Chen Sujin couldn't stand it on the side, and ordered the little girl next to him to bring water and wash the face of Concubine Xiaode.

However, after Xiao Xuanliang heard it, he stopped Chen Sujin's arrangement: "Don't worry about it, I'll wait until I finish the trial first." ”

Chen Sujin had no choice but to obey.

Xiao Xuanliang looked at Concubine Xiaode and asked in a deep voice: "Did you make up your words in the cafeteria about openly criticizing in public, the family affairs of the Prince's Mansion, and ruining the reputation of the county lord of Zhongling, or where did you hear about it?" ”

Concubine Xiaode replied with some grievances: "Your Majesty, I didn't know that Xiao Qiongzhi was the county lord of Zhongling. ”

"Also, I'm not a bad person, how can I fabricate content out of thin air and deliberately find someone to blame? What I said was something I heard from others on my way to the cafeteria at noon. ”

"Listen to whom?" Xiao Xuanliang asked quietly.

Concubine Xiaode thought for a while and said: "Look at the clothes, there should be two girl rings, one is called Lotus Hoe and the other is called Dai Yue, one of them is called Lotus Hoe, when I was pointed at by Xiao Qiongzhiyahuan, he also came to the canteen to help me solve the acupoint." ”

Xiao Xuanliang then instructed Chen Sujin to ask people to bring the hoe, Dai Yue and their masters for questioning.

Xiao Qiongzhi knows Lotus Hoe and Dai Yue, they are all Zhang Huitong's maids.

After hearing Xiao Xuanliang's instructions, Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly reminded Chen Sujin on the side: "Dean, Lotus hoe and Dai Yue are the maids of Zhang Huitong, the eldest lady of the Zhang family in Taishi Mansion. ”

"At this time, they usually accompany the eldest lady of the Zhang family and stay in Zhilan Curie to rest."

"Okay." Chen Sujin nodded.

With a clear direction, finding someone is quick.

After a while, Lotus Hoe and Dai Yue were escorted to Xiao Xuanliang by two correctional ladies and knelt down.

Zhang Huitong kept following them closely and immediately knelt down, but she didn't seem to know what was going on, she lowered her head slightly, and her face looked a little dazed.

Xiao Qiongzhi has always had a good impression of her, and she didn't expect that today's incident could have anything to do with her, and she secretly observed her.

Xiao Xuanliang glanced at Lotus Hoe, Dai Yue, and Zhang Huitong sternly, and asked in a deep voice: "Lotus Hoe and Dai Yue, on the way to the canteen today, have you criticized the family affairs of the Prince's Mansion and the marriage between the county lord of Zhong Ling and the second son of the Bai family?" ”

"No, Your Majesty. Moreover, on the way to the cafeteria, we did not meet Concubine Xiaode at all. He hoe and Dai Yue replied in the affirmative in unison.

They had long heard that Concubine Xiaode was afraid of the sun, and she usually liked to cross an inaccessible path to the west of the canteen for lunch.

Today, they deliberately picked it there and went over quietly, criticizing the Prince's Mansion and Xiao Qiongzhi, except for Concubine Xiaode's master and servant, they were not discovered by anyone, and they were not afraid of Concubine Xiaode's testimony at all.

"If you haven't met my young lady, then I may ask: Who dropped this handkerchief in my hand?" One of Concubine Xiaode's maids suddenly spoke.

She took out a handkerchief embroidered with roses from her sleeve and shook it lightly at the hoe and Dai Yue.

He hoe and Dai Yue were taken aback.

This handkerchief is a lotus hoe, but it was still lying in the box where the lotus hoe stored the clothes and handkerchief, how could it suddenly arrive in the hand of the little German concubine?

They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

The purpose of Concubine Xiaode's ability to take out this handkerchief must be to prove that they had met Concubine Xiaode on the way to the cafeteria, and this handkerchief was left behind by the hoe at that time.

If He Hoe admits that this veil is his own, it is equivalent to admitting the accusation of Concubine Xiaode.

But if He Hoe doesn't admit that this handkerchief is his own, Xiao Xuanliang will definitely send someone to investigate.

In the hoe's box, there are still several pieces of this kind of handkerchief, even in her sleeve, and now there is also one, which cannot be denied at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to look at Zhang Huitong, hoping that she, the master, could give some hints.

Xiao Qiongzhi noticed it, seized the opportunity, and immediately asked: "Lotus hoe, Concubine Xiaode's maid is asking you, what do you think your master is doing?" ”

Xiao Xuanliang heard the meaning of Xiao Qiongzhi's words, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

Zhang Huitong is the niece of Empress Taishi Dongxingguo, and she has always been gentle and deferential, if this matter is really related to her maid, the truth behind it is quite intriguing.

He asked Zhang Huitong solemnly: "Zhang Tonghui, do you know the handkerchief in the hand of Concubine Xiaode?" ”

"Yes, this handkerchief is a hoe." Zhang Huitong replied without hesitation, her eyes looking frank and clear.

She thought it very clearly: anyway, this matter can be found out quickly, and it is useless to deny it.

Besides, the families of Hehoe and Dai Yue are in the hands of her mother, and they will definitely not confess to her as the mastermind behind the scenes, she has nothing to worry about, but it is a pity that Hehoe and Dai Yue's two lives are lost.

The matter of picking up Concubine Xiaode to deal with Xiao Qiongzhi is very important, since they have no way to pick it up, they will definitely be severely punished, but I am afraid that they will not survive.

Xiao Xuanliang had no choice but to ask Concubine Xiaode, who took out the handkerchief: "Where did you get this handkerchief in your hand?" ”

The girl pointed to the hoe and replied, "This handkerchief was left behind by the hoe on the way to the canteen to meet us!" ”

Xiao Xuanliang completely understood what was going on.

He looked at Lotus Hoe and Dai Yue with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything else to quibble?" ”

Lotus hoe and Dai Yue were already aware of what would happen next when Zhang Huitong pointed out that the handkerchief was a lotus hoe.

They didn't dare to shirk their responsibilities anymore, and said in unison: "Don't dare." ”

"Then you tell me honestly, why do you criticize the family affairs of the Prince's Mansion and the marriage between the county lord of Zhong Ling and the second son of the Bai family?" Xiao Xuanliang asked again in a deep voice.

He hoe said with a look of annoyance: "When we accompanied our master to school in the morning, we heard Tan Hui, the granddaughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Labor, and Liao Shuangshuang, the daughter of the Wailang of the Ministry of Labor, Liao Shuangshuang and Liao right, and talked about these things to our master and the second lady of our family. ”

"Our master and the second lady of our family didn't believe it at the time, and asked them not to talk nonsense, but we felt curious, so we secretly hid to the side and discussed."

Of course, next, Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, Liao Pair and their maidservants were also confronted.

Before, when Hongxing taught Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao to them, Xiao Qiongzhi was far away and didn't see their injuries clearly.

Now, it is impossible to see how many injuries there are on their bodies, but the injuries on their faces finally have a chance to see clearly: the eight people, without exception, are all swollen into big buns.

Tsk, this face is hard enough! It's fun!

Xiao Qiongzhi was in her heart, and secretly gave Hongxing a thumbs up.

Xiao Xuanliang was very surprised.

He asked curiously, "What's the matter with you?" ”
