Previously, Zhifan, also known as Sun Duoshou, testified that Zeng Ci asked him to find the jewelry repairman in Shaanhua Pavilion, and this was the man who came.
It's just that although many people recognize him, most don't know his name.
It was also from Sun Duoshou's mouth that I found out that his name was Titidagu.
Princess Zeng glared at Dagu and asked: "I can tell you, if you dare to slander my daughter, I will not forgive you lightly! If you tell me now who instigated you to slander my daughter, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you.
!”
Princess Zeng wanted to take a preemptive strike, but since the prince was away, she, as a mother, of course had to do her best to protect her children.
Tiandagu looked around without saying a word, but took out a brocade box from his arms.
Many of the people present have seen that box. It is a brocade box specially used to store jewelry in Shaanhua Pavilion. Almost every house has it.
"Princess Princess, you want me to tell the truth, I will never tell lies." After mentioning that Dagu is from Fan, his tongue was obviously stiff when he spoke, so his speaking speed was slower than ordinary people.
"But the villain also has a request."
"As long as you are willing to tell the truth, what is your request? Tell it and listen. As long as it is not too much, I will agree to it." The princess' expression softened significantly, and her tone was no longer so serious.
Tiandagu opened the brocade box, and inside was a pair of exquisite tourmaline earrings.
"My request is to ask the little county master to put this earring on first, and then I will talk about it." After mentioning Dagu, he raised the brocade box high above his head, holding it with both hands, motionless.
Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing why he made such a request.
Princess Zeng didn’t understand either and asked in confusion: “Why must Ah Ci wear these earrings?”
"Princess, the villain has said that as long as the little county princess wears this earring, the villain will tell the truth. Otherwise, I won't say anything." Titi Dagu insisted.
"Well," said the princess, "don't tease us."
Although she didn't understand why this foreigner had to let Zeng Ci wear earrings before talking.
But it's not a big deal, it's just a pair of earrings, and they usually wear jewelry from Shaanhuagezi.
Moreover, these earrings are very exquisite and not ugly at all.
But when she turned to look at Zeng Ci, she was stunned.
Because Zeng Ci looked frightened and very resistant.
"Aci, what's wrong with you?" The princess grabbed her daughter's hand and asked.
"Mom, I feel so uncomfortable, let's go home." Zeng Ci's face became very ugly.
"Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Let's leave now." Princess Zeng said in a low voice, "Today this matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter. Your reputation is important!"
"Mom, I... I have a stomachache." Zeng Ci covered her stomach and said with a pained face, "It really hurts."
"What? Are you panicking? You're pretending to be sick!" Lord Jiaming snorted coldly, "This method is too stupid, anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
"There is a doctor here. I'll ask him to take a look at you." Ke Wangchen, who had been standing nearby, said.
Zeng Ci looked at him with a complicated expression in his eyes.
She couldn't figure out what Ke Wangchen was thinking. Did he know the truth or not?
"Aci, is there something wrong with this pendant?" Zeng Nian didn't understand.
How could Zeng Ci tell her? He just said: "Mom, brother, sister, you have to believe me. They want to work together to plot against me. Let's go home!"
"How can we just go back like this? Don't people say that we have a guilty conscience?" Zeng Li felt that it was inappropriate to leave. "If you feel uncomfortable, just sit down first. Let Wang Chen call the doctor to check on you. If you can bear it, just bear with it for a while.
Tolerate."
Sure enough, the doctor came soon after. He often visited the county prince's house. Everyone in the Zeng family recognized him. He was an old doctor with high medical ethics and could be trusted.
He took Zeng Ci's pulse and said, "It's okay."
As a result, everyone can't help but be a little suspicious of Zeng Ci. Even though he has nothing to do, he insists on leaving. Isn't this a guilty conscience?
The princess' face was unavoidable, so she said to Zeng Ci: "Be obedient and put on these earrings."
But Zeng Ci shook her head desperately and said, "Mother, I don't want to wear it! This is all their conspiracy. There is poison in these earrings. If I wear them, I will die."
"Doctor Zhang is here, let him see if there is any poison in this earring." Prince Zhongqin said, "If he sees that there is no poison in it, you can wear it!"
Everyone felt that the prince was right, and besides, who would be so stupid as to poison someone openly in front of everyone?
But even though the doctor came over to take a closer look and said the earrings were non-toxic, Zeng Ci still refused to wear them no matter what.
"Aci, what's going on? Tell me clearly." Zeng Li was the first to notice something was wrong.
His tone was urgent, not because he wanted to blame his sister, but because he wanted to help her clear away the suspicion.
But Zeng Ci was clearly hiding something, and he couldn't help but become anxious.
"Aci, if you have anything to do, tell us first and we will help you think of something." Why wasn't Zeng Nian anxious?
But she still believed in her sister at this time, but she just felt that she might have something hidden that she didn't want people to know.
"Since you don't want to say it, I will say it for you." The Lord of Jiaming County looked proud, "Sun Duoshou, let me ask you, what did you say Zeng Ci asked you to find Dagu?
"
Sun Duoshou said: "The little county leader asked me to go find this fan and tell him that he wanted two more pairs of earrings. He also said that if he wanted medicine, he should go to the temple on the first day of the new year.
As for what kind of earrings and medicine they are, I don’t even know, and I don’t dare to ask any more questions.”
"Everyone, look at this earring. Who would think there is something wrong with it?" The Lord of Jiaming County ordered someone to show the earring to everyone, "If someone wrongly accuses you and you want to clear yourself of suspicion, the premise is to wear this earring.
A pair of earrings. I think no one would refuse if they were not guilty, right?
But the Lord of Qinxi County refuses to wear it even if he is alive, what does this mean?"
The scene was silent for a while. Of course, you must be cautious when speaking in such an occasion, so most of the people present remained spectators and did not speak.
Two county princes are facing each other, and it may not be good to favor one, especially before the truth is found out.
"When it comes to Dagu, tell me! Tell me everything you know carefully. No hiding is allowed." The head of Jiaming County ordered the pair of earrings back.
"The villain has said it, and I promise that what he said is true." Ti Dagu nodded, "The villain is from a foreign country. He made a living in Yuzhou in his early years. Later, he had to come to the capital because he offended someone.
When he was living on the street, he was almost caught by an official and imprisoned. It happened that the little county head of Yongxian County Prince's Mansion passed by and rescued the villain.
The villain is naturally grateful. Besides, the county owner has a noble status, so I asked her to help me find a place to make a living."
