Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Dog Bites a Dog's Hair
After a cup of tea, Li He and Wang Po were taken to the court.
Wang Po is an old woman who has never seen much of the world, and as soon as she stepped into the yamen, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and palms. In front of the hall, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "Wang Guifen, the people's woman, meet Lord Yang." ”
Ji Xia noticed that Wang Po seemed to be wearing an extremely ill-fitting dress with long sleeves, and when she knelt down, the sleeves just covered her hands. Ji Xia was very puzzled, could it be that this princess likes oversize?
And Li He followed behind Wang Po unhurriedly, only to see that she was wearing a pink tunic skirt today, which was extremely delicate, and the skirt and cuffs were embroidered with beautiful butterflies. She held her proud chest and breast, and walked steadily. Her waist squirmed with her footsteps.
As soon as Ji Xia saw her like this, she immediately frowned in disgust. Looking at her charming appearance, she didn't see the grief of losing her husband at all, and suddenly felt that Jin Wenhua's confession was very credible.
"Folk woman He Hua, meet Lord Yang." Her voice was not as delicate as last time, but crisp, as melodious as the sound of a bell.
"Wang Guifen, He Hua, do you know what the official called you to do?"
"My lord, the women don't know." He Hua replied slowly.
Wang Guifen raised her head and looked at Lord Yang, then at He Hua, and shook her head. In fact, as soon as she heard that the official said that he would take her and Li He to the yamen for questioning, she already knew what was going on. But Jin Wenhua threatened her to make her fake, and she didn't dare to speak. You must know that Jin Gongzi is a ruthless character, if you offend him, there will be no good fruit to eat.
"He Hua, this official will ask you, where were you on the evening of the fifth day of the first month of this month?"
"Returning to my lordship, the women teach the princess embroidery in the princess's house."
"Teaching embroidery in the middle of the night? It's so late, and Wang Po is so old, can she see clearly? ”
"My lord, light more candles, you can still see clearly."
"Did it start at the beginning of the year?"
He Hua Shen said: "No, it's after dinner, about three o'clock." ”
Ji Xia saw that He Hua's face at this time was not shocked, as if she was in her chest, this was obviously because she had already considered the questions that might be asked in the court, and made a confession with Wang Po in advance.
This time, the opponent is very cunning.
Ji Xia couldn't help but glance at Xue Dabao, only to see Xue Dabao's sad face, maybe it was because he hadn't rested well in order to go around for things with Ningde in the past few days, his eyes were sunken, the whole person looked listless, and his eyes were a little erratic.
Looking at his appearance, Ji Xia was really a little distressed: this big treasure was thinking about him again. What if you can't find evidence, can't catch the real murderer, and can't get rid of He Ning's suspicion!
At this time, I heard Lord Yang ask, "Oh? But Jin Wenhua testified that you poisoned your husband Li Dayong, can you plead guilty? ”
When He Hua heard this, his heart suddenly cooled in half. She didn't expect Jin Wenhua to betray her at all! I had just been happy with him, and this man even lifted his pants and didn't recognize anyone. It's not a thing!
When Wang Po heard this, it was Jin Gongzi who shook out He Hua's murder of her husband, so she didn't have to scruple about it, but she was worried that there was room for reversal in this matter......
I saw He Hua's lips trembling slightly, and she said slowly: "My lord, this is all slander." The princess can testify that the women did teach her embroidery in her home. Her voice seemed to mourn because she had been wronged. But she secretly said in her heart: As long as she doesn't admit it, Lord Yang will definitely have nothing to do with me.
"Oh? Does the princess need you to teach? "Women often use embroidery to show their ingenuity, if they don't know how to embroider, but they will be laughed at. Why is Wang Po so old that she can't embroider, so she wants to ask He Hua?
"My lord, in Taoyuan County, who doesn't know that I am not only beautiful, but also very good at embroidery?" He Hua raised her head slightly, blinked her eyes, and a crystal teardrop fell from her eyes, and the teardrop seemed to be a star in the sky.
Lord Yang cried when he saw this flower, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
Ji Xia on the side was unmoved, only felt that she was extremely pretentious. The ability to come to these tears is afraid that the current little flowers can't compare to it. However, He Hua's words sound very reasonable, the so-called art industry has a specialty, and it is not impossible for He Hua to teach Wang Po embroidery.
"Mrs. Wang, the official asks you, is what He Hua said true?"
As if she had made up her mind, Wang Po pursed her lips and shook her head. At the same time, her hand stepped forward, gradually peeking out of her sleeve.
This move happened to be clearly seen by Ji Xia, who was watching her from the side.
I see, no wonder her clothes are so wide.
Ji Xia didn't even feel that Wang Po was really a smart person, and on the basis of offending Jin Wenhua without knowing it, she sent the evidence to herself through this move.
A knowing smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but want to expose He Hua on the spot, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate for her to propose this matter.
She is just a small job, and after her job is completed, she should "quit". Lord Yang saw that she had a very good relationship with Gao Han, so he made an exception and allowed her to sit in the court. Besides, she sometimes "makes noise" in the public court, which is already out of line, although Lord Yang is not to blame, but she can't get an inch.
So, she quietly touched Gao Han beside her with her elbow and glanced at him. Gao Han looked in the direction shown in Ji Xia's eyes - heh, it turns out that the evidence is in front of him!
"Lord Yang, my subordinates want He Hua to demonstrate on the spot how to teach Wang Po embroidery." Gao Han strode out and said loudly.
Demonstration? What's so good to demonstrate, embroidery, isn't it just a few movements. Lord Yang was puzzled in his heart: This Gao Han and Ji Xia have been together for a long time, and there are more and more ghost ideas, and I don't know what I want to do this time! However, it didn't hurt to demonstrate on the spot in the court, perhaps, Gao Han wanted to see the suspicions from He Hua and Wang Po's body movements.
"He Hua, Wang Po, demonstrate on the spot, is there a problem?"
"What's so hard about that. At that time, the embroidery that taught Wang Po to embroider was in my home. He Hua immediately agreed, and said in her heart: There is just an embroidery at home that has not yet been completed, and it can just come in handy.
Wang Po was embarrassed and hesitant.
"Lady Wang, are you in trouble?" Gao Han asked. There was a hint of subtle banter in his eyes.
"Ah, no." Wang Po had already been driven to the shelves at this time, so she had to answer hard. I hope that this is the right thing to do, otherwise ...... Lord Yang, you must bring He Hua and Jin Wenhua to justice!
"Someone, bring the needle and embroidery."
In a short time, the yacha brought everything to the hall.
He Hua took it with a smile, "Lord Yang, that's how I taught Wang Po at that time, you can see it." As she spoke, she took the needle and thread in one hand and the embroidery in the other, and began to demonstrate.
Her body approached Wang Po slightly, and while demonstrating, she said to Wang Po gently: "Wang Po, you see, before embroidering horizontal and flat embroidery, you need to embroider a few stitches with a vertical needle pad, and then add horizontal flat needle embroidery, and press the embroidered vertical cushion needle under the flat embroidery, so as to form a convex effect." ”
"Were you teaching Wang Po to embroider this?" Gao Han asked, "Will it take a long time to teach this?" ”
"My lord, it doesn't take long to teach this stitch, this is the most basic stitch in embroidery. Embroidery is a craft, and there are dozens of stitches such as gold, flat gold, and panjin, and it takes a long time to teach embroidery. ”
"Did you teach all of this at the time?"
"That's natural, different positions, different stitches. A good embroidery needs to be matched with different stitches, and different stitches are staggered to make the embroidery natural. ”
"Why is it that you are embroidering alone, and the princess is not involved?" Gao Han questioned.
He Hua was unhappy in her heart and a little impatient: why is this head catcher so troublesome, she has been asking questions all the time, and now she wants Wang Po to embroider. I have lived in Taoyuan County for so many years, and I have never heard of Wang Po embroidery!
With a smile on his face, he said softly: "Wang Po is naturally involved!" He Hua sent the embroidery to Wang Po, and motioned to Wang Po to quickly take the embroidery and embroider it with her eyes.
Wang Po hesitated and didn't pick it up.
He Hua urged: "Lady Wang, you can show you the scene of our night to all of you!" ”
Although He Hua's face was smiling, Wang Po didn't feel a smile in her eyes. Wang Po knew very well that this was a kind and ruthless femme fatale, and when she heard her urging, she was suddenly frightened and began to tremble slightly, and hurriedly stretched out her hands to pick it up.
At this moment, the smile on He Hua's face froze, and she saw Wang Po's hand.
The right hand of the princess is deformed.
What kind of hand is this, half the size of a normal adult woman, and more importantly, her thumb and forefinger are so that they are together.
How can such a hand hold a needle and thread, let alone embroidery?
Lord Yang sat farther away, and did not really see what was happening in the hall, and saw that Wang Po's hand was hanging in the air, without the slightest intention of embroidering, so he asked: "Wang Po, why is it not rusty?" ”
Wang Po was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Lord Qiyu, Mrs. Wang, she can't embroider." Gao Han paused, raised Wang Po's right hand, and said, "My lord, please see, Wang Po's right hand is deformed!" Let's ask, how can such a hand embroider? ”
Lord Yang immediately understood. Immediately, he scolded loudly: "How bold He Hua, he dares to deceive his own official, and he still doesn't recruit from the truth!" ”
He Hua knew that the lie had been exposed, and the case was already a certainty, and in an instant, his face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground, and the whole person seemed to sink to the ground, and said incoherently: "Big ...... Adults, women...... The women were also instructed by Jin Wenhua! ”
"Slut, don't spew blood, my lord, I have nothing to do with this case!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, you know it yourself. Woo woo, if I hadn't listened to you and been bewitched by you, I wouldn't have murdered Dayong...... My lord, I know it's wrong, my lord's life! At this time, He Hua was no longer thinking about how to get out, but trying her best to drag this man who had made her miserable into the water.
"Please be aware of it!"
……
When Ji Xia saw this scene, he felt very funny, the two of them who were still affectionate before, at this moment of life and death, there was quite a dog-eat-dog posture!
Ji Xia looked at Xue Dabao on the side, and his face finally returned to his old smile, because his He Ning could finally settle his grievances.
