Chapter 85: The Palace Mystery 7
When Xin Ran heard Gonggong Li say that Chen Ming killed Zhang Haishan, he immediately said loudly: "Impossible, it must be a mistake." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Young Master Xin, you can go and see for yourself. Gonggong Li said to Xin Ran.
Xin Ran saw Gonggong Chen say this, so he didn't argue with him anymore, and immediately went to the courtyard where Zhang Haishan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was held with Gonggong Chen.
When I walked into the room, I saw many people in the room, including Shi Miyuan, Chen Wenduan, Chen Ming and others.
Seeing Xin Ran coming in, Shi Miyuan said with a little schadenfreude: "Master Xin, your previous case of Bao Longtu, who was hand-picked by the Holy Lord, has not been completely clarified, but now that this Lord Zhang Haishan has not been formally convicted and killed by Chen Ming brought by you and Lord Chen, what do you say?"
As soon as Shi Miyuan's words fell, several confidants and cronies standing beside him also followed Shi Miyuan's words and said: "Yes, Xiangye's concern is reasonable, Xin Gongzi, what do you think can be done?"
Xin Ran knew that these people were deliberately saying this and wanted to see their jokes, so they didn't pay attention to it, but gave Shi Miyuan a salute and said, "Prime Minister, you said that Chen Ming killed Lord Zhang Haishan, do you have any evidence and physical evidence?"
"Absolutely. Shi Miyuan said to Xin Ran.
Xin Ran said: "Then please tell me your evidence." β
Shi Miyuan turned to Xia Zhen and said, "Lord Xia, you can tell Gongzi Xin about the situation found by your Imperial Forest Army, lest he think that we have wronged good people." β
I saw Xia Zhen's face colorful, and he bowed down and replied, "Respect the life of the Prime Minister." β
Then he went on to say to Xin Ran: "Xin Gongzi, this is the case, because there was a murder in the palace, and I, as an official in charge of the security of the palace, did not dare to slack off, so I often took the Imperial Forest Army to patrol around to ensure the safety of the Holy Lord in the palace. Zai Xia was very surprised, and without thinking too much, he immediately led the brothers of the Royal Forest Army to rush into the house, only to see Lord Chen's sister Chen Ming holding a bloody knife and was about to get up from the ground, while Lord Zhang Haishan was already lying on the ground. I immediately stepped forward to check, only to see that Zhang Haishan had a knife in his heart, and he had no breath. Xin Gongzi, you say let's see if Chen Ming was caught by us. β
Hearing what Xia Zhen said, Chen Ming, who was standing on the side, immediately said loudly: "Xia Zhen, you bastard, I think you just want to frame me, spurting blood." β
Xia Zhen saw that Chen Ming was scolding, and it was not easy to scold a woman, so he said to Chen Wenduan: Lord Chen, we are handling a case, Ling Mei is so rude, you are his brother, don't care. β
"It's so unbelievable, she dares to insult the court officials in public, so arrogant, I think she is the one who killed her. Shi Miyuan also continued.
When Chen Wenduan saw this plot, as Chen Ming's brother, he couldn't help but speak, so he said: "Prime Minister, Lord Xia, Sister She is still young, she didn't say anything, and she collided with the two, please forgive me, I am here to make amends for you." β
After finishing speaking, Chen Wenduan gave Shi Miyuan and Xia Zhen a deep salute each.
Seeing that Chen Wenduan finished speaking, Xin Ran also persuaded Chen Ming: "Fourth sister, don't worry, tell me what you see, I believe you are innocent." β
Chen Ming still listened to Xin Ran's words, so he said: "That's the case, I came to the courtyard where Lord Zhang Haishan lived from where I lived, and I saw two sergeants of the Royal Forest Army lying at the door of the house where Lord Zhang Haishan was being held. Seeing this situation, I was very surprised, so I immediately walked into the house, only to see that Lord Zhang Haishan was already lying in a pool of blood, I squatted down, and saw that Lord Zhang Haishan had no breath, at this time, I saw a dagger with blood next to him, so I picked it up, and wanted to take a closer look, who knows, at this time, Xia Zhen of the Royal Forest Army broke in, and as a result, he saw the scene he described. β
Speaking of this, Chen Ming couldn't help but turn around and scolded Xia Zhen: "You are a stupid person, if I killed it, I would still take the dagger and watch it slowly." β
Xia Zhen snorted and said, "That's not necessarily, maybe you saw us coming in, and you didn't have time to escape, so you deliberately pretended." β
"Okay, you all don't argue, let me see the scene. Xin Ran said.
After finishing speaking, Xin Ran squatted down and carefully looked at the shape of Zhang Haishan's wound, and saw that it was indeed stabbed by this bloody dagger, and then looked carefully at the bloodstains, it seemed that it had been congealed for a while, and it was about to turn black. I looked carefully at the blood stains on the dagger, and it was about to turn black.
After reading this, Xin Ran stood up and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the shape of the wound, Zhang Haishan was indeed stabbed by this dagger, but you see, the blood stains on the deceased and the dagger have turned black, which shows a problem, that is, the deceased has been dead for quite a while, and Chen Ming has not been in for a long time, if it was the person Chen Ming killed, then he should have escaped long ago, and naturally Lord Xia would not have found Chen Ming at the scene." β
"That's not necessarily, sometimes the blood clots quickly, sometimes slowly, I'm afraid that this alone can't rule out Chen Ming's suspicion. Shi Miyuan said.
Xin Ran said: "What the Prime Minister said has a certain amount of truth, but now it cannot be clearly judged that what Lord Xia said is what Chen Ming did, and all the opinions that are based on the following, this case has to be investigated in depth." β
"Yes, I think what Xin Gongzi said has some truth, this case is getting more and more complicated, and it involves the sister of Lord Chen Wenduan, so you really have to be cautious and not make a hasty decision. Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, said to everyone.
Shi Mi saw that even Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, spoke for Xin Ran, and this Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, is the prince favored by the saint today, and the relationship with himself is usually handled quite well, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, Chen Wenduan stood up again and said: "My lords, since this matter involves my sister, I will not hide it, before the facts of the case are clarified, I think Chen Ming will be detained first, and he will not be allowed to move around, and after the facts of the case are clarified, he will restore his freedom, what do you think?"
When everyone saw Chen Wenduan say this, they couldn't help but secretly admire Chen Wenduan's mind in their hearts, but because of Shi Miyuan's authority, everyone was silent for a while.
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Shi Mi Yuan smiled and said, "Since Lord Chen is so selfless, let's do what Lord Chen says." β
After finishing speaking, Shi Miyuan asked the Imperial Forest Army to watch Chen Ming.
