Chapter 69
"Huh?! What's going on! ”
Everyone exclaimed, staring at the copper basin in front of them with wide eyes, their faces mixed with wonder and fear.
The Zining herbal water in the copper basin in front of everyone turned black after dripping with blood!
Doesn't that mean everyone is poisoned?!
Shi Wenzheng was also confused by the scene in front of him, and said in his heart, could there be something wrong with this Zining herbal water? Immediately, he looked at Gu Panxi with great interest and Tiemuzi, who endorsed him.
The matter has come to this point, regardless of whether Gu Panxi is foreign or not, but if she can't give a reasonable explanation, one foot should have stepped into the ghost gate.
All the suspects were dissatisfied, shouting for Gu Panxi to give an explanation, wondering why the Zining herbal water had turned black, whether it was Gu Panxi's mistake or an intentional prank.
Originally, Gu Panxi thought that it should be Gao Xinning who would make the loudest noise, but Gao Xinning's unexpected silence made Gu Panxi look at him differently.
It is said that dogs that love to bark do not bite, and dogs that love to bite do not bark. Gao Xinning is so restrained, it is indeed a character.
Gu Panxi raised his hands again to press them, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then smiled proudly and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient, this concubine will give you an explanation." First of all, please rest assured, you are not all poisoned, the reason why the potion in the copper basin will change color is because it is not Zining herbal water at all. ”
"What?" Everyone was shocked, but Gao Xinning clenched her pink fists.
Gu Panxi crossed his hands on his hips and said, "The potion in this copper basin was prepared by the recipe I asked the Iron Divine Doctor to give in person. How to deploy it, the Iron God Doctor doesn't say, and it's not convenient for the concubine to talk more, so let's explain it simply, its effect is to drip blood and turn black, that's all. ”
Listening to Gu Panxi's words, some people couldn't hold their breath.
That's Di Yunlong.
Thanks to Di Danqing's prestige and relationship with Shi Feiqing, the two siblings, Di Yunlong and Di Yunxi, were not included in the ranks of suspects. And Di Yunlong also served as Di Danqing's deputy, assisting him in investigating this matter.
Originally, Di Danqing told Di Yunlong that it was not appropriate to talk too much today, just to prepare these things for Gu Panxi, Di Yunlong was busy and personally took care of them, and seeing that Gao Xinning, his sweetheart, was also suspicious, but he couldn't share her worries. When Di Yunlong heard Gu Panxi say that the Zining herbal water she prepared was actually fake and useless, he became angry all of a sudden.
This Princess Zhao is really ridiculous! I don't know why my father is so obsessive!
Di Yunlong stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Princess! What do you mean by that? Are you just unable to clear up the relationship, and you know that you are desperate, so you play with your father, Weichen, the guards and the adults and ladies present to vent your personal anger? This sentence is really unkind.
Di Danqing immediately blew his beard and glared, "Yunlong! Who allowed you to talk nonsense?! Get out! ”
Di Yunlong gritted his teeth, he really didn't dare to contradict his father, and after asking Shi Zheng to resign, he bowed down and withdrew from the outside of the imperial garden.
"Ding...... Received 1 point of Dillon's resentment! ”
Gu Panxi scratched his face, and his heart was suddenly shocked. Di Yunlong is "speaking up" for his sweetheart Gao Xinning.
However, Di Yunlong was kicked out by Di Danqing, but his words aroused the feelings of the crowd. Most of the suspects present were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and when they thought that they were dragged to the Imperial Garden early in the morning to be seen as prisoners, they were fooled by Gu Panxi, and they were all furious, and they wanted to ask the government to do justice.
"Ding...... Received 10 points of resentment from everyone! ”
Gu Panxi knew that everyone was dissatisfied, but he was not afraid, and he still looked complacent and relaxed.
Shi Wenzheng stroked his long beard, glanced at Gu Panxi, and said, "Princess Zhao, if you have anything else to say, it's better to hurry up." If you sell it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. ”
Gu Panxi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine is selling the guanzi, but there is still one thing that has not been done." Please allow the concubine to finish it, and the concubine will promise to tell everything clearly. ”
Shi Wenzheng didn't want to think about it, so he waved his hand to approve it. Gu Panxi hurriedly glanced at Di Danqing.
Di Danqing waved to the little eunuchs and ordered: "Put away all the daggers and line them up in front of the princess according to her previous instructions!" ”
The little eunuchs reluctantly accepted the order, and then neatly took back the short dagger on the suspect's table that had just been used to cut the palm of his hand, one by one, and neatly lined up in three rows in front of Gu Panxi.
Gu Panxi glanced at the short dagger in front of him, paced around them in a big way, and then ordered: "General, you can check the second thing." ”
Di Dan Qingden immediately understood, immediately took a step, and said to the suspects: "Please raise your hands to reveal the wound cut with a short dagger!" ”
The suspects looked at each other and wanted to scold their mother, but they obediently obeyed the order and raised their hands. The wound on the palm of the hand was exposed.
Di Danqing looked very carefully this time, and did not let the little eunuch do it for him, but personally looked at the suspects one by one, and after confirming that everyone had cut their palms, he said: "Princess, it is true that everyone has cut their palms." The wounds were all fresh and there was nothing suspicious. ”
Something suspicious?
The suspects were even more confused when they heard it, didn't they just cut their palms and drip blood into the potion, what was there to be suspicious? The most suspicious thing is obviously your Gu Panxi!
Gu Panxi knew that his success was in sight, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay!" Now Benfei began to explain what she meant by what she had done. First of all, there is the potion in the copper basin. The reason why this concubine is so designed is because it is clear that the matter of blood test is easy to be manipulated! ”
As he spoke, Gu Panxi walked up to the copper basin and gestured: "When everyone present, when they go to visit the prince, they all come in pairs, either with relatives and friends, or with followers. In this case, it is easy to cover up each other, and the concubine makes an analogy, such as ...... Miss Gao and the maidservant Qiu Ju! ”
Inexplicably being made an "analogy" by Gu Panxi, Gao Xinning's expression tightened, and Qiu Ju's whole face sank.
Gu Panxi smiled, knowing that it hurt them, and said with a smile: "If Qiu Ju is the real murderer, it will be easy for Miss Gao to shield her." After Miss Gao cut the palm of her hand, she wiped some blood on Qiu Ju's hand, and when Qiu Ju took a blood test, she only needed to drop Miss Gao's blood directly into the copper basin, and then wipe herself with a short dagger to cover her eyes. ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense and nodded frequently.
Gao Xinning and Qiu Ju's faces were even more ugly.
Gu Panxi continued: "Therefore, the potion in the copper basin is just a disguise, a trick. The real focus of this concubine is...... These! ”
Gu Panxi jade crossed his hand, pointed to the short dagger on the ground, and said loudly: "Dagger!" No matter who wants to do tricks, they will definitely not think that the real mechanism of this concubine is set on the dagger. The real murderer can borrow other people's blood to drip into the copper basin, but afterwards he must also use a short dagger to cover up a wound. In other words, the blood stained on the short dagger is the real blood! Someone! ”
Two little eunuchs came out in response, holding a large copper basin filled with purple potion.
"This is the Zining herbal water prepared by this concubine, which has the effect of detecting poison! Pour! ”
"Yes!"
The two little eunuchs worked together to tilt the large copper basin, and the Zining herbal water in the basin was suddenly poured on the neatly arranged pile of short daggers on the ground. All the short daggers were wet with potions, and in a moment, only one of the dozens of short daggers was black!
Everyone was shocked, Shi Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, Tie Muzi laughed, Gao Xinning's suburbs trembled, and Qiu Ju couldn't even stand!
Gu Panxi took advantage of the situation to attack and made up for the key knife: "These short daggers, this concubine has ordered someone to mark them in advance." Someone! Check who the blackened dagger was assigned to! ”
In a worried look, a little eunuch leaned over to check the mark on the short dagger, and after a while, he whispered a name to Gu Panxi.
Gu Panxi grinned, tilted his head, and said, "Be louder, so that everyone present can clearly hear whose dagger it is." ”
The little eunuch immediately took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "This dagger belongs to ...... Gaofu, maidservant, autumn - chrysanthemum! ”
