The civil and military generals who were standing neatly in the hall on both sides of the line whispered to their colleagues next to them at the moment, full of surprise and speculation, Qin Miaoren paid attention to the reactions of the people around him, and said: "The people's daughter didn't take this matter to heart, but after returning to the house, when my father asked the people's daughter what she saw and heard in the palace, she casually said it." My father was cautious by nature, so he asked the little guy around him to rush back to Jingxian overnight to see if the evidence was still there. And on the second day, he entered the palace and asked the six princes for the inkstone, presumably the monarch had an impression of this matter. ”

Emperor Xuwen nodded and said, "That's right, I still have an impression of this matter. Qin Zhengxian was the person I personally appointed as the prince's teacher, and it is understandable for the prince to worship the master, but the strange thing is that Qin Zhengxian seems to have deliberately asked the sixth child for this inkstone by name, and the sixth seemed to hesitate at that time, but finally gave this thing to Qin Zhengxian. ”

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince hesitated because this thing was a gift from the Fourth Prince. But in the end, at the insistence of my father, I gave it to my father. "Such a cheeky approach, maybe there is only one person in the world, but it also shows that Qin Zhengxian is unruly and upright." Therefore, in her father's study, the folk girl saw the Guishan inkstone in the hands of the six princes before. ”

Qin Miaoren did not have the slightest timidity in front of the civil and military officials, and told the truth directly like a priest who listened to the heavens. There was silence in the hall for a while, and Emperor Xuwen seemed to be able to guess what happened later, and said in a deep voice: "You speak quickly." ”

"Yes." Qin Miaoren said in a deep voice, "The folk girl Xue Wan used a golden hairpin to draw some powder from the cracks in the inkstone, and after dissolving it, she found a rabbit to feed it, but after a breath, the rabbit died." ”

When the civil and military officials of the dynasty, which one of them was not trained from the bloody wind and rain, however, at this time, when he heard all this expounded by Qin Miaoren, he was all moved, and the things that can be explained in this are not only about Qin Zhengxian's intention to save the lives of the six princes. If the Confucian King was in the hall at this time, would he have come up with any reason to defend himself? It's a pity that he is not here at this time, and no one dares to rush to the wind to cover him.

And on Emperor Xuwen's rapidly aging face for more than a year, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be even more profound.

"However, what happened next must have made it even more difficult for you to imagine." Qin Miao's words were unambiguous: "Less than two hours after this incident happened, the Confucian King suddenly led a large team of men and horses to raid the Qin Mansion, and personally found a letter with Cheng Guogong in his father's study. ”

Qin Miaoren's words are quite accurate, and 'take the lead' and 'find it in person' explain what she wants to express: "Although the folk girl is young, she has also developed a little bit of her father's caution, and she faintly felt that something was wrong at the moment, so she hid the inkstone. So much so that after the Qin Mansion was thoroughly confiscated, this 'evidence' could still be retained. ”

From the brocade box she brought from the side, she wrapped it in a white cloth and dragged up the Guishan inkstone. "Your Excellency, please see."

Everyone looked at her hand, and saw that the inkstone was red and yellow, covered with gold spots, vertical and horizontal silver lines, because it contained iron, mud, and there were scattered broken lines around the edges and corners, but because of the exquisite and delicate carving, the flaws were completely covered, and the value of this inkstone was not affected at all. Quan Heng carefully held it and brought it to Emperor Xuwen for him to watch. Seeing this, Qin Miaoren said: "It is among these flaws that are covered by the exquisite carvings that some highly toxic powder is solidified in them, making it difficult for people to notice. ”

Qin Miaoren said this, and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xuwen, "The people are grateful for the kindness of the king, except for her father, the rest of the Qin family is just a border soldier." In order to leave the life of the people's daughter, she has the opportunity to clear her father's grievances. Qin Miaoren knew in his heart that Emperor Xuwen had cultivated Qin Zhengxian for many years, how could he easily believe that he had colluded with Cheng Guogong, but the evidence at that time was conclusive, and there was no room for refuge. can only kill Qin Zhengxian, leaving the lives of the rest of the Qin clan to be sent far away.

"But the king's mercy did not prevent the traitor from being killed." Qin Miaoren suddenly changed his words, "The person who murdered the life of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, in order to prevent future troubles, was killed one after another after the Qin family escorted him out of Beijing. ”

"You mean that all the people of the Qin clan have been killed after being assigned to the border guards?" Emperor Xuwen looked at His Highness's ministers with cold eyes, "Why have I never heard of this!" ”

At this time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward and replied resignedly: "Your Majesty, in the case of Chengguo Gong back then, after all the criminals were handed over, the file was handed over to His Royal Highness the Confucian King. So...... So...... The ministers have not received any news......"

"Now go and transfer the file immediately, and after verifying it, come and report to me!" Emperor Xuwen snorted coldly and looked at Qin Miaoren: "As you said, that letter in the Qin Mansion is fake?" What evidence do you have? ”

Li Weiqing, who had been standing aside and watching silently, said at the right time: "The minister has taken out this physical evidence. "Now present it to Emperor Xuwen for inspection. Emperor Xuwen looked at it and handed it to Qin Miaoren.

Qin Miaoren opened the letter, did not mess up at all, pointed to the black and white words and said: "This letter is indeed a letter written by the criminal minister Cheng Guogong to Qin Zhengxian, the father of the people's daughter. ”

"Huh? What the? Someone exclaimed in surprise to show his bewilderment.

Indeed, if this letter was indeed written by Cheng Guogong to Qin Zhengxian, wouldn't it be conclusive material evidence of the canon, Qin Miaoren said this, wouldn't it be in vain to prove that the Confucian King had bad intentions?

Facing the puzzled eyes of others, Qin Miaoren smiled and said, "The letter is indeed written by Cheng Guogong himself, but I'm afraid this is Cheng Guogong talking to himself." ”

Everyone was even more confused when they heard this, Yan Yu Shi Tiezui had always been unforgiving, and said: "Little girl, if you want to avenge your father, you have to come up with tangible evidence. ”

"My lord, please listen to what the people say." Qin Miaoren frowned, and her face showed a bit of sarcasm: "Dare to ask this adult, suppose that a murderer who has a heinous crime with blood on his hands, when he doesn't want to die, someone puts a knife on his neck and forces him to write a letter to frame a person who has nothing to do with him, do you say, will he agree?" ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Yushi glanced at her, thought carefully about Qin Miaoren's words, and seemed to understand the intention of her words.

Qin Miaoren snorted coldly: "A piece of physical evidence, no matter how true it is, is fake after all. The man who wanted to frame the life of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, in order to hide the truth, wanted to kill his father. On the last night before Cheng Guogong was executed, he was forced to write this letter. ”

It is said that Cheng Guogong secretly replaced his important family children with servants and sent them out of Beijing, and almost escaped overseas by boat. Since he has made such thorough preparations, it means that he did not tie his hands and die at all. But on the day of his execution, he found himself in the house. That's completely contrary to his intentions, isn't it? ”

"I heard that there was a joke about it. Cheng Guogong committed suicide by taking poison, but there was a long blood mark on his neck. After this incident spread, some people laughed and said that Cheng Guogong didn't have the courage to kill his neck, so he gave up after trying it, and chose to commit suicide by taking poison, which is really a bad seed. Qin Miaoren looked around and glanced at the people around him who were thinking carefully. I'm sure all of you here remember this anecdote. ”

Everyone present looked at each other and stopped talking. If the case of 'Guishan Yan Sudden Poison' mentioned earlier cannot be said to mean that King Confucianism is the murderer. But the case of Cheng Guogong was connected......

"From beginning to end, there is only this letter written by Chengguo Gong himself, so how did the Confucian prince confirm that his father was in collusion with Chengguo Gong on the premise of searching Chengguo Mansion and seeing his father's letters? Does anyone have a high density? Why did the high-secret person not show up from beginning to end and the verdict was made? Qin Miaoren slammed the letter in his hand to the ground, and there was no fear in his eyes: "Some people may say that Chengguo Gong is cautious by nature and burned his father's reply, but is his father a fool?" Keeping letters of rebellion and collusion with rebellious ministers are placed in the study? So much so that the Confucian prince easily turned around in the study and found evidence? ”

Qin Miaoren looked at the courtiers who were silent, and said, "What a Confucian prince, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old back then, had such a scheming plan. Perhaps it was because the matter was too hasty, and the Confucian prince did not find a credible person, so he personally 'searched' the evidence. Qin Miaoren bit the word 'search' fiercely and smiled maliciously.

How many people can force Cheng Guogong to fabricate 'evidence' in person?

......The power in the hands of the Confucian King has been handed over to the ministries, and the people who went to transfer the dossier soon returned: "Back to the king, most of the Qin family members marked in the dossier died of violent illness or accident......

Is it useful for him to say more? After seeing the king's face, he immediately closed his mouth and stepped aside.

Qin Miaoren also stopped talking at this time. Qin Zhengxian lived as Qin Miaoren's uncle, which also shows that Emperor Xuwen is not confused. He may not have known the truth back then, but after all, King Confucianism was also his very outstanding son, and the six princes were not really harmed, Emperor Xuwen wanted to give King Confucianism a chance, and he could only wronged Qin Zhengxian incognito, otherwise Qin Zhengxian would not be able to steal and change pillars under the noses of Emperor Xuwen and hundreds of civil and military officials, and escape.

Qin Miaoren deliberately avoided this, leaving a trace of leeway for Emperor Xuwen. Her afterglow could just see the corners of Li Weiqing's snow-white clothes. For this man who has been misunderstood by her for many years, it has been deeply imprinted in her heart during the period of helping her analyze the old case.

Unfortunately, he already has a beloved wife and several smart children. Where would there be a place for her next to him? Sometimes she can't help but wonder if she really has something to do with him on the way back to Beijing, will she be able to stay with him in the future?

She laughed at herself and stopped her cranky thoughts, hoping that in the next life, she would meet such a man before others.
