Chapter 68 proves the murderer by fraud

"Wait, Lord Yan, don't say that this matter is not Ning's doing, just say that you and I are both second-grade courtiers, without the will of the saint, you have no right to cure Ning's crime at all, so Lord Yan still don't want to play majestic in front of this general, this general is not a soft persimmon that you can handle!"

Xu Mengmeng's face quickly turned cold, no matter what the final result of this matter is, just like this Yan Zhengming said, he is indeed to blame for the current matter, and he will have to face the accusations of the world's masters in the future, and he can't even wash his name!

What a poison plan to kill two birds with one stone! She didn't expect that the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would give herself such a big game of chess, this is to let herself completely tear her face with the Seven Princes, not to mention, but also to think about losing a little meat from the two of them!

Before, she was still wondering why Sima Wei asked her to find out the cheater and hand it over to the Criminal Department, at this time, seeing Yan Zhengming who appeared here so soon, what else did she not understand, dare to love that Yan Zhengming is also the person of the Seventh Prince!

And it is indeed no coincidence that Yan Zhengming was able to come over so quickly, since Ning Jun asked people to hand over the two people with entrainment to him, after listening to the statements of those two people, he still didn't understand that these two people were framed by others, and he was worried that the others would be in trouble again, so he hurried over, but as soon as he arrived, he heard that many people had accidents one after another, and then he saw that several of them were people who were favored by the Seventh Prince, and he was in a hurry.

"Ning Jun, you ......" Yan Zhengming was directly so angry by Ning Jun's attitude that he couldn't speak.

Xu Mengmeng didn't have the heart to care about him at this time, she was now thinking about who to use to blame, that's right, after thinking that all this was the emperor's handiwork, she knew that if she couldn't pull a person from the Seven Princes' camp to be the substitute ghost, she was afraid that the substitute ghost would have to be herself.

"Lord Yan, Ning will find out about this matter, so I won't worry about you, please go back!" After Xu Mengmeng finished speaking, he took several doctors into the examination room, and asked them to check other people's tea and other things one by one, and finally found that the poison was not in the water, but on the cup where the tea was drunk.

"Come on, go and bring me the person in charge of cleaning up the examination room and the person in the back kitchen!" Out of the door of the Tribute Courtyard, Xu Mengmeng directly asked people to move a chair and sit down outside the Tribute Courtyard.

It didn't take long for his soldiers to bring people over, three men and one woman, the woman was a middle-aged cook, and the three men were all young men.

Most of the people love to watch the excitement, and there are already a lot of people around before the trial starts, and this is exactly what Xu Mengmeng wants.

The four of them were escorted by the sergeant so frightened that their faces turned white, and when they looked up, they saw that the "silver-faced Hades" was sitting in front of them leisurely peeling off their fingernails, and suddenly their legs trembled so much that they were almost unable to stand on their feet. The crowd whispered, and suddenly a pair of sharp eyes swept over, and the onlookers were so frightened that they quickly silenced, and the silence spread silently, fear eroding the hearts of the four.

Xu Mengmeng peeled her nails for a while, feeling that they should be almost frightened, before she took out the dagger on her waist and trimmed it, and a long and cold voice came out of her mouth:

"As for me, I don't like to waste time, my heart and blood are cold, I only give each of you a chance, so you have to think about it before you say it, if the answer satisfies me, I will let you go, if you dare to play tricks on me here, then when I find out the truth of the matter, then I can only ask you to help me try the ten tortures I just researched one by one!"

"Liujin, you take some people to the major pharmacies in the city to check and see who has bought that poison in the last few days? Go ahead! Who the hell is poisoning those candidates' cups? After Xu Mengmeng glanced at Liujin, he sat up straight and looked at the four people kneeling below.

"It's not me", "It's not me", "It's not me" Several people were stared at by Xu Mengmeng's sharp gaze, their bodies kept trembling and shrinking, and they shouted with shaking their lips.

Xu Mengmeng's eyes swept over the expressions on their faces one by one, and he didn't see any difference, but there was still a difference between his eyes and some subtle movements, and he found the person in the know almost immediately.

Xu Mengmeng walked straight to the young man who knew about it, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, looked into his eyes and said, "Since they all say it's not themselves, let's start with you!" ”

After the words fell, Xu Mengmeng put the dagger on the other party's face and said softly: "Seeing that you and I are about the same age, your face still looks a little handsome, why don't we change them?" I'm tired of the mask on my face! ”

The dagger kept gesturing at the man's face, and she murmured curiously as she gestured, "This is the first time to skin someone, where should I start?" How thick should I peel it? ”

Hearing her words, the calm look on the young man's face finally disappeared, and he subconsciously took a few steps back and knelt down suddenly:

"The adults spare their lives, and the small ones are recruited, right...... It was the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion who asked the little one to do this, and he lied to the little one that it was just a laxative, and the little one really didn't want to harm people's lives! ”

"Lord Zhao? Which Lord Zhao is it? ”

"It's Lord Yin Zhao Jing Zhao of the Capital Mansion! The little one really didn't want to hurt anyone, so I begged the adults to ......."

"Nonsense, Lord Zhao is an upright person, how could he do such a thing that loses his conscience, I think it is clear that you deliberately framed him, you poisoned him first, and then framed Zhongliang, I will kill you now, so that you don't have to talk nonsense here!" Without waiting for the young man to finish speaking, Yan Zhengming drew his knife and slashed at him.

"Lord Yan, Your Majesty has entrusted me with the security of the scientific expedition, and now that Ning has finally caught the murderer, and the interrogation has not been completed, you can't wait to kill him, what do you want? Didn't you want to obstruct the official from finding out the truth? Xu Mengmeng drew his sword to block Yan Zhengming, and his voice became more serious and cold.

"Ning Jun, you...... He is clearly slandering the court officials! Yan Zhengming shouted unwillingly.

"Lord Yan, you are so impatient and irritable, could it be that you usually interrogate prisoners like this? It's a big injury, Lord Yan is not too young, how about I give you an easier errand for the emperor for my lordship? Xu Mengmeng said with sincere concern.

"No need, thank you General Ning for your kindness!" Excited by Ning Jun's words, the impulsive Yan Zhengming immediately came to his senses, withdrew his long knife, and coldly shook his robe and stood aside.

"Come on, go and invite the housekeeper of Lord Yin Zhao's family in the capital mansion!" Seeing Yan Zhengming honestly standing aside, Xu Mengmeng turned around and sat back on the chair, waiting quietly.

The Gongyuan of the scientific expedition and the mansions of most of the Beijing officials were in the east of the city, and Xu Mengmeng's people brought people back after a long time, and it was a middle-aged man who was brought back.

"You are the housekeeper of Lord Yin Zhao's family in the capital mansion? Who gave you the courage to buy the personnel of the Tonggong Academy and poison the people who participated in the scientific expedition? Xu Mengmeng looked at him and shouted.

"Adult, small wrong!" The middle-aged butler fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

"Wronged? Do you know how serious the consequences are this time, more than 20 people, including Ma Yuchuan and your son-in-law, were all poisoned and their lives were in danger, and even the guys from Jirentang came forward to identify you to buy medicine, and the human and material evidence is there, how can you quibble? ”

"No, it's impossible, that medicine was obviously bought in Tongji Zhai, Sun Er, I obviously told you that you were not allowed to drug Gongzi and Ma Gongzi, why were they poisoned?" The middle-aged housekeeper's originally calm face changed suddenly after hearing Xu Mengmeng's words, and he picked up the guy on the side and shouted.

"Lord Yan, you must have understood what you just said, right? Someone came and escorted them both down! Xu Mengmeng glanced at Yan Zhengming, who was stunned, with a smile, and pointed to the two of them.

"My lord, you said that as long as the little one told the truth, you would spare the little one!" Sun Er struggled to look at Xu Mengmeng, who spoke up, with a look of anticipation.

"I said I would spare you, but the law of the country didn't say it would spare you!" Xu Mengmeng explained without any emotion.

"No, my lord, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore......" Sun Er's voice gradually faded away, but the hustle and bustle of the crowd was still lively.
