Chapter 102: Holding ..... Tightly
Lin Xuan seemed to be a cat who had been pricked with a needle, and immediately exploded, "Your Majesty! Weichen is wronged! Weichen is loyal and dedicated, and he will definitely not do such a thing that loses his conscience!"
When he spoke, his eyes kept looking at Concubine Shu, hoping that she would open her mouth to plead for herself and speak.
Concubine Shu didn't seem to see it, her eyes swept over him, and then she lowered her head, staring boredly at her bright nails.
Lin Xuan was shocked, and his heart kept sinking.
"You said it's Lord Lin?" Chu Lingyue's face was gloomy, "You have to know that false confession is a capital crime!"
"The villain doesn't dare to lie! This matter was indeed told by Lord Lin that I was going to assassinate him, and the lord said that the man knew too much and couldn't stay any longer. Who knew that when we arrived, the man was already dead, and we were captured by the medical saint, only to learn that Lord Lin had tricked us into taking the poison early in the morning, and he didn't want to leave any of them alive....... If it weren't for the medical saint, the villain would have died a long time ago!"
The man in black naturally didn't dare to lie in front of the king, and explained the matter clearly, but he skimmed over the matter of Chu Junyue's forced confession with great interest, and confessed when Old Man Hu captured him.
The more Chu Ling listened, his face could no longer be described as the bottom of the pot, he was furious, slapped the armrest suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Lin Xuan, what else do you have to say!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has wronged ......" Lin Xuan still wanted to quibble, "This person has no evidence, just based on one-sided words, don't be gullible!"
"Is there any evidence?" Ning Ke smiled, "It's not a coincidence that there really is." She gave Old Man Hu a look, and Old Man Hu understood and took out a bag of things.
"Your Majesty, these are all given to the old man by the seriously injured man before he died, and there are things that Lin Xuan ordered to destroy. ”
"What is this?" Chu Lingyue glanced at it from a distance, only to find that it was a uniform of the Lin family's guards, but it seemed to be missing, and there were also some shabby clothes, which were dirty.
Old man Hu replied with a smile, "This is a garment with corpse poison." As long as they come into contact with it, they will be infected with corpse poison. Except for the first few corpses that were unintentionally infected, the rest of the children died because they wore clothes with corpse poison!" Seeing everyone's panicked faces, he added, "Don't worry, we have an antidote, even if we are infected, we will be fine soon." ”
At first glance, the corpses, the first few clothes were fine, but the child was obviously wearing adult clothes, and it didn't fit at all.
Ning Ke said: "Your Majesty should still remember that the Minnu and the regent investigated the case of the South China Sea spy together, at that time, there was a guard named Li San who was infected with corpse poison and did not know it, and went back to serve the seriously ill old mother, the old mother died of illness, and the funeral was full of people, so naturally some people were unfortunately infected. Lin Xuan used those people's clothes to find a little beggar to attack! The beggar was not clothed, so he naturally didn't think that his clothes were poisonous, so he ......"
She didn't say the next words, everyone understood.
Immediately, Li San came forward to claim it, and confirmed that the child's clothes belonged to one of his distant relatives, and for some reason someone had pouted the grave, and other things were still there, but the clothes were gone.
Another indication, Lin Xuan was dripping with cold sweat, annoyed and angry, "You are talking nonsense! This official will not be like this!"
"If it weren't for your order, why would your guards kill people?" Ning Ke took out a strip of cloth from the hand of the child's corpse and compared it with the gap in the guard's clothes, which was completely consistent!
In fact, Ning Ke had given it to Chu Junyue before, but now that she wants to use it, she took it back as evidence.
Lin Xuan's body flickered, his face turned pale, he knew that he was going to be finished, and the human and material evidence were there, how could he get out!
Ning Ke struck while the iron was hot and continued: "It is also because the folk girl was involved in the South China Sea spy case, Lord Lin wanted to frame the folk girl with this. But the folk girl has always refused to admit her guilt, Lord Lin sent someone last night to pretend to rob the prison to rob the folk girl, and wanted to kill the folk girl on the charge of absconding for fear of crime, fortunately, the prince of Beiyue happened to bump into it, otherwise the folk girl would have already become a ghost under the knife!"
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Chun Yuyan couldn't wait to stride in from outside the hall, and without saying a word, he told him about the situation last night, which was called a righteous and awe-inspiring and impassioned!
The black-clothed man who pretended to come to rob the prison last night was also brought up, and he didn't know what method Chu Junyue used, all of these black-clothed people obediently confessed, and unanimously pointed out that it was instigated by Lin Xuan.
"Lord Lin, do you have anything else to say now?" Chun Yuyan raised half of his eyebrows proudly and smiled slyly, "If you need it, we still have proof." ”
Where did Lin Xuan still have something to say at this time, there were both human and material evidence, one after another, all of them were clearly investigated by Ning Ke, and he didn't give him a chance to breathe at all!
Not only her, but even the Lin family will suffer!
What's more, Concubine Shu has never shown her attitude, and she must be giving up on him!
It's worth it to give up one person and keep the whole family safe!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and knelt down as if he were dead, and bowed down for a long time, "Your Majesty spares his life!
Everyone was a little surprised by such a turn, but they didn't expect him to be so despicable and scoffed at him.
Chu Lingyue's face was uglier than anyone else's, he was bent on borrowing Lin Xuan's hand to get rid of Ning Ke and Chu Junyue, but he didn't expect Lin Xuan to fail!
"Bastard!" he was furious, "I have so much trust in you, and you have lost your conscience so much!
"Weichen is guilty, guilty. Lin Xuan cried bitterly, "But this matter was done by Weichen alone, and it was Weichen who had a holiday with Ning Ke before, so he made this decision." Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with others, please open up your Majesty and don't implicate the innocent!"
Chu Lingyue's face was calm, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Lin Xuan looked at the emperor and then at Concubine Shu, knowing in his heart that it was impossible to escape the blame, rather than disgrace the family and implicate others, it was better to take the initiative to make a decision.
"The guilty minister deserves to die! Goodbye to Your Majesty, Weichen apologizes with death!" He stood up with his eyes, his eyes were red, as if a beast had gone crazy, snatched the knife of the palace guard, and apologized on the spot.
He moved too fast, too suddenly, and everyone didn't react, and they saw Lin Xuan's eyes wide, dead in a pool of blood.
Ning Ke didn't expect that a person like Lin Xuan would have the courage to commit suicide, she also wanted to take this opportunity to repair the Lin family, but Lin Xuan suddenly committed suicide tragically, and the emperor was only afraid that he would be soft-hearted and no longer hold others accountable.
Sure enough, after Chu Lingyue listened to Concubine Shu's crying and crying complaints, he only convicted Lin Xuan on the spot, and the Lin family was not pursued.
Chun Yuyan glared at his eyes, his face was not angry, Lin Xuan dared to frame his little Keke like this, and the emperor did not pursue the Lin family?
He was originally a hearty and open-minded person, and he didn't have so much thought, so he had to theorize when he stepped forward.
"Don't. But his sleeve was tugged on, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Ning Ke giving him a look and telling him not to be impulsive.
Chun Yuyan gritted his teeth and stared at Chu Lingyue for a long time, although he was not convinced in his heart, he still endured it.
Ning Ke breathed a sigh of relief, although she herself was not very happy with such a decision, but she understood Chu Lingyue's purpose for making this decision.
Although Chu Lingyue regarded the Lin family as a thorn in his side, he knew that the Lin family's forces were intertwined, and it was not something he could defeat at one time. Moreover, if he kept the Lin family, he would have the power to balance Chu Junyue.
This is the art of imperial checks and balances! Don't let one side dominate!
"Ning Ke. She was thinking about it, but Chu Lingyue suddenly called her name, she raised her head suddenly, and said loudly: "The folk girl is here!"
"You were also framed by someone in this matter, I will correct your name here, and you are acquitted!" Chu Lingyue said with a serious expression.
Ning Ke didn't show joy, and thanked him lightly, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Such a big case was closed so top-heavy, and most of the people felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything, and they all dispersed soon.
Before leaving, Chu Lingyue suddenly stopped Ning Ke, "You have suffered in the past few days, but don't be suspicious, you still have to do what you have to do." At the moment, it is estimated that there will still be corpse poison left in Kyoto, so you will work hard to completely eliminate the corpse poison!"
"Yes!"
There was no appeasement, only a task, although Ning Ke was unhappy in his heart, he still responded.
"Hmm. Chu Lingyue glanced at her meaningfully, with a complicated expression, "You can also come to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet next month!" As the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion, you can't hide at home like you used to, you should come out and take a look." ”
Ning Ke was not surprised when he heard Gonggong Chen say this, and accepted it indifferently.
Chu Lingyue looked at her, she was so calm and wise as always, thinking of the courage she had just dissected the corpse with her own hands, as well as her performance these days, he was also a little amazed.
If she is a man, then he can still be included in his command and be a royal doctor, and he can be regarded as his own person. But the more she is unclear with Chu Jun, the more she may become a big trouble in the future, and she will follow Chu Jun to deal with herself.
After thinking about it, he still felt that it was time to find a way to turn Ning Ke into his own!
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, hehe, will be a good opportunity!
*
Ning Ke stepped out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the endless clear sky outside, the breath of freedom rushed towards her, she took a breath, and felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
Chun Yuyan proposed, "Xiao Keke, you have finally been wronged!
Speaking of celebrating, Ning Ke suddenly remembered Chu Junyue, that guy also said that he wanted to celebrate before her accident, and said that he had a secret to tell her.
"No, I'm a little tired, let's do it another day!"
"Okay, then little Keke, you go home and rest first, and I'll look for you tomorrow. Although Chun Yuyan was a little disappointed, she could still understand her.
"Uh-huh. Ning Ke said goodbye to him, sat directly in the sedan chair brought by the prince, and left the palace.
On the way back to the house, I had to pass by the Regent's Mansion, which had been grounded for the past few days, and the front of the door seemed a little deserted.
She pursed her lips and suddenly called a stop, "That's it! I still have some things to do, you go back to the palace first." ”
"Yes!"
The prince's people left, Ning Ke looked left and right, and found nothing suspicious, so he entered through the side door and went straight to Chu Junyue's room.
She didn't know why she came, she just felt that her feet didn't obey the call, and the whole person was disobedient, and after she was declared innocent, the first person she wanted to see was him!
There was no one in the mansion today, and she thought it was because of the emperor's ban, so she pushed the door in first.
However, there was no one in the room, and Ning Ke couldn't help but feel a little lost and was about to go out.
"Little Ke'er, I knew you were coming. Suddenly, someone behind her hugged her tightly, laughing happily, "I've been waiting for you." ”
