Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 236
Although Chen Di and Chen Shen were about the same age, they were not considered acquaintances. In the capital city, they seemed like they hadn't seen each other for a while, and they hadn't seen each other a few times on official occasions.

If we only talk about status, Chen Shen is the prince, and Chen Di is just a son, so he is naturally shorter than this cousin.

Now that his own mother and concubine died in his own home again, Chen Di was the first and the second eldest, so he had to be careful to step up and accompany him, and let him be beaten and scolded.

Chen Shen didn't give him a look, but said coldly: "This king is a reasonable person, as long as you hand over the murderer." Chen Di complained a lot, there are so many people today, who knows who did it, let's find out How fast can it be?

Chen Shen's posture of blocking people in the attic is afraid that if they can't be found out one day, they will be blocked for one day, and if they can't be found out for two days, they will be blocked for two days.There are some of his elders inside, they are almost seventy years old, if they are tired, Pingwang's mansion will not be good.

It's really a disaster!Chen Di was so distressed that he couldn't tell, and he even complained that his mother had nothing to do to hold a flower viewing feast.Hun forgot that when he learned that the princess of Xiangyang was also invited, he specifically asked his mother to invite him along with Jiang Jiuying.

The only plan for now is to find the murderer as soon as possible. He prayed silently in his heart, but don't wait for the murderer to be found out before getting involved with them in Prince Ping's Mansion, otherwise King An will have to demolish their house!
No matter how much the government doesn't want to see this half-brother, it's impossible for outsiders to bully him. They must be biased.

"Do you have any clues?" Seeing that the brothers from the Zhao family were presiding over the interrogation, Chen Di was half relieved. These two are related to Concubine Zhao, so they will definitely do their best and take ten thousand steps back, even if the murderer cannot be caught for a while. , can also persuade Chen Shen to restrain himself.

"I'm listening to their confessions, my son, don't be impatient."

The cooks in the kitchen were the first to yell at Qu: "The servants have dozens of hot and cold dishes to prepare, and they are so busy that they don't even have time to drink water. There are people all around, so how can there be any chance to put some messy things?" .Besides, it is impossible for the servants to know which dish is to be delivered to the table of the concubine."

The female envoy who was in charge of passing the dishes said: "The kitchen is not far from the water pavilion. The servants are dedicated to their errands. Naturally, they dare not delay on the way. It cannot be a mistake on the way. The servants also work in a group. The lid has never been lifted!"

The female envoy who was in charge of serving the dishes went on to say: "The actions of the servants are all under the watchful eyes of the public, and any master or empress can see it clearly when she looks up. Poison! Besides, the palace has strict rules, slaves and maidservants are usually not allowed to leave the gate, so how could they possibly have the opportunity to buy poison."

If Concubine Zhao herself was the murderer's intended target, of course the cooks could be ruled out first, as they said, they cook exactly the same dishes, and they can't control which dishes will be delivered to whose table.

But the servants who pass the dishes and serve the dishes can do it, and they can leave the water pavilion after the dishes are delivered to the table, so no one will suspect that their whereabouts are different. Empty paper bags are destroyed.

"Let me tell you first, after serving the dishes, where did you go, who were you with, who can prove it?" Zhao Dongzhi raised his finger to one person, who was the young envoy who was in charge of serving the dishes to Concubine Zhao.

"The maidservant didn't go anywhere, she has been standing beside the two elder sisters." These words were confirmed by the two female envoys beside Concubine Zhao: "Yes, she is indeed standing with us all the time."

According to common sense, since the banquet is open, the dishes will be delivered non-stop, the interval between them is not long, and the servants in charge of serving the dishes can't go far, so as not to be impolite.

"Search her first." For a female envoy, Zhao Dongzhi didn't have any thoughts of intimacy between men and women, and immediately some police came forward to search her body. The young envoy had a look of despair and passively accepted the insult.

"Returning to my son, there are no contraband on her."

"The only possibility is you." Seeing that Zhao Dongzhuo turned her target to her, the female envoy who passed on the dish also looked desperate: "I don't have any, and I am willing to be searched to prove my innocence."

Of course it was not found.

Even the police officers sent out to search the waterside pavilion and the kitchen must return without success.

Could it be that they really wronged them, and the person who poisoned them is actually a master, able to cover up people's eyes and eyes, and poison them from a distance?
Zhao Dongzhu couldn't help the conspiracy theory again, but it didn't help him get out of the current predicament.

The person who poisoned must be someone who can get close to the dishes used by Concubine Zhao. The cook is indeed not suspicious. Jiang Jiuying looked back and forth between the two female envoys who passed the dishes and served them, and then turned to the place on the ground that had been temporarily covered by a white cloth. Concubine Zhao.

The container containing the poison was not found, so everything was empty talk, but how did this thing that must exist in theory disappear out of thin air?
She continued to look at everyone present calmly.

Suddenly, the headdress of the young envoy caught Jiang Jiuying's attention.

It is a small pearl hairpin in the shape of a plum blossom, and the pearl is missing in the middle. Looking at the opening and closing of the receptacle, this pearl should be the size of a thumbnail.

There is no pearl breeding industry at this time, such a large pearl can be used as a tribute, and it is not easy to see it in the market, even the general officials and women's family members may not be able to get it.

It would actually be worn on the head of a little envoy, and judging by her attire, she might be a newly promoted third-class girl, not much better than a rough envoy, and the monthly silver would not exceed five hundred coins. This pearl, She has been working all her life and cannot afford food, drink, or money.

interesting.Jiang Jiuying whispered a few words to Jiang Wenyuan, and the latter immediately went to find Imperial Physician Tang, and took the study of Sanbuzhi to study, and finally nodded slightly to her.

Jiang Jiuying smiled, just like what the envoy said, she has no grievances with Concubine Zhao, why did she insist on killing someone who has nothing to do with her?There is no one behind this, can't you justify it?

"Where did the hair ornaments on your head and the pearls embedded go?" Zhao Dongzhi's face turned darker after hearing Jiang Wenyuan's discovery, and asked the young envoy who had been yelling wronged just now.

"Lost, lost!"

"It's a lost one. Do you know how much such a big pearl is worth? Tell me, where did this hair ornament come from? Now tell me honestly, I can plead with Prince Ping's mansion and give you a good time, otherwise, hum!"

There are many ways to torture people, just look at her family, a little girl, how much she can bear.Zhao Dongzhang is not the Holy Mother, how could he be kind to others.

Chen Di didn't expect that after many trials, he really found out the ghost from his own house. He was bitter, and carefully looked at the female envoy who was kneeling on the ground. She was indeed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't name her. However, he can be sure that this is indeed his own servant girl. In any case, Prince Ping's Mansion cannot escape the responsibility.
