When she said this, Dong Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Yi's eyes flickered, and she was a little nervous.

"I don't know why the concubine is here?" Seeing all of this, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Yi stepped forward and suddenly handed over a handkerchief, Dong Guifei took it, covered the tip of her nose, and was very unbearable to the smell of the water prison.

"Some of these palace maids are from the palace."

No wonder Dong Guifei was so nervous, I was afraid that she thought that she had been ordered by the queen to pinch Dong Guifei's handle.

At this time, if someone spreads rumors and pushes the matter of Lin Xiao, the captain of the city gate, on Dong Guifei, the two things are involved, they can be big or small, if they are pinched by someone with a heart, I am afraid that a big disaster will come.

"Guifei Niangniang, there are also many palace maids in the Purple Void Palace." Zhao Yi said as if flattering.

"Niangniang, it is inconvenient to try the case here, Weichen wants to move everyone out of the water prison first, Niangniang, please go out of the water prison first."

Pian Zheng stretched out his hand and helped the palace maid lying on the ground up, and the water-blue palace dress was already yellow and black, stained with a lot of filth.

Concubine Dong frowned, although she was disgusted, she didn't say anything, stared at it for a moment, and said, "This palace is here to hear the trial." ”

"Wechen takes orders." Lian Zheng nodded in response, and Concubine Dong asked people to help and sent these palace maids out of the water prison first.

Outside the water prison, Dong Guifei quickly ordered someone to simply sort out an empty house for interrogation.

"Did any of you volunteer?"

Lian Zheng looked at Concubine Dong Guifei who was seated, and began to interrogate the palace maid below.

Unexpectedly, the palace maids all knelt on the ground, did not shake their heads or nod, and did not dare to make a sound.

"You're all volunteering?"

There was still silence, and no one would answer.

Pian Zheng glanced sideways at Thirteen, "Thirteen, go and get the curtain and surround this place." ”

Dong Guifei raised her head and said lightly: "Why did you suddenly take the curtain with a good look?" ”

"Guifei Niangniang, the filth on the palace maids is really afraid of staining the ears and eyes of the mother, and the next person has taken a new palace dress."

Dong Guifei glanced at the pity kite, then gave up, waved her hand and let her do it.

By the time the curtain was closed, Concubine Dong and Zhao Yi on top could no longer see the faces of the palace maids inside.

Snowthorn brought the prepared clothes into the curtain tent from outside.

After a stick of incense.

He stood outside, waited quietly for a moment, and suddenly opened the curtain and entered the tent.

Listening to the tent, Pian Zheng asked: "Now the people outside can't see inside, no matter what you say, no one will tell who you are, you are looking up now and replying to my words, are you voluntary?" ”

After a moment of silence, the palace maid replied very softly from the tent.

"The slave is unwilling, the slave is forced."

"What about you?" Mercy asked.

The palace maids shook their heads and said in unison: "I don't want to." ”

"Then who is this thief who has despised you?"

The figure of the pitiful kite could still be seen in the curtain, and this sound instantly silenced the whole room.

"Lord Hui, it is Zhao Yi and Zhao Gonggong who defile the servant!"

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Daring! ”

Zhao Yi outside hurriedly took two steps down, trying to pick up the tent, but Thirteen blocked Zhao Yi's hand with his sword.

"Bold! You...... You...... What do you mean by that? ”

Zhao Yi couldn't get into the tent, but called out the pity kite first.

Pity Zheng swept his cold eyes, "Gonggong Zhao, I don't know what you mean?" Wechen is asking about the case. ”

"The concubine is ...... She...... She...... How can there be such a trial? ”

Dong Guifei's face was pale, and she stared at Zhao Yi who was looking down with a cold face.

Just now, Zhao Yi said that Ruan Lianzheng went to the water prison in order to hold her handle, so he said that she came.

Now, this murder case is related to him again.

This minion is so bold!

"Zhao Yi! You still haven't explained things clearly to Hongu! ”

Zhao Yi was already shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, the slave is wronged...... Slaves are eunuchs...... She...... How could she ask the case so hastily, Niang Niang Mingjian......"

"How to ask the case, let this palace also come to take a look!"

The long door outside the house opened, and the queen, Concubine Xi and Concubine Gao all came.

Dong Guifei stood up in shock, grabbed the armrests of the seat under her with both hands, and almost broke the prosthetic armor.

They all came.

"This is fresh, Lord Mulan, why did you ask why all the palace maids were surrounded in the case?"

The guards immediately fetched the seats from outside.

The queen took the upper seat, took her seat, looked down, and asked, "Could it be to protect them?" ”

"The queen is smart, exactly." "It was convenient to change clothes, but then I felt that this would not make people feel that they were coming for a certain lady, and let these witnesses tell the truth." ”

"Oh?" Concubine Xi smiled slightly, "Sounds interesting, let's talk about it in detail." ”

"These palace maids involve various palace concubines, but there are many and few, once anyone says something that makes people hold a grudge, I am afraid that they will not be able to live. Assuming that it was said by the people in Xi Guifei's palace, it would make people want to go to the concubine Niangniang, and it was easy to identify the wrong direction. ”

"It's worth it, but if you don't know who it is, how do you know if it's a number?"

Concubine Gao's eyes were fierce and she glanced at it.

Pian Zheng did not dodge, and said: "The lower officials will ask in the tent to confirm that these palace maids are not cheating, once they cheat, Weichen is willing to use the head of the item as a guarantee!" ”

"Good. If Lord Mulan dares to do this, this palace will dare to believe it. The queen's eyes lit up and she smiled.

Concubine Xi glanced at Concubine Dong and said with a light smile: "By the way, where did Sister Dong go again?" ”

"My sister was in a hurry, and she came on her own, and she didn't know that she was calling us." Concubine Gao took the tea cup from the palace maid's hand and said.

"It's just to see the fun, but I don't know how your sisters became so fond of fun."

Dong Guifei lowered her head slightly, suppressed the surprise on her face, and immediately calmed down.

"This palace thinks it's better to stay in the dormitory to study and study, why bother to rush to join in the fun, such a cold day, it's better to cover two more soup women in the bed, and it makes people worry."

"My sister laughed at this." The queen shook her head and smiled: "On weekdays, my sister is very lively for King Yu. ”

Lian Zheng bowed his head slightly, "Back to Niangniang, Fang just said that Zhao Yi is the real murderer of this case." ”

"Mother, the slave is wronged...... Wronged......" Zhao Yi kowtowed a few times, tears gathered, "Niangniang, the slave has served you for so many years, the slave ...... A slave is a eunuch...... How to ....... how to ......"

Pian Zheng glanced at Thirteen, and said in a deep voice: "Thirteen, go and bring Li De." ”

Thirteen nodded and went to run errands.

"Back to all the mothers, the two corpses of Weichen have been examined, Wu Zhao was pregnant, and he was violently beaten, and similar traces were found on the body of the deceased Jin Lin, and the wounds were matched in many places, but Weichen has not yet found this murder weapon."

Pian Zheng said again: "The murder weapon is a long stick-like object, I never thought of it, but now I have found it." ”

At this point, Zhao Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

Concubine Dong raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Yi, as if she understood what Lian Zheng said in an instant.

"The man has been brought." Thirteen brought the man from outside the door.

Pian Zheng turned around and said to Thirteen: "Thirteen, go and bring one more person." ”

Li De entered the house and fell to his knees, cowering and not daring to look up.

Pian Zheng looked at Li De, and his voice was like a breeze, "Li De, look up, is this person similar to the person he saw that day?" ”

Li De's arrow trembled slightly, turned his head cautiously, and glanced at Zhao Yi who was kneeling on the side.

After just one glance, he bumped into Zhao Yi's sight.

Li De panicked, and hurriedly threw himself forward, knocking his head twice in a row.

"Lord Hui, the slave didn't see his face clearly that day, he only knew that the man was a ...... It's a cripple with a smell on his body......"

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered, he suddenly looked up at others, stood up, and jumped twice: "The slave is not a cripple.......

"Father-in-law Zhao, I'm tired of you taking off your shoes." Pian Zheng stared at Zhao Yi for a moment and said lightly.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi getting up and jumping twice, Lian Zheng really wouldn't have noticed that there was something wrong with his shoes.

Both feet hit the ground at the same time, but the traces on the side of the boot are one high and one low, just like the modern inner height shoe, and there must be something strange in one of the shoes.

Zhao Yi trembled, was silent for a while, and his sleeves tightened, "Lord Mulan, you are asking the old slave to take off his shoes, and you are asking the old slave to take off his clothes, and I am afraid that the old slave has already decided that it was the old slave who did it." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Guifei's face became more and more embarrassed, her ten fingers turned white, and she coldly froze the pitiful kite.

"Yes!" Pian Zheng did not shy away from it, she lowered her head and said: "Back to the queen mother, after the two cases, most of the places involved are related to the palace department, and the lower officials really suspect that it is Zhao Gonggong." ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Dong Guifei, who had a bad face, and said lightly: "How it is related, let's hear it." ”

"Wu Zhao's case, Wu Zhao's whereabouts are unknown, no one in the two palaces knows, they all thought that they were transferred to other places by the palace and the palace, so no one cared, and in the case of Jin Lin, only the palace was sent to the Purple Void Palace on the same day, and the things used in the New Year were sent, and the leader was Zhao Gonggong, and there were even more people who could rush to the next official to inquire about Jin Sheng, pretending to be Jin Lin's brother to obstruct the lower official's autopsy."

"Wronged! The old slave is wronged! Zhao Yi let out a long howl.

"The old slave is loyal to all the ladies, how can he kill the palace maids?"

"Xia Guan didn't understand that Gonggong Zhao was in the palace and was already in a high position, so why did he kill people?"

The pity Zheng counted the hour, and the person should have arrived.

"Back to the queen, in the past few days, the lower officials have asked a lot of palace maids in the palace, and most of the palace maids know that the city gate captain Lin Xiaolin is a way out of the palace, even if they don't dare to escape the palace, they can also hand over the silver from here to the palace to support their families."

Speaking of this, Lian Zheng looked up at Zhao Yi, "Coupled with the confession and case book from the city gate, the strange thing is that there are not so many people who can leave the palace, and these palace maids who were captured by the queen mother are all on the roster!" ”

"That way, it all makes sense."

Judging from the bruise marks on the deceased's body, the murder weapon is the whip in the hands of Zhao Gonggong, not only is Zhao Gonggong not a eunuch, but he also committed a lot of filth in the palace, infected the palace maids, changed the palace rules without authorization, and killed people and threw corpses! Sin is unforgivable! ”
