Chapter 107: Everyone was shocked
Taishi Li was above the court, although he was the plaintiff, but like Baili Jiu, he gave a seat, did not need to salute, only bowed slightly to the top, and said straight to the point: "Today, the old man specially invited a witness to the scene, and what he heard and saw with his own eyes confirmed her identity as Lin Nuoya. ”
Xu Bo, the secretary of Dali Temple, bowed slightly: "Please testify." ”
The voice of the official went down, and a person walked up to the hall majestically, dressed as a guard, and knelt down calmly under the hall.
"Who's in the hall? Get your name in! ”
The man raised his head, the light in his eyes flickered, and the Yin Hall puffed up, and at first glance he was a practitioner with strong martial arts and abundant internal strength.
"The villain is the bodyguard of His Royal Highness the Prince, surnamed Ding Minghu."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not knowing how this matter was implicated in the prince's mansion.
Dali Siqing was a little cautious when asking, and thought twice: "Then do you know the person kneeling in the hall?" ”
The guard turned sideways slightly, glanced at Noah, and said with great certainty: "Yes." ”
"How do you know? From the beginning. ”
Ding Hu should have prepared his words in advance, listened to Dali Siqing's question, cleared his throat, and said: "A few months ago, about mid-May, the prince's mansion was drinking and feasting, and it was the villain's personal protection. This woman sneaked into the prince's mansion, stunned the dancing girl in the mansion, pretended to be a dancer, covered her face with tulle, and when she wanted to assassinate, she threatened that she was the daughter of Fang Kun, the chief soldier of Jiangxi, and assassinated the prince to avenge the impeachment of the family. Later, we tried our best to stop it, and we retreated in defeat, and fled from the prince's mansion, where I was missing. It wasn't until some time ago, when the Prince's Mansion had a banquet, and she arrived with the young general Baili, that the little one knew that she had turned into a concubine in the General's Mansion. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Bailijiu lowered his head and stroked an emerald wrench on his thumb, as if he was not happy or angry, and he couldn't see any expression. But in my heart, it is like a stormy wave, tumbling and turbulent.
He knew that even if what Ding Hu Shicai said was not true, it must be true, and it was not groundless. From the first time he saw Noya, the prince began to suspect Noya's identity and doubted the letter, and later met by chance in the teahouse, and learned that Noya asked Zhang Lingtong to inquire about Fang Kun's case, and he did not hesitate to kill the killer himself. That night, he immediately instructed Qin Darling to poison and set fire, wanting to put Noya to death. It is not impossible to say that Noah assassinated him.
Second, three days ago, the Taishi was on the top of the main hall, and he wanted to stop talking, it should not be because he didn't know the inside story, but after being reminded by the queen, he was afraid that he would bring unnecessary trouble to the prince by telling him on the spot and discussing, so he sang and harmonized with the queen, and won three days to destroy all the evidence of the original crime.
Wherever the three princes could think of, the crown prince and the others should have all taken care of it, so all the clues of An Ruoxi's investigation were interrupted, and it was impossible to overturn the case for the Fang family. Moreover, Noya is now guilty of one more degree, that is, assassinating the prince, which is even more unforgivable!
The two adults in the hall were also careful in judging the case at this time, and they were extremely cautious: "Ding Hu, this official asks you, according to what you said, when this woman assassinated the prince, she was masked, how can you be sure that it is her?" ”
"Lord Qiqi, this woman was only covered with tulle at that time, and her face was faintly visible. And during the fight, the veil was raised by the sword wind, and the villain was fighting opposite her, so he witnessed her true face. In the assassination, there were many guards in the palace present at the time, and her words were conclusive, and her hatred for the prince was monstrous, which was obvious to everyone. ”
Ding Hu's words directly dispelled the only doubt left in everyone's hearts, this case seems to be ironclad evidence, and there is nothing to refute.
Dali Siqing was condescending, looked at Lin Nuoya, and said loudly: "Now that everyone is there, Lin Nuoya, what else do you have to say?" ”
Lin Nuoya knelt on the ground, his heart was already turning a thousand times, he had heard from Fenglin Temple that he had lost his memory the day before, he was going to kill someone, and the good luck was uncertain. And the time and dress of his appearance in Linlang Pavilion are consistent with what this person said, and it should be true. So, is the poison in his body related to the prince?
She only groaned for a moment, and said aloud: "If this witness can truthfully answer Noah's three questions, Noah is willing to confess." ”
"Speak!"
"First, listening to what the Shicai guards said, Noya was able to retreat from the heavily guarded Prince's Mansion, which shows that her martial arts skills are good, and Noya is just a weak woman who is powerless, how to explain this?"
"That's because you ......" As soon as Ding Hu's words came out, he choked, and the conversation changed: "After you escaped from the prince's mansion, what happened, who knows?" Those who practice martial arts know that this martial art can be abolished. ”
Noya stared at him closely, and it was certain that Ding Hu must have known the reason why his martial arts were abolished, but he didn't dare to say it. In other words, the poison in his body may really be related to the prince's mansion. This is barely a bonus.
"So, second, since at the time of the assassination in the Prince's Mansion, Nuoya had fought with many guards at close range, and I went to the Prince's Mansion for a banquet, why didn't anyone ask any questions and accuse me of it, and even you had to wait for this time to come forward?"
"This ......" Ding Hu hesitated slightly: "Because I was the only one who saw your true face at that time, at the prince's banquet, although I had some doubts, but because the young general was in a high position, the villain did not dare to speak out, lest there be any misunderstanding." It wasn't until the Guanyin statue was in turmoil that the city was full of wind and rain, and the little one took the liberty to ask Li Gongzi for some clues about you, who would have thought that it would bring him death. ”
In other words, there is indeed an assassination, but whether it is Noah or not is still up for debate. If you were sure that the assassin was my Lin Noya, you would have asked for credit and rewards a long time ago, so why would you wait until now? ”
"Combined with the many doubts about you, I can be sure."
"Combined with suspicions? That's just your one-sided reasoning, and there is no real evidence! ”
Ding Hu was speechless for a moment.
"Third!" Noya became more and more aggressive: "Since when I assassinated the crown prince at that time, I was convincing and famously known as Fang Kun's daughter and a criminal of the imperial court, then after escaping, why didn't the prince order the whole city to hunt down?" But he concealed this matter, and he had to tell the truth three days after the Taishi testified against me? ”
"This ......" Ding Hu probably didn't think about how to defend this question, and hesitated for a while.
"Hmph, it's really clever and eloquent!" Taishi said coldly: "Is it your turn to question the royal family?" The crown prince is magnanimous and well-known, so he naturally disdains to deal with you. Now that all your sins have been proven, is it necessary to engage in such a battle of trapped beasts? And now the crime is one more degree, and the assassination of the prince is an unforgivable crime! Yan Yushi, Lord Xu, the evidence is conclusive, please judge the case. ”
Yan Yushi and Master Xu glanced at each other, discussed a few words in a low voice, nodded, turned around and asked Baili Jiu: "The Ninth Master should have nothing to say, right?" ”
Baili Jiu stretched tiredly and yawned long: "Are they all finished?" ”
Taishi snorted coldly, which was counted as an answer.
Baili Jiu staggered to the front of the public case, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Yan Yushi.
Yan Yushi didn't know what he meant, and unfolded it on the spot, it turned out to be a small portrait of a person, and asked puzzledly: "What's going on?" ”
"This is the day when Fang Kun's daughter Fang Nuo and Lu were born, and Master Fang asked the painter to paint a small portrait of her. Because of the draft in the palace at that time, Lord Fang handed this one to the local official in charge of the draft, hoping that his daughter Fang Nuo would be able to enter the palace to accompany him, so it was sealed in the official office. Please compare Yan Yushi carefully, can you have the same eyebrows and eyes as the people kneeling in the audience? ”
Yan Yushi and Lord Xu looked at each other, don't say that they are similar, they are very different! The figure in the painting is tall, with thick eyebrows, a jade face and a wide mouth, and a heroic spirit, where is Noya's delicate and weak appearance?
The Taishi couldn't see the appearance of the woman in the painting clearly, but looking at the expressions of the two, he knew the inside, and said coldly: "In order to cling to the royal family, there are many officials who bribe painters, deceive superiors and subordinates, and beautify the appearance of their daughters, which is not surprising. What's more, that Fang Kun was originally ill-intentioned. ”
"Then if the person in this painting is not as good as the clumsy Jing, then how can it be explained, Master Li? The civil draft is voluntary by officials, not a forced and helpless move, Fang Kun can't deliberately scandalize his daughter, right? Baili Jiu asked narrowly.
"But who knows whether this image belongs to Fang Nuo himself, the dossier may or may not be confused."
"Taishi Li is wrong again, this portrait is stamped with the seal of the yamen, name, date of birth, and identity background, but they are all clearly recorded and cannot be faked. Moreover, I have already found one of Fang Kun's long-term retinues in the barracks, and he can testify in court. ”
With the permission of Yan Yushi and Lord Xu, the official summoned, and in a few moments, a powerful man strode forward, seeing that the figure was not the person Noya saw in the barracks that day.
After the salute, the man didn't need the two adults to speak, and first reported to his home: "The villain Fang Liang is the former Jiangxi General Soldier Fang Kun's Mansion, and he was recommended to join the military camp three years ago, and now he is a grain and grass officer in Cangzhou Mansion." ”
Lord Xu didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out his hand to point at Lin Nuoya: "Then do you know the people in the audience?" ”
Fang Liang turned his head to look Nuoya up and down, shook his head honestly and said, "I've never seen it." ”
"This is collusion in advance!" Taishi Li said angrily.
"My witnesses colluded in advance, so how can Taishi Li guarantee that Ding Hu's words are not fraudulent?" Baili Jiu immediately and unceremoniously retorted.
Yan Yushi slapped his hand in shock, stopped the two of them from arguing with each other, and continued to lean over and asked, "Then do you remember what Fang Kun's daughter Fang Nuo looks like?" ”
"Miss Fang Nuo has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, her body is taller than ordinary women, and she is also handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she is six or seven points similar to Fang Kun."
