On the other side, the interrogation of the people in Tingli Temple is in full swing.

The old lady who interrogated Pear Blossom went out to find Grandma Qin to confirm whether she had sent a palace maid to find Pear Blossom, and asked Lu Jieyu again.

After a circle, the old mama suddenly had a strange situation, and asked people to check the palace maid, and learned that some new information had been reviewed.

So he came back and continued the interrogation.

This time, the old lady changed her strategy and decided to get straight to the point, and asked sharply: "Wu Meiren, you instructed Xiaochan to poison Wu Meiren, is there such a thing?" ”

Pear Blossom suddenly knew it, and looked surprised: "Wu Meiren was poisoned by Xiaochan?" ”

"Yes, it's her." The old lady responded, found that she had been led astray, and hurriedly corrected: "You don't have to talk about him left and right, now I'm talking about you, it's Xiaochan who you instructed!" ”

Pear Blossom panicked and waved her hand again and again: "Mama, you can't talk nonsense, when did I instruct her?" ”

The old lady was a little satisfied with Pear Blossom's reaction, and finally saw the normal reaction of being interrogated.

She continued to pressurize: "You concealed that you had seen Xiaochan this afternoon, didn't you just cover up the truth?" It's a pity that someone has seen the two of you meet! ”

The old lady deduced that Xiaochan was abused by Wu Fang'er, held a grudge, and was instructed by Pear Blossom to poison the fruit wine this afternoon and poisoned Wu Fang'er.

After that, Xiaochan went to find Pear Blossom, and when she returned to the Jinghong Palace, she knew that she would not escape death, so she committed suicide in fear of sin.

Before she died, she saw the corpse of her master who had been with her for many years, and wrote a suicide note with remorse, writing all the truth in the suicide note.

The old lady took the case and got up: "Wu Meiren, there is a suicide note, and someone has seen you meet her, and she still doesn't admit the crime!" ”

Rika shook her head and denied: "Mama, it doesn't mean anything that I saw her this afternoon, I can't say that I instructed her." The key is where does the poison in Wu Meiren come from, has Mama figured it out? ”

The old woman's momentum weakened: "This ......"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Rika was surprised and looked disapproving: "Then how can I be condemned?" Mama has to work hard, poison is forbidden in the palace rules, who got the poison in, through whose hands, how to get to Xiaochan in the end, find out who the real murderer is. As for the suicide note, maybe it was written by someone else......"

The old lady knew that what Pear Blossom said was the key, but she was dissatisfied with being pointed out by Pear Blossom.

She was very embarrassed and interrupted directly: "Enough, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, why didn't you say what you had seen with her in the first place?" ”

Lihua disagreed: "Mama didn't ask, I have seen a lot of people today, and I didn't know that it was Xiaochan who poisoned Wu Meiren, why did I only say that I had seen her for no reason?" ”

The old lady choked, and thought that this was indeed the case, seeing a slave and maid was indeed insignificant, and it was not right to mention it deliberately.

She couldn't hold it on her face, and forcibly said: "If you don't say it in the past, if something happens in the Jinghong Hall today, you should tell the matter as soon as possible." ”

"Mama is right, I'll pay attention next time." Rika nodded in agreement, with a good attitude, and took the initiative to say, "By the way, won't Mama ask me the details of meeting her?" ”

Old Lady: "......"

Next...... Is this still thinking that something will happen in the palace?

She felt that her interrogation this time was very passive, the usual interrogation tricks did not work, and the people in front of her said that they were tight, and there were no loopholes.

Regarding the question that Pear Blossom took the initiative to ask, the old lady couldn't be unstable, so she had to let Pear Blossom say.

Hearing the halfway through, the old lady frowned: "She cried and begged you to go to the Jinghong Palace?" ”

Rika nodded: "Well, I also said that if I don't go, Wu Meiren will kill her." I said how could it be, the palace is not allowed to kill slaves at will, Wu Meiren is a person who has learned the rules, and she will never do so, but Xiaochan didn't believe it, and kept saying that if I don't go, Wu Meiren will kill her. ”

The old lady asked rhetorically, "Then why don't you go?" ”

Pear Blossom looked strange: "I just said, I'm empty-handed, how can I be a guest?" What's more, I also think it's strange, the palace maid who invited me to the Jinghong Palace ran away, and then a Xiaochan who was looking for death and begged me to go. ”

Speaking of this, Lihua remembered something: "By the way, Mama Qin invited me to the Jinghong Palace, did Mama confess for me?" ”

The old lady shook her head: "She has never invited you to the Jinghong Palace, the palace maid you said, we have sent someone to find it." ”

"Ah, that's it," Rika pondered, and then said, "If there's any news, please let me know." ”

The old lady agreed, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she was led away again.

She slapped the table and said sternly: "Wu Meiren, don't quibble, there is a suicide note, no matter what, you can't clear up the fact that you instructed Xiaochan to poison Wu Meiren!" ”

Pear Blossom wanted to speak and stopped: "Mama, can you let me say a word." ”

"Say!" The old lady sneered again and again, she has seen a lot of people with hard mouths of dead ducks.

Lihua looked helpless: "But Xiaochan can't understand literature and ink, how to write a suicide note?" ”

The old lady's expression was momentarily sluggish, and then she suddenly got up: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Pear Blossom spread her hands: "I just wanted to say it, but Mama interrupted me and didn't let me say it." ”

The old lady is angry, this is the key point of this case, if Xiaochan can't understand the text and ink, the suicide note will be very problematic.

She didn't have time to pay attention to Pear Blossom, hurriedly went out, walked to the door and suddenly remembered something, turned around and suddenly asked: "She is not your minion, where did you know that she doesn't understand literature and ink?" ”

Lihua explained unhurriedly: "My girl Zhichun, I used to learn the rules with Xiaochan in the Master of Ceremonies, and I once told me in the casual conversation that Xiaochan didn't understand literature and ink. ”

How can people who can't even understand the rules of the palace be able to understand the text and ink, Lihua asked Xiaochan about the ceremony before coming to Zhichun, and confirmed this.

The old lady couldn't care anymore and left in a hurry.

The main hall of the Amazing Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, under the main lamp, squinting her presbyopia and opening the various confessions that were tried in front of her.

She muttered, "Except for the dead palace maid, the other servants of the Jinghong Palace have never seen Wu Meiren since they first arrived at Shen Shimo, and they died at this time. ”

Mama Qin bowed her head: "That's right, the other servants of the Jinghong Hall said that Xiaochan, that is, Wu Meiren's personal palace maid, was brought fruit wine into the hall by herself at about two o'clock, and only Wu Meiren and Xiaochan were in the hall at that time, and no one knew what happened." ”

She continued: "Not long after, Xiaochan came out alone, and for the first time said to the other minions in the name of Wu Meiren, that people were not allowed to enter the temple and go farther. ”

Mama Qin pointed to a few confessions, corresponding one by one, and the confessions of all the minions in the Jinghong Hall were consistent.

The Queen Mother said "um": "So, this palace maid named Xiaochan was poisoned at that time, because she was afraid that people would break it, she deliberately falsely spread Wu Meiren's intentions and did not allow anyone to enter." But did anyone see her and return to the temple? ”

Mama Qin shook her head: "No, after listening to the order that they were not allowed to enter, the minions of the Jinghong Hall all pushed the boat down the river and secretly hid, without any consciousness of waiting for the dispatch." So much so that Wu Meiren should have broken the pot when she was poisoned, and no one heard such a big movement. ”
