Chapter 104: Unkindness and Injustice
Chang Fu's eyes were full of horror, he turned his head away, and refused to do it.
Mei Xiaoren instructed the little guy standing next to him: "You guys, take a hand." ”
The little servants would not just listen to Mei Xiaoren's orders, they all looked at Bishop Zhou in the hall, and waited for the bishop to speak.
Mei Xiaoren's play has been staged here, and it is not difficult for the gentlemen present to see that this little guy is strange, and they can't help but wonder what kind of magic medicine is so valuable, so they followed and looked at Bishop Zhou.
Bishop Zhou finally nodded. The two little guys stepped forward and held Chang Fu one left and one right, and Mei Xiaoren took the opportunity to stick the porcelain bottle to the corner of Chang Fu's mouth, with a posture of wanting to pour him to drink.
Chang Fu struggled desperately, "I don't drink I don't drink this is poison"
He said something in a panic, so that the people in the hall could hear it clearly.
Mei Xiaoren didn't have much evidence in his hands, and what he lacked the most was the testimony of human witnesses, and most of these witnesses were people around Wen Bin, so it was not easy for them to speak.
Now she has no power, she can't scare anyone and torture anyone, but people will only tell the truth when they are in danger, or they are forced to shake out their accomplices because they are eager to get rid of their crimes, so she has to use the trick of framing to set a trap for Chang Fuzuan.
Mei Xiaoren glanced at Liu Wu. Liu Wu understood, and then said to the palace: "Little Liu Wu, I have seen all the adults, and the small ones often resell some things that cannot be sold on weekdays in order to seek food and clothing, such as a poison called "Heart Erosion". Pointing at Chang Fu again, "This poison was what he bought from the villain last time." ”
Bishop Zhou immediately asked: "What are you buying poison for?"
Chang Fu shrunk his neck and said, "It's the son's order, and the little one doesn't know what to do." ”
When asked this, everyone thought that they should ask Gongzi Wen next, but who knew that the person Mei Xiaoren asked Bishop Zhou to send was not Wen Bin, but another subordinate.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, but the trial is different, compared to the mastermind of the agency, his minions are the targets that are easy to be attacked.
This is Mei Xiaoren's experience.
When the second witness was brought in, everyone was taken aback, for there were very few women in the college, and they seldom appeared in front of the gentlemen.
Sister-in-law Cui, a witness discovered by Mei Xiaoren by chance, or can be called an accomplice.
Sister-in-law Cui usually revolves around the pot in the back kitchen, she has never seen such a big scene, and after coming in, she buried her head and greeted the adults.
Mei Xiaoren didn't say a word, threw the kitchen knife and Su Li's sword that Sister-in-law Cui used on weekdays into the hall, and then asked Bishop Zhou to find someone who knew weapons to take a look.
Speaking of which, she had to thank the person who drove Ye Zhi away from the canteen that day, otherwise she wouldn't have accompanied Ye Zhi to the place where the next person was eating, and she wouldn't have learned about Sister-in-law Cui's knife work.
Wen Bin wants to cut Su Li's sword, which is easier said than done. During that time, everyone was practicing diligently, and the sword rarely left his body, and he stole Su Li's sword blade before the competition, and he didn't have time to take it to the bottom of the mountain to find a craftsman to help, so he had to find someone in the academy who could barely know it.
Sister-in-law with good knife skills is the first choice.
Previously, Mei Xiaoren saw Sister-in-law Cui and Chang Fu frowning, and guessed that Sister-in-law Cui might be involved, so she asked Bishop Zhou for a sword to take a closer look.
Although sharpening a kitchen knife is similar to cutting a sword, it arrives
The bottom is a different craft, using the method of sharpening the knife to cut the blade, even if it is sharp, it is also a little nondescript, such as uneven cutting surfaces on the blade, uneven lines, and so on.
After reading it, the connoisseur also said that the person who opened the sword did not know the technique of cutting at all, and this person was more like a cook with excellent knife skills.
Mei Xiaoren took the opportunity to ask: "Sister-in-law Cui, what benefits did Gongzi Wen give you, you have to help him sharpen his sword and quench the poison upwards"
Sister-in-law Cui looked aggrieved: "Mei Gongzi, this is your fault, I am not the only one with good knife skills in the academy, how can you wronged me for grinding." She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and sighed, "What's more, I'm just a humble cook, where can I climb the top of Wen Gongzi, let alone do things for Wen Gongzi, even if I can't take a second look at it on weekdays." ”
Mei Xiaoren shook his head and said unhurriedly: "You are too modest, although you don't dare to look at Wen Gongzi more, but Wen Gongzi can be worried about you, not only about you, but also about Ling Lang." ”
After she finished speaking, she took out a page of letterhead and lit it in front of Sister-in-law Cui, and said: "This is a letter of recommendation written by Gongzi Wen for Ling Lang, recommending Ling Lang to the Lord Zhizhou to study at the Jinzhou Official School." ”
Sister-in-law Cui will accept her silver, and naturally she is also used to receiving benefits from others, and in Sister-in-law Cui's opinion, more important than silver is her son's future.
She quietly went down the mountain before, in addition to going to the government prison to persuade Liu Wu to speak, she also went to explore the secret of Cui's sister-in-law's son's official school.
She just asked, and Lord Zhizhou gave her this important physical evidence, perhaps for Chu Yu's sake.
"Mei Gongzi, where did you get this?"
"Naturally, it was given by Lord Zhizhou." Mei Xiaoren looked at Sister-in-law Cui, "Ling Lang relied on the support of Shangshu Mansion to be able to enter the official school to study, if you say that this letter is not from the hand of Wen Gongzi, then you are deceiving Lord Zhizhou, and Ling Lang's future may be ruined today." ”
Sister-in-law Cui said in a panic: "Of course this letter was written by Gongzi Wen"
"Crazy woman, don't frame my son-in-law, how can my son-in-law write a letter for the son of a village woman for you." Chang Fu scolded.
A sneer curled into Sister-in-law's lips. On weekdays, when these people molested her, they said things that were good to hear, but now when it came to the moment of saving her life, she became a crazy woman
If he is unkind, then don't blame her for being unjust.
Sister-in-law Cui stared at Chang Fu and laughed: "I framed me is not a condition that you negotiated with me, let me help you sharpen your sword"
"What are you talking nonsense" Chang Fu became angry and became more and more anxious, "When did I let you sharpen your sword, obviously it was Zhao Hai who instructed you, you don't pour dirty water on Lao Tzu"
Mei Xiaoren grasped this key point and asked: "Zhao Hai Wu Gongzi's minion"
Sister-in-law Cui was stunned, and hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's not Zhao Hai's business, it was Chang Fu who instructed me, he not only asked me to sharpen my sword, but also asked me to smear poison on it, he wanted to use this sword to kill" She pointed at Chang Fu angrily and spit it out in one breath.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised, because Sister-in-law Cui's words were really shocking.
Bishop Zhou's face was so gloomy that the other gentlemen did not dare to say anything, lest they provoke the bishop's anger.
The hall was quiet, and suddenly there was a "bang", and the door of the main hall was pushed open suddenly.
Wen Bin Tie stood in front of the door with a blue face, raised his hand and pointed directly at the person standing in the center of the hall, his eyes were like torches, "Okay, you Mei Xiaoren, you dare to falsely accuse this son here"
