Chapter 730: On the way to trial
Zhiqiu sneered and said, "I have a good life, and I have the life to be a wife." Why, do you envy? ”
"Yes, how can this palace not be envious...... Bo Xinlan sighed, "This palace has been ruined in this life as a concubine." If not, with the virtue of this palace, how can you end up in a stable life, and you will not be repeatedly remembered by bad people. But Zhiqiu, you have this good fate, whether you can keep it, but that's another story. Zhiqiu, this palace asks you, who does your good life depend on? ”
"Naturally, it's me, and the blessing of my ancestors, is it possible that I still rely on you?" Zhiqiu Road.
"Your own beauty and intelligence and your ancestors' feng shui are the causes, but the main thing is not in these two. Your good life, the most important thing, still depends on Zhuo wine. You also saw the end of early summer, and tossed it a lot, but it was a laughing stock. Zhiqiu, think about it, if you can't marry Zhuo Jiu, or Zhuo Jiu suffers a disaster, is your good life still there? ”
Zhiqiu said angrily: "Zhuo Jiu treats me well, what is there to say that I can't get married?" Zhuo Jiu has always been loyal to His Majesty and has always acted steadily, so how can he say that he has suffered from disaster? You don't want to curse, you won't get anything! ”
"Hehe......" Bo Xinlan sneered, and sure enough, she didn't say anything more. just gave Dongxue a look and said, "Show her." ”
"Yes." Winter Snow answered, and went to the room on the right.
With the person on his back, he took out a piece of paper in the small pocket sewn under his trousers, on which were densely written.
Dongxue took out this piece of paper, threw it to Zhiqiu with one hand, and said, "Take a look for yourself, if these things reach Your Majesty's eyes, will your Zhuojiu brother still live?" ”
Zhiqiu took the piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but change his complexion...... What is written above is the oil and water that Zhuo Jiu embezzled when he was doing things for His Majesty, not only the silver money on His Majesty's side, but also the filial piety given by the other party, and the silver taels that were scavenged and deducted at the bottom, one by one, even the days and hours are clearly written!
"Zhiqiu, do you think that this palace can enter the palace as a commoner and be a concubine, just because your aunt and grandmother are on an errand in the palace? If the family didn't have some planning and skills, how could they get this to this point? We are indeed the only one in the palace, but because we think well and know how to plan and use, this palace has the status it has today......"
"You've also seen the brother of this palace, is he a reckless person? I might as well tell you that since the palace entered the palace, it has been intentional about this dispute, and the elder brother of the palace has been staring at these useful things for the palace as a businessman. Not only Zhuo wine, but also the disgrace of other people in the house, this palace also has. It's just that now it seems that among these people, there is only Zhuo wine that can be used in this palace. Zhiqiu, you say...... This thing in your hand, do you use it in this palace, or do you not use it? ”
Actually, where did she get this thing herself? It was Qin Yingyue's idea. Qin Yingyue meant that although everything was written in detail, Zhiqiu didn't know these people anyway, and he didn't have the opportunity to ask Zhuo Jiu anything in person, as long as Zhuo Jiu wrote the right time when Zhuo Jiu went out to do errands, he could deceive Zhiqiu. As for whether Zhuo Jiu is greedy for money outside, they actually don't know.
And even if Qin Yingyue knew, it would be impossible to tell her the truth, wouldn't she keep it for herself?
But judging from Zhiqiu's reaction now, she believes it. It is also said that Qin Yingyue has a heart, and she doesn't remember when Zhuo Jiu went out to do things for His Royal Highness, but Qin Yingyue can say it clearly, and most of them are before Qin Yingyue came to the palace. This woman's deep thinking and far-reaching planning really make people think coldly.
Zhiqiu took a closer look, and saw that the few Zhuo Jiu she knew were written on it at the right time when Zhuo Jiu went out to run errands, and two of them, Zhuo Jiu had also mentioned it to her. When he talked about it, he was talking about how rich the Wang family was, and said that the little son of the Wang family had the intention of taking the imperial examination, and asked him if he could help. At that time, when Zhuo Jiu talked about it, there was a faint smug in his words.
She just listened to a joke from outside, and she didn't even ask Zhuo Jiu "Can you help" at that time, because she never thought that Zhuo Jiu would do such a thing. But Zhuo Jiu did say that he had a lot of savings in his hands, and once he had the opportunity to go out and build a house, he would definitely let her live the life of Mrs. Kuo.
Zhuo Jiu works beside His Majesty, and he naturally gets a lot of rewards, but after all, he is just a servant who does things, no matter how broad he is, he can't go to a rich businessman, but between words on weekdays, Zhuo Jiu seems to be quite indifferent to those broad masters' family backgrounds, and he doesn't think that their net worth is a big deal, as if these people's family backgrounds are not as rich as his.
Zhuo Jiu often likes to joke on weekdays, and is willing to pretend to be arrogant in front of her, she just thinks that Zhuo Jiu is making her happy, so she never takes some of Zhuo Jiu's attitudes to heart. But as soon as she was paired with the things written on this piece of paper, she realized the reason and knew that things were not as simple as she thought. Some of Zhuo Jiu's inappropriate jokes on weekdays are not just to amuse her, but they do have a foundation and will be like this.
Bo Xinlan saw the change in Zhiqiu's face, and knew that she really believed it, not to mention that she believed it completely, how could she have seven or eight points. also knows that this is inseparable from Zhuo Jiu's usual temperament. Zhuo Jiu has served by His Majesty's side all the year round, and it is indispensable to be contaminated with His Majesty's jokes, plus after all, he is young, and he is afraid that he will inevitably talk to Zhiqiu on weekdays. These little problems in temperament don't matter if they are ordinary, but they make people think that this young man is very smart and lively, but when they are paired with some "conclusive" things, they become evidence of crime.
As for the remaining bit of unbelief, she naturally has the ability to turn them into "belief".
There was not much time, and Bo Xinlan didn't delay much, but gave Dongxue a look and motioned for her to draw back Zhuo Jiu's "incriminating evidence". Dongxue nodded, and while Zhiqiu was thinking about it, he suddenly pulled back the paper in Zhiqiu's hand. Zhiqiu instinctively rushed up to grab it, but when Dongxue saw this, he didn't dodge, but instead stuffed the paper back into Zhiqiu's arms, and said with a smile: "Here you go!" What a good thing! Since we dare to show you this thing, we are prepared. My mother remembers everything, but I'll just go back and write it again. ”
Bo Xinlan sneered and said, "Miss Zhiqiu, why didn't I find out that you are such an arrogant character?" You put this piece of paper in your arms, do you plan to wait for Mama Zhong and Mama Liu to look at it, and hand it over to Your Majesty instead of you, and expose Zhuo Jiu? Hehe...... It's fun to do things like this, and I really admire this palace. ”
Zhiqiu was a little flustered by what the master and servant said, and for a while, he felt that this piece of paper was not only useless in his hands, but a scourge. No matter how she hides, she can't escape her body. Wait a minute, if Bo Xinlan is to torture her, wherever this piece of paper is hidden, it will inevitably fall out. If someone else sees it, how should it end?
"Miss Zhiqiu, as an outsider, this palace has to say...... Zhuo Jiu is infatuated with you, but he really paid it wrongly. Did you see that? Since you came back from your trip with His Royal Highness Sanhuai, Zhuo Jiu's greed for money has intensified, what is the reason why he is so anxious to collect money? Well? Is it because he thinks his life is too long, or is there something he needs to do in a hurry for a few years? ”
Bo Xinlan smiled and said, "Miss Zhiqiu, in order to let you live a good life, Zhuo Jiu secretly worked hard, just waiting to marry you home to make you happy." It's good for you, in order to ask for merit from your master, you plan to sell him. In good conscience, are you okay? ”
When Zhiqiu heard this, his breathing couldn't help but become more and more rapid, but he felt that this piece of paper was too hot in his hands, and he felt that he couldn't stand it for a moment. But you can't give it to the winter snow, what if the winter snow is not put away and someone finds out? She must not let Zhuo Jiu suffer, absolutely not!
In a hurry, he threw the paper into a ball, put it in his mouth, chewed it indiscriminately, tilted his neck, and swallowed it.
When Bo Xinlan saw Zhiqiu's reaction, she knew that the matter of making Zhiqiu confess was already halfway there. The rest of that...... There is no way, since her brain is chaotic and she has surrounded herself, she can only wait for Zhuo Jiu to come over.
But if you think about it, calling Zhuo Jiu over is actually not a good thing.
After all, in Zhiqiu's confession, Zhuo Jiu is a very important point, if she ignores this point and directly condemns Zhiqiu, it will inevitably be true, when Zhuo Jiu is called over to ask about it, it will be impossible for anyone to find fault with her from above.
And Zhuo Jiu's kid has always been smart, seeing that Zhiqiu has been imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division, even if he doesn't like Zhiqiu so much in his heart, it is impossible to say something similar to exposing Zhiqiu in front of Zhiqiu. No matter what, you have to make a show and help Zhiqiu cover up. Of course, sooner or later, his cover-up will be revealed. Because whether His Majesty has called him over or not, he will know when he comes to His Majesty.
If His Majesty didn't call him over, but he went into the imperial dining room to meet in the imperial dining room, then he must have secretly entered the palace. But yesterday's night banquet in Penglai Palace, the envoys of all countries came, and the defense in the palace was much heavier than usual.
So no matter what Zhuo Jiu said, in the end, it would only confirm that Zhiqiu lied. And calling Zhuo Jiu over, on the contrary, it can completely confuse Zhiqiu's intention to identify Dong Xue, and people will pay attention to Zhuo Jiu, not Dong Xue.
"Zhiqiu......" Bo Xinlan said with a smile, "Now there is no one else in this Shen Punishment Division, and this palace will not go around with you." We don't say secret words, and the poisoning is because the three of us present deliberately framed you. But now that the evidence is conclusive, what can you do if you know that you have been framed? Who would believe it? Who will save you? ”
Bo Xinlan's eyes showed a look of pity, and she said, "How smart is your master?" Even if she is confined to the palace by His Majesty, as long as she wants to, she will definitely be able to come up with a way to save you. But when is it now? At this time, it was already the afternoon of the second day after you joined the Shen Xing Division, but there was still no movement on your master's side. Isn't she afraid that you will suffer in the Prudent Division? ”
Bo Xinlan glanced at Dong Xue and said, "Even though Dong Xue has not followed Bengong since she was a child, Bengong also thinks about her in her heart. Originally, this palace could recuperate in the palace for a few days and then deal with this matter, but why did you have to come over as soon as you woke up? Because this palace is afraid of suffering from winter snow...... Now it seems that the queen mother usually calls you sisters and sisters, but she is just lip service. Once something happens, I don't see her heart at all. ”
