Chang'an is good

Chapter 64 My suspicion is indeed great
The elephant slave knelt down in panic, almost unable to speak clearly: "It's the slave who overlooked... I didn't know that the god elephant was injured!"

Cui Jing said: "The idol was wounded in a hidden place on the neck, and the skin was pierced with a steel needle, so there is no eye-catching blood on the surface."

The medical officer stepped forward immediately, and the cotton towel in his hand was holding the steel needle taken out of the idol's body——

The hard and sharp steel needle was five inches long, and the needle was stained with blood, but it was pitch black.

"Your Majesty, the surface of this needle is poisonous. Because the idol is huge, the amount of poison is not fatal, but it is the root cause of the madness of the idol." The medical officer said.

It was strangely quiet all around.

Under the silence, there was a look of surprise in everyone's eyes.

Ming Luo's eyes changed a few times: "Your Majesty, according to this, someone secretly poisoned the idol and deliberately destroyed the blessing ceremony."

Looking at the steel needle, Emperor Shengji's eyes were extremely cold.

Deliberately destroying the blessing ceremony is aimed at her, the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the people behind this matter have ulterior motives, and we must find out as soon as possible!" Yao Yi said solemnly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Pei could hardly control a sneer from her lips.

If he is so eager to investigate this matter, whether it is for the public or private... He knows better than anyone else!
He just didn't want to see that little bitch almost got into trouble, and was anxious to vent his anger on that little bitch...

His husband really loves daughters very much!

"Is there still a need to check it?" Mrs. Pei stepped forward, her steps and demeanor were filled with the noble and proud air of a noble woman, she raised her hand, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's wife's family I have also raised elephants, so I am familiar with the habits of elephants, so I dare to say one more humble opinion-"

The Holy Book Emperor looked at her: "Madam Pei, but it's okay to say."

Pei closed her eyes, and said calmly: "Since the idol didn't have much manic reaction before, it just happened to be strange during the grand ceremony. It may not be because it happened to recognize the person who hurt it, so it took revenge."

Yao Yi looked at her and frowned almost imperceptibly.

There was a lot of discussion everywhere, and everyone's eyes, including the Holy Book Emperor, once again focused on the girl.

"Mrs. Pei, does it mean that I am the one who hurt the elephant?" Chang Suining asked calmly.

Just now she got rid of the ominous theory, and the charge of "revenge by the idol" is waiting for her—it has to be said that the other party's act of using the idol to hurt people this time is indeed well-prepared, anyway. She will not be allowed to escape easily.

Hearing the girl's straightforward question, Mrs. Pei didn't look sideways: "I didn't say that, but I just stated what I know and guess, so as to remind my family who is in charge of the case."

These words were just for outsiders to hear, Yao Yi would not believe a single word—and Mrs. Pei obviously didn't care whether he believed it or not.

In other words, she stood up at this time to torture him.

"Of course, you can't just rely on guesswork to handle the case, you still have to use the evidence to speak." Pei raised her chin slightly, turned to look at Yao Yi: "It's just that the matter of finding evidence is naturally still left to Governor Cui and my family. Lord's."

Looking at those eyes, Yao Yi inevitably had a strange guess in his heart.

But as Mr. Pei said, all guesses must be based on evidence——

He fixed a glance at Mrs. Pei: "Madam, don't worry, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust, and I will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom."

And to investigate the people who secretly hurt the idol, it is unavoidable to check who has been in contact with the idol since yesterday. According to the medical officer, judging from the wound, the needle has stayed in the idol's body for at least [-] minutes. overnight.

Elephant slave inevitably mentioned what happened yesterday when everyone watched the elephant in the temple: "... At that time, many young men and women came..."

Seeing that he wanted to look at him but didn't dare, with the mentality of not wanting to trouble others, Chang Suining took the initiative and said, "I was there yesterday."

Only then did Xiangnu dare to nod his head: "Yes...I remember."

After all, this lady was so beautiful and outstanding that it was hard to ignore it just by looking at her.

"And I have approached this bull elephant before." Chang Suining said again: "At that time it barked, but now that I think about it, it did seem to have suffered some sudden attack, and the divine elephant should have been injured at that time—I The suspicion is indeed great."

Xiang Nu nodded tremblingly again, and even looked at the girl who confessed in disbelief—what she said, it felt like she was about to confess her guilt directly!
Chang Suining didn't take it seriously—it's natural to speed up the process first when handling a case.

Meeting those honest eyes, both Yao Yi and Cui Jing were silent for a moment.

Chang Suining continued: "Maybe because of this, the idol remembered me and mistakenly thought that he was hurt by me at that time. When he saw me today, he took revenge."

Elephants are smart, but you can't expect them to be too smart.

Cui Jing looked at her: "Miss Chang meant that when you approached the idol, someone secretly attacked the idol, deliberately misleading the idol—"

"That's right, the reactions of animals can't lie, but people can make false appearances to deceive them." Chang Suining: "I think, if a person is good at kung fu, he should be able to prick a steel needle without getting too close. Into the body of the idol, right Governor Cui?"

Facing her non-questioning eyes, Cui Jing still nodded in accordance with her words: "Yes."

He is a general, if he wants to convince everyone at this juncture, he needs to nod.

And the young man's cooperation at this time fell in Ming Luo's eyes on the altar, and he felt it was extremely dazzling, and the unspeakable uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded.

"Although there is nothing wrong with it, in the final analysis, these are all conjectures of Mrs. Chang. As the saying goes, empty words have no basis, how can people believe them?" Pei asked in a low tone.

"I can testify for Sister Chang!"

Yao Xia's voice suddenly sounded.

The girl seemed to muster up the courage of the sky, and she stepped forward with the belief that "but the sister of the Chang family really needs me", stood beside Chang Suining, and faced the saint: "Your Majesty, when I was watching the phenomenon yesterday From the beginning to the end, the servant did not leave Madam Chang's side even an inch, even Madam Chang went to watch the elephant, and she was also invited by the courtier, and I can prove that Madam Chang is definitely not the one who hurts the elephant!"

She finished speaking in one breath, her nervous hands shaking.

But for the sake of sister Chang's family, she will stand up no matter how afraid she is!

She is sincere to sister Chang's family!

Yao Xia looked at Chang Suining beside her with burning eyes, trying to give her encouragement and confidence.

Chang Suining nodded slightly towards her.

I don't need it at all...but thanks anyway.

Yao Yi looked at his niece and said objectively: "A Xia's words can be used as evidence, but they cannot be decisive testimony."

And since there is a lack of conclusive evidence, it needs to be found.

At this time Cui Jing said: "Maybe you can go to the place where the elephants are kept in the temple to check for a while."

Yao Yi nodded, and when he was about to invite Cui Jing to investigate the clues, a voice sounded one step ahead of him: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has found a suspicious person by chance!"

It was a very loud voice.

The crowd looked at the sound.

Chang Suining also looked back.

The person who came was none other than Master Wujue, who was supposed to preside over the sacrificial affairs in the Heavenly Maiden Pagoda, wearing cassock.

Chang Suian was also here.

The young man was tall and tall, wearing a neat indigo narrow-sleeved round-neck gown, but there were several scratches and bruises on his resolute face, obviously he had just had a close fight with someone.

Together with him, two other monks escorted a strong man dressed as an ordinary servant.

Master Wujue's gaze first caught Chang Suining's place. He had obviously heard the general idea on the way here, and when he walked quickly, his expression was extremely sympathetic: "Oh, this unlucky baby is so pitiful...it's really Amitabha , Buddha bless you! Are you scared? You must be scared! Go back later and read a meditation mantra for you!"

Originally, if one is not done well, it may be necessary to recite the supernatural power!

Chang Suining: "..."

As an eminent monk, the image should not be too approachable.

Wujue sighed heavily, and said to the Holy Book Emperor: "Your Majesty, you have to decide for this poor baby!"

Saying that, he pointed to the rough servant who was being escorted by the monk: "Look, the evidence is all here!"

Emperor Shengji had long been accustomed to his appearance, so he only said at this moment: "Let's explain the whole story in detail first."

Wujue immediately said: "Your Majesty, this person's whereabouts are sneaky, intending to sneak into the Buddhist temple where the young lady of the Chang family lives, fortunately, he was discovered in time by the gentleman of the Chang family who happened to pass by. It took several people to take it down!"

The rough servant turned his head with a sullen face - bah, what a damn "passing by" and "accidentally discovered"!
What kind of ordinary monastery is that? It is clearly a net of ghosts!

It wasn't just the Mr. Chang family who was staring at him in the dark, even the monk Sansao, who looked so ordinary, was extremely skilled. He lost his broom and chanted Amitabha and started punching him!
Don't mention how painful it is!
"This person's whereabouts are strange, and we found this thing on him, which is very suspicious!" Chang Suian presented a porcelain bottle.

The Holy Book Emperor frowned slightly, motioning for the medical officer to come forward and check.

After the medical officer inspected it, his expression was slightly startled: "Your Majesty, the poison in this porcelain bottle and the poison that hurt the idol... are exactly the same kind!"

Yao Xia covered her mouth and exclaimed: "I understand, I understand completely! This person is carrying poison and intends to sneak into the Buddhist monastery where Sister Chang is while there is no one in the ceremony. It is clearly an act of framing! Attacking the idol The person who belonged to him must also be him!"

After finishing speaking, she was shocked—she didn't know where her quick wit came from!

And seeing how Uncle and the others looked at her in disbelief, they must have been completely awakened by her enlightening words!

Yao Yi: "..."

Regardless of the niece, he, Dali Siqing, will really be kept in the dark for a lifetime.

Yao Xia was inexplicably inspired by herself, and at this moment, she questioned the rough servant: "First, he misled the idol to take revenge on sister Chang's family, and then he framed and framed her, saying, who ordered you!"

There is a reason why Yao Yi didn't stop his niece from speaking.

It would be too early for this kind of firm doubt to come out of his mouth, but it is just right to come out of a child's mouth, and it is extremely conducive to exaggerating and promoting the atmosphere.

Sure enough, as the development of the situation became more and more unexpected, the discussions in the surrounding area gradually became louder.

Pei Shi silently clenched the ten fingers under the sleeves, and looked at the rough servant fixedly.

"The idol was indeed injured by me." The rough servant opened his mouth, straightened the corners of his mouth for a moment, but looked at Chang Kuo's father and daughter: "It was General Chang who ordered me. It's just that when things came to light, I thought Push me out to block all charges."

"What a joke!" Chang Kuo laughed instead of being angry: "Why did I instruct you to hurt the god elephant? What is my purpose? I can actually take the life of my own daughter as bait! With such absurd words, Do you really think that you can confuse the public and get away with it?"

"I'm just following orders." The rough servant's expression was strangely calm: "I'm just telling the truth as I know it. As for why General Chang went out of his way to ruin this blessing ceremony, I don't know."

"You say you don't know, but you have charged my father with deliberately destroying the blessing ceremony, which involves party disputes, and if you touch him, you will be doomed—" Chang Suining looked at him with some appreciation: " You are not an ordinary person who only works hard, but it is a pity that you followed the wrong master."

"You father and daughter, why bother shouting, 'Catch the thief,' and play a show here." The rough servant sneered, and insisted: "Everything I said is true!"

After he finished speaking, he straightened the corners of his mouth, and when his jaw moved slightly, he was knocked off his cheek by the sudden long sword.

"puff--"

The long sword was not out of its sheath, but it was extremely powerful. The rough servant turned his head and spat out a bloody fang that had been knocked out, and the poison hidden in his mouth that was about to bite through.

Cui Jing withdrew his sword: "Until you confess truthfully, you will not die."

The rough servant gritted his teeth, and spat out another mouthful of blood: "I'm telling the truth, I just don't want to be tortured before I die!"

"Take it down, strict interrogation." Cui Jing confessed to Yuan Xiang: "Take out the list of servants carried by each government this time, and verify them one by one. Be sure to find out the identity of this person."

"Yes!"

Under the hint of Emperor Shengji, Yu Zeng also confessed to a subordinate of Si Gongtai, and accompanied Yuan Xiang to investigate the matter.

"Wait, I remembered... I've seen this person before!" Suddenly a young boy's voice sounded.

Yao Yi looked and saw that it was his nephew Yao Gui who stood up.

Why are people from his Yao family who stood up today?

Cui Jing looked at the young man: "Do you recognize this person?"

"It's not that I recognize it, but I've seen it before!" Yao Gui said, "When I was observing the phenomenon yesterday, this person was indeed there!"

At that time, he felt that he had vaguely seen someone, but he just took a quick glance and couldn't see it clearly - he didn't remember until he stared at this person for a long time!
I also remembered: "I saw Aunt Ye who was next to my aunt at the back door of my house before, and I talked to this person!"

While the young man was speaking, he looked at Mrs. Pei and the maid beside him.

Yao Yi frowned suddenly.

Pei's complexion changed, and he said coldly: "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"

Why are they all idiots who make things difficult for her!
She and the Yao family might have clashed by fate!
"Nephew...nephew has indeed seen it." Facing those eyes that were always terrifying, Yao Gui said boldly, "Nephew just wanted to ask Aunt Ye if she knew the origin of this person..."

But why did the eldest aunt react so strongly?
"The servant girl doesn't recognize this person and has never seen this person before." The dowry woman beside Pei looked at him and said firmly: "Mr. Lang is probably delusional."

"It shouldn't be..." Yao Gui's voice trailed off, his heart filled with strange uncertainty.

What he wasn't sure about wasn't what he said, but... Did he touch something he shouldn't have touched?

In the next moment, his seemingly unrealistic conjecture was confirmed.

"You don't need to bother to investigate, Chief Cui, I know this person—"

This time it was the girl's slightly trembling voice that sounded.

　Ah, today's [-] words are also finished~
　　I'm hesitating about one thing, that is, I haven't washed my hair for a long time... I heard that I can't wash my hair and take a bath after the sun has passed, so I haven't dared to try it. Now the whole hair is no longer oily, but a damp state ………A question, have you washed it?
