"Master, the side imperial concubine has surrounded the courtyard!" The little maid panicked and her face was as white as paper.
"No way. The news has been cut off. How could she have any clues? " Women's eyes are full of hesitation, the initial affirmation has become a little shaky.
The master and the servant were suspicious. The steward came in to deliver a message, saying that the imperial concubine was going to examine the people in the yard one by one tomorrow afternoon.
As soon as the steward left, the little maid was trembling, and her words were somewhat unstable. "Master, I've been interrogated tomorrow. Isn't there really any evidence on the side imperial concubine's hand?"
"What's wrong! It's just taking someone to ask, can she still extort a confession by torture? "
As long as you keep calm and don't have any evidence, that's just refusing to admit it. What can she do? I've been lurking in the mansion for so many years. I've done a few things that are very obscure and have never been noticed. This time, we must be able to turn the bad luck into good luck and spend it safely.
"If you dare to make a mistake in the examination tomorrow, will you know the consequences? You Laozi Niang still has a large family of people's lives, but they are all in the hands of the Lord. Even if it's revealed, you'll have to stand up and find someone to support you! "
The little servant girl fell to the ground with a thump, and her lips trembled.
The master is a secret chess game cultivated by the rebel party. It took him a year to learn about it. All blame oneself originally greedy, accepted the master son heavy money bribe, often for her private affairs. Later, I accidentally learned that the master was using his own hand to deliver the news to the government, and the other party was not a good man. Although he was afraid of regret, he was in a deep quagmire and could not get away from it.
When the master came to her for a showdown and threatened her family's lives, she realized that she was in a dilemma and could only go to the dark by one way. Since then, he has become the master's pawn, and now he is afraid that retribution will come.
"Master, if things come to the worst, I will accept the charge. Just ask the master to intercede with the Lord for the servants, so that the family can save their lives. " The little servant girl made great efforts to prop up the body paralyzed by fear, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to the upper woman.
"That's it. How could I have the heart to let you die if it wasn't for namushi's pressure. If you want to knock down so hard again, if the skin on the forehead is broken, wouldn't it be more suspicious? I will certainly do what you asked for just now, but you should be very careful when you ask questions tomorrow. The woman is too shrewd to be careful of her tricks
The next day, in the main hall of danruoyuan, Mu Xiyao was followed by a servant girl, who was in charge of affairs and waited for her orders.
"Maid, please give my regards to the side concubine." The four concubines of Lantai and Zhuyin courtyards stood respectfully below, with two maids behind them.
Mu Xiyao's eyebrows swept, intentionally or unintentionally stayed on several people for a long time. The corners of his lips laughed and his right hand lifted and called.
"I didn't intend to avoid calling you here today. You can sit down and listen to some things
In Lantai courtyard, Wu's Kong family is an old man. He has been used to being suppressed by Mu Xiyao. After listening to her voice, he sat down honestly. The rest of the Qi family, a little later than the first two, had a lot of heart and a sense of direction. As for an's family, since entering the prince's residence, apart from breakfast and making rules in the chanruoyuan, they seldom show up. They have been living in close doors all the time, and there are few people walking around each other. They are respectful to Mu Xiyao.
"On the first day of this month, on the night of his Highness's opening his house, the rebel party in Shuzhong once sneaked into the prince's house, intending to assassinate his highness. Later, he failed and died on the spot. " Mu Xiyao spoke slowly. Looking at the people sitting at the bottom one by one, he saw that everyone was over frightened, but he could not see anything unusual.
"My concubine and the concubine of the fifth Royal Highness were also in danger at the waterside pavilion. They were almost murdered and lost their lives."
This is mu Xiyao's deliberate distortion of the facts. The fact that she was bound out of the prince's house was wiped out.
She is not afraid that she should be exposed to lie in public. Now she is worried that she can't find the clue. If someone foolishly jumps out to clarify the facts and accuses him of leading the way for the rebel party and tying Mu Xiyao out of the government, will it not hit her at the muzzle of the gun?
"My servant girl once said that she happened to see a sneaky girl's back at that time. She was suspected to be leading the way for the traitor. She led the two thieves to the waterside pavilion, intending to do something wrong." Mu Xiyao gently stroked her left hand on the table, her eyes deep and quiet.
The person who saw the guide girl's back was not the servant girl mentioned in her mouth, but she herself.
On that day, she was forced to leave with the rebel party. She passed a corner on the road, and suddenly a blushed maid sprang up. She was very nervous to lead the way for the thief. He was very familiar with the path with sparse flow of people in the mansion. He did not speak from the beginning to the end.
Now it is she who is in the light and should be in the dark. No matter how bold she is, she will not dare to refute her words. Naturally, it is what she says and how to count things.
"That night, I could go to the front to guide the bandits. I was as old as that girl. The whole house was left with the second zhuyinlantai courtyard, which had not been investigated. Before that, everyone in those courtyards had provided evidence that they were innocent. Now it's your turn to the courtyard of the four of you. I'll find out if there's anyone making trouble here. "
Mu Xiyao's voice just fell, and her left hand clapped hard and fell on the table.
"You dare to collude with the traitors and assassinate your highness. You have great courage!""If we can find out the detailed works buried in the prince's mansion today, we will immediately tie up the temple and send it to the government for disposal."
Before they could recover from what she had said about the assassination, they saw that the woman sitting at the head of the table had lost her temper and her face was quite different from that before. Now it's grim.
"The servant girl dares to lead the way for the thief. If anyone dares to cover up and excuse him, she will be severely punished. According to the family rules of the prince's house, you dare to collude with outsiders to murder the prince and his side concubine. This is the crime of beheading. "
Mu Xiyao said harshly, and when she came up, she explained it clearly. She scared several women who had not seen the world very well.
Your highness was assassinated! Even the side concubine almost lost her life. It's appalling.
No wonder the whole courtyard was banned a few days ago. It turned out that such a big event happened. It's a pity Why is Mu's life so big?
Now that she was looking for the guide girl so vigorously, it was inevitable that she had no revenge. This matter is not a bit careless, not only can not be involved, but also can not arouse her resentment. Otherwise, if she can't find out the real culprit and plant one randomly, it's not a great injustice?
"If I go back to the side concubine, I did send the maid out that night, but I didn't collude with the traitors, but I went to see the steward of the mansion and beg for my concubine Ask for the monthly tape. Please side imperial concubine's mirror, then the steward should be able to prove the innocence for the servant girl
Qi's face flushed and he quickly cleared away. The charge is too frightening to touch. Although it is a servant girl to commit a crime, but who can guarantee that her master son is not suspected?
"Tell the side concubine, my servant girl also went to the laundry room in front of me to wash my clothes and skirts. She only went out for a moment. She should not have any involvement with the thief."
An Shi was scared to account for the servant girl's whereabouts. She was afraid that it would not be full of details. She didn't even conceal how much Kung Fu she had gone.
The other two servant girls said that they had never gone out and stayed in the yard all the time, and they could also find someone to testify.
"You four are not in a hurry to explain. No one can tell whether there is a detour after going out. This left in the yard, is it really honest to stay, did not leave secretly for a moment? No one can tell, can't you? Besides, there are not a few people in the yard who help each other Mu Xiyao shakes her round fan at leisure, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"This If you want to say this, you can't tell the innocence? Side concubine, is this too harsh? " Kong's face is in a dilemma, and he has explained in this way. Are you not satisfied? Is Mu's intention to seek trouble?
"That's easy." Mu Xiyao's words solved Kong's doubts.
"My servant girl, from childhood to adulthood, her greatest ability is to distinguish people by the sound of her feet. Since she followed me, she has never been at fault. Let your servant girls turn around and walk a few steps. Let her see her figure and listen to her steps. "
Mu Xiyao raised eyebrows, looked at the faces of the four women below, called Mulan up, a pair of waiting to catch people's posture.
Four people look at each other, to side imperial concubine this servant girl ability doubt. If it's true, it's OK. The innocence will be proved immediately. If it's not true, isn't it just a case of being wronged?
"As long as you don't do that shady thing secretly, you don't have to worry about it. My servant girl looks at people. At most, she just pulls out the suspicious person. After that, she needs to examine carefully. The government does not recognize the saying that "listen to the voice and distinguish people". There has to be solid evidence, isn't it? "
Mu Xiyao said so, but most people are relieved. As long as it is not the opinion of a family, but also requires a solid evidence, then this method can also be used.
Only one person was frightened, but he didn't dare to reveal anything on his face. Side imperial concubine also said, even if it is seen out, there is no evidence, also can't be beaten into a move. As long as she was careful to follow the instructions of her master, she would be able to avoid this disaster.
"Mulan, this is the beginning." Mu Xiyao takes the mint tea from Cymbidium and sips it gently. Ask the following people to walk up and down in the main hall two times in front of the crowd.
This weekday walk, no one deliberately watch, no one feel uncomfortable. Now, being watched by several pairs of eyes of the big and small masters, the eight servant girls left that in fear of being caught as a suspect.
All the servants were sweating on their foreheads. They were stiff and turned around for two times. None of them was steady in their steps. They were quite different from those in daily life. Some timid people tremble and almost trip over themselves.
Mu Xiyao looks at several people's awkward appearance, the canthus of his eyes are pumping. The servant girls in the prince's mansion should all be of this standard, and they will not be laughed to death?
Don't mention the prince's house. It's a rich family. The servant girls in that family have not been specially trained and trained. They can choose the best ones. This walking, as a basic skill, how to her danruoyuan turned into a puppet like stumbling?
Is she a witch or something? That's the deterrent? For the first time, Mu Xiyao realized that her reputation in the mansion was not very kind
Let Mulan see people this time, but it is a gimmick, to find a reason for her to act below. These little servant girls were so timid and did not commit any crime. They were shaking like chickens. Is there a ghost in everyone's heart that can't be checked carefully?
Mu Xiyao thinks of the privacy of the back house, and her thoughts are more and more biased. Although she is sitting here, her mind is full of all kinds of ideas. After that, there will be less fighting in the palace? Review from time to time, but also to prevent being dug by others.
