Chapter 627 The Lock Three Years Ago
Since Mr. Wen agreed to this matter, two people from the Ministry of Justice intervened. Mr. Wen is young and promising. If he can show his face to Mr. Wen, he will have a bright future!
Thinking of this, the two officers from the Punishment Department immediately walked over in high spirits. Of course, another point is that no matter how bad they are, they are still members of the Punishment Department, and they cannot be underestimated by a maid.
"You all get out of the way!"
The box was placed between the two women from the Xingguo Duke's mansion. When they saw the two people from the Ministry of Punishment approaching, the two became uneasy.
"There's nothing in this box, it's not forbidden!" A woman stepped forward and stopped the people from the Criminal Department. The eldest lady gave the order and just asked the people from the Criminal Department to take them up the mountain to bluff. What do you really want the Ministry of Punishment personnel to investigate?
"Whether it's a violation or not, you have to check to find out!" The person from the Criminal Department glanced at the old woman and said calmly.
Another man came over, squatted in front of the box, and looked at it carefully.
People from the Criminal Department actually intervened, and the onlookers became more and more puzzled. Could there be something criminal inside?
The noise around them became quieter, and everyone looked at the two people from the Punishment Department who came over. Many people in the capital recognized the clothes of the Punishment Department personnel.
"It's really nothing. I just brought over the box that the fifth lady from our house left in Yuhui Nunnery. Maybe it's been a long time and the fifth lady can't remember it clearly!" The other woman smiled dryly and reached out to pick up the box. Pulled back.
"You can't remember your own box?" The standing Ministry of Punishment officer glanced sideways at the woman. He saw many people when he was handling cases, and he could see a look of panic on the woman's face.
When I didn't intervene before, I just treated it as a joke. The two women in Xingguo's mansion didn't seem to have anything inappropriate. Now that I was about to intervene, I saw that the women looked very uneasy. Is there really something fishy about this box?
"Master Wen, what you mean is that this is a royal temple now. No one can quarrel if they want to. If you make this matter a big deal, it will be contempt for the dignity of the royal family. I can't let you continue to argue? Master Wen, if you don't Forget it if you see it, since you have encountered it, I have to find out the matter for you, so as not to disturb the tranquility of Huaguang Temple!"
The staff of the Criminal Department smiled and said, these words were extremely polite, and they seemed to express their helplessness in intervening. It would be fine if they didn't see this kind of thing. Since they saw it, they would naturally intervene. Although it was not a case, the final decision of the Criminal Department was Isn’t the purpose of maintaining law and order and helping people handle their affairs?
From this point of view, this is really correct.
"But this... this is not a big deal!" said the old lady before, but the old lady behind reached out and pulled her sleeves, indicating her to step back, and then smiled and said to the personnel of the Ministry of Punishments: "Since you two adults If you are so dedicated to helping us, we can't be so disrespectful, please, sir!"
This mother-in-law’s idea is different from the previous one. Although she didn’t originally want the people from the Ministry of Punishment to intervene, she just wanted to find an accident, but after such a stalemate for so long, the accident was not found. Since the people from the Ministry of Punishment want to intervene, let them If you intervene, there will only be benefits to opening this box.
The lady said she should find a way to open the box on the spot.
The two ladies got out of the way, and the two men from the Criminal Department came over and squatted in front of the box together. The two of them did not rush to open the box, but began to examine it carefully. Since they were going to do some shopping, of course they first took the inspection as an excuse. host.
The box looks like it's been there for a while. It's hard to tell how old it is, but it's definitely a long time ago.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the lock hanging on it carefully. Then the two people discussed it in a low voice and came to a pertinent conclusion: "This lock must be at least three years old!"
"Impossible, how is it possible!" The woman, who was standing by and didn't think the two people from the Criminal Department would see anything, turned pale and said anxiously when she heard this.
"This lock must be more than three years old, but I can't say exactly how long it is." No one from the Criminal Department continued without looking at the woman's pale face.
"That's great. It has only been more than two years since our young lady came to Yuhui Nunnery. This quiet room has been lived in by the eldest lady before, so the things in it must also belong to the eldest lady!" Yu Jie's eyes lit up, and she immediately said excitedly.
"Aren't you sure how long it has been? Since you are not sure, how can you say that the lock must be more than three years old?" A woman asked in dissatisfaction.
"It happens that this lock was popular in the capital three years ago. Because the craftsman who made this lock was involved in a murder case, the lock was later lost! Look at the traces of the lock. It seems that it was made three years ago. !" said the personnel from the Criminal Department.
"This...it can't be said that someone bought this lock early. It was useless at the time and was used later!" The woman's heart skipped a beat and she said forcefully.
"It turns out that this lock is not popular now. It was lost long ago. That's really good. Three years ago, our lady probably just came to Beijing and wouldn't have gone out to buy any locks, let alone bought it early. , Leave it and get ready!" Yu Jie immediately arrived and retorted.
"But we can't say that this lock must have been locked three years ago!" The mother-in-law said still stubbornly and unconvinced.
The officers from the Criminal Department ignored them and took a brick to break the lock. Then they opened the box and took out a set of clothes, a box of jewelry and other things.
The clothes are so gorgeous that many people are amazed. They are almost dazzling in the sun, but they look a bit small. When the jewelry box is opened, it makes people feel that the jewelry inside is gorgeous, gorgeous and extraordinary.
"Such small clothes... these are suitable for the fifth lady to wear when going up the mountain! The eldest lady will definitely not be able to wear them!" The two women looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately put on a very casual look and smiled. .
When Shao Wanru arrived at Yuhui'an, she was still young, so it was normal for her clothes to be too small.
"Where did these... clothes come from?" Yu Jie and Qu Le opened their mouths in shock, almost unable to believe what they saw.
"I don't know...this...what's going on?"
Apparently the two maids were also dizzy, and they didn't understand what was going on. Looking at these clothes, it was hard to imagine when they were from.
"The clothes are not too big. They are suitable for girls aged eleven or twelve." The officer from the Criminal Department shook off his clothes and said businesslikely.
"The fifth young lady was not eleven years old when she went to Yuhui Nunnery, but... But the fifth young lady went to Yuhui Nunnery to observe the filial piety of the prince and Princess Qinghua. How could she wear such colorful clothes and treat her like this? Gorgeous jewelry, this...what the hell is going on?"
The two women also looked confused, as if they really didn't know anything, but their voices were so loud that everyone around them heard them.
Reconnecting with the previous events, many people felt that they understood. This Miss Shao Wu is clearly a person who is seeking fame and reputation. She talks about observing filial piety for her parents. Looking at these clothes and jewelry, it is clear that she is pretending to be simple on the surface, but in fact Everything is for others to see.
These clothes and jewelry were clearly for Miss Shao Wu's own use, otherwise the maid would not have been anxious to deny the contents of the box, because she was afraid that people would discover the contents and suspect Miss Shao Wu.
"These things definitely don't belong to our young lady. Our young lady has never seen these things. Someone is trying to frame our young lady. This plan is not to do it once, but to harm her twice!" Yu Jie also woke up at this time and said angrily, "Our lady almost lost her life on the mountain road before. Isn't this enough!"
Her words reminded everyone of what had just happened. Many people were still secretly discussing the danger of this matter. They all felt that the conclusion of the Ministry of Punishment was too simple. This matter did not sound simple. How could a big matter be reduced to a trivial matter in the end? It’s melted!
But in this matter, Miss Shao Wu was really generous. She actually had no objections to the closing of the case and agreed with it. This shows that she is a kind-hearted girl. If she is really a kind-hearted and kind-hearted lady, it seems that she is a kind-hearted girl. It's impossible to really do such an "unfilial" thing.
Seeing that many people were beginning to waver, the mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Why are you talking like this, girl? Who would harm Miss Fifth..."
"How come no one was harmed? Our fifth lady almost lost her life on the mountain road before. At that time, the eldest lady was involved, and now the eldest lady is involved. Is the eldest lady not compatible with our young lady? In the past, our young lady was going to Yuhui Temple. During the Qing Dynasty, the eldest lady also hurried down the mountain, and now these things are all related to the eldest lady!"
Yujie interrupted her mother-in-law angrily. She had always been braver than ordinary girls, and this was not the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Even strictly speaking, she could not be regarded as a maid in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion. Speaking of this It makes me feel more confident.
Hearing what she said, the mother-in-law's face changed with horror. She never expected that Yu Jie would say such bold words in front of so many people. Such words were not something that a servant like her could say. Yes, she is not afraid that the madam will find out and kill her with a stick!
"You...you are presumptuous!"
"Compared with our young lady's life, even if I am reckless, it is better than someone else's unscrupulous frame-up of our young lady." Yu Jie said coldly, took two steps forward and bowed respectfully to the two people from the Criminal Department: "Please give me two more Sir, please find out where these clothes and jewelry come from. Is there really no way to find out who poured the dirty water on our lady!"
"Three years ago, the locks were only clothes that our young lady could wear before. We had just arrived in the capital not long ago, and we really didn't know about this kind of lock. Besides, our young lady was younger at that time, so we had no chance to go out. Even when I go out, I don’t know about this kind of lock, but now everything points to our lady, and I don’t know who our lady has offended, making people so evil!"
Qu Le is also a sharp-tongued Deli who is equally unforgiving. Although he is not as sharp as Yu Jie, the note in his words is closely leaning on Yu Jie, and he sings in harmony, which is very cooperative!
