The group of people arrived at the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhong was already waiting outside the hall.
Qin Zhe was slightly stunned, why was Shen Zhong here, and where was that idiot father Shen Linqian?
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince, and paying homage to His Highness King Han."
"Uncle Shen, no courtesy."
Qin Zhe was the first to show his goodwill, but he couldn't help but feel worried. He glanced at Qin Shuihan and saw that he just nodded lightly.
Can the identification of the body still go smoothly?
Many luxurious chairs were moved into the lobby, and the government officials were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a formation.
Two adults, two princes, and a chief eunuch.
Such an unprecedented audience formation is truly rare to see in a century.
Qin Shuihan pulled Lin Yi and insisted on asking her to sit next to him.
Lin Yi rolled down Qin Shuihan's hand and smiled at him, but did not accept his kindness. She knew that she was currently a suspect, so she endured the pain and moved to the middle of the lobby. Looking at the hard stone slab, she hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and knelt down.
Zhenwan glanced at Lin Yi's blood-stained dress and immediately had the body carried into the lobby.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you to come over this case. I wonder if you know the body in front of me?"
"Lord Zhen, you are serious. I have already retired to the official position, but I am just a country man, so I am not a grown-up."
Shen Zhong smiled and glanced at the corpse involuntarily.
Is this Ding Jue's body?
In fact, Shen Zhong really couldn't tell, but after Bai Qiran came to visit, he thought for a long time and really couldn't figure out what kind of dispute his grandson was involved in.
He didn't dare to offend the Crown Prince and King Han, but why did those two people make a fuss about his grandson?
As for Lin Yi, isn’t she Lin Weifu’s concubine?
Why are there rumors that she killed Ding Jue?
Shen Zhong stood up and took a look at the corpse. It looked so miserable. Death on the battlefield was not so tragic.
He sighed in his heart, sat back and said to Zhenwan: "This corpse is not that of Ding Jue. It is his honor to sacrifice his life for the imperial court."
Qin Zhe was so angry that his teeth itched. Qin Shui gave him a cold glance. If Shen Zhong dared to speak nonsense, not only his son, but also his other grandson would be killed!
Zhenwan nodded, and the stone in her heart fell. He quickly verified Lin Yi's identity in a routine manner.
"Master Lin, do you know who the corpse next to me is?"
Lin Yi kept holding her breath while listening to Shen Zhong's answer. She was too nervous to look at Qin Shuihan's face.
Fortunately, it didn't say it was Shen Dingjue's body.
Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at Shen Zhong, who happened to be staring at him as well.
Lin Yi's big eyes were very penetrating. Lin Yi lowered his eyes and clenched his fists. He killed his grandson, but Shen Ding must die!
But the corpses looked like this. Objectively speaking, it was impossible to tell whose corpse it was without a DNA test or something.
Shen Zhong looked at Lin Yi quietly. He hadn't seen her for many years. This girl was so charming. Could it be that his grandson was lustful and was plotting against Lin Yi?
He shook his head again. After all, the relationship between the two was nominally brother and sister, and Ding would never be so ridiculous. Shen Zhong sighed and looked at the corpse again.
Is it Ding Jue's body?
Lin Yi pretended to look at the corpse, but she didn't expect Shen Dingjue's corpse to be so virtuous. Although the bonfire was bright that day, I was only thinking about revenge and didn't notice how many wounds he had on his body. It was only today that I saw how miserable he was. She stared at the corpse carefully for a while, and it seemed that some fluid was oozing out of all the exposed wounds. But the temperature was so low today, why was there such a biological reaction?
"My daughter doesn't know."
Qin Shuihan closed his eyes. He knew that the corpse was heavily guarded and had just been brought from Dali Temple, but he had already sent someone to calculate the time and sprinkle corpse powder on the surface of the corpse when it was brought up. The skin happened to be ulcerated and suppurating, and after a few hours, it would be impossible to identify the physical features.
Zhenwan glanced at Qin Zhe and continued to ask: "A servant from the Lin Mansion saw you leaving the house that day, can you admit it?"
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment. If there was a witness, how could he shirk the blame? She glanced at Qin Shuihan with the corner of her eyes, and saw him looking at her calmly. Lin Yi was immediately relieved.
"deny."
"A servant from the Lin family will testify."
Lin Yi glanced at Qin Shuihan again, still looking calm.
"In this case, you can ask this person to confront me."
Zhenwan patted the shocked tree, glanced at Qin Zhe, and then called the witness to the court.
"Who is this man from the Lin family?"
The two men immediately knelt down.
Zhao's servant said with an upright face: "The villain Zhao Daniu."
He clenched his fists and looked forward, praying in his heart that his wife and children would be safe!
Lin Yi glanced at him, as if he had bandaged this boy's arm, but she still didn't know his name. It turned out to be Zhao Daniu.
Before she could sigh with emotion at such a simple name, the boy next to her also said, "My name is Mao Daniu. He is a boy from the Lin Mansion. He usually works behind the housekeeper."
Another big guy, Lin Yi frowned, why were there so many big cows in ancient times?
"Lin, do you recognize them?"
Lin Yi nodded immediately, but she didn't seem to have any impression of Mao Da Niu.
Zhenwan asked the two of them again: "Someone said that on November 27th, you saw Mr. Lin leaving the house late at night. Is this the case?"
Zhao Daniu replied sternly: "My lord, I am responsible for doing the night watch. I have never seen the second lady go out at night."
Mao Daniu also immediately agreed.
"...The villain was on patrol at night and didn't see the lady going out."
He couldn't help but think about it in his mind. This old Zhao said so firmly, how much money did King Han give him?
Zhenwan was slightly startled. Although she knew that this person's testimony must be fishy and that he was a witness named by the prince, who would have thought that they would all temporarily switch sides. There was no need to continue the trial now. Zhenwan curled her lips in a self-deprecating tone, as the countermeasures she had worked so hard to prepare all night seemed to have lost their use.
Qin Zhe's hand holding the teacup shook and the tea splashed out.
"You really didn't see your lady go out?"
Qin Zhe couldn't help but increase his tone.
Zhao Daniu replied without changing his expression: "No."
Mao Daniu sighed in his heart. The poison given by King Han was really powerful. He always felt heavy-headed and had difficulty breathing. He glanced at the prince. If he could get the antidote tonight, he would immediately take the prince's two thousand and King Han's. Four thousand taels of silver escaped.
"The villain...the villain didn't see it either."
Qin Zhe's eyes were full of anger. He looked out of the lobby angrily. Where is Guan Sheng?
"Xiao Wang goes to the toilet!"
He wanted Guan Sheng to return home immediately and kill the mother and son!
"Third brother, did you drink too much tea?"
Qin Shuihan glanced at him coldly.
Qin Zhe was so angry that his teeth itched, but he still showed a polite smile.
"Lord Jane's tea is really good."
Jing Lan glanced at the two of them, what medicine was being sold in this gourd?
Zhenwan stared at the teacups in front of them, thinking that it was great to sit in and she was very thirsty.
Qin Zhe stood up, shook his sleeves, and strode to the toilet.
Seeing his angry figure, Qin Shuihan put down his teacup and looked outside the hall, quietly searching for Zhu Tianhua's figure. A man wearing a turban and a beard glanced at him.
Qin Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He glanced at Zhao Daniu who was kneeling on the ground and promised to keep his wife and children safe, and he must do it.
The atmosphere in the hall is weird.
Everyone is a good person, calm and peaceful.
Qin Zhe returned to his seat, his expression slightly brightened.
When he went out just now, he found Guan Sheng. He immediately ordered Guan Sheng to return home immediately and kill this young man's wife and children!
Let them die together with the little maids in their mother's harem!
No, die immediately!
Zhenwan had already guessed a little bit, and it seemed that the wise man was as good as the devil. In short, the witness appointed by the prince was invalid.
"In this case, there is no need to retry this case, and Lin is acquitted."
"no!"
"No!"
Qin Zhe and Lin Yi shouted at the same time.
Jinglan and Zhenwan were both slightly startled.
Shen Zhong's mood was not that high. Seeing that there seemed to be a pool of liquid where the body had just been placed, he felt bad and wanted to go back to the house.
But what happened in this scene?
Shen Zhong rolled his eyes the size of soybeans, thinking about the relationship between the prince and Lin Yi.
Qin Shuihan frowned, suddenly realizing that Chen Sheng had no presence beside him, he frowned and tightened his lips.
This beast hasn't been dealt with yet!
"Your Highness, what else can I do?"
After all, he was the prince, so Zhenwan asked him first in a deep voice.
Qin Zhe glared at Lin Yiyouyou and said, "In front of the emperor that day, Miss Lin personally admitted that she had killed someone. No matter whose body it was, the murder must be explained to the world."
This is the only thing he can grasp.
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, why is this still happening?
"Third brother, I also said that day that I did all this. Third brother can come after me. Lin Yi just wanted to protect me and deliberately said it was her fault."
Qin Shui looked at Qin Zhe coldly and copied Lin Yi's words in front of his father.
Lin Yi felt hot, why did Qin Shuihan learn to speak on his own?
There was silence.
"Lord Zhen, why don't you listen to what Miss Lin Er has to say?" Jing Lan broke the silence in the hall.
"Ms. Lin, do you have any objections?"
"Lord Zhen, the document sent by Lord Chen just now is suspected of slandering King Han. Please take a closer look at it, Lord Zhen."
She looked at Qin Zhe coldly. Since the document said that Qin Shuihan killed Shen Dingjue, it was most likely done by this bastard. Fortunately, Qin Shuihan was able to get to the dungeon before she was killed.
If he died, wouldn't he lose an opportunity to attack Qin Zhe?
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned sideways and gasped.
The ass is useless!
Dead woman! Qin Zhe held the teacup in his hand tightly and really wanted to throw it at Lin Yi.
Zhenwan looked at the confiscated documents and laughed secretly in her heart. It turned out that Miss Lin Er was eager to vindicate King Han. However, this is just an opportunity to deal with this Chen Sheng, who is living in a haze every day, taking his salary and not doing anything practical, not to mention he doesn't want to think about who he is beating!
"Master Chen, this article states that King Han ordered Lin to kill Shen Dingjue. Do you have any evidence?"
Chen Sheng never knew where his soul was, and everything that happened in the hall seemed to have nothing to do with him.
The only thought in his mind was that he was finished.
"Master Chen?"
Everyone looked at him. This man had his head drooped and his eyes were blank, like a dead thing.
Chen Sheng seemed to feel everyone's gaze. He immediately knelt down and looked at Qin Zhe tremblingly. He really had no brains and was only thinking about getting Lin Yi to plead guilty, without carefully considering the content of the article.
But this is the queen's order, how can I say it!
"Master Chen, do you know what it is to wrongly accuse the prince?"
Qin Zhemin took a sip from the tea cup in his hand and found that not a drop of tea was left in the cup, which had been scattered to the ground by himself.
"Master Chen, do you know what it is to accuse this king unjustly?"
Qin Shuihan stared at Chen Sheng with gloomy eyes. In his eyes, he was already a dead man.
Chen Sheng cried sadly. He didn't expect that Lin Yi was just a chess piece used by one prince to deal with another prince. Unfortunately, why was he not a chess piece? Not only did he get promoted, but he didn't expect that he would be involved in it, and he regretted it.
"Weichen...Weichen takes the blame."
Zhenwan frowned. Sure enough, the punishment department was completely embarrassed by him. He accepted the crime even before he was convicted. He glanced at the little censor who was taking notes and saw that he was holding a brush and didn't know how to write.
Qin Zhe glanced at Qin Shuihan and snorted with satisfaction.
Lin Yi greeted Qin Zhe several times in her mind, and then rolled her eyes at Chen Sheng. She didn't believe that the fool with impatient intelligence in front of her could write such a rigorous document.
"Master Zhen, it's hard to say whether this document was written by Master Chen. Please handle the case impartially, Master Zhen. Since Master Chen is also a member of the Ministry of Punishment, you can know the authenticity by comparing it with your daily handwriting."
"you you!"
Chen Sheng suddenly lost his breath and fell to the ground with a plop.
Qin Zhe stared at Lin Yi coldly.
Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!
Fortunately, he saved a hand, and the handwriting came from the little palace maid who saluted him with a smile on her face. The queen mother thought she had fallen in love with her, how could that be possible!
She's just a stupid woman who can only giggle.
Qin Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he asked her to write the note before torturing her.
There was another moment of silence, and everyone began to speculate on whose hand the handwriting was.
Lin Yi gritted her teeth and quickly crawled to Chen Sheng's side like a pug, and suddenly pinched his man.
You have to wake up even if you don’t want to!
I saw Chen Sheng whimpering and gradually woke up.
"Lord Jane, please continue the trial."
Lin Yi moved her position again. At this time, her butt hurt so much that she almost fainted.
Everyone had different expressions. Miss Lin Er was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Qin Shuihan stared at her restlessly, her face getting paler and paler, and he was really afraid that she would faint in the next second.
"Master Chen. Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhenwan patted Jingmu again.
Jinglan could naturally see clearly that Chen Sheng must have been ordered by the prince's faction. Even if Lord Zhen had Qin Shuihan's support, it was not appropriate to delve into the matter at this time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Han, Lord Zhen, you think of this Lord Chen, why don't we let our family take him to the prison, explain the situation to the Holy One and wait for him to be punished? What do you think?"
Jinglan came out to smooth things over, and Qin Shuihan didn't say anything. At this time, he was just worried about Lin Yi and wanted to take her away quickly.
"This will trouble the chief inspector."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shuihan had already stepped beside Lin Yi, picked her up and walked out.
