Hua Zhen glanced at Xiaorui when she heard the words and nodded: "Last night, Xiaorui came over with a plate of pastries and said that Miss Fifth asked her to send them, because they were pastries coated with honey, I have never liked sweet and greasy things, so I gave it to her." But the maid refused, and I felt that there was something strange in the pastry, so I let her out. Then the maid said that she had a lot of abdominal pain, and because it was from my cousin's yard after all, I asked her to send her back. ”

"That's the only way?"

"Only then did I never see her again. Vera whispered.

Li Yu then looked at Fluttershy, "What kind of pastry did you five young ladies let her send?"

Hearing this, Fluttershy was suddenly a little puzzled: "Miss Five has never asked anyone to send any food to the county lord, because the county lord's food is a single portion of the kitchen, Miss Five eats with kilometers, and Miss has some county lords, and Miss never asks someone to send food to the county lord, so it is impossible to tell Xiaorui to deliver pastries." ”

For a moment, everyone's brows furrowed.

Hua Zhen looked at Xiaorui, and even covered her heart: "When Xiaorui came yesterday, all the people in my yard saw it, she was carrying a food box in her hand, but I never liked to eat these sweet and greasy things, so I asked her to go back first without even looking at it." ”

Saying that, Hua Zhen looked at Li Yu: "My lord, I am afraid that someone is behind this Xiaorui." ”

Fluttershy knelt on the ground with a group of maids, "Lord Qiyu, last afternoon, Red Sleeves came to see Xiaorui. Because Red Sleeves and Xiaorui are fellow villagers, she often comes to Xiaorui, and the slave maid didn't care about it originally, but now think about it, before Xiaorui was sent back by the county lord, only Red Sleeves came to look for her. Although she is the maid who serves by my young lady's side, she has absolutely nothing to do with my young lady at this time. ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Red Sleeves.

Red Sleeves didn't expect Xiaorui to die, when she saw Xiaorui's corpse, she was a little panicked, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she was even more scared.

Suddenly, he couldn't even speak clearly: "My lord... I... I..."

Li Yu looked at where it would not be clear, and immediately snorted coldly: "Red sleeves, did you poison Xiaorui." ”

"My lord, the slave didn't, the slave didn't harm her, the slave really didn't. Redsleeves knelt on the ground, and his body began to tremble.

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Red Sleeves: "Red Sleeves, you stain the hibiscus cake I added arsenic to you, and you want to poison your aunt." But now Xiaorui, how do you explain, Xiaorui only saw you before she died, except for me, this is a matter of everyone's eyes, and now she has died of arsenic, how should you explain. ”

"It's you, it's you who poisoned Xiaorui, yes, it's you!" Red Sleeves was a little flustered at the moment, she didn't think about how Xiaorui would die, she just thought that Xiaorui had missed.

"Red Sleeves, you now say that I poisoned Xiaorui, do you have evidence? Why did I poison Xiaorui? If I say that my aunt was because she wronged me, then what about Xiaorui? She has no relatives with me, and she has never even met, why do I still poison her in my own yard? After all, when she entered my Zhixiang Garden, many people watched, if I poisoned her, wouldn't I be afraid that others would see it? And when Jiaoyue and Jiang Fu sent her back, she was still fine, how do you explain this?" Hua Zhen said one sentence at a time, forcing the red sleeves to be unable to hold it anymore.

Kneeling on the ground, beads of sweat on his forehead.

Thinking of Shen Yulin's words, if she hadn't been able to put all the blame on Hua Zhen's body, Shen Yulin would definitely not let go of her father and mother.

At this moment, the people who had gone out to look for the medicine shop also rushed back.

Li Yu looked at it and asked in a cold voice, "Can you find it?"

Hearing this, the yacha said respectfully: "Because no one will buy arsenic at all, my subordinates found a pharmacy, which is a pharmacy behind Sixi Hutong, and my subordinates have brought the pharmacy shopkeeper over." ”

Li Yu waved his hand when he heard this, and Yacha immediately pressed a man in his forties to kneel.

The man was not tall, with a hooked nose and a mustache on his face.

As soon as he came up, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Li Yu asked coldly: "Let me ask you, has someone recently bought arsenic from your pharmacy?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Yes, it was last afternoon, a very expensive maid came to buy it, because arsenic is rarely bought, so the little one remembers it very clearly." This maid was dressed in light green clothes, and she looked pretty good, with a flying phoenix and a beaded flower on her head. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu interrupted him, pointed to the back sleeve and Jiaoyue, and asked, "Can you look here?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded and looked at it.

Red Sleeves was suddenly a little nervous, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

The shopkeeper looked at the red sleeves, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiaoyue: "It's her, she went to the small shop to buy arsenic last afternoon, and specially gave the small two taels of silver, so that the little one should not say it." ”

When Jiaoyue heard this, her face changed and she looked at the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, you really open your eyes and talk nonsense, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, when have I been to your shop, don't you feel sorry if you talk like this?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper knelt on the ground and didn't speak, just looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu immediately slapped the stunned wood: "The official didn't ask, so he wanted to interject." ”

Immediately made Jiaoyue very angry, but she was glared at by Hua Zhen, and then swallowed her words back.

Hua Zhen looked at Li Yu when she heard this: "My lord, can you ask the shopkeeper a few words?"

Hearing this, Li Yu looked at Prince Li's face and nodded: "Ask." ”

Hua Zhen looked at the shopkeeper at this time: "You said that because no one has bought arsenic recently, and ordinary people don't buy this thing, you remember it very clearly, but?"

"Yes. ”

"Then let me ask you, did the maid who went to buy arsenic from you yesterday have a scar on her forehead, and at the top of her eye, it is as big as a copper coin?" said a pair of inky black eyes staring at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was suddenly a little nervous, and couldn't answer for a while: "I... I don't remember. ”

"The shopkeeper can see clearly what color of clothes my maid is wearing, and what kind of pattern the beaded flowers are on her head, and the scar will be so obvious on the face that you can't see it? The shopkeeper keeps saying that he remembers it clearly, but he doesn't even remember the scar on my maid's head, and it seems that he is framing my maid. Hua Hao said with a hint of coldness on her face.

Suddenly frightened, the shopkeeper's heart trembled, and he looked at the back of Jiaoyue, because he was flustered just now, he didn't look at it at all, and he didn't know that Jiaoyue had a scar on his forehead.

Now listening to Hua Zhen's words, I didn't feel the taste, and immediately said: "There is a scar, the size of a copper coin, but because this girl looks good, I didn't dare to look at her face more, so I didn't remember it." Yes, yes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Yu's face change, and he was shocked: "Boldly Diao Min, the lobby of the Criminal Department dares to lie openly!"

"The little ones don't dare, the adults forgive their sins, the little ones say everything is true, and the little ones really don't dare. The shopkeeper was suddenly frightened and panicked, and kowtowed vigorously.

Prince Li, who had been sitting silently next to him, couldn't help but sneer at this moment and said, "Take a good look at the scars on Jiaoyue's face. ”

Hearing this, Jiaoyue turned around very cooperatively, and there was no scar on her smooth forehead.

The shopkeeper's heart suddenly sank, and he pointed at Hua Zhen: "The adult is her, the villain she misled, the villain didn't see it clearly, he only remembered the girl's clothes and appearance." ”

"I can remember my appearance, but I can't remember if there is a scar on my face, the shopkeeper, you really remember your appearance like this. Hua Zhen said with a sneer.

The shopkeeper couldn't even speak.

Li Yu still didn't understand anything, and immediately patted the shock: "Be bold and make a fool of the people, and you haven't recruited it from the truth." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper knelt on the ground and trembled, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Prince Li said in a cold voice: "This king reminds you that if you lie in the court and disturb the court, you will be punished with a cane of thirty strokes, and you will be imprisoned at the worst." You just pointed at the county lord of Qinghe, and slandering the county lord of Qinghe like this is slandering the royal family, which is a crime to be killed. ”

Suddenly, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Looking up at Hua Zhen: "You are the county lord of Qinghe." ”

"Didn't the person who brought you here tell you who you were going to frame?" Hua Zhen nodded and said softly.

This sentence is undoubtedly the last straw, which completely makes the shopkeeper unable to bear it.

Seeing this, Shen Chongmao knew that he was not good, and immediately said loudly: "Lord Li, Prince Li is threatening and scaring witnesses, so he doesn't dare to tell the truth. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu glanced at Shen Chongmao coldly, and then said: "What the prince said is true, the Duke of Jin has served in the Ministry for such a long time, it is not that he has not even remembered the law of Dayan. Those who disturb the court will be punished with a cane for 30 years, and those who will be imprisoned for three to ten years. ”

Listening to Li Yu's words, the shopkeeper's body knelt on the ground, trembling constantly.

Even his voice trembled: "My lord, I move, my lord, I move." ”

Hearing this, Li Yu looked at the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Who the hell asked you to frame the county lord of Qinghe." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper trembled and said: "The little one doesn't know, it's a girl who came, about the same age as them, and she was very generous, and gave me twenty taels of silver, saying that if it was done, there would be one hundred taels." The little one was also lost in his fortune for a while, so he agreed to help them perjury. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the shopkeeper: "You haven't seen my maid, how can you be so sure that it is her who wants to testify?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at Hua Zhen, and then pointed to the red sleeves in fright: "They told me that the person who will kneel on the ground at that time, as long as it is not her, will be right to identify the other one." ”

"What do you mean, do you know her?" Hua Hao pointed to Red Sleeves when she heard this.

I saw the shopkeeper nod.

Li Yu immediately asked, "How do you know her?"

Red Sleeves was so distraught at the moment that he knelt on the ground and didn't know what to do.

I listened to the shopkeeper say: "It's the arsenic she bought at my pharmacy, I know it." ”

"You're talking nonsense, I've never been there at all, you're talking nonsense!" Red Sleeves retorted when he heard this.

Then I didn't know where I got the courage, and looked at Li Yu: "My lord, you must believe me, he is all nonsense, I have never seen him at all." This person seems to have framed Kyaukyue, and now he is framing the slave and the maid, who have never seen him at all. ”
