Chapter 36: The End of the Case
Yin Yun knelt in the center of the main hall, lined up beside Nangong Lin. When the enemies saw each other, one dodged and dodged, not daring to face it, and the other had red eyes, turned his head to the side, staring at him deadly, and said in a faint voice: "Yin Gongzi, you are finally here..."
Yin Yun was shocked, and hurriedly lowered her head, "You killed someone without reflection, and you came to frame me, do you still have humanity?!" ”
"Why did Yin Gongzi say this, don't you have a share of the case with Jia Wedge?"
"You, you speak wildly! I wanted to say a few nice things for you for the sake of my friends, but it seems that I have a lot of trouble! ”
The corners of Nangong Lin's mouth twitched violently to show dissatisfaction.
The eldest grandson asked him without controversy: "The end of the Yunlai Pavilion, do you recognize it?" ”
Yin Yun didn't look at the woman, nodded and said, "Who doesn't recognize the top card of Yunlai Pavilion!" ”
"Was she in your house the night three days ago?"
"She... So what?! Yin Yun stubbornly said, "What does this have to do with Jia Wedge's death?" I just hired a top card to sing a song, and I didn't break the law! ”
"Evil obstacles! Shut up yet! Yin Zhuo was so anxious that he couldn't wait to go up and press him to the ground to confess his guilt.
The eldest grandson said with a smile: "Lord Yin is not impatient, and listen to me to try the case." ”
Yin Zhuo knows his situation, if he says more, he is afraid that it will arouse suspicion, but this unpopular son is so rampant in front of the main hall and His Royal Highness the Prince, if he doesn't stop the eldest grandson from fighting, I'm afraid...
Yin Zhuo bent over Wei Zixu, and asked for his guilt first: "The dog is used to being arrogant, and he has no mouth in front of His Highness, and he also asks His Highness to atone for his sins, and he will definitely be disciplined when he goes back!" ”
Wei Zixu's eyes swept over Nangong Lin and Yin Yun, and fell on Yin Zhuo, who was now eager to know who the real murderer was, and who didn't care if he couldn't hide it, waved his hand at him, and signaled to shut up.
The eldest grandson continued: "The witness pointed out that you had an argument with Jia Wedge and deliberately avoided her, yes or no? ”
Yin Yun looked at his father, wanting to get instructions on the next step, but was blocked by a behemoth, and the eldest grandson Wuzheng smiled at him, "Young Master Yin hasn't answered the official's question yet." ”
Yin Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Have you ever bribed Jia Wedge and deceived Nangong Lin?"
He still nodded.
"Nangong Lin found out about you, have you ever had murderous intentions?"
Yin Yunzheng subconsciously wanted to nod, but when she heard the word murder, her neck froze in fright, and her face changed drastically, "My lord, I didn't kill anyone!" ”
The eldest grandson continued: "You said that you didn't kill anyone, so you may prove your innocence?" ”
"My jade pendant is intact, it's at home, adults can send someone to verify it!"
"Yes, yes, the jade pendant can prove it, I will send someone to get it immediately!" Yin Zhuo was about to greet his subordinates, but was stopped by the eldest grandson Wuzheng, turned around and asked the prince for his life, and sent someone from the criminal department to take this trip.
During this period of time, Su Yan said to Li Hong beside him: "I still want to thank you for coming to help regardless of your own safety!" ”
Li Hong arched his hand, a little ashamed: "The villain should have come, but he was dizzy for a while, and he really didn't have the face to see people!" ”
"The world is desolate, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and it is rare that you can be like this."
Li Hong did not go far after saying goodbye to Su Yan in the Cricket Pavilion, but followed him, and when they changed to the dark market, he immediately went to ask the owner of the shop, and learned that Su Yan suspected Yin Yun. Li Hong suddenly remembered that on the way to escort Mo Xuan back to Yunlai Pavilion that night, he had told him about the dispute between Jia Yu and Yin Yun, and now that he thought about it, he was afraid that it would be a big discovery. Li Hong didn't dare to startle the snake, so he hid at home and analyzed: If Yin Yun is the murderer, then this case will be troublesome! On one side is the Yin family, the minions of today's six Shangshu, and behind them is the huge Mo Party force; On one side is the Nangong family, except for the eldest grandson Wuzheng, the secretary of the criminal department, there is no support, the eldest grandson Wuzheng has always shown a decent image, the criminal department has cracked countless difficult cases under his leadership, and has never tolerated adultery, but he never provoked the people of the Mo Party. Now in this case, Lord Changsun should not set himself on fire for a Nangong Lin, so the outcome is obvious, but ...... Later, Li Hong heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming and was in charge of the final trial, so this nature was different. The prince was already secretly competing with Murphy, how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Mr. Su had been chasing this case relentlessly, according to her confident appearance, she would definitely have a better chance of winning......
Thinking of these, he decided to fight once, if he could support justice, he Li Hong would be famous!
But at this time, Li Hong heard a sigh from the person next to him, as if there was something else hidden, and he asked her tentatively: "Does Mr. Su have any doubts?" ”
"It's not doubt, it's worry."
Li Hong's heart, which had finally calmed down, was about to jump to his throat at this time, "Why do you say this?" ”
"Whether the case is successful or not, if the Mexican party forces are not eliminated, all those who have fought against it will be threatened."
Hearing that Su Yan was worried about this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry about it, the one who started today is the one who came out today," he lowered his voice to the lowest, "It's the one above, we little minions are not worth their knives and guns, it is better to consolidate your party as soon as possible, so as to deal with the one above!" ”
Su Yan couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "It's okay, it's a pity that you don't go to be an official!" ”
"The villain also listened to and watched a lot in Yunlai Pavilion, so he naturally knew more. It's just that the villain thought that he could help, but he didn't think that he didn't come in at all, so I'm really ashamed, I don't know if Mr. Su has any plans for the future? ”
"I originally wanted to be one less person involved, but the opponent was strong, it seems that I can only do this!" As he spoke, he went to ask the eldest grandson for something. Li Hong was a little surprised by her brainless words, but as he was, he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only wait quietly.
At this moment, the person sent by the Criminal Department came back, presented the jade pendant for the prince to see, and invited the owner of the jade workshop to identify it.
It was getting late, but everyone was very calm, but Yin Zhuo's father and son were sitting on pins and needles, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment. The old owner took the jade pendant and only glanced at it, and said something strange, Yin Yun suddenly became confused: "This thing was purchased from your jade workshop, and I also left the voucher, you can report it truthfully, if you dare to lie in front of Your Highness, but it is not enough to die ten thousand times!" ”
The owner checked it several times, returned the jade pendant, and said, "The weaving technique of this tassel is indeed the same as that of my jade workshop, but the material is a little different." ”
The eldest grandson Wuzheng stepped forward and said to the owner: "What does the owner mean is that this is not from the Jade Workshop?" ”
The owner was a little embarrassed and said: "I dare not assert that when the situation is special, we will also replace it with other similar materials, but there is no record and it cannot be traced." ”
Wei Zixu thought for a long time, and asked Su Yan anxiously: "Does Mr. Su still have evidence?" If you can find out who is the real murderer from the two of them before sunset, this palace rewards! ”
The eldest grandson Wuzheng stepped forward and said, "Your Highness is wise, Mr. Su still has a certification, and he has asked someone to bring him over, please summon him with His Highness." ”
At this time, Yin Zhuo finally couldn't bear it, and knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Weichen was also present that night, so many families were present, Jia Wedge was just drunk and making trouble that night, it was Wechen who drove him out of the house, and Jia Wedge left unharmed!" The girl at the end of the room is in the wing, how can she see it! And this jade pendant, the owner said that it is indeed a jade workshop, this ......"
"Your Excellency!" Su Yan interrupted him, "What the owner said was that the materials were roughly similar, and he didn't admit that this thing was completely from the Jade Workshop. If you have doubts about the owner's words, it is better to call one last witness, and everything will be clear whether it is true or false. ”
The beads of sweat on Yin Zhuo's forehead rolled down one by one, the whites of his red eyes were almost oozing blood, and the hand on the ground couldn't help but tremble, and he knelt up straight with difficulty: "What if this person can't prove it?" ”
Su Yan naturally knew what he was thinking, and smiled slightly: "Let it be disposed of." ”
Hearing this, the last bit of hope in Yin Zhuo's heart was also shattered, and he could only watch in despair as the last witness came on the field, and the appearance of this person made Yin Yun completely crazy and sat on the ground with a slump in his ass.
"Grass people Li Chengru, meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your lords." Craftsman Li slowly knelt on the ground, his thin body trembling slightly, but his voice was loud and steady, and he couldn't see his panic at this time.
Wei Zixu handed over the jade pendant to him and asked, "Do you recognize this?" ”
Craftsman Li subconsciously looked at Yin Yun before taking the jade pendant. The fingers slowly rubbed from the jade pendant to the end of the tassel, and stopped abruptly: "This thing... It's from the hands of villains. ”
In the Chenying Palace, there was an uproar.
"Two days ago, around the time of Mochen, Yin Yun Gongzi visited the dark market and asked me to make one exactly like the tassels of the Jade Workshop, which is this thing."
The owner couldn't help but ask him: "Good guy, your technique is comparable to that of the craftsmen in my workshop, who do you learn from?" ”
"Zhao Guo Li Chongming is my father..."
The owner suddenly realized: "By the way, you are also surnamed Li!" What a coincidence, let's go out of the same school! It's a pity that you learned a skill but made a living in the dark market, and you are really ashamed of your father! ”
Craftsman Li knew that he was wrong, and he didn't make any excuses, but only said to the owner: "The family is in the middle of the road, and in order to make a living, he went to the dark market to deceive people, and he deserved the crime of the grass people who ended up today." He raised his ravine-lined face, faced the high-ranking officials and magnates in front of him and said, "Yin Gongzi came to find the grass people that day, and only said that he would repair the jade pendant, and the grass people have always only done business to make money, and they don't care about idle things, but that day in the dark market, I heard that Yin Gongzi was in big trouble, and said... said that the Yin family was going to lose money again, but later the grass people pondered it carefully and felt that it should have something to do with Jia Wedge's death. ”
Yin Yun saw that he couldn't hide the fraud, so he used a bitter trick: "My tassel is lost, but it is by no means the one at the scene of the crime, what I lost is the whole, that one is incomplete, not mine!" If it weren't for the fear of being implicated in Jia Wedge's death, I wouldn't have to go to the dark market to trade, and I wouldn't have burned the original one, otherwise... Otherwise, you can prove your innocence! He thought about it and hurriedly added, "Nangong Lin and Jia Wedge have a personal vendetta, so he is the biggest suspect!" ”
Su Yan couldn't help but smile as he watched him dying and struggling: "You and Jia Wedge just finished arguing, and went to the dark market to repair the jade pendant early the next morning, are you too anxious?" Although this jade pendant is precious, it is not so important for you, right? Moreover, Jia Wedge's death, but it only spread in the afternoon, and I and the students found out, and no one knew about it until then. So may I ask Yin Gongzi, where did you hear that Jia Wedge is dead? Also, if I didn't infer the mistake, Nangong Lin's spike was stolen by you, and I went to the dark market to make a fake one, confusing the public, and hiding it from the world! ”
The prince got up angrily: "Yin Yun, quickly explain the truth!" ”
Yin Yun was so frightened by the majesty of the prince that she trembled, and she couldn't hold it on, so she told it all: "Yes, I killed Jia Wedge!" I killed someone at the time, and in my heart... I was very scared, so I threw him into the back mountain. ”
"Killing time?" The eldest grandson asked without controversy.
"When it's ugly, I don't remember the exact time. When I came back, I found that the spike was torn off by him, and I don't know where it fell, I was worried that the criminal department would investigate it thoroughly, and sooner or later it would find out on my head, I... I'll immediately forge one..."
"Nangong Lin's tassel, but what you did with your hands and feet?"
Yin Yun burst into tears and nodded, "Yes, I stole it, just after the forgery." ”
"Then how did you escape the interrogation of the city defenders when you returned to the city overnight?"
He closed his eyes and said in despair: "It's all bought, let them say that they haven't seen me and become ......"
After hearing this, the prince slapped the case and said angrily: "Murder and bribery, framing and framing, Yin Yun, you are so bold!" Yin Zhuo, is your father really unaware? ”
Yin Zhuo's legs were weak and spread on the ground, "It's all done by the sinner, Xiao'er just missed and hurt people, the sinner was fascinated for a while, and he was afraid that Jia Wedge would blackmail him so he abandoned the corpse behind the mountain, everything, Xiao'er didn't know at all!" ”
However, what he said was meaningless, and according to the results of the autopsy, the only fatal knife had to be inserted by an eight-foot man, and Yin Zhuo was short and impossible to do.
Three days later, the final verdict of the Houshan murder case was widely publicized in a notice, posted everywhere in Ruoshui, and the notice read: After the investigation of the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple retrial was determined, Yin Yun killed people and abandoned the corpse in Houshan, planted blame, and committed heinous deeds. His father, Yin Zhuo, the secretary of Dali Temple, shielded the murderer, abused his power, and his crime was intolerable, so he was dismissed from his official rank and guarded the imperial tomb.
Although exile is not fatal, it is worse than death, which is the biggest punishment for the rich son Yin Yun.
Su Yan deliberately built a merit card outside Shuyoutang, and tore a copy of this notice and pasted it for passers-by to stop and comment, but the most important thing is to let passers-by also praise the deeds of Shuyoutang working together to overturn the case. In fact, this deed has long been known to passers-by, and everyone said that although Mr. Su is a woman, he has the wisdom and courage of a man, and in just one day, he found all the evidence to overturn the case. Nearly 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is the first time that a brave and resourceful woman like Mr. Su has appeared, which is really unprecedented, and it is difficult for future generations to reach!
In the end, everyone categorized this matter into one sentence: strange people, strange women!
After the turmoil, Nangong Lin's family wrapped a big gift and personally sent it to the Yanshan Courtyard to thank him, Su Yan pushed it away with a smile, "Do good deeds without leaving your name, and you will see the gift outside!" Helplessly, Nangong Yun had a tendon and wanted her to accept it, but Su Yan repeatedly refused and couldn't, so she had to take it. When I turned around and opened the ceremony, I couldn't help but be surprised, just a basket of Shushan specialties, even if I thanked him? I can't help but sigh that Lord Nangong is really his grandfather's incorruptibility!
As for the victim Jia Wye's uncle, the Ministry of Works, he never came forward, and the final trial did not appear that day. Thinking about it, he was thin-skinned, and he forced the eldest grandson's family like that, but in the end he got the wrong person, so he was naturally embarrassed to appear again.
In the dim and dirty alleys, taverns, gambling houses, and small workshops opened their stores, and the crowds were surging. A thin robe stood in the deepest corner, almost hidden in the darkness, and the willow tree protruding from the high wall danced in the wind above his head, and a few willow leaves fell lightly, brushing his cheeks and landing on the edge of his shoes.
poked their heads out of the only closed hall and looked around, making sure that no one was snooping, before coming to Zuo Qing's side.
Zuo Qing's face was a little pale, and at this time, his brows were deeply locked, and he added a touch of purity, "Your Excellency Xinghan's secret passage leads directly here, if there is an emergency in the future, this will be our only way to escape." I also had to trouble my aunt to help me recruit some trustworthy people to live here disguised as a businessman, and there was always a time when I needed to. ”
smiled with satisfaction and said to him, "Don't worry, I will handle the things you explain." By the way, although the murder case is over, I am worried that some people will suspect it, and once they are suspected, they will be pursued desperately, and you must not reveal the clues to anyone, especially Su Yan! ”
"Yes."
's face sank instantly, "Qian'er, you have to remember that the love between children and daughters is a passing cloud, the only thing you have to do is to kill Murphy, you can't be soft-hearted!" ”
Zuo Qing looked at her apprehensively, and only after a while did she mechanically slower her head, and an inaudible voice floated out of her throat, "Got it." ”
After meeting, Zuo Qing put on his cloak and left the alley vigilantly. As he stepped into the carriage, a violent groan suddenly hit his eardrums, and he stopped suddenly, and by the time he went to check his surroundings again, the sound was gone, and there was nothing but the night breeze and the people of the streets.
He didn't notice it, just across the street, Mo Xuan was stunned by a black shadow, jumped out of a green canopy carriage, two men in black carried her into the carriage, and immediately galloped away.
And that black shadow has a pair of bloodthirsty eyes like Ge Yiyan.
