Chapter 304: The Truth About Death
"But it is said that this poison is in the wine......" Huai Yanqing put on a very skeptical face, "The person who can come into contact with the most wine is you." ”
Hearing Huai Yanqing say this, Lotus was shocked: "No! Rajah! It's really not me! I brought in the wine, but it was prepared by Qiu Hong! ”
Before Qiu Hong could say anything, Yue Wenhui stepped forward from behind: "No, Lord Wang, the wine minister also drank it at that time, why didn't the minister have anything to do?" ”
When Huai Yanqing heard Yue Wenhui's words, he was slightly stunned: "Yes, you are still here." Then it can only be said that this wine is in Yan Shao's cup, but this cup is Qiuhong. ”
As soon as Qiu Hong heard that the spearhead had become herself again, she hurriedly shouted: "Lord Wang! No, the prince! I set the cups, but I didn't send the cups in! I don't know whose cup I'm going to put in front of me! ”
"Your Excellency is discerning!"
"Maybe you know where Yan Shao is used to sitting, so you put the cup in the direction."
Huai Yanqing had a smile on his face at this time, but at this time, he didn't seem to have any logic, he was completely thinking of what to say, and he couldn't see the shrewdness of these officials behind him yesterday.
So much so that the people behind him all looked at each other, what's going on? What's wrong with this prince?
Obviously yesterday he said that he already knew the truth, but today it is like a joke?
Distrustful eyes began to increase, but because of his identity, no one spoke at all, just watched him keep messing around, wanting to see if there was anything peculiar.
"Impossible!" Qiu Hong's eyes were completely red, and she turned to point at Xiyue, "It's the first time for the little girl to serve Yan Shao, if it's familiar, it's obvious that Miss Xiyue knows Yan Shao's seat well!" ”
The topic returned to Xiyue.
Qin Shuyao, who thought that he had nothing to do, didn't react, but bent over and saluted Huai Yanqing again, as if he was defending himself and begging the adults to see.
"That means it has nothing to do with you." Huai Yanqing's attitude at this time was completely wavering, and he looked at Xiyue and said, "Then you two will take a rest, and Xiyue will step forward." ”
Qin Shuyao took a step forward as he spoke.
These riotous operations simply shocked the big teeth of the officials behind them.
What the hell is this person doing?
Play?
"Miss Xiyue." Unexpectedly, at this time, Huai Yanqing suddenly became serious, not as cynical as Fang Cai, and asked very seriously, "Regarding what happened that day, I hope the girl can tell us again." ”
Xiyue, on the other hand, nodded and began to write about what happened that day.
There is information about Yan Shao himself, in fact, Huai Yanqing sent someone to reveal it to Qin Shuyao after hearing about it in Tongquetai, after all, Qin Shuyao has only been Xiyue for one day.
And now, it is the battlefield between Huai Yanqing and Qin Shuyao.
Or rather, the stage.
Qin Shuyao deliberately changed his writing habits, and with so many pages sprinkled with all these pages, those behind him felt a little headache when they saw it.
After writing, Qin Shuyao raised his hands and presented the page.
But Huai Yanqing's face was lazy: "There are too many words, Lotus, read them to this king!" ”
Although she didn't know what the prince was doing, Lianhua still did it, took the many pages in Miss Xiyue's hand, and began to read it to Huai Yanqing while recognizing it.
Yan Shao has a lot of quirks, and he shows a lot of them in the Tongque Terrace.
Except for Xiyue, every time I pick a girl, I have to pick something I haven't seen before.
He would also ask the girl if she had ever read a book, and ask her to help her write letters.
I don't eat vegetables, and I like to grab meat with my hands, so I wipe my hands before eating every time.
"Stop." When Lianhua read this, she suddenly stopped, and instead set her eyes on Yue Wenhui next to her.
"Lord Yue, this king has a question for you." As he spoke, Huai Yanqing set his eyes on Yue Wenhui's body.
Yue Wenhui clenched his fists: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”
"You and Yan Shao went to drink and talk about it that day, why didn't you wipe your hands?"
Yue Wenhui felt that what Huai Yanqing said was nonsense: "Go back to the prince, because the minister eats with chopsticks." ”
"Is there anything worth getting started with that day's meat dishes?"
Yue Wenhui was stunned for a moment and replied: "There is a chicken, but the minister thinks that it is too impartial to start directly, so he has always used chopsticks,"
"But Yan Shao did eat it with his hands."
Yue Wenhui also remembered this incident, and he even thought that Yan Shao was looking down on him.
"That Yan Shao's main family is also from an official eunuch, so he knows that he is sitting in front of an official in the state capital, why do he still eat with his hands?"
The question Huai Yanqing asked was something that no one noticed at all.
"This king has been looking for a few of Yan Shao's friends in the past few days."
Yan Shao is still very famous in the state capital, and if you inquire casually, you will know which young master he has a good relationship with, Gu Zhongjing is in charge of this matter, and specially found these young masters to ask.
"This king learned that Yan Shao never eats with chopsticks." Huai Yanqing said, "Because he had a very serious stroke when he was a child, although his brain is flexible, his hands are shaking all the time, and he can't be cured." ”
"Moreover, because he is in a family of eunuchs, he has to maintain etiquette no matter what, but Yan Shao has to get started because of his own reasons, so he ......"
Huai Yanqing looked around and sold a pass.
"So what?"
Yue Wenhui didn't know what Huai Yanqing meant.
"If someone wants to harm Yan Shao, then they must use a method that targets Yan Shao, and they can be 100% sure that they will definitely kill him."
Huai Yanqing smiled: "And Yan Shao, because he doesn't need chopsticks, he is also the only one who needs to wipe his hands to eat in the Qinglou." ”
"I can't use chopsticks because I'm sick, and wiping my hands is a matter of upbringing."
This is clear.
"And why did that poison only poison Yan Shao and didn't take Master Yue away by the way, it means that this medicine is not in the wine, nor in the wine glass, but in Yan Shao's hands."
"In other words, poison is a person who is familiar with Yan Shao and knows that Yan Shao has this problem, so he put the poison on Yan Shao's handkerchief to wipe his hands."
This is the conclusion reached by Huai Yanqing.
The audience was stunned.
No one expected that the situation would be like this.
"And the person who prepares the handkerchief and hands it to Yan Shao is a lotus."
"So, even if Lotus doesn't know about it, this poison was handed over by Lotus after all, and it's an unwitting accomplice."
"Xiyue and Qiuhong, not guilty, should be released."
Hearing Huai Yanqing's final verdict, Lianhua's whole face turned pale and fell into great fear.
Qiu Hong cried with joy, and Xiyue took a long sigh of relief and kowtowed to Huai Yanqing.
No one expected that the final thing would be a story of blame.
"Someone!" Huai Yanqing was shocked, "Let Lianhua girl go back and rest!" Send Miss Xiyue and Miss Qiuhong away! ”
With Huai Yanqing's order, a few officials came up, took these girls up from the ground, and led them to the direction where they should go.
As for Qin Shuyao, dressed in women's clothes, he was sent to the door by the officials, and was supported by Qiu Hong, and the two of them walked together in the direction of Tongquetai.
"Miss Xiyue, we have to tell our mother when we go back, Lotus is still in prison!" Qiu Hong couldn't tell whether she was sad or crying with joy at this time, and pulled Qin Shuyao to wipe her tears constantly.
Qin Shuyao nodded, but after the two turned into a small alley, he gently raised his hand.
Syllable!
The hand knife slashed at Qiu Hong's neck, and the little girl, who was already soft and weak, fainted and fell into Qin Shuyao's arm.
"I'm sorry." This was the first time Qin Shuyao had spoken in his own voice in so many days, and he sounded very hoarse, obviously a little speechless because he hadn't spoken for too long.
After putting Qiu Hong down, Qin Shuyao took advantage of no one's attention to put her on the edge of the alley, and he took off the eye-catching purple robe on his body, turned a corner and disappeared near the alley.
Finally escaped this identity, without further ado, Qin Shuyao went around a big circle and returned to his house from the back door.
Lin Jinxiu was still taking Lele for a walk in the backyard, when a woman in a gorgeous dress suddenly fell from behind coldly, and almost shouted out.
"Miss Lin." Qin Shuyao greeted Lin Jinxiu.
Lin Jinxiu stroked her chest with her hand and smiled: "Brother Yao, you scared me to death...... You're back, so that means that Yan Qing has proven your innocence? ”
Qin Shuyao nodded.
"You go back and clean up and get some rest." Lin Jinxiu understood that the first thing Qin Shuyao wanted to do was to quickly change Xiyue's clothes, and did not talk to him much, but urged him to hurry back to the room, and at the same time asked the maids of the Qin Mansion to boil some water for their master.
Qin Shuyao said thank you: "Miss Lin, please ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jinxiu heard Qin Shuyao's stomach ring, this Qin Shuyao, who could still maintain his chic appearance even after being locked up in the prison for so many days, was visibly embarrassed by the naked eye after all.
"Okay!" Now Lin Jinxiu knew what Qin Shuyao wanted to do, and said with a smile, "Brother Yao, you go to rest, I'll go make some food now, and I'll bring it to you later!" ”
Saying that, Lin Jinxiu ran in the direction of the kitchen.
For a person like Qin Shuyao who hasn't eaten anything for several days, although Lin Jinxiu can cook a lot of things, but after thinking about it, he still needs to make something light to relieve his stomach.
On the way, Lin Jinxiu also met Uncle Chen, who saw that this little girl was in a hurry, and reminded her to be careful so as not to fall.
Lin Jinxiu had a smile on her face, and said to Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, Brother Yao has come back and is resting in his room, I'll make some food when he's hungry!" ”
"It's good to be back." When Uncle Chen heard what Lin Jinxiu said, his heart that had been hanging for the past few days finally fell.
Regardless of the circumstances of the case, as long as the person can come back safely.
"Don't bother Miss Lin, I'll just let the kitchen do it." Uncle Chen continued.
