Lihua discovered that the evildoer is really a evildoer. He knows the subtleties, has strong insight, and acts vigorously and resolutely. He is worthy of being an emperor.
He briefly asked her about what happened to her.
She knew that a palace maid invited her to Jinghong Hall this afternoon. Then the person ran away and Xiao Chan bumped into her.
He glanced at her and half-smiled: "It turns out that sir sometimes makes miscalculations. If you feel something is wrong next time, don't worry so much, just arrest him."
The first half of the sentence made Lihua feel a little embarrassed. It was indeed her indecisiveness that made her let him go.
If we could catch the person, things might be different now.
In the second half of the sentence, Lihua felt that the evildoer's words were very domineering, but she was a little beauty, so how could she look like him.
Lihua hides her slander in her heart, her face is very sincere, and her eyes are full of admiration:
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Long live my sage! It's just that long live my Lord, I call you Mr. Concubine. I am frightened and I really don't dare to accept it."
As soon as she called her husband, she felt like a monster was teasing her, which made her panic.
Yuchi Gong saw her pretending, and his palms itched again: "It turns out that you want me to call you my beloved concubine. It doesn't matter, my beloved concubine is more intimate."
Lihua choked, my dear concubine, let her be more awkward!!!
When Yuchi Gong saw that she was deflated, he felt relieved and asked: "I remember that my concubine is a good painter. I wonder if it is possible to paint a portrait of a palace maid pretending to be a member of Zhuangning Palace?"
Lihua wondered how he knew she was a painter, and then remembered that the IOU she asked him to sign had a hairpin style painted on it.
Her face heated up slightly, and she nodded solemnly, pretending to have forgotten what happened, and endured being called concubine.
Yuchi Gong chuckled lightly, but did not expose her, and asked someone to bring a small case, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so that the little thief would be willing to sit down.
Earlier, he asked Lihua whether he should sit down or stand. Lihua was worried and said that she could just stand aside.
Yuchi Gong didn't force her at the moment, but was looking for an opportunity to let her sit down openly. After taking care of this, he formally checked the case.
There is no need for Yu Chigong to do this himself, but this case is obviously aimed at Wu Fang'er. It is more like killing two birds with one stone, and the little thief is one of them.
Since it was about a little thief, Yuchi Gong wanted to see for himself who was causing trouble.
He first waved his hand and immediately sent someone to take over the case.
Check the handwriting on the suicide note and ask all relevant slaves to write with both hands and compare the handwriting;
Carry out autopsies on Wu and Xiaochan again to find out whether the cause of death is different from what was previously determined;
Re-search the dormitories of all the servants in Jinghong Hall, including the master, not sparing an inch, and take away any suspicious objects one by one;
Conduct a comprehensive search of the people and clothing disguised as Zhuang Ning Palace maids. If Zhuang Ning Palace costumes appear in other palaces, they will be brought back for questioning regardless of the reason;
Thoroughly investigate Xiaojunzi’s past, who he interacted with during his lifetime, where he worked as an errand before going to Tingliyuan, and where the poisonous pill came from;
Where is the doctor who tested the poison, and why has it taken so long for there to be no results!
Under the instructions of the Queen Mother, the Criminal Division was still too merciful and could not find anything for a long time. Yuchi Gong felt that the investigation was too slow.
Then, he quickly went through all the confessions.
At this time, only one-third of Lihua's portrait had been drawn, and she was distracted by two things. She listened to Yuchi Gong's every order and went straight to the point, and was filled with admiration in her heart.
The big cat Wu Xue squatted next to Pear Blossom, like a lucky cat, tilting its furry head to watch Pear Blossom paint.
Yuchi Gong looked at Lihua. With her as his company, he didn't feel troublesome about these trivial matters and felt very peaceful.
He picked up one of the confessions and took a look at it: "Although this slave did not specify that you were the one who poisoned the Wu family, every word contained evil intentions, implying that you had a problem with the Wu family. The key words were all one-sided statements without any proof. It can be seen that it was
What do you think, concubine, if you treat people like fools?"
Lihua's spirit perked up, the monster was really clear-sighted, and she heard the words "Beloved Concubine".
Lihua put down her pen and stood up to salute: "Long live the wise Lord!"
Yuchi smiled respectfully, thinking that it was rare for a little thief to give a sincere compliment.
He summoned people: "Take this unfaithful and lowly slave girl for strict investigation. Don't teach her to commit suicide in fear of crime. Let's see who she is ordered to do."
The master is dead, and the testimony of all the slaves in Jinghong Hall has traces of the guidance of this palace maid. If there is no one behind him, Yuchi Gong will not believe it.
Therefore, we need to examine it clearly first to avoid interference, and then we can see clearly the fog behind it.
Poor Linglong is preparing a lot of rhetoric to deal with various situations.
But Yu Chigong saw through the trick at a glance. He was not even qualified to be summoned for interrogation, so he was dragged down for interrogation.
What greeted her this time was not the gentle methods of the Criminal Division.
Yuchi Gong then picked up a confession and frowned: "Zhou Zheng is your cousin?"
Lihua paused her writing, nodded in response, "Yes." and said no more.
Yuchi Gong realized something was wrong as soon as his mind changed. He put down his confession and said: "Just a few words and one-sided words can put you at a disadvantage. Your cousin doesn't seem to have any affection for you."
Lihua looked up at him, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.
She has nothing to say about Zhou Yuzhen.
Yuchi Gong sighed in his heart, it was obvious that there must be some rift between the two of them.
The other party wanted to put the little thief to death, but the little thief didn't take this opportunity to add insult to injury. He was still too kind.
Then let him do it.
"Come here, take Zhou Huixing down for interrogation and find out why she happened to be there at that time. She will not be released until she is interrogated."
The harem is so big and the day is so long. It is really strange to happen to meet the little thief and the palace maid who seems to have committed suicide in fear of crime, and to hear the words "repaying kindness by doing things like cows and horses".
Zhou Yuzhen, who was kneeling outside the hall, had planned everything and was anxiously waiting for the summons, hoping that she would have a chance to perform.
But he didn't understand the emperor. He was a man who cut through the mess with a sharp knife. He peeled off the surface to see the inner essence and went straight to the core.
The emperor was not entangled in Zhou Yuzhen's thoughts at all, and the emperor did not care about what she heard Xiaochan and Lihua say.
Why Zhou Yuzhen is there? Is it spontaneous, guided by others, or colluded with someone? This is the key.
Lihua admired Yuchi Gong's keenness, but also had complicated emotions.
The original owner and Zhou Yuzhen have been together for so many years, but they can't compare to the few meetings she had with the monster, which is sad.
But on the other hand, the monster is making the decision for her.
This realization made Lihua feel a little hot.
She thought that monsters were actually quite good in a certain respect. At least in the past, except for the Wu family, no one had made decisions for her.
When Lihua was in a complicated state of mind, someone hurriedly came in and said: "Long live my Lord, the servants found something suspicious in the residence of the Grand Palace Lady Linglong in Jinghong Hall."
Previously, the Queen Mother ordered a search, but the Criminal Division was short of manpower, so they searched Tingli Courtyard first, and then Jinghong Hall, but found nothing.
After the emperor's people took over, they searched again and found that there were slaves not living in Jinghong Hall, so they immediately went to search.
Under the eldest palace maid's exquisite bed, I dug three feet into the ground and unearthed a bundle.
When Lihua saw the baggage, her eyes flashed, her heart lifted a little, and she had no time to be moved.
She put away the pen on the portrait, spread the paper out to dry, and then naturally stretched out her hand to stroke the fur of the big cat next to her.
When Wu Xue saw the baggage, her ears twitched and she reacted.
