Dong Linhuang frowned, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
After Ye Qingran became a martyr after all, the late emperor specifically ordered him to take more care of him.
Besides, he didn't believe that Ye Qingran didn't do this.
However, the current evidence does point to Ye Qingran.
Finally, he looked at Ye Qingran, waved his hand and said: "Come here, put Ye Qingran in the sky prison temporarily."
Hearing this, Ye Huanhuan and Zhao Yan looked at each other and smiled from an angle that no one else could see, and a sparkle flashed across each other's eyes.
Ye Qingran, you finally failed!
The guard came forward, but heard Ye Qingran raise his palm and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
"Ye Qingran, what are you trying to argue with?" Meng Qian asked in a deep voice.
"You are going to throw me into the sky prison, why don't you allow me to defend myself?"
Meng Yuan's eyes were as cold as ice, and he didn't want to hear Ye Qingran say another word in his heart. However, Donglin Huang opened his mouth and said, "Ye Qingran, just tell me what you have to say."
Ye Qingran looked at Meng Yuan and asked: "General Meng, you keep saying that I killed Meng Yao, so may I ask, what is my motive for killing?"
Meng Yuan couldn't answer. Meng Qian took over the words and gritted her teeth and said: "I just said that you killed my sister because of me. You took revenge on my sister for your hatred of me!" Said this
As she spoke, Meng Qian's eyes flashed with deep self-blame.
If she and Ye Qingran had not celebrated each other, would her sister not have to die?
"Miss Meng, don't you think your answer is too casual? Ambassador Xia, what do you think?"
Xia Zunshi of the Xuanjing Division is a master of investigating crimes. At this moment, he shook his head at Meng Qian's answer, "Miss Ye is right. The motive for the murder is too perfunctory."
Meng Qian froze.
Ye Qingran said again: "Also, you keep saying that I am vicious, so Miss Meng, let me ask you, that day on the Xuanwu stage, you lost to me. According to the agreement, you should be one-armed today, but both
How come my arm is still fine? Am I not vicious enough?"
Meng Qian couldn't answer for a while.
Zhao Yan rolled her eyes at this time and shouted: "Who knows if all this was arranged by you? You deliberately agreed to compete with Meng Qian, and then spared her after losing. I suspect that you are trying to confuse people.
The purpose is to leave a good reputation so that you can defend yourself after the incident is revealed!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads, thinking it made sense.
Ye Qingran nodded and said with a faint smile: "Miss Zhao's analysis is really good. Could it be that she often does this kind of thing?"
Zhao Yan's expression changed.
"Speaking of the competition, Miss Meng, if you had listened to me and found out the matter, wouldn't there have been no subsequent competitions?"
Meng Qian frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you keep saying that I was angry with Zhou Meng because of the new leader of the Dingyuan Army, and lost one of his arms in a rage? It just so happened that Commander Li Qing was present today. Why don't you ask him what happened that day?
What?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Huanhuan's expression suddenly changed. She did not expect that Ye Qingran would mention what happened at Dingyuan Hou Mansion that day at this time.
Meng Qian was startled.
Isn't it just Ye Qingran who got angry at Zhou Meng and cut off his arm? Is there something hidden?
Although Li Qing is only a small commander, because of his status as the former commander of the Dingyuan Army, he enjoys a high honor and is therefore qualified to participate in tonight's palace banquet.
"Li Qing!" Emperor Donglin called out, and Li Qing came out, saluted Emperor Donglin and then looked at Ye Qingran.
"Commander Li, tell Miss Meng why I disabled Zhou Meng's arm that day."
"Yes, young master!"
Li Qing told the whole story of what happened that day.
Meng Qian was shocked after hearing this.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Li Qing said that the reason why Ye Qingran crippled Zhou Meng's arm was because they made a bet and Zhou Meng lost. What she didn't expect was that Ye Qingran was in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in front of the old soldiers.
He bluntly said that the Dingyuan Army was a thing of the past, and he would never be the general of the Dingyuan Army in the future!
Is this true?
Why is it different from what she heard from Ye Huanhuan and Zhou Meng?
Ye Qingran raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Miss Meng, if you listen to both, you will be enlightened and if you listen to others, you will be dark. You must know this truth, right? From now on, don't trust the people around you so much, because she may be a poisonous snake and may bite you back at any time!"
It means something.
Meng Qian raised her eyelids and looked at Ye Huanhuan, whose back was stiff.
Ye Huanhuan, lied to her?
"Qianqian, I didn't lie to you, it's Zhou Meng, it's him..."
In desperation, Ye Huanhuan threw the blame to Zhou Meng. Anyway, Zhou Meng was not here today, so no one would refute what she said.
Ms. Zhao stood up to speak out for Ye Huanhuan at this moment, "Miss Meng, we Huanhuan have always been very honest and would never do anything deceptive. It must be because of Zhou Meng..."
Ye Qingran wanted to laugh.
If Zhou Meng were present, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Meng Qian's mind was in a state of confusion at the moment. She no longer had the extra energy to question Ye Huanhuan why he lied to her, nor did she have the energy to find out whether Ye Huanhuan's words were true or false.
The truth of this incident subverted her understanding, so much so that she even doubted everything she believed in.
"Okay, let's talk about those clues again." Ye Qingran said calmly: "The first one, I have already explained. The jade pendant has been lost for many years. I never expected that you could find it.
As for the second point, I have indeed been to the eastern suburbs because I have a group of subordinates there, and I went there to train them."
Ye Qingran went to train her subordinates?
Many people sneered at this.
Who doesn't know that Ye Qingran is a waste who can't practice? How does she train her subordinates?
Mu Qingrou stood up at this time and sneered: "Ye Qingran, can you make a good excuse? You have a group of subordinates in the eastern suburbs, which is nothing, but you said you would train your subordinates
, who believes it?”
"That is, you know a little about martial arts, but you really take yourself seriously? In front of real practitioners, you are nothing! What qualifications does a waste like you have to train your subordinates?"
…
Meng Qian obviously didn't believe it either.
Although Ye Qingran defeated her on the Xuanwu stage, this did not change the fact that she was a waste.
Amidst the questioning, the old prince of Lingguo Mansion slowly stood up.
