The night is getting deeper, and although the weather is getting warmer, there is still a slight chill in the middle of the night.

The streets are quiet, with the occasional birdsong heard.

Xie Jingyi sat on the coffin board, the candle shining on her fair face, which looked very penetrating.

The candle flame reflected in the eyes, as if it had been lit.

Mama Yao's hair was wet, and the knife Guan Huizhi gave her during the day gave her half her life. But that wasn't the worst thing that had ever happened to her.

Creak...... Creak...... Here it is again, here it is, this creepy, high-pitched voice.

After the three people left in the afternoon, the door of the cellar was closed, and Mama Yao let out a long sigh of relief, and secretly laughed at the fledgling boy chicken, what do you know? Instead of taking advantage of the chaos in her mind to extract a confession, she set aside time for her to sort out her thoughts and come up with a way to deal with it.

But she soon realized that she was thinking too simply.

The cellar was pitch black, only through the gap in the cellar door, a few rays of light were revealed, and the shadows were so large that it seemed that it could be seen clearly, and it seemed that nothing could be seen clearly.

Looking at the past, it was crowded with people, one by one with hideous faces, standing together, like tombstones, losing too much blood, making her head a little dizzy, blinking her eyes, those paper figures seemed to move.

She opened her eyes wide, but she didn't move. The rope was tied so tightly that she couldn't breathe, and the space she was in seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, as if those paper figures were all around her when she wasn't paying attention.

And in front of her, there was a huge black coffin, and Mama Yao suddenly remembered Xie Jingyi's words, and Zhao Jue was lying here, waiting for his bride.

Before, her attention was all on those three people, and she didn't feel that it was terrifying here, but when she was the only one left, she felt scared.

Squeaky ...... Mama Yao was a little flustered.

What is this sound?

In this cellar, she was alone, and where did this sound come from.

The voice was sharp and harsh, as if someone was using his fingernails to scrape a wooden plank......

Squeaky ......

Plank!

Mama Yao's pupils shrank sharply, and she looked at the coffin facing her, where the planks were ...... But Zhao Jue, there was a dead Zhao Jue lying in the coffin.

"Zhao Jue!" She roared.

There was no response in the coffin.

After a while, the piercing creaking sound was heard again......

Mama Yao didn't know how long it was, whether an hour had passed, or a day, or several days, she had no way to judge the time, her whole person seemed to have been washed.

Tick, tick...... There was the sound of water falling to the ground.

There are all paper people here, and they can't stand the moisture, so how can there be water......

Water?

Mama Yao is powerless at the moment, in the entire cellar, I am afraid that she is the one who can run water. Guan Huizhi stabbed her wound, no one cared about it at all, she was bleeding...... Tick-tock.

I don't know how long it took, but when she felt the light and saw the girl sitting on the coffin, as white as a ghost, she almost thought she had seen her mother.

Mother, you can be counted, if you don't come, I will die!

"What's your name?" Xie Jingyi said.

"Yao Chang."

"Why did you kill Xie Baolin?" Xie Jingyi said again.

Mama Yao slowly raised her head, as if thinking for a while, and said, "He is a sinister seed." will threaten the throne. ”

Xie Jingyi lowered his eyes, "How many years have you been with Princess Zheng?" ”

As soon as Mama Yao heard the three words of Princess Zheng, her eyes suddenly cleared up a little, and she was silent again.

Xie Jingyi is not surprised, this Mama Yao is also an old lady in the palace, if her mouth is so easy to pry open, it will not be her.

"If you don't say it, it doesn't matter. When you first entered the palace, you were with Concubine Cai. When King Zheng got married, you were released from the palace and stayed by Princess Zheng's side to serve. At first, the Black Feather Guard didn't find out about the red dots, because you didn't deliberately cover it up. ”

"There are a lot of grandmothers in this Tokyo city, but there are not many missing grandmothers."

She asked Guan Huizhi to stare at King Zheng's mansion, and Chai Youchen entered the palace without eating.

The person who can be sent to assassinate the imperial court official will definitely not be an ordinary grandmother, it should be a person with status. Such a person is gone, as long as he has a heart, how can he not find out.

What's more, make bold assumptions and be careful to verify. This grandmother is either the Queen Mother's person, or Concubine Cai, that is, the person from King Zheng's Mansion.

Mama Yao listened to Xie Jingyi's words, her eyes moved, and she was still silent.

Concubine Cai gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, thinking that Xie Baolin was the son of the official family and Mrs. Chunhua, and she was jealous, so she used the Zhang family as a sword, killed Mrs. Chunhua, and lost Xie Baolin.

After Mrs. Chunhua died, the palace people who followed her to marry were dismissed. But after so many years, no one can be found, and if nothing else, they should all be completely dead.

At that time, in charge of the palace, those who had the ability to do such evil things were afraid that it was not only the Queen Mother who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Concubine Cai, who was in the limelight.

"I'm from King Zheng's Mansion, so what? Can't I go for tea and snacks? Even if you are a Black Feather Guard, you can't be so unreasonable. ”

Mama Yao seemed to be relieved, and said a little weakly.

Xie Jingyi smiled, "You're mistaken." First of all, the Black Feather Guard was originally quite unreasonable; Secondly, your master has no heart, you are not in a hurry to lose her, and our people have no way to kick her under her bed, so that she is anxious to find you, right? ”

"The ears of a few of us, but we can hear it clearly, you yourself admit that you are a person from King Zheng's Mansion; Thirdly, although our Black Feather Guard is unreasonable, but in the end, he eats the imperial grain, and there should be no less evidence! ”

Xie Jingyi said, pointing to the corner.

The shopkeeper Zhao, who was standing there, had a chubby belly and lit the lamp on the side, only to see that next to the lamp, Zhao Jue was standing with a footcloth gagged.

Mama Yao's face changed, "Zhao Jue! You're not dead! ”

Xie Jingyi narrowed his eyes, "It's not just Zhao Jue. The bandit leader you sent to Hangzhou for the first time is still alive! Guess he knows you? ”

Mama Yao panicked for a while, then calmed down again, "So what?" I just don't like Xie Baolin, so I want to kill him, so what? It's still the same old saying, I'm old, half of my body is in the ground, and I'm dead. ”

Mama Yao said and smiled, "It's you...... Oh, what did you do to me that strange way? What did I say? What did they call you before, Xie San, right? Xie Baolin does not have three sons, but has three daughters...... Come to think of it, you are Xie Sanniang! ”

"Do you dare to present my confession? What did I say? I said that Xie Baolin is the evil seed of Mrs. Chunhua and the emperor! Guess what, are the officials happy or unhappy when they hear it? ”
