Chapter 160: The Truth Revealed

"Princess Pinghu has a straightforward temperament, and Huaining and Princess Pinghu have been together for a while just now, and the mud on her feet should be the same as the wetness and dryness, which proves that the two of us have not come back to the edge of this Songshan Pond after separation." After Gu Muyan finished speaking, he lifted the edge of his skirt slightly, revealing his shoes.

And Princess Pinghu was also busy exposing her shoes when she saw this, and the mud on these shoes was really almost dry.

Then Gu Muyan slowly looked at the crowd, looking over one by one, everyone was worried about whether they would suspect their bodies.

"I think that after the prisoner pushed Miss Wang into the water, he should have fled in a hurry, and when someone found out, he would follow the crowd again, so that person's feet would inevitably be stained with the mud near this Songshan Pond, and he should have already done some trouble." Gu Muyan speculated.

"Someone! Thorough investigation! With his hands behind his back, he frowned and commanded the guards beside him, and then he looked at Gu Muyan with satisfaction and nodded.

Princess Pinghu, who was not far away, didn't know what she was thinking at this time, although she was not suspicious for the time being, but it also made her even more unable to understand Gu Muyan.

When he was in Xijiang Kingdom, those three people were clearly under their control, how could they come to this Chen Kingdom, it seemed that nothing was the same, and he actually had a feeling that he had nothing to do.

Just like Fang Cai, Gu Muyan magnified his suspicions on the one hand, but on the other hand, it didn't take long for him to start defending himself again.

Therefore, Princess Pinghu really couldn't figure out what the purpose of this Gu Muyan was, so she scanned this Gu Muyan up and down with an inquiring gaze, as if she could see something.

And Gu Muyan didn't notice Princess Pinghu's gaze, but she didn't plan to pay attention to it, but stood in her position generously, no matter how Princess Pinghu's gaze was, she showed everything.

Fang Cai himself just wanted to give Princess Napinghu a dismount, so as to tell her that she was now in Chen Guo, not Xijiang.

"Brother Cheng, like this..."Gu Muyan turned over slightly and whispered a few words to Cheng Qi behind him, and Su Ziran on the side naturally heard it clearly.

"Yan'er! I sometimes wonder if my father bought the name of the first talented woman in Beijing a few years ago, and since I met you, I have been constantly doubting life! After Su Ziran finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and looked at Gu Muyan with complaining eyes.

Gu Muyan turned his head to look at Su Ziran, took her hand and said, "If you really compare, I don't have the talent of yours, it's just that I read more books than you!" ”

"What kind of book? Yan'er is getting worse and worse, and you don't even share any good books with me! Su Ziran pretended to be angry and put his hand on his waist, his mouth was bulging, so cute that people couldn't help but want to pinch it!

And Gu Muyan really did this, and directly poked Su Ziran's bulging cheeks with his fingers, didn't Su Ziran break his success this time?

Just when Su Ziran was about to pretend to be angry again, Gu Muyan hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll sort it out for you when I go back and send it to your house!" ”

"Is there really such a book?" Su Ziran thought that Gu Muyan made it up, but he never thought that he would really send it, so Su Ziran was naturally happy.

She already likes to read, all kinds of books, rare and precious books should also be read, even if her father blames the books, she has to secretly look at them a few times before she is willing to stop!

And time passed bit by bit, and not long after, several traces under their feet were obviously somewhat abnormal and brought to Jinshang, among them, naturally there was the woman who first suspected Gu Muyan in front of Jinshang, Li Shangshu's daughter, Li Lian.

Looking at the several women in front of him, Gu Muyan looked back and forth, then stared at Li Lian and said, "I think you are the murderer, right?" ”

"Humph! Princess Huaining is joking, right? You said that the one with the mud stains on his feet that are about to dry is the murderer, what? Now I can't find it, so I can't find it, and I want to close the case by pulling someone casually, right? Li Lian waited for Gu Muyan and said, looking like she hadn't done it.

Hearing Li Lian's words, he naturally wanted to ask clearly, if he was arrogant, where would this prestige come from in the future? That's why Imagami asked, "Huaining, don't you think you should explain?" ”

"That's it! Princess Huaining's actions like this are inevitably too ignorant of my Great Chu law, right? After Li Lian snorted coldly, then walked out of the crowd, knelt in front of Jinshang and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to be the master of the courtiers!" The courtiers are really wronged! ”

Seeing that Li Liandu knelt on the ground like this and appealed, Jinshang was also a little angry at this time: "Huaining, you should give me an explanation!" ”

"Your Majesty, the one who Huai Ning said before that there are mud stains on his feet that have not dried up is the real murderer, this is actually a disguise, it just rained hard last night, although the sun is out today, but the soil in this imperial garden is still extremely slippery." Gu Muyan paused slightly when he said this.

Some anxious people were already a little impatient and curious: "Then since this is just a cover, where is the real murderer?" ”

Hearing someone ask, Gu Muyan turned around slightly, and continued to explain to the person who had just asked: "You can lift your shoes and see, more or less they should be stained with some mud, which doesn't mean anything, but it's only her!" ”

Speaking of this, Gu Muyan turned around again, pointed at Li Lian and said, "Only her feet are clean, as if they have been treated, so who will deal with the mud stains on her feet?" I'm afraid there are only people who have ghosts in their hearts! ”

After Gu Muyan's words were finished, everyone suddenly realized, and only then did they notice that the shoes on Li Lian's feet were really clean, and there was not a trace of dust stained.

And almost all the people around him who attended the banquet had mud stains on their feet, and even some of them were inevitably on the feet of the saints today, and that Li Lian, the shoes on these feet were indeed too clean, how could people not doubt it?

"What else do you have to say?" Looking at Li Lian with a squint, Li Lian originally wanted to quibble, but under the authority of the king, how could she dare to hide it?

The moment she met Jinshang's eyes, Li Lian had already been frightened and sat down on the ground, and then quickly got up and knelt in front of Jinshang to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, the courtiers didn't mean it, the courtiers were wronged!" Ask the emperor to see it! ”

"Someone! Drag it down, and the law of peace will be disposed of! Master Li has no way to teach his daughter, and the official is demoted to the third class! Seeing that Li Lian's whole body trembled with fear, he was extremely disgusted in his heart, and after giving the order, he turned around and left.

At this time, Li Lian didn't know where the strength came from, so she kowtowed on the ground vigorously, and didn't care if her head was broken, she only knew to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! It's Zheng Mengna and Shen Yuxiang! It was the two of them who pushed Wang Linna into the water, and the courtiers were just watching from the sidelines! I beg Your Majesty to open the net! It really wasn't done by the courtiers, the courtiers were just too scared so they wiped their shoes clean! ”

At this time, everyone's eyes also fell on the two people who were mentioned, and they naturally didn't dare to raise their heads to look at the questioning eyes around them, but pushed each other, and the clear-eyed people could almost see the kitten between the two of them at a glance, and they also knew that Li Lian was afraid that what she said was true.

"What the hell is going on? Don't hurry up and recruit it truthfully! Jinshang was really angry now, slapped one hand heavily on the stone table, and stood up from the stone bench with a "rub", looking down at Li Lian who was kneeling below.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers say! The courtiers said! Li Lian knelt on the ground and crawled forward a few steps tremblingly, her face full of tears. The reddish eye sockets are faintly like employers taking advantage of them.

"Your Majesty, this matter is actually because of the two princesses, before the start of this palace banquet, Wang Linna deliberately provoked Princess Huaining and Princess Pinghu, and later it was exposed, and she was ridiculed by everyone..."Then Li Lian said and looked at Gu Muyan and Princess Napinghu.

"Don't splash dirty water on Princess Ben's head!" Princess Pinghu said angrily, turned around and saluted to Jinshang: "Your Majesty, Pinghu has come all the way to this capital, and he has never met the nobles in this capital, so how can he talk about offending or making friends?" ”

"Don't care, princess, I don't doubt what you mean, of course, I also believe in Princess Huaining, but I'm afraid there is something hidden in this, let's listen to her carefully." Imasami said after giving Princess Napinghu a reassuring look.

After all, this princess Pinghu is from Xijiang Kingdom, and she has a face here, so she must still want it today, so naturally she will not be polite to Princess Pinghu, on the contrary, she will naturally say something good.

"Yan'er, then they're going to splash dirty water on you!" Su Ziran stood beside Gu Muyan, his brows furrowed, and he said extremely worriedly.

Who knew that Gu Muyan was not worried at all, and even comforted Su Ziran in turn and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, let's listen to what Li Lian has to say." ”

Seeing that Jinshang continued to look at herself, Li Liancai finally sorted out her thoughts again and continued: "After the banquet began, everyone began to talk about their recent situation, which was nothing more than gossip in the capital or their own marriage, it happened that the courtiers and Zheng Mengna and Shen Yuxiang were watching the scenery on that little Qiao, and Wang Linna came over from the other side, because of the previous rumors, we made a few sarcastic words, but I didn't expect that Wang Linna actually rushed over directly, like crazy, and scuffled with us!" ”

"So you pushed that Wang Linna into the Songshan Pond together?" Imakami looked at the three people in front of him condescendingly and asked, his eyes as if he was about to kill.
