C255 First proof
Baili Jinxiu's words made the corner of Feng Wuhen's mouth curve, and he stretched out his hand to the front of the two rooms and chose one.
"This is the person in charge of Baili Mo's study, this is the person from the courtyard."
Baili Jinxiu thought for a while, then walked towards the person in charge of the garden. Baili Jinxiu opened the wooden stake and pushed open the door.
Upon entering, he saw four people curled up on the ground, each of them with a dirty appearance. There were two wives, a maid, and a servant.
When Baili Jinxiu came in, they were lying on the ground motionlessly as they stared blankly.
"Those who are still alive, take a breather." Baili Jinxiu said as he looked at them.
After hearing Baili Jinxiu's voice, the four people who were lying on the ground suddenly woke up.
They all opened their eyes and looked towards Baili Jinxiu's direction. When they saw that the one who had arrived was Baili Jinxiu, one of the servant immediately knelt down.
"Second Miss, save me! Save me!" Baili Jinxiu looked at the unfamiliar face, and thought about it in his mind. He realized that he really had no impression of this person.
When the others saw that Baili Jinxiu's face had also changed, Baili Jinxiu did not want to waste any more words, and directly asked: "Are you guys on duty that night?"
"No, not a servant. This servant was only passing by the garden that night to retrieve something for the Second Miss. This servant truly doesn't know anything. Second Miss, please save this servant. "
The maidservant looked better than the others, as she still had the strength to beg for mercy. The remaining three trembled as they looked at Baili Jinxiu, not saying a word.
Seeing that the remaining people didn't seem to want to cooperate, Baili Jinxiu sneered and said: "It would be best if you all just honestly say it, you should all know that Concubine Wang is buying you all out.
And now that Concubine Wang has been locked up by my father in the courtyard, she won't care about all of you anymore. If you want a way out, then be honest. Otherwise, have you had enough of the taste of hunger? "
"Second Miss, I will speak, I will speak."
"Me too."
The remaining people were panicking, but they had been starving for so many days, so they knew that the Concubine Wang was going to take care of them.
Now that he heard that the Concubine Wang had lost her power, her ability to push herself up the wall had come out again.
"This servant said it before, this servant wasn't looking at the yard at that time, but was slacking off. However, when they were in the garden, they really didn't hear anyone move about.
He hadn't thought that this servant would only doze off and hear someone call out that the Second Young Master had fallen into the water. "Servant is at the back door, the things in this yard are not under servant's control."
One of the two women immediately started to cry in grievance.
The backyard was also separated from the garden by a path and was indeed managed by the people who did not see the back door. It must have been because her father and Concubine Wang vented their hatred and sold them off.
Baili Jinxiu nodded and looked at the remaining attendant. That servant shook his head and said: "Miss, I really don't know."
"What do you know?" Seeing the servant's appearance, Baili Jinxiu immediately guessed that the servant definitely knew something.
The servant wailed out loud and started kowtowing towards Baili Jinxiu unceasingly, without caring about anything else.
"Second Miss, if this servant were to say it out loud, can you give this little one a chance to live? Even if I sold it, I wouldn't want to starve to death. "
Baili Jinxiu nodded, "As long as you say what this Miss wants to hear. Just explain exactly what you were doing that night. "
Hearing what Baili Jinxiu said, the servant's eyes lit up.
Because the people of the Concubine Wang had always threatened them, if they did not say it out, they would starve to death.
However, selling them to a coal mine was a dead end. They only had to live for a few more days.
The manservant knelt on the ground and kowtowed, wanting to speak but choked on his own saliva.
After a while, he stuttered, "I wasn't on duty that night. I just heard a few sounds when I passed by the garden."
"Miss, he is lying. In front of Prime Minister, he clearly said that he did not go to the garden." When the servant girl saw that the servant had found a way out, she immediately retorted.
The servant's body trembled as he shouted, "Second Miss, what I said is the truth. I'm someone from the Eldest Young Master's courtyard. "
"You're someone from my brother's courtyard?" Baili Jinxiu was slightly surprised, but after looking at it for a moment, he shook his head. "If you were someone inside my brother's courtyard, how could I not recognize you?"
"Really, I swept the floor in Eldest Young Master's courtyard. That's why Second Miss didn't know me. When this servant was brought to the garden by the butler, I saw that quite a few people had already been killed.
The servant did not dare to say that he was in the young master's courtyard because he was worried that Concubine Wang would not let him go. It was just that the guards had left the garden when they saw the servant and wanted to look for San'er.
San-er was the man who had been watching the east side of the garden that night, only he had been beaten to death. I was worried about the Concubine Wang and was afraid of death, so I said that I would return halfway through and didn't hear anything. "
Hearing this explanation, Baili Jinxiu finally understood why this servant didn't dare to admit that he was his big brother in the courtyard in front of his father.
All the servants in the Prime Minister Palace knew that the direct descendants of his wife were not on good terms with Concubine Wang's mother and son.
Conflicts had already broken out again and again. These people were the fence-sitters, so they naturally knew what they had to do to survive.
Baili Jinxiu nodded and asked: "Then what did you hear?"
"I heard a sound, it was just a plop. I was afraid of the dark, but I suddenly turned around and ran back after hearing the sound. "Therefore, I only heard the sound, but didn't dare to go to the pond to take a look."
The servant cried as he spoke. When Baili Jinxiu heard this, he frowned and asked: "Just the sound of falling into the water? Are there any other footsteps or voices? "
"No, it's quiet. "There was no sound at all, which was why the sound of the water splashing scared the servant so much." The manservant explained.
Baili Jinxiu frowned, no one was bringing Baili Mo along, had Baili Mo gone crazy and jumped into the pond himself?
"Is there any sound of struggling water?" Feng Wuhen, who was behind Baili Jinxiu, suddenly asked.
Right, if you struggle, you will fall into the water.
If he did not struggle, then it meant that Baili Mo had been knocked out and thrown down.
Only people without consciousness would not struggle and drown in water.
"No, it was only the sound of falling into the water." The manservant said.
Baili Jinxiu clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally found the first proof!
