Chapter 178: Yongshu Discovers Clues
Yuehe's words reminded Yongshu that no one pursued this detail of the duck soup, if Yunrou was really drugged, then she would definitely leave a way out for herself, in case someone checked the duck soup, what should she do to clear the suspicion?
After Yongshu thought about it, he immediately asked someone to call Xiao Jinzi for questioning. The person was involved in the interrogation, and he should be very clear about the details.
"Xiao Jinzi, after Yun Gege entered the study, have you ever seen her go out?"
Xiao Jinzi said truthfully: "Yun Gege came out once, didn't go far and turned back, saying that the earrings were lost and looked for." ”
"And did she leave with a food box? When you come back, is the food box still there? This is what Yongshu is most concerned about.
Fortunately, Xiao Jinzi observed everyone very carefully, and he remembered the situation very clearly.
When she came out for the first time, she carried a food box in her hand, which was heavier, and Su Zhi, who was waiting outside, took it over. When she came back again, she was alone, and there was no food box in her hand, so she thought that Su Zhi had brought the food box back first. ”
When Yongshu heard this, he and Yuehe looked at each other, it seems that this food box has not been kept in the study, and it was taken away halfway! It is difficult to determine whether the soup has been replaced after it has been removed.
After a moment of silence, Yongshu asked again, "Then where did you find the food box?" ”
Xiao Jinzi replied: "The concubine's residence does not have a small stove room, so this soup is cooked in the back kitchen. Su Zhi put it in the Ning Fang Pavilion, and someone would come to collect it when it was time to eat. Later, the doctor wanted to check the food box, and the slave carried the food box to Ning Zhao Courtyard. ”
When the doctor checked the duck soup, Yongshu was also present, and she could see it clearly.
"Is there a possibility that the soup in the amphora is unmedicated, and the soup in the small bowl is medicated. The fifth master drank the soup in a small bowl. If the food box has been placed in the study, in case the fifth master investigates it, he can find out that there is a problem with the soup, so Yun Gege will hand over the food box to Su Zhi to take away, then Su Zhi will have the opportunity to pour out the soup in the small bowl, and then replace it with the soup in the double ear pot, and when the doctor checks it, there will be no problem with the soup. ”
The doctor said that the soup was fine, and Xiao Jinzi didn't question the duck soup anymore, and now Fu Jin said that he was shocked that something was wrong, "It's really possible, after all, the food box was carried away, and Su Zhi had every chance to change the soup." ”
But even if this speculation is true, Hongday's side can't explain it, Yongshu still can't figure it out, "Assuming that there is a problem with the soup, why do the two doctors say that the fifth master is not addicted to the heart medicine?" ”
This is also Xiao Jinzi's doubt, how much he hopes to find out the evidence to prove the innocence of the fifth master, but unfortunately there are no clues after interrogating several people,
"The minion doesn't understand either, but the minion believes in the words of the fifth master, he must have fallen for some kind of trick, otherwise he would never do that kind of thing."
Such a statement is not convincing to Yongshu, "He is your master, of course you favor him and speak for him." ”
Xiao Jinzi does love flattery, but what he says at the moment is true,
"The slave has served the fifth master for so long, and he knows his temperament very well. If it was really his own will, then he would just be acting in front of you, and there was no need to let the servants interrogate the people of Ning Fang Pavilion in private.
The slave could see that the fifth master was very angry this time, he must have been put on a table, this was not the fifth master's will, and asked Fujin to believe in the fifth master and stop doubting him. ”
"I see, you go back first! If there is a clue, you will let me know. ”
Xiao Jinzi took the order to retreat, knowing that the fifth master was depressed and uncomfortable, he quickly ran to the study, and gave the matter of Fujin's inquiry to the master.
"She thinks that my old love for Yunrou is unforgettable, so why bother to ask about duck soup?"
Xiao Jinzi guessed to himself: "At that time, Fu Jin was angry, so she would think nonsense, and when she calmed down, she should understand that there was something strange about this matter." ”
Yongshu's words, like a sharp blade, pierced the tip of his heart, stabbing him with blood, and his heart ached when he thought about it, "Does she really understand?" She only believed what she saw, and she didn't believe me at all! ”
"The main reason is that the doctor can't find out that you have been drugged, and from the position of Fujin, it is normal for people to be suspicious." Xiao Jinzi tried his best to persuade the good, but Hongtian drilled the tip of the horns,
"You can believe me in the same situation, why won't she believe me?"
"The slave has served you for many years, and Fu Jin has only been in the house for less than a year, and I don't know enough about your temperament, so I will have a misunderstanding."
Although Xiao Jinzi carefully defended Fu Jin, Hongday's heart was still sour, and his lips were filled with a wry smile, "Her impression of me is only affection, nothing else." ”
Xiao Jinzi was speechless, and quietly changed his head, "Master, don't worry, the slaves will definitely interrogate the people of Ning Fang Pavilion strictly, and they will definitely find out the truth and prove your innocence." ”
After finding out the truth, what is the point of Yongshu saying that he believes him? What Hongyang hopes is that when he is in a deep quagmire, she can still firmly believe in him, this is the real trust!
But judging from the current situation, Yongshu is unlikely to be on his side.
Hongtian has no hope, but as everyone knows, after Yongshu saw Xiao Jinzi, he pondered his words repeatedly, and invited someone from the kitchen to understand the situation, and finally she found a flaw!
Yongshu immediately made a decision and immediately ordered someone to find Su Zhi to interrogate.
As soon as Su Zhi arrived at Ning Zhao Courtyard, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Fujin, the slave maid really didn't take the medicine, the duck soup was served from the back kitchen and sent directly to the fifth master's study." ”
"But then you brought the food box back, and you have enough time to replace the duck soup." When he said this, Yongshu kept staring at Su Zhi, Su Zhi's eyes were flustered for a moment, and he continued to cry with his eyes down:
"The slave maid put the food box in the house and went to the courtyard to get clothes, and did not touch the duck soup again."
"Really?" Squinting slightly, Yongshu reclined on the seat and said slowly:
"The people in the back kitchen said that they used half a duck stewed soup, and the fifth master only drank a mouthful of soup at that time, and did not eat duck meat, but I found the home chef to check, and the duck meat in this large and small bowl was put together, and it was impossible to gather half a duck completely, and two duck bones were missing. You said you hadn't touched it, how do you explain those two pieces of meat? ”
When Su Zhi heard this, a heart mentioned her throat, she never expected that Fujin would actually send a number of duck meat!
Ordinary people can't tell if duck meat is missing, but the chef often cooks and knows the skeleton of duck very well, so he can accurately count whether the bones are complete or not.
Now that Fu Jin bluntly said that there were two pieces of meat missing from the bowl, what explanation should she have?
