Chapter 377: The Second Confessor
"When our lady knew about the invitation to the dinner party, you took a photo, and she started to dress up a day in advance, for fear of falling behind. I never thought of it...... Our lady is gone, and you have become like this......"
There was silence in the hall, and for a while and a half, it was impossible to tell who was more miserable.
Shopkeeper Zhao took a deep breath and reluctantly retracted his bulging belly.
However, he didn't practice this magic skill at home, he could only shrink for a while, and he couldn't shrink the flesh on his face, and when he exhaled, his stomach bounced out again, which made people laugh, it was really a beautiful man, and he didn't have a relationship with a big son.
Huangfu Yin snapped and slapped the shocking wood.
"No noise above the court. Who is it and what evidence is there? ”
The woman consciously lost her words, shrunk her neck, and knelt down with a plop, "Yao Jincui, the folk woman, was the first-class maid beside Mrs. Caidie back then. The lady held a night banquet to coax those regular guests who often came to the flower banquet on the fifteenth day of the new year. Interesting flower girls in the capital, beautiful flower girls, abound, our wife is a show not a sell-out, if there are no more tricks, I am afraid that I will be left out in the cold. ”
"Ten invitations, the highest price gets, is ten pieces of fragrant wood carved brand, carved with the word color butterfly. After the names of the ten guests have been decided, the lady will write a post by hand and ask me to send it to the house as a sign of honor. ”
"Liu Lai and Zhao Que are not regular customers. There were a lot of people who came to shoot that day, and only three people actually got the ten brands. Among them, Liu Lai took five pieces alone, Zhao Qingjiang took four pieces, and Yang Xuan from Zhongqin Bofu took a piece for himself. ”
"Liu Gui led Yan Erlang with him that day; On the bright side, Yan Erlang took three pieces, but in fact, those three pieces, the two pieces used by Liu Gui and Liu Lai, were all paid by Liu Gui! ”
"I took the money, and it was written clearly and clearly in the account books. The same Jiaozi is used. Liu Hui secretly told our wife, saying that Yan Erlang was going to bring two distinguished guests, and told her to make sure to greet her specially. ”
Yao Jincui said, took off a burden from his body, spread it out on the ground, and there was an account book inside, as well as a roster, and held it up, "This is all the account books of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, including who took how much money and how much money was spent on purchase." ”
"After Madame went, her relatives in the countryside came to her, and took all her property from her, and I served Madame for many years, thinking that there was her approval in the account book, and this list was the name of the ten people who were going to come that night, the taboos of food, and the preferences."
"In order not to make mistakes, our wife will investigate in advance, and being a flower girl is not as easy as the big guy thinks."
"It's all written by myself, so I left these and wanted to make a thought."
Yao Jincui said, glanced at the booklet with some nostalgia, and said at the end, "I didn't expect it, but now it comes in handy." ”
Without waiting for Huang Fu Yin to speak, the shopkeeper Zhao said, "This can only prove that Liu Gui and Liu Lai's brothers have known Yan Erlang for a long time, and they intend to curry favor with them, which is related, and it does not prove that Liu Lai must not be a murderer." ”
Yao Jincui nodded.
Huang Fuyin, who was sitting in the hall, took the pamphlet handed by the official and flipped through it speechlessly.
What to do? I seem to be a little sleepy! There's nothing to do with him at all!
"That's because, I also saw the person wearing the cloak that Gou Yiwei saw, that person, definitely not Liu Lai." Yao Jincui said, raised his head, and looked at Liu Lai, who was kneeling on the side.
Liu Lai pursed his lips, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Yao Jincui shook his head, "I didn't talk nonsense, I also told the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion at the time, but no one mentioned it later, I thought that the matter probably had nothing to do with the case, so I didn't care." This time, someone came to find him, saying that Gou Yanei had bumped into a man wearing a cloak back then, and I remembered this and came here to testify. ”
"Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of our wife and find out the real murderer who killed her! Our little lady is a hard-working person, but she has never done anything hurtful! ”
Huang Fu Yin's expression was solemn, and the whole person was in good spirits, "You saw the murderer's face?" ”
"I didn't see his face, but I saw his hands, his hands were very white, Liu Lai practiced martial arts, his hands were wrinkled like old bark, and there were many calluses, it would definitely not be his. And he is quite strong, the black-robed man, very delicate, a teenager. ”
"Our wife has two pianos, one of which is called Jun Yao and the other is called Qingping, which is a couple. But Qingping's piano was broken, and it was sent to Wu's shop a few days ago to find a violinist to repair it. ”
"That night, Mrs. invited Song Yao into the house, Jun Yaoqin's voice was low, not suitable for autumn cicada music, so Mrs. sent me to ask the Wu family shop to see if the Pingqin had been repaired, if it was repaired, it would be sent over early the next morning, and let Song Yao stroke it again before leaving."
"My wife has always been very strict in the matter of music and rhythm, and we are not surprised. The Wu family shop had a lot of dealings with us, so I went to get the piano. After the piano was repaired, I called the people in the shop to move me to the piano room, and our wife had a separate yard dedicated to stroking the piano and practicing dance. ”
"I was waiting at the door when I saw a dark figure passing by, and when I got to the door, I saw only his hand. I wanted to call him, but the guy from the shop came out, and I gave them a reward, and when I turned around, the man in the cloak was gone. ”
"There were ten male guests in the house that night, and it was not uncommon for anyone to wander by without sleep, so I didn't care. At this time, another maid came to report, saying that Liu Gui was about to make trouble, saying that the wine was not strong enough, and that she was moving her hands and feet against the good-looking maid. ”
"I had no choice but to go out again in search of spirits. When he returned, the lights were out in Madame's house, and the door was chained. She is a person who usually doesn't have to keep vigil, so I don't care about dealing with things in the garden. ”
Huangfu Yin nodded thoughtfully, "Which official of Kaifeng Mansion did you tell these things?" You remember his name. ”
Yao Jincui nodded, "I remember, it's called Liu Feng." My lord, what the women said is true, and they dare not say anything. ”
Huang Fuyin raised his hand and slapped the shocking sound with a snap, "Bold Liu Lai, you dare to take the charge, cover up the real murderer, and despise the court, your heart can be punished!" Can you plead guilty? ”
Without waiting for Liu to speak, at this time, a weak voice came from the crowd.
"Lord Fu Yin, Liu Lai is indeed not the one who killed Mrs. Caidie and blamed Song Yao, because I killed Mrs. Caidie."
"I hate Song Yao. Xiao You and I are in love, but with Song Yao here, I will never be able to marry Xiao You. ”
