Chapter 192 Evidence
Since the emperor believed that his father was poisoned, Wan Ning added a few words again: "After my father was poisoned, he knew that he was not very good, so he wrote a letter to his family. Later, the slave and maid learned that the letter had been sent in an expedited manner for 800 miles. The slave maid followed her mother's order and rushed to Liangzhou, where she was always taken care of by her father's side. He doesn't worry about slaves guarding him, so my father is not infected with the plague. After his death, he burned his body on the grounds that he was infected with the plague. Such a disposal of the remains of a court official already shows that there must be a problem. Only after poisoning, the corpse was destroyed, and the traces were destroyed. ”
The emperor has been emphasizing the evidence, and he has to spare no effort to think about what evidence there is. She added: "When my father lived in Liangzhou, he told a few loyal subordinates around him that it was the innkeepers who made their hands and feet in the tea that my father drank. The innkeeper is the best witness, and of course the killer must be brought to justice. ”
Wanning was worried that the emperor would think that her father was wronging others.
"Your Majesty, you know your father's personality best, your father will not wronged people, what is the point of wronging others before he dies? He also confessed to everyone what he knew, just to keep it from the slaves and maids, and not to let his family know. He only wants to protect us, and he has not thought about himself, so there is no need to wronged others and tell lies. Of course, the two men who went up to the house to find the antidote also knew about it, and all I knew from them was that the slaves forced them to ask them. Your Majesty, you can interrogate them. ”
The emperor said, "These two people can be regarded as human witnesses. It is best to have more convincing witnesses, and it would be best if you could find other witnesses as you said, not to mention that these two people are from your Li family. It is not enough to have witnesses, there must be convincing physical evidence. ”
"Your Majesty, the slave maid asked for a trip to Liangzhou. It was the place where my father had been on his deathbed, and the slave believed that some evidence would be found. Or the slave and maid took the whole inn and tortured them, and the slave and maid did not believe that they did not tell the truth. ”
When the emperor heard her words, he actually smiled: "You girl, you will be tortured in front of me." I'm in a hurry, a little girl who doesn't have much thought, and she still wants to hide her identity in front of me. ”
"The slave knows that she is guilty, and the people of the inn are indeed hateful. Do they really enjoy the glory and riches? For what is it that human life dares to be harmed? ”
The emperor probably thought that everything was still to be verified, and did not say anything. After a long time, he said: "If what you say is true, where is Liangzhou...... You really need to make a trip. ”
Wan Ning thought that in order for the emperor to make up his mind to let him go to Liangzhou, he must let him see the existing human and physical evidence as soon as possible. So he got down from the couch, knelt down in front of the emperor, and begged: "Please allow the slave and maid to go back to the Li Mansion, and bring the subordinates sent by my father to find the antidote, and you will interrogate them face to face." There are also handwritten letters from the slave and maid from their father, all of which are intact. ”
The emperor also needed to know some specific information about Li Zhenghang, so he agreed.
At this point, Wan Ning realized that the emperor seemed to really take her father's case seriously. Wan Ning knew that her father's death was no longer her own business, he was not only a member of the imperial court, but now it was more about other people. She thinks that the emperor is wise, otherwise, she wouldn't even have a chance to say this.
"Poisoning the court officials is not a trivial matter. Your father's affairs are so extensive that there must be sufficient evidence. ”
Wan Ning had long expected the emperor to say this: "The slave believes in your wisdom. According to the slave's opinion, it is necessary to report everything to you. ”
With that, the emperor glanced at Wanning and left her room.
Wan Ning obeyed the holy decree and served the master of Yunyan Pavilion Zhou well, but did not say a word out of the palace.
Early in the morning, she had the first close contact with the emperor, and in the faint she strengthened another belief. If you have the opportunity to leave the palace, the first thing you will do is to go to Brother Ziang. When the emperor was around, she missed him very much.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go back to the Li Mansion to find evidence, he went straight to the Gao Mansion after leaving the palace. After Wanning arrived at Gao's mansion, Gao Ziang was bored in the study. Wanning's appearance was a surprise to him.
Gao Ziang looked at Wanning's dress, she seemed to have returned to the past. He was naturally puzzled, so he asked, "Sister Wan, why are you wearing this?" ”
"Brother, isn't this good-looking?"
"Of course it's pretty, you know I'm not talking about this."
"The emperor has seen through my identity, and my sister doesn't dare to bully the king anymore, so she can only be her truest self." Wan Ning sighed, "It's all because I'm too stupid, as soon as I mention my father to the emperor, I can't hide it." ”
This is also what Gao Ziang expected. "Then you're from the palace now?"
"Exactly, from the palace. As soon as I have a chance to leave the palace, I will come to you, am I moved? ”
"Of course I was moved. But why are you out of the palace this time? ”
Wan Ning, who hugged him, raised her face, and said happily: "It was the emperor who let me out of the palace and said that I could go to the Li Mansion to get evidence." ”
Gao Ziang hid a trace of discomfort in his heart, the emperor had already seen Wanning's true face, and they had already made contact. This is something he doesn't want to see.
He couldn't bear to pour cold water on the happy Wanning, and asked tentatively: "When will the emperor promise you to avenge Uncle Li?" ”
Wan Ning blurted out: "Early this morning, he came to me in person to ask, which shows that he really reassured about his father's affairs." ”
Gao Ziang deduced from the time that the emperor's attention to Uncle Li must have been after Wanning restored her makeup. He was secretly unhappy in his heart, and there was only a reluctant smile on his face.
Wan Ning knew him best, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Not really."
In a flash, Gao Ziang knew that there should not be any suspicion between him and her, he looked at Wan Ning and said, "How I hope you don't show all your self in front of the emperor." ”
Hearing this, Wanning suddenly thought of what Yan'er said, and she had to explain to her brother that she couldn't continue to pretend in front of the emperor. Now her words have been fulfilled.
Seeing that Wan Ning didn't speak, Gao Ziang looked a little aggressive: "Have you ever thought that the emperor might agree to some of your requests because of your appearance?" ”
"Will the two have a relationship? It shouldn't be because of my looks. Brother, my makeup doesn't matter. The emperor just doesn't like a little girl who bullies the king, and tries in vain to make decisions for his father, and it's a fact that I deceived the king before! Didn't the emperor guess that his father might be wronged? Leave the emperor alone, what about you? I've become normal, aren't you happy? ”
"What do you say?" Gao Ziang squinted at her, "However, your father's affairs are progressing, and I am indeed happy for you." ”
"Are you happy or unhappy?"
Gao Ziang understands that he should not doubt his sister Wan, she came to Gao Mansion with great enthusiasm at the moment, and she can't be sorry for her.
He gave Wan Ning a big smile: "Happy, how can you not be happy?" I haven't seen my sister for many days, and I'm going crazy, but now that I see it, it's still so beautiful. In order to dispel your doubts, shall I accompany you to the Li Mansion to collect evidence? ”
Wan Ning was very happy, clapped her hands and said, "Okay! ”
"Let me hug me before I go."
Wan Ning said coquettishly: "Come along!" ”
