"Seventh Princess, what do you mean? Everyone has resentment. If you kill someone because of resentment, it is a crime." Empress Xiaode was so stimulated by her that her face looked dull. It was hard to get angry in front of so many people. She was cold.

Ru Tong is so annoying, she actually said in front of everyone that she is not favored!

"Yes, the Queen also knows that everyone will have resentment, but because of this resentment, I went to kill my husband and kill the king. Do you think my husband would be so stupid? If he had been resentful for a long time, he would not choose the only one.

He attacked when he was alone with the emperor, you might as well ask these people, could they be so stupid?"

Leng Rutong said calmly.

"Of course not..." someone from the crowd of common people called out.

"The guards around the emperor are highly skilled in martial arts. If the seventh prince wanted to attack him, he could only wait until he was alone with the emperor. Jixiang Ruyi was not around that day, so he would not let go of this opportunity. How could a person be jealous of hatred?

It is unreasonable to manage." Naturally, these words were not spoken by Empress Xiaode, but by Taifu Ning who was standing by.

"Taifu Ning, you have to talk about evidence. You are not my husband, how do you know what he thinks? I don't want to say anything else now. I just need to overturn the indirect evidence that can convict my husband, because you don't have the most direct evidence.

The evidence proves that my husband is the murderer. Mr. Duan, can this be used to clear my husband's guilt?"

Leng Rutong was too lazy to quarrel with Taifu Ning. She didn't come here today to compete with anyone else's quarrel.

"If the Seventh Princess can overturn these, she can naturally exonerate the Seventh Prince." Duan Zhengchong gave her a definite answer, and his words made everyone present have different expressions. Duan Zhengchong was always cautious in handling cases, but he actually gave her the answer.

The Seventh Princess answered so affirmatively.

Leng Rutong smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, first of all, just because my father and my husband are the only ones in the side hall, we decided that he was the murderer. For this, Taifu Ning and Su Youxiang took the responsibility to prove that this is absurd.

.Second, my husband resented my father, so he might have committed regicide. Queen Xiaode also defended my husband. My husband was not the only one who had resentment against my father.

Third, the position my husband is standing is exactly where he assassinated my father, please master, please bring up the dagger used to commit the crime."

The master didn't dare to be negligent, so he handed the sandalwood box to her like crazy. Leng Rutong wrapped the dagger with woven cotton, took it out, and placed it in front of everyone: "This dagger is short, delicate, and sharp.

It's very smooth, and you can see that the owner takes good care of it.

Well, it is very conspicuous and cannot be used by ordinary people. My husband has never had this kind of dagger. He always has a Shenwei made by a sword master on his waist. He will definitely use his own weapon to kill people.

, it is absolutely impossible to take someone else’s dagger.”

"Seventh Imperial Concubine, the seventh brother naturally doesn't use his own weapons to kill people. Isn't this intentional to let others catch him?" Ye Huaihe said coolly from the side.

"Wrong, my husband must have used his Divine Cry and his Qingfeng sword to kill people. When he wanted to kill Ning Wanwan in front of Fengyi Palace that day, he also used his own Divine Cry. Empress Xiaode knew this

." Leng Rutong turned to Queen Xiaode.

Empress Xiaode nodded: "I did see the Seventh Prince using his Divine Weeping Dagger that day, but that doesn't mean he would definitely use the Divine Weeping Dagger to kill the emperor. Isn't there a certain connection?"

Leng Rutong knew they would say this. She held the dagger and looked at it carefully, raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Since you don't believe it, then I will prove it to you. Xiaobi brought the flour.

"

Xiao Bi obediently handed over the pure white flour in a basin. Duan Zhengchong saw her holding a dagger and was about to attack, so he quickly stopped her: "Seventh Princess, what are you trying to do? The dagger is a piece of evidence and cannot be destroyed."

Leng Rutong glared at him: "Since it is evidence, it naturally has to play its role as evidence. I can let the dagger speak for itself. The person who uses it is not my husband." Leng Rutong grabbed a handful of flour and gently

The ground was blown towards the short and powerful handle of the dagger, and some deep and shallow marks appeared on the thin layer of the handle.

"Master Duan, please come here." Leng Rutong carefully held the dagger in his hand, called Duan Zhengchong, and handed the dagger to his eyes: "Take a closer look at what the mark on it looks like?"

Duan Zhengchong looked at it carefully and showed a surprised expression: "It looks like a handprint."

Leng Rutong nodded: "The marks on it are very neat and not messy, which means that this dagger has only been taken by one person, that is the murderer. Since the murderer has to use a lot of force when committing the murder, the mark on the handle is

The fingerprints are very deep, and you can clearly see the way the person is holding the handle."

Leng Rutong carefully turned the dagger over, then gently blew flour on both sides, then looked at the shape of the fingerprint carefully and frowned, how could this be?

Ye Qianzhi noticed something was wrong with her and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Leng Rutong looked at the handle in disbelief. How could this happen? She raised her head and asked Ye Qianzhi in confusion: "Is this dagger the emperor's?"

Ye Qianzhi shook his head: "I have never seen my father use it."

A group of people asked her strange questions, but Duan Zhengchong asked directly: "What clues did the Seventh Princess see on the handle?"

Leng Rutong took the handle and put it in front of Duan Zhengchong's eyes: "Mr. Duan, look carefully at the fingerprints on it. This is the thumb. The thumb is held facing away from the blade. This is the little finger, where the tiger's mouth is.

here."

Duan Zhengchong had never used this kind of fingerprint to investigate a case and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by the Seventh Princess?"

Leng Rutong turned her head and said to Xiao Bi: "Xiao Bi, give me your dagger."

Shang Bili took out a dagger from her waist that was completely hidden from anyone. When everyone present saw this scene, they were all amazed. The maid next to Leng Rutong was definitely not simple.

Leng Rutong took the dagger and gave a demonstration. She held the handle of the dagger and pointed the tip outwards and said calmly: "When a person stabs someone with a dagger, the little finger must be the farthest end from the blade. But adults, look at it."

In the fingerprint on this, the little finger is closest to the blade, which means that when the murderer held the dagger, the blade was not pointed at anyone else, but himself."

Her words immediately caused an uproar among everyone present: "You mean, the emperor was killed by himself with a dagger." Empress Xiaode couldn't help but raise her voice, feeling that Leng Rutong was talking nonsense.

Duan Zhengchong asked doubtfully: "Could it be the left hand?"

Leng Rutong decided to change Xiao Bi's dagger: "Whether it is the left hand or the right hand, when a person holds something, the end facing the outside is the farthest from the little finger. You can see the fingerprints on this murder weapon,

The little finger is close to the blade

end, that is to say, the blade of the blade was facing inward at that time. If the murderer wanted to kill the emperor, the only possibility was that he stood behind the emperor, went around to his chest and stabbed it in. However, my husband was standing opposite the emperor at that time, so he

It’s absolutely impossible to be the murderer.”

The emperor, who do you like? Ye Qianzhi and Ye Liangchen showed relieved expressions, while the others showed unwillingness. Taifu Ning even denied her directly: "Who knows if the Seventh Princess had done something to this murder weapon just now?

The fingerprints just appeared. How come there are fingerprints on a dagger that has been stored for a few days? Do you usually have fingerprints on the things you carry?"

"Taifu Ning, you have read little and have little knowledge. I won't argue with you. I can teach you a lesson. People will leave fingerprints on everything they touch. Although they are invisible to the naked eye, as long as they are processed

, the handprint can be revealed. As long as the person behind it has not touched it, no matter how long it takes, the handprint will always be saved on it."

Leng Rutong smiled softly: "Of course Taifu Ning has no knowledge. You won't believe me when I tell you. Can you take off the third prince's jade pendant for me to use?" Leng Rutong glanced at the mutton-fat white jade hanging around Ye Qianzhi's neck.

.

Ye Qianzhi took it out neatly without comment and handed it to Leng Rutong.

"I might want to dye your jade pendant with a little flour, do you mind?" Leng Rutong asked.

Ye Qianzhi said calmly: "It doesn't matter."

"How long has it been since the Third Prince touched this jade pendant?"

"It's been a long time. I don't remember much. Anyway, I probably haven't touched it in the past few days."

Leng Rutong gently blew flour on the jade pendant as before, and the finger marks on it appeared lightly. Leng Rutong handed the sling to Taifu Ning: "Please take a look clearly, this jade pendant has three

The prince has not been touched for several days, and he will still show the lines of his fingerprints. Does the prince still want to say that the fingerprints on the murder weapon are my hands and feet?"

Taifu Ning's face was livid and he looked like he was suppressing food. He never thought that fingerprints could be used to solve crimes in this way.

"Master Duan, my husband is standing opposite the emperor. It is absolutely impossible for him to take this dagger. Is it possible to clear my husband's charges?" Leng Rutong looked at Duan Zhengchong without refusal.

Duan Zhengchong took the murder weapon from Leng Rutong's hand, carefully observed it and pondered for a long time, and finally said: "It is indeed as the Seventh Princess said, the fingerprints on this dagger indicate that the murderer was holding the dagger with the blade facing inwards."

"Even so, it cannot be ruled out that the seventh prince killed the emperor from behind and then ran to the opposite side." Empress Xiaode was still struggling.

Duan Zhengchong shook his head: "Queen Qi, the ministers have already inquired about Jixiang Ruyi. When they heard the emperor's pain outside, they rushed in immediately. At that time, the seventh prince had been standing opposite the emperor. So quickly,

It is impossible for the seventh prince to assassinate the emperor and then stand on the opposite side without moving." 13acv.

"Then, Sir Duan, can you let my husband out of the prison?" Leng Rutong asked loudly.

Duan Zhengchong nodded: "Okay, does the imperial concubine want to go in person, or does the minister send someone to go?"

Leng Rutong smiled sweetly: "Of course I plan to go in person." Leng Rutong turned around after speaking, but was stopped by Duan Zhengchong: "Seventh Princess, with this fingerprint, can we find out the murderer?"

Leng Rutong shook her head at him: "Everyone's fingerprints are similar, and the ones made from flour may not necessarily have clear stripes. It's difficult to check." When he said the last sentence, Leng Rutong looked at him with a warning look.
