"The jade pendant is here." Zhao Gao opened his mouth to ask, but he knew in his heart that what Xiao Beizi said was right, and most of his suspicions about Xiao Beizi had been eliminated.

When Xiaobeizi heard Zhao Gao's words, he immediately took out the jade pendant from his arms, and then carefully handed it to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao took Xiaobeizi's jade pendant and looked at it, it was not a good jade, and the workmanship was not excellent, but it was still relatively exquisite on the whole, could it be that the Zhu Gong Guild was greedy and snatched it.

Xiao Beizi saw that Zhao Gao had been staring at his jade pendant, because Zhao Gao, like Gonggong Zhu, was greedy for his jade pendant, and immediately said with a nervous face: "What I said is true, this jade pendant was secretly taken back yesterday when Gonggong Zhu was away, I really didn't see Gonggong Zhu in the room." ”

"Even if there is this jade pendant, it doesn't mean that you can clear the suspicion, can anyone prove that this jade pendant was really taken away by Gonggong Zhu?" Zhao Gao held the jade pendant in his hand, then looked at Xiao Beizi and said: "Maybe this jade pendant was really taken away by Gonggong Zhu, you went to Gonggong Zhu to theorize last night, and then there was a dispute, what accident happened?" ”

Xiao Beizi listened to Zhao Gao's words, his whole face turned even paler with fright, and he couldn't even speak very neatly, so he could only shake his head desperately and said: "What I said is true, at that time, Gonggong Zhu was indeed not in the room, I observed him for several days, and knew that he was not in the room during this time period, so I dared to secretly go and get back my jade pendant." ”

"I can testify that Xiaobeizi's jade pendant was indeed taken away by Gonggong Zhu not long ago, and I was also present at the time." Another little eunuch also spoke.

Xiao Beizi heard that someone had finally testified for him, so he looked at him with a grateful face.

Zhao Gao recognized the person who spoke, he was one of the people who served Hu Hai Gongzi to wash every day, and his name was Xiao Duzi.

In fact, all the people present understood that Xiao Beizi was not lying at all, because as long as it was a good thing, once it was discovered by Gonggong Zhu, it would definitely be taken away.

Almost everyone here has experienced this kind of thing, but they have a bitter word, and they can only swallow it in their stomachs.

Perhaps it was Xiao Beizi's words that aroused the sympathy of others, and when Xiao Duzi testified about the jade pendant for Xiao Beizi, someone finally stood up and said: "I can also testify, at that time, Zhu Gonggong was indeed not in the room, Zhu Gonggong left the room after dusk, and Xiao Beizi will definitely not be able to touch Zhu Gonggong when he comes." ”

"How do you know?" Zhao Gao looked at the person who spoke and asked.

"I was in charge of cleaning, at that time, when I was cleaning the corner of the corridor, I saw Gonggong Zhu leave at the right time after dusk, and then it didn't take long for Xiaobeizi to sneak into Gonggong Zhu's room." The person who spoke did not have the slightest fear that he would be suspected, and said bluntly.

"If that's the case, aren't you afraid of being suspected?" Zhao Gao saw that the person who spoke had a frank face, and there was a trace of interest in his heart, so he deliberately pretended to be serious and said.

"It won't be mine." The man was not frightened by Zhao Gao at all, but said: "I am not the only one who is cleaning, the small pillar is also there, but he did not find this on the other side of the corner at that time." ”

As soon as his words fell, the little eunuch named Xiao Zhuzi immediately stood up, and then spoke: "I did clean with Xiao Hengzi yesterday, and none of us left alone. ”

After Xiao Beizi heard the words of these two people, the expression on his face finally eased, and he knew that his suspicions were completely cleared.

Zhao Gao listened to their words, nodded, and then spoke: "In this case, you are indeed not suspicious, why are you still sitting on the ground?" ”

After Xiao Beizi heard Zhao Gao's words, he also knew that he was out of shape, so he immediately stood up, and then looked at the jade pendant pinched in Zhao Gao's hand, and asked cautiously, "Can I return my jade pendant?" ”

Xiao Beizi was afraid that the jade pendant he got back at such a great risk would be taken by Zhao Gao again, so his eyes were full of worry.

Zhao Gao naturally saw the emotion in Xiao Beizi's eyes, and knew what he was worried about, so he handed over the jade pendant in his hand without hesitation, and then said: "If you really cherish it, keep it, don't take it out everywhere to show off, not every time you will have such good luck." ”

"I see." Xiao Beizi immediately took the jade pendant from Zhao Gao as he answered, for fear that Zhao Gao would regret it in the next second.

Xiaobeizi is just a switch, with him at the beginning, even if it is not his business, the subsequent questions will be much simpler.

Zhao Gao began to look at everyone's faces again, and the gaze in his eyes was very sharp, as if he wanted to see everyone's heart clearly.

"Now that we already know that Gonggong Zhu left the room at the right time, who has seen him after this?" Zhao Gao asked as he looked at everyone's faces.

Sure enough, after Xiao Beizi was cleared of suspicion, the expressions on the faces of the others were very strange, as if everyone was hiding something, especially the panic on the faces of a few palace maids and little eunuchs could not be concealed at all.

"Didn't anyone come out and answer?" Zhao Gao saw that everyone began to be silent again, but he was not in a hurry, anyway, the bait had been released, and there was something to be gained after all. Love Book House

Grandpa Zhu is such a big person, if he leaves the room, someone will definitely see him outside, but I don't know what happened during this period?

"Why don't you talk about it first?" Zhao Gao pointed to a little palace maid with a particularly obvious intention of dodging and asked.

How do you know that the little palace maid was not frightened at all, as soon as Zhao Gao pointed at her and asked, he immediately said nervously and loudly: "I don't know anything, I don't see anything." ”

The attitude of the little palace maid is obviously problematic, needless to say that Zhao Gao is such a smart person, and the others can also see the abnormality at a glance.

But the little palace maid was so frightened that she couldn't speak incoherently, and just kept shaking her head and saying that it had nothing to do with her.

"Tell me everything you know, whether it matters or not, I can naturally recognize." Zhao Gao said with fixed eyes.

It's just that Zhao Gao's words made the little palace maid even paler, biting her lip, but never saying a word.

At this time, the little palace maid standing next to her had a very unbearable face, as if she was afraid that the little palace maid here would be wronged, and then stepped forward and said: "It's really none of her business, I have been with her last night and have never been separated." ”

"Even so, why be so excited?" Zhao Gao looked at the little palace maid and the other eunuchs who spoke, the expression on his face was very strange, so he asked again: "Did you meet Gonggong Zhu last night?" ”

The little palace maid listened to Zhao Gao's question, looked at the companion beside her who was so frightened that she was already bloodless, so she bit her lip and said as if she had made some major decision: "Yes, when the people were decided, we met Gonggong Zhu by mistake in the courtyard of the side hall. ”

"Sister Little Green, don't say it." The little palace maid who was pale with fright, heard the palace maid named Xiao Lu answer Zhao Gao's words, and immediately said with horror in her eyes.

"If we don't say it, they will suspect you, don't be afraid, Sister Little Green will accompany you." Xiao Lu looked at the little palace maid with a distressed face and said.

"Which side hall is the courtyard?" Although Zhao Gao felt that they should have something unspeakable, in order to find out what happened to Gonggong Zhu, he opened his mouth and asked again.

"The small side hall next to the rest of our palace maid." In order to clear the suspicion of the little palace maid beside him, Xiao Lu said: "Under normal circumstances, as long as the things you are responsible for are dealt with properly after dusk, except for the palace maid and the little eunuch on duty, everyone else must return to the resting place and cannot move around at will. ”

"Now that you know, who is still in that side hall when you are determined?" Zhao Gao asked.

"After we did all the best things at hand last night, we knew that the time was coming, so we took a shortcut and passed directly through the small side hall back to the resting place, but we didn't expect to bump into Gonggong Zhu." Midori seemed to think of something as she spoke, and her whole face was full of hatred.

Zhao Gao knew that Hu Hai Gongzi lived in the master bedroom, and palace people like them lived in the most remote place, in order to separate the distance between them, their resting place was separated in four directions around a small side hall.

If you walk according to the road on weekdays, the palace maid, the eunuch, and the eunuch are far away from the four places where they rest, but if you pass directly through the small side hall, they are very close.

Therefore, there are regulations in the palace that no palace person is allowed to enter this small side hall, and the door of the palace is also locked on weekdays.

"The door of that temple has been locked, how did you get in?" Zhao Gao asked his doubts.

"On weekdays, it's locked, but last night, for some reason, we saw that the door was unlocked, and we saw that the time was almost up, so we didn't think much about it and pushed the door in." Midori said as she seemed to regret that she had entered through this door.

"What happened when you went in?" Zhao Gao asked lightly, Zhao Gao always felt that the things that went in were the point.

"Little Green Sister don't, don't say it." The little palace maid next to her was already crying in horror.

The little palace maid named Xiao Lu immediately comforted the little palace maid and said, "I believe in Sister Xiao Lu, I will definitely protect you." ”

As she spoke, the palace maid named Xiao Lu took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up enough courage, and then looked up at Zhao Gao and said, "As soon as we entered, we bumped into Gonggong Zhu in the courtyard, and we wanted to escape in a panic, but it was too late, and we were directly hit by Gonggong Zhu." ”

"So you were afraid of being punished by Gonggong Zhu, so you teamed up to do something and directly made Gonggong Zhu disappear, right?" Zhao Gao looked at the palace maid named Xiao Lu, and there was still a bit of backbone in his eyes, so he asked.

"If that's the case, do you think he can still exist until now?" Xiao Lu didn't hide the hatred on his face at all, and looked at Zhao Gao and said with some gritted teeth.
