"In other words, Jiaojiao deliberately played a bitter trick?"

"Yes......"

"What is Jiaojiao's purpose?" The old emperor asked with a smile.

"Yes......"

"In this way, Jiaojiao was attacked in Xiangguo Temple before, and this coma is all her own plan?" The old emperor smiled slightly and looked at the bloody man on the ground, "Then what is the purpose of you telling me Jiaojiao?" Identity? Who is the person here who can be bigger than Jiaojiao? Calculate? With Jiaojiao's identity and status, she needs to use her body as an introduction to calculate the people here? ”

A mocking tone.

Qin Dongshan was ashamed and annoyed.

The old emperor's words are right, but saying it so naked, naked, and naked is undoubtedly a slap in the face, whether it is identity or power, a father is not even as good as a daughter, this is the biggest joke!

The old emperor continued: "I really want to know, how did you wronged you when you said you were wronged? You say, Jiaojiao took the arsenic and frost from you, where did the arsenic and frost come from? ”

Mama Gong was so angry that she couldn't answer, Xinghua said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, there are mice in Miss's yard, so a few years ago, I took some arsenic and frost from Aunt Ji for medicinal mice, and the remaining part was held by Mama Gong." ”

"Then how do you prove that the arsenic and frost were eaten by Jiaojiao herself, not by Mama Gong, or by others?" The old emperor said patiently.

The words are all spoken by people, even if the arsenic and frost are really from Qinwan's yard, they can't prove anything.

There are more people who can come into contact with these things, and anyone can possibly do it, not to mention, Qin Wan learned it in the emperor.

The old emperor felt that many people could be poisoned, but it would not be Qin Wan.

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid can't prove it." Xinghua shook her head honestly.

The old emperor continued: "Also, that time in Xiangguo Temple, I thought that Jiaojiao didn't have that much ability. ”

Qin Wan is only six years old, where does she find those thieves, and how do she connect?

Hiring those people is a lot of money, not to mention whether Qin Wan can take it out, even Bai Zhishui will not easily let Qin Wan go out alone, let alone ......

The old emperor chuckled.

This is not the case with what he found.

"And the time when I fell into the water," the old emperor settled the old accounts one by one, "I didn't expect Jiaojiao's ability to be so great that she could control Su Mengzhi and use her hand to almost kill herself?" Mama Gong, you are so smart, can you tell me what Jiaojiao's purpose is? The old emperor looked at Mama Gong with a smile.

Because of the injuries on her body and the fear in her heart, Mama Gong couldn't say a word.

And the old emperor didn't wait for Mama Gong to answer, almost at the same moment when his words fell, Bai Yong's people came in with two people who were similar to shopkeepers, "Your Majesty, everyone has brought." ”

Seeing the old emperor nodding, Bai Yong said to the people behind him, "Say what you said before. ”

"Yes, Master Jun."

Both of them trembled, the people were afraid of officials, and they had been doing their duty conscientiously in this life, but they didn't expect to be invited by officials one day, let alone meet the saint.

After the initial excitement, both of them were scared, but on the way here, the two were instructed by Bai Yong, to tell the truth, the saint would not embarrass them.

"The grass people have seen the emperor," he barely said a coherent sentence, and the middle-aged man secretly gasped twice, "The grass people are the shopkeepers of the 'hanging pot'. ”

"Your Majesty, 'Hanging Pot' is the largest pharmacy in Shengjing, a century-old brand, and has branches in other places in Longdu." Gonggong Wen quietly added a few words in the old emperor's ear.

The old emperor nodded slightly, and it was suitable for the middle-aged man to continue.

"Caomin's surname is Wei, and he has been the shopkeeper of the 'Hanging Pot' for 20 years, and the 'Hanging Pot' has always been an honest business, and he will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason!" After indicating the position of the pharmacy, Shopkeeper Wei took out the account book from his sleeve pocket and offered it with both hands, "This is the current account of the 'hanging pot', which records in detail how much arsenic and frost are sold each month and to whom. Of course, for some reason, the names on it cannot be verified one by one, but the procurement of large households is managed by special personnel, so many of them are old faces. ”

"That's a good idea." The old emperor nodded approvingly.

"Emperor Xie praises." For this, the shopkeeper Wei is very proud,

After all, it is a century-old store, and it will always be involved in some pickled things and get into lawsuits, so the owner came up with such a way, and everything that may be fatal such as arsenic and frost must be registered when buying and selling.

Of course, there is no shortage of some of them using fake names, but the "hanging pot" is just a medicine shop, as long as it can be left alone when it comes to certain things, and the rest is not in their scope of consideration.

The old emperor flipped through it casually, "Madame Qin, do you think there is anything wrong with the names here?" ”

After all, only Bai Zhishui knows best.

"This Chu Xiang, the old slave remembers that it is a person from Aunt Ji's yard." Mama Xia pointed to the names on the ledger and said.

"Call someone first." Bai Zhishui's expression was unusually calm, without a little anger, but Mama Xia knew that such Bai Zhishui was the most dangerous.

Hatsuka knelt on the ground with a timid expression on her face.

Ji had a faint bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Hatsuka is a person in her yard, if it weren't for today's incident, she wouldn't have noticed such a person, looking at the girl's dress, she should be a rough maid.

The person who was inserted in Angelica water?

No.

Ji still has this self-confidence, she has been in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, it would be good not to put people in other people's yards, no one can stuff people into her yard under her nose.

So, what's the matter with Hatsuka going to buy arsenic and cream?

Without waiting for her to think of a reason to come out, Hatsuka spoke, "Go back, go back to the emperor, the slave maid went to buy arsenic and frost." ”

Shopkeeper Wei breathed a sigh of relief slightly, this matter has nothing to do with the "hanging pot".

"How much did you buy and what did you use it for?" The old emperor asked majestically.

Although there was still a frightened expression on her face, when Chu Xiang spoke, her voice was quite steady, "Back to the emperor, the slave maid is a person in Aunt Ji's courtyard, and she is a rough maid. A few years ago, Aunt Lu went to Aunt Ji's yard, but Aunt Ji was not there, so Aunt Lu stopped the slave and asked the slave to help her buy some arsenic and frost. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Aunt Lu held Qin Mingrou's hand, even though she knew that she couldn't interrupt the old emperor's questioning, but it was a matter of life and death for her, her brain was hot, and she howled.

"Presumptuous!" Gong Wen reprimanded.

Sure enough, there are no rules.

"The Emperor, the Emperor's ......"

The old emperor frowned, Qin Dongshan glared at Aunt Lu viciously, and Aunt Lu did not continue.

Chu Xiang continued: "Aunt Lu is looking for Aunt Ji because there are rats in her yard, so she wants to get some arsenic and frost, because Aunt Ji is not there, and Aunt Lu is not willing to wait, so she asked the slave to buy it." ”

"You are from the Ji family's yard, why did Aunt Lu let you buy arsenic and frost? Since she can buy it herself, why should she look for Ji's? "It was Bai Yong who asked the question, he didn't take sides and talked about things.

Although Chu Xiang tried her best to control her emotions, the fear on her face was real, and when Bai Yong asked this, her face immediately turned white.

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly." Bai Yong comforted.

Chu Xiang swallowed her saliva and nodded, "Because the middle feed in the house has always been in the hands of Aunt Ji, so Aunt Lu will come to Aunt Ji." Because of the good relationship between the two aunts, Aunt Lu often went to the 'Lotus Courtyard' to sit. ”

This explains why Aunt Lu would personally find the Ji family instead of letting someone come over.

"At that time, Aunt Ji was very busy, firstly because it was the end of the year and there were many things to deal with, and secondly, because the old lady was going to Beijing, and there were a lot of things in the house. Aunt Lu came several times, but she didn't wait for Aunt Ji, although she also left a message, but because Aunt Ji was busy and didn't deal with this matter, Aunt Lu was angry and simply asked the slave to buy arsenic and frost. ”

This also seems reasonable.

"The slave maid bought half a penny according to her aunt's instructions."

The amount is not much, and it is used to medicine mice, so Hatsuka left her real name.

"Lu, what do you have to say?"

Aunt Lu had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, so as soon as Bai Yong's words fell, she hurriedly defended: "Back to the emperor, back to the general, the slave maid never asked this person to buy arsenic and frost, the slave maid didn't even know who she was, if it wasn't for General Bai to bring her, the slave maid wouldn't know that there was such a person in Aunt Ji's yard." Moreover, if the slave and maid really want to harm the county lord of Anping, they will also ask the henchmen around them to buy it, and ask a stranger not to say it for no reason, or in someone else's yard, which doesn't make sense at all. ”

Aunt Lu's analysis is very reasonable, this kind of thing is usually done by henchmen, which is reassuring, a stranger who doesn't know the root cause and has no handle will not do such a stupid thing unless her head is in water. What's more, this person is still in the courtyard of the Ji family, isn't this a big handle in the hands of the Ji family?

"Back to the emperor," Chu Xiang was also anxious, "The slave maid couldn't tell why Aunt Lu would let the slave maid buy arsenic and frost, but the slave maid swore that everything the slave said was the truth!" ”

"Your Majesty, slaves and maids can also swear!" Aunt Lu also swore and said.

The old emperor pondered for a few seconds, but said, "Since you know what you bought from the 'Hanging Pot', why don't you report it to the Ji family?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid reported, but Aunt Ji didn't say anything."

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know at all." Ji interrupted the old emperor's words out of fear.

The old emperor was not annoyed and motioned for Ji to continue.

Ji glanced at Qin Dongshan before saying: "Back to the emperor, at the end of the year, there are many things in the house, but there are people in the slave and maid's yard, and the slave and maid are still clear, not to mention, Aunt Lu has something to find the slave and maid, and the people around the slave and maid will definitely deliver a message, this matter is just a matter of one sentence." ”

So she doesn't have to do it herself, as long as she is instructed, not to mention, Aunt Lu can go to the warehouse to get it and buy it from the outside, isn't it easier to expose?
