Chapter 358: You still dare not kneel
When Mu Qingnuan walked in, in addition to Xu Pingmei, the head of Dali Temple, who was sitting at the top, and the officials who stood on both sides with a solemn face, there were ......
The corpses that were directly displayed on the ground were eleven in all, each with a white cloth on it.
And there were three people standing next to the corpses, Mu Qingnuan looked at their outfits, and knew that these three people should be the post-mortem work.
Not to mention the solemn atmosphere is enough to make an ordinary woman weak and cry in fright, how can the eleven corpses placed here now not be a shock, a dismount?
However, Mu Qingnuan just glanced at it and withdrew her eyes and looked at Xu Pingmei.
Xu Pingmei is more than forty years old this year, with a Chinese face, expressionless, and not angry and self-assured.
"Bang!" The sound of the wood was shocked, and everyone was shocked.
Mu Qingnuan still stood straight, and her eyes never dodged.
Xu Ping frowned, and slapped the shocking wood again, "Mu Qingnuan, why don't you kneel?" ”
"Why should I kneel?" Mu Qingnuan asked rhetorically.
"When you enter this Dali Temple, all identities and statuses will be left out. Now you are not the future princess Xuanyou, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or the granddaughter of General Ye, but just the suspect Mu Qingnuan who is suspected of murder. Do you still dare not kneel? ”
"Murder suspicion? I wonder who the adults mean I killed? ”
Xu Ping frowned and ordered the officials guarding the side, "Open it." ”
Then he saw that the white cloth that had covered the corpse on the ground was lifted......
The face was blue, the seven orifices were bleeding, and the mouth was foaming at the mouth, and these eleven people were clearly poisoned.
There is also a pair of pairs that bulge out, almost bursting, and they are clearly dead.
"Half a month ago, you took a carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion and were thrown stones in public on the street. Later, Ma Jing almost died. whereas
Of the eleven, seven of them were the ones who threw stones at your wagon, and the other four were the ones who nearly died under your wagon. Now you dare to say that you are not suspected of murder? ”
"It's just because they threw stones at my carriage, and your lordship said that I killed them, could it be that the ability of Dali Temple Zhengqing to judge cases is so arbitrary?"
"Bang!" The shocking wood was slapped again, and Xu Pingmei was still expressionless, "The official is saying that you are suspected of murder, how can you be arbitrary?" ”
Mu Qingnuan pursed her lips, "These seven people threw stones at me because they were bewitched by those rumors in the capital, so naturally I won't bother with them."
If I had been careful, I would have reported them to the police and arrested them in jail that day. Committing murder against the future Princess Xuanyou in public, this crime is enough to sentence them to death.
But I didn't. That being the case, I was able to let them die without much effort that day, so why did I let them go until now, and then I was summoned by the adults and said that I was suspected of murder?
And these four men, who were frightened by the seven men who threw stones at my carriage, almost killed the innocent people, the four men, under the hooves of my horses.
It was these seven that caused my horse to be frightened, and in that case, if these four really had died under my horse, my reputation would have been more unpleasant, but the sin would not have been on me.
Even if I didn't save them, no one would have been able to hold me accountable for murder, but I asked my coachman to save them. Even afterwards, because I was worried that these people would be frightened and sick from nightmares, I asked my coachman to find a doctor for them and take care of them......"
