Seeing that she remained silent, the Queen reminded her again: "How does the Crown Princess think this matter should be handled?"
Bi Linglong cleared her throat: "I think this matter is probably misunderstood. I believe Master Zu is not the kind of impulsive person. Why don't you first listen to what Master Zu has to say?"
When she learned that Zu An had killed Prince Jin in the street, her whole head was buzzing and she couldn't understand why he would do such a thing.
Now she can only let Zu An talk about the situation and see if there is any chance to save her.
The Queen nodded: "What the Crown Princess said makes sense, Master Zu, what do you have to say on this matter?"
Bi Linglong was a little surprised. She never expected that the queen would agree with her opinion.
Seeing a room full of people looking at him, Zu An replied calmly: "What are you talking about?"
"Of course you killed King Jin's brother, why are you pretending to be ignorant?" At this time, a young man in a python robe shouted loudly.
Zu An glanced at the other person, and saw that the other person's face was a little round, and with the smooth bangs, he had a baby face that was a bit tender.
This person is Zhao Ping, the acting king. He is the son of Zhao Hao's concubine, Mrs. Li. The princess is the daughter of Meng Jing. She is beautiful and very virtuous and capable. She often makes suggestions for him. In addition, the two families have a strong alliance. The couple of gods and immortals who are envied by many people in the capital.
This time it was rumored that the Meng family was supporting him in his fight for the throne with the prince.
"I didn't kill King Jin. It's just that King Jin brought people to my house to cause trouble. His people offended me, so I just taught his people a lesson." Zu An said calmly.
The queen sitting at the top nodded secretly. This boy was not stupid. She was afraid that he would admit it and make a fuss on the spot, which would really not end well.
Bi Linglong frowned slightly, how could it be so easy to fool him about killing King Jin.
Sure enough, as soon as Zu An finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar. King Dai scolded: "This is absolutely nonsense. So many people in the place have seen you kill King Jin's brother, and they still dare to quibble here."
"Oh, someone has seen it." Zu An looked calm.
"Do you think everything will be fine if you kill Mr. Shen, the protector of King Jin's younger brother?" King Dai sneered, "Well, let's bring witnesses to the palace to make you give up."
Many people in the room exchanged glances. It seemed that the king was well prepared and had already prepared the witnesses and waited outside the palace.
Bi Linglong's brows were full of worry. It seemed that King Dai planned to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Zu An and eliminate Dong Palace's right-hand man, so that his prestige would increase.
Although she knew this, she had no choice but to do it. After all, Zu An's killing of King Jin was too big a deal, which made her fall into absolute passivity.
But no matter what, he must be saved.
She couldn't help but look at Zu An, but she saw that he had found a seat and sat down in a leisurely manner. He seemed to be the owner of this place and called the maid to bring tea and water. He sipped the tea leisurely there, as if he was not waiting for conviction. The prisoner is more like the chief interrogator.
Bi Linglong's heart moved. She and Zu An had experienced countless lives and deaths together, and she knew that he was by no means the kind of person who made random mistakes, since he probably had something to rely on.
Thinking of this, her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
At this time, several soldiers were brought in, and those with sharp eyes immediately recognized them as people from Prince Jin's Mansion.
A proud smile appeared on Dai Wang's face: "Tell me exactly what you saw that day."
The soldiers couldn't help but glance at Zu An and shuddered involuntarily. It was obvious that the scene that looked like a murderous god had left a huge psychological shadow on them.
Seeing how many people were cowering, Dai Wang was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you still standing there? Tell me!"
At this time, Meng Yi said in a deep voice: "The Queen, the Crown Princess, and many ministers are here. Everyone will make decisions for you, so don't be afraid."
His status is here, and there is an inexplicable sense of stability in his tone.
The guards felt a little at ease now and looked around, thinking.
No matter how powerful Zu An is, there are so many big guys here, how can he make trouble?
So several people started talking at once: "That day, Your Majesty took us to the Shenhou Mansion to catch the imperial prisoner..."
"Unexpectedly, there was a conflict later...Mr. Shen was killed by him..."
Although many people in the venue already knew what happened, many people were still a little surprised to hear that Mr. Shen, the protector of King Jin, was a well-known master-level expert in the capital. Even the masters of the major houses were very polite when they saw him. , was killed by Zu An so easily. What kind of strength did this guy have?
The guards continued to describe what happened next: "...I didn't expect that the prince and Marquis Shen had a disagreement, and then they had a quarrel, and then the prince was grabbed by the neck from behind and strangled directly."
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar, and Meng Yi shouted loudly: "The methods are extremely cruel!"
The king also scolded: "How dare you kill the prince like this? If you don't kill this beast, the laws of nature and the country will not be tolerated. The majesty of our royal family will be completely destroyed. How will we face our ancestors in the future!"
Bi Linglong frowned when she heard this. This acting king had always been a bit soft-tempered, but he was so tough today. He didn't know whether Meng Yi taught him these words or the shrewd acting princess.
She didn't like the Dai Wangfei. Although she was beautiful, she had a strong personality. She always protected the Dai Wangfei under her wings like a hen protecting its chicks, which always made her feel a sense of crisis.
This time, he really didn't hide his ambition, and actually had the temper to fight for position.
With King Dai and Meng Yi taking the lead, the mood in the court was aroused. Officials from the East Palace could not find a reason to speak for Zu An, and the situation fell into absolute passivity.
At this time, Bi Linglong coughed lightly and stared at Zu An with a frosty face: "You are so brave, what else can you say now!"
She thought that there must be a reason why the other party was so calm, so she deliberately cooperated to give him a chance to speak.
Sure enough, when everyone looked at Zu An, he said calmly: "Who said I tortured the prince? Did you see with your own eyes that I strangled Prince Jin to death? Did my hand ever touch his body?"
As he stared at them, the guards looked at each other and said, "Although you were not next to King Jin, you lifted him up from a distance, and then crushed his throat bone from a distance."
King Dai spoke up: "Do you still want to deny it? So many people have seen this scene. If you are still not convinced, I can find more witnesses to come in."
Zu An smiled slightly: "That's not necessary. I did lift King Jin up from the air, but I didn't kill him. It was because he was weak and sick, and too timid. He was so angry that he was frightened to death."
"Scared to death?"
Everyone was a little confused for a moment, never expecting that he would push the matter away so cleanly.
King Jin was indeed frail and sick, and everyone knew that he only had a few years to live, and indeed he could die at any time, but this time so many people were watching that it was Zu An who killed him.
Even Bi Linglong couldn't help but take another look at him. This guy was so shameless. He told lies with his eyes open and didn't even blush.
But with this reason, I finally found an angle to help him.
Then the ministers from Dai Wang and Meng Yi's side scolded Zu An for his shameless sophistry, while the people from the East Palace side spoke for him under Bi Linglong's instruction, and the two sides were quarreling for a while.
In the middle of the process, Bi Linglong suddenly pretended to think of something: "By the way, Mr. Zu, when my men were looking for you just now, I seemed to hear the people in the college calling you to offer wine?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Zu An in surprise and uncertainty. Of course they knew about the old Jijiu. How did this kid become an academy Jijiu?
Zu An raised the finger in his hand: "Back then, Jijiu insisted on passing this position to me. I couldn't shirk it, and I couldn't let Jijiu live in peace, so I reluctantly agreed."
After hearing what he said, many people in the venue cursed secretly. This guy really got an advantage and acted like a good boy. What kind of status is a sacrificial wine? I don’t know how many people want to be one but can’t, but this guy insists on pretending to be so good. Difficult.
Seeing the anger levels that kept popping up in the background, Zu An was also very helpless.
Alas, I clearly told the truth, so why didn’t anyone believe me?
After this interruption, the subsequent quarrel in the room was obviously less intense than before.
After all, Zu An is the regent of the demon clan, and now he is the sacrificial wine, so his status is really special.
Seeing that the situation was gradually turning against him, King Dai could not help but salute the Queen: "My Majesty, please say something. You have to make the decision for Brother Jin. You cannot let the murderer go unpunished just because of his special status."
Liu Ning nodded solemnly: "Yes, we must not let the murderer go unpunished, and of course we must not unjustly accuse important officials of the court. Let's do this. The case will be handed over to the embroidered messenger for investigation, and the gold medal eleven will investigate the cause of King Jin's death, and give everyone in the world a Explain."
The king was delighted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The Embroidered Clothes Messenger had a reputation for being vicious and would never give anyone face when investigating a case. Zu An was definitely dead this time.
Bi Linglong looked strange. Others didn't know the identity of Gold Medal Eleven, so she didn't know it?
Check yourself?
The Queen seems to be secretly helping Zu An, and the relationship between them seems to be closer than I thought.
