72. Shen Qingluan showed his skills
She patted Jun Qian's trembling body, motioned for her to get out of the way, and raised her eyebrows at Chen Xuan invisibly, but she was completely beautiful and difficult to look at.
"Since the adults want to arrest the people who collude with the thieves, why bother so much, you can come and ask me."
Chen Xuan didn't answer, just looked at her expressionlessly, just waiting to hear how she quibbled or begged for mercy.
"If what I expected, my lord should have discovered that Du Kang ordered people to secretly contact the rebel party yesterday, right?"
Chen Xuan was surprised in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and he hooked his lips and sneered and did not answer.
Fortunately, Shen Qingluan could guess the answer without him speaking.
After Du Kang came out of prison, she was placed in the outer courtyard of the big house to do cleaning, which lasted only four days.
Shen Qingluan's eyes were lightly closed, his left hand was on the back of his right hand, and his index finger was lightly tapped.
In the past four days, although she has not watched Du Kang's words and deeds with her own eyes, there is one thing, she knows everything about the people, grass, and trees in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
"There are a total of fifty-eight maids in the inner and outer courtyards of the Hou Mansion, thirty-four maids, and twenty-nine mothers-in-law.
She opened her eyes suddenly, her fingers dotted in the air, "Lilac, Long Lotus, Snow Goose, Yunshang, Zhou Lin......"
The subordinates she had hit were all pushed out tremblingly, standing in the center of everyone's eyes with a desperate face.
Calling the names of more than thirty people in one go, Chen Xuanfu took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean, you mean that spies may be among these people?" ”
Shen Qingluan glanced at him and turned his gaze back to the subordinates, "Reasoning, no." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Xuan asked again.
"They all corresponded with Du Kang on the orders of their masters."
"How do you know? Could it be that you send people to keep an eye on him all day long? ”
Shen Qingluan glanced at him charity, and there was an indescribable taste in his eyes:
Lilac was responsible for distributing clothes, and Du Kang used clothes, shoes and socks to enter the house on the first day. Changhe is responsible for distributing the daily meals, Snow Goose is responsible for counting the flowers and forests of the entire house, and Du Kang wants to sweep the outer courtyard, so he naturally has to obey her orders......"
She spoke lightly, and in just a few words, she clearly explained the movements around Du Kang in the past four days, and the people and things she had come into contact with, as if she had seen it herself!
After speaking, she raised her lips and smiled, "Why bother to see it with your own eyes, the servants in the house will report to me every day, just think about it with your brain, and you will know it clearly." ”
Everyone present set off a storm in their hearts!
Especially Chen Xuan, he finally faced Shen Qingluan for the first time.
Just listening to the servant's report, he will completely connect a person's movements, others may not know that this matter is serious, but Chen Xuan, who is good at investigating cases, understands that this matter is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do!
Gain has to memorize all the big and small events of the past few days in his mind, and he has to sort out everything according to the timeline without any mistakes or omissions.
Not only does this require an excellent memory, but it also requires her to be fully aware of what is happening in the entire house.
What a terrible mastery and insight this is! Even the most powerful military advisor in the army may not be able to do so well.
Chen Xuan asked impatiently: "Then can you guess who is the spy among these people who came into contact with him?" ”
After he asked this, all the subordinates who were named had their backs tightened, and they didn't dare to look at Shen Qingluan, for fear that she would call out their names.
Shen Qingluan really pondered for a moment, his eyes constantly roaming the crowd.
After a while, he retracted his gaze, "What I said just now is all the natural things that will happen in this mansion.
The spies may take the opportunity to contact Du Kang among these people, and if the adults take them all back and torture them, they should be able to find out the truth. ”
Those subordinates were all mournful, and the timid body was weak, and they fainted in a daze.
Chen Xuan was also stunned.
This answer was not what he wanted.
In addition to finding out the spies today, he also wanted to use this matter to pull Jun Hongbai into the water.
Although I don't know why the Hou Ye ordered this, he has always been the only one who is the first to look forward to the horse.
If you are told, you must do it.
If you only bring these subordinates back, it will inevitably be thought that he is not doing well......
Just as he was racking his brains to figure out a way, Shen Qingluan's voice rose slightly: "However, except for these people, others are not without suspicion. ”
Chen Xuan couldn't figure out what medicine she was selling in her gourd, and subconsciously asked, "Who else!" ”
Shen Qingluan glanced sideways at the other subordinates in the mansion, "Then I have to ask you, what I pointed out just now is that I contacted Du Kang because of official business."
If anyone is not on the list, but has appeared next to Du Kang, then he is the most suspicious! ”
Chen Xuan frowned.
thought that Shen Qingluan wanted to expand the number of people involved in the case, but she didn't expect her to put forward such a statement.
If this person is pointed out, let alone take Jun Hongbai away, it is impossible to even make a big deal about this matter.
But then he thought of something else.
The spies who oppose the party have always been cautious, and these ordinary subordinates of the Hou Mansion can find traces.
It's okay for Shen Qingluan to say this, when no one will testify against the suspect, he just took all the people in the house away for interrogation under this pretext.
As for Jun Hongbai, although he can't be arrested directly, as long as this matter is big enough, it shouldn't be difficult to detain him for the crime of incompetence.
His heart gradually relaxed, Chen Xuan straightened his waist and glanced at these ordinary, ordinary, and not very smart subordinates in the courtyard.
After a moment, he smiled again: "If no one can say it, then ......"
"I remember!" An excited, almost hoarse voice rang out.
The smile on Chen Xuan's face froze before he even had time to finish it.
"At three o'clock the day before yesterday, I sent Du Kang to the house where I lived, and I just saw the yellow handle who was driving the car coming out of the house!"
It was Zhou Lin who was in charge of allocating the residence of the subordinates in the outer courtyard.
His face was full of despair and madness, and he pointed directly at the yellow-knuckled door with one hand, even a little hysteria.
"At that time, he said that he came to Li Zhong to borrow money, how could it be so coincidental that I came to borrow money when I placed Du Kang, he must be a spy of the traitor! Arrest him, my lord! ”
His accusations are not very well-founded, and even sound far-fetched.
Huang Jiangshi was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Let go of your mother's bullshit, I lost the bet and was short of money, so I went to Li Zhong to borrow money, and I didn't even say a word to the person surnamed Du!" You have to die yourself, don't pull Lao Tzu into the water! ”
The two of them scolded together, but Shen Qingluan did not refute or deny it, but only looked at Huang Jiao casually, "Quiet." ”
Her voice is not loud, and she even exudes a woman's unique gentle aura, which can be heard in the ears of the subordinates, but it is more effective than the holy decree.
The courtyard was as quiet as if all the people had died.
Chen Xuan's heart slowly sank.
Shen Qingluan's control of the Hou Mansion was far more solid than he thought.
Zhou Lin, who was stopped, looked at Chen Xuan, who was holding a long knife and was full of fierce energy, and a trace of despair crossed his face.
If you can't find the real spies, they're the ones who will be caught.
This thought came to mind at the same time in the hearts of the thirty or so people who were named.
"Liu Cheng......" Another dry and hoarse voice sounded, and a maid said tremblingly:
"When the slave maid delivered food to Du Kang, she saw Liu Cheng's back in a hurry."
Liu Cheng, who was named, changed his face and said angrily: "I didn't!" ”
Shen Qingluan's old god was standing aside, as if he didn't care about their explanations, but his gaze swept over everyone's faces without a trace.
As they spoke, as if the curtain of some kind of drama had been opened, more and more people began to testify that people had appeared around Du Kang for no apparent reason, and the atmosphere in the courtyard that had been stalemate suddenly became fierce and sharp.
Chen Xuan pulled out all the accused people, and there were more than a dozen people.
Bang bang, Chen Xuan only felt that his face was beaten.
Since he couldn't guess the direction of the matter, he simply stopped guessing Shen Qingluan's intentions and simply waited for her to speak.
Even he didn't notice it, and before he knew it, he had already lost the initiative and was completely led by Shen Qingluan.
Even these subordinates present were more in awe of Shen Qingluan, an unarmed woman, than him, a majestic and fierce general.
Shen Qingluan glanced at the person who was pointed out again, and bowed his head at Chen Xuan, "It's these people, adults can interrogate them clearly." ”
That's it?
Chen Xuan had a feeling that this was indeed the case, but it was unexpected.
She went to great lengths to make such a play, and then honestly gave people to him?
Being held by Shen Qingluan for so long, the dust will settle down, and he actually feels a trace of relief and gratitude.
Although the current result was a little different from his original plan, he didn't want to be entangled anymore, for fear that Shen Qingluan would change his mind after a while.
However, with Jun Chengsong's instructions, he still has no way to take Shen Qingluan.
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for his subordinates to tie everyone up, and the sword was pushed and shoved and walked out.
"Wait."
Shen Qingluan's indifferent voice sounded again, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but look back, "Madame has something to say at one time, but it's only three things, and this official doesn't have such good patience!" ”
Shen Qingluan ignored his complaints, only walked slowly to a person, and unexpectedly took off the bracelet on the person's hand, without looking at it lightly.
Chen Xuan's hand was faster than his brain, and he subconsciously grabbed a firm, "What's the matter!" ”
The person who was taken off the bracelet by Shen Qingluan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly touched his wrist.
When he understood what was happening, his face turned pale.
"The real spy has been found, and Lord Chen doesn't have to worry about being punished for his incompetence."
Everyone looked at the determined smile on her face, and they couldn't keep up with her train of thought for a while.
Chen Xuan is still experienced, and after reacting, he hurriedly pinched the bracelet with his bare hands.
The thin silver skin was crushed in his hand like tofu dregs, revealing a very iconic piece of parchment paper inside!
