Chapter 183: Qi Yan's trial
Lu Xiyi nodded, with a smile on his face: "If I can save Xiaomeng from being implicated, I would rather go to Jingzhao Mansion." ”
Zhong Yihan told Lord Du what Lu Xiyi meant, and Lord Du didn't want to arrest Xiaomeng, she was a child, and she would never participate in the killing of the prince of Wenguo. So, Lord Du took the officers and soldiers back to the mansion first, and Zhong Yihan took Lu Xiyi and others to follow behind.
This incident alarmed the entire capital, and the streets were crowded with people.
"Isn't this the shopkeeper of the Loose Wine Workshop, what has happened?"
"You don't know yet, I heard that Shopkeeper Lu killed someone!"
"Murdered? Who did you kill? ”
"Kill the prince of Wenguo!"
When he came to the Jingzhao Mansion, Lord Du sat in the lobby, on both sides were wolf-like officials, holding water and fire sticks in their hands, their faces were hideous and vicious, and Lu Xiyi felt like a netherworld.
Bang! Lord Du suddenly slapped the startled wood, so frightened that Lu Xiyi's head could shrink into his neck: "Who is kneeling?" ”
"Lu Xiyi, the people's daughter, is also the shopkeeper of the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop." Now that Xiaomeng has Zhong Yihan to take care of him, even if Lu Xiyi dies now, he has nothing to worry about.
Lu Xiyi is neither humble nor arrogant, but in the ears of Lord Du, he is very arrogant, if it weren't for Zhong Yihan listening next to him, he would have ordered someone to beat Lu Xiyi with twenty sticks first: "Quickly ambush you and your accomplices, shoot the prince of Wenguo, and explain it!" ”
Shoot the Prince? Lu Xiyi's eyes suddenly brightened, and when he heard this, Lu Xiyi saw hope. Because they didn't shoot the prince of Wenguo at all, Li Xiao just stabbed him, that's all, someone must have killed the prince and then framed Xiaoyao Wine.
"Returning to my lordship, the people's daughter has never shot the prince of Wenguo, and please be aware of it!" Lu Xiyi replied calmly, not afraid of it, not like a criminal at all.
Bang! Master Du hit the case again with a shocking wood: "You didn't shoot the prince, who shot the prince?" Is it also false that you have a conflict with the prince in the winery? ”
Regarding who shot the prince, Lu Xiyi wanted to know more than anyone else: "It is true that we have a conflict with the prince, but it is too far-fetched to conclude that we killed the prince." My lord, can you give us a look at the prince? ”
Lord Du was a little hesitant, pondering whether to take out the body of the prince of Wenguo and show it to Lu Xiyi and the others.
"Even if the prince of Wenguo is dead, he is more noble than you, you want to see him, hum, it's ridiculous!" The person who spoke was behind the screen in the lobby, and in the eyes of everyone, the man finally came out.
Lu Xiyi's breath was suffocated: the face of the person who came was clearly outlined, his eyes were like eagles, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, and the bridge of his nose was high, very majestic, he was Ah Leng! No...... It's not Ah Leng, it's the prince Qi Yan!
Master Du hurriedly left the chair and saluted Qi Yan. Qi Yan didn't look at Lord Du, and sat in Lord Du's position, condescendingly, looking at Lu Xiyi and the others. Bang! He knocked Master Du's startled wood again.
Is this the Ah Leng that Lu Xiyi knows? Why is Ah Leng's eyes so cold and ruthless when he looks at her? This was not the case with the old Ahlen! Lu Xiyi felt that his heart was dripping blood.
"The knife in the chest of the prince of Wenguo, was it stabbed by you?" Qi Yan asked Lu Xiyi.
Lu Xiyi nodded, since Qi Yan appeared, her gaze has never left him: "Back to the prince, the prince of Wenguo was indeed stabbed by us, but ......" Lu Xiyi wanted to tell Qi Yan that the prince of Wenguo was shot and killed, and it had nothing to do with them. Their guilt is limited to stabbing the prince of Wenguo.
"Since you have confessed, then there is no doubt that the prince of Wenguo was killed by you!" The corners of Qi Yan's mouth hooked up with pride, as long as he sentenced Lu Xiyi to death, no one would go to check how the crown prince of Wenguo died. "Whoever comes, beat Lu Xiyi and the others with fifty sticks, and then throw them into the prison and play the imperial court!"
What the? Just so hastily concluded that the prince of Wenguo was killed by the people of Xiaoyao Wine? That's too far-fetched! What's wrong with Ah Leng, don't you look at the past feelings, and you want Lu Xiyi to die as soon as you come up?
Zhong Yihan found that Lu Xiyi's eyes were already filled with tears, and his face was pale because of extreme sadness. Lu Xiyi must not have imagined that today's ending would be like this, and the person who sentenced her to death turned out to be her former best friend!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have made a hasty conclusion to the shopkeeper Lu like this, I don't know if you can convince the public?" Zhong Yihan walked out, his eyes flashing cold, "Prince, do you want to ask the audience outside to see what they think of this matter?" ”
Qi Yan turned his head arrogantly, disdainful of Zhong Yihan, and even more disdainful of Zhong Yihan's suggestion.
"Do you think Shopkeeper Lu is innocent?" Without waiting for the prince to agree, Zhong Yihan asked the people who were watching the excitement outside the door.
"Shopkeeper Lu is innocent! I saw with my own eyes that the prince of Wen was unreasonable and wanted to smash the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop. ”
"Shopkeeper Lu just stabbed the other party, so he won't die! I think someone else killed the prince of Wenguo. ”
"The prince of Wenguo often goes in and out of the land of fireworks, and it is not good to say that it is a love killing!"
Zhong Yihan asked the people about his good ideas without Qi Yan's consent, which is really infuriating! "Zhong Yihan, do you know the consequences of defending Lu Xiyi?"
If Wen sent troops to avenge the prince, Lu Xiyi would definitely not live, and then there would be the person who defended Lu Xiyi, which Zhong Yihan could not understand.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I think the death of the Prince of Wenguo is very strange, and he should check it out and return it to Lu Xiyi." Zhong Yihan said.
Qi Yan wanted Lu Xiyi to die this time, but Zhong Yihan killed him again! "Check? How to check? ”
Zhong Yihan said: "If the prince is at ease with me, please hand over the case to me, and I will definitely find out." ”
"You?" Qi Yan scoffed, he killed the prince of Wenguo, how could he allow others to find out about the matter? He knew Zhong Yihan's ability, and he couldn't take this risk. "What are you? You don't have any official position now, so why should you investigate the case? The court has the laws of the court, who does what and who can't do it, has its own rules, how can you mess it up! ”
Zhong Yihan sank his face, this prince had a holiday with Lu Xiyi, and today he came to Jingzhao Mansion in person, presumably to put Lu Xiyi to death. When the prince is out, this matter will be difficult to do.
Lu Xiyi's eyes were resentful, and he looked at Ah Leng sitting in the hall fixedly. Ah Leng ignored her and was angry with her, which had already broken her heart, and now he was going to kill her? How can this be explained? Ah Leng, who is a commoner, is cute and close, but Ah Leng, who has changed his identity as a prince, is ruthless. Can identity really make a person lose the taste of human affection?
"Someone is coming, escort Lu Xiyi and others to the prison and wait for punishment." Qi Yan slapped the startled wood, and an official sent over to arrest Lu Xiyi.
Zhong Yihan hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiaoxi is the shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Wine Shop and the royal winemaker appointed by the emperor, you arrest her indiscriminately like this, if the emperor tracks it down, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be angry?" ”
If it is estimated that the emperor is still there, Qi Yan will not appear here. He had already come up with a clever plan, and that was to cut first and then play. Kill Lu Xiyi, and then report it to the emperor. The emperor was angry at that time, and there was nothing he could do. He is the crown prince, and the emperor will not do anything to him if he is angry.
