Chapter 222: Cursed Doll
Liu Xu returned to King Qi's mansion, and after saying goodbye to Mo Ziyu and them, he hurried to Tong Village.
The facts of the case are changing rapidly, and the sooner he leaves, he will be closer to the truth.
Now that the facts of this case are well known, Mo Ziyu has no way to affect the overall situation no matter how worried about this case. The security hall is also under the surveillance of the government, and it is inconvenient for her to go there in the future, but if she meets Rong Qian, there are other ways.
It's just that this matter can be exposed, and in the final analysis, Rong Qian's role in it is not small, so after the father and son were protected by the court, they disappeared into the capital with Wen Ying. It doesn't matter if he hides his whereabouts now, if he can commit a bloody case like Tong Village, the people behind it must have a lot of power, and they are easy to be hated, and it will not be too late to appear after he is caught.
Mo Ziyu cared about the progress of Tong Village's case and worried about Rong Qian's safety, but in this Qi Wang's Mansion, there were also people who kept an eye on her all the time!
On this day, Mo Ziyu was reading after getting up, perhaps because of the stuffiness, he was a little irritable in his heart, and he couldn't see it.
At this time, Lu Qiao took a stack of bills, entered angrily, and said, "Girl, look!"
Mo Ziyu glanced at these bills and asked, "What is this?"
"The concierge just sent it, that Aunt Jiang has been haunted by the major silk and satin village jewelry stores and antique shops and restaurants in Beijing for the past two days, and has bought a lot of things, but she doesn't give the silver, all of them are recorded in your account, so I came to ask you for an account today!"
"Settle all these accounts. Mo Ziyu said lightly.
"Girl!" she stomped her foot, "They're going too far, just pay the bill for them, won't they get an inch!
"Pay for it first. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Just keep these bills well, don't worry about the rest! Money is just something outside the body, don't care about it!"
"Okay. The green girl went to get the money and settled the account.
The girl never takes the silver to heart, but she doesn't look at her own income, although the shop Grange given by the prince has a lot of income, and both the prince and the palace have rewarded a lot of things, but the girl has always been generous, and no matter how much money there is, it can't withstand such a toss!
In the afternoon, the princess sent someone to invite Mo Ziyu to go, saying that she had dug up a rag doll in the palace garden.
Midori was surprised: "A rag doll, what's all the fuss?"
Qing Ling's face was heavier, and he glanced at Mo Ziyu and said, "The prince is not here, the girl should be careful." ”
Mo Ziyu nodded lightly: "I understand, let's go over and see what the hell is going on." ”
After a while, Mo Ziyu fell into the Wuling Courtyard, not only the princess, but also the third lady, the eighth lady and the ninth lady.
"I've seen the princess. "Mo Ziyu blessed his body.
The princess smiled faintly: "You can go too." ”
After Mo Ziyu sat down, she glanced at everyone and said lightly: "I called you all here today because I dug up a rag doll in the garden, and this rag doll has my birth date written on the back, and it is full of needles, so I called you all over and discussed together what is going on in this matter." ”
When the eighth lady heard this, her face changed, and she hurriedly said: "I don't know, this matter has nothing to do with me, I swear, I have never done anything to curse you!"
The princess continued to laugh and said, "I didn't say that you did this, I just asked you to come over and discuss it together." ”
The third lady thought for a while and said, "What does this rag doll look like, can you let us take a look." ”
The princess nodded, glanced at Lily of the Valley, and then went to the house and took out a tray, on which was a white rag doll, full of needles.
The third lady picked up the rag doll and took a look, and there was indeed a piece of paper pasted behind it, on which was the princess's life and birthday, and after she read it, she handed the doll to Mo Ziyu.
Mo Ziyu took it and glanced at it, and was slightly stunned in his heart, first, this handwriting is somewhat similar to his own, or it is somewhat similar to Liu Xu's own, and the second is that the needle method of this doll is also very similar to what he commonly uses.
The doll passed to the eighth and ninth ladies again, and finally returned to the princess.
She looked at the doll and said, "This doll was found in the garden, and no one has seen who buried it." Then you can only find clues from other aspects, such as this paper, this handwriting, this material of the cloth, this stitching, and so on! Now that you've looked around, what do you have to say?"
"What do you think of this?" said the eighth lady frowning, "I can't see anything, what about you, do you see any eyebrows?"
Mrs. Nine frowned slightly: "This handwriting seems to be somewhat similar to the handwriting of the prince, a few days ago, the prince taught the slave and maid to write, and the slave and maid have a little impression." ”
"You mean, this rag doll was made by the prince?" asked the eighth lady in surprise.
"No!" Lady Nine hurriedly waved her hand, "I just think that this handwriting is somewhat similar to the prince, and there is no other meaning!"
The princess picked up the piece of paper behind the rag doll, looked at it for a moment and said: "This handwriting is indeed somewhat similar to the handwriting of the prince, this grinding and faint fragrance is the best Hui ink, the toughness of this paper is excellent, it should be the green cigarette paper of Suzhou." And the fabric of this rag doll is Shu brocade, and the stitching method of this sewing should be the most popular cloud jumping needle some time ago. ”
Every one of these things seems to be right with what he can use, Mo Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart sank, it seemed that he was coming at himself.
"Based on all this, how can we determine who made this rag doll?" asked the eighth lady hurriedly, "Are there any other clues?"
"But looking at each of them, it's not something that is eye-catching, but when taken together, it's not so ordinary. The princess said lightly, "Concubine Jiang, you have been imitating the words of the prince, right?"
"Yes. Mo Ziyu lowered his eyes and said, "In the past, the prince disliked the words of the concubine body was too ugly, so the concubine body has been imitating the words of the prince. ”
"Speaking of which, the most particular thing in our Qi Palace's Mansion is Concubine Jiang, and the grinding paper used is specially bought for you by the prince!" the princess smiled faintly, "I don't know that Concubine Jiang uses Hui ink and green cigarette paper." ”
"Used. Mo Ziyu said.
"This Shu brocade has only been rewarded with two horses to the Qi Palace, and one of them has been rewarded to Qiushui Garden, right?" The princess asked step by step, she said, and asked Lily of the Valley to take out a piece of clothing, this dress was sewn by Mo Ziyu for Liu Xu, and the formation on it was the Cloud Jumping Needle, "This dress was made by Concubine Jiang for the prince before, right? This formation seems to be very similar!"
Mo Ziyu did not speak.
The princess paused and smiled coldly: "If there is one thing that matches Concubine Jiang's hobby, it is a coincidence, but so many coincidences add up, it may not be a coincidence, right?
Mo Ziyu got up and said unhurriedly: "It is true that everything coincides with the hobby of the concubine, but this matter does not have anything to do with the concubine. ”
"That doll, can the princess show it to the concubine and take a look at it?" Mo Ziyu paused and said.
The princess nodded and handed the doll over.
Mo Ziyu took it and looked at it carefully, and then said with a faint smile: "It's obvious that someone wants to frame me, but there are too many flaws." Look, this rag doll is just stained with some dirt, it must have only been buried for a short time, right? It had rained the night before, so it was at least buried in the garden during the day yesterday. The concubine does like to use Hui ink and green cigarette paper, but unfortunately five days ago, the Hui ink in the concubine's house was used up, and the green cigarette paper was also gone three days ago. ”
The Ninth Lady rolled her eyes and said, "This rag doll may have been buried yesterday, and this note may not have been written yesterday!"
Mo Ziyu nodded: "What Mrs. Nine said is right, but I don't know that I use this ink and green cigarette paper alone, and I may not be the only one who is learning the prince's words, why do you think it must be me?"
"I didn't say that it must be Concubine Jiang, I just think it's a coincidence. The princess sneered, "Of course, if you can explain it, Concubine Jiang, you can also clear your suspicion." ”
"Let's talk about this Shu brocade again. Mo Ziyu said, "There are indeed only two horses in this Shu brocade, and one of them is in Qiushui Garden. But the concubine has always felt that Shu brocade is very precious, so she has never used it, and the size of Shu brocade has long been stipulated in the palace, and the princess can now send someone to measure the Shu brocade in the concubine's Qiushui Garden to see if there is an inch missing!"
After a pause, Mo Ziyu smiled: "Every step of the rag doll is according to the concubine's hobby, doesn't the princess herself think it's too coincidental? Obviously, someone wants to blame the concubine, but it is not well designed, but it is just a matter of showing the horse's feet, and the princess is aware of everything, and she will definitely find out this vicious person and punish him severely!"
The third lady smiled slightly: "The concubine also thinks that what Concubine Jiang said is reasonable, if it is really Concubine Jiang who made it, how can she leave so many flaws for herself, it is obvious that someone wants to blame!
The princess was silent for a moment and said, "What you said is not bad, there are indeed many suspicious things in this matter, you go down first, and I will think about this matter again." ”
