The elephant slave knelt down in a panic, and his words were not clear: "Is it the slave who has neglected to observe...... I didn't know that there was a wound on the elephant's body! ”

Cui Jingyu said: "The elephant was injured in the hidden part of the neck, and it was pierced into the skin with a steel needle, so there was no eye-catching blood on the surface. ”

The medical officer stepped forward immediately, and the cotton towel he was holding in his hand was the steel needle taken out of the body of the god—

The hard, sharp steel needle was five inches long, and the needle was stained with blood, but it was jet black.

"Your Majesty, the surface of this needle is poisonous, because the body of the god elephant is huge, although this amount of poison cannot be fatal, but it is the root cause of the god elephant to go crazy." The doctor said.

There was an eerily quiet all around.

Under the silence, there was a look of surprise in everyone's eyes.

Mingluo's eyes changed slightly: "Your Majesty, according to this, someone secretly poisoned the gods and deliberately destroyed the prayer ceremony." ”

Looking at that steel needle, the Holy Book Emperor's eyes were extremely cold.

deliberately destroying the prayer ceremony, that is for her, the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the person behind this matter has ill intentions, and it must be found out as soon as possible!" Yao Yi said solemnly.

Hearing this, Pei Shi squeezed out a sneer from his lips almost uncontrollably.

Is it for the public or private reason to be so anxious to investigate this matter...... He knows it better than anyone else!

He just couldn't see that the little was almost in trouble, and he was anxious to vent his anger for the little scumbag......

His husband really loves his daughter very much!

"Do you still need to look it up?" Pei stepped forward, her steps and demeanor were full of the noble and arrogant air of the scholar woman, she raised her hand, saluted the Holy Emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the courtier's wife also used to raise elephants at home, so she is also familiar with the habits of elephants, so she dared to say a little more humble opinion——"

The Holy Emperor looked at her: "Mrs. Pei, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Pei Shi narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Since the divine elephant didn't have too many manic reactions before, it just suddenly appeared on the canon, and it may not have happened to recognize the person who hurt it, so it took revenge." ”

Yao Yi looked at her and frowned almost imperceptibly.

There was a lot of discussion around, and everyone's eyes, including the Holy Emperor, were once again focused on the girl.

"Mrs. Pei, does it mean that I am the one who hurt the elephant?" Chang Suining asked indifferently.

Just got rid of the bad luck, and there was another charge of "revenge by the gods" waiting for her - I have to say that this time the other party used the gods to hurt people, but it was indeed prepared, and she would not let her escape easily.

Hearing the girl's straightforward rhetorical question, Pei Shi didn't squint: "I didn't say that, but I just told my knowledge and guess to remind my family of the case." ”

This was just said to outsiders, and Yao Yi didn't believe half a word—and Pei obviously didn't care if he believed it or not.

In other words, she stood up at this time to torture him.

"Of course, handling a case cannot be based on speculation, but also with evidence." Pei Shi raised his chin slightly, and turned his head to look at Yao Yi: "It's just that this matter of finding evidence naturally has to be handed over to Governor Cui and my lord." ”

Looking at those eyes, Yao Yi inevitably had strange speculations in his heart.

But as Pei said, all speculation must be evidence-

He glanced at Pei Shi fixedly: "Please rest assured, Madame, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust, and I will definitely find out about this matter." ”

And to find out who secretly injured the elephant, it is inevitable to first check who has been in contact with the elephant since yesterday - according to the medical officer, judging from the wound, the needle has been in the body of the elephant for at least one night.

The elephant slave inevitably mentioned the incident of the people observing the elephant in the temple yesterday: "...... At that time, many young gentlemen and girls came......"

Seeing that he wanted to look at himself but didn't dare, with the mentality of not wanting to trouble others, Chang Suining took the initiative to say: "I was there yesterday too." ”

Only then did the elephant slave dare to nod: "Yes...... Slave remembers. ”

After all, this lady was born so beautiful and outstanding, it is difficult to ignore it just by looking at it.

"And I've been close to this bull elephant." Chang Sui Ning said again: "At that time, it screamed, but now that I think about it, it really looks like it was attacked suddenly, and the divine elephant should have been injured at that time - my suspicion is indeed very great." ”

The elephant slave nodded tremblingly again, and even looked at the frankly girl with some incredulity—when he said this, he felt that he was almost confessing his guilt!

Chang Sui Ning didn't think about it - to handle the case, it is natural to speed up the process first.

Facing those honest eyes, Yao Yi and Cui Jing were silent for a moment.

Chang Sui Ning continued: "Or because of this, the god remembered me, mistakenly thought that he was hurt by me at that time, and when he saw me today, he took revenge. ”

Elephants are smart, but they can't be expected to be too smart.

Cui Jing looked at her: "What Chang Niangzi means is that when you are close to the divine elephant, someone secretly does something to the divine elephant and deliberately misleads the divine elephant——"

"Yes, animals don't lie, but humans can deceive them by making false appearances." Chang Suining: "I think, if you are a person who has achieved kung fu, you don't have to get too close, you should be able to pierce the steel needle into the body of the divine elephant, right, Cui Dadudu?" ”

Facing her eyes that didn't mean much inquiry, Cui Jing still nodded along with her words: "Yes." ”

He is a military general, and if you want to convince everyone at this juncture, you need him to nod his head.

And the cooperation of the young man at this time, falling on the altar Ming Luo's eyes, only felt extremely dazzling, and the unspeakable uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded.

"Although it sounds like there is nothing wrong, in the final analysis, these are just Chang Niangzi's speculations, and the so-called empty words have no evidence, how can people believe it?" Pei asked in a faint tone.

"I can testify for Sister Chang!"

Yao Xia's voice suddenly sounded.

The girl seemed to have mustered up great courage, and walked forward with the belief of "but the sister of the Chang family really needs me so much", stood beside Chang Suining, and faced the saint: "Your Majesty, when I watched the phenomenon yesterday, the courtiers did not leave the side of the Chang family lady from beginning to end, it was the Chang family lady who went to observe the image, and she was also invited by the courtiers, and the courtiers can prove that Chang Niangzi is not a person who hurts the elephant!" ”

As she finished speaking, her nervous hands were shaking.

But for the sake of the Chang family's sister, she has to stand up no matter how scared she is!

She is sincere to Sister Chang!

Yao Xia looked at Chang Suining beside her with burning eyes, trying to give her encouragement and confidence.

Chang Sui Ning nodded at her slightly.

Although it is not needed at all...... But thank you anyway.

Yao Yi looked at his niece and said objectively: "Axia's words, although they can be used as evidence, cannot be conclusive testimony. ”

In the absence of conclusive evidence, it is necessary to look for it.

At this time, Cui Jing said: "Maybe you can go to the place where the elephants are fed in the temple to check one or two." ”

Yao Yi nodded, and was about to invite himself and Cui Jing to explore the clues, but a voice sounded one step ahead of him: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has a suspicious person!" ”

It was a very loud voice.

The crowd followed the sound.

Chang Suining also looked back.

It was not someone else, it was the Infinite Master who was wearing a robe and was supposed to preside over the sacrifice in the Heavenly Maiden Tower.

Also coming over was Chang Sui'an.

The young man was tall, dressed in a neat indigo narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, but his resolute face had a few abrasions and bruises, apparently having just fought people in close quarters.

He was joined by two warrior monks, escorting a strong man dressed as an ordinary rough servant.

Master Wuji's gaze first caught Chang Suining's location, he had obviously heard something on the way here, and when he walked quickly, his expression was extremely sympathetic: "Oh, this unlucky doll is pitiful...... It's really Amitabha, Buddha bless wow! Scared or not? I must be scared! I'll go back later and I'll recite a meditation mantra for you! ”

Originally, if you can't do it well, you may have to read the excess!

Chang Suining: "......"

As a monk, the image should not be too approachable.

Wu Ji sighed heavily, and said to the Emperor of the Holy Book: "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for this poor doll!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the rough servant who was being escorted by the warrior monk: "Look, the evidence is here!" ”

The Holy Book Emperor was already accustomed to his appearance, and at this time he only said: "Let's first explain the matter in detail." ”

Wu Jue immediately said: "Your Majesty, this person's whereabouts are sneaky, intending to sneak into the Zen courtyard where the little lady of the Chang family lives, fortunately he was discovered in time by Chang Jialangjun who happened to pass by, and he wanted to expel him, but he accidentally found that this person actually had kung fu in his body, and several people were able to take it down with the joint efforts of several people!" ”

The rough servant turned his head with a stiff face - phew, what a hell of a "chance passing" and "accidental discovery"!

Where is the ordinary Zen temple, it is clearly the ghost gate of the heaven and earth!

It was not only the Chang family Langjun who was staring at him in the dark, but even the sweeping monks who looked so ordinary were all very skilled, and when he lost the broom, Amitabha Buddha began to punch him!

Not to mention how much it hurts!

"This person's whereabouts are strange, and I found this thing on his body, it's very suspicious!" Chang Suian presented a porcelain vase.

The Holy Book Emperor frowned slightly, and motioned for the medical officer to come forward and check.

After the medical officer looked at it, his expression was slightly shocked: "Your Majesty, the poison in this porcelain bottle and the poison that hurt the gods...... Exactly the same kind! ”

Yao Xia covered his mouth and exclaimed: "I understand, I understand completely!" This person was carrying poison and wanted to sneak into the Zen monastery where Sister Chang was located when there was no one in the ceremony, which was clearly a move to frame up! The one who attacked the gods must be him! ”

After saying that, she was shocked first - she didn't know where she got her quick wisdom!

Seeing that the eldest uncle and the others looked at her in disbelief, they must have been completely awakened by her words like an initiation!

Yao Yi: "......"

Don't say it, his Dali Siqing is really going to be kept in the dark for the rest of his life.

Yao Xia was inexplicably inspired by himself, and then asked the rough servant: "First misled the gods to take revenge on the sister of the Chang family, and then framed him, saying, who are you instructed by!" ”

There is a reason why Yao Yi did not stop his niece from speaking.

This kind of firm suspicion would seem too early to come out of his mouth, but it is just right to come out of a child's mouth, and it is very conducive to exaggerating the atmosphere.

Sure enough, as the development of events became more and more unexpected, the chatter gradually became noisy.

Pei silently clenched the ten fingers under his sleeves and looked at the rough servant fixedly.

"Indeed, the image was wounded by me." The rough servant opened his mouth and straightened the corners of his mouth for a moment, but he looked at Chang Kuo's father and daughter: "It was General Chang who instructed me." It's just that when he saw that the matter was exposed, he wanted to push me out and block all the charges. ”

"Joke!" Chang Kuo laughed instead of being angry: "Why should I instruct you to hurt the gods? What is my purpose in using my daughter's life as bait! With such ridiculous words, do you really think that you can get away with the confusion? ”

"I'm just doing what I'm told." The rough servant's expression was strangely calm: "It's just to tell the truth what I know, as for why General Chang went to great lengths to ruin this blessing ceremony, I don't know." ”

"I don't know what I said, but I have already set the charge of deliberately destroying the blessing ceremony for my father, which involves party strife, and if you touch it, you will never recover-" Chang Suining looked at him with some appreciation: "You are not an ordinary person who only works hard, but unfortunately you follow the wrong master." ”

"Why do you father and daughter want to be thieves and catch thieves again, and make a show here." The rough servant sneered and insisted: "Everything I say is true!" ”

After finishing speaking, he just straightened the corners of his mouth, and when his jaw moved slightly, he was hit by a sudden long sword and missed his cheek.

"Poof—"

The sword was unsheathed, but it was so powerful that the thick servant turned his head and spat out a bloody tooth that had been knocked out, and a poison that had just been bitten in his mouth.

Cui Jing put away his sword: "Before you confess truthfully, you can't die." ”

The rough servant gritted his teeth and spat out another mouthful of blood: "What I said is the truth, I just don't want to be tortured again before I die!" ”

"Take it down, and interrogate it severely." Cui Jing explained to Yuan Xiang: "Also call up the list of servants carried by each government this time, verify them one by one, and be sure to find out the identity of this person." ”

"Yes!"

At the suggestion of the Holy Emperor, Yu Zeng also confessed to a subordinate of Si Gongtai to accompany Yuanxiang Charlie in this matter.

"Wait, I remembered...... I've seen this before! Suddenly, a young man's voice rang out.

Yao Yi looked and saw that it was his nephew Yao Gui who stood up.

Why is it that the net who stands up today is from his Yao family?

Cui Jing looked at the young man: "Your Excellency recognizes this person?" ”

"I don't know it, but I've seen it!" Yao Guidao: "When I watched the phenomenon yesterday, this person was indeed there! ”

At that time, he vaguely saw someone, but he glanced at it in a hurry, but he couldn't see it clearly—he didn't remember it until he had been staring at this person for a long time!

I also remembered it: "I saw Aunt Ye next to my eldest aunt at the back door of my house before, and I talked to this person!" ”

As the young man spoke, he looked at Pei Shi and the servant woman beside him.

Yao Yi frowned suddenly.

Pei's face changed, and he said coldly: "Do you know what you're talking nonsense?" ”

What a fool who blocked her!

She and the Yao family, I'm afraid it's not fate!

"Nephew...... The nephew did see it. Facing the eyes that had always been intimidating, Yao Gui boldly said, "My nephew just wants to ask Aunt Ye if she knows the origin of this person......

But why did the aunt react so much?

"The servant did not recognize or have seen this man." Pei's wife-in-law looked at him and said categorically: "Lang Jun is afraid that he is dazzled." ”

"It shouldn't be......" Yao Gui's voice lowered, and his heart was full of strange uncertainty.

What he wasn't sure of was not what he said, but ...... Did he touch something he shouldn't have touched?

And in the next moment, his seemingly unrealistic conjecture was confirmed.

"Governor Cui doesn't have to bother to investigate, I know this person-"

This time, it was the girl's slightly trembling voice.

Ah, today's four thousand words are also completed~

I'm hesitating about one thing, and that's that I haven't washed my hair in a long time...... I heard that I can't wash my hair and take a bath after the sun, so I haven't dared to try it, and now the whole head is no longer oil, but a damp state............ Ask, have you washed it?
