Chapter Ninety-Three: Pleading Guilty and Imprisoned
Mu Yunmo came out of the palace and found that Mu Yan was no longer at the gate of the palace, and wondered in his heart that it was impossible for him not to wait for him, could it be that something was wrong? After looking around again, there was no sign of him, so he had to go home first. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiayang Jinglin was about to fall asleep, but he heard the little eunuch next to him spread that Meng Zheng, the imperial historian of the city patrol, asked to see him in the front hall of his Guangyang Palace.
He wondered why Meng Zheng had entered the palace to ask for a meeting so late, and he heard the news that the eunuch said that he was accompanied by Wei Chixin.
What made Xin enter the palace with him? Jing Lin thought that it must be something important, so he put on his coat and hurried out of the dormitory, and walked to the front hall.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiayang Jinglin looked at Wei Chixin, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and Meng Zheng, who was half-kneeling and saluting next to him, and frowned.
Meng Zheng raised his head and told Jiayang Jinglin about the general course of the matter: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, when the minister was patrolling today, a man who looked like an ordinary person suddenly came to me and told me that someone had killed someone in the pavilion not far away, and then I rushed to the pavilion, and then I saw the dead Ning Wanyou and the manager of Wei Chixin on the side. ”
Seeing this, Meng Zheng was puzzled but also believed that it would not be Wei Chixin's doing, who would have thought that at this time Wei Chixin said to him: "Meng Zheng, everything is done by me, I have nothing to argue, arrest me." ”
This made Meng Zheng difficult, although it was natural to arrest the perpetrator, but he was sure that there was absolutely something strange about it, and the person in front of him was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and his identity was not the same, so he had no choice but to take him into the palace first, and the emperor occasionally felt cold in the past two days, so late Meng Zheng naturally did not dare to disturb, so he had to find someone to pass on the prince and beg him to show him.
"This Ning Wanyou is the famous dancing girl?" Jing Lin realizes that the identity of the dead man is not as simple as a civilian.
"Back to Your Highness, exactly."
Jinglin has always understood Wei Chixin as a person, so he naturally didn't believe that he would kill this Ning Wanyou, so he turned his eyes to Wei Chixin, who had been silent since he came in: "Believe, can anyone prove that you were not present when Ning Wanyou died?" ”
"Nope." Wei Chixin replied to Jinglin almost without thinking.
Wei Chi was clear in his confidence: from the note written by pretending to be Xuan Yue, the killed Ning Wanyou found next to the gazebo, the pearl necklace in Ning Wanyou's hand, including the sudden appearance of Meng Zheng...... All of this is a trap, in order to frame himself and kill Ning Wanyou, Meng Zheng, who is the imperial history of the city, arrived so quickly, seeing that he was the only one next to the corpse, he himself was speechless, and the person who set up the bureau must know that he cares about Xuan Yue, and putting the hairpin next to Ning Wanyou's hand is to warn himself that if he resists and defends, the matter may involve Xuan Yue, and he has no choice but to enter the game obediently......
"So, what do you have to argue? Why were you there at the time? ”
"The minister has nothing to say." Wei Chixin kept his head down.
Surprised by Wei Chixin's abnormal attitude, Jiayang Jinglin didn't say anything, was silent for a moment, raised his head and said to Meng Zheng: "In this case, put Wei Chixin in a secret prison and wait for his fate." ”
"Your Highness, this ......" Meng Zheng obviously didn't expect that Jing Lin would really detain Yu Chixin, he looked at Jing Lin hesitantly, but found that there was no hesitation in his eyes, Meng Zheng had no choice but to take orders, and then escorted Yu Chixin out of the hall.
"Go, someone will bring the sound of Miyin into the palace." When Meng Zheng and Wei Chixin left, Jinglin instructed the little eunuch beside him.
Miyin entered the palace overnight, and after seeing the crown prince Jinglin, he listened to him recount what happened not long ago.
"Your Highness, do you really think that Lord Wei Chi did it?"
"Of course it won't be faith."
"Forgive him for being stupid, so why did you put him in a secret prison?"
"I understand that Wei Chixin is a person, if this matter was really done by him, he would have admitted it directly just now, and he did not admit it but did not deny it, which shows that there must be something strange in this. Just now Meng Zheng said that someone ran to tell him that someone had killed someone in the pavilion, and I guessed that maybe someone framed Wei Chixin. ”
Mi Yin suddenly realized and understood the prince's intentions, "If someone really deliberately frames the commander, there will definitely be the next move, then the safest place for adults at this time is the secret prison!" ”
Jing Lin nodded, and then said, "That's not all, no matter what the purpose of that person is to frame Xin, now that Xin is no longer visible, the slightest relaxation of that person will definitely show his feet, and then we can lead him out of the hole." ”
Miyin looked at Jiayang Jinglin's gaze and added a little admiration, today's prince is really more and more kingly. But there was another thing that made her feel uneasy, "Your Highness, this Ning Wanyou is a world-famous dancing queen, as soon as the news of her death comes out, I think her admirers and the people of Qionghuaju will definitely be resentful, and immediately come to ask the government to execute the commander, then ......"
"So you must not tell the letter, only say that Ning Wanyou was killed, the murderer has not yet known, and is investigating with all his might, and it can be delayed for a few days. And tomorrow I will inform the courtiers that Wei Chixin has been ordered to carry out his mission and go out of the city. After that, Jiayang Jinglin pressed his right hand on Miyin's shoulder, and said with a straight face: "Miyin, we have to find out the murderer as soon as possible and find out the truth, time is very urgent." ”
Seeing that Jinglin had already made arrangements, Miyin relieved himself, "The minister will definitely do his best to investigate, and he will also lead the lord to be innocent." ”
Mu Yunmo returned to the mansion and asked the next person, and learned that Mu Yan had not returned to the mansion, and no one knew where he had gone. He had been waiting in the front hall until late at night, but he still hadn't come back, and just when Mu Yunmo was worried that Mu Yan was about to go out to look for it, the door was pushed open, and Mu Yan came in from the outside panting.
Seeing him come back, Mu Yunmo breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm back." ”
Mu Yan listened to Mu Yunmo's concise and clear words, and was inexplicably a little uneasy, "I'm sorry, I didn't say a word to you." ”
"What happened?"
"I ...... I went to the Dream House. For some reason, Mu Yan was a little weak when he said this, he stared at Mu Yunmo nervously, and without waiting for her to react, he cautiously added: "I met Qingyi at the gate of the palace, she wanted to enter the palace, and at this juncture I was afraid that she would reveal her identity, so I pulled her back!" ”
"Well, I know, let's go back to the room and rest, if there is a national funeral tomorrow, there will be no time to rest." Mu Yunmo had a faint expression on her face, she didn't seem to care, and walked towards the Scarlet Kite Pavilion alone, but only she knew that at this moment she had a strange feeling in her heart, although she quickly suppressed this emotion, but she silently thought about Qingyi in her heart.
