Chapter 258: Where Did Duan Xing Go?
"Of course you won't kill people with your own hands, you are behind the scenes."
"I didn't!" Meng Xiuqi took a step closer to me, his eyes were red, and it was like a burning flame inside, and his face, which had become a little hideous due to anger, made me a little scared, although I knew that he didn't dare to face me in front of everyone, he still subconsciously took a step back, and Meng Xiuqi immediately followed, "Why are you framing me?" ”
"The big husband dares to do it, what have you done, don't you dare to admit it?" I said.
But he knew in his heart that unless there was ironclad evidence, Meng Xiuqi would not admit it. Buying Diao Fugui's wife, this matter can be big or small, as long as he admits his mistake, we don't pursue it, this matter will pass, even if we want to investigate, it is just a reprimand and a closed-door thought, and at worst, he will be driven out of the house. Even if it is murder, for a powerful person like them, if they want to get away with it, it is not impossible. But if he wants to kill me, I am the emperor's own county lord, or his benefactor and the biological daughter of his father-in-law, if it is exposed, not only will it be notorious, but if it is not done well, it will be imprisoned or even killed, of course he will not admit it easily.
I can't help but feel a little anxious, Jia Siwen, why haven't you come back yet? Without solemn testimony, if I say that there is no basis for my words, I am afraid that Meng Xiuqi will not admit it. I'm still too young and too composed, but I've already said it, I can only say it all, even if Meng Xiuqi doesn't admit it, it's enough to make everyone doubt him.
Princess Yuanhe and Meng Shaoqing glanced at each other, their faces were very solemn. Meng Shaoqing looked at me, then at Meng Xiuqi, and said, "Xiaoyue, since you said so, do you have any evidence?" If someone really commits murder in disregard of the law of the land, we will not tolerate him, and we will hand him over to the government to be dealt with according to the law. Xiaoyue, do you know that according to the laws of Great Qin, false accusations are to sit back, not to be fun, don't talk nonsense? ”
I sneered in my heart, what's the matter, in your eyes, do I only know nonsense?
"Kidding? Do you think I'm really heartless, I don't know how thick the sky is? Do you think I'm really rare, rich, rich, and rare, and what county lord? The first thing I came to your princess's mansion was to determine who was going to kill me, just to see your true face. Second, they came to find evidence. Do you think I'm going to talk nonsense without proof? ”
When Meng Xiuqi heard me say that I had evidence, he blurted out, "Evidence? What evidence? I don't believe you have proof! ”
"Don't believe me?" I said, "Youlan, bring that plate of osmanthus cake." Xianghui, you go to the wing room and bring Xiaoxuan up! ”
When Meng Xiuqi heard me say this, he didn't say anything anymore, although he still looked at me resentfully, he had calmed down and didn't have the panic at the beginning.
Youlan took Xiaoxuan out of the wing, Xiaoxuan walked in front of Xianghui and walked with a low step, when she entered the door, she suddenly stopped, was stunned for a moment, turned her head and glanced at a place, just for a moment and lowered her head and walked in, bowing her head and bowing her head. I followed Xiao Xuan's gaze and only saw a few servants and guards waiting outside the door, and it was really hard to tell who she was looking at.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sharp gaze shoot at me, and I searched for the owner of the gaze by feeling. I found out that the person who looked at me was actually Meng Xiuqi's personal guard Sheng Zitang. Sheng Zitang seemed to feel my gaze, lowered his head, and the moment he bowed his head, I clearly saw a trace of hostility flashing in his eyes. I was shocked, why did he look at me like this? immediately understood that he must be Meng Xiuqi's confidant, and he must know everything Meng Xiuqi did, maybe the person Xiao Xuan said was him!
I retracted my gaze and said to Xiao Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, tell the princess and the colt the ins and outs of the matter again." ”
"It's the county lord!" Xiao Xuan said what she said to me again with a trembling voice.
After Xiao Xuan's words were finished, everyone looked at me puzzled, and Meng Xiuqi sneered: "Is this what you call evidence?" ”
Meng Shaoqing asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Even if Xiao Xuan was lazy to say that Xiu Qi gave you something from the kitchen, is there any problem? ”
I sneered, "Of course there's a problem, it's a big problem." I pointed to the osmanthus cake brought by Youlan, "It's the osmanthus cake sent by your good son, and it almost killed me!" ”
"How?"
I said: "This osmanthus cake is mixed with fine spice and quinoa, and the fine spice and quinoa are mutually restrictive, and if you eat them together, you will definitely die." If you don't believe me, ask the doctor to find out. ”
Meng Shaoqing beckoned to Steward Wu, "Steward Wu, didn't you send someone to invite Dr. Ou just now?" Hasn't Dr. Ou come yet? ”
Steward Wu replied: "Back to the master, Doctor Ou has already come, and the old slave saw that the county master was fine, so he didn't let him in." ”
"Now let him in."
"Yes!"
After a while, an old man with a long beard carrying a medicine box walked in from outside the courtyard with Steward Wu, and saluted one by one when he came in.
Meng Shaoqing beckoned him to get up, "Doctor Ou, get up quickly." You come to see this plate of osmanthus cake, is there any problem? ”
"Yes!" Doctor Ou picked up an osmanthus cake and looked at it for a long time, and replied, "Go back to the master, there is no problem." ”
Meng Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, glanced at me, and said, "Take a closer look!" ”
Doctor Ou looked at it for a while and said, "There really is no problem!" ”
I hurriedly said, "Look at it again, don't just look at one, look at two more!" ”
Doctor Ou heard me say this, although he was a little unimpressed, he still looked at it carefully for a while, "The old man didn't see anything wrong. ”
I rolled my eyes at him angrily and scolded in my heart: What a quack. I had no choice but to say: "Doctor Ou, I want to ask you, can you eat fine spice and quinoa together?" ”
Doctor Ou waved his hand again and again, "Of course you can't eat it together, the fine spice is anti-veratrol, and eating it together will be fatal." Don't eat together! ”
"Then Doctor Ou, let's see if there are these two things in this osmanthus cake."
Doctor Ou looked at me in surprise, picked up the osmanthus cake on the table and looked at it for a while, looked at his face suddenly changed, and knelt down with a plop, "This osmanthus cake is really mixed with a small amount of fine spice and quinoa, although the amount is small, it is enough to kill, don't eat it." It's all to blame for the old man's poor medical skills, old and dazzling, and he didn't see it, so please forgive the princess and the concubine! After speaking, he kowtowed again and again to ask for sin.
I wanted to kick him and scold the quack. If he had seen it himself from the beginning, he would not have aroused suspicion. He can see it now, or I reminded him, as if he had been bought by me, and it was difficult to be convinced.
Sure enough, Meng Xiuqi sneered at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "You think that such a play full of loopholes can frame me." I have never asked people to send osmanthus cakes, since Xiaoxuan said that I asked Yunxia to send this plate of osmanthus cakes, then call Yunxia and ask, see if I have let her pass the osmanthus cake? ”
"No need!" I immediately said, "She is your person, of course she will listen to you, and she can't be trusted." ”
Meng Xiuqi said: "Then I also said that Xiaoxuan is your person, and she can't believe her words." ”
"Then how can it be the same, Yunxia has served you in the princess's mansion for many years, and I have only been here for a few days, how can Xiaoxuan become my person?"
"Then who knows?" He asked rhetorically.
"You ......" I was speechless.
His rhetorical question is really more effective than a car of words. I underestimated him so much, I didn't expect his eloquence to be so good, and I was speechless.
What should I do?
My mind was spinning quickly, and I suddenly thought of something, and said, "You are still hard in front of ironclad evidence." You think if you don't admit it, I can't do anything, do you? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Then let me ask where did a retinue named Duan Xing go next to you? ”
