"Clang-clang-clang-"
The third gong sounded. In the silent night, the penetration of this gong sound was extremely strong, which made the heartbeat of the few kneeling men in the hall. .
The steward who was in charge of purchasing in the inner courtyard and the women who were in charge of the small Buddha Hall were all brought.
"Master Shi!" Tian Tian, who was in charge of buying and buying, carefully looked at the section of ring incense placed on the ground, called Qu Dao, "Slave didn't know anything. The candles, incense and paper money used in the Little Buddha Hall have been used for decades. I bought it from the long-established Lijiapuzi in the city. Shizi, go and ask the upper and lower people in this house. No one knows this! "Give her the courage and she dare not tamper with the incense candle! At most, she just found a little oil and water at Lijiapuzi.
For three weekdays, the mother-in-law who was responsible for guarding and cleaning the little Buddha's hall repeatedly gimmicked her head: "Sir son, you know nothing about slavery!" Until now, we still feel like we are dreaming. How is this possible? !!
One of the women in brown clothes boldly said, "Father of the world, in the Buddhist hall, the old prince, the old queen, the second lord, and the prince of the first prince, the slaves are devoted every day and dare not leave. of."
The other two mother-in-law nodded again and again. If the masters had a tablet in case, giving them a hundred heads would not be enough for Wang Ye and Shi Ziye.
Although the chores of this little Buddhist temple are easy, they dare not care for a moment.
Xiao Yi smiled coldly, "That is to say, you don't know if there is a problem with this incense?"
Tian Yan and the women-in-law had long been scared to death, arguing loudly for themselves: "Master Shizi, slaves really don't know."
Xiao Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense, cold eyes fell on them, and ordered: "Since this is so, what is the use of staying with you. Drag on, stick!"
Staff? !! Tian Yan and the women almost did not collapse, and hurriedly bowed their heads to ask for forgiveness: "Master Shizi forgive you! Master Shizi forgive you!" They were all cold and shrouded in despair. !!
Xiao Yi gave an order, and immediately there were a few thick-shouldered, round-skinned women who stepped forward without a smile, saying "offended" ...
"And slow!"
At this moment, an old and peaceful male voice suddenly appeared, and everyone looked at it subconsciously.
Lin Jingchen chuckled: "A Yi, I want to ask them a few questions."
Tian Yan's eyes lighted up at once. The only man in the palace that could persuade the world's grandfather was the world's concubine, who couldn't afford to be seriously ill. At this time, it was only Mrs. Lin who could save them.
"Old lady forgiveness!" They begged Lin Jingchen for a while, thinking about the parents' heart of the doctor. If Old Lady Lin would help persuade the world grandfather, they would be saved!
Seeing this, Xiao Yi frowned and glanced at them impatiently.
Since this incense is poisonous, it either has been bought out or it has been secretly replaced in a small Buddha's hall, and these two reasons can't escape. These few slaves will certainly not know anything about it, but they are deliberately hiding it because they are afraid of being punished and implicated.
He didn't want to deal with a few slaves, wasting time.
If you want to say it, don't want to say it.
However, Mrs. Lin was willing to give them another chance, and Xiao Yi did not stop, revering reverently: "Please, grandfather, please!"
Lin Jingchen turned to look at the women and asked, "Who has been to the Little Buddha Hall in the past twenty days?"
The mother-in-laws looked at each other, and the word "stick stick" seemed to linger in their ears, and they all knew that if the grandfather couldn't judge it today, their life would certainly not be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, the most courageous woman in brown clothes immediately and honestly replied: "Return to the old lady, except for the second concubine, who will go to the Buddhist temple every few days. Mrs., Mrs. Three, and a few girls and sons often go to the Buddhist temple to smell incense, right. On the fifth day of this month, after receiving the news from Lord Shizi, he also went there ... "
The mother-in-law said, thinking, "Is it Mrs. Lin suspecting that someone has quietly changed the ring incense while taking the incense at the Buddhist temple?"
If you think about it, it's not impossible.
On weekdays, when the masters finished the incense, they glanced roughly to see if anything had fallen, or touched the incense candle or something ... At a glance, they saw nothing unusual in the Buddhist temple, and they put The door of the Buddhist temple was closed.
Could it be said that it was really done by a master in the palace?
Several women looked at each other and dared not think about it.
All of them knelt there shivering, and now, still thinking about so many things, it is the key to keep their own lives.
Lin Jingchen was scratching his beard and thinking: the poison in the son-in-law should have been more than half a month, and the king of Zhennan only went to the small Buddhist temple once in the fifth day, and it was not right in time, so it must not be Zhennan king.
As for the others ...
Lin Jingchen thought for a while and asked, "Can you have your registered name and date?"
The ladies looked at each other again, and the Buddha came and went in the church, and he didn't take things from the storeroom.
They racked their brains for a while, and a mother-in-law of Tsing Yi said cautiously: "Back to the old lady, although slaves have not been recorded, but in the last half of the month, which days and who have been slaves still remember. The slaves only knew a few It ’s better to be dictated by a slave, which girl would you please write down? ”
Xiao Yi made a gesture to Bai Hui, and Bai Hui took the mother in Tsing Yi to the west room next door. The rest of the people secretly relieved and wiped the cold sweat on the forehead with the cuff.
If you can escape this catastrophe, you really should go to the temple and worship!
What happened next had nothing to do with Tian Yan, so she was temporarily taken out of the custody, while the other two women were on their knees to stand by.
After they waited for half a cup of tea, they saw Bai Hui and that Qingyi mother-in-law coming out of the west one after another. Bai Hui presented the list to Lin Jingchen respectfully, and Xiao Yi also took it. Look at the list with Lin Jingchen.
After Lin Jingchen quickly scanned the list, he asked, "Which day did the ring incense change?"
"The first day of this month!" Mother-in-law Tsing Yi replied hurriedly, "At that time, the slave-in-law and Mother-in-law changed together."
The other lady in blue was busy nodding and responding.
Lin Jingchen held up his pen, and "brushed" first stroked out several names, such as Xiao Luan, Xiao Che, Qiu's, Xin's, etc. Everyone who went to the Buddhist temple before the first day of this month and after the fifth day of this month Being excluded first, the rest are the names of the second master Xiao Luan and the girls.
After Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen glanced over the list, their eyes fell on Xiao Ni's name. The others had only gone to the Buddhist temple once in the past half month, but Xiao Ni went twice ...
Xiao Yi squinted slightly, and the smelly girl talked to him almost without any mention. Even when he was not in Luo Yue City, Nangong Yu would talk with him in the letter about some household chores. In the impression, Xiao Ni was not in contact with The stinky girl had a bad relationship, and the stinky girl even mentioned that Xiao Ni ’s house was not easy, and she planned to bring her around to teach her ... would it be her?
Lin Jingchen froze his beard, and asked, "I think Xiao San Xiao often goes to the Buddhist temple. Does she usually do the same?"
Several mother-in-laws were stunned, thinking: Is it true that Mrs. Lin suspects it is the three girls?
"Return to the old lady," the mother-in-law of Tsing Yi replied respectfully, "the three girls are filial and often go to the Buddhist temple to perfume the old master and the second master, at least two or three times a month."
"Yeah." The brown-haired lady nodded and echoed, "The three girls are filial and kind to the slaves. Last time, she also gave the Sangrou girl some snacks for the slaves." Among the girls, Xiao Yiqing was unreasonable, Xiao Rongying was pretty, Xiao Ni was a good temper, and she was very kind to the people.
Xiao Yi frowned and asked, "The three girls have divided your snacks? What kind of snacks did she use?"
The mother-in-law of Tsing Yi didn't have time to think about it, and said intuitively, "Oh, food box."
The other two women thought of something, but their faces were a little ugly. Could it be said that ...
Xiao Yi's voice was still a bit colder, and a flash of Le Mans flashed in his eyes: "Every time she goes to the Buddhist temple, she brings a food container? What about other people? Can others have baskets or food containers?" If the poisoned person replaced the ring incense in the Buddhist temple by the opportunity to go to the Buddhist temple, then he would not be able to go to the Buddhist temple empty-handed.
The three women looked at each other again, whispered to each other, and followed the woman in brown clothing, and said, "Return to me, every time the three girls go to the Buddhist temple, they will bring some offerings. In addition to the three girls, that is the concubine Shi , Eldest girl, and second lady sometimes bring a basket, food container, etc. "
Speaking of later, the mother-in-law Brown was already trembling. After hearing the question from the grandfather Shi, was it really the three girls who always harmed the concubine?
The women swallowed, and their hearts lifted instantly, and they knelt down there.
Xiao Ni! Xiao Yi's face was as deep as water. His stinky girl had a good temper. He treated this palace as a family, but he did not expect to raise a white-eyed wolf from white!
"Come here ..."
He was about to bring Xiao Ni, a young girl wearing a blue-blue **** trotting toward the house, crossed the threshold, and yelled: "Sir, old lady, second lady with three girls Come to see Shizi, now the three girls are kneeling outside the yard ... "
Xiaoya's expression was a bit subtle. At this time, the second lady brought the third girl to Bixiaotang, and as soon as the third girl was on her knees, she had to think more.
This little girl is not quite sure yet, but the three women kneeling in the hall are like mirrors-they are really three girls!
Xiao Yi's face was ugly, dreary and cold, and he released his severe murderous spirit again.
For a time, those women-in-laws in the house were afraid of breathing.
The wrath of the emperor, millions of floating corpses, bleeding thousands of miles. With their grandfather's style on the battlefield, that's not much worse!
Xiao Yi slowly said, "Let her come in!" His face was as cold as frost, every word was as cold as ice scum.
The little girl who came to Baobao just trembled when she heard it. After a response, she hurried out.
And some of the women in the hall were dragged down. They were in charge of the small Buddha hall, but they didn't know if the chain incense was changed. This poisonous ring incense will be slightly different from the original one, even burn The degree is different, if they are careful, it is impossible to find.
It is not exaggerated to think of Xiao Yi's character, but Lin Jingchen persuaded him to stop in the name of Nangong Jiujifu, only dragged down and hit fifty boards, and withdrew the errand. Of course, a few mother-in-laws promised nothing but promises. Although they were about to endure the board, they regained their lives in a dangerous way, only in their hearts rejoicing.
After a while, the little girl came with Qiu and Xiao Ni. Both mother and daughter's faces were ugly, especially Xiao Ni. The whole person looked like a swaying flower in the wind and rain, and it was almost withered. Now ...
Xiao Ni's expression and expression are all answers.
Bai Hui's heart sank, and Shi Zifei praised the third girl very much. She said that she was gentle but not strong. How could the third girl do such a vicious thing? !!
In this weird, heavy and delicate atmosphere, the mother and daughter of Qiu's mother and daughter walked side by side into the hall. Xiao Ni didn't dare to look at Xiao Yi at all, and threw a "thump" directly on the hard ground.
Qiu's side stood to meet Xiao Yi's cold eyes.
Speaking of which, Qiu's first visit to Bixiaotang and Nangongyu's courtyard was under such circumstances.
Since the death of Master Xiao Er, Qiu's has been prudent in the palace, and he only hopes to raise a pair of children. In the future, Jiuquan will have an account of Master Xiao Er. Children have been sensible since childhood, and she has been very comforted, but did not want her daughter to have such a disaster!
"My in-laws, my grandson," Qiu Shifu said, and then said aloud, "Sister Ni has something to say ..."
Until this moment, Qiu had some dream-like feelings. Just now, under her own persuasion, her daughter told the truth about the girl Gu ...
The more Qiu's heard, the more shocked he became. Later, the whole person seemed to be immersed in ice water!
The daughter clearly fell into the trap of the other party, and each step of the other party was carefully planned, so that her daughter was trapped in it as if drinking thirst and quenching thirst ...
Qiu ’s heart was overwhelmed by a mountain, and she was distressed. She was distressed to her daughter, but she also knew that the other person was not good. The daughter seemed to be addicted to Gu Gu ’s medicine. I ’m afraid the demand will be stronger in the future. The consequences are unthinkable ... Furthermore, if the daughter does such a wrong thing, if the father of the world wants to investigate, I am afraid he cannot hide it.
Thinking, there was a bitterness in the bottom of Qiu's throat. In the end, it was because he was negligent. He ignored the abnormal situation of his daughter during this time, and blame himself as a mother who did not discipline his daughter. The daughter knows nothing about the private life in the back house, and it will be reduced to the present day.
It's useless to escape, they always have to explain to Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei!
Therefore, Qiu brought Xiao Ni.
Even if this level is not easy, as a mother, she always accompanies her daughter to go through!
I only hope that the grandfather Shi sees a way for their daughters and the second room to take the initiative to confess.
Qiu looked down at Xiao Ni kneeling on the ground, met her helpless eyes, and bowed her head slightly.
Xiao Ni seemed to have gained strength from it, and summoned courage to look at Xiao Yi, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I replaced the ring incense in the Buddhist temple ..."
Her voice was getting softer, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "It was a girl Gu who forced me to do this."
The first encounter with Gu Gu in Huanxi Pavilion was that the other party "approached" with ulterior motives, but on the night of the thirteenth year, he was so stupid that he took the medicine given by a stranger ... Wrong, step by step, and later got stuck in the quagmire. The more I struggled, the deeper I got ...
So that such a great mistake was made.
Xiao Yi stared fiercely at Xiao Ni. The look was like a lone wolf staring at the prey, as if he was going to bite at any time. The fierce atmosphere was daunting.
Girl Gu? !! Bai Hui raised her eyebrows in surprise, and could not help thinking of a person.
After Xiao Yi's permission, Bai Hui asked, "Isn't that the Gu girl in Huanxi Pavilion?"
Xiao Ni nodded gently.
Bai Hui hurriedly told Xiao Yi what happened in Huanxi Pavilion. She only knew that it was Xiao Ni, the girl Gu had "save" the asthma attack. But how Gu girl later got into relationship with Xiao Ni Bai Hui didn't know how to make Xiao Ni do such a thing.
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Ni again. Although he could not wait to kill her with one stroke, he still had many questions to ask her.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and asked, "Xiao Ni, was this girl Gu from you?"
He directly named his surname, apparently not considering Xiao Ni as his sister.
Xiao Ni bit her whitish lower lip and nodded: "... After Girl Gu gave me a ring of incense, she ordered me to put it in a small Buddhist temple ... She vowed that this ring of incense would not endanger Grandma's life. That's why I ... "
She also knew that her speech was so weak, but she really had no other choice. When her "illness" broke out, it was really worse than life, making her anxious to cut herself and another knife ...
At that moment, all she thought about was medicine!
She tried to get through it again and again, but she proved her weakness again and again. For "medicine", she was dying like a worm stuck on the spider web, but she was only getting tighter and tighter ... ...
Thinking of the difficulties in the development of "illness", Xiao Ni's face became even more ugly, and her heartbeat missed a beat.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Ni lowered her head and murmured, "... Brother, I regret it, I really regret it. So I went to the Buddhist temple again on the seventh day of the first day, and originally wanted to change the ring incense Back, I did n’t expect San Mi to be here ... ”She was afraid of being noticed by Mrs. Xiao, and did not dare to replace Huanxiang. After that, she wanted to go to the Buddhist temple again, but she was afraid that she would go too often and cause people to wonder. After a few days, I went again, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, Dasao became ill, and she was very ill ...
It was all her fault!
Xiao Ni's body shook violently, and she felt a sense of coldness rising from her heart ...
Her pale lips trembled, but no one noticed her abnormality, only thinking that she was afraid, because of fear ...
Xiao Yi groaned for a moment, and then asked coldly, "Xiao Ni, where is that girl Gu?"
Xiao Ni shook his head in a hurry, and trembled, "I don't know, every time, Gu Gu came to me ..."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, his eyes were colder, and said, "Since that is the case, then you can draw people out for me!"
His tone was imperative, and Xiao Ni was not meant to question at all.
Xiao Ni's body shivered even more. Although she was afraid, she immediately responded.
The Qiu family beside her could not hide her anxiety, and squeezed her hands tightly with her hands. The girl Gu did not know where she came from. Since she dared to attack the concubine, there might be a party at the side. The daughter rushed to do the bait was bound to be extremely thrilling, but until now, only this method can be used to make her daughter redeem her guilt and let the grandfather breath away ...
At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly looked in the direction of the curtain. The next moment, a curtain sound was heard, followed by a blue figure coming out of the inner room, and walking towards Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen.
"Maternal grandfather, Ai, Xier awake!" Han Qixia said with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and he could no longer care about the people in this house, and immediately strode away, and rushed into the interior room. Lin Jingchen followed into the inner room.
Is Dasao okay? !! Xiao Ni's heart was loose, as if he had lost his support. The whole person collapsed softly, his breathing suddenly became heavier and heavier, his forehead was sweating like rain, and his body was like a shrimp ...
"Three girls!" Sang Rou cried out, her face pale as paper.
