Mr. Kezaku
Chapter 86 Coffin 4
Lord Zhuo is not good to the third son, everyone in the house knows this.The life of the third son is not as good as that of a servant, food and clothing are very poor, the most important thing is that there is no money to treat the disease, Master Zhuo refuses to let the mother and son leave, he sincerely wants the third son to die of illness.With such a father, it is impossible not to have some resentment.
Many people thought that the third son would not rest in peace even after his death, that's why he turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge on Master Zhuo.
The two whispering to each other said again: "That night I also saw the soul of the third son, wandering by the side of the mourning hall, it was terrible!"
"What soul?" Chu Yuyang immediately walked over and asked after hearing this.
The two boys were taken aback by him, and they hesitated to speak.This kind of thing is said in secret behind others' backs, and someone asks how dare to say it openly.
However, Chu Yuyang insisted on asking, and the two young men lost their minds, so they said vaguely: "It was the day before yesterday, at night, and it was not very late, when I was taking things for my master, I happened to pass by the mourning hall. I just saw..."
The boy spoke vividly, his eyes widened, as if he was still afraid.
It wasn't very late that day, he hurriedly got something for his master and was about to go back, but he didn't expect that when he passed the mourning hall, he suddenly saw a black shadow.
The boy said: "That black shadow floated into the mourning hall! It's too scary!"
"And then?" Chu Yuyang asked.
Chu Yuyang didn't believe that there was something floating, maybe the boy was overcompensated, so he felt that the black shadow was floating in.That black shadow is probably a human figure.Someone sneaked into the mourning hall, this is important information.
The little servant said mysteriously: "I was very courageous at the time, so I took two steps over there and poked my head into the mourning hall. My lord, guess what happened?"
At this time, Chu Yuyang was not in the mood to guess, and asked, "What happened?"
The boy said: "There is no one in the mourning hall! Isn't it a ghost that floated in?"
"Why is there no one there?" Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "Shouldn't someone be guarding there?"
The boy said, "Hey, you don't know something."
Mr. Zhuo always scolded the third son and his mother if he had to beat him, and some servants who were arrogant were arrogant towards them.When the third son died, few people were sad. The most sad ones were probably the third son's mother, the maids and servants around the third son, and the old lady.
The guards are basically people around the third son, and people around his mother, just a few servants and maids, who always have to eat and sleep.It was almost time to change shifts at that time, and it was normal that there was no one there. I guess I went to eat, and I came back after a while.
Chu Yuyang suddenly realized, and said, "And then?"
The boy said: "I looked up into the mourning hall and found no one. I was so frightened that I was dumbfounded. I saw a shadow floating in with my own eyes. I was so scared that I ran away. I don't know anything else. .”
Chu Yuyang asked: "What time is it?"
The boy talked for a while, and Chu Yuyang froze for a moment.This time sounded familiar, it was the time for Qing Si to go to find Lord Zhuo, although it was already dark, it was not too late.
Many thoughts flashed through Chu Yuyang's mind, and she went back to the third son's mother to check if there was no one in the mourning hall at that time.
At that time, it was time for servants to eat and change shifts, just in time for the old lady to cry and pass out, so the mourning hall was a mess at that time, the mother of the third son and many servants quickly helped the old lady away, and the mourning hall was empty for a while At that time, the servants who were supposed to change shifts didn't know that they hadn't arrived yet, so the situation was a bit chaotic, and the mourning hall was empty.
Chu Yuyang couldn't help but wonder, was Master Zhuo already in the coffin at that time?At that time, the mourning hall was empty and there was no one there. If someone came in and out, it would be completely stress-free.
And at that time, Qingsi went to see Mrs. Zhuo, but what she said several times was vague, which made Chu Yuyang have great doubts about her.
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "Could it be that Master Zhuo was not in his own room at all at that time, and Qingsi purposely made a big noise in order to make an alibi for Master Zhuo?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Alibi? But Mr. Zhuo is the deceased."
What Zhao Xingduan was talking about was that Mr. Zhuo was the most victimized, why did he need someone else to give him an alibi?
Chu Yuyang said: "If it wasn't for an alibi, it was because Qing Si wanted to mislead us and make us think that Master Zhuo was still alive at that time."
Zhao Xingduan's statement is understandable.
Zhao Xingduan said again: "The boy said that only one figure went in. If it was Master Zhuo, then who dragged him into the coffin?"
"Maybe..." Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "Maybe he got into the coffin by himself."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, this kind of statement really surprised and puzzled him, how could a living person get into the coffin by himself.
When the empress dowager heard that something happened to the Zhuo family again, she couldn't sit still in the palace.Moreover, the emperor followed Chu Yuyang and ran outside again, so he couldn't sit still anymore, so he just went out of the palace with a hug.
When she arrived at Zhuo's house, she asked someone to inquire about it, and only then did she know about the third young master.The empress dowager has been living in the palace. Although she has a good relationship with Master Zhuo, it is not convenient for a sister to ask more about his family affairs.At this moment, I suddenly heard about the third son, and after inquiring again, I didn't expect his younger brother to be doing such stupid things all the time.
The queen mother sighed unceasingly, the third son was her own nephew after all, although they had never met each other, the corpses were completely changed now.But after hearing what happened to him, I still feel a little sad.
When Qing Si heard that the Queen Mother was coming again, she hurriedly happily went to serve the Queen Mother.She thought, she must not let the queen mother keep herself in this mansion today, she must go back to the palace with the queen mother.
Chu Yuyang has many unsolved questions now, and his mind is full of mysteries.
First of all, who came up with the idea for the third son, so that the third son used the method of feigning death?Is this person the same person who killed the Third Young Master and let him burn his body?If it is a person, I am afraid that when he pays attention to the third son, he will have ulterior motives at all.
Secondly, who is that black shadow that entered the mourning hall?Is it Lord Zhuo himself?Chu Yuyang deliberately asked people to question the people in Zhuo Mansion again.During that time period, people were basically eating or changing shifts, so they were all in twos and threes, and all had alibi.Most of the others also had alibi, and only a few people who lived in the backyard were alone in the room, and there was no evidence, so the scope of the shadow was not extensive.
However, Chu Yuyang asked the boy to testify, but the boy shook his head and said he didn't look like a black shadow.The few people in the backyard who didn't have an alibi were all too thin and thin, and they looked like they couldn't hold their hands. According to the boy, the black shadow was not short, and after careful recollection, he found that the black shadow Shadow seems a bit fat.According to what he said, Chu Yuyang felt that the black shadow was Master Zhuo, which fit Master Zhuo's body shape very well.
Then there is the question of Qing Si, her confession is vague, she must be hiding something.If Master Zhuo was no longer in the room at that time, what was the point of Qingsi doing this?
Also, the coffin was not sealed, but the next morning there was a seal, and who put the seal on it.
In addition, who is the woman who spread the news that Lord Zhuo is dead?
What happened to the emerald cabbage in his mouth when Master Zhuo died?
Chu Yuyang looked carefully at the clues, and immediately felt his head was getting bigger, and when he heard that the empress dowager was coming again, his head became even bigger.
Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan were standing outside the mourning hall when they saw the Empress Dowager accompanied by Qingsi.
The empress dowager has never seen the third son in person, so she wants to come to worship at this moment.
When she was at the door, the empress dowager saw the emperor and Chu Yuyang, and her complexion changed several times in an instant.It seems that last night, Chu Yuyang pissed off the empress dowager so much that the empress dowager's eyes on him are still distorted today...
The empress dowager simply ignored him and said, "The emperor is here."
Qingsi really knows how to act, and before she entered the mourning hall, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, crying like pear blossoms and rain, and said: "Queen Mother, this is the third young master. If the third young master knows that the queen mother is you It will be a pleasure to send him off.”
Qingsi and the third son have no feelings at all, but she knows that the empress dowager is old, and although she looks serious, she is actually a person who attaches great importance to emotions, and crying can win the empress dowager's favor.
The Empress Dowager said: "Oh, this is a poor child, let him be buried properly."
Chu Yuyang whispered, "Wu Zuo took the body away for an autopsy."
The implication is that there is no corpse in the coffin parked in the mourning hall!It is now an empty coffin.
Qingsi instantly felt her face burning hot, as if someone had slapped her in the mouth.She cried for a long time, and it turned out that she was crying into an empty coffin.
Qingsi stared, and said: "Master Chu, the Third Young Master died so badly, why don't you let him rest in peace, tormenting the Third Young Master's body like this is really unreasonable."
The Empress Dowager also said: "This child suffered a lot during his lifetime, how can he treat him like this after death? Hurry up and get his body back, the Ai family has the final say, and bury him in a good manner!"
Chu Yuyang naturally disagreed. The third son's body was a very important breakthrough point. Wu Zuo had already started the autopsy. Although the burnt condition was serious, he should be able to get the time of death and some other clues from it.
Chu Yuyang said: "It's not easy for the third son to live. He died unexpectedly. If we don't help him get justice, he will die with regret. No matter how glorious the burial, others have already gone. What's the use? We can only let those who are alive Those who feel guilty feel comforted in their hearts.”
"What did you say?" Qing Si said, "Are you contradicting the Empress Dowager?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I didn't mean that, but you deliberately gossip here. The Empress Dowager is a wise and wise person. Who do you think you can deceive with this little trick?"
Qingsi was dumbfounded, she really had such thoughts in her mind, but who would have thought that Chu Yuyang would say so carelessly.
The Empress Dowager did not like Chu Yuyang, but Chu Yuyang put her words on the bright side, and she couldn't continue Qingsi's words.
The empress dowager's face turned livid, and said: "Forget it, you said you want to give the third son justice, well, if the murderer can't be found, the Ai family will ask you for the crime!"
Chu Yuyang immediately said: "This is natural. But Queen Mother, what if the murderer is found?"
The Empress Dowager stared, and said: "You are the Minister of Dali Temple, and it is your duty to find the murderer. Do you still have to ask Ai's family for a reward?"
Chu Yuyang smiled and said: "The queen mother misunderstood me. It is indeed my job to investigate the case. Besides, if you want to ask for a reward, you should ask the emperor for a reward, right?"
When Zhao Xingduan heard Chu Yuyang mentioning himself, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Chu Yuyang said again: "What I want to say is, the empress dowager thinks that if the murderer is caught, how should he deal with that person?"
The empress dowager said without hesitation: "Of course he will be executed. However, the murderer's actions were cruel. He not only killed the third son, but also set fire to the corpse. It is really outrageous! The Ai family thinks that he must be fed enough You can only die after suffering. Your Dali Temple is the place where cases are tried, and Chu Yuyang should know more about the punishment facilities than the Ai family, so you have to serve him well."
The empress dowager is full of anger. Her own brother just died, and her nephew died again. She was so angry with Chu Yuyang that she was so angry that she had no place to get angry. In the end, they all turned viciously on the murderer who hadn't been caught yet. sprinkled.
Qingsi next to her stopped talking, her face was a little pale with her head lowered, and she couldn't help shaking her body when she heard the empress dowager's words.
After the Empress Dowager and Qingsi left, Zhao Xingduan said: "Take it easy, don't make the Empress Dowager angry."
Chu Yuyang said innocently, "I've already restrained myself."
Zhao Xingduan said: "Are you testing Qingsi just now?"
Chu Yuyang nodded, and said, "I still think she is suspicious. Also, the wound on her hand has been hidden from others, I think it's tricky."
Qingsi still had gauze wrapped around her hands, and she didn't let them see the wound.How could the wound from the porcelain slice be so serious?
Chu Yuyang rubbed her chin and said, "I think I should think of a way, how can I get Qingsi to take off the gauze from her hands?"
Chu Yuyang did think of a way, that is to secretly add some medicine to Qingsi's wound.In fact, this is very easy to do, because Qing Si has been serving the queen mother.Zhao Xingduan asked someone to bring some snacks to the Queen Mother, Qingsi definitely rushed to take them, and then brought them to the Queen Mother himself, just put a little medicine powder on the outside of the plate or bowl.
Qingsi didn't know Chu Yuyang's bad intentions, so she fell for it.She didn't notice it at all, but felt that her gauze-wrapped hand suddenly felt a little itchy, and her wound hurt again because of the itching.When she returned to the room at noon, she took off the gauze, and immediately found that the wound was red and swollen, and it seemed to be purulent.
After thinking about it, Qingsi decided to ask the maid to invite the doctor over.
At this time, Chu Yuyang had already arranged for a "doctor" to treat Qingsi, and followed the maid.Qingsi didn't know that the doctor was a fake, and that he was from Dali Temple. He let him see her wound, but prescribed medicine and bandaged it again.
The "doctor" came out soon, and went to Chu Yuyang to report to him.
There is something wrong with Qingsi's wound, otherwise she wouldn't have covered it up, just like what Chu Yuyang imagined, her wound did have a big problem, it wasn't scratched by broken porcelain at all, the wound was quite long, look It should be stabbed by something metal, but it is not very sharp, and there are some rusts on it, so it should not be a dagger or the like.
Chu Yuyang said: "Sure enough, there is a problem. What did Qingsi do? Why do you have such a wound on your hand?"
The wound was very long, and the skin was ripped apart, no wonder it had to be bandaged so tightly.Anyone who saw this would surely be able to see that the wound on her hand was not caused by broken porcelain.
Chu Yuyang thought about it, and suddenly thought of a possibility, dragged the "doctor" and ran to the mourning hall, and said, "Look, is it possible that the wound was caused by this kind of thing?"
The "doctor" that Chu Yuyang found for Qingsi was actually an assistant from Dali Temple. Although he knew some medical skills, he was obviously more experienced in identifying wounds. Although Qingsi was not a corpse, he was a living person. The wounds are not much different from the wounds of the dead.
Chu Yuyang pointed out that what he made was a coffin nail seven or eight inches long. The nail had already been pulled out, and it was placed aside. There were several in total.The nails were much larger and thicker than ordinary nails, with pointed heads, but not very sharp, and there was still a little bit of inconspicuous rust on the coffin nails.
Wu Zuo picked up a seal, looked at it carefully, and gestured on his hand again, saying: "My lord, it should be this one, the wound fits very well."
Wounds caused by staples.
Zhao Xingduan was a little surprised when he heard that, there was a wound on Qingsi's hand caused by a seal, what does this mean?
The coffin was originally unsealed, but it became stapled the next morning, and Qing Si had a wound on her hand caused by a seal.
Chu Yuyang said: "The nails on this coffin were sealed by Qingsi."
"Is she the one who deliberately planned to kill Master Zhuo?" Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang was also a little puzzled, Qingsi's city was actually not that deep, she was too easy to envy others, this kind of deliberate murder did not seem like something she could think of.
Moreover, in fact, Chu Yuyang always felt that Zhao Boxiao should be the first choice to kill Mr. Zhuo.After all, Zhao Boxiao is the one who planned to rebel, and Master Zhuo and Master Guo were accidentally exposed, so Zhao Boxiao naturally wanted to kill Master Zhuo to silence them, otherwise they hadn't planned well yet, but everyone would know everything. Wouldn't it be a big deal.
However, Zhao Boxiao has been sending people around to inquire about Xie Anyi's news about this matter, and it seems that he has not taken any action on this matter.
Chu Yuyang said: "It won't work like this, we're too passive, if it's someone Qingsi kills, it's actually easier to deal with."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang said: "Qingsi is a jealous person, but she is actually not very courageous. When the Empress Dowager said those few words just now, did you notice that her face turned pale with fright?"
Zhao Xingduan nodded.
Chu Yuyang said: "We might as well scare her and see if she can confess herself."
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said: "The empress dowager is with her at the moment, I'm afraid you won't get any benefits if you go."
Chu Yuyang said: "It only works if the Empress Dowager is present."
Qingsi felt that she was great because of the empress dowager's favor, and Chu Yuyang wanted to scare her in front of the empress dowager, so that she would be even more afraid.You know, if the empress dowager knows everything, she will lose all her backing, which means losing everything. She is naturally afraid.
Chu Yuyang immediately took Zhao Xingduan with him, and of course he brought the gangster as a witness.
The empress dowager was leaning on the chair, listening to Qing Si talking, she seemed quite happy.The servants suddenly said that His Majesty and Mr. Chu had come. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager said, "This Chu Yuyang, why does he always hang around in front of the Ai family if he doesn't investigate the case?"
Qing Si said: "If the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see her, why not ask Qing Si to send him away for you."
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Forget it, let them come in."
Chu Yuyang was followed by the emperor, so she had to give the emperor face.
Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan came in soon, and there were quite a few people who came in. Besides Wu Zuo, they also brought guards in.
Qing Si saw so many people in a daze, and when she saw the doctor who was treating her just now, she panicked and said, "Lord Chu, you have the guts to bring so many guards to see the Empress Dowager! You Do you still have the Empress Dowager in your eyes?"
Chu Yuyang saluted the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, I have already found the murderer, and I am about to bring the murderer down, that's why I brought so many guards here."
The empress dowager sat up straight and said, "What did you say? You mean, the murderer is on Ai's side?"
Chu Yuyang immediately said: "If you go back to the queen mother, the murderer is Mrs. Qingsi."
"What?" The Empress Dowager was startled, stood up, and said, "This is impossible."
Qingsi knelt down suddenly, and said cryingly: "Queen Mother, don't believe the villain's nonsense, how could I be a murderer, me, how could I do such a thing as murder?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Don't cry, I have evidence here."
Chu Yuyang pointed to the doctor standing at the side, and said: "This is the work of Dali Temple. He has shown the wound on Mrs. Qingsi's hand just now. It's not like what Mrs. Qingsi said, he was injured by broken porcelain pieces. but was wounded by the nails on the coffin."
Yesterday Qing Si said that the wound on her hand was caused by broken porcelain. The Empress Dowager was also present at the time and heard her say so.
The queen mother asked: "Qing Si, what is going on?"
Qing Si almost forgot to cry, and said loudly: "Queen Mother! You have been wronged! Master Chu deliberately wronged me!"
Chu Yuyang said: "The Empress Dowager might as well ask Mrs. Qingsi to take off the gauze from her hand, so she can tell at a glance."
Qingsi protected her injured hand and said, "Don't touch me, and no one should touch me. I didn't kill anyone. Your Majesty, save me. I was wronged."
Qingsi didn't let people see her injury, the queen mother also felt more and more suspicious, she winked at the people around her, and the guards brought by Chu Yuyang didn't need to do anything, the attendants beside the queen mother immediately walked over and took Qing Si forcefully pressed it, and then quickly removed the gauze from her hand.
Qingsi yelled and said: "Don't touch me, don't touch me! You stay away! The emperor save me, the queen mother save me! Chu Yuyang, you are jealous of me, that's why you want to frame me, yes wrong!"
Qingsi screamed at the top of her lungs, like a shrew.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath when she saw the wound on Qingsi's hand, how could such a large wound be caused by broken porcelain pieces.
Wu Zuo immediately took out an eight-inch long seal, and compared it with Qingsi's wound, it was indeed caused by the seal.
The empress dowager's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she said, "What's going on here?"
Chu Yuyang took a closer look at the wound on Qingsi's hand, one end was slightly deeper, the other shallower, the wound was very long, almost crossing the entire palm of the hand.From this appearance, it should have been caused when the seal was smashed, perhaps because Qing Si was too nervous at the time, and accidentally scratched the seal into his hand, leaving a deep scratch.
Qingsi struggled like crazy, but she couldn't struggle at all.
She was trembling all over, and said: "Queen Mother, I, I am innocent, Queen Mother, please help me!"
Chu Yuyang scolded: "When things are coming to an end, you still dare to lie in front of the queen mother, you are really audacious!"
"No, no, no, I didn't intend to kill, it wasn't me," Qing Si yelled, "Help me, Queen Mother! I didn't intend to kill."
Chu Yuyang said: "The evidence is conclusive, no need to say much, just take her down."
"Queen Mother! Your Majesty!" Qing Si shouted louder, saying: "Don't arrest me, don't arrest me, I'm innocent, let me go, someone asked me to do this, I didn't want to kill someone."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Bring her back, Aijia wants to listen to her."
Chu Yuyang beckoned and asked the guards to escort Qingsi back, saying, "Qingsi, if you have anything to say, hurry up, this is your last chance."
Qingsi knelt in front of the queen mother, her eyes were swollen from crying, and said: "Queen mother, I am not the one who wants to kill the master, I have no choice but to."
Qingsi was terrified, crying and telling her suffering.She told the queen mother that she was forced to do so.She was begged by Master Zhuo in front of the Queen Mother, and she was indeed treated well when she was brought back to the manor, but the good times didn't last long, Master Zhuo liked the new and disliked the old, so he had a new concubine.Although the other concubines were afraid of her, her life was not as good as before, and she felt very unbalanced.
When she thought of Zhao Xingduan, she was even more unbalanced. She always felt that she should be a concubine, but now she can only be a concubine.
Just when Qingsi was unhappy, a woman suddenly found her.Qing Si knew that woman, and they had known each other for many years.That woman is living a much better life than him now, and she is well-fed and well-clothed, making Qingsi envious.
The woman told her that there was one thing that Qing Si needed to help with, and after the matter was completed, she would let Qing Si live a life of luxury.
Qingsi was moved by what she said, so she agreed to the woman's words.
The woman asked her to do several things, including drugging Master Zhuo.
This is a big game, and the first scene in the opening scene is Zhuo Sangongzi.
Qingsi said that she found the third young master Zhuo a few days ago, and knowing that the third young master wanted to leave the Zhuo family all the time, she gave him a notice of suspended animation and gave him the medicine to fake death.
The third young master had nothing to do at the time, so he really followed Qingsi's idea, and after feigning death, he pretended to be his mother's servant.
The third young master and his mother were not welcome to be seen. There were a few servants around them who would pay attention to them. In this way, the plan seemed to be going well.
Chu Yuyang was a little surprised when he heard this. It turned out that the person the third son's mother was talking about was actually Qingsi.It really is a big game of chess.
The third son died in a suspended animation, and the coffin was empty.But the plan was forced to change suddenly, that is, the emperor issued an imperial decree to put all the people in the Zhuo Mansion under house arrest. The third son could not take the opportunity to leave at all, so he could only continue to pretend to be a servant.
Mr. Zhuo was under house arrest. He had ghosts in his heart and was very scared.For some reason, someone came to him with a piece of white jade pendant and asked him to conspire with him.Master Zhuo refused at first because he was already the emperor's uncle, but later he wavered again.Because even if he is the emperor's uncle, he is not under one person and above ten thousand, and there are still many people stepping on top of him.
Master Zhuo thought for a long time, and finally agreed.However, he did not expect that the letter he wrote to Mr. Guo would fall into the hands of the emperor.
Qingsi found Master Zhuo when he was most afraid, and told him that there was a way to help him escape.
The serious crime of treason, even if Master Zhuo is Zhao Xingduan's uncle, I am afraid he will lose his head.Lord Zhuo is so scared to death now, he doesn't want any gold, silver or treasure, he just wants to survive.
Master Zhuo immediately agreed to Qingsi's method.
That night, the shadow that the boy saw was Master Zhuo himself. He quietly ran into the mourning hall alone, then opened the coffin, and got in by himself.
This is the idea that Qingsi gave him, Qingsi told him to use the coffin of the third son, Lord Zhuo can use this to escape.
No one would doubt whether the people inside the coffin were dead or alive. When the coffin was left there for too long, the emperor would definitely have the coffin carried out for burial.Master Zhuo only needs to hide in the coffin, and he can leave without anyone noticing.
According to what Qing Si said, Master Zhuo entered the mourning hall while no one was touching.He found that the coffin was unsealed and that there was no body inside!At that time, he thought that Qingsi helped him take care of it, so he didn't suspect him, so he lay down directly.
Master Zhuo lay down in the coffin by himself. Before that, he had eaten the poisonous things that Qingsi had poisoned long before that, and he had already been poisoned.
Just when Master Zhuo was lying in the coffin, Qingsi pretended to meet Master Zhuo and made a big noise. In fact, she wanted to deceive others into thinking that Master Zhuo was still in the room at that time.
Master Zhuo lay in the coffin, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.He didn't dare to make a sound, and didn't dare to let others hear him, so he just stayed like this.
In the middle of the night, Qing Si knew that there was probably no one in the mourning hall, so she got up secretly, and according to the plan, she went to the mourning hall with a small ornament of emerald cabbage.
Sure enough, the mourning hall was empty and pitch-black.Qingsi opened the coffin, and saw Master Zhuo lying inside, but his eyes were closed, his complexion was not very good, it seemed that the poison was about to break out.He wasn't asleep, but actually passed out.
Qingsi opened Master Zhuo's mouth, then stuffed the emerald cabbage into his mouth, poking it until his throat got stuck, so that even if he woke up, he couldn't speak and call for help.
When this was done, she put the lid on the coffin, and then the nails.
It's just that she was too flustered when she did this, and she was very afraid of being discovered, so when she was knocking on the seal, she was in a hurry and nailed her own hand, and the wound was very big.
When Master Zhuo woke up, the toxin had already exploded, and he was so painful that he almost died, and there was almost no strength left in the painful body.And he was shocked to find that he couldn't make a sound, something was stuck in his throat, and his throat was bloody, so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Master Zhuo was startled and terrified. What made him even more frightened was that the coffin was sealed. He tried his best to push the coffin, but he couldn't move at all.
Master Zhuo could vaguely hear voices outside, he knew there were people outside, but no one knew that there was a living person in the coffin.He was in great pain, not just from the poison, but from despair and fear.
He wants to go out, he doesn't want to die here, then this place really becomes his coffin.
Master Zhuo struggled with the last bit of strength, grabbed the lid of the coffin with his hands, and made a creepy sound. The pain in his fingers had already made him unable to fall down.Soon, he swallowed his last breath and never moved again.
After listening to Qingsi's words, the empress dowager felt cold sweat on her back and her clothes were almost wet.
But this is not the end, because there are still three sons.
The third son knew that Mr. Zhuo was dead, and he began to feel that something was wrong. The first thing he wanted to suspect was Qingsi who gave him advice.
So at night, in the dead of night, the third son went to the backyard, trying to find Qingsi to question him.Qingsi was also afraid, she was afraid that the third son would leak her out, so she had already started killing her.When the third son was found, she killed him.He also threw the third son's body by the pond, put the shroud on it, and lit a fire to burn it.In this way, even if someone finds the third son, the third son will be completely changed, and nothing can be seen.
The queen mother said tremblingly: "Quick, quickly put her down, put her down!"
Qing Si threw herself at the Empress Dowager's feet and said, "Empress Dowager, don't arrest me, others asked me to do these things, I, I was wronged!"
The empress dowager felt that Qing Si was crazy, she actually killed two people, and both of them used such cruel methods, and kept saying that she was wronged, even if she didn't come up with the idea, she was not wronged at all.
Qing Si shouted again: "Queen Mother, I was forced, I was forced, it's all because of Lord Zhuo! If Lord Zhuo treats me better, how could I treat him like this. Queen Mother!"
The guards quickly escorted Qing Si away.
Chu Yuyang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and chased him out.
Zhao Xingduan said, "What are you going to do?"
Chu Yuyang just chased her out and asked Qingsi a question, who was the woman she was talking about.Chu Yuyang felt that this woman was probably the one who spread the news.
This woman is too strange, why did Qingsi kill Master Zhuo and stuff a jadeite cabbage into Master Zhuo's mouth?
The empress dowager was in the room, she didn't hear Chu Yuyang's question, but heard Qingsi calling someone's name.
"Changyue! It's Changyue! It's her, it's her who hurt me!"
The Empress Dowager stood up from her chair again in shock.
Chu Yuyang couldn't remember who Changyue was for a while, so she asked, "Who is Changyue?"
Zhao Xingduan frowned and thought for a long time.
Qingsi and Changyue were the women that the empress dowager gave to Zhao Xingduan back then, but they were sent back to the empress dowager by Zhao Xingduan later.
Chu Yuyang has only seen Qingsi, but not Changyue.
Chu Yuyang suddenly realized, otherwise Qingsi would say that they have known each other for a long time.
Chu Yuyang said: "What is this Changyue going to do? I don't think the emerald cabbage in Master Zhuo's mouth can be found randomly. It must have some meaning. But what is its meaning?"
If it is just looking for something, as long as it can prevent Lord Zhuo from shouting, then Changyue would not suggest emerald cabbage.
So, emerald cabbage has a very important meaning, but where is the meaning?Chu Yuyang was at a loss for what to do.They only knew that this item was actually given to Master Zhuo by the Empress Dowager.
Queen Mother...
Chu Yuyang's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Could it be that the person Changyue wanted to threaten was actually the Empress Dowager?
But this is very unlikely, why does Changyue have something to do with the Queen Mother? Why did she threaten the Queen Mother?
Why did Changyue try to kill Master Zhuo in every possible way? What is the purpose of this?
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "Where is Changyue now?"
No one could answer Chu Yuyang, and no one had paid attention to this woman.Before Changyue was released from the palace, she married a rich businessman. After the rich businessman died, she remarried.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Send someone to inquire."
Chu Yuyang immediately asked Jiang Liuwu to inquire about the whereabouts of Changyue.
The murderer who killed Lord Zhuo and the third son Zhuo had indeed been found, but they had not found Changyue who ordered Qingsi.The case is not considered over, it is just a conclusion.
江
Many people thought that the third son would not rest in peace even after his death, that's why he turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge on Master Zhuo.
The two whispering to each other said again: "That night I also saw the soul of the third son, wandering by the side of the mourning hall, it was terrible!"
"What soul?" Chu Yuyang immediately walked over and asked after hearing this.
The two boys were taken aback by him, and they hesitated to speak.This kind of thing is said in secret behind others' backs, and someone asks how dare to say it openly.
However, Chu Yuyang insisted on asking, and the two young men lost their minds, so they said vaguely: "It was the day before yesterday, at night, and it was not very late, when I was taking things for my master, I happened to pass by the mourning hall. I just saw..."
The boy spoke vividly, his eyes widened, as if he was still afraid.
It wasn't very late that day, he hurriedly got something for his master and was about to go back, but he didn't expect that when he passed the mourning hall, he suddenly saw a black shadow.
The boy said: "That black shadow floated into the mourning hall! It's too scary!"
"And then?" Chu Yuyang asked.
Chu Yuyang didn't believe that there was something floating, maybe the boy was overcompensated, so he felt that the black shadow was floating in.That black shadow is probably a human figure.Someone sneaked into the mourning hall, this is important information.
The little servant said mysteriously: "I was very courageous at the time, so I took two steps over there and poked my head into the mourning hall. My lord, guess what happened?"
At this time, Chu Yuyang was not in the mood to guess, and asked, "What happened?"
The boy said: "There is no one in the mourning hall! Isn't it a ghost that floated in?"
"Why is there no one there?" Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "Shouldn't someone be guarding there?"
The boy said, "Hey, you don't know something."
Mr. Zhuo always scolded the third son and his mother if he had to beat him, and some servants who were arrogant were arrogant towards them.When the third son died, few people were sad. The most sad ones were probably the third son's mother, the maids and servants around the third son, and the old lady.
The guards are basically people around the third son, and people around his mother, just a few servants and maids, who always have to eat and sleep.It was almost time to change shifts at that time, and it was normal that there was no one there. I guess I went to eat, and I came back after a while.
Chu Yuyang suddenly realized, and said, "And then?"
The boy said: "I looked up into the mourning hall and found no one. I was so frightened that I was dumbfounded. I saw a shadow floating in with my own eyes. I was so scared that I ran away. I don't know anything else. .”
Chu Yuyang asked: "What time is it?"
The boy talked for a while, and Chu Yuyang froze for a moment.This time sounded familiar, it was the time for Qing Si to go to find Lord Zhuo, although it was already dark, it was not too late.
Many thoughts flashed through Chu Yuyang's mind, and she went back to the third son's mother to check if there was no one in the mourning hall at that time.
At that time, it was time for servants to eat and change shifts, just in time for the old lady to cry and pass out, so the mourning hall was a mess at that time, the mother of the third son and many servants quickly helped the old lady away, and the mourning hall was empty for a while At that time, the servants who were supposed to change shifts didn't know that they hadn't arrived yet, so the situation was a bit chaotic, and the mourning hall was empty.
Chu Yuyang couldn't help but wonder, was Master Zhuo already in the coffin at that time?At that time, the mourning hall was empty and there was no one there. If someone came in and out, it would be completely stress-free.
And at that time, Qingsi went to see Mrs. Zhuo, but what she said several times was vague, which made Chu Yuyang have great doubts about her.
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "Could it be that Master Zhuo was not in his own room at all at that time, and Qingsi purposely made a big noise in order to make an alibi for Master Zhuo?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Alibi? But Mr. Zhuo is the deceased."
What Zhao Xingduan was talking about was that Mr. Zhuo was the most victimized, why did he need someone else to give him an alibi?
Chu Yuyang said: "If it wasn't for an alibi, it was because Qing Si wanted to mislead us and make us think that Master Zhuo was still alive at that time."
Zhao Xingduan's statement is understandable.
Zhao Xingduan said again: "The boy said that only one figure went in. If it was Master Zhuo, then who dragged him into the coffin?"
"Maybe..." Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "Maybe he got into the coffin by himself."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, this kind of statement really surprised and puzzled him, how could a living person get into the coffin by himself.
When the empress dowager heard that something happened to the Zhuo family again, she couldn't sit still in the palace.Moreover, the emperor followed Chu Yuyang and ran outside again, so he couldn't sit still anymore, so he just went out of the palace with a hug.
When she arrived at Zhuo's house, she asked someone to inquire about it, and only then did she know about the third young master.The empress dowager has been living in the palace. Although she has a good relationship with Master Zhuo, it is not convenient for a sister to ask more about his family affairs.At this moment, I suddenly heard about the third son, and after inquiring again, I didn't expect his younger brother to be doing such stupid things all the time.
The queen mother sighed unceasingly, the third son was her own nephew after all, although they had never met each other, the corpses were completely changed now.But after hearing what happened to him, I still feel a little sad.
When Qing Si heard that the Queen Mother was coming again, she hurriedly happily went to serve the Queen Mother.She thought, she must not let the queen mother keep herself in this mansion today, she must go back to the palace with the queen mother.
Chu Yuyang has many unsolved questions now, and his mind is full of mysteries.
First of all, who came up with the idea for the third son, so that the third son used the method of feigning death?Is this person the same person who killed the Third Young Master and let him burn his body?If it is a person, I am afraid that when he pays attention to the third son, he will have ulterior motives at all.
Secondly, who is that black shadow that entered the mourning hall?Is it Lord Zhuo himself?Chu Yuyang deliberately asked people to question the people in Zhuo Mansion again.During that time period, people were basically eating or changing shifts, so they were all in twos and threes, and all had alibi.Most of the others also had alibi, and only a few people who lived in the backyard were alone in the room, and there was no evidence, so the scope of the shadow was not extensive.
However, Chu Yuyang asked the boy to testify, but the boy shook his head and said he didn't look like a black shadow.The few people in the backyard who didn't have an alibi were all too thin and thin, and they looked like they couldn't hold their hands. According to the boy, the black shadow was not short, and after careful recollection, he found that the black shadow Shadow seems a bit fat.According to what he said, Chu Yuyang felt that the black shadow was Master Zhuo, which fit Master Zhuo's body shape very well.
Then there is the question of Qing Si, her confession is vague, she must be hiding something.If Master Zhuo was no longer in the room at that time, what was the point of Qingsi doing this?
Also, the coffin was not sealed, but the next morning there was a seal, and who put the seal on it.
In addition, who is the woman who spread the news that Lord Zhuo is dead?
What happened to the emerald cabbage in his mouth when Master Zhuo died?
Chu Yuyang looked carefully at the clues, and immediately felt his head was getting bigger, and when he heard that the empress dowager was coming again, his head became even bigger.
Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan were standing outside the mourning hall when they saw the Empress Dowager accompanied by Qingsi.
The empress dowager has never seen the third son in person, so she wants to come to worship at this moment.
When she was at the door, the empress dowager saw the emperor and Chu Yuyang, and her complexion changed several times in an instant.It seems that last night, Chu Yuyang pissed off the empress dowager so much that the empress dowager's eyes on him are still distorted today...
The empress dowager simply ignored him and said, "The emperor is here."
Qingsi really knows how to act, and before she entered the mourning hall, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, crying like pear blossoms and rain, and said: "Queen Mother, this is the third young master. If the third young master knows that the queen mother is you It will be a pleasure to send him off.”
Qingsi and the third son have no feelings at all, but she knows that the empress dowager is old, and although she looks serious, she is actually a person who attaches great importance to emotions, and crying can win the empress dowager's favor.
The Empress Dowager said: "Oh, this is a poor child, let him be buried properly."
Chu Yuyang whispered, "Wu Zuo took the body away for an autopsy."
The implication is that there is no corpse in the coffin parked in the mourning hall!It is now an empty coffin.
Qingsi instantly felt her face burning hot, as if someone had slapped her in the mouth.She cried for a long time, and it turned out that she was crying into an empty coffin.
Qingsi stared, and said: "Master Chu, the Third Young Master died so badly, why don't you let him rest in peace, tormenting the Third Young Master's body like this is really unreasonable."
The Empress Dowager also said: "This child suffered a lot during his lifetime, how can he treat him like this after death? Hurry up and get his body back, the Ai family has the final say, and bury him in a good manner!"
Chu Yuyang naturally disagreed. The third son's body was a very important breakthrough point. Wu Zuo had already started the autopsy. Although the burnt condition was serious, he should be able to get the time of death and some other clues from it.
Chu Yuyang said: "It's not easy for the third son to live. He died unexpectedly. If we don't help him get justice, he will die with regret. No matter how glorious the burial, others have already gone. What's the use? We can only let those who are alive Those who feel guilty feel comforted in their hearts.”
"What did you say?" Qing Si said, "Are you contradicting the Empress Dowager?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I didn't mean that, but you deliberately gossip here. The Empress Dowager is a wise and wise person. Who do you think you can deceive with this little trick?"
Qingsi was dumbfounded, she really had such thoughts in her mind, but who would have thought that Chu Yuyang would say so carelessly.
The Empress Dowager did not like Chu Yuyang, but Chu Yuyang put her words on the bright side, and she couldn't continue Qingsi's words.
The empress dowager's face turned livid, and said: "Forget it, you said you want to give the third son justice, well, if the murderer can't be found, the Ai family will ask you for the crime!"
Chu Yuyang immediately said: "This is natural. But Queen Mother, what if the murderer is found?"
The Empress Dowager stared, and said: "You are the Minister of Dali Temple, and it is your duty to find the murderer. Do you still have to ask Ai's family for a reward?"
Chu Yuyang smiled and said: "The queen mother misunderstood me. It is indeed my job to investigate the case. Besides, if you want to ask for a reward, you should ask the emperor for a reward, right?"
When Zhao Xingduan heard Chu Yuyang mentioning himself, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Chu Yuyang said again: "What I want to say is, the empress dowager thinks that if the murderer is caught, how should he deal with that person?"
The empress dowager said without hesitation: "Of course he will be executed. However, the murderer's actions were cruel. He not only killed the third son, but also set fire to the corpse. It is really outrageous! The Ai family thinks that he must be fed enough You can only die after suffering. Your Dali Temple is the place where cases are tried, and Chu Yuyang should know more about the punishment facilities than the Ai family, so you have to serve him well."
The empress dowager is full of anger. Her own brother just died, and her nephew died again. She was so angry with Chu Yuyang that she was so angry that she had no place to get angry. In the end, they all turned viciously on the murderer who hadn't been caught yet. sprinkled.
Qingsi next to her stopped talking, her face was a little pale with her head lowered, and she couldn't help shaking her body when she heard the empress dowager's words.
After the Empress Dowager and Qingsi left, Zhao Xingduan said: "Take it easy, don't make the Empress Dowager angry."
Chu Yuyang said innocently, "I've already restrained myself."
Zhao Xingduan said: "Are you testing Qingsi just now?"
Chu Yuyang nodded, and said, "I still think she is suspicious. Also, the wound on her hand has been hidden from others, I think it's tricky."
Qingsi still had gauze wrapped around her hands, and she didn't let them see the wound.How could the wound from the porcelain slice be so serious?
Chu Yuyang rubbed her chin and said, "I think I should think of a way, how can I get Qingsi to take off the gauze from her hands?"
Chu Yuyang did think of a way, that is to secretly add some medicine to Qingsi's wound.In fact, this is very easy to do, because Qing Si has been serving the queen mother.Zhao Xingduan asked someone to bring some snacks to the Queen Mother, Qingsi definitely rushed to take them, and then brought them to the Queen Mother himself, just put a little medicine powder on the outside of the plate or bowl.
Qingsi didn't know Chu Yuyang's bad intentions, so she fell for it.She didn't notice it at all, but felt that her gauze-wrapped hand suddenly felt a little itchy, and her wound hurt again because of the itching.When she returned to the room at noon, she took off the gauze, and immediately found that the wound was red and swollen, and it seemed to be purulent.
After thinking about it, Qingsi decided to ask the maid to invite the doctor over.
At this time, Chu Yuyang had already arranged for a "doctor" to treat Qingsi, and followed the maid.Qingsi didn't know that the doctor was a fake, and that he was from Dali Temple. He let him see her wound, but prescribed medicine and bandaged it again.
The "doctor" came out soon, and went to Chu Yuyang to report to him.
There is something wrong with Qingsi's wound, otherwise she wouldn't have covered it up, just like what Chu Yuyang imagined, her wound did have a big problem, it wasn't scratched by broken porcelain at all, the wound was quite long, look It should be stabbed by something metal, but it is not very sharp, and there are some rusts on it, so it should not be a dagger or the like.
Chu Yuyang said: "Sure enough, there is a problem. What did Qingsi do? Why do you have such a wound on your hand?"
The wound was very long, and the skin was ripped apart, no wonder it had to be bandaged so tightly.Anyone who saw this would surely be able to see that the wound on her hand was not caused by broken porcelain.
Chu Yuyang thought about it, and suddenly thought of a possibility, dragged the "doctor" and ran to the mourning hall, and said, "Look, is it possible that the wound was caused by this kind of thing?"
The "doctor" that Chu Yuyang found for Qingsi was actually an assistant from Dali Temple. Although he knew some medical skills, he was obviously more experienced in identifying wounds. Although Qingsi was not a corpse, he was a living person. The wounds are not much different from the wounds of the dead.
Chu Yuyang pointed out that what he made was a coffin nail seven or eight inches long. The nail had already been pulled out, and it was placed aside. There were several in total.The nails were much larger and thicker than ordinary nails, with pointed heads, but not very sharp, and there was still a little bit of inconspicuous rust on the coffin nails.
Wu Zuo picked up a seal, looked at it carefully, and gestured on his hand again, saying: "My lord, it should be this one, the wound fits very well."
Wounds caused by staples.
Zhao Xingduan was a little surprised when he heard that, there was a wound on Qingsi's hand caused by a seal, what does this mean?
The coffin was originally unsealed, but it became stapled the next morning, and Qing Si had a wound on her hand caused by a seal.
Chu Yuyang said: "The nails on this coffin were sealed by Qingsi."
"Is she the one who deliberately planned to kill Master Zhuo?" Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang was also a little puzzled, Qingsi's city was actually not that deep, she was too easy to envy others, this kind of deliberate murder did not seem like something she could think of.
Moreover, in fact, Chu Yuyang always felt that Zhao Boxiao should be the first choice to kill Mr. Zhuo.After all, Zhao Boxiao is the one who planned to rebel, and Master Zhuo and Master Guo were accidentally exposed, so Zhao Boxiao naturally wanted to kill Master Zhuo to silence them, otherwise they hadn't planned well yet, but everyone would know everything. Wouldn't it be a big deal.
However, Zhao Boxiao has been sending people around to inquire about Xie Anyi's news about this matter, and it seems that he has not taken any action on this matter.
Chu Yuyang said: "It won't work like this, we're too passive, if it's someone Qingsi kills, it's actually easier to deal with."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang said: "Qingsi is a jealous person, but she is actually not very courageous. When the Empress Dowager said those few words just now, did you notice that her face turned pale with fright?"
Zhao Xingduan nodded.
Chu Yuyang said: "We might as well scare her and see if she can confess herself."
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said: "The empress dowager is with her at the moment, I'm afraid you won't get any benefits if you go."
Chu Yuyang said: "It only works if the Empress Dowager is present."
Qingsi felt that she was great because of the empress dowager's favor, and Chu Yuyang wanted to scare her in front of the empress dowager, so that she would be even more afraid.You know, if the empress dowager knows everything, she will lose all her backing, which means losing everything. She is naturally afraid.
Chu Yuyang immediately took Zhao Xingduan with him, and of course he brought the gangster as a witness.
The empress dowager was leaning on the chair, listening to Qing Si talking, she seemed quite happy.The servants suddenly said that His Majesty and Mr. Chu had come. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager said, "This Chu Yuyang, why does he always hang around in front of the Ai family if he doesn't investigate the case?"
Qing Si said: "If the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see her, why not ask Qing Si to send him away for you."
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Forget it, let them come in."
Chu Yuyang was followed by the emperor, so she had to give the emperor face.
Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan came in soon, and there were quite a few people who came in. Besides Wu Zuo, they also brought guards in.
Qing Si saw so many people in a daze, and when she saw the doctor who was treating her just now, she panicked and said, "Lord Chu, you have the guts to bring so many guards to see the Empress Dowager! You Do you still have the Empress Dowager in your eyes?"
Chu Yuyang saluted the Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, I have already found the murderer, and I am about to bring the murderer down, that's why I brought so many guards here."
The empress dowager sat up straight and said, "What did you say? You mean, the murderer is on Ai's side?"
Chu Yuyang immediately said: "If you go back to the queen mother, the murderer is Mrs. Qingsi."
"What?" The Empress Dowager was startled, stood up, and said, "This is impossible."
Qingsi knelt down suddenly, and said cryingly: "Queen Mother, don't believe the villain's nonsense, how could I be a murderer, me, how could I do such a thing as murder?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Don't cry, I have evidence here."
Chu Yuyang pointed to the doctor standing at the side, and said: "This is the work of Dali Temple. He has shown the wound on Mrs. Qingsi's hand just now. It's not like what Mrs. Qingsi said, he was injured by broken porcelain pieces. but was wounded by the nails on the coffin."
Yesterday Qing Si said that the wound on her hand was caused by broken porcelain. The Empress Dowager was also present at the time and heard her say so.
The queen mother asked: "Qing Si, what is going on?"
Qing Si almost forgot to cry, and said loudly: "Queen Mother! You have been wronged! Master Chu deliberately wronged me!"
Chu Yuyang said: "The Empress Dowager might as well ask Mrs. Qingsi to take off the gauze from her hand, so she can tell at a glance."
Qingsi protected her injured hand and said, "Don't touch me, and no one should touch me. I didn't kill anyone. Your Majesty, save me. I was wronged."
Qingsi didn't let people see her injury, the queen mother also felt more and more suspicious, she winked at the people around her, and the guards brought by Chu Yuyang didn't need to do anything, the attendants beside the queen mother immediately walked over and took Qing Si forcefully pressed it, and then quickly removed the gauze from her hand.
Qingsi yelled and said: "Don't touch me, don't touch me! You stay away! The emperor save me, the queen mother save me! Chu Yuyang, you are jealous of me, that's why you want to frame me, yes wrong!"
Qingsi screamed at the top of her lungs, like a shrew.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath when she saw the wound on Qingsi's hand, how could such a large wound be caused by broken porcelain pieces.
Wu Zuo immediately took out an eight-inch long seal, and compared it with Qingsi's wound, it was indeed caused by the seal.
The empress dowager's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she said, "What's going on here?"
Chu Yuyang took a closer look at the wound on Qingsi's hand, one end was slightly deeper, the other shallower, the wound was very long, almost crossing the entire palm of the hand.From this appearance, it should have been caused when the seal was smashed, perhaps because Qing Si was too nervous at the time, and accidentally scratched the seal into his hand, leaving a deep scratch.
Qingsi struggled like crazy, but she couldn't struggle at all.
She was trembling all over, and said: "Queen Mother, I, I am innocent, Queen Mother, please help me!"
Chu Yuyang scolded: "When things are coming to an end, you still dare to lie in front of the queen mother, you are really audacious!"
"No, no, no, I didn't intend to kill, it wasn't me," Qing Si yelled, "Help me, Queen Mother! I didn't intend to kill."
Chu Yuyang said: "The evidence is conclusive, no need to say much, just take her down."
"Queen Mother! Your Majesty!" Qing Si shouted louder, saying: "Don't arrest me, don't arrest me, I'm innocent, let me go, someone asked me to do this, I didn't want to kill someone."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Bring her back, Aijia wants to listen to her."
Chu Yuyang beckoned and asked the guards to escort Qingsi back, saying, "Qingsi, if you have anything to say, hurry up, this is your last chance."
Qingsi knelt in front of the queen mother, her eyes were swollen from crying, and said: "Queen mother, I am not the one who wants to kill the master, I have no choice but to."
Qingsi was terrified, crying and telling her suffering.She told the queen mother that she was forced to do so.She was begged by Master Zhuo in front of the Queen Mother, and she was indeed treated well when she was brought back to the manor, but the good times didn't last long, Master Zhuo liked the new and disliked the old, so he had a new concubine.Although the other concubines were afraid of her, her life was not as good as before, and she felt very unbalanced.
When she thought of Zhao Xingduan, she was even more unbalanced. She always felt that she should be a concubine, but now she can only be a concubine.
Just when Qingsi was unhappy, a woman suddenly found her.Qing Si knew that woman, and they had known each other for many years.That woman is living a much better life than him now, and she is well-fed and well-clothed, making Qingsi envious.
The woman told her that there was one thing that Qing Si needed to help with, and after the matter was completed, she would let Qing Si live a life of luxury.
Qingsi was moved by what she said, so she agreed to the woman's words.
The woman asked her to do several things, including drugging Master Zhuo.
This is a big game, and the first scene in the opening scene is Zhuo Sangongzi.
Qingsi said that she found the third young master Zhuo a few days ago, and knowing that the third young master wanted to leave the Zhuo family all the time, she gave him a notice of suspended animation and gave him the medicine to fake death.
The third young master had nothing to do at the time, so he really followed Qingsi's idea, and after feigning death, he pretended to be his mother's servant.
The third young master and his mother were not welcome to be seen. There were a few servants around them who would pay attention to them. In this way, the plan seemed to be going well.
Chu Yuyang was a little surprised when he heard this. It turned out that the person the third son's mother was talking about was actually Qingsi.It really is a big game of chess.
The third son died in a suspended animation, and the coffin was empty.But the plan was forced to change suddenly, that is, the emperor issued an imperial decree to put all the people in the Zhuo Mansion under house arrest. The third son could not take the opportunity to leave at all, so he could only continue to pretend to be a servant.
Mr. Zhuo was under house arrest. He had ghosts in his heart and was very scared.For some reason, someone came to him with a piece of white jade pendant and asked him to conspire with him.Master Zhuo refused at first because he was already the emperor's uncle, but later he wavered again.Because even if he is the emperor's uncle, he is not under one person and above ten thousand, and there are still many people stepping on top of him.
Master Zhuo thought for a long time, and finally agreed.However, he did not expect that the letter he wrote to Mr. Guo would fall into the hands of the emperor.
Qingsi found Master Zhuo when he was most afraid, and told him that there was a way to help him escape.
The serious crime of treason, even if Master Zhuo is Zhao Xingduan's uncle, I am afraid he will lose his head.Lord Zhuo is so scared to death now, he doesn't want any gold, silver or treasure, he just wants to survive.
Master Zhuo immediately agreed to Qingsi's method.
That night, the shadow that the boy saw was Master Zhuo himself. He quietly ran into the mourning hall alone, then opened the coffin, and got in by himself.
This is the idea that Qingsi gave him, Qingsi told him to use the coffin of the third son, Lord Zhuo can use this to escape.
No one would doubt whether the people inside the coffin were dead or alive. When the coffin was left there for too long, the emperor would definitely have the coffin carried out for burial.Master Zhuo only needs to hide in the coffin, and he can leave without anyone noticing.
According to what Qing Si said, Master Zhuo entered the mourning hall while no one was touching.He found that the coffin was unsealed and that there was no body inside!At that time, he thought that Qingsi helped him take care of it, so he didn't suspect him, so he lay down directly.
Master Zhuo lay down in the coffin by himself. Before that, he had eaten the poisonous things that Qingsi had poisoned long before that, and he had already been poisoned.
Just when Master Zhuo was lying in the coffin, Qingsi pretended to meet Master Zhuo and made a big noise. In fact, she wanted to deceive others into thinking that Master Zhuo was still in the room at that time.
Master Zhuo lay in the coffin, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.He didn't dare to make a sound, and didn't dare to let others hear him, so he just stayed like this.
In the middle of the night, Qing Si knew that there was probably no one in the mourning hall, so she got up secretly, and according to the plan, she went to the mourning hall with a small ornament of emerald cabbage.
Sure enough, the mourning hall was empty and pitch-black.Qingsi opened the coffin, and saw Master Zhuo lying inside, but his eyes were closed, his complexion was not very good, it seemed that the poison was about to break out.He wasn't asleep, but actually passed out.
Qingsi opened Master Zhuo's mouth, then stuffed the emerald cabbage into his mouth, poking it until his throat got stuck, so that even if he woke up, he couldn't speak and call for help.
When this was done, she put the lid on the coffin, and then the nails.
It's just that she was too flustered when she did this, and she was very afraid of being discovered, so when she was knocking on the seal, she was in a hurry and nailed her own hand, and the wound was very big.
When Master Zhuo woke up, the toxin had already exploded, and he was so painful that he almost died, and there was almost no strength left in the painful body.And he was shocked to find that he couldn't make a sound, something was stuck in his throat, and his throat was bloody, so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Master Zhuo was startled and terrified. What made him even more frightened was that the coffin was sealed. He tried his best to push the coffin, but he couldn't move at all.
Master Zhuo could vaguely hear voices outside, he knew there were people outside, but no one knew that there was a living person in the coffin.He was in great pain, not just from the poison, but from despair and fear.
He wants to go out, he doesn't want to die here, then this place really becomes his coffin.
Master Zhuo struggled with the last bit of strength, grabbed the lid of the coffin with his hands, and made a creepy sound. The pain in his fingers had already made him unable to fall down.Soon, he swallowed his last breath and never moved again.
After listening to Qingsi's words, the empress dowager felt cold sweat on her back and her clothes were almost wet.
But this is not the end, because there are still three sons.
The third son knew that Mr. Zhuo was dead, and he began to feel that something was wrong. The first thing he wanted to suspect was Qingsi who gave him advice.
So at night, in the dead of night, the third son went to the backyard, trying to find Qingsi to question him.Qingsi was also afraid, she was afraid that the third son would leak her out, so she had already started killing her.When the third son was found, she killed him.He also threw the third son's body by the pond, put the shroud on it, and lit a fire to burn it.In this way, even if someone finds the third son, the third son will be completely changed, and nothing can be seen.
The queen mother said tremblingly: "Quick, quickly put her down, put her down!"
Qing Si threw herself at the Empress Dowager's feet and said, "Empress Dowager, don't arrest me, others asked me to do these things, I, I was wronged!"
The empress dowager felt that Qing Si was crazy, she actually killed two people, and both of them used such cruel methods, and kept saying that she was wronged, even if she didn't come up with the idea, she was not wronged at all.
Qing Si shouted again: "Queen Mother, I was forced, I was forced, it's all because of Lord Zhuo! If Lord Zhuo treats me better, how could I treat him like this. Queen Mother!"
The guards quickly escorted Qing Si away.
Chu Yuyang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and chased him out.
Zhao Xingduan said, "What are you going to do?"
Chu Yuyang just chased her out and asked Qingsi a question, who was the woman she was talking about.Chu Yuyang felt that this woman was probably the one who spread the news.
This woman is too strange, why did Qingsi kill Master Zhuo and stuff a jadeite cabbage into Master Zhuo's mouth?
The empress dowager was in the room, she didn't hear Chu Yuyang's question, but heard Qingsi calling someone's name.
"Changyue! It's Changyue! It's her, it's her who hurt me!"
The Empress Dowager stood up from her chair again in shock.
Chu Yuyang couldn't remember who Changyue was for a while, so she asked, "Who is Changyue?"
Zhao Xingduan frowned and thought for a long time.
Qingsi and Changyue were the women that the empress dowager gave to Zhao Xingduan back then, but they were sent back to the empress dowager by Zhao Xingduan later.
Chu Yuyang has only seen Qingsi, but not Changyue.
Chu Yuyang suddenly realized, otherwise Qingsi would say that they have known each other for a long time.
Chu Yuyang said: "What is this Changyue going to do? I don't think the emerald cabbage in Master Zhuo's mouth can be found randomly. It must have some meaning. But what is its meaning?"
If it is just looking for something, as long as it can prevent Lord Zhuo from shouting, then Changyue would not suggest emerald cabbage.
So, emerald cabbage has a very important meaning, but where is the meaning?Chu Yuyang was at a loss for what to do.They only knew that this item was actually given to Master Zhuo by the Empress Dowager.
Queen Mother...
Chu Yuyang's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Could it be that the person Changyue wanted to threaten was actually the Empress Dowager?
But this is very unlikely, why does Changyue have something to do with the Queen Mother? Why did she threaten the Queen Mother?
Why did Changyue try to kill Master Zhuo in every possible way? What is the purpose of this?
Chu Yuyang frowned and said, "Where is Changyue now?"
No one could answer Chu Yuyang, and no one had paid attention to this woman.Before Changyue was released from the palace, she married a rich businessman. After the rich businessman died, she remarried.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Send someone to inquire."
Chu Yuyang immediately asked Jiang Liuwu to inquire about the whereabouts of Changyue.
The murderer who killed Lord Zhuo and the third son Zhuo had indeed been found, but they had not found Changyue who ordered Qingsi.The case is not considered over, it is just a conclusion.
