The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 28 The truth, the murderer is someone else

"Because, you have to cover your path in the pond."

Several unscrupulous people went into battle together, and after a while, the water surface dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a lot of pale stones again, like a grass-colored stone path, and several pieces connected into a line, heading straight towards The water pestle went crookedly.

Surprised voices kept coming and going, but he realized what Yuqiansi said in an instant.

The garden is full of all kinds of stones, long and short, square and round.As long as you find some long ones and put them into the water, they will dig deep into the mud at the bottom of the pool to pave a path.It would be effortless for any man of sufficient stature to walk over and tie the rope.

If there is not enough time, you can burn the giant spoon again to evaporate more water. The giant spoon moves slowly, and the leakage can be easily transferred to Haishi.

"I think, if the water in this pond has traces of evaporation from the fire, it will definitely leave water marks in the giant spoon. If you don't believe me, you can order someone to go to the pond and press down the giant spoon to find out."

"But." A little girl resisted the pressure and plucked up the courage to argue: "I saw Dongqing in Haishi."

It seems that Dongqing gets along well with everyone in the mansion, and now someone speaks for her.

"enough!"

Hearing this, Dongqing interrupted in a cold voice: "My lord is right, everything is correct, there are no mistakes or omissions, that's what I did. Let them fall asleep first, and then use the water in the pool and the fire pocket in hand to adjust the time." When it was Haishi. After tying the rope, I added enough water to the giant spoon to make it return to the correct time. When returning, I kicked the stones in the pool to make them less visible, and then covered it Water. Everything will be fine."

"Cover with water?"

Lin Shen 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 splashing canisters and water dragons in the yard? Since they are guarded by people, they must be filled with water. But you When you came here yesterday, did you see any water in it?"

Lin Shen slapped his forehead: "Oh! Yes!"

If all the water is poured into the pond, it will definitely be enough, and there will even be some more.

But new questions emerged.

"In this way, won't the guarding servant find that the water dragon is empty?"

Yu Qiansi stood on the small piece of black grass, stepped on it lightly, and said, "So, before she left, she lit another small fire."

Not only set a fire, but also left a small piece of broken cotton thread on the grass, deliberately leading the explorers to the water reel.

As soon as Mao Shi arrived, the sound of the bell awakened the two sleeping boys, and they would find that the yard was on fire again.But if the people above found out that they had neglected their duties and fell asleep, causing the fire to start up again, they would only be punished.

Therefore, the two must have extinguished the fire with the remaining water in the splash tube in a hurry, and kept silent, even if they found doubts, they would not say anything.

The two guards fell to their knees and begged for mercy.The frank words are almost the same as what Yu Qiansi said.

"You're right," Dongqing raised her head and looked fearless, like a general returning from victory: "I am the murderer."

Yu Qian pursed her lips, smiled but said nothing, but her eyes were cold.

She hates people interrupting her the most.

But since she admitted it, it saved her a lot of talking.

Still with a shallow smile, he ordered: "Okay, then take Dongqing down and put her in custody for murdering the imperial court!"

The tone is gentle, as if chatting with someone about "today's weather is good".

what?
All the people present, counting as one, were all shocked.

What is the imperial order of murder?Was she also responsible for the old lady's death?

Yuqian spread her hands and said, "I just said, 'the one who did all of this', and I didn't say that the one who did all of this is the murderer."

"The one who killed Steward Yu was someone else?"

Seeing that it was almost the truth, Bo Yi couldn't help asking, his heart beat like a drum.

Yu Qiansi nodded and smiled, and turned to Fuquan to ask questions.

"It was designed for you to catch the thief that night. I heard that all the servants went to Lancheyuan? Who are the ones who arrived a little late?"

Hearing the words, Fuquan looked at Mrs. Zhang, saw Mrs. Zhang hesitated slightly, but nodded slightly, and then ordered someone to take out the records of that night and hand them to Yu Qiansi.

He replied: "Although these people arrived late, they were either far away, or they brought buckets and other fire-fighting supplies filled with water, so they were barely counted."

Yuqiansi took a look, and singled out the person who brought the things, and asked Wuyawei and people from Nan'an County to check together.

Suifeng was a little confused.

"Master Si Yin, how to check?"

"Let Fuquan take you there. It doesn't matter whether they came with a water basin or a wooden barrel, it doesn't matter if they come here, and they will go to the places where these things were originally to search carefully."

Not long after, Sui Feng rushed back with something like lightning.

Not panting 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 gadgets inside, a few square stones, and a broken pottery wind chime.

Boyi glanced at the things inside the baggage, and there were huge waves in his black eyes, and he suddenly felt a pair of big hands squeeze his heart tightly, making him unable to breathe, so he could only stand there in a daze.

Dongqing was held in place at the moment, but suddenly lost her composure, struggling and shouting.

"I said it was me! I did everything, and I hid this thing too! Yu Luocha, don't you want to slander others at will!"

Yuqiansi was not affected at all, and only picked up the broken pottery shards, with some white powder remaining on them, which shone finely in the sunlight.

She said: "The one who brought the barrel that night, probably has the phoenix tree."

Yu Qiansi handed the pottery shards in his hand, together with the whole package, to Boyi, and said with a smile, "Smell."

Bo Yi lowered his eyes to hide the turmoil in his eyes, picked up the bag and went up to smell it.

"It's the sweet and greasy taste in the pavilion."

After speaking, he held the burden and did not pass it to others.

"That's right. Indus is the real culprit who killed Yu Ren. His goal is probably this broken copper bell."

After several accidents today, Yu Anning has completely lost her ability to think.But when I saw the bell, I 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."

First, it is used to press down the gauze curtain in the pavilion, and second, it does not have the trouble of copper bells.When the wind blows, the ding dong yells, which is very comfortable.

Yu Qiansi dipped a pinch of powder onto her index finger, and rubbed her thumb and index finger in circles to grind the powder.

In this way, who else does not understand?

The people in Bieyuan have known for a long time that Wutong and Dongqing are friends. They also heard that the old lady was going to the government to eliminate the slave bond between Cuizhu and Wutong.Many little maids chatted daily, and they were very envious of Dongqing during their conversations.

Wutong's ability is praised by everyone, and he became a steward at a young age. If Cuizhu begged the old lady's grace to allocate holly to Wutong, and the old lady would cancel his slave status together, counting three generations in total, their son would be able to Participated in the imperial examination.The imperial examination is naturally nothing to the rich and powerful, but to the common people, it is a very important thing.

Once you figure out this joint, everything will be easily solved.
