Fast Travel: The Daily Life of the Buddhist Villain's Self-Saving

Not only did Su Luochen keep an eye on the evil sixth prince and others, he has also been investigating the case of sister Ye Yan for the past few years.

But Shen Qingli's case was too long ago, and there were too few clues. Su Luochen spent several years without making much progress.However, a case received by the Ministry of Punishment caught his attention that day.

The criminal, a woman in her 30s, was charged with stealing and selling palace property.What the criminal sold was gold and silver jewelry stolen from the palace. Although the criminal did not confess, it can basically be concluded that she was a maid from the palace.The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice is a family man. He likes to buy some jewelry for his wife when he is free. When he sees the stolen goods, he says that these jewelry are the most popular styles more than ten years ago.

From this, Su Luochen thought that after Shen Qingli's death 13 years ago, Ruixi, a court lady in the royal dining room who was very close to her, eloped with someone shortly thereafter.Su Luochen speculated that perhaps Ruixi eloped with the guards because she knew the inside story of Shen Qingli's murder and was afraid of being silenced.The culprit in this case was a court lady, and the stolen jewelry was all styles more than ten years ago, so Su Luochen guessed that the culprit was most likely Ruixi who had escaped from the palace.

Su Luochen interrogated the criminal in this case overnight, but he didn't tell Ye Yan about it. If this person wasn't Ruixi, Su Luochen couldn't bear to see Ye Yan's disappointed expression.

The criminal said that her name was Li Qiurong, and she used to live in the countryside with her husband. Recently, her husband became seriously ill, and the level of doctors in the countryside was limited, so she had to come to the capital with her husband.But the doctor's fees for seeing her husband were too expensive, so she had no choice but to take out the jewelry passed down by her mother to sell on the black market, hoping to sell some money for her husband's medical treatment.When the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent people to search the black market, they caught her right away, and only then did she know that the jewelry her mother left for her was actually something from the palace.She said that her mother was originally a court lady, and these jewelry should have been brought out by her when she left the palace, so they were not stolen goods.

After listening to Li Qiurong's confession, Su Luochen thought for a while and said, "Li Qiurong, there are two problems in your confession. The first point is that you didn't know that these jewelry belonged to the palace, but if you think these jewelry It's just ordinary jewelry, you can just take them to the pawn shop, why do you have to risk being caught and sell them on the black market? The second point, you said that this jewelry was left to you by your mother, you are 33 years old If your mother hadn’t passed away, she should be about 50 years old this year. These jewelry are styles more than ten years ago. We assume that this jewelry was brought out by your mother from the palace 15 years ago. Of course, the maids saved some gold during their service in the palace Silver jewelry is normal, but let’s calculate the age, subtract fifteen from fifty, and your mother should be about 35 years old when she leaves the palace, but the age at which a court lady is released from the palace after her service period is 25. Therefore, you Just lied."

Li Qiurong hesitated and couldn't speak, so Su Luochen asked her: "Do you know a court lady named Liuli?"

Li Qiurong's expression darkened, and she quickly said, "No... I don't know you."

Su Luochen saw Li Qiurong's guilty look just now, so he continued: "These jewelry are not your mother's, but yours, right? The real court lady should be you too? Your name in the palace is Ruixi?"

Li Qiurong was shocked, and quickly denied it: "What Ruixi, Caomin has never heard of it."

Su Luochen sneered and said, "Okay, then explain to me the question I raised about your testimony just now."

Li Qiurong couldn't explain it, so she could only bow her head and kneel there.

Su Luochen sighed and said: "I know that you knew something you shouldn't know 13 years ago. You were afraid of being silenced, so you eloped and fled to me with the guards you were friends with. But you have to understand one thing, if you If you don’t recruit, your jewelry of unknown origin can only be treated as stolen goods. Stealing property from the palace is a capital offense. If you die, what will your husband who is seriously ill do? If you recruit, your jewelry will not be Stolen goods, you will only be regarded as a palace maid who escaped from the palace. I am in accordance with the law that a court lady who escapes from the palace without permission will not be punished with death. She will only be fined twenty sticks. And tell me what happened 13 years ago, not only will I not arrest your bodyguard, but I will also pay for his medical treatment."

Li Qiurong heard Su Luochen said that he would pay for her husband's medical treatment, so she quickly raised her head and asked, "You promise?"

Su Luochen said firmly: "I promise with my life, if I break my promise, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and I will die a bad death."

Li Qiurong saw that Su Luochen made such a heavy oath, and just as Su Luochen said just now, she might be able to live if she recruited, but if she didn't, she would definitely be sentenced to death.So Li Qiurong made up her mind and said, "My lord guessed right, I am indeed Ruixi."

Then she told Su Luochen what happened 13 years ago.

Both Ruixi and Liuli are maids of honor in the imperial dining room, and because they entered the palace in the same wave, the two of them have always been in love with sisters and talked about everything.

Liuli is a smart and hardworking girl. She was a cook before entering the palace, and she cooks well. In addition, she knows a little bit about medicine, so she has always been responsible for the medicinal food of the palace masters.

Thirteen years ago, Liuli told Ruixi one day that a master in the palace suddenly added perilla and amomum to her medicinal diet in recent days. She remembered that the combination of perilla and amomum was used to prevent pregnancy. Generally, concubines would have to inform the imperial hospital and the imperial dining room when they were pregnant, but no one had heard of the news that the master was pregnant.

Ruixi didn't know much about medicine, so she urged Liuli to ask Yin Zihuai.Yin Zihuai is a new imperial doctor from the imperial hospital, young and handsome, and Liuli once contracted a cold, which was the disease that Yin imperial physician saw for her. They have known each other for a long time, and they have developed love for each other.But palace maids and imperial physicians are not allowed to communicate, so they have not pierced this layer of window paper.

But Liuli liked Yin Zihuai very much, so Ruixi asked her as soon as she encouraged her.Yin Zihuai's expression was very solemn when he knew about this incident, and he warned Liuli not to speak out about it, otherwise he might be killed.Liuli was very scared, so she promised him not to tell others.

But a few days later, Liuli went to deliver supper to the queen at night, and never came back after that.The next day, someone found her body in the lotus pond in the imperial garden, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice ruled her death as an accidental death by falling into the water.But Ruixi knew that this matter was not that simple, Liuli must have been silenced because of the medicinal food.Ruixi was very frightened when she found out about this incident. She was afraid that she would be the next to die, so she told the matter to the guards she was in love with. The guards took her out of the palace secretly to save her.

She has been hiding in the countryside since she got married with the guards, but her husband-in-law has been seriously ill recently, and the doctors in the countryside don't like it, so they can only come to the capital.But the fees charged by the doctors in the capital for consultation and medicine were too high, so Ruixi had to take out the gold and silver jewelry she had saved in the palace as gifts from the empresses of the palace, hoping to sell some money for her husband to see a doctor.But these jewelry belonged to the palace, she didn't dare to sell them blatantly, so she thought of exchanging these jewelry on the black market for money.As a result, it happened that Su Luochen had been dealing with the market recently, so he was very unlucky enough to be arrested.
