Without conclusive evidence, the people of the Liang family could not touch Ye Sili. As for the real murderer, Liang Caicai's father was the Minister of Punishment. Assassins had come into the house, so he could still sit back and ignore her?
Thinking of this, Munchun and Huanxia did not disturb Ye Sili's sleep and left.
Unexpectedly, before Ye Sili fell asleep, the knock on the door rang again.
"I don't want to interfere with her affairs. Don't disturb my sleep!" Ye Sili turned over and covered her head with the quilt.
"Princess, the prince wants you to go to the hall." Qingluo's voice sounded outside the door.
Ye Sili got up out of bed angrily, put on her clothes and opened the door, seeing Qing Luo standing at the door politely.
"What about late spring and summer?"
Qingluo answered honestly: "They said they didn't dare to disturb you anymore because you were angry."
"...Let's get some hot water." Ye Sili sat helplessly at the dressing table.
"Grandpa, you called me here so early in the morning..." Ye Sili walked to the hall listlessly. Before he could speak, his eyes widened when he saw the people in the guest seats, "Shilang Liang? Why are you here?"
Why did Liang Yi, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, come here? Is it because of Liang Caicai?
"Princess." Liang Yi stood up, saluted, and briefly explained his purpose, "Liang Caicai was assassinated yesterday. Does the Princess know?"
Ye Sili sat down next to Gu Liyou, "I just heard that Minister Liang came here early to suspect the princess?"
"Liang doesn't dare."
"Xiao Li, please don't be rude." Ye Zhongyao said, "Shilang Liang is just here to investigate on a routine basis, right, Shilang Liang?"
"Exactly."
Gu Liyou spoke slowly: "I wonder how Mr. Liang wants to investigate?"
Ye Sili and Gu Liyou had also dealt with Liang Yi before. Liang Yi was cold-faced and cold-hearted, and extremely difficult to get along with. Today, they looked a bit polite, presumably for Ye Zhongyao's sake.
Liang Yi looked businesslike, "Liang Caicai accused the assassin last night of being someone sent by the princess, so Princess Youlao went with Liang to the Liang Mansion and confronted Liang Caicai face to face."
Ye Zhongyao immediately became unhappy, "Shilang Liang, what's the point? With no proof and no evidence, Xiaoli must be confronted by the Liang family girl's empty accusation?"
"It's okay, Grandpa." Ye Sili stood up and took over the words, and said leisurely:
"I heard that this matter has been spreading in the streets and alleys early today. If I don't deal with this matter in time, I don't know what they will say. I don't care, but they talk about Prince Yugong's palace.
I don't like joking."
"Shilang Liang, let's go."
After saying that, Ye Sili turned around and walked out. As soon as he left the house, Gu Liyou chased after him and expressed that he wanted to go with him.
Liang Hai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, deliberately stayed in the house today to accompany his precious daughter. Seeing that Liang Yi had brought Ye Sili here, he ignored her and operated on her.
"Princess, Cai'er is young and ignorant. Although she had a dispute with you yesterday, your behavior is really chilling!"
Ye Sili had long heard that Liang Yi had a son at an old age, and he finally had a daughter. He was always very doting on her, and even Liang Caicai often went for a walk even when the Ministry of Punishment was handling cases.
For a dignified minister of the Ministry of Justice, such a lack of distinction between public and private affairs is indeed... chilling.
"Master Liang, don't talk nonsense. The Ministry of Punishment always pays attention to evidence when deciding cases. May I ask Master Liang where the evidence is?" Gu Liyou stepped forward to protect Ye Sili.
As soon as Gu Liyou finished speaking, there was the sound of breaking things in Liang Caicai's room.
"You all get out!"
"Go and arrest Princess Le'an!"
"She is the murderer!"
"..."
Liang Caicai's voice came out, and Liang Haida said: "What else do you have to say now?"
Ye Sili and Gu Liyou looked at each other and walked straight into the house.
"I heard that Miss Liang was assassinated yesterday. I even prepared my plain clothes. But unfortunately, I heard that Miss Liang's voice was full of anger. Didn't she sound like she was frightened?"
Without waiting for the servant to inform him, Ye Sili pushed the door directly and entered.
Liang Caicai was holding a plain vase and was about to drop it when she suddenly saw Ye Sili and others entering the room, and was stunned for a moment.
Liang Hai came in and saw the vase in Liang Caicai's hand, and immediately stopped him: "Cai'er, what are you doing! This was passed down from your great-grandfather, put it down quickly."
Before Liang Caicai could react, Ye Sili stepped forward and took the vase from her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked:
"I wonder if Miss Liang is thinking about this princess because of something important?"
Is there something important?
Liang Caicai reacted and pushed Ye Sili away as if frightened. Liang Caicai used a strong force. Ye Sili was unprepared and staggered back several steps and almost fell. Fortunately, Gu Liyou stepped forward to help her, but she
The vase in his hand could not escape the disaster, it fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
Liang Yi took back his steps and looked at Liang Caicai who was curled up on the bed.
Liang Hai put away the broken vase sadly, and was about to speak out to accuse him, but heard Ye Sili say first:
"The vase was broken in the hands of this princess. The Japanese princess will definitely choose a good one and send it to me."
Ye Sili said this, and Liang Hai couldn't say much.
Liang Yi stepped forward and asked Liang Caicai in a serious and routine manner:
"In front of the princess, you must tell me everything that happened last night. You must not hide anything."
Liang Caicai was a little scared. She slowly raised her head and looked at Liang Yi with tears in her eyes, "Brother Yi, Cai'er is scared..."
Brother Yi? Ye Sili frowned and then remembered that Liang Yi's father and Liang Hai were cousins. According to their seniority, he and Liang Caicai were naturally cousins.
Even though Liang Caicai looked pitiful, Liang Yi's tone was still not soft at all, "The princess is here and she will give you an explanation. You can tell her what happened."
Liang Caicai then looked at Ye Sili and said with a cry:
"Yesterday it was Cai'er who contradicted the princess. It was all Cai'er's fault. But the princess punished her, so why did she have to put Cai'er to death?"
Ye Sili raised her eyebrows and took a few steps forward. Liang Caicai was so frightened that she hid in Liang Yi's direction.
When Liang Yi saw Ye Sili stepping forward, he took a step back and gave way.
Ye Sili stood by the bed and looked down at Liang Caicai, "May I ask Miss Liang, when did the assassin come last night?"
"A moment later." Liang Caicai looked away.
"How many assassins are there?"
"one person."
"Can you see the face and body shape clearly?"
"Never."
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know."
"Can I leave physical evidence?"
"No, no."
Ye Sili turned around and asked: "Master Liang, do you know what it is to slander this princess?"
Liang Hai is the Minister of Punishment and has been in office for many years. He heard clearly the conversation between Princess Le'an and Cai'er just now. If his precious daughter hadn't been assassinated, how could he have risked the accusation of disrespect to invite Princess Le'an?
"Dad, I didn't frame her falsely. The assassin last night must have been sent by her, and she is the murderer!" Liang Caicai cried.
Gu Liyou asked: "Miss Liang, be careful! May I ask why Miss Liang concluded that yesterday's assassin was related to Ah Li?"
Liang Caicai was not polite, "Don't pretend to be stupid, yesterday..."
Liang Caicai suddenly paused, avoided Ye Sili's eyes, and looked at Gu Liyou again, her attitude was still arrogant, but her tone was much weaker, "Yesterday I had some misunderstanding with you, which made the princess unhappy. Many people saw it.
, and I happened to be assassinated last night, and this assassin must have been sent by you to take revenge."
Ye Sili chuckled softly, "Your logic is funny. I was almost bitten by a snake in the courtyard last night. According to your opinion, the princess punished you yesterday. Could it be that you also let the snake go on purpose?
To take revenge on this princess?"
Liang Caicai said anxiously: "You are talking nonsense. It is already the twelfth lunar month. Where did the snake come from? Besides, why did it happen yesterday when it didn't happen before?"
"Then why did the assassin happen to be yesterday?"
Liang Caicai was about to speak, but Ye Sili choked her back, "Because we had a dispute yesterday, wasn't it?"
"You are obviously changing your mind. The whole government can testify for me about the assassination. Can I still make nonsense?"
Ye Sili clapped her hands and said: "What a coincidence, everyone in Duke Yu's house can also testify for me about the snake encounter. Is it possible that this princess still wants to lie to you?"
Gu Liyou smiled helplessly.
"Where is the snake? Do you have any physical evidence?" Liang Caicai said stubbornly.
"Where was the assassin yesterday? Where is your physical evidence?" Ye Sili turned around, looked around the room, and said:
"Master Liang is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. How do you know that yesterday's assassin was not Master Liang's enemy? Besides, even this princess knows that the Liang Mansion is heavily guarded and the guards are all carefully selected. But now you are watching helplessly.
Watch the assassin escape."
Ye Sili walked up to Liang Hai and said, "Master Liang, you must plan your own affairs in your position."
"you……"
"Master Liang, Ah Li is a little too outspoken, but... what he said is reasonable." Gu Liyou stepped forward and stood beside Ye Sili, "You and I are both ministers, and I believe that Master Liang has not abused his power.
A person who makes no distinction between public and private affairs.”
Liang Hai was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment, but he heard the guard come to report: "Sir, we found traces of the gang that sold illegal salt a few days ago."
Liang Hai was just trying to get them to wait, but he saw Ye Sili tilting her head slightly and staring at him.
"Liang Yi, I'll leave this place to you." After saying that, Liang Hai walked away.
Ye Sili walked towards Liang Caicai. Before she could speak, she saw Liang Caicai looking at Liang Yi pitifully, "Brother Yi, I'm afraid."
Ye Sili secretly took a look at Liang Yi's reaction. Sure enough, he was still as indifferent as ever.
It seems that the relationship between these cousins is not very good.
"Shilang Liang, I have also cooperated with you in coming to the Liang Mansion. I have told you all the questions and answers that need to be asked. If there is anything else, I will go back."
Liang Caicai said immediately: "Brother Yi, we can't let her leave, she is the one who harmed me."
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense." Ye Sili asked: "Why, you won't let me leave? Do you, the Liang Mansion, still want to detain this princess?"
"Princess, please calm down."
Liang Yi sent someone to send Ye Sili and Gu Liyou back to Yugong Mansion.
"Xiao Li and Li You are back, please tell the kitchen to serve the food."
Seeing Ye Sili and Gu Liyou returning home, Ye Zhongyao immediately expressed concern:
"How about it? Is Liang Hai trying to embarrass you?"
