Xiao Zhen gasped, his eyes looked straight at somewhere, and he trembled his lips and said, "That's it, no...... It didn't take long for Jiao Xing to stop making a sound and not moving. The prince removed the pillow, pushed her with his hands, kicked her with his feet, and she was soft and did not move. The prince probed her and said...... Just say ......"

"Jiao Xing is dead, isn't she?" A voice whispered, but it was Chen Ying who took over.

Xiao Zhen's expression was slightly sluggish, and after a long time, Fang Dong nodded very lightly: "Yes...... Yes, Miss Chen. Jiao Xing ...... died, and was ...... by the prince himself. Cover...... Covered to death. ”

"And then?" Chen Ying squatted in front of Xiao Zhen, stared at her, and said in a very soft voice: "Then, did you sneak away?" ”

Xiao Zhen's eyes were glazed, but he still replied: "Yes,...... Folk Girl ...... The folk girl was very frightened, so she quietly ran back to the house. ”

Her voice was dry and hoarse, and she continued: "No...... It didn't take long for the most useful mother by Madame's side to ...... the people's daughter He called the folk girl and taught her a passage, and told the folk girl to follow the ...... the next day."

"Okay, you don't have to talk about the rest of the matter." Chen Ying patted her lightly on the shoulder and whispered softly: "I can basically guess the rest." ”

The passage that Mrs. Xia taught Xiao Zhen to say was the version they heard before, that is, she pretended to be Jiao Xing and fled with her belongings, but in fact her body sank in the lake.

According to the law of Da Chu, servants cannot be killed arbitrarily, and those who violate it will be demoted to officials, and if they are ordinary people, they will be exiled for 3,000 li, and there will be no redemption.

And Guo Chong, the son of Xingjibo, killed a servant girl with his own hands. Therefore, Jiao Xing was sunk into the lake, and she didn't even report the fugitive slaves.

Chen Ying looked outside the hall, the sky was dark, as if dusk was coming.

She felt inexplicably sarcastic.

Guo Chong and Xia should have panicked, or maybe they were afraid that things would come to Xingjibo and it would not end well, so they made this decision. In fact, as long as they are calm enough, there is a way to make this matter seamless.

For example, Jiao Xing was injured and died to report to the official; was more ruthless, and simply beat Xiao Zhen to create the illusion that he and Jiao Xing beat each other to death. There has been a contradiction between the two maids for a long time, and this statement also makes sense. Spend some more money to dredge up a little, who will care about the life and death of a few cheap servants?

To a certain extent, this case was able to find out that Tai Ban relied on the stupidity of Guo Chong and his wife, which is the so-called providence in the dark.

"Folk Girl...... The folk girls have spoken out. Xiao Zhen's voice came, bringing Chen Ying back to her senses.

She stared at it and saw that Xiao Zhen was slowly raising her head, and her distracted eyes gradually gathered a star of light:

"Isn't the people's girl...... Did you help the girl? She asked, looking at Chen Ying expectantly, as if waiting for her answer.

Chen Ying bowed his head and said with a straight face: "Yes, you have helped me a lot and helped me solve a murder case." You are a very important witness, and with your testimony, we have a basis for conviction. Thank you. ”

"Really?" Xiao Zhen seemed to be incredulous, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled: "Minnu...... Did the folk girl really help the girl? ”

"Yes, you are very brave, thank you." Chen Ying stared into her eyes with a solemn expression.

Xiao Zhen suddenly smiled.

This smile is like a flower blooming in the spring breeze, fresh and bright, full of vitality.

"Great." She said happily, raising her hand to rub her eyes, but the tears were pouring down, but she was still laughing.

"Girl...... The girl saved the girl. The girl's medical hall and Dr. Feng saved the people's daughter. If there was no girl, the folk girl would never go to the hospital to see the patient, and the folk girl thought it was ...... Thought...... The folk girl is already planning to die. If there were no girls, the folk girl would have died. ”

She was a little incoherent, crying and laughing, wiping the corners of her eyes hard, but her smile always bloomed: "The girl is a kind person." The medical hall opened by the girl not only saved the folk girl, but also saved many of the folk girl's acquaintances. The women listened to them, and they all received the favor of the girl, and the girl was a good person......"

Her throat choked, and she couldn't speak, only tears rolled down.

Emperor Yuan Jia was slightly moved, his eyes swept towards Chen Ying, his eyes showed approval, but he didn't speak.

Pei Shu on the side showed a genuine smile.

The girl he fancied was naturally very good, and anyone who saw it would praise her. No, I'm still trying the case, and I've been praised again.

He was more glad than he had been praised, and his mouth was almost reaching the root of his ears.

Chen Ying didn't expect Xiao Zhen to be so excited, she was a little stunned for a while, and was thinking about how to solve it, when she suddenly felt a darkness on her side.

Her heart was slightly cold, and when she looked up, there were the two palace maids who had just gone out in front of her.

"Miss Chen, let's tell Xiao Zhen to go down first." He Shun'an walked up, with a courteous smile on his wrinkled face.

Chen Ying did not hesitate, and immediately got up: "There is a Eunuch Lao He." ”

Now it seems that Emperor Yuanjia escorted Xiao Zhen into the palace, but in fact, he meant to protect him. Since this case involves the DPRK situation, this key witness cannot be missed.

Xiao Zhen is in the hands of Emperor Yuan Jia, which is safer than outside.

"Miss Chen is too polite, we don't dare." He Shunan said with a smile, personally led the two palace maids, and escorted Xiao Zhen away.

In a moment, there were only three people left in the main hall.

After pondering for a while, Chen Ying stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the case is already clear, and there are some details next, Your Majesty still wants to listen to the courtiers?" ”

Emperor Yuan Jia didn't say anything, his eyes lowered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The north wind whipped low, sweeping the falling brocade curtains in the hall, and the water rose and fell like waves.

Emperor Yuan Jia rested on the case with one hand and tapped lightly with his fingers.

The royal case of agarwood, touching it like hitting jade, Qingyue's three or two sounds, is the only sound in the hall.

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Jia let out a long sigh.

"Although I expected it, I really heard it at this time, I ...... It's still harsh. His voice was low, and his expression was rare and gloomy:

"I never dared to call myself a Ming Jun, but I always thought that I still had some vision. The officials I have chosen and the lords who have been rewarded should be worthy of this high official. Not to mention letting them worry about the country, at least it can't add to the blockage and shame Da Chu. ”

He clenched his eyebrows, and there was a little disappointment on his face: "That Xingji Bo Shizi, I am also common, I look at it is a heroic son, who would have thought that he would be so ...... behind his back"

He exhaled a cloudy breath, lowered his hand, and frowned.

Just as he sighed, Pei Shu had already gotten up, and at this time, he took two steps forward and said with his hands crossed: "Your Majesty, can this case be transferred to the Criminal Department?" Otherwise, it will be handed over to the government for disposal? ”

"I don't need it." Emperor Yuan Jia's face was tired, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows again, and his voice was tired: "Yongning, I always have to have an explanation." Take a step back, even if it is handed over to the criminal department or the government office, it will only make them offend people in vain, and it is better for me to bear it alone. ”
