"Little, villainous people really don't know!"

Ah Yao snorted coldly: "A large amount of fire oil was found in Xiao Lao's courtyard, and we suspect that someone deliberately sprinkled fire oil in Xiao Lao's courtyard, causing a fire on Xiao Lao's side.

You are responsible for keeping the oil, so you are the one who sprinkled the oil? ”

Huang San hurriedly waved his hand to deny, "It's not a villain, villains don't dare to do such a thing!" ”

Ah Yao didn't bother to pay attention to the people who refused to tell the truth, so she looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the oil is kept by this person, and this person is the most suspicious, since he refuses to say, then send him to the Criminal Department and hand him over to the adults there for interrogation!"

The Criminal Department is for the trial of felons, and once they enter, they have to take off a layer of skin if they don't die.

The people call the Ministry of Punishment the Hall of Hades.

When Huang Sanyi heard that he was going to hand himself over to the criminal department, his legs were frightened, "The emperor spares his life!" It's really not a villain, the villain didn't set fire. ”

"The evidence is conclusive, who else can you have?" Yao asked.

"Yes......"

Huang San looked at Xiao Mu tremblingly.

Xiao Mu glared back, "What are you looking at me for?" ”

"It was the guard next to Childe who asked the sky, and it was he who suddenly came to me and borrowed the oil from me." Huang Sandao.

"Ask the sky!"

Ah Yao slowly walked up to Xiao Mu, "Where is Wentian?" ”

"He's my bodyguard, not my shadow, how do I know where I've gone."

"As the master's guard, you should accompany the master every step of the way, you don't know where he went, it's the most suspicious."

"You ......"

The emperor hurriedly spoke: "Someone! Find this man who is called Ask the Heavens. ”

"Yes."

With the concerted efforts of everyone, Wentian was finally found after a stick of incense.

The moment he saw Wentian, Xiao Mu's face immediately changed, and his arrogance was not as arrogant as he was just now.

Ah Yao noticed Xiao Mu's change and looked at Wentian again.

It seems that this question has been found in the right place.

"You just ask the sky, it was you who asked Huang San to borrow the oil from you." Yao asked.

"Yes."

"What are you borrowing oil for?"

Wen Tian replied expressionlessly: "Childe wants to eat roast chicken, I borrow fire oil to make roast chicken." ”

"If you take so much oil to roast roast chicken, I'm afraid you'll have to roast dozens of chickens."

"No, just one."

Ah Yao sneered, "Okay, then when you made roast chicken, where did you kill the chicken, where are the chicken feathers?" Where did the chickens go into the water and the chickens' blood go? Where do the chicken bones go after eating? ”

Asked Tiantian for a while.

He's a thug, let alone making roast chicken, he hasn't even killed chickens.

The man didn't even know how to make roast chicken, he wouldn't even go to the kitchen, and Ah Yao could see at a glance that he was lying.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ah Yao continued to ask, "You made the roast chicken yourself?" ”

"Yes."

"You probably don't know that killing chickens and cleaning chickens will leave a smell on your hands, take out your hands, and I'll smell them."

Wen Tianxin hid his hands behind his back, "There is a difference between men and women, it's not appropriate." ”

"Less nonsense!"

A-Yao grabbed his wrist and sniffed his fingers closer.

"It's not a taste at all, you're clearly lying."

"Making roast chicken was yesterday, and after a night, it naturally lost its taste." Ask the sky to say.

"You can wash the smell of the palms and backs of your hands, but you can't wash the smell of the fingernails."

Wentian stopped talking again.

Ah Yao knew that her words had successfully frightened him.

In fact, she just concluded that Wentian was lying, he didn't know how to cook roast chicken at all, and he didn't know how to cook any dishes, so she dared to question him like this.

"What exactly are you lying for?" Yao asked.

"I ......"

Ah Yao then said: "If you don't say it, then I'll say it!" You obeyed Xiao Mu's orders, borrowed fire oil from Huang San and sprinkled it in Xiao Lao's courtyard, and deliberately let the fire spread to this side, right? ”

Concubine Xiao hurriedly retorted: "What nonsense! You mean my brother set fire to my father? How is this possible? ”

"Then you have to ask Xiao Mu himself."

"She said nonsense, my father is so kind to me, how can I do such a thing that is inferior to a beast? Not me! ”

"Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, so much evidence is in front of you, and you still refuse to admit it, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."

"It's not me! It's all just your imagination, and I didn't do anything. Xiao Mu just didn't admit it.

Ah Yao said unhurriedly: "When I left Xiao Lao's room just now, Xiao Lao said something in my ear. ”

"What did my father say to you?" Concubine Xiao asked.

Although Xiao Mu didn't ask, his eyes also fell on her.

The emperor and the rest of the people also looked at her.

"Xiao Lao said to me, 'The fire was put by Xiao Mu'."

"You talk nonsense! My dad is like that, there's no way he's going to say that. Xiao Mu hurriedly yelled.

"Then I'll let him tell you personally."

After speaking, Ah Yao walked straight towards Xiao Lao's current courtyard.

When Yao entered the room, she locked the door.

Xiao Mu, Concubine Xiao and others stood outside the door, constantly banging on the door and shouting.

"A-Yao, when you come out, what else are you going to do to my father?"

"You haven't hurt my father enough, do you want to continue to hurt my father?"

"You come out!"

Concubine Xiao's sister and brother took turns knocking on the door and shouting, but A-Yao in the house never reacted.

"Calm down for the time being, let's see what A-Yao is going to do!" The emperor spoke out to stop it.

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor raised his hand to interrupt Concubine Xiao's words, "Wait! ”

The emperor said so, and Concubine Xiao's sisters and brothers have nothing to say.

The two of them stood outside the door with their own thoughts, anxiously waiting.

Ah Yao came to Xiao Lao's bed, "Xiao Lao, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." ”

She quickly took out a few silver needles and pierced several acupuncture points on Xiao Lao's shoulder, neck and head.

Although Xiao Lao can't be cured immediately, it is not difficult to let Xiao Lao speak.

After a puff of incense, she slowly withdrew the silver needle.

"Elder Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Lao moved his mouth, "You, who are you?" ”

Seeing that he could speak, A-Yao had a relieved smile on her face.

"My name is Ah Yao, and I am Soho's daughter."

"You...... What did you say? ”

"I'm Soho's daughter." She repeated patiently.

"You're Soho's daughter!"

There was no time to talk about Soho, she hurriedly told Xiao Lao about the current situation, and also showed that she wanted Xiao Lao to come forward to testify against Xiao Mu's intention to set fire.

Xiao Lao smiled bitterly, "Even if Xiao Mu is a fool, it is also a member of my Xiao family, why do you think I will help an outsider?" ”

"Just because you are an honest and loyal minister, you may not help me, but you will never lie in front of the emperor."

"You ......"

Xiao Lao was speechless for a while.

After following Rong Qianhan for so long, she has learned not only medical skills and martial arts, but also insight into people's hearts.

Rong Qianhan once said that only by being able to understand people's hearts can we control everything.

On the way to Xiao's mansion, she deliberately asked the emperor a lot of things related to Xiao Lao, just to understand Xiao Lao's temperament and control the situation behind.

"Soon after my mother passed away, Xiao Mu took over the property under my mother's name, if I carefully investigate those past events, I'm afraid I will find out some unexpected things, right?"

Xiao Lao didn't answer.

"What Xiao Mu is doing now is just that he died alone, if it is found out that he is related to my mother's death, do you think the emperor will let your Xiao family go?"

Xiao Lao is an old minister, so he naturally knows about the emperor and Soho.

If Xiao Muzhen is related to Soho's death, the Xiao family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the responsibility of the Nine Clans.

He can still tell which is more important.

"Moreover, Xiao Mu is so bold that he dares to poison his own father, he may not be able to cause any trouble for the Xiao family one day, Xiao Lao is willing to watch the Xiao family be destroyed by this rebel?"

"I ......"

Xiao Lao had already begun to waver.

"The emperor is coming in soon, I hope you can make the right choice."

With that, she turned and walked to the door.

"You wait!"

She stopped and looked back at Xiao Lao.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"I'm willing to identify Xiao Mu."

Xiao Lao's answer was what she expected.

"But I have one condition, I want to keep Xiao Mu for one life, and half a life is fine."

"Good! I promise you. ”

Ah Yao opened the door, and several people outside the door looked at her at the same time.

Xiao Mu asked loudly: "What did you do to my father?" ”

"I forgot to tell you that I know some healing."

"How is Old Xiao now?" The emperor asked.

"I can speak."

When Xiao Mu heard this, his face turned pale, if he hadn't leaned against the door, his legs would have been unstable immediately.

Concubine Xiao looked delighted.

Several people immediately entered Xiao Lao's room and came to Xiao Lao's bed.

Xiao Lao was the first to see the emperor and said respectfully: "The old minister can't salute the emperor, please forgive the emperor." ”

"You're like this, so you don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Elder Xiao, what happened to you? Have you seen anyone who set fires? The emperor asked.

As Ah Yao said, Xiao Lao has been an important minister all his life, and he has made a lot of military exploits for Southern Xinjiang, and out of the instinct of a courtier, he can't lie to the emperor at all.

He looked at Xiao Mu, "It was Xiao Mu's side who sprinkled fire oil in my courtyard, he thought I didn't know, but in fact, I saw it." ”

"Daddy......"

Xiao Lao glanced at Xiao Mu and continued: "Later, my yard suddenly caught fire, and Xiao Mu rushed in immediately, but he didn't save me immediately, but watched me be hit by a pillar on the beam, and then pretended to save me. ”

"Xiao Mu!"

Concubine Xiao turned around and slapped Xiao Mu hard.

Xiao Mu covered his beaten cheeks, still making a final struggle, "It's not me, it's really not me." ”

"Dad said it himself, do you dare to quibble?"

"It's her! She must have threatened her father, and his father would say that. Xiao Mu pointed at Ah Yao.

Ah Yao shook her head and sighed lightly: "Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu! Now that the matter has come to this, you still have to blame everything on my head, you really don't regret dying. ”

Xiao Lao raised his eyes sharply and looked at Ah Yao, "Do you remember what you promised me?" ”

"I remember, as long as Xiao Mu has the heart to repent, the emperor will spare his life."

Xiao Lao hurriedly glared at Xiao Mu, "You quickly kneel down and confess your guilt, and ask the emperor to forgive you." ”

"I won't admit my guilt, I didn't do anything, why should I confess, you old man are like this, and you have to help an outsider to slander me, why don't you die?"

Xiao Mu was angry and scolded Xiao Lao.

The emperor frowned with a dark face.

Concubine Xiao scolded angrily: "Xiao Mu, do you know what you're talking about? ”
