Chapter 44: The So-Called True Murderer

After Aunt Liu left, the old princess asked Mama Li to do things for her.

There were a few grandmothers following the old princess, but only Mama Li was the most trusted by her. Therefore, only Mama Li served on the left and right of the old princess, while the other Mama only helped to take charge of the subordinates in the dean.

"Got it?"

Mama Li nodded: "Understood, old lady, I'll do it." ”

Mama Li left quietly and quietly left the old princess's courtyard.

In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly, and suddenly, a movement woke up a few people who were sleeping lightly.

Huo Weilou woke up the moment he heard the movement.

He and Shen Xinyue reviewed the case until late at night, and not long after the two of them closed their eyes, someone made a disturbance outside.

Huo Weilou's heart was still a little angry, and he was very angry.

Shen Xinyue felt Huo Weilou get up, rubbed her eyes and sat up, and soon, she also heard the movement outside.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xinyue hadn't rested much in the past few days, and finally fell asleep with her eyes closed, and was woken up again.

Her eyes were still a little open, but in order to make herself sober, Shen Xinyue patted her cheek hard.

Huo Weilou held her wrist: "Don't beat yourself like this." ”

"What's going on outside?" Shen Xinyue looked outside, but the doors and windows were closed, and she couldn't see anything.

"I'll take a look." Huo Weilou quickly put on his robe, his long hair hung straight down the back of his head, the incident happened suddenly, he did not take care of himself as handsome and tidy as before.

Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou's appearance, and suddenly thought of the long-haired beautiful man she had only seen in the comics before, and she thought that she could also see real people now.

Shen Xinyue was not to be left behind, and soon dressed neatly.

The two of them went out of the house one after the other, and Si Qi, who was in the side room, also woke up leisurely at this time, and saw that his two masters were out of the room, and he was shocked, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and went out directly.

Shen Xinyue saw Si Qi coming over in a hurry, and hurriedly waved her hand, signaling her to stop: "Si Qi, it's cold at night, you put on your clothes first and then come out!" ”

"I'm sorry Princess! Si Qi will be good right away! Si Qi ran back to the side room in a hurry, and after getting dressed as quickly as possible, he came to Shen Xinyue's side.

"Xuanying, let's talk about it." Huo Weilou stood at the gate of the courtyard, obviously there was nothing in front of him, but he opened his mouth to ask Xuanying.

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Ying came to Huo Weilou and knelt down on one knee: "Back to the prince, it was Mama Li next to the old lady who caught the maid next to Shen Fengjiao who was about to escape." ”

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Xuan Ying walked in front, Huo Weilou's face was calm, and he stepped to follow.

"Let's go too." Shen Xinyue asked Si Qi to follow behind Huo Weilou with her.

In fact, she still has a selfish heart.

With Huo Weilou in front, no matter what kind of scene it is, she will not be afraid, because she knows that Huo Weilou will protect her.

Several people came to Shen Fengjiao's room.

The man had been caught and tied to a stool.

"I've seen the prince! Princess! "The people saluted.

Ning Tongzhou and other people from Dali Temple have also arrived.

It's just that they are all sleepy-eyed and are pulled up in their sleep.

"Whose are the people? And who caught it? Huo Weilou asked directly.

Ning Tongzhou saluted and said, "It's Mama Li beside the old lady, when she got up at night, she found that Shen Fengjiao's accompanying maid was carrying a bag of money in the middle of the night and was about to escape. She stepped forward and grabbed the maid, but the movement was so loud that many people woke up. ”

"Oh?" Huo Weilou looked at the past indifferently.

He didn't look at that girl.

The maid in the palace, although he didn't know it, but he had been serving for a long time, and he probably remembered his face.

This maid has been in the palace before.

"Tell me, who are you?" Huo Weilou sat on a chair and faced the coat.

When was this little maid interrogated by Huo Weilou?

It was like telling her about it immediately. "Slave maid...... The slave maid is the maid next to Miss Shen, and she has been serving Miss Shen these days. ”

Huo Weilou was straightforward: "You are the maid of the palace, not hers." ”

"The slave maid has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has always been the maid of the palace, but when Miss Shen first came to the palace, the old lady arranged for me to serve Miss Shen."

Huo Weilou understood, this was the old princess's person.

Mama Li, as the person who "caught" this maid, was a little anxious when she saw that Huo Weilou and Ning Tongzhou had not convicted this maid for a long time.

She hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, if this maid wants to escape at this time, she must be empty-hearted!" Otherwise, why would you leave Baoyun Temple at night? ”

Now except for the old princess, everyone has arrived, and even Lan Qingruo is soft and weak under the support of the maid, looking like a sick and weak beauty.

It's just that Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue both know that this is all pretended by her.

Shen Fengjiao was also escorted by the people of Dali Temple at this time.

Seeing Aunt Liu, Shen Fengjiao's tears immediately fell.

"Mother!"

"Jiaojiao! You've suffered! Mother will definitely save you, you are not a murderer! Aunt Liu's already red and swollen eyes turned a little red at this time.

Aunt Liu wanted to rush forward to hug Shen Fengjiao, but was stopped by the people of Dali Temple.

Because this maid just wanted to escape and was caught, it didn't prove that she was the one who was under the incense. So Shen Fengjiao is still a suspect.

Xuan Ying thought of something, came to Huo Weilou's ear, and whispered: "Lord Wang, when Mama Li caught the maid, it was our people who helped catch it. ”

Huo Weilou's brows furrowed slightly.

Naturally, it is impossible for his secret guard to help Mama Li without his order, so the person who helped Mama Li must be the person he planted in Dali Temple.

More details can only be said by Dali Temple, Xuanying did not see the arrest.

Mama Li is still saying: "Lord Wang, she definitely has something to do with the incense!" ”

Ning Tongzhou patted his subordinates on the shoulder and motioned for him to come and talk about all this.

The man saluted, clasped his hands into fists.

"Report to the prince, Mama Li and I found that we hadn't used the incense in this girl's money bag, but it was broken into several sections. Preliminary identification shows that these incense sticks are the same kind of incense as the incense ash in Miss Shen's room. ”

Mama Li lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

What the old princess ordered, she can be regarded as having done it now.

"She wants to run away with incense and money, it must be because she hurt Mrs. Lan, seeing that the adults of Dali Temple are investigating the case, she is weak-hearted, and she is afraid that the incident at the east window will happen, so there will be tonight's incident." Mama Li is full of words.

Huo Weilou didn't speak, just quietly pondered every word and word of them.

"The evidence is here, do you have anything to say?" Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows lightly and asked casually.

The maid glanced at Mama Li, gritted her teeth, and her heart was crossed, for the sake of her family, she resolutely pointed all the fingers at Shen Xinyue!

"Yes, I ordered the incense!"

"It's just that the person I want to harm is not Mrs. Lan, but the princess!"

"Mrs. Lan treats us very well on weekdays, and she never blames us, even if it is a punishment, it is a small punishment and a big commandment."

"But the princess!" There was a look of resentment in the maid's eyes, if it weren't for her hands being tied, I'm afraid she would have pointed at Shen Xinyue's nose and scolded.

"The princess fined me a year's wages before! Also let me go from the dining room to the laundry room! ”

"A year's wages! How does this keep me alive? In the winter, I wash the adults in the house every day in the laundry room, and my hands are full of frostbite! But I can't even afford an ointment! ”

"I just hate the princess! For this reason, I was obsessed with it, and finally I found a chance to take revenge! ”

"I ordered the incense, and I also found those two stupid people, I originally wanted to defile the princess, and I wanted to see the princess be divorced, and from then on, my status was not as good as mine!"

"I didn't expect these two stupid people to even make a mistake in the room!"

"Hehehe, princess, treat your subordinates so harshly, you will have retribution!"

The maid went crazy and cursed angrily.

As soon as Huo Weilou wanted to make a move, he was pulled by Shen Xinyue.

"Dangerous building, this matter is not simple." Shen Xinyue shook her head slightly.

When Shen Xinyue scolded herself, she carefully recalled what had happened during the time she had married Huo Weilou.

It didn't take long for her to accept the affairs of the palace, and as for mistreating her subordinates, it was even more of a thing.

Shen Xinyue will punish his subordinates, but he will definitely not be fined a year's wages at one time.

Most of the subordinates of the royal palace rely on wages to support their families. It stands to reason that a month's salary is enough for a family of three to solve this month's food and clothing.

What's more, several masters in the palace would often reward them with some silver because they were happy.

Especially those who come to the palace to be maids, they support their parents at most and have no heirs.

Shen Xinyue still remembered that before the maid spoke, she also glanced in the direction of Mama Li.

This person must have been arranged by Mama Li and came out to take the blame!

Shen Xinyue wanted to deceive Mama Li.

"Mama Li, how could you be so coincidental that you got up at night and came to my sister-in-law's house?"

"Moreover, her incense is not something that can be bought casually."

"Besides, she said that I punished her, and she held a grudge against me, so when did I punish her?"

After three questions in a row, fine sweat broke out on Mama Li's forehead.

"This, naturally, there are people in the thatched house in the old lady's yard, so I just opened the closer side, and happened to see the lights in the house on, and there were people sneaking out, so I called someone to come and arrest her."

"Her father was also a member of the palace before, and he had gone out with the old prince a few times, probably the way he knew at that time."

"The old slave doesn't know who the princess punished, but she hates the princess so much, probably because she disobeys the princess's discipline."

Mama Li answered Shen Xinyue's three questions, although it was not leaky, but there were no major loopholes, and it was very thoughtful.

Shen Xinyue wanted to say something, but Lan Qingruo grabbed ahead of her and spoke: "Princess, since she has already confessed her guilt, don't be aggressive." We'll hand her over to Dali Temple, and we'll be able to go home tomorrow. ”

"Lan Qingruo, if I remember correctly, the victim is you, you are really generous when you help the person who hurt you." Shen Xinyue couldn't hold back and laughed.

Lan Qing can really pretend.

Huo Weilou's people came out of the maid's room at this time and found the remaining incense in the maid's room, as well as a few pieces of paper.

The paper was full of Shen Xinyue's name, and the word "death" was also written!

There was also a piece of paper on which the whole process of the maid's plan was written, and how she was going to escape after the plan was successful.

The stolen goods were obtained, and the maid did not intend to repent.

At this point, Huo Weilou made a decision: "Since everyone has been stolen, Ning Shaoqing, let's take people away." The sentence will be given to the person who should be sentenced in this case. ”

"Yes, my lord, the ministers will definitely enforce the law impartially!"

Ning Tongzhou is a fair person, and Huo Weilou has spoken, he will deal with this maid in accordance with the laws of the country.
