Chapter 18: Interrogation
Last night's incident, Xiao Yuan'er originally thought it was foolproof, but last night's chaos made her complacent, thinking that Yu Panxi and the man should be caught.
After dawn, she was impatient to let people inquire, but she never thought that things would turn out like this.
That man was obviously a mason, why did he suddenly become a thief, and he still had the courage to steal Yao Guangqin.
I heard that the emperor sent her father-in-law to support Yu Panxi, which made her even more panicked and anxious, but she was grounded again, so she could only be in a hurry in the room, and there was nothing she could do.
On the other side, because of the arrival of Gonggong Yang, Xiao Chumo was not good at interrogating in private, so he simply invited Ming Guohou and Gonggong Yang to the front hall and interrogated the thief in front of them.
Yu Panxi said that she had to listen to everything, and Xiao Chumo had no choice but to let Yinling help her to the front hall.
When Gonggong Yang saw her, he naturally comforted her, "Madame, don't worry, the emperor told the old slave to thoroughly investigate this matter, and he will definitely change your wife!" ”
Yu Panxi's face was pale, and the whole person looked shaky, his voice was like a mosquito, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
She sneered in her heart, what justice did she have to give, but she was just worried about the whereabouts of the Night Pearl!
Seeing her like this, Xiao Chumo was distressed, took her shoulders to help her sit down, and said to Father-in-law Yang: "Father-in-law Lao is coming here, I hope that she is unwell, and please don't be embarrassed." ”
"Where." Gonggong Yang glanced at Yu Panxi again, and saw that she looked lost and depressed, not like a fake, it seemed that Yaoguangqin was destroyed, and the theft of the night pearl was indeed a thing.
Thinking of the emperor's expression when he came, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and he didn't care about greeting Ming Guohou, so he said to Xiao Chumo: "Then General Xiao will start interrogating the thief quickly, the emperor is still waiting for the old slave to reply to the news." ”
Ming Guohou was also worried in his heart, and quickly echoed: "Yes, let's start quickly." ”
Xiao Chumo turned around and sat down, and asked his subordinates to bring the thief up.
When the man arrived in the lobby, the whole person was still a little excited, he only remembered that he jumped over the wall and into the courtyard, but he had no impression of what happened after that, and when he woke up, he had been locked up, his hands and feet were trapped, his mouth was also blocked, and there was no way to splash dirty water on Yu Panxi's body.
When he was finally brought out, it seemed that he was going to be interrogated, and he finally had a chance to speak.
When the next person took down the rag from his mouth, he immediately shouted loudly, "Wronged, villain wronged, it's all Madame, Madame asked me to go to her room!" ”
His words made everyone in the hall feel inexplicably ingenious, Ming Guohou frowned, and asked, "Then what do you mean, is it that Mrs. asked you to go to her room to get the Yaoguangqin?" ”
"What piano?" This time it was the man's turn to be inexplicable, and what he didn't understand, he simply put it behind him and continued to pour dirty water on Yu Panxi, "It's all her, she seduced me first, it's none of the villain's business!" ”
Speaking of which, there was something that everyone didn't understand, Xiao Chumo's face immediately darkened, Yu Panxi pointed at him angrily, and said angrily: "You, what are you talking about?!" ”
The man glanced at her, and thought that she was the young lady in the Hou Mansion, and immediately said: "The villain's words are true, if it weren't for Madame's maid to let me into the courtyard, how could I, a mason, enter Madame's courtyard." ”
"Don't shut up yet!" Xiao Chumo used all his strength to stop his urge to slap him to death, and said coldly: "This is interesting, you keep saying that Mrs. asked you to go to her room, and Mrs. sat in front of you, but you didn't recognize it?!" ”
Yu Panxi had already cried and collapsed on the chair, Xiao Chumo hurriedly stepped forward and took her into his arms, looking at the man's eyes full of cold light.
The man looked at Yu Panxi, he didn't expect her to sit here, he thought that if there was a man in the courtyard, the lady must be ashamed to show up, and the people in the Hou Mansion would also hinder her face and let her shut up.
"I, my God, it was too dark, I didn't see clearly." The man immediately stumbled.
Xiao Chumo couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and slapped him hard, and said coldly: "Full of nonsense, don't say anything about destroying Yao Guangqin, you still dare to slander my wife!" If you don't recruit them truthfully, I'll order someone to cut off your dog's head right now!" ”
He is a person who has been on the battlefield, and the killing aura on his body is not something that ordinary people can bear, under the anger, the momentum on his body is full of momentum, and he has long been so scared that the man is about to pee his pants, covering his face that is immediately red and swollen, the man realized that his life is difficult to protect, how can he take care of a lot, and immediately beg for mercy, "The villain said, say everything, the adult spares his life, spares his life!" ”
"Don't say it yet!" Xiao Chumo had lost his patience and said angrily.
The man's mouth was full of blood, his face was very swollen, and he said inarticulately: "Yes, it's the second miss, it was she who asked me to climb over the wall into General Xiao's courtyard, saying that I stayed in the courtyard for a night, and when I was found in the morning, I said that I had done something wrong with the general's wife, and she would give me five hundred taels of silver afterwards, and she would send me out of the city, and there would be absolutely no trouble!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was taken aback. I thought that his slander of Yu Panxi was just a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, but he didn't expect that there was a pickled incident behind it.
"How could it be ......" Yu Panxi covered her mouth, looking incredulous, looking up at Xiao Chumo, tears becoming more and more turbulent.
Xiao Chumo also frowned, stroked her back, and did not speak, but the coldness in his eyes showed his anger.
"Nonsense!" Ming Guohou stood up directly in shock, pointed at him and said angrily.
Gonggong Yang is still sitting in the hall, if this matter is true, if there is such a family ugliness, then the shame will be thrown in front of the emperor!
Xiao Chumo's face was even more cold, he tightened his grip on Yu Panxi in his arms, and said gloomily: "If you still dare to protect your eyes and talk nonsense, I will cut your tongue!" ”
The man shrank on the ground, "The villain doesn't dare even if he has a hundred guts, if you don't believe it, I can confront the second lady." I, I still have evidence, the second lady gave me twenty taels of silver before, and I didn't spend a penny, all under the pillow in my room! The handkerchief covered with silver is still the handkerchief of the maid under the second lady's hand! ”
When Ming Guohou heard this, his body couldn't help shaking, he fell back into his chair, and said angrily: "Evil obstacle, this evil obstacle!" ”
Xiao Chumo glanced at him, didn't say anything, and said coldly to the man: "That Yao Guangqin's matter has nothing to do with you?" ”
The man looked up at him, "Jean, what the hell is the piano, I don't know anything!" Last night, I only remember climbing over the wall, but I don't know what happened after I climbed over the wall, and when I woke up this morning, I was tied up and locked in the house, I really don't know anything! ”
To say that this man is also a little clever, at this time, he speaks in an orderly manner, and he explains everything in a few words.
