Chapter 153: An Accidental Discovery
Xiao Jiading could guess that she didn't say anything, she must have made a promise to Tongyun. He respects the trustworthy, but he has to make her tell her what she knows. And to achieve this, her concerns must be allayed. So Xiao Jiading said: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know that the person who killed her aunt was not her!" Both of you are sisters in a nunnery, and since you know that she has been wronged, but you see her about to be executed, do you feel at ease? ”
"I'm ......!" Tonghui said one word and stopped again.
Xiao Jiading continued: "I also know that the reason why she wants to take the blame for others must be because of her last resort. However, no matter what kind of hardship it is, she shouldn't use her own life to do this, so that not only will she sacrifice her own life in vain, but she will also let the real murderer go unpunished! Let her aunt not be able to live in peace in the spirit of heaven! ”
"She ......, she just didn't want her aunt to be able to get an anchor in the Heavenly Spirit, so she did this......"
"Oh? You mean, if the truth of this case is revealed, it will make her aunt unable to live in peace in the Heavenly Spirit? ”
Tonghui didn't speak, giving him a tacit acquiescence.
Xiao Jiading nodded: "So, the real murderer in this case is the person her aunt wants to protect?" ”
Tonghui glanced up at Xiao Jiading, and stopped talking, but his eyes already showed that Xiao Jiading's inference was wrong. Xiao Jiading immediately understood the meaning of her eyes, thought about it, and said, "Otherwise, what is hidden behind this case that her aunt doesn't want people to know?" ”
Tonghui has another default.
Xiao Jiading nodded slowly and said, "Actually, I also estimated this reason. Therefore, I did not let others participate in today's arraignment, and I was alone, so I did not let others know the truth. Don't worry, you tell me about this. I will never let anyone know, I can assure you. In addition, if this case really involves some secrets behind it, I will definitely handle it carefully, so as not to let her aunt's private affairs leak out, and it will not affect her aunt's reputation. We have avenge her aunt by uncovering the real killer and ensuring that her reputation will not be compromised. You should be able to rest assured, right? Speaking out about this incident not only saved the life of your junior sister Tongyun, but also avenged her aunt. For you, it can be regarded as meritorious service, and you can get a lighter punishment. Isn't it a three-way sentence? I can vouch for it with my personality that I won't damage her aunt's reputation! Think about my suggestion. ”
Tonghui bit her lip lightly and didn't speak, but she could see that she was already a little moved.
Xiao Jiading decided to add another fire, and he smiled: "Have you not seen your child for a long time?" I have had them called, so that you mother and son can meet you. How is it? ”
Tonghui was surprised and stood up suddenly: "Really? Thank you! Thank you! Eldest brother! ”
Xiao Jiading walked to the door with a smile and instructed the jailer outside the door to bring Tonghui's child here. This is what Xiao Jiading arranged for the prison to do before.
The child soon brought and met the mother. threw himself into his mother's arms at once,
Tong Hui cried with joy, holding her two children and crying non-stop. The two children are still young, and I don't know what the mother is crying for. He also cried, wiping his mother's tears while crying.
Xiao Jiading waited for them to talk for a while, and he couldn't spend too much time on it. asked the jailer to take the children out of the room, and still left Tonghui alone.
Xiao Jiading said: "How is it?" If you are willing to cooperate with me, you will be able to reunite with your children in two and a half years at most. ”
Tonghui's meeting with her own child finally broke her backmost line of defense, and she felt that what Xiao Jiading said was reasonable, and telling the truth was not only to help herself, but also to help her sister Tongyun and save her life, and Xiao Jiading had promised not to divulge the secrets involved in the case, and she was now willing to believe Xiao Jiading.
So, Tonghui nodded and said, "Okay!" I say! - It wasn't Tongyun who killed the host of Qingfeng'an. The reason why she admitted it was precisely to maintain the reputation of her aunt Qingfeng Nunnery as the presiding officer of Jixian Shitai, because she saw the affair between Jixian Shitai and the man, and she believed that the murderer of her aunt had something to do with it. Once the murderer is caught, her aunt's incident will be poked out, and her aunt's reputation will be gone. ”
Xiao Jiading was stunned, thought that it was for this, and said in a deep voice: "How did she know that her aunt had an affair with a man?" Did she see it with her own eyes? ”
"It's not! She went to see her aunt that morning, because she knew that her aunt had left a window paper unattached, so that she could reach in from the outside, pull out the bolt, and open the window to go in and out, and that day she wanted to play a prank and ice her aunt with her hands, so she quietly opened the window, and saw a pair of men's boots and a golden folding fan in front of her aunt's drapery bed......"
A golden folding fan? Xiao Jiading's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "What kind of folding fan?" How is it Kim Hwang-haunted? ”
"I don't know what to say, that's what she said anyway."
"Didn't she say what Jin Huanghuang was?"
Tonghui shook her head.
Xiao Jiading thought for a while and said, "You go on." ”
So, Tonghui told her what Tongyun told her, because she just said it, so she remembered it very accurately.
Xiao Jiading was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Tonghui's suspicion is very reasonable, the murderer is likely to be the man in the bed!" Or someone he sent. As many clues as possible must be found in order to determine who that man really is! ”
Tonghui said: "Tongyun only saw the man's boots and folding fan on the ground, and didn't see anything else, the curtain was covered, she didn't know who Lu Dao was, how to check?" ”
"In this case, you go back at once, and don't say that you have told us about it. You ask her to recall it well, what is the golden shaking of the folding fan, and what is the content of the fan on the folding fan? Is it painting or calligraphy? This is very important, maybe we can use this as a clue to find out who the man in the bed is, so as to find out the real murderer! ”
"Good! I'll go back and ask her right away. ”
Tonghui was sent back, and it didn't take long for her to send out a signal that she had already been asked, so Xiao Jiading interrogated her again. It was still the two of them in the arraignment room.
Tonghui said in a low voice: "I have heard clearly,—— those boots are men's boots, they are very delicate and valuable, and it seems that they should be expensive, but she didn't pay special attention to the decorations on them." And what is the gold shaking of the folding fan, she doesn't know what to do, maybe it may be coated with gold dust, or it is made of gold at all. As for the fan surface on the folding fan, it is a picture, as if it is a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water......! ”
Xiao Jiading was surprised and delighted,—— his nemesis Zhong Wenbo, didn't he have such a golden folding fan? It was coated with gold powder, and it was taken out at the Yizhou Poetry Conference, and then it was won by his own fighting poems, and it was used as a paper for the buttocks, and it was rotten when he sat on it, and then he took it back and threw it in the firewood room, I don't know if it burned down.
That's important evidence! Xiao Jiading was suddenly anxious, and he had to find this folding fan as soon as possible, organize identification, and determine whether it was Zhong Wenbo's.
If it turns out that it is his, among the four people that Princess Yang suspects of having an adulterous affair with Princess Lu, there is Zhong Wenbo! And the day Tongyun saw the man's boots and the golden folding fan happened to be the day when Princess Lu was incense and stayed for a few days to chant at Qingfeng Nunnery! Therefore, I am afraid that the person who committed adultery with him may not be the presiding Zhixian Shitai, but it is likely to be the princess Lu!
According to Mrs. Zhishui, she once received Princess Lu in Qingfeng Nunnery at that time, and it can be found out on this day, as long as it is the same, it means that it is very likely that the person who matched the two is this Mrs. Zhishui! And after Zhishui Shitai was arrested, Xiao Jiading inadvertently told Geng Changshi that Zhishui Shitai was very familiar with Princess Lu, which aroused Geng Changshi's vigilance, and he was worried that Zhishui Shitai would leak the secret, so he let his concubine Geng San's grandmother kill Zhishui Shitai to cover up Zhong Wenbo's adultery with Princess Lu!
Thinking about this, Xiao Jiading's eyes lit up suddenly, and he whispered to Tonghui: "The situation you said is combined with the situation I investigated and understood, and I now suspect that the person who stole the man in the house is probably not the host of Tongyun's aunt Qingfeng Nunnery!" There is a very convincing evidence, and that is the reaction of Chi Hyun Shitai! Didn't Tongyun say that Master Zhixian rushed out to send her? And repeatedly asked her what was wrong? Why are you in a hurry to go back? - Just imagine, will a person whose adultery has been broken so calm? Extrapolating from this point, it can be determined that it was not her aunt Zhixian Shitai who committed adultery with someone in the bed in the house! ”
Tonghui nodded frequently while listening, and when she heard the back, she thought about it and said, "Maybe her aunt doesn't know that she has discovered her adultery?" ”
"Didn't you say that after Tongyun found the man's boots and folding fan on the ground, he turned around and ran, forgetting to close the window?"
"Yes!"
"The window by the door is open, how could her aunt not find out when she goes out? Since this is her aunt's unknown habit, only Tongyun knows the way, she should be able to guess that Tongyun opened the window. Since it is known that the Tao of the Devil is through the clouds, what is it for the Devil but there is no abnormal reaction? ”
"Hmmm! That's it! Tonghui nodded.
Xiao Jiading said again: "Whether the one on the bed is her aunt or not, this is easy to check, as long as you find out whether anyone proved that her aunt was somewhere else that morning, you can know the way." Didn't you say that when Tongyun was in a hurry to leave, her aunt chased her to the gate of the temple to stop her? It means that she has already gotten up at that time, maybe she is doing something else, someone saw it. ”
"Yes, yes! Master Official, you must find out, you can't let Tongyun die unjustly like this! (To be continued......)
