Chapter 170: Assisting in the Investigation
"You ......"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Ruogu suddenly became angry, and looked at Yun Concubine's gaze with a little annoyance.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Qin Lingjue, who had not spoken, spoke: "Okay, Concubine Yun, you must pay attention to evidence in everything." ”
Hearing this, Yun Concubine stopped and did not continue to speak against Shen Ruogu and Zhu Yinghong.
Without Yun Concubine making trouble, after asking Shen Ruogu and Zhu Yinghong, Concubine Yi also summoned other concubines who had contact with Huiming yesterday, as well as palace maids and eunuchs, to inquire about it.
However, she didn't ask anything, and Concubine Yi didn't care, and proposed to hand over the matter to Dali Temple for investigation, and Qin Lingjue had no objection to this.
With his consent, Dali Temple quickly intervened in the matter, but nothing was investigated.
Originally, Qin Ling had planned to wait until the murderer was found, and then tell Beiqiang that Huiming had been killed, but before he could speak, Beiqiang learned about it.
Beiqiang Empress Shi Yao personally sent a document to ask him if the news was true, Qin Lingjue naturally did not want to continue to hide it, so he could only tell her the truth.
After learning that Hui Ming was indeed murdered, Shi Yao, the empress of Beiqiang, was furious and demanded that Qin Lingjue must find the murderer immediately, Qin Lingjue had expected this, so he was not angry, and immediately said that he would definitely find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge Huiming.
With Qin Lingjue's assurance, Shi Yao stopped, but the relationship between the two countries was still tense because of this.
"Sister Shen, do you think Beiqiang will fight with our Jin Kingdom?" Zhu Yinghong said worriedly.
Hearing this, Shen Ruogu glanced at her, and said with some tears and laughter: "No, I have been fortunate to get acquainted with the Empress of Beiqiang, she has a kind temperament, and she doesn't like blood the most, so she won't start a national war for this matter." ”
Hearing Shen Ruogu say this, Zhu Yinghong let out an "oh", and her expression immediately relaxed, "That's good, I don't like to fight and kill or anything." ”
The two were chatting, but the people from Dali Temple suddenly came to the door, saying that they had found the murderer of Huiming, and the target was Shen Ruogu!
Looking at the people from Dali Temple who suddenly appeared, Shen Ruogu didn't speak, but Zhu Yinghong asked one step ahead of her: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Niangniang, we found Shen Cairen's jade pendant in the queen's bedroom, so please ask Shen Cairen to come with us." The people of Dali Temple said.
Hearing this, Shen Ruogu's brows furrowed slightly, and his complexion changed suddenly, his jade pendant was indeed lost a few days ago, originally thought that it had accidentally fallen somewhere, but he didn't expect to find it in Huiming.
If it was on weekdays, it wouldn't be nothing, but now Huiming happened to be murdered, and now she found her jade pendant in her room......
Doesn't that mean that he is the murderer of Huiming?
Obviously, Zhu Yinghong also thought of this layer, and it was also a color change, and immediately said: "It's just a jade pendant, and it doesn't mean anything." ”
What the man said was not leaky: "Niangniang, the lower official didn't say that Shen Cairen was the murderer of the queen, and now he just asked her to go back with us to cooperate with the investigation." ”
Since everyone said so, Shen Ruogu didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he shook his head at Zhu Yinghong and signaled her to be calm, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
After that, Shen Ruogu took the initiative to walk out, seeing this, Zhu Yinghong opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something again, but seeing that Shen Ruogu was so resolute, she didn't speak again.
And after Shen Ruogu and the people from Dali Temple left, Zhu Yinghong's eyes suddenly became deeper, and the temperament of the whole person suddenly changed, and the straightforward temperament shown in front of Shen Ruogu was like two people.
On the other side, Shen Ruogu was halfway through with the people of Dali Temple when he was stopped by Rong Xiao.
"The emperor wants to see Shen Cairen."
As soon as these words came out, the people of Dali Temple naturally did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so Rong Xiao easily took Shen Ruogu away.
"Miss Shen, you're frightened."
Shen Ruogu shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and then followed Rong Xiao to the imperial study.
"Ruogu, I believe that you did not plot to kill Huiming, but this matter has already alarmed Beiqiang's side, and I can't show favoritism, so I ......"
Before Qin Lingjue could finish speaking, Shen Ruogu interrupted: "Ling Jue, don't worry, I understand what you mean, I just cooperate with the investigation, I won't blame you." ”
Hearing this, Qin Lingjue was immediately relieved, and told Shen Ruogu that this time she entered Dali Temple just to go through the motions, and she would be able to come out soon, so that she didn't have to be afraid.
Shen Ruogu naturally wouldn't be afraid, she hadn't done anything to murder Huiming, and now she just found out that her jade pendant was in Huiming's room, which was nothing.
She was just worried that this matter might be a conspiracy designed by the real murderer, and that her jade pendant would appear in Huiming's room, and it might be the other party's doing, but she couldn't say these words to Qin Lingjue.
………
After many days, Shen Ruogu returned to Dali Temple again, but this time she was not as a prisoner, but as a suspect.
But this time, no one dared to do anything to her, and the cell arranged for her was much better than last time, and also met Shen Ruogu's request and prepared some miscellaneous books for her to pass the time.
And she only needs to be interrogated by the people of Dali Temple every day, and the other party has asked him a lot, such as why her jade pendant appeared in Huiming, how her jade pendant was lost, and so on.
However, Shen Ruogu answered there? She didn't know it herself, and the case was at an impasse.
However, Qin Ling didn't care about these things, he was thinking about how to find a reasonable excuse to get Shen Ruogu out of prison.
However, when he just thought of an excuse and planned to fish Shen Ruogu out, Beiqiang sent someone here, saying that he was here to assist them in their investigation.
In this regard, Qin Ling was a little angry, although Huiming was once the princess of Beiqiang, but now she is married to the Jin Kingdom, that is, the people of the Jin Kingdom, even if it is an investigation, it should be an investigation by their Jin Kingdom, how can the people of Beiqiang come over and interfere?
He immediately sent a document to Beiqiang's side to question Beiqiang Empress Shi Yao, asking her what she meant?
And Shi Yao said that this was the opinion of the ministers of Beiqiang, and Huiming was her cousin, and now that she had been murdered by someone for unknown reasons, the murderer had not been found out yet, so she was naturally a little anxious, hoping that Qin Ling would understand.
Shi Yao said everything about this, Qin Ling was naturally not easy to refuse, mainly because people were murdered under his nose, and he himself was a little sorry for Shi Yao, so he agreed to let Shi Yao send someone over to help investigate the case.
