The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 387 Dormant
After spending a lot of effort and almost revealing her identity, Mrs. Wen thought to herself that it would be worthwhile to ask some secrets.

However, Cui Hengyue just asked questions, scratched a little skin, and didn't ask anything, and Mrs. Wen felt very unwilling.

"Are you really going to let him go tomorrow morning?"

Seeing Cui Hengyue nodding, Lady Wen stood up awkwardly: "Then I'll interrogate again."

Such a good opportunity cannot be wasted.

"Wait, listen to me."

Cui Hengyue hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Wen, pushed her on the chair and sat down: "Don't be impatient, you saw it just now, you won't find anything if you ask now.

"Don't worry, I have a way to make him spit out all his secrets."

Lady Wen raised her eyebrows in disbelief: "Although you guessed that Liu Yang has a weakness, you don't even know what his weakness is? How did you get him to reveal his secret?"

Seeing that she didn't believe in herself, Cui Hengyue sat down beside her, and said patiently: "Liu Yang's abilities are naturally extraordinary for Cui Quan to trust her for so many years.

"Although what he said just now was impeccable and didn't reveal anything, I guess his weakness is people."

people?
Mrs. Wen didn't know why Cui Hengyue guessed like this, she reminded Cui Hengyue: "You also said just now, Liu Yang is alone, how could he have a weakness?"

"."

Cui Hengyue's expression froze.

After a few breaths of silence, Cui Hengyue said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find his weakness and let him spit out Cui Quan's secret.

"If you can't find it, I'll catch him myself and send it to you."

Having said that, Mrs. Wen couldn't say anything, so she had to agree.

The next day.

On the carriage entering the palace, Chen Linyu looked at Chen Zhan who was leisurely drinking tea, and asked in puzzlement: "Father, this man is clearly a scapegoat, why don't you let me continue the investigation?"

Chen Zhan didn't look at him. He didn't put down the teacup until he finished drinking the tea in the cup, and said slowly, "This is a struggle between the Cui family and the Wang family. It is impossible for Wang Wenqian to watch his son die.

"Besides, the murderer is not from the Wang family."

Chen Linyu pondered for a while, and said pleasantly, "Father, do you know who the real culprit is?"

"Cui Quan sent someone to kill him."

Chen Zhan said it calmly, but Chen Linyu's heart was greatly shaken.

After a moment of silence, Chen Linyu cautiously probed: "If that's the case, why doesn't my father let me investigate? Don't you also want to weaken Cui's power in the court?"

Weakening the family and consolidating the imperial power, isn't this what my father has been doing?

Chen Linyu didn't quite understand.

Seeing his son's puzzled face, Chen Zhan explained: "Cui Quan is an old fox, he would never make such a mistake before, this time it might be an accident.

"There is not enough evidence. Even if you are asked to investigate further, you will not be able to find Cui Quan's evidence. Instead, you will startle the snake. Why don't you just let it go and let Cui and Wang fight.

"When two tigers fight, there is bound to be a wound. What's more, we can only find out their faults when they get into chaos."

Chen Zhan poured two cups of tea and handed one cup to the eldest son: "Remember, if you can't kill yourself with one move, you have to continue to lie dormant."

Chen Linyu held the teacup tightly, felt the temperature in his palm, and his expression became firm: "I understand."

Temporary victory or loss is not important, what is important is the final victory.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and the imperial guards immediately let it go when they saw that it was the regent's carriage.

At the beginning of the early court, before the emperor could speak, Chen Linyu came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have caught the murderer who killed General Qi."

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding officials looked at Chen Linyu in unison.

Unexpectedly, Prince Rui's son was so capable at such a young age, he solved the case in just a few days and caught the real culprit. He is indeed the son of the Regent.
The officials looked at Chen Linyu with admiration, admiration, and covetous eyes. They wished that this was their son.

Appreciation appeared in the emperor's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is the murderer?"

Chen Linyu answered unhurriedly: "It's General Qi's confidant guard—Qiu Shan."

As soon as the voice fell, the officials behind whispered:
"How could it be him? I heard that this person was rescued by General Qi from the battlefield. General Qi is the most loyal. It is impossible for him to kill General Qi."

"Yes, I heard that this person has been with General Qi for ten years. General Qi trusts him very much. If this person has ulterior motives, he can kill General Qi at any time. Why is he killing General Qi now?"

"Yeah, I think it's suspicious"

Listening to the discussion behind, Chen Linyu raised his voice and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, at first I didn't believe it, but after I made an in-depth investigation, I found that Qiu Shan had an unknown relationship with Ye Zhicheng, the servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Quiet around.

Chen Linyu's voice continued: "Qiu Shan was originally from Youzhou. Ten years ago, during the border war, Qiu Shan's village was destroyed and his family was destroyed. He was the only one who escaped because he joined the army.

"But he almost died on the battlefield. Fortunately, General Qi rescued him. From then on, he followed General Qi.

"At the beginning of the year, he found out that his elder sister was not dead, but had been reduced to a brothel. After General Qi found out, he redeemed his elder sister's body and brought her into the backyard.

"Not long ago, General Qi found out that Qiu Shan's elder sister was having an affair with Ye Shilang, and in a fit of rage, he killed Ye Shilang.

"Qiu Shan interceded for Sister, General Qi softened his heart and spared Qiu Shan's Sister.

"But I don't know why, the next day, General Qi poisoned Qiu Shan's elder sister, so Qiu Shan hired murderers to destroy Qi's mansion to vent his hatred."

The officials were fascinated by what they heard, and there was no reaction for a while.

"I didn't expect the truth to be like this."

The emperor sighed with emotion and ordered: "Submit the evidence."

Chen Linyu then presented the evidence.

At this time, the Regent suddenly said: "Qiu Shan is originally Qi Nianguang's confidant, and with his status in the Qi Mansion, the people in the Qi Mansion must believe his words very much, and it is inevitable that they will be fooled.

"It's just that there are more than a hundred people in the Qi family, and Qiu Shan can't kill them all alone. I don't know where the killer he hired is at this time?"

Chen Linyu respectfully said: "Reporting to the Regent, on the night that the Qi Mansion was destroyed, except for the killers hired by Qiu Shan who died on the spot, all the rest were also killed when they were hunted down by the patrol battalion.

"The chief culprit, Qiu Shan, killed General Qi, and he himself was seriously injured. He passed away yesterday."

The murderer is dead, the hired killer is also dead, and everyone in the Qi family is dead. This is a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Many officials sighed, but there were also officials who were suspicious, but because it was Prince Rui's son who was investigating the case, they dared not speak out.

After reading the evidence, the emperor asked, "Shizi Chen, I heard that you have imprisoned the eldest son of the Minister of War in Dali Temple. How is he involved in this case?"

Chen Linyu showed shame: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the night General Qi was killed, Wang Dalang went out of the mansion to relax, because it was too coincidental, I asked Wang Dalang to go to Dali Temple to assist in the investigation.

"Fortunately, now that the truth has come to light, it has been found out that what Wang Dalang said is true and he is innocent. I have ordered someone to send Wang Dalang back to the residence."

I'm back home.
Wang Wenqian lowered his eyes, feeling a little relieved.

The emperor looked at Chen Zhan: "Prince Regent, what do you think about this case?"

Chen Zhan said respectfully: "Your Majesty is intelligent and makes decisions in his heart."

Is this for him to make a decision?
The emperor pondered for a moment, then declared loudly: "Since the truth of this case has been clarified, let's close it."
