2, Oh, it was me
Mrs. Chen was furious, as if she was about to rush up and beat someone again, how could Jiang Ci be beaten by her for the second time, and avoided it in a flash.
said that it was too late, and a gray-clothed servant hurried from the side of the gate and said to Jiang Houye, "Oh no, master...... King Yu is here with someone from the Criminal Department! β
Jiang Ci's eyes were still on the corpse, at first hearing several footsteps, as soon as she looked up, she saw several officers and soldiers holding armor fish rushing in, and after standing still, there was no longer any movement, and then a man in a dark robe walked out of the crowd, the sky was dark, Jiang Ci couldn't see his face clearly, only felt that he was handsome.
Jiang Houye stepped forward and arched his hand: "Minister-see His Royal Highness King Yu." β
Mr. Chen and others also stepped forward to salute.
King Yu glanced at Jiang Hou, bowed his head slightly, which was considered a thoughtful courtesy, and then put his eyes on Jiang Ci who was squatting next to the corpse, and said coldly: "Arrest the criminal Jiang Ci and take him to the prison of the Criminal Department!" β
"No."
"No way!"
Jiang Hou Ye and Jiang Ci spoke at the same time, and the latter's tone was firm, "His Royal Highness King Yu, the courtiers did not kill anyone, not only that, but the courtiers also want to sue Lord Chen of the Zuodu Imperial History for slandering the courtiers!" β
Not to mention that Lord Chen was stunned, even Marquis Jiang shouted in a low voice, "Ah Ci! β
Jiang Ci's eyes were cold, and he pointed to the corpse on the board and said, "Since Lord Chen said that I killed their son Chen Rui, but this corpse died at least half a month ago, and I still saw Chen Rui jumping alive today."
King Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Jiang Ci continued: "My words, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can summon all the people in the world to ask, this deceased person will never die today."
King Yu glanced at her, tilted his head slightly, as if whispering a few words to the guard beside him, and then the guard carried the oil lamp and approached the corpse with King Yu to take a look.
Jiang Ci thought about it for a while, and felt that he might not understand the technical terms, so he changed his expression, "Your Highness, you can take a closer look, this corpse is already seriously swollen, the skin is white, and it has obviously been in the water for an extremely long time, just like if you put a piece of pork in the water for ten or twenty hours, if you don't believe it, you can go home and try it." β
Yu Wang's tone was extremely cold, "You don't have to try. β
Jiang Ci nodded perfunctorily, "Beef is fine...... I mean, this is not Chen Gongzi at all, Chen Gongzi is not dead at all. β
King Yu was looking at his fiancΓ©e.
Her hair was a little unkempt, and a distinct palm print on her cheek added a bit of pity.
I haven't heard of it before, this daughter of the Hou Mansion still knows the art of servantry.
Jiang Ci naturally also knew that his fiancΓ©, Yuwang Shangxingchuan, led the army at the age of nineteen, and served as the general Wang at the age of twenty.
The two had only seen each other at the banquet before, and they were really unfamiliar with blind marriages, although they were framed, but looking at King Yu's arrest posture, they didn't plan to talk about half of their feelings.
Jiang Ci estimated that he would be able to retire on the wedding date.
While speaking, the work of Dali Temple arrived, Lord Chen and Mrs. Chen tacitly agreed not to speak at this time, and Jiang Houye's face was dark and uncertain.
He looked at the corpse, and pressed it like Jiang Ci, and then he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, this person died about half a month ago."
From the perspective of others, Jiang Ci's suspicion is really cleared.
Jiang Ci breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Lord Chen and his wife on the side, and said, "What else does Lord Chen have to say?"
These two couples, if they only knew at this time that the deceased was not their son Chen Rui, they would not have jumped up happily, how could they look a little weak now.
The lack of fear on the faces of the two of them was too obvious, and they didn't take a closer look, and after a while, Master Chen stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid this matter is ...... It's because we care about it, it's messy, the child is stubborn, and I don't know where to play at this time, and it just so happens that a corpse was fished out of the river, so we have such a misunderstanding. β
Mrs. Chen also stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Ci's hand, and whispered, "Jiang ...... Miss Jiang...... I'm also a mother's heart...... You're about to become a wife, and you can understand it. β
If Jiang Ci can understand, she won't be called Jiang Ci.
She had just walked through now, and before she could figure out the situation, she was labeled a murderer, slapped without saying anything, and was almost arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department.
Besides, the cubs of the Chen family were absolutely deliberate, they spread rumors in the streets, and they came to the door and caught Dingnanhou Mansion off guard, not to mention, they choked the life of Dingnanhou Mansion to marry a daughter, and there was really nothing they could do for a while.
The royal selection of the princess not only depends on the family background, but also the character, even if today's matter will be clarified soon, after all, it is impossible for Chen Gongzi, a good and decent person, to disappear.
But as long as Jiang Ci enters the prison of the Criminal Department, in ancient times, her reputation in this life will be over.
Jiang Ci looked at the corpse on the ground, and only felt that this person was really pitiful, and he would be used as a tool by others when he died.
Mrs. Chen read a few more hypocritical words, Jiang Ci shook off her hand and said, "Mrs. Chen still doesn't have to say these words to me, I am a good person, and I have been slandered by you so much, His Royal Highness King Yu, should I investigate this case and give my courtiers an explanation?"
Shang Xingchuan said: "Naturally."
He looked at Master Chen and said, "Where is Chen Rui?"
Lord Chen saw that he was really afraid of Shang Xingchuan, his face turned white with fright, and he stammered: "It should be in ...... In the flower building. β
Shang Xingchuan hooked his lips and said, "Then please ask Lord Chen to send someone to bring your good son from the flower building, this king has something to ask him."
Obviously, his tone of voice can be called gentle, but it is unprovoked chilling.
Lord Chen understood that at this time, it was useless to quibble, and said with a sad face, "My son is still young, this matter is all the idea of the lower official, and the lower official is jealous of the ...... of the Marquis Jiang's family in front of the saint."
Shang Xing Chuan raised his eyebrows, and his tone was contemptuous, "Young? That's right, invite him to the prison of the Criminal Department to loosen his muscles and bones, let him have some knowledge, and let him choose by the way, whether to exile to the West or the North in the future, this Wang Nian has served the country for many years in Lord Chen, let him choose the one he likes. β
Lord Chen's face turned the color of pig liver, and he knelt down with Mrs. Chen, but to no avail.
There was no way, Master Chen had to quickly order the servant waiting at the door to find someone, but unexpectedly, the servant was already so anxious that his head was sweating, and he was trembling when he spoke, "I found it!" I searched all the flower buildings in the capital, and I didn't see the young master's figure anywhere! β
"That'...... What about teahouses, restaurants, and painting boats on the lake? β
"I've found them all! There are dozens of families in the mansion, and they are all about to turn over the capital! Master...... You think it can't be a real accident, right? "The servants were about to cry.
"Phew! Don't say such bad things! Master Chen slapped the servant in the face.
β¦β¦
Lord Chen hadn't come back yet, but two exclamations suddenly came from behind the hanging flower gate of the Hou Mansion-
"Ahhh......h There are dead people! β
A subordinate ran out of the room with obvious horror on his face, "Yes...... Miss! There's a dead man in the eldest lady's room! And I'm not dressed yet..."
Jiang Ci was stunned, who is the eldest lady?
Oh, it's me.
That's fine.
