Chapter 412: The One Who Missed

After listening to Yu Jin's analysis, everyone suddenly became furious.

The murderer is so meticulous and bold, it is beyond people's expectations.

This is a royal family banquet, the most honorable people in the world are here, who is so bold?

King Yan said that the real culprit is among these people in the palace...... Thinking about it this way, many people can't help but shiver.

There seems to be too much ice basin in the main hall.

Yu Jin clenched his fists at Emperor Jingming: "Father, there are many people in the palace, so we still have to start with this palace maid, and first determine whether she was instructed to poison or carelessly taken advantage of." ”

Emperor Jingming bowed his head and said lightly: "Pan Hai, pry open the mouth of this palace maid for me." ”

Pan Hai immediately responded, and with a wave of his hand, two chamberlains dragged the palace maid down.

The two chamberlains belong to the East Factory.

Everyone changed color, only to feel that the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and depressing, and they couldn't breathe well.

Yu Jin looked around and said in a loud voice: "Before there is no news, you should not move around at will, let alone let one person leave the main hall." ”

The atmosphere grew heavier.

After a long wait, Pan Hai finally returned: "Your Majesty, after interrogation, the palace maid really doesn't know. ”

The maid did not reappear.

Of course, it is impossible to ask questions only with mouths, it is to be tortured, and those who have used Xing describe it as terrifying, and they cannot be brought in to disturb the nobles without special instructions.

Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin.

With so many people in the palace, he ruled out the possibility that the palace maid was instructed by someone, and trying to find out the poisoner was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and he was very curious about what else this son could do.

Yu Jin's face swept over everyone calmly: "Today is a family banquet, although there is no separation between male and female guests by screens and other things, but the princesses are all girls' families, if a man walks over, it will definitely attract attention, so I think the possibility that the murderer is a man can be ruled out, I don't know if you have any opinions?" ”

Everyone nodded secretly.

At the beginning of the banquet, the seats were all exquisite, one table of concubines on the woman's side, one table for the princess who had not left the pavilion, and another table for the princess who went out of the pavilion, plus all the princesses, county lords, and so on.

And the people walking around in this range are all palace maids, and there are no chamberlains.

In this case, King Yan's analysis is very reasonable, and there is no doubt that the murderer must be a woman.

Seeing that everyone recognized his words, Yu Jin's eyes swept over the wine tables, and he said unhurriedly: "There are nine tables in total, if you want to find out the murderer, it is enough to use the method just now." ”

What was just that?

The crowd didn't react for a while.

Jiang seemed to look at the man who was talking, and his eyes were soft.

Ah Jin is like this, he looks uninhibited on weekdays, does whatever he wants, and is always reliable when he really encounters things.

Yu Jin's eyes rolled, and Jiang seemed to look at each other for a moment, and then continued: "From the first table, you can just recall who left their seats before the incident." ”

The first table was sitting with Concubine Xian and others, and immediately a lady was puzzled: "I was chatting with the sisters around me at the time, where did I notice who left the seat?" ”

Yu Jin smiled: "This is easy to do, Niangniang only needs to recall that there was no one left or right at that time." ”

Everyone was stunned.

It's a really good idea.

It's easy to get distracted in a busy setting, and few people will always pay attention to the movement of people at a table, so it's much easier to just remember what the people around you are doing.

Another advantage of this method is that because everyone sits in a group, then everyone is both the right side of the person on the left and the left side of the person on the right, and they can be noticed by two people, so that even if one person does not pay attention, it will not hurt.

With Emperor Jingming present, no matter how unwilling the more than a dozen concubines were, they still cooperated with Yu Jin to recall,

When it was Concubine Xian's turn to speak, she glanced at Yu Jin deeply, and said calmly: "I don't know what the two of them were doing at that time, because the palace went out at that time. ”

Everyone's expressions suddenly became subtle.

I really didn't expect that the first person to be sure to leave the seat at that time was King Yan's mother, and Concubine Xian obviously knew that she couldn't hide from King Yan's method, so she admitted it directly.

Yu Jin's face did not change at all, and asked lightly: "Where did Niangniang go at that time?" ”

"Hongu has gone to change clothes."

On this occasion, changing clothes is a euphemism, but it is actually a compliment.

Yu Jin asked again: "Not long after the banquet, why does the mother need to change clothes?" ”

As soon as he asked this, everyone suddenly looked strange and exchanged glances with each other.

King Yan is really upright, he is so aggressive and ruthless to his mother and concubine.

Some people are thinking: From this point of view, it is true that the relationship between King Yan and Concubine Xian is not harmonious.

was asked by her son like this in front of everyone's eyes, and Concubine Xian was greatly embarrassed.

This brute still has the face to ask!

Why would she be complimentary? It's not that I'm angry with this evil animal.

She watched coldly as the two of them became more and more popular, but she couldn't reveal it at all, so she could only keep drinking tea to suppress the fire, and her stomach was swollen after drinking a belly of tea, of course, she had to be complimentary.

"I'm feeling a little unwell." Concubine Xian's face was calm, and her tone was not a little angry, "The palace maids in this palace and the attendants serving in the dressing room can testify." ”

Concubine Xian's words were quickly confirmed.

"Does King Yan have anything else to ask?" Concubine Xian asked lightly.

Yu Jin laughed out with a mouthful of white teeth: "No." The son asked carefully, and he didn't want others to misunderstand Niangniang, I believe that Niangniang won't blame me, right? ”

Before Concubine Xian could speak, Emperor Jingming said: "Old Seven, you continue to ask, your mother is a reasonable person, how can she blame you?" ”

Concubine Xian smiled and echoed Emperor Jingming's words: "What your father said is extremely true, of course this palace will not blame you." ”

"That's good." Yu Jin replied tepidly and began to ask about the next table.

The second table was the eldest princess of Rongyang and other royal relatives of the same generation as Emperor Jingming, and after the banquet began, Cui Mingyue, who was with the eldest princess of Rongyang, went to her seat.

There is also one person at this table who left his seat before the departure, and it is the eldest princess of Rongyang.

Seeing everyone look over, the eldest princess of Rongyang raised her eyebrows and said a little impatiently: "I was toasting the imperial brother at that time. ”

Emperor Jingming nodded: "Yes, Rongyang was toasting me and the queen at that time. ”

The reason why he didn't say it in advance was because he understood that only by taking the lead in cooperating with Lao Qi would those royal nobles be honest.

The eldest princess of Rongyang cleared her suspicion and glanced at her carefully.

Yu Jing ignored it as if he hadn't seen it, and continued to interrogate the next table.

It didn't take long for all the women at the table to ask, and then to ask how many people had left their seats at that time, but all of them could confirm what they were doing at that time.

For a moment, the investigation seemed deadlocked.

The eldest princess of Rongyang said lukewarmly: "Brother Huang, my sister looks at King Yan's method and doesn't work, so many people have asked for a lot of excitement, but they haven't found out why." ”

Another old prince spoke: "King Yan is young after all. Your Majesty, let's order the three law divisions to cooperate with the Zongren Mansion to conduct a thorough investigation. ”

Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin fixedly, and his tone was slow: "Old Seven, what else do you think?" ”

Yu Jin smiled: "Father, in fact, there are still some people who have not been found. ”
