This motivation is almost an insurmountable hurdle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even if there is a motive, this Wu Hong is really a chaotic party, but since it is a chaotic party, why should he do stupid things.

The opportunity to poison the emperor was to poison the queen, which is really unreasonable.

It is impossible for a real chaotic party to do such a stupid thing, at least if Liu Chengfeng assumes that he is a chaotic party, this poisonous wine will naturally be sent to Zhu Youjiao's liquor case.

Xiao Jing's words made Liu Chengfeng speechless.

Even Zhu Youjiao's face couldn't help but soften a little at the moment.

Wu Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, was at a loss for words, but after hearing Xiao Jing excuse him, his courage also strengthened a little, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, if the slave maid is a chaotic party, why do you want to go far, those wines were brought by the slave maid, the queen needs wine on the queen's side, and Your Majesty is also waiting for the wine to go up, why did the slave and maid send the poisonous wine to the mother's side instead of sending it to Your Majesty?" ”

He thought for a moment and continued: "Besides, in fact, three days ago, the miscellaneous family didn't have much effort to enter the wine cellar, but they just came out after a turn, if it was a chaotic party, how could they be so careless." If Liu Yan didn't believe it, he could summon the man who guarded the wine cellar and inquire carefully, and the slave and maid did only turn around in the wine cellar, and if they concealed it, they would die with ten thousand arrows through the heart. ”

He made a retraction of his confession, which is another strong piece of evidence.

If Wu Hong was really poisoned three days ago, he would have to stay in the cellar for a long time, after all, so many wine jars have to be poisoned, and the amount of arsenic must be calculated.

Liu Chengfeng was also confused at this time, it stands to reason that Wu Hong is the most suspicious, but now it seems that it may not be him, because many things have not been clarified, and there are too many doubts.

He pondered for a moment, then called a pro-soldier and said, "Come on, go and call Zhou Chen, the eunuch who guards the wine cellar." ”

The pro-army took the order and left.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Jing couldn't help but sneer: "It is said that Liu Yi is like a god in judging cases, and he is the best at arresting the rebellious party, but it seems that the miscellaneous family is actually difficult to live up to under the fame." ”

Liu Chengfeng ignored him, but began to ponder in his heart.

In front of him were two great suspicions, one was that Wu Hong did not have enough time to commit the crime, and the other was that Wu Hong did not have the need to poison the empress but abandon the emperor. If these two doubts are not explained clearly, I am afraid that this case will be stranded again.

Could it be that there is someone else in this chaotic party?

First of all, this person must have the time to commit the crime, be free to come and go in the cellar, and have enough time to put arsenic in the wine. In addition, he was motivated by poisoning Empress Zhang.

If this is the case, then there is a good chance that this murderer is **, and only the one who is still the food supervisor is the one who is still the food supervisor, because except for the Shang food supervisor, the rest of the people who enter and leave the wine cellar need to have a reference and a slip, and even need to record the time of entering and leaving, and the Shang food supervisor has a record.

Only the people of Shangshan Jian can stay there for a long time, and they will not arouse suspicion.

In addition, although Empress Zhang is the head of the inner palace, she has always been kind to others, who in this palace has any blood feud with her? The court of the Hongzhi Dynasty is not as complicated as in other periods, here, the emperor has only one spouse, there is no so-called harem beauty, if it is other periods, Liu Chengfeng may still be able to suspect that this is a concubine who is jealous of the queen and instructs people to poison, but now, Liu Chengfeng does not believe it.

A few old concubines in the palace are obviously impossible to instruct, they are not young, Empress Zhang treats them quite well, this is the time to recuperate, and poisoning Empress Zhang will not benefit them at all.

In addition to the old concubine, the rest of the nobles are even more impossible, because there are too few nobles in the palace, Princess Taikang is one, but Princess Taikang is the daughter of Queen Zhang, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

If it weren't for the instigation of the chaotic party, or the continuation of Gong Dou, Liu Chengfeng's brain would have cracked, and he couldn't think of anyone else who would be so bold.

Could it be a possibility...... Liu Chengfeng suddenly thought of something, and this thought came to him, and even he couldn't help but be startled.

He couldn't help but glance at Zhu Youzhang, and seeing Zhu Youzhang's expression as usual, Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and fell into silence.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen was led in again.

As soon as he came in, he saw that the emperor, Liu Chengfeng, and Gonggong Xiao were all there, and the whole person was so frightened that his legs were about to weaken, and he fell to his knees with a plop and said, "Slave...... Slaves...... I have seen Your Majesty...... Long live our emperor. ”

Liu Chengfeng coughed and asked, "At the end of the night of my son, the official asked you, did you say that Wu Hong had entered the wine cellar?" ”

Zhou Chen didn't dare to hide it, first glanced at Wu Hong cautiously, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, this is what the slave said." ”

Liu Chengfeng continued to ask: "Then before the third day, whether Wu Hong had entered the wine cellar, you answered truthfully. ”

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "The slave maid remembered, three days ago, Young Eunuch Wu also entered the wine cellar. ”

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "Since you have entered the third day before, why don't you say it?" ”

"Ah......" Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, looking stunned, and said after a long time: "The slave was very scared at that time, so ...... So ......"

He looked cowering, like a frightened fawn, and he was trembling all over at this time.

Liu Chengfeng stopped scaring him, and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible: "You don't have to be afraid, I just asked you to ask you a few words, yes, how long did Wu Hong go in at that time?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Chen looked like he was trying to recall, and then said slowly: "This ...... The slave and maid also don't remember very well, as if ...... It seems like there is a time or two of incense. ”

As soon as his words fell, Wu Hong almost jumped out and shouted: "Zhou Chen, what nonsense are you talking about, what a time for a pillar or two of incense!" ”

Wu Hong's gaffe is reasonable, such a big thing, once it falls on his head, it is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and it is light to cut it with a thousand knives, his biggest counter-evidence is that there is not enough time to poison, but now Zhou Chen is saying that he has stayed in the cellar for a pillar or two of incense, such a long time, enough for him to do a lot of things, he shouted: "The miscellaneous family obviously only went in and took a turn, Your Majesty...... Liu Yan knows that if I have a lie, I will not die well......"

Wu Hong was completely panicked at the moment, obviously he also understood in his heart what Zhou Chen's testimony meant.

Liu Chengfeng's gaze became cold, and he said, "Wu Hong, now is not the time for you to speak, shut your mouth." ”

Wu Hong's whole body was almost paralyzed, and it was obvious that Liu Chengfeng was not interested in listening to his statement at all.

Liu Chengfeng's gaze fell on Zhou Chen, and he said gently: "The time of one or two pillars of incense, can you confirm it?"

Zhou Chen lowered his head, as if he was frightened by Wu Hong's roar, lay on the ground, and said: "There should be no mistake, when Wu Hong went in, he also greeted the slave and maid, saying that he was ordered to go in and inspect the wine cellar. But he was in the palace after all...... How dare the slave and maid stop him, so he had to let him in, after a full time of one or two pillars of incense, Wu Gonggong came out, and told the slave and maid to be cautious, it will be the queen's birthday in a few days. ”

Wu Hong's face completely lost its blood, and his eyes flashed with complete despair.

Although his motive for poisoning the queen mother is not clear, but just now he lied and said that he was just going around the wine cellar, but now it was exposed by Zhou Chen, and he had made perjury before, in this case, the person who poisoned him was not who else could he have.

The reason is very simple, if a person uses perjury to deceive others, it will only deepen the suspicion of others. Not to mention, he is an internal official and a young eunuch, and he entered the wine cellar of Shangshan Jian three times and twice, this matter is not clear, and now he is at a loss for words.

Don't say it's him, even Xiao Jing's face turned cold at the moment, he knows in his heart that Wu Hong can't keep it anymore.

Because at this moment, Zhu Youzhang's eyes have become blood-red, and even the emperor is already convinced that Long Yan's anger has begun to brew, and the next thing is how to deal with this chaotic party.

Zhu Youjiao's eyes were on fire, obviously in great anger, his hand was on the handle of the seat, his elbow was trembling slightly, he glared at Wu Hong through gritted teeth, and said word by word: "Wu Hong, do you still want to deny it?" I don't treat you well, and now I dare to do such a rebellious thing, today...... I ......"

In the latter words, Zhu Youzhu was too excited, and he couldn't say it like a fish in his throat, his anger can be imagined, seeing that his queen was poisoned, he almost lost his surname, and the person who poisoned him was actually the young eunuch in the palace, Zhu Youzhu at this moment was blinded by the desire for revenge, and he just wanted to immediately break this Wu Hong's body into pieces.

"Someone is coming, ......" Zhu Youzhu took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

"Yes." The wolf-like pro-army responded one after another.

Zhu Youzhu was about to fall, but at this time, Liu Chengfeng suddenly said: "Wait!" ”

Liu Chengfeng shouted such a sentence, which almost stunned everyone, but Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that things are not so simple, this Wu Hong is not a poisoner." ”

He said it in a way that almost everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Not Wu Hong? Who else?

Liu Chengfeng said: "It's really murderous, and this person, in this duty room, can Your Majesty give Weichen a little time, Weichen only needs a stick of incense, and he must give His Majesty an explanation." ”
