Chapter 522: Opening the court to hear the case
The eldest princess sighed, the Liu family is very smart, in front of her, she must have more eyes.
"Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, and the palace is just suspicious."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It seems that in your eyes, the county lord is a ruthless person, and he may even poison his mother-in-law." ”
"If you don't set up a trap, this palace will never be fooled again!"
After speaking, the eldest princess followed the two officials to the criminal department.
Liu Yunxiang looked at the back of the eldest princess and sighed heavily, if the murderer was not Murong Lingyi, who would it be?
"Why did she go to the criminal department's court?" Qu Mo Ran stepped forward and asked.
Liu Yunxiang saw that Qu Moran was not completely unconcerned about the eldest princess, so he briefly told Qu Moran about the murder of Mrs. Wuchang and their suspicion that it was Murong Lingyi.
Qu Moran snorted coldly, "So in order to cover up Murong Lingyi's crime, she did not hesitate to kill people!" ”
She ...... Confused indeed. ”
"Not only confused but also blind, when I stood in front of her and told her that I was her daughter, she scolded me for being a little beggar and daring to pretend to be the county lord."
Qu Moran's expression was full of mockery, but his eyes were sad.
A teenage child, she experienced war, experienced upheaval, entered the ghost gate several times, gritted her teeth and lived under fear and helplessness, and finally returned home, but was rejected by her mother.
She seemed to have forgotten that daughter, and had already pretended to be that she didn't exist.
"There must be something hidden here."
"Later, I went to Beijing again, and this time I grew up, and I didn't have so much hatred and anger, but I still wanted to talk to them. I found General Weiyuan, told him everything about me and the nurse, and also told him the clothes I wore when I was a baby, there were a few peony flowers on them, according to the nurse, the eldest princess embroidered, I showed him, I thought he would believe it, but he scolded me for ulterior motives, and ruined the little clothes. ”
Speaking of this, Qu Moran shook his head, "I don't want to mention this, and I've never told anyone about it. ”
This is a wound in her heart, it hurts too badly, and it hurts when you lift it.
Liu Yunxiang hugged Qu Moran, "I still think there is a secret in it, maybe I can help you." ”
"No, my life with Yi'er is peaceful, and I don't want to break this peace. Besides, I don't really have much affection for them, and I think they are the same. ”
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Okay, but if you want to recognize them one day, I will help you." ”
Qu Mo smiled: "I know." ”
In the court of the Criminal Department, Yan Duan was sitting in the right position as the chief judge, and Wuchang Hou and Xue Changfeng were also there, they were staring at Murong Lingyi, if it was really her, it was estimated that the father and son would rush up and strangle her.
And Murong Lingyi stood beside the eldest princess, frowning, looking like she was in a fog.
Zhou Lihuai and Mrs. Chen knelt underneath, and Yan Duan also asked the official to invite a nun from Ziyun Nunnery.
Yan Du patted the startled wood, and the people below looked at him one after another.
Yan Du looked at Murong Lingyi: "Lord Zhaohua, this is the public court, this king asks you, you must answer, and you can't lie." ”
"Seventh Brother ......"
"This is the public court, this king is presiding over the trial of this case, and he will definitely do official business."
Murong Lingyi saw Yan Dui's serious expression, and looked around again, especially when he saw Xue Changfeng's appearance of wanting to kill her, he unconsciously restrained a little arrogant, "Yes." ”
"Do you know Chen Xuan?"
Murong Lingyi frowned, "It's Chen Xuan again, I don't know." ”
"Chen Xuan is a palace maid, she replaced the ginseng pills in Mrs. Zhou's medicine box with poison pills, so that Mrs. Wuchang Hou was poisoned to death, and last night, Chen Xuan committed suicide in fear of crime."
Murong Lingyi's eyes rolled, "What do you mean, it won't be suspected that I bought that palace maid and let her harm my mother-in-law, right?" ”
"You do have a suspicion."
"I didn't! I really don't! Murong Lingyi was anxious, turned her head and said to the eldest princess: "Mother, you believe me, I really didn't harm my mother-in-law!" ”
The eldest princess's eyes lit up, "It's really not you?" ”
"Why should I hurt her, it is necessary for you!"
"My mother wants to marry me in the side room, you don't agree, my mother let you have a child, you don't agree either, and you killed the child in Aunt Zhou's womb, obviously to my Xue family to cut off children and grandchildren. My mother saw your plot and planned to expose you, so you poisoned her! Xue Changfeng said angrily.
Murong Lingyi turned around and glared at Xue Changfeng, "I hurt Aunt Zhou and hurt the child in her womb, I admit that she is cheap, I just killed her, and it is nothing according to the law." ”
"You!"
"As for your mother, I hate her, but my mother often advises me that I will not kill her."
"In order to cover up this, the eldest princess did not hesitate to kill Mrs. Chen, obviously knowing that you had killed someone!"
Murong Lingyi turned her head to look at the eldest princess, and asked with some surprise, "Mother, you also doubt me?" ”
The eldest princess closed her eyes: "This is the problem of this palace, not yours." ”
When the case was asked, he fell into a predicament again, who instructed the palace maid, except for Murong Lingyi, it seemed that there was no other suspicious person, and Murong Lingyi said that he didn't know this palace maid, whether it was true or not, they couldn't confirm it.
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, thinking that this case would not be able to continue if it was tried here.
Yan Du looked at the nun standing below at the Ziyun Nunnery, and he asked, "Master, you said that Chen Xuan was looked for early in the morning on the day she committed suicide, right?" ”
The nun hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she couldn't help but be confused, they asked the nun that day, and she clearly said that no one had come to find Chen Xuan in the past two days......
"But this Mrs. Chen?"
The nun looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "She did look for Master Chen, but it was four or five days before Master Chen committed suicide, and Master Chen didn't show anything abnormal after that." ”
Mrs. Chen nodded hurriedly, "Her brother is getting married, I want her to raise money, and she agreed." ”
Yan Duan pointed at Murong Lingyi again, "Is that her?" ”
The nun looked at Murong Lingyi and still shook her head, "No." ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess was obviously relieved, and Xue Changfeng's father and son looked embarrassed at this time, if it wasn't for Murong Lingyi, who would it be?
Yan Du lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his head and pointed to one place, "Mrs. Shi, you recognize it well, early in the morning of Chen Xuan's suicide, she went to Ziyun Nunnery to find her?" ”
Everyone looked at the person Yan Du was referring to, it was actually Murong Lingyi's maidservant, and everyone felt a little ridiculous.
A servant girl, why did she kill Mrs. Wuchang Hou, it's really funny.
However, after staring at the maidservant for a while, the nun nodded, "It's her!" ”
This time, everyone was shocked.
Yan Du asked again: "Mrs. Shi, this king will ask you again, are you sure it's her?" ”
Mrs. Shi nodded, "It's her, early that morning, she sneaked into the backyard, I wanted to stop her, but when I saw that Master Chen knew her, I retreated." ”
Yan Dui's eyes sharpened, "Be bold and don't admit your guilt!" ”
