Shuang Daqin Comparison, No Comparison, No Harm

Zhao Ze's last few words were clearly threatening, and Xiao Taohua knew that she was going to spit it all out today.

Xiao Taohua has no choice now, and Zhao Ze didn't give her any chance to choose.

If she chooses Zhao Ze, maybe Zhao Ze will really fulfill the promise just now and keep her family safe.

But if he chooses Concubine Hu, Zhao Ze will probably kill her and Jin Lian immediately.

In addition, Xiao Taohua knew in her heart that if she had no value for Hu Ji, Hu Ji would definitely not swear to protect her family.

What about his father and his brother?

Thinking of it this way, Xiao Taohua could only "603" feel guilty in her heart, and then - answer the question Zhao Ze asked.

She said: "It was indeed Concubine Hu Guifei who killed Lin Wanwan. At that time, Concubine Hu Guifei heard what Concubine Hu was talking about, so Concubine Hu killed her to silence her."

After talking big, Lin Jiutian followed the procedure and asked, "What secret did Lin Wanwan hear about Concubine Hu Gui? How did you know that it was her who murdered and silenced her?"

Xiao Taohua lowered her head, "Because I was right there at the time, the eunuch next to Concubine Hu Guifei was the one who did it. He forced Lin Wanwan to feed Wudu powder, and finally brought a few eunuchs to throw him away. The upper reaches of the river closest to the imperial capital of Xianyang."

Lin Jiutian recorded what Xiao Taohua said, and compared it with the wounds found on Lin Wanwan's body before, and the conclusions made by Wu as an autopsy, all of them matched.

Lin Wanwan was indeed poisoned to death, and the poison was Wudusan. According to predictions, the place where the body was dumped was the upper reaches of the river closest to Xianyang Fangcheng.

Explaining that Xiao Taohua didn't lie, God told him to continue.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Xiao Taohua knows that even if she conceals it, she will already be sorry to Concubine Hu Gui, so she simply tells the whole story.

"Hu Guifei originally thought that this matter would float away with the corpse, because Lin Wanwan really has no sense of presence in the palace, and even the emperor can't remember her."

"It's just that I didn't expect the body to be salvaged. The imperial concubine panicked at that time, and sent someone to Lin Wanwan's room to look for Yuchai, but that person was caught unexpectedly.

"Hu Guifei was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she thought of the tunnel that Zhao Haitao, the former Minister of Dali Temple, told him before. "So she sent someone to take Qu Hua away through the tunnel."

Lin Jiutian asked: "How did Concubine Hu Gui know about that tunnel? Why did Zhao Haitao contact her and tell her such important information, and where did Concubine Hu Guifei take Bai Hua away?"

"After Wu Guifei took Bai Hua away, she took him directly outside the city, and I don't know exactly where.

"The reason why Concubine Hu Gui has contact with Zhao Haitao, the former Great Council Office, is that Concubine Hu Guifei also participated in the circulation of counterfeit money once before."

Xiao Taohua's voice became weaker and weaker as she spoke.

"Now there is only one last question left." Lin Jiutian wrote in his hand, looking up at Xiao Taohua, "Is Hu Ji the one who assassinated the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Li Si?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Taohua hesitated.

If we talk about the crimes that Hu Ji committed before, at most they were greedy for money and murdered concubines.

But if she admitted that Hu Ji assassinated the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Li Si, then this matter would be serious.

Assassinating the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Li Sina is an unforgivable capital crime.

Seeing that Xiao Taohua had stopped talking, Zhao Ze suddenly interjected, "You just said that Lin Wanwan heard the secret of Concubine Hu's conversation with others. Could this secret be about the assassination of the Queen Mother and Ms. Prime Minister?"

Zhao Ze stared at Xiao Taohua with burning eyes, and said in an extremely cold voice, "I advise you to answer whatever I ask, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can really save your entire family...

"Just what you said just now, Orchid will kill you, now I am the only one who can protect you and your family."

Hearing this, Xiao Taohua's drooping eyes flashed with sadness, "I said, the eldest son of the emperor's guess is correct, Lin Wanwan was killed at that time, it was because he heard about the assassination of Prime Minister Li Si and the Queen Mother that he assassinated the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." Prime Minister Li Si's is also Hu Guifei."

"At that time, in order to avoid being suspected by others, Concubine Hu Gui found a barbarian who could poison people and use silver needles to kill people without anyone noticing."

"Concubine Hu Gui originally thought that this matter was seamless, but she didn't expect to be discovered by you, the eldest son of the emperor."

Having said all this, Orchid's crime has basically been determined.

In the end, Lin Jiutian asked Xiao Taohua to sign the pledge, and finally handed over the charge of the pledge from Dali Temple to Ying Zheng.

Yingzheng was studying hard at the end of the day, trying to review the memorials submitted by all the officials on 1.1 today.

After receiving the indictment, he had no intention of reviewing it.

Looking at the eunuch who was following him, he said angrily, "Go and call Concubine Hu Gui."

Hu Ji was feeling uneasy, Xiao Taohua had disappeared and hadn't returned all day and night.

It's fine if it's someone else Hu Ji, but Xiao Taohua has been with her for so many years and knows everything about her.

Today Hu Ji sent people to inquire, and found that Xiao Taohua's mother and sister were missing, which made her even more flustered. .
