Chapter 31: The Homicide
It is extremely unlucky for a dead person to appear on the night of the Lantern Festival. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, because both parties involved in the case have a lot of backgrounds, the old man Qingtian can't be delayed, and hurriedly opens the court overnight to try the case.
Leng Huan herself would not stay in a place like the public court, so she left her personal maid Ruo'er behind. Ruo'er represents the princess, so naturally she will not kneel for him. And Shen Mo is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although she is just a concubine, she does not have the timidity of a concubine, but she looks like a real concubine. Because he couldn't figure out Shen Mo's status in Prime Minister Shen's heart, he didn't dare to let her kneel easily!
But Ruo'er next to him stopped doing it, and had to kneel down Shen Mo. The lively crowd outside the lobby instantly deepened their disgust with the princess's master and servant. Lord Qingtian wiped the sweat from his forehead, pretended not to hear Ruo'er's words, and slapped the shocked wood with a serious face: "Quiet! ”
Ruo'er was angry in her heart, but she couldn't do it, and she was thinking about how to sue the princess after she went back.
Lord Qingtian began to try the case under huge psychological pressure. He was shocked and quickly put on an official tone: "Who is standing in the hall, and what do you want to sue?" ”
Ruo'er immediately preemptively said: "Palace maid Ruo'er, the slave and maid master, Princess Huan, accused the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion of killing the princess guard!" ”
Lord Qingtian turned his head to Shen Mo, "What she said, is it true?" ”
Shen Mo's eyes raised slightly, and his cold gaze made him feel cold, which made him even more afraid to underestimate her. She said lightly: "If you want to add sin, why bother? ”
When everyone heard her say this, they were so anxious that they secretly patted their thighs in their hearts, girl~ You can't say that, you have to explain! Look at the princess's maid next to her, she is fierce and vicious, and it is not easy to deal with at first glance. Of course, they just think about it, and they haven't really dared to shout out loud.
Shen Mo silently felt the breath behind him. The heart is impetuous, the chest is angry and angry, but it is shrouded in fear. Well, yes, it's the effect she wants! She didn't expect this group of ordinary people to stand up and testify to her. After all, since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, not to mention, they have just learned the cruelty of Princess Huan! They have only one role, and that is to help them quell the rumors. Some time ago, she was affected by Shen Qiang's notoriety, and she looked at her strangely everywhere she went. Although she doesn't mind, but Yanxiao minds, solve this trouble, lest she sigh in front of her all day long. Besides, if her reputation is too stinky, how can she carry it out smoothly in the future?
Although everyone is constantly anxious for this silly girl, they also secretly admire this girl's arrogance, one to say one, two to say two, and she is not afraid of the shadow. At this time, someone in the crowd recognized Shen Mo, "Isn't this Miss Shen San, the sister of Miss Shen, who had a bad reputation some time ago?" ”
Someone immediately came out to retort, "What nonsense! Miss Shen is Miss Shen, look at the demeanor of the third lady standing in the hall, where is it a little similar to that eldest lady! ”
"Alas~ It's a poor girl who was burdened by her uncompetitive sister!" It was a white-haired old man who spoke.
Someone suddenly made a silent gesture, he lowered his voice and said: "Be quiet, that eldest lady is not good now, she is also the prince's concubine, can she know it?" ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stopped talking. Only the old man snorted coldly and said: "People are watching the sky, let's not say it, the big guys understand it in their hearts, don't they?" ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Shen Mo hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and happened to be seen by Ruo'er. Ruo'er sneered, see if you can laugh later!
This case is too extensive, and if you are not careful, it may attract the wrath of the Son of Heaven. For now, we can only have an open and fair trial! Lord Qingtian touched his short beard and thought to himself. He raised his hand and ordered the official to bring Huanyi's body, and asked him to come for an autopsy.
The man who came was a thin middle-aged man. He walked to the lobby to meet the Qingtian Lord and secretly glanced at him, only to see him shake his head slightly. Meaning absolutely fair! But he mistook his intentions, thinking that he told him not to find out anything.
With this in mind, he began to pretend to examine the corpse. After a cursory examination, he reported the result: this person died for no reason!
When the Qingtian Lord heard this, he scolded him a hundred times in his heart, this stupid, who believes this reason for death! He couldn't sit still, he was originally in neutrality, but this idiot pulled him to Miss Shen San's side! Although he didn't think so, everyone would misunderstand him now!
The people at the door originally believed that Miss Shen San did not kill anyone, but this hand made them hesitate. Even Yun Mo, who was standing in the crowd, felt that it was the Qingtian Lord's heart. Because he really saw Shen Mo shoot out three silver needles at that time, and one of them was shot at Princess Huan, but he stopped him.
Facing the restless crowd, Shen Mo still looked calm and relaxed. When Ruo'er saw her like this, she thought that she had taken advantage of the power of the Qingtian Lord, and her heart was even more angry. Immediately, he took out the jade plate on his body and said to the hall: "Since the adult's work will not be tested, then invite the imperial doctor in the palace to come!" She handed him a jade plaque, a symbol of Princess Huan's status. Ruo'er has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has been by Princess Huan's side for a long time, and the words she said were quite imposing!
Lord Qingtian couldn't, so he had to order someone to take the jade plate into the palace to ask for a royal doctor. He glared at the man hatefully. Who knew that he was so innocent! What's really his business?
After a while, the Imperial Physician arrived. He had already heard what had happened, and the stakes were so high that he couldn't be careless. He hurriedly examined Huanyi's body.
The crowd waited with bated breath.
Finally, after the imperial doctor had cleaned his hands, he said, "He did not die for no reason!" ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"What? It's really not, ......," one said.
The old man immediately interrupted: "What's the hurry? He didn't die for no reason, and it can't be said that the third lady killed someone! ”
The man immediately laughed and said, "Cheng Lao is right! Let's take a look at the situation below. ”
Everyone tilted their heads and looked at him with disdain, we are all waiting to see the situation behind, you are alone in a hurry!
The man laughed embarrassedly a few times, and then looked at the movement in the lobby with a serious face.
As soon as Ruo'er heard the words of the imperial doctor, she jumped up and pointed at Shen Mo and shouted, "I see how you quibble this time!" ”
Shen Mo unceremoniously fanned her hand away, without even looking at her, idiot!
Ruo'er gritted her teeth with her red fingers, and let you be proud for a while! Hum!
The face of the Qingtian Lord turned blue and white for a while, and he pointed at him and said, "How did you check it just now!" ”
Ruo'er sneered.
Who knew that the man still looked innocent. This made Lord Qingtian have to have some ideas. He knows this person, the officialdom is dark, and he always plays a little trick from time to time, but he has never seen him have this expression after the incident!
At this moment, the imperial doctor spoke: "Actually, what this servant said is not bad. ”
What! The crowd was messy.
He continued: "This man does not understand martial arts, and the deceased does not have a single wound on his body, so within the scope of his understanding, he died for no reason. ”
The guy looked aggrieved, he said that he died for no reason, and you don't believe me!
"There is not a single wound on the body, but there is poisoning?" Ruo'er hurriedly asked.
"None." The Imperial Physician replied.
"Then how did he die!" Ruo'er is angry.
Shen Mo hooked her lips, how did she die, of course she killed her! The reason why Huanyi died was because of his strong internal force, and the silver needles she shot out reversed his internal force and made him go mad. But I'm sorry, the silver needle is provided by the system Jun, it is invisible and non-toxic, and the master can see the silver needle in the air, but once it is shot into the person's body, it will disappear. It's a must-have for killing!
For Ruo'er's rudeness, the imperial doctor felt extremely disgusted. If it was Princess Huan standing in front of him today, he would not care, but she, a maidservant, dared to yell in front of him, the head of the hospital, he was extremely angry, and said more and more unhurriedly: "The muscles and veins are reversed, and the internal force is reversed." Dare to ask Miss San, did this person have luck before he died? ”
Shen Mo said to him politely: "I don't know if I have luck or not, I only know that this guard still wants to beat me before he dies." ”
"Do you feel the wind?" He asked.
Shen Mo thought, "I don't remember." ”
"I know!" Yun Mo walked out of the crowd. "Huanyi's palm had internal force when he beat Miss San, because I was too far away at that time, and I could only feel it."
When Lord Qingtian saw Yun Mo coming in, he hurriedly saluted him politely. Joke, although this Yun Gongzi has no official position, he has been taken by the lady since he was a child. Although the lady concubine is no longer there, Prince Leng treats him like a brother!
"Your Excellency is gracious." Yun Mo replied.
"Yun Gongzi, why are you going against our princess!" Ruo'er asked at Yun Mo.
Yun Mo smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" I have nothing to do with this case, just to speak fairly as a passerby! How? If Miss Ruo'er has an opinion? ”
Ruo'er was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't. She usually follows the princess, who dares to brush her face. Now his questioning is not good for her to threaten him in front of everyone, so he has to leave angrily.
At this point, the Qingtian Lord in the hall announced: Huanyi was eaten by internal forces and died unexpectedly, and it has nothing to do with the third lady!
When everyone heard it, ha~ It turned out to be self-inflicted! They all left in a hurry.
After sending off the masters, the Qingtian Lord grabbed his ears and asked viciously, "Say, what's going on?" ”
The man snorted and said, "My lord! My lord! Didn't you tell me to release the water? But there really are no scars on that man's body! ”
"When did I let you release the water!" He threw a chestnut on the door of the pretend's head, "But fortunately, this matter is not dangerous!" You almost killed you, master, I know? ”
"Ouch - the old man knows, he knows, he knows ......"
Shen Mo and Yun Mo walked out of the court together. Yun Mo looked at the sky and said, "I'll send you back!" ”
Shen Mo thanked him politely. She didn't expect Yun Mo to come out to testify to her, but with his relationship with Leng Lichen, presumably Princess Huan wouldn't embarrass him much.
At this time, the people in the streets slowly dispersed, and only the scattered lanterns hung in front of the dedicated vendors. The momentary noise suddenly faded, leaving behind the cold silence of the streets......
Shen Mo rubbed his arms, he was lively earlier, but now he suddenly felt a little cold. Yun Mo glanced at her, took off his cloak and handed it to her. Shen Mo took the cloak and smiled at him, the waves in his eyes were fascinating.
Yun Mo opened his eyes and said lightly: "You are too impulsive today, Princess Huan is not something you can kill casually." ”
Shen Mo tied her cloak in her hand, looked up and smiled, the moonlight shone on her face, she was like a poppy, beautiful and poisonous. "So what, they won't find the handle!" Her tone was so confident! The mysterious and powerful aura around her had haunted him for days and nights.
"Your hand is very beautiful today, but ......" Yun Mo approached her, her face reflected in his eyes, clear. Don't forget, Princess Huan is the emperor's favorite princess. If she dies, even if you can get away with it, in the emperor's heart, you are the murderer of her daughter! ”
Shen Mo was shocked in her heart, she was careless! She was uncomfortable with Yun Mo's ethereal eyes, and secretly took a step back, but she didn't want to step on the moss, and the whole person fell backwards uninhibited. Yun Mo moved faster than his brain, and immediately stepped forward to hug her waist. Shen Mo's eyes were happy, and the plan was successful. She threw herself into his arms. I am secretly helpless in my heart, although this kind of drama of accidentally slipping and falling to create a sense of closeness is very vulgar, but it has been tried and tested repeatedly!
Yun Mo was stunned the moment she threw herself into her arms. However, he quickly reacted and stepped away before she could fully touch him.
Shen Mo was overjoyed for only three seconds. She had almost seen the look of the system monarch hanging his head. can't help but secretly complain, how can this side quest be more difficult than her main quest?
Yun Mo stabilized his emotions for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "This place is very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I still have something to do, Miss Shen will go back by herself!" With that, he turned around and left.
Shen Mo is rubbing his chin on the spot now, well, he is embarrassed! It's not that hard! After thinking about it, he left in the opposite direction to him.
Besides, Leng Lichen, he looked at the prince opposite unhappily, and the prince looked at him unhappily, but neither side showed it. The prince was even more hospitable and refused to let him go, and said something to let him stay in the palace. Well, that's right, the brainless prince took Leng Lichen around and returned to the palace to feast him. Leng Lichen drank the wine quietly, anyway, there shouldn't be any big problem with red beans by Shen Mo's side.
And Shuli's side was also restrained by Leng Huan. In the exquisite painting boat, Shuli and Leng Huan sit opposite each other.
"Shen Mo has upset the princess again?" Shuli asked tentatively.
Leng Huan put the wine glass on the table heavily, "Don't mention her, I'm angry when I look at her!" ”
"Hehe, good!" Shuli smiled dryly, anyway, she wasn't worried about Shen Mo, she was more worried about Yun Mo who followed Shen Mo. However, he has always been calm and calm, and he should not be impulsive!
