Murong Xiu only heard the little guy in the house mention Qi Ming's matter on the second day. He was having breakfast with Princess Xiu, and when he heard the news, his face was cloudy, and even Princess Liu Suyuan couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

"Bump"!

Murong Xiu suddenly became troubled and overturned a table of carefully prepared breakfast, "Have you found the murderer?" ”

The little guy was a little scared, his legs and stomach were trembling slightly, and his speech was not clear, "Mo ...... No, it was too dark at the time, and I didn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but I heard that Lord Qi's family said that it was a woman in red. ”

"Woman?" Murong Xiu didn't have to guess to have already selected the suspect, "Chu Luan, Chu Luan, this time...... I'll see what you do! After saying that, he laughed uncontrollably again, and the whole room echoed with his wild and cold laughter, which made people's hearts furious.

Soon, Murong Xiu reported this matter to the emperor, and it was only when Chu Luan was declared that everyone knew that Chu Luan had never returned to Zhenbei Houfu since Zhang Sheng's family was executed. No one even knew where she lived. In the end, it was Xuan Jun who went out of the customs ahead of schedule and asked Yunu to bring people back, only to learn that Chu Luan had bought a new house, which was separated by two streets from the town north of the Houfu.

Chu Luan was once again brought to the main hall for interrogation, and he was still a group of old acquaintances.

Knowing that Chu Luan had moved out of the Houfu in the north of the town, the emperor's attitude towards Chu Luan was not as good as before, and as soon as he came up, he scolded her and Qi Ming sitting on the rattan chair: "You guys really don't feel comfortable if you don't make trouble for me for a day, right!" ”

"Your Majesty's anger is at ease—" The ministers knelt down and begged the Son of Heaven to calm their anger.

Chu Luan knelt straight in the center of the hall, this time Murong Chuyao didn't let her stand up first, but directly began to ask: "I ask you, do you know about the murder of the head of the Criminal Guard?" ”

"The courtiers know."

"Does that have anything to do with you?"

Chu Luan didn't blink his eyes, calm and calm, "It's irrelevant." ”

The emperor looked at her indifferent look and didn't know what to do, so he asked Qi Ming the details of that night first. "Qi Ming, you say, what happened that night?"

Qi Ming was seriously injured, his right hand tendon was broken, and he was stabbed in one eye, and even that was injured at all. He looked at Chu Luan with a hideous face, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, a few ministers." Passing by Jinyan Street at night, I met a woman who asked me for directions, and I was kind enough to guide her, but she took advantage of my unpreparedness to seriously injure me. ”

Murong Xiu suddenly stood up, "Then have you seen that person's appearance clearly?" ”

"The minister was lucky to lift her veil, and the person who came was the county lord!"

"It's a big matter, Lord Qi can think clearly before answering!" Qin Hai's voice was like a bell, which showed that he was angry.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to talk nonsense, not only the ministers have seen it, but also the cheap ones and the family members in the house have seen it."

Murong Chuyao waved his hand, and was about to let Mrs. Xuanqi of Zhaoqing and the family go to the palace.

Chu Luan let out a sneer, breaking the dull atmosphere of the main hall.

Murong Chuyao asked, "Chu Luan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Chu Luan straightened his color, "Your Majesty, don't you really think this scene is particularly familiar?" ”

Murong Chuyao: ......

At that time, Wu Yong's case seemed to be the same.

"If you want to add sin, why not? Your Majesty, Lord Qi's so-called evidence is just his words, if you only listen to his words, I am afraid that it will be discredited. Chu Luan knelt on the hall without being humble or arrogant, "Lord Qi is bullying the king, Your Majesty must be aware and return Chu Luan's innocence." ”

"What you pretend to be innocent, it's clear that you ......"

Before Qi Ming finished speaking, Chu Luan interrupted him, "Lord Qi dares to say this, it's just because you think I have a reason to kill you." In the same way, you and I have deep grievances, but do you know that you didn't direct and act in this good show to frame me in order to get rid of me? ”

"I ......"

"County Lord, you can't help but think too much, who would make such a bloody investment in order to frame you?" Murong Xiu's eyes were sharp, as if he was about to stare Chu Luan out of a hole.

Chu Luan smiled lightly, "Who knows this?" After all, Lord Qi himself is a despicable villain who will do whatever it takes. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Isn't it!" Chu Luan lowered his voice, his eyes were ruthless, as if he was about to peel Qi Ming's skin and bones, "What kind of dirty things did you do in order to force Zhang Sheng to confess, you don't need me to remind you!" ”

"What did she know ......?"

"Do you think I'm blind and deaf?"

Qi Ming looked at Chu Luan's ruthless expression, and was inexplicably a little afraid, "You...... It's you! You are resentful of Zhang Sheng's case, and you want to put me to death! ”

"County Lord, not only do you have the motive to kill Qi Ming, but unfortunately, you have exposed your ability to kill Qi Ming before, do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you now!" Murong Xiu continued to get involved, and he had a feeling that he would not give up if he didn't kill Chu Luan today.

Chu Luan scoffed at their mad dog behavior of being in a hurry, "If the prince wants to think like this, what can Chu Luan do?" ”

"Hmph, the county lord doesn't have to be hard-mouthed, this king has his own way to make you confess."

Facing Murong Xiu's threat, Chu Luan didn't care, but Chu Luan suddenly thought of something, and stood up directly in shock, "You dare to touch her!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Murong Chuyao saw that the two of them were getting more and more tense, so he had to come forward to stop him, "What kind of place should you be!" ”

Murong Xiu was quick to admit his mistake, but he was still ruthless, "County Lord, I know that you feel sorry for that child, it's better for you to confess early, and I will save me a lot of trouble, right?" ”

"I think you're so clever at coercing confessions, but it's not like that in the end? You deceive people so much that you really think I won't resist? As she spoke, Chu Luan clenched her fists, ready to make a move at any time, even if she risked her life, she couldn't let Luoyin miss anything.

Murong Xiu asked, "County Lord, since you said that you were wronged, then where were you that night?" ”

"She's with me." Murong Jin walked up to the hall.

The emperor saw Murong Jin suddenly appear, and although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't show it. Just asked him why he left the house suddenly, did he figure it out?

Now Murong Jin is dressed in plain clothes, and his expression is a little haggard, but he is not sluggish, even if he is thin, he will not lose half of his bones, "Father, the son has been thinking a lot recently, and with the patient persuasion of the county lord, I also understand my father's good intentions." Today's son-in-law originally planned to come back later to ask his father for guilt, but when he heard that the county lord had been framed, he thought about coming earlier to return the county lord's innocence. ”

Chu Luan raised his eyes and looked at it, just in time to meet Murong Jin's gaze, and the two of them were separated with one touch.

Chu Luan was a little surprised that Murong Jin came forward to help, after all, when she went to see him before, the other party didn't seem to want to see her, and she could only ask Daisy and Zhixia to send things to King Jin's Mansion for her, which could be regarded as a heart.

"Ah Jin, how do you know that the county lord must be innocent? Qi Ming had seen it with his own eyes, and that person was the county lord. Murong Xiu didn't believe his words, he firmly believed that the person who assassinated Qi Ming must be Chu Luan.

Murong Jin explained unhurriedly: "On the day of the incident, the county lord happened to be a guest at the mansion, and he also said a lot of confidant words to this king. However, when the county lord left, the old illness suddenly became offended, and the retainer arranged for her to rest in the guest room of the palace, and sent a letter to the national teacher's mansion, and the national teacher also knew about it, and he also sent the jade slave daughter to take care of the palace. ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed the armrest of the dragon chair, and did not say whether he believed it or not, but asked Qi Ming again: "The confessions of the two of you are obviously in conflict, and one of them must be lying." Qi Ming, did you really see the other party's face clearly at that time? ”

Qi Ming didn't expect that Murong Jin suddenly came out to stir up the situation, what should he do now? Not to mention that he didn't see the other party's face clearly at all, and even if he did, he didn't have any witnesses. Isn't it slaughtered by others then?

"Minister...... Minister...... The minister remembers, it seems to ......"

"It seems? Licentious! The emperor's right hand slammed into the table in front of him, "Human life is a matter of heaven, how can you be allowed to play!" ”

Murong Xiu saw that the situation was not right, and also echoed, "Qi Ming, what you have seen has to be told truthfully, but you can't learn from some traitors to bully the king." After speaking, he gave Murong Jin a meaningful look.

The latter is directly ignored.

Qi Ming began to tremble all over, and he couldn't speak well, and he no longer had an aggressive momentum, "Minister...... The minister did not see it clearly. ”

"Bold!" Qin Hai stood up, "Your Majesty, Lord Qi didn't see the true face of the murderer, but he insisted that it was the county lord who did it, not only treating human life as a child's play, but also deceiving the monarch, and asking Your Majesty to surrender the crime." ”

"Lord Qin, this Lord Qi has wronged Zhenbei Hou's daughter, not your daughter, Zhenbei Hou has not spoken yet, why are you in a hurry?" Shen Shangshu saw that the situation was about to involve Murong Xiu, and hurriedly stood up and caused trouble.

Qin Hai was full of righteousness, and seemed to want to fight for all the innocent people in the world, "Weichen is just a person who can't bear to be wronged." Hou Ye refused to speak out, because he had his own considerations, in order not to be partial and prevent unfair handling of cases. ”

I don't know if he really doesn't know, or if he pretends to be confused, and uses such a set of arguments to excuse Chu Xu and treat them as fools.

Shen Shangshu wanted to say something, but Wei Li suddenly interrupted him, "The minister thinks that what Lord Qin said is reasonable, I didn't expect that Lord Hou was so fair and honest. ”

After Wei Li finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Chu Luan, quite proud. As if to say: Look, I have helped you so much, should you also thank me?

Who knew that Chu Luan kept staring at his knees and didn't give him a look.

Chu Xu didn't speak from beginning to end, the father and daughter were so stiff, and neither of them paid attention to each other.

"That is, Qi Ming has eaten too much wine and is dazzled. Wronged the county lord. Father, according to what his sons and ministers saw, it is better to punish Qi Ming for three months, so that he can have a long memory; and rewarded the lord with some treasures as compensation. This case might as well be handed over to Dali Temple to investigate. ”

At this point in the trial, it doesn't matter what the truth is. Murong Chuyao didn't want to waste time in these places, so he went with Murong Xiu.

But how could Murong Xiu be the kind of person who was willing to give up?

"Anyway, Ah Jin, you are really true, how can you leave the county lord in the mansion casually. Not to mention that the county lord has not yet left the cabinet, I heard that the prince of Mohan and the county lord have a marriage contract. As he spoke, his eyes kept going back and forth between Chu Luan and Mo Han in the crowd, "Mo Han Shizi, don't you go to your heart." ”

All kinds of discussions in the hall became arrogant again, and they all stared at Mo Han and Chu Luan like watching a play.

Mo Han's face couldn't get over, his face flickered brightly and darkly, his hands clenched into fists, and his muscles burst out. But I had to laugh again: "The prince is serious......"

"My marriage contract with the son of the world has long been nullified." Chu Luan's face was indifferent, and there was no trace of emotion in his words.

"Ah......" Murong Xiu pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly asked Chu Xu, who was standing on the verge of becoming a Buddha, "Master Hou, is there such a thing?" ”

"You don't know, Chu Luan met a confidant when he was in Jiangnan. I fell in love with him, and I almost made a private decision for life. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't sit still. Mo Han couldn't wait to crush his teeth, Qin Hai looked helpless, he didn't expect her to really say it, Chu Xu's eyes were about to fall to the ground, one hand was restless in front of him, ready to pick it up at any time, Murong Chuyao couldn't hold his breath anymore, and was about to turn his face immediately, Murong Yu felt a little empathy.

Murong Xiu became interested, "Oh? Then why didn't the county lord stay with that man and go back to the capital with him? ”

Chu Luan's face was not sad or happy, not sad or annoyed, as if he was saying another trivial matter like eating and dressing, "He is dead." ”

The audience sighed again.

Murong Xiu was unrelenting, "How did you die?" ”

Chu Luan smiled this time, but she didn't have half a smile on her face, "Doesn't the prince know?" Chu Luan Tiansha Lone Star, where is someone worthy of being so good to me? Although he is gone, Chu Luan has already made a vow to keep the festival for him for three years, and now it is the third year. ”

“……”

Rao is such a hard-hearted Murong Yu, and a sinister and cunning person will inevitably be stunned when he hears Chu Luan's story. Chu Luan is really a powerful woman, so many things have happened to her, but she still looks like a nobody, he hates Chu Luan very much, and now he hates it even more. At the same time, he is very jealous, born in the royal family, not only can he not have sincerity, but few people around him will treat him sincerely, even if he has ten out of ten sincerity, after suspicion, there are only fifty left. And fifty percent is often more dangerous than not having a sincere heart.
