She suddenly raised her head and subconsciously looked at Zhu Youjiao.

After meeting their eyes for a moment, Zhang Meishou looked at Cuiping and asked, "When you talked to that Qingmei, did you see that she brought anything?" ”

Qingmei remembered for a moment, then nodded.

"She was carrying a basket in her hand, and said she had bought some small items for the girl in the brothel."

Zhang Meishou asked again: "Have you seen with your own eyes what is contained there?" ”

Cui Ping shook her head.

"It was covered with blue cloth, and the slave and maid could not see it......"

Zhang Luan's expression changed suddenly.

Song suddenly stood up, opened his mouth in front of him, and scolded Cuiping: "Idiot! Even the dim sum was changed in front of you, and you didn't even notice it! ”

Ji's mother and daughter were surprised when they heard this.

Exchange?!

Seeing that the Song family was angry, Cui Ping was so frightened that he knocked his head on the ground, but he still said in a trembling voice: "This ...... How is this possible? The slave never left the tea table......"

"Didn't you leave your eyes for a moment?" Zhang Luan clenched his fists and asked coldly.

Cui Ping's body stiffened, and he suddenly held his breath for a moment.

"Slave...... The slave maid ......" She didn't dare to raise her head and said: "Qingmei accidentally knocked over the teapot halfway...... The tea spilled the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were ...... I lowered my head and wiped the handkerchief for a while......"

At that time, she only felt a little angry, but now that she thinks about it, she is chilling all over.

Could it be that Qingmei deliberately knocked over the teapot and exchanged the poisonous dim sum she bought with the poisonous dim sum while she was unprepared?!

Ji's expression was shocked, but he also felt that there were many things that made no sense.

She looked at her brother and sister-in-law and niece, and said, "But ...... How could Qingmei know in advance what dim sum Cuiping bought? ”

Cui Ping bought those four things, and the ones that were sent to Chi'er were still those four things.

Or is Cui Ping still not telling everything, and she still has something to hide - or, is she simply bought by Qingmei?!

Cui Ping heard the suspicion in the second wife's words, and was about to defend herself, but heard the second girl speak.

"When Cuiping was buying dim sum in Wufangzhai, his fellow chatted for a long time, and Qingmei may not be in Wufangzhai at that time." Zhang Meishou preached.

Since you want to find an opportunity to do it, you may have been staring at the movements of the Zhang family from the beginning and secretly keeping up with Qingmei.

When Cui Ping heard this, she only felt that the coolness climbed from her back to the top of her head.

"If Qingmei bought roughly the same dim sum immediately after Cuiping, the guys in Wufangzhai might be impressed!" Zhang Luan said in a condensed voice.

And Qingmei is anxious to catch up with Cuiping, pretending to meet by chance, and she has to do things with dim sum in the middle, and the time to buy dim sum will not be too long different from Cuiping.

There is no other way, so it is easier to attract the attention of Wufangzhai guys.

So, I have to go to Wufangzhai again......

Go again and you'll have the answer!

"Slave maid...... The slave knows what Qingmei looks like now, and what she is wearing today. Cuiping plucked up her courage and said, "The slave and maid are willing to go to Wufangzhai together......"

She knew that she had caused a big disaster, and now she wanted to make up for it as much as possible.

Zhang Luan nodded, then looked at Qing Yu.

Qingyu: ...... Although it is called as an errand runner, it makes people feel uncomfortable, but it ...... That should be a kind of affirmation, right?

Falling to this point step by step, he doesn't know where his former pride has gone.

After getting the permission of His Royal Highness, Qing Yu prepared to rush to Wufangzhai with Cuiping.

"Wait."

Zhang Meishou suddenly thought of something, and asked Cui Ping: "Qingmei can tell you, which brothel is she in now?" ”

Cui Ping hurriedly replied: "She said it was Qu Fanglou." ”

"What's her name now?"

Cui Ping shook her head.

She didn't know about that.

Zhang Meishou asked her to describe Qingmei's current appearance, and then let her and Qingyu leave.

"Father, if this person really poisoned someone, then we will report it to the official."

Qingmei is no longer a slave of the Zhang family, and if she wants to be convicted and punished, she must go through the government.

Moreover, what they have speculated about now may not be all.

Zhang Luan nodded.

This matter is not trivial, and if you want to investigate it thoroughly, it is inevitable to report to the official.

Even if it may cause discussion, they are the injured party. Especially Chi Er's behavior is sitting upright, and he was harmed by this plot in vain, delaying his future in vain, and he should not hide it and let outsiders speculate.

"If you want to report to the official, you must do it as soon as possible." Song said: "It's hard to guarantee that Qingmei won't have the intention of running away." ”

Although it is still necessary to confirm to Wufangzhai whether Qingmei bought those four dim sum after Cuiping today, in this case, most of them can already be confirmed.

At least for now, Qingmei's suspicion is the biggest.

And when we arrive at the Beijing government, there should be results on the Wufangzhai side.

"I'll go." Zhang Luan got up and said.

He's going to go in person.

"Father, I'll go too." Zhang Meishou followed.

It's not that she can't believe her father's vigilance, it's just that there are many people with multiple heads, and what they consider and judge can be more thoughtful.

Zhang Luan hesitated for a moment, but when he met his daughter's gaze, he still nodded.

"Uncle Zhang, I wonder if the juniors can go with me?"

Zhu Youzhang, who had no intention of doing so, also asked.

Zhang Luan didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

Dr. Fu followed, silently indicating that he was going too.

Zhang Luan: "......"

He thought, this doesn't have to be, right?

After all, there are pretentious works in the yamen, drug tests or something, and there is no need for Dr. Fu.

"Brother Zhang hasn't woken up yet, and he still has to bother Dr. Fu to take care of him." Zhu Youzhu said in time.

Doctor Fu was stunned for a moment, and then responded with some surprise.

The Song family also stayed in Zhang Qiuchi's courtyard and did not dare to leave.

Fan Jiu personally stared at the antidote and fed Zhang Qiuchi to take it.

……

When Zhang Luan and his entourage arrived at the Beijing Palace, it was already dark.

When he entered the unitary, the gate of the yamen had been closed, and the yamen standing guard outside the door was also on duty, so Zhang Luan had to send someone to beat the drum.

At this time, Cheng Ran was having dinner with his wife in the backyard.

A servant walked in and whispered, "Sir, there is a drum beating outside." ”

Cheng Ran just lowered his head and picked up the rice, as if he hadn't heard it.

The servant waited for a moment, a little puzzled.

"Sir?"

"I heard you!"

Cheng Ran put the empty rice bowl on the table, stood up and rinsed his mouth.

He wasn't deaf, he just wanted to take a few more bites of food.

When a case is tried, I don't know how long it will take.

If you encounter the original defendant who can't say that clearly, the evidence is messy, and the two sides are like shrews scolding the street in court, it will be even more time-consuming and laborious, and it will be difficult to explain it - what is even more terrifying is that these people are often just for a basket of eggs or two cabbages.

As soon as Cheng Ran came out of the courtyard, he saw a servant who had come to speak waiting outside.

"Who's drumming?" He asked casually.
