Chapter 180: Zheng Lier defects
Kang Ling stood there, the arrogance exuded by her body was even worse than usual, but because of her frank and unrestrained appearance, it was more graceful.
Yi Xiangxiang was very surprised by the change in Kang Ling's temperament, like a rude and unreasonable little girl who suddenly grew up. Although he is still uninhibited or rebellious, the disdain and indifference to the opponent shown in his bones makes people feel very dusty.
She can also understand this change, and people who are suddenly enlightened will have this temperament more or less.
As for Kang Ling himself, he suddenly understood that his stubbornness was actually quite boring. How good Lin Zhimeng is? She saw her hypocrisy and sophistication, pretentiousness and ruthlessness, she lived in everyone's imagination, and never lived the way she wanted.
So, why should I lose myself for the sake of such a person who has lost himself?
A blind eye.
Kang Ling didn't realize until today that he felt that Lin Zhimeng was a joke, and everything he did to this joke was also a joke.
Why bother? That's just an inconsequential person!
Kang Ling smiled bitterly and sighed for his ignorance over the years.
Yi Xiangxiang also heard this sigh, so she sighed in her heart, sure enough, people's growth is instantaneous.
And in Lin Zhimeng's head, Liu Yingxue was also a little surprised to see Kang Ling's indifferent attitude, after all, according to the normal situation, Kang Ling should be panicked at this time, does she have any backhand or can't rely on?
She was a little worried.
Compared with Liu Yingxue's lack of confidence, Lin Zhimeng is 100% sure of the current situation. There are all human and material evidence, and Kang Ling's murder of Lin Zhixin can't be escaped, so the next thing can only depend on the attitude of the Queen Mother.
Of course, she knows very well that even the Queen Mother can't cover up much of the current situation.
Her goal was half accomplished.
And the other half ...... It depends on whether this hot iron can be struck in time! She thought to herself.
"I was still suspicious when Luo Shi identified Concubine Kang, but now I have found physical evidence in Jinghua Palace. At this point, is Concubine Kang really not going to explain anything? Lin Zhimeng asked sadly.
In the eyes of everyone, Lin Zhimeng's current posture is indeed a character who avenges her cousin, and the incredulity and resentment in her eyes show her grief.
Xu was because she behaved so naturally that everyone began to have some sympathy for her. Or maybe Kang Ling's arrogant and domineering character has been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, resulting in although Kang Ling is in a weak position this time, no one helps her say a word.
Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths, looking at the map of Wanjiang, Yi Xiangxiang is out of the ranks.
So everyone saw Concubine An walk out, and Shi Shiran said: "Lin Guifei Niangniang, you are too naΓ―ve, with a palace maid and an inkstone, you can detain this matter on Concubine Kang's head?" Isn't that too unrigorous? Yan knows that the palace maid was not bought, and the murder weapon was not planted by her? β
Everyone nodded, and Su Jingxiang also agreed: "Although everything seems to be logical, what Concubine An said is not unreasonable, this matter cannot be recklessly decided, and it has to be investigated again." β
Although the queen's whereabouts were a mystery before, and even life and death were a mystery, because of the decree that made Song Yuan solve the case within three days, everyone also had a lot of speculation. Moreover, Su Jingxiang was the first person on the queen's side, and the new An Concubine was the queen's close friend, so in the eyes of many people, the attitude of the two of them was equivalent to the queen's attitude.
So the crowd echoed it again.
Lin Zhimeng frowned when she heard this: "Concubine Ning and Concubine An are helping Concubine Kang to make sense?" β
She knows very well that Su Jingxiang and An Concubine are in the same group, and she also knows that the other party is playing with the idea of watching a play, and she is not afraid of being watched by the play, and when she has time to make time, these two are also the people she wants to deal with. However, she was very surprised at this time, Su Jingxiang and An Concubine would jump out at this time.
Others don't know about her, but they know, Yi Xiangxiang can't come back! In her eyes, Su Jingxiang and An Concubine are not afraid.
Of course, at this moment, she could never have imagined that there would be very exciting, even desperate accidents, in interlocking lives.
Yi Xiangxiang shook her head, shook off her sleeves in a very fair posture and said, "Concubine Lin is too worried, I'm not arguing with strong words, I'm just talking about things!" If these alone can convict Kang Guifei, then I will also buy off the people around Lin Guifei Niangniang, and then stuff a murder weapon, isn't Lin Guifei also in the catastrophe? β
Everyone nodded their heads for the third time when they heard this, Yi Xiangxiang's words were indeed reasonable, and the real words were not rough.
"Concubine Kang's picture of Wanjiang is really worth it......" Lin Zhimeng mocked slightly: "Then according to Concubine An's opinion, what should I do about this matter?" β
Lin Zhimeng wanted to see what tricks this An Concubine was going to finish.
But what she didn't expect was that An Concubine didn't accept the offer.
"Lin Guifei's words are not right, if I say what to do, what can I do, then what is the Shanggong Bureau doing?" Yi Xiangxiang said, glancing at Song Yuan meaningfully.
The Shanggong Bureau is in charge of this case, and naturally it is the people of the Shanggong Bureau who have the authority to handle the case, she is just a concubine now, and she really has no position to say anything.
Song Yuan knew that An Concubine was Yi Xiangxiang, and when she heard her words, she frowned. The reason why Yi Xiangxiang said that he was framed was not completely for Lin Zhimeng, so as to relieve Kang Ling. She also partly reminded Song Yuan to deal with it impartially, because as far as the current evidence is concerned, although it clearly points to Kang Ling, it is not enough to show that she must be the murderer.
"What Concubine An Niangniang said is good, there is only the current evidence, and it really does not mean that Concubine Kang is the murderer." Song Yuan said.
She is also fair, and she did not really rush to the shelves to set Kang Ling as the final suspect because of the pressure to solve the case within three days. However, there is also an element of Kangling's status and respect, even if Song Yuan is fair, she must consider the forces behind Kangling. Without more complete evidence, she would not have been able to really arrest Kang Ling.
Luo Shi was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Li also knows about this, when Concubine Kang killed Lin Jieyu, Concubine Li was also there. β
Brushing and brushing, everyone's eyes all shot at Concubine Zheng Li'er.
Zheng Lier was wearing a pink embroidered Luo shirt today, with a pearl white lake crepe skirt underneath, and she was originally wearing a pink fox fur, but since she entered Jinghua Palace, Xu felt hot, so she took it off and was held by the palace maid Yuan'er behind her.
Yi Xiangxiang carefully looked at Zheng Lier, who was named by Luo Shi, and saw that on the latter's melon-seed-shaped white and tender jade-like face, a pair of pear vortices were slightly flushed between the cheeks, lightly smeared with rouge, so that the cheeks were polished like a newly opened Qiong flower, white and red. Her eyes were as deep as the eye could see, and they seemed to hide the brightest colors, shining with a scorching brightness.
She hadn't paid attention to it before, but this Zheng Lier is still a good beauty!
Of course, she can't be blamed for being careless, Zhao Ziqian, who has three thousand beauties in the harem, has too many good-looking ones, she really can't take a closer look at them all! Even if she and Zheng Lier had such a relationship in the past, if it wasn't for Luo Shi mentioning it today, she wouldn't have really appreciated this beauty.
At this time, it was abruptly mentioned by Luo Shi, and the panic on Zheng Lier's face was caught off guard by everyone.
Seeing this, Yi Xiangxiang turned her head slightly to look at Kang Ling, and saw that the latter frowned. So she turned her eyes to look at Lin Zhimeng again, her consternation was a little obvious, but there was some smugness in it.
Feelings: Lin Zhimeng still left such a hand! Yi Xiangxiang smiled.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zheng Li'er glared at Luo Shi as if she was angry.
Luo Shi knelt down and rushed over, vigorously dragging Zheng Lier's pearl white lake crepe skirt: "Concubine Li, you saw it at the time, Concubine Kang smashed Lin Jieyu's hand to death, but she showed no mercy at all, do you really want to defend her?" β
Seeing this, Yuan'er, who was holding the pink fox fur, quickly pulled Luo Shi away: "You let go!" The people of the Shang Palace Bureau hurriedly restrained the latter to prevent her from rushing over again.
Luo Shi didn't make any more moves, but just shouted at Zheng Li'er: "You sober up, Concubine Li, Concubine Kang can kill Lin Jieyu today to blame Lin Guifei, and tomorrow she may not be able to attack you!" Think about it, you have relied on Concubine Kang for so long, what has she really given you? Summons come and go, and you're not even as trusted as Mama Liu! β
"Kang Ling, she has no heart, she dealt with the maid when she was in the Kang family, it was extremely cruel, otherwise Siyu would not have escaped from this tiger and wolf den, but she still had to help Kang Ling do things! What she is afraid of is that once she refuses Kang Ling, she will worry about her life! β
Luo Shi cried as he spoke, and his name for Kang Ling changed from Kang Guifei to his name, and that posture made people look like they were so oppressed and bullied that they couldn't stand it, so they jumped out and bit their masters.
And everyone obviously felt a trace of hesitation in Zheng Lier's eyes.
This hesitation is a kind of understanding in the eyes of many people.
Pei Yuchen rolled his eyes and sneered: "Those who come out of a small place are so uninformed, so timid and afraid that even the words of the maid can be easily affected." Concubine Li, don't pretend, if you have it, if you don't, if you don't, what to pretend! β
Pei Yuchen didn't believe Luo Shi's words, she just felt that Zheng Lier's appearance was clearly trying to say something, but she pretended to be helpless, which really made her very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Liu Yingxue didn't care about Pei Yuchen's words, just interrupted and hurriedly asked, "What does Concubine Li know?" β
Zheng Lier glanced at Kang Ling, then looked down as if she was very scared and said, "I don't know anything!" β
But the way she bowed her head was clearly succumbing to Kang Ling's might, which made everyone even more suspicious.
"Concubine Li! Harboring a prisoner is a felony! You still have a chance to atone for your crimes, if you wait until the Shanggong Bureau sends the evidence to the three divisions, and the three divisions will finalize the case and try it, you will have no time to redeem your confession! Liu Yingxue said sharply.
Now that the evidence to identify Kang Ling is insufficient, if there is no result, the Shanggong Bureau needs to hand over Luo Shi and the inkstone to the three divisions for trial. At that time, because of Luo Shi's confession, Zheng Lier will inevitably be interrogated. But the problem is that if Zheng Lier doesn't recruit at this time, when she gets to the third division, it will not be a simple interrogation.
Pei Yuchen still wanted to complain, but was secretly pulled by Su Jingxiang, so he closed his mouth.
Luo Shi also urged Zheng Li'er: "What are you hesitating about, Kang Ling's hands are full of blood, and this malicious killing of Lin Jieyu is even more deserving!" β
"Think about Lin Jieyu's tragic situation before her death, do you still want to live under the power of Kang Ling for the rest of your life, and you are even in danger of your life, do you want to feel guilty for Lin Jieyu's tragic death for the rest of your life?"
Luo Shi's voice was obviously more scathing than Liu Yingxue's, and every word she said made Zheng Lier's expression change several times.
Finally, after a painful struggle, Zheng Lier knelt in front of Lin Zhimeng: "The concubine begged Lin Guifei Niangniang for forgiveness, and the concubine did see Kang Guifei kill Lin Jieyu with her own eyes that day, but she didn't dare to stop her because of the small situation, and she was powerless to recover it when she saw Lin Jieyu's death, and I hope that Lin Guifei Niangniang has a lot of people and understands the difficulties of the concubine." β
Although they guessed what Zheng Lier would say, everyone who heard this was still embarrassed.
Eh, what a! Yi Xiangxiang sighed.
Kang Ling sighed in the same way.
Hunting geese all day long, he was pecked in the eye by geese.
She couldn't have imagined that not only was Luo Shi bought, but even Zheng Lier, who had always been submissive to herself, was not from her side, and she was stabbed at such a critical moment!
Kang Ling remembered all the past, although Zheng Lier was on her side most of the time, but many times she still helped Lin Zhimeng secretly solve the siege, such as the last time the plum blossoms fell in Chongren Palace, Zheng Lier's performance was intriguing.
There were signs for a long time, but I didn't notice it! Kang Ling sighed again.
Zheng Lier is the owner of the Yihexuan of Jinghua Palace, and everyone knows that she is relying on Kang Ling, the lord of Jinghua Palace, and now she suddenly turned against her, which also made everyone look at her with admiration.
Of course, the vast majority of people who don't know the truth think that Kang Ling has gone too far and forced Zheng Lier to rebel.
Seeing this, Liu Yingxue secretly suppressed her smile, only to see her looking at Kang Ling angrily, looking very fair: "Concubine Kang has nothing to say now, right?" β
Zheng Lier's confession is much more useful than Luo Shi.
If it was only Luo Shi who identified Kang Ling before, even if the bloody inkstone was added, it would not be enough to convict Kang Ling. But now with Zheng Lier, who is a concubine, the amount is completely different.
Kang Ling shrugged: "Although this palace does not know people clearly, it is true that it should be recognized, but it is not something that this palace does, and this palace will not carry it!" β
"Now is not the time for Concubine Kang to be killed and not recognized!" Liu Yingxue saw that Kang Ling was still so high-profile, so she shouted angrily.
For Kang Ling's arrogance, she really can't bear it.
Kang Ling was silent, completely ignoring Liu Yingxue.
Liu Yingxue turned around and asked Song Yuan with anger: "Lord Song, the queen mother allowed you to kill Lin Jieyu, the power inspector, and now that the human and material evidence are there, why don't you take down Concubine Kang?" β
As soon as her words fell, Mama Liu took someone to protect Kang Ling: "Who dares!" β
Liu Yingxue was furious: "Are you going to do the opposite?" β
The scene instantly became tense.
Yi Xiangxiang and Su Jingxiang, Pei Yuchen and others retreated to the side with the concubines who didn't want to participate in this turmoil, while Lin Zhimeng, Liu Yingxue and Zheng Li'er formed a confrontation with Kang Ling, so the scene quickly formed a three-legged trend.
Obviously, among these three waves of forces, Lin Zhimeng is naturally the most prosperous and Kang Ling is the weakest.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at the situation in front of her, and she opened her mouth again: "No matter what Concubine Kang says, she is also the lord of the first palace, even if Lord Song gets the queen's decree, it is not a trivial matter to investigate and deal with a concubine." Regardless of anything else, let's just say that even if the queen mother is here, she has no right to take down Concubine Kang Guifei directly, so I really want to know where Concubine Hui got the power? β
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even if Concubine Kang is the head of the first palace, she should be punished for mutilating Lin Jieyu!" Liu Yingxue looked reasonable.
Yi Xiangxiang wanted to speak again, but Kang Ling interrupted her.
I only heard Kang Ling say to Lin Zhimeng: "Do you want to be like this? She narrowed her dangerous eyes and looked deeply at Lin Zhimeng.
Kang Ling now knows very well that whether it is Liu Yingxue, Zheng Lier, or Luo Shi, they are all Lin Zhimeng's pawns. With her words, she didn't ask anyone else, only Lin Zhimeng.
Lin Zhimeng said: "I don't understand why Concubine Kang would do this to her heart, and it is not what I want things to be." But Xin'er is my sister, no matter what, I, as a sister, have to get justice for her! She pretended to be surprised and heartbroken, and then said to Song Yuan: "Lord Song, please be sure to investigate according to the law!" β
After all, Song Yuan is a person who has handled many cases, and she has a basic sense of smell for any case, and she felt that this matter was a little smooth and weird from the beginning of Luo Shi's confession, and then Li Concubine suddenly jumped out to identify Kang Guifei together, which made her feel incredible.
She hesitated.
But despite this, she couldn't help but respond to Lin Zhimeng's words.
"Concubine Lin Gui Niang, rest assured, the lower officials will deal with it impartially!" She said and said to everyone: "Since this time has alarmed all the mothers, please be a witness together." β
Pei Yuchen first asked, "How to witness?" β
"This matter involves Kang Guifei Niangniang and Concubine Li's Niangniang, and the matter is very serious, and Song Yuan is no longer convenient to interrogate alone. Please ask all the ladies to move to Ci'an Palace with Song Yuan, and ask Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning to send someone to invite the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan and Shengshang, and move to Ci'an Palace to inquire about the case with the Empress Dowager Xiao'an. β
In the palace, Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue and Concubine Ning Su Jingxiang are now in charge of the palace power, and it is very reasonable for Song Yuan to ask them to invite the Holy Lord and the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan.
Yi Xiangxiang examined Song Yuan again, Ci'an Palace is the territory of the Empress Dowager Xiao'an, and the Empress Dowager Xiao'an is Kang Ling's aunt, so the latter will not resist going to Ci'an Palace. And Song Yuan invited the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan and Zhao Ziqian, which also eliminated the possibility that Lin Zhimeng was worried that the Empress Dowager Xiao'an would favor her niece. It has to be said that this is a neutralization acceptable to both sides.
Song Yuan is really smart! Yi Xiangxiang thought so.
Sure enough, Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling both accepted Song Yuan's arrangement, and everyone moved to Ci'an Palace.
And no one noticed, An Concubine's sedan chair walked slower and slower, and when she turned the corner, she broke away from the line going to Ci'an Palace.
