Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

When Gu Huaiqing was interrogating Miss Shen, Duan Mingchen was in the kitchen interrogating Mrs. Lu, the head of the kitchen.

This Lu woman has a fat face, and her two small eyes are turning sharply. It seems that she is not honest.

Sure enough, when asked why the wine was hidden in the kitchen, Mrs. Lu began to deny it vehemently, claiming that she had no idea why the wine was hidden in the kitchen or who put it there.

Duan Mingchen has seen a lot of people like this, and knows that he must show color to this kind of slave, otherwise he won't be honest.

Duan Mingchen winked, and Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward fiercely and tied up Mrs. Lu.

"My... my lord, why did you tie me up? What did the old woman do wrong?" Mrs. Lu cried loudly.

Duan Mingchen put on a straight face, and said: "Master Shoufu died of this bottle of wine, and this bottle of wine was found in your kitchen. According to this officer, even if you are not the murderer, you must be the murderer's accomplice! Come on! People, take this woman back to Zhao Prison, and serve her with severe torture!"

Jin Yiwei's Zhao Prison is well-known, it is even more terrifying than the Palace of the King of Hell, and if you go in, can you come out of it?

Mrs. Lu trembled all over, almost peed her pants in fright, and said repeatedly: "My lord, I'm wronged, it's really not me! I didn't hide this bottle of wine!"

"You didn't hide it, who is it?" Duan Mingchen asked sternly, "If I tell you the truth, I can spare you!"

At this time, Mrs. Lu couldn't care about money anymore, and saving her life was the most important thing, so she hurriedly confessed: "Yes...it's the young master, it's my young master! He gave me a piece of silver and asked me to buy him a bottle of good wine and hide it in the kitchen .Slaves...Slaves are a little tight, and it is the young master's order, how can the servants refuse? So I asked someone to buy a bottle of high-quality Lihuabai, and hid it at the bottom of the cabinet."

It seems that the wine really belonged to Shen Yuzhu, Duan Mingchen had expected this, so it was not surprising.He asked with a cold face: "Why did your young master ask you to help him hide the wine?"

"My master strictly forbids drinking alcohol in the mansion, but the young master is a good wine drinker, and he is afraid that the master will find out and punish him, so he dare not hide the wine in his own place, so the old woman buys it for him and hides it in the kitchen. He comes over every night for a few sips. Quench your hunger."

"Master Shen comes to the kitchen to drink secretly every night, won't it arouse suspicion?"

"No, because Aunt Jiang will ask the young master to come to the kitchen for supper every night."

"Take supper? Who is it for?"

"For Aunt Jiang!" Mrs. Lu licked her lips, thinking that she had explained everything anyway, so she simply didn't hide anything, so she continued to explain, "Actually, Aunt Jiang was afraid that the young master would not return home at night, so she asked He comes to the kitchen every night to fetch supper for her, and then personally deliver it to her room. Therefore, the young master comes to pick up supper every night, and he will secretly drink a few sips of wine to satisfy his hunger."

Duan Mingchen's thoughts moved slightly, and he asked: "So, last night, Young Master Shen also came to the kitchen to pick up supper? When did he come, what did he do, and when did he leave?"

Mrs. Lu replied: "Last night, the young master was the same as usual. He came to the kitchen at the beginning of Haishi. The servant brought the tremella and bird's nest soup to the young master, and then the servant went home first. The servant did not know that the young master made it later. What, I don't know when he left the kitchen."

"Who else is in the kitchen after you leave?"

"There's only this girl, Qiulian, who is in charge of decocting medicine for the master."

"That is to say, after you leave, only Young Master Shen and Qiu Lian are left in the kitchen?"

"Returning to your lord, that's exactly the case." After Madam Lu finished speaking, she tried her best to squeeze out an ugly smile, "My lord, I've told you everything I know, can you untie me?"

"What you said is the truth, and you didn't hide it?"

"I dare to swear on the life of my newly born grandson, that what I said is absolutely true! You are so merciful, please spare me, even if I have the courage, I will not dare to murder the master!" Lu The mother-in-law kowtowed and begged for mercy, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Duan Mingchen asked someone to untie Mrs. Lu and take her down.

After the interrogation of Mrs. Lu, it was the turn of the next suspect—Qiu Lian, the maid in charge of decocting the medicine.

Qiu Lian was quickly brought up. She was about twenty-nine years old, with a beautiful appearance and a plump body. There was a tear mole at the corner of her eye, and she was charming and romantic.

Such a pretty maid is usually a housekeeper, but for some reason she was sent to do odd jobs in the kitchen in the Shen residence.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Lian's confession was different from that of Mrs. Lu.

"My lord, this servant does not know that there is wine hidden in the cupboard in the kitchen." Qiu Lian smoothed out the broken hair on her temples, and said softly, "Mrs. Lu usually manages very tightly. In her hands, the servant is just a servant."

Duan Mingchen said in a deep voice: "You are in charge of cooking medicine for Mr. Shen, but wine was mixed into the medicine, which caused Mr. Shen's death. You don't need to say more, you should know how powerful it is!"

Qiu Lian seemed to be frightened when she heard the words, her pretty face turned pale, she kowtowed on the ground and said, "My lord, this servant is so courageous, I don't dare to murder the master! I hope my lord will find out!"

"Right and wrong, this official has his own judgment. You must tell the truth without hiding anything! Let me ask you, when you were decocting the medicine last night, did anyone come to the kitchen? What did they do?"

Qiulian thought for a while, and slowly recalled: "Last night, all the servants in the mansion who knew needlework went to the embroidery room to help, but I was in charge of decocting medicine, and Mrs. Lu's eyes were not very good, so we The two stayed. Mrs. Lu ordered the servant to clean all the dishes, but she was dissatisfied if the servant was a little slow and scolded me."

"After finally washing and washing, it was about the end of Xu hour. Madam sent someone to order me to cook medicine, so the servants boiled water for the master to cook medicine. Madam sent someone to inform me every night at the end of Xu hour. For people. The doctor said that this medicinal material is precious, and it is very particular. It should neither be overcooked nor not enough time. It must be boiled for exactly one hour, and then served to the master while it is still hot."

Duan Mingchen interrupted: "How can you precisely control the cooking time, no more, no less, exactly one hour?"

Qiu Lian pointed to a small hourglass on the kitchen table with her slender fingers, and said, "Your servant uses the hourglass to measure time."

Duan Mingchen looked carefully, the hourglass was small and exquisite, but it was very exquisitely designed, with scales marked on it, which divided an hour into eight quarters of an hour, and each quarter of an hour had a corresponding mark.

Qiu Lian said: "At the beginning of Haishi last night, the young master came to the kitchen to fetch supper for Aunt Jiang. After Mrs. Lu gave the supper to the young master, she went back first..."

"After Mrs. Lu left, only you and the young master were left in the kitchen. What did young master Shen do?"

Qiu Lian seemed a little embarrassed, her eyes flickered twice, and she replied: "Young Master...Young Master didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just took the supper to Aunt Jiang."

"Really? The young master didn't go to get the wine in the cupboard?" Duan Mingchen questioned.

"No, no, the young master took the supper and went straight back." Seeing that Duan Mingchen didn't seem to believe it, Qiu Lian quickly added, "Oh, by the way, this servant remembered something!"

"you say!"

"About the four o'clock of Haishi, the servant heard cats meowing outside the house, and there seemed to be abnormal noises in the yard. The servant thought that there were salted fish drying in the yard, and was afraid that wild cats would come and steal the fish, so she ran to the yard to chase the cats away."

"So you're saying, you've ever left a medicine jar?"

"Yes, but only for a short while. The servant went to the yard and searched around but didn't see the cat, so he took the salted fish back to the kitchen, and then went back to the stove to continue decocting medicine."

"Then have you noticed that the medicine jar has been touched, and is there anything unusual about the cupboard where the wine is stored?"

Qiu Lian shook her head and said: "No, the maidservant put away the salted fish and returned to the stove. The medicine jar was still on the stove in good condition. The cabinet is on the other side of the kitchen, and the light is very dark at night, so the maidservant didn't pay attention to whether there was anything there. abnormal situation."

Qiu Lian shivered suddenly, and said, "My... my lord, could it be... someone took advantage of the moment I left to run into the kitchen and tamper with the medicine?"

"You ask me, and I want to ask you again! Qiulian, what you just said is the truth?"

"Every word of the servant girl is true!"

"Really?" Duan Mingchen approached Qiulian, staring at her with sharp eyes, bringing her tremendous pressure.

"My lord, Qiu Lian has explained everything she knows." Although Qiu Lian was a weak woman, she kept her back straight and did not show timidity under Duan Mingchen's pressure.

Duan Mingchen waved his hand expressionlessly, and asked his subordinates to take Qiulian out.

"This girl is not simple!" Gu Huaiqing said loudly as he stepped into the kitchen.

Duan Mingchen had already noticed that Gu Huaiqing was eavesdropping outside the door, but he didn't expose it. He slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you see that?"

"She said she didn't know that Shen Yuzhu hid wine in the kitchen, but Mrs. Lu said that Shen Yuzhu came to fetch supper every night and stole the wine to drink. She cooks medicine in the kitchen every night, how could she not know that Shen Yuzhu hid a bottle of wine In the cupboard? You're clearly lying!"

Duan Mingchen smiled when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at? This girl is obviously not telling the truth, why did you let her go so easily?"

Gu Huaiqing felt that Duan Mingchen's smile was dazzling, he was impatient listening to the corner outside, and could hardly bear to rush in to question him.

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help thinking of the enchanting and charming appearance of the maid, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Oh, I see... I didn't expect Mrs. Duan to be so sympathetic!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Duan Mingchen retorted angrily, "This maid is different from Mrs. Lu. She looks weak, but she is actually firm in her heart. Even if she threatens her, she may not be able to tell her the truth. I You can't torture her to extract a confession before you're convicted, right?"

Unconvinced, Gu Huaiqing stared and said bitterly, "Then let her go so easily?"

"Huaiqing..."

It was the first time Duan Mingchen called his name like this, Gu Huaiqing couldn't help being stunned, let Duan Mingchen put his hand on his shoulder in a daze, and forgot to speak for a while.

From the perspective of outsiders, the posture of the two of them at the moment is very ambiguous, Gu Huaiqing seems to be caged in Duan Mingchen's arms.

Duan Mingchen lowered his head slightly, Gu Huaiqing came hurriedly through the plum grove, his body seemed to carry a faint fragrance, long and thick eyelashes were condensed with small transparent dewdrops, trembling slightly, twinkling and twinkling, it was really moving.
