Chapter 105 The Truth about the Missing Embroidered Shoes

"Concubine Jin, those red embroidered shoes with cloud patterns scattered around the pond belong to you?" Su Xuan said to Concubine Jin at this time, although these physical evidences are now in the Punishment Department, she has not found them. The dossier, the Punishment Department did not officially hand over the case to Su Xuan, so it is naturally impossible for the pair of embroidered shoes to be in her hands.

However, Commander Cen's first reaction when he saw the pair of embroidered shoes was that the shoes belonged to Concubine Jin. Due to the procedure of proving the reliability of the evidence, she had to ask Concubine Jin personally.

In order to make it clearer, she tried to describe the style and pattern of the embroidered shoelaces as clearly as possible, hoping that her description could remind Concubine Jin of something, so as to give the most valuable testimony.

"That's right, those shoes are indeed Bengong's. The day before yesterday, Bengong planned to practice dancing and asked Chrysanthemum to find cloud pattern shoes for Bengong, but for some reason, I just couldn't find them. I was wondering who would How about stealing my shoes? I don’t want to hear that the pair of embroidered shoes were found beside the dead man in the pond, and I don’t know what’s going on!” Concubine Jin has an innocent face, a grievance that she doesn’t know the situation.

Those were a pair of dancing shoes specially made for Concubine Jin to dance, and ordinary people couldn't wear them, so when the shoes were lost, she wondered who would take those shoes, but now they appeared at the scene of the crime, which made her even more I can't figure it out.

"Chrysanthemum, have those shoes been put out to dry recently?" After hearing Concubine Jin's answer, Su Xuan immediately asked the chrysanthemum beside Concubine Jin if the shoes had been taken out to dry.

Because the shoes need to be washed and dried during the maintenance process, because only in this way can we ensure that the shoes have no peculiar smell, and the shoes can be kept clean, so it is common for the shoes to be taken out to dry.

When Su Xuan asked about this, she naturally wanted to know where the shoes were located in the past two days, so that she could understand how the shoes got to the pond.

"The weather is quite humid these days, and the servant girl was worried that the shoes would get wet, so I took them out to dry after the sun came out four days ago!" Chrysanthemum immediately said, "I didn't put away the shoes until...until the evening! "

She carefully told about the matter of drying the shoes yesterday, almost recreating the situation yesterday, and her careful and serious attitude made people have to believe what she said.

But Su Xuan felt that what she said was too detailed, so detailed that she didn't miss every detail, which was different from a normal reaction. How could she remember something so clearly when she did it casually?So there must be something tricky here.

"You're lying, you didn't receive those shoes at all yesterday, because it was raining at that time and the surroundings were soaked, you didn't have time to collect them at all!" Su Xuan immediately angrily yelled at Chrysanthemum.

"No, no, this servant did not lie!" Chrysanthemum immediately argued to Su Xuan, "Even if it was raining at that time, this servant could have braved the rain to collect the shoes, so why do you say that this servant did not collect the shoes? "

"Put your shoes in the rain, your own shoes will definitely be stepped on in the rain, and you will lose your shoes, but I didn't see your wet shoes in Ziyun Tower, how can this be explained?" Su Xuan continued to press Holding the chrysanthemum, I want to open a breakthrough from the chrysanthemum.

"This...I..." Chrysanthemum was so frightened by Su Xuan's words that she didn't know how to deal with it. She hesitated in a guilty conscience, and the sweat on her face slowly slid down and fell to the ground, splashing a little. A small water flower.

"Actually, you are lying. You are very nervous now. You are afraid that I will prove that you are lying, so you are so nervous, right?" Su Xuan asked further, "But now I can tell you that it didn't rain last night , those embroidered shoes are also very clean, not wet, your shoes can't be wet, and I went to Ziyun Tower for a short time, it's impossible to find your shoes at a glance, and find something wrong, I'm just cheating you It's a pity that your nervousness betrayed yourself and exposed you with lies!"

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum immediately went limp, and only then did she realize that she had exposed herself just now because of a guilty conscience, so at this time she had to admit that she had lied: "Yes, the servant girl lied, the servant girl really took out the shoes to dry, But when collecting the shoes in the evening, the servants found that the shoes were missing, fearing that the master would punish them, so the servants did not report the truth to the master.

The master couldn't put it down because of those shoes, the slaves knew it, if they lost those shoes, the master wouldn't beat the slaves to death?So the slaves dare not speak out.

But the servant did not expect that His Majesty would pardon the servant's master, and let the master fight with the Tianzhu mission. The master was still looking for these shoes, but the servant pretended to search for a few times, but if he didn't find it, he reported that he couldn't find it!Slaves deserve to die, empress dowager forgives sins, master forgives sins! "

Chrysanthemum immediately kowtowed to admit her mistake, hoping that Concubine Jin and the Empress Dowager would forgive her.

"It's up to your master how to deal with it. I'm sorry to ask!" The queen mother expressed her position at this time. It is not a big deal for a court lady to mismanage and lose a pair of embroidered shoes. Naturally, she would not ask about this matter, but Shi directly handed over this matter to Concubine Jin to deal with.

"You!" Concubine Jin looked like she hated iron for being weak, and didn't know what to say to this girl.

"If I'm not wrong, that pair of embroidered shoes was taken away by a caring person at that time, that is, from that time, a plan was born slowly until it was realized!" Su Xuan figured out how the embroidered shoes were lost. , Proving that there is no direct connection between Concubine Jin and the deceased, at least Concubine Jin has no time or motivation to go to the pond.

"But I don't understand, who took those embroidered shoes? And why did they take them to the pond?" Concubine Jin didn't intend to scold Chrysanthemum, but turned to ask Su Xuan, wanting to know why those embroidered shoes were taken by someone. On the shore of a pond, near the place where the deceased drowned.

"Could it be that Chunmei brought it there by herself?" Little Mirror said to Su Xuan at this time, it seemed that she thought of a possibility, and said to Su Xuan immediately.

"What is the basis?" Su Xuan heard the little mirror's bold speculation, and immediately asked the little mirror. She wanted to see what the little mirror based on to make such a judgment.

"Aunt Chunmei is a person who must repay her kindness. When she learned that Concubine Jin was wronged and grounded, she almost died. She felt that the opportunity to repay her kindness had come, so she planned all this, and used her own death to demonstrate the injustice of Concubine Jin. I hope that His Majesty will thoroughly investigate the case of the prince's murder a few years ago because of her death!" Xiao Jing immediately said to Su Xuan, and expressed her own judgment and analysis.

"This conjecture seems reasonable, but it is full of loopholes!" Su Xuan immediately denied the conjecture and said, as if she had her own reasoning.
