Chapter 1529 Lord Lu and Scholar Meng are amazing
"No?" Meng Yunzheng chuckled. "Then why did you eat a midnight snack at 7:45 PM yesterday? Did you suddenly get hungry and crave something?"
Under his calm and indifferent expression, Chen Xiucai gradually calmed down. He swallowed and thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps it's because I didn't eat much at dinner."
Why don't you eat much?
"Because, because the dishes Aunt Jiang cooked last night were too bland." Aunt Jiang is the old woman who helps cook for the Chen family.
Before Meng Yunzheng could finish his question, he asked, "Since that aunt has worked for your family for many years, she should know very well what your father likes to eat. Why would the dishes she cooks suddenly not suit your father's taste?"
"I...I don't know."
Meng Yunzheng looked up at Lord Xie, who blinked, suddenly realized what was happening, and immediately said to the constable, "Go, summon that old woman Jiang here."
"Yes, sir."
The constables left quickly, and the remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment. The onlookers stared at Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng in surprise and began to whisper among themselves.
"I don't know why, but when I heard Lu Xiangjun and Meng Xiucai asking one question after another, I felt that they were particularly impressive."
"Isn't that amazing? I think the truth is about to be revealed."
"Could there be a third suspect soon?"
"It's possible. Aunt Jiang also had the opportunity to poison him."
The discussion outside was buzzing, but the lobby was eerily quiet.
Shu Yu looked at the few people still kneeling on the ground. Dong Mei's eyes were firm, as if she really believed in her young lady.
Kong Zhiyou was no longer looking down with resentment and despair as before. Now, she straightened her back slightly, raised her head slightly, and looked at Shu Yu with a complicated expression.
Qiu Ju, on the other hand, lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and a drop of sweat fell to the ground from her forehead.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes slightly. Tsk, she was probably the murderer.
But there was one thing she couldn't understand. According to what they had just said, both Chen Xiucai and Chen Ji were on Qiuju's side, protecting him. Why would he kill one of his own backers? Surely it wasn't just to frame Kong Zhiyou?
That's a bit strange.
As she pondered this, the constables over there had already brought Granny Jiang over.
The latter seemed to have never seen such a scene before. When her employer died, she only sighed a few times. She never expected that this matter would involve her, and she panicked immediately.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately knelt down and shouted that he was wronged, "Your Honor, I am innocent! It has nothing to do with me. I really don't know how Master Chen died. I don't know anything."
Lord Xie slammed his gavel down, "Silence! No noise is permitted in the courtroom!"
Granny Jiang abruptly shut her mouth, extremely nervous.
Lord Xie then spoke, "Granny Jiang, I have a few questions to ask you. Just answer honestly. You haven't done anything wrong, so I naturally won't wrong you."
"Yes, yes, I will answer honestly."
Lord Xie then asked, "I ask you, did you cook the meal at the Chen family's house last night? You've worked for the Chen family for so many years, you should know Master Chen's preferences, so why did the meal you made last night make him lose his appetite?"
Granny Jiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Because, because Aunt Qiu was in the kitchen when I was cooking yesterday."
