"What evidence is needed? She sneakily went in and out of the kitchen that night, and it must have been her! ”

Mo Jiuwu had just opened her mouth to ask, when the woman hurriedly spoke, she couldn't say whether she was courteous to Mo Jiuwu or eager to put all the blame on Xiaohui.

That means ...... There's no evidence for it, do you?" Mo Jiuwu looked at the woman meaningfully, and asked in a cold tone.

"This ......" The woman looked at Mo Jiuwu with unhappy eyes, and stepped back a little timidly for a while.

"Princess, although there is no substantive evidence, but at present, she has the biggest suspicion, ask her what she was doing in the kitchen that night, and she kept silent, so we ......" At this time, Qianyi stood up and explained, in just a few words, he instantly said that the reason for his unauthorized execution was justified, and even Mo Jiuwu couldn't blame Qianyi.

Mo Jiuwu looked at Qianyi and didn't speak, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Hui, who was dying.

"Princess!" At this time, Uncle Ming rushed over when he got the news, and he also had a general understanding of what happened on the way.

"Uncle Ming, who usually manages the back kitchen?" Mo Jiuwu looked at Uncle Ming and asked.

"It's me!" As soon as Mo Jiuwu asked, before Uncle Ming could answer, Qianyi stood up.

"In that case, since there is no evidence, why did you lynch?" Mo Jiuwu looked at Qianyi with some dissatisfaction.

"The princess forgives her sins! The most important thing is that I can't find the tribute, this tribute is rewarded by the emperor, and if it is found and lost, it is a crime of disrespect, so I dare to ......" Qianyi lowered his head.

Indeed, many people don't think too much about this kind of thing, and compared to the loss of tribute, the life and death of a scapegoat is not comparable at all, so it is best to find a scapegoat to solve the matter quickly.

"Then you can't disregard human life like this, this princess doesn't care how you managed it before, but now that the prince has handed over the palace to me to take care of, this kind of lynching must not happen again in the future, give me evidence for anything, if there is a next such thing, I don't care who is right and who is wrong first, I will be the first to find it...... It's the one who moves the execution! Mo Jiuwu said domineeringly, looking at Qianyi, it was obvious that the sentence behind Mo Jiuwu was for Qianyi.

Sure enough, hearing Mo Jiuwu's words, Qianyi's face changed, and she lowered her head silently, "Yes!" ”

"Okay, Uncle Ming, send someone to search the whole house, just steal tribute...... It shows that it is not outsiders who enter the house, but the people in the house who steal it, and the tribute is not easy to sell when it is taken to the market, so what about eating...... I guess I'm reluctant to eat it all in one bite, right? So...... There are always clues to be found. Mo Jiuwu looked at Uncle Ming and commanded.

"Yes, someone, search the whole house!" Uncle Ming nodded, and then ordered the subordinates on the side.

Hearing Mo Jiuwu's words, the face of the woman standing on the side changed, and her fingers trembled unconsciously.

"Princess, the doctor is here!" At this time, Qingqing led a Lang Zhong over.

"Doctor! Look at her! Mo Jiuwu pointed to Xiao Hui, who had fallen into a coma, and said.

"Yes!" The doctor nodded, then walked over to Xiaohui to check.

Qingqing moved a chair for Mo Jiuwu to sit down, and Mo Jiuwu sat on the chair, waiting for the results of Uncle Ming's search.

But before Uncle Ming could bring news, the woman who was beaten unconscious was treated by the doctor and gradually woke up.

"Princess, there is no big problem anymore, just cultivate your life next!" The doctor walked up to Mo Jiuwu and said.

Mo Jiuwu nodded, then got up and walked over to the woman and squatted down, "What's your name?"

The woman looked at Mo Jiuwu and wanted to struggle to get up, but was stopped by Mo Jiuwu.

"Back to ...... Back to the Princess! The small one is called ...... It's called Xiaohui! Xiaohui said weakly.

"Xiaohui! Okay, tell me, they said you snuck into the back kitchen, what are you going to do?" Mo Jiuwu asked.

Hearing Mo Jiuwu's words, Xiaohui looked at Mo Jiuwu hesitantly and remained silent again.

Looking at Xiaohui's appearance, Mo Jiuwu stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, if there is anything to say, I will give you justice, but if you don't say anything, then ...... This princess can only let them deal with you! ”

When Xiaohui heard this, her teeth bit her lip tightly, she hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made up her mind, the corners of her mouth loosened, and then she said slowly: "Princess, slave maid...... The slave did not steal ...... Stealing tribute, slaves and maids sneaking into the back kitchen, just ...... Just to get a little bit to eat! Xiaohui said with a dying breath.

"Princess, she's talking nonsense, who sneaks in the middle of the night just to steal food!" At this time, the woman on the side retorted.

Mo Jiuwu looked at her unhappily, and the woman looked at Mo Jiuwu's displeased eyes and closed her mouth.

"Princess, I really ...... It's really just a matter of getting something to eat, because ...... Because ......"

After Xiaohui's narration, Mo Jiuwu also probably understood that Xiaohui has a sweetheart outside the mansion, named Lin Nan, who is a person who reads poetry and books, but because of his poor family, he has not been able to get ahead, and has been selling some calligraphy and painting for a living, and Lin Nan has a perennial bedridden mother at home, who relies on Xiaohui's meager moon silver in the palace to buy medicine on weekdays, and that night, the reason why Xiaohui would enter the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal things is because that night, Lin Nan's mother died, But Lin Nan didn't have the money to buy those sacrifices in front of the grave, so when Xiaohui found out, he took the risk of stealing some things from the kitchen and taking them out.

Now that Mo Jiuwu has a general understanding of the matter, Xiaohui would rather be beaten to death than say it before, maybe she was afraid that Lin Nan would be involved, so she kept silent.

"Princess, this matter ...... It has nothing to do with Lin Nan, please ...... Please don't ......" Xiaohui looked at Mo Jiuwu pleadingly, trying not to implicate that Lin Nan.

"Don't worry! No, it won't! Mo Jiuwu smiled comfortingly at her.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Princess! When Xiaohui heard this, tears fell uncontrollably, and she looked at Mo Jiuwu gratefully.

"Send her down to recuperate!" Mo Jiuwu stood up and commanded.

"Princess, it's too ...... to rely on her alone," Qianyi said on the side.

"No, it's easy to find someone to corroborate this, so even if she lies, she won't make this excuse." Mo Jiuwu waved his hand to stop Qianyi's words.

At this time, Uncle Ming also searched and came back, holding a square silk in his hand.

When Uncle Ming came over with the piece of square silk, the woman's face changed, and her body shook uncontrollably.

"Princess, I found it." Uncle Ming walked to Mo Jiuwu with the square silk, and then opened the square silk, and immediately the bright red fruits lay in the fast square silk.

"Cheerilee!" Mo Jiu danced one of those fruits and exclaimed.

That's right, those so-called tributes turned out to be just the most common cherries in modern times.

"Huh? Princess, what...... What cherries?" Uncle Ming heard Mo Jiuwu's exclamation and looked at Mo Jiuwu in confusion.

"Ahh It's nothing! This is the tribute from the Underworld?" Mo Jiuwu picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth.

"Princess!" Qingqing watched Mo Jiuwu's actions and pulled her, while everyone on the side turned their eyes to Mo Jiuwu.

"Isn't this just for eating! Oh, don't digress the conversation, where did you find this thing?" Mo Jiuwu took all the cherries from Uncle Ming's hand and asked.

"Oh, I found it from a maid named Xiaohe!"

"Little lotus? Who is it! Mo Jiuwu asked. Immediately found that everyone's eyes fell on a woman, Mo Jiuwu took advantage of the situation, and saw that it was the woman who had been insisting that it was Xiaohui before, and the woman looked at everyone looking at her, her face trembled, and then she knelt down violently, kowtowed to Mo Jiuwu and said, "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life." ”

"Oh~ It turned out to be you! Looks like you're ...... The thief shouted to catch the thief! Mo Jiuwu looked at her and said with a smile.

The woman looked at Mo Jiuwu with a pale face, and her body trembled, "The princess spared the slave!" The slave doesn't dare! The woman fell to her knees and wept.

"Actually...... I don't care if you steal the tribute, but you shouldn't pull an innocent person to take the blame for you, and let her almost lose her life for you, instead of feeling guilty, you look on coldly, bite and want to eat others alive, this is not good! Mo Jiuwu walked up to the woman and said in a cold voice.

"Wang ...... Princess! The woman timidly raised her head and looked at Mo Jiuwu, her eyes full of despair.

Mo Jiuwu sighed, turned around and stopped looking at the woman, and said, "Uncle Ming, I don't want to see her in the palace anymore, transfer it to the government." Mo Jiuwu said coldly.

"Yes! A few of you take her out. Uncle Ming nodded, beckoned his subordinates to set up the woman out of the house.

"Princess, princess! The slave and maid knew that she was wrong, and the princess ......" The woman's voice begging for mercy resounded in the back kitchen.

"Remember, since this princess is now in charge of the palace, then there is no room for those hearts... Bosom... Bad people, so ...... Those who do not have those minds continue to keep, but those who have those who have their minds...... Either unplug it for me, or ...... Keep it hidden for me, and it's better not for me to find out, or ...... I'll make her regret meeting me! Got it?" Mo Jiuwu turned around and looked around at everyone present, and said coldly.

"Yes!" Everyone present responded in unison.

"Alright, it's done, let's go back!" Mo Jiuwu regained the smile on her face, holding those cherries in her hand and tasting them with relish.

Qingqing looked at Mo Jiuwu, reluctantly followed, and left the back kitchen.

"Okay, let's stop this matter, let's get busy!" Uncle Ming looked at the people who were still gathered together and ordered.

When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed.

Qian Yi looked at Mo Jiuwu's departing back, a gloomy flash flashed on her face, and then turned to leave.

And Mo Jiuwu asked Qingqing while tasting the cherries, "Qingqing, these are brought by the Underworld Kingdom, so there are a lot of them in the Underworld Kingdom?"

"No, I heard that there is only one fruit in the Underworld, and the legend is that it was borne by the sacred tree of their Underworld, and the few are pitiful, you think it is everywhere! If it's everywhere, how can it be called a tribute? Qingqing explained helplessly.

"Tsk! Pity! Hearing Qingqing's words, Mo Jiuwu had some pity to smash his mouth.

"What's the pity?" At this moment, Long Junmo's voice sounded on the side.
