The footprint in front of him is about a foot long, in this era, a foot is about 23 centimeters, Lin Zhiyu tried to recall the knowledge he had learned in modern times, and calculated the height of the other party in his heart.

If she is not mistaken, the height of the other party is probably about one meter six, which is a little short in the palace.

"Qiaoxiu, do you say there is a medicine that can make people confused, but can still retain their mobility?"

"When we train, we usually kill the target with one blow, and we don't know much about medicine." Qiaoxiu stood up and patted the dust on her body.

There were no witnesses, and there was no physical evidence, Lin Zhiyu felt that he was going around and around, as if he had gone back to square one.

Based on speculation alone, without strong evidence, even if Lin Xiaolian survived, there was no way to prove her innocence.

"The big girl is here."

Lan Xiang's voice sounded behind him, Lin Zhiyu put the broken wood pieces into his sleeve, turned around and pretended not to know anything, and asked, "You are not waiting for Jiang Zhaoyi, why did you come here?" ”

"The maid next to the eldest girl made a mistake, and the maid asked the slave to come and invite the eldest girl to come over."

Lin Zhiyu nodded, followed behind Lan Xiang, and looked each other up and down silently.

She noticed that Lan Xiang's shoes were a little muddy, and the back of the shoe seemed to have been stepped on.

People who work in the palace are the most particular about grooming, and even outside the palace, it is difficult to break the habit of scrubbing every day.

"Lan Xiang, did you forget to scrub your shoes last night?" Lin Zhiyu pretended to be kind and reminded, while quietly observing Lan Xiang's reaction.

Lan Xiang was puzzled by Lin Zhiyu's sudden question, but she still subconsciously lifted the hem of her skirt, and saw that her shoes were indeed dirty, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face.

"Thank you for reminding the eldest girl, the slave was very tired after serving the mother to sleep last night, and probably didn't wipe it clean."

Lin Zhiyu turned around and glanced at Qiaoxiu, Qiaoxiu looked at Lan Xiang, and then nodded to Lin Zhiyu.

When Fang Lanxiang lifted the hem of her skirt, Lin Zhiyu also paid attention to the length of her shoes, which seemed to match the footprints on the ground.

Could it be that Jiang Tongmiao is directing all this behind the scenes? What is the motivation?

Before Lin Zhiyu could think clearly, Lin Xiaolian's screams came from ahead.

"Say! When did you hook up with that monk! ”

Mama Xu clasped her hands on her chest, her eyes were very contemptuous.

Lin Xiaolian knelt on the ground, with distinct slap marks on both sides of her face, the corners of her mouth were broken, and thin blood flowed down the corners of her mouth.

"Mama, I really don't know her, I don't know anything!"

"Don't know? I wonder if you two can lie down together? ”

Mama Xu raised her hand, and when the slap was about to fall, Lin Zhiyu stepped into the wing, and when she saw this scene, she hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”

Mama Xu's whole body trembled, and when she turned around, she found that it was Lin Zhiyu, so she withdrew her hand and gave up a place to the side.

Qiaoxiu was about to step forward to help Lin Xiaolian up, but Mama Xu stood in front of her, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jiang Tongmiao sat in the middle, with both hands on the armrests of the chair, and two grandmothers on the left and right dyed her nails with flower juice.

"Lin Xiaolian should have been killed directly for such a shameful act, but after all, she is the person next to the eldest girl, and she still has to inform the eldest girl."

"Tortured so easily, dare to ask Niangniang, but have you investigated it clearly?" Lin Zhiyu was very distressed when he saw Lin Xiaolian's appearance, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his tone.

"How is this not clear? The witnesses are all there, and this monk has also been recruited, but the eldest girl wants to listen to it? ”

Jiang Tongmiao casually raised her chin to the monk who was also kneeling on the ground.

The monk didn't have any injuries on his body, knelt straight again, kowtowed to Lin Zhiyu, and said: "My original name was Zhang Lin, and I grew up with Xiaolian, but later she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion as a maid, and I knew that I was not worthy of her, so I came to Cheng'en Temple to be a monk." ”

"I didn't expect to see her here again, and last night I was getting ready to rest when she suddenly pushed the door in and we couldn't help ourselves, so we did that."

Zhang Lin narrated very fluently, without any hesitation, as if he had memorized the words early in the morning.

"When the slave maid went to deliver something to Xu Xiuyuan last night, she smelled a very strange smell, and she didn't realize it later." Lin Xiaolian retorted with tears in her eyes.

Mama Xu snorted lightly: "Can a sentence of unconsciousness prove that you were framed?" The patrol people yesterday said that they saw you go to Zhang Lin's wing alone! ”

"Liu'er, yes, the slave remembered it, I did see Liu'er last night, and the mother can call her to ask!" Lin Xiaolian raised her head suddenly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Little, I've been asking a long time ago, she hasn't seen you at all!" Mama Xu sneered, "Zhaoyi Niangniang, big girl, this little lotus keeps saying that she is wronged, it is better to let the old body come to test it, if it is still a perfect body, isn't this self-defeating." ”

The nails seemed to be dyed, and the two grandmothers cleaned up the mud on Jiang Tongmiao's nails, cleaned them up, and retreated silently.

Jiang Tongmiao was unhurried, first raised his hand, admired it against the sun, and then said slowly: "Reasonable, go." ”

Lin Xiaolian was visibly flustered: "Miss, no, no...... Yes! ”

Mama Xu dragged Lin Xiaolian's hair, Lin Xiaolian was in pain, and instinctively screamed.

"What's noisy, if you don't get tired, what are you afraid of?" Mama Xu said and dragged Lin Xiaolian indoors.

Lin Zhiyu walked towards Zhang Qing, squatted down, and said in a low voice: "Are you Jiang Tongmiao's person?" ”

Zhang Qing was stunned by the question, and after reacting, he sneered and turned his head.

Lin Zhiyu said again: "Are you for money?" Or something else? As long as you tell me who is behind it, I can find a way to save your life. But if you don't know what to do, the seventy-two punishments, I will naturally have a thousand ways for you to taste them all. ”

"Mastermind?" Zhang Qing seemed to have heard some big joke, "She used to be dark and thin, but I didn't expect her to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the whole person was a lot plumper, when she screamed last night, that taste, tsk tsk......"

Lin Zhiyu's face froze.

"Are you her master? Hahaha, the Prime Minister's Mansion is really a place to raise people, but it's a pity that I'm going to die, otherwise I have to taste the taste of a noble girl in the capital if I say anything. ”

Zhang Qingse's squinting eyes swirled on Lin Zhiyu's body, and he smashed his mouth twice, and Leng Buding stretched out his hand towards Lin Zhiyu and grabbed her chest.

Before Lin Zhiyu could react, Qiaoxiu on the side immediately flew up and hit Zhang Qing's face.

As if he couldn't feel the pain, Zhang Qing turned over and got up, wiped his face hard, and muttered: "Forget your worries, it's really a good thing......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Qing stood up suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, and slammed into the pillar on the side!

Everything happened between the lightning and flint, Lin Zhiyu didn't have time to stop it, only heard a dull "bang", Zhang Qing fell to the ground softly, his legs and feet twitched twice, and there was no more sound.
