Chang Suining strode to the front yard, and when he was about to leave the house and rush to Dali Temple, he met Manager Bai walking towards him quickly, holding a letter in his hand.
"Girl!"
Manager Bai obviously knew about it, and he looked anxious at this time. He handed over the letter: "Girl, take a look at this first. It is secretly sent by a young man who has not reported his identity."
Chang Suining took it and opened the letter in a hurry without any delay.
There was not a single word on the envelope, but once the letter was revealed, Chang Sui Ning knew who was writing the letter.
It's Yao Yi.
Yao Yi was the minister of Dali Temple, and he was ordered to investigate the murder of Changsun Xuan. He explained the progress of the case in his letter.
The reason why Dali Temple arrested Chang Sui'an for interrogation was because a man's jade pendant was found where Chang Sunxuan's body was buried.
After verification, it was found that the jade pendant with a rare jade color was originally a tribute from Dongluo. It was given to an official by the saint many years ago together with other rewards. The official was none other than Chang Kuo.
.
Chang Kuo was not in the capital, so the ownership of this jade pendant naturally fell on his son Chang Sui'an.
Dali Temple secretly invited several officials and disciples who were close to Chang Sui An to identify it. They all recognized that the jade pendant was undoubtedly Chang Sui An's.
The appearance of something worn personally in a corpse pit cannot be explained by coincidence. Even if this cannot lead to an immediate conviction, it still makes the owner of the jade pendant the most suspect.
In addition, no one invited by Dali Temple for questioning in the past two days could prove that he and Chang Sui were together at the time of the incident. On the contrary, many people recalled that they were not together when picking chrysanthemums in the back mountain.
How could I see Chang Sui'an? For a long time, I didn't know where he went.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for Dali Temple to arrest people.
This is the "evidence" that Dali Temple currently has. Yao Yi probably expected that Chang Suining would go to Dali Temple out of concern for Chang Suining's safety without knowing anything about it, so he rushed there.
At this time, someone secretly came to deliver the message.
In the letter, he promised Chang Suining that as long as Chang Sui'an was in Dali Temple, he would not let Chang Sui'an's safety be threatened by any threats outside the law.
In other words, Yao Yi has thought about the possibility that Chang Sui'an may be framed, and he will be wary of someone secretly plotting to silence Chang Sui'an to confirm Chang Sui'an's crime.
In addition, at the end of the letter, he repeatedly warned Chang Sui Ning not to act rashly, let alone chase her to Dali Temple at this time, otherwise it might cause greater trouble. Not only would she not be able to help Chang Sui Ning, but she would also cause trouble to herself.
Get involved.
He knew that Chang Sui Ning was not afraid of being "implicated", but Chang Kuo was not in Beijing at this time, and there were only two siblings in the Chang family. If she was also imprisoned, it would only make Chang Sui An's situation even more helpless.
There is no need for Yao Yi to remind you of this truth. Chang Sui Ning also knows very well that the reason why she rushed to Dali Temple just now was not because of impulsiveness, but because she was afraid that something would happen to Chang Sui An.
Now that Yao Yi wrote to her and explained the situation, she was able to temporarily feel at ease, gave up the idea of going to Dali Temple to look for the person, and then calmly thought about how to deal with it.
Not long after, the Qiao brothers and sisters, who had just left not long ago, returned, apparently having heard the news on the way.
Cui Lang, who had sent Dr. Sun back, also arrived quickly.
That night, Qiao Jijiu and his wife came to Chang Mansion in a hurry, and Yu Zeng also sent someone over.
At the same time, the story spread like wildfire that Chang Sui'an, the son of General Chang Kuo, had been exposed for killing his eldest grandson Qiniangzi and had been arrested by Dali Temple.
And after just one day and one night of fermentation, Chang Sui'an already had a "reasonable" motive for killing among the people——
There are rumors everywhere that the Chang family is dissatisfied and resentful about the fact that their girl did not get the chance to become the crown princess. The husband of the Chang family is young and energetic, impulsive and reckless, and he always puts his younger sister first in everything. He met his eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady, in the back mountain.
At that time, there was a conflict between about three or two sentences, and then he became murderous.
He also said that the girl of the Chang family had her eyes set high above her head and only wanted to be the crown princess, so she rejected Crown Prince Rong and Governor Cui. Seeing that her dream was in vain, she became jealous of the seventh lady, her eldest grandson.
There are even secret rumors that Chang Sui An committed the murder because he was incited or even instigated by his sister.
There are endless rumors like this that are similar to each other.
Xi'er truthfully relayed everything she heard to Chang Sui Ning.
The little female envoys like Xi'er also know very well that this is a matter of life and death for the husband, and they cannot sugarcoat it. It is right for them to tell the girl truthfully everything they hear.
Hearing these rumors that were "sound, with cause and effect", Chang Sui Ning sneered and said: "It seems that someone has spent their efforts and is eager to use the opinions of many people to help convict brother."
The fabrication was well-founded, and combined with her brother's impression in the eyes of everyone, she transformed him into a murderer who committed crimes due to reckless impulse.
There will naturally be loopholes in these statements under careful study by thoughtful people. But most people don't know much and they just rely on their ears.
Therefore, it is enough to use this to incite public opinion and determine the motive of her brother's murder in the eyes of the world.
"Uncle Blade——"
"My subordinate is here."
"Take someone to secretly investigate the origin of these rumors and see if you can find any clues."
Chang Ren responded seriously and immediately stepped back to investigate.
Chang Sui Ning then told A Che: "In the past few days, take Xiao Duan Xiao Wu and the others and sneak into the beggars and homeless people to keep an eye on them."
The beggars and homeless people scattered in various alleys in the city are sometimes the targets that practitioners ignore.
What’s more…
"Guanshi Bai, please send someone a private letter to Mr. Yu and ask him to help find out the source of these rumors."
If you want to clear away Sui'an's suspicions, you must do your best to dig deeper into the source of these menacing rumors, which may be a breakthrough.
No matter what unknown betrayal and entanglement happened between Li Shang and Yu Zeng, she could not let go of any useful opportunity to save Chang Sui'an.
Yu Zeng is an elder who has watched Sui'an grow up. She believes that the promise he made yesterday that he would do his best when he sent people to his door was not false, at least not entirely.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She is just a little girl who just got haircut in the general's mansion. She has no power. If she wants to save Chang Sui'an, she must not involve other people.
Under the premise, she must borrow all possible means.
Chang Suining thought of Yao Yi.
The intuition of the person handling the case is indeed keen. Yesterday, Yao Yigang reminded her in the letter to pay attention to her words and deeds, so as not to be involved. Today, there is indeed her shadow in the rumor, implying that Chang Sui'an's murder of eldest son Sun Xuan was instigated by her.
Instruct.
"Girl."
At this time, Ah Zhi turned back and said: "My maid has carefully questioned the people who are closely serving Langjun in the courtyard. According to their memories, the last time they saw Langjun wearing the jade pendant given by the emperor was a month ago."
.”
"One month ago..." Chang Sui Ning looked thoughtful.
One month ago it was around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Was the jade pendant "lost" at that time?
Since that jade pendant is now used as physical evidence of her brother's murder, if its traces during this period can be found out, the person who framed her brother can be found.
Under Chang Suining's arrangement, although everyone in the Chang Mansion was still worried about their husband, they were not running around like headless flies. Everyone had their own things to do, and they were busy running around.
Even though I am anxious, I am more confident in my direction.
"Girl." A servant walked in quickly: "This is the list of people who picked chrysanthemums in the mountains behind Dayun Temple that girl asked for that day!"
Chang Suining took it.
The Chang's Mansion was shrouded in crisis. The entire Changsun Mansion was filled with grief and anger due to the death of the Seventh Lady. At the same moment, in the Yingguo Mansion, where the Crown Prince Mingjin was staying, there was the sound of a musical instrument.
Although Ming Jin has never married a real wife, he has already collected a lot of unofficial bridesmaids in the courtyard, and the person playing the piano at the moment is his favorite maidservant.
Ming Jin lay sideways on the couch. After listening to the news that the servant brought back from outside, he closed his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, this little bitch of the Chang family really got an advantage this time..."
"She was lucky. She happened to be praying in the Nv Pagoda that day... If she had been in the back mountain at that time, she would not have been able to escape the charge of being an accomplice. She would probably have to stay in Dali with her unlucky brother at the moment.
Waiting to die in the temple cell."
His tone was faint and somewhat regretful.
He immediately opened his eyes and smiled suddenly: "But that's fine. Let's ask her to see what happened to her brother first... It would be interesting for a little girl with such a hard-headed body and thorns to keep her and play with her slowly."
If someone like Chang Sunxuan dies too quickly, a lot of fun will be lost.
Ming Jin smiled and closed his eyes again. Now when he closed his eyes, he saw in front of him what the girl looked like when she was dying.
Every time he recalled that scene, he couldn't help but sigh - the eldest granddaughter who rejected his marriage proposal, scorned him, and thought she was noble in front of him, turned out to be as embarrassed and fearful as those ordinary maids when she died.
ah.
He admitted that he lost his mind due to the power of the drug at the time, and the sudden appearance of the other party made him a little impulsive.
Normally, he probably wouldn't have been able to kill someone directly, especially since the other person was still the legitimate daughter of the Changsun family.
But looking back now, he didn't feel regretful. Instead, he only felt unspeakable excitement and relief.
What's even more satisfying is that not only does he not have to bear any consequences, but Chang Sui'an is charged with murder!
Is there anything more pleasurable than this?
Ming Jin thought about it and couldn't help but laugh twice.
The laughter was not loud, but it was full of weirdness. It fell on the ears of the maid who was playing the piano, making her even more nervous and apprehensive.
Ever since she was injured at the Mid-Autumn Festival in Furong Garden, the Crown Prince's temperament has become more sinister than violent. He treats her lightly with punches and kicks, and he no longer treats her with the gentle words he once had. Recently, she even feels that
...The crown prince who used to dote on her now often looks at her with some kind of indescribable cold hatred in his eyes.
But why does the prince hate her? She clearly didn't do anything wrong.
While the maid was thinking wildly, she accidentally played a wrong note.
Sensing the cold gaze sweeping over her, the maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "...Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Ming Jin said "tsk" and looked at the shivering maid with interest.
"Guoshuang, why are you so afraid of me now?"
Ming Jin slowly stood up, his feet were bare, and he said with a smile: "You were the boldest one in the past. You even had some trouble with my prince and bit my ear."
He used to like the cute and bold little girl the most.
"Before, Sushuang was ignorant, but now she realizes her mistake..." The maid said in panic: "I beg you, please don't blame Sushuang."
Just two days ago, another maidservant who used to compete with her most for favors, after "serving" the prince, was carried back covered in blood, and hanged herself the next day.
There was no rival for favor, but she was not happy at all, but only fearful.
"How can I blame you? You are my favorite."
Ming Jin bent down and handed her a hand.
The maid tremblingly handed over her hand.
Ming Jin pulled her up and dragged her towards the couch.
The other servants in the room understood, bowed their heads and retreated, lowering the bamboo curtains.
"It's been a long time since I've had you serve me closely, but do you miss me, the Crown Prince?" Ming Jin asked with a smile.
The maid didn't dare not nod.
Ming Jin opened his arms: "Come, undress for me."
The maid suppressed the fear in her heart, gave a stiff smile, said "yes", and took off his coat first, then the undershirt, and then the trousers as usual.
But when she knelt in front of him and took off her pants, what she saw was no longer the same as before.
The maid's eyes changed and she retracted her hand in fright.
Didn’t the Crown Prince say...that he has been cured?!
She tried not to scream, but her reaction still angered the man.
Ming Jin kicked her.
Just as the maid was about to sit up, Ming Jin picked up the piano and hit her head and face hard.
"What, are you scared? Are you disgusted?"
"I feel disgusting... I feel that I am useless, don't you?"
"Speak, I want you to speak!"
"..."
Listening to the noise coming from the inner room, the servants guarding outside all turned pale.
Half an hour later, Guoshuang was also carried out.
Her body was covered in blood, and her face was cut with shocking cuts by the strings.
But her expression was numb.
She understood it. The moment she saw it, she understood it.
I understand why the prince always has hatred in his eyes when he looks at her now...
The more beautiful something he has no use for, the more he hates it.
The reason why he let her see it was to have a reason to torture her.
He is already crazy and will only get more crazy.
She also understood why the other tongfang was tortured like that, and why he chose to hang himself... because the same torture will never stop, except on the day they die.
What should she do?
Should we die as soon as possible and be liberated as soon as possible?
After being carried back, Guoshuang lay on the bed and let the maid treat her wounds. Big tears rolled down her despairing and dazed eyes.
After venting his anger, Ming Jin, who was almost exhausted, sat on the couch and panted, watching the servants quickly clean up the mess and blood stains in the room.
At this time, Ming Jin's personal servant came in from outside and nervously handed over a letter: "Prince... your letter."
Ming Jin raised his hand and took the letter out of the boy's hand, then opened it impatiently and read it.
Seeing what was written in the letter, he laughed sarcastically.
