Chapter 142: Truth 2
"Someone! Bring the murderer down! ”
With Luan Wenzhi's order, the murderer was brought up, this person was full of meat, shirtless, and the tendons and flesh on his body were very developed, judging from the outfit, he should be a butcher.
The murderer was caught in just one morning, and the prince's ability was clearly visible, and Emperor Chu looked at Luan Wenzhi with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Su Qingcheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and Luan Ziyi turned his head in disbelief, the look of shock in his eyes was undisguised, he would never have thought that Su Qingcheng would be able to catch the real murderer in such a short time.
Jiang Cailing took a closer look at the murderer's face, her eyebrows twitched, her apricot eyes were dyed with ease, she reached out and gently tugged at Su Qingcheng's sleeve, and said in a lip voice, "Don't talk for a while, leave everything to me." ”
Su Qingcheng didn't know why Jiang Cailing was so confident, but he still chose to believe her and nodded slightly.
Luan Wen was dressed in a tall and clean attire, knelt on one knee on the red carpet of the main hall, and said loudly, "Back to my father, this person is the real murderer Zheng Butcher in this post house serial murder case, and he himself also confessed to his murder. ”
"Wen Zhi has worked hard." Emperor Chu's eyes flashed with relief, and at this time, Empress Chu walked in gracefully, with a gentle smile on her face covered with delicate makeup, "Your Majesty is serious, it is his honor for Wen Zhi to share your worries." ”
Aiwu and Wu, Emperor Chu looked at Empress Chu's eyes and did not have the coldness of the last banquet, and beckoned quite satisfied, letting Empress Chu sit beside him.
The family was reunited, happy, and Su Qingcheng, who was kneeling on the ground, gradually clenched his hands into fists. Jiang Cailing knew the bitterness in Su Qingcheng's heart, seeing that her father was very fond of others, and the induction of blood could not be ignored, she sighed slightly in her heart, after these few months of getting along, she could clearly find that Su Qingcheng was an extremely fragile person, especially in terms of emotions.
Worried that his subtle movements would cause criticism, Jiang Cailing raised her hand and put her palm on the other party's hand, wanting to calm him down. Unexpectedly, Su Qingcheng reacted greatly, her long and thick eyelashes shook, and a good-looking handsome face turned to her side, and the emotions surging in her eyes made Jiang Cailing stunned for a while, with hidden anger, resentment, contradictions, and trust that gradually spread in her amber eyes.
"The Ten Princes and the Ten Princesses are very affectionate." The voice of the Empress Chu came, and this mention made the anger of the Chu Emperor suddenly rise again, and said coldly to the three Su Qingcheng who were kneeling on the ground, "How can I have a waste son like you, day by day I don't know that sharing worries for me will only add chaos." Now that you have learned to disobey the yang and the yin, and do not report the knowledge, you have time to learn more from the prince! This time, I don't think you should be a bully for the sake of the prince, but the death penalty can be avoided! ”
When Empress Chu heard this, as if she had suffered some great grievance, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Chu guiltily, "It's all the concubines who are not good, Ziyi and Qingcheng's mother and concubine have gone early, and the concubines should take care of them." ”
"You don't have to speak for them, fortunately the dead are just civilians this time, but if you come to die in my land, I am afraid that the other four countries will take advantage of this to make trouble and raise troops to attack!"
Obviously, after the "kind words and persuasion" of the Empress Chu, the Chu Emperor became even more angry, and the half-length black beard stood up in anger.
When the words landed, Jiang Cailing felt Su Qingcheng's clenched fists trembling slightly under the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but flash a trace of compassion.
When he raised his head again, his face returned to the arrogance and arrogance of Yunyang, slowly lowered his head, and said lightly with red lips, "Your Majesty, can you allow Yunyang to dare to ask?" If Yunyang asks badly, he will voluntarily receive the same punishment as the two highnesses. ”
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, "What do you have to say!" ”
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Yunyang has been very fond of reading the murder cases circulating in the market since he was a child, and Yunyang has also heard a little about the case in the post house, and he is very interested, and he has also checked it on the spot. This murderer can be described as cautious, leaving almost no clues at the scene, and asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make it clear, you said that Butcher Zheng was the murderer of the two people in the post house, so what grievances and hatreds are there between them, why did he kill them, and how did he commit murder in the heavily guarded post house? ”
At the end of the words, Jiang Cailing raised her eyes to look at Luan Wenzhi, and said quietly, "Yunyang's curiosity is too heavy, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to teach and meet Yunyang's small request." ”
Luan Wenzhi was still smiling and explained. It was nothing more than that Zheng Butcher used a cart to transport pork to throw the first deceased person in the post station warehouse, and then because the second resident witnessed the murder, Zheng Butcher sneaked into Mei's room and killed him by pretending to be a partner.
Jiang Cailing sneered, attracting the attention of everyone in the main hall, walked up to Zheng Tuhu, leaned over and smiled, "You are amazing, you can come freely in a place where heavy soldiers are strictly guarded, it's a pity to die." If you can really get out of the way as you say, then you will be a rare genius, and if you can teach more soldiers like you in the barracks, it will be as easy as picking up the enemy's head! ”
Luan Ziyi frowned and said, "This matter is about human life, how can you be allowed to mess around here!" ”
"Your Majesty, if this person really harbors a genius, you can reuse him and can't help but help my Chu Guoyun, and it will definitely become a good story in the poetry book. But if you think what Yunyang said is wrong, then it should be regarded as Yunyang's words, and please punish Your Majesty! With that, Jiang Cailing knelt on the ground again, looking dejected.
Emperor Chu pondered for a while, then suddenly nodded, "This is a way, Zheng Butcher, I will give you a chance, if you really have this ability, I can't help but spare you from dying and make you a general, specifically responsible for training soldiers with this ability." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Butcher was so frightened that his eyes were about to fall, and he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes kept looking at Luan Wenzhi. After being secretly kicked by Luan Wenzhi, the whole person was like water without a support point, and he collapsed on the ground.
When Emperor Chu saw this, his eyes sank, "Zheng Butcher, what's going on?" ”
Jiang Cailing smiled coldly and said loudly, "Because, those two people committed suicide at all!" ”
The hall was very empty, and Jiang Cailing's voice echoed in the hall, over and over again.
Luan Wenzhi was suddenly shocked when he heard this: he obviously handled it well, how could she know this?
However, as the master of the East Palace, Luan Wenzhi's surface was still hidden in a gentle and elegant disguise, as if he had heard a funny joke, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, "The imagination of the ten brothers and sisters is really too rich!" ”
"Really?" Jiang Cailing raised the corners of her lips, "Although I don't know why these two people messed up the room before committing suicide, their bodies betrayed them. What is the truth, Your Majesty must be very curious, right? ”
This matter turned around, and Emperor Chu, who claimed to be the first emperor of the ages, was also a little dazed, and his triangular eyes held a sharp light, "Go on." ”
"Yes." Jiang Cailing stood up and instructed the guards guarding the main hall, "Go and carry the bodies of the two deceased to the front of the palace, and ask Your Majesty to see it for yourself." ”
Previously, Su Qingcheng specially ordered people to put the bodies of the two people in the ice coffin before the matter was revealed, and when they were brought up, the wound on the neck was not rotten, and it was still clearly visible.
Jiang Cailing's red lips opened lightly, "If it is really as the confession of Butcher Zheng said, the two deceased who were strangled with hemp rope, then the deceased must have resisted desperately, so much so that he left traces on his neck that he wanted to get rid of the rope." It was evident that there was nothing on the deceased's neck except a clear strangulation mark. ”
"How do the ten brothers and sisters know that the deceased will definitely resist, and besides, Butcher Zheng is the one who kills pigs and slaughters meat, and his strength is naturally great, so it is understandable that the deceased did not have time to break free."
Jiang Cailing unbuttoned a button on her clothes, and the shocking marks on her fair and slender neck were still there, and there were traces of vertical struggle on the blue and purple strangulation marks.
Empress Chu gasped and spoke, "Yunyang, what's wrong with you?" But the city hurt you? ”
"This is the injury suffered when the case between Yunyang and His Highness Ten was repeated, at that time, His Highness Ten imitated the murderer and was naturally a man with great strength, but when he strangled Yunyang, Yunyang resisted at the first time, so he would leave a scar on his neck. If Your Majesty and the Crown Prince don't believe it, you can find someone to try it again. ”
Emperor Chu gradually calmed down the anger just now, his eyebrow bones were very high, his eye sockets were deep, and the shadow cast covered the eyes of this emperor, and he couldn't see his emotions at all, only to hear the emperor's low and suspicious voice coming, "Based on this alone, why do you think these two people are committing suicide?" ”
"In both of the deceased's rooms, we found sawdust, and there was another abrasion on the beams of the rooms, just about the thickness of the hemp rope."
Jiang Cailing shook her head, "Although Yunyang doesn't know why they committed suicide, he has found a trace of something, that is, they have all received large and small favors from the Wang family. It just so happened that His Royal Highness also searched for the information of this Zheng butcher, and found out that Zheng Butcher's son spent a high dowry in his hometown to marry a local beauty as his wife, in order to please the future father-in-law and mother-in-law, his son also bought a four-entry courtyard with a lot of money, which is a lot of money. What's even more problematic is that Butcher Zheng's family is so poor that he won't be so generous at all! ”
Emperor Chu's eyes narrowed, and he ordered the left and right to check the matter. When they came back, they told Jiang Cailing that what he said was true.
Having said that, everything is clear and clear, someone bought Zheng Butcher to take the blame!
