Chapter 28 The truth, the murderer is someone else
"Because, you have to cover the path you walked across the pond."
Several bad guys went into battle together, and after a while, the water surface dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a lot of light white stones were revealed again, like grass-colored stone paths, and several of them were connected in a line, heading straight towards
The water bank twisted away.
Surprises came and went, but he instantly understood what Yu Qiansi said.
The garden is filled with all kinds of stones, long, short, square, and round. Just find some long ones and put them into the water, then dig them deeply into the mud at the bottom of the pond to pave a path. Change any body
Anyone with enough weight can walk over and tie the rope without any effort.
If time is insufficient, you can also use fire to burn the giant spoon to allow more water to evaporate. If the giant spoon moves slowly, the leakage can naturally be transferred to Hai hour easily.
"I think if the water in this pond has evaporated in the fire, it will definitely leave water marks inside the giant spoon. If you don't believe it, you can order someone to go to the pond and press down the giant spoon to find out."
"But." A little maid held up the pressure and mustered up the courage to argue: "I saw Holly during Haishi."
It seems that Dongqing gets along well with everyone in the house, and now there are still people speaking for her.
"enough!"
When Dongqing heard this, she interrupted in a cold voice: "My lord is right, everything is correct. That's what I did. Let them fall asleep first, and then use the water in the pool and the fire in my hand to adjust the time.
At Hai hour, after tying the rope, I added enough water to the giant spoon to bring it back to the correct time. When I returned, I kicked the stones in the pool askew to make them less noticeable, and then covered them again.
Water. Then everything will be fine."
"Cover the water?"
Lin Shen finally understood what Yu Qiansi meant, but he was still puzzled: "Where did you find so much water?"
Yu Qiansi glanced at him and said angrily: "Didn't you notice that there are so many splash tubes and water dragons in the yard? Since we have sent people to guard them and are worried about re-ignition, they must be filled with water. But you
When you came here yesterday, did you see any water inside?"
Lin Shen slapped his forehead: "Oh! Yes!"
If all that water is poured into the pond, it will definitely be enough, and there will even be some more.
But new questions emerged.
"In this case, wouldn't the guarding boy find that the water dragon is empty?"
Yu Qiansi stood on the small piece of dark grass, stepped on it lightly, and said, "So, she set off a small fire before leaving."
Not only did they set a fire, but they also left a small piece of burned cotton thread on the grass, deliberately leading the explorers to the water bank.
When Mao hour comes, the bell wakes up the two sleeping boys, and they will find that there is another fire in the yard. But if the people above discover that they have neglected their duties and fell asleep, and let the fire start again, wait
It will only be punishment.
Therefore, the two of them must have extinguished the fire with the remaining water in the splash tube in a hurry, and kept silent. Even if they discovered something suspicious, they would not explain it.
The two boys guarding the door quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Their confessions were almost the same as what Yu Qiansi said.
"You are right," Dongqing raised her head and looked fearless, like a general returning victoriously: "I am the murderer."
Yu Qiansi curled her lips, smiling but saying nothing, but her eyes were cold.
She hates people interrupting her the most.
But now that she admits it, it saves her a lot of talk.
Still with a clear smile, he ordered: "Okay, then we will take down Dongqing and hold her in custody pending trial for the crime of murdering the imperial decree!"
The tone of voice is gentle, as if you are chatting with someone about "the weather is nice today".
What?
Everyone present, every one of them, was frightened and fell backwards.
What is the murder of imperial decree? She was also responsible for the death of the old lady?
Yu Qiansi spread his hands and said, "I just said, 'the person who did all this,' but I didn't say that the person who did all this is the murderer."
"Is there someone else who killed Butler Yu?"
When Boyi saw the truth, he couldn't help but ask.
Yu Qiansi nodded and smiled, then turned to Fuquan and asked.
"That night, I asked you to catch a thief. I heard that all the servants went to Lanche Garden? Who were the ones who arrived a little late?"
After hearing this, Fuquan looked at Xiao Zhang, and saw that Xiao Zhang hesitated slightly, but still nodded slightly, and then ordered someone to take out the records of that night and give them to Yu Qiansi.
He replied: "Although these people arrived late, they were either far away, or they came with buckets and other fire-fighting tools filled with water, so they were barely included."
Yu Qiansi took it and took a look, singled out the person who brought the things, and asked Wuya Guard and people from Nan'an County to check it out.
Sui Feng was a little confused.
"Lord Si Yin, how do I check it?"
"Let Fuquan take you there. Whether they come with a water basin or a wooden bucket, one thing counts as the same. They will search carefully where these things originally were."
Not long after, Sui Feng rushed back with something like lightning.
Not out of breath at all, even with some surprise and admiration: "Master Si Yin, we found something under the tree in the small courtyard where the barrels are stored."
After the coarse cloth furoshiki was spread out, there were a few valuable trinkets inside, a few square stones, and a broken pottery wind chime.
Boyi glanced at the contents of the baggage and saw huge waves in his dark eyes. He suddenly felt a pair of big hands suddenly squeeze his heart tightly, making him unable to breathe and had to stand still.
Dongqing was held in place at this moment, but suddenly lost her calm, struggled and screamed.
"I said it was me! I did everything, and I hid this thing! Jade Rakshasa, don't want to slander others at will!"
Yu Qiansi was not affected at all, and only picked up the broken pottery pieces, with some white fine powder remaining on them, which gave off a fine sparkle in the sunlight.
She said: "I'm afraid those who went there with the barrel that night were Wutong."
Yu Qiansi handed the pottery fragments in his hand, together with the entire bundle, to Boyi, and said with a smile: "You can smell it."
Boyi lowered his eyes to hide the turmoil in his eyes, picked up the baggage and went up to smell it.
"It's the sweet smell in the pavilion."
After saying this, he held the baggage in his hands and did not hand it to anyone else.
"That's right. Wutong is the real culprit who killed Yu Ren. I'm afraid his goal was this broken copper bell."
Yu Anning had gone through several changes today and had completely lost his ability to think. But when he saw the bell, he still felt familiar.
His expression moved slightly, in disbelief: "This is the bell hanging in the wind pavilion. I remember it was made by Wutong himself."
Firstly, it is used to press down the gauze curtain in the pavilion, and secondly, there is no annoying copper bell. When the wind blows, it tinkles happily, which is very comfortable.
Dip a small amount of powder into Yu Qiansi's index finger, and rub the powder in circles with your thumb and index finger.
In this case, who else doesn’t understand?
People in Bieyuan have known for a long time that Wutong and Dongqing have a good relationship. They also heard that the old lady was going to the government to cancel the slave contract between Cuizhu and Wutong. Many of the little maids chatted daily, and they were all very envious of Dongqing.
Wutong's ability was praised by everyone, and he became a steward at a young age. If Cuizhu asked the old lady for her grace and allocated holly to Wutong, and was canceled by the old lady as a slave, counting three generations in total, their son would be able to
I took part in the imperial examination. The imperial examination is of course nothing to the wealthy families, but for the common people, it is a very big deal.
Once you figure out this joint, everything will be easily solved.
