Master fake high cold

"Miss... Miss! Is that you, Miss?" He'er's eyes were startled and frightened, her tone trembled unconsciously, and at the same time, she wondered if this was really Miss?

Mu Lan knew that He'er grew up with her, so it was easy to tell the truth from the fake, especially at the time when she witnessed her own murder, so she might not be fooled, so she could only use heavy medicine.

So after she saluted, she said with a serious look: "He'er, actually I went to ask my second brother on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. He didn't mean anything to you, so I didn't mention it again. You shouldn't have murdered him just to be his concubine. to me."

He'er's eyes changed slightly. At that time, she saw Lu Sanlang push the young lady into the river. If the young lady hadn't died, she wouldn't have stayed home for so long, so whether this is true or not.

When she thought of this, she immediately started to cry: "Miss, it's good that you come back. You have been missing for so long, and the servant has been worried. I'm afraid that you will have something bad or bad, just come back."

"The suspect He'er, tell me why you murdered Qiu Wan." Seeing He'er talking about him, the minister of punishment patted the gavel in a timely manner.

He'er's crying stopped, and the second lady said that if she was recruited, she would die, and if she didn't recruit, she would be able to go out sooner or later, and then she would be well compensated.

"This servant doesn't understand your lord's words. Miss is obviously missing, why did she say murder when she came back now? Miss, do you recognize me? I'm He'er, how could this servant murder you."

Mu Lan watched He'er acting, she thought she was worthy of being the big maid of the Shangshu Mansion, she had been following her for so many years and hadn't seen any scenes, it's really good that she can refuse to admit it at this time.

Fortunately, she also came prepared: "He'er, don't be stupid. Since I came back alive, Lu Sanlang and Qiu Tao attempted to kill you. You were just implicated innocently. If you tell the truth, it will be atonement. You I should have seen it at the time. I saw Lu Sanlang pushing me off the boat with my second sister. If someone beside me saw this scene and sneaked into the bottom of the river to rescue me in time, I would not be standing in this court today. above."

Knowing that Lu Sanlang killed her with his own hands, Mu Lan would have told Qiu Tao that she had indeed passed away, but Lu Sanlang and Qiu Tao would definitely not say anything in detail to a maid, so He'er just saw that scene.

Compared with Lu Sanlang and Qiu Tao, even if she pretended to be fake, it would be difficult to deceive them. The only breakthrough point was He Er.

"Miss, what are you talking about? You obviously left the mansion alone that day, and you didn't let the servants follow you." He'er burst into tears, but she was silently thinking that it was impossible. She only saw it with her own eyes before she was convinced that the lady must be dead. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Someone came to the rescue secretly.

This person must be the foster daughter Mu Lan, everyone said that this person looks alike to Miss, even though she has never seen it before, she can imagine that it is really similar, even the tone of speech and small movements are exactly the same.

Mu Lan looked at He'er's face, her eyes dimmed unconsciously, she suddenly sneered and said: "He'er, just watch carefully, if there is anything wrong, call someone loudly, don't trust the second sister."

Everyone was baffled and didn't understand what Mu Lan was talking about, only He'er's eyes were full of horror, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Mu Lan then scolded angrily, "This is what I said in your ear before I boarded the boat. Do you still remember that if you are stubborn again, you will stay in prison with them for the rest of your life? With your father under your pressure, no one will Dare to let you out."

He'er shuddered and lay down on the ground. It is true that the young lady has returned, and the young lady is not dead.

At that time, the young lady had whispered instructions before boarding the boat, and even the second young lady avoided it, only she heard it, and she didn't tell anyone.

He'er's mind was relieved, her low sobs turned into loud sobs, she cried a few times in a daze and crawled to Mu Lan's feet, crying out: "Miss, please save me, it's the Second Miss and Lv Sanlang who conspired to kill you , I can’t help it, I didn’t know they were going to kill you at the time, they were so vicious, and later they threatened me with my mother’s life, I really dare not tell the truth, miss, you are blessed, You save the servant girl, Miss, you save the servant girl, save the servant girl..."

The corners of Mu Lan's mouth straightened, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. She sighed lightly and said, "You surrendered to your second younger sister and plotted against me in order to become a concubine. You know I was thinking that you would not be able to be your second younger brother's concubine. So I released your slave status, found a lover to marry, and even thought about adding more makeup to you at that time, so as to teach your husband to value you. I love you as sisters, how can I let you be a slave for the rest of my life? Maid, but you are still blaming yourself, He'er, you really let me down."

"Miss, I was wrong, my servant was wrong, miss, please forgive me this time, it was the second young lady who promised me to be the second young master's good concubine all day long, the servant is obsessed with ghosts, the second young lady has had an affair with Lu Sanlang, They are the ones who want to harm you, and the servants are forced to do nothing."

He'er was full of pain and remorse, but Mu Lan silently shook her head and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments slapped the gavel again: "Come here, take the suspect down. Now it has come to light. Lu Sanlang and Qiu Tao murdered Qiu Wan's life. According to the law, they should be executed. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and it seemed that He'er had been broken through the psychological defense line. He was telling the truth. Even if Lu Sanlang and Qiu Tao denied it, they would not be exonerated, but Qiu Wan was obviously not dead. Would the death penalty be a bit harsher?

The Dali Temple is in charge of the audit and is in charge of the world's prisons. The minister of the Dali Temple raised questions. The most severe sentence is exile. If the victim is still alive, it is an attempted murder.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments laughed and said: "You don't know that Miss Qiu is not Qiu Wan herself, but Mu Lan, the head of the Ministry of Punishments. Miss Qiu was indeed killed by them."

At this time, Mu Lan also wiped her face with the wet towel prepared by the yamen servant. Although she looked similar to just now, her eyebrows and eyes were not as full of youth as before, and she looked more reserved and less restrained.

Everyone was stunned again. Seeing Qiu Shangshu and Lord Li smiling at each other, they knew that today's case trial was a round. The two old foxes joined forces to make a round. Their role was only to be a witness.

Only Princess Pingfang was shocked, that person was obviously Qiu Wan just now, they have known each other for many years and they would not admit their mistake, but why did they become Mu Lan again?

She looked at Mu Lan incredulously, a guess emerged in her heart for no reason, and then hastily denied it, no, even if Qiu Wan changed her face for revenge, she would not marry someone else, she would not be full of eyes like a fool Only that Li Jubai.

Qiu Wan should be domineering, arrogant, and unattainable, it is impossible to be gentle and careless to others, it is impossible.

Princess Pingfang denied her guess in her heart over and over again, but looking at Mu Lan who was chatting with all the senior court officials with clear eyebrows, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and a tear fell unconsciously from her eyes.

Qiu Wan is already dead, this person can't be Qiu Wan, yes, Qiu Wan is already dead, the Miss Qiu who only crowned the capital is already dead.

"If I take part in the imperial examination in the future, I will be a first-class student."

"Miss Qiu can't do anything else, she is the first to speak out lies, why don't you say that you will win the first prize?"

"What's so good about the number one scholar? I like Tanhua, because Tanhualang is the most beautiful one. The princess has free time to quarrel here. Why don't you go back and read a few more books, so as not to fail to write decent poems every time."

"Qiu Wan, you are bold."

"What does the princess want?"

"You...you wait."

Princess Pingfang stood up in a daze, recalling the previous scene in her mind, Qiu Wan said that she wanted to be Tanhua Lang the most, and Mu Lan was hit by Tan Hua, but Mu Lan was not Qiu Wan, not Qiu Wan.

Qiu Wan and Lu Sanlang are engaged, and she will be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in the future, how could she marry a wife who doesn't know where?

She wouldn't marry a woman, she wasn't...

The people in the hall greeted each other, no one cared when the three princesses in the hall and Princess Pingfang left.

No one cared how Lv Sanlang and Qiu Tao in the prison resisted. The case has been concluded, and the result of the joint trial of the three divisions has been submitted.

Unexpectedly, after learning the result, Lu Sanlang kept asking to see Qiu Shangshu.

Qiu Shangshu thought over and over again, and went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice alone. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, maybe his daughter's death was not that simple.

"I'm just following orders. The one who really wants to kill Wanwan is the Eldest Prince. My father-in-law saved my life, so I can identify the Eldest Prince." Lv Sanlang acted like he was crazy.

Qiu Shangshu pondered for a while, and said with a sneer: "I have been immersed in officialdom for many years, how could I be deceived by you."

Saying so, he flung his sleeves and left,

The eldest prince was born to the noble concubine, but the crown prince was born to the empress, and took up the heir apparent.

He could imagine that the eldest prince was not reconciled, that he had ambitions for the throne, and that every prince had ambitions for the throne, so when the princes wanted to marry Wan Wan, Qiu Shangshu went to the emperor early to ask for an oral order, and his daughter Don't marry a prince, don't join a family, don't enter a high official family.

Only in this way can we avoid getting involved in factional disputes, we can protect ourselves wisely, and we can be a royalist who is only loyal to the emperor from the beginning to the end, so that the Qiu family can prosper forever.

Qiu Shangshu understood that Lu Sanlang and the eldest prince must have colluded, and the proposal to marry Wanwan might have been ordered by the eldest prince, but it must be Lu Sanlang who killed Wanwan.

The eldest prince intends to win over Xu Shizhen, but it is impossible to intentionally murder him.

After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, how can he not even see this simple truth, but there is no need to talk about it with his daughter, there are some things that he takes care of and blocks, there is no need to let the children worry about it.

In the Qiu Mansion, Aunt Qiu invited her to become a nun at the Taoist temple since she knew that Qiu Tao was sentenced to death. Fortunately, the emperor studied in Qiu Shangshu for many years and was the master of suffering, so she did not implicate other people, and Qiu Erlang's fame was preserved. .

Mrs. Qiu looked on coldly. Although Wanwan was alive, Qiu Tao had indeed killed her daughter. It was impossible not to blame her, so it was better not to meet each other.

Knowing that Mrs. Qiu was in conflict, Mu Lan hoped that her mother could change her mood, and she discussed with Li Jubai and sent a letter to Huangzhou Mansion.

"Mother, would you like to accompany your daughter to meet the father-in-law? Then we can discuss how to pay the dowry."

Mrs. Qiu froze, forgetting that her Wanwan was a visiting son-in-law, and she didn't even plan to get married. She should go to see her father-in-law and talk about it carefully, but...

"Ju Bai has just returned from visiting relatives, isn't he going to be on duty at the Imperial Academy? You solved two murder cases in a row in the Ministry of Punishment, can you make a move?"

Mu Lan was silent for a long time, and then she showed a cute smile and said coquettishly: "Mother, I want to stay with you at home, and I don't want to investigate the case, so I handed in my resignation today."

"What! You resigned!" Mrs. Qiu couldn't react.
