Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 104: A Counterattack (3)
She burst into tears, and her affection was sincere, but anyone with a little emotion would be deeply moved by this master-servant relationship.

After all these people came to the stage to complain about Jiang Li's "evil deeds", Chu Mao turned his head to look at Jiang Li, and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Jiang Li looked at Chu Mao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Is there any more?"

Chu Mao was stunned, and raised his eyebrows for a moment: "Is this not clear enough? You held a grudge against Yuanyuan at the Seventh Concubine's banquet, and you didn't do it until Yuanyuan begged you. Unexpectedly You look like such a slender girl, but your heart is so vicious!"

Jiang Li patted his arm as if nothing had happened, looked at him and said, "If I say that the Second Sister-in-law was killed by you, would you believe it or not?"

Chu Mao stepped back: "Nonsense! I love Yuanyuan so much, how could I harm her?!"

Jiang Li just smiled slightly: "Do you love her? Why do you love her and never see where you have accompanied her?"

Chu Mao frowned and said, "I've always been busy."

"Busy?" Jiang Li said flatly, "The second prince is busy, so let me ask you, the second concubine's hand is hurt, which hand did she hurt?"

Chu Mao's face froze: "Left, left hand."

"Left hand?" Jiang Li smiled.

Chu Mao said: "It's the right hand, yes, it's the right hand."

Jiang Li sighed, and said, "Second prince, it's neither the left hand nor the right hand. The second imperial concubine's hands are both injured, don't you love her? Why don't you even know where she was injured? Second prince, you now What are you doing here with a sad face?"

Chu Mao said: "You are talking nonsense! Stop sophistry!"

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "If you were distracted by her, your wife would not be in this situation. However, it's all right if you treat her coldly. Why do you want to harm her? She is the one who treats you the most in this world. Sincere people."

Chu Mao said angrily: "You are simply diverting your attention! At least it is true that you harmed her!"

Jiang Li smiled and shook his head, then turned around and walked towards the girl, and said, "Is it you who is following your miss today?"

"Yes, it's me." The girl curled her hands on the ground slightly, her body tensed.

Jiang Li nodded: "Then where did you go when your miss was in the room?"

The girl said: "Miss told me to look for the ditty singer, and after I found it, I stayed outside."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Then you were there when the fire broke out?"

The girl nodded in confusion.

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Well, you are a very obedient girl."

The girl was stunned for a moment, but at this time Mrs. Luo had already rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped her on the face.

The girl covered her face and cried, "Ma'am, why are you beating me?"

Mrs. Luo pointed at her and cursed: "Aren't you loyal? Why didn't you rush in to pull my daughter out? What kind of girl are you? My daughter is accompanied by Xing'er, what are you?"

Jiang Li glanced at her, then walked towards the two boys over there, and said, "You two brothers, I want to ask you a few questions, and I just need to answer them truthfully, but I hope you all have to answer them at the same time. .”

The people next to him nodded secretly when they heard it. If two people spoke at the same time, if they were a little careless, they would show their feet. As long as the first reaction was not that, then all the previous testimony might be completely overturned.And the crime of bullying the king is in front of you, like a sword hanging around your neck, if you are not careful, you will beheaded and die.

Jiang Li asked, "Where were you when the fire broke out?"

"In a hug."

"Have you met those two little girls before?"

"I have seen."

"How did the fire start?"

"First, the back room of Yihuo caught fire, and then they rushed up to the second floor. Then the people on the first floor followed suit."

"So the second floor burns faster than the first?"

"Yes."

"Oh, that's it."

Jiang Li finished asking, then turned to look at everyone, and said, "I don't know if you heard clearly?"

How could such words not be heard clearly?But almost everyone was waiting for Jiang Li to find out the flaws, but now that the confessions of the two were so consistent and the answers were quick, it was enough to see that the two were not lying.

Jiang Li said: "First of all, the fire started from the kitchen on the first floor, so why didn't it burn the first floor first but rushed up to the second floor? Logically speaking, the first floor should be burned first and then go to the second floor, but In fact, most of the guests on the first floor have fled. I believe that this situation can be proved by anyone who comes here.”

Everyone's eyes were confused.

Jiang Li said: "Then there is only one possibility, that is, the original route of the fire has been changed, and someone used kerosene to make the fire burn to the second floor first. And if this is the case, it must be prepared in advance. And before, they said they had seen Those two little girls, what I want to say is, those two girls of mine have never been out of Prince Qi's mansion before, so where did they come to make these preparations?"

Chu Mao said coldly: "It's just your one-sided opinion, who knows if your girl is really in Prince Qi's mansion?"

Jiang Li smiled and said: "Second prince, it is indeed my one-sided opinion. But I want to ask, my girls are very skilled in martial arts, I think if they want to enter the kitchen without anyone noticing, according to these two little second brothers In terms of time, can they do it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, Chu Yu, who had been silent by the side, raised his eyes and said, "Father, I feel that this matter still needs to be investigated carefully."

Emperor Cheng Yuan's face fell gloomy, and said: "Just follow what the Ninth Prince said, and investigate carefully, Seventh Prince, I will leave this matter to you."

Chu Yuan, who was beside him, came out and said, "Yes. I will obey my father's orders."

Emperor Cheng Yuan gave the second prince a hard look, then angrily shook his sleeves, turned around and left.

Chu Mao's face turned red and turned white, and the look that Emperor Cheng Yuan gave him was too obvious, so obvious that everyone's eyes looking at him became unpredictable.This time, he could only grit his teeth and suffer from being dumb, and endured it forcefully.Although Luo Yuan's death had little to do with him directly, but in the current situation, he wished he could speak clearly.

Jiang Li stepped forward, smiled at Chu Mao, and said, "The Second Emperor's Wife liked you very much before she was alive. I think it was because of you that she wanted to have perfect hands. Therefore, the Second Prince might as well go to Wizard Daqiu to help her." Ask for a severed hand. Yi Ren has passed away, but it should be possible to talk about your heart."

After she finished speaking, she walked to Chu Yu's side. Chu Yu looked at her with a smile and asked, "Is it over?"

Jiang Li nodded.
