"You are talking nonsense!!"
Princess Leyang stood up abruptly, with a face full of shock and anger: "You bitch, stop talking nonsense, I never recognize you, how dare you slander me!!"
She was trembling all over and was so scared that she could hardly stand still, but she knew that she could not admit anything for this crime. She looked at the blood-covered Liu Zhi, turned around suddenly, pointed at Canglang and said sternly:
"It's you. It's you who knew that I had a grudge against Song Tangning, so you wanted to help Song Tangning frame me. I have a personal grudge with Song Tangning for a long time, and also with the Qian family. This is obviously their joint effort to frame me. Gong, wants to destroy Yi'er and the eldest princess's mansion!!"
Princess Leyang's mind had never been so clear before. She looked at the people around her who were full of doubts and shock, pointed at Song Tangning and hissed:
"Everyone, who in the capital doesn't know that the Privy Council only listens to Xiao Yan's words, and that Song Tangning is protected by that eunuch. Xiao Yan thinks that she can attack the aristocratic family, let alone this palace. These black-armored guards must have followed her a long time ago. Song Tangning colluded to frame me, and this willow branch was also beaten into a trap by them."
"They are the ones who framed me. This willow branch may also be one of theirs, and they deliberately want to frame me..."
Everyone looked at Willow Branch covered in blood, with a flash of hesitation on their faces.
Tang Ning's face turned cold: "Brother is always fair in serving His Majesty, and everything he does is in accordance with His Majesty's will. However, in the mouth of the eldest princess, he turned out to be a partial person."
"Although the eldest princess knows how to quibble, have you forgotten who the butler followed out of the capital? If you go to Chun'en Tower to find out, you will find out that the butler is not the only one in your eldest princess's residence. Even if he is another Even if you cover it up, no one will see it.”
"Eldest Princess, do you dare to ask everyone around you to appear in court one by one?"
Princess Leyang felt relieved when she heard this.
Those who went to Chun'en Tower to look for people were her confidants, and they did not use her name at that time. This time they came to the mountain to have children from the eldest princess's family. These personal deeds are all in her hands, and no one dares to betray them.
Princess Leyang was determined. She felt that Song Tangning was extremely stupid. She raised her chin suddenly and said, "Why don't I dare?!"
"Okay." Tang Ning said indifferently, "Commander Cang, can those people from the eldest princess's residence be interrogated by me?"
"Tang Ning..."
Qian Qiyue hurriedly pulled her, while Rong Yue and others also looked worried.
Tang Ning was coldly angry: "I have never provoked anyone, but people have repeatedly provoked me, as if I was treated as a soft persimmon."
"If what happened tonight is not investigated, neither I nor the fourth prince and concubine will be able to escape infamy. The Rong family, Governor Xiao, and even the entire Privy Council will be humiliated and unjustly accused because of me. I am not afraid of confronting people, so please Commander Cang will hand these people over to me for trial."
Canglang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Tangning pointed at Princess Leyang: "Then please have someone stop the mouths of the eldest princess and that nanny!"
"you dare……"
Princess Leyang wanted to curse angrily when she opened her mouth, but Canglang waved his hand directly, and the black-armored guard stepped forward.
She opened her mouth and cursed angrily: "Song Tangning, you are crazy. I am the eldest princess of the dynasty. How dare you be disrespectful to me... Uh-huh..."
The black-armored guard held her arm and directly blocked her mouth, not even letting go of the nanny beside her.
Seeing this, Princess Ji slammed the table: "Song Tangning, what do you want to do?"
Tang Ning said calmly: "Nothing. Since the eldest princess feels that the black armored guards colluded with me and surrendered to the fight, I can't bear this bad reputation in vain. Otherwise, she will make excuses later, and then those people from the eldest princess's residence will be in front of everyone. interview."
"However, those who interrogate the eldest princess's house must use some means. I would like to ask the eldest princess to shut up for a moment to avoid random interference."
"You are so presumptuous, she is the eldest princess..."
"The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Besides, she is not the only one who has harmed me. Now she is even slandering the imperial officials. If what happened tonight is not her fault after the trial is concluded, I will kowtow and bow down and go to the palace in person to apologize to Princess Leyang. , if she is guilty, even His Majesty will never protect her!"
After Tang Ning finished speaking, she looked at Princess Ji: "Or does Princess Ji want to endorse the eldest princess?"
Princess Ji's face trembled. She couldn't stand the arrogance of these people, and she was happy for Song Tangning to suffer. However, Princess Leyang's behavior before was no accident.
No one can guarantee the outcome of what happened tonight. How could Princess Ji agree to guarantee Leyang? If it was really her who did it, wouldn't it mean that Prince Ji's palace would be dragged into this muddy water for nothing.
If it turns out that Leyang was really wronged in the end, it won't be too late for her to open her mouth to deal with Song Tangning...
It took only a moment for Princess Ji to make a decision in her mind. She raised her head and said in a cold voice: "I just can't stand the fact that you have offended the eldest princess. If what happened tonight is unjust, you will definitely not end well!"
"This doesn't have to worry Princess Ji anymore." Tang Ning looked at Cang Lang: "Bring in all the people from the eldest princess's residence."
There were more than thirty attendants, guards, maids, and servants who went up the mountain with the eldest princess's palace. Even the groom who stayed outside the temple to guard the carriage was also brought over. Those people stood in the palace with panic-stricken expressions, especially When they looked at the eldest princess who was being suppressed, their expressions changed.
Tang Ning asked Cang Lang to lift the dead butler up, revealing his green but pretty face, and then glanced at the people present at the princess's residence.
"Have any of you seen this person before?"
Those in the eldest princess's mansion kept silent.
Tang Ning was not in a hurry, and just raised his finger and pointed at Princess Leyang who was suppressed and gagged: "Someone just testified that Princess Leyang bribed the Chun'en Tower boy and the maid of the Qian family to frame the county master. , and among the people accompanying this trip to the eldest princess’s mansion, there is one person who is disguised by this man.”
She glanced at the willow branch.
Liu Zhi trembled subconsciously, and wanted to change her words when she saw Princess Leyang's murderous eyes.
Who knew that Tang Ning seemed to have read through her thoughts and said directly: "You just testified against the eldest princess in public, and you can't even think of changing your story now. What happened tonight is no longer a private matter between the eldest princess's house and me. If the eldest princess can resist the law, you will be ordered by others." At most, it is the fault of one person, but if she escapes, if you bite her tonight to avoid future troubles, you and your family will not escape death."
"Uh huh..."
Princess Leyang's eyes widened and she wanted to curse angrily, but she was pressed hard by the black armored guard behind her.
Tang Ning lowered his eyes and looked at the willow branch: "Be honest and explain everything you know clearly, and there is still a possibility of survival."
Liu Zhi faced Tang Ning's frosty eyes, shook his body and whispered: "Slave, I was the sweeper in the inner courtyard. More than a month ago, Manager Luo from the front yard came to see you and asked you to keep an eye on me. Keep an eye out for my girl's movements, and if she leaves the house, I will inform you of her whereabouts."
"Steward Luo gave the slave one hundred taels of silver. The slave originally thought that the girl has been banned from the wife recently, copying scriptures and has not left the house. The slave can get this silver for free, and even if it is revealed that the girl has left the house, it will be no big deal, but she did not expect that on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day …”
