Chapter 303: Finding Evidence
The servant of the ministry curled his lips, raised his eyebrows slightly, and wrapped around the sandalwood chair, a pair of slightly stern eyes flashed a hint of gloom, "It seems that the palace master has admitted it." ”
Mu Liuyun didn't quibble, and he couldn't see a trace of emotion on his bright and elegant face.
"Take it away."
A cold tone sounded in the courtyard, and then the group of soldiers stepped forward and escorted Mu Liuyun to take him away.
Now that the truth of the blue jade theft case has been revealed, the emperor was furious when he learned about it, he didn't expect that it would be Mu Liuyun who stole the blue jade, and it was in vain that he trusted Mu Liuyun so much on weekdays.
In the main hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with his eyebrows pinched, his eyes radiated shocking anger, and there was a slight chill all over his body.
The father-in-law around him was also frightened by such an atmosphere and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened, Mu Liuyun, as the palace master of the Cloud Palace, actually did such a thing of a chicken and a dog thief, and it must be severely punished!" The servant of the ministry reported to the emperor, and there was also a confession admitted by Mu Liuyun himself.
"This Mu Liuyun really makes me feel cold! From now on, put him in prison and behead him after the autumn! ”
When he said this, the father-in-law behind him was also taken aback, and his reddish swollen eyes were round.
If it weren't for the full evidence, coupled with Mu Liuyun's confession, the emperor might not be so angry, let alone directly kill Mu Liuyun.
"Yes!
The servant bowed heavily, then bowed down for a while before retreating.
The case of Lan Yu's disappearance spread in the capital, which was naturally not a trivial matter, and the case of Mu Liuyun, the palace master of the Cloud Palace, stealing Lan Yu, was also spreading in the capital.
At this time, Lan Wan'er was holding a small bun to feed him porridge, and after hearing the news, she trembled, "What?!" Sure enough, what I feared came true......"
She thought that the blue jade was very rare before, but she didn't expect that it was actually a stolen treasure from the palace, and at that time she wondered if the blue jade was a treasure lost in the palace.
Mishu nodded, and his face was also gloomy.
"Now that the lord of the Mu Palace has been taken to the prison, the emperor has ordered that the autumn ask ...... beheaded"
Lan Wan'er's heart trembled, and she handed the bowl to Wei Qi, "Little Baozi, my mother has something to do, Xiao Baozi is obedient, wait for my mother to come back." ”
And Wei Qi stared at his round eyes, blinked, and his pink face was bulging, "Okay...... Mother, go ahead......"
Subsequently, Lan Xuan'er entered the palace, and after she entered the palace, she immediately asked to see the emperor, and the emperor also saw Wei Xuanyun's face, because of his power, so he agreed to meet Lan Xuan'er.
"I know what you came for, if you want to intercede for Mu Liuyun, face to face." The emperor looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, holding a golden fold in his hand, and raised his eyes to just glance at Lan Xuan'er.
"Your Majesty, Mu Gongzi must not be the one who stole the blue jade, he is the master of the Cloud Palace, and he will never bury his reputation and life because of a piece of blue jade."
Lan Wan'er stood at the bottom of the stairs and defended Mu Liuyun, in her heart, no matter how Mu Liuyun was, she would never do such a thing.
After hearing this, the emperor's face turned angry, and he threw the fold on the table, "If it weren't for Mu Liuyun personally admitting it, do you think I would be willing to believe that he was the one who stole the blue jade, and the person who identified him for stealing the blue jade, the human and material evidence is there, what can he be wronged?" Or does the princess think that I framed Mu Liuyun? ”
Lan Wan'er frowned, her face was embarrassed, and she also felt extremely embarrassed at the moment.
"But the witness is not necessarily the real witness, if the emperor believes me, call the person who corrected Mu Gongzi, and I will ask for it."
As soon as these words came out, the emperor breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and he was very upset about these things recently, so he flicked his sleeves, "Go and bring the witness who pointed out Mu Liuyun up." ”
After all, Lan Wan'er's words have come to this point, as the king of a country, he wants to give the princess a face.
The father-in-law behind him nodded and took small steps, informing the people below to bring up the witnesses who were still in prison.
During this period, Lan Wan'er desperately told the emperor about Mu Liuyun's good words, as well as his actions to the people over the years, as well as his contributions to the court.
Stealing the treasures in the palace is indeed a big crime of losing your head, and no one can be an exception, but Lan Xuan'er is convinced that Mu Liuyun is not that kind of person, and he must have something unspeakable.
I saw a guard hurriedly come in, kowtow and kneel on the ground, his face was very anxious: "Participate in the emperor and princess...... The man who claimed to be the Cloud Palace died in the prison, and it is said that he hanged himself. ”
Lan Wan'er's spirit suddenly fell into a trance, and she only felt that her head was dazed, all of this came too fast.
The emperor waved his hand, his face was also heavy, and the guard retreated, "You also saw it, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, now the witness has hanged himself." ”
"Your Majesty, I assure you in my own name that Mu Gongzi is absolutely innocent, ask the emperor to give me five days, I will definitely find evidence, give an explanation to the people of Fengwu Kingdom, and return Mu Liuyun to an innocence, and ask the emperor to agree!"
Lan Wan'er bowed her hands, her face was rigorous, and she knelt on the ground all of a sudden, her eyes flashed with sincerity and enthusiasm, and her unsmiling appearance made the emperor's heart soften suddenly.
In addition, this Mu Liuyun does have a good reputation in the community, and the emperor does not want to frame an innocent person.
"I promised you only five days."
The emperor raised his eyes, got up, glanced at Lan Xuan'er, and then left.
With the permission of the emperor, Lan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she felt that there must be something strange about this matter, the person who pointed out Mu Liuyun suddenly died in the prison, obviously someone made such a trick in order to confuse the public.
"Princess, get up quickly." The father-in-law glanced at Lan Wan'er and shook his head slowly.
Lan Wan'er got up and bowed her head to her father-in-law to show her gratitude, and then she left the palace, thinking about this matter all the way, and always felt that this matter was very strange, but at the moment she didn't care about guessing Mu Liuyun's psychology, so she had to figure it out first.
When she returned to the house, she called the book and the cold wind to the courtyard.
The courtyard is planted with quiet bamboo, which has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and there are occasionally some broken petals on the clean bluestone slabs, and the air has a hint of sweet fragrance.
"Looking for books, Leng Feng, the two of you have been with me for a long time, and I trust you the most, now that Mu Gongzi has an accident, I must help him get through this difficulty."
Lan Wan'er sat at the stone table, her hands clenched tightly.
Hearing his master's command, the two guards nodded in agreement.
Mishu is a little stubborn by nature, but she is very different from ordinary women, but she is rigorous and safe, and she is also anxious for Lan Wan'er at this moment.
"You go and find out the evidence related to Mu Liuyun and Lan Yu, as well as the witness who died in the palace prison, don't let go of any details, remember to investigate secretly, and try not to involve other people."
Leng Feng is relatively silent, but he thinks a lot, and he and Mishu are the best partners, and they are very confident that they can investigate this matter.
"Yes! Rest assured, master! ”
The two of them expressed their attitude, and they jumped onto the eaves of the house, and disappeared without a trace.
Mishu and Leng Feng accepted the task, and they secretly began to investigate this matter, they went everywhere they could, and also found people who had been in contact with Mu Liuyun before his death, but there were no clues.
The two men walked in disguise in the market, looking for a heavy face, "Let's ask again." ”
Leng Feng nodded.
The two searched for three days in a row, but there was still no news at all.
The two of them have been wandering outside for the past few days, looking for all the places they can think of, and asking all the people they can think of, but there are no valuable clues, and even sneaking into the prison in the palace, they have not found anything unusual about the dead witness.
When they returned to the Wei Palace, they were obviously a little lonely.
"Master......"
When Lan Wan'er saw the faces of the two people, she knew that their trip was in vain, and there were no clues.
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
And Mishu and Leng Feng lowered their heads and looked self-reproachful.
"You've worked hard these days, go down and rest first." Lan Xuan'er looked at the two of them and comforted them.
Subsequently, she thought about it carefully, and always felt that someone must have secretly destroyed the evidence, deliberately creating the appearance that the person who pointed out the testimony was inexplicably dead.
"There are two days left, time is running out......"
Lan Xuan'er couldn't sit still anymore, she was so anxious, her heart became more and more impatient, she got up suddenly, and now she could only ask Wei Xuanyun for help.
She hurriedly ran out, and happened to run into Wei Xuanyun who was coming down from the court, wearing a dark red official uniform.
"Something happened......" Lan Xuan'er saw Wei Xuanyun, her eyes showed a trace of worry, looking at Wei Xuanyun, her words trembling slightly.
So, she told Wei Xuanyun about the matter, but Wei Xuanyun was very surprised, she didn't expect Lan Xuan'er to take over this matter behind his back, although he knew that Lan Xuan'er was out of kindness, but this matter was not simple.
Wei Xuanyun comforted Lan Xuan'er and sat down, looked at her seriously and said word by word: "Xuan'er, haven't you seen this matter yet?" It was someone who deliberately wanted to harm Mu Liuyun. ”
"How can I not see it, so Mu Liuyun is innocent, we can't see death without help!" Lan Wan'er was anxious, she didn't think about it so much out of kindness.
Wei Xuanyun frowned slightly, her face was not very pleasant, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly: "There are still two days to go, not to mention that it is impossible to find evidence, someone is malicious and evil, you shouldn't care about this matter." ”
Hearing this, Lan Wan'er didn't have a taste in her heart, as a doctor, she didn't like to see death and not save her, she said that the doctor was benevolent, and she was.
