Chapter 44: Mutual Trust
Everyone was curious about the sudden change in Wei Chaohua's attitude, and they could distinguish with relish what everyone had said, which sounded extremely reasonable.
"Oh? Listen to Miss Wei's meaning, do you have other suggestions? Why don't you just say it, let's talk about it together? Shen Chenmo became extremely interested when he heard Wei Chaohua's words. looked at Shen Fubai thoughtfully, I don't know what kind of good luck Shen Fubai has, it is really interesting to be able to sit in his position smoothly, and to meet such a strange woman.
Wei Chaohua got up from where he was kneeling, his legs were a little numb but he was still able to stand up reluctantly, and Jiang Heng beside him was stopped by Wei Chaohua as soon as he wanted to help Wei Chaohua. Wei Chaohua faced Jiang Heng, looking left and right under the gaze of everyone, as if he was looking for something.
Suddenly, Wei Chaohua suddenly pulled out the sword from the scabbard that Jiang Heng was wearing on the left, as a guard, carrying a knife with him was a must.
When the sword in Wei Chaohua's hand turned around and pointed at Shen Chenmo, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and watched Wei Chaohua's movements with wide eyes. Shen Chenmo was not nervous at all, and quietly watched Wei Chaohua's next move.
Wei Chaohua didn't speak, but just brought his sword closer and closer to Shen Chenmo. The two people stood opposite each other, as if there was some tacit understanding, one gradually approaching, and the other did not move at all.
In everyone's surprise, Wei Chaohua turned the blade of the sword in his hand and turned it to Wei Mopeng, who was lying on the ground. Everyone was shocked, what did this Wei Chaohua want to do? Isn't it going to poison his deceased brother?
Wei Chaohua pointed the blade of the sword at Wei Mopeng's wound, and only said after half a sound, "Just now, the fourth prince must have clearly seen what the sword used by the commander of Chu Jiang looks, this sword is not symmetrical with Mo Peng's wound at all, and it is extremely clean, and there is no trace of blood at all. Who wouldn't use the weapon they used most often? ”
Wei Chaohua's words are reasonable and well-founded, which makes people have to believe it. Following Wei Chaohua's words, sure enough, Wei Mopeng's wound on the ground was bigger than the sword in Wei Chaohua's hand.
Shen Chenmo laughed on the side, everyone was puzzled, Shen Chenmo stopped laughing, stepped forward and took the sword in Wei Chaohua's hand and put it back in Jiang Heng's scabbard.
"Indeed, this sword is not a murder weapon. But what if there are any surprises? Or is it that Commander Jiang was afraid that the matter would be revealed, just like now, and deliberately found another sword? Shen Chenmo looked at Wei Chaohua in front of him with a smile, thinking that Wei Chaohua didn't have any ability, and this kind of problem could be easily resolved.
Wei Chaohua didn't panic at all in the face of Shen Chenmo's words, and smiled faintly, "This is the suspicion, Commander Jiang has planned everything, so what about the murder weapon?" Where are they located? I'm afraid that Commander Jiang won't be able to ask, and I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send someone to find it in person. Do you say, father? ”
Wei Chaohua deliberately amplified her voice a few points, she could see clearly last night that Wei Qingshan's sword that killed Wei Mopeng was the imperial gift he was wearing!
Sure enough, Wei Qingshan trembled a little after hearing Wei Chaohua's words again. Raising his eyes and glancing at Shen Chenmo, he saw that Shen Chenmo was also looking at him, and his heart was even more frightened, so he could only tremble and respond.
Shen Chenmo felt a burst of remorse after noticing Wei Qingshan's actions, he was clear about the ins and outs of the matter, and he also gave Wei Qingshan the idea to blame Jiang Heng, so that he could at least suppress Jiang Taifu, but he didn't expect that this Wei Qingshan really didn't know where he put the murder weapon.
If it is found out, no matter what the reason is, it will be indefensible. Jiang Heng imitated it, even if he had to steal the murder weapon, no matter who he was, he could see the beginning of the matter, and there would really be no way to end it at that time.
Shen Chenmo's psychological remorse Wei Qingshan didn't know, even more worried than Shen Chenmo, the matter of framing Wei Songting a few days ago had already made him lose face, and now that this one has come out again, I'm afraid Wei Qingshan won't be able to mix in the court in the future!
Shen Fubai looked at the situation in front of Shen Fubai, and saw that Shen Chenmo didn't speak for a long time to defend himself, and knew that Wei Chaohua had almost solved this matter.
"Someone!" As soon as Shen Fubai was about to open his mouth to send someone to find the murder weapon, he was stopped by Shen Chenmo.
"Brother Huang, there are many strange things about this matter, not only to recover the murder weapon, but also to do a lot of things. But I want to believe that Commander Jiang must be innocent! Framed! Shen Chenmo's words were sincere, as if he had just brought evidence to prove that Jiang Heng was not him at all.
Wei Chaohua snorted coldly, and Jiang Heng stood still and didn't speak. Today's events were also a big blow to him, and the people under his command were willing to become other people's eagle dogs, which made him think about it.
Shen Chenmo saw that Jiang Heng didn't appreciate it, and his face was a little unbearable, but he had no way to attack, so he could only focus his eyes on the guards just now. When the guard heard Shen Chenmo's words, he knew that Shen Chenmo had given up on him, and sat on the ground decadently, not caring about anything. After coming into contact with Shen Chenmo's eyes, there was a moment of pain.
Wei Chaohua secretly screamed in his heart, and was about to step forward to stop the guard's next move, but it was already too late. The guard spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly closed his eyes in the direction of Shen Chenmo.
Shen Chenmo was very surprised when he saw the guard's movements, "Huh? He shook his head, "It's hateful!" This person actually committed suicide without waiting for questioning, he knew that framing the court officials was a capital crime! ”
Wei Chaohua retracted his steps, raised his eyes to see Shen Chenmo's exaggerated expression, and sneered in his heart, this is not all a scene directed and acted by yourself! Otherwise, how could there be such a situation!
"Brother Huang! This man has committed suicide in fear of sin! The next verification will inevitably be very difficult, so instead of waiting here, it is better to wait for the news of the imperial brother. ”
Shen Chenmo continued, not giving others a chance to interject. Shen Fubai looked at Shen Chenmo dissatisfied, poked out such a big story, and wanted to get out of the way?
"It's already been delayed anyway, so it's better to delay more." Shen Fubai said unhappily that since Wei Chaohua was confident, then he was willing to believe Wei Chaohua, if he had been conniving at Shen Chenmo's presumptuousness, he was afraid that there would be even more trouble in the future!
When Shen Chenmo heard Shen Fubai's words, he only felt that he couldn't be dignified, and glanced at Wei Qingshan, who had been kneeling on the ground, discouraged. Wei Qingshan met Shen Chenmo's gaze and exhaled deeply.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, regarding Mo Peng's death, the minister is willing to believe that Commander Jiang is innocent. Right or wrong, all are arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince. Wei Qingshan looked at Wei Mopeng's corpse and said bitterly.
Shen Fubai still wanted to say something, but looking at Wei Chaohua's appearance that he didn't care, Shen Fubai swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"In that case, let's all disperse today. When I return to the court tomorrow, the palace will deal with this matter as soon as possible. ”
When everyone heard Shen Fubai's words, they naturally didn't have any rebuttal. looked at Wei Qingshan with sympathy, but he lost a son just because he came to hunt and sacrifice to the sky. Presumably no one can bear it, but looking at the death of the second son of the Wei family and the attitude of Shen Chenmo and others, this matter will definitely not be so simple on the surface.
But how can it be easily found out. In line with the idea that it is not about oneself and not worrying about it, everyone dispersed after seeing the excitement.
Shen Fubai walked to Wei Qingshan's side, and gently stretched out his hand to help Wei Qingshan, "You are an old minister, don't always do something unreasonable, maybe there will be a lot less trouble." ”
Wei Qingshan's body shook and answered in a low voice.
The guards beside him took Wei Qingshan's arm, Wei Qingshan looked at Wei Mopeng lying on the ground, closed his eyes, "Go and cremate the second young master!" ”
Although Wei Chaohua was surprised by Wei Qingshan's determination, he thought that the dead Wei Mopeng no longer had any use value for Wei Qingshan, on the contrary, seeing Wei Mopeng's corpse, Wei Qingshan would only blame himself more and hate himself more, so that it was better to be invisible.
Watching Wei Qingshan walk away, Wei Songting stood up with the support of Wei Chaohua and Jiang Heng, he did nothing wrong, but in the face of the death of his brother-in-law, he was more conscientious than anyone else.
Because he had been kneeling for too long, Wei Songting's feet were almost numb, Jiang Heng and Wei Chaohua put Wei Songting's arms on their bodies and walked in the direction of the camp.
Wei Songting withdrew his thoughts from what he had just done, looked at the two people who were supporting him left and right, and asked softly, "Jiang Heng, it's not you, right?" ”
Jiang Heng was still silent when he heard Wei Songting's words, and returned softly, "No. ”
Wei Chaohua's footsteps paused slightly, and he exhaled a long breath, "None of us want to see such a situation, but since it happened, we can only face it." ”
The three of them walked towards the front, and Shen Fubai looked at their backs, and a sour feeling surged in his heart. If he was strong enough, maybe Wei Chaohua wouldn't have to work so hard to take care of the people around him.
Wait until Jiang Heng and Wei Chaohua have set up Wei Songting and come out of the tent. Jiang Heng pulled Wei Chaohua to a corner and asked in a low voice, "Is it you?" ”
Wei Chaohua burst out laughing, looking at Jiang Heng's nervous appearance, "Do you think that if it was me, the fourth prince and his father would give up so easily?" ”
Jiang Heng sorted out his thoughts and shook his head, "Who's going to do it, I met you after Zishi last night, what were you doing at that time?" ”
Wei Chaohua smiled lightly and pushed away Jiang Heng's hand holding his arm, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will find out about this matter, so don't be suspicious." No matter who the murderer is, it's good that we trust each other. ”
