Chapter 40: Suspicion in public
Liuyin's eyes were full of shock when he looked at her, but Chi Yingchu was sure that he hadn't seen her before, and looked around innocently out of the corner of his eye.
Zhong Jingsong also saw the clues, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Do you know her?"
"I don't know. Liuyin looked away from her face and spoke in a difficult voice, "I've never seen her, and she hasn't made me do anything ......"
Chi Yingchu's face changed when she heard this, Zhong Jingsong suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked sharply, "Why do you say that?"
"Let go, my hand hurts......" Liuyin frowned and struggled, and the bustard next to her also helped her push, so he had to let go first.
She swept her gaze over the person not far away, took a deep look at Chi Yingchu, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before deciding to speak.
"Do you really want me to say it here?"
Zhong Jingsong's face became condensed, he didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with Chi Yingchu, but he already had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"Is there anything you can't say?"
Liuyin laughed softly, and every word was very clear: "It's not me, it's her." ”
A gaze fell on Chi Yingchu, and suddenly many people looked at her, Chi Yingchu felt inexplicable, when did she have something unspeakable?
Now that she is said like this, there are already suspicions on her, rather than hiding, it is better to take the initiative to stand up and explain this matter clearly.
"What's wrong with me," Chi Yingchu hooked the corners of her mouth, but she wasn't really laughing, and her tone was sarcastic, "If you know anything, you don't have to worry about me at all, just say it if you want to." ”
Liuyin deliberately paused for a moment, his little face looked aggrieved and pitiful, and he covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief: "That night, Zhao Gongzi was drunk with me, and said that he wanted to find a Chu girl from the Four Princes' Mansion, is this you?"
"And then?" Chi Yingchu sneered, clenching his palms indignantly.
If someone poured dirty water on her like this in her previous life, she would have rushed up with her fist a long time ago, but now her fist can't solve the problem.
"Then for an hour or two when Yin Shi arrived, no one can say whether Zhao Gongzi is there or not, so Lord Zhong should take you away as well. ”
The topic turned around, and it was nothing more than that she wanted to be taken away for interrogation, so she had to pull a cushion.
Chi Yingchu was ashamed of her heart, she looked at Zhong Jingsong, who was embarrassed, and then at Lu Yuanbai, who seemed to be smiling, and she decisively agreed.
"Okay. ”
Zhong Jingsong was also shocked when he heard this, Chi Yingchu didn't want him to show his stuffing, so he rushed in front of him and spoke: "Lord Zhong is fair, I believe you can return my innocence, it's nothing more than a trip." ”
She stretched out her hands, someone was going to tie them with a rope, but Zhong Jingsong stopped her, she followed behind him and looked back at Liuyin.
"Aren't you keeping up?"
Although Liuyin was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow, and when he passed by Lu Yuanbai, he paused slightly, and then raised his feet to leave.
Ji Yingchu and Liuyin were respectively imprisoned in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, although this place was much better than the dungeon of the Four Kings' Mansion, but this feeling of being looked at was still very strange.
Zhong Jingsong thought about secretly letting her out, but if she was treated differently, it would be easy for people to see the flaws, and Liuyin would definitely not tell the truth.
Zhong Jingsong first passed the rumor, and then asked people to bring Chi Yingchu, insisting that he heard that Zhao Lizhi would go to Chi Yingchu and ask for a strict investigation.
"Have we seen this before?"
"I learned about you from Zhao Gongzi, and I haven't seen you before. ”
Chi Yingchu's eyes flickered, and she suddenly laughed: "Do you know my identity?
Liuyin's face was calm and not afraid, and he was comfortable and innocent: "Maybe it's just that Miss Chu's own style is problematic, how can she be involved with the prince?"
"I didn't tell you my name from beginning to end, how do you know that my surname is Chu? Could it be that Zhao Gongzi told you again?" Chi Yingchu asked again.
"Yes, yes. A moment of panic flashed in Liuyin's eyes, but it was only fleeting.
When Chi Yingchu heard this, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious: "Lord Zhong, my acquaintance with Zhao Gongzi was just a coincidence, Miss Zhao was also present at the time, and even Zhao Gongzi didn't know his name. ”
"The words of the Liuyin girl are strange, and adults have to check it carefully. ”
Liuyin became less calm than Fang Cai when he heard this, but his face was still calm, and he was about to speak when he heard a voice from behind him.
"Since I am here, then I can prove that what Liuyin said is true, Miss Chu not only knows my brother's name, but also secretly sends Qiubo to him in front of me, and it is useless for me to dissuade him. ”
Both of them looked back and found that it was Zhao Lique, who was wearing linen and filial piety, followed by Lu Yuanbai, and there were not a few people watching the case in the hall.
Zhao Lique glanced at Chi Yingchu coldly, and then saluted Zhong Jingsong: "My lord, the concubine Zhao has something to report." ”
"Speak. Zhong Jingsong's face was solemn.
"That day, Chu Tongfang said that he would autopsy his brother for a drug test, but the concubine couldn't accept it and refused, does Lord Zhong remember?"
"This official has not forgotten. ”
Zhao Lique nodded, and then his next words were unexpected: "Later, the concubine figured it out, and found someone else to test the poison, which was seven grass quaint." ”
"The prince had also been poisoned by this poison before, it was Chu Tongfang's doing, and the prince could also testify, this poison is extremely difficult to have a strong medicinal properties, and there is no second person in the entire Shangjing!"
She pointed out that Chi Yingchu did it, even if Zhong Jingsong didn't believe it, but in the face of the shouts and cries of so many people in the hall, Chi Yingchu was to be sentenced to death.
He had no choice, but he had nothing to do.
Seeing that he was reluctant to give the order, Zhao Lique urged with a sneer: "What is Lord Zhong still hesitating about, and so on, you can't identify her as a murderer?"
Chi Yingchu's eyes calmly fell on Lu Yuanbai, he didn't say a word the whole time, he just acquiesced to Zhao Lique's actions, as well as the previous poisoning, and the poison was obviously changed by himself.
So now he is the real murderer of Zhao Lizhi?
"There are still some circumstances in this case that need to be clarified, and it cannot be fully proved that Liuyin is not guilty, nor can it be completely convicted of Miss Chu......"
Zhao Lique burst out excitedly when he heard this: "Whether it needs to be ascertained, or is Lord Zhong deliberately defending, the concubine has already heard about it......"
Chi Yingchu guessed what she was going to say, and suddenly stepped forward and slapped her, Zhao Lique covered his face and looked at her in disbelief.
"You think you're seeing the truth now, and I just hope that one day, you won't cry when you learn the true outcome. ”
Although she said this to Zhao Lique, she looked at Lu Yuanbai with clear eyes, he was still unmoved, the well-dressed beast was probably the kind of person she was talking about, right?
Zhao Lique was angry and wanted to fight back, Zhong Jingsong asked the guards to pull the two apart, and his face was pale: "Is it me who decides the case, or do you decide the case? If the official's words don't count, then you can go to the emperor at any time to participate in the official!"
In the end, the case was not broken, Chi Yingchu still couldn't leave, and some people outside began to strongly demand that Zhong Jingsong be executed as soon as possible, and she knew that he must be under a lot of pressure at the moment.
In the prison, a man suddenly came into her eyes, and when she raised her head and saw the face, her eyes suddenly became embarrassed.
