Chapter 471: A Kick in the Door
This Huang Steward still wanted to maintain a little politeness on face, but Feng Xiaoyue didn't plan to be false with him like this, so she simply went straight to him.
"This place is so close to your house, I guess you have already heard the sound of us talking here, that person is now immersed in the well, and the palace is worried that no one will help salvage it, so you are here, then you will have to work hard."
"Whatever the crown princess said, this is what the little ones should do." Steward Huang didn't pretend to be pretty, and after saying hello, he raised his hand at the group of people behind him, and everyone went directly to the well.
Feng Xiaoyue was afraid that they would be in a hurry and would do something on the salvaged bodies, so even if she was scared in her heart, she kept holding back and watched them act here with her own eyes. And she also didn't ask Xiaoyun Xiaoyu and them to accompany them excessively, so she allowed Xiaoyun to turn her face away.
"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you should have taken great pains for the affairs of the Crown Prince recently, and you will not come to this kind of place alone today, but I don't know what the Crown Princess has discovered?"
Steward Huang came over to speak, and just blocked in front of Feng Xiaoyue, she was simply taller, and she could still see a little bit of the group of people working at the wellhead from the side of the housekeeper's head.
"Since it's such a big thing as restoring people's innocence, how can this palace be so easy to take it out and publicize it?"
"The crown princess said the same, but it's a small one." Steward Huang echoed, and then the shouts of those people came from behind.
"Butler, the person has been salvaged, and it is really the sparse scholar in our house."
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue temporarily forgot the fear in her heart, and went up to take a look, but just found a jade pendant held tightly on the left hand of the corpse.
"It's hard for you, huh?" Feng Xiaoyue only felt bad in her heart, when she looked at it, although it was only a glance, but the jade pendant strung with yellow ears was so conspicuous. There's no way she'd not see it.
And Steward Huang also had a posture of three hundred taels of silver here, for fear that others would not be able to see it, so he pointed to the scholar's left hand and was surprised.
"This jade pendant has such lines on it, look like a jade pendant that is only suitable for the royal family."
This sentence is also asked nakedly and knowingly, like this jade pendant with a ring dragon pattern and golden silk, it was originally used to show the representative of the royal identity, and since Murong Yu ascended the throne, a total of two have been made, which were given to Murong Lin and Murong Yin respectively.
A seven-year-old child must be able to understand the meaning of this jade pendant, which is impossible to fake and has no other jade pendant of the same style in the world, and now appears in the hands of a dead witness.
"Could it be that the second prince died violently. Is it really related to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the scholar in our house happened to know some inside information, so he ended up dying unjustly? ”
Steward Huang didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, which caused Feng Xiaoyue on the opposite side to look at her with more and more resentment, "It doesn't matter, the clear person will clear himself, and when the truth of the matter is found out, the truth will naturally be revealed, why are you in such a hurry to put the crime on the prince." ”
Just as he was talking, the little guy who was sent out to call the people from the Criminal Department finally led the people back at this time.
After the official of the criminal department first saluted Feng Xiaoyue, he came over very professionally and did some simple treatment next to the corpse, and also carefully took out the jade pendant and put it away, and then put the corpse on the stretcher, ready to move it to the carriage outside.
"The crown princess said the same, I just hope that the crown prince can also explain such a conclusive matter." Steward Huang watched the corpse being taken away, and he was not in a hurry, anyway, what needed to be done had already been done, so he said a few provocative words to Feng Xiaoyue, turned his head and took people back.
Feng Xiaoyue looked very resentful on the surface, but after the housekeeper took the person away, the expression on her face suddenly became playful.
"This is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, thinking that you are in control of the overall situation, but you don't know that this is adding to the snake."
"Miss, don't worry too much, there will always be a way to solve it." Xiaoyun thought that Feng Xiaoyue was crazy with anger, and she was very distressed and comforted her. However, Xiao Yu seemed to be able to understand Feng Xiaoyue's intentions better, so she kept her mouth shut.
"I don't need to continue to worry, as he said, the dust can indeed settle." Feng Xiaoyue waved her hand casually, "I never thought that they actually came over to help us, now let's go back to the house and wait for tomorrow." ”
The next day, in order to find the only witness involved in this case in a daze for Feng Xiaoyue the day before, and suddenly drowned in his own home, the official department Shangshu began to go online, suspecting that Murong Lin was trying to kill people and kill people, and immediately demanded that after the early dynasty was over, he would bring Murong Lin and ask about the matter clearly.
Murong Yu had no choice, and he was indeed puzzled in his heart, so he summoned Murong Lin into the palace. Since this matter is a scandal in the palace, there is no need to put it in the early dynasty, so Murong Yu found a warm pavilion in the side hall to make a temporary court.
Murong Lin had just been approached to the store, and Qian Shangshu immediately came out and added fuel and vinegar, so that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department next to him couldn't stand it.
Waiting to be rendered in front of Murong Yu, even the complete development process of the whole story has been compiled by Qian Shangshu, and he has few intermediaries, so he asked Murong Lin rhetorically.
"I don't know what Your Highness said, does Your Highness feel very familiar? Presumably, this was the plan of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time! ”
"Ah, what did you just say?" Murong Lin's eyes widened, and with an understatement, Qian Shangshu was so angry that he suddenly froze in place. Feng Xiaoyue held back a smile in her heart, and slowly walked in front of Murong Yu with Murong Lin to bow and bow.
"Erchen saw his father, although Erchen didn't hear what was said in his mouth, but the general meaning was still heard, Erchen wanted to ask Qian Shangshu, how can the crime be identified on Gu's head?"
Qian Shangshu was so angry that he couldn't say anything when he deliberately pretended to be stupid to Murong Lin, which would make Murong Lin get straight to the point, so he confronted him directly, and he was caught off guard.
He stood dumbfounded for a moment with his hands in his hands, and then reacted, raising his right hand in incomprehensible surprise.
Does this need any explanation? It can't be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't heard of it from the mouth of the crown princess, the dead scholar's hand is holding the exclusive jade pendant beside the crown prince,"
"It is impossible for others to have a jade pendant like this. There's no way the prince can say that the jade pendant isn't yours, right? If you can take out your jade pendant, maybe we can still believe it. ”
"I've heard of this, but it's really unfortunate to say that my jade pendant was lost when the people of the Mulan Kingdom came to assassinate it, and to this day, I haven't found it. Shangshu assisted my wife in recovering this jade pendant, and I really have to thank you well. ”
Murong Lin said, and smiled at Qian Shangshu very comfortably, there was no tension at all between the actions, and Qian Shangshu was more and more confused.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this? It's impossible for you to want to clear yourself of suspicion for such a reason, and who might believe an excuse like this? ”
"I believe in it." At this point, Murong Yu suddenly interjected, telling Qian Shangshu to immediately rein in.
"After the loss of the crown prince's jade pendant, I also talked to me about it, but I thought it wasn't a rare object, and I didn't have to make a fuss, but it made it difficult to collect, so I thought he was wet, and I wanted the Internal Affairs Office to make a new one."
This is an object that can symbolize his identity, but it has become so worthless in Murong Yu's mouth. However, the treasury is empty, and even if it is a jade pendant made for the crown prince, the material on it is not very expensive, so if it is at the usual price, this is true.
"Father, in addition, there is also a question about the daughter-in-law's affairs, although I don't know if this case is beneficial, say it, and ask a few adults here to help taste it."
Feng Xiaoyue spared no effort to salute and greet, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Qian Shangshu's whole person became vigilant. When Qian Shangshu was with Murong Yin before, he had heard a little rumor about Feng Xiaoyue at that time, and knew that she was even more difficult to deal with than Murong Lin in some aspects, so he didn't dare to underestimate her too much.
"The crown princess, please speak." Shangshu of the Criminal Department nodded, and made a gesture of invitation very politely.
Feng Xiaoyue bowed, but only looked at Murong Yu as she spoke, "When my daughter-in-law helped with the investigation before, I once learned from this little scholar's fellow villagers that the scholar was originally a right-hander, and his left hand was more clumsy than that of ordinary people. ”
But yesterday I came to the courtyard of the scholar and saw his body salvaged. But he is holding the prince's jade pendant in his left hand, a person like him who is weak in his left hand, if he really picks up the key clues and doesn't keep them well, how can he let his hand that he is not good at holding, isn't he afraid of being lost. ”
But then I figured out that the boy must have been killed before he was covered up by throwing his body in the well. I've heard people say that if they die for a long time, they will become stiff everywhere on their body," Feng Xiaoyue said, not forgetting to glance at Qian Shangshu from the corner of her eye.
"Maybe someone deliberately planted it and stuffed it in his hands, and after the corpse stiffened, he didn't drop the jade pendant in the well, but salvaged it with the corpse and called the people in Qian Shangshu's mansion to find it."
"What the crown princess said is true, Your Majesty is indeed possible." Shangshu of the Criminal Department often deals with these things, and he understands it best.
