Chapter 114: Finding the Murderer
Zhao Yuankan asked the guards to check one by one, mainly to check whose clothes had traces of wear and tear. As a result, after checking it around, there were four or five traces of wear and tear on the clothes.
This stumped Zhao Yuankan, called those people out, and confirmed that the guards were not mistaken! Zhao Yuankan thought about it, but he still didn't know the point. The eyes of asking for help looked at the wind full of buildings.
Feng Manlou had already seen it and walked towards a palace maid.
The maid looked to be in her twenties, but perhaps because she often did hard work, her hands were full of calluses.
These palace maids have also seen such a formation, but in the face of this group of menacing adults, they feel very nervous, especially Guo An and Guo Gonggong of the queen's bedroom.
This Gonggong Guo is in the palace, and the people who dare to provoke him are probably only the ** ministers next to the emperor, Wang Jien. Therefore, I feel even more afraid.
Especially the five palace maids who were arrested, they were all frightened. Feng Manlou looked at the palace maid and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The palace maid said tremblingly: "If you go back to your lordship, the slave family is called Hu Qiao'er!" ”
Feng Manlou said again: "Raise your hands and take a look!" ”
The palace maid didn't know why, so she had to raise her hands as instructed. But I heard Feng Manlou say to Dong Chao: "Look at his hands, if his strength is big enough!" ”
Of course, Dong Chao knew the meaning of Feng Manlou, this palace maid would be rough when she arrived, otherwise she would not have been sent to the Huanyi Bureau, this is a physical job, and it is also the place where the palace maids are most reluctant to go.
Dong Chao nodded to Feng Manlou, Feng Manlou immediately smiled at Zhao Yuankan, and the guards stepped forward and took the palace maid out and directly into the office wing of the charcoal house.
A large group of people followed behind, and the palace maids and servants outside did not have orders and did not dare to leave, so they stood there. This is also for the sake of prudence, and also arranged for Sun Hu Wang Ying, under the leadership of Zhao Yuankan's two guards, to guard them. After all, no one knows if there are any comrades in it.
Zhao Yuankan saw Feng Manlou coming in, and said to Feng Manlou: "Lord Feng, it's up to you!" ”
Feng Manlou glanced at Zhao Yuankan, and said in his heart, this is not a pit father, oh, no, it should be a pit teacher. You are the main envoy, we are the deputy envoy, and we are the first to fight.
However, Feng Manlou wanted to think about it, but he couldn't help but listen to Zhao Yuankan's words. As soon as someone comes to the prince, it is natural to maintain the prestige of the prince, although the prince is not very old. Of course, the main thing is to save your head, this is not the time to joke. Second, I also knew that Zhao Yuankan was now the head of the land temple, and I panicked. I don't know where to start.
Feng Manlou looked at the palace maid and asked, "Hu Qiao'er, the official asked you, what are you doing in the Huanyi Bureau now?" ”
Hu Qiao'er is now stable, and said: "The slave family is from Bianjing, when I was a child, because the family was poor and there were many brothers and sisters, my father and mother couldn't support us, so they sent the slave family to the palace. It's been thirteen years since then. Because the slave family works as an errand envoy in the palace, they can also earn some money every month. That's why the family has a better life! ”
Feng Manlou asked again, "Then where did you go a quarter of an hour ago?" ”
Hu Qiao'er looked a little flustered, but still said with certainty: "In the palace, I am drying quilts in the Huanyi Bureau!" Until I was called here, it was always there! ”
Feng Manlou didn't think about it, and shouted: "Lie! "It scared the palace maid.
"A quarter of an hour ago, you entered the office room of the charcoal room and strangled the eunuch Gu Gonggong in the charcoal room!" Feng Manlou said categorically.
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and said with an inexplicable face: "Why did your lord say this?" The slave family has never left the Huanyi Bureau at all! Besides, how Gu's father-in-law died, the slave family didn't know at all! ”
Feng Manlou asked: "Then the official wants to ask you, since Father-in-law Gu's death has nothing to do with you, why are there traces of friction on the knees of your clothes?" ”
When Hu Qiao'er heard this, it turned out that this was suspected, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the traces were only found when the slave family fell to the ground when they were drying the quilt, and the Shuang'er who was with the slave family saw it with his own eyes." ”
Feng Manlou said: "You still have to quibble." The official asked you, the weather is so cold now, and there is no sun, why do you want to cool the quilt today? ”
Hu Qiao'er replied very carefully: "My lord, although the weather is cold, the wind is very strong. In this winter, dry it to dry it out and then take it to bake! And the quilts are piling up more and more these days, so the slave family has to hold on tightly. ”
"Then why does it take a quarter of an hour for you to cool the quilt?" Feng Manlou asked.
Hu Qiaoer didn't think about it, and said: "There are too many quilts, so I have to dry them for a long time!" ”
"And you've been there to dry the quilt all along?" Feng Manlou continued to ask.
Everyone was puzzled in their hearts, why did Lord Feng always ask some questions that had nothing to do with the case.
"Yes, Shuang'er can testify!" Hu Qiaoer said.
"Which Shuang'er is it, and whose name is it?" Feng Manlou continued to ask.
"Li Shuang'er!" Hu Qiaoer was very simple this time.
Zhao Yuankan glanced at Feng Manlou, and hurriedly said to the guards: "Go and bring that Li Shuang'er from the Huanyi Bureau in!" ”
The guard answered, turned and went out, only to hear a shouting outside, and after a while, another palace maid was brought in.
"Slave Li Shuang'er, meet all the adults!" Li Shuang'er didn't know the identities of these people, anyway, they were officials of the imperial court, so he was always at fault for worshipping like this.
Everyone didn't care, they just heard Feng Manlou ask: "Li Shuang'er, this official asked you, a quarter of an hour ago until now, has Hu Qiao'er been drying the quilt?" ”
Li Shuang'er nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord! ”
"How much has it been dried, and how far is it from you? Where were you then? Feng Manlou asked.
Li Shuang'er thought for a while and said, "About forty quilts have been dried in six or seven rows, and each row is tied to two ends with a thick rope!" At that time, the slave family washed on the outside, and Qiao'er dried it inside! She will come back and wash again after drying! ”
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Feng Manlou asked in an unquestioning tone.
Li Shuang'er said with certainty: "I saw it with my own eyes." ”
Feng Manlou asked: "If you dry the quilt, six or seven rows of quilts will be dried, and the human body will be covered, and you can't see anyone at all." Why do you say you've always seen it with your own eyes? ”
Li Shuang'er was frightened by this, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I did see it with my own eyes, because the slave family was washing in the corner outside, so I could see Qiao'er's feet!" ”
Feng Manlou asked, "Then you stared at her feet for a quarter of an hour?" ”
Li Shuang'er hurriedly said: "My lord, the slave family doesn't have it, how dare the slave family be lazy!" But when the slave family saw her go in, they thought it should be there. And just now the master of the chamber came to greet the gathering, and the slave family saw her come out of it with their own eyes. ”
Feng Manlou said: "In this case, has there ever been a passage leading to the charcoal house in the yard where the quilt is dried?" ”
Li Shuang'er said: "Yes, our courtyard has a passage, an imperial dining room, a charcoal room, and several places to figure it out!" ”
Feng Manlou turned his head and said to Hu Qiao'er: "Qiao'er, you still don't admit it now, your witness has already said it!" ”
Hu Qiao'er asked inexplicably: "My lord, what do you want the slave family to admit?" ”
Feng Manlou began to clear his throat, Dong Chao and Xue Ba knew that this was about to tell the result of this case, so he was used to being vigilant.
"Just a quarter of an hour ago, you took the opportunity to untie the rope from which you were drying. left the courtyard of the Raccoon Bureau. At that time, Li Shuang'er was washing the quilt and didn't pay attention at all. Rather, it is taken for granted, thinking that you are still in the yard. Thus, by concealing Li Shuang'er, he will create alibi evidence for you! After Feng Manlou finished speaking, he paused before continuing.
"And at this time, you sneaked into the charcoal house and came to this wing. Because this wing room is in the charcoal room, it is separated, so outsiders didn't pay attention to your arrival at all, and even the few little eunuchs in charge of the charcoal room didn't notice it! Feng Manlou said.
"After you came in, you talked to Father-in-law Gu, and then went around behind your back and strangled Father-in-law Gu's neck with the rope you secretly received. Gu Gonggong couldn't speak at all because his neck was strangled, so he didn't make a sound. And Grandpa Gu will not be wary of a palace maid. And I didn't expect that this palace maid would come to harm herself, so after she died, she had that look. ”
Of course, this last sentence was said to Zhao Yuankan.
When Guo An heard it, this was amazing, everything seemed to be seen with his own eyes, and said: "Lord Feng, as the saying goes, catch a thief and get dirty, if there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense!" "After all, I am still the palace steward, although I dare not be partial, but I must have conclusive evidence.
Feng Manlou said: "The evidence is on her, you see the mark on her knee, it is not a trace of a fall at all." The fall was just deliberately made by Li Shuang'er to see, proving that he had been drying quilts in the yard all along, one of them. Second, it is also to tell Li Shuang'er that the marks on his knees were fallen. ”
Li Shuang'er was stunned, she didn't expect Hu Qiao'er, who had been with her for so many years, to have such a scheming, but she still didn't believe it.
But I heard Feng Manlou continue: "Hu Qiao'er, you think that such a fall can cover up the marks on your knees, but you don't know where the marks on your knees come from!" ”
"After all, you are a palace maid, even if you have some strength, but you don't have much strength after all. Therefore, after strangling Gu's father-in-law's neck, he used your knees to push up the chair. And your dress is green, and the chair is painted red, so that the two colors are mixed to form black. The proof of this is the knee mark on your dress. Feng Manlou said.
"The marks on the chair are warmer because there is more red. And the color on your dress, because there is more green, so this black is colder. Now you only need to compare the marks on your dress with the marks on the chair, and you will naturally know that you are the murderer! Feng Manlou said.
At this time, Guo An said: "Lord Feng, as for this evidence, it seems that it is not sufficient. Even the murder weapon has not been found. ”
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Father-in-law Guo, this murder weapon is naturally still in the courtyard of the Huanyi Bureau." Now, let's go and take a look, and the official will show you and convince you! ”
Off topic: There are some temporary things to do today, so I can only update one chapter of three thousand words! I'm sorry!
