The moon is passing in the sky, and in a few hours it will be bright.
In the back hall of the Yamen Gate of Dali Temple, the Yamen officials were still standing guard on both sides. Cheng Fenglou was sitting at the top in official uniform, and Wen Ranran was sitting at the bottom with him, holding his eyelids from fighting.
"Bring Qiu Ju!"
Cheng Fenglou gave an order and Qiu Ju was brought up.
Now that Liu Yu'er's death has been found to be the fault of Fan Laoxi, all it takes is to find out that Qiu Ju framed Xia Lishuang and was instigated by someone else.
This was the first time Wen Ranran saw Qiu Ju. The girl had a red scar on her forehead, the size of a red bean. Not only was it not ugly, but it also made her more beautiful.
Qiu Ju knelt on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Qiu Ju, tell me the truth about your life experience!"
Cheng Fenglou ordered, and Qiu Ju replied, "My slave Qiu Ju is sixteen this year. She was originally from Shili Village outside the city. She was sold to the county prince's palace as a maid seven days ago."
Wen Ranran couldn't help but wonder, "Shili Village is a retirement village. On February 14th, the last young woman in their village married to another village. That girl was not you, right?"
During the hundred years of her reincarnation, she had been to the capital hundreds of times and passed by Shili Village several times. Every time she went, the whole village's elders would cry and laugh to see off the last young girl, so she left a deep impression on her.
After hearing this, Qiu Ju thought about it and replied, "This slave was sent to the dental clinic last year."
"Oh, your accent doesn't sound like that of Shilizhuang."
Wen Ranran raised her head and looked at her, "Who sold you to the dental shop?"
"This slave was abducted." Qiu Ju rolled her eyes and said in a panic, "I wanted to come to the capital to find a way to make a living. Unexpectedly, I was knocked unconscious on the way, and I woke up in Yaxing."
.”
"Bold Qiu Ju, you dare to commit fraud!" Cheng Fenglou scolded, "Since she has proof of coming to the city, someone will search her things thoroughly!"
Hearing this, Qiu Ju's eyes flashed with panic and then quickly became calm.
Wen Ranran said, "Her credentials should have been put away. Your accent sounds like someone from Jiajia Village outside the city. I heard that Mr. Jia, a wealthy family in Jiajia Village, has an adopted daughter with a red mole on her eyebrows.
Is it you?"
Qiu Ju was shocked.
Wen Ranran caught it accurately.
I didn’t expect that she was really fooled!
She knew this little thing because of a major event in the Jia family!
"On February 14th, there was a fire in the home of private school teacher Mr. Jia. The couple died tragically, but only the daughter survived. Is it your family's fault?"
Qiu Ju started to look panicked.
Wen Ranran frowned and thought again, "Unfortunately, I happened to see the person who set the fire that day. He was a man. His accent sounded like he was from Shili Village. The man was not tall, fat and short. Do you recognize him?
"
Qiu Ju's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Shili Village? Fat and short?"
There is a door!
Wen Ranran thought for a moment and remembered something she had asked about in order to purchase prison facilities for her husband two days ago.
"I accidentally checked the account books two days ago and saw the account that brought you into the house, so I asked in passing and found out that you were sent here along with several other maids by Liu Po, the dentist from the dental shop in the east of the city."
"I heard that this Liu Po, who is fat and short, is a well-known gambler in Shili Village. He owes a lot of debt. Eight days ago, the debtor sued him to the government office. He was punished with forty sticks and was ordered to repay within ten days.
The debt is four thousand taels, or else I will be imprisoned for five years and pay the debt with hard labor!"
Qiu Ju seemed to be still in a state of shock. When she heard Wen Ranran's words, she became even more excited and angry.
Wen Ranran observed her and continued to talk about the plot based on guesses.
"But he paid back the money three days ago. Did you give him this money?"
"The man I saw that day..."
Before Wen Ranran finished speaking, Qiu Ju suddenly raised her eyes and asked her, "Did you really see that Liu Po set the fire?!"
Wen Ranran said tentatively, "It should be Liu Po?"
She also saw it twice occasionally, but didn't see it clearly.
"That's him!" Qiu Ju gritted her teeth at this time and said bitterly, "I thought he saved me and was helpful to me, but I didn't expect that he was the one who killed my parents! Yes, he was the one who killed my parents for the sake of the three of them.
I was asked to kill the girl for a thousand taels of silver, but I didn’t know that the girl was the princess of Binguo!"
Wen Ranran was pleasantly surprised.
She actually solved the case with very little information and blind guessing of the plot!
God has eyes!
Cheng Fenglou was equally surprised, "Who instigated him?"
"I don't know." Qiu Ju prostrated on the ground and said with tears streaming down her face, "Please make the decision, sir, to arrest Liu Po and redress the injustice of my parents who died tragically!"
