The crown prince Zhao Honghao was very puzzled, there would be someone who didn't want to get rid of suspicion?

Zhao Honghao looked at Song Yi with a little inquiring eyes, trying in vain to see her thoughts from the other party's face.

Just now, the prison director had already said that the palace maid Lan'er hanged herself, and directly cleared Song Yi's suspicion of murder.

But Song Yi himself was a little sideways, asked for a re-examination of the body, and personally overturned the judgment of the Criminal Prison Department.

This is the first time this kind of thing has happened. The crown prince Zhao Honghao also found it very interesting.

Zhao Honghao saw that the real king beside him had been silent, and wondered in his heart if the real king was also speechless?

"County Lord Qingping, do you know what you're doing now? If the palace maid Lan'er was murdered, as you just said, it was the murderer who faked Lan'er's suicide scene. You're suspected of murder, too! Do you know what that means? ”

The meaning of Prince Zhao Honghao's words, of course Song Yi understood.

But Song Yi also has his own considerations. Although I don't know why the Criminal Prison Department was so hasty just now, the palace maid Lan'er died unexplained, if she can't prove her innocence, even if she escapes the punishment of the law, she will always bear the infamy of forcing the palace maid to die.

Although Song Yi doesn't care about reputation, she is unwilling to bear such a grievance.

Besides, Song Yi himself studied law, although he did not recognize the selflessness of the iron mask and the disapproval of his six relatives, he would never allow the accusation of a lawsuit on his body.

Song Yi knew it in his heart, and he was confident and confident about the murder in the palace, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Song Yi knows." Before the palace banquet last night, the palace maid Lan'er and Song Yi had contact in Zhonghe Palace, and everyone misunderstood the situation between the two of us at that time. But Song Yi has a clear conscience and knows his innocence. So don't be afraid of these suspicions. “

"The palace maid Lan'er did not hang herself. Although Song Yi did not witness the process of his death, as long as he had the heart, he could certainly speculate the truth of Lan'er's death through evidence and reasonable reasoning at the scene. And all the evidence at the scene pointed to one thing, that is, the so-called palace maid Lan'er hanged herself, which was a conspiracy from beginning to end"

"Oh? The shrine was curious. On what basis did the county lord get such an inference? ”

Song Yi pondered for a while, and under the attention of everyone, he said, "Although the murderer is very cunning, he led me out of everyone's sight and fascinated me elsewhere. and then moved Song Yi here, taking advantage of the misunderstanding between Song Yi and the palace maid Lan'er, so that Song Yi became both a witness and a suspect. But the murderer was calculating, but he was also careless, which still allowed Song Yi to find three flaws. ”

"There are three pieces of evidence. The first evidence is that there are no traces of a fight in the house, except for the palace maids Lan'er and Song Yi, there are no traces of anyone else. ”

"And what does that mean?" The crowd was puzzled.

Song Yi sneered and said, "This is the first flaw revealed by the murderer. A palace banquet was held in the palace yesterday, and although it is remote, it is the only place to stop in the center of the Imperial Garden. Last night, the emperor asked the guests to enjoy the moon in the imperial garden, and many people will pass by here, and it is impossible for no one to enter the house to rest. And after Song Yi checked just now, the house was too clean, except for the traces of Song Yi and Lan'er, there were no clues that no one else had appeared. And it's so counterintuitive, it's like everything has been cleaned up."

Lord Liang didn't agree with Song Yi's words on the side, and retorted, "The county lord's words are too far-fetched. Although there was a palace banquet in the palace yesterday, there were palace cleaners everywhere in the palace, and it was not impossible for the house to be cleaned up in time."

Song Yi nodded, agreeing with Lord Liang's statement, "What Lord Liang said is extremely true, but last night's palace banquet lasted until the second half of the night, no matter how diligent the palace people were, they wouldn't clean the entire palace so thoroughly overnight, right?" ”

"Besides, this is just Song Yi's inference, and this is only one of them"

"Second: as the saying goes, 'Only the dead do not lie, so the dead will tell the truth.'" Just now, the palace maid Lan'er has told Song Yi all the truth about the matter."

"What, a dead man can still speak?" Before Song Yi's words landed, the people in the palace looked at each other, feeling creepy, and their hairs stood on end.

"A faction of nonsense" Lord Liang has been in charge of the Criminal and Prison Department for half his life, he thinks he is above board, he pays attention to real evidence in judging cases, and never believes in ghosts and gods.

"Lord Liang, do you have any opinions?" Zhu Xi opened his mouth to defend Song Yi and expressed his dissatisfaction with Lord Liang for interrupting Song Yi three times and twice.

When the prince saw that the true king was like this, he knew it, and said in a harmonious manner, "Lord Liang, don't worry. The merits have their own judgment. Naturally, the palace has asked the county lord of Qingping to re-examine the body, and let the county lord prove his innocence. This palace thinks that if there is something wrong with the county lord, there is no need to rush to refute it. And listen to what the county lord of Qingping said? ”

Although Song Yi didn't know if the prince really thought that he could prove his innocence, the prince spoke, which saved Song Yi a lot of tongues.

Song Yi still expressed his gratitude to the crown prince and the true king.

Then, Song Yi continued, "Lord Liang, you are a master of criminal prisons, and you have naturally seen many people who give false testimony and tell lies. It should be known that people's hearts are complex, and living people will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and out of consideration for protecting themselves, they will instinctively choose to lie or hide the parts that are unfavorable to themselves. Do you agree? ”

Lord Liang pondered for a while, and naturally agreed very much in his heart. The Criminal Prison Department does not know how many cases it will adjudicate every year, and there are many people who commit treachery and tricks, and there are even people who are full of lies and do not change their faces.

Lord Liang grabbed his hair with his hand, nodded again and again, and said, "What the county lord said is extremely true. Liang received the emperor's favor and was in charge of the world's criminal prison cases, and he also saw many witnesses and original defendants who committed perjury. It is that everyone has selfish intentions, and in order to maximize the benefits, they will choose to hide or lie intentionally or unintentionally."

"That's it. Living people instinctively consider interests, and it is understandable that they choose to say things that are beneficial to themselves and do things that are beneficial to themselves. But the dead do not lie, and all they say is the truth. It's just that some people hear and some don't."

"Oh? Then ask the county lord, how can we hear what the dead are saying? "It's no one else who asks for advice, it's the white-haired man.

As soon as he heard it, he unconsciously asked the question in his heart.

Song Yi was not unhappy, but said with great interest, "The world says that corpses are unlucky, and they think that they are full of all the grievances of the deceased. But Song Yi disagreed, the body was the last proof that the deceased left in the world. It is the words left by the dead to the world, the truth without lies."

Everyone seemed to understand whether they understood or not, but Lord Liang's eyes were shining, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Yi was already a look of meeting a bosom friend.
