After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt
Chapter 58 Interrogation
Mrs. Han said seriously, "In order to seek justice in this matter, I will listen to Ning Yatou and let her make the decision."
Qian's mother was puzzled, but Mrs. Han shook her head slightly.
Mrs. Han calculated clearly that if Chen Youning ruled that she was innocent and there was no evidence that was not convincing enough, Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu would not be able to do so even if they wanted to be angry with Duke Dingguo. The matter would be cleared up.
Han Youning did not refuse and calmly accepted the job.
The ladies present could not help but sigh secretly.
After all, she had too little experience, so when she took this job, she took the hot potato into her own hands.
Han Youning picked up the basket on the ground and looked at it. The chrysanthemums inside were beautiful in shape, with tender petals and a delicate fragrance. They were indeed delicious.
She suppressed the urge to pick one up and eat one, put down the basket stiffly, and walked among the kneeling servants.
She walked very slowly, pausing in front of everyone so that no one could understand what she was doing.
Finally, she walked up to the three witnesses and stood still, "Have you ever touched these chrysanthemums?"
The three of them shook their heads and said in unison, "No!"
Han Youning asked again, "Have you touched the two pots of chrysanthemums in the flower hall?"
The three of them answered again, "No!"
Han Youning didn't ask any more questions, and asked someone to open a side room. She presided over the interrogation, while Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu listened. All the maids and women serving in the flower hall and garden went into the side room one by one to be questioned.
Madam Lu held a whip and kept an eye out dutifully, preventing anyone from getting a chance to make confessions.
Han Youning couldn't help laughing when he saw her prepared look. Actually, there was no need, it didn't matter if they confessed together.
The maids and ladies came in one after another.
Han Youning placed a one-hundred-tael banknote on the table in front of him. He only asked two questions, "Did you cut it? Did you see who cut it?"
Without exception, the answer was negative.
Han Youning, on the other hand, was neither arrogant nor impetuous and readily let them out before asking the next question.
Although Princess Chengjun had a good impression of Han Youning, she couldn't help but shake her head when she saw that her soft interrogation had no deterrent effect.
"Girl of the Chen family, if you keep asking like this, you won't get any results. Although one hundred taels is a lot, compared to the lives of the family, I'm afraid no one would dare to take this money."
Han Youning smiled and said, "Princess, please wait patiently. There will always be someone who can tell the truth."
Mrs. Liu kept her face dark and didn't bother to argue with her. It would be strange to find out who it was like this.
She had already made a plan in her mind to report the case to the government for investigation. There was always someone who couldn't bear the severe punishment.
The last person to enter the wing was one of the witnesses, a maid in Tsing Yi named Song Zhi.
Han Youning asked the same question again, and the answer was still negative.
Han Youning did not let her out, but said, "It seems that Miss Qingzhi does not intend to plead guilty."
There was a moment of panic on Songzhi's face. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Why did my cousin say this?"
Han Youning took a leisurely sip of tea and said softly, "Of course someone has accused you. With a reward of one hundred taels of silver, there are always people who can't resist the temptation. Miss Songzhi, tell me how I offended you, let me
Did you frame me?"
Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu, who were already drowsy, raised their heads in surprise. Did they miss something?
Why didn't they hear anyone testify?
Songzhi lay on the ground and said, "My dear lady, I am aware that I dare not frame you. But I don't know who made up such words. I want to confront her!"
Han Youning said, "Since I want to interrogate one by one like this, it is just to make people tell the truth without any scruples. Telling you now would not be a breach of trust. After all, Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu have heard it, and I don't need to talk to you anymore."
What can others prove?"
Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu were stunned when they were mentioned as having "heard". They really didn't hear anything!
Princess Chengjun roughly guessed that Han Youning wanted to trick Songzhi into confessing, so she said with a serious face, "Yes, you told the truth now. I understand your difficulties and can be lenient. If you refuse to confess, then
It can only be handed over to the government for interrogation."
Han Youning glanced at Princess Chengjun approvingly.
Princess Chengjun smiled happily at her, "Am I very clever?"
She suddenly remembered their identity, immediately stopped smiling, and resumed her arrogant attitude of looking at people through her nostrils.
Songzhi's eyes flickered when she heard "official". But after all, she had been trained by the old lady for many years and was promoted to the second-class maid. Her temperament was stronger than that of ordinary maids.
She gritted her teeth and said, "This slave is really unjust. I'm afraid someone is greedy for money and would do something like that to frame someone."
Han Youning stood up and walked slowly to her, "Is Miss Songzhi left-handed?"
Matsuzhi was stunned. Although it was no secret that she was left-handed, the cousin had just arrived here. If no one had told her this specifically, they would not have known whether one of her maids was left-handed. It seemed that someone had really tipped her off.
She was panicking in her heart, but she couldn't deny such an obvious thing. She replied, "Cousin, my slave is left-handed."
Han Youning chuckled, "You are smart and didn't lie on this matter. In fact, it's useless for you to lie."
She stretched out her hand to take Song Zhi's hand, spread her palm, pointed to the thin callus of her left hand and said, "You are used to doing things with your left hand, so your left hand is rougher than your right hand. You can't fake it. Just do things like others.
There will always be some traces left, that’s one thing.”
Songzhi was surprised by Han Youning's thoughtfulness and said calmly, "What does my cousin's words have to do with chrysanthemums?"
Han Youning asked Ling'er to move the two pots of flowers in. She pointed to the cuts on the flower branches and said, "When you hold the scissors in your left hand and the scissors in your right hand, the cuts made are different in terms of the direction of force and the direction of tilt. These cuts are very different.
It was obviously cut by a left-handed person."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu quickly walked over and carefully observed the incisions of the two pots of chrysanthemums. Sure enough, they were cut from the left side.
She slapped Songzhi, "Bitch, you still deny it!"
Songzhi fell to the ground, covering his face and quibbling, "Maybe Yu Niang cut it with her left hand on purpose to confuse the public?"
Han Youning didn't waste any time talking to her, and told Ling'er to go out and bring in a pot of chrysanthemums. He handed a pair of scissors to Song Zhi and said, "Use your right hand to finish cutting this pot of chrysanthemums."
Matsuzhi held the scissors awkwardly in her right hand. Even though she concentrated all her strength on her right hand, she still could not control the scissors flexibly, let alone cut the tough chrysanthemum branches.
She was so busy that she was sweating profusely, and it took her a long time to cut all eight chrysanthemums.
The cuts on these chrysanthemum branches are blunt and messy, the veins on the bark are uneven, and some branches are almost torn off. They are not as neat and tidy as the two pots of chrysanthemum branches.
Han Youning gave the chrysanthemums to Princess Chengjun and Mrs. Liu.
When the two of them took a look, everything became clear.
