Chapter 44: Locked in a Cell
The goddess died, and this matter was indeed beyond Shen Lingyu's expectations.
But who killed her, in fact, it is not difficult to guess.
This morning, when the county lord of Yining took Mrs. Junwang to settle accounts with her, he leaked out and said that he saw her seduce Lu Fangting yesterday.
This shows that the county lord of Yining knows very well what she did when she took the goddess to Lu Shizi.
And the county lord is so annoyed with her, it's not impossible to frame a blame.
Although the matter was a bit troublesome for her, she believed that Zhu Wei was a person, and he could never convict her if there was insufficient evidence.
Thinking like this, Shen Lingyu pursed her lips and calmly went to Dali Temple with Zhu Wei.
On the public hall of Dali Temple there is the body of the goddess, she was cut by a sword and died on the spot.
Shen Lingyu only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
"I wish my lord, this goddess has gone to the general's mansion to summon the soul of my husband before, I value her ability very much, after meeting her on the street by chance yesterday, I took her to the other courtyard of the Zhenbei Wangfu, just because Lu Shizi had previously helped me out of the siege in the county king's mansion, I was grateful in my heart, so I took the goddess to divinate for Lu Shizi, in order to boost his ambition to survive."
What Shen Lingyu said was the truth, but these facts sounded a little ridiculous to Zhu Wei.
"Mrs. Pei, don't you think you're overstepping? Lu Shizi doesn't seem to have any friendship with you, you care about his body so much, aren't you afraid of outsiders' nonsense? ”
Shen Lingyu had really thought about these things before, but he just thought of the results of Lu Fangting's previous life, and felt that his reputation was as important as his life.
What's more, as early as the moment she decided to commit to Xie Yunzhou, Qingyu had nothing to do with her.
"The courtiers and Lu Shizi hit it off at first sight, he was kind and kind, the courtiers just hoped that God could have a little mercy on him, as for the rest, the courtiers didn't think about him."
Zhu Wei listened expressionlessly, reached out and touched his chin, his eyes fell on the corpse of the goddess, and his eyebrows narrowed slightly.
"What about this goddess? Someone saw you and her pulling and pulling on the street yesterday, as if there was some kind of conflict, how can Mrs. Pei San explain this? ”
Shen Lingyu sighed when he heard this.
"Before, she went to the General's Mansion to summon the soul, and the courtiers thanked her for letting me hear her husband's last words, so she gave her a large sum of money, and after getting the money, she left Shengjing and disappeared."
"Who would have thought that she suddenly appeared yesterday and said that she helped me summon my soul because of breaking the taboo, so that I was punished by heaven, and only by breaking the fortune can I resolve it."
Speaking of this, she looked up at Zhu Wei, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
"But yesterday I just came to Dali Temple to send 10,000 taels of silver, and I really didn't have any money, so I quarreled with the goddess, but she said that if the punishment can't be broken, I will have trouble myself, no way, I had to grit my teeth and give her a hundred taels of silver tickets."
"Now that I think about it, the courtiers really shouldn't have to deal with her for a little silver, won't they get into trouble now?"
Zhu Wei listened silently and laughed when he heard the words.
"Mrs. Pei San is really sharp-toothed."
Shen Lingyu frowned unhappily when he saw him mocking himself like this.
"I wish you, my lord, what the courtiers said is true, after coming out of the Zhenbei Wang's courtyard, I parted ways with the goddess, she was still alive and well at that time, and I have returned to the general's mansion, if you don't believe it, you can let the lady do an autopsy, just find out the time of the goddess's death, and I can prove the innocence of the minister!"
Zhu Wei stared at her, and for the first time felt that she could enter Xie Yunzhou's eyes, and it was not entirely by virtue of this face.
He really hasn't let her do an autopsy, but since the body was found, all kinds of coincidences point to her as the murderer, so he can't let her go.
But after so many years of handling cases, how could he not know the truth that "all coincidences are man-made".
Someone was deliberately framing her.
Fortunately, she was not slow to react, and she thought of a solution so quickly.
It's a pity that he still can't let her go.
With her current situation, only staying in Dali Temple can make the people behind her relax their vigilance, and she is the safest here.
Thinking so, Zhu Wei frowned, and raised his voice to call the guards.
"Temporarily put Mrs. Pei San in a cell, and after the official finds out the truth, she will be disposed of separately!"
"Best wishes, sir!"
Shen Lingyu panicked.
The words were very clear to him, how could this wish be like this.
Could it be that he was also instructed by the county lord of Yining?
"I wish you, my lord, you are the secretary of Dali Temple, and you detain the imperial court without authorization under the condition of insufficient evidence, are you not afraid that the emperor will confess to you after knowing about this!"
Zhu Wei was unmoved and said: "Third Mrs. Pei, this official is also for your good, instead of being angry at this official, it is better to think about who you have offended recently in the prison cell." ”
As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand and asked the guards to forcibly pull Shen Lingyu down.
Shen Lingyu gritted her teeth in anger, but what could she do, now she could only hope that Zhu Wei would not really be in the same league as the county lord of Yining, otherwise......
Otherwise, she will pull them as backs even if she dies!
In the public court, Zhu Wei looked at Shen Lingyu's indignant back, his gaze retracted, and fell on the corpse of the goddess, just wanted to call someone to come to the autopsy, but in an instant, he heard that the prince of Zhenbei was coming.
Zhu Wei's mind moved, and he got up unhurriedly.
When I walked to the door of the public hall, I just met the Lu Fang Pavilion.
I wish you to bow with your hands together without humility or arrogance.
"I've seen Lu Shizi."
Lu Fangting said straight to the point: "I wish you all the best to be polite, I came to the door rashly, but I really came here for the matter of Mrs. Pei San." ”
When Zhu Wei heard this, there was no surprise on his face, only a smile indifferently.
"What clues did Lu Shizi find?"
Lu Fangting pursed his lips and shook his head, as soon as he heard that Shen Lingyu had an accident, he was busy asking Suiyuan to bring him to Dali Temple.
There were no clues, but he knew that Shen Lingyu would never kill anyone.
"Lord Zhu, although the goddess was brought to the other courtyard by Mrs. Pei San, Mrs. Pei San is extremely important to her, and it is impossible to kill her."
Zhu Weigang didn't say anything: "But this official decides the case and only talks about evidence, so the prince should go back, after finding out the truth and confirming that the death of the goddess has nothing to do with Mrs. Pei San, the official will let her go." ”
Lu Fangting frowned when he heard this, although he was a little displeased with Zhu Wei's words, but he really couldn't find anything wrong, pursed his lips, and had to let Sui Yuan push himself away.
I didn't want to go to the gate of Dali Temple, but I met Xie Yunzhou head-on.
Lu Fangting was not familiar with him, and with a slight bow, he could be regarded as saying hello.
Xie Yunzhou didn't have anything to say to him, and walked straight inside with an awe-inspiring expression.
In the next moment, he heard Lu Fangting's instructions to his subordinates.
"Send someone to the street to ask carefully, and see if anyone has noticed where Mrs. Pei San and the goddess left the house yesterday."
"Yes!"
Xie Yunzhou paused, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer.
