Chapter 110 Turning the tables

Qian Ling: "Then I would like to ask everyone, have you seen blood or smelled blood on the princess?"

"Who would blatantly wear the clothes that killed someone!" Ma Nan decided that she was the murderer who killed his son.

Qian Ling nodded in agreement, looked at Zhou Dong and asked:
"Ma Shangshu is right. If Zhou Shoubei can't find a blood-stained red dress in the prime minister's mansion, does that mean that the suspicion of the princess has been lifted?"

Zhou Dong: "If not, it can only be said that the suspicion of the princess has been alleviated.

"Until the real murderer is brought to justice, you are still suspected, princess."

Qian Ling nodded understandingly: "Zhou Shoubei, you are really a fair and upright official.

"The imperial city is protected by an upright person like you, so we can live in peace."

Zhou Dong was expressionless: "The princess is absurd."

Qian Ling: "I have an unfeeling request, I wonder if Zhou Shoubei will agree?"

Zhou Dong: "The next official needs to listen to the princess's unfeeling request first, why?"

Qian Ling: "There are quite a few female relatives in the mansion, and it may be inconvenient for men to search some places.

"I also ask Zhou Shoubei to be flexible when sending people."

Zhou Dong nodded clearly.

The more he got in touch with, he felt that the princess didn't look like a murderer.

It's not a big deal after all, so what if it's convenient?
Negotiations here were pleasant, while Ma Nan on the other side was almost blown up with a contorted face.

"Zhou Dong! You don't want the defensive position anymore, do you?"

Regardless of where he was at this time, he said such threatening words.

Zhou Dong looked calm:

"Also Ma Shangshu please be safe and don't be impatient, the officials are currently investigating the real culprit who killed Young Master Ma.

"If Lord Shang Shu thinks that the lower officials have acted inappropriately because of this, and wants to remove them from their positions, Zhou Dong has a clear conscience."

These words put Ma Nan in a dilemma.

Seeing the soldiers and maids entering the mansion, everyone in the Qian Mansion retreated to the side.

Qian Ling also asked people to move the armchair, showing a very cooperative side.

"Zhou Shoubei, don't worry, your investigation of the truth is to enforce the law impartially. If necessary, I will report the truth in front of the emperor." Qian Chengzhi said at this time.

Zhou Dong heard the implication between these words.

Zhou Dong was also willing to accept his kindness.

Of course, the premise is that Princess Xiangrui is not the murderer.

"If there is such a time, the next official will thank the prime minister."

Half an hour later, people who entered the mansion to search came out one after another, but found nothing.

This result was within Zhou Dong's expectations.

He had already thought of it when the princess offered to be searched.

Either the murderer was not her, or she had done a perfect job in the aftermath, making sure that he couldn't find anything.

No matter what it is, he came here this time without gaining anything, and returned without success.

"Prime Minister Qian, Princess Xiangrui, it is the fault of this official that he hastily brought people to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion without any definite evidence.

"But the princess has not completely cleared the suspicion at this time, and the subordinate officials may come to the door at any time to understand the situation.

"Yes, it is better for the princess to stay in the mansion all the time recently.

"In order to avoid uncontrollable situations, the lower officials will leave some people on duty at each gate of Qianfu.

"If the people in the mansion go out, there will be people following closely, so please forgive me for the inconvenience caused.

"The lower official is also for the good of the princess. If the truth can be found out earlier, the princess will be free sooner."

In this way, it is not only surveillance, but also a kind of protection.

"Zhou Shoubei, you neither arrest nor withdraw your troops, so you are not afraid of offending both sides?" Qian Ling smiled sweetly, with a calm expression on his face.

"The Princess is joking." Zhou Dong looked calm, "At first, Ma Shangshu reported the case, and there were witnesses and the assassination dagger evidence.

"The princess was indeed the biggest suspect at the time, and I'm just in case I'm so loud just in case.

"After understanding, there may be other secrets in this case.

"I have been an official for many years, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice. So far, there have been no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases in the hands of subordinate officials, and there will be no more in the future."

Qian Ling: "Master Guard, if what you said is true, then you are indeed a good official, and the princess admires you."

"Farewell sir."

Zhou Dong didn't stay any longer, leaving some people behind, and took the others away.

And Ma Nan, who was mad with anger, threw up his sleeves and left with a cold snort.

This Zhou Dong is really an elm head!

If it wasn't for him who happened to be on duty today, and it was too late for the others, how could such a situation have happened!
And Lin Shun, who was watching the whole process, walked towards Xiaoyao Palace with this wonderful scene.

tsk tsk.
The prince is really worried, look at how powerful this princess is.

But it was also a coincidence that the person who came today turned out to be the upright Zhou Dong.

"Father, let's go in." Qian Ling looked at Prime Minister Qian and said softly.

When I heard his words of protection when I came here, a corner of my frozen heart melted.

The former nominal father used her as a family tool.

The one in front of her now, even if she can see the difference between her and the original owner, she still protects her regardless of the reason.

During this period of time, she was deliberately alienating, and she let the second brother convey many things.

Because I don't want to be like before, full of hope is followed by endless disappointment.

At this moment, she realized that she was wrong.

Not every father is like that man.

Qian Chengzhi nodded, and walked into the mansion first.

In front of no one to see, his eyes were wet.

In recent days, it's not that he hasn't noticed the changes in his daughter, and he always feels that there is a gully between them.

He wanted to get closer, but he was afraid of self-defeating, and the gully became wider and wider.

At first, I thought, maybe it was because I had been asleep for too long, and I just woke up, and I was not quite used to it yet.

When she found that she was always avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, she felt that he was deceiving himself and others from the beginning.

Just now her smile from the heart, and her father's kind voice.

Make him feel as if everything came back.

When he entered the front hall, he tidied up his emotions and returned to his gentle and elegant appearance.

"How is Ling'er?" Mrs. Wang came forward to pull him and asked.

"Mother."

Qian Ling's voice sounded from behind the two of them.

Looking at the familiar figure, Wang's tight strings were loosened, and she smiled as if releasing: "It's fine, it's fine."

"My daughter is worrying my mother." Qian Ling stepped forward.

Wang looked at her and shook her head: "This worry is nothing."

"Don't cry." Qian Chengzhi wiped the tears off her face, "Isn't it all right?"

"Yeah." Wang nodded again and again, but the tears that kept flowing couldn't be stopped.

Qian Chengzhi: "It's a happy thing that our Ling'er escaped unharmed. You go and order the dining room to make some of her favorite food. Everyone will serve lunch in the front hall today."

"Okay." Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, looked at Qian Ling again, and then walked out.
