Listening to the two people arguing, He Guangshi didn't know who to trust. At this moment, Su suddenly showed a hint of joy, took an oil lamp and looked at the ground carefully, and then said: "Father, look, this
There is sand all over the ground. Their sandbags must have broken and accidentally spilled it. As long as you follow them, you will definitely be able to find the sand they hid."
After taking a closer look by the candlelight, Guanshi He found that there was indeed a lot of sand on the ground, and immediately said: "Okay, follow me immediately and take a look."
This time, Chen Yingke was not as calm as before. Damn it, this sandbag was leaking sooner or later, but why did it leak just now? Once they find the sandbag, they will be in big trouble.
No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't say anything to stop them at this time. He had no choice but to follow them along the sand to the outside of a house.
Manager He's eyes flashed and he said: "Chen Ying, if we remember correctly, you will live here, right?"
Chen Yingqiang calmly said: "Yes, I live here, but I am not the only one who lives here. Do you think so?"
Manager He snorted coldly and said to the supervisors walking in front: "Go in!"
The supervisor responded and immediately opened the door and entered, startling the sleeping people inside. When he saw Gu Guan He, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He quickly put on his clothes and stood up, calling out respectfully, "
What's the matter?"
Guanshi He had no time to pay attention to them, so he ordered the supervisor to hold a lamp and take a closer look. Finally, along the scattered sand, he found three bags of sand from under the bed. One of the bags had a hole, which is where the sand was scattered.
"Chen Ying, what else do you have to say?!" Faced with Steward He's harsh words, Chen Ying quickly knelt down and said, "If Steward He really doesn't care about me, I don't know why there are sandbags there.
here."
Su said angrily: "Father, he is obviously telling lies with his eyes open. I remember clearly that it was him and the other two people."
Manager He pondered for a moment and said, "Are the other two people here too? If so, please point them out to us."
"Yes." Except for Chen Ying's voice, Su never knew the identities of the other two people. However, she knew that the eunuchs who were good friends with Chen Ying happened to be here.
Su's eyes swept over a dozen unfamiliar faces, and soon fell on three of them. All three of them were close to Chen Ying, and among these three, two of them had expressions on their faces.
They were relatively panicked and looked at Chen Ying from time to time. When they found Su staring at them, they quickly looked away.
Mrs. Su saw all this in her eyes, gritted her teeth, raised her fingers and pointed at these two people and said: "Father-in-law, they are the people who came here with Chen Ying. It is the three of them who want my life."
The two men waved their hands hurriedly and said, "No, we haven't done anything. Eunuch He, we were wronged!"
Before they finished speaking, Su said: "Father, all the witnesses and material evidence are there, can there be any falsehoods? I beg you to seek justice for me and the dead Ying'er."
Manager He frowned and said nothing. Although the Su family identified it personally and found the sandbags, Chen Ying's motive for murdering the Su family has never been found, so he did not dare to make an assertion lightly. After thinking for a long time, he said: "This matter has nothing to do with it.
Let’s stop here and wait until our family reports to the imperial concubine tomorrow before we make a final decision.”
Hearing Xiayue's name, Su's pupils shrank, but she didn't say anything. She bowed and agreed with Chen Ying and others. That night, she finally slept for the first time in so many days, because she knew that Chen Ying
After Ying's affair was revealed, she would never have the guts to cause trouble for her again, unless Chen Ying and others were willing to risk their lives.
The next morning, after Xianyue sent Hongli off to court, she felt sleepy and was about to sleep for a while when Zhichun came in and said, "Master, where can I ask for an audience with the manager of Xinzheku?"
Xianyue said in surprise: "Why did he come to see me?" Xinzheku is different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is the lowest level of the Forbidden City. Except for the errands that should be done, there is little interaction with the masters in the palace.
"I don't know, but he said he has something important to report." After saying this, Zhichun added: "If the master doesn't have the energy to see him, I will send him back first and come back later."
Xianyue thought for a moment and said, "No need, let him come in."
Zhichun retreated as she was told, and not long after, Hefang appeared in Xianyue's sight. The latter stepped forward in fear and said, "I want to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine, may you be blessed!"
"Without courtesy." After He Fang got up, Xianyue said, "What do you mean you came to see me so early?"
He Fang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly told what happened last night, and then said: "It's a matter of human life, and I don't dare to take it lightly, so I came here to ask for instructions from the empress." He quietly glanced at Xianyue and said, "However, Su
The words were affirmative, and sandbags were found in the house of Chen Ying and others, and Ying'er died suddenly for no reason. The servant felt that there should be no lie in this matter."
Zhichun interjected: "The Su family you are talking about is a pure concubine who was deposed by the emperor?"
He Fang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, it is exactly what the girl said."
Xianyue frowned slightly and said, "Do you know why Chen Ying wanted to harm the Su family?"
"This slave is also struggling with this. Chen Ying is usually dishonest, but he has never harmed anyone. He has nothing to do with the Su family. I really don't understand why he would do this."
Xianyue said: "Tell me everything you know about Chen Ying in detail. The more detailed the better."
He Fang Yiyan recalled Chen Ying's story, but what he knew was really limited. Those same things were repeated over and over again. After hearing it twice, Xianyue raised her hand to interrupt him, and then said to A Luo: "You
Go to Xinzheku and inquire about Chen Ying carefully. Also..." She hesitated for a moment and said, "Call Su to see me."
After A Luo left, Xianyue glanced around and said, "Where's Xia Qing? Is she still hiding in the house and refusing to come out?"
"She...she..." Qi Kuan didn't know how to answer for a while. After a while, he said helplessly: "Yes, I won't come out and see people." After saying this, he thought for a while and said: "How about you?
Is this slave going to bring Xia Qing here?"
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "No need, let her go."
Zhichun curled her lips and said: "She is really strange. I don't know why she is angry. The master doesn't want Wei Jingxuan to escape, but she blames him entirely."
"It's no wonder that her whole family was harmed by Wei Jingxuan. If it weren't for that hatred supporting her, she wouldn't be able to survive now."
"She is pitiful, but who can be blamed? If she hadn't been ignorant of people, would she have ended up in this situation? If she really has to blame, she should blame herself."
