The Ming family held a very important position in the court, and their words were very weighty. Cai Siqing's face showed panic.
Just at this time, the government servants carried the prince out and said, "Sir, His Royal Highness has fainted. Do you want to summon the doctor?"
"Excellent, why did His Highness faint?"
The yamen servant looked at Yan Mingzhu carefully and then replied: "I don't know, but when His Highness the Crown Prince brought this woman to trial, he also brought four guards with him, but he never thought that when his subordinates entered, they found
Except for His Royal Highness, the remaining four guards have all died!"
It goes without saying that there were only Yan Mingzhu and the Crown Prince in the interrogation room. The Crown Prince's person was dead and the Crown Prince himself was unconscious. The person who had the biggest suspicion was naturally Yan Mingzhu.
"Did you attack His Highness the Crown Prince and kill His Highness's bodyguards?"
Yan Mingzhu blinked, now it was her turn to perform.
"Master Cai, are you joking? I am a weak woman, even if I have some skills, how can I fight one against five?"
When Cai Siqing heard this, he also felt that it made sense. Although Yan Mingzhu's kung fu was good, the prince led all the first-class guards of the East Palace, and their kung fu was much higher than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners. And how could Yan Mingzhu, a little girl, be able to do so?
Killed four guards in one breath?
"But there were only you, His Highness the Crown Prince and his guards at that time. In the interrogation room, who else but you could kill all the guards and injure His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yan Mingzhu pretended to be scared and covered her chest, as if she had recalled some very scary memories.
When Ming Xingjian saw Yan Mingzhu's expression, he thought she was frightened. He immediately put his hand in front of her eyes and said sternly to Cai Siqing: "Since Mr. Cai is obsessed with how those guards died, he will investigate it himself."
,Aren’t you the Minister of Dali Temple?
Investigating murder cases is just a common occurrence for you. Miss Yan was frightened and was tortured privately by the prince and others. She is too weak to answer those questions."
But Cai Siqing stood in front and said, "I hope Ming Shaoqing can be considerate. After all, this involves four lives, and Miss Yan San is the only survivor. If she doesn't give me an explanation, I will
We can only go through the process and ask the girl to ask questions."
Ming Xingjian's eyes filled with anger, but at this moment, Yan Mingzhu suddenly patted the back of his hand and gave him a calm look.
"I only remember that my hands and feet were tied up by the prince and others, and I was taken to the interrogation room and tied to a wooden frame. The prince said that if I didn't confess that the assassination was related to the Yuan family, he would torture me in all kinds of ways.
Use it once."
Before he finished speaking, Ming Zizhan became extremely angry, "This is unreasonable. He is trying to extract a confession through torture, and he is beaten into submission. The world is clear at the feet of the emperor. In the eyes of his prince, does he still have the law of the king?"
Yan Mingzhu rolled up some of her sleeves and showed it to Cai Siqing and others, "Master Cai, look at these injuries on my body, which were caused by the prince's order to whip them with a whip. Master Cai has been in charge of Dali Temple for many years, so he must have
Do you recognize the marks left by this whip?"
Cai Siqing naturally recognized it, because the whip used for punishment in Dali Temple was indeed somewhat different from other whips, and there were barbs on the whip.
After being whipped on the body, the barbs will hook into the flesh and the muscles will be torn off. The pain is several times more painful than being whipped with a regular whip.
"Then...how did those four guards die?"
Yan Mingzhu put down her sleeves and pretended to be afraid, wiping her unfounded tears with the corners of her sleeves, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly a guard went crazy and started slashing with a knife. During the fight, they all lost their lives.
life, and the prince was also injured and fainted in the process."
"If a guard suddenly goes crazy and kills people, why are you safe and sound?"
Yan Mingzhu responded calmly: "He seems to only chop things that move. I was tied to a wooden frame and couldn't move, so I escaped with my life. At that moment, Mr. Ming and others opened the door and came in. What happened next
Then everyone else will know about it."
Yan Mingzhu had already thought out all this rhetoric before she was struggling and had her hands and feet tied by the prince.
All four guards were dead, and the prince was also beaten to a semi-invalid state by her. The most important thing was that the injuries were to his internal organs and lungs, which were difficult to cure. He would not be able to wake up even after ten and a half months.
The prince can't wake up, so at this point in time, all she has to say is her rhetoric. Even if others doubt it, dead people can't talk, and there is a half-dead person who can't even talk.
The most important thing is that no one will believe that she, a weak woman, has the ability to kill four first-class guards. They are more willing to believe that one of the guards went crazy and killed several other guards.
Sure enough, after Cai Siqing heard this rhetoric, he began to weigh it in his mind.
Obviously, Ming Xingjian no longer has this patience, "Master Cai, find out that the murderer is a matter of Dali Temple and has nothing to do with Miss Yan. Miss Yan was seriously injured. Even if she has entered Dali Temple now,
But as long as she is not convicted for a day, she is not considered a real criminal. If something happens to her because she succumbs to serious injuries, His Highness the King of the North will come to interrogate him personally. I will definitely explain everything that happened today in front of His Highness. Mr. Cai, you
It’s a good idea to weigh it up!”
Compared with the prince, Qi Jue is the chief judge of this assassination case, and Qi Jue has an unstable temperament. Previously, he killed the first-rank minister whenever he asked, let alone the minister of Dali Temple?
Cai Siqing quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then showed an apologetic smile, stepped back, and made a gesture of invitation.
"It is indeed wrong to use lynching, but after all, Miss Yan San has not been cleared of charges and cannot leave Dali Temple. How about this, I have someone clean up a side room and ask the doctor to come over and treat Miss Yan San's injuries first. How about this?"
Of course Ming Xingjian wanted to ignore it and take Yan Mingzhu away directly, but that was not possible, at least not yet.
He knew that this was the biggest concession made by Cai Siqing, so he didn't care about it anymore, "In this case, I will trouble Mr. Cai."
When Ming Xingjian took Yan Mingzhu to the wing, Cai Siqing hurriedly ordered: "What are you still waiting for? Send His Royal Highness back to the East Palace as soon as possible!"
"This...if someone from the East Palace asks why His Royal Highness is unconscious, how should the subordinates answer?"
Cai Siqing waved his sleeves and said: "Of course I answered truthfully. His Highness the Crown Prince insisted on interrogating the person. Except for the Crown Prince and Yan Mingzhu, the four guards are all dead. There is no evidence to prove their deaths. If the East Palace wants to settle accounts, just ask him
Yan Mingzhu’s settlement of accounts has nothing to do with Dali Temple!”
The struggle between the Crown Prince and King Dingbei is a struggle between the kings of hell. If these little devils get involved, they will die without a single body. Pick out all you can!
After entering the wing and closing the door, Yan Mingzhu said: "Mr. Ming, please let me down. I'm fine."
