Chapter 138
It's just that Mu Ran just nodded lightly at this time, and then continued, "Lord Li's question is a good question, if you want to know when a person died, you only need to measure their liver temperature, and if you are all present who have doubts about this, you can ask the other gentlemen in Yuecheng." When Mu Ran said this, he was stunned, but seeing that the people present were all convinced, he calmed down and continued to say calmly, " It's just like the Red Lotus girl had a fever, and when she died, the liver temperature was already much higher than the normal temperature, and the measured time of death was also delayed by at least two hours, and the time of death of the Red Lotus girl that was inferred before was two hours later, it was enough to see that Rong Gongzi was still in Ning Wangfu at that time, and Ning Wang Ye could testify, if this was the case, just because he appeared next to the deceased the next morning could not explain anything, on the contrary, if Rong Gongzi was really a murderer, he was naturally not stupid enough to stay by the side of the Red Lotus girl until he was discovered!”
Mu Ran's expression has been extremely calm when he said these words, and whether it was the people present or the people who were watching, listening to what Mu Ran said, they all nodded their heads, obviously believing Mu Ran's words, and Mu Ran looked around, only then calmed down a little, calmed down, and smiled lightly, but when her eyes fell on the body of the prince Xiao Lei, who was sitting motionless, what she saw was only a gloomy face, even so, Mu Ran was not flustered, she didn't care what the prince's conspiracy was, her words were seamless, in short, as long as Rong Chen got innocent, other things, Naturally it has nothing to do with her, as soon as she thought of this, Mu Ran didn't dodge, but dared to meet the prince's eyes, and the prince looked at Mu Ran like this, but he just hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, such a gloomy face, coupled with such a strange smile, no matter who looked at it, I am afraid it would be chilling, and Mu Ran was naturally no exception, her heart trembled, but she quickly turned her eyes.
And Master Li listened to what Mu Ran said, a flustered heart finally calmed down, and his face that had been aggrieved for a long time finally showed a few joyful expressions, especially when Rong Chen cleared his suspicion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the shocking wood in his hand slapped again, that is, he said, "In this case, since everything is a misunderstanding, Rong Chen Rong Gongzi is not guilty......"
It's just that the county master's words haven't been finished yet, Xiao Lei naturally won't watch this matter end like this, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his eyes, but looking at Mu Ran's eyes, there is a slight expression of gritted teeth, especially after helping Rong Chen get rid of his crimes, he suddenly said in a deep voice, " Just based on this one-sided words of Brother Jin, how can it be proved that the Red Lotus girl was infected with the wind and cold before, this matter is very important, please think twice, otherwise it will not be beneficial to anyone to take people's lives!" Xiao Lei said this sentence word by word, and fell into the ears of the county master, it was clearly a merciless warning, a pair of legs were so straight to tremble, the county master didn't know what was good for a while, he could only lower his head, and he didn't dare to look at the prince, but his eyes for help fell on Mu Ran's body, although his face was silent, but his eyes were full of help for help.
It's just that Mu Ran is still calm, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of the prince beside her, even when facing such a dark-eyed prince, she only smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but when Brother Jin heard the prince's words, he suddenly knelt down in front of the prince, kowtowed a few times, and said in a trembling voice, "Prince Mingjian, the villain wants to be honest, whether it is the boss or the shopkeeper, you can testify for the villain, but the villain has never told a lie!"
As soon as Brother Jin said this, the surroundings seemed to be noisy again, but if you listen carefully, one by one is helping Brother Jin to speak, Yuecheng is not big, if there is any wind and grass, I am afraid that a city already knows, Brother Jin is honest, it is a well-known thing in Yuecheng, and now although the prince suspects him, but all of them are gossiping, obviously not believing that Brother Jin will lie, not to mention, since Rong Chen was wronged last time, the people suddenly felt that if Rong Chen was unlucky, it was impossible to be wronged this time。
"If the prince is really suspicious, just like Mu Ran said before, the doctor in Yuecheng is not Mu Ran alone, and there are many people who are smart at autopsy, and now the body of the red lotus girl is in the freezer and has not yet been hidden. Mu Ran still said these words in a flat tone, and looked at Xiao Lei with a smile after finishing speaking, but Xiao Lei's face was still gloomy, and he didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and walked away.
"That being the case. When the county prince saw that the prince had left, he breathed a sigh of relief, coughed lightly, and only said in a deep voice, "Since Prince Rong Chen is innocent, he will be acquitted!"
"Wait a minute!" Who knew that Mu Ran looked at the back of the prince who left indifferently, but suddenly said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Li, Rong Chen is innocent, but he was tortured, should he give him an explanation for this matter?" Now that Rong Chen's innocence has been proven, maybe it's time to get justice for Rong Chen, Mu Ran said this expressionlessly, listening to the sound of gasping all around, there were already many onlookers who were afraid of causing some trouble, and they had already left, and the prince's footsteps paused, and when he slowly turned around, the expression on his face was not smiling, "This matter should be asked to the prince and Lord Li, the matter of imprisoning Rong Gongzi has nothing to do with this king!"
At this time, Xiao Lei also wants to clear up the relationship, although the expression on Mu Ran's face is still flat, but there are ripples in his eyes, from beginning to end, Mu Ran didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and bowed slightly at Xiao Lei, watching his figure disappear from his sight.
When it was time to leave the hall, Chi Bi was puzzled, "Could it be that the one who locked up Rong Chen before was really not the prince, why is he still so calm?"
"Now that the matter has been revealed, the people related to Rong Chen, he naturally wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Mu Ran's voice was faint, as if he had expected Xiao Lei to do this, and when a few people were still discussing in the inn near the Yamen, it was at this time that Zhanyun hurriedly came, and sure enough, it was just like what Mu Ran said, sure enough, the guards who guarded Rong Chen before all died innocently, leaving no one alive.
Chi Bi's expression suddenly became complicated, and he didn't know what was hidden in his eyes, Mu Ran glanced at Chi Bi lightly, and then said, "Now that Rong Chen's matter has been resolved, let's go back to the prince's mansion, after all, in Yuecheng now, I'm afraid only the prince's mansion is safe." ”
Mu Ran said it was not unreasonable, but Chi Bi smiled bitterly and shook her head again, "I'm afraid it won't work, Mu Ran, some things haven't been resolved, I want to continue to stay in the yamen, only when I get close to the prince, can I know the truth of the matter." ”
"You mean the death of the county lord?" Mu Ran couldn't see what Chi Bi was thinking, at that moment, she seemed to hesitate, but she still said, "This matter, after all, is not as simple as we thought, not to mention, now that no one believes in the ladder, if you continue to stay in the yamen, I am afraid it will be dangerous." ”
Mu Ran's voice was deep, and he was definitely not scaring Chi Bi.
Chi Bi seemed to pause, but she still laughed lightly, Mu Ran said, she understood, but some things, in her heart, have always been a knot, for example, recently she has been circulating a dim dream, in the dream, she seems to be pushed into the bottomless abyss by someone, that feeling is so real, cold and desperate wrapped her layer by layer, but she can't see who is pushing her, such a real dream has troubled her for a long time, making Chi Bi feel more and more that there must be something between herself and the county lord。
And Chi Bi also knew in her heart that if she couldn't solve this matter, she could only be bound by this dream forever and couldn't escape, and now, whether to stay in the yamen or not was no longer something she could decide.
In the yamen, when Xiao Lei saw Chi Bi, he was obviously very surprised, but in an instant, he looked at her with interest, his eyes were full of playfulness, and he said lightly, "Miss Chi Bi doesn't want to follow Uncle Ning Huang back to Ning Wang's Mansion, stay here, I'm afraid it's a worry for your life?" Although he said this with a smile, but the coldness in his words was self-evident, although Chi Bi said that his heart trembled, and he didn't even dare to look directly into Xiao Lei's eyes, he still only smiled and said, " I'm afraid the prince misunderstood, it was just Prince Ning's one-sided words before, Chi Bi naturally chose to follow the prince, and naturally he would not regret his decision. ”
"Really?" However, he didn't know whether Xiao Lei believed Chi Bi's words, he just looked at her suspiciously, but he didn't say anything, just passed by Chi Bi and disappeared from her sight, and Chi Bi looked stunned, obviously not yet reacting, until the cold aura belonging to Xiao Lei's body gradually faded out of the tip of her nose, she finally stroked her chest, looking frightened.
It's just that Xiao Lei didn't take a few steps, but his footsteps slowly stopped, at this moment, in front of his eyes, but for some reason, there was a slender figure standing, but half a mask covered his face, and he couldn't see what it looked like, and Xiao Lei frowned, just looked at the young man in front of him like this, and only said coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Me?" Who knew that the man showed an evil smile, even his voice couldn't help but carry a little evil spirit, listening to the indifference in Xiao Lei's words, but he still didn't care, just said, "Why, don't say that you don't seem to want to see me." After the man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Lei to react, he was already walking towards him slowly, but Xiao Lei was still standing still, and the expression on his face became complicated, but it didn't stop the man who was walking towards him, and the man approached Xiao Lei, the smile deepened, and finally stopped when he was one step away from Xiao Lei, but the voice was not as evil as Fang Cai, but it was extremely indifferent, and there was no expression on his face," I'm afraid that your good days in Yuecheng are coming to an end, and the emperor's edict is already on the way, and it won't be long before it falls into the hands of you and Prince Ning. ”
"It's not just me, but the old man has also been recalled?" Xiao Lei said this, and he didn't know what he remembered, but he sneered, "How can I go back now, the person hasn't been found yet, what is the urgency of the old immortal, isn't his body healthy, where will he die so early, how can the holy decree be so anxious?!" Xiao Lei naturally doesn't work, but the emperor's meaning, he has never seen through it, the so-called ginger is still old and spicy, I'm afraid this is the truth, Xiao Lei thought about it, and couldn't help frowning again, and his eyes became deep.
"You don't have to look for the person you are looking for. It's just that the masked man looked at Xiao Lei like this, but he showed a sarcastic smile, the corners of his mouth turned into a sharp arc, and the words he said were more like a sharp blade, "Don't you all know, the person is dead, and now even the ashes are nowhere to be found, I'm afraid you are paying tribute in vain." Actually, I really don't understand, the two major forces of the imperial court, in Yuecheng for so long, can't even deal with such a small matter, no wonder, the emperor will not worry about handing over the throne to you, naturally, a stupid person, how to govern the country?"
"If it weren't for the fact that there have been so many things in Yuecheng recently, if it weren't for the fact that this king was stumped, how could he have delayed this matter again and again. Xiao Lei's voice was gloomy and hoarse, he was very dissatisfied with the unconcealed man in front of him, but he didn't do anything to him, just looked at him coldly, although his eyes were full of cold murderous aura, but then he laughed loudly, and smashed his fist on the pillar beside him, and his words couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this moment, "Great, this king wants to take a look, now that there is no such bargaining chip, this old horseman, how to fight with this king!"
