"Whose house doesn't have some pre-made spell sticks for opening doors and unlocking locks? Who would dare to say that they never distribute such a spell to their subordinates? Chu Ning's eyes swept over everyone present like morning stars as he spoke, "The person who made the curse sticks wrapped in the poison may not be the same person as the person who put the poison in it, or he may not be there at all." ”

"The gift came out of the hand of this Confucian Niang, and it entered the small treasury of the Meng family, there are so many guests coming and going today, and there are many servants used by the Meng family to sprinkle and sweep, cook, set the table, and set the plates, who knows if someone has done something during this time?" Chu Ning smiled slightly, "If you want to rule out suspicion, then every subordinate of the Meng family who can use the curse should come and let the sheep try it." ”

Mrs. Meng's face became more and more ugly, there are hundreds of servants of the Meng family, one by one, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish trying until dark, in front of so many guests, wouldn't it become a laughing stock?

"Of course, I also know," Chu Ning continued, "the more magical beasts are, the more temperamental they are, and I don't know if this sheep is willing to cooperate." Madame has already used her own method to check the guests who came to the banquet, so to check the servants of the Meng family, for the sake of fairness, is it time to use my method? ”

Mrs. Meng only felt that her breath was held in her chest, and what she said was used by a little girl to gag her mouth, and she had never felt so aggrieved.

"Coincidentally, I just happen to have a family secret method," Chu Ning smiled so that both eyes were bent, "I can test who is not telling the truth." ”

Hearing the words "family secret method", almost everyone's eyes lit up, and they stared at Chu Ning with blazing eyes. When she said that it was a test of who was not telling the truth, there was a gently suppressed gasp from the crowd.

There are 2,345 mantra names that have been handed down to this day, which can be roughly divided into several categories: attack, illusion, dissolution, and control. No one has ever heard of any trick that can test who is not telling the truth.

Chu Ning quietly took in everyone's expressions, knowing that the first step of his counterattack had worked.

Just when Mrs. Meng was pressing forward step by step, Chu Ning seemed to suddenly pull out a transparent silk thread in her heart, connecting many scattered doubts. She suddenly understood, whether it was Su Yu and Princess Ankang's abuse, or Meng Liangyan's silent inquiry, everyone was trying to figure out one thing, whether she had ever practiced spirit control magic, or rather, where her cultivation came from and how far she could go.

There are many rumors about the scandal that shocked Lindu fifteen years ago. One of the most widely circulated versions is that Su Tianxin entered the palace of the royal capital at the invitation of Zhou Tianzi to preside over the sacrifice, which was originally a beautiful thing. There are many young talents who secretly desire to marry this celestial girl as a wife, but they hesitate because they are afraid that they will not be worthy of her.

Ke Tianxin entered the temple for more than a year, and some strange rumors gradually spread. First of all, it was said that Su Tianxin had an affair with a priest, and he had debauchery many times, and once he was even bumped into by the queen mother who came to pray. Then, it was reported that this priest first tried to disobey the female official in charge of the ritual vessels in the temple, and then falsified the results of divination and deceived the royal family, and the matter was revealed, and his kneecaps were cut out and expelled from the royal capital.

After the priest left, there were rumors that two of the nine kings in the temple used to worship heaven and earth had been damaged, and the souls of these two tripods had been lost. Although the Zhou royal family strenuously denied this, some people still said conclusively that Zhou Tianzi had sent envoys to search for the priest, but found nothing.

Although most people don't know very well what the specific use of Zhou Wangding's Ding Soul is, it is certain that the Ding Soul must have some kind of mysterious function, because the Nine Zhou Wangding itself is a spiritual weapon condensed from the essence of heaven and earth. Some people even said that the priest was able to escape without a trace with the help of the mysterious power of the Ding Soul.

Later, Su Tianxin returned to Lindu with her newborn baby girl, but she didn't say anything about what happened in the temple of the royal capital.

Although this past is closely related to Chu Ning, she knows no more than these rumors. But one thing is certain, people suspect that their mother and daughter are also related to the loss of the Ding soul.

There are 1,876 kinds of spirit beasts recorded in the Strange Beast Chronicle, but Chu Ning knows that people will always forget that there is still a monster named Curiosity living in their hearts.

At this moment, the room full of curious people is waiting to see how she finds out who is lying.

Chu Ning restrained his casual smile and put on a serious face: "May I ask if any of the unmarried ladies here were born in the Year of the Rabbit?" ”

A few girls cautiously raised their hands to indicate that they were.

"Well, then a few more people, who was born in the lunar moon?" Chu Ning continued to ask.

This time, there were a few fewer people responding, but there were still five or six young ladies who raised their hands.

"Well......" Chu Ning thought for a long time every time he said a word, "So among these young ladies, were any of them born in the first quarter of the moon?" ”

This time, only two people responded, one was Gu Caiwei and the other was Meng Zhongxuan.

Chu Ning glanced at the two of them, and asked one last time: "May I ask the two of you, is there anyone who is more popular in life?" ”

After a long silence, Gu Caiwei said in disbelief: "I, I am ...... What are you doing? ”

"Miss Gu, don't be nervous," Chu Ning sighed silently in his heart, "I just want to borrow a blank sign and a powder from Miss Gu." ”

In fact, in that silence, Chu Ning was really a little nervous, afraid that the conditions he proposed would be frustrated, and no one agreed. The first few questions were all asked casually, in order to narrow down the scope, only the last question was that she saw that Gu Caiwei had been wearing an ice stone since she entered the door, and she didn't take it off even if she changed her clothes, so she guessed that she must have borrowed the water intention of the ice stone to restrain the fire in her life.

She saw many similar stories from the books her mother had given her in the past, about a great Confucian who wanted to persuade the monarch to implement benevolent government, but the monarch only wanted to compete for hegemony and was not interested in benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he was bored of seeing him. When the great Confucian visited the monarch again, he asked: Does the king want to listen to the royal way or is it domineering? Do you want to hear the royal road of one king, or the royal road of eternal king? After satisfying the king's appetite, he spoke his own opinion, and benevolent government is the magic weapon of the king for all eternity. This time, the king not only adopted his opinion, but also worshipped him as the prime minister and took charge of the government.

Some Xiangshi and Lang Zhong also use this method to trick themselves into the mystery, making them seem to know everything.

Chu Ning took the sign and the sign powder from Gu Caiwei, and after a little thought, he wrote down the word "burn". It's just that she uses an archaic font that looks like a book, and few people have ever seen it.

"All right," she said to Mrs. Meng, "just ask Madame to call all the servants of the house, and if there are too many people, start with those who have been to the small storehouse today, these people are the most suspicious." ”
