Yin Yun knelt in the center of the hall, lined up next to Nangong Lin. When the enemies met, one dodged and did not dare to look at him, while the other turned his head to one side with red eyes, staring at him, making a faint sound.
: "Mr. Yin, you are finally here..."
Yin Yun was shocked and hurriedly lowered her head, "You killed someone without remorse, and you came to frame me. Do you still have humanity?!"
"Why did Mr. Yin say this? Don't you have a share in the case between me and Jia Wei?"
"You, you are talking arrogantly! I wanted to say a few nice words for you for the sake of being a good friend, but it seems I am too troublesome!"
The corners of Nangong Lin's mouth twitched fiercely to show dissatisfaction.
Changsun Wuzheng asked him: "Do you recognize the last pavilion of Yunlai Pavilion?"
Yin Yun didn't even look at the woman. She nodded and said, "Who doesn't know the top card in Yunlai Pavilion?"
"Was she at your house three nights ago?"
"She... so what?!" Yin Yun said bravely, "What does this have to do with Jia Wei's death? I just invited a leader to sing a song, and I didn't break the law!"
"You evildoer! Shut up!" Yin Zhuo was so anxious that he wished he could go up and push him to the ground to confess his crime.
Changsun Wuzheng smiled and said: "Master Yin, please be patient and listen to me review the case."
Yin Zhuo knew his situation well. If he said more, he might arouse suspicion, but this arrogant son was so arrogant in the hall, in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. If he didn't stop his grandson Wu Zheng, I'm afraid...
Yin Zhuo bowed to Wei Zixu and apologized first: "The dog is used to being arrogant and indulgent. He speaks freely in front of His Highness. Please make atonement for His Highness. I will definitely discipline him well when I go back!"
Wei Zixu's eyes swept across Nangong Lin and Yin Yun, and landed on Yin Zhuo. He was now eager to know who was the real murderer, regardless of whether it was hidden or not, so he waved his hand to him to shut up.
Changsun Wuzheng continued: "The witness pointed out that you had a dispute with Jia Wei and deliberately avoided her, is that right?"
Yin Yun looked at his father, wanting to get the next step of instructions, but was blocked by a huge figure. Changsun Wuzheng smiled at him and said, "Master Yin has not answered my question yet."
Yin Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Have you ever bribed Jia Chui and deceived Nangong Lin?"
He still nodded.
"Nangong Lin found out about you, have you ever had murderous intentions?"
Yin Yun was subconsciously thinking about nodding. When she heard the word murder, her neck stiffened with fear and her face changed dramatically, "Sir, I didn't kill anyone!"
Changsun Wuzheng continued: "You said you didn't kill anyone, so maybe you can prove your innocence?"
"My jade pendant is intact and at home. You can send someone to get it for verification!"
"Yes, yes, the jade pendant can prove it. I will send someone to get it immediately!" Yin Zhuo was about to greet his servants, but was stopped by Chang Sun Wu Zheng. He turned around and asked the prince for orders to send someone from the Criminal Department to make this trip.
During this gap, Su Yan said to Li Hong beside him: "I still want to thank you for coming to help regardless of your own safety!"
Li Hong cupped his hands and felt a little ashamed: "I was supposed to come here, but I lost my head for a moment and I really don't have the face to see anyone!"
"The world is desolate, and everyone has too much time to look after themselves. It's rare for you to be like this."
After saying goodbye to Su Yan at Cricket House, Li Hong did not go far, but followed him. When they went to the dark market, he immediately went to ask the shop owner and learned that Su Yan suspected Yin Yun. Li Hong suddenly remembered that that night
On the way to escort Mo Xuan back to Yun Lai Pavilion, he once told him about the dispute between Jia Wei and Yin Yun. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid it would be a big discovery. Li Hong did not dare to alert the snake, so he hid at home and analyzed it: If Yin Yun is the murderer,
Then this case will be troublesome! On one side is the Yin family, who are the minions of the six ministers, and behind them is the huge Mexican Party; on the other side is the Nangong family, who has no support except Changsun Wuzheng, the Minister of Punishment. Changsun Wuzheng has been
Showing an upright image, the Criminal Department has solved countless difficult cases under his leadership, and has never tolerated adultery. However, he has never provoked people from the Mexican Party. In this case, Lord Changsun probably won't burn himself because of Nangong Lin.
So the outcome was obvious, but... Later, Li Hong found out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here to sit in the final hearing, so the nature of the matter was different. The Crown Prince was already secretly competing with Mo Fei, so how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Moreover, Mr. Su has been pursuing this case relentlessly. Judging from her confident appearance, she will definitely have a 10% better chance of winning...
Thinking of this, I decided to give it a try. If I could help justice, Li Hong would become famous!
But at this time, Li Hong heard the person next to him sigh, as if he had something hidden. He asked her tentatively: "Mr. Su, do you have any doubts?"
"It's not doubt, but worry."
Li Hong's heart, which had finally calmed down, almost jumped to his throat, "Why did you say that?"
"Whether the case is successful or not, the power of the Mexican Party will not be eliminated, and all those who have fought against it will be threatened."
Hearing that this was what Su Yan was worried about, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry about it. The one who stood out today is," he lowered his voice to the lowest level, "it's the one from above. We little guys are not worth it."
They use knives and guns, but if they have the skills, they might as well consolidate their party as soon as possible to deal with the one above!"
Su Yan couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "Okay, it would be a pity if you don't become an official!"
"I also heard and saw a lot in Yunlai Pavilion, so I naturally understand better. However, I thought I could help, but I didn't expect it to be of any help. I'm really ashamed. I don't know if Mr. Su has any plans next.
?”
"I originally thought that there would be one less person involved, but the opponent is so tyrannical. It seems I can only do this!" As he said this, he went to ask Changsun Wuzheng for instructions. Li Hong was a little surprised by her clueless words, but in the end he
I didn't dare to ask more about his identity, so I could only wait patiently.
At this moment, the general sent by the Ministry of Punishment came back and presented the jade pendant to the prince for inspection, and also invited the owner of the jade shop to appraise it.
It was getting late, but everyone was very calm. Only Yin Zhuo and his son were on pins and needles, not daring to relax for a moment. The old shop owner took the jade pendant and only looked at it and said something strange. Yin Yun was immediately confused: "This thing is...
I bought it from your jade shop, and I have left a certificate. You must report it truthfully. If you dare to lie in front of His Highness, even ten thousand deaths will not be enough!"
The owner of the workshop checked it several times and returned the jade pendant, saying, "The weaving technique of this tassel is indeed the same as that of my jade workshop, but the material is slightly different."
Changsun Wuzheng took a step forward and said to the workshop owner: "What the workshop owner means is that this is not from the Jade Workshop?"
The shop owner was a little embarrassed and said: "I can't say for sure. In special circumstances, we will use other similar materials instead, but there is no record and it cannot be traced back."
Wei Zixu thought for a long time and asked Su Yan urgently: "Mr. Su, does he still have any evidence? If you can find out who is the real murderer between them before sunset, I will reward you!"
Changsun Wuzheng took a step forward and said: "Your Highness is wise, Mr. Su also has a certification, and I have asked someone to bring him here. Please summon your Highness."
At this time, Yin Zhuo finally couldn't hold it anymore and knelt on the ground with a plop, shouting injustice: "Your Highness, Wei Chen was also there that night, so many servants were present. Jia Wei was just drunk and causing trouble that night. It was Wei Chen who kicked him out."
Jia Chui left the house unharmed! Miss Moxuan was in the wing, how could she have seen it! There is also this jade pendant, the shop owner said it is indeed from the Jade Shop, this..."
"Sir!" Su Yan interrupted him, "What the workshop owner said was that the materials are roughly similar, and he did not admit that this object was completely produced by the jade workshop. If you have doubts about the workshop owner's words, it is better to invite the last witness.
All truth and falsehood will be clear."
Beads of sweat rolled down Yin Zhuo's forehead, and the whites of his red eyes were almost bleeding. His hands on the ground couldn't help but tremble. He knelt straight with difficulty: "If this person can't prove it yet,
Woolen cloth?"
Su Yan naturally knew what he was thinking, so he smiled slightly and said, "Let me do whatever I want."
Hearing this, the last hope in Yin Zhuo's heart was shattered. He could only watch in despair as the last witness came on stage. The appearance of this person made Yin Yun go completely crazy and collapsed on the ground.
"Li Chengru, a common man, pays homage to His Royal Highness, gentlemen." Craftsman Li slowly knelt on the ground, his thin body trembling slightly, but his voice was loud and steady, and there was no trace of his panic at this time.
Wei Zixu handed him the jade pendant tassel and asked, "Can you recognize this thing?"
Craftsman Li looked at Yin Yun subconsciously before taking the jade pendant. His fingers slowly rubbed from the jade pendant to the end of the tassel, then stopped abruptly: "This thing... was made by a villain."
There was an uproar in Chenying Palace.
"Two days ago, around the time of Chenshi, Mr. Yin Yun visited the dark market and asked me to make one exactly like the tassels in the Jade Shop. This is it."
The owner of the workshop couldn't help but ask him: "Good guy, your skills are comparable to those of the craftsmen in my workshop. Who did you learn from?"
"Zhao Guo Li Chongming is my father..."
The shop owner suddenly realized: "By the way, your surname is also Li! What a coincidence, we come from the same school! It's a pity that you have learned a skill but made a living by making counterfeit goods in the dark market. I am really ashamed of your father!"
Craftsman Li knew that he was wrong and did not make any excuse. He only said to the owner of the shop: "My family is in decline. I went to the dark market to deceive people in order to make a living. The common people deserved the fate I got today." He raised his ravaged face and faced in front of him.
These high-ranking officials said, "Young Master Yin came to the grassroots that day and only asked about repairing the jade pendant. The grassroots always only do business to make money and don't care about other people's business. But that day in the dark market, I heard that Mr. Yin was in big trouble, and he said... about Yin."
The family had to pay compensation again, but after careful consideration by the common people, they felt that it had something to do with Jia Wei's death."
When Yin Yun saw that her fraud could not be concealed, she resorted to a bitter trick: "I lost my tassel, but it was definitely not the one at the crime scene. I lost the whole tassel, and the one that was incomplete was not mine! If it weren't for
I'm afraid of being implicated in Jia Chui's death, so I don't have to go to the dark market to trade, and I don't have to burn the original one, otherwise... otherwise I can prove my innocence!" He thought for a while, and hurriedly added, "Nangong Lin and Jia Chui had a personal grudge.
, he is the biggest suspect!"
Su Yan couldn't help laughing while watching his dying struggle: "You and Jia Wei just finished arguing and went to the dark market to repair the jade pendant early the next morning. Are you too anxious? Although this jade pendant is expensive, it's not that important to you, right?
Moreover, Jia Wei’s death was only spread in the afternoon. It was discovered by me and the students, and no one knew about it before. So, Mr. Yin, where did you hear that Jia Wei was dead? Also, if I didn’t
The inference is wrong, you stole Nangong Lin's ears, and you went to the dark market to make a fake one to confuse the public and hide the truth!"
The prince stood up angrily: "Yin Yun, please tell the truth!"
Yin Yun was so frightened by the prince's majesty that she shivered and couldn't hold on any longer, so she confessed everything: "Yes, it was I who killed Jia Chui! I killed someone at that time. I was... very scared in my heart, so I threw him away to the back mountain."
"Killing time?" Changsun Wuzheng asked.
"Chou Shi, I don't remember the specific time. When I came back, I found that the earring had been torn off by him and I didn't know where it was. I was worried that the Ministry of Punishment would conduct a thorough investigation and sooner or later it would be found on me. I...I immediately went to forge a
…”
"Nangong Lin's tassel, was it done by you?"
Yin Yun burst into tears and nodded, "Yes, I stole it, right after the forgery."
"Then how did you escape the interrogation of the city defenders when you returned to the city overnight?"
He closed his eyes and said in despair: "I bribed them all, just let them say they have never seen me..."
After hearing this, the prince criticized the case and said angrily: "Killing, bribing, framing, Yin Yun, how brave you are! Yin Zhuo, is your father really not aware of this?"
Yin Zhuo's legs went weak and he lay on the ground, "It was all done by the sinner. The kid just accidentally hurt someone. The sinner was obsessed for a while and was afraid of blackmail from Jia Wei, so he killed him and abandoned the body behind the mountain. The kid didn't know anything about it!"
However, what he said was meaningless. According to the autopsy results, the only fatal blow could only be penetrated by an eight-foot man, and Yin Zhuo was of short stature, so it was impossible for him to do it.
Three days later, the final verdict of the Houshan murder case was widely announced with a notice posted everywhere in Ruoshui. The notice read: After investigation by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple reviewed the verdict and found that Yin Yun committed the murder and abandoned the body in the Houshan, framing the blame.
, his evil deeds are so heinous that he is now sentenced to exile and will never be able to enter the Rong Kingdom. His father, Yin Zhuo, the Minister of Dali Temple, sheltered criminals and abused his power. His crime is unforgivable. His official title was removed and he was guarding the imperial mausoleum.
Although exile is not fatal, it is still worse than life. This is the biggest punishment for Yin Yun, a young man from a wealthy family.
Su Yan specially built a merit and demerit sign outside Shu You Tang. He tore up a copy of the notice and pasted it up for passers-by to stop and comment. But the most important thing was for passers-by to also praise Shu You Tang for their concerted efforts to overturn the verdict.
This deed. In fact, this deed has been known to everyone. Everyone knows that although Mr. Su is a woman, he has the wisdom and courage of a man. In just one day, he found all the evidence to overturn the case. In the nearly 100 years since the founding of Rongguo, this is the first time that someone like Su appears.
Such a brave and resourceful woman as your husband is truly unprecedented and will be difficult for future generations to match!
Finally, everyone classified the matter into one sentence: Strange man, strange woman!
After the incident, Nangong Lin and his family packed a big gift and personally sent it to Lanshan Courtyard to pay their respects. Su Yan pushed it away with a smile, "You don't leave your name when you do good deeds, but you don't know when you give gifts!" Helplessly, Nangong Qian couldn't help it.
When he asked her to accept it, Su Yan declined repeatedly, so he had no choice but to accept it. He turned around and opened the gift, and couldn't help but be shocked. It was just a basket of Shushan specialties, even if he was thanking him? He couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Nangong was really incorruptible like his grandfather!
As for the victim, Jia Chui's uncle, Minister of Industry and Industry, he never came forward, nor did he appear at the final hearing that day. I guess he was thin-skinned, and he had forced the eldest son's family like that, but in the end he got the wrong person, so naturally he was embarrassed to show up again.
In the dark and dirty alleys, taverns, gambling houses, and small workshops opened their doors, and crowds of people crowded. A thin black robe stood in the deepest corner, almost hidden in the darkness, and the willow trees protruding from the high wall were in front of him.
The top of his head danced in the wind, and a few willow leaves fell, brushing against his cheek and falling on the edge of his shoes.
Xu Niang poked her head out of the only restaurant with a closed door, looked around, and after making sure no one was prying, she came to Zuo Qing's side.
Zuo Qing's face was a little pale, and he frowned deeply at this time, adding a touch of calmness, "Your Excellency Xinghan's secret passage leads directly to here. If there is an emergency in the future, this will be our only escape route. I have to ask my aunt to help me.
Recruit some trustworthy people and live here pretending to be businessmen, there will always be times of need."
Xu Niang smiled happily and said to him: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle the things you told me. By the way, although the murder case is over, I'm worried that there are people who are suspicious. Once they are suspected, they will be pursued. You
Never reveal any clues to anyone, especially Su Yan!"
"yes."
Xu Niang's face suddenly darkened, "Zhen'er, you have to remember that the love between children is fleeting. The only thing you have to do is to kill Mo Fei. You can't be soft-hearted!"
Zuo Qing looked at her in confusion, and after a long while he nodded mechanically. An inaudible voice floated out of his throat, "I know."
After meeting, Zuo Qing put on his cloak and left the alley cautiously. When he stepped onto the carriage, a tragic groan suddenly hit his eardrums. He stopped suddenly. When he went to check his surroundings again, the sound had disappeared.
, except for the gentle breeze at night and the people coming and going in the streets, there is nothing else.
What he didn't notice was that just across the street, Mo Xuan was knocked unconscious by the palm of a black figure. Two men in black jumped out of a green-covered carriage, carried her onto the carriage, and immediately sped away.
And that dark figure has a pair of bloodthirsty eyes just like Ge Yiyan.
