Chapter 57: The Murderer Lies on the Desk (2)
Shu Yao was taken to the restaurant by Shu's mother, the Xin family had already arrived, and Shu's father also came over immediately after getting off work, and now he is already here.
After dinner, considering that I would have to leave for C City tomorrow morning, it would not be easy to play too late, so I said goodbye to each other and went back. Back home, Shu's mother told Shu Yao to go to bed early and leave for school tomorrow.
Shu Yao nodded, urging her to go back to sleep quickly, she would go to bed early. After coaxing Shu's mother back, Shu Yao picked up her mobile phone and wanted to go in to see what was going on on Qianyan's side on the day she left, but after thinking about it, she was going to school tomorrow, so she should go to bed early tonight and see him in her sleep.
Return to the world of Chiyan.
Shaoqing carefully compared the similarity between the big housekeeper and the footprints, and finally told the emperor with a solemn face: "Back to the emperor, after comparing with the evidence taken by the ministers and others in the place where Chang Gongzi was killed, this person is the murderer who killed Chang Daren's son, and the crime is unforgivable, I hope the emperor will be convicted." ”
The Emperor: "Oh? Is this person really the murderer of Chang Daren's son? ”
Shaoqing of Dali Temple replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has carefully compared these evidences, and it is absolutely impossible to be wrong." ”
Emperor: "In that case, does the prime minister have anything to say?" ”
The prime minister wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty ......"
"Your Majesty!" Before the prime minister's words were finished, the chief butler kneeling on the ground said first: "Although the grass people are just a slave in the prime minister's mansion, the grass people have something to say. ”
"That's right."
The big butler kowtowed: "Emperor Xie." The grass people want to say that the thousand adults and the young master want to convict the grass people just by relying on this piece of paper with the murderer's footprints, and it seems that it is not enough to convince the public. ”
Lord Shaoqing scolded: "The evidence is already here, what else do you have to quibble." ”
Qian Yan chuckled: "Of course you won't admit it, but the red powder on the sole of your shoes betrayed you?" If you didn't kill people, and you didn't go to that private room, then where did the red powder on your feet come from? Do you mean that you went out to buy yesterday and accidentally got it? However, the red powder I made could only be applied to the waxed area. Where did the red powder on the soles of the butler's feet come from? ”
The big housekeeper refused to admit it: "Lord Qian really has a good mouth, the grass people didn't say anything, and Lord Qian put the charge on the grass people's heads, let the grass people say something." ”
Qianyan was not angry: "Yes or no, you can see the truth later." ”
The emperor looked at Qianyan's confident appearance, thinking that he might still have a back hand that had not yet been revealed, and his heart sank: "Wailang seems to be very confident." ”
Qian Yan said to the emperor: "Don't dare, it's just that this matter of catching the murderer is a big deal, and the minister doesn't dare to relax, without full evidence, the minister will not make a conclusion." ”
"Okay, now that I'm pretty sure, I'll wait for you to come up with enough evidence."
Soon after, the person who was secretly sent out by Qianyan to collect evidence returned. The soldier whispered a few words in Qianyan's ear, and Qianyan nodded to indicate that he understood.
After the soldier left, Qian Yan presented the evidence that had not been presented to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this can prove that this person is the murderer of Chang Gongzi." ”
The emperor opened the things handed over by Qianyan, and after reading it, he slapped the table vigorously with a calm face: "Prime Minister, look at the good slave you raised!" The emperor's words have already confirmed that the evidence handed over by Qian Yan is enough to prove that Chang Gongzi's death is related to the prime minister.
The prime minister was frightened by the emperor's anger: "Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know about this matter, and the minister definitely didn't kill Chang Daren's son." ”
Qian Yan chuckled, and in this tense atmosphere, this chuckle was particularly abrupt. Facing the eyes of the ministers, Qian Yan turned a blind eye and said: "If the minister is not mistaken, the prime minister's son-in-law had a dispute with Chang Gongzi in Wanxi Building not long ago, and it will be gone if he is not careful." Speaking of the motive for the killing, only the prime minister is the most likely. ”
The Prime Minister looked at Qianyan, who was poked in the saddest place, and couldn't help but scold: "Qianyan, don't spew blood here, if I want to take revenge, I would have done it when the accident happened, why wait until now." As he spoke, he turned to the emperor and said, "The emperor has to believe in the old minister, what kind of person the old minister is, do you still know the emperor?" If the old minister wants to take revenge, he must have avenged him as early as the moment when the minister's son is gone, so why wait until now? ”
The emperor listened to the prime minister's words and nodded approvingly: "What the prime minister said is not unreasonable, if the prime minister did it, he would never wait until now that a long time has passed." ”
The chief housekeeper kowtowed violently and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with my prime minister, it is the grass people who watch their adults wash their faces with tears every day, depressed, and unbearable, so they do such a thing." The grass people have nothing to repay the prime minister, so they can only avenge the adults and make the adults' hearts feel more comfortable. ”
Marble Shaoqing: "You said that this matter was done by one person?" ”
"Your Majesty, this matter was done by the grass people alone, and it has nothing to do with my family. My family doesn't know, please ask the emperor to know it! ”
Qian Yan looked at the big housekeeper with a determination to die, his eyes skimmed over the emperor's satisfied expression, and he sneered in his heart.
It seems that the matter has been settled like this, and many places are weird, but there is nothing weird. For example, the murderer was pressed into the prison, and the queen was beheaded; But when Chang heard the news, his expression was pale and he didn't have much emotion; Another example is that the prime minister was not strict in discipline, but he was only grounded for one month and fined for three months. It's not a little worse than Qianyan's previous punishment. But, no one refutes all this, who dares to refute the emperor's order?
Back in the treasury, Qian Yan looked at the other evidence collected in the private room, and suddenly smiled, this matter is not as simple as it seems.
Putting down the paper in his hand, his eyes fell on the iris in front of the window. It seemed that this was the first time she had disappeared since she could meet him. The thunder was rolling outside, reflecting his now low mood.
The night seemed to be darker than usual; The rain was pouring down, and the sound of the rain on the oil-paper umbrella was crisp and loud. The water under his feet was stagnant, and the rain dripped from under the eaves, mudding the sound of the rain.
The knock on the door was drowned out on this rainy night, and it was a long time before it was heard.
The door creaked open, and a servant came out, looking at the people outside and asking.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your lord."
