Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 169 Children Fighting

Shen Cha carefully looked at what he had written on the paper, and scratched his hair in distress. If they really wanted to overturn the case and clear up Aunt Xue's grievances, it would really take a lot of effort.

First of all, the relationship between the old Mrs. Wu Dinghou and Prince Wanyan is indeed unclear. This point is undeniable.Although the late emperor did not have an organization like Shadow to help spy on the news, as a king, he must have his own source of news, and the news that can be heard in the sky is by no means the rumors spread by the people and the market. Well-founded.Therefore, what happened in Xijing should not be hidden from the eyes of the first emperor.The indistinct affection between the old Wu Dinghou's mansion and Prince Wanyan, and even Prince Wanyan's later confession, which ended without a problem, had already planted a seed of doubt in the heart of the late emperor.Coupled with their reunion in Jiapingguan City and Prince Wanyan's harassment and entanglement one after another, this seed of doubt may have become conclusive evidence.It's okay if nothing major happens, but once something happens, it will be a sure and irrefutable evidence of crime.

Secondly, Shen Cha is not sure whether the first emperor knew the details of the private actions of the older Mrs. Wu Dinghou's elder brothers, but he should have a general idea. They haven't threatened Daxia's safety yet, so he can open his eyes. Turn one eye, close one eye, if there is such a thing as leaking secrets, the first emperor will never allow it.It stands to reason that this has nothing to do with the old Mrs. Wudinghou, because she had already married into Wudinghou's mansion when her elder brothers' activities were most rampant.It's a pity that in order to find a scapegoat for themselves, her elder brothers used the banner of Mrs. Wu Dinghou when they misbehaved outside. All their actions were instigated by Mrs. Wu Dinghou. If the incident happened, they would be identified by the victim It is also Mrs. Wu Dinghou, who has nothing to do with other people.

Shen Cha looked through the information collected before, and there were some fragmentary charges. In fact, he could find some clues, but the combined evidence was not as important as the above two charges. It is enough to kill a person.If the first emperor had been cold-blooded and ruthless, and would have given up nostalgia for old love at all, Marquis Wuding's mansion would have been overgrown with weeds long ago, and the whole family would have gone back to the west.Fortunately, the first emperor was not that kind of person. He only dealt with the old Mrs. Wu Dinghou, and did not implicate the Hou family. Old Wu Dinghou and Xue Ruitian were still relatives of the emperor, and they still enjoyed the treatment they deserved. In the eyes of outsiders, this was already great of grace.If you are still dissatisfied, then you are ignorant.

Looking at the dozen or so sheets of paper spread out in front of her eyes, Shen Cha rubbed her forehead. She had always thought that in this old case, the ones who could really re-investigate and possibly have unexpected surprises should be those so-called witnesses back then.

She has always doubted whether the testimony provided by those witnesses and the so-called physical evidence are true and credible.After all, these things are easy to be manipulated by those who want to, as long as enough money is given, it is not impossible for someone to give false testimony.Aunt Xue's elder brothers probably wanted to prove the crime so that Aunt Xue could not find any way to turn around. Once she died, they would be completely safe.

"All the people accuse Aunt Xue in unison, and all the testimonies are almost the same..." Shen Cha sighed, and tapped the testimonies of the witnesses collected before, "The water here is quite deep Yes." She flipped through the old copy at the end, and when she saw the signature of the official in charge of investigating the case, she couldn't help but sneered, "It's no wonder that this case was handled like this, and the person who handled it was actually Dali Temple's well-known foolish Shaoqing, he doesn't have a clean case in his hands!"

While speaking, Shen Cha shook his head, wrote down his doubts on the paper, and after finishing writing, arranged all the papers on the table in order, put them into a small box, and placed them properly on the bookshelf In the dark compartment behind.

After finishing all this, Shen Cha stretched, slowly walked back to the room, lay down on the soft couch, and covered his body with the blanket that was put aside.

She fell asleep in a daze for almost an hour, when she vaguely heard what seemed to be a quarrel coming from outside.Shen Cha reluctantly opened his eyes, yawned, got up from the soft couch, and walked slowly outside.

"Brother, Brother Xiaotian, are you back?" Shen Cha sat down beside Shen Haolin in a daze, raised his eyebrows, "Is the play good?"

"Not bad." Shen Haolin poured a cup of tea and fed it to Shen Cha's mouth, "Drink slowly, don't worry."

"Don't drink anymore." After drinking some water, Shen Cha became a little more energetic. She looked at the two people who had just quarreled and asked curiously, "Brother Xiaotian, Xiaoyun, what's the matter with you, why are you arguing?"

"Sister Xiaocha!" Song Qiyun rushed over and said aggrievedly, "That bad guy, he bullied me."

"Who bullied you? You are a majestic county prince, how dare I bully you!" Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Did I apologize? Did I tell you to find another one for you? If you don’t want to do it, you’ll be begging for nothing, where can I find it for you?”

"I don't care, you lost my things, and you have to be responsible for finding them for me!" Song Qiyun said angrily, "I can't even get new ones, I don't like it, it was given to me by my queen mother." The birthday present, you lost it if you said you lost it? What do you think of the queen mother? What do you think of me? "

"Don't accuse me of such a crime, even if it comes to the empress dowager, she will just smile and won't take it seriously."

"Her old man doesn't take it seriously, I take it seriously!" Song Qiyun bared his teeth at Xue Ruitian, "Is it reasonable to lose other people's things and be so righteous? Let me tell you, don't bully me You are young, don't bully me that my skill is not as good as yours, if you make me anxious, I will turn my face and deny anyone, and I will definitely beat you hard."

"Come on, come on!" Xue Ruitian said provocatively, "I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

"Don't think I'm afraid!" Song Qiyun snorted coldly, folded his arms and turned away from looking at Xue Ruitian, with an angry look.

Looking at Xue Ruitian again, he also looked very angry, half leaning on the table and sulking, his expression was particularly bad.

"These two..." Shen Cha moved closer to Shen Haolin, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the children fighting? You say something to me, and I say something to you. Shouldn't someone say how long it will be before the next step?" Ignore the other party, no matter how anxious you are, should you break off the relationship?"

"Xiaocha/Sister Xiaocha!" Xue Ruitian and Song Qiyun said in unison, "I heard everything!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this a tacit understanding?" Shen Cha smirked, "Okay, don't get angry, the two brothers have no overnight feud, so hurry up and shake hands and make peace!"

"Who wants to shake hands with him and make peace? Unless, he brings me back what he lost!"

"What did you lose?" Seeing that Xue Ruitian was about to refute again, Shen Cha quickly waved his hands at him. Song Qiyun was angry, so he could only follow him and not add fuel to the flames. What an amazing move can really be made. "When did you lose it?"

"They lost it when they went to the theater!" Song Qiyun pointed to Xue Ruitian, "I lost a dagger my mother gave me. Although it is not very expensive and it is not inlaid with any gems, I just like it very much. The cousin said, borrow it for a few days and then return it to me, and I lent it to him because he is my cousin, but I lost it just one day later.”

"I'm not sincere either. You are so persevering, what problem can you solve?" Xue Ruitian sighed, and explained to Shen Cha, "I didn't lose it sincerely, but I actually left it in a box in the theater. I found it as soon as I left the gate of the theater garden, and went back to look for it, and it was gone."

"Yes, I can testify to this!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Xiaotian's face changed when he found out that the dagger was gone, we went back to look for it right away, but the owner of the theater said he didn't see it, and the boy who cleaned up the box didn't see it either. Said he didn't see it."

"I apologized to this kid when I came back, and coaxed him with nice words, but he didn't do it, he was so unreasonable, he insisted that I find him exactly the same." Xue Ruitian turned towards Song Qiyun He rolled his eyes, "I didn't have much patience at first, but he was lucky enough to use up all my patience. It would be strange if we didn't quarrel! In the end, when we quarreled, I woke you up, Xiaocha."

"It doesn't matter." Shen Cha nodded, took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Song Qiyun, then handed him a brush soaked in ink, "What does the dagger look like, you draw it, and I'll let Shadow look for it in the theater."

"You think you're still in the theater?"

"Of course!" Shen Cha smiled with certainty, "If my guess is right, there are nine out of ten chances that the owner of the theater and the boy who tidies up your boxes are lying."
