Chapter 120: The Case of Qixiang 18

Jing Zhao Yin said majestically: "Bring the housekeeper!" ”

"Slow down, adult!" Yan Mo stopped, "Previously, we have been focusing on the manservant, but now there is no evidence to prove that the butler was involved, except for suspicions, if he is really guilty, direct arraignment will only startle the snake!" ”

"Please also show the princess." Jing Zhao Yin said respectfully.

Yan Mo: "If the person behind the scenes is really a housekeeper... Why did he blame Fang Gongzi? Why was the valet notified to escape? The manservant called the Ecstasy incense again... What kind of relationship is there between the three of them..."

"Interrogate them separately, maybe there will be new discoveries!" The prince proposed.

"Interrogate the man, as long as he testifies..."Qi Ming pondered, "The butler can't escape the involvement..."

“... But the manservant is so wooden... Is his testimony convincing? And maybe, the housekeeper will try his best to justify himself and shirk his responsibilities... There must be ironclad evidence..."Yan Mo pondered, "Lord Fu Yin, I want to see Mrs. Xiangling!" ”

Under the leadership of Jing Zhaoyin, Yan Mo came to prison, followed by the prince, Qi Ming, Lan Bo, and Aoki Hui.

Waiting for the jailer to open the prison door, Yan Mo bent down and entered, "Mrs. Xiangling, I have something to ask you." ”

Xiangling lowered her eyebrows and saluted, "Girl, may I ask." ”

Yan Mo: "When did you enter the Fang Mansion, and how old were you at that time?" ”

Xiangling: "Five years ago, I was fifteen years old. ”

Yan Mo: "How old was Fang Gongzi at that time?" ”

Xiangling: "Hmm... Eighteen years old. ”

Yan Mo: "How much do you know about housekeepers?" ”

"Hmm..."Xiangling thought for a moment and said, "The one who has the most contact with the housekeeper is Qingyu, the concubine only knows that the housekeeper has been in the mansion for many years, and he has always managed it well, whether it is the concubines or Liulang's various needs, he has everything in need... In the five years since the concubine entered the palace, she has not seen her father-in-law a few times... The affairs of the house are all handled by the housekeeper, and the Fang Mansion cannot be separated from the housekeeper..."

Yan Mo: "In this way, he is a delicate person... What is the relationship between Fang Gongzi and the housekeeper? ”

Xiangling: "A few years ago, Liulang would always talk to the housekeeper when he had something, but in recent years, Liulang only likes to stay with his concubines, and the housekeeper has repeatedly persuaded Liulang to learn to govern the business in the house... Rokuro didn't think so, and the butler tried to get rid of us, but Rokuro didn't want to, and from then on... The two of them are not as talkative as before..."

"Mrs. Xie tells you!" After saying that, he went out and went straight to the manservant's cell, and the others followed.

Yan Mo ordered someone to bring the raw materials and incense-making tools for the incense, put them in front of the manservant, and called the medical officer to check his pulse.

After the medical officer diagnosed the pulse, he said: "If you go back to the princess Niangniang, this person's pulse is normal, and there is no sign of incense." ”

Yan Mo frowned, recalling that in the vegetable market, the manservant sprinkled incense to ward off the enemy, and there was no sign that he had incense in the whole process, did he also have a defensive sachet?

Yan Mo said to the jailer: "Bring everything you have collected from him." ”

"Yes!" The jailer took the order and ran away.

"Do you know you're going to die?" Yan Mo bent down into the prison and said coldly.

The manservant hung his head, raised his eyes and peeked a few times, then nodded stunned.

Yan Mo: "Why did you run away? ”

Manservant: "... Someone is going to arrest me..."

Yan Mo: "Who told you that someone was going to arrest you?" ”

"......," the manservant whispered, glancing at Yan Mo, "I killed someone... Someone will catch me... Just run away! ”

Yan Mo narrowed his eyes: "How is the housekeeper treating you?" ”

“... Good... The housekeeper won't scold me, won't beat me... Will buy me clothes..."The manservant said with half of his face covered.

Yan Mo: "What about the young master?" ”

Manservant: "... The young master beats people! Bad! ”

Yan Mo thought of the current reaction of those dismembered girls and manservants, and couldn't help but sour his nose, and said even more coldly: "Did the young master beat you before?" ”

Manservant: "Before... The young master ignores people... I'm going to put the spices and light the incense..."

"Use these spices to make a fan!" Yan Mo pushed the spice in front of the manservant and ordered.

The manservant hesitated for a moment, clumsily picked up the spices and began to spice them, his movements lacked precision, the spice powder would always spill out, and the selected raw materials did not conform to the incense recipe... He used only a spoon and no other tools...

Yan Mo took Chengxiang and showed it to Aoki Hui, and when she saw that the other party shook her head, she turned around and said, "No, match it again!" ”

After repeating this three or five times, the incense that the manservant matched was different every time, obviously he didn't know how to match the incense...

Yan Mo: "Where did your incense come from?" ”

Manservant: "I stole it... The young master's incense..."

Yan Mo suddenly thought that Fang Liulang had a misty incense, and the manservant had always called the ecstasy incense a misty incense, and it was likely that he couldn't tell the difference between the two kinds of incense at all.

At this time, the jailer took the manservant's belongings, Yan Mo walked out of the prison door, and began to investigate...

Among them were two bottles of Ecstasy Jar and a packet of broken silver, and a few changes of clothes, because the manservant had been exposed to spices for many years, and there was a mixed fragrance on the clothes, and there was nothing resembling a defense sachet.

Yan Mo asked Lan Bo: "What are the ingredients of defensive incense?" ”

Lan Bo: "Take sandalwood as a guide, supplemented with perilla, milk, leek, frankincense, and lemon leaves." ”

"Brother Aoki, if you smell it, you might be able to tell what kind of fragrance it is?" Yan Mo picked up a piece of clothing and handed it to Aoki Huidao.

Aoki Hui sniffed carefully: "Except for frankincense and a little lime, the other scents are too mixed, I'm not sure..."

Lan Bo: "Lime incense can replace lemon leaves, princess, frankincense and lime incense alone can already resist the effect of some ecstasy incense, not to mention that if you wear this intimate clothing for a long time, the spice will be absorbed by the human body." ”

Hearing this, Yan Mo pulled Aoki Hui into the cell, approached and sniffed the manservant's clothes... Seeing that Prince Ci and Qi Ming both wanted to stop it but it was too late, the brothers could only frown and sigh...

Yan Mo: "... Except for the smell of sweat... I can't smell anything..."

Teru Aoki: "Hmm... A slight sweet and sour aroma, faintly... It is almost certain that the defense comes from clothing. ”

Yan Mo thought about how to make the housekeeper show his feet...

Aoki Hui: "The big boss, the manservant doesn't know how to match incense... Defensive incense can only come from the one who gives it..."

Hearing this, Yan Mo had a wit, exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "It seems that we are going to play a show again!" Lord Fu Yin, where is the housekeeper placed? ”

Jing Zhaoyin: "In the lounge in the backyard, he suffered a head wound and should not move..."

"That's right, when we go out, everyone will pretend to be Ecstasy incense, let the jailer shout, and the valet will escape, and he still has Ecstasy incense on him! Pick someone who is about the same size as him and change into clothes..."Yan Mo pointed to the manservant, picked up a bottle of ecstasy incense and said, "Use this incense to stun the housekeeper." ”

"Yes." Jing Zhao Yin said.

After a while, in the lounge in the backyard, the housekeeper was resting on the bed, and suddenly heard a noise outside, and when he opened his eyes, he heard the shouts of the officials...

"Quick! The valet escaped! He still has ecstasy incense on his hands! Everyone's heart!! Everyone, follow me to hunt down!! ”

"Yes! Yes!! ”

"Ahh

"Hold your breath!! Yes!! ”

After just a few breaths, it was quiet outside...

The housekeeper got up slowly, came to the door, opened a crack tremblingly, and saw the white smoke curling outside, he quickly clenched the necklace sachet under the placket!!

The valet appeared at the door! Then came a handful of incense powder!!

The housekeeper quickly closed the door and latched, took out the sachet and sniffed it vigorously!! He frantically searched for the window, muttering to himself, how did the man escape?!! He saw that it was still clear outside the window, so he quickly climbed the window!! The housekeeper who finally escaped held his head, and after taking a few steps, he saw a few people walking sluggishly, which was a sign of ecstasy!

"It's the other way around!" The housekeeper said nervously, "I'm addicted to killing!" He cautiously passed the people who were advancing through the machine, and found that it was Jing Zhaoyin and several nobles, and he blocked his nose with a necklace sachet and moved towards the gate...

The sluggish Yan Mo slowly turned his head, and one crossed his body! A few steps, flying through the air, quietly stopped in the front yard, waiting for the housekeeper, the white mist slowly surrounded her...

Qi Ming and the crown prince followed, standing still not far from the white mist, the two cooperated to roll up a wind of internal force, King Xing followed the two elder brothers, helping to roll up a whirlwind, and the white mist of ecstasy incense was dissipating...

The butler stopped as he ran, because he saw that Zhongxiang's official errand was either falling to the ground, standing still or delirious, crying and laughing wildly, and there was a tall figure not far away blocking the road!!

Yan Mo took out the defense sachet and shook it, and said, "They have all been hit by the Ecstasy incense, I have this to stay awake, why don't you have the incense, butler?" ”

Lan Bo led the "manservant" to come, and the butler looked back and saw that the man was not a manservant!

"That's right, he's not, but the clothes on his body are those of a valet, but the clothes don't seem to be a little effective, and he also got incense, sit down." Yan Mo took a step forward and ordered the fake manservant, and the other party sat obediently on the ground, his eyes blank.

The butler quietly tried to hide the necklace sachet: "Minion... Slaves are..."

"Bold Servant!!" Jing Zhaoyin stepped out from behind Qi Ming and the crown prince and shouted, "If you don't know the recipe of the Ecstasy incense, where did you get the recipe for the incense?!! Do you still want to quibble? Come! Bring him to the lobby!! ”

The footsteps of the officials were heard in the distance, and they dragged the housekeeper to the lobby!!

After everyone was in place as they were, Jing Zhaoyin was shocked: "Take the manservant and Fang Liulang!" ”

After the personnel arrived, Yan Mo stood in front of the presiding judge's table and said in a cold voice: "Butler of the Fang Mansion, are you or me?" ”

The butler lowered his head and dodged everyone's gaze, silent...

Yan Mo: "Then it's up to me!" Where were you when the valet committed the second crime? ”

Butler: "In... In Fuchu..."

Yan Mo: "Where is the house?" What are you doing? ”

Butler: "In the courtyard... At... In..."

Yan Mo: "At that time, I smelled the incense of ecstasy in the room of Prince Fang, and when the prince and King Yi'an broke into the Fang Mansion, a group of mansion soldiers blocked the door, presumably this is your masterpiece by the housekeeper who governs the mansion all the year round, right?" At the same time, you gave the manservant enough time to commit the crime and help him escape, Fang Gongzi was hit by the ecstasy incense and was unconscious, taking advantage of this, what you do, he can't defend himself, if Fang Gongzi is still the same as the servant when he committed the first murder, just capture a maidservant girl, the ecstasy incense in the room will also infect her, naturally he can't testify, presumably this matter can really be as you wish, Fang Gongzi will become the real murderer of this case. It's a pity that Fang Gongzi caught me, I have a strange Gu in my body, and ordinary poisons and incense have little effect on me, so I have become Fang Gongzi's most favorable alibi. You are in the courtyard, not only can you hear, but you can also see! Seeing that the situation is unstable, you hurriedly inform the valet to escape, in order to cover up that you are the one who made the Ecstasy incense, so that the valet alone can take all the blame! I have to, your scheming is so deep!! ”

"No, it's not! The slave is going to catch the manservant! The butler argued, "I was knocked out by him halfway!" ”

Yan Mo walked up to the manservant and asked, "Have you ever beaten the housekeeper?" ”

When the manservant heard this, he shook his head desperately and said, "You can't fight!" Good housekeeper..."

When the housekeeper heard this, he was shocked!

Yan Mo: "Originally, I thought he was deliberately disguised as a lack of intelligence, but now it seems that Lord Fu Yin is right, the intelligence of the manservant is not like ordinary people, but you definitely didn't expect that even if all this is your guidance behind your back, he still regards you as a good person!" ”

The butler's eyes flickered, and he couldn't argue...

Yan Mo: "In order to create a manservant, you are the person who makes the incense of the Ecstasy, and in order to prevent yourself from being incense, so you buy clothes for the manservant, soak the new clothes with the incense, let him wear it closely, absorb the ingredients of the incense, so that he will not be incense, let him move freely and soberly, and you will escape the suspicion of the mastermind behind the scenes!" ”

"The minions didn't let him kill !!" The butler said with a hideous face, "The slave just gave him ecstasy incense and asked him to light it for the young master!" It's his own bad hand! ”

"......" Yan Mo said in a cold and hard tone, "Why do you want to give Fang Gongzi Ecstasy Incense?!" ”

The housekeeper stabilized his mind and said: "The master is away all the year round, the lady died early, and the young master was almost brought up by a slave!" But he is obsessed with incense and women, and he has nothing to do all day long, and there will be all kinds of joyful sounds in the house from time to time! The minion feels that there is a miasma in the house!! From time to time, the servant also found that the male servant who served close to him would also be affected by the young master and become restless..."He suddenly grieved, "The slave found out that the young master's nose was out of order very early, and tactfully dissuaded him in many ways, but the young master did not listen to the persuasion at all!" There is no way for the minions... Young master shouldn't be like this!! ”

Yan Mo: "Just because he's not your ideal young master?!" ”

"That's right!" The housekeeper choked up and said, "The minion inadvertently got the Ecstasy Grass, so he made the Ecstasy Incense on the basis of the Ecstasy, and the minion wanted to punish him!" I asked the manservant to give him ecstasy incense!! The minion wants the young master to be obedient!! ”

When Fang Liulang heard this, his jaw was about to drop in surprise...

"But the slave doesn't know that the young master won't become a wooden man after the incense, so the slave asked the manservant to increase the measurement, but I didn't expect that the young master actually started to go crazy and beat people, we are all monsters!!" The butler turned numb and said, "But the manservant is very obedient, and the servant will do whatever he tells him to do, let him serve the young master incense, and he will serve the incense diligently." The slave accidentally found out that he liked the girl, so he thought about it, and proposed that he follow Mrs. Qingyu to purchase, and after a few times, he really abducted the girl back, and the slave wanted to frame the young master for infecting the child, so that he could suffer a little blow, and wake up... However, the minion didn't expect it... The valet would... How could it..."

Yan Mo: "You don't care about the safety of those girls and their reputation, in order to punish Fang Gongzi?" ”

Butler: "The slave wanted to put the girl on the bed, but the manservant moved quickly and strangled one of them first..."

"Why didn't you report the crime to the official if you found out that the manservant had committed a crime?!" Yan Mo said sternly!

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The report officer will definitely find out the minions... The minions are still wondering what to do with this... The manservant strangled another one... Later, the slave thought, it's okay, it was him who killed him... Let him bear all the blame! ”

"You are an accomplice!!!" Yan Mo said coldly, "How innocent those children are!" You know that it was the male servant who dismembered them, but you were not moved?!! ”

"Killing Rao is not a minion!!" The housekeeper desperately argued, "Killing Rao is not a minion!!" ”

Yan Mo: "You connived at the manmaid to abduct girls!" It was you who tolerated him to commit murder again!! You killed two lives!! ”
