Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 317 Who is the murderer behind it
inside the hall,
Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in blue, still left a line of tears, which was pitiful.

Seeing Lin Daiyu sad, Zhang Jinyu couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but took a few steps forward, trying to comfort her, Lin Daiyu took a step or two back, and replied,
"Thank you, Lord Hou. My father fell asleep yesterday. He just woke up in the morning and fell into a coma. Huh, I don't know what's going on, and my mother is even more so, huh"

Thinking of what happened to her parents, Lin Daiyu burst into tears.
"What, Yun Shi, come here quickly and show Mr. Lin what kind of illness it is."

Zhang Jinyu looked at Lin Ruhai on the bed in disbelief. She thought Master Lin was sleeping soundly just now, but she didn't expect it to be so serious, so she hurriedly called Gu Yunshi in.

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Gu Yunshi, who was outside the next stall, walked in with a big medicine box on his back, then quickly walked to the bed, opened the medicine box, took out a set of silver needles, and then pointed at Lin Ruhai's neck, head, etc., slowly stabbed the needles, and stuck them in Afterwards, Gu Yunshi's face was solemn, he turned his head a little uneasy, and opened his mouth a few times, unable to speak.

Zhang Jinyu asked anxiously when he saw it;
"How is Mr. Lin? If you have anything to say, please tell me."

When Gu Yunshi saw Miss Lin who was still crying, he couldn't bear to say;
"Master Hou, you should see for yourself."

I saw Gu Yunshi taking out Lin Ruhai's hand from under the quilt, which turned a little blue, and then inserted it with a silver needle, and blood dripped out. Then the silver needle turned slightly black. Zhang Jinyu and Eunuch Zhao also stepped forward to see clearly. Onlookers saw the silver needle turning black, and Eunuch Zhao screamed sensitively;

"What, this is poisoning. Mr. Lin is not sick, he was poisoned. You are so courageous, Zajia. If Zajia catches who poisoned him, he will definitely make his life worse than death."

Eunuch Zhao is the least likely to see poisoning in the palace. They are the ones who can't get on the table and make bad decisions, but they are also the most effective. After seeing a lot, he is quite sensitive to poisoning. Seeing Master Lin being poisoned is also the same. Angry from the heart, how can the emperor explain it.

Lin Daiyu heard that her father was poisoned, and her mother must be the same. She couldn't accept it for a while and she would faint. When Zhang Jinyu saw it, she hurried over and hugged Lin Daiyu who was about to fall.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, Yunshi, come and have a look."

"Yes. Lord Marquis."

Gu Yunshi directly took two silver needles, and pierced them towards the middle of the ear and the earlobe, and as soon as the silver needles were pulled out, Lin Daiyu woke up, her face was filled with grief, and she couldn't help but cry out.

"Miss Lin, don't be anxious. Let the medical officer treat your father first. Then I will find out the traitor in the Lin family. How about I give you an explanation, or you can avoid me and go out to find him."

Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu suddenly put away her tears, supported Zhang Jinyu's arm and stood up, and the maid Xueyan behind her hurried over to help her;
"Miss, are you alright?"

"It's okay. Ahem, I'll trouble you, Mr. Marquis. The little girl doesn't need to avoid it. I also want to see who from the Lin family wants to poison her parents."

"This,"

Zhang Jinyu was also shocked when she saw Sister Lin standing up suddenly, but she also knew that Lin Daiyu was not a vase. Although the Lin family was sparsely populated, it was a family of bells and tripods, but it was also a family of scholars.

He nodded solemnly and said,

"Yunshi, you stay here for the time being and heal first. Find a way to wake Master Lin up. Ben Hou will take Miss Lin out to meet the spy hiding in the house for a while. Miss Lin, please."

Lin Daiyu also tidied up her Luoqun Tsingyi, nodded, and followed Zhang Jinyu to the outside of the block. Eunuch Zhao behind him also reacted quickly and said,
"Master Hou, I also want to see who is so desperate to murder the imperial court official."

Eunuch Zhao is also gnashing his teeth, the reason is that the poisoned person, as long as the disease reaches the bone marrow, there are very few people who can be saved, so even if Mrs. Lin wakes up, it will be a disaster, and the emperor will lose an important humerus. Minister.

Zhang Jinyu walked slowly in front of Lin Daiyu, Xueyan supported Miss Lin and walked at the end, but Eunuch Zhao walked ahead angrily.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a hundred or so servants in Lin's house. The servants were all kneeling on the ground. Many of them had frightened faces and didn't know what had happened.

Ji Yunhui and the people from the Imperial City Division had already surrounded the surroundings, and those who dared to move and escape must not be able to escape.

"I report to Lord Hou, Grand Duke, all the servants, servants and cooks of the Lin family are here, and no one slipped through the net."

"Okay, Ji Qianhu has worked hard."

Zhang Jinyu nodded, and then looked at the people kneeling on the ground. They were all plump, rosy, and well-dressed. They didn't look like a servant, but they felt like they were the same as the Jia family. .

"Miss Lin, take a look here, is there anyone who doubts?"

Zhang Jinyu didn't deal with it first. She turned around and asked Lin Daiyu, who was still slightly sad, to see if she had anyone she suspected. Lin Daiyu also wiped her tears with a handkerchief, nodded slightly, and then raised her eyes to look at the kneeling people on the ground.

Those familiar faces, I really couldn't tell who was the poisoner, they were all the old people in the house, and the mothers who came from the mother's family as a dowry.

But when she thought of her parents' misery, Lin Daiyu felt sad and tried to stabilize her mind. She still screened them one by one, but how could she know?

"Master Hou, I really can't tell the difference between the girls, they are all the old people in the house"

Before the words were finished, there were tears again, Zhang Jinyu hurriedly persuaded;

"Miss Lin, let's watch for now. Ben Hou will come to ask, and the spy will not be able to escape."

"Hey, Lord Marquis, let's leave this matter to the Zajia family. The matter of poisoning is nothing more than the fact that these people have access to food and medicinal foods. In the palace, there are a lot of records about this in the previous dynasty."

When Eunuch Zhao saw these people, he was furious from the heart, and even the master dared to harm him, without any sense of inferiority, so Zhang Jinyu hesitated a little, and agreed;

"Then please trouble Eunuch Zhao."

"Master Hou, it's a small matter."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Zhao walked down, and then said to the kneeling man;

"The seal of the Zajia Yuma Supervisor, Zhao Si, you have a chance to live today, tell me who poisoned Master Lin, as long as you stand up, the Zajia can spare you and save your life."

The servants in Lin's mansion were all whispering among each other, but no one answered, Mr. Zhao's smiling face looked extremely gloomy,

"You don't have to drink a toast, but the miscellaneous family gave you a chance. Come, Ji Qianhu, and pull out the people from Mr. Lin's house, the kitchen, and the people around you."

"Yes, Grand Duke."

With a wave of Ji Yunhui's hand, the people from the Imperial City Department rushed over and dragged those people out of the crowd. Many people were so frightened that they repeatedly begged for mercy.

"My lord, the little one is not a spy."

"My lord, please be more careful. The little one doesn't know anything."

"Take ten lashes first, and the miscellaneous family will go to them first to get rid of their anger."

"Yes, Grand Duke, you come here to carry out the execution."

After finishing speaking, the people from the Imperial City Division tied up these people, then took out their whips and whipped them hard.

"Crack, crack,"

The whip pierced into the flesh, the sound pierced the ears, and the screams were extremely miserable. The servants in the house were all afraid to watch, but Lin Daiyu had never seen such a bloody scene before, her face turned pale, and her hands were tightly squeezed together. Seeing Zhang Jinyu comforted in a low voice;

"Miss Lin, you don't have to be kind. The master's family is like this. These servants are eating for nothing. They live so comfortably. Is it a serious crime? Let them wake up first."

Lin Daiyu seemed to understand, although she couldn't bear it, she still stood there stubbornly and nodded,

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the little girl can hold on."

"Ah, stop fighting, stop fighting, I have something to say."

suddenly,

A boy who was beaten and rolled on the ground suddenly spoke, and Eunuch Zhao's eyes lit up,
"stop,"

The surrounding soldiers of the Imperial City Division stopped their whips, and Zhao Si walked over with a smile and asked;
"Tell me, what's the matter, the miscellaneous family can let you go."

"Hey, father-in-law, the master's medicine is all boiled in the kitchen, and the little one is responsible for bringing it over, and then the people who serve the master and madam will feed the medicine. The little one can guarantee that these medicines will never leave the little one's sight in the middle." , so if there is a problem with my little guess, it must be when it was brewing or when I was feeding the medicine, and everything I said was true."

The boy's face was distorted in pain, and while he was talking about the process of delivering medicine to the house, Mr. Zhao Si also thought about it. The poison must be mixed with the medicine. If it was in the meal, most of the people in the house and Ms. Lin would also It should have been poisoned, but it didn't, which means that the poison was in the boiled medicine.

"Well, that's right. Then tell me, who is brewing the medicine in the kitchen, or who is feeding the medicine around me?"

"The little ones know, know. It's them."

The servant pointed to the beaten nuns and maids behind him, there were six of them, Eunuch Zhao looked over with a smile,

"Understood, come here, untie him first."

"Yes, Grand Duke."

The people from the Huangcheng Division lifted the boy up, loosened the rope and stood aside, while those women found out alone.
"What do you say? Do you have anything to say?"

The six people looked at the one in front of them, and the cold eunuch looked at him in fear,

"Yes, yes, father-in-law, the two little girls are preparing medicine for the master's family, but it is not us who need the medicine. It is she who gives the medicine to us two."

"Yes, it's sister Xiaocui. It's for the two of us. We're only responsible for making the medicine."

The two little girls below were crying and shouting, the other maids and mothers were silent, kneeling there sobbing in pain, but the woman named Xiaocui sneered.

"Oh, that's it, then tell me what's going on, Miss Xiaocui?"

When Eunuch Zhao saw Xiaocui's servant girl, she was so stubborn, the person who poisoned her, or someone who knew about it, was almost inseparable, and it was this person.

Unexpectedly, this girl named Xiaocui didn't say a word, but let out a harsh "bah",
"You are the thief!"

"Be brave, come here, hang this thief up, and give the miscellaneous family a good beating."

Zhao Si, Eunuch Zhao never thought that he would be humiliated by a maid in this way, trembling with anger, he immediately got up and kicked him, and then shouted at his confidant.

"Yes, Grand Duke."

The guards of the Imperial City Division also came quickly, and smashed the woman hard with the back of a knife, Xiao Cui let out a muffled snort.

After grabbing Xiao Cui's long hair and dragging her to the tree, she tied it up and hung it on a tree, then took out a whip and beat her hard, bloodstains appeared on the woman's body, soaked in blood after a while , following the woman's scream, she passed out.

"Stop, come and wake up the miscellaneous family."
