Chapter 406: Beyond Secrets (3)
Gu Feng immediately stared at Dongfang Xiu with cold eyes.

Now, even a fool can understand the meaning of the oriental words.

"Dongfangxiu!" Geng Yuan listened to this analysis, his originally calm and kind face immediately showed bruises, and his eyes burst into a red and frightening light, staring at Dongfangxiu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Unexpected The person who murdered Qi'er turned out to be you!"

"No, no, no..." Facing Geng Yuan's hateful eyes, Dongfang Xiu immediately waved his hands in panic, and said repeatedly: "Don't listen to their nonsense, how could I murder the young master?"

"Yes, didn't the doctor say that there was something wrong with that handkerchief?" Dongfangxiu was so flustered at the moment that she could still think of such an important thing, "I just wiped his hands with the handkerchief, but I didn't You know that veil is poisonous!"

"Master, if you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor to examine my fingers immediately to see if my hands are also contaminated with the seven-step poison." At a loss, she stretched out her hands and waved them in front of the crowd, begging : "If I knew that the handkerchief was poisonous, I would be afraid that I would be poisoned too. It would be impossible to use that handkerchief to wipe the young master's hands again."

Looking at her flustered and innocent expression, Geng Yuan showed a half-believing expression for a while, but the angry expression just now slowed down for a while.

Dongfangyu ignored Dongfangxiu, but turned his eyes lazily, and the corners of his eyes leisurely glanced at the silent lady. Seeing that the lady's expression was restrained and her eyes were complicated, this matter seemed to be full of suspicion.

Geng Yuan didn't speak, Gu Feng gave Dongfang Xiu a cold look, and then said mercilessly: "Doctor, please check her fingers."

According to the results of the doctor's examination, Dongfangxiu's finger also had seven steps of poison remaining.

Now, everyone was silent for a while.

Geng Qi was poisoned because Dongfang Xiu accidentally took the poisoned handkerchief on his body and wiped his hands for him, and then he directly grabbed the plate of pearls and emeralds with the poisoned hand, which led to the poisoning and fell to the ground.

This poisoning process looks like everything happened unintentionally.

"Mrs. Dongfang, may I ask if this handkerchief belongs to the family?" Gu Feng pondered for a while, then figured out the crux of the matter.

Mrs. Ji looked at the handkerchief for a moment, then nodded and said: "My lord, this handkerchief is indeed a property of my mansion; however, I don't know why Young Master Geng is wearing a handkerchief from my mansion."

"It's not easy to know!" Dongfang Yu squinted his bright eyes and looked at Madam leisurely, that flowing and beautiful gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the dark color of Madam's pupils at once, looking straight into her soul .

She stared at his wife for a while, then smiled and said: "Even if the third sister is not always by Young Master Geng's side, there are always other people around him who are waiting for him. Just ask the servants of Young Master Geng, the servant, You can immediately know where Eldest Geng changed his clothes, so the handkerchief he was wearing was also changed at that time."

Madam moved her lips, wanting to say something against it, but after thinking about it for a while, she finally lowered her eyes and did not stop the Oriental speech.

Dongfang Yu glanced at her coolly, then pursed her lips and sneered silently. She knew what Madam wanted to say to evade, but she wanted to say that Mr. Geng was not followed by anyone, but if Madam really If she said that, it would be contradictory to what she said that exposed Rouge before. If this continues, it will only make Gu Feng feel that what she said is less and less credible.

The servant who followed Geng Qi was called Manzi, a very strong, smart young servant.Gu Feng quickly passed Manzi to him and asked him in detail.

"Manzi, now I want to ask you, after your young master came out of Luyi Garden, who took him to change his clothes?" Gu Feng stared straight at Manzi with a majestic and intimidating aura. , "Where did you change your clothes again?"

"Go back to your lord." Manzi lowered his head, his voice full of anxiety, "I searched for a long time before I saw Eldest Young Master coming out of Lvyi Garden. The villain saw that he was dirty, and thought he would return it later. I have to attend the birthday party of the old lady Dongfang, and I can't let him attend in disheveled clothes, so I thought about finding someone to change his clothes."

"On the way the villain took him back to the front yard, I met a mother with a red scar on the left cheek. She said that my wife asked her to come to the young master. At that time, she was surprised when she saw the young master in a mess. , he said that he would take the eldest young master down to change clothes, this is the place to change clothes..."

Manzi turned his head and thought for a while before saying: "The villain remembers that it was in a very simple and secluded wing room on the east side. The little one remembers that after she took the young master away, she refused to let me in. She changed it for the young master herself. clothes."

"A mother with a red scar on the left cheek?" Gu Feng frowned more and more, he murmured, then looked at his wife Ji, and said, "Mrs. Dongfang, the mother he is talking about is from your family." people?"

"A simple and secluded wing in the east?" Madam frowned, tried to think about it, and said, "Manzi, is the place you mentioned very close to the big kitchen in the mansion?"

Manzi rolled his eyes, thought about it carefully, and said a little uncertainly: "It should be near the kitchen, right? I don't know very well, I just remember seeing smoke from a chimney nearby." He frowned, but suddenly called out Surprised and said: "By the way, the villain remembers that when the mother asked me to wait outside, the villain once saw a house full of firewood nearby."

Hearing this, the madam showed a positive look in her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Oh, so the mother with the red scar on the left cheek you mentioned should be Ye Ye who is in charge of firewood in the big kitchen. Mommy."

After Madam finished speaking, she said to Gu Feng apologetically: "Master Gu, I'm really sorry, there are so many people in this mansion, I can't remember it for a while... I wasted your time."

Gu Feng could only wave his hand helplessly, expressing that he didn't mind; afterward, Madam sent someone to go to the big kitchen to summon the mother with a red scar on the left cheek that Manzi said.

After searching Geng Qi's body, everyone changed the interrogation venue to an empty garden outside.

When the mother with a red scar on the left cheek was brought over, Gu Feng sat in the chair with a serious face and a majestic face.He glanced coldly at the small, shriveled woman kneeling at his feet.

Putting on a full official tone, he asked sharply, "Mr. Ye, I heard that you changed the clothes for Young Master Geng?"

"Go back to your lord, it's... a slave." Mother Ye trembled her shoulders, her voice was very low, and her head was almost buried in the ground because of fear.

Gu Feng frowned, and said coldly, "Raise your head and speak."

Forced by his invisible authority, Mrs. Ye had no choice but to slowly raise her head timidly.
