Chapter 116: Really good
The person named by Huo Ning is called Fang Qian, who was mainly responsible for the integration of testimony and all the connections in the case of the horse back then.
It can be said that his position is not important but also important, and Hua Fan said that the parents of the two Qinglou women were finally settled by him when he came into contact with them.
After he came back just now, Huo Ning sent a secret guard to the toilet to look for it, and sure enough, they found something.
A small bamboo tube with a note is placed in the brick crack of the back wall of the toilet room, which is well covered.
And as long as there is communication in advance, you will know where he put the note, the outer toilet on Quan Moxun's house is just connected to the outer wall, as long as the note is placed in the brick crack, you can take it out from the outside without entering the house.
Fortunately, Huo Ning found it early, and it is estimated that it will be gone if it is later.
He raised the bamboo tube in his hand, which was only as thick as a finger, and asked, "Can Master Fang explain to me what this is?"
The man's body trembled obviously, and he raised his eyes to look at Huo Ning: "This is?"
"It was Lord Fang who was the last one to come out just now, right?"
"Uh, yes."
"Then who else could this thing be if you didn't put it?"
Huo Ning was sure that it was him, and looked at him with a straight body, with a twinkle in his eyes.
Fang Qian began to sweat profusely, lowering his eyes as if he was thinking of excuses.
Huo Ning turned to smile and said to Liang Yun in his arms, "See, don't you admit it, do you think I want to arrest him and interrogate him slowly?"
Liang Wan is now a dancing girl, how can she talk to him about the officials of the DPRK and China, she pretended to be submissive, "It's all up to the master."
"Good."
Huo Ning pinched her cheek and looked at Fang Qian again, "I've already read the content of the note, Master Fang, let's tell me, who is the master of your message."
Fang Qian hung his head, struggling.
He didn't expect to be caught red-handed, and he was caught by Huo Ning, and he didn't have a chance to turn over.
He moved his sleeve lightly, as if he had touched something, and wanted to fill it in his mouth—
"General Huo—"
Liang Yun's eyes were quick, and he raised his hand to knock off the thing in his hand, and a small black pill rolled down.
This man is going to kill himself by poisoning!
Liang Wan was shocked and went to see Huo Ning. As soon as the young man's cold eyes moved, the guards in all directions pressed Fang Qian's lock arm down.
He searched and escorted him to the middle of the feast.
Huo Ning returned to his position and looked at Fang Qian: "Tell me everything you did back then!"
Fang Qian raised his eyes to look at him, and said helplessly, "Back then, I did find out that this case was wrong... Almost all the witnesses in this case were the first I came into contact with them, and I recorded what they said first."
Fang Qian pulled his gaze away, as if he was caught in a memory.
"At first, when the horse was brought to the criminal department, he first told me what he experienced that night, and indeed as Huo Jiangjun said, it was very suspicious that the horse said that he saw the marriage at night, I kept an eye on it, and when Lord Zhang checked the list, I secretly copied a list of other marriages through my relationship."
"After comparison, I found that on the night of the accident, there was indeed a family that got married around the time of the horse, but there were only two very simple words on the list, three marriages. I was very strange, so I followed the address written on the list, but when I found the house, there was no one living there, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time."
"I knew then that all this was wrong, the case of the colt was definitely not simple, and what was involved behind this was not something I could control at all."
"I decided not to meddle in this case anymore because I was afraid, I told myself that I just need to do my own thing, as long as all the evidence and material evidence found by the Criminal Department are properly attributed, but I didn't know at that time that I had stepped into this quagmire."
Fang Qian paused when he said this, and looked up at Huo Ning: "This note, I want to pass it to the chief eunuch in the palace, Grandpa Fu."
"Forint?"
"Yes." Fang Qian replied to Huo Ning's words, and as soon as he broke the news, everyone else present was shocked.
How can one person be involved? Could it be that the horse case was still related to the palace?
Then if you think about it this way, will it even be the emperor?
……
Everyone didn't dare to think about it.
Quan Moxun coughed lowly, his face frozen: "Fang Qian, you have to know the consequences when you speak."
"Minister Quan, the lower officials know the consequences, that note has been found by General Huo, it is pointless for me to hide it, I can find it sooner or later."
"You go on." Huo Ning interrupted him, "Back then, what else happened."
"Back then... Xia Guan remembered that the case of the concubine had not yet made such a big sensation, and the eldest princess had visited the Criminal Department many times after the accident with the concubine, and in order to protect him, she also gave gifts to the officials of the Criminal Department."
"At that time, the emperor didn't know about this, everything was done in silence, and at that time, I recorded all the testimony and corroborated it, and found a lot of doubts, but I was ready to hand over those testimonies regardless of this matter."
"It was also the night before I handed it in, a person came to my house, and the man claimed to be from the palace, and asked me to show him the compiled testimony first. I was about to refuse, but the man said that he had a private message from the emperor and forced me to hand over my testimony."
"It was that night that I censored some of the testimony under the man's direction......
Fang Qian paused again when he said this, and his words caused Huo Ning to care: "What was deleted?"
"General Huo, the dossier you just sent us is all there, you can directly turn to pages 19 and 25."
Huo Ning immediately ordered someone to sort out the files to his hand, and he turned to the number of pages he said as Fang Qian said, and looked at the handwriting on it.
And Liang Yun also saw it clearly because of his proximity.
On page 19, the testimony of the four sedan chair drivers who carried the horses was mainly written, Fang Qian said: "At that time, these four sedan chair men were interrogated separately, so there are contradictions between their testimonies, it is true that as Huo Jiangjun said, the accident of the sedan chair was around May, and the sedan chair drivers that night said that they saw the bright moon in the sky on the way back to the princess's mansion, but the fact is that there was haze in the sky in Chang'an that night, and on the road from Hubu to the princess's mansion, the moonlight came and went, and the scenery seen by the four palanquin men should be different."
"The man must have seen the flaw, and knew that such testimony would inevitably be discovered if it was presented to the emperor, so he asked me to erase all testimony about it. Only four palanquin drivers were kept to tell them to turn around and go to the green house."
It's amazing!
When Liang Yun heard this, she could even remember the way the flower fan had insisted on being ruined by the years for so many years, and her heart soured for a while.
She looked again and saw that Huo Ning had turned to page twenty-five and continued to listen to Fang Qian.
But what he said later made her unwilling to listen.
She was still nestled in his arms, but her thoughts were far away. Fang Qian talked a lot, everyone was listening, but only her, looking through the late-night banquet, saw a tree outside the flower hall.
The leaves of the trees have turned yellow, and after the autumn hunt, the autumn wind gradually swept in Chang'an, Liang Wan looked at it, remembering that a long time ago, the master stood under the tree in the countryside and told her what he had experienced.
Suddenly, Liang Wan had a flash of inspiration, and finally remembered where she had seen the dead faces of the two Qinglou women before!
