"I gave the coachman money because he wanted to rent a house for his wife at home. It was completely out of kindness of my heart."

"As for the golden leaves given to the commander who defends the city, it's because many brothers' shoes are torn. I am the Northern Eagle Flying General canonized by the Holy Spirit, and I am also a soldier. I just got some rewards. I can't eat enough by myself, regardless of my brothers.

There are no shoes to wear...the gold leaves are used to buy shoes for the brothers, is there a problem?"

Qin Jinyang asked coldly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

"Hahaha... Hahaha... Ridiculous, simply ridiculous... Are you kind-hearted? Do you have the world in mind? I think you are shameless!"

Wu Zhiqian sneered twice and asked sarcastically: "criminal Qin Jinyang, do you believe what you say? Do you think I will believe it?"

Lu Zhongqing frowned behind the eucalyptus, and he quietly observed the prince's expression.

well……

The prince's expression was also ugly.

This eucalyptus... is difficult to judge.

Although Wu Zhiqian produced evidence, the evidence was not very solid and could not completely prove Qin Jinyang's guilt.

But after all, it is evidence, and Qin Jinyang cannot prove his innocence.

This minister is too aggrieved and is suffering from both sides.

"What I'm telling you is the truth... There is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the hall who knows everything, and there is the Minister who can tell right from wrong. You are a little servant, does it matter whether you believe it or not?"

"If I reward the coachman with a few taels of silver, it can prove that I harbor criminals. Then I will also give you a few taels of silver. Are you also my accomplice?"

Qin Jinyang retorted with disdain.

The lobby was silent.

Shi Yingnan wanted to scold Wu Zhiqian, but Wan Duoyan stopped him.

This guy is really dumbfounded...

The Prince of the East Palace is sitting here, but you are shouting and yelling. How unbecoming is this? You are young, why do you need to leave a bad impression on others?

Your master has worked hard to train you into a talented person, but you have offended all the noble people in one go. What is that?

As for Qin Jinyang, these evidences clearly cannot convict him.

The fourth child also wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the third child and the seniors from the Ministry of War.

Their thoughts are the same as Wan Dueye's.

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince present, the fourth child should be calmer. After all, he will have to hang out in the court in the future.

Although others also wanted to stand up for Qin Jinyang, they had a sense of restraint in their hearts.

As long as Qin Jinyang is not convicted, there is still a chance.

…

"Haha... He is so sharp-tongued, he is indeed a cunning thing."

"I have known for a long time that you would deny it. Do you think I only have this evidence? You are naive... Come here and bring up the evidence."

Wu Zhiqian sneered and flicked his sleeves again.

After the words fell, everyone in the audience turned their heads and looked eagerly outside the hall. Even the prince and Prince Gao had curious faces.

Soon, the soldiers from the Criminal Department trotted to the lobby carrying wooden trays.

On the wooden plate is a piece of clothing.

"Old man...are you familiar with this dress?"

Wu Zhiqian walked to the evidence, picked up the clothes, carried them to the old coachman, and asked word by word in a very slow tone.

"Remember...I remember..."

The old man was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He kowtowed and shouted.

"explain……"

Wu Zhiqian said.

"They are the clothes of the wanted criminal Mu Zhihe."

"That day, Northern Eagle Flying General and the wanted criminal bribed the city guard and urged me to leave the city quickly... After leaving the city, I galloped on my horse. The wanted criminal in the carriage also changed his outfit. And the old clothes he replaced

, and threw it into the river outside the city. After returning to the city, I felt sorry for the good material of the clothes, so I went out of the city again and quietly salvaged the clothes."

The old coachman stammered, and after several pauses, he finally spoke a complete sentence.

"This dress belongs to the fugitive Mu Zhihe... The Evidence Department of the Ministry of Punishment has carefully investigated and found that the fabric of this dress is a gift from the Holy One. Only the palace can weave it... Chief Wu Heqian has personally checked the records of His Majesty's rewards.

, during that time, only Mushidi received a reward."

Wu Zhiqian shook his clothes.

The old coachman shivered and wished he could burrow his head deep into the floor.

When Wu Heqian heard his elder brother calling his name, he quickly raised his head.

So touching.

The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother, and he always thinks about brotherhood in his heart. Although he has caused trouble to the eldest brother, when he has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, the eldest brother still thinks about himself.

…

Whoosh!

Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Jinyang again, eagerly awaiting Qin Jinyang's explanation.

"A piece of clothing picked up from the river can prove that I harbored criminals? Don't you think it's far-fetched?"

"Besides, what can a piece of clothing prove?"

Qin Jinyang sneered.

By the way, the evidence produced by the Wu family is not vicious at all... it is far from impeccable.

If the prince sided with the Wu family, these evidences might get him killed.

But the evidence in Taimo Lake is that once the prince wants to help him, the Wu family will definitely lose.

"Hahaha, I knew you were going to deny it... One piece of evidence may not prove that you committed a crime, but if several pieces of evidence are added together, why are you still making excuses? Are all the coincidences in the world accounted for by you alone?

?”

"That's alright...you have a tough talk, you can make nonsense, but I, Wu Zhiqian, can't...you want evidence, right? Then I will give you evidence...someone..."

Wu Zhiqian suddenly shouted again.

Everyone in the audience frowned.

Is there any evidence?

He can actually produce evidence?

Some people have begun to have doubts in their hearts... Yes, if one piece of evidence is an accident, then if several pieces of evidence are added together, it would be too much of a coincidence.

…

Soon, another soldier from the Criminal Department trotted over.

This time, the soldier held a short sword in his wooden tray.

The scabbard is golden and inlaid with two black gemstones. It looks like a precious sword at first glance.

Qin Jinyang frowned when he saw the sword.

Black Lan Knife!

This was Xu Yuancheng's sword when he was young. As Xu Yuancheng became stronger and stronger, this sword was not strong enough and was replaced.

But Xu Yuancheng did not throw it away, but paid tribute to it in the ancestral hall.

Xu Yuancheng's first adventure was to use the Heilan knife to open the secret palace.

Xu Yuancheng founded Helan Villa, and Hei Lan Dao accompanied him throughout the process.

In the end, the Black Lan Sword became the owner's token of Helan Villa. Xu Yuancheng drew cakes for the inner disciples more than once. Whoever gets the Black Lan Sword in the future will be the future young master of the village.

After Xu Yuancheng's death, the Black Lan Sword naturally fell into Qin Jinyang's hands.

When leaving Yundong Province, Qin Jinyang originally planned to leave the knife at the villa, but Wu Shengshi insisted on letting Qin Jinyang hold it.

First of all, Qin Jinyang is the owner of Helan Villa. Although Qin Jinyang does not deserve it, the title belongs to him.

Secondly, although the Black Lan Sword is somewhat insufficient in Xu Yuancheng's hands, Qin Jinyang's third-grade sword is enough for him to use the fourth-grade Dzogchen sword, and it is also a rare weapon.

This is weird.

Qin Jinyang squinted his eyes.

As soon as he moved into Beiying Mansion, he hung the Black Lan Knife in his bedroom.

In a sensitive place like the imperial capital, hanging knives and running around can easily cause misunderstandings among the imperial guards.

…

"This weapon is your Qin Jinyang's sword, right?"

"The Punishment Department traced Mu Zhihe to a hiding place, but unfortunately he had already escaped... Although he was not caught, the Punishment Department found the weapon... How do you explain this time?"

"You wouldn't say that the Criminal Department stole your knife and then put the blame on you, right?"

"Or maybe the criminal Mu Zhihe made a trip to Beiying Mansion on his way to escape, specifically to steal your knife."

Wu Zhiqian asked slowly.

His expression was extremely calm. After all, he had been interrogating for a lifetime and could get to the bottom of almost every case. He was considered Detective Wu.

"By the way, Cui Sixan, the slave in your house, is a real strong man. It should be impossible for criminals to steal your weapons without telling him, right?"

"No one in our criminal department can steal your knife under Cui Sixan's eyes."
