After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 250 The only way to confess is to save your life
Da Li didn't care where the two strange faces in front of him came from, as long as Xie Qian was not happy, he would be happy.

There was a smile on his always gloomy face, and for a moment his face was a little distorted: "Master Lin and Master Yao? They are really young and promising..."

Lin Rong didn't speak, but Yao Chao nodded with a smile, his flooded peach eyes were full of respect, and he said humbly, "Don't dare."

Mr. Zhao glanced at Xie Qian suspiciously, and carefully looked at Lin Rong's face...

Eunuch Da had a bad heart, so he took a step forward, skillfully blocking Master Zhao's view, so as not to let him notice the similarity between Lin Zhi and Xie Qian.

Mr. Zhao looked at Lin Rong for a while, but he didn't think about his blood, but he just felt that Lin Rong's way of avoiding strangers was very similar to Xie Qian's annoying expression.

He had the same idea as Mr. Li, as long as it wasn't Xie Qian who came to investigate the case, he didn't care who would come instead.

There was a smile on Mr. Zhao's fat face, and he said to Dagong: "Since Eunuch has passed on the Holy Majesty's oral order, Zhao will naturally have no objection. Just thank you sir..."

This is a big matter, he originally thought that Xie Qian would not agree to let the two new strangers investigate the case, who would have thought that the latter did not object fiercely as he imagined.

I saw Xie Qian flicking his sleeves heavily, but without saying anything, he walked towards the main hall with a cold face.

Da Gonggong faced the stupefied two people and said with a smile: "You two adults, please?"

Seeing this, Li and Zhao had no choice but to follow Da Gonggong to the front hall...

Only Lin Zhi, Yao Chao and the young eunuch A Le were left outside the martial arts arena.

A Le saw Da Gonggong's attitude towards Lin Wei and Yao Chao with his own eyes, and heard what he said, he only thought that the Holy Father really valued the two newcomers who had just taken office, and asked them to investigate the case.

Immediately, the tone of the two people's words became more respectful: "My lords, the place where the accident happened is just ahead, do you want to follow the younger one to have a look?"

Yao Chao smiled and nodded.

Ah Le quickly brought the two of them to the Martial Arts Field. The Royal Martial Arts Field was much smaller than the training place for soldiers from the outskirts of Qingtong Town. Lin Roe glanced at it and roughly saw the size of the field.

Yao Chao said politely: "Eunuch Le, I also hope that Mr. Le will pass on a person who was present when the Holy Majesty fell from the horse, so that he can help us investigate the case."

Ale hurriedly said: "That's natural, that's natural. The two adults wait here for a while."

After all, he got up and went to the place where the relevant person was temporarily detained.

Normally, the palace is not so quiet, not to mention the people coming and going, there are guards in every position.

The news of the emperor's fall from the horse is still hidden, and all the courtiers present in the martial arts arena have been locked up, so the huge martial arts arena was so empty that only Lin Rong and Yao Chao were left.

Taking advantage of the absence of people around, Yao Chao exchanged ideas with Lin Rong in a low voice: "Ah Rong, what do you think of Master Zhao and Master Li?"

Lin Zhi frowned slightly, and asserted: "They won't be the ones who do it."

Yao Chao smiled, very satisfied that the two of them had the same opinion so far: "These two adults obviously have a lot of conflicts with Mr. Xie...It is precisely because of this that they were pushed out to be the gunmen."

Lin Wei said in a deep voice: "The people behind the scenes have a way to pass on the news, either the palace servants or the guards."

It can be passed on to Concubine Jing through the mouth of the palace servants, Concubine Jing will naturally have a way to inform the Zhao family; and Mr. Li still has some prestige among the guards, there will always be a few subordinates following him...

This analysis is not wrong.

Yao Chao nodded.

Lin Zhi looked around, and together with Yao Chao, he began to examine carefully in the martial arts arena.

Not long after, A Le walked over with a palace servant dressed as a rough envoy.

When the man saw Lin Rong and Yao Chao, he knelt down and saluted, "Little Ah Yun, I have seen two adults."

The little eunuch A Le said from the side: "It is the person who is in charge of looking after the horses today. The horses in the martial arts arena are raised and guarded by special personnel. The horse chosen by the emperor today is in charge of A Yun."

Yao Chao said to A Le in a warm voice, "Thank you, Father-in-law."

A Le dared not dare, then turned back and said sternly to A Yun: "The emperor fell off the horse today, you horse watchers are all capital crimes! The two adults will investigate today, and they must know everything and say everything. Whether you can save your life or not depends on this moment!"

Ayun nodded hurriedly.

Lin Zhi looked solemn, and asked first: "How did you see what happened today?"

The imminent punishment made his thoughts confused, Ayun wanted to tell all he knew, but his thinking was not enough to support him to fully describe what happened.

The majesty of Lin Rong made him terrified, and at the same time he found his clue...

He stumbled and told the general story of the incident: "Emperor, when the emperor came to ride a horse, the horses beside the stables were not very energetic. Only this horse I raised came to the emperor when he saw the emperor. At that time, the emperor also boasted I lost my slave, and said that in the entire stable, only the slave’s horses are well-raised..."

Seeing that he often missed the point, Ah Le couldn't help urging: "What are you talking about with this screwdriver! Why don't you pick up the important ones!"

Ayun trembled, and just about to stop, he heard Yao Chaowen say: "It's okay. Ayun continued, what you said is very useful. At least we can infer whether the horses in the stables were already gone before the emperor went to the stables." There is a difference."

Ah Yun was puzzled, and the little eunuch A Le was also a little confused.

Lin Roe didn't intend to explain too much, but asked A Le: "Where are the horses now?"

A Le hurriedly replied: "Except for the frightened horse, which was locked up alone, the other horses are still in the stable."

Lin Roe asked again, "Has anyone touched any horses since the accident?"

This time it was Ayun who rushed to say: "No, no! After your Majesty fell off the horse, the whole martial arts arena was sealed up by Da Gonggong, and all the people in the martial arts arena were also imprisoned in one place... Of course, there were no people on the horses. moved."

Ale also echoed: "That's true. There are always guards outside the martial arts arena, and no one can get close."

Yao Chao and Lin Rong had always been in a tacit understanding, followed his train of thought, and said to A Le: "Please, Mr. A Le, take someone who understands horses to check the remaining horses in the stables, whether there is any abnormality of using drugs. This matter is delayed. No, can the father-in-law deal with it now?"

Ale was at a loss, and he couldn't figure out what the two of them meant: "Shouldn't the horse that took medicine be the one His Majesty rode..."

Yao Chao asked back, "Did you find anything unusual about His Majesty's horse?"

Ale was taken aback, and shook his head: "That's not true. The veteran who knows horses and the imperial doctor in the palace have seen it, and said that there is nothing wrong with the horse."

Yao Chao said patiently: "Anyone with a little intelligence will use a method that is difficult to find out to tamper with His Majesty's horse. But how can he ensure that the horse His Majesty chooses is the one he tampered with?" If you use medicine on the nearby horse, and then find a way to make the tampered horse take the initiative to get close to His Majesty, the goal will naturally be achieved."

Ah Le and Ah Yun suddenly realized, and the latter exclaimed: "No wonder...it seems to be the ambergris on His Majesty's body!"

Seeing that his train of thought was gradually becoming clear, and clues were found by peeling off cocoons, Yao Chao asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Ayun seemed to have thought of it suddenly, his voice was raised a lot, and his speech speed was also much faster: "A fellow of mine sent me some spices more than a month ago, saying that they put some spices in when feeding the horses, and the horses will be fed in the future. I will get closer to the master later...but the feeding of the imperial horse was not perfect, so the little one declined his kindness."

Ale's heart was raised high, and then fell heavily. He said anxiously: "You really don't need this incense? If it's not useful, why would Yu Ma take the initiative to get close to His Majesty today as you said?"

Ayun argued: "I dare not add anything to the royal horse's food! It's just that my fellow villager said that this spice is hard to come by, even if you don't feed it to the horse, you can use it yourself..."

The eunuchs who work in the palace like to use spices very much.
.
It's all because of their physical disabilities, and they strictly control their drinking and defecation on weekdays. Occasionally, they drink too much water and become incontinent.

In addition, they do not often have the conditions to bathe and clean, and the smell on their bodies is even more unacceptable.

Out of helplessness, most eunuchs would use spices with a strong taste to cover the taste.

Yao Chao didn't comment much on this, but said to A Yun: "Can I borrow your spices for a test?"

Ayun hastily took out a small sachet from his body and handed it to Yao Chao: "Master Yao, please."

Yao Chao took it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, then put his hand on the tip of Lin Zhi's nose, and said to him, "It smells very similar to ambergris."

Lin Zhi frowned slightly, and said affirmatively, "This is Ambergris."

Ale's complexion changed, and he asked Ayun: "You are so courageous! How dare you, how dare you commit the following crime! Did you participate in today's matter?!"

When Ah Yun heard that the spice on his body was ambergris, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and cried, "I don't dare! Using ambergris without permission is a death penalty! How dare a slave? It's just a matter of fact." I don’t know, but I think this spice smells good, so I dare to put it on my body! This slave really doesn’t know!”

Ah Le was still waiting to speak, but he heard Yao Chao say, "Eunuch Le, I'm worried about spices right now, I'm afraid I'll miss more clues instead. Can Eunuch Le send someone to inspect the horses?"

Only then did the little eunuch remember that Yao Chao had just mentioned about the other horses in the stable...

Seeing that Yao Chao and Lin Wei had already analyzed so many clues in just a few words, he had long admired the two of them, and he naturally had [-]% trust in Yao Chao's request.

A Le quickly responded: "My lord, don't worry, the people who inspected the horses before noon are still there, I will go to find Eunuch Da and arrange for them to inspect the horses again!"

The little eunuch left in a hurry, and Yao Chao said to A Yun, "Using ambergris without authorization is indeed a capital offense, but I believe that you are ignorant of this matter. Now the only way to confess is to save your life."

Ayun's face was already full of tears, and Yao Chao's gentle words eased the despair in his heart. He cried silently, "Thank you, my lord. I only hope that Ayun will be convicted, and don't drag his family..."

Lin Zhi didn't speak, and stood next to Yao Chao, looking deep into the distance, thoughtfully...
