Shi Tuiguan is an official of the imperial court, and now he is on official business, although he can't collide with the palace order in the palace of the Empress Dowager Shengde, he doesn't need to be humble, so he returned to his seat again after responding, and talked about today's case: "There is the father and brother of the late concubine of the British prince, Gu Cai and Gu Qian complained to the official today that their daughter Gu was killed by the British princess, not because of a sudden illness, but because she was forced to drink poison and died, and accused the prince of killing people, because Gu knew that the son of the prince was murderous, The son of the British prince successively tortured and killed the slaves and maids Jingxin, Jingshou, Jingwen and Ruxiang, and the father and son of the Gu family confessed that they did not know that Gu's death was strange, but the British servant Jiang Xiong personally told that Jiang Xiong claimed that Gu was poisoned by his mother and his wife. ”
Chungui lowered his eyes, and said in his heart that Gu Xianyun's father and brother really obeyed Jiang Xiong's proposal, and Jiang Xiong really regarded Xiaodao's words as a golden rule, their confession was not aimed at Cheng Min and Cheng Yu, and deliberately blurred the specific object of Mrs. Han's "Zongzi", so that Cheng Zhu would be implicated.
Cheng Zhu and Cheng Yu should be on the other side of the screen, right? Chungui guessed that first, they were suspects involved in the case, and Shi Tuiguan would definitely let them be present, and secondly, as sons, it was impossible for the two of them to hide aside and let their mother be interrogated by the criminal officer.
As soon as this thought was finished, Chun Gui heard someone talking on the other side of the screen, not Cheng Yu's slightly deep voice.
"Shi Gong, please allow Wansheng to defend."
The voice was clearer and softer, but the breath seemed to be insufficient, and Chun Gui pricked up his ears, and he could almost hear the weak gasps of the person who spoke.
"The mother of the family has always been generous and benevolent, not only has she never been harsh on the concubines in the family, but she has also been tolerant of the servants and subordinates, although she is not talented in her later life, she is unable to serve the monarchy because of her illness, and she is useless and tired of worrying about her relatives and elders, and she is disloyal and unfilial to be worthy of being a courtier, but she will never dare to violate the law of the country again, and her behavior will cause murder. Although the younger brother did not reach the crown and was raised in a foreign family since childhood, but the grandfather and uncle and other elders never neglected to discipline the younger brother, although the younger brother did not take the fame, but he also learned the words of the saints since he was a child, and followed the way of the five constants, how could he abuse and kill people and violate the law of the country? I also hope that Shi Gong will be aware of this matter, this matter should be misunderstood by Aunt Gu's father and brother because of hearsay, and the later life can understand the grief and anger of the two when they suddenly heard that Aunt Gu was victimized, I believe that the two did not intend to make false accusations, but the late life must explain to Shi Gong that the mother, the late birth and the house
My brother has never committed many crimes. ”
This is Cheng Zhu, and the spring return is finally confirmed.
When Mrs. Han heard the words of her eldest son, she was weak and anxious, but she also gave birth to a sense of courage in vain, and leaned forward slightly with one hand, and finally defended herself: "I don't know why Aunt Gu's father and brother insisted that I killed her, but I did not persecute Aunt Gu, Shi Gong must also know the situation of the dog, he has been sick for many years and has no power to restrain the chicken, and it is impossible to kill people at all." ”
But he forgot to excuse Cheng Yu, and Chun Gui wanted to push open the screen to see Cheng Yu's current expression.
Mrs. Han's confession is important, but the most important thing is to get Cheng Yu to confess his guilt in person, and Chun Hui hopes that Mrs. Han's "partiality" will force Cheng Yu to collapse emotionally, and it is best to ...... Personally revealed the connection with Wei Guogong, who was the mysterious man who was once hidden in the Tianmo Annex and was devastated.
"Of course, this official will not just listen to the confession of any party, but since the plaintiff has proposed that Jiang Xiong is both a suspect and a witness, dare to ask Mrs. and Ling Lang if they dare to confront Jiang Xiong in court?"
Mrs. Han didn't even hear that Jiang Xiong had defected just now, and her expression changed drastically at this time.
Xiao Gongling had already retreated to a parallel place with the screen, and at this time, she could see not only the expressions of Cheng Zhu and Cheng Yu, but also the expressions of Mrs. Han, and she couldn't help frowning.
It seems that there is no need for interrogation in this case, and Mrs. Han must be guilty of being so panicked, but it seems that Cheng Zhu is quite normal, as if she really feels innocent.
Sure enough, I heard Cheng Zhu say: "I'm not afraid to confront Jiang Xiong in my later life." ”
Jiang Xiong had been detained by the servants, and he was soon brought up, he had already made up his mind to come out and be honest, this son didn't seem to be flustered, knelt on the ground, and poured beans into the bamboo tube...... The reports were all violent illnesses and deaths, and the villain was ordered to burn the ashes, but the two of them ...... They were all disfigured and cut off their hands and feet, even ten fingers and ten toes...... They were cut off one by one...... How can this be a violent disease? Later, there was Jingwen, and the corpse was also in such a tragic state! Jingwen is a child of the family, even if she reports a violent illness, the corpse will be burned by her Lao Ziniang to take another look, but in this way, how can Jingwen's Lao Ziniang not know that Jingwen was tortured and killed? That's why the lady told a lie, concealed Jingwen's death, and only said that she would marry her to the children of her own family in Nanchang...... There are also Aunt Gu and Ruxiang...... What the villain said is true, and I hope that the official will be clear. ”
"Jiang Xiong, why are you slandering my mother and me?" Cheng Zhu obviously didn't expect Jiang Xiong to confess like this, and his tone was full of suspicion.
"The villain is not slandered." Jiang Xiong kowtowed to the screen again and again: "Madam, madam, the soul of Jingwen has been entangled with the villain, if the villain doesn't tell the truth, let alone his life, I'm afraid that he will have to go to the eighteenth layer of hell and be tortured forever, and he will never be able to reincarnate again...... Madam, the retribution is coming, and the villain really doesn't dare to hide the crime for Mrs. and the young master! ”
The blood on Mrs. Han's face had faded cleanly, but at this time, Chun Gui and the other four pairs of eyes were staring at her, and she had no choice but to shout dryly: "What nonsense, don't you dare to say such crazy things because you are crazy?" You, you ......"
"Madam, I don't know if Jingwen and the other maids are all Madame's maids?" Spring return asked.
"They're all dogs...... It's Shichiro's maidservant. Mrs. Han said subconsciously.
Chun Gui said: "In this case, why don't you ask Shi Gong to ask the rest of the maids around Cheng Qilang, if these three maids are all killed, I believe that the people who get along with them every day will not be unaware of the slightest strangeness, according to the concubine, the person testifies that Jiang Xiong actually called the ghost god, and the credibility of the testimony is very limited." ”
Mrs. Han barely came to her senses.
Fortunately, this matter was concealed at all, and the net holding and so on were not known, but he was not afraid that they would come to be questioned, so he immediately instructed Xu's mother: "Bring a few of the net holdings, and let Shi Tuiguan interrogate them." ”
Hearing the word "net holding", Chungui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She's made the right bet again.
At first, everyone in the British Mansion thought that Shu Niangzi wanted to take today's opportunity to see Cheng Yu, and specially told Cheng Yu to come to Tianmo Annex to arrange today's banquet first.
Mrs. Han never imagined that Jingzhi had actually noticed Cheng Yu's atrocities a long time ago, but she didn't dare to divulge it because of self-preservation.
But once Jingzhi and Jingwen became friends, she was convinced that Jingwen had been tortured and killed, and she was determined to protect her own sister Jingshan from being spared, in the face of such a good opportunity today, how would she choose?
Chungui believes that his judgment will not be wrong, and Jingzhi will no longer hide it for Cheng Yu.
Nine times out of ten, this maid will give Mrs. Han an unexpected blow.
