Chapter 158: Meeting for the Sake of Drinking (2)
But the evidence and material evidence in this matter are all there, and the guards of the Li Mansion and the maid who first came to the lobby unanimously identified Li Sanmu as Gu Yeyang's assassination, so that nothing else can be found at all, and Gu Yeyang can only be locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department all the time.
Du Weizhen didn't see Gu Yeyang, and even asked him about the palace maid who arranged for him to serve him in the side hall of the East Palace, and said that he hadn't seen him come back for several days, so he became suspicious.
I deliberately inquired, and then I learned that Gu Yeyang was accused of assassinating Master Li and locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and I didn't want to believe it, knowing that he must have gone to the Li Mansion to inquire about the assassin's affairs, and planned to tell the matter, so he rushed to the Criminal Department.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Criminal Department, and it was Wei Chen who was far away. ”
Du Weizhen waited for a long time when he arrived at the Criminal Department, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department came out of it, with a frightened face, he didn't expect the prince to come in person, it seems that Gu Yeyang's identity is not trivial, fortunately, he was waiting for him at the time, or he would not be held accountable, and he would not be able to eat and walk around.
Secretly wipe the sweat from the corners of the forehead.
"Go and bring Gu Yeyang out, the palace will interrogate him personally, and go and bring over the guards who pointed out that Gu Yeyang was the murderer of Master Li."
Shangshu of the Criminal Department choked in his heart, the prince wanted to solve it privately, but no matter what he thought in his heart, he didn't dare to delay in action, so he hurriedly went down, personally went to bring Gu Yeyang out respectfully, and ordered his subordinates to find those guards.
"Prince, I messed things up and caused you trouble."
Gu Yeyang knew that it must be Du Weizhen who was here from the moment he saw the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and after seeing him, he was even more guilty, he was not enough to succeed and more than he could lose, if the prince only blamed himself, it would be fine, if he complained about the master, then he would be a big sin.
Unexpectedly, Du Weizhen didn't mean to blame, he glanced at Gu Yeyang, except that his clothes were a little messy, there was no injury, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I naturally believe that you are not the murderer of Master Li, and I will return your innocence." ”
Gu Yeyang was a little moved.
Those guards were brought over, and Fan Er was among them, his face was calm, and he showed a look of righteous indignation when he saw Gu Yeyang still at the beginning.
After knowing Du Weizhen's identity, several people immediately saluted, and they were sincerely afraid.
"Did you see Master Li assassinated by Gu Yeyang?" Du Weizhen leaned back on the Taishi chair, his eyes were sharp, and he looked directly at Fan Er.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Several people spoke in unison.
"Tell me about the scene." Du Weizhen pointed at Fan Er, his eyes did not leave him for a moment, observing his expression.
Fan Er's face was panicked, and he stood up tremblingly, just looking at his performance, it was really the same as the performance of a commoner when he saw the royal family and nobles, Du Weizhen's pupils shrank, this person is really deep.
"Your Highness, when the little one entered the lobby with a few brothers that day, I saw Lord Gu beside you sitting next to the dead Lord Li, the ground was covered with blood, and the rope on his body was also untied, and after the little one left, only Lord Gu and my family were left in the lobby."
With such a narrative, if it weren't for Du Weizhen's great belief in Mu Shengbai and the people he valued, he would definitely have put the suspicion on Gu Yeyang.
Du Weizhen and Gu Yeyang looked at each other, their index fingers pointed at Fan Er, Gu Yeyang understood what he meant, nodded, and stood out.
"I remember that I was brought back to the Li Mansion by you stunning, and according to your statement, I was tied, in that case, how can I have the ability to untie the rope by myself?"
Fan Er looked at him with hatred on his face, fully deduced the identity of a loyal guard, and replied fluently, "I told Lord Li about your identity before, and your lord may be in trust in His Royal Highness the Prince, and I think you must not be a bad person, so I let go of you, where did I think of your wolf ambition!" ”
Gu Yeyang had no waves or laziness on his face, and the speed of his question was extremely fast, almost as soon as Fan Er answered him, he had the next question.
"You also said that Lord Li helped me untie it, that is, none of you saw it with your own eyes, how do you know that someone else sneaked in to assassinate Lord Li?"
"No way, a few of us were guarding outside, and we didn't notice anyone coming in!"
"Could it be one of you? To be more precise, it could be you, sneak in and kill Master Li, and then blame me! ”
"Don't you want to spew blood, I've been with a few brothers?"
"All the time? Are you sure you haven't been apart during this time? ”
Fan Er froze, looked at the few guards standing next to him who were confused by their rapid conversation, and sneered: "People have three urgencies, and we all take turns to go to the toilet." ”
"That means you have left alone, and in the morning did you see with your own eyes that I killed Master Li?"
"You're alone in the lobby, not who you are."
Gu Yeyang sneered, "As soon as I woke up, I saw Lord Li's corpse, and that maid had just run out, so you brought someone over in time, I'm afraid you weren't prepared." ”
"Where were you that day? Why did you come to the lobby so quickly? Du Weizhen saw that Fan Er had already shown obvious nervousness, and looked at the few guards next to him.
A guard showed contemplation, and then said: "That day, Fan Er told us that he was afraid that Master Gu would run away after waking up, so he had to hide next to the lobby and watch, so as soon as we heard that the maid said that the adult was killed, we rushed over. ”
Gu Yeyang's eyes suddenly became fierce and aggressive, "If you are really afraid that I will get up and run away, why don't you just tie me up and run away, but choose to guard in the lobby, isn't it more laborious?" Presumably you came to frame me sooner. ”
"I ...... I ......"
Fan Er panicked, and wanted to open his mouth to explain something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
These guards were suspicious, and looked at Fan Er with a frown.
"Lord Li is so kind to me, how could I possibly kill Lord Li?" Fan Er's face was white, but he moved to the door one by one.
Gu Yeyang saw his purpose, and wanted to rush forward with an arrow step, but he didn't expect the man to react faster, turned around and flew towards the door, which can be said to confirm that he himself was the assassin who killed Lord Li.
Gu Yeyang chased him out, but that day's light skills were excellent, Gu Yeyang couldn't catch up at all, and he was about to flee, when a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared outside, and the one who took the lead in front was the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
It didn't take long for Fan Er to be tied up and thrown in front of Du Weizhen.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really like a god." The Shangshu sweat of the Criminal Department was raining down, Du Weizhen just asked him to lead the troops to guard the door half an hour later before asking him to bring Gu Yeyang, but he didn't expect to really catch the ill-intentioned criminal, or the one who swore that Gu Yeyang was the murderer's guard.
