Lin Xiao arrived at the palace gate and saw a petite figure wearing a Taoist robe standing in front of the white marble railing from a distance.
Lin Xiao hurriedly slowed down his pace and calmly adjusted his breath. This was the first time she came to see him. He was a little surprised, but more of an indescribable joy. Although he tried his best to hide it, some traces of it showed on his face.
When the city gate guards saw Lin Xiao walking by with a cheerful look on his face, they couldn't help but look at each other strangely. This Commander Lin was famous for his seriousness of speech. This smile was like ice and snow melting. Although it was beautiful, it was also a bit incomprehensible. mind.
Qin Yao was looking curiously at the solemn guards and the majestic palace walls with her hands behind her back. When she saw Lin Xiao coming out, she hurriedly went up to greet him and said, "Your Majesty."
Lin Xiao quickly looked at her and saw that she was still wearing the blue-grey robe, with black hair tied at the top, revealing a section of snow-white and delicate neck. She was undoubtedly beautiful, and what was even more rare was that she was clean and refreshing. It's a pity that my face is still fairer than rosy.
Since the first time he saw her, Lin Xiao had speculated whether she had a congenital defect, but unfortunately he never found a chance to ask her. He vaguely felt that this might be related to her becoming a Taoist priest.
As the two approached, Lin Xiao asked, "Ayao, what's the matter?"
Qin Yao bowed to Lin Xiao seriously, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry to disturb you, but do you still remember the young lady who sat next to you in Donglaiju and toasted you that day?"
Lin Xiao was startled for a moment, then felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that she had really seen it. The prince and seventh brother were indispensable for the company of beauties whenever they drank, and that day was no exception. At that time, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the door. I thought it was an illusion, but I never thought it was really her.
He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little annoyed. Would she regard him as a frivolous person because of this?
After a moment of silence, he said: "I remember there was such a person at that time, but I never paid too much attention to him."
This is the truth. He never liked teasing Feng Yue, and had little interest in these Yingying Yanyan. How could he pay special attention to a concubine who was accompanying the wine?
"Oh." Qin Yao's face showed a look of disappointment, "That woman died in Pingkangfang yesterday. Her adoptive mother insisted that my brother's classmate was the murderer. Now the eldest brother has been imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison."
Lin Xiao was startled: "Is there such a thing?"
Qin Yao nodded: "The strange thing is that the woman had her eyes gouged out when she died, but she didn't have any resentment at all. I always feel that there is something weird in this." She looked up at Lin Xiao, considered it for a while, and said hesitantly, "Can you Please do me a favor, Your Majesty, and take me and Master to inspect the woman¡¯s body.¡±
She was not used to asking for help, so her tone softened unconsciously when she spoke.
It¡¯s not an embarrassing thing, not to mention that this is the first time she asked him for help. Lin Xiao immediately nodded and said: ¡°Whenever you go to check, I will make arrangements myself.¡±
Qinyao was so surprised that she agreed so happily without even frowning?
She couldn't hide her excitement and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, then I will thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Xiao didn't really want to hear the word "thank you" from her mouth. After being silent for a long time, he said again: "I'll go make arrangements with someone right now. When the arrangements are made, I will take you there." , where are you waiting for news?"
"I will go back to Qingyun Temple to pick up Master. I will be back in the city in about an hour. Then I will go directly to the outside of Dali Temple to wait for news about the prince."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Wang Yikun was not imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison, but was temporarily imprisoned in Yushitai.
He is now Huiyuan Jidi, a disciple of the Emperor. As long as he is not convicted for a day, he cannot be locked up with ordinary criminals.
The Wang family has been officials for generations and is full of nobles. The king's father is currently the Minister of Household Affairs and is an important minister in the court. After Qu Ziyu and Feng Boyu went to the palace to deliver the letter, although he was frightened and angry, he could not immediately order his son to be killed openly. Release it so that it will not be confirmed.
After much deliberation, he still asked people to keep his son in the Yushitai, where he could eat and drink well and take care of him.
The woman had a strong mouth and insisted that it was Wang Yikun who killed her adopted daughter. Since this dynasty respected "guilt must be punished by confession", even if she could not produce more evidence, the censors had to follow the procedure to go to court for trial. case.
First, the suspect defends himself.
Wang Yikun has grown up smoothly, and this is the first time he has encountered such an inexplicable matter. But after just one night, his honest and honest face became quite haggard.
He recalled: "Yesterday, I went out to drink with a group of classmates from Chaozhao Hall. We passed by a restaurant called Weiranju. After entering the restaurant and ordering food and drinks, I got up and went to the toilet. Who knew that although the restaurant looked spacious, it had clean rooms. But it was located on the second floor. After using the restroom, I met the proprietress in the corridor. She just said she would take me back to the dining room.Then I walked into a closed room. It was getting dark at that time, but the lights on the second floor were not lit. Before I could discern my direction, the landlady pushed me into the room for no apparent reason and locked the door. I hurriedly knocked on the door and called for help. After a while, the door finally opened, but the landlady and several waiters blocked me in the room, shouting that I had killed someone. Only then did I notice a woman lying on the floor in the room. "
He raised his head full of resentment: "Lord Zhongcheng, I have never met that woman, and no one even knows her name. Why did you want to murder her? It was clearly the boss's wife who had harmed others first and deliberately framed the blame on me! "
His father, Wang Weiting, sat behind the curtain and listened. He was almost furious with his son. It was a waste that his son, after studying for so many years, had no sense of guard against others. He was tricked by a market woman so easily.
Next, Qu Ziyu and Feng Boyu came to the court to testify. Both of them were clear and handsome, and they spoke clearly. In just a few words, they recreated the situation that day and proved that Wang Yikun went to the restaurant with them. , there was not even time to commit the crime, how could there be any mention of murder?
The proprietress Wen Niang's statement was completely opposite to theirs: "Young Master Wang has known our My Lady for a long time. Because he coveted My Lady's beauty, he has been entangled with her many times. My Lady dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Every time she met our Young Master Wang, , I tried to avoid him whenever I could, but when I couldn't avoid it, I had the patience to give him a few perfunctory words. That day, Yao Niang felt that she was not feeling well when she got up early that day. It was still early, so she didn't bother to go back to the backyard for a while, and only rested upstairs. . In the evening, Mr. Wang brought some friends to drink. I heard that My Lady was on the second floor, so I went to the toilet to find her. I overheard the sound of entanglement coming from the room. I was afraid of Mr. Wang¡¯s power. I had no choice but to stand guard outside the door, but then I heard something really wrong. I was afraid that something might happen to Yao Niang, so I had the courage to lead someone to kick open the door. Unexpectedly, when I entered, I saw" She said with red eyes and twitching. He started crying and said, "I saw my beautiful girl lying on the ground, breathless. Dear adults, my beautiful girl has grown up in front of me since she was a child. She is a well-behaved and sensible person. Now she is as beautiful as a flower and she is not married yet." She died so miserably, you must avenge her!"
Wang Yikun opened his mouth wide. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? He forgot his anger for a moment and choked for a long time. Then she was so angry that she pointed at Wen Niang and said, "Youyouhow could you"
Wen Niang didn¡¯t look at Wang Yikun, she just covered her eyes with a handkerchief, shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly and sobbed.
Qu Ziyu and Feng Boyu listened on the sidelines and looked at Wen Niang in confusion. Such a rhetoric was full of loopholes. As long as they surveyed the scene a little, they would immediately see through her lies. She would not be so stupid as to lift a stone. Smash yourself in the foot?
Wang Weiting behind the curtain thought deeper than Feng Qu. He had been immersed in the officialdom for many years. Although he had many allies, he also had many enemies in the dark. Such an obvious frame-up and such a simple trap, what the other party planned Why? Could it be that instead of trying to frame his son, he actually came after him? Thinking of this, his face became a little gloomier.
At this time, an old woman came into the hall, bowed to the censor Zhongcheng in a familiar manner, bowed her head and said: "I have checked clearly, Yao Niang is still a virgin."
Qu Ziyu, Feng Boyu and others were uninvited and felt a little uncomfortable after hearing these words. However, Wen Niang seemed to be extremely shocked. She raised her head and said in a low voice: "Impossible!" Mouth lowered his head.
The old woman ignored him and waited for Mr. Zhongcheng to reply.
Censor Zhongcheng nodded and ordered the old woman to go down.
He also invited a widower into the hall and asked, "Now that the autopsy has been completed, why did the woman die?"
Wuzuo said: "To tell you the truth, someone grabbed my throat and suffocated me to death."
¡°Are there any other wounds on the body?¡±
"Yes." Wuzuo hesitated, "The eyes of the corpse were dug out before death."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked. Everyone thought that Yao Niang¡¯s eyes were dug out after death, but they didn¡¯t expect that they were dug out before death! How cruel and bloody, just thinking about it makes people shudder.
When Wen Niang heard this, she sobbed and cried again.
"Do you have any evidence?" Yushitai asked Wuzuo in surprise.
"The villain has examined corpses whose eyes were dug out after death. If the eyes were dug out after death, because the blood flow in the corpse is stagnant, there will not be too much blood loss when the eyes are dug out, and the face of the corpse is usually clean. Although the face of the corpse delivered yesterday had been deliberately scrubbed, the hair on the temples was covered with dried blood, and the complexion was extremely withered. It was obvious that it had suffered heavy bleeding before death, so the villain concluded that it was dug up before death. Both eyes.¡±
Censor Zhongcheng stroked his beard and asked the officials who went to the scene for the autopsy that day: "When you went to Weiranju to inspect the body, was there a lot of blood around the body?"
