Chapter 9: The Truth Revealed
Li Yu didn't answer, and then asked: "Last night, Shen Niangzi checked Teng Gong's condition and found that there was a small needle eye in his back. And the murder weapon was the hairpin that Qin Niangzi lost yesterday. ”
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.
"Lord Wang, there must be some misunderstanding, the slave family accidentally lost the hairpin......"
"This letter and hairpin both point to Qin Niangzi, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?"
Qin Xiayun looked at Li Yu in a panic.
Li Yu then said in a deep voice: "There is indeed such a coincidence in the world. That's because the real murderer is scheming and wants to frame this crime on Qin Niangzi. ”
Hearing this, the ladies were even more frightened, but they didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person in the pavilion.
"The real murderer is you." Everyone followed Li Yu's gaze, and they were all in disbelief.
"Mrs. Zhang, don't you still admit your guilt?"
Cui Chengyu stared at Zhang Rufeng coldly.
Zhang Rufeng was calm, still with shyness on his face, and said softly: "Lord Wang, the slave family doesn't understand. Please also ask the prince to make it clear. ”
"Does Mrs. Zhang still recognize this piece of letter?"
"Isn't this Qin Niangzi's letterhead? What does it have to do with the slave family, the prince should not deceive the slave family. ”
Zhang Niangzi's eyes are charming, and her eyes are shining with tears like the bright moon, which looks beautiful and distressing.
Li Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, and then said, "Qin Niangzi, may I ask what kind of incense do you use?" ”
"Back to the prince's words, the slave family has always liked the rose of the flame and thorns, so it is often used to have rose powder."
"Then please ask Qin Niangzi to smell the smell on the paper."
"This smell, in addition to the scent of roses, seems to be mixed with other fragrances. The slave family can't smell it. ”
"Then ask Zhou's mother to give it a try."
Mother Zhou sniffed the letter, her eyes flashed with astonishment, and then replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, in addition to the fragrance of roses, this letterhead is also mixed with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers." And the people in this pavilion, only the slave family, Xue Niang and Feng Niang will use a more elegant osmanthus fragrance. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rufeng's eyes moved slightly, and he still said calmly: "It's just a similar smell of osmanthus, and it is unknown whether it may have been contaminated elsewhere." Does the prince have any physical evidence? ”
"Physical evidence, physical evidence, hahaha, the physical evidence that Zhang Niangzi said, but this?"
Li Yu took out a sachet from his cuff.
Zhang Rufeng saw this thing and was a little incredulous.
Li Yu took out a hairpin from the sachet, which was the silver-plated and gold-plated jeweled butterfly hairpin that Qin Niangzi had lost. There were still some coagulated blood stains on the hairpin, and if you looked closely, even the butterfly tail of the hairpin head had a little blood.
"This is Qin Niangzi's hairpin, what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Rufeng's voice was already angry, and his face was a little hideous.
"You have an injury on the index finger of your left hand, you said yesterday that you were injured while playing the pipa, do you dare to let the ladies see if your wound was wounded by the strings or by the butterfly tail on this hairpin." Li Yu said sharply.
When Zhang Rufeng heard this, he was no longer powerless to refute, his face turned pale, he sat on the ground, his eyes were sad, and he shouted heartbreakingly: "Why, why was it last night...... You're here, and Shen Niangzi is also ...... I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled......"
"Why did you kill Teng Tingshi?"
Zhang Rufeng stared at Shen Yining deadly, his eyes were like ashes, and he said quietly: "My Aya was originally a Xiaolangzhong, and our family has a small house in the suburbs of Qinshan, although it is poor, it is also very happy. The thief fell in love with my mother, but my mother didn't obey, so he forced my mother. I, Aya, argued with him, but he was beaten to death. My aunt also committed suicide in shame. Overnight, I was orphaned. Later, Teng Thief gave my aunt a lot of money and covered up the matter. But my aunt thought I was a burden and couldn't make money, but she sold me to Zhou's mother in half a year. Then I met Teng Thief in the cabinet, and I will never forget his appearance until I die, and from then on I vowed to slay the enemy with my own hands. ”
Zhang Rufeng paused, seemed to remember something, and suddenly cried heartbreakingly.
"I originally wanted to frame Gu Huaixue, so I stole her hairpin. Mother Zhou has always felt that I am not hot enough to let me serve the thief. The day before yesterday, Zhou's mother said that the Teng thief would bring distinguished guests here to feast, and now Gu Huaixue is still sick, thinking that this may be the only chance for me to directly kill the Teng thief, so I can only hurriedly get rid of Qin Niangzi's hairpin in advance and frame her. But the butterfly mold on this hairpin is really a diaphragm, and when I make the force, I cut my fingers. Gu Niangzi, Qin Niangzi, I'm sorry, for revenge, I can only drag you into the water. ”
"Then why did you give this sachet to Cao Sima again?" Li Yu then asked.
Zhang Rufeng was stunned, and saw a figure flashing in front of him, and a playful smile suddenly flashed on his lips: "Aya, Niang, I have avenged you, I have avenged you......"
Suddenly, a fierce wind whistled from Li Yu's side, and in a flash of lightning, a sharp arrow went straight into Zhang Rufeng's chest, black and red blood gushed out rapidly, and the little lady's delicate eyebrows and eyes suddenly lost all their brilliance.
"Chase!"
Li Yu hurriedly protected Shen Niangzi behind him and pulled out his sword to defend it.
Kang Ming had already taken precautions, jumped out, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The ladies in the pavilion saw that Mrs. Zhang, who was still alive just now, had instantly become a dead soul under the arrow, and they were horrified and fled in all directions, and the cabinet was in chaos.
Shen Yining leaned forward to check on Zhang Rufeng, but he was powerless. The death and the poison in it turned out to be exactly the same as the man in black before, the same killer.
Unwilling, unwilling, really unwilling......
Shen Yining recalled the last few words of Zhang Niangzi before her death, empathized, and couldn't help but feel sad.
After a while, Kang Ming came back, his face was calm, and he knew that something big had been done.
"Shen Niangzi, please prepare a medicinal bath!"
Kang Ming's words pulled Shen Yining's mind back, and he nodded sluggishly.
Li Yu took in her gloomy expression.
It turned out that Li Yu ordered Kang Ming to chase the man who released the arrow, not to catch up with him, but to sprinkle him with poisonous powder, which was Shen Yining's unique formula of itching powder.
As long as a little bit of this powder is contaminated, the whole body will be as itchy as a mosquito bite. Unless the soup bath is made with an antidote, it will take at least four or five days for the symptoms to disappear.
Within two days, Kang Ming came with news.
Sure enough, as Li Yu expected, but if you want to involve the people behind the scenes, you can't be in a hurry, and you can catch big fish by putting a long line.
Teng Tingshi woke up, but he was half-paralyzed and his speech was dull. For the people behind the scenes, he also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and refused to say a word.
A few days later, Shen Yining received Gu Huaixue's post again, thinking about Liu Erlang's matter.
