Chapter 703: Clues Hidden in Small Things
Before Concubine Xian could spit a few mouthfuls of bitter water with King Jie, King Jie interrupted her with a straight face.
"Your son knows that it is not easy, but it is even more difficult for your son than you now."
"What do you say?" Concubine Xian saw that King Jie's expression was wrong, and her heart instantly lifted up.
King Jie took a few steps forward and walked to Concubine Xian's side, and after sitting down beside her, he said: "Mother, my son has done a few things these days, although my son is still in his chest, but my son still needs your help to ensure that these things are foolproof." ”
King Jie has been a child who doesn't have to worry about anything since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is even more famous, which makes Concubine Xian extremely proud.
She rarely saw King Jie look so anxious, so she couldn't help but feel worried, and asked nervously, "What did you do?" As long as the mother concubine can help, the mother concubine will help you even if she fights for her life. ”
King Jie nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This matter can only be invulnerable if the mother concubine and her sons and daughters cooperate with each other." ”
The mother and son talked secretly for nearly an hour before King Jie left.
As soon as King Jie left, Concubine Xian hurriedly drank a bowl of Qinghuo tea, which relieved her irritable and nervous mood a little.
The emperor learned that Wan Lin and Huo Jing had found the person who wrote the secret letter, but after seeing what Wan Lin had presented, the emperor was also a little puzzled.
Yu Wenyao is a rich son, he is preparing for fame, and the people he interacts with on weekdays are all children of wealthy families, if he has some bad habits, how can he have the ability to threaten Fu Xiaojiu to let her bring down the queen, and let people kidnap Wan Lin?
No matter what the emperor thinks, he thinks that Yu Wenyao is more likely to be blamed.
However, the emperor didn't dare to completely believe that Yu Wenyao was innocent, so he maintained a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, to see if they could find out anything.
In order not to wronged Yu Wenyao, Wan Lin and the others carefully compared the handwriting on him and the secret letter.
However, after comparing several hours, including Wanlin, they all came to the same conclusion.
The handwriting on the two secret letters is almost the same as Yu Wenyao's handwriting, and it can be determined that Yu Wenyao is the person who wrote the secret letter.
Yu Wenyao was stunned when he learned of such a result.
"In this way, you are really working in vain? And I'm really going to be charged with that? ”
Wan Lin said with regret: "Young Master Yu, you may be wronged, but our limited ability can only treat you as a suspect for the time being." But you don't have to panic, you can recall carefully, who has been in and out of your house these days? No one knows if there have been thieves in your house. Also, are there any suspicious people among the people you associate with? ”
Yu Wenyao knew that Wan Lin still believed in him, and he was very grateful to him.
"Lord Xie Wan can still give the grass people a chance to explain."
After Yu Wenyao finished speaking, he began to recall according to Wan Lin's reminder, and Yu Hongxin also quickly thought about whether there were traces of thieves in the house.
A moment later, Yu Wenyao was still thinking, and Yu Hongxin suddenly slapped his chin.
"Oops, I suddenly remembered something."
Yu Hongxin walked a few steps forward excitedly.
Wan Lin first asked, "What do you remember?" ”
Yu Hongxin calmed down for a moment, and then said: "The grass people suddenly remembered a small matter. A few days ago, the servant of the grass people's house said that when he was cleaning the study, he accidentally broke a few pieces of paper. At the time, the grass people said that it was just a few pieces of paper, and they didn't care. In fact, now that I think about it, they never made any mistakes when cleaning the study, and if anything was wrong, it was the only one. ”
After Yu Hongxin finished speaking, Yu Wenyao said: "Dad, are you making a big fuss?" People will inevitably do wrong things, but it's just a few pieces of paper, so what does it matter? ”
"How many pieces of paper?"
Wan Lin had an intuition after listening to Yu Hongxin's words, and there seemed to be some clues hidden in it.
Yu Hongxin saw that his son had doubts about his idea, and was about to say his opinion again, when Wan Lin suddenly spoke.
"Master Yu, do you remember the pieces of paper that were broken by the subordinates at that time, can there be words written on them? If there are words, is it your words, or Yu Gongzi's words? ”
"Huh?" Yu Hongxin was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Master Wan, you still know everything!" ”
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Yu Wenyao asked confusedly.
Huo Jing and Xing Zhida were also a little stunned, but they seemed to understand something, and they all stared at Wan Lin expectantly.
Yu Hongxin said at this time: "The grass people didn't pay much attention to what was written on those pieces of paper at that time, but when the grass people sorted out, they found that the missing pieces of paper should be the books copied by Wen Yao. ”
Wan Lin asked again, "Are you sure that those pieces of paper are written by Yu Gongzi?" ”
Yu Hongxin nodded affirmatively, "It should be." ”
Wan Lin hurriedly asked Yu Wenyao: "Master Yu, if you are asked to look up the books you copied now, can you still remember what books are missing?" ”
Yu Wenyao said with a relaxed expression: "This grass folk should be able to remember." Because the books copied by the grass people are copied in order, and they can also memorize the contents on them. ”
Wan Lin said happily: "That's great! The paperwork in your father's and son's study has been moved here, and they have all been sorted, so now you can sort out the books you have copied, and tell us what is missing are the pieces of paper. ”
Yu Wenyao also seemed to understand what Wan Lin meant, and immediately began to sort out his letters and articles, but it was all sorted out in a single stick of incense.
"Enlighten your lords, the grass people already know what is missing on those pieces of paper, and they also know what is written on the paper."
Wan Lin hurriedly said: "Great, then you can talk about it quickly!" ”
Yu Wenyao confidently said the contents of the missing pieces of paper, Wan Lin listened carefully, and suddenly smiled after listening.
"Hehehe, isn't this all right? The words on the secret letter are all on those sheets of paper. ”
After speaking, Wan Lin said to Huo Jing and Xing Zhida: "Please send someone to bring the servants of the Yu Mansion to Dali Temple for questioning." ”
Huo Jing asked first: "Do you suspect that their subordinates stole the paper that Yu Wenyao copied the book, so they let people copy his handwriting, so it is difficult for us to distinguish between the secret letter and Yu Wenyao's handwriting?" ”
Wan Lin replied, "That's right, that's what I guessed. ”
Xing Zhida immediately said: "So that's the case! Come on, immediately bring all the servants of the Yu Mansion to Dali Temple, and no one is allowed to be less! ”
Yu Hongxin knelt down in gratitude, "Thank you for your insight!" Little old man kowtows to you! ”
Yu Wenyao also knelt down and kowtowed to Wan Lin and the others to thank him.
Wan Lin smiled and said, "You guys get up first." The case requires a little investigation to find clues. We also want to solve the case as soon as possible, not only to clear your name, but also to bring the real culprit to justice. ”
After the father and son of the Yu family stood up, Huo Jing turned sideways and whispered to Wan Lin: "Lord Wan, if Yu Wenyao is really wronged. The person who can have the ability to wronged him must not be an ordinary person. Do you have any clue? ”
Wan Lin said honestly: "Actually, I don't have a clue, but there is one point, those who want to bring down the queen are afraid that they can't do without Yun Guifei and other harem concubines and their families." Because they are the beneficiaries and will certainly do so for their own selfish gain. ”
Huo Jing suddenly remembered someone, and said vigilantly: "When we left the palace, we met King Jie!" His biological mother, Concubine Xian, was also one of the candidates for the queen, and she was born with a noble background, and she did not fight for many years. But doesn't she really have the heart to get to the back seat? ”
Wan Lin also doubted, "King Jie's face was not very good when he entered the palace, if he didn't go to see His Majesty, then he would definitely go to see Concubine Xian." Could it be that their mother and son really have something to do with this? ”
"What are you two talking about?"
Xing Zhida saw that the two of them had been talking to each other for a long time, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Huo Jing turned around, frowned, and said, "We are saying that if it is verified that Yu Wenyao was really wronged, I am afraid that it will take some effort to catch the person who really wrote the secret letter." ”
Xing Zhida listened to this, and also wrinkled his eyebrows in difficulty.
There were about fifty servants of the Yu family, from old to young, and when they were taken out by the officials, it was as if their homes had been raided.
People who don't know the truth still think that something is wrong with the Yu family, and they are all speculating.
King Jie also saw this scene, and his eyes sank suddenly.
After the subordinates of the Yu Mansion were all brought, Wan Lin asked Yu Hongxin who had damaged Yu Wenyao's letters that day.
Yu Hongxin walked directly to the servant and said, "It's him." His name is You Laoqi, and what he does on weekdays is the work of sprinkling and tidying up. ”
You Laoqi realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what did the little one do?" What do you mean by that? ”
Yu Hongxin didn't answer him, and after speaking, he stood aside and waited for Wan Lin and others to ask.
Xing Zhida patted the startled wood, and said to You Laoqi with a sinking face: "You Laoqi, do you remember that when you were cleaning the study a few days ago, you accidentally broke a few pieces of paper?" Did you notice what's on the paper? ”
You Laoqi hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, the little one doesn't even know a single big character, how can he notice what is written on the paper?" The little one really accidentally broke those pieces of paper, and the little one had already admitted his mistake to Master Yu. The little one doesn't understand, is it because the little one broke a few pieces of paper that he brought us all the subordinates for questioning? ”
After You Laoqi finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head.
After hearing You Laoqi's words, Wan Lin couldn't help but twist his eyebrows.
Huo Jing was upright and glared directly at You Laoqi.
"You Laoqi, don't act innocent here. Who are you under your command? Did you really break those pieces of paper by accident? If you don't recruit you from the truth, don't blame us for serving you!" ”
You Laoqi raised his head in astonishment, and shouted with a face full of grievances: "Wronged! The little one really didn't know that it was such a big sin to break a few pieces of paper in the master's house! If you knew this, the little ones would have been extra careful! Please spare the small ones, the little ones don't dare anymore! ”
