The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 26 The truth, the man who did it all

Compared with seeing someone being crushed to death and then starting a fire, compared with being found on fire and then discovering the body, it is naturally the former that can produce an alibi.

If someone saw with their own eyes that the housekeeper was still "alive" before and another fire broke out, it would be an accident, and no one would investigate the cause of death.If the princess really did all this, how would she know when the madam would send someone to fetch the things, and why bother shouting "there is a problem with the butler's death" in front of everyone. Isn't this attracting people to investigate the scene and investigate the corpse?
All eyes turned to Xiao Zhang's face, Xiao Zhang was a little nervous, but not panicked at all.

Desolately said: "Naturally, she found that there might be something wrong with my mother's death, and she wanted to make a big mess and let the government investigate my mother's death. So she portrayed me as a murderous, ruthless woman, which is disgusting. Unexpectedly There is something wrong with the mother's death. Her actions surprised the real culprit and made Cui Zhu commit suicide in fear of crime."

Are you really addicted to acting?It is said that the wind is the talent of the rain, and it would be a waste of talent not to go to the opera troupe to sing big plays.

The unscrupulous people who had just left Nan'an County came back covered in dirt, holding a bundle in their arms.

Seeing that it was the familiar brocade with black stripes on a blue background, Mrs. Zhang was a little relieved, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly in triumph.

"My lords. The little ones did dig a bag, but it wasn't in Fengting Garden, but in Lanche Garden."

The smile on Xiao Zhang's lips disappeared.

How can it be!

Yuqian looked at her surprised appearance, and the corners of her lips curled up in a sarcasm, letting Wuyawei take over the burden and put it away for now.

I still didn’t forget to joke: “Oh, I’m really nervous, did I go to the wrong place? Still think that the most dangerous place is the safest place?”

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that things were not in Fengtingyuan, so she panicked for a moment, but fortunately, this is not a big deal, and it can be resolved.He was about to wink at Hui Li, but was preempted by Yu Qian Si.

"Actually, Madam's story about the lover just now is very reasonable. It doesn't matter if the stolen goods are in Fengtingyuan or not."

Seeing that she actually spoke for her, Mrs. Zhang panicked.A little more panic about the weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings.

Yuqiansi didn't realize it at all, and just continued: "And we did find half of the rope on the copper leak. But it's a pity, there is a huge mistake in it. This mistake is enough to prove that the one who does everything is not The princess's so-called 'lover' is not the princess, not this servant, and not even Cuizhu."

Seeing her rejecting so many people in a row, everyone became puzzled.If it wasn't these people, who else could it be?

On the other hand, Boyi, seeing Yuqian's slender chest and Luo Jinxiu, thought she was extraordinarily dazzling, but he was also suffocated by her mouthful of "Princess Lover".

She definitely did it on purpose.

Seeing that everyone held their breaths waiting for her to reveal the truth, she first ordered some Huichen that was still kneeling on the ground, and fixedly stared at Mrs. Zhang with a smile in the corner of her eyes and calmly.

"First, kill this idiot who wasted my time and lied to me again and again."

It turned out that he just asked the Marquis's mansion and directly used lynching.

Wu Yawei tortured, within a few strokes, the screaming suddenly died away, Hui Li's seven orifices were bleeding, he was dead.

But Mrs. Zhang was so frightened by Yu Qiansi's words just now that she seemed to be strangled by someone's neck. She only felt that Ling Lie, who was smiling, spun around her neck, as if the next one to die would be It should be me.

Before everyone came back to their senses, Yu Qiansi changed the subject again, and turned to ask Lin Shen: "When you came back from the funeral, did you also hear the bell at Maoshi?"

Everyone was dragged away by her quick topic change, and had no time to think about her abuse of lynching.

Zuo is just a cheap slave who eats inside and outside, and no one cares.Right now, this treacherous case is more important.

"That's right," Lin Shen said without hesitation, "Not only us, but everyone in Nan'an County should have heard it."

as usual.

As it was yesterday, so it is today.

Hearing this, Yuqian's eyes were full of brilliance, and the smile on her face finally faded from falsehood, and it reached her eyes, her whole body seemed to light up instantly, so dazzling that people couldn't help but look at her. Can accommodate her.

The pear vortex is a little deep, and it seems that the lake is rippling in the spring. It makes people feel warm all over the body just by looking at it, forgetting the troubles of the world, and laughing unconsciously.

It turned out that she smiled sincerely, so touching.

She is as indifferent as a bird in the distant mountains, but her words are startled.

"If the murderer is really the lover of the princess, then you will never hear the bell on time. It was the same the day before yesterday, it was the same yesterday, and it is the same today."

There are two reasons.

"First, there is a fire in the hidden garden. There is such a big pond and so much water. If you come to fight the fire, will you use the pond water locally, or go to other places to collect water?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and some servants also reacted.Someone did use pond water to fight the fire that night.At the beginning, you can catch water by just fishing.But going back and forth like this, the water level dropped rapidly, and even if they stretched out their hands by the pond, they couldn't get any water, so they gave up.

Looking into the pond again, it really isn't right!Why is the water level the same as usual?Even if no one used water that night, just because the fire evaporated, it shouldn't be so deep.

But what does this have to do with the murderer?

"Secondly, and most importantly."

Yu Qiansi walked to the central axis between the house and the pond with her hands behind her back, raised her finger and pointed to the withered, yellow and gray pergola on the pond.

"The pergola has been burnt into disrepair, not to mention the copper water reed, which is easy to absorb heat?"

Naturally, it should also be affected by the fire that night.

That night, the fire suddenly followed the wind, and the whole hidden garden seemed to have fallen into a stove, and the air was steaming, making it hard to breathe.

Lin Shen understood, and suddenly his heart beat faster.

"That is to say, after the fire, the water in the giant spoon will definitely evaporate a lot, but the amount of water entering the rockery is constant. No matter what, it is impossible for us to hear the exact bell strike at Mao Voice!"

unless
The result is self-evident -

Unless, someone added water to it, just to make the time accurate.

Yu Qiansi surpassed everyone one by one.

"Just to ask, if the princess's lover really used Genglou to create a fire, even if all the cotton threads on the Genglou were burned, there would be traces left. Even if the Princess is trying to blame his wife, he will never let Genglou return to normal. Bar?"

Therefore, only if it is more inaccurate will it be beneficial to the lover.

If the time is chaotic, the time scale on the more omissions will no longer be absolutely referenceable. Naturally, it is impossible to determine whether the real Haishi was hung with a cotton thread, or it was hung after the time was inaccurate to confuse the public.

At that time, if the princess makes trouble again, he will kill two birds with one stone.

"And the purpose of the person who really did all this was to put the blame on the person who appeared in the Yin Garden in Haishi. Therefore, when he found out that the time was inaccurate, he naturally had to do everything possible to make the time accurate."

The more Xiao Zhang listened, the more flustered she became, and she always felt that things were uncontrollably deviating from her expectations, like a spider web wrapped her tightly, layer after layer, overlapping and heavy, making her unable to breathe.

She didn't want to die in the net, so she trembled uncontrollably, struggled and said back: "You said so much, it's not this or that. But there is no foothold in this pond, even if you swim across, such a tall copper If you want to reach the giant spoon, you have to climb the horizontal bar. How did the murderer climb up the horizontal bar to fill up the water without triggering the bell? Could it be that he flew over?"

Speaking of this, the voice was high-pitched, with a lot of bitterness.

Yuqiansi seemed to have heard a big joke.

He sneered and said, "Ma'am, your brain is not working well, didn't you think that you also have problems with your ears? You keep saying 'murderer, murderer', what I just said, did you mention the murderer in half a word?"

Mrs. Zhang was so excited by Yu Qiansi's harsh words that she was about to lose her mind, and only heard the first half of the sentence.

In the past in the back house, even if there was a confrontation with others, it was just a few stabs in the words. How have I seen such merciless and straightforward curses.

But everyone present clearly heard the second half of the sentence clearly.

Isn't the person who did all this a murderer?
Lin Shen really scratched the itch in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Then who is the person who did all this?"

Yuqian raised her right hand all the way, and Yuli Qiankun made a "ding dong".

"The person who has done all this is Holly."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone's eyes fell on the maid who was hidden among the maids and bent slightly, but was still half a head taller than others.

Even Wutong, who had been in a daze, still immersed in the pain of her mother's death, turned her head and looked at the past in disbelief.

Waiting to see what Qing Yuqiansi pointed at, the human voice exploded like thunder and sinking ponds, and splashed circles of water, which lasted for a long time.

This servant girl, apart from being taller, looks as thin as other people, how could she do so much?
