Chapter 239
Wanyue looked at Zhang Jiazhuyue and Wu Yayunhui coldly, but found that the expressions of the two were extremely calm, and there was no panic at all. Wuya Yunhui's face was more optimistic, while Zhang Jiazhuyue's eyes seemed to be Looking at Xiaohui from time to time.

This made Wanyue a little surprised, and her eyes unconsciously stayed on Zhang Jiazhuyue and Xiaohui.

After more than half an hour, the guards searched all the rooms of the boys and maids standing in the courtyard of the East Wing, but they did not find anything suspicious.

"My lord, the guards have searched, but they didn't find anything suspicious." Steward Yan shook his head and reported to Yinqi.

These words can't help but make Yinqi's face cold, and it also makes Wanyue a little unexpected. It seems that the poisoner hides really deeply, and no one notices a single omission. It seems that he must have a delicate mind man of.

Wanyue looked at Zhang Jiazhuyue carefully again, but Zhang Jiazhuyue happened to meet Wanyue's eyes. After a while, Zhang Jiazhuyue shook her head nervously, and lowered her head guiltily.

After Yinqi listened to Steward Yan's words, he glanced at the people below. He also thought about this decision for a while, but if he was not ruthless right now, the poisoner should have been fooled, so Yinqi had no choice but to go to The steward Yan beside him waved his hand.

"Take them all down with twenty sticks each."

After hearing this, Ying'er blinked at Wanyue, wanting to beg her master to intercede for her, but Wanyue shook her head at her, as if to signal her not to worry.

The guards were dragged out from the kitchen staff to take responsibility, and the maids were a little frightened, and Zhang Jiazhuyue also pretended to be scared, but she deliberately did not escape Wanyue's eyes.

Seeing that Yinqi didn't intend to make people stop, the five princesses were somewhat worried about their maid, Niu Hulu Xinyue begged: "My lord, just go around my maid, she won't do it." Something about murdering Tong Gege."

Yinqi couldn't help raising his eyes and glanced at her, before replying after a while: "You just believe that your slave is wronged? What if you don't know what she did?"

These words made Niu Hulu Xinyue choke, and she didn't dare to plead for her maid again.

Everyone nervously opened their eyes and looked at the person who was blamed. Facing this kind of innocent disaster, the person who was blamed was shouting desperately: "I am wronged, I am wronged, please forgive me, my lord."

But these begging for mercy did not make Yinqi as kind as before. To find out the poisoner, the innocent people must be punished slightly, otherwise the servants in the palace will be turned upside down in the future!

After the battle, the steward of the dining room and the three servants, and the guards in charge of beating sticks were already a little numb. Seeing that the rest were maids, the guards were a little embarrassed. The personal maids of the masters in the house, if they hit hard, they might offend some master, so the two guards who were in charge of the battle looked at each other at this time.

One of them reminded the other more carefully: "When beating those maidservants later, let's all be gentle, and don't offend those masters."

The other guard shook his head, and when he understood, the two looked at each other and nodded.

Zhang Jiazhuyue was standing next to the servants in the dining room, now that the servants in the dining room had finished their duties, it was naturally her turn.

Just as the guards were about to punish Zhang Jiazhuyue, she knelt down in panic. Everyone was taken aback by her actions, and Laperan was even more startled, and looked at Zhang Jiazhuyue with a puzzled face.

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Zhang Jiazhuyue began to exclaim, "Slave. Slave. Slave is going to report on Xiaohui. Slave saw Tong Gege's maid, Xiaohui, hiding something in the corner of the backyard of the East Wing."

As soon as this remark came out, Xiaohui was the first to panic. She immediately retorted loudly: "Sister Zhuyue, what are you doing to slander me on your platform? When did I hide something in the corner of the backyard!"

After Xiaohui said this, she still felt a little guilty, she didn't know where to put her hands, and she prayed that Zhang Jiazhuyue didn't really see the things she used to hide in the corner of the backyard.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jiazhuyue sneered at her, and Xiaohui felt even more numb.

"Can you swear that you really haven't hidden anything in the corner of the backyard?"

As soon as Zhang Jiazhuyue asked, Yin Qi winked at Butler Yan, who immediately led the two guards to the backyard of the East Wing.

Xiaohui gritted her teeth, determined not to admit it, even if Zhang Jiazhuyue really saw it, it wouldn't mean anything, if she was alone, those masters might not believe it all.

What's more, the things in the corner of the backyard must have been taken away by the jointers. Without evidence, they would punish her at most, and the punishment should not be too severe.

It's just that when everyone saw that Xiaohui refused to swear, they couldn't help feeling suspicious of her. Wu Yayunhui paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Tonggege's child is gone, so Xiaohui couldn't have done it? My God! Xiaohui Hui, she dare not swear!"

Xiaohui gritted her teeth and frowned slightly. She came here for her family. If she swears, they will definitely make her swear with her family. She simply doesn't want to reply. She will decide according to the situation after the two guards come back.

Yinqi squinted his eyes and looked at Xiaohui who dared not swear. Now it seems that she is the most suspicious point. The two guards who stood there looked at each other, hesitating whether this battle should continue , but after looking down at Wanyue and Yinqi, they suppressed the thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone was waiting for the results of the search led by Steward Yan. After the two guards carefully inspected the corner of the backyard of the east wing, they found that there was something strange about a brick in the corner.

There were cracks all around the brick. One of the guards moved the brick slightly, but found that the brick was loose. With a little force, the brick was pulled out.

"There's something in here." The guard yelled, and Steward Yan ran over quickly, reached out and took out the thing.

Unable to wait for a closer look, Steward Yan led the two guards back to the courtyard of the East Wing. The three of them bent down and made a respectful gesture towards Wanyue and Yinqi: "My lord, Fujin, I did find you in the corner of the backyard." thing."

After finishing speaking, Steward Yan handed the paper-wrapped thing to Yinqi, Xiaohui's heart tightened, the thing was obviously not something she let go, it was Zhang Jiazhuyue who deliberately framed her, she was in the corner of the wall earlier Zhang Jiazhuyue must have seen putting things down!
Before the paper was opened, Xiaohui also knelt down and argued: "Qi Wangye, Fujin, this thing is not mine, it must be Sister Zhuyue who slandered me, and the child in Tong Gege must have been poisoned by her!"

As Xiaohui said, she pointed at Zhang Jiazhuyue.
