"Yes! Yan Qiao said that the murderer of Zou's mother and son was Lin Yi. Dali Temple went to summon him, but Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen. The government officials were looking for him everywhere, and the Lin family had already followed him to Dali Temple. Hearing.”
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that Wei Laner got involved in this matter because he knew the real murderer from Yan Qiao's mouth and wanted Yongping Houfu to remember her personally?"
Chang Ning asked: "Is it good for them to have good relations with the Yongping Marquis Mansion?"
"Yongping Marquis and his father-in-law, Prince Lian, are both ministers of the emperor. The Guo family and her daughter have helped so much this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are life-savers. It is difficult to say what the benefit is, but they are everywhere. There are benefits to all.”
Ji Lan curled her lips at the side, "No wonder Mrs. Guo looked so proud when she went out, but she wouldn't bring Miss Wei San to show her face on such an occasion, would she?"
Guo has recently taken Wei Laner to various banquets frequently, which sent a signal.
She is showing Wei Laner her marriage.
Heng Wu smiled and said: "It's impossible for the Guo family to have fallen in love with Song Xiaohou of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. If this is the case, then Miss Wei San should also have this wish, so she took great pains to have people inquire about her, and she also wanted to help Yongping. Pinghou Mansion found Lu Tao, who would have thought that instead of finding Lu Tao, they found Yan Qiao!"
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible."
But what she is most concerned about now is not who Wei Laner has fallen in love with, but the old aunt from the Zhen family in Rongchang Prefecture.
"Lao Rongchang's Aunt He, what news did you find out?"
Chang Ning replied: "It has been too long. Most of the relevant people are in Zhen's house. We can't ask too much. We can only start with the fire in Dapudu Temple. In order to find out the news, Da Wu led Jiang Shun to live there. Went to the temple."
Li Qingyi couldn't help but smile, "Thank you for their hard work. I will give you a big reward when this is done."
Upon hearing this, Chang Ning immediately came over with a smile and said, "Girl, I also want a big reward for this slave."
Li Qingyi knew that she wanted the dagger in her box, so he glared at her, "No reward for no merit. You want a big reward, but why don't you do a great job for me?"
Chang Ning thought for a while and said: "Since I have nothing to do now, why don't you go to Dali Temple to see the excitement and talk to the girl later?"
Li Qingyi smiled angrily and said, "Then you go."
Dali Temple.
In addition to Lin Yi, relevant people gathered together.
Yan Qiao knelt in the middle, hunched her shoulders and recounted the situation.
When everyone heard her say that the third young master Lin Ji called "Second Brother", they all took a breath.
Mrs. Zhao immediately rushed towards her!
"You little bitch, you slandered my son! You are talking nonsense!"
Yan Qiao screamed and avoided Zhao: "My slave is telling the truth! The second young master is broken and cannot be humane. After being verbally humiliated by the third young master last time, he held a grudge. Taking advantage of the conflict between Song Xiaohou and our third young master, he took advantage of the opportunity. Kill the killer and then frame it on the young Marquis!"
If the murderer was Lin Yi, everyone would naturally think that the person who framed Song Yang was also Lin Yi.
Therefore, no one stood up to object after hearing what Yan Qiao said.
"quiet!"
Cui Chun didn't expect that one day he would have to work in the Ministry of Punishment, so he slapped the gavel hard.
Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are collectively known as the Three Law Divisions.
The Ministry of Punishment accepts criminal cases all over the country, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate conducts inspections. The Dali Temple is responsible for reviewing criminal cases. If there is any discrepancy in the crime, it will be refuted according to the law. If someone has been wrongly accused, find out the details and make sure that the punishment matches the crime and the innocent person is not wrongfully accused.
However, in order to make the matter bigger, Lin Wenye knocked on the Dengwen drum in front of the Dali Temple to redress his grievances, so the matter was directly in the hands of the Dali Temple.
The Ministry of Punishment originally secretly scolded the dogs of Dali Temple for causing rats, but when they heard that it was related to the Yongping Marquis Mansion, they immediately retreated. Seeing the people in Dali Temple, they wanted to take a detour, for fear that Cui Chun would throw this hot potato to the Ministry of Punishment!
Cui Chun wanted to throw it to the Ministry of Punishment, but they all got their hands on it. If he pushed it further, wouldn't he offend Marquis Yongping and Princess Rongling?
He had no choice but to bite the bullet!
Zhao was pulled away, and Cui Chun asked Yan Qiao: "Is what you said in your mouth just a guess?"
Yan Qiao knelt down obediently and elaborated: "The slave was pressed by the shaft of the carriage and was unconscious for a while. When she woke up, she heard footsteps approaching. The man walked around the carriage, presumably to take it away. The short arrow stabbed the horse, but the slave didn't know it at the time and wanted to ask for help. Then he heard a conversation coming from the other side... First the third young master called second brother, and then the voice of young master Lin Yi, he said, When did you ever think of me as your second brother! The servant reluctantly turned his head and looked over there, and saw Master Lin Yi lifting a big stone and hitting the third master on the head, shouting, "Go to hell..."
At that time, people from Dali Temple also discovered a fatal impact injury on Lin Ji's head, but at that time they just thought that the stone rolled down and hit him on the head, and did not expect that someone had given him a fatal blow.
At this time, Yan Qiao told the truth, and everyone's hearts tightened when they heard it, especially Lin Wenye and Zhao, both of whom had angry faces.
However, Lin Wenye was killed by Lin Yi because his son was not dead.
Zhao, on the other hand, was pretending to be angry. If she showed any signs of guilt, everyone would see clues about her.
She preemptively said, "Nonsense! My son has always been in the house and has never been out. How can he be a murderer!"
Cui Chun asked: "Can anyone prove that what you said is true?"
Mrs. Zhao bit her lip, "Since my son was injured, he hardly leaves his yard, and he doesn't let anyone wait on him. He hides in the house all day long without even speaking. On weekdays, I go to you personally. Deliver meals.”
As a man, Cui Chun could not help but feel sympathy after hearing this, but this did not become a reason to escape guilt. "So, no one can prove whether Lin Yi was in the house when the incident occurred?"
Zhao didn't answer but asked, "Can Mr. Song Xiaohou prove that he was in the mansion at that time?"
Yongpinghou's family all frowned.
The day before Lin Ji's accident, Song Yang beat Lin Ji severely, causing the emperor to call Yongping Hou and Lin Wenye to the palace to angrily reprimand him, so Yongping Hou returned to the palace and punished Song Yang to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Of course, Song Yang slept comfortably all night in the ancestral hall until three o'clock in the morning, and Zou's mother and son died in the early morning of that day.
It is precisely because of this that Song Yang cannot prove that he was not present.
Cui Chun frowned, "Don't mess around. According to your statement, wouldn't anyone who slept alone in the house that night be unable to prove his innocence?"
Ms. Zhao was left speechless.
Song Yang and Lin Yi could not prove that they were not present, but it was Lin Yi who Yan Qiao came forward to identify, not Song Yang.
Is it possible that she can still say that Yan Qiao was bribed by Yongping Hou?
Cui Chun had already said at that time that Yan Qiao was rescued by Wei Laner and had never seen anyone from Yongping Houfu before going to Dali Temple.
Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "What I said is the truth."
