Chapter 40: The Results of the Interrogation

At dawn, the man was trapped in the back wing all night, and she couldn't escape with all her efforts, and she was exhausted by this time.

The door opened, Feng Xiaoyue walked in, and Xiaoyun specially brought a stool for her to sit down. Xiao Yu closed the door and stood on both sides of Feng Xiaoyue with Xiao Yun.

"I've been thinking about it all night, have you figured out what to say?" Feng Xiaoyue was not in a hurry to interrogate, but only dealt with her carefully.

The moment the man opened his eyes and saw Feng Xiaoyue, his body kept trembling. hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kept kowtowing to Feng Xiaoyue: "Princess, the slave knows that she is wrong." ”

"What's your name?" Feng Xiaoyue frowned, but she didn't want to let it go so easily.

"Slave, Xiaoli." Xiaoli kept his head down, and he could only see Feng Xiaoyue's embroidered shoes in his sight.

Feng Xiaoyue and Xiaoyun glanced at each other, and Xiaoyun immediately shouted at Xiaoli: "If you raise your head, our young lady won't eat you again." ”

Xiaoli was so frightened that he shook twice more before hesitating to raise his head.

"It's a bit of a look, no wonder you have to keep your appearance hidden." Feng Xiaoyue lowered her eyes to look at her, then reached out and took the tea that Xiao Yu had been holding, gently blew off the tea foam on the surface, and left Xiao Li like this.

Xiaoli raised his eyes and glanced at it, and quickly lowered his head, constantly beating drums in his heart. Feng Xiaoyue blew for a long time, and after taking a sip and putting it down, she slowly spoke.

"It's a pity that such a good face does such a thing, it's a pity."

"The princess spares her life." Xiaoli hurriedly begged for mercy.

Feng Xiaoyue didn't speak, so Xiao Yu spoke for her, "If you dare to steal the things of the master's house, it is an unforgivable crime, but as long as you answer the young lady's words truthfully, we can also be punished lightly." ”

"If the princess wants to ask, the slave will answer honestly." Xiaoli nodded like pounding garlic, looking very sincere, but Feng Xiaoyue knew what she was planning, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart.

"Then you will find out who is behind the scenes."

"What the princess said, the slave didn't understand." Xiao Li rolled his eyes.

"You rummaged through the cabinets, but you didn't steal anything, but you were instructed to find something." Feng Xiaoyue chuckled lightly, and looked at it in puzzlement, "I said earlier that I lost the object, but I didn't dare to act rashly, and it also left an excuse for you to confront today." ”

"If you really steal something and know that I may leave the palace, your first reaction should be to protect yourself and hide your traces, instead of taking risks and making another profit before I leave. Are you overestimating your own calculations, or do you think we're all fools? ”

"How dare the slave and maid think so, the slave and maid just heard that the princess had a lot of dowry, and thought that no one would find out if she lost one or two pieces, so she was obsessed with money for a while, and she came to start again." Xiaoli said, and kept kowtowing.

Feng Xiaoyue sighed and said helplessly: "Since you don't want to say it, then we can't do anything with you, so we have to send it to the government." ”

"Xiaoyun, Lord Zhang should be here today."

"Lord Zhang?" Xiao Li was a little puzzled, Xiao Yu looked at her and sneered: "What, do you think it's Lord Hu of the county yamen?" ”

"This is the domain of the palace, and all matters in the palace can be directly handed over to the governor Zhang Fengyu, the person behind you, did they tell you that they would only send you to the county government and then guarantee you out."

Feng Xiaoyue stroked her sleeves, as if unintentionally chatting with Xiaoyu Xiaoyun, "You say, how should this crime of theft be sentenced." ”

"Theft is generally just repayment of property and detention for dozens of days." Xiao Yu said, Xiao Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then heard again, "But if you steal the things of the master's family, the lightest is to chop off your hands, if you are still a child, the master's family refuses to forgive, and you can be killed directly." ”

After listening, Xiaoli was really afraid, and Feng Xiaoyue added: "Moreover, if I tell Master Zhang that you were instructed by someone, there are countless torture instruments for interrogating prisoners in the yamen, you can slowly experience it." ”

After that, Feng Xiaoyue turned around and wanted to leave, Xiaoli suddenly panicked, and hurriedly knelt up and pulled Feng Xiaoyue's skirt: "Princess, I said, I said everything, I was sent by the second son, mainly to find a piece of jade pendant for you." ”

Second son? Feng Xiaoyue was stunned, and suddenly remembered the young man who borrowed her carriage before, when he was still polite, but he didn't expect that he would quietly look at her behind her back.

"What's the use of him asking for jade pendants?" Feng Xiaoyue sat back down.

Xiaoli withdrew his hand and knelt down obediently in front of her. "I don't know. The second young master just told me that as long as I help him get things back, he can carry me as an aunt, and I was also confused for a while, and asked the princess to surround me with a cheap life. ”

"The aunt of any big family, the worst must be a girl from a white family, and there is no slave or maid to be an aunt, not to mention that you are still a child in this house, and you can't get rid of slavery for the rest of your life, at most, you can only be a room." Feng Xiaoyue didn't know much about these things, but Xiao Yu knew very well.

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoli suddenly lost three souls and six spirits, and fell to the ground.

Feng Xiaoyue glanced at her and walked out of the door gently, Xiaoyun moved the stool out and quickly locked the door. Feng Xiaoyue sighed and ordered, "Let her go and send her away." ”

"Miss, just let it go, it's too cheap for her." Xiao Yu didn't speak, but he also agreed with Xiao Yun's meaning.

"She's useless, even if she is pulled to confront, no one will believe a maid's words." Feng Xiaoyue turned her head and glanced at the room, her eyes were as indifferent as water, "It's better to calm things down, see when he makes a move, and catch them all." "Moreover, she doesn't know the effectiveness of the jade pendant.

The jade pendant that Murong Yin asked Xiaoli to find is said to have been left to her by Feng Xiaoyue's biological mother, and Feng Xiaoyue wants to keep this idea well, so she usually hides it in the room. It's just that I never thought about how this jade pendant could have other functions besides being good-looking.

Xiao Yunxin reluctantly glanced at Xiao Yu, and muttered: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Feng Xiaoyue caught the thief, and the news immediately reached Murong Xi's ears.

Murong Xi sat on the teahouse as always, and couldn't help laughing after listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Therefore, she showed weakness with Princess Li and asked Murong Lin to take a leave of absence, all just to arrest people." Murong Xi shook his fan in a good mood, "A person like her, who can use everything available around her, is very angry with this king. ”

Murong Lin sat on a high place, and saw Murong Lin riding back from a distance, "It seems that he finally realized that he had been deceived." ”

Murong Lin drove the horse, with an indescribable affection on his face: Playing this world, Feng Xiaoyue, you are really hard wings.

When he was halfway through, he saw the carriage of the Han King's Mansion stopped in front of him. Murong Xi pulled the curtain and looked at him innocently: "Isn't this Lin'er, where are you going to run in such a hurry?" ”

Murong Xi and Murong Lin were not much different in age, but now that they were greeted by such an elder, Murong Lin was a little unaccustomed to it. "Back to Uncle Huang, my nephew is about to go home, I don't know what happened to Uncle Huang?"

Murong Xi smiled, "It just so happens that this king also wants to visit, so it's better for us to go together." ”

Although King Han was occasionally a little bad, he had no trouble with King Li's Mansion, and Murong Lin couldn't turn him away, so he had to slow down.

"It's okay, Uncle Huang, please."

Murong Xi lowered the curtain with a faint smile, the groom raised his whip, and the carriage walked steadily in front of Murong Lin.

In the Junzi Courtyard, Feng Xiaoyue had just dropped someone, and was basking in the sun in the courtyard, thinking about whether there were still eyeliner stuffed in by someone around her, and suddenly saw Murong Lin and Murong Xi coming over together, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"The princess is so interested, basking in the sun at this time, but be careful not to burn it." Murong Xi walked over with a smile and made a joke, Murong Lin's face immediately changed, "Xiaoyue is not a child, she knows how to take care of herself, so she doesn't bother Uncle Huang too much." ”

Feng Xiaoyue also saw that Murong Lin was in a bad mood today, and guessed that maybe he already knew what he was planning, so he didn't show too much intimacy to the two parties.

"I don't know what kind of wind blew His Royal Highness the King of Han here, His Highness is a rare guest."

Murong Lin snorted imperceptibly, Murong Xi's face was as usual, and he still smiled and said, "Naturally, I came to visit the princess because I had something to ask for." ”

Murong Lin was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, Feng Xiaoyue saw this, got up and stood beside Murong Lin, "Then please ask King Han for advice, if Your Highness doesn't dislike me for being clumsy, I will definitely try my best." ”

"It's nothing, I heard that the princess has built a greenhouse that can keep the temperature, and this king happens to have some long-cherished seeds here, and I want the princess to cultivate them for me, and this king is grateful." As he spoke, Murong Xi took out a well-sealed paper seal from his wide sleeve.

Feng Xiaoyue was already moved when she heard it, but because Murong Lin was by her side, she couldn't show too much joy, cleared her throat, and said in a decent manner: "Since His Highness is entrusted to me, I must not be unsatisfied." ”

"It's just that doing things for others always has to be paid for something, so it can be done well, I don't know how many silver taels His Royal Highness King Han can pay for these plantings."

Murong Lin glanced at her with disgust, Murong Xi smiled and shook his fan: "Silver and goods are in order, this kind of rule, this king still knows." ”

"The princess thinks that three hundred taels is enough to plant these seeds."

"Your Highness is a little stingy, I can't make much money with this money." Feng Xiaoyue shook her head slightly.

Murong Xi put away the fan: "Although this king is not short of money, he also does not like to spend lavishly, and the princess has made a good profit, so why force it so much." ”

Feng Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh in her heart when she heard this, and turned her face to look at Murong Lin: "The greenhouse has not yet been completed, can you have Lao Shizi to help repair one or two." ”

Murong Lin was slightly happy in his heart, but he still looked at the sky with his elbows crossed, pretending to be dissatisfied: "Why, you just made money, so you thought about calling me for free." ”
