Chapter 53: Does It Matter Who Dies?

Hearing this scream, Wen Ling's first reaction was déjà vu, and then he wanted to quickly meet Gongye Han.

She hurried towards the source of the sound, shaking her head despite the sheer steps on her head.

The voice came from the side of the chamber, but fortunately she came out to breathe, close to the chamber.

In the distance, I saw that the door of a side room was wide open, and the light was shining inside.

She climbed the stairs to the bottom of the porch, and a man flashed around the corner behind her.

"Wen Ling," Gong Yehan stopped her and stepped forward to take her hand, "Let's go." ”

When Gongye Han saw her leave the table, he came out to look for her, but he didn't expect to hear a scream on the way.

Wen Ling nodded, and the two went to the wing room together.

In addition to the first person to find the body, they were the first to arrive at the scene.

That scene, Wen Ling didn't want to watch it for the second time in his life.

A female corpse lay on the bed.

Naked, legs apart, abdomen stabbed.

The blood stained the bed red, and then flowed down to the ground, like countless long snakes winding to the feet of Wenling.

Blood turns the entire room red.

When they arrived, Wen Chuan was staggering up from his chair, his clothes all stained with blood, and he still had a dagger in his hand.

Wen Ling quickly cut off the bed curtain with the knife in the bracelet and covered the corpse.

In addition to blood and wounds, there were many bruises on the corpse.

He was raped and killed.

Wen Ling couldn't bear to look at it, but she recognized the dead.

She said: "The person who died is Chen Ziyun. ”

Wen Chuan came to his senses at this time and threw away the dagger like a hot hand.

Rao is a person like him who has been on a bloody battlefield, and he has never seen such a scene.

On the battlefield, killing people is for self-preservation, not for humiliation and fun. Even if you die and ten thousand arrows pierce your heart, you will leave some dignity for the enemy.

It would not be like this, to use such a horrific killing method on a weak woman.

What kind of animal could commit such a crime?!

Gong Yehan closed the door, walked over, bent down and wrapped the dagger in a handkerchief and picked it up.

Outside, there was the sound of regular footsteps and the sound of armor.

He had just asked Dexi to order the Imperial Guards to cordon off the scene, but fortunately, the Imperial Guards were fast enough.

And the guests followed.

Hulala, a large group of people surrounded the door, and if it weren't for the Royal Forest Army, they would have broken in.

The first to protest was Hua Yaozuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Your Majesty, if there is a murder inside, you should let the Criminal Department go in to investigate and collect evidence, instead of letting the Imperial Forest Army seal the room."

A crowd of people followed him.

Chen Shiji, who liked to take the lead in the past, did not say anything this time.

The maidservant came to report just now, and there was some chaos at the banquet, but he never found his daughter.

On the other side of the door, Wen Chuan was trying to recall what happened: "I drank too much and felt a headache, so I went to the courtyard to blow the wind, and a maid came over and said that Your Majesty was looking for me and brought me to the wing."

"At that time I wondered why His Majesty was here to see me, and there was no light in the room, but as soon as I entered the room, I fainted with a headache.

"When I woke up again, I saw you."

Such a despicable method is exactly the same as the last time Concubine Shu fell into the water.

Wen Ling said: "It seems that someone deliberately set up a game, but I am afraid that the ultimate goal of this game is not you, but me and Your Majesty." ”

Wen Chuan is the commander of the forbidden army, and if something happens to him, the forbidden army forces may not still be in the hands of the emperor.

"Do you remember what the maidservant looked like?" Gong Yehan asked.

Wen Chuan shook his head: "I had a headache at that time, and it was dark, so I didn't pay attention. ”

Wen Ling said: "Even if she can recognize the maid, it is useless, since it is a design to frame, she can deny Wen Chuan's statement." ”

The people waited outside, but there was no movement inside.

When I was anxious, the door creaked open.

Gong Yehan and Wen Ling came out of it.

Everyone looked through the gap, but the light was dim and they didn't see anything.

The two stood under the eaves of the porch, blocking the door.

"There is indeed a murder here, but this case is going to be tried by the royal court, Dexi, go and send an order to gather all the people in the palace here."

"Yes." Dexi received the order.

Hua Yaozuo stepped forward again and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the maidservant girl came to report that it was Commander Wen who killed the person, dare to ask Commander Wen if he is inside?" ”

He was standing at the bottom of the steps, a few steps away from Gongye Han.

The distance of these few steps was enough for him to feel the coercion in Gongye Han's tone.

"Shouldn't Hua Shangshu ask who the deceased is first?"

"Isn't it the maidservant of the house?"

Gongye Han only glanced at him coldly, and then said to Chen Shiji, who was standing behind: "Chen Shangshu, if you want, you can go in and take a last look." ”

As soon as these words fell, the birds were silent.

Everyone automatically made way for Chen Shiji, but only Hua Yaozuo stood in place in a daze and did not move.

He couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.

The deceased should be a maid in King Ping's mansion, which is also what King Ping told him before coming today.

How did the deceased become Chen Aster?

Chen Shiji is old and has a son, only Chen Ziyun has such a daughter, who hurts like a baby on weekdays, and she doesn't dare to give the moon to the stars, she is nineteen years old, and she is reluctant to marry at home.

Everyone's sympathetic gaze fell on Chen Shiji.

He walked slowly and came to the bottom of the steps, as if it were difficult to lift his feet.

The last time Concubine Shu fell into the water, it was he who took the lead in abolishing the reserve, and Wen Ling still remembers that he was aggressive and unforgiving to King Peace at that time.

But Chen Ziyun died so miserably, and Wen Ling couldn't bear it. "Chen Shangshu, Ling Ai's death is really ...... Hongu advises you that it is better not to look at it. ”

Chen Shiji's footsteps only paused for a moment, and then continued to walk inside.

Wen Ling also followed, afraid that he would have a conflict with Wen Chuan.

Soon, there was a wailing and weeping sound from inside.

Gong Yehan continued the question just now: "Hua Aiqing, I'm very curious, you haven't seen the deceased, how do you know that the deceased is a maidservant in King Ping's mansion?" ”

"This ...... This is what the person who came to the newspaper just now. ”

The amount of the drug in Gongye Feng was not large, and after waking up, he immediately rushed to the side room, and met the royal forest army looking for him on the way.

When I arrived in the courtyard in front of the wing, I happened to see the ugly maid who had found the scene of the murder being brought to everyone.

Her already terrifying face was now even more dazzling with nervousness and panic.

"I ask you, why are you so sure that the dead man was a handmaid?"

"Slave, slave...... I saw it wrong, the light was too dim, yes, yes, it was the light that was too dim, so the slave maid was wrong. ”

Hearing that the maid said that she had seen something wrong, Gongye Feng felt that it was wrong, so he asked Hua Yaozuo in a low voice.

Hua Yaozuo's face was solemn and said, "The person who died is Chen Shiji's daughter. ”

"What?!"

Gong Yefeng almost exclaimed in surprise, causing Gong Ye Han to glance at him.

He quickly returned to normal, and his mind began to quickly review what had gone wrong.

The dead person should obviously be a servant, how could he become Chen Ziyun?

Ning Zhilan whispered beside him: "The person who died is Chen Ziyun, the prince seems to be very surprised?" ”

When she asked this, Ning Zhilan didn't look at him, and her face was indifferent.

But these words were like a lightning strike, which shook Gongye Feng violently.

Some time ago, when he was entangled with Chen Ziyun, he was bumped into by Ning Zhilan. Ning Zhilan didn't say anything at that time, he thought that this kind of thing was just ordinary for a feudal woman like Ning Zhilan.

But now that she asked, it seemed that she had known his plan for a long time, and that she did not care about his splits as she seemed.

He asked in a low voice, "But you don't seem surprised?" ”

Ning Zhilan turned her head to look at him at this time, and said leisurely: "People are going to die sooner or later, when they die, where they die, and how they die, does it matter?" ”

Does it matter?

Of course it doesn't matter.

The deceased is the daughter of a court official, which will only make things bigger and make it more difficult for Wen Chuan to get away with it.

That's a good thing for his plan.

But the important thing is that he doesn't allow himself to be calculated by Ning Zhilan!

She is just the bond she uses to bind the Yasukuni Mansion, but she is an NPC, and she is still an ugly NPC.

When he saw the maid next to Ning Zhilan being disfigured by her, he knew that she had gone crazy. Unexpectedly, she was so bold that she dared to calculate him without authorization.

A woman who dares to touch him?!

What did she think she was?

Gong Yefeng looked at her, his eyes became fierce a little bit.

Gong Yehan said again: "I ask you again, have you ever seen Commander Wen kill people with your own eyes?" ”

"Look, see."

"Oh?" Gongye Han raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, when you arrived at the scene, Wen Chuan was holding a knife to commit murder?" ”

"The slave saw and saw that Commander Wen was holding a knife in his hand, and his body was covered in blood ......"

The maid's face turned pale, as if she was frightened by the memory of the scene, and she kept her head down, and she couldn't speak.

And this kind of answer that avoided the important and trivialized and tried to confuse the public made Gong Yehan, who was already impatient, instantly boil with murderous intent.

His deep and cold voice asked word by word: "If you dare to answer the wrong question, you will be confused, and I will have peeled off your skin." ”

The servant girl knelt down and said intermittently: "When the slave and the slave arrived, I saw Commander Wen sitting on a chair with a knife in his hand and in his hand, and the slave and maid did not see him kill with their own eyes......

"So, you misunderstood the identity of the deceased, and you didn't see Wen Chuan committing the murder, so you shouted at him to kill the maidservant?"

"Slave, slave...... Thought it was ......"

"What a 'thought'."

Gongye Han looked at her with a face full of frost.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die......"

The maidservant kowtowed, and all that was in her mouth was words begging for mercy.

After a short time, all the guests in the house, the subordinates, and the nursing home were all gathered.

The guards and maidens have already begun to search their bodies, and neither the servants nor the guests will be spared.

Some people expressed dissatisfaction and came to the wedding banquet well, but they were searched as suspects.

Gongye Feng was even more anxious, if it weren't for the accident in the plan, Wen Chuan would have been detained and convicted by the Criminal Department by now.

But Gong Yehan has been searching his body, as if he has mastered some way to help Wen Chuan get rid of his crimes.

If this continues, they will lose the initiative.

Wen Chuan's charges must be confirmed!

He gave Hua Yaozuo a look, and Hua Yaozuo stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to be interrogated, you should go in and investigate by the Criminal Department, instead of letting the Imperial Forest Army search her body here, even if this maid did not see the murder process with her own eyes, Commander Wen is also the biggest suspect in this case, and should be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, how can he be allowed to continue to stay at the scene and destroy the evidence!" ”

The officials present echoed suit.

"yes, the suspect should be put in jail first, no matter what."

"Your Majesty, this case should first be collected by the Criminal Department at the scene."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and Concubine Wen should avoid it."

"Your Majesty......"
