Chapter 69: Ping'er's Confession
Although Ping'er was ready, when Chu Yunfei mentioned the young man that the second lady had said, his face still became very unnatural, "That's my fiancΓ©, his name is Niu Er, and he is a guy in a hotel in the city. Five months ago, we booked for life. But he ...... He didn't think I was worthy of him at all, so I ...... I went to Li's house. Two days ago, he had already left the capital, leaving me to fend for myself in the Li family. β
"I'm guessing he's your helper or accomplice, right? You participated in the kidnapping of Li Dashanren, otherwise, your fat powder would not have been stained with this ransom letter. Chu Yunfei took out the ransom letter and handed it to her.
This action made Ping'er lose her face and shouted, "Impossible, that letter was not written by me......"
Apparently she knew she had slipped her tongue, and hurriedly argued, "I mean, I haven't touched that letter at all, how can there be my fat powder." β
Such quibbles were meaningless, especially for an experienced detective like Chu Yunfei.
Yingchun was curious on the side: "There are so many people in the Li family?" How do you know that the powdery smell is hers? β
This question is clearly helping Ping'er. This made Ping'er can't help but look at her gratefully. However, Chu Yunfei's next words poured a basin of cold water on her head, "You're right. There are indeed many women in the Li family, but there are few who are greased and powdered. The second lady and the third lady don't apply powder, and although Miss Li smears the powder, the taste is very light and she can't smell it at all. The fat powder used by the fifth lady is the best in the capital. Like this kind of fragrance is good, the price is not expensive, but ordinary people can't afford it, will there be a second person in the entire Li family besides your sixth lady? Now as long as I give this letter to the government, they will also investigate from you. I heard that the torture equipment in Kaifeng Mansion is very complete, which can make the dead speak. The kidnapping case has become the top case in Kaifeng Prefecture...... As soon as I send you in, you can't help but say it. I'm right, right? β
Hu Ji and Yingchun couldn't help but glance at him, they have studied fat powder so well, no wonder they are called well-known figures in the fat powder pile!
Ping'er's face turned pale with fright, and although Chu Yunfei smiled, every word she said couldn't help but make her scream: "Okay." I say! I say! The letter...... It's true that we copied it. But I really haven't touched the letter. But...... Li Dashanren...... We were about to tie him up, but just as we were about to do it, something unexpected happened! β¦β¦ Now he ...... Long gone. β
For Ping'er, what happened before was a nightmare, and it was still impossible to tell whether it was the truth or not. According to their plan, they first obtained the letter from the kidnapped man's home, and then copied it down to prepare to carry out their big plan. Unexpectedly, Li Dashan was very vigilant, except for the things prepared by the fifth lady herself, he didn't eat anything given by anyone, and no stranger was seen. Even she, who is the most favored on weekdays, was left out in the cold.
However, the more vigilant Li Dashan was, the more Ping'er and them accelerated the steps of action. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh heavily, if the plan had not been implemented, her dream would still have come true. But now it's all in vain! Just the day before they implemented the plan, at dusk, she saw the fifth lady reading a medicinal diet recipe, she glanced twice, and found that it was a medicinal meal to calm the nerves and calm the qi, and that meal happened to be a supper prepared for Li Dashanren. She was overjoyed and increased the amount of acacia skin in the raw materials prepared by the fifth lady, which has a powerful hypnotic effect. In order to ensure that the plan went smoothly, she sneaked into the kitchen and added jujube kernels and acacia skin to the soup prepared for the whole family in the back kitchen, which would ensure that the whole family slept until dawn and would not interfere with their plans.
In order to ensure that Li Dashanren drank the medicinal food prepared by the fifth lady, she went to Li Dashanren's study on the third watch. Unexpectedly, he was driven out by Li Dashanren. This is also the reason why the second lady said that she saw her enter Li Dashanren's study. She didn't dare to admit it at the time, because she was afraid that Chu Yunfei would continue to investigate.
Chu Yunfei shook her head secretly, if she had admitted it readily at that time, it would not arouse his suspicions. After all, it is normal for women to be jealous of each other, not to mention that Li Dashan is still full of concubines.
On the fifth watch, as she expected, the two tired family members went back to their rooms to rest, and soon there was a sound of snoring. Taking advantage of this effort, she lured the accomplices who had been guarding outside the gate to the courtyard and carried the sleeping Li Dashan out.
Everything went very well! Ping'er sent them to the gate, and watched them carry Li Dashan into the carriage, and when she was about to close the door, she only felt a flower in front of her, and before she could react to what was going on, she fainted. Then, she seemed to hear Niu Er call herself, but her eyelids were so heavy that she didn't have the strength to answer.
By the time she woke up, it was almost dawn. Everything was like a dream, and when she couldn't figure out how she got back to her room, she found a note under her pillow that read: Go to the government to report the crime, otherwise everything will be made public.
There were only her and a little girl ring in that room, and the little girl had been poured by her with a fan fragrance during the fifth watch, and she couldn't wake up until dawn. The door was inserted from the inside, how could the note end up under her pillow? How did she get back to her room? She couldn't figure out what was going on, but she had to do what the note told her. So, she firmly stood on the side of the eldest prince and supported him to go to the government to report the case.
But that's far from the end of the story. At noon that day, she secretly met with Niu Er and got an amazing news from him: Li Dashan is gone! Soon after they left the Li family, they actually fell asleep. When they woke up, they found that they were sleeping in the carriage, and Li Dashan had already disappeared!
Ping'er's first reaction was that Niu Er was lying. But he doesn't look like him! Niu Er reminds her that things may be exposed! Let her find a way to leave the Li family and fly away. But she was unwilling to stop there, because when she entered the Li family, Niu Er once said that if there was no money and she couldn't live a stable life, he wouldn't marry her. In these days in the Li family, she really knows how comfortable it is to live a rich life, compared to the previous days of helplessness, this is simply a paradise. So she decided that until she couldn't achieve her goal, she simply stayed in the Li family.
Strange things happened again, and that night, she found another note on the bed, which reminded her that Li Qiao'er had gone to find Chu Yunfei, and asked her to pay more attention to Li Qiao'er, waiting for an opportunity to listen to Chu Yunfei's news.
She thought it was Xiao Yahuan who made a ghost, but she deliberately tried it, and that girl was illiterate at all! The next morning, she got the shocking news that Niu Er had fled the capital after reporting to her!
