Madam is leaving today

Chapter 36 The Heart and the Battlefield

Two straight lines?

Su Yun was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Gu Junwei, but seeing that he just frowned slightly, without any overly surprised expression on his face, he knew it in his heart, probably, he already knew this.

Also, the ground that has been burned by the fire will inevitably leave traces, and it is impossible for him not to notice it when he went to the scene to check.

It's just that it's one thing to see the traces after the incident, but it's another thing to see those two flames with your own eyes. Judging from Su Niang's expression, those two flames must be very abrupt and strange under the reflection of the night.

Su Niang was later interrogated by two rough maids from the kitchen, both of whom were fourteen or fifteen years old.

The first girl who came up was Xiaoxi, she had an oval face, and she was quite pretty. When she saw Gu Junwei, she blushed and lowered her head slightly, looking very shy. When answering questions, she often couldn't help but look up secretly head man.

She said that she got up late that morning, and when she was rushing to the kitchen, she suddenly saw wisps of white smoke floating in the direction of the kitchen under the pale sky. Court.

Fortunately, Zuixiao Pavilion itself was built magnificently, with its own independent yard surrounded by walls, and there was no wind that day, so the fire did not spread to the buildings on both sides.

Gu Junwei looked at the woman who kept peeking at her with cold eyes, and said lightly: "As you said, when you found out that the Zuixiao Pavilion was on fire, the fire should not have been serious, but you ran out by yourself, and you didn't think about it." Wake up the others?"

The servants of Zuixiao Pavilion all lived in the east wing, some distance away from the place where the fire started. If she had gone back to call for someone, those servants might not have lost their lives in their sleep.

Xiaoxi's face turned pale immediately, and she didn't dare to peek any more. She kowtowed her head desperately and shouted, "Gu Qing, spare your life, Gu Qing, spare your life!"

Seeing that her forehead was about to break if she knocked down again, Gu Junwei frowned slightly, and waved someone to take her down.

The next rough envoy was named Xiaoping, she was thin and small, and she was also timid. When the guard brought her up, she shrank back desperately with a face of fear, as if she could stay away from the guard.

When entering the door, she accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground. The guard next to her tried to help her, but she suddenly screamed, "Don't touch me!"

Then, he jumped up abruptly, his quick movements changed from the previous shyness, but after he got up, he shrank back and moved away from the guard.

During the interrogation, she has been cowering.She said that she had been with Fan Niang before the fire, helping her with the ingredients for breakfast, and had never been to other places.

For other questions, she either shook her head or answered "I don't know" timidly, which made Su Yun's liver ache.

And from the beginning to the end, she kept her head down, as if she didn't dare to look at the people in the hall.

After asking Xiaoping, it was time to go to the last person, Ding Er who was on duty in the lobby that night.

Perhaps it was because he was the only one who stayed in Zuixiao Pavilion that night, and his figure more or less appeared in the words of the previous few people.

When the guards took Xiaoping down, another guard came up with Ding Er. He was a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old. Like a normal person, he walked in with a dazed look on his face, looked at the surrounding environment a little uneasily, and slowly passed Xiaoping who was still shrunk into a ball.

Su Yun watched, recalling the previous interrogation, suddenly shivered and sat up straight.

There really is something else going on in this case!
Gu Junwei, who was sitting at the top, seemed to be aware of it. He looked down at the woman on the lower right, saw her straight back, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

At this time, Qing Lai, who was standing beside him, said in a low voice with a little annoyance: "Lang Jun, this trial is really not something that ordinary people can do. After listening to so many people's words, no matter how I look at it, everyone is suspicious?"

In the army before, there was no need to think about these twists and turns, only thinking about how to destroy the enemy, even if it was an interrogation, how could it be so troublesome?Nine out of ten people who can be caught in the interrogation room have problems, and all kinds of tortures are repeated in turn, so why is it afraid that he will not recruit?

Gu Junwei glanced at him amusedly, and said lightly: "Qing Lai, the most terrifying thing is never the swords and guns on the battlefield, but the human heart."

The swords and guns on the battlefield, no matter how dangerous they are, are all coming towards you openly, but the swords and guns in the hearts of the people are invisible and intangible, and they don't know when they will stab you in the back.

Qing Lai suddenly became a little anxious, "Lang Jun, what do you mean, you can't see through those people?"

What can I do then?Although he trusts Lang Jun very much in his heart, he has to say that his family's Lang Jun is not good at adjudicating cases. Everyone knows that the Holy Majesty transferred Lang Jun to this position with ill intentions, but they have no choice. .

"What's the rush?" Gu Junwei's mouth slightly raised, his phoenix eyes drooped slightly, he glanced at the woman in the lower right corner, and said with a sigh: "There must be someone who can see through."

Qing Lai was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the woman sitting at the bottom, feeling a little unbelievable in her heart.

What Lang Jun said, could it be the Young Madam?
Although he stayed outside the study room last night, the sound insulation effect of the study room is very good. He can hear faint voices, but he can't hear what the people in the room are talking about, so he only found out in the morning. Mr. Lang actually wanted to bring his young wife to the trial.

Just remembering that the Young Madam seemed quite interested in that woman named Liu Niang yesterday, she thought that maybe she begged Mr. Lang to bring her over to see the situation.

However, now it seems that this is not the case?
Qing Lai was even more confused for a moment, what is Lang Jun's attitude towards the young lady?

Su Yun didn't know what the master and servant were thinking, just watched the guards bring Ding Er in front of them as before, and then listened to Gu Junwei interrogate him.

Ding Er said that there was a table of guests who came to drink that night and they were unwilling to leave. He was so busy that he couldn’t leave a single step. Looking back to see if anyone can help, because it was Yinzheng moment at that time, except for the people in the kitchen who hoped to get up early to prepare breakfast for the guests, it was basically difficult to find other awake people, and he I was also very lucky to meet Fan Niang who arrived early.

Su Yun bowed his head and silently counted the time calculation method that these geniuses are familiar with. At the moment of Yinzheng, it is around 4:15 in the morning, and the fire started at the end of Yinshi, that is, around 4:45. There is a lot of wine, and it is impossible for people near the firewood room not to smell the wine.

Although the kitchen is in a straight line with the firewood room, there is still a certain distance, so people in the kitchen may not smell the smell of wine, but they can see the firewood room as long as they look up.

But Fan Niang said that when she went to the woodshed to move firewood, she didn't notice anything unusual.

Su Yun's expression suddenly sank, that is to say, either Fan Niang was lying, or the prisoner set up a trap in less than an hour after Fan Niang left the woodshed and before the fire started. .

　Now, here comes the question, who is the culprit? [Push Glasses] I would like to ask you one thing~ When you comment, I will give you a score by the way. It seems that the number of stars for a book depends on the number of reviews and everyone’s ratings~
