Chapter 41: Turning Things Around
"Okay, this king wants you to confess your sins convincingly, come, and bring witnesses. Mo Chuyun stared at her coldly, like a snake coiled on his shoulder, and he only wanted to kill her.
When they came prepared, how could she sit back and wait to be killed? Is it a chopping board? Is it a fish? Still unknown! Thinking of this, she showed a hidden smile at Mo Chu, who was eager to dismantle her, and confessed her guilt convincingly? She was still a little looking forward to it!
Suddenly, two guards from the palace escorted a young man in Tsing Yi and walked up, and the little man in Tsing Yi Yu Xuanji recognized that he was the first person to find the body of the shopkeeper Zhou.
"The grass people knock to see the prince, the prince, and the lord. The little guy in Tsing Yi fell timidly to the ground.
"This king asks you, what did Shopkeeper Zhou tell you before he died?" Mo Chu spoke sharply, but his eyes as deep as the night stared at Yu Xuanji without turning for a moment, as if he was waiting again!
He ...... He said yes...... It's Miss Three...... It was the third lady who wanted him to die. The little guy in Tsing Yi said, glancing around from time to time. Apparently very panicked.
"Huh. At that time, Yu Xuanji suddenly covered her lips and laughed, seven points of ridicule and three points of coldness.
"Yu Xuanji, what are you laughing at!" Mo Chu was furious, what kind of place was this crazy woman in this court, she was so unscrupulous.
"I laugh because what he says is funny!" she smiled, the corners of her mouth seemed to be hooked, and the shadow was like a match. The shifting eyes looked at the young man in Tsing Yi lying on the ground casually.
"Villain...... The villain is telling the truth. The little girl in Tsing Yi glanced at Yu Xuanji tremblingly, and then buried his head in horror.
"Tell me the truth, then I ask you, why do I want him to die?" She pointed to the corpse of the shopkeeper Zhou, and stared at the young man in Tsing Yi like a burning fire. It's a despicable excuse that's not only full of holes, it's disgusting.
Because the third lady was going to sell the cloth workshop, the shopkeeper Zhou couldn't bear it, so he reasoned and persuaded him, so he annoyed the third lady, which led to death. The shopkeeper of the jade workshop is also a good column. The little guy in Tsing Yi stumbled.
This woman can testify that the management of the store was originally handed over to Xuanji, hoping that she would revitalize the store, but she never expected that she would sell the store, so she was murdered because the shopkeeper Wang quickly persuaded a few words. Sun Shi was very entangled and couldn't bear to glance at Yu Xuanji, and then said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression. In fact, I was already laughing wildly in my heart.
"Hehe, since I, Yu Xuanji, am the owner of those ten shops, can I sell them or not? It's not your turn to point fingers here, as for the death of the shopkeeper Zhou, even if I forced him to die, but he killed himself! She said with a smile on her face. I chuckled as if I had heard a joke.
These people are ridiculous, her shop, she can't sell it herself?
"Yes, Xiao Jiu'er can sell it if she wants to, and she doesn't sell it to your family, so it's really salty and don't worry about eating radishes. The old man rolled his eyes and snorted. The methods used by these people to frame them are really inferior.
Hearing this, Yu Xuanji couldn't help but smile in her heart.
"No, Shopkeeper Zhou didn't kill herself, it was her, she ordered someone to hang Shopkeeper Zhou to death. When the shopkeeper Zhou came back from the Jade Mansion that night, he knew that his fate was coming, so he handed over the letter to the villain. The little guy in Tsing Yi shook his head suddenly and pointed at Yu Xuanji, his face full of righteous indignation.
"Lord Wang, there were also people in the Jade Mansion who saw Yu Xuanji follow the shopkeeper Zhou out of the door. The corners of Sun's mouth hooked up a almost invisible arc, and he took the opportunity to say.
"Bring people up. Mo Chuyun glanced at Yu Xuanji coldly, and when she saw that she finally had a panicked look, she couldn't help sneering in her heart, did she have a day to be afraid?
It is undeniable that the deepest part of his heart actually doesn't believe that she killed the person, but now her expression tells him that she killed the person, so even if she dies, this crazy woman is innocent of death.
Yu Xuanji did start to panic, but she was just pretending. She tried her best to hide her panic, but she was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, and even the old man believed that she was really the one she killed.
Could it be that this stupid girl killed her? The face of the old man sank a little.
Only Yu Xuanji watched everyone's reactions, and laughed in her heart. As soon as they sang and harmonized, she naturally had to cooperate, didn't she?
The person who witnessed her following the shopkeeper Zhou out of the mansion in Sun's mouth was Tie Laosi. Tie Lao Si swept away everyone's different looks, and knelt on the ground tremblingly.
"This king asks you, you have witnessed Yu Xuanji following the shopkeeper Zhou out of the Jade Mansion. Mo Chu asked sharply.
"Back to the prince, the villain did witness it with his own eyes. Tie Lao Si glanced at Sun secretly in the afterglow.
"Yu Xuanji, what else do you have to say. Mo Chuyun turned to look at her sharply, obviously convicting her with one word.
The accusations rolled layer by layer were like snowflakes wrapping her whole body, leaving no gaps, obviously after Sun's careful calculation, seeing that Yu Xuanji was deeply in a state of embarrassment, Sun's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Xuanji, I didn't expect it!
At this moment, even the old man's heart couldn't help but be entangled together, of course he could keep her, but Mo Chuyun, this kid is here, even if he keeps her, this stigma will not be able to be washed away in the future.
No matter how seamless Sun's calculations were, she didn't believe that she couldn't break through this web.
"Witness it with your own eyes? How can the prince believe his words!" she frowned, and instead looked at Mo Chuyun, who was eager to convict her, with all kinds of sarcasm.
"Lord Wang, the villain has physical evidence here. Tie Laosi glanced at Yu Xuanji secretly, and then hurriedly took out a delicate and peculiar jade pendant from his arms, which was glowing with colorful light under the sun.
Looking at Yu Pei, the corners of Yu Xuanji's mouth hooked slightly, this was her last move to turn things around, and it was not so easy to put her to death.
This jade pendant! Mo Chuyun's heart immediately jumped, and his eyes were full of surprise. How could this be? This jade pendant is clearly the emperor's brother's, how can it be on the body of this crazy woman?
The old man was also stunned for a moment, but after all, he was a person who had seen strong winds and waves, and then quietly regained his calmness.
Sun thought that as soon as the physical evidence came out, Yu Xuanji was "definitely going to die", but when she glanced at the expressions of Mo Chuji and the others, she couldn't help but look at the jade pendant in Tie Laosi's hand in confusion, this jade pendant, why hadn't she seen Yu Xuanji wear it before?
The corners of Yu Xuanji's mouth were slightly hooked, and a shadow passed under her eyes, this jade pendant was dropped by Mo Chuye when she was in the Induction Temple, so she told Ruyi that this jade pendant was a godsend. However, I didn't expect it to come in handy now. She frowned thoughtfully, bit her lip again, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped. Finally, after a seemingly struggle, he said in a deep way: "That night, Xuanji did leave the Jade Mansion after Shopkeeper Zhou, but the person I saw was not Shopkeeper Zhou. ”
When the words fell, Mo Chuyun could clearly see a flash of shyness on her face.
The meaning of her words was not understood by others, but Mo Chuyong knew it, what she meant was that she did not follow the shopkeeper Zhou out that night, but went to see the imperial brother! How could this be? When did this crazy woman ...... with the imperial brother
Mo Chuyun's face was very good-looking, and it felt like he had been betrayed by Yu Xuanji.
"What are you ......" Mo Chu subconsciously said, but he instantly realized that he was out of shape, so he calmed down, and said after secretly exhaling: "But does this mean that you didn't kill the person?"
Looking at Mo Chuyun's stiff face, the expression was as angry as catching his wife fornicating with someone, but he had to be hindered by the scene, Yu Xuanji couldn't help but sneer in her heart, this look of her sorry for him, but it was really ridiculous, when he did something with Yu Wanrou, why didn't he think of her? This move can be regarded as helping the original owner to avenge it!
"Naturally, it can be proved that as long as the prince invites the person who gave the Xuanji jade pendant to come. She smiled skillfully, and the clouds were light and breezy. She knew that Mo Chuye would not be stupid enough to question Mo Chuye, so she was naturally unscrupulous. This case can only be closed, and this crime will never fall on her. Who called the owner of this jade pendant, it is the emperor today!
This jade pendant was given to the imperial brother by the crescent girl back then, and the imperial brother regarded it as a treasure, even if he wanted to touch it, the imperial brother did not let it, but now he gave it to Yu Xuanji, could it be that the imperial brother and Yu Xuanji have ...... Mo Chuyun didn't dare to think about it anymore.
I can only endure it, why look at her smiling appearance now, thinking that she and the imperial brother have already fallen in love, my heart hurts inexplicably, as if something precious is being lost from the body little by little.
Do you also like this crazy woman Yu Xuanji? No! No way, Mo Chuyi, the person you love is Yu Wanrou, not Yu Xuanji.
After some inner struggle, Mo Chu stiffened his face and looked at Yu Xuanji's eyes, like a pearl soaked in time, which had been covered with a thick layer of dust by the years, unable to see through the vast sea of stars behind the dust, and unable to capture the indescribable complexity.
"No need, Shopkeeper Zhou is self-defeating, and it has nothing to do with Yu Xuanji, and this king announced that Yu Xuanji was acquitted. ”
He said this passage so difficult, I don't know if he is unwilling to let her go, or if he wants to find out the relationship between her and his royal brother.
What? Acquitted! Old Sun's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, full of disbelief, didn't Mo Chuyun say that this time he must put Yu Xuanji, a slut, to death? Why did he suddenly ...... Could it be because of the jade pendant? For a while, Sun's eyes when he looked at the jade pendant changed again and again.
There is only one step left, only one step away from convicting this slut of Yu Xuanji. Sun secretly gritted his teeth, all of them were unwilling.
Looking at Mo Chu's indescribably complicated eyes, she smiled more and more wickedly. This is what she wants, the more unwilling Sun and Mo Chuyi are, the more they want to put her to death, the more she wants to laugh, the more she wants to be alive and around.
"The prince is discerning. She was full of happiness, and the corners of her mouth were unconsciously hooked.
"Xiao Jiu'er, let's go home with my grandfather!" As soon as the old man clapped his hands, he jumped up and down to Yu Xuanji, dragging her hand like a child and was about to leave.
He doesn't care what this stupid girl has with Mo Chuye, as long as she is fine. And Mo Chuye is much stronger than Mo Chuye.
"Wait. Yu Xuanji smiled at the old man, then put his hand away, and took the jade pendant in Tie Laosi's hand into her hand, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she carefully took the jade pendant into her arms, and the corner of her mouth even contained a gentle smile that Mo Chuyi had never seen, just like the sunshine in April, gently melting people's hearts. For a while, Mo Chuyun's heart throbbed for no reason.
"Let's go. She took the old man's arm and smiled playfully.
"Huh. The old man smiled when he saw through it, and then the grandfather and grandson walked out under the stunned eyes of everyone.
Looking at Yu Xuanji's back, Mo Chu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It was as if something was quietly blurring under his eyes.
