The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 9 Acquittal
After listening to Lianzhu's speech, Xi Wanqing sneered in her heart: "This Lianzhu's mind is still a little bit meticulous, and her words are connected with each other, and she actually blocked any loopholes that could make her stand up."

Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion scolded angrily: "It's all nonsense, the Sixth Young Master didn't die from poisoning at all, but was smothered to death first, and then poured the poison of Seven Star Begonia."

"My lord, Six...Young Master was indeed poisoned to death after drinking tea at Miss Fifth's Ziyuexuan that day." Jingzhao Mansion Yin Zhi denied it, Lianzhu's eyes flickered, and his voice was a little weak.

Pa, Jingzhao Mansion Yin patted the gavel, thinking that he has been an official of the capital for many years, and he has seen many cases of slaves murdering their masters. According to Wu's verification, this maid is clearly lying.

"Bold servant girl, don't hesitate to recruit for the truth, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and blood. Just now, I have re-verified that the sixth young master did not die from the poison of the seven-star crabapple, but was suffocated to death."

Wu Zuo re-examined the autopsy just now, and San Yiniang saw it with her own eyes. If Yun Jie didn't die from the poison of the Seven Star Begonia, then he must have been smothered to death by the girl Lian Zhu. , who is fifteen or sixteen years old, but Yunjie is ten years old, so she has every opportunity and strength to kill Yunjie.

Third Yiniang stared fiercely at Lianzhu with eyes that seemed to have been poisoned, wishing to immediately peel off her skin and stretch her tendons.

Being stared at by the third aunt like this, Lianzhu only felt her scalp go numb, and she couldn't help but want to tremble all over. The reason why she was so fearless before was because Xi Wanqing was known to be a brainless fool. With the people behind her behind the scenes, how could she be afraid of a mindless idiot? Even if Mr. Fu Yin doubts her, he can't do anything to her if he can't find any evidence. This third aunt is different. If the third aunt If you suspect her, go back to the Hou Mansion and kill her for any reason.

Lianzhu thought to herself, she would surely die if she recruited, as long as she survived this test and helped him complete this matter, she would be the aunt of An Guohou's mansion in the future.

Gritting her teeth, Lianzhu kowtowed vigorously to the ground: "Please be aware, my lord, that this servant has never done anything to murder the master."

Xi Wanqing knew that if she interrogated like this, she might not even try to get anything out of Lianzhu's mouth until dark.

"Master Fu Yin, this is about my daughter's life and death, can I allow my daughter to ask a question or two?"

Xi Wanqing's words were sincere. Although Jingzhao Fu Yin was a little annoyed that she had held him hostage, he had never hurt him so far. He saw Xi Wanqing's good behavior just now, and now he wished to solve the case sooner. , get out early.

"Fifth Miss, please."

Xi Bojian on the side was very quiet at the moment, Xi Wanqing's performance today was a life-saving act in his eyes.

Xi Wanqing stared at Lian Zhu coldly, expressionless: "You said that the sixth younger brother was poisoned to death after drinking tea at Zi Yue Xuan?"

Lian Zhu buried her head and replied, "Yes, Miss Fifth."

"I remember that just after lunch that day, the sixth younger brother came to Ziyuexuan and said that he smelled the aroma of my tea and his mouth was a little dry, so he wanted a bowl of tea." Xi Wanqing seemed to be chatting with Lianzhu about family affairs.

"Yes, the Sixth Young Master said to go to the garden that day just after lunch, and Zi Yuexuan, who passed by Sixth Miss, happened to have a dry mouth and went to ask for tea. The servant girl was also there." Lianzhu said carefully according to the situation that day over again.

"Did the sixth brother die from the poison immediately after eating tea at Ziyuexuan, without eating anything?" Xi Wanqing stared at Lianzhu with innocent and idiot eyes.

Lianzhu was secretly complacent, this Fifth Miss was really stupid, whoever said she was just lacking in talent and morality, she was clearly so stupid, she made it clear that she blamed herself.

"Yes, Fifth Miss, the cook can attest to that."

"You're lying." Suddenly, Xi Wanqing's words changed sharply.

Everyone didn't understand, so Yin of Jingzhao Mansion said: "Miss Fifth, what do you say?"

Xi Wanqing looked at Wu Zuo: "Wu Zuo, tell your lord how long it has been since the Sixth Young Master died, and when did he die?"

Wu Zuo replied truthfully to Jingzhao Mansion Yin: "My lord, the Sixth Young Master has been dead for about 28 hours, and the estimated time of death should be the end of the day when the incident happened."

Xi Wanqing continued to explain: "The Seven Star Begonia is extremely poisonous, and the poisoned person will die in half a stick of incense, and the tea that the sixth brother ate at Ziyuexuan at noon that day, went back immediately after eating the tea, if It was really my poison, the time when the sixth brother was poisoned should be at noon, but the time of death was Weishi, Lianzhu, you told everyone that the sixth brother was poisoned and died after Weishi."

Xi Wanqing glanced at Lian Zhu meaningfully, and continued: "The time is not right, did someone take advantage of the time when the sixth brother was asleep, suffocate the sixth brother to death without knowing it, and then put Qi Xing Haitang's venom has poured into his body."

The truth of the whole case has been laid out on the bright side, and Lianzhu also personally admitted that Xiyunjie had indeed eaten Ziyuexuan's tea at noon, so Xiwanqing stopped talking, and I believe that the governor of Jingzhao also Time to know how to handle this.

"Bold servant girl, to deceive the official and the Marquis again and again, not only murdering the young master, but also framing the young lady of the mansion, the crime is unforgivable." Jingzhao Mansion Yin once again scolded Lianzhu angrily.

Seeing the truth revealed, Lianzhu was so frightened that she trembled all over, kowtowing repeatedly to beg for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life."

The governor of Jingzhao government ignored Lianzhu for the time being. In view of his own safety, he had to clear Xi Wanqing's charges first, so he turned to the people who watched the fun and said, "Miss Wu is really innocent, and I will acquit you today." freed."

As soon as Jingzhao Mansion Yin finished announcing, Xi Wanqing immediately took off the hairpin in his hand, and apologized to Jingzhao Mansion Yin: "Master Fu Yin, my daughter offended me just now, I apologize to you here, I hope you will forgive me a lot. "

Jingzhao Mansion Yin loosened his neck and smiled slightly, as if he was relieved: "Fifth Miss is really helpless. If it weren't for Fifth Miss's actions, I am afraid that I would have killed my life in vain today."

In the private room of the restaurant, Gong Xingyan didn't show much surprise when he heard that Xi Wanqing was acquitted. Ever since he saw this girl for the first time, the outcome of the matter was already in his expectation.

Continuing to drink wine lazily, that action was so damn charming that Lei Jian almost blinked his eyes: "Would my master be so evil, he is a man, and he will be dazzled."

In another private room, the young woman cursed with hatred in her eyes, "You actually let that damn bitch escape this disaster."

The common people who watched the excitement under the execution ground cheered: "Your Majesty Fu Yin is really discerning, and cleared away Miss Fifth's grievances."

"Yeah, let me just say, this fifth young lady doesn't look like that kind of vicious person." Several people whispered and discussed, the people are the people, whichever way the wind blows, they will fall in that direction.
