Chapter 106: Three-in-a-row question
Chapter 106 Three repeated questions
Seeing the aggressive aura of the third princess, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but let out a long sneer: "I don't know how the third princess knew that she was going to make false accusations, but Miss Han didn't say anything?"
The Eldest Princess Lin Luotong immediately sensed that something was wrong, and glared at the third sister angrily. Lin Luochu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he hesitated for a while, not daring to speak anymore, and sat down helplessly.
Chu Nanzhi looked at her meaningfully: "Could it be that the third princess is also involved in this? Are you afraid that she will confess something again?"
As she spoke, she continued to look at Mrs. Han, raised her eyebrows coldly and said, "As far as I know, Mrs. Han has donated more than a thousand taels of silver to Priest Tanhua in the past two years. I am afraid that such a huge amount of silver will Priest Tanhua, a monk, wouldn't be so greedy."
Hearing this, Han sized up Xiaofen beside her with deep annoyance.
Sure enough, it was a wrong decision to let this lowly servant girl out of the mansion carelessly yesterday. She originally wanted to wait until she did some tricks on the way home, but unexpectedly ran into Chu Nanzhi and the county government servants.
If I knew this earlier, I should have tried to get rid of her while she was still in the house.
What a wrong step, the whole game is lost.
Lin Luochu also felt guilty when he heard it. Seeing that Mrs. Han was about to confess, she couldn't help getting up again. Lin Jinshu decisively raised the sword and slashed at the corner of the desk. Notch.
Hu Maoxi, the county magistrate, and the head secretary were so frightened that their foreheads trembled, and they were all stunned.
"Third Aunt, do you really think the sword in your niece's hand is just a decoration?"
Lin Jinshu's face was calm, and he watched the three people opposite him calmly. Senhan's eyes were not angry and prestige, which made people tremble, and no one dared to act rashly again.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Mrs. Han with warm eyes, and then recommended: "This is Princess Jinshu from Jingling City. If you have any unspeakable secrets, you can confide in her."
After thinking for a while, she added: "Mr. Han, you are doomed to die today. I know you came out in a hurry, so you must have a wish for it. If you can trust me, I can do it for you."
Hearing Princess Jinshu's thunderous reputation, and looking at Chu Nanzhi's sincere eyes, Han finally lost all scruples and replied with a smile:
"Miss Chu is trustworthy. I have only one wish. There is an old dress hidden in my home. It was bought for my husband with the two taels of silver he earned when I married my late husband. I have never been willing to wear it. I killed it myself. He no longer has the face to face his heroic spirit, please ask Miss Chu to take the old clothes to the dead husband's spirit on behalf of the slave family."
"Okay, I will live up to my trust."
Chu Nanzhi's brows and eyes blinked deeply: he is also a bitter person who loves to hate, hateful but pitiful.
"Thank you, Mrs. Chu."
After saying this, Han looked blankly at Shen Yang, who had already been weeping, and shook his head with a wry smile: "At the beginning, the slave family harmed you, but the slave family also harmed yourself because of it, whether you want it or not, We are now in debt to each other, and your son, Nujia, will return it to you in the future."
Hearing her words, Hu Maoxi felt that she was making unreasonable words no matter what he heard, and as if he lost his patience, he patted the gavel again, and shouted: "Mr. Han, you have to confess what you should confess. Don't hurry up and confess."
Han glanced at the three princesses coldly, without any hope for the three, and then turned her gaze to Chu Nanzhi. Now that her wish was fulfilled, she had no more nostalgia, and began to state in detail:
"That's right, I really don't know about the poisonous thing called hook kiss flower. Two years ago, under the recommendation of Taoist Ximen, my family met Taoist Tanhua. It is a rare poison. For this reason, the two Taoist priests personally traveled here to pick some seeds and spent nearly two years in Nanhua Guan to grow a piece of hookflower. It is mixed with the honeysuckle in Nanhua Mountain, and no one can detect it. "
After a pause, she looked at Chu Nanzhi and sneered unconsciously: "Miss Chu only learned about the thousand taels of silver donated by the slave family from Xiaofen, a lowly maid, but in fact it was far more than that. In order to repay him, the slave family In the past two years, he has helped him to form good karma. In addition to the tens of thousands of taels of silver donated to the temple, there are nearly ten thousand taels of money donated to him alone. This much silver is needed."
Chu Nanzhi was surprised when she heard this number. It was far beyond her imagination, and she didn't know what this person was trying to do to collect money. Is it just to satisfy the selfish desires of the eldest princesses?
Thinking about it carefully, this is just the silver taels raised from the Han family. There may be other channels to guarantee it. The numbers behind it may be even more shocking.
Thinking of what happened in the meditation today, Chu Nanzhi gradually fell into deep thought.
While hesitating, he heard Hu Maoxi shout: "Bring Taoist Tanhua into the hall."
Not long after, I saw this Taoist walk in with a pleasant expression, but seeing the gloomy faces of the three eldest princesses and Mrs. Han kneeling on the ground, I immediately had a bad premonition in my heart.
"Tanhua Taoist, you help others to commit murder, why don't you quickly kneel down and confess truthfully."
Taoist Priest Tanhua hadn't recovered from his shock when he was so frightened by Hu Maoxi's shout that his legs went limp and he knelt down.
After pondering for a while, he argued without changing his face: "My lord, this matter is not a matter of poverty, you don't want to listen to this thieves woman's one-sided words."
Hu Maoxi was eager to make contributions, so how could he tolerate such sophistry, and immediately reprimanded: "The Han family has already confessed, how dare you deny it?"
"It's just the random biting of this woman before she died."
Tao Priest Tanhua snorted coldly with disdain, and looked at Han Shi who was beside him suspiciously.
Hu Maoxi's face was stiff, and he took another gavel: "You."
He was about to use torture, but seeing a few pairs of angry eyes cast from the bottom right, he immediately stopped the thought.
Chu Nanzhi saw that he was timid, fearing that there would be no result in the interrogation, so she glared at Priest Tan Hua, and angrily took up the topic:
"Since it's none of your business, where did the hooked flowers in the back garden of Nanhua Guanjin Temple come from?"
"This"
Faced with the persecuted question, Priest Tan Hua was at a loss for words.
Chu Nanzhi spoke in a solemn voice, Lianbu paced slightly and cleared his throat: "The hook kiss flower grows in the extreme south, even if the Han family has great ability to get this thing, how can they move it into you in a grand manner? In the back garden of the Golden Palace of Nanhua Temple, could it be that the most heavily guarded place in Guiguan can act recklessly with an outsider like her?"
Reasonable and well-founded reprimands made this Taoist even more difficult to distinguish.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhi's expression gradually returned to normal, and her tone became a little more relaxed: "You keep saying that this matter has nothing to do with you, why are you rushing to destroy the evidence before the government officials enter the temple? ? Why did you bewitch the Eldest Princess to prevent me from entering the temple to search for evidence?"
Such logical and clear repeated questioning made Taoist Tanhua speechless again.
Hu Maoxi was encouraged by hearing this, and even forgot the existence of the three eldest princesses for a while, with a gloomy face, he shouted sharply: "Taoist Tanhua, if you don't tell the truth again, I have plenty of ways to make you confess."
Hearing these words, Daoist Tanhua's complexion darkened, his eyes dimmed, and he secretly looked at the third eldest princess Lin Luochu in horror.
