A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 109 Who is the Murderer
Taohua chose to be silent.

Although Duan Yunxin's words sounded right, but with witnesses, even if she couldn't be convicted, then she was still suspected.As for how to investigate the case, that's the yamen's business, and she doesn't need to worry about it.

"Ms. Ginger!"

When the atmosphere was tense, a servant girl ran in from outside, panting and said: "The yamen is here!"

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!With a slightly relaxed expression, Tao Hua hurriedly asked people to come in and talk.

"The prime minister is not here, and the mistress of your mansion is not here?" It was a head catcher who came and asked after saluting.Gu Huairou glanced at him, pointed to Jiang Taohua: "If you have anything to say, just tell this lady."

"Yes." The catcher bowed his head and said, "During the re-examination of the autopsy, some blood was found under Liu Shi's nails. According to inference, most of the people who killed Liu Shi had scratched their faces or hands. If the murderer is a member of the family People, I implore my wife to check the traces."

face or hands?Qingmo was taken aback, then stretched out her hand and pointed outside and said, "When we entered here just now, didn't the servant in the yard have a wound on his face?"

"Which one?" Taohua looked back at her in surprise.

Without further ado, Qingmo flew out and grabbed a servant who was still weeding at the gate of the yard, and brought them to the crowd and said, "Just now, the servant accidentally glanced at him and saw that there was a wound on his face...is it such a wound?" ?”

Duan Yun was startled, and stepped forward to look at the house slave. There was indeed a nail scratch on the right cheek.

"How come?!" she asked angrily.

The house slave trembled in fright, and whispered: "The one who got into a fight with someone..."

His eyes were flustered, and it seemed that he was lying. The head catcher who had been handling the case for many years immediately had him taken down, looked carefully and said, "I'm afraid this person will be taken back to the Yamen for interrogation."

Pupils shrunk slightly, Duan Yunxin finally sensed something was wrong, and murmured in a low voice: "Who played tricks on me?"

She didn't kill people, but she knew that Liu Xiangjun's death was not easy, and she thought that it would be beneficial and harmless to get rid of Qin Huaiyu, but who knew how the fire caught her?
Turning her gaze, she looked at Jiang Taohua next to her.

If anyone in this yard can push her into such a trap, then it can only be her, right?

"Miss Duan, I know what you're thinking." Tao Hua sighed, "But I still want to say that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I'm just looking for the murderer."

"Who can you convince my lady?" With a slight smile, Duan Yun pursed her lips: "Who doesn't know that my lady has a heart and a clever mind. No one who offends you will end well. I thought An Yu Yiyu, if you don't provoke a lady, you won't be missed, who knows, you still can't escape!"

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Taohua shook her head helplessly: "Believe it or not, I really have no intention of harming you. The investigation is a matter for the yamen. If they think that the murderer is you, then I can't help it. If it is not you, then I will Never did anything wrong.”

"Okay, then let them investigate." Duan Yunxin lowered her eyes and said, "The final result is up to the master. I don't believe in your tricks, you can deceive the master together!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to the house, asking He'er to close the door.

With a "bang", Gu Huairou sighed, "It's rare that Mrs. Duan is so excited."

"The water has flooded to the door of the house, so it's no wonder she isn't excited." Shaking her head, Tao Hua muttered, and politely sent the yamen people out, watching them take the slave away together.

"Oh, this matter is complicated." Gu Huairou followed her away from Shouyun Pavilion regretfully, and said in a low voice, "It would be great if the evidence was more convincing. If it kills her, she won't be able to turn over. It's a pity that this little evidence , she will definitely be able to get rid of the crime in front of the Lord."

Slightly raising her eyebrows, Tao Hua asked her: "How do you know that?"

Gu Huaiju said: "Don't you even think of this? The Duan family has always been quiet in the mansion, and she is quite popular with the master. He said that she doesn't fight or grab, and she is a worry-free person. Now that the matter has happened to her, the evidence is not very good. Well, as long as she said that she was framed, how could the Lord convict her of any crime?"

"Yes." Taohua nodded: "She will be convicted very seriously."

"You're joking." Gu Huairou shook his head: "Even I can see that there is something wrong with this, how could you not see it?"

Taohua smiled lightly, thinking that even if there was no evidence this time, Shen Zaiye might let Duan Yunxin come out to take the blame in the end, but these women couldn't understand it. I really thought Shen Zaiye had any feelings for them and would believe it. they?
Duan Yunxin really thinks so, no matter how much she calculates, she always calculates among women, and never thinks of getting her mind set on Shen Zaye. Firstly, she dare not, and secondly, she can't either.In her heart, Shen Zaiye is an omnipotent and tender prime minister like a god. Although he was a little cruel to the people in the backyard before, they deserved it.

And she is completely wronged now, no matter what Xiangye said, it is impossible to convict her immediately, and she still has a chance to clear herself of her injustice.

Such thoughts were shattered when Shen Zaiye returned home.

Everyone was called to Linwuyuan. Shen Zaye came back from the palace with a very bad expression on his face. Even the people who stood the farthest could feel the anger from Xiangye, let alone Jiang Taohua beside him.

Taohua is actually not timid at all, really, she is quite courageous.But for some reason, every time she felt Shen Zaiye's hostility, her legs would tremble uncontrollably.

"Master?" After explaining the situation, seeing that he was silent, Taohua bit the bullet and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Shen Zaiye raised his head, his eyes were gloomy and gloomy, and said indifferently: "The yamen has sent someone to tell me that the captured house slave has confessed that he obeyed his master's order and hanged Mrs. Liu in an attempt to create the illusion of suicide. Put blame on the Qin family to drive her out of the house."

His eyes fell on Duan Yunxin, and he chuckled lightly: "It's really something Yunxin can do."

Isn't it what His Royal Highness King Yu really wants to do to drive away the Qin family and cut off the connection between him and Qin Tingwei?

Duan Yun frowned, even kneeling, her body was straight: "I didn't do it, I didn't want to kill someone."

"If I remember correctly, Liu Shiyi is the closest to you in this yard." Shen Zaiye said: "I was close to Huairou before, but for some reason I abandoned Huairou and followed you."

Few people in the courtyard knew about this, not even Peach Blossom.Hearing what Shen Zaye said, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Huairou.

Gu Huairou was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I knew she had climbed a high branch, but I didn't know who it was. There are many people in the Liu family who love to curry favor, and Duan alone doesn't have much contact with Mrs. Duan. I thought Mrs. Duan was too low-key, so she couldn't flatter her, so..."

Duan Yun frowned and clenched her hands tightly. After a while, she said: "She has a lot of depression in her heart, and she can't tell others. She just likes to talk to my concubine. It's not close."

"Didn't she still talk to you the day before her accident?" Shen Zaiye rubbed his brows: "Maybe she really wants to befriend you, but you are so cruel. In order to get rid of dissidents, you even would choose to kill her."

"I don't have one!" Duan Yun gritted her teeth: "I have been eating fast and praying to Buddha all the time, how could I have the intention to kill someone?"

"The executioners in the yamen are all offering sacrifices to the Bodhisattva at home." Qin Huaiyu curled his lips: "It's because they have done too many murders, and they ask the Bodhisattva to bless them to avoid being entangled with wronged souls."

"You..." Opened her mouth, Duan Yunxin felt that she was inexplicable, she was innocent, and other evidences were not enough to fear, but Xiangye didn't seem to believe her.

Could it be that what he did before was discovered?Impossible, she can be sure that no one will know, and no one will find out, even if the prime minister suspects, there is no evidence, so how could it be her fault?

Unless... Jiang Taohua said something to Grandpa!
Thinking of this, Duan Yunxin raised her head and glanced at Taohua, her eyes were full of resentment: "Madam Jiang and I have no grievances and no enmity, even if Madam doesn't remember the kindness of helping each other at the tea tasting party earlier, she has to be reasonable. How can you force it on me for something I haven't done?"

Taohua looked puzzled: "What's none of my business?"

If you stand by and don't speak, you will be dragged into it?From the beginning to the end, she did nothing but use a Taoist priest to try to defraud her!Now it is Shen Zaiye who is going to ask her the crime, how much money does she have to do with her?
"If it wasn't for you, why would you think that I really killed the person?" Duan Yun frowned: "My lord is not such a person who would wrong people."

It is true that he is not a person who can wrong people, but a beast who can wrong people.Taohua curled her lips, and took a look at Shen Zaye, which means you come by yourself, I'll rest.

With a dark face, Shen Zaiye said impatiently: "What does the result of the Yamen's trial have anything to do with others? If you don't accept it, go to the Yamen to talk. The arresters outside are already waiting, and the Liu family also wants to explain it to you. Let Lord Duan and Lord Liu go to the Yamen of the capital to confront each other, I don't care about this matter."

Taking a deep breath, Duan Yunxin couldn't understand: "Master, why are you doing this? It's obvious that I was wronged..."

"Do you have evidence to prove your innocence?" Shen Zaiye pursed his lips: "Now both witnesses say you are the murderer."

"I..." Thinking of something, Duan Yunxin's eyes lit up: "The night when Mrs. Liu's accident happened, my concubine was in my yard all the time. Apart from asking people to send incense to Linghanyuan, other people also I haven't been out. Is this evidence?"

"You and the people in your yard have gone out, only you know." Shen Zaiye said: "It doesn't count."

"The lady can also testify for me." Duan Yunxin pursed her lips: "I didn't lie, I did go to deliver incense that night, after the curfew, the nursing home in the mansion must have never bumped into anyone in my yard again !"
