Chang'an is good

Chapter 120 Falling into the Altar (ask for a monthly ticket)

Yao Yi looked at Mrs. Xie's master and servant: "May I ask Mrs. Xie if there is anything you want to explain?"

The servant woman was secretly annoyed that those Xuan Ce soldiers actually took such trivial matters into their eyes!

It was clear that nothing had happened in the building at that time, they did it for no reason, how could they even keep an eye on when their bearers left, whether there was a lamp in their hand or not?

Xie's face was cold and arrogant: "I have never left since I entered the building. I don't know where the bearer went and what he did. I don't know what Yao Tingwei wants to hear from me?"

Yao Yi didn't argue with her: "Since I know Madam doesn't know, then I can only ask the bearer to come up and answer, so as not to cause misunderstanding and make people misunderstand Madam."

Xie sneered in his heart: "Yao Tingwei, please."

And got Cui Jing's nod, a Xuan Ce soldier quickly went downstairs, and quickly brought the bearer up.

The bearer's heart was pounding, he entered the building and felt at a loss under the watchful eyes of Yao Yi and others, he frequently looked at Mrs. Xie and the servant girl.

But Mrs. Xie didn't look at him.

"I want to ask you, did you know about the servant woman next to Mrs. Xie going downstairs to get tea in the sedan chair?"

Hearing this "I'm an official", the bearer's calf trembled in fright, and he subconsciously looked at the servant: "Mother Qiao, why... what's wrong?"

Yao Yi frowned, and raised his voice two minutes: "I am asking you something, but why are you asking someone else?"

The bearer turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt down.

Although he is also Mrs. Xie's person, compared with Mother Qiao, he is just a hard-working bearer whose name is unknown, and his courage is as insignificant as his status.

The servant woman said sharply: "However Yao Tingwei asks, you just answer truthfully!"

The face of the bearer kneeling there changed again and again. Although he was timid, he still had some brains. He thought about it quickly, nodded and said, "Yes...Nurse Qiao went downstairs to get tea."

Yao Yi: "Then did she say anything to you when she was fetching tea?"

"Say..." The bearer's tongue was knotted: "Tell the villains to guard the sedan chair!"

"In that case, why did you leave alone after she went upstairs?"

The bearer's face changed, and he could only say: "I, I'm going to have a pee!"

"Then why did you carry the lamp in your hand when you went, but the lamp in your hand was gone when you came back?"

Sweat dripped from the bearer's forehead suddenly.

How...you even know this!
The words Qiaomao whispered to him sounded in his mind-hang this lamp to Fenggu Lane, don't talk to people, don't stay, go back quickly, if someone asks you afterwards, just say go to have a rest up.

That's all he knows!

Although he felt that this order was a little strange, he could only follow it as a bearer, and he didn't dare to ask why.

But now he was suddenly brought up for questioning...

The man raised his eyes quietly, looking in shock at the serious faces of everyone in the building... Judging by his posture, something serious must have happened!
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yao Yi asked coldly, "Did you leave that lamp in Fenggu Lane?"

There was a "boom" in the bearer's mind, and he subconsciously said, "No... I haven't been to Fenggu Lane before!"

Mother Qiao didn't let him talk nonsense at first, the more accidents happened, the more unrecognizable she would be!

Yao Yi: "Where is that lamp?"

"Deng..." the bearer said tremblingly, "When Xiaoxie lifted his trousers, the lamp accidentally dropped in the urinal...and he didn't pick it up again!"

Some female relatives frowned slightly.

Yao Yi asked again: "Where did you relieve yourself?"

"It's at the end of the back street... under that old willow tree!" The bearer answered without hesitation this time, "If your lord doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to go and have a look! It's just that the lantern... probably has been blown away by the wind! "

Yao Yi thought for a moment.

Not to mention that more than an hour has passed, and there are really urine marks and dried, just saying that it is claimed to be in the back street, even if it is actually seen, it does not mean anything-it is normal to urinate on the way back from Fenggu Lane.

This bearer is timid but timid, but his mouth is strict...

At this time, the attendant he sent to Fenggu Lane to check also came back: "My lord, I didn't find any lanterns near Fenggu Lane."

Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "The East Palace has a new batch of palace servants recently, and tomorrow I will go to the East Palace to inspect the palace regulations. It's already late now, so I won't accompany you."

In her words, Yao Yi could clearly hear the meaning of using the palace to oppress others.

Like Chang Suining, he had already made up his mind about whether Mrs. Xie had something to do with this matter - he had handled so many cases, the answer was almost obvious.

But speculation alone cannot convince the public, and evidence is needed to speak. Without evidence, everything can be called a "coincidence" by the other party.

If he was given more time, he would definitely be able to find out other clues, but the identity of the other party was here, and he really didn't have a good reason to keep him from letting him go.

Once the other party leaves, there will be a secret move to erase the clues.

And the most important clue at the moment is obviously...

When Yao Yi looked at the bearer subconsciously, he only heard Chang Suining who was sitting in the chair say: "Madam Xie can go, but the bearer needs to stay."

Just now, she and Cui Jing exchanged a look.

As early as when she had just promised to draw a picture to prove herself, the two had met their eyes once.

At that time, Cui Jing had a few words with Chang Kuo, and then Yuan Xiang left Dengtai Tower under Cui Jing's order.

At that time, Chang Suining knew that Cui Jing sent people to investigate.

Therefore, whether she deliberately drew a complicated and time-consuming painting, or the "contradictory" remarks directed at Xie just now, they all have another important purpose of delaying time.

At this time, it is the same reason to ask the bearer to stay.

Enraged by her request, Mrs. Xie sneered and asked, "How long will Mrs. Chang continue to mess around?"

"It's just nonsense." Chang Suining looked at the bearer: "What he said just now, who can prove that it is true? Could it be that just a few words from him can clear up the suspicion?"

"That's right." Wei Shuyi came over and said, "Unless he can prove himself that he has never been to Fenggu Lane—"

The word "self-certification" made Xie's face darken: "Wei Shilang is an important minister of the court. It is said that he is very familiar with the laws of our court. Dare to ask which law was violated by this farce tonight? Did it kill someone, or was it stolen? Why do you need to arrest and interrogate the servants of the old family?"

farce?

Almost ruined the festival of fame, but said lightly what a farce!
Wei Miaoqing couldn't bear it anymore and stood up: "Whether the woman's so-called innocence is damaged or not, which law did she violate? Did she kill someone or steal it? Why can everyone come to interrogate and discuss it? Let Mrs. Chang prove herself in public It is Mrs. Xie, now it is the turn of my own servant who is obviously suspected of being an accomplice to testify, so why should I ask?!"

She finished speaking in one breath, and she was surprised first.

This... This is what she said?

Sure enough, did he have some talent tonight, or else this mouth could be so smooth when meeting Mrs. Xie? !

When Xie heard this, a layer of frost covered his face, and he looked at Wei Miaoqing fixedly.

She recognized at a glance that this was Zheng Guogong's first daughter.

In other words, she remembered very clearly all those aliens who behaved badly but refused to obey discipline.

She seemed to disdain Wei Miaoqing at all, and only said in a cold voice: "My son is nothing, the old man was interrogated by Yao Tingwei just now, it is to give Yao Tingwei face, and to give you an explanation. But all the answers that should be answered have already been answered, If you continue to insist on stalking, you will be suspected of having ulterior motives!"

She usually treats people with a serious attitude, but now her face is completely cold and her voice is cold and powerful, so it is very easy for everyone, especially the female family members, to dare not have the slightest rebuttal idea.

"Is it too early for Mrs. Xie to say—" Cui Jing spoke.

He looked past Xie Shi and looked at Yuan Xiang who was walking upstairs quickly.

Ming Luo, who had never spoken a word, also looked over, and seeing Yuan Xiang approaching, she already had the answer in her heart.

Yuan Xiang didn't come back by himself, he brought two people, one big and one small, with him.

The older one was a young man dressed as a peddler, and the younger one was a boy of eight or nine years old.

"That's him! He's Zhou's second son!" As soon as the boy came over, he pointed to the man surnamed Zhou who was kneeling on the ground.

The man was taken aback: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to testify!" The boy glared at him: "I saw you sneaking around in the afternoon, holding a bag in your arms, and you seemed to want to run... I followed you all the way to Fenggu Lane, and saw someone If you come and hang up a lamp and you leave, then you will know that you are going to do something bad!"

The man also stared at him: "You... didn't you just borrow ten cents from your sister, why are you following me like this!"

The boy snorted and said, "What are you borrowing? You got it by pretending to be sick. Who knows if you refused to pay back the money and ran away secretly! You uncles and nephews are not good people!"

So he picked up the lamp and waited for Zhou Lao Er to come out near the Dengtai Tower, until he was stopped by Yuan Xiang who was leading people around to investigate and question him.

At this time, Jiantong also recognized the boy.

When he followed Zhou Ding that day, Zhou Ding came out of the gambling house and was knocked down by the boy. Impulsively, he wanted to harm the boy, so he picked up a stone and smashed the black dog in the alley to wake up, thus saving the boy's life.

Unexpectedly, this child became a witness today.

"I'm not a good person. I was bought by someone, and I don't deny it..." Zhou Er Er knelt down on the ground and sighed.

"This little brother just said that he saw someone hanging a lantern in Fenggu Lane?" Yao Yi said at the right time.

The boy nodded quickly: "Yes! I've been staring at it, and I can see it clearly!"

Yao Yi nodded in relief.

Children are full of energy, and they are the only ones who can do such a thing in such a hot day.

"Then do you see if that person is in the building?"

The boy saw the bearer at a glance, and stretched out his finger: "It's him!"

The bearer's face was startled: "You are talking nonsense!"

"I can see clearly that you secretly hung up this lamp at the entrance of the alley!" The boy didn't give him a chance to quibble, and said to Yao Yi: "He was holding his sleeves up at the time, and I saw a bullet on his arm. Big black mole! It seems to be on the right!"

The weather is hot, and it is common for men doing rough work to wear their stomachs and shirtless, but Xie's rules are strict, and no servants are allowed to wear clothes that do not cover their limbs.

At this moment, his sleeves were put down, and he shook his head repeatedly when he heard the boy's words.

Under Chang Kuo's signal, two servants stepped forward, one restrained him, and the other rolled up his right sleeve, and there was a striking black mole.

The maid next to Mrs. Xie gritted her teeth and said, "Where did you find the hairy boy... I don't know who he is colluding with and dares to slander my wife!"

It's good that she didn't speak, but this utterance provoked an accusation——

"It's the lantern she... bought from the villain."

The peddler said to Yuan Xiang.

Only then did the maid realize that this was the lantern vendor, and her complexion turned pale.

Although she felt that there would be no mistakes in such matters, she was still extremely careful and did not dare to use the lanterns in her own house. Instead, she bought a simple plain lantern on the way here to use it...

But who would have thought that these people could touch this peddler!

The maid's face was covered with cold sweat, but she still said: "You...you may not have colluded long ago!"

However, everyone has made a distinction in their hearts.

Today's victim is Mrs. Chang, so why is the victim colluding?
Countless eyes looked at Mrs. Xie.

The bearer knelt on the ground and shivered.

Zhou Laoer moved towards him, and said in the tone of someone who came over: "I said big brother, you should follow me too, so you should admit it... Think about it, you just went back like this, can you still live?" ?”

He has been crying and howling all night, his mouth is dry, his strength is gone, and his knees are hurting, so he wants to end it quickly.

This sympathetic and slightly caring advice made the bearer who had already collapsed almost cry, and the last string also collapsed.

"Yes...it was Qiaomao who asked me to hang the lanterns! I didn't do anything else and didn't know anything! Just now, the villain lied because of Qiaomao's confession. The villain is a low-class slave, and life and death are the words of the master." The matter of the words... I dare not not listen!"

As the bearer said, he suddenly rushed forward and hugged Yao Yi's leg, crying and begging, "Lord Yao, I heard that you are a good official, please show mercy and help this villain redeem himself from this sea of ​​fire! The villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life Repay your kindness!"

"..." Yao Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I can redeem you for you."

The bearer was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly.

Zhou Lao Er was taken aback for a moment.

He just dialed it like this... How did this big brother fly up the branch and become a phoenix!

So far, there is no objection to the truth, and there is an uproar from all around.

The way those female relatives looked at Mrs. Xie also changed completely.

Xie felt that these subversive gazes were like a pair of hands, and these hands that held her high in the past were about to pull her down from the unattainable altar at this moment.

"Treating an innocent little girl with such shameless tricks, is this the way Mrs. Xie claims to be a teacher!" Chang Kuo asked angrily.

This is also what the female relatives want to ask.

Apart from their anger, they felt even more shuddering.

A person with such prestige can both praise and destroy others with one sentence. If he has prestige without matching morality, wouldn't it be a disaster for them?
"I have never offended Mrs. Xie before." Chang Suining looked at Mrs. Xie with a stiff face, "Madam Xie's actions seem to be entrusted by others."

Xie's heart trembled.

While looking into the girl's eyes, she put her fingers trembling into her palms, and squeezed out a sneer from her teeth.
