Jin Yuan today, he had been led by the nose, and he couldn't figure out what medicine Jin Yuan was buying at the moment.

Liu Hongren felt that he was a fool in front of Jin Yuan.

The official was also very reliable, and he didn't let Jin Yuan and Liu Hongren wait too long, so he took the guy back to the yamen.

"The villain sees the two adults!"

The young man ran to the hall on weekdays to receive him, and he really went to the yamen there, and he couldn't help but be very scared.

Jin Yuan softened his expression and said, "You don't have to be nervous, I called you here today because I want to ask you something." ”

"The little ones must tell the truth!"

The guy hurriedly promised.

"Good."

Jin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Three nights ago, the crown prince and concubine had a banquet in Liuliju, was it you who entertained you?" ”

This matter is a household name, and this guy is also a party, and he was glad that he was not arrested, and he didn't expect to run away, so he was found.

However, the guy also had a clear conscience, and he had not done anything wrong, and he was not afraid, so he said: "Yes, my lord, it was indeed the villain who had been entertaining the mother's box that night." ”

Jin Yuan leaned forward, looked at the guy kneeling below, and asked, "All the items that Concubine Niangniang needs are all received and sent in through you?" ”

"Yes." The guy nodded.

Jin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reminded: "You are thinking about it, can anyone go out during the banquet of the side concubine?" Can you give someone something to bring into the box, you- think about it. ”

Jin Yuan's voice was not loud, but the solemnity could not be hidden, and Liu Hongren also became serious when he heard this, staring at the guy below, waiting for his answer.

A layer of sweat broke out on the door of the man's head, and he raised his hand to wipe it, thinking about it.

He was indeed in charge of entertaining Ning Lian's private room, but with so many guests, he still had to serve food, and he couldn't always pay attention to those details.

The guy tried to filter everything that happened that night in his mind, and as time passed, Liu Hongren was impatient, and the guy suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened in surprise, and he said loudly: "I remembered!" ”

"I remember!"

The guy hurriedly said: "It is true that not every item was sent in by the villain that night, Gollum Pot!" Right! Goo Dong Pot! There was also a plate of dim sum that came up with it, and it was ......"

The man thought about it again and said, "At that time, there was a girl dressed as a maid standing outside the door, and when I arrived, it happened that another dish was ready, and I was in a hurry to get it, and the girl kindly said that she would help me bring it in, and let me go and do my own work." ”

"The villain had seen the girl in the box before, so he was relieved to hand over the pot and snacks to her, and the villain himself turned back to the kitchen to get another dish!"

Jin Yuan stood up abruptly and asked, "Do you know where that maid is?" ”

Liu Hongren also stood up, stepped down the steps and walked to the guy, leaned over to look at him, and said solemnly: "You have to think about it clearly, if you remember wrong, do you know what will happen?" ”

"Your Excellency! The villain didn't dare to talk nonsense at all, what he said was the truth! The guy was startled and reassured.

"Okay." Liu Hongren said: "Then do you remember, where is the maid?" ”
