MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 107 [Minor repair] [Two more in one]...
Lin Chengyou glanced at Wu Qi: "Why did she send gold to Wang Li?"
Jiao'er: "Because Wang Li helped her with things, this gold is her reward."
"What have you done?"
Jiao'er said timidly, "Help me arrange the plot—"
"President." Wu Qi suddenly interrupted Jiao'er.
Afterwards, he left the table in a hurry, bowed his head to Dean Liu and saluted: "You are the one who grew up watching students. You know the temperament of students best. I have a straightforward temperament since I was a child, how could I do such a thing? Buy a maid. It's not difficult, this is clearly a framing against the Wu family. My eldest sister had an accident not long ago, is this going to be my turn again? Also ask the dean to do justice, rather than being splashed with dirty water for no reason, Aqi would rather Suicide to prove innocence!"
She was filled with righteous indignation, and the words in her throat made her look like she was aggrieved.
Deputy Liu's heart softened, and hurriedly helped Wu Qi up: "Good boy, don't worry."
Wu Qi wiped away her tears.
Vice-President Liu and Mrs. Wu have a very close personal relationship, and usually take care of the Wu family sisters in the academy. Tonight, Mrs. Wu did not leave the city to take care of her eldest daughter who lost her soul. When this happened, she was also responsible for it, so she politely told the Queen. Said: "My mother knows. I know that A Qi is a child. She has always been honest, and she absolutely cannot do such despicable acts. I am afraid that it is difficult to be accurate based on the words of a maid."
The queen thought for a while, and said to the bottom, "You'er. Apart from this maid's testimony, is there any other evidence?"
Lin Chengyou stared at Jiao'er beside his feet, and made a fuss about this. Jiao'er was obviously a lot more confused than before, and she knelt on the ground, but she didn't dare to say a word. He raised his head and glanced at Wu Qi, and then took over the Queen's words: "Yes. My nephew had expected that these two thieves were very cunning tonight, so how dare you not make all preparations."
He said to Jiao'er, "Don't worry, she will never be able to run away. As long as you tell everything you know, I will keep you unscathed, but if you falter, when she gets out tonight, the first person to look back is against you."
Jiao Er's scalp froze: "Second Niang, Er Niang asked Wang Li to send the two poems to Yining Square, and Wang Li said that she would find a way to send them to Lu Gongzi."
Lin Chengyou: "Speak clearly, which two poems?"
"The poems Erniang stole from Mrs. Du."
"As soon as I stole it out that night, I gave it to Wang Hao? Your second mother already recognized Young Master Lu?"
Jiao'er shook her head: "I don't know. This is Wang Li's idea."
"Is your second mother familiar with Wang Li?"
"I know each other very well. The two of them got to know each other through the introduction of Master Jing Chen from Yu Zhen Nu Guan Guan."
At the banquet, the pot exploded immediately. Master Jing Chen was a criminal who had been hunted down by the court for many years, and he committed suicide a while ago because of his failure.
"You are talking nonsense!" Wu Qi duan shouted, "Sir, I heard that you are very capable of solving cases. You have always been like watching fire. How can you be so confused tonight that you are led by the nose by a maid? Jiao'er has long been bribed. All that was said was—"
Lin Chengyou raised his hand and asked the yamen to separate Wu Qi from the people around him, and signaled to the few palace guards with strong martial arts to prevent someone from plotting against Wu Qi, and then said to Jiao Er: "Continue to talk."
Jiao'er wiped her sweat indiscriminately and told everything she knew.
About five or six years ago, Wu Qi heard that Yuzhen Nuguan Guan's wish was fulfilled by chance. Since then, she often went to the temple to burn incense. Poetry is held there.
After going back and forth, I got to know Master Jing Chen very well. At first, I just had a chat with Master Tai over tea, and later I started to learn some strange martial arts from Master Tai.
This "porridge seller" Wang Li was introduced to Wu Qi by Shitai Jingchen at that time, but at that time Wang Li didn't sell porridge everywhere, but called herself Mrs. Liu, who had long run a cake shop in the West City.
Master Jing Chen told Wu Qi that she was often not in Chang'an, and Wu Qi could go directly to Wang Li if she had anything.
After Jing Chen taught Tai Fu Fa a while ago, Mrs. Liu was afraid of being tracked down by the imperial court, so she no longer bought hu cakes, but changed her face and sold porridge in the streets all day long.
From then on, Wu Qi could only discuss matters with Wang Li.
When Wang Li learned that Wu Qi wanted to deal with Du Tinglan, she wrote back and asked Wu Qi to steal Du Tinglan's small belongings, saying that she would take care of the rest and smear Du Tinglan's reputation. "
"So, don't you Erniang know that these two poems will be delivered to Lu Zhaoan in the end?"
Jiao Er said: "Er Niang didn't know this person before. That day Er Niang stole Du Niangzi's poems and ordered her maid to give it to Wang Mi. Wang Mi quickly replied that the arrangement had been arranged here, but it was only when the time came. There are so many people with mixed eyes, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made, in order to be safe, let Erniang make some other preparations, and if necessary, you can push this matter on the daughter of the Peng family, and remember to do it without leaving any traces."
Hearing this, Peng Huayue grabbed Wu Qi at a glance, and Peng Jinxiu's eyes were full of hatred.
"How can you know the details of these letters so well?" Lin Chengyou said with interest, "Even if your second mother trusts you, Wang Li can't be unguarded, you just help spread the letter, how can you know this? Details, unless... you peeked at their letters."
Jiao'er twisted her fingers uneasily.
"Why did you peek at the master's letter?" Lin Chengyou asked with great interest, "Did you start to feel scared when you learned that Wu Erniang murdered your sister? That's right, although you already knew that your master was dirty, But she at least never murdered her own family before. After this incident, you found out that your family owner's heart has been rotten, and when you help them deliver letters, you will look at it without revealing any traces beforehand. The reason why you do this is because I don't want to die in vain, a person who can even deal with his own sister can't be soft on his personal servant."
Jiao'er's shoulders trembled suddenly, and she fell to the ground shivering.
"The maid...is very scared, but...but not just because of the aunt's incident, but earlier, after learning that the death of Li Ying'er in Chuguo Temple was related to them, the maid was very afraid. "
"Li Ying'er's death?"
Jiao'er nodded. At that time, Wu Qi was depressed all day because of Aunt Wu and Da Gongzi Zheng's withdrawal from their marriage. Jiao'er thought that Erniang was like this because her sister was wronged, but only later did she know that the government was negotiating to let Aunt Wu run for election. , and there has never been a precedent for the two sisters to run for the crown princess at the same time in this dynasty.
One day not long before the academy started, Wu Qi suddenly went out of her way. Instead of buying porridge to deliver the letter, she pretended to go to Wang Yu in person. Because the situation was too urgent, she met Wang Yu at the door before Jiaoer left. speak up.
"Don't you want you to take away people's souls, why did they cause people's lives?"
When Jiao Er heard this outside the window, she held her breath on the spot.
Wang Mi said: "There was an accident at the time of the incident. There is a well in the temple. It is reasonable to say that Li Ying'er will only be in a coma after her soul is taken away. The well stumbled and fell. We didn't expect this."
Wu Qi: "But I heard that because of the girl's death, Chang'an County sent the body to the Dali Temple! The Dali Temple has been disturbed, aren't they afraid that they will find us?"
Wang Li said: "Dali Temple has been secretly investigating this matter for a long time, why not take the opportunity to make a serial case, the culprits have been found, and the whole thing will be done without any trace. If you don't do it now Now, this girl will die in vain. Don't you want to be a crown princess? Why don't you think about your current situation. Your elder sister resigned from the relationship, and Ling Zun made a big fuss with the Zheng family. I heard that Mrs. Zheng also participated. To choose the Crown Princess, Ling Zunzheng tried his best to suppress the Zheng family. Your elder sister is more talented and beautiful than you, and according to your mother's love for your sister, this crown princess is not yours. —”
Suddenly, she seemed to hear a small noise outside, and Wang Mi said sharply, "Didn't you send your maid away?"
When he raised his hand, a silver thread was shot out. The silver thread was as sharp as a knife, and it almost rubbed the tip of Jiao'er's nose. Jiao'er broke out in cold sweat and stumbled away.
Although she was not killed by Wang Li on the spot, Jiao Er knew that she would be silenced sooner or later, just because Er Niang would not be able to find a trustworthy maid for a while, so she was left for the time being.
That night Jiaoer had a nightmare.
She was afraid, but after all, she only heard a few words during the day, and she didn't realize that this was just the beginning.
It was not until Wu Zhang's accident that she understood what the "serial case" that Wang Li said that day meant.
If Wu Hang was directly murdered, Dali Temple would soon have an insight into the murderer's motive, and then the focus of the investigation would also be on people close to Wu Auntie, so that Erniang would easily be exposed.
But it would be different if there was a Li Ying'er whose soul was taken away before this case. Li Ying'er and Wu Zhangsu did not know each other, and they were murdered in the same way. Anyone would think that this was the murderer's motive. It is to collect souls, and Wu Xiang was only selected by the murderer because of bad luck.
"After I figured out the whole thing, the maid was not only afraid, but also very sorry in conscience. When the aunt was in the mansion, she was very kind to us servants. If the maid reminded the aunt earlier, maybe the aunt would not have this problem. It's difficult. Seeing the auntie's silly appearance these days, the maid is very uneasy."
"If you have such a conscience, you should have told your master about this long ago. Why do you continue to help your wife to harm Mrs. Du?"
"Because—" Jiao'er raised her head suddenly, "because Erniang threatened the slave and said that if I told this matter, Wang Mi would immediately use the same method to harm the slave's grandfather and younger brother, and then said to the slave, After that, she still had a lot of things for her maid to help her. She couldn't trust anyone except the maid, so last time she knew that the maid was eavesdropping, and she didn't let Wang Mi hurt me. Crown Princess, the maid will have countless benefits in the future. Of course, the maid does not want to do this, but the maid is afraid that the family will be implicated."
Lin Chengyou laughed, if he really wanted to tell the truth, Wang Li might not be able to get the news in time. After all, prosperity and wealth are the most important things. The Crown Princess is only one step away from the Queen. What that means, this maid knows very well, plus Wu Qi’s soft words to coax, she can’t help but daydream. Wu Erniang's loyal servant, knowing that he has no conscience, did not forget to use words to whitewash it.
"You spit out blood!" Wu Qi laughed in anger, "Did Dali Temple actually decide the case like this? Can crazy words that are topsy-turvy be used as testimony?"
Lin Chengyou rushed behind and beckoned, and the officers brought the cage beside Wang Hao over.
"Wang Mi was caught on the spot by us this morning, and we couldn't rush back to the room to destroy the evidence. This search made us find a lot of interesting things. This is a letter box, hidden in a secret compartment in the room. There are no letters from anyone else, just your own handwritten letters to her."
Lin Chengyou took out a letter box from the cage, took out one of the letters in front of Wu Qi, and then slowly unfolded it.
Wu Qi fixed her eyes and her face changed in an instant.
Lin Chengyou looked at her clearly: "I know, Master Jing Chen must have taught you some way to make the ink disappear, as long as you do some hands and feet in the ink, the handwriting on the letter will disappear within a long time, you are sure that you are The letter you handed over will not leave a handle, so you have no fear. But you never imagined that although Shitai Jingchen and Wang Li tempted you and used you, they also guarded you. She did something else to your Murray. , only disappears for a moment, and it will reappear in a day, and all this is to threaten you with deadly evidence in the future. The handwriting on this is clear, and once you check it, you will know that it was written by you. "
"Can't handwriting be faked?" Wu Qi gritted her teeth and said, "That person bought Jiao'er, so he could easily forge my handwriting—"
Lin Chengyou: "What a tough mouth, fortunately, Wang Li is smarter than I thought, and she also knows what kind of person you are, and she knows that once the incident happens, you will definitely get rid of it, so she gave you one time. A piece of suede cloth, on the grounds of taking the soul, let you draw the birthmarks and moles on your elder sister's body. There is a black mole the size of a mung bean between your elder sister's toes. This is not only you. A-niang didn't know about it, and neither did the maids around your sister's side, but you asked about it from your sister's mouth. After that, you dipped in that special ink and drew your sister's body in detail on the suede cloth. The shape and location of the eleven large and small birthmarks and moles, including the one between the toes."
These remarks were like a boulder, which suddenly caused an uproar. The handwriting could be imitated, but only the closest people could know the privacy of the other party.
Dean Liu also seemed to be shaken, his face full of shock.
"As everyone knows, an article was written on the suede cloth. When you painted your sister's birthmark, you left a lot of palm lines on the cloth. You couldn't see it at the time, but it will show up later. Did you draw it yourself? , just compare the palm prints."
Wu Qi looked at the suede cloth miserably.
Lin Chengyou sneered: "I can't think of it? In order to deal with you, Master Jing Chen let his subordinates keep his hands too early. In fact, this is not surprising. From the moment you decide to deal with the 'evil', you should be prepared to be 'evil'. Be prepared to ask for remuneration. They have worked so hard to help you become a crown princess, in order to obtain benefits from it, rather than being bitten by you in the future. Only by showing hard evidence that you cannot deny can you kill Erniang Wu. Death is in your hands. After all your organs are exhausted, you can't be considered a devil after all."
Saying that, people took the suede cloth and began to compare Wu Qi's palm prints one by one.
Wu Qi's complexion changed a few times, and suddenly she shouted, "Don't come here!"
"If you still refuse to admit it, there is more evidence here, do you need me to show them one by one?
There was silence during the banquet, and everyone looked at Wu Qi with bated breath. Compared with the horrified eyes of Vice President Liu and others, the eyes of the classmates were more complicated, with disgust, shock, and more regret.
Wu Qi's chest heaved violently for a while, and she lowered her eyes in disgust: "It's unnecessary. I admit, I did it."
Before he finished speaking, a jade-faced boy suddenly came out from behind the pavilion on the west side. I don't know if it was because of extreme grief or despair. Staggering, with a pale face, he finally got to the front, but he forgot to bow down to the Empress.
It was Wu Yuanluo, he had come a long time ago, but he always believed that it was just a misunderstanding until he heard Wu Qi confess guilt.
"What did you do?" Wu Yuanluo stared at Wu Qi, "Why?! Auntie is your sister!"
"Why?" Wu Qi raised her voice abruptly, "It's not because you forced me! Do you know why I went to Yuzhen Nuguan Guan to make a wish for incense when I was ten years old? Because you all love my sister, I make a wish to make you like it more. My point, don't only see my sister. If not, how could Shitai Jingchen use this to lure me down the wrong path?!"
Wu Yuanluo seemed to be strangled by the throat, and suddenly froze.
"How eccentric you and your mother are, don't you know it in your own heart?" Wu Qi sneered again and again, "It was agreed that I would run for the crown princess election, but in the end, as soon as my sister is dismissed from the relationship, you will immediately choose one for her. There is a better marriage. Grandpa said that my appearance and knowledge are not as good as my sister, so I went directly to the imperial court to ask for my sister to run for election! Do you know how many years I have been preparing for this moment? If you don’t ask me, it will be ruined. All of this. You have no regrets about it at all, and even my sister takes it for granted. What am I in this family? Do you have any heart?"
"But you never said that you wanted to run for the crown princess." Wu Yuanluo's voice was sanded, "You have said more than once that you want to choose your own husband, but when Grandpa said you want to run for election, I only regard you as you. I don’t want to, I have strongly opposed it.”
"That's not because I have long been accustomed to hiding my true thoughts." Wu Qi's eyes were full of ridicule, "When Grandpa was still serving as a junior servant in the Ministry of Personnel, Zheng Pushe was already an important member of the court. He appreciates Grandpa's talents and intends to marry the Wu family. The Zheng family is one of the most famous families in Chang'an, and there are not many officials who want to marry the Zheng family. My sister and I are only one year apart, but Grandpa is not. I don't even want to let my sister get married. Even if my sister and Zheng Dalang clashed for the first few years, even if they could only wait until this year to officially get married, my grandfather would not hesitate. From that moment, I understood that the best thing , I want to leave everything to my most beloved eldest daughter, my second daughter, I can only pick up what my sister has left."
She laughed bitterly.
"And you—" Wu Qi gritted her teeth, "You remember all your sister's preferences, even when you helped her buy a candy man, you didn't forget to dip in flax, as for my second sister, when did you ever take it to heart? One year, I got lost in the maze of Yuzhen's Women's Crown View. The teacher went out temporarily. There were only a few women's crowns who didn't understand the organization. They were afraid that something would happen to me, so they rushed to the Wu family to deliver the letter. Come and save me, because there is no mystery in this world that you can't solve, the sky is getting darker and darker, and I am extremely afraid, but I have not been able to wait for my brother to come, and at the end, it was the prince who passed by and listened It was said that someone was trapped in the Guan, and I was led out of the Guan."
Speaking of this, Wu Qi couldn't help but look at the prince on the seat. The prince was a little surprised and a little confused. Obviously, this early experience was long forgotten by him.
Although Wu Qi's gaze only stayed on the prince for a moment, a soft and complicated feeling burst out faintly.
Teng Yuyi looked at Wu Qi coldly, and her heart gradually seemed to freeze.
I see.
She had guessed countless times about the motives of the people in the black cloak murdering her in the previous life. Although she finally guessed that it was because the prince wanted to marry her, she did not expect that there were other complicated feelings mixed in.
Obviously, the reason why Wu Qi regards marrying the prince as an obsession is not only to outsmart her own sister, but also to have an exclusive desire.
I remember that when she and Deng Wu were ordered to visit Daming Palace in the previous life, the queen only rewarded Deng Weili and Wu Qi with eight pieces of silk each, but the one who rewarded her was Jie Bao Luo Xiang, known as the "Crown of Hundred Medicines".
Wu Qi's killing intent towards her must have been buried at that moment. After that, the crown prince not only frequently inquired about her current situation, but also claimed that she would marry her after she became filial. These news reached Wu Qi's ears, and the killing intent buried in her heart brewed into a real action.
I remember that there were no such big monsters and monsters in the previous life. Xiaoya once said that this may be related to the disaster caused by the change of fate against the sky. At that time, Shitai had not yet been exposed, and Wu Qi had colluded with Shitai, so that night It is very likely that the man in black cloak was sent by Wu Qi's teacher.
These people have different ideas, but their purpose is obviously the same: to help Wu Qi become the crown princess.
As for Deng Weili, Grandpa said that the sage intends to exalt the courtiers who support Pingfan, but Deng Shizhong strongly opposes the sage Pingfan. In order to suppress the opposition to Pingfan in the court, Deng Weili's hope of electing the crown prince is very slim.
This means that as long as she is removed, Wu Qi will be the only candidate left for the crown princess.
So they have a clear goal, and they will kill her as soon as they enter the mansion.
Whether in the past or this life, this Wu Qi is extremely vicious.
She killed her in the past life, and murdered her own sister in this life.
Teng Yuyi clenched her palm subconsciously, she hated, she wished she could tear the devil in front of her to pieces.
She was sad, sad that she died in vain at the hands of such a person. In her previous life, she was just an orphan, her mother passed away early, and her grandfather also left. Because of such a conspiracy, she was even deprived of the qualification to live alone.
Wu Yuanluo clearly understood the affection in his sister's eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Why didn't you tell my brother earlier?!"
"I said you would help me?" Wu Qi snorted, "No, you will still give the best to my sister. No one in this world can help me, I can only rely on myself!"
Lin Chengyou chirped coldly: "So you have to eliminate everyone who might hinder you from becoming a crown princess? So you murdered your elder sister, framed Mrs. Deng, plotted against Mrs. Du, and even plotted against Mrs. Teng on Mount Li?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Teng Yuyi subconsciously, and unexpectedly found that she was looking at Wu Qi with hatred. The hatred was so deep, it seemed that the enemy who had been searching for many years had unexpectedly appeared in front of him, but it was a bit sad, like It was the melancholy that couldn't be relieved that was entrenched in his heart, and Lin Chengyou was stunned. Such a strong emotion was not just because the elder sister was almost plotted by the person in front of her—
