Chapter 72: Investigation

"Help! Save me! ”

At this moment, Cheng Yuguan swam to the noble girl who fell into the water, and the noble girl seemed to see a life-saving straw, and slammed her limbs on Cheng Yuguan's body, with such great strength that Cheng Yuguan was instantly breathless.

In an instant, Cheng Yuguan reacted and stretched out his hand to knock the person unconscious, and the person stopped, and Cheng Yuguan also had a chance to take the person to the shore.

"Secretary Cheng, hurry, catch it!"

The palace people reacted immediately, took out the bamboo pole that had been prepared a long time ago, and asked Cheng Yuguan to take the unconscious noble girl ashore.

The nobles screamed on the wooden corridor, causing the people around them to become nervous, but Cheng Yuguan was right in front of her, and it was only a matter of a moment from the time she jumped down to the time when the two of them were brought ashore.

Before His Majesty and Empress could ask, the storm had already passed.

The female official of the Ministry of Goods came to the queen first, and someone fell into the water, Cheng Yuguan had already rescued her, and now she was changing clothes in the empty room in the water pavilion and reported to the queen.

When the queen mother heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

I saw the queen mother send away the female official of the secretary and the secretary, and said to the emperor and many concerned noble ladies.

"Our Yuguan is very fond of this palace banquet, and we went to the water pavilion to guard it just now. You say it's a coincidence, but someone fell into the water. Fortunately, Yuguan'er's water nature, I have seen it in this Dabo Lake last time, otherwise, I would not be able to sit still. ”

As she spoke, the queen looked at Her Majesty with a smile.

"It's no wonder that you say it's strange, a few years ago, there had never been such a thing at the palace banquet, but this time Yuguan was so attentive, and such a thing still happened. Feelings, this water ghost also deceives life. ”

There is a saying that "they are all foxes for thousands of years, what do you play and talk about fasting", although this is cheesy, it is also applicable today.

The people present were all human spirits, and as soon as the queen mother spoke, they knew that this was the queen mother's distress that Cheng Yuguan had bothered to arrange a palace banquet that had gone wrong, and she wanted to vent her anger for Cheng Yuguan.

Immediately, someone spoke.

"Could it be a misunderstanding, whose lady is it that fell into the water?"

The queen looked at the female official of the Si Wu Department on the side, and the female official stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother, and all the ladies, it was the young lady of the Ministry of Rites who fell into the water just now, Tang Zhi'er."

Everyone's eyes immediately looked at the lady of the Ministry of Rites who was sitting behind the crowd, Qin.

The Ministry of Rites is still a member of the second grade, and his wife is also a pivotal figure when he goes out of the palace. But above the palace banquet, in front of the super lords and the old family members of the pavilion, it is really not ranked, so they are behind the old lady of the pavilion.

At this time, in the face of everyone's eyes, the Qin family was shocked and angry, hurriedly got up from his seat, came to the center of the main hall of Linyuan Pavilion, and bowed to the ground in front of all the ladies and concubines, and then spoke, "Please allow the concubine to visit the water pavilion and see my uncompetitive daughter." ”

"Hurry up, your daughter's daughter's body has an accident in the palace, it should be me, the queen, to apologize to you."

The Qin family became more and more frightened, fell to the ground, and excused himself again and again, "The queen mother has tormented the concubine." ”

Seeing her like this, the queen mother didn't say anything more, "Go ahead, listen to what the imperial doctor has to say." Was it an accident, or was it a weak body, why did you fall into the water? ”

At this time, a palace banquet has come to an end, and seeing the branches, some women are interested in saying goodbye and leaving.

The queen glanced at the man, "What's the matter of leaving now, the show has just begun." Don't go, big guys, our last show today is to solve the case. I want to see who is the bag of Qingtian, who can clear the slander of Yuguan. ”

When the queen spoke, everyone looked at each other and did not dare to move.

After the queen mother finished speaking, she looked at the female official of the Siwu Division, and the majesty and restraint in her phoenix eyes seemed to be full of evil spirit, and when she listened carefully, it seemed to be an illusion.

"Go, bring me all the noble ladies and those who can come. I want to see how this water ghost drags people today. ”

"Yes, sis!"

The female official of the Siwu Division trembled in her heart, turned around and hurriedly went to call someone.

Many noble ladies came to the main hall of Linyuan Pavilion one after another, and they stood in the middle, facing the majestic emperor and queen, and the ladies on both sides of the table, with restrained and solemn eyebrows, a little at a loss.

"You don't have to panic, Si Wusi, you take the palace people to another room for interrogation, and you must find out who is in which direction and who is closest to Miss Tang when Miss Tang falls into the water. Did Miss Tang accidentally fall into the water herself, or did someone do it deliberately? ”

As soon as the queen mother came out with the voice of Mars, it made the nobles even more panicked.

Is this to set an example to the monkeys? Everyone's eyes first subconsciously looked at their own parents, and then looked at the queen mother in the upper position.

"Does Niang Niang suspect that one of us has killed someone?"

The lord of Fucheng has been in and out of the forbidden palace since he was a child, and the queen is familiar with it, so he asked on the spot.

"Fucheng! If you want to find out, you just listen. It's not you who do it, you don't want to come out in vain. ”

Princess Shunjun spoke, Fucheng glanced at the concubine and stepped aside.

Even the county lord of Fucheng was deflated, and at the moment, the nobles did not dare to say a word.

The queen smiled at this time and looked at the field.

"Although it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, a family can't always be with mud, otherwise it won't make people sad? Today, this palace will teach you noble girls, how to deal with this kind of thing at home in the future. Fucheng, since you came forward, you must be full of confidence, you come, this palace will ask you a few questions. ”

Fucheng's face changed, and then he walked up to the queen mother with a meaningless face.

She has a clear conscience, and the queen mother just asks.

Everyone only saw Fucheng step forward, and the queen asked in a low voice.

The pins in the hall can be heard, but the more times like this, the sound of drilling into the ears and eyes in the past seems to be silenced at this time, making it difficult to hear.

Everyone only saw the queen mother asking, and the lord of Fucheng made a gesture, and turned around from time to time to point at the nobles.

Everyone speculated that the queen mother was asking Tang Zhier who was closest and the most suspicious when she fell into the water.

At that moment, the nobles were nervous.

For a while, I am afraid of being seen, I am close to Tang Zhier, and I am afraid that others will not see me, so wouldn't there be no witnesses and be suspected out of thin air?

Just when everyone was worried, the county lord of Fucheng sat down and was by her mother's side, the county lord of Fushan stepped forward, and the queen began to ask questions again.

A good palace banquet caused an incident, but the queen attached so much importance to it, and she wanted to take this matter to teach the ladies and nobles a lesson.

The queen is an example for all the people, and when she says that she wants to teach the people, then the people can only listen and watch, and wait.

Didn't you see that even His Majesty was closing his eyes and recuperating from the sidelines, without the slightest impatience?

As the noble ladies stepped forward, everyone only felt that the days were like years, and when they looked at the east side of the lobby, the leak had only passed less than a quarter of an hour.

It's like years, it's really tormenting.

After the old daughter of the pavilion also sat down, "Miss Yulou", Cheng Yulou finally heard the palace people call her name, and Cheng Yulou stepped forward.

Her gaze unconsciously looked at the Lord of Fucheng, wanting to get some hints.

Is it all telling the truth, or is it appropriate to be confused and say that you have forgotten, or, alternatively, it is okay to "lie"?

"Miss Yulou, don't look around, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be suspicion of collusion."

Behind the queen, Mei Ling said with a smile, as if she was joking.

But no one dared to laugh.

Cheng Yulou was so confused by Mei Ling, and his mind was even more chaotic.

She stepped forward slowly, but finally walked up to the queen.

Except for the lord of Fucheng County, the lord of Fushan County, all the noble ladies were questioned by Mei Ling.

"Miss Cheng, Miss Tang is your friend, right? I heard that you often make appointments to do things in associations, and everyone says that you have a good relationship. ”

Mei Ling's crisp voice remembered, and Cheng Yulou subconsciously denied it.

"Nope!"

"I mean the sisters in the poetry club have a good relationship, not particularly good. Everyone is in Beijing, and they love to write poems to pass the time, so they often meet, and there is no special intention to surrender. ”

Cheng Yulou's voice subconsciously lowered, but she didn't want to, behind her, Fucheng and Fushan were very close, almost behind her, and they could hear it clearly.

Hearing Cheng Yulou clear up the relationship with Tang Zhier, the two sisters couldn't help but glance at each other.

People can be smart or smart, but at this time, in front of the queen, when it is obvious that right and wrong are clear, there is no room for ambiguity.

Cheng Yulou cleared up the relationship at this time, which inevitably made people feel villainous.

Besides, Tang Zhier is also a smart and bright girl, and she is not ashamed to be good friends with her. Unless there is a secret that you don't want others to know, you will subconsciously leave the relationship.

No one is stupid.

Sometimes there are things that don't need evidence to determine who did it.

The two sisters originally thought that Tang Zhi'er was just an accident, but the queen mother forced her niece to come forward.

Now it seems that there is indeed a hidden secret.

At that moment, the two glanced at each other, and their eyes were clear. The impatience and anger in his eyes just now subsided, and he turned his head down, looked at his nose and his nose, and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"At that time, Miss Tang fell into the water, are you by Miss Tang's side? Did you see who was closest to Miss Tang at that time? ”

Mei Ling's questions, sentence after sentence, did not give people time to think at all.

Cheng Yulou's heart was pounding, and she could only subconsciously answer quickly, wanting to leave quickly.

Because she was afraid that the queen mother and others would hear her violent heartbeat.

"I'm not by her side, I'm holding Fucheng a few at that time, don't conflict with the big sister. At that moment, I seemed to see that Miss Bai and Tang Zhi'er were very close, as if they were whispering, and then in the blink of an eye, Miss Tang fell into the water. I also saw someone in the water after someone shouted for help. ”

Cheng Yulou answered Mei Ling's words in one breath, and after listening to it, Mei Ling smiled slightly and comforted Cheng Yulou, who seemed a little nervous.

"Miss Cheng doesn't have to be nervous, you are a noble daughter, we are not in court, and we have to be tortured, just ask a few words."

Mei Ling finished speaking with a smile, and the words changed, "But just now the county lord of Fucheng said that I saw you and Tang Zhi'er walking very close just now, and it seemed that you said something, and then not long after they separated, Miss Tang fell into the water." She also said that you are very talented and chatty on weekdays. It seems that the relationship between Miss Cheng and her heart is not consistent with the relationship she gets along with on weekdays. ”

Cheng Yulou's heart beat faster.

"If you say a few words, you just say that the relationship is good, then isn't it the noble girls in the capital who have a good relationship with me? Miss Tang and I only talk about poetry and articles, and rarely talk about other things. When I talked to her just now, I just met to say hello and say a few words, nothing else. ”

Cheng Yulou's words made Fucheng Fushan behind her couldn't help but close her eyes.

"That's good," Mei Ling smiled, and then she relented, "Miss Cheng will go back to Mrs. Chang to rest first, and there are a few people, and it will be fine immediately." When the time comes, who is right and who is wrong, the queen has her own public opinion. ”

Cheng Yulou's heart fell to the ground, glanced at the queen's mother, and retreated.

The same question, after being asked once, it only took a quarter of an hour to get started, and under mutual confirmation, the queen mother already had some bottom in her heart.

So, it's not hard to get to the bottom of it, and it doesn't take much time.

The reason why everyone will not get to the bottom of it is not that they are afraid of the trouble of this matter, but that they are afraid of the people and things behind this matter.

"Mother, it's been clarified."

The female officer of the department of affairs went to the court and reported the results of the interrogation.

The queen mother opened her eyes and looked at the female official, her voice was deep, with an irreversible strength, "Said." ”

"Tell Niangniang, just now someone from the palace happened to notice Miss Tang. Because the banquet began, the secretary of the future explained to the palace people, paying attention to the abnormalities everywhere and the abnormalities of people. ”

"But tonight, Miss Tang is very abnormal. As if she had something on her mind, she hid behind everyone, and at first the palace people thought she was unwell and stepped forward to ask. Miss Tang is that she has no problem, and she doesn't have to bother the palace people. ”

After that, the palace people were still not at ease, so they paid more attention to Miss Tang, who expected that Miss Tang left the crowd and stood by the water when the nobles were talking to Cheng Siwu. Before the palace people could react, she fell into the water in the next second. ”

During this period, the palace people clearly saw that all the daughters and nobles were theorizing with Cheng Siwu, and no one approached Miss Tang, let alone had no intention of colliding. And,"

"The railing where Miss Tang is standing has been checked today, and there is not a trace of looseness. Therefore, the possibility of accidents is ruled out. As for why Miss Tang fell into the water, the palace people said..."

"Say what?"

Mei Ling asked loudly, and everyone sat upright.

Everyone knows that the drama meat is coming, and the truth about Tang Zhi'er falling into the water is at this time.

In fact, it is really not difficult to check one thing in front of everyone's eyes.

In particular, Cheng Yuguan arranged for a large number of palace people to pay attention to the railing of the water pavilion, dozens of pairs of eyes stared, either this one saw it, or that one perceived, no matter what happened, there may not be anything abnormal at that time, and when the results were inferred forward, it was a trace of clues, and there was nowhere to hide.

Everyone stared at the female official of the Siwu Division with burning eyes, and even the emperor no longer closed his eyes and looked at the Siwu Division, but among the people present, there were a few people who were very abnormal, they did not stare at the Si Wu Division, but looked at each other.
