124: Participation in the trial

Things are getting weirder and weirder.

Xiao Xuan asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Now that the suspects are already there, of course, all of them are invited to Dali Temple for interrogation."

"Do you have a way to determine who is the real culprit?"

Mu Huanyan shook her head, she hadn't thought of a way for the time being, but with the suspect, things have already progressed, and there is always a way to find out who did it.

"You take this account book back first, tomorrow I will go to Dali Temple to report this matter, Dali Temple has come forward, those people can't say anything."

"Huan Yan, you shouldn't have been involved in such a dispute." Xiao Xuan looked at her, a little distressed. The life of a boudoir woman really shouldn't be like this, she has endured too much.

Mu Huanyan smiled, "It's okay, I'm used to it." From the very beginning, when she walked to the court, she was doomed to be uncomfortable.

After Xiao Xuan left, Mu Huanyan kept sitting and thinking about how to find the real murderer from the suspects, and this sitting was dawn.

However, the solution has already been thought of, she shouted to come, Luo Zhen and Siya have already entered the door, washed up, and took Luo Zhen out to Dali Temple.

After Mu Huanyan told Zheng Yuanhua, the secretary of Dali Temple, the evidence he had found, Zheng Yuanhua sent Shaoqing Cheng to take people to find the suspects, after all, they were only suspects, and these people were all important ministers in the court, and it was impossible to arrest them.

Zheng Yuanhua asked Mu Huanyan to stay in Dali Temple, and he personally entered the palace to investigate the suspects in the palace. After he entered the palace, he naturally went to the weaving bureau. After asking for the account cloth, he was surprised to find that only the East Palace had taken away the cloth, but in order to find out the truth, Zheng Yuanhua still went to the East Palace.

"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ling Ran looked at her and asked, "Lord Zheng came to visit early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have a lot to do with the case of Du Guanyue's death, Weichen is going to have a public trial today, and he must ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Dali Temple to assist in the investigation."

"What does Du Guanyue's death have to do with Prince Ben?" Ling Ran was puzzled.

Master Zheng said: "Yesterday, when the county lord of Heyue was conducting an autopsy in Du Mansion. found that Du Guanyue was holding a piece of cloth in his hand. The sales records provided by Shengyuan Silk Village show that a batch of goods has been purchased in the palace, and the account books of the Weaving Bureau show that the East Palace has received this cloth. ”

"In that case, Prince Ben has no choice but to go with you."

When Lord Zheng and Ling Ran arrived at Dali Temple. Master Cheng has also invited several other suspects. Even the shopkeeper of Shengyuan Silk Village was invited to Dali Temple.

The case was heard in court. Lord Zheng sat on the main seat of the public hall, Mu Huanyan and Master Cheng each sat on one side, and Ling Ran was due to the problem of identity. set up a seat under the stage, now it is only a suspicion, and it cannot be said that the prince is the murderer of Du Guanyue, so naturally he still needs to be respected.

Standing below were several other disgusted people, Mrs. Mu and the Chen family were also invited to Dali Temple, followed by Chen Zhai, the eldest son of the Chen Mansion, Hou Wenchu of Changping, Zhu Fa, a wealthy merchant in the capital, and King Liang.

King Liang was the last to come, and Lord Zheng still gave a seat because of his identity.

Last night, Mu Huanyan also suspected the Chen family, because Chen Jian and the Marquis of Changping were included, but after thinking about it carefully, the three families had used this batch of cloth, if it was really Chen's doing, there was no need for this at all. However, since it is a suspect, it is still necessary to invite to the scene.

"Ascension!"

"Might-Might-"

Lord Zheng was about to speak, and Prime Minister Du Cheng also came to the scene.

"Lord Zheng, I also want to see here today who did this to my beloved daughter."

"Prime Minister Du Cheng mourns by the way, since you are here, I hope you can stay calm and don't affect the trial, just sit down here."

Then, Lord Zheng spoke: "Yesterday, with the assistance of the county lord of TongguΓ², there has been a great breakthrough in the case of Du Chengxiang's beloved daughter Du Guanyue, which is why everyone was invited over, Lord Cheng, to submit the evidence." ”

Lord Cheng took a piece of cloth that he got from Du Guanyue's hand, then a sample of Shengyuan Silk Village, or some account books, and sent it to Lord Cheng's desk.

Master Zheng first took the piece of cloth that he took from Du Guanyue's hand, and said: "Everyone, this cloth was taken from Du Guanyue's hand, when this cloth was taken, many people at the scene watched, at that time, Du Guanyue's hand was tightly grasping this cloth, so it was also determined that this piece of cloth was never put in after the murder, it must have been torn off by Du Guanyue when he was struggling with the murderer, and then tightly knitted, according to the explanation, if the thing that people held before death could not be held again after it was broken, So this cloth is the evidence that is not important in this case. According to the sales records of Shengyuan Silk Village, this batch of goods has been purchased by several of you, so all of you are suspects in this case, and now, I will give you a chance, who did it, please invite it truthfully! ”

Mu Huanyan observed everyone's eyes, it was difficult for people's eyes to lie, but he didn't see any accidents in these people's eyes.

The first to stand up was Chen, she said: "This matter has nothing to do with our Mufu, I have no motive to kill Miss Du at all, please Lord Zheng to investigate." ”

"Do you say you don't have a motive if you don't have a motive? I don't think you can see that my daughter is the crown princess and wants to destroy this family affair, so you buy a murderer to hurt my daughter. "Prime Minister Du Cheng and Mu Yaotian are at odds, of course they will not give Chen a chance to exonerate.

"Prime Minister Du, I am the one who is trying the case today, please don't interfere with the audio-visual."

Mrs. Mu said very politely: "Lord Zheng, as my daughter-in-law said, our Mu family will never do such a thing, my granddaughter, who is the county lord of Heyue, has said good things about Miss Du in front of the prince many times, and there is no need to do such a thing at all." If it was my Mu family's doing, my granddaughter could destroy the evidence when she found out that our Mu Fu was also a suspect, my lord, what do you think? ”

Mrs. Mu's words are indeed reasonable, and Lord Zheng also feels that the Mu family cannot have anything to do with this matter, if it is really related, when Mu Huanyan was investigating this case yesterday, he would try his best to destroy the evidence, let alone let Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Mu be invited to Dali Temple as suspects.

At this time, King Liang stood up and said: "This king thinks that how to determine that we are suspects based on just a piece of cloth, Shengyuan Silk Village has been producing cloth for many years, and it is impossible that there has only been a batch of goods shipped recently, this evidence is too far-fetched." ”

When Lord Zheng was told by King Liang, he really felt that there was a loophole, so he pointed to Liu Zhan, the shopkeeper of Shengyuan Silk Village, and said, "How do you see that this piece of fabric is a recent shipment?" ”

How could Liu Zhan tell the defective products he produced here, wouldn't this affect the business of the silk village, and he couldn't help but sweat.

Mu Huanyan said: "My lord, when I was investigating yesterday, I had already asked clearly, Shopkeeper Liu said that this batch of goods is different from the previous goods, this is the first batch of fabrics of the new revision, they are also in the market to test sell, see the reaction, because the difference is very subtle, so, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but as soon as Shopkeeper Liu saw that this cloth as evidence is the newly revised cloth, it is better to ask Shopkeeper Liu to explain, what is the difference between this fabric and the past? ”

Liu Zhan listened to Mu Huanyan's words, worried that it was finally gone, this county lord really understands people's minds, she said this, it will not affect the business of Shengyuan Silk Village, this time has calmed down a lot, he said: "In the past, we weaved the fabric horizontally, and this batch is woven vertically, my lord, you can see the difference between these two kinds of fabrics." Liu Zhan took out a piece of fabric from the past, and after Lord Cheng took it, he presented it to Lord Zheng.

There is indeed a difference in such a comparison.

"As Shopkeeper Liu said, there is indeed a difference in fabrics, King Liang, can we continue?"

Since there is no problem with the fabric, the case must of course proceed.

The rest of them, none of them admitted that they had anything to do with the case, and they all said that it was impossible for them to kill Du Guanyue, and Prime Minister Du Cheng said angrily: "Since you are suspects, then the real murderer must be among them, Lord Zheng, I implore you to use the torture, and after the torture, I don't believe that they don't tell the truth." ”

It is normal to use punishment in the trial, but with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Liang, other people are easy to say, just because of the identities of these two, Lord Zheng does not dare to use punishment lightly.

It's just that when Liang Wangnan looked at Prime Minister Du Cheng, there was obviously a trace of contempt in his eyes, and he didn't put him and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his eyes, and said that he would be tortured in front of so many people.

Mu Huanyan gave Master Zheng a wink and shook his head gently.

"Prime Minister Du, if you interfere with my trial again, then please go out!"

Mu Huanyan was holding the emperor's imperial jade pendant in his hand, this was ordered by the emperor to let them investigate, even if the deceased was the daughter of Prime Minister Du, he really couldn't interfere with this matter, so he had to stop talking.

Lord Zheng looked at Mu Huanyan: "County Lord, none of the suspects admit to being related to this case, how can you find the real murderer?" ”

Ling Ran stared at Mu Huanyan, he didn't expect that she had already found the suspect so quickly, she dared to let Lord Zheng open a court to try the case, she must have been confident, and she already had a solution to the problem.

Princess Liang has been Mu Huanyan's guest, and he has also heard some rumors about Mu Huanyan, so he is quite interested in seeing with his own eyes how this woman solves the case?

"Master Zheng, it's actually very simple to find the real culprit." Mu Huanyan replied very easily.

Lord Zheng was happy in her heart, she had the best way, so she didn't need to be tortured.

Prime Minister Du Cheng felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, although she was trying to find out who was the real culprit who hurt his daughter for him, he still didn't like her.

Prime Minister Du looked at these suspects, except for the prince, everyone else looked like murderers. (To be continued......)
