"If you go back to your lordship, the side concubine Niangniang had a banquet that night, and let me stay in the East Palace to take care of it, so I have stayed in the East Palace and have not gone out." The palace maid said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Really?"

Jin Yuan looked at her, opened his mouth lightly, and asked, "Girl, do you want to think about it, you really stayed in the East Palace that night and didn't go out?" ”

The palace maid raised her head to Jin Yuan, there was no trace of panic in her eyes, and she said calmly: "It's true." ”

"Good."

Jin Yuan smiled, ignored the palace maid anymore, and instructed the servant: "Xu Wang, the great treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion in front of the pass, came to the hall to ask questions!" ”

The palace maid didn't know who Xu Wang was, she was still very calm when she heard the words, and she had already forgotten that there was such an episode when she was in Liuliju that night.

But when Xu Wang appeared beside her, the palace maid's calmness disappeared for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

The look on her face was taken in by Jin Yuan, and she couldn't help but praise in her heart, this woman is indeed so courageous, but it's a pity that she has such a master as Ning Lian.

As everyone knows, Ning Lian's words on the Jinluan Palace have invisibly sold her completely.

"Who's in the hall?" Liu Hongren asked as usual.

Xu Wang hurriedly replied respectfully: "The small one is the former treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion, Xu Wang." ”

"Xu Wang, the former Treasure Pavilion is now the Liuliju?" Liu Hongren then asked.

"Exactly." Xu Wang replied.

"This official knows that the Treasure Pavilion of the predecessor of Liuliju is the property of Lord Ning Hongning's mansion, is this true?" Liu Hongren asked, looking at the kneeling straight palace maid from time to time.

"It's true!"

Xu Wang said: "The little one who has taken care of the Treasure Pavilion for Ning Mansion for more than ten years, and only left Ning Mansion not long ago. ”

"Why did you leave Ning Mansion, what happened to Ning Mansion before, you come one by one." These questions have been asked before, and Liu Hongren asks them now, just to grind the palace maid.

Xu Wang didn't dare to be ambiguous, and explained the things that happened in Ning Mansion and when Ning Jian took over the industry, and then everything one by one.

When it came to Xu Wang's day when he went to Liuliju for dinner, he happened to bump into the palace maid who was leaving in a hurry, and the palace maid next to him finally changed.

The palace maid naturally saw Xu Wang, but she didn't know Xu Wang's name, and she was not a careless person, otherwise Ning Jian would not have handed over the drug to her.

However, she did forget that she had met Xu Wang in Liuliju that night, there were so many people, and she just glanced at it in a hurry, and she forgot about it, she never thought that Xu Wang remembered it so clearly.

"Are you sure that on the night of the crime, you bumped into the girl next to you in Liuliju?" Jin Yuan looked at Xu Wang and said, "Xu Wang, you are taking a closer look, do you recognize the wrong person again?" ”

Xu Wang looked up when he heard the sound, and it was the palace maid he bumped into that night, and immediately nodded affirmatively: "The villain is not mistaken, it was this girl who bumped into that night!" ”

"You talk nonsense!"

The palace maid was obviously a little flustered, and said: "I stayed in the East Palace that night and didn't go out, how could I bump into you in Liuliju!" ”

"You're clearly lying!" The palace maid's voice was raised a little and said.

"Girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Wang was also frightened, and hurriedly explained: "The girl was about to go out that night, I happened to come in, and I had some quarrels with the entertaining guy and couldn't see you behind me, so I bumped into it, but I saw it clearly at that time, that person was you!" ”

"You're lying!"

The palace maid bit it to death and didn't admit it, but instead glared at Jin Yuan and Liu Hongren who were sitting high, and finally her eyes fell on Jin Yuan even more, and said coldly: "I understand." ”

"Lord Jin, is this revenge for Mrs. Ning?"

The palace maid laughed teasingly and said, "But I'm just a little palace maid next to the side concubine, what can Lord Jin do to frame me with all his might?" ”

"And this person!"

The palace maid turned to glare at Xu Wang beside her, and said angrily: "I don't know where to find someone to talk nonsense, I don't know him at all!" Dare to say that you have wronged me! ”

"What did he wrong you?"

Jin Yuan was not annoyed, and waited for the palace maid to finish venting, then he opened his mouth faintly and asked: "He didn't say that you committed murder, and second, he didn't accuse you of harming people, what did he wronged the girl?" ”

"He ——!"

"He is indeed the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion of Ning Mansion, if the girl still has doubts about this, she can invite Lord Ning to naturally see it."

Jin Yuan continued: "The girl wants the official to send someone to invite?" ”

The palace maid just bit it and didn't admit it, but it was too easy to prove who Xu Wang was, and the palace maid knew that it was useless to persevere, so she said: "So what, I don't know him anyway." ”

"Ouch hey!" Xu Wang also got anxious, pointed to the palace maid and said, "The girl doesn't know me, but I know the girl!" ”

"The side concubine has talked to me about things several times, but the girls are all with you! I've been doing business for so many years, not to mention anything else, this person's vision is still there. ”

"Tsk."

Liu Hongren was impatient, looked at Jin Yuan beside him, and didn't dare to use the torture indiscriminately, so he had to scare: "It seems that I asked you well, but you are unwilling to say it well, do you want to try the punishment of the Kyoto Yamen, so that you are willing to cooperate?" ”

"I'm not a murderer, if the adults torture me, they will use lynching over there, and they will be beaten into tricks."

The palace maid was arrogant and said: "Although I am just a palace maid, the side concubine Niangniang will definitely not see the people in her palace being bullied like this outside!" ”

"Yo, the little girl knows a lot."

Liu Hongren was a little nerve-wracked, looked at Jin Yuan, frowned, and said, "This is a surprise sent by Lord Jin, it's better for Lord Jin to solve it." ”

Jin Yuan did not refuse, but looked at the palace maid lightly and asked:

"You haven't been in the East Palace for a few days, and there is no record of you entering and leaving the palace, but when I found you, I was in a remote Zhuangzi, dare to ask the girl, since you are the person who serves by the side of the crown prince's concubine, how can you appear in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs?"

The palace maid swallowed her saliva, and quickly thought about how to answer in her heart, but before she could answer, Jin Yuan continued to ask:

"As a palace maid, the girl has no record of entering and leaving the palace, so dare to ask how the girl got out of the palace? But someone to help out? ”

"Besides, on the Zhuangzi where the girl lives, the official's hand has found something interesting."

As he spoke, Jin Yuan took out a small paper bag from his arms, shook it in his hand, and said, "The things in it were just seen by this official not long ago. ”

Jin Yuan looked at the palace maid and said with a smile: "Seeing that the girl is healthy, it doesn't look like she needs to use these at all." ”

"Not mine! I didn't! The palace maid was confused by Jin Yuan's several questions in a row, and her answers were also upside down.

"I, I went out of the palace to do something for my mother, oh no!"

The palace maid's eyelids blinked quickly, and said: "I am about to reach the age of leaving the palace, the side concubine Niangniang is sympathetic to me and rewards me Zhuangzi, I just want to go to see Zhuangzi when I leave the palace!" ”
