On Bo Xinlan's side, she couldn't make sense, so she could only ask Your Majesty. After all, in this Weiyang Palace, the person he knows best is His Majesty. I only hope that Your Majesty can look at the relationship between master and servant for many years, listen to what he means, and don't really be blinded by Bo Xinlan's master and servant.

However, if His Majesty is really willing to listen to people's persuasion, how can he let Bo Xinlan investigate the case? It is obvious that Bo Xinlan is not just the victim, it is obvious that Bo Xinlan is suspected of evil, but what's wrong with Your Majesty? How could she suddenly trust Bo Xinlan so much, and let her interrogate her in all ways?

Zhuo Jiu felt that there must be some strange things in this matter that were not known to outsiders, and it was these strange things that prompted His Majesty not to believe in the queen mother, but to believe in Bo Xinlan, who was not treated by him on weekdays. Moreover, these strange things have a lot to do with them, and it is not that his few words of persuasion can make His Majesty relieved.

But now, what else can be done besides asking His Majesty? Can he leave Zhiqiu alone? Even if the results are not satisfactory, he always has to work hard for it, doesn't he? Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Zhiqiu? How can you forgive yourself?

Out of the Shen Punishment Division, Zhuo Jiu took the opportunity of being summoned to the palace this time and went directly to the imperial study. All the way, I was thinking about how to intercede for Zhiqiu in my heart......

In the Shen Xing Division, Bo Xinlan closed her eyes and rested for a while, then opened her eyes, looked at Zhiqiu, and asked: "Zhiqiu, Zhuo Jiu said that he didn't let Dongxue pass you a note, and there is obviously nothing strange about Xiao Tao's side, now all the evidence points to you, it can be seen that you are lying, you say, how should this case be tried in this palace." ”

"Zhuojiu naturally didn't pass the note to me, but I did receive the note from Dongxue! That note was clearly forged by you, so how could I be lying? I'm talking about getting the note from Dongxue, not the note itself, why are you so confused? Isn't it winter snow that you should be asking? Shouldn't you ask her, since Zhuo Jiu didn't give her a note, where did the note she gave me come from? Zhiqiu stood up suddenly, looked at Bo Xinlan, and argued.

However, Bo Xinlan was not able to be frightened by her, just looked at Zhiqiu with a smile, and asked: "You said that the note is in Zhuo Jiu's handwriting, and you insist that you did receive the note, but Zhuo Jiu said that he did not pass the note to you, so the meaning is also very obvious...... You mean, someone pretended to be Zhuojiu's handwriting to deceive you. And since the note was given to you by Dong Xue, the person who pretended to be Zhuo Jiu's handwriting obviously had nothing to do with Dong Xue. Further, it was the main palace that instructed Dongxue to give you a note with Zhuojiu's handwriting and lead you to the imperial dining room. But so? ”

Zhiqiu didn't think that Bo Xinlan would say it so clearly, and she knew in her heart that she must be a cat, so she couldn't help but be a little jealous. But what Bo Xinlan asked at this time was indeed what she was thinking...... No, it's not just what she thinks, it's the truth. In this case, where did she have a reason to be polite to Bo Xinlan, and said loudly: "That's right!" ”

Bo Xinlan nodded, looking quite in agreement with Zhiqiu's words, and said, "You do have some truth in that. If you do receive the note, then there must be someone in the palace who can pretend to be Zhuo Jiu's handwriting. You suspect this palace and Dong Xue, and this palace is irrefutable, after all, in this matter, the most direct victim is this palace, because of the victimization of this palace, this is the involvement of you and the queen. If this palace were on your side, it would certainly think the same way you do. But believe it or not, to tell you the truth, this palace must tell you......"

"I haven't read a few books, I can't write well, and I'm even said to imitate other people's handwriting, which is impossible. Dongxue's knowledge is only half a catty and eight taels with this palace, and you say that she imitates Zhuo Jiu's handwriting, which is even more nonsense...... But this palace does feel that this matter is very strange, and since you have raised doubts, this palace will definitely not ignore it. You take out the note, and the palace will send someone to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother can find some experienced people to check it carefully. ”

Where is there a note in Zhiqiu? Hearing Bo Xinlan's question, she became even more angry, annoyed, and said angrily: "How can I keep such a thing? You knew that the note had been swallowed in my stomach by me, so you said it so pretendiously! It's obvious that you are a thief who shouts to catch a thief, but you make such a high-sounding sound, aren't you afraid of retribution in the future? Blaming others like this, have you ever thought about how you should deal with it if it also falls on you one day? ”

"Presumptuous!" Dong Xue got up suddenly, pointed at Zhiqiu, and said: "My mother-in-law has always been kind to you, you said that you suspected that someone was pretending to be Zhuo Jiu's handwriting, and my mother-in-law ignored your slander, but was fair and lenient and asked." It's just that I asked you for a proof, and you can't take it out, and you still have the face to be annoyed and angry, so you and I are offending the mother, and so ignorant of cursing the mother! In this Weiyang Palace, are there still rules? Is there any fairness in this world? ”

This time, Bo Xinlan just taught Zhiqiu a lesson from Dongxue, looked at it coldly, and did not stop it, which shows that she was extremely angry at Zhiqiu's offense.

Mama Zhong and Mama Liu on the side looked at it, and they all knew that in such a situation, if they didn't follow up and scold Zhiqiu a few words, it would be too unreasonable. The two glanced at each other, and this time Mama Liu said: "Miss Zhiqiu, now that you are in the Shen Criminal Division, you can be regarded as half a prisoner, what the mother asks you, you will answer, this is your duty." Don't talk about these things anymore, so as to disrupt the interrogation of the mother. Only those who are well-behaved in front of the mother can be called a good minion, understand? ”

Mama Liu's words were not painful, but they not offended Zhiqiu, but also made Bo Xinlan unable to find faults, but it would make Bo Xinlan feel a little uncomfortable. But these discomforts, with Bo Xinlan's thoughts, will not be too much of a concern.

Bo Xinlan finished speaking painlessly by Mama Liu, and then said: "Zhiqiu, you said that someone gave you a note to blame you, but now, this palace asked you to take out this note so that I can help you check it, but you can't take it out." So, how do you make Hongu believe you? How can it be so easy for you to clear your guilt just by relying on such nonsense as red mouth and white teeth? ”

"I'm telling the truth! It was indeed Dongxue who gave me a note! "Zhiqiu Road.

Bo Xinlan sneered, thinking that Zhiqiu's words were very funny, and she didn't want to be more concerned with her, an ignorant person, just shook her head, and then fell on the torture room on the left.

"What's in the torture chamber here?" Bo Xinlan asked.

"Back to Niangniang, there are 'Red Plum in the Snow', 'Fairy Rope', 'Plum Blossom Branding', 'Attracting Bees and Butterflies', 'A Line of Pull'......"

"It's just the red plum in the snow, it's simple and convenient." Without waiting for Mama Zhong to finish introducing, Bo Xinlan ordered.

Mama Zhong was stunned for a moment, but then she had no choice but to respond: "Yes, the slave will go and prepare." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be tortured, Zhiqiu's face suddenly changed, his arrogance suddenly weakened, his face was pale, and he was obviously a little afraid.

Bo Xinlan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Zhiqiu, then turned to Mama Liu and said, "Mama Liu, this palace doesn't quite understand the meaning of this 'red plum in the snow', so I'm tired of Mama telling this palace." ”

"Yes", Mama Zhong replied, and said, "This red plum in the snow is very simple to use, that is, use a silver needle to pick up the nails, and when the nails are blurred, put the prisoner's hand into a basin full of salt. Mama Liu said.

Just listening to it, Zhiqiu was already trembling with fright, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

Bo Xinlan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Yo...... This is really a beautiful punishment, and it seems that this palace has chosen the right one. The girl in Zhiqiu has white and tender skin, and she must be beautiful with this red plum in the snow. ”

Mama Liu took advantage of Bo Xinlan's gaze to fall on Zhiqiu, and glanced at Zhiqiu very worriedly, in order to be neutral. But on the lips, she should accept Bo Xinlan and said: "Niangniang is right." ”

"Okay, let's stop being verbose, hurry up and let this red plum in the snow decorate the appearance of Miss Zhiqiu." Bo Xinlan Road.

While speaking, Mama Zhong had already taken a copper basin and a bench, and in the basin was a small cloth bag, in which there was only a row of thick needles. The bench was used to place these torture instruments, and as for the silver needle, it was naturally used to pick people's fingernails. Bo Xinlan knew what this "red plum in the snow" was, as she said, this set of punishments was simple and convenient, and it didn't take much to use it, just let Mama Zhong press Zhiqiu's hand on the stool.

"Zhiqiu ......", Bo Xinlan slowly raised her eyes and said with a smile, "What do you think of these things?" Is it to your liking? ”

"Bo Xinlan! Don't be too arrogant! Why do you use your personal deeds against me? The Queen Mother and the Emperor let you investigate the case, but they didn't let you bend to me! Aren't you afraid that I will sue you in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor? Just looking at these torture instruments, Zhiqiu was already trembling with fright.

Bo Xinlan said with a smile: "This palace used a lynching of you in the Shen Penal Division, and it didn't call you to Zhongcui Palace, how can it be regarded as lynching?" What's more, these punishments in the Prudential Punishment Division were originally reserved for the criminals who refused to admit their guilt, and this palace beckoned it to you, just to help investigate the case, how can it be regarded as a trick? Can this palace beat you? It's just that I'm interrogating you according to the trial rules of the Criminal Justice Division. If you want to sue, you can go to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and it's up to you. ”

"Bo Xinlan! You think you can really cover the sky with one hand! You think that no one can control you! Don't be too arrogant! If you dare to torture me, there will be the day you cry! "Zhiqiu Road.

Bo Xinlan shook her head and smiled, looking magnanimous and not caring with Zhiqiu. Instructed Mama Zhong to say, "Mama, do it." ”

"Yes." Mama Zhong had no choice but to respond, put the torture instrument in front of Zhiqiu, and went to arrest Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu rushed forward, wanting to knock down the basin full of salt, but where could he compare to Mama Zhong's speed? As soon as she rushed forward, Mama Zhong had already hugged her from behind and pressed her hand on the bench!

Mama Zhong has a strong body, her strength is even greater than that of ordinary men, and her hands are so neat that people don't have time to struggle. Mama Zhong is two heads taller than Zhiqiu, a woman, who is nearly eight feet tall, completely shackles Zhiqiu at this time, so that Zhiqiu can't move at all.

Seeing this, Mama Liu also knew that if she delayed, she would definitely make Bo Xinlan hold a grudge. Therefore, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the needle bag in the salt basin, took out a silver needle that was two thick enough to do work, grabbed one of Zhiqiu's fingers, and was about to stab it down.
