Chapter 279: Burning the Corpse

The judge then stamped a second one, and concocted it in the same way.

At first, the prisoner struggled hand and foot, and when the mulberry paper was stacked layer by layer, he was soon suffocated to death and never moved again!

Li Zhaoyi said that the tortoiseshell was suffocated to death by them, and Wei Lanlan wanted to take the blame for them, so she naturally had to find the same way to die so as not to arouse suspicion.

"Using this bloodless method to execute palace people is in line with your consistent style of acting," Empress Dowager Xiaoduan said nonchalantly, and did not feel that Wei Lanlan had done anything wrong, "It's just the execution of a palace maid who doesn't understand the rules, and it's also worth your baba to come to the mourning family to ask for guilt?" And this palace maid has blasphemed the gods, and the mourning family will definitely not spare her. ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan is also a perennial person who worships the Buddha, and she has a lot of awe for the gods and Bodhisattvas, and naturally she can't tolerate those who dare to blaspheme the gods in her eyes.

"You're just too bodhisattva-minded! Those slaves who don't understand the rules still have to be beaten and punished when they deserve to be beaten, and those who dare to blaspheme and disrespect the Bodhisattva must be executed one by one! She waved her hand at Wei Lanlan and said, "Get up!" You have done nothing wrong, and there is no need to plead guilty. ”

Wei Lanlan didn't get up and still knelt straight, "Even if the palace maid and concubine handled it correctly, but this matter has caused some turmoil in the palace after all, and the concubine is still guilty!" ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, "Oh? What turmoil? ”

Wei Lanlan poured out the words she had thought of early in the morning, "After the concubine executed the palace maid, she was still angry, so she asked people to throw her body to Yongxiang, and later her fellow villagers went to collect the corpse for her." ”

"It's just that the palace maid's fellow villagers didn't know that she was executed by the concubine, thinking that she was killed by someone for no reason, and for a moment of grief and indignation, he secretly carried the corpse back to the palace, first hung it on a tree and pretended to hang herself, and then left a letter in the previous cases, hoping to find out the person who killed the palace maid by the hand of Miss Wei!"

After Wei Lanlan finished speaking, he ordered someone to bring in a little eunuch, pointed at him and said: "His name is 'Sanshi', he is a little eunuch who has only been in the palace for two days, and he stole the corpse and disguised himself to hang himself." ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Everything is done by the slave, and the slave will do such a wrong thing when he is confused!" Please forgive the Queen Mother! ”

Empress Dowager Xiaoduan listened to the words of Wei Lanlan and the little eunuch, and immediately thought of the tortoiseshell case that had caused a lot of uproar in the past two days, "The palace maid who was executed by you is the little palace maid who has only been in the palace for two days?" What's it called? ”

Mama Liu, who was standing behind the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, immediately replied, "Back to the Empress Dowager, that little palace maid is called tortoiseshell." ”

After the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan was reminded, she then asked Wei Lanlan: "Concubine Shu, the little palace maid you executed was a tortoiseshell?" ”

"It's the tortoiseshell. The concubine didn't expect that the first time she executed a palace maid, she would make such a fuss, and she had something to do with the person who hid in the shadows and liked to make a fuss about human life! Wei Lanlan's tone was full of self-blame, guilt and remorse, "The concubine is guilty, please punish the queen mother." ”

At this time, Wei Lanlan's other confidant, Yuxiu, cried out for her master with a look of grievance, "Queen Mother, the slave has the courage to speak a fair word for our mother!" The tortoiseshell was disrespectful to our mother at first, and our mother was generous and did not care about her, but she turned to disrespect the Bodhisattva in our mother's hand, and our mother really couldn't bear it anymore and ordered to dispose of her! ”

Li Zhaoyi, who was standing on the side, was a discerning person, and immediately followed Yuxiu's words to beat the side drum for Wei Lanlan, "Queen Mother, you can't blame Concubine Niangniang for making a fuss in the palace!" I can only blame the tortoiseshell and her fellow villagers for being newcomers who have just entered the palace, and they don't know much about the rules in the palace, so they can do such a ridiculous thing and cause all kinds of turmoil! ”

"You don't have to speak for me, it's what I did wrong!" Wei Lanlan deliberately refused to say good things for her with a firm attitude, and blindly blamed herself: "People die like lights going out, no matter how angry I am, I should give her a good home, how can I throw her corpse away because of a moment of anger?" ”

"I heard that the tortoiseshell cried all night because of homesickness after entering the palace, so I atonement for her sinsβ€”I planned to cremate her body and send her ashes back to her hometown for burial, which also relieved her homesickness."

"The mourning family thinks that you have done nothing wrong, but if you think that you are wrong and insist on atonement, then the mourning family will punish you and send the tortoiseshell ashes back to your hometown!" Empress Dowager Xiaoduan naturally didn't think that Wei Lanlan was wrong, and thought that Wei Lanlan was too kind-hearted to feel uneasy after executing the tortoiseshell.

In the eyes of a superior like the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the harem concubine executing an insignificant palace maid - in this deep palace, there were more palace maids who died because of the offense against the master!

She didn't think much of what Wei Lanlan mentioned, and after making up her mind, she casually added, "Just so that Qingqing doesn't have to investigate the tortoiseshell case anymore, and it also saves her from having to treat the mourning family and investigate the case and exhaust her body." ”

Although the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan only mentioned it casually, she was the queen mother and the golden mouth, which could be regarded as indirectly making a conclusion on the tortoiseshell case, and invisibly negating Wei Qingqing's investigation results.

After Wei Lanlan asked for the decree from the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, she said some words of repentance and confession before leaving Cining Palace.

As soon as she left Cining Palace, she immediately swept away her previous self-blame and sadness, and simply ordered Yuxiu, "Go, order a few strong eunuchs to follow me to the morgue to carry the tortoiseshell corpse!" ”

Yuxiu immediately took the order to leave, Wei Lanlan has always taken the trouble to make a full set of plays, so she instructed another confidant palace maid: "Go and prepare some ingots paper money for me, I want to burn more things for the tortoiseshell, and talk about guilt." ”

Li Zhaoyi waited for Wei Lanlan to order everything, and then stepped forward to compliment: "High! Sister's trick is really high! It turns out that the sin you mentioned earlier is like this! It's amazing! ”

Wei Lanlan's eyes showed a hint of pride, and her tone was very conceited, "I confessed to the crime of murder, and then burned the corpse to ashes, and the Queen Mother Jinkou closed the case...... Look at how Wei Qingqing will investigate the case this time? ”

"Yes! My sister has no last resort this time, and she will definitely make Wei Qingqing's slut stare in a hurry! Li Zhaoyi praised Wei Lanlan with a few words.

Wei Lanlan smiled silently, and then led people to the morgue, and without saying a word, she was going to carry the tortoiseshell corpse away.

And Wei Qingqing happened to find a new breakthrough at this time, and remembered where he had seen the jade plate on the tortoiseshell...... It was not easy for the tortoiseshell case to make new progress, how could Wei Qingqing let Wei Lanlan carry the body away?
