Chapter 52 Human Witnesses
Hurriedly climbed up and said, today's guest at home, there are too many things, and I can't update it without writing two thousand words, sorry ~~~~~ run down ~~~
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ this is the dividing line between the old and the newββββββββββββββββββββ
Luoshi Street stands tall and tall three green buildings, that is, Miaoyinfang, Yang Liuxin and Red Sleeve Move, compared with the reputation of the first two for a long time, the newly established Red Sleeve Move is a latecomer, but from the recent trend, the limelight of Red Sleeve Move seems to be getting more and more prosperous, and gradually there is a trend of the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave.
That's because the music of Miaoyinfang and the dance of Yang Liuxin always need visitors to have a little bit of passable taste, and the secret weapon of red sleeves to attract customers, beauty, is killed in all directions.
There may be men in this world who don't like music and dance, but there is definitely no man who doesn't like beautiful women.
The girls with red sleeves have always been known for their beauty, and if you enter the door and grab one at random, even if she can't sing, dance, sing, paint, laugh, or interpret smartly, but at the very least, she must be very beautiful.
Beautiful, gentle, and not pretentious, this is the characteristic of the girls with red sleeves. If you eat Gong Yu Girl's closed door soup at Miao Yin Fang, or if you can't line up in Yang Liuxin and become the lucky one who only receives Yang Xinliu girl a day, you can go to Red Sleeves to seek solace.
The girls here don't have a weird temper and never push guests out the door, if you can afford to pay.
Of course, beautiful girls are expensive, and the more beautiful girls are, the more expensive they are. However, in this Jinling City, the most important thing is to take a lot of money seriously.
Qin Panruo, who is mysterious and beautiful in the palace of King Yu, and is quite relied on, is the boss of this red-sleeved move. But she's not a courtesan, and she's not a musician, she's really just a boss.
Although she also has a beauty that is enough to turn sentient beings upside down, Qin Banruo has never publicly appeared in the Red Sleeve Move, and there will be no more than three people in the capital who know that she is the true owner of this green building.
In addition to the rolling financial resources, another lucrative income that the Red Sleeves brought to Qin Banruo was intelligence.
When people are throwing money and laughing, they are generally the most relaxed and their mouths are the most relaxed, and with a little skill, they can hear a lot of useful things.
The girls in the Red Sleeves have undergone special training to coax them to say more and talk about all sorts of things, and then write down from memory what they hear and report it once a day.
Qin Banruo spent a lot of time on this pile of unfiltered reports, reading hundreds of them every day, and then extracting useful information from them, and then tracking them down in a targeted manner.
However, this was not the only way for Qin Panruo to obtain information. In addition to the people who are still in the wind and dust field, Qin Banruo will also deliberately cultivate some smart girls and find ways to marry them into the courtier's mansion as concubines, so as to obtain more little-known information.
For King Yu, this delicate and wise woman is no less important than any of the advisors in his house, and of course he hopes that in the near future, this beautiful girl will be more than just his advisor.
This time, if Qin Banruo found out that something was wrong, it was seen from a routine report.
When a guest was laughing with the girl, he said casually: "Come out to have fun, this girl is not free to find the next girl, can't hang herself from a tree, you see that He Wenxin, in the Qinglou is jealous, his majesty?" No matter how good Miss Xinliu is, she can't afford to live up to her life, he still thinks that he can escape with Lao Tzu's father, it's really ......"
Qin Panruo, who was alert to this passage, immediately sent someone to investigate this guest, and found that he was a long history in the palace of the emperor's uncle Ji Wang, who had always been the most lustful, and on the day of the crime, he was also happy in Yang Liuxin, but he was not at the scene.
Qin Panruo's suspicions were not dispelled, and he deliberately sent someone to talk to him once, but it turned out to be an amazing thing.
Combined with some of the information he knew, Qin Banruo realized the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately went to see King Yu.
"You said that Wen Yuanbo already has an important witness in his hand, but he is just waiting for the attitude of the criminal department to hold it back?" After only listening to a few words, King Yu frowned, "Why is he so calm?" β
"Because Wen Yuanbo has lost his trust in the Criminal Department." Qin Panruo's tone was very firm, "According to the current facts of the case, there is no shortage of witnesses at all, as long as the Criminal Department has the intention of being dealt with fairly, there is no need to add more witnesses to the case, but if the Criminal Department is relieved to exonerate He Wenxin, it is useless for him to launch more witnesses, but it will make the Criminal Department prepared in vain." β
King Yu nodded slowly, "I understand, you mean that Wen Yuanbo is waiting for the Criminal Department to close the case, and if the result of the verdict disagrees with him, he will directly bring this witness to the emperor to cry injustice?" β
"Yes."
"Will the emperor believe it?" King Yu sneered, "Wen Yuanbo is hot-headed and thinks things too simply, how can you be nervous." The Criminal Department will definitely take care of the details when the case is closed, just rely on Wen Yuanbo to bring someone to the emperor and say with red lips and white teeth, what is the use? β
Qin Panruo's autumn-like eyes twitched: "Others can't, this person can't." β
When King Yu saw her solemn, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty, the scene was chaotic that day, there were many witnesses, I was negligent when I was ordered to investigate the case, and I didn't notice that among all the eyewitnesses in Jing Zhaoyin's custody, there was one person missing......" Qin Banruo pursed the corners of her mouth, and a shallow dimple flashed on her cheeks, which made her reveal a trace of charm in her serious expression, "Later, a famous Changshi in Ji Wangfu said something that made me suspicious in the red sleeves, so I checked it again, and only then did I find that it was not Jing Zhaoyin Gaosheng who missed the rumor, but this person he couldn't detain at all." β¦β¦β
"Tell me, who is this witness?"
"Lord Ji."
King Yu couldn't help but be taken aback: "Uncle Ji? β
"Yes, there were two guests in the small building where the crime occurred that day, and one of them was Prince Ji. He should be...... I witnessed the whole process of the case......"
"Oops, that's going to be hard!" King Yu's forehead was gloomy, "Although Uncle Ji Wang doesn't care about the court, he only loves the wind and snow, and he is red and leaning on the cui, but his temperament is extremely upright, as long as Wen Yuanbo begs him, he will definitely be willing to tell the truth in front of the emperor......"
"That's right. may be because he felt that there were so many witnesses and there was no need for him to come forward again, so Prince Ji took his wives and concubines to live in Hot Spring Bezhuang on the second day of the case, so he didn't know about the situation in the later trial, and there was no movement, which led to us not being able to find out that he was also one of the witnesses. β
"Alas......" King Yu fell on the chair, twisting the bridge of his nose between his eyes with his fingers, his expression was very embarrassed, "Uncle Ji is not easy to deal with, and this king can't talk cruelly to him for the son of a subordinate." If Uncle Wen Yuan really invited Uncle Ji Wang to shout for him, the criminal department would definitely not be able to please him. Seemingly...... He Wenxin can't be saved......"
"I also think so, do something and don't do something, you can't lose a big one because of a small thing." For reasons that he didn't have a good impression of a gentleman like He Wenxin, Qin Banruo didn't think this was a painful abandonment, "Even if Lord He has to use it again, it will be caused by his own son, and His Highness can't let His Highness smooth him out at any cost, right?" If he collapses for the sake of dying a son, he is not worthy of His Highness's respect for him. β
King Yu glanced at her, sighed and said: "I understand what you mean, but He Jingzhong is still useful, this son seems to be his lifeline, the only son, who is not like this?" Of course, what you said is right, you can't protect it, and you can't protect it reluctantly, this king will tell Qi Min, let him contact Ji Wangye from the side first, if Uncle Wang's attitude is hard, there is no need to force it. There is really no way to live, so there is only life for life. β
"Lord Wang." Qin Panruo's eyebrows are like a spring breeze, and he shows his way.
King Yu stretched out his hand to support the beautiful woman's fragrant arm, and said softly: "This king is fortunate to have you, and many things depend on your discernment." I discovered Xie Yu's true face a while ago, and today I stopped the mistakes of the criminal department in time, such a great achievement, how can this king reward you? β
Qin Panruo lowered his eyebrows, took a step back slightly, and broke free of the jade arm from King Yu's hands lightly, but let the soft fingertips seem to pass over his palm intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Although Praruo is a woman, she has always longed for the legend of the monarch and the minister, but she was born as a daughter, and her talent is limited, so she can't go out of the pavilion in this life." Now that His Highness has the grace to have the opportunity to serve the future Holy Lord, he is willing to do so, and he does not dare to hope for rewards. β
"If you can ascend the throne in the future, you will be my female prime minister, and the dragon bed can be divided into half of you, or is there anything you can't reluctant?" King Yu said, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "I'm afraid that you can't see it in your eyes, and you don't know." β
Qin Panruo smiled faintly, neither annoyed, nor did he mean to continue replying, but instead bowed and said in a low voice: "The matter of Prince Ji, please ask Your Highness to inform Qi Shangshu earlier." There are still some things piled up in the building that have not been handled, so I will leave first. β
Her attitude of imminent departure made King Yu's heart itch, and he wanted to be more gentle, but he really cherished this woman, and it was not good to make Meng Lang, so he had to cough, forced himself to hold his heart, and watched her go.
Soon, Qi Min, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received the news from the Yuwang Mansion. Originally, it had been discussed with the competent officer how to buy witnesses, how to re-submit confessions, and how to change the corpse grid...... In short, all the hands and feet have been done nine times out of ten, but a basin of cold water has been poured on the head.
As soon as he heard that there was also an eyewitness who was Ji Wangye, Qi Min's head suddenly turned into two big. Although King Yu meant to let King Ji's tone be probed first, Qi Min knew that it would be the same if this tone was not probed. King Ji is known to have a straightforward temperament, and besides, he is not straightforward, and he is not guilty of perjury for a gentleman who beats someone to death. Even if Wen Yuanbo didn't ask him anything, once the emperor asked him, he would definitely tell the truth.
However, since King Yu ordered that he wanted to explore, it was certainly not good to not probe it, so Qi Min took two days off and prepared to go to King Ji's hot spring villa in person.
Although before leaving, Qi Min was ready to come for nothing. But what he never expected was that this result would come so early and so quickly.
The reason why Shangshu of the Criminal Department returned in vain was not because of how hard King Ji's tone was, to be honest, when Qi Min knew that his trip was purely in vain, he hadn't seen King Ji at all.
It's not really complicated, it's just a bit of a coincidence.
Tiger Hill is a hot spring holy place, with many mountain villas, and the annex of King Ki is the largest and most comfortable one. Anyone who has a relationship with King Ji will choose to borrow this courtyard when they come to Tiger Hill.
For example, because of the free and easy wind, he and King Ji have a year-old friend.
The eldest young master of the National Uncle's Mansion, who was always very happy, the eldest prince of Ning Guofu who was a little melancholy, and the second prince of Ning Guofu who was a little depressed, as soon as the trio handed over a post outside the courtyard to ask to see him, Prince Ji immediately greeted him happily.
Although the generations are different and the age difference is a big one, King Ji, who only loves the wind and snow all his life, still retains the chic energy of his youth, and gets along with these juniors very happily, and there is no feeling of a chasm in between.
There were energetic guests, and there was another one in the middle who was his favorite Xiao Yujin, King Ji was very happy, and he set up a wine banquet for guests, and spent all day and wine, and when everyone drank to a high level of interest, of course, they talked about everything.
At the beginning, it was naturally a glamorous topic of fat and pink fragrance. Commenting on the beauties of the capital, King Ji's experience will never be less than that of the Lord of Langya Pavilion, and his eyebrows will dance when he talks about it. Yan Yujin is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and the most admired is Gong Yu of Miaoyinfang, as soon as the two started chatting, they immediately didn't speculate, and talked about Yang Liuxin from Miaoyinfang, and then talked about Yang Liuxin's murder by the way.
King Ji then said with a big tongue: "I accumulate (know) the Tao, I should ...... At that time...... Dish (in) ah ......"
Yan Yujin's eyes widened: "You...... Are you there too? How's that...... How did you get killed? β
Although King Ji's tongue is a little big, he is still very sober, not only sober, but he is also very excited, and when he was asked by Yan Yujin, he immediately painted his voice and color, as if telling a story, and explained the cause and effect clearly.
The next day, when he went out to visit other nobles in Tiger Hill, he casually spread this bloody case witnessed by King Ji as a talking point.
So when Qi Min arrived at Tiger Hill, almost all the dignitaries and nobles who came here for leisure already knew that He Wenxin had indeed killed people with his own hands, and it was Prince Ji who saw it with his own eyes......
In this situation, the matter of exploring the mouth of King Ji was meaningless, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department had no choice but to sigh secretly in his heart: "Lord He, Lord He, it's not that I don't help you wholeheartedly, it's really your son...... It's a little unlucky......"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Alas, I will only canvass plainly, but it is better to come than not to come...... Everybody votes~~~~~~~~~
