Chapter 156 Qiuwen Confessions
Qiu Wen took a closer look, there was indeed a very fine scratch on the tail of the gold hairpin, like a cloud pattern, she hadn't paid much attention to it usually.

"This is a variant of the word 'Fu'. At first glance, it looks like a cloud pattern, but it actually means that it comes from the largest gold jewelry store in Yaodu: Zhoufu Gold Jewelry!" Wen Huang said, "Gold and silver are precious metals. To prevent illegal transactions , the law stipulates that the purchase and sale of gold and silver ores and finished products must be recorded in the book."

Wen Huang threw the nobile hairpin back: "In short, even these jewelry can be traced to the source and flow direction! One catches one for sure!

At that time, it will be clear who is buying information from you to inquire about the emperor's affairs!

Qiuwen, if you say it now, the Empress Dowager will give you a lighter sentence!If you insist on not telling, after we find out, you will be an accomplice! "

Qiuwen stammered, "Wh... what kind of party?"

Wen Huang: "These things were all given to you by Zhao Cairen, right? Have you ever thought about how she, a concubine who was born as a servant, got so much money? Obviously someone behind her provided her with property. What do people want to do? Maybe it is to assassinate the emperor!"

Qiu Wen had already been overwhelmed by Wen Huang's words, and when she heard the word "assassination", she immediately softened, prostrated herself on the ground and cried: "The empress dowager! The empress dowager! I'm not! I'm not! It's just... It’s Zhao Cairen! She told her servant that she would pay me if she told her the news she got from various places in the palace... The servant thought she was just trying to win favor, so she agreed to her just because she was greedy for money! The servant never I never thought that she might be..."

She knelt and climbed in front of Wen Huang, with a look of fear on her face: "Empress! This servant really doesn't know! Besides, this servant didn't tell her anything! It's all irrelevant. This servant still thinks she's a fool, What's the use of spending so much money to inquire about these things?"

Wen Huang said: "Sophisticated assassinations often start with insignificant things. A piece of clothing, a sip of water, a piece of tea! Do you think assassins will rush in from the main entrance with a big knife in their hands?"

Qiu Wen was crying out of breath: "Your servant deserves ten thousand deaths! This slave and maid deserves ten thousand deaths!"

Wen Huang saw that she was sincere in repentance, she did not seem to be lying, and looked at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the person behind this has to be dug out!"

The Empress Dowager looked at her strangely, and said nothing for a while.

Wen Huang: "Mother queen?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and said, "What's your plan?"

Wen Huang said: "What do you know, my daughter-in-law? I just think that we shouldn't startle the snake, and report to the emperor first to see what plans the emperor has."

"Yeah!" The Queen Mother nodded: "What about Qiu Wen? How do you think it should be dealt with?"

Wen Huang said: "Look at my daughter-in-law, if she is a traitor, she is not so stupid as to keep so much silver around her! She even wears it out from time to time to show off. It should be greedy for money, and does not harm the emperor's heart! Why don't the mother give it to her?" Let her have a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

The queen mother frowned and thought about it, then looked at Qiuwen: "Qiuwen, do you understand what the queen means?"

"Understood!" Qiu Wen was very clever, and hurriedly said, "Your servant pretends nothing happened! Do what you have to do! Even if you risk your life, you will definitely help the emperor find out the spy behind the scenes." people!"

The queen mother nodded and looked at Wen Huang: "Then you take her back! Whether she lives or dies is up to you."

Wen Huang: "Yes!"
