Wei Yangyang hurriedly knelt down: "Father, this is indeed a gift from the imperial brother, but it is really just an ordinary token, and the daughter-in-law is willing to prove it." "If she can move at this moment, I'm afraid that she will pick up a knife and cut ten or eight blood holes on Shen Minghuang and his wife. But the most important thing for her now is to prove her innocence.

Emperor Jiawu was a little curious: "How do you prove yourself?" Wei Yangyang didn't care to glare at Shen Minghuang, she turned her head back to the emperor's words: "Father, my daughter-in-law has a habit: every time she wins a battle, she will leave a trophy and play with it from time to time. On her birthday, I gave her a bronze tree to hang jewelry, which was the trophy of the battle against the water demons. Destroying the water demons is the proud work of our Weijia Army. I liked the copper tree so much that I gave it to her. ”

Emperor Jiahou had seen the tree in Shen Youran's palace before, but he still ordered someone to go and fetch the tree. On Princess Mengjin's birthday, in addition to Shen Youran and Wei Yangyang, there were sixteen other nobles present, and Emperor Jiahou knew that Wei Yangyang would definitely not dare to lie.

Wei Yangyang said again: "The copper tree is a trophy, and so is this bracelet." With such trophies, the daughter-in-law has kept more than a dozen boxes from childhood to adulthood, and when she gets married, she must carry them into the Qinghe Mansion as a dowry. The father can send someone to the palace to fetch these boxes, and you will know at a glance. ”

She has more than a dozen large boxes of loot, and she often takes them out for her own appreciation, which is something that Shen Mingyuan also knows. But there were too many things in the box, and Shen Mingyuan wasn't sure if there was such a bracelet.

After a while, the palace people took the copper tree from Princess Mengjin. The forging process of the copper tree is very rough, and it is indeed the style of the water demon craftsman. And Shen Youran's recollection of the situation on her birthday is consistent with Wei Yangyang's description.

An hour later, the fourteen large boxes kept in the treasury of the Qinghe Palace, were also carried to the palace. Wei Yangyang looked at those boxes, there were all kinds of things in them, all of them were the results of her battles since she was a child, and they were her proud works, and she took out a few things to show Emperor Jiahou.

This includes the melon seeds that Shen Mingyuan gave her when she was in Haixi, there were originally three melon seeds, and one was used when he caught the prince; One was used when the prince of the king of the kingdom was arrested; The remaining one she thought was fun, so she kept it.

Those things are strange and have them from all over the world, and if you want to commit perjury, it is absolutely impossible to collect them in a short time. And although the pearl bracelet is priceless, compared with these things preserved by Wei Yangyang, it is only valuable, not unusual.

Wei Yangyang was in the eighth box, and at a glance saw the silver ticket of 3,000 taels that Yuan Shukuo gave her. She didn't know that the large amount of silver tickets was recorded by the household department, and she could check the use of the silver tickets. She thought to herself: "The Wei family has done enough for me, and all the evidence that can be collected has been released." Now that my father and brother have taken the lead, it's time for me to fight the decisive battle.

She confidently stretched out her hand to the box: Shen Minghuang, you wait for death. She first took out a small box from the box: "Last time King Ji rebelled, King Qinghe came to Haixi Mansion to quell the rebellion. He was assassinated on the way from Bibo City to Haixi Province, and it was his daughter-in-law who rescued him, and I kept the assassin's things forever. ”

Inside the box, there was a knife ring and a jade wrench. The knife ring is the ornament on the big knife, and the jade wrench finger is also used when practicing arrows, both things are commonly used by martial artists, nothing unusual. But Emperor Jiahou saw the difference, the sword ring was very rough made, and at first glance it was used by low-class warriors; And the jade wrench is made of high-quality jade, and ordinary people can't afford to use it.

At that time, the body of the assassin who assassinated Shen Mingyuan had long been buried in yellow sand, although Shen Mingyuan knew that it must have been committed by Shen Liangyun, the king of Jin, but he had no evidence. Now what Wei Yangyang has in his hands is direct physical evidence.

Wei Yangyang explained: "The knife ring is the killer's, and the jade wrench finger was left by a subordinate of Yuan Shukuo and Admiral Yuan. She mentioned Yuan Shukuo, and Shen Minghuang began to panic in his heart. However, Yuan Shukuo had already been killed by Shen Liangyun when he raised the army, and there should be no substantial evidence in her hands.

Shen Mingyuan knew that Yuan Shukuo was a relative of Empress Zhang, and Yuan Shukuo brought people to hunt him down, which must have been instigated by Shen Minghuang. But at that time, he and Ling Quan were hiding in the wall of the ancient city of Poling, and when they saw Yuan Shukuo outside, only Wei Yangyang was alone, and there were no other witnesses, so he could not rashly identify Shen Minghuang because of this. Since he returned from Hercy, he has only mentioned to the emperor and empress that he was seriously injured, and never mentioned this matter.

Wei Yangyang casually took out the box containing the three thousand taels of silver tickets: "After we met the assassins in the Zhanjia camp, King Qinghe was seriously injured. We had only gone far before Admiral Yuan rushed over and asked me if I had seen King Qinghe. I deliberately hinted to him that I knew the whereabouts of King Qinghe, and asked him for five thousand taels of silver tickets, and he readily agreed. But he and his men did not have that much silver with them at that time, but gave me four thousand one hundred and nineteen taels, all of which are here. ”

She opened the box, and there were large silver tickets, small silver tickets, silver ingots, and scattered silver, which were given to her by Yuan Shukuo and his subordinates at that time. Wei Yangyang continued: "Later, Admiral Yuan probably regretted it and came to my house. My father ordered me to take out 5,000 taels and hand them over to my starling, so that my starling could go to the Admiral's Mansion to make amends to Admiral Yuan. But,"

Wei Yangyang looked at Shen Minghuang with a mocking smile on his face: "But Admiral Yuan never thought that my starling brother felt sorry for me, and he didn't ask for my silver, but took five thousand taels of silver tickets from Yulu and returned them to the other party." ”

She took out the silver ticket of 3,000 taels and showed it to the emperor: "Father, daughter-in-law see that this is stamped with the official seal of Baitong Bank, and I just heard from you that you can find the current accounts according to the silver ticket." You can order someone to check, where did Yuan Shukuo get this silver ticket? ”

Yuan Shukuo's monthly salary was 3,500 taels, and the household department would only give him seven small silver bills of 500 taels according to the convention, and it was absolutely impossible to directly give him a 3,000 taels. Wei Yangyang has been the hostess of Qinghe Mansion for a year and a half, and he has only seen a few silver tickets of more than 3,000 taels.

This large amount of silver tickets is used to issue money to the first- and second-class officials, or to purchase bulk materials. It is not unusual for Yuan Shukuo to have 3,000 taels of silver, but he carries a silver ticket of 3,000 taels with him, which is either given to him by officials with a higher official rank than him, or he embezzles military salaries.

Seeing her say this, Shen Minghuang felt that the world was spinning: "Brother and sister, Admiral Yuan was martyred in front of the battle, don't slander him." ”

Wei Yangyang's best thing is to pretend to be innocent: "I didn't talk nonsense, because of this, I was punished by my father and knelt at the time, and the whole Wei family saw it, but I knelt all afternoon without eating." I only go home three or four times a year, and my father can send someone to the Wei family to ask any random person, and they must all remember it. ”

The reason why Wei Yangyang was sure that the silver ticket of 3,000 taels was given to Yuan Shukuo by Shen Minghuang was because she made a bet with Shen Minghuang when she was in Gusu, and Shen Minghuang once lost a silver ticket of 200 taels to her. She has a strange habit of keeping everything she has won back so that she can always take it out and enjoy it.

She had seen the two hundred taels and the three thousand taels of silver tickets many times, and knew that the marks on them were the same, and they were obviously from the Fengquan Palace.

She didn't understand what those imprints meant at the time, but when she had just received the Emperor's Trick Pepper Chess Beihai, she learned that the household department had registered the money and rewards given to the various prefectures, and she could use those imprints to trace the whereabouts of the silver tickets.

The silver ticket of two hundred taels is not uncommon in the Fengquan Palace, and it can be said that Wei Yangyang found a way to get it to frame Shen Minghuang; But the silver ticket with a denomination of 3,000 taels was a few years ago, at that time, Wei Yangyang was just Miss Weifu who was far away in Haixi, how could she have the opportunity to get the things of Fengquan Palace?

That jade wrench finger was indeed inadvertently dropped in the desert by Yuan Shukuo's subordinates at that time, and it was the military attache who was stoned by Wei Yangyang. He hurriedly turned around to avoid the stone, and the jade wrench slipped on the ground. Wei Yangyang looked funny, and was afraid that the person would come back to look for him, so he deliberately put away the wrench, wanting to see how anxious the person looked after he couldn't find him.

Shen Minghuang wrote a letter to Yuan Shukuo and asked the other party to secretly kill Shen Mingyuan, of course, he couldn't let his family work in vain. He added a few silver tickets to the letter, suggesting that Yuan Shukuo would have a greater reward after the success of the matter. At that time, Yuan Shukuo was blackmailed by Wei Yangyang, and in order to get Shen Mingyuan's traces, he could only take out a silver ticket of three thousand taels to coax her in a hurry.

But they didn't find Shen Mingyuan according to the route Wei Yangyang said, and Yuan Shukuo suddenly realized that it was very dangerous for the silver ticket to remain in the hands of the Wei family's daughter. Although the little girl didn't know the importance of the silver ticket, if it was seen by Wei Shuping or Shen Mingyuan, she would definitely be suspicious.

Yuan Shukuo had no choice but to pull down his old face, admit that he was deceived by Wei Yangyang, and sue Wei Shuping about the matter, wanting the Wei family to return the silver ticket. How could I have thought that Wei Bingyue felt sorry for her sister-in-law, and actually took another silver ticket to return it to Yuan Shukuo. In this way, Yuan Shukuo no longer had a reason to ask the Wei family for a silver ticket, and he couldn't go to the Wei family and say, "These are not the ones I gave her before." "Isn't that even more self-defeating?

When she said this, she didn't lie a word, and Emperor Jiahou naturally believed her words. But although she didn't lie, she spoke in a clever way. She took out the knife ring and the jade wrench together, and those who saw it would immediately think that the owners of these two objects were two killers sent by the same mastermind behind the scenes.

Now in Emperor Jiahu's heart, the situation at the scene is like this: Shen Mingyuan was first seriously injured by the owner of the knife ring, and happened to meet Wei Yangyang and rescued him. Yuan Shukuo knew that he didn't want his life for the first time, and he refused to give up, so he led people to chase and kill them all the way, and was deceived by Wei Yangyang again.

As for the first killer, it was sent by Shen Liangyun instead of Yuan Shukuo, anyway, both of them died, and only Wei Yangyang knew about it. The killer's body has long been turned into white bones and buried in the yellow sand, where can I find out?

Emperor Jiahu held the silver tickets of three thousand taels and two hundred taels, which were old tickets from four or five years ago. At that time, Wei Yangyang was in Haixi, and she didn't know about this palace struggle, so of course there was no way to make these perjuries by unpredictable prophets. And as long as you go to the household department to check, it is easy to find out which year it was issued to which official. What Wei Yangyang said is true!

Emperor Jiahou handed over the silver ticket to the chief eunuch Yun Shu and ordered him to immediately send someone to the household department to verify. He said to Wei Yangyang again: "Yangyang, you tell me again about the assassination of King Qinghe in Haixi that day." When Wei Yangyang heard the emperor's order, from the time she met Gan Tang, when she found the assassin, when she met Shen Mingyuan's convoy, when she met Admiral Yuan, and when she was rescued by Wei Bingyue, she carefully explained it carefully, and everything was right. Her speech was already clear, and now she was killing Shen Minghuang again, and she spoke clearly about everything.

Then the thing is obvious, the killer is by no means a robber on the road, but someone specially sent to take Shen Mingyuan's life. Emperor Jiahou sent Shen Mingyuan to Haixi, even the queen didn't know, and there were not many people who could know that he set off from Huadu to Bibo City and went to Haixi.
