Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

The trial of the case fell into a stalemate for a while.

The jailer saw that Mrs. Wei brought the wine, and almost all the wine they drank was bought by Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wu is not as good as Mrs. Wei, so it is basically a companion drink.

Mrs. Wei drinks at a roadside tavern, and it takes about half an hour to walk from the tavern to the Yamen. If she has given medicine on the way, she has plenty of time, but there are no surveillance cameras on the roadside in ancient times. If you want to meet a witness , like finding a needle in a haystack.

What's more, even if she bought the wine, Mrs. Wu can't rule out the suspicion just like this. If she wants to poison the wine jar, it takes a moment to see the right opportunity.

Before there is any definite evidence, both of them are suspected.

——You can’t torture both wives until one of them admits to killing someone.

Luo Lanye is not a stupid official, if he tried the case like this, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple at a young age.

He thought for a while, and was going to order the two women to be detained first, and the case will be postponed for retrial.

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Chen cupped his hands, expressing that he had something to say.

Luo Lanye motioned for him to come over.

Bai Chen walked over, bowed and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have an idea, maybe you can try it."

Luo Lanye smiled, "Say."

……

The two wives were beaten, and they knew they couldn't cry and scream, and now they all knelt quietly in front of the hall.

Luo Lanye ordered the yamen servant, "Let them all stand up."

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu were carried by the yamen servants, one on the left and the other on the right, and they barely stood up.

At this time, Bai Chen came out from the back hall with a bowl, and stopped in front of them. The two women had terrified expressions on their faces, not knowing what they were going to do.

"One of the two of you must be the murderer," Luo Lanye said, staring at the two women, "the murderer's hands must have been stained with some blood when he killed the man last night, and what Master Bai took was a bowl of divine blood. Water, as long as it has been stained with blood, even if it is cleaned afterwards, as long as it is sprayed with Shenshui, there will be traces of blood."

"Extend your hand." Bai Chen said calmly, "You will know immediately who is lying and who is innocent."

Mrs. Wei stretched out her hand immediately, but Mrs. Wu's hand shrank back a little, with a very terrified expression.

Bai Chen immediately reached out and grabbed Mrs. Wu's hand, and she screamed, "No, no!"

Luo Lanye saw this scene clearly, and he slapped the gavel, "Mrs. Wu, you are the one who killed people, what else do you have to say!"

Mrs. Wei cursed, "You bitch, why did you kill someone! You still framed me after killing someone, no wonder you were killed by lightning!"

"Put Mrs. Wei down first." Luo Lanye rubbed his temples, "I have a headache."

Bai Chen also suddenly thought of whether he could use the stalk of Lumino's reaction to defraud them.

Mrs. Wu is a market woman, guilty of killing people, and very superstitious, she was bluffed by Bai Chen's "fairy water", and she immediately showed her flaws.

Before Luo Lanye gave him a severe punishment, Mrs. Wu recruited him.

Not long after she left the house yesterday evening, she was stopped by two men in black in an alley.

The man in black told her that her only son was in their hands now, and if they didn't want him to die, they would kill the two female prisoners under her care.

Mrs. Wu naturally didn't believe what they said at first, but the two men in black took out a piece of jade Guanyin, which his son had worn around his neck since he was a child. Not only that, they also showed her a piece of little finger, the finger's There is a mole at the root.

Mrs. Wu almost fainted on the spot, this is her son's finger!She cried and begged them not to kill her son, she was willing to kill for them.

The men in black also provided her with medicine and methods to kill people, but from the beginning to the end, the two men in black covered their faces, and she didn't dare to ask who they were.

"Damn me, damn me!" Mrs. Wu kowtowed desperately, "But if I don't kill them, they will kill my son!"

"Your son, I'm afraid he was already dead when you saw his finger." Bai Chen said, "They are always cruel and ruthless when they do things."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu screamed and passed out.

……

The matter has come to this point, whether it is the poisoning murder case in the Jiang Mansion or the brother murder case in the Wang Mansion, the murderer has been found and punished, but the Qilin Workshop involved behind it is still a mystery.

If the clue is broken, even if you want to check it, it will be quite difficult.

Jiang Shangshu didn’t want his family’s ugliness to be publicized, saying that the matter ended with Mrs. Wu, and he didn’t want to pursue it any further. He kept putting pressure on Mr. Hu, the Minister of Dali Temple. Mr. Hu saw that the murderer had already subdued the law, and he had an explanation to his superiors. He didn’t want to cause trouble, nor did he want to The relationship with Jiang Shangshu became tense, so he ordered Luo Lanye to close the case.Coupled with the fact that the murder case of Emperor Dehui's harem had reached a critical moment of investigation, Luo Lanye could only shelve the case temporarily.

No matter what, it is true that the case of Jiang Shangshu's mansion has been solved. Mrs. Jiang is the imperial wife appointed by Emperor Dehui. The concubine's murder of the imperial wife and the son is a big case. When Luo Lanye reported it, he found important clues. Bai Chen was credited with another merit, and made a wave of presence in Emperor Dehui's anger.

Bai Chen was praised by Emperor Dehui, although he had no chance to hear it.

Luo Lanye specially let him take a long vacation, let him recuperate at home for the new year, and wait for the arrangement from above.

——Bai Chen understands the meaning behind the words, he seems... to be promoted soon?

He naturally accepted it readily. It was too much tossing for a while, his small body couldn't bear it, and he really needed to take a good rest.

……

As the end of the year draws near, all parts of the capital are decorated with lanterns and festoons, creating a festive New Year atmosphere.

But the palace is no different from usual.

After the last night of shock, Prince Kang’s mansion was seriously injured, and the princess was sick in bed. King Kang went home to take care of the princess except to go to the military camp. In order not to affect the recovery of the princess, the morning and evening meditation that had been restored for several months was interrupted again.

Now Xiao Lin is basically in charge of the daily affairs of the palace, and he supported the whole family overnight.

The servants also understood that although the official canonization had not yet come down, the already proper eldest son changed his title one after another with a special wink.

Bai Chen called him Mr. Xiao as always, because Xiao Lin felt that it was a little strange to be called the son of the world.

There is no need to go to Yingmao, and life is happy. After daily exercise, Bai Chen reads and writes, teaches Xiao Mo to carve and various novelties, and goes to Songzhu Garden to feed the little flowers.

On the other hand, Xiao Lin is so busy that besides his daily affairs, he also occasionally goes to the military camp to help King Kang lead his troops to practice martial arts, so there is almost no extra rest time.

Bai Chen had a feeling that King Kang was physically and mentally exhausted after this drastic change, and he seemed to have plans to let Xiao Lin take over in advance.

He also heard a piece of news - after the new year, the emperor will officially decree to confer Xiao Lin.

In more than seven months, his career has had a good start, Xiao Lin's leg has also fully recovered, and the position of the son of the world is already in his pocket.

The changes in the world made him sigh a little. Although he experienced difficulties and twists and turns, fortunately, he had a relatively satisfactory result for the time being.

This is the first year he's been here. He wants to use his salary to buy some New Year's goods, one for everyone in the palace, one for the biological mother in this body, and if there is any leftover, he will buy another for his boss Luo Lanye. .

It was a good idea, but he realized that he only had one month's salary in hand, and he was afraid that even one share would not be enough...

Do you want to use the "dowry" prepared by the Hou Mansion?

Bai Chen was sitting in the living room with a book on the fire, thinking wildly, when he saw Xiao Lin push the door in, bringing in a cool breeze.

"Didn't you go to the military camp today?" Bai Chen got up and put a bench around the oven, "Hurry up and get warm."

"it is good."

Xiao Lin took off the cloak and put it on the chair, and sat on the stool beside Bai Chen.

"Why were you in a daze just now?" There was a smile in Xiao Lin's eyes, and Bai Chen's blank expression while holding the book was quite interesting.

"I'm thinking about buying new year's goods." Bai Chen didn't hide it from him, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon?"

"You don't need to worry about the New Year's goods." Xiao Lin said, "I have already ordered Mama Li to do it, and the Hou's share is also ready."

"Thank you." Bai Chen didn't expect him to be so thoughtful in such a busy schedule, "I still want to prepare a separate copy for my mother, and I also want to prepare a copy for the palace."

"The Wangfu prepares a mountain of New Year's goods every year." Xiao Lin said, "Just prepare one for your mother, and I will buy one for her too."

Seeing Bai Chen looking at him in surprise, Xiao Lin coughed, "This is also due courtesy."

"You're too polite." Bai Chen said with a smile, "I'm going to go out for a stroll tomorrow and buy some new year's goods."

"How about the day after tomorrow, I'll be with you, and I'll also rest." Xiao Lin said, "It's just at noon that I can go to Wangyue Tower for dinner and celebrate."

"Celebrate what?" Bai Chen was at a loss for a while, "Is there any happy event?"

Xiao Lin shook his head helplessly, "You are so smart when you investigate the case, why are you so sloppy in your affairs? Today is the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, isn't 22 your birthday?"

Bai Chen: ...

He really forgot.

——After all, he never had a birthday in his previous life.

In his consciousness, birthdays are no different from ordinary days.

After traveling through the chaos of war and chaos, he had to fight hard every day. Who would think of celebrating his own birthday? It seems that the original owner didn't celebrate his birthday very much. Bing'er once mentioned this matter.

"I forgot." Bai Chen shook his head and smiled wryly, "I've been so busy recently, well, then I'll go to the market in the future, buy new year's goods, and then go to Wangyue Tower for dinner at noon."

"By the way, why don't you call Mr. Jiang and the two brothers?" Bai Chen said, "The more people there are, the more lively it is. It happened that they treated guests last time. This time we will return the courtesy."

The corner of Xiao Lin's mouth twitched, and he flatly refused, "No."

"Ah?" Bai Chen blinked, "Why?"

"I... hate Jiang Haoran." Xiao Lin stood up and snorted, "Anyway, I don't want to eat with him."

...Why suddenly became arrogant, it is really confusing.

"What about Jiang Haochen? You hate him too?"

"I... don't hate him, but his elder brother won't allow him to go out alone."

Bai Chen thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case, and said, "It makes sense, then let's go."

Xiao Lin sat down again, raised the corners of her mouth and showed a satisfied expression: "Okay."
