After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 14 What is the truth

Wei Xingzhi raised his head, "Your Majesty, I can prove my innocence." She turned to look at Yu Si, "When did I order you to kill Cheng Qianqian?"

Yu Si dodged his eyes, not daring to look at Wei Xingzhi, "Yes... it was the night when you were punished to kneel, the villain went to see you in the ancestral hall, and you told the villain."

"Then when did you enter the mansion?" Wei Xingzhi asked.

"After noon yesterday."

Wei Xingzhi snorted, and the corners of his eyes rolled into sarcasm, "Let me ask you again, how did you kill Miss Cheng?"

Yu Si swallowed his saliva, "I pretended to be a servant, sneaked into Cheng's mansion, and hid in Cheng Qianqian's yard while Cheng Qianqian was out looking for you. When she was sleeping soundly in the evening... I cut her open with a knife. neck."

Hearing these words, Chen's face became more and more painful, and she buried her head in Cheng Wansu's arms. She didn't dare to look at the tragic death of Cheng Qianqian. That was her own daughter, and now she was killed by this beast. How not to hate.

Wei Xingzhi chuckled, "When I was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, did I send someone to deliver a letter to you? Who is this person, but the people from the Wei Mansion, or my friends? Miss Cheng went out before noon, but you entered after noon. Lily claiming that she left the mansion and sneaked into her house, then let me ask you again, did Miss Cheng go out after lunch when she returned to the mansion after seeing me?"

Yu Si's face turned pale, and he explained in a panic, "I must have misremembered, I forgot..."

Wei Xingzhi interrupted him, looking at Cheng Wansu, "Miss Cheng should know Lingmei's whereabouts very well."

"Yes." Cheng Wansu lowered her eyes, with crystal tears on her long eyelashes, she said softly, "Yesterday, my little sister went out to the mansion before noon, and since she came back, she hasn't been out again."

Mrs. Chen's hand holding Cheng Wansu's sleeve tensed instantly, "You mean, someone else killed my daughter? No, no, my family Qianqian is innocent and lively, and she never fights against others, how could she offend her?" Others, only you...Only you have a reason to harm her!"

Wei Xingzhi ignored her directly.

"Yu Si, tell me carefully, who sent you the letter?"

"It's...it's Major General's best friend Zhou Han..."

Wei Xingzhi almost laughed out loud in court, saying who is bad, Zhou Han? "Your Majesty, in the spring of the 23rd year of Nanxiao, Xishu invaded Danyang. I was young at the time and didn't know the danger of the battlefield, so I fell into the enemy's trap. In times of crisis, it was my friend and Wang Zhiyang, the son of my grandfather's Wang family, who rescued my minister. Life, but he was seriously injured and died."

"I feel ashamed in my heart. When I came to the capital, I asked Zhou Han and Ma Huai to return to Danyang to pick up Wang Zhiyang who came to Beijing for treatment as soon as they stabilized. On the night when I was punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall, Zhou Han was still on the way back. If your Majesty If you don't believe me, you can confront everyone in the Wei family."

Speaking of Wang Zhiyang, Wei Xingzhi felt ashamed, but the original owner had other thoughts. Although the original owner was a dandy riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, he was only a 15-year-old girl at the time.

Wang Zhiyang rode a horse and leaped over the city gate, and rescued her life from hundreds of Western Shu troops. It must be a lie to say that he was not moved.

It's a pity that the original owner died, and the surviving Wei Xingzhi is no longer the former Wei Xingzhi.

Thinking of this, Wei Xingzhi felt a little dull, and even his expression darkened.

In the eyes of Wan Qiqian, it has another meaning.Could it be that she fell in love with that Wang Zhiyang?

Yu Si's lie was exposed by Wei Xingzhi, his expression finally became unsteady, he clutched his sleeve, "I remember wrong..."

"That's enough." Wan Chengqian interrupted coldly, and he leaned back wearily, "I don't want to listen to words that don't make sense."

Yu Si was coldly shouted, and his forehead was sweating coldly in fright.

Wei Xingzhi said, "Your Majesty, Yu Si once had a feud with his ministers. How could he know that someone with a heart used Yu Si to kill Cheng Qianqian, frame his ministers, make Taifu Cheng lose his beloved daughter, force his ministers to die unjustly, and severely injure important officials in the court?" , intending to harm His Majesty!"

This range is too large, if it is just killing Cheng Qianqian, it can be regarded as a personal grievance, but if it severely injures important officials in the court, it is no different from the previous Prime Minister Jia!
Wei Xingzhi glanced indifferently at the officials in the court, "Your Majesty, I also want justice. Just now, Mr. Gao said that the minister kidnapped Qingyuan and returned to the mansion... The minister also wants to know that the minister kidnapped Yu Chongguang's son Yu Changyuan." , no, it should be Yu Chang Yuan, shouldn't it be an exaggeration?"

Yu Changyuan is not a fool either, after listening to it in the hall for so long, he has long realized that he was used as a gun, and the person who used the gun is probably related to his father.

When he went to the Chuyao Tower, it was someone from the mansion who sent the letter to him in the name of someone else, but without his father's instruction, how could he let the letter fall into the hands of his adopted son with his thorough and impenetrable temperament? ?
Yes, Mrs. Yu is kind to him, but Mrs. Yu...

Yu Changyuan lowered his head, staring at the floor without saying a word.

Wei Xingzhi glanced at the jade pendant held by Yusi, and parted his thin lips, "As for the jade pendant..."

A young eunuch walked in outside and interrupted Wei Xingzhi, "Your Majesty, Old General Wei is begging to see His Majesty outside."

Wei Xingzhi's face was the same, as if he knew it clearly.

"Summon." Wan Tuqian gave the order directly regardless of the different expressions of the officials.

Old General Wei was dressed in a red court uniform, with a stern face, walking in the front angrily, followed by Wang Zhiyang, Zhou Han and a maid.

Wan Chengqian's eyes passed over the old general Wei, and he unconsciously looked at the slow-moving young man with a gentle face. He should be about the same age as Wei Xingzhi, and his figure looked extremely weak. He was indeed seriously injured and died as Wei Xingzhi said.

For no reason, I felt a little depressed in my heart.

"The old minister bows to His Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Although Old General Wei was a military commander and didn't know the rules, he remembered the most basic courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

After meeting Wan Chengqian, he looked at Wei Xingzhi, who had red eye circles, and his weathered face suddenly burst into anger. In his whole life, except when his son died and Wang Zhiyang was seriously injured, he saw his granddaughter's red eyes. This girl is a tough one.

Here today, someone actually bullied this tough bone into tears?
"This old man has spent his whole life on the battlefield, defending his family and country, but Lin Lao can't keep my granddaughter from being bullied?"

Old General Wei glared at Cheng Taifu, "Teacher Cheng, it's not that I'm talking about you. My granddaughter is only nineteen this year. Even if she acts perversely, you can't be so biased. Just insist that she is the one who killed your daughter!"

Taifu Cheng lowered his head in pain, not looking up at Old General Wei at all.It was Mrs. Chen who roared resentfully, "If Wei Xingzhi died today, what should you do!"

Old General Wei paused, "If it was Wei Xingzhi who died, the old man vowed to find out the murderer and cut him with a knife. The children of my Wei family can only die on the battlefield openly and aboveboard, and must not die under this conspiracy theory." middle!"
