Concubine Zhen married Li Shaowu as a side concubine when she was sixteen years old, and she has been even more favored over the years, she has her own means, and there are not a few people who naturally offend, plus Zuo Xiangling's appearance of wanting to tell her something extraneous, she understands everything.

"Go out and wait."

After finishing speaking, the palace maids in the house all retreated, and Concubine Zhen's anger gradually subsided and sat back on the edge of the bed, looking at Zuo Xiangling with deep eyes.

Zuo Xiangling looked towards the door, and Concubine Zhen frowned slightly and said.

"Don't worry, they don't have the courage to listen to the corner, just say what they have to say."

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Xiangling replied.

"Snake repellent grass has been planted around this bamboo house early, not only is it expected that Jiangnan, but also Tiannanxing, which is known as the 'snake destroying the door', plus this Tiannanxing, I don't think there will be snakes willing to enter the house.

What's more, the house was built at a height of one foot above the ground, so that no snake would want to be in the house unless something was attracting it.

It can be seen that this snake must have been deliberately put in. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Xiangling raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Zhen, only to see that Concubine Zhen's eyes were burning, and she had a posture of not giving up until the murderer was arrested, Zuo Xiangling continued.

"Moreover, this person is among the palace maids accompanying me, and I have a plan here to find out who this person is, but I still need your cooperation."

Even if it is proved that this matter is not about the resort, let alone her own business, Zuo Xiangling still can't stay out of the matter, because only by finding out the real murderer, she and the villa are really innocent.

Besides, now is only half an hour before the incident, and it is the best time to catch the murderer, otherwise it will not be so easy to catch people when the murderer is destroyed and destroyed.

"If you go and do it, this palace will cooperate."

Concubine Zhen glanced at Zuo Xiangling angrily, and Zuo Xiangling turned around and opened the door.

"Come in, all of you."

Immediately afterwards, he stood at the door and began to count the number of palace maids who entered the house, and when everyone came in, Zuo Xiangling said a few words to Linglong, and Linglong immediately nodded and ran out.

I have to say that Concubine Zhen is favored, but she only traveled a few dozen miles, and she brought dozens of maids, and it was also a big trick to say that Yuzhu caused trouble.

"Why are there only eleven people, I just saw that there are still thirteen people, where did the remaining two go?"

Among these two people, Yuzhu's personal palace maid Xiao'e was missing, and Zuo Xiangling felt that her suspicion instantly became the biggest.

"Just now, Xiaozi suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, Xiao'e accompanied her to the thatched house, and she should be back soon."

One of the palace maids looked at the rest of the people, and then said to Zuo Xiangling.

Zuo Xiangling nodded and began to talk about the content of her plan.

"I think everyone knows about Princess Yuzhu being bitten by a snake, and I have proven to Concubine Zhen that someone did it on purpose, and this person is among the people who serve Niangniang and the princess.

In order to celebrate the suspicion of everyone present, I can only ask everyone to cooperate with my investigation.

Later, Linglong will bring something to test whether everyone has ever touched the snake, and everyone only needs to put their hands into the pot and fully touch the powder inside.

As long as you have not been in contact with the snake, there will be no traces of the reaction between the snake liquid and the powder on your hands, on the contrary, the person with the traces is the murderer, and everyone can clear the suspicion. ”

As she spoke, Linglong had already come in with a copper basin containing black powder.

"Let's get started." 117

Seeing that Xiao'e and Xiaozi walked into the house, and saw that everyone was reaching out into the basin one by one, they asked the nearest palace maid, and then stood nervously at the end of the line.

Looking at Xiao'e's feet that kept pacing gently, Zuo Xiangling whispered to Linglong.

"Look at that Xiao'e, don't let her run away later."

Although Linglong didn't understand Zuo Xiangling's intentions, she still nodded obediently, and then stared at Xiao'e, maybe her eyes were too hot, which made Xiao'e feel a little uncomfortable, and the whole person began to get nervous.

The people in front of them put their hands into the basin, and then stood in the middle of the house, standing in two neat teams.

When the last Xiao'e and Xiaozi stretched out their hands, Zuo Xiangling turned around and nodded to Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen solemnly looked at Zuo Xiangling and nodded heavily, and then Zuo Xiangling turned to look at the palace maids in the house.

After looking back and forth twice, he said slowly.

"You can turn your hands over."

Just after letting them reach out and touch the powder in the basin, Zuo Xiangling asked them to stand with their hands raised, and no one was standing with their palms down and the backs of their hands up.

Now, it's time to reveal what you really want.

"How so?!"

After seeing his own hands, the palace maids present began to discuss, not turning their hands back and forth, just looking at their own is not enough, and they also took the hands of the people beside them and began to look.

"Quiet."

couldn't stand their noise, Zuo Xiangling shouted in a deep voice, and the scene immediately returned to quiet.

"Concubine Zhen, the result is obvious."

Zuo Xiangling shrugged her shoulders and turned around again.

When she saw that her hands were white, Xiaozi breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw that everyone else present was a pair of black hands, she panicked.

"How dare you?!"

Concubine Zhen couldn't believe it, looked back and forth several times, and after confirming that she didn't recognize the wrong person, she strode forward a few steps, stretched out her hand and slapped her several times, directly knocking Xiaozi to the ground, and when Xiaozi raised her eyes again, the corners of her mouth were already bleeding.

But Concubine Zhen was gasping for breath with anger, and she had the posture of coming back after a while.

Looking at the puzzled people in front of him, Zuo Xiangling explained softly.

"That's right, first of all, I want to congratulate all the people with black palms, you are innocent, and in the same way, this Xiaozi is the murderer.

Maybe you don't understand why I just said that people with hands that have not changed color are innocent, but now the murderer has become a person with white hands, I think everyone already knows the reason.

This man is a thief and does not dare to touch this powder, so his heart is clean, in fact, this powder is nothing, just ordinary pot ashes, so everyone's palms will be black.

Now that the murderer has been found, I am inconvenient for the next thing, so I will bother Concubine Zhen. ”

Zuo Xiangling turned around and saluted Concubine Zhen, and then walked out of the room quickly.

When she walked out of the room to usher in a cool breeze, Zuo Xiangling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally solved it, fortunately, this person is really stupid, otherwise she really can't get rid of her crimes.

Walking out of the distance, you can see the slap figure printed on the window paper, Zuo Xiangling couldn't help but smack her tongue, this Concubine Zhen is really not as amiable as she looks on the surface, but a master with a needle in her smile, it seems that she will have to walk around less with Concubine Zhen in the future, otherwise she doesn't know what trouble she will cause herself.
