Chapter 109 Trial (1)
"Could it be that the person behind the scenes is not Deputy Lieutenant Lin who wants to poison him at all?"
Luo Chen's voice was solemn, and everyone immediately looked over, Luo Chen frowned and said, "You see, the dishes and chopsticks of these soups are the same, unless the person who placed them sees the person, how do you know that this person must be someone?" β
As soon as he said this, Qi Xiao immediately looked at Luo Zhenbei, "Old Luo, I'm afraid I have to ask someone from the kitchen to explain." β
"I'm coming." As soon as the curtain was lifted, Fang Poria walked in with Li Mu, Fang Poria glanced at Shaoguang and Luo Chen first, and then blessed everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, today's poison is in the soup, the fault must be mine, Lord Li, if you have any questions, just ask, and you can have an explanation in front of everyoneββ"
Li Mu nodded, "Madam, how are these soups made and how are they delivered?" Whose hands did you pass through? β
Fang Ling, a weak woman, couldn't bear to see Lin Ji's corpse, but she was still neither humble nor arrogant, "It is boiled with a pot in the kitchen, and there are two people in charge of this soup, but if you really say that it is poisoned, it is possible for eleven people in the kitchen, and there are seven people in charge of delivering soup and refreshments, among these seven people, only the person in charge of delivering this part has the opportunity to poison, because the meals are packed separately, and if anyone has abnormal behavior, others will see it." β
After a slight pause, Fang Poria said calmly, "There is still soup left, Master Li has tried it when he went over just now, and there is no poison in the cauldron, so the poison must be in a small bowl." β
Li Mu nodded beside him, "Yes, I have tried, there is no poison in the cauldron, the poison can only be in the bowl, and the plum blossoms in this soup are freshly picked, they are floated in clear water and put together, and the spoon is also placed in one place, it is impossible to poison alone, the poison must be at the time of the soup, or after the soup, however, if the person who serves the soup and the person who delivers the soup are not the same person, the people behind the scenes cannot be sure whether it can be accurately served, so the most suspicious person is the person who delivers the food alone." Li Mu's voice was sonorous, "The seven people who delivered the soup are all outside." β
As the wind and snow grew, everyone lifted the curtain and walked out, and immediately saw seven young women kneeling under the steps in the clothes of Luofu maids, all of whom were pale and nervous, and they all lowered their heads and trembled and did not dare to speak.
Shaking his gaze swept over these seven people one by one, perhaps because it was the first time they had experienced this kind of thing, and everyone had a very obvious nervousness on their faces, so that they couldn't tell who was the one who poisoned the murderer.
"These are the seven of them?" Qi Xiao's gaze swept over the seven people, and his voice was deep.
Li Mu nodded, "Yes, it's these seven people, I have already asked just now, and no one admits that they are the ones who poisoned them......"
Qi Xiao frowned, "They are all weak women, but I'm afraid it's not easy to use punishment, but simple punishment is still okay, if no one admits it, is Lord Luo considering driving them all out of the house?" β
Luo Zhenbei narrowed his eyes, "You can consider ......"
The cold winter has arrived, such a bad weather, there are people dying of typhoid fever every day in the shantytowns in the north of the city, for the people in the poor family, the winter is extremely difficult, and the slaves of Luofu are mostly from very poor backgrounds, and even more, leaving Luofu is homeless, if they are driven out now, they will either be sold to other people's homes, or they will have nowhere to go, and who doesn't know, the entire Luozhou City, it is the easiest to be on an errand in Luofu, will not be abused and will not be deducted wages, the master's family is good to the next person, The subordinates go out and have an identity than the subordinates of other families, and it is the middle of winter, ordinary people are not having a good time, and most of the nobles will not buy slaves and maids at this time, they go out, most of them will be very miserable, who would want to be driven out?!
Therefore, as soon as Luo Zhenbei's words came out, the faces of the seven people changed all of a sudden!
"Old lady! The slave knows who...... It's a lotus...... It's the table where the lotus is placed......"
"That's right! It's the lotus! The slave also saw ......"
In an instant, two slaves and maids were lying on their stomachs and said what happened, and Caihe, who was named, knelt on the very edge, and when he heard this, he immediately kowtowed like tears and rain......
"Old lady, lord, lady, slave...... It's a slave...... But...... But the slave and maid don't know anything, the slave and the maid are not poisoned, the lady knows the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid have long since lost their family, and being able to be on an errand in Luofu is a blessing that the slave and maid have cultivated for eight lifetimes, how dare the slave and the maid be poisoned? ! How dare you poison ......"
"The slave and maid are wronged, beg the lady to be clear, and the old lady to be clear......"
Caihe's crying is heartbreaking, especially touching in this cold winter day, but this matter is a matter of life and death for seven people, the person who spoke first immediately said, "The old lady Mingjian, the slave and maid don't believe that it is the poison of Caihe, but ...... But there are seven of us, and the lady didn't decide who would set which table, so just now everyone went to Meiting to set up the table casually, and the slave and maid happened to be close to Caihe, and the slave and maid did see with their own eyes the table of Deputy Lieutenant Lin who was placed by Caihe......"
The slave and maid trembled as she spoke, and seemed to be unbearable, but at this time, in order to protect herself, she naturally couldn't hide the truth, so she cried even more fiercely, "Old lady, the table is indeed set by the slave maid, but the slave doesn't know that the soup is poisonous, the slave doesn't dare to poison it, and the slave doesn't dare to ......."
"You said it wasn't you who poisoned it, so did anyone touch your food box on the way to deliver the soup?"
Li Mu walked down the steps and asked in a deep voice.
Caihe was stunned for a moment and shook his head desperately, "No...... No one has ever touched ......"
Li Mu narrowed his eyes, "In that case, what else do you have to justify?" β
Caihe was stunned for a moment, and the despair on his face became thicker, "I don't know...... The slave doesn't know...... The slave doesn't know how to explain it, and I don't know how to say it to be an adult to believe the slave and the slave, but it's really not a slave or a slave......"
Cai He cried too truly, and insisted that he didn't, Li Mu showed a little hesitation between his eyebrows when he heard this, and Shake Light looked at the Purple Sandalwood on the side and beckoned to her, and Rosewood immediately walked to Shake Guang's side when he saw this.
Shaking Light took two steps back to an inconspicuous corner, "Do you know all these people?" β
Rosewood sighed when he heard this, "I know everything, I probably know something." β
Shake Light nodded, and then asked, "Did anything special happen in the kitchen today?" β
Rosewood shook his head solemnly, "The slave and maid have been thinking about this since the accident, but after thinking about it for a long time, the slave and maid didn't think of anything special, it seems that there is none." β
Shaking her eyes, her gaze swept over the seven people one by one, and suddenly, she raised her chin, "Tell me, when did these seven people enter the mansion, what is their temperament on weekdays, and what is their background......
Rosewood must be a god, "Okay, let's start with lotus picking." β
