"The second prince laughed at me. This matter is purely an oolong. The third son-in-law will teach you a lesson in the future. Come, let me toast you again!"
Having said that, the emperor still gave Mr. Li a wink, and then the bowl of noodles was taken away, and the court lady was also waved away.
It's just that waving back is not waving back. People who left the hall were taken down by the guards, and the bowl of noodles was naturally put away and strictly guarded...
Shen Zhanchang, his wife and the concubine praying for blessings seemed to be bound and loosened by something in their hearts, and they couldn't help complaining about that silly child...
Another bowl of noodles was quickly brought up by the people around the queen mother, and the hall resumed its bustle, but the bustle also became strange.The Empress Dowager's mood plummeted after what happened just now, she only took two sips of Longevity Noodles, sat upright on her seat, and didn't speak any more.
While the banquet atmosphere was restored in the Yonghe Hall, Chu Xunya took the unhappy Shen Mingfeng out of the hall early, passed the detailed information to Director Li, and then led Shen Mingfeng to the side hall to wait.Director Li passed on the information, and got the emperor's order to personally take people to the place where the corpse was found.
Sure enough, there was a corpse of a court lady.
☆、Chapter 84 Interrogation
Here, no matter whether the bowl of longevity noodles is poisonous or not, the facts of the case are clear at a glance, and it is very difficult for the suspect to survive.Mr. Li, who was in charge of the old man's police, knew that it was not appropriate to say anything about it, so he ordered the corpse to be quickly collected, and he went back to the Hall of Yonghe to report it.
The banquet was not over yet, and the emperor, empress, and empress still had to sit in charge, and almost no one in the palace came out.It's still early to try the case, the emperor can't go away, he can send a representative, and ask Mr. Li to pass the news to the prince privately, and order him to investigate, and it is a secret investigation.
When the prince got the words, he was extremely astonished in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, got up and left the hall.
The whole story of the case, if the murderer is willing to recruit, it would be great.Just now the guards had already taken the man down, and temporarily escorted him to the side hall, the prince didn't stop on his feet, and went straight over.At this moment, the prisoner was excluded in the side hall, several guards, Chu Xunya and Shen Mingfeng who were waiting at the guest seats, and the maidservants behind them were all witnesses.
Chu Xunya's face was expressionless, and her phoenix eyes looked up and down at the prisoner who was being held by the backhand and knelt down, wondering what she was thinking.Shen Mingfeng, who was sitting in the side chair, was full of hatred and anger, and his usual relaxed expression was no longer there. He looked at the prisoner angrily, couldn't help getting up and walked over, stopped halfway, and thought he was walking towards the prisoner without any trace. Then he moved away, pointed at her, and yelled at her,
"You villain! You are the real villain! You actually killed that court lady! You still want to kill the royal grandma! They are all fine, why do you do this? Do you know how many people will be sad to kill them?" ?Do you know how sad the parents of that court lady will be? You, you...you! You are such a bad person! You will get retribution!"
The son-in-law was filled with anger, scolding every word and sentence back and forth, but he couldn't think of other words to use.However, the words she scolded back and forth had already deeply touched the other people in the hall.
Although the third son-in-law is stupid, a kind and pure heart is extremely rare.
At the gate of the hall, when the prince stepped into the gate, these words fell into his ears.When Chu Xunya saw her, she stood up, pulled Shen Mingfeng, went up to meet her, saluted,
"Greetings to the prince brother."
"En." The prince walked into the hall, stopped, put his hands behind his back, and stood in front of Chu Xunya, Shen Mingfeng and the others. His tall and muscular figure immediately made them look petite, and the thick black mustache on his lips trembled. Trembling, Road,
"Ya'er, tell the story of the case first, and the king will try the prisoner later."
As soon as the crown prince said it, he was completely acting like a prince. He didn't have so much time, so he didn't want to talk too much. It would be more time-saving to let his clever sister tell the story.Chu Xunya nodded, but after all, she was also an observer and her knowledge was limited, so she only said a few words, leaving the details to Ye Mengchen.
Of course, among the eyewitnesses, Shen Mingfeng, the son-in-law who had the most right to speak, was the first person who discovered the corpse.It's a pity that the crown prince and princess don't seem to intend to give her a chance, and it's hard for her to intervene even if she stands aside.
Ye Mengchen took two steps forward, saluted respectfully, and then began to talk: "His Royal Highness, at that time, several servants and maidservants accompanied the son-in-law to clean the room. They met this suspect on the way and didn't care. When they arrived at the clean room, The son-in-law and Qin'er went in, and the maidservant and Qiangwei were waiting outside the door. After a short while, there were screams. The servant girl and the servant girl rushed in immediately. They looked at the lamp, and there was a dead woman lying on the back of the wooden board in the grocery store... The maidservant Boldly guess, it must be the court lady Lu Yu did it..."
Ye Mengchen was neither humble nor overbearing, and his language was appropriate. He couldn't find any faults. He described the incident in detail, and cleverly avoided the process of analyzing the case by himself, so as not to leave too deep an impression on others.
Everyone knows what happened next, the prince listened intently, nodded, walked slowly around to the prisoner, scanned it, and said sharply,
"You have heard what I said just now. Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, this king asks you, should you recruit?"
Although the prisoner is a woman, she is quite calm. At this juncture, her expression is only a little flustered, but she still refuses to admit it.
"His Royal Highness, the servants are not recruited, and the servants are not murderers! The witnesses and physical evidence you mentioned...the witnesses, they only saw the corpse, so they concluded that the servants were the murderers? This is just a one-sided statement, the servants are not convinced! The bowl of noodles has been tested several times, and it is clearly non-toxic, how can it be used as physical evidence? The slaves are innocent!"
Those present who were not smart enough almost made her bluff.However, smart people, smart enough, are not so easy to fool.Chu Xunya sneered, but said nothing.Shen Mingfeng, the most innocent person, almost believed it.
His Royal Highness the crown prince, as the crown prince, is not someone who eats food, so he raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully,
"You still want to deny it? Well, let's say that they can't prove it, and the bowl of noodles can't prove it. Then tell me, what happened to your waist card? The waist card on the corpse is gone. , do you want my king to send someone to find the head of internal affairs to confirm your appearance and identity, is it suitable?"
The prisoner obviously choked and wanted to die: "No! The servant is real, and that corpse has nothing to do with the servant! Your Royal Highness, think about it, there is no problem on that side, and the servant does not have a murder weapon on him, and he will not Martial arts, completely incapable of harming the Empress Dowager, why did the servants want to kill and pretend for no reason? This...it doesn't make sense, doesn't it? And...the slaves have no power to bind chickens, how can they kill another Where are people?"
Ha ha! This denial is still well-founded, and the person who said it so clearly was stunned.However, in front of smart people, even if she said that she broke the sky, she couldn't distort the facts in the slightest.
Who is the prince, and who is Chu Xunya? After hearing this passage, they all shook their heads frequently.
"That's enough, don't argue anymore, come--"
"Wait a minute, Brother Prince, Rong Ya'er will test the bowl of noodles again to see if it is really non-toxic. If there is, then there is no need to bother, and immediately convince this person!"
Chu Xunya's words still carry a lot of weight with the prince, so he didn't worry too much, and agreed,
"Okay, then there is Laurel. Come here, bring in the noodles."
After a while, a little eunuch came in with a tray, and the contents on it were intact, plus a brand new silver needle.
The tray was placed on the tea table, Chu Xunya didn't dawdle, and moved over in lotus steps, followed by Shen Mingfeng curiously behind her, almost clinging to her back, stretching her neck to watch carefully.
Chu Xunya first picked up the small bowl, sniffed and scrutinized it, put it down, and went to look at the big bowl of noodles, took a second look, then looked back, grabbed the pair of chopsticks next to it, and observed carefully.Just as Chu Xunya was checking the chopsticks, the prisoner's eyes flashed the biggest panic so far...
In the entire side hall, no one made a sound. His Highness the Crown Prince had great confidence in his sister. He stood quietly where he was, watching her every move. He saw her put down her chopsticks, pick up a cup on the table, and pour a glass of water. Grabbed the pair of chopsticks again, stretched them in, took them out...
