The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 355

Under the eyes of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Regent Chen Zhan looked straight at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment: "Shangshu Sun said that he found evidence of General Qi's murder?"

"Yes."

Sun Shangshu took out the evidence he had prepared and handed it to the servant next to him.

"The reason why General Qi was able to enter the Ye Mansion to kill people is because there is an internal response in the Ye Mansion, and this person is Tian Liu.

"Because he was kicked out of Ye Mansion, he held a grudge, arranged for his daughter to open the side door of Ye Mansion for General Qi, and let General Qi go in to kill people.

"Now, Tian Liu, his daughter and other persons involved in the case have been arrested and locked up in the prison of the Criminal Ministry. These are their confessions, and one of them is a blood book written by Tian Liu.

"and also."

Sun Shangshu paused for a moment, then continued: "There is also a suicide note from General Qi, in which he confessed to killing Ye Shilang."

As soon as this remark came out, the hall was instantly quiet, and Chen Zhan's hands flicking through the evidence stopped.

Wang Wenqian's originally calm expression froze instantly.

Qi Nianguang died, but he didn't leave a suicide note at all. Where did this suicide note come from?

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shot straight at Sun Shangshu, but Sun Shangshu looked down at the floor tiles as if he didn't notice.

Chen Zhan quickly looked through the evidence, found Qi Nianguang's suicide note, and looked at it carefully.

There was another commotion in the hall.

"General Qi died? Did he leave a suicide note?"

"So, did General Qi commit suicide?"

"It must be suicide. Otherwise, why would you leave a suicide note in advance? I think General Qi must have thought that His Majesty valued this case and knew that he could not escape the guilt, so he simply committed suicide."

Listening to the discussions of the ministers below, the emperor was thoughtful.

"His Majesty--"

The servant called out to the emperor, and handed over the evidence that the regent had read.

The emperor paused, then took the evidence to look.

Chen Zhan has already started to ask: "Where is General Qi's body?"

"In the Ministry of Punishment." Sun Shangshu replied.

"How did he die?"

Hearing this question, Sun Shangshu glanced to the left, and then replied: "Last night, a group of men in black broke into General Qi's mansion.

"They were extremely cruel and killed everyone in the Qi family.

"At that time, General Qi was about to commit suicide, when he heard that there was an assassin entering the mansion, he rushed to save them, but he didn't expect that he was also killed.

"People in the patrol battalion heard the movement and rushed to the Qi mansion to save people, but they were one step too late. General Qi passed away after a few hasty confessions."

All the ministers were fascinated by what they heard, but the emperor jumped up against the case: "How unreasonable is this, at the feet of the emperor, someone actually assassinated an important official of the court?

"Who are these people? Have you caught them?"

Sun Shangshu knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me, those assassins are powerful in martial arts and came prepared, we did not catch them.

"However, General Cui of the Patrol Battalion has fought them and recognized them as..."

Seeing Sun Shangshu looking over, Wang Wengan's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought it was bad.

Sure enough, Sun Shangshu said word by word: "People from the palace."

The people in the hall all looked at Wang Wenqian with surprise on their faces.

The emperor didn't believe it, and asked, "General Cui saw the faces of those assassins?"

"No, but those assassins accidentally dropped the token, which is the token of the palace."

Sun Shangshu continued calmly: "Your Majesty, General Cui is outside the hall, you can call him in for questioning."

The emperor glanced at Wang Wengan, who had remained silent all this time, and ordered: "General Xuan Cui."

The servant passed on his order, and soon, Cui Minxing walked in.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to the Regent."

The emperor glanced at Chen Zhan, saw him nodding slightly, and turned to Cui Minxing: "Tell the truth about what you saw last night."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cui Minxing took the order, and said slowly: "Last night, I led people to patrol the city. When I passed the Qi Mansion, I heard screams inside, so I went in to check. I happened to see a group of assassins massacring people in the Qi Mansion, so I went in to rescue them." .

"The opponent had many people and high martial arts skills, so we didn't have time to rescue them, so we had to deal with them, but they ran away after killing people.

"However, during the fight, some of them dropped a token, which was the token of the palace. Later, I carefully recalled the fighting situation and found that the martial arts of these assassins were very similar to those of the palace."

After speaking, Cui Minxing presented the token with both hands.

The servant hurried over, took the token, first showed it to the regent, and then showed it to the emperor.

When the token was obtained, the emperor's face suddenly changed, it was really the token of the palace.

He looked down: "Wang Shangshu, what can you say?"

Wang Wenqian stepped out of the queue and said calmly: "Your Majesty, who would carry a token to identify himself when killing someone? This is clearly a frame-up.

"The people in my palace were all in the palace last night and never left. If His Majesty doesn't believe you, you can send someone to investigate."

Seeing Wang Wengan's frank face, many people stood up to speak for him.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shangshu has no grievances with General Qi, how could he send someone to kill General Qi? This must be a false accusation."

"Yes, Your Majesty, just a token cannot prove that the assassin is from the palace. Maybe the assassin stole the token from the palace and used it to blame Wang Shangshu."

"Your Majesty, these people killed General Qi and tried to blame Wang Shangshu in vain. Their intentions are to be punished. Please investigate this case strictly and return Wang Shangshu's innocence."

At this time, Taiwei Gao Cong sneered: "I heard that Wang Shangshu and the dead Ye Shilang were very close and often played chess together.

"How do you know that Wang Shangshu didn't know that Qi Nianguang killed Ye Shilang in advance, so he killed Qi Nianguang to avenge Ye Shilang?"

Those ministers who said that Wang Wengan and Qi Nianguang had no grievances or enmities froze, and were speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, it was still the dispute between the Cui family and the Wang family.
The corner of Wang Wengan's mouth flashed a hint of self-mockery, but he was still careless.

Unexpectedly, he handed over evidence such as Tian Liu and the blood book to Guo Yihui, thinking that he could find justice for Ye Zhicheng, but he did not expect that the Cui family would join him in the army and frame him for killing Qi Nianguang.

How shameless.

As soon as Gao Cong's words came out, some officials echoed and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, in this way, Wang Shangshu is the most suspected. Please also issue an order to imprison Wang Shangshu in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and strictly examine this case."

Then, more and more officials asked the emperor to imprison Wang Wengan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the officials of the Wang family hurriedly stood up and argued hard. All of a sudden, the court was full of quarrels.

Cui Yongzong stood upright, seemed to be deaf to all this, with a very indifferent expression.

Standing above, Chen Zhan glanced lightly at the officials below, and then coughed lightly: "Ahem——"

Although his cough was not loud, the officials standing at the front heard it, and they quickly signaled the people behind to be silent.

Slowly, the palace returned to calm.

The emperor looked at Chen Zhan asking for help: "I don't know what the regent thinks about this case?"

Chen Zhan: "If Your Majesty trusts the minister, I will hand over the case to the minister for investigation."

"it is good."

The emperor seemed to be waiting for this sentence, his expression relaxed a lot, and he immediately announced the decree: "I will pass on my decree, the murder of Ye Shilang and General Qi will be handled by the regent king from today on."
