152, suspicion and omission

Tang Xiaotang pointed to the word "Yuyan" and asked, "Where is this person?"

Princess Yingyang smiled with a complicated expression and didn't know how to answer. Ci Shuang stretched out her head and looked at it and said, "The maid of Shufeng Pavilion mentioned him. This Yuyan seems to have been in power in the past?"

"Yes, Yuyan was born in Tanhua. She once worked in the household department. Later, when she came to my house, she offered to help the housekeeper make some points. It was indeed my approval." Princess Yingyang replied.

"Then he is the most suspicious person," Tang Xiaotang circled the man's name with a brush. "The time of his first illness coincides with his time in the princess's mansion, and there seem to be a lot of servants in his yard..."

Ci Shuang bent down and picked out a copy from the list she had read and handed it to her: "It's only part of the paper. This Yuyan son even uses the maids in the kitchen and bathroom alone."

Tang Xiaotang took over and took a look. Oh, there are six maids in the room and six rough maids in the yard, plus four book children, three handymen, one sister in charge, and three maids in the kitchen and bathroom, who are only responsible for his food and clothing. Not only that, this master also has his own special horse. And two grooms.

Of course, the following eight people have been screened out by Ci Shuang, which is unlikely to be the culprit. Even so, the number of Yuyan's subordinates is twice that of other recorded male pets, almost catching up with the number of servants around the sparse wind pavilion at the same time.

It can be seen that Mr. Yuyan was really honored at that time.

A male pet who took power before and after the onset of the disease, the servants in the yard - that is, there are many people who can become accomplices, coupled with the bad record of laying off gardeners, this kind of person is not suspicious and really unreasonable.

Princess Yingyang took care of her hair and did not hide it: "Yes, Yuyan is indeed a very calculating and cautious person. At that time, there were six male pets in the house, including before and after him. Except for Youjiao, who came earlier than him and died the year he came, the other four were suppressed by him to varying degrees. ."

"His old plan is the only thing I have seen in my life. In the year when he laid off the gardener in Golang's yard, the nearby farmland was under harvested due to the flood. The tenant farmers could not afford to pay the land rent and didn't even have any surplus food to make a living. It was Yuyan who found me and proposed to me to reduce the government's expenses and help the disaster victims. When there is a harvest in the coming year, it will be at another one-1% profit. When I took it back, I thought it was feasible, so I asked him to let it go. Unexpectedly, he took this opportunity to embezzle nearly a thousand taels of silver behind his back.

What is the concept of thousands of taels of silver? Tang Xiaotang was not very clear. Ci Shuang explained, "If you look at the prices in the East China Sea at that time, a bucket of rice only costs 30 cents." That is, a thousand taels of silver is equal to a thousand copper coins equal to at least 33,000 buckets, equivalent to the current unit of measurement of about 200 tons, which is enough for about 1,000 people to eat for a year...

From ancient times to the present, it is not a good thing to make a fortune in the national disaster. Tang Xiaotang hummed contemptuously.

"Yuyan is both greedy and jealous, but she always hides well in front of me," Princess Yingyang said, "He took the lead in cutting back his clothes and food, and on the other hand, he used his private money to open a small stove for the maids in his personal room, buying them all obediently, and then he obeyed, and then cut the names of people. They spent money from the house to prepare for his land rent next year. Those people went to the tenant farmers for him and told the tenant farmers that if they were willing to cooperate, they could pay less than one hundredth of the grain every year. For this, he would draw four of them, and the tenant farmers could keep six of them.

"Did you know these later?" Tang Xiaotang couldn't help asking in surprise.

Princes Yingyang smiled shyly and said, "Yes, I didn't expect him to be such a person at all, but in the end, his conspiracy was still recognized by the housekeeper at that time. Although the money was recovered, the tenant farmers had to pay food according to the old land rent, and they all gathered around the door to shout for him. Finally, they could only He let it go."

The housekeeper An Ping cautiously interrupted: "I heard from my father that many people in the house only knew that there was Mr. Yuyan. I didn't know that there was a son-in-law. The princes came to comfort Mr. Yuyan. Although they scrambled for him, they were still poisoned and framed by him. Not long after they came, they died one after another."

Princess Yingyang was not afraid of her servants talking about her, but also nodded: "Those years were really blind and blinded by his hypocritical enthusiasm. Now it's really ridiculous to think about it."

So he should be the most suspected?

Tang Xiaotang looked at the few people on the paper and always felt that something was ignored, but he couldn't remember what it was. He was thinking about it when there was a noise outside the yard.

"What are you doing? Don't stop me! I want to see the princess!" A young man was shouting, "You dog slaves, how dare you stop me? Get out of here!"

The maid and the maid and the maid were desperately dissuade them. The man insisted on not listening, and their voices were getting closer and closer.

Princess Yingyang's face sank: "Anping, go and bring me someone."

The housekeeper came back after a moment, followed by a handsome man with jade trees. Looking at the dress, he was also a male favorite in this house. The young man's eyes were red, his wings were fanned, and he knelt down outside the pavilion aggrievedly and complained loudly, "If the princess is tired of me, why don't you kick me out? Why did you turn back? Du Yue knew that her identity was humble and she was not worthy of the princess. She never dared to ask too much. Since the princess wanted to accompany her son-in-law, there was no need to send someone to inform me to prepare! I thought..."

"Enough!" Princess Yingyang shouted harshly to stop his endless complaints, "Anping, I asked you to inform them one by one that my son-in-law is sick. I haven't been anywhere recently. Have you gone?"

The housekeeper immediately bowed and replied, "Go, the residence of the three princes has been notified."

Du Yue said with tears, "The son-in-law has been sick for so many years. When will he get better?" Then he looked at Ci Shuang sitting in the pavilion with tears and became more and more aggrieved. "It's clear that there is a new lover..."

Ci Shuang was suddenly lost and was about to wave his hand to explain. The stone table in front of him was already loud. Princess Yingyang slapped it down, and the three-inch-thick stone table was half broken into several pieces and hit the floor.

Du Yue was so scared that she was silent on the spot and dared not come out.

"How dare an unresperate bastard to talk nonsense in front of the distinguished guests and drag me out to fight!" Under the order of Princess Yingyang, Wuding immediately came in from outside the door and dragged Du Yue, who was shouting, out. Then the sound of sticks came from the courtyard separated by the wall, which made people scared.

Princess Yingyang was so angry that her face was very ugly and said angrily, "Bick him thirty sticks, and then chase him out of the city and tell him to roll as far as he can!"

The cane execution outside the courtyard continued, mixed with the screams and curses of Mr. Du Yue. Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but tremble, thinking that the princess was really cruel. She could still be like this to the people on the pillow, and she didn't know what would happen to others. No wonder she had changed more than 500 male pets over the years, and each of them must have stayed with her for less than a year.

Between the lightning, Tang Xiaotang suddenly remembered a key point he had just ignored - in order to split the personality, the stimulation of injury must last for a long time!

She immediately lowered her head and looked through the book carefully to check the year of Yuyan in the princess's mansion.

As a result, Mr. Yuyan was beaten out by a random stick from entering the house to the end, only four years and two months!

After he left, his condition was not only not good, but also worse and worse today, proving that although this jade face is hateful, it is still not the person they are looking for.

After the thirty-sticks were beaten, the outside had calmed down. The little man's pet was probably knocked unconscious. Princess Yingyang was still holding her arm and still silent with a gloomy face.

"I still have a question," Tang Xiaotang pushed the names of the rest of the people in front of her. "Is there anyone above who is still in the house?"

As soon as Princess Yingyang pouted, the housekeeper immediately met and answered on her behalf: "All the servants in this house are changed every five years, and only the small family has served the princess for generations... The princess is clear! The little one is by no means the one who harmed the emperor's son-in-law. The little ancestors are loyal to the princess. Please observe it clearly!" He was so scared that he even kowtowed and kowtowed blood.

"No one said it was you. Get up." Princess Yingyang pardoned him absent-mindedly and looked at Tang Xiaotang.

Isn't that... "No one meets the conditions?" Tang Xiaotang shook the paper in his hand in disbelief. The people on it have been in this house for up to five years, and they have not lived until now. Is there a day when the elimination method doesn't work?

"Yes."

"Who?"

Cishuang grabbed the paper full of names and kneaded them into a ball: "Yes, but not on this paper, this person was not only in the princess's mansion 200 years ago, but also is still there. If you want to do something, if you want to wave, you will be an accomplice. If you want to hide the truth, everyone will agree with it."

"This person is far away in the sky and close to me." He raised his hand and pointed to Princess Yingyang, the owner of the princess's house in front of him.

Before Tang Xiaotang reacted, Princess Yingyang smiled and said, "In the end, she still doubted me. It seems that this exclusion method is just a delaying strategy? Well, as long as you can provide evidence, it's me, I'm not me, and I have nothing to say.

Ci Shuang said coldly, "No one can persecute the devil for more than 200 years without knowing you. You want us to produce evidence, but all the evidence has been destroyed by you, and all the witnesses will keep their mouths for you. How can we find evidence?"

"The crime of leaving no evidence does not exist." The voice came leisurely, and a yellow shadow swarped over the wall in the night and fell on the opposite rockery.

He squinted his cold eyes and looked at several people in this pavilion: "While destroying the criminal evidence, there will be new criminal evidence left. As long as you do it, I will find out the clues sooner or later."

Princess Yingyang smiled fearlessly and said, "Then I'll wait and see, but for the face of Goro, I still want to remind my uncle not to mislead his judgment because of his personal feelings, and finally let the real murderer go unpunished. That's humiliating the name of uncle and detective."

"It's not just the princess who hasn't left the house for so many years!" The housekeeper suddenly said.

The nearly 50-year-old housekeeper anxiously wanted to defend his master and stulted: "If according to you, the suspicious person is not only a princess, but also a person! There is another person, he and he are also eligible!"

"He is the son-in-law himself!"
