Chapter 220: Decision
"The time of the Red Lotus girl's death was after Rong Gongzi came out of King Ning's mansion, so it was determined that Rong Gongzi was the one who murdered the Red Lotus girl, but if the Red Lotus girl had a fever before she died, I'm afraid things won't be so simple." When Mu Ran said this, a pair of clear and bright eyes met the puzzled look of the county master.
Sure enough, the county master didn't understand what Mu Ran said, not only the county master, but most people didn't know what Mu Ran was saying this for, so the county master just asked without thinking at this time, "What does Miss Mu Ran mean by this, the official is ignorant and doesn't understand it!" Anyway, a pair of eyes groped for the body of the prince Xiao Lei, who was having a gloomy face, and when he met his gloomy face, he couldn't help but shudder, wondering if what he had just said was wrong.
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, which was enough to see that Rong Gongzi was still in King Ning's mansion at that time, and Prince Ning could testify, if this is the case, Just because he appeared next to the deceased the next morning couldn't say anything, on the contrary, if Rong Gongzi was really a murderer. Naturally, he was not stupid enough to stay by the side of the Red Lotus girl until he was discovered, and when he thought about it, it must have been Rong Gongzi who was framed. That's how it goes! ”
Mu Ran's expression was incomparably calm when he said these words, regardless of the people present. The people who were still onlookers, listening to what Mu Ran said, all nodded their heads, obviously believing Mu Ran's words, and Mu Ran looked around, and then calmed down a little and calmed down. smiled lightly again, but when her eyes fell on the body of the prince Xiao Lei, who was sitting motionless, she saw only a gloomy face, even so. Mu Ran didn't panic, she didn't care what the prince's conspiracy was, her words were seamless, in short, as long as Rong Chen got his innocence, other things. Naturally, it has nothing to do with her, as soon as she thought of this, Mu Ran did not dodge, but dared to meet the prince's eyes, and the prince looked at Mu Ran like this. But she just hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, such a gloomy face, coupled with such a strange smile, no matter who looked at it, I am afraid that she would feel shuddering, 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 gnashing of 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 also ask Master Li to think twice, otherwise you will lose your life, It's not good for anyone! 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 and trembling, 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 still looks calm, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of the prince beside her at all, even when facing such a dark-eyed prince, she just smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but as soon as 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, as soon as there is any wind and grass, I am afraid that a city already knows, Brother Jin is honest, it was originally a well-known thing in Yuecheng, and now although the prince suspects him, but one by one he is gossiping, obviously he doesn't believe that Brother Jin will lie, not to mention, since he wronged Rong Chen last time, the people suddenly felt that if Rong Chen was unlucky, It is 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 ice vault and has not yet been hidden, whether there is a wind chill or not, you will know it in one test." Mu Ran still said these words in a flat tone, and looked at Xiao Lei with a smile after speaking, but Xiao Lei still had a gloomy face, and he didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and walked away.
"In that case." When the county prince saw the prince leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief, coughed lightly, and only said in a deep voice, "Since the prince of 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 any 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 he retreated, Chi Bi was puzzled, "Could it be that the one who held 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?" How could Mu Ran not be able to 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 think, 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 the bottom of 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, 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, There must be something between himself 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.
