Chapter 52: Self-preservation

The spring twilight of the house, the bamboo fence thatched cottage cloud mountain altogether, the pear blossom moon dissolves.

Ye Rong gestured, and Yu Wen translated for him: "You all get up first." In that case, let's go to the Lady's House. ”

"General, slow." Su Minqiu said, "The matter is serious, we still let the people from the government carry out all the actions, so as not to be unconvinced by the prime minister." ”

These words are in Yu Wen's heart, she is also afraid that the prime minister will lose his daughter's heartache, and she will die with Ye Rong or something. Moreover, she didn't want to be called to the palace to be whipped.

After Ye Rong agreed, the two little guys around him quickly left to ask the people from the government to come over. They waited in place for a while before they waited for two servants and a fast shift official sent by Jing Zhaoyin.

After explaining the situation, the two servants stayed behind to examine the corpse, while Yu Wen, Ye Rong, Su Minqiu and the catcher quickly moved to Yu Wen's room first.

Worried that it would not be enough to catch one person, Yu Wen wanted people to go up to help find the earrings, but was stopped by Su Minqiu: "Madam, let the official come alone, now whoever meddles is suspected." ”

So the three of them stood at the door of the room, staring together at the sweaty servant who was rummaging left and right. Yu Wen is not in a hurry, he will definitely find it.

"Here!" Catch quickly found an earring under the soft couch and presented it to Ye Rong to see. Compared with the one in Su Minqiu's hand, it is exactly the same.

Yu Wen said: "That day, Yueqiao did only lose one earring, and the rest was put away when she saw that the other half was gone." ”

Seeing Su Minqiu clenching the two jade earrings in his hand, Yu Wen made persistent efforts: "Moreover, how can anyone drop a pair?" I think it was deliberately placed there. ”

"No, it's not." Su Minqiu shouted, "How could it be that someone deliberately put it there?" ”

"This is going to ask Mrs. Su." Yu Wen didn't say much to her, and looked at Ye Rong, "Ah Rong, can you prove that I'm innocent now?" Pity my Yueqiao, and be framed by others. ”

Yueqiao felt Yu Wen's compassionate gaze, and his shoulders shook again. But she stood behind her, and no one noticed it except for the afterglow.

Ye Rong nodded, gesticulated, and said, "I will definitely find out who is bold enough to poison Concubine Tan's food and want to blame you." ”

Yu Wen nodded gratefully, took Ye Rong's arm, and used the "coquettish" skill to him: "I'm so scared, Ah Rong, you have to protect me." ”

I felt a chill in my heart, but Ye Rong's stupid smile showed that he was very fond of this.

"Adults, little ones have already experienced it." Two servants walked in to report, "A little arsenic was found in the rice used by Concubine Tan. ”

Ha, arsenic again, can this poison be a little more diversified. Yu Wen thought, she hadn't seen anything like wine, broken intestine grass, and Gu worms.

Ye Rong ordered someone to fetch his wooden board and pen and paper, and during this period, Su Minqiu and Yu Wen spoke almost all.

Su Minqiu looked frightened: "So, Concubine Tan was really poisoned." Who is it, who is so vicious? ”

Yu Wen almost couldn't hold back a smile when he heard her contrived question: "Is there anything else to say?" ”

One of them said: "Concubine Tan's face is hideous, she should have struggled or shouted before she died." However, there were no traces of fighting or pulling on her body, so it could be determined that she had eaten the poison herself, and no one coerced or forced her. ”

After they finished speaking, they went back with the catcher to resume their lives.

"That's weird." Su Minqiu clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth, "What about the maid in Tan's concubine's room?" ”

The two maids were called in, and Su Minqiu asked, "Where were you when Concubine Tan was eating?" ”

"Just by her side."

"Concubine Tan shouted, why didn't you rush out and find someone to help?"

She ...... She told us not to go out and alarm others. ”

"Why?"

Yu Wen and Su Minqiu both became nervous, knowing that Tan Biluo was likely to say some last words, which would be detrimental to one of the two of them.

"Concubine Tan's face was painful, and she said, 'Madame wants me to die, and I have no power to fight back, so it's better to do what she wants'. Then she clenched her teeth and didn't say a word, and the slaves could only watch Concubine Tan roll on the ground. ”

Yu Wen's eyes were cracked, this Tan Biluo, he was going to kick her when he was dying! I'm going to hurt you, but I'm not the one who killed you tonight.

The corners of Su Minqiu's mouth hooked up a smile of victory, but the next words of the two maids made her smile stiff.

"But when Concubine Tan was hanging her last breath, she lay on the ground and saw something like a jade earring, and her face immediately became frightened."

The other maid continued: "Her eyes widened, and when she said the words 'Su Minqiu' on her lips, she choked her breath......"

"The slaves and maids panicked, so they forgot to report the jade earrings as soon as possible, but fortunately they were found by Su Niangzi later."

Yu Wen made up his brain, maybe Su Minqiu had shown Tan Biluo this earring before, and told her, "You can use it to frame Mrs. Blame in the future." Well, it is likely that after Tan Biluo was slandered because of a hairpin, Su Minqiu found this earring and pretended to help her return a tooth for a tooth.

Tan Biluo, Tan Biluo, you have believed in Su Minqiu's white lotus for so long, and in the end you still died in her hands.

Yu Wen sighed, she was not familiar with Tan Biluo, and the other party's arrogant and scheming character was not plump, so she hit the street like this.

It can also show how ruthless Su Minqiu is.

So she firmly grasped Tan Biluo's last three-word last words: "Su Niangzi, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

"How could it be ......" Su Minqiu hurriedly attacked Yu Wen, "Concubine Tan herself understands that you are going to harm her, so she gave up struggling." ”

"Then how could you call out Su Niangzi's name in horror after seeing the jade earrings?" Yu Wen didn't show any timidity, "In my opinion, it was because that earring made her realize that the murderer had always trusted you, so she was so shocked!" ”

"You ......"

There was a lot of noise here, but the people who went out to return to their lives were coming back soon. This time, only Catch Kuai came in and said, "Lord Jing Zhaoyin means that the general will be in charge of the affairs of the general's mansion." ”

It's a tricky matter, so I can't wait to shirk responsibility. Yu Wen thought, maybe the government did not participate, but it would be beneficial to her, the mother of the general's house. The prime minister's side, let's see the move when the time comes.

Ye Rong, who got the pen and paper, wrote and sent the catcher away, and then turned around and wrote to them: "Don't make any noise." ”

Yu Wen and Su Minqiu stopped their voices and saw what Ye Rong was going to do.

"Ask the people in the kitchen first."

What is very funny is that tonight's trial process is exactly the same as Yu Wen's first investigation, they are all asking questions, and after asking questions, a maid comes out crying and confessing.

But it's still a little different, it shouldn't have been that Yu Wen could escape the trapping of Yue Richai, so Su Minqiu didn't let the maid say, "It's all made by Mrs.", but "I have a long-standing grudge against Concubine Tan, and this time it's revenge."

Yu Wen smiled, Su Minqiu was careless, but the momentary pride allowed her to escape again. At her advance signal, no one could interrupt the maid's explanation. So Yu Wen saw that with the crying of the maidservant, Su Minqiu's face became darker and darker.

Is it that the intestines are all repentant? Yu Wen joked badly.

Tan Biluo's last words were even more ridiculously distorted by Yu Wen and Su Minqiu, who were pregnant with ghosts, as a frame-up for the two.

It was getting late, and the "real murderer" was also found, so that the servant girl was killed with a cane on the spot, and Yu Wen and the others went back to their rooms and slept separately. Concubine Tan's body remained in her room, covered with a white cloth, and no one cared for it that night.
