Chapter 147: The trouble is eliminated by cleverly forcing a confession
"Here."
"This place is hard, so it should be."
The two palace maids groped for a long time and each found the place where they thought the note was hidden.
"There are scissors on the table, you can cut them and take a look." Liang Jing always treated the people below him with a cold face.
What's more, these two palace maids had their own ulterior motives. Seeing him like this, their hands holding the scissors couldn't help but tremble.
I finally cut it open, but found that there was no paper inside. The hard part was just cotton gathered in one place, and there were threads passing through it, which made it appear hard.
"This...this...isn't because the manager just said that there is a note here." Huang Ying argued with a smile, "How could we doubt your words?"
"Then take a look and see if there is a note inside this one?" Liang Jing said and ordered someone to bring in another one.
The two men touched for a long time and shook their heads: "I didn't find it."
Liang Jing stepped forward, took the scissors, cut the cuffs of his robe, and pulled out the note from the cotton wool.
Then he didn't question these two people, he just let them go down.
"What should I do? Manager Liang must have noticed it." Huang Ying said in a panic.
"Why are you panicking? Don't we still have the support of the Sixth Prince and Concubine?" Bai Ling tried to appease her.
"Then what if the Sixth Princess refuses to admit her fault and throws us out?" Huang Ying said angrily, "I should not have flowed into this muddy water if I had known earlier."
"It's useless to say all this now. We have to find a way quickly." Bailing has more ideas than Huangying.
"What can be done? The Sixth Princess is not in the palace, and water from far away cannot quench her thirst." Huang Ying was about to cry, "How about we go back and ask Manager Liang?"
"Of course Mr. Liang won't make things difficult for the princess, but he will most likely take action on us." Bai Ling stopped her, "Listen to me, call your best friend, and take advantage of the dark..."
No one brought Xue Hengzhao dinner. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold in the house and she had bedding.
There was a change of guard in the middle, and there were no lights in the room, so it was pitch black.
At midnight, the door was gently pushed open, and a dark figure walked in.
He tiptoed to the bedside, reached out and grabbed the person on the bed by the neck.
He expected there would be a struggle, but he didn't expect the man to be so strong.
She grabbed his wrist and flipped him over, throwing him to the ground.
The man's knees pressed against his chest. He couldn't breathe, and stars were popping up in front of his eyes.
"Light up!" shouted, and the lights turned on.
Only then did the man realize that the person pressing him was none other than Liang Jing!
"If you dare to tell a lie, I will peel off your skin." Liang Jing stood up and kicked him again.
This person is the eunuch in charge of Ronghua Palace. He is as afraid of Liang Jing as a mouse is when it sees a cat.
Now that I have been caught, how dare I hide it?
He explained truthfully: "It was Huang Ying who begged the younger one. She changed shifts and came here to guard her. She came in in the middle of the night and strangled the palace maid to death."
What he didn't know was that Xue Hengzhao had already been moved to another place.
Then Huang Ying and Bai Ling were also brought here. They did not dare to quibble anymore and directly said that they were under Yao Wanyi's instructions.
It turns out that Yao Wanyi found Bai Ling first and promised her a lot of benefits.
Yao Wanyi's identity is there, and Bai Ling himself does not dare to offend him.
What's more, he gave himself so many benefits, and in the end, he just wanted to frame a little palace maid of Furong Palace.
She also told Huang Ying, who was usually close to her, by the way.
Then Yao Wanyi asked someone to imitate Xue Hengzhao's handwriting and wrote many rebellious verses on it.
When Furong Palace handed over the winter clothes, they pretended to find counter-poems in them and completed the frame-up.
I originally thought that this matter would be accomplished smoothly, but I didn’t expect that Liang Jing became suspicious of them.
They naturally thought of killing someone to silence them, and then pretending to commit suicide out of fear of crime.
What if Liang Jing sees the flaw?
People can't be resurrected after death, and they can't make the matter really big, so in the end they have no choice but to let it go.
Moreover, Yao Wanyi originally had such a plan. She had said before that this matter must be resolved quickly, and the person named Xue should not be given a chance to argue.
"I will not pursue this matter further," Liang Jing looked at the three of them and said, "But you must understand that our master is only the Queen.
If this matter really gets serious and the dignity of the Queen is damaged, can you afford it?
The county master is acting recklessly at a young age, and in order to please her, you ignore the overall situation. Is this the duty of a slave?"
Those few people were so scolded by him that they didn't dare to raise their heads and just kept admitting their mistakes.
"But there must be an explanation for this matter in the end," Liang Jing took a sip of tea and added, "From now on, there can only be one explanation for this matter. If anyone can't keep their mouth shut, don't blame me for being cruel."
Liang Jing went to see the queen and told the truth.
The queen frowned and said: "This kid Wan Yi is really naughty! It was me who spoiled her."
"The county master must have been taken advantage of. Catching this little palace maid is not the most important thing. Using this to make a fuss about dragging Concubine Fu and others into trouble is the real purpose." Liang Jing said.
"Concubine Lafu is in the water?" The queen seemed to have some realization, "Are you trying to muddy the water?"
"Your Majesty," Liang Jing said, "now that you are firmly seated in the back seat, the palace is peaceful.
Naturally, some people can't bear to see such a scene, so they try to stir up trouble. After all, only when the water is muddy can we take advantage of the opportunity to fish."
Xue Hengzhao and Liang Jing analyzed the situation and felt that someone else was stirring up trouble behind Yao Wanyi's troubles.
And this person is most likely the person who instigated Liu Hu to destroy the Fengyujian.
Fengyujian is directly related to Wuliang's loss of power and Qingque's rise.
Liang Jing has been investigating secretly, but he has no clue yet.
Because this matter was of great importance, the queen ignored Xue Hengzhao, a little palace maid.
Just pretend that she is unlucky enough to be chosen, after all, her identity is more likely to be framed successfully.
The next day, the Hanyi case came to a conclusion.
It was a husband and daughter from Suxin Palace who felt resentful and wrote anti-poems and sewed them into her cold clothes.
When delivering clothes, they were deliberately mixed with clothes from other palaces, so they started arresting the wrong people.
The old palace maid has confessed her crime, and the matter is over.
Xue Hengzhao returned to Furong Palace safe and sound, but she knew that the matter was far from over.
Yao Wanyi was called to the palace by the queen and scolded her, telling her not to do anything secretly in the future.
Yao Wanyi was naturally unwilling, and even more unwilling than her was Ma Feiyan.
The original plan was to frame Xue Hengzhao and then shift the responsibility to Fu Fei.
In this case, Fu Fei will most likely be banned, and Lan Ning will not be able to enter the palace.
Then find a way to get the fifth prince out of the capital, so that when Lan Ning gives birth, you can do something about it.
She was determined to avenge her dead son, and even swore a poisonous oath.
They didn't succeed this time, but they still didn't give up.
Yao Wanyi did not dare to do anything else for the time being. She was afraid that she would really anger the queen and lose her favor.
Ma Feiyan was not implicated and went back to thinking about the next step.
