Yang Qingyuan smiled.

"As expected of Bingzhou Detective, indeed, if this alone does not explain anything, maybe this little maid has a good psychological quality?! So in order to verify my guess, I asked a simple question. But it is this simple question. However, she acted extremely panicked, just like encountering a scripture that she has never read before during an exam!"

Di Zhiyuan already understood what Yang Qingyuan meant, and comparing the two, the problems with this maid had already been revealed.

"By the way! What does your lord's psychological quality mean?!" Di Zhiyuan felt that this word was very strange!

"You don't need to care about these things, we should interrogate Cuizhu as soon as possible!" Yang Qingyuan felt that Di Zhiyuan's focus was very strange!

Soon after, Cui Zhu was brought into the interrogation room.

"You are Madam's personal maid, Cuizhu?!"

Cuizhu was a little flustered at this moment, it could be seen that she was trying her best to keep calm.

"Yes!"

"You should be the last to see Madam!"

The maid hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I don't know, Madam gave me a food box to reward Li Afu and the others, Madam was about to take a nap, and Madam never saw Madam again! Madam! I don't know if I will be the last to see my wife."

Yang Qingyuan nodded to Di Zhiyuan to let him continue the questioning.

"When did Madam give you the food box, and asked you to deliver it!"

Without thinking, the maid immediately replied: "It should be just after noon, and Li Afu and the others missed their meal because of loose soil and pruning, so Madam gave them a banquet."

"The last time you said that this is the number of times you have enjoyed the three of Li Afu's food and drink this month?"

"It's the fourth time! It's already been three times this month!" The maid replied immediately, fearing that Di Zhiyuan would become suspicious.

Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan looked at each other, as expected.

The maid's answers were so proficient, as if she had already recited the answers, she could answer these questions without even thinking.

"How many years have you been in Li's residence? How many years have you been serving Madam?"

"The servant girl entered Li's residence at the age of 12. It has been four years now, and she started working as the wife's personal maid two years ago!"

While the two were asking and answering, Yang Qingyuan who was listening quietly at the side suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Drunk Spider, I want to ask you, after you got the food box, have you ever opened it and looked at the food and wine inside?!"

"The maidservant has never opened it, once she got the food box, she will send it to Li Afu and the others!"

"Officer Cuizhu will ask you again! How is the relationship between the sisters in your wife's courtyard?"

Cui Zhu was stunned for a moment, "Relationship?!"

"Is there any quarrel?!"

"Slave... Slave!? Slave can't tell!?"

Yang Qingyuan looked directly at Cuizhu and narrowed his eyes, "Huh?!"

"The servants really can't tell, there may be a few words in the quarrel, but they are all in the same yard, what kind of big conflict can there be!!?"

Then Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan asked Cuizhu a few more questions casually.

While Cui Zhu was hesitating and answering questions, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the interrogation room.

"Master Yang! Master Di! If you have a humble job, report it!"

After the door of the interrogation room opened, a clerk in a black clerical uniform of Dali Temple was holding a small stack of papers.

Yang Di and Yang Di looked at each other, got up and went to the door. When going out, Di Zhiyuan closed the door behind him, but he didn't close it, but left a gap.

Cui Zhu was sitting in the interrogation room, and could vaguely hear the conversation outside.

"This is the autopsy report made by you..."

"What? Mrs. Li actually died of..."

"Then... isn't it true that you have been deceiving each other with lies?!"

"It must be severely punished! Follow the laws of Zhengda Zhou!"

……

Listening to the intermittent conversations outside, Cuizhu felt that her situation seemed a little bad.

The conversation stopped after a while.

Then the door that was originally concealed opened!

Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan returned to the inquiry room again, but at this moment, the expressions on their faces were no longer the same as before, but full of seriousness.

"Are you going to say it yourself, or let me say it!" Yang Qingyuan casually threw a stack of papers on the table and asked coldly.

Cuizhu was stunned by Yang Qingyuan's cold eyes at this time, and she panicked.

"My lord, what are you talking about? Slaves!? Slaves?! Slaves don't understand!!"

"Da Zhou Law, Fan Zhe admits his guilt, bows his head and submits to the law, and he can forgive his crime at his discretion!? Those who refuse to plead guilty will be punished by half the sentence! I will explain to you, if you confess today, I can When you are sent down, the crime can be reduced by one class, after all, you are an accessory, but if you continue to resist, I can increase the punishment by half at most! Have you thought clearly?!"

"My lord, servant girl... I really don't know what to say!!" Cui Zhu's left hand began to tremble slightly!

"Then me, since you refuse to say it! Then I will say it!!" Yang Qingyuan pointed to a piece of paper on the table and said, "This is the result of the autopsy. Your wife actually died at Sishi! Of course The maids only heard Madam's voice, but didn't see Madam! The only one who entered the room and took the food box is you!"

"At that time, your wife was dead, how can I give you a food box? How can I talk? Could it be your wife's ghost?" When he spoke to the end, Yang Qingyuan's tone was as cold as winter.

"I don't know! I really don't know!"

"It seems that you will not die until you reach the Yellow River!? Li Afu and the other three were poisoned by arsenic, but Wu Zuo found rouge gouache made from peach blossoms in the poisoned food! Since your wife was dead at that time, this rouge The gouache can only be poisoned! Just now the clerk in the yamen has already asked other people, and you are the only one in this mansion who can afford and likes to use this kind of rouge gouache! How do you explain it?"

"My lord, this servant really doesn't know!! Woohoo! Or maybe this servant is favored by Madam! Being envied by others." Cui Zhu replied with tears in her voice.

"Oh?! Is that so!? But it is clearly stated in the record that you have no deep hatred with the maids, so why did you frame you for nothing? And this matter cannot be concealed at all. Did you use this rouge and gouache? The official just needs to send someone to Li's mansion to search and find out!"

Yang Qingyuan's tone became more and more fierce and short of breath, and the pressure on Cuizhu was also increasing!

"My lord! Maybe it was accidentally stained by the servant when delivering the wine and vegetables! The servant... the servant really didn't kill anyone!"

"Accidentally stained it!? But you just said that you never opened the food box when you delivered the food? How could it be stained?! Do you really think that I can't be bullied? Someone drag me out, Serious torture!!"

"Yes!" The two policemen standing outside the door pushed the door and came out, holding sticks, bamboo sticks and other instruments of torture in their hands.
