The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 27 The Truth, Using the Water Drum

Hearing this, Dongqing frowned tightly, showing a slight panic, which was perfectly innocent.

"Your Excellency clearly understands, how could a servant girl do all this, I haven't even understood what you said just now."

The speaker is earnest, with the pity and cowardice of the low-ranking people, and it is a good picture of power over others.

Yu Qiansi is cold-hearted and will not be disturbed, and lists the clues discovered yesterday one by one.

"Not to mention the cotton thread and lamp oil everywhere in the fire scene. I also found black thread-like traces on the pile of stones pressed on the corpse.

The person who did all this first piled up all kinds of stones in the house by the window, and then dragged the corpse to the window.

Then, one end of the cotton thread soaked in kerosene was tied to the candle of the stone lampstand, and the other end was connected to a very unstable stone to fix it.Just time the candle to burn, when the cotton thread cannot be supported by the softened candle, it will slack.At that time, the stone will collapse and hit the corpse, creating the illusion that Yu Ren was accidentally crushed to death. "

Holly's face was pale, but she didn't give up, she asked desolately: "However, Hua Liao and I saw the silhouette of old butler Yu crouching in front of the table with our own eyes. If it is true as what your lord said just now, what is the shadow we see? ?”

Reasonable and well-founded, but this remark hit Yuqian's heart.

"You are very smart. Everything you used that night is flammable. If everything is as you imagined, I am afraid that it will be completely burned by the fire."

When Yuqiansi said this, his words were like the cold winter wind, and his voice was suddenly severe.

"But everything in the world, once done, will leave traces. It's like burnt cotton thread will leave black marks on the stone. That night, you used a piece of coal essence with a human silhouette to lean against the window, Then put a candle in the gap between the stones. Naturally, a person will be cast on the window as if working at a desk."

Yu Qian raised the half of the small black object, and everyone's eyes focused on it.

Boyi saw that it was the black thing that Yu Qiansi found in the house yesterday.

When the time comes, the stone is overturned, and the candle will ignite the kerosene on the ground when it falls to the ground.At that time, the combustible coal essence will naturally disappear without a trace in the fire.

"It's a pity that the material of this piece of coal is really too good. Because you called for someone by the window, the firefighters were naturally the first to pour water on the window. Therefore, it was not completely burned as you hoped."

Yu Qiansi continued: "Dongqing, aren't you a family child?"

Although it is speculation, there is no room for doubt.

Holly just kept her face cold and said nothing, she lowered her head in silence.

Yesterday when Yuqiansi saw the group of them leaving, she noticed the difference, and when Xiao Zhang brought people to show off, she suddenly realized where the difference was.

A wealthy family is most particular about appearances, Dongqing is so tall, if the family had a child, she would not follow the master's side to serve, after all, it seems that she is only a head taller than others, which is really unsightly.The mansion buys maids uniformly, and the prostitute will not send this kind of maids who are too tall to the mansion.

It can only be chosen by the owner.But that being the case, how could he not serve him personally, but just sweep in the courtyard?It was only three years ago that he was selected to serve the flowers and plants in the other garden.

Among them, there must be a story.

Seeing this, Suifeng stepped forward and replied: "I went to Beijing to check last night, and found that on the government's archives, both Dongqing's parents are from Zichuan, Henan Province."

Zichuan, that is the land of coal, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.The stature of the people there is indeed taller than others.

"Dongqing's parents were laborers in the mine, and they were buried alive in the ground due to an earthquake. They were rescued by the late Mrs. Hou, and they entered the Hou's mansion to serve them."

Coal essence is nothing more than a very hard and clear coal material, although it is not common, it is not expensive.But in places like Henan Province and Hebei Province, the common people have very little gold and silver, so they regard it as precious things, and there are occasional collectors.

"As I mentioned earlier, the person who set up this situation must see Yu Ren's death with his own eyes. But even if Madam assigns a maid to do it, the time is beyond control. Therefore, the person who set up this situation can only go there in person. In order to control the time when the fire is discovered.

Fortunately, there is an ice cellar in the hidden garden, and the flowers inside must be put back in the antechamber before the funeral.You have figured out the time, and you only need to wait for Madam to order someone to get it. No matter who this person is, even if she doesn't take the initiative to invite you, you can still ask to accompany him in the name of Deeper Lu Hei. "

After all, someone just died in the other garden, so the little girl would naturally panic when walking alone at night, and would not refuse to accompany her.

Every word and every sentence of Yuqian Si made sense, and everyone kept nodding.

Only as a discoverer in person, can you control the time spent on the road, whether it is fast or slow, and you can always arrive at the right time.But it is too risky to go alone, and it is foolproof to witness with others.

Looking at the maid named Dongqing at this time, she is still very pitiful, but everyone is no longer disgusted with Yu Qiansi's aggressiveness.

"Indeed, everything is as you expected. Everyone thought it was an accident." Yu Qiansi continued: "Until the Princess made a big fuss at the funeral and Guangzhi had to respond to the investigation, you will know that once the autopsy, Then you will find that the time of death is wrong. You can only find another way."

"Fortunately, the princess just mentioned it casually, letting you know that there are still people in the hidden garden in Haishi, so he thought of a clever plan to blame all this on Boyi who appeared in Haishi."

Seeing that Yu Qiansi finally got to the point, Lin Shen couldn't help being anxious.

"Then how did she do it? Suifeng almost failed yesterday, a weak woman like her can't imagine it."

Yu Qiansi pointed to the water pestle in the center of the pond, and said slowly.

"As a person who witnessed the fire at that time, you would naturally go back to the scene to fight the fire. As I said at the beginning, you may have used pond water like others. Then it became inaccurate to find the remark on the copper leak under the light of the fire. Well, it's not too difficult."

In other words, she had calculated the time to be an eyewitness, and when the fire was raging, she would subconsciously look at the time and find that it was even more inaccurate, and then she would realize the problem.

"And the premise of doing all this, I think, is that you must know that Yu Ren's real death time is around Haishi."

That's why he thought of blaming Boyi.

"You were exhausted from fighting the fire, so you were not arranged to go to the funeral. You can just use this time to rearrange the scene. Although there are two people outside who are guarding the hidden garden and worrying about the fire, they must be exhausted. Just find something to soothe your nerves." It’s not difficult to let them fall into a deep sleep for a while.”

Having said that, Yuqian looked at Dongqing wantonly.

Dongqing has put away her distressed look now, and just stares at Yu Qiansi indifferently, without saying a word.

But Lin Shen was still confused.

"Even if there was a mistake and we returned to Haishi. But the water in this pond remains the same, only one spoonful day and night. Where did she find so much water to raise the water level?"

Lin Shen looked at Dongqing. She was taller than ordinary people, but if the water in the pool was not deep, she would not be able to reach it even if she took a boat to row across.The water level has to rise, and her height can reach the giant spoon.

"But moving the boat is such a big commotion. I haven't found any boats that have been launched in the Hou Mansion in the past two days."

"Guang Zhi, you are wrong."

Yu Qiansi sighed softly: "You think she went by boat? Actually, it's not that complicated."

Yu Qiansi raised her hand and ordered Wu Yawei to start scooping water out of the pond.Lin Shen was impatient, so he also ordered the bad guys to help.

For a while, there was the sound of rushing water, but it made the garden even more quiet.

She didn't raise her voice, but her cold voice easily overwhelmed the noisy sound of water, and every single word was clearly heard by everyone.

"Actually, Holly's height is nearly seven feet. When I first met you, I wondered, why do you need so much pool water?"

Seeing that Yu Qiansi had mentioned the key point, everyone waited with bated breath.
