Chapter 54: Confrontation in the Golden Luan Palace
Emperor Nanyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Princess Chen, someone accused you of colluding with the cat demon to kill officials and folk women, can you plead guilty?"
"Of course not! Why admit what you haven't done? ”
Jinzhi's eyes scanned sharply, "Whoever sues me, just come out and confront me."
Immediately, some voices rang out one after another, "If it weren't for you, why did the cat demon call you master before he died?!"
"Your Majesty," a slightly muddy voice sounded, and Shen Tai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up, "A few days ago, a folk woman, Chen Wang, came to the Criminal Department to surrender herself, talking about the cat demon harming people, and presented some peace charms."
Qin Li hurriedly took the peace charm and presented it, and the Nanyue Emperor's eyes fell on the peace charm slightly,
"Shen Aiqing, this peace charm looks extremely ordinary, what's wrong?"
Shen Tai bowed, "Wang Chen's family has been brought outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's summons."
"Xuan."
Feng Jingxing was in a place that no one else could see, revealing a shallow sense of pride.
The woman came in quickly, about fifty years of age, and fell down tremblingly as soon as she came up.
Shen Tai asked in a cold voice, "Chen Wang, you said that it was your young woman who instructed you to sell this peace charm, but look at the one in front of you?"
The woman, that is, Chen Wang's family, trembled and looked up at Jinzhi, "Yes, it's her, it was she who gave me a large sum of money, saying that I should sell this batch of peace charms in the name of Master Huiyuan of Longxing Temple, and be sure to sell them to the hands of young women, and there will be a commission after the fact...... and sold,"
"Later, I heard that many women in the capital were missing, and I traveled with Yaxing all year round, and I knew a lot of people, and I accidentally knew that those women had bought my peace charms, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I ...... I went to turn myself in. ”
"Your Majesty, what the women said is true, but I really don't know that the peace charm is harmful! Please ask the emperor to see that the women surrender themselves, and let it fall lightly! ”
Shen Tai's sharp eyes swept towards Jinzhi, "Princess Chen, what else do you have to say?"
Jinzhi listened to this woman's words, and every time she heard a sentence, her face turned cold, and she sneered,
"Based on this woman's words alone, is Lord Shen going to condemn me?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Jinzhi walked up to Chen Wang and said,
"Nonsense! I don't know you at all. Since you say that I instructed you to sell these peace charms, what evidence do you have, and you slander the princess with a red mouth and white teeth, do you know what the consequences are? ”
The woman's pupils shrank and she raised her head, "Princess, you can't say that! Although you are now the princess, when you were still the eldest lady of the Nie family, you worked on my Zhuangzi, just with your appearance, even if you don't know me, I can't forget it! ”
Only then did Jinzhi remember that there was indeed such a person in the countryside memory of the original owner, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he slowly looked at Shen Tai,
"I remember, I did see her, but ...... So what? One has no document, and the other has no evidence, even if she knows me, it can't be used as evidence against me, if it can be testified just because she said that she knows me, then Lord Shen also knows her, can I think that Lord Shen deliberately arranged for her to slander me? ”
"You're sophistry! Why did this official frame you?! Shen Tai said with a glare.
Jinzhi smiled lightly, "It's just an example, Lord Shen doesn't have to take it seriously."
Shen Tai: "!"
Many people who have been scolded by Shen Tai showed a gloating expression,
This old stubborn also had a deflated day, which is inexplicably a little cool!
Emperor Nanyue is a little impatient, if the trial continues like this, the next dynasty will be postponed again today!
"Okay, if there is any evidence, let's submit it as well."
"Your Majesty," Feng Jingxing suddenly stood up, bowed down and said, his voice was still as warm as jade as always, "Erchen knows a feng shui master, and he can track the master's breath with items, why don't you invite the master to come and let him identify it, if the owner of the peace charm is not Princess Chen, it is better to return the emperor's innocence."
"Just do as you say, but where is that master now?"
"Erchen invited him to suppress evil in the new house a few days ago, and now he is in Erchen's mansion."
The Emperor of Nanyue bowed his head, "Go and ask the master."
Feng Jingxing's goal was achieved, so he returned to his position, and took the opportunity to smile warmly at Jinzhi.
Jinzhi saw his smile, and secretly sighed in her heart, if she hadn't known that the mastermind behind the scenes was Feng Jingxing, she would have believed it!
But...... Feng Qimo: It's time for them to arrive.
In a few moments, the master arrived, knelt down and saluted, his hoarse voice uncomfortable.
"The grass people have seen the emperor without a face, long live my emperor, long live long live."
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight pumping sound in the court, there was no phase, that is a famous feng shui master in South Vietnam, famous, traveling all year round, the trace is difficult to find, the prince was able to invite him to suppress evil for the new house, which shows the strength of the prince.
"Flat." Emperor Nanyue raised his hand slightly, "There is Master Lao."
"Yes." After saying that, he began to cast a spell on the peace charms.
Jinzhi felt that this person was not simple since he came in, there was a yin qi on his body, but he was not cold, but it was really not what he should have as a man, but it was like ...... Woman's!
Zhuo Yao's voice came from his ears: "This black-robed man is the one I chased against the sky."
Jinzhi's eyes were deep, and before she could think about it, the hoarse voice of the unphased son sounded,
"Your Majesty, the grass people have already cast a spell on the peace charm, as long as they encounter the breath of the same kind, they will approach." After speaking, he picked up two peace charms, put them in his two hands, and brought his palms close together, and the two peace charms were sucked together.
The eyes of the people in the hall suddenly widened, it was really magical, and the respect for this master in their hearts was a little more.
Wuxiangzi took the peace charm, walked to Jinzhi, and said: "Please also ask Princess Chen to stretch out her hand and levitate above the peace charm, if the peace charm flies into the princess's hand, it can be said that the princess is its master."
Jinzhi smiled unfazedly, "Okay."
Yiyan put her hand on the peace charm, and sure enough, the peace charm flew into her hand.
Shen Tai pointed to the peace charm in Jinzhi's hand and said loudly: "The evidence is conclusive, Princess Chen, what else do you have to say?!"
This time, even the Nanyue Emperor widened his eyes, and when he saw that it was indeed as Wuxiangzi said, his face sank, and he said angrily:
"Come on, put Princess Chen in the prison, and wait for her to fall!"
Just as the forbidden army was about to come up, a cold voice sounded,
"Wait." Then the crowd saw that the woman in the center of the hall did not panic at all and said, "I have some questions that I want to ask this master."
Shen Tai blew his beard and glared, "Do you think the master will wronged you?!"
Jinzhi replied with a smile: "I didn't say anything, it's just that there are some problems, Lord Shen, don't worry."
Shen Tai: "......"
Then he looked at the Phaseless Son, "Dare to ask what kind of spell the master just used, and what is the principle?"
Wuxiangzi looked unfathomable, "The mystic art is profound, even if I say Princess Chen, I may not understand it."
Jinzhi nodded, it turned out that they called this Xuanshu, and then smiled, and made a few gestures in his hand,
"Is that so?"
As soon as the words fell, the peace charm that had just flown to her hand flew out with a "whoosh" and stuck to the door of Wuxiangzi's head.
Wuxiangzi took down the peace charm on the door of his head, and was a little angry,
"What does Princess Chen mean by this?"
Jinzhi spread his hands, "It's not interesting, didn't you say just now, master, whoever sticks to it is its owner, and now it's also on the master's head, do I have reason to suspect that the master is also suspected of being the mastermind of the girl's disappearance?"
"Nonsense!" Wuxiangzi said angrily, "How can Princess Chen reverse black and white?!"
The people in the palace were also dumbfounded, how could there be such a reversal?
In the eyes of everyone, Jinzhi picked up a peace charm and said: "This peace charm is indeed an important piece of evidence in the case of the girl's disappearance, I believe that the emperor and your lords also want to know what it does, right?"
Everyone's attention was attracted by her words, and they all pricked up their ears.
Jinzhi said unhurriedly: "This thing has been spelled, and anyone who touches it will be automatically screened by it, and if it meets the conditions, it will be infected with this spell, and in the middle of the night, when there is no one on the third watch, he will go to the destination set by the owner of the peace charm, so those women are missing without a trace."
When everyone heard this, they all felt a chill in their backs, and they really didn't know how they died in such a traceless way.
Shen Tai snorted coldly, "King Chen's Mansion is admitting that he is the master of the peace charm?"
Jin Zhi rolled his eyes at him, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, I do have a relationship with these peace charms, because the cat demon sacrificed his soul to me, so I will have a similar aura to them, I don't deny this, but I rescued those women, but His Royal Highness King Chen saw it with his own eyes, if it was really me who wanted to harm people, how could I rescue people?"
Shen Tai snorted coldly, "Maybe you directed and acted by yourself, in order to clear up suspicions."
"Hehe," Jinzhi was about to scold him, when he heard a singing,
"His Royal Highness King Chen has arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Feng Qimo, who was dressed in ink, calmly walking in in a wheelchair, followed by a kind old monk.
Immediately, someone exclaimed, "Master Huiyuan!"
It's no wonder they were surprised, Master Huiyuan had been hidden in Longxing Temple twenty years ago, dedicated to cultivating Buddhism, ignoring the world, except for a daily meeting with a destined person to unsign, and no longer have contact with the outside world, this time he actually went out of the mountain!
Feng Qimo walked to Jinzhi's side, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Feng Qimo arched his hand, "Your Majesty, if you talk about Taoism and cultivation, who can compare to Master Huiyuan, who is deeply blessed, and the younger brother invited Master Huiyuan to come today, just to make a fair witness to this matter."
Seeing Master Huiyuan, Emperor Nanyue's expression was also much more serious, but Feng Jingxing, the moment he saw Master Huiyuan, a touch of yin flashed in his eyes.
"Amitabha." Master Huiyuan typed the Buddha name, and then slowly took out a round bowl, "This thing is a sacred relic of my Buddhism, and if you sell it directly, you will find out whether this person has been stained with the blood of innocent people."
Then he took it and shone it on the brocade branch, and there was nothing unusual after the golden light.
Master Huiyuan shook his head, "It's not her."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were colorful, Feng Jingxing's face was a hidden owl, and his eyes were obscure, while Shen Tai had an expression of eating.
He has handled cases for so many years, and he has never encountered such a situation!
Obviously, all the evidence points to her, but it is really not her.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he has used people as guns.
Then Master Huiyuan threw out a big bomb: "Princess Chen can subdue the cat demon and rescue the murdered woman, but she is a person who cares about the world, so Lao Wei decided to take her as an apprentice."
