Chapter 167: Testimony, the culprit

In the afternoon of the next day, Wan Yanlu came to King Xuan's Mansion as promised.

Hearing the report of the subordinates, Shen Qianmo, who was squinting on the recliner in the backyard garden, sat up and smiled at Baili Xiao and Ye Qinglan on the side: "You two will go with me to meet Prince Wanyan." ”

Baili smiled and came to him, puzzled: "Brother Xie, should you really want to treat the injury of that unkind Wanyan Li, right?" ”

Such precious saline and distilled water were used on the sinister Prince Beidi, and he was really a little reluctant.

Shen Qianmo got up from the recliner with Ye Qinglan's support, glanced at Baili and smiled, but only smiled silently.

Walking into the flower hall, I saw that Wan Yanlu was already sitting on the seat in the hall, but he was wearing a black hat on his head, and a layer of black veil was covered under the brim, which made his face hazy and vaguely difficult to distinguish. The two Beidi guards stood on his left and right, both tall and burly, with fine eyes, and at a glance they knew that they were strong martial arts and profound internal strength.

Baili smiled when she saw Wanyan Lu's dress at first glance, and couldn't help laughing, and said to Ye Qinglan: "Senior Sister Qinglan, what's wrong with Prince Wanyan, why is he still wearing a hat in the house, isn't it unsightly?" ”

Ye Qinglan raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Lu, and spit out a few words expressionlessly, "I was hurt by poisonous insects." ”

"Poof...... Baili Xiao just drank a sip of tea in his mouth, he coughed a few times, looked at Wan Yanlu who was covering his face with a hat on the opposite side, and couldn't help but smile...... What a nice place, haha......"

Wan Yanlu clenched his hands into fists, although he couldn't see his expression with a hat, Shen Qianmo also imagined that the prince of Beidi in front of him must have distorted facial features at this moment, and his eyes breathed fire.

It's just that Shen Qianmo didn't intend to stop Baili Xiao's deliberate mockery at this time. At the wedding banquet that day, he wanted to embarrass Meng Yuanheng in public, but she remembered it vividly.

When it comes to holding grudges, she is actually even worse than Meng Yuanheng, and she has never been polite to those who intend to hurt the people she loves, or those who have touched her principles and bottom line.

"Senior Sister Qinglan, the toxicity of this evil beetle is not ordinarily powerful, didn't you see the arm of the prince of Yanping, the skin and flesh on it are all rotten, you said that if the flesh on Prince Yan's face is also rotten, what will it look like?" Bailixiao deliberately shuddered and said, "Tsk, it's terrifying to think about......"

"Faceless monsters." Ye Qinglan's tone was flat, and she spit out four words seriously.

"Poof......" Baili laughed and couldn't help but squirt out another sip of tea, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's these four words, haha......"

The corners of the two guards standing behind Wan Yanlu twitched, and their indifferent facial features were slightly distorted, obviously holding back a smile. But Wan Yanlu couldn't bear it anymore, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Princess Xuan, this prince is not here to listen to this kid's nonsense!" ”

Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Oh, then Prince Wanyan really came to Xuanwang's Mansion to treat his injuries?" In this way, please ask the prince to take off his hat, so that the princess can look after your injuries. ”

Wan Yanlu exhaled deeply, as if he was forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "This prince wants to talk to Princess Xuan in private. ”

Shen Qianmo smiled and said to Baili Xiao and Ye Qinglan: "It seems that Prince Wanyan is still a little shy, since this is the case, you should go out first." ”

"Brother Xie......" Baili smiled uneasy, and just wanted to raise an objection, but was pulled out by Ye Qinglan.

Even if you go out, you can guard outside the door, not to mention that this is the Xuanwang Mansion, and there are dark guards and shadow guards everywhere.

The two guards brought by Wanyan also retired. There are only two people left in the flower hall, Shen Qianmo and Wan Yanlu.

Sitting on the main seat, Shen Qianmo was not in a hurry to speak, just lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put the tea bowl on the table, and then raised his eyes to look at Wan Yan Lu, who was sitting on the left side, covering his face with black veil, and said indifferently: "I don't know if Prince Wan Yan has ever heard such a sentence, don't do dark things in front of bright people, and don't tell lies in front of real people." ”

"What does Princess Xuan mean by this?" Wan Yanlu's tone was very impulsive, but there was a trace of nervousness inexplicably.

Shen Qianmo chuckled lightly, but her lips were disdainful, "The hibiscus worm on the prince's body can repel poisonous insects, and you won't be injured by the evil beetle at all, so the prince doesn't have to hide it so much in front of this princess." ”

The few traces of sandalwood that she smelled in Wanyan Law's room yesterday were very faint, although they were very faint, obviously Wanyan Lu had already tried to deliberately remove them, but Shen Qianmo had always been extremely sensitive to smells, so she sniffed out. Last night, she flipped through Old Man Duan's medical book, and finally remembered that the smell was the smell of a herb called "Hibiscus Ai" that Old Man Duan had planted in the Baicao Hall on Wuji Island.

And hibiscus mugwort is a good herb to repel poisonous insects.

Hearing this, Wan Yanlu's body stiffened obviously, and after struggling for a while, he finally raised his hand and slowly took off the hat on his head.

A face with deep facial features and well-defined outlines is blue and white at the moment, and his face is extremely ugly.

Sure enough, as Shen Qianmo expected, Wan Yanlu's face did not have a wound from a poisonous insect bite and festering, but there were three thin strips of blood that had already scabbed across his left cheek, which were extremely conspicuous.

Seeing this, Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled even more lightly. "The person who released poisonous insects in Fengming Mountain to assassinate the Nanchen horses...

"Nonsense! You have no basis to open your mouth and slander the prince of a country, who will believe it? Wan Yanlu stared at Shen Qianmo with gloomy eyes, his face distorted and full of resentment.

He is not a fool, he naturally knows in his heart that the woman in front of him, who is always gentle and smiling but is not easy to deal with, seems to have seen through her secret when she was in the other courtyard yesterday.

If it weren't for that, how could he come to King Xuan's Mansion today, and be ridiculed here with his dignified princely dignity!

It's just that now Nan Chen's horse died violently, the prince of Yanping is in a coma, and his sixth brother who hides a knife in his smile has been looking for his stubble. Events had gone far beyond his original expectations, so he could not admit it easily.

I shouldn't have shown any flaws, maybe it's just this woman bluffing. Wan Yan Lu still has a bit of luck until this moment.

Shen Qianmo said with a smile: "This princess will say this, naturally there is evidence. The carcass of the horse was bruised all over, except for the wound from the bite of the poisonous insect, the other injuries were indeed not easy to see with the naked eye, but they could be detected. If there is a bleeding wound under the skin, there will be a swelling and bulge in the area, and there will be a hard feeling when touched with the hand, and the shape of the injury will reflect the shape of the contact surface of the injured object, from which the shape of the murder weapon can be inferred. I examined the carcass of the colt, and there was a meniscus swelling in the crook of his left leg, and the shape of the wound was ...... It is very consistent with the tips of the boots worn by Prince Wanyan's feet. ”

At the autopsy yesterday, she couldn't figure out what kind of murder weapon could cause the half-moon-shaped wound in the crook of Nan Chen's left leg, until she saw his boots on top of the collapsed edge in Wan Yanlu's room, and she suddenly realized.

Wan Yanlu let out a few sneers after hearing this, and said disdainfully: "Haha...... It's just nonsense, just based on a small wound, Princess Xuan concluded that the prince was the murderer, is it too hasty? ”

Shen Qianmo's expression did not change, and said indifferently: "I have sent someone to verify that among the few people in Fengming Mountain that day, the shoes worn by Nan Chen's horse and the prince of Yanping were not pointed-toe boots, and the shoes worn by the guards were round-toed boots, so they wore pointed-toe boots at the foot of Fengming Mountain that day...... There is only Prince Wanyan alone. ”

Wan Yanlu's face changed, and he just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but Shen Qianmo didn't give him this opportunity, and continued to say: "That day in the cave of Fengming Mountain, you took advantage of Nan Chen's unpreparedness and kicked him in the back, and that kick happened to be in the crook of his left leg, and the horse was kicked out, hit the cave wall and bounced back, so there were large bruises on his elbows, forearms and palms. The horse was unsuspected, and you kicked him to the ground, so you took the opportunity to put the poisonous insect on the horse, and the horse was kicked in the knee and could not get up for a while, and in a hurry, he grabbed your hands and scratched your face. ”

"You designed to use poisonous insects and evil beetles to assassinate Nan Chen's horses in Fengming Mountain, and you have three intentions, one is to excuse yourself, and the other is to provoke the dispute between Xiliang and Nan Chen, this is the third...... Naturally, it is to add chaos to the discrediting of the Northwest. Prince Wanyan's move can really be described as killing three birds with one stone. ”

"After you succeeded, you hurriedly left Fengming Mountain and returned to the other courtyard, but you didn't expect that the prince of Yanping would also be bitten by poisonous insects, so your wishful thinking of blaming Xiliang came to naught, in order to avoid suspicion, and at the same time to cover up the scars on your face, you lied that you were also bitten by poisonous insects and never saw guests again."

Without any superfluous nonsense, and without giving Wanyan Lu any chance to defend himself, Shen Qianmo spoke calmly and eloquently, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
