Chapter 561: Identifying Each Other
Concubine Rong didn't give her time to think, and when she asked her face, if she didn't say anything, it would be even more suspicious.
The imperial concubine's face was calm, and she replied slowly: "My sister said that she laughed, this matter is a matter of human life, how can she easily betray the case, and the concubine also feels that there is no actual evidence in this case, and An Chang can not be convicted so easily." ”
Tangled and entangled, she felt that it was better to see the tricks, if she was convicted of An Changzai now, on the one hand, it would seem that she was indifferent and ruthless, and on the other hand, it would also make people feel that she didn't want people to continue the investigation and was eager to settle the case, which made people even more suspicious.
Even An Changzai will be cold to her and directly say the collusion between them, then she will be in trouble, and everyone's attention will be shifted from An Chang here to her.
Not to mention that Concubine Rong is still here, Concubine Duan and Concubine Wan are not on her side, if there is any situation that is unfavorable to her, these people will definitely add fuel to the fire and join forces to suppress her.
Help An Chang is talking, at least she can delay for some time, without evidence, An Chang is not sure that there is still a chance to turn the tables, she really doesn't need to block the road at the beginning.
When Concubine Rong heard this, she chuckled and said, "My sister and my sister have always had different opinions, but I didn't expect to reach an agreement on this matter, which is really rare." ”
She said calmly, but in the ears of the imperial concubine, she felt very yin and yang, which made her feel as if she had fallen into her trap again, and she was very unhappy.
Concubine Duan followed and said, "My sister's opinion is the same as that of the two sisters. "Maybe we can continue to investigate, and we can find more things, Concubine Rong has supported it, and she will naturally support it.
Concubine Wan frowned, looked at Jun Huaiyu and said: "Your Majesty, the words of the three sisters are reasonable, this matter is a crime of homicide, if the case is convicted, the real murderer must be repaid for one life, and it is good to treat it carefully and prudently." ”
"It's just that Xin Changzai is the concubine's sister after all, and any concubine who may be the murderer doesn't want to let go, not to mention that An Changzai has a conflict with us, the concubine feels that she has a motive, and I hope the emperor will investigate carefully and don't let go of the murderer."
"This murderer dares to harm Xin Chang today, and he will dare to harm others tomorrow, if he is not brought to justice, the people in the harem will be panicked in the future."
After listening to everyone's words, Jun Huaiyu spoke: "Rest assured, concubines, I will definitely investigate this matter carefully and give Xinchang justice." ”
"Jinzhong, let someone bring Xiao Zhuozi over, and let Yang Aiqing also come together to try the case."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Jinzhong responded.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Zhuozi and Yang Zhi arrived, and as soon as Xiao Zhuozi entered the store, he saw Caiyu kneeling on the ground and the little eunuch he worked with, and he was immediately panicked and very scared.
He knelt down and asked for peace: "The slave sees the emperor." ”
Yang Zhi arrived a while before him, Jun Huaiyu looked at Yang Zhi and asked, "Yang Aiqing, the person you brought to me only saw An Chang's maid enter the imperial dining room, but you didn't see this maid poison Xin Chang's meal with your own eyes, have you checked out all the people in the imperial dining room?" Is it really not their insiders? ”
What he said was clearly questioning Yang Zhi's ability to do things, if he wanted to, he could cure Yang Zhi for the crime of ineffective work.
Yang Zhi said unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, the minister has carefully checked several times, it is indeed not the people in the imperial dining room, they are all ordinary people, how dare they not tell the truth under the punishment of the minister." ”
This punishment is mainly intimidation, and these eunuchs are very timid, and a little scare can make him tell the truth.
Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "This little Zhuozi is the godson of the father-in-law who is in charge of the imperial dining room, and he knows everything very well about the affairs of the imperial dining room, including who is in charge of Xinchang's diet. And where the food and drink are, he knows all this. ”
"If An Chang's maidservant girl really went to find Xiao Zhuozi, it would definitely be possible to find out where Xin Chang's meal was from Xiao Zhuozi's mouth."
Jun Huaiyu listened to what Yang Zhi said, and his sharp gaze immediately fell on Xiao Zhuozi's body, and he asked: "Bold minion, recruit me from the truth!" ”
Xiao Zhuozi was very scared in his heart, because Caiyu came to him, and deliberately showed favor to him, in order to please Caiyu and coax her, he promised to get Caiyu some good things for the mother's masters to eat, including Xin Chang's.
He naturally didn't dare to mess around with the meals of the favored and statused masters, and only those who were not favored and didn't even have any hope of turning over dared to come nonsense, so Xin Changzai was one of them.
Ever since he heard that Xin Chang was poisoned, he was very uneasy and did not dare to speak out about it, so as not to implicate himself.
But now that the investigation has been carried out on him, it would be a sin to cut off his head if he did not tell the truth.
So he betrayed Caiyu without hesitation and said: "Back to the emperor, Caiyu she does know where Xin Chang's food is, she took it out of the slave's mouth, the slave knows that he is guilty, and he does not dare to deceive the emperor. ”
If you don't splash this basin of dirty water on Caiyu's body, then the blame will fall on the head of the imperial dining room, and then they will have to go to prison again, this matter is his fault, and the imperial dining room will definitely push him out as this scapegoat in order to protect himself, so he has to save himself and let Caiyu sit on this charge.
Although Caiyu had already seen Xiao Zhuozi's personality clearly, she still felt a pain in her heart when she heard him say this.
None of the other concubines bit her to death as a murderer, but Xiao Zhuozi hurt her so much, wanting to condemn her and let her die, she is simply a selfish villain.
She looked at Xiao Zhuozi with red eyes, and said with disbelief in her eyes: "This matter was not done by the slave maid at all, he slandered me, and the slave maid did not deliberately approach him as he said." With ill intentions, it is obvious that he is showing favor to the slave and the maid, approaching the slave and the maid, and has bad intentions! ”
She pulled up the sleeve of her left hand and showed it in front of everyone: "Your Majesty, this bracelet is what he gave to the slave and maid to please the slave and maid, in addition, there are some letters he wrote to the slave and maid, all of which are collected in the slave's room, I believe that the little eunuchs around him also know that he has shown favor to the slave and maid a long time ago and wants to eat with the slave and maid." ”
An Changzai looked at Caiyu in surprise, why didn't she know about this?
Jun Huaiyu looked at the little eunuch who reported Caiyu and asked, "What she said is true?" Is it Xiao Zhuozi to please her? ”
The little eunuch nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, it was indeed Xiao Zhuozi who flattered her and gave her gifts before, and then she flattered Xiao Dezi, and the two of them may not have had a private meeting for a long time, that is, she came to Xiao Zhuozi recently." ”
