Chapter 664: South Candle

"If nothing happens, I will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow afternoon."

"No accidents?" Li Qingyi removed the hairpin ring and threw it in the mirror box, "How could the Lin family not do it and let us get back the evidence of her crimes." ”

Changning stroked the itchy wound on his arm, and said, "The old lady's people can't resist it, aren't there still people sent by adults?" You won't even be able to get your things back. ”

"Have you forgotten the last time you assassinated our people at the foot of the Great Pudu Temple?" Li Qingyi's expression was solemn, "Although the Lin clan wanted to get rid of us last time, she didn't necessarily use all her strength, this time she has reached the moment of life and death, in order to protect herself, maybe she will take out her hole cards." ”

Changning "hissed", and suddenly remembered the female national teacher of Chongnan, "That female national teacher is very evil, and she deceived the people of Chongnan into obedience, if the princess is in a group with them, will there be some magical means?" ”

Li Qingyi shook his head, "I don't know about this, the uncle said that he would personally bring someone to greet him tomorrow to ensure that the things were brought back smoothly, and the most important thing is to bring back the people sent by the old lady safely, otherwise, the matter will become our one-sided words." ”

Lu Wu prepared hot water and prepared to serve Li Qingyi to bathe, and Chang Yan came in and said, "Grandma, according to your orders, Nan Zhu and Zijiang have been guarded separately, but do you want to go to interrogate?" ”

Li Qingyi frowned and pondered when she heard this, "How did the two of them react?" ”

Chang Yan is obviously a qualified news guard, and he is meticulous in his observations, and said: "Nan Zhu looks worried, but his attitude is tough, and he looks like he will never reveal any news. Compared with her, Zijiang seemed much calmer, did not say a word from beginning to end, and did not show concern for the safety of the princess. ”

Changning said: "This Zi Jiang's reaction is more like a trained dead soldier, didn't Han Shu also remind Xue Ping before, saying that she is not an ordinary maidservant, it is difficult for the dead soldier to make him speak, although Nan Zhu is loyal, but he may not be able to withstand the torture to extract a confession." ”

Chang Yan asked, "What does grandma think?" ”

Li Qingyi took the bed clothes handed over by Lu Wu, walked into the screen, and said, "What Changning said is right, the dead man is loyal to the organization. And the maidservant girl is the one who is in the hands of the Lin family. ”

"Since it's a trick, it's about the gain or loss of interests."

"Yes, Nan Zhu is the son of the Lin Mansion, and he was selected by Lin He to serve his daughter Lin Jianyue when he was alive. If Lin Jianyue wants to kill Lin He quietly, someone must cooperate with her, and when Lin Jianyue left the Lin family and went to Kudu Nunnery, she only took Nan Zhu with her. Not long after they left, Nan Zhu's family got rid of their slavery and left the Lin family. ”

"What does grandma mean is that the princess bribed Nan Zhu on this condition, and Nan Zhu cooperated with her to kill Lin He? Doesn't that mean that Nan Zhu knows that the princess is not the real Lin Jianyue! ”

"That's right, if you pry her mouth open, you can reveal the fake identity of the Lin family, as well as Gongsun Yi's biological father. At that time, whether the princess had a tryst with one or several men, it was impossible for the princess to avoid the girl who served her closely. Since Nan Zhu knows so many things about the princess and has done shady things for her, Bacheng has no intention of leaving the princess in this life. If the princess is unharmed, she and her family will be unharmed, and now that the princess is facing exposure, she is naturally worried. ”

Chang Yan understood, "In the final analysis, Nan Candle's loyalty is for herself and her family, but the princess is so cunning, in order to prevent Nan Candle from leaking secrets, she must hide her family to death, we can't find Nan Candle's family, we can't make Nan Candle speak." ”

Li Qingyi only took a brief bath, and after a while, she got up from the bath bucket, and her voice came after the sound of water, "So, if you want to ask the ins and outs from Nan Candle's mouth, you have to take some tricks."

*****

Lin has a habit of supper, so every time in the middle of the day, there are people in the kitchen, but today it is silent.

In the firewood room next to the small kitchen, Nan Zhu squatted on the ground in embarrassment, his face washed with cold sweat and tears of fear.

She thought about it before and after, and finally came to a conclusion.

Someone knew exactly about the princess, so he set a trap to lead the old lady to investigate in person, and then openly helped the old lady get evidence to expose the princess!

And there will be no one else who will do this, it must be the uncle and grandmother!

She is the princess's personal big girl, and she will definitely be called for interrogation.

She had been mentally prepared for a long time, and she knew what to say, those words had been in her heart and head for an unknown number of times, and she couldn't even tell the truth from the false, but after so long, no one came to interrogate her at all. Not to mention the uncle's subordinates, even the people around the eldest grandmother and the old lady never showed up.

The rats in the corners burrowed through the stacks of wood, squeaking from time to time, which was irritating.

"Get out of here!" Nan Candle kicked on the stack of wood, and the rat was frightened and slipped back into the hole.

But the silent environment made people feel even more uneasy and irritable, she got up and walked to the door of the firewood room, stretched out her hand and patted it, "Is there anyone?" Is there anyone out there? ”

No one answered.

Nan Zhu frowned, there must be someone guarding outside, she continued to bang on the door, "Old lady, you let go of the slave maid, the slave will never hide it, I will tell you everything I know!" ”

It seemed that someone heard her shout, and there was a sound of footsteps not far away, and Nan Zhu suddenly came to his senses, flicked his messy hair, and said eagerly: "Who is outside?" Can you help me get a message to the old lady? ”

Compared with other people in the house, although the old lady was tough, she was also angry because she couldn't accept the fact that the princess was out of the wall, in fact, she was the most soft-hearted.

If the old lady is willing to listen to her, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.

Footsteps outside walked in, but the people did not speak, and seemed to hesitate.

Nan Zhu thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know which sister is outside, please help me pass a message to the old lady, just pass on a word."

! I've saved a lot of money for you! ”

The people outside were silent for a moment, and said helplessly, "Nan Candle, it's my ......"

"Wind Lotus?"

As soon as Nan Zhu heard that the people outside were Feng He, he immediately came to his senses.

The princess usually spends half a day in Jingyuntang with the old lady, they are all big girls around the master, and naturally they often talk and work together, and they are very familiar with each other.

The old lady doesn't like chattering maids, so the people around her are quiet, compared to Lan Qi's steady and serious, Fenghe is even more silent, and has always done things silently, and people are the most reliable. If she can promise to pass the word for herself, there is a chance that she will be able to see the old lady.

"Sister Fenghe, you help me to pass a message to the old lady, and say that I will tell her everything I know."

"Nan Candle, I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain......" Feng He's voice seemed hesitant, as if he didn't want to have too much conversation with Nan Candle, but only responded to her words because of his past feelings, "The old lady won't ask you to go over for questioning......"

"Why?"

Nan Zhu was puzzled, "The old lady will definitely call the subordinate who is waiting in Huiyueju to come over and ask, isn't it?" Fenghe, let's get acquainted, don't you even want to help with this? I've saved some silver, and if you give me a message, I'll give you all the money, enough for you to redeem the deed of sale!" ”

A sigh came from outside the door, "It's not that I don't want to help you, the old lady did call the subordinates of Huiyueju to go over for interrogation, but you are not very lucky, Zijiang has already said everything before you, and the old lady naturally doesn't need to ask others anymore." ”

"How is that possible!"

Nan Candle's first reaction was not to believe it!

Fenghe said: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I just feel that I have an acquaintance, and I heard you call the door, come and have a look." ”

With that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Nan Zhu hurriedly shouted: "Don't go! Wind Lotus You Wait! I believe it! I believe what you say, so do you know what Zijiang said? ”

Feng He was helpless, "How do I know this, but I heard the eldest grandmother say that Zijiang is indeed not an ordinary maidservant, but this unusual refers not to her ability, but to her identity." ”

Nan Zhu was stunned when she heard this, and then changed color, "Grandma really said that?" ”

"That's what I said, but I don't quite understand what that means." Feng He explained casually, and said: "Okay, I won't tell you, the things you know are definitely useless, let's think about whether there is any other way out to live a life!" It's not early, so I'll go back. ”

After that, Feng Lotus really left, and he didn't pay attention to anything Nan Candle said.

Nan Zhu leaned against the door of the firewood room and slid to the ground, muttering that it was impossible, but his head was full of what Feng He had just said, Zi Jiang's unusualness did not refer to her ability, but to her identity!

"Zi Jiang's identity? Isn't she the princess's handmaiden? But who is hiding next to the princess? ”

In that case, she must know more than she does......

Nan Zhu thought so, and cold sweat flowed down his scalp.

Did Zi Jiang really say it? So what should she do? Is she telling the truth or is she telling a lie? In case it is different from what Zijiang said, it will be extraneous again......

What to do, how can I fight for a chance to live? Will the old lady dispose of her and the princess without asking?

The more Nan Zhu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he slammed on the door of the firewood room, banged the door of the firewood room with his whole body, and shouted, "I have something to say to the old lady!" No! I want to see Grandma! Let me out! I want to see Grandma! ”

After a long time of incense, Nan Candle's voice was burning and hurting, and finally someone came here.

Mrs. Cheng raised her voice and scolded impatiently: "Shout and shout! What about the soul? In the middle of the night, what to shout! ”

Nan Zhu was a little annoyed, why was Mrs. Cheng here!

This person is also from the old lady's yard, and he is the most difficult to speak.

But now she can't pick and choose.

"Mother Cheng! Please help me to inform my grandmother, I have something very important to tell my grandmother! ”

Cheng's mother disagreed, "Now that I know that I am in a hurry, how did I help the princess to do wrong?" Let me tell you, the old lady is angry this time, and it's useless for anyone to say anything! ”

Nan Zhu listened to her tone, and her heart was cold, "Mother Cheng, we are all slaves, what the master commands, let's do it, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat, don't you understand?" Now I have the heart to remedy it, please Cheng's mother to fulfill it! ”

Mrs. Cheng didn't eat as Nan Zhu knew, she didn't eat soft and hard, and only sneered coldly when she heard the words, "Put away all your little tricks, you should know, the old lady knows it, and you don't need to remedy it!" ”

Nan Candle's heart was half cold when she heard this, and she finally believed Fenghe's words, she was afraid that Mrs. Cheng would leave with her feet, so she hurriedly said, "Mother Cheng! I know what Zi Jiang doesn't know! I will definitely be able to satisfy my grandmother, please, just help me with a word! ”

"You listen to my quibbles, ah no, explanations...... Although there is only one chapter these days, the chapters are relatively long, really, I didn't lie to you...... If you don't believe in counting, you ...... haha."
