"Forget it." Chen Ying ignored the small eyes that were desperately cast by the side, and refused with a smile: "This case involves a lot of inner house matters, and there should not be too many people in the know." It's better for you to take them and resettle them elsewhere. ”

Xing Jibo is also half a royal prince, in case some royal secrets are found, Chen Ying will be fine, what about the servants she brought?

Kill people and kill people?

Such unnecessary dangers can still be avoided.

Cai Jiu just relayed it, and when he heard this, he had no objections, so he called two officials to bring Luo's mother and others down, and Fang led the way and invited Chen Ying into the hall.

Entering the hall, Chen Ying couldn't help but secretly sigh that Luo's mother was really discerning.

It was indeed cold in the hall.

An eerie, oppressive cold.

Even though the walls are thick and the columns are high, it feels very cramped, as if even the air cannot penetrate and the breathing is also difficult.

But the strange thing is that in such a depressing place, there is wind leaking everywhere.

It's just that there is wind, but I don't know where the wind comes from, only the hair trembles slightly, the clothes move slightly, and occasionally a small stream passes by, as if someone is blowing cool air at you, which is particularly mad.

Chen Ying looked around left and right, not frightened, only admired.

This kind of repression in the environment has a great deterrent effect, and suspects with weaker psychological tolerance will not last long at all.

The ancient court, as expected, has its merits.

Chen Ying nodded secretly.

At this time, Xu Yuanlu also raised his eyes in the seat, glanced at her, and lowered his eyelids again.

It's a pity that it's a woman.

This is what he regrets for a long time.

He always felt that if Chen Yingsheng was a man, he would be an extremely clever criminal official, and his achievements might be even higher than him.

I still remember the previous time when she defended in court, and the courage, wisdom and eloquence that dared to question everything in the court, overturn everything and prove everything again made him very amazing.

In his decades of criminal career, he had never seen such a prominent person.

It's a pity that it's a woman.

Even if there is a gold medal given by the emperor, a woman is a woman, and there are many things that she cannot set foot in.

Xu Yuanlu's face was like an iron plate, his eyes were fixed like stone, but he sighed in his heart.

If this is a man, he will be taken under his command as soon as possible, and he will be recuperated for a few years, what case in the Great Chu Dynasty cannot be solved?

However, when I think about it, women seem to have the benefits of women.

Compared with today's case, it is appropriate for this detective girl to come forward.

Thinking about it this way, as a woman, it seems that there are also conveniences.

"The folk girl has seen Lord Xu." Chen Ying finally finished observing the environment and stepped forward to salute.

Xu Yuanlu raised his eyelids and nodded slightly: "No courtesy, sit." ”

Words and deeds are compelling, and those who are less courageous can be frightened and discolored on the spot.

Chen Ying would not be like this, so he thanked him for taking a seat, and was led by Cai Jiu and sat in the position of Xu Yuanlu's right hand.

Subsequently, Cai Jiu also stood among the retreating officials.

Chen Ying raised her eyes and saw two columns of officials in the hall, each holding a torture stick and other things, the atmosphere was gloomy and solemn, which was very different from the last imperial trial.

This is the real court of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"Bringing people to commit crimes." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xu Yuanlu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately shouted.

All the officials responded in unison, and the two officials at the end of the line quickly ran to the back hall to spread the word, and after a while, several female officials rushed in, each holding a female prisoner.

"Cai Jiu, come close." Xu Yuanlu waved suddenly.

Cai Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "What do you command?" ”

Xu Yuanlu coughed and said indifferently: "If you don't know anything, you will mention it." ”

After speaking, looking forward to Shenfei's eyes, he swept towards Chen Ying, and then looked back at Cai Jiu: "Do you understand?" ”

"The little one understands." Cai Jiu was also clever, he knew what he meant at the moment, and he was busy.

Chen Ying also knew at this time, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Xu Yuanlu was afraid that she didn't understand something, so he asked in court, and simply assigned her a jack of all trades, and he didn't want her to destroy the atmosphere of the court.

Looking at Cai Jiu standing behind him, Chen Ying felt that this was not bad, with this temporary secretary here, many things were really worry-free.

Just as she was thinking, Xu Yuanlu had ordered someone to bring the first prisoner, Cui Shi, who was also the manager of the backyard of Xingjibo Mansion, to the hall.

"Cui's, this official asked you, do you recognize this bag of things?" Xu Yuanlu raised his hand, "snap", and a small burden wrapped in boxy, brocade fabric, and tied up by Fang Sheng'er fell in front of Cui's body.

That Cui was a charred and yellow-skinned woman, about thirty years old, kneeling down and shaking like chaff, Xu was too scared, as soon as the thing fell in front of her, she was so frightened that she hid back, and was pressed back by the female servant.

"Cui's, open your eyes and take a look, do you recognize this bag of things?" Xu Yuanlu's voice was not high, but the words were solemn, and the aftersound shook the sorghum, around the Xuan Zhu, and swirled, and there was like thunder.

Cui Shi was deterred by this sound, and didn't dare to hide anymore, instinctively looked at the bag of things according to his words, and then said with a trembling voice: "Return...... Back to the blue sky, this ...... This is what Curry has taken in, and the slave doesn't know it...... I don't know what's in it, it's Steward Xing's name...... He was taken by the slave and the maid. ”

Xu Yuanlu nodded, didn't say much, ordered him to kneel aside, and brought Xing Duobao's family up.

He is familiar with the relationship between the servants in the back house of Xingjibo's mansion, and the few criminals ordered today also have their own intentions.

Xing Duobao's family was quickly brought up.

Chen Ying knows this one and knows that she is the most powerful housekeeper mother by Cheng's side, and she can always be seen haunting every time she feasts.

It's just that I saw this housekeeper mother again today, but I saw that she had long lost her original calm and rich state, and she had lost a lot of weight, her face was blue and yellow, and her eyes were dark, and she looked more than ten years old.

Xu Yuanlu didn't like nonsense in the court, and briefly asked the previous question again, Xing Duobao's family was also calm, looked down at the bag of things, shook his head and said: "This thing is not called by the slave maid, Cui's mother thinks it's a mistake." The slave had never seen anything like this. ”

Obvious lies.

There are a lot of flaws in her micro-expressions, which shows that she is not telling the truth.

Xu Yuanlu is an experienced man, and he can see it, and he smiled coldly: "You are obedient, you know that this thing is sinister, so you simply don't recognize it." ”

Chen Ying frowned, turned to Cai Jiu on the side, and asked softly, "What's in that cloth bag?" ”

Cai Jiu replied in a low voice: "It's a medicinal herb." ”

He opened a picture in front of the hall, and lowered his voice again: "The poison in that Aunt Liu is a combination of this package of medicinal materials." This thing has been searched by us for a long time, but some time ago I have been busy asking for confessions, checking against physical evidence, and this bag of things is not eye-catching, so it was not handed over to Mr. Guan for personal examination until yesterday, Mr. Guan said, eight (ah) nine is not far from ten. ”
