Chapter 518: The murderer was found in five days
"Five days? That's too short, right? An Shuhui couldn't help but say.
Queen Liu raised her eyebrows, "Just five days, Jiang Wanxiu, if you think you can't do it, then let the people from the Criminal Department investigate." ”
If the Criminal Department is allowed to intervene, Jiang Wanxiu will have no chance to offset the merits.
If you want to avoid the responsibility of negligence, you can only find out the real culprit yourself.
Within five days.
"Okay, five days, the concubine will obey the order." Jiang Wanxiu agreed.
The queen looked at her with a smile on her face, "Jiang Wanxiu, then it's hard for you, this palace has confidence in you, five days later, wait for your good news, and drive back to the palace." ”
"Congratulations to the Queen."
As soon as the queen left, An Shuhui and others surrounded her with concern.
"Wan Xiu, there are only five days, and there are no clues, how can I check this."
"That's right, the queen mother is too strong, even if you call the people from the criminal department, it is impossible to find out in five days, why only give you five days."
"Mrs. Zhanggong, you don't want to go to someone to plead for mercy anymore, and let the queen have a few days."
Jiang Wanxiu waved her hand at everyone, "I understand everyone's concern, let's disperse first, I have my own arrangements for this matter." ”
Mei Lanxin looked at this scene and felt dark in her heart.
Within five days, how could the murderer be found.
Jiang Wanxiu, you're done playing.
……
At dusk, the garden is secluded.
"I don't know what the adults are calling, what do you command?" The scholar asked.
The woman in the long skirt raised her eyebrows lightly and said: "Jiang Wanxiu should have suspected Gu Pity, but I don't know why, but she dispelled her suspicion of Gu Pity, and you tried to spread the news to Ye Yao'er and let her know that it was Gu Pity who killed Ceylon at the time of the murder, just because Gu Pity and Jiang Wanxiu were old acquaintances, so Jiang Wanxiu shielded her." ”
"Old knowledge? The two of them know each other? "The student was a little confused.
"Hmm." The woman in the long dress nodded.
The scholar reacted and nodded, "I understand what the adults mean." It's just that Jiang Wanxiu doesn't catch Gu pity, and it is just right that she can't find the real culprit. Why should we do this extra to help her create a 'murderer'. If Jiang Wanxiu couldn't find out the real culprit within five days, she would take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and hand over Gu Pity to the queen as a prisoner, wouldn't it have done her a great favor. ”
"You think Jiang Wanxiu is too simple, let her investigate, who knows what she will find out, so just throw out an ancient pity and give her a few days of trouble. After all, there are only five days, and as soon as the five days arrive, the dust settles. ”
The woman in the long skirt glanced at her, and there was a little deep between her eyebrows: "If Jiang Wanxiu really takes pity on the ancients, and when the iron case is completed, she will preach that Jiang Wanxiu can't find the real murderer, and she will take innocent people to atone." Gu pity's grandfather, as the president of Wangjiang Academy, is full of peaches and plums, and when the time comes, everyone in the world will talk about this matter, even the imperial court can't help the pressure, and the retrial of this case is innocent, as long as it is retried, it will be innocent. At that time, Jiang Wanxiu's crime will be enough to be imprisoned for several years. ”
The scholar looked happy, "Yes, my lord is really clever, but Jiang Wanxiu doesn't take pity on the ancients?" ”
That's why she let Ye Yao'er and the others make trouble, if they don't catch Gu Pity, Jiang Wanxiu is covering up, even if she finds other clues, it can be said that she is clearing Gu Pity's charges. Catch Gu pity, she is framing the innocent, temporarily handed over, but immediately collapsed completely. No matter which move she chosen, this time, she was doomed. The woman in the long skirt said lightly.
The scholar nodded again and again, "The little one understands." Do as you are told. ”
The scholar went down to make arrangements, but the woman in the long skirt sighed.
Since Jiang Wanxiu dared to promise to find out the real culprit within five days, she must have a certain degree of certainty, but she couldn't guess what her certainty was.
It's disturbing not to know what the other party will do.
What would I do if I were Jiang Wanxiu?
The woman in the long skirt thought about it for a long time, and felt that this was already a dead end and could not be broken.
……
Yunxiao Pavilion.
The night is dark, and the hibiscus tent is warm.
"Fetch something for me." Jiang Wanxiu nestled in Song Yuanxi's arms, her fingers wrapped around his black hair, and her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of laziness.
Song Yuanxi hugged the little woman in her arms, she already understood what she wanted to do, her thin lips were slightly raised, "Take one thing, and you can solve the case?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Wanxiu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and her mouth was as sweet as smearing honey, "With the son of the world to help me, is there anything in the world that I can't do?" ”
Song Yuanxi's deep eyes smiled slightly, "Madame ate candied fruit today?" ”
Lips came up.
"I'll taste it too." A deep, magnetic voice came, a deep kiss.
Jiang Wanxiu's face flushed.
……
The next morning, Yuanhuayuan.
"Madam, you can count it, early in the morning, Ye Yao'er took a group of ladies to surround the west pavilion of the courtyard, fortunately Gu Piti locked the door, otherwise they rushed in, I am afraid that there will be a brawl." Hu Yuerong reported.
Jiang Wanxiu raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?" How dare they be so bold. ”
"I heard that they think that Gu Pity is the murderer, and Madam, you are covering up the murderer, so they are dissatisfied and want to catch Gu Pity by themselves...... The head of the guard has already led people to maintain order, but these ladies are all daughters, and they don't dare to use force, and the situation is still deadlocked......"
Jiang Wanxiu didn't say a word, "Let's go, go over immediately." ”
At this time, the courtyard has been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
The head of the guard and the guards were guarding the West Pavilion, while Ye Yao'er and twenty or thirty ladies were in the East Pavilion, facing each other on both sides, and they could fight at any time.
"Stop! What do you do? Jiang Wanxiu said coldly, her eyes swept over the ladies.
These ladies saw Jiang Wanxiu's methods of rectification, and they didn't want to go against her, so they suddenly felt their scalps tingle, but looking at Ye Yao'er in front of them, they had to hold on.
"Jiang Wanxiu, you came just in time, Gu pity poisoned Sister Ceylon, why didn't you arrest her, but cover her up." Ye Yao'er took the lead and asked angrily.
Jiang Wanxiu looked at her coldly, "How can you arrest people without evidence." ”
"Excuses! We have all heard that it is the poison under Gu Pity, and in the entire Yuan Huayuan, only Gu Pity has enmity with Sister Ceylon. And both of them are fourth-grade girls, as long as Sister Ceylon is dead, Gu Pity will be the first rookie this year. Yuan Huayuan is tightly guarded, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the courtyard, let alone poison, only Gu pity, she and Sister Ceylon live in the same courtyard, and they will not be discovered. Ye Yao'er said angrily.
Jiang Wanxiu frowned, "What you said is just your inference, and you have to pay attention to evidence when arresting people." ”
"Whether there is evidence or not is not a matter of your words, you sincerely harbor Gu and pity, but I am afraid that the evidence will have been destroyed by you a long time ago."
Ye Yao'er smiled coldly, "Don't think that no one knows, you and Gu Pity are old acquaintances!" In order to cover up your past, you destroy the evidence and let the real culprit go unpunished. If you don't arrest someone, we will arrest her, arrest her and go to the queen mother! ”
Jiang Wanxiu's face sank, "Who said that I and her are old acquaintances?" ”
"What? Weak heart? I heard that you also have a good relationship with Gu Mercy's brother. Ye Yao'er said proudly, "No wonder you have been shielding her." ”
Ancient pity for the elder brother? Ancient family, ancient Changfeng?
Jiang Wanxiu reacted at this time.
She really knows Gu Changfeng, but she doesn't have any friendship with him, she can only say that she knows him, when did it become a good relationship?
Gu pitied her for the first time, and she still knew her old friends?
It seems that the murderer behind it really wants to catch Gu Piti by himself.
"Not to mention that I have never had a friendship with Gu Mercy, even if it is really an old acquaintance, and it involves human life, I will not cover it up."
Jiang Wanxiu said coldly: "There is no evidence, slander the female officials, it seems that you really have the need to be polite, Wang Weisi, expel them for me." ”
Wang Shijin received the order.
Ye Yao'er was anxious, "What are you doing, you are protecting Gu and pity, you are shielding!" You drove us away, but you can't stop the crowd! ”
"I believe that the lady of the palace will not shield the murderer!"
Shi Xilan walked out with the support of the two maidservants, looked at Ye Yao'er and said, "Yao'er, I know that you are unfair to me, but I believe that the lady of the palace, if there is evidence, she will definitely take pity on Gu." ”
Ye Yao'er didn't expect Shi Ceylon to come out and dismantle the stage again, and almost turned her face angrily, "Sister Ceylon, how can you believe her, you don't believe me." We're all for you, in order to find the person who harmed you, even if you are punished by her, it doesn't matter, how can you say such a thing. ”
"Yao'er, thank you, thank you for your kindness, I am a victim, I hope to catch the murderer more than anyone else, so please calm down, just wait for the lady of the palace to find out something." Shi Ceylon said seriously.
When everyone saw this, Ceylon said so, and Wang Shijin had already come to drive people away, so they had to leave.
Ye Yao'er's face was blue with anger, and she didn't even pay attention to Shi Ceylon asking her to stay and say a few words, and left angrily.
made two statements in succession, and Jiang Wanxiu's attitude towards Shi Ceylon also changed slightly.
After telling her to have a good rest, she went to the West Pavilion.
The commotion outside, Gu pity all knows.
At this time, Jiang Wanxiu came and dared to open the door.
"Scared just now?"
Jiang Wanxiu saw that her face was not good, and asked.
Gu pity lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "When I first heard the movement outside, I was really startled, but fortunately I locked the doors and windows, otherwise...... Later, Wang Weisi's people came, and I knew that I was safe, Mrs. Zhanggong, the courtiers are very sorry, I didn't expect to affect your reputation. ”
"It's okay, it's just a little gossip, I didn't pay attention, it turns out that you are Gu Changfeng's sister, I have met him, I am not familiar with him, but I still appreciate Gu Gongzi's personality."
Jiang Wanxiu smiled casually: "I want you to do me a favor, I can wash away the suspicion on you, and I can also test the real murderer for me." ”
Gu pity's eyes lit up, and he didn't say a word, "But it's sent by Madame." ”
"But it's a bit risky, you can consider it." Jiang Wanxiu said, took out a white jade bottle from her arms, and a droplet-shaped jasper earring, and put them on the table.
"This bottle is Gui Xisan, do you dare to drink it, this earring pendant only needs to appear in your room."
Gu Pity is not a stupid person, and vaguely understands something, "Madame, is this asking me to pretend to be as poisoned as Shi Ceylon?" This earring...... It has something to do with some people. ”
This earring is what Jiang Wanxiu asked Song Yuanxi to take, he sent the top assassin of the Soul God Sect, and Jiang Wanxiu deliberately released water, so it was easy to get it.
Jiang Wanxiu snorted, "Yes, I'm going to blame someone." This person has something to do with the real murderer. ”
"Okay, I got it." Gu Pity nodded seriously, picked up the white jade bottle and opened it, poured the powder inside into the teapot, and returned the empty bottle to Jiang Wanxiu.
Only the earrings remained.
"You've decided? Aren't you afraid that if I do this, I won't be able to catch the murderer, so I'll blame someone casually? Seeing that she was so decisive, Jiang Wanxiu raised her eyebrows and asked.
Gu smiled pityingly, "If Madam wants to blame someone casually, now that I am so suspicious, wouldn't it be the most convenient to blame me, why bother, Madame can get other people's earrings, and she must also be able to get my things as physical evidence." ”
"Miss Gu is a smart person, you and Shi Ceylon deserve to be the best rookies this year, and there is indeed something extraordinary." Jiang Wanxiu praised.
