Chapter 14: Questioning (2)
Yun Wanyan looked at the storytellers kneeling on the ground again, and when he spoke again, his tone was completely cold.
"Tell me, who told you about this? Or rather, by whom are you directed? ”
“…… This...... This ......"
"Qingqiao."
"Yes."
"Take them to the second brother and wake up."
As soon as Yun Wanyan finished speaking, the eyes of several people kneeling on the ground widened directly, and their words were full of horror.
"Hey! No, no, county lord, we say! ”
"Say."
"Yes...... It's her. One of the storytellers stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the crown princess.
Everyone's eyes fell on the crown princess.
Zheng Yuechan slapped the table and said angrily: "Open your eyes and take a good look, you dare to slander this palace!" ”
Zheng Yuechan has been the crown princess for three or four years, and her momentum has increased a lot as before.
The storytellers who were so frightened by her voice that they all lay on the ground.
Yun Wanyan didn't immediately attack, but said: "Don't be angry, the princess, these people have not been named." ”
"Who, you say, is it commanded? If you dare to talk nonsense, watch your heads! ”
"County Lord, we didn't mean...... said that the crown princess was the woman next to the crown princess. ”
"Huh?" Yun Wanyan turned her gaze to the maid beside Zheng Yuechan, this person was none other than the maid who had always served by Zheng Yuechan's side, Aunt Rong.
Rong Gu stood up in a panic, took two steps forward, and knelt straight in front of Yun Wanyan's table.
"County Lord, these people are all charlatans, can you believe their bite in a hurry!"
"You talk nonsense! When you gave me money that day, a handkerchief fell off your body, but fortunately I kept an eye on it! ”
Before Aunt Rong could finish speaking, one of the storytellers interrupted her angrily, and he took out a light yellow handkerchief from his arms in a panic and held it high above his head.
"County Lord! Just the block, the villain has always been on his body. ”
"The villain has read the book, and he still recognizes a few words, and there is a Rong character embroidered on it, and he also asks the county lord to look at it!"
Seeing the handkerchief, Aunt Rong's eyes were about to fall out, and she wanted to step forward and snatch the handkerchief, but Yun Wanyan just looked at her.
If Aunt Rong really did this, then the crime would be decided.
Aunt Rong looked at the crown princess like a plea for help.
Zheng Yuechan coughed lightly, turned to look at Yun Wanyan, and said, "Wanyan, this handkerchief may have been accidentally lost by my maidservant, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by this group of people, and I dare to slander here today." ”
She said this casually, but she was clearly excusing Aunt Rong.
Yun Wanyan sneered in her heart.
Although Zheng Yuechan is not a good person, she is quite good to this servant girl she trusts the most.
It just so happened that today she let Zheng Yuechan also taste the suffering of the people around her.
Yun Wanyan didn't pay attention to the crown princess, but gave Qing Qiao a look.
Qingqiao understood, and stepped forward to present the handkerchief.
"Miss, please see."
Yun Wanyan took the handkerchief, just glanced at it and threw it in front of Aunt Rong.
"This county lord remembers that your name is Aunt Rong, right?"
"Yes, yes." Rong Gu's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but shrink a little.
"This veil is yours?"
"Yes, it's a slave."
"That ......" Yun Wanyan raised her chin and glanced at the person who had just presented the veil.
The man hurriedly took two steps forward and signed his surname
"County Lord, villain Guo Jiu!"
"Well, since you claim to have seen Aunt Rong, then you should tell the county lord carefully, what was the situation that day, and where did you see her?"
"Back to the county lord, when the villain saw this Aunt Rong that day, she was wearing a hat on her head, although the villain couldn't see her face clearly, but the villain heard that she wanted to ...... If you want the villain to talk about you, the villain will keep an eye on it. ”
"The person the villain saw that day looked like he came from a big family, and there was a mole on the back of her right hand, this mole had a strange shape, it was this one on his hand, and the villain would never be mistaken."
"The villain was telling a story in Furong House that day, so it was there when I met this girl."
The storyteller was very organized, but every time he said a word, Aunt Rong's face turned pale, and she subconsciously hid her hand under her sleeve, but forgot that the eyes of everyone present were on her.
Yun Wanyan looked at Aunt Rong again.
"Aunt Rong, is there anything else you want to say? Or do you want to say that you have never been to Furong Tower, you have never known this storyteller, and you don't have a mole of special shape on the back of your hand? ”
"Princess......" Aunt Rong cried out in despair, but when she raised her eyes, she found that the crown princess who had been waiting for her for nearly ten years had closed her eyes.
Aunt Rong knew that she was being treated as an outcast.
She closed her eyes in despair, and a tear slipped down the corner of her eye.
"Aunt Rong, the lord of this county knows that he has no grievances with you, why do you want to do this?"
"Heh, no injustice and no hatred? It's not without injustice and hatred! I hate you! How can you live a carefree life! Why should my young lady look at your face when she is in the palace! Why ......?"
"Aunt Rong, shut up!" Zheng Yuechan interrupted Aunt Rong's next words just right.
Yun Wanyan watched Zheng Yuechan stand up as if she was out of strength, and walked in front of her step by step.
"Wanyan, don't listen to her, this palace is like a sister to you, how can you account for this?"
"But in the final analysis, this matter is also the teaching of this palace, and this palace will give you an explanation."
Looking at Zheng Yuechan, who had become pitiful in front of her, Yun Wanyan only thought of the huge white-petaled and yellow-hearted white lotus in the pond.
But she can pretend to be innocent, why can't she? White Lotus is not anyone's only one.
Yun Wanyan got up and said tolerantly: "Maybe Wanyan really did something wrong in the past, so she was hated by Aunt Rong, since Aunt Rong is the maid of the princess, it is not easy for Wanyan to punish directly." ”
Speaking of this, Yun Wanyan's voice changed, and he deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Crown Princess...... It's nothing that I've been wronged alone, but the Huai Palace's mansion has been talked about a lot because of this, if this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty......"
The next words are self-evident, Zheng Yuechan also understands that if this matter really reaches the ears of the emperor, then whether it is Yu Qing or Yu Li, the prince will definitely be scolded.
His Majesty is not close to the crown prince in the first place, so isn't it even worse......
Thinking of this, the crown princess squeezed her handkerchief fiercely.
Yun Wanyan saw her reaction in her eyes and sat back in her place.
Zheng Yuechan took a deep breath, she closed her eyes, waved her hand, and said, "Aunt Rong slandered the reputation of the county lord of Yun'an, the crime is unforgivable, drag it out - cane death." ”
