"Now I have to ask the palace maid who served tea for Concubine Li that day."

Wei Qingqing had asked the palace maid once before, so the palace maid didn't dare to lie, and immediately stepped forward to tell the story of that day, "Our mother doesn't like to drink hot tea, and when the slave maid went to the tea room that day, she found that the tea prepared for the mother was slightly hotter, and after touching the tea cup one by one, she found that the tea next to the milk was slightly cooler, so she replaced the tea cup in pair." ”

"Before the tea was served to Concubine Li, it was also tested with a silver needle, but the poison silver needle couldn't be detected, so the slave dared to serve the tea to Concubine Li's mother!"

After the palace maid finished speaking, she kowtowed and begged for mercy, "The slave should die!" The slave and maid should not change the teacup without authorization, but the slave and maid could not have imagined that someone would poison the teacup and harm our mother! ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, thinking that this matter was such a mistake under careful investigation!

Neither Concubine Zhao nor anyone else on the side harmed Concubine Li, and the reason why Concubine Li had a miscarriage was because she suffered an unwarranted disaster!

Then everyone was deeply frightened - there was such a strange poison in this world, and even a silver needle could not be detected!

Wei Qingqing saw that everyone was changing, and quickly guessed what they were thinking, and took the initiative to solve their doubts, "In fact, silver needles can only test poisons such as arsenic, and many poisons can't be detected!" There is only one surest way not to be poisoned - let someone you trust handle all your food! ”

"You've said so much, but you still haven't told us who the poisoner is!" The county lord of Wuyang had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and as soon as he seized the opportunity, he was aggressive towards Wei Qingqing, "You can't find out the person who poisoned you at all, so you said such nonsense?" ”

"Don't worry, county lord, this person is actually easy to find, I'll find her out." Wei Qingqing casually held a cloth ruler in her hand, and responded to the words of the county lord of Wuyang with an understatement, as if she was not looking for the thief who was hiding deeply, but was measuring the cloth and tailoring it.

She tapped her palm with a cloth ruler for a while, and at the same time raised her eyes and slowly looked at everyone present.

When everyone saw that she had even found a ruler to measure the cloth, they couldn't help but be curious, and they all wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd......

Mrs. Yu was even more anxious and urged again and again, "You should say it quickly!" Don't whet us all! ”

Wei Qingqing finally spoke, "The person who poisoned should be a five-foot-tall woman. ”

"A five-foot-tall woman?" Mrs. Yu frowned and looked puzzled, "Is there any basis for this?" ”

Wei Qingqing unhurriedly took out the unwarranted ancient book, "That ancient book once recorded a method of estimating height based on the length of shoe prints, which clearly pointed out that seven times the length of shoe prints is the height of the person wearing shoes. ”

"I have measured it with a cloth ruler before, and this shoe print is about seven inches long, and seven times as long as it is exactly five feet." Wei Qingqing took the cloth ruler in his hand and compared it on the shoe prints made of plaster to confirm that the numbers he mentioned were true.

The county lord of Wuyang sneered unceremoniously when he heard this, and questioned: "Nonsense! I don't know where I found the things written in the idle book, do you dare to believe it? What you are proposing is unheard of and ridiculous! ”

"Wei Qingqing, you are not small! Just a few unsubstantiated words in the book dare to learn from others to judge cases? You're a grass and a human life!! ”

Wei Qingqing had expected that someone would question this strange measurement method that automatically appeared in her mind, and she had already thought of a way to deal with it, "It's true that there is no basis for words, but as long as you find a few people to test it according to the method I said, you will know immediately if it is nonsense." ”

The county lord of Wuyang was not convinced, and immediately ordered a few maids to measure the length of the shoe prints according to the method proposed by Wei Qingqing, and then calculated seven times the length of the shoe prints, and then compared their heights, and the results were really the same!

Everyone immediately admired Wei Qingqing, and Mrs. Yu even ordered someone to send pen and ink to record the method proposed by Wei Qingqing in detail, and bluntly said that she must talk to her family Master Su when she goes back.

After Wei Qingqing deduced the height of the person who poisoned her, the scope of finding people was narrowed down a lot, and Mama Wei quickly found all the women in the Tzu Chi Temple who were five feet tall.

Most of the average women are under five feet tall, and there are not many women who are five feet tall, and even some men are only in their early five feet.

Therefore, after looking around for the great Tzu Chi view, Mama Wei also found a total of eight people - that is to say, the person who poisoned was among these eight people!

The embroidered shoes on the left feet of the eight people were quickly taken off and allowed to be compared with the plaster shoe prints by Mama Wei and others.

When comparing the fifth person, the result came out - one of the eight people was a tall and thin maid from Jianningbo Mansion, and the pattern on the sole of her shoes was exactly the same as the pattern on the plaster shoe print!

The maid's name was "Yuchuan", and she didn't panic at all after being left alone.

I saw that she stood in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan and the eldest princess of Jinyang without being arrogant or humble, and defended herself in a clever and clear manner, "Mrs. Wei also said that the person who poisoned her was very scheming and good at leaving a way out for herself, so what if she stole the slave's shoes and put them on to do evil?" ”

She pointed to the plaster shoe prints that convicted her, and said loudly: "The shoe prints left in the mud may have been left by the slave's shoes, but they were not left by the slave and the maid wearing them to do evil!" The slave and maid have never done that unconscionable thing, please be aware of it! ”

"You're calm, but it's a pity that you're you," Wei Qingqing knocked on a vague mark on the plaster shoe with a cloth ruler, and said slowly: "You don't have to mention the word 'Xingxu', the shoe print on the mud floor is left by your shoes!" ”

Wei Qingqing's gaze drifted into the distance, and slowly recalled the method that came to mind, "Everyone's height, weight, walking style and the bearing point of the soles of their feet are different, so the wear marks formed on the soles of their shoes are also different!" ”

"These wear marks are unique, irreplaceable and cannot be faked, let alone fake."

"If you take a closer look at your sole, you will find that in addition to the patterns that ordinary shoes have, there are also a lot of unique, irregular marks, scratches and chips."

"These marks start to form when you start wearing shoes, and we can call these unique marks the individual characteristics of each person."

Wei Qingqing knocked on Yuchuan's embroidered shoes with a cloth ruler, "That is to say, even if someone has a pair of embroidered shoes that are exactly the same as yours, the pattern of the sole is exactly the same as your embroidered shoes, but the wear marks left by walking on weekdays are never the same!" ”

Wei Qingqing said and asked in a loud voice, "Is there a maid who works on an errand in the same house as her?" ”

"Yes." A maid stood up tremblingly.
