Chapter 22
"It is only when you understand the principle of righteousness and killing relatives that you understand that blood is thicker than water. Your Highness will marry me, that is, the person who will live and die with me. My parents will go before me, but my husband will accompany me to grow old together." Xiao Ning easily resolved Duke Li's threat.

"Someone saw the face of His Highness the Fourth Highness yesterday!" Duke Li lost his patience, and his eyes became more and more aggressive.

"May I ask Lord Li, when was the concubine assassinated yesterday?" Xiao Ning saw that he was sullen, and knew that he should not provoke him any more.

"Yesterday at Haishi!" Duke Li whispered in a low voice.

Xiao Ning recalled yesterday, when she rescued Si Ruiyan, it was almost three o'clock.If he really assassinated the concubine at Haishi, he would have had dozens of knives in his body for such a long time, and the blood would have drained.

"If that's the case, Duke Li may have made the trip in vain." Xiao Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, she was also afraid that Si Ruiyan would be the murderer who assassinated the concubine, and she just angered Duke Li in every possible way to find out the details from him.

With these words, all her doubts and worries were relieved.

"Miss, what do you mean?" Duke Li squinted his eyes, "Could it be that you have a way to prove His Royal Highness's innocence?"

Xiao Ning's eyes were focused, and his face suddenly changed.

"Of course there is!"

She ordered Lao Song to invite the doctor who saw Si Ruiyan last night, and then asked him to fetch one of the Song family's Baoxin Pills. Jian, is currently resting in a secluded house. If Duke Li wants to see someone, please come with me." Xiao Ning knew that Si Ruiyan was innocent, so there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing that she was willing to take him to meet people, Grand Duke Li suppressed the anger in his heart temporarily.

In Song's house, Si Ruiyan was sitting behind the bed curtain, and Lao Song had rushed back to inform him of what happened in the restaurant.

"The doctor prescribed Mafeisan to my husband, and the medicine is effective for six hours. My husband is still unable to move his body. As long as he waits for half an hour, the effect of the medicine will pass." Xiao Ning asked Lao Song to find the medicine Well, the Song family has a lot of medicines.

"As long as the Duke finds someone to test the medicine, and then checks the time when the husband recovers, he will naturally know when he took the medicine."

Duke Li took the porcelain bottle and played with it in his hands, with a suspicious expression on his face.

He knew that according to the calculation of time, it was absolutely impossible for Si Ruiyan to bleed for such a long time without dying.But he still looked suspiciously behind the curtain, stepped forward and said, "I want to examine the injury myself."

Xiao Ning turned around and stopped him.

She raised her eyes and shot a gleam like a cold knife: "There is no need for an injury test, the doctor in Huichun Hall can testify."

An old doctor with white hair walked in from the door and bowed to the two of them.

"Rejuvenation Hall is a non-stop medical center for twelve hours. After the third watch last night, someone must have seen the old hall master come to this house. If the husband was injured when he assassinated the concubine, let alone the old hall master can't save him, it is the empress. It doesn't work if Laojun comes." Xiao Ning sneered.

There is never a shortage of people in front of the medical hall, and the old hall master recognizes every patient, as long as he leaves the medical hall, someone will know.As long as no one in the city asked the old hall master for a consultation after the third watch last night, then the place where he came is the Song residence.

A personal certificate and a medical certificate are enough to prove Si Ruiyan's innocence.

"In the middle of the night, there will always be times when people are blind. There are so many people in the city, how can I go door-to-door to check if anyone has been seen by the old hall master." Li Juegong put Baoxin Pills in his hand. The porcelain bottle was thrown on the table casually.

He looked back at Xiao Ning coldly, and smiled sinisterly: "It's just a wound test. His Highness is a man and he won't be taken advantage of. Why does the girl stop him repeatedly?"

Not letting the injury test is a ghost, only the injury test can know when the wound was caused, and this is the most favorable evidence.

Xiao Ning's conclusive evidence is enough, but Duke Li is obviously trying to find fault with the egg.

She sneered in her heart, this old fox is really hard to deal with.

The dignified Minister of the Kingdom of Wei would never be so stupid as to be unable to rule out his suspicions in front of someone with a medical certificate. Xiao Ning knew that he clearly didn't want to let it go.

One reason is to arrest someone and go back to work. If the suspect is a hostage of the enemy country, it will be easier to pour dirty water on him and convict him.Secondly, there must be an intention to vent her anger for her son, because the husband who took revenge on her wanted to embarrass her.

"Duke Li can do an injury test, but you haven't studied medical skills, so how can you get the results?" Xiao Ning didn't believe that he, a son from a noble family, would study medical skills and study wounds.

Duke Li glanced at the old doctor of the Hall of Rejuvenation standing at the door: "Then let the old hall master check it out. It is related to the assassination of the concubine. I believe the old hall master will not deliberately favor the murderer."

The old hall master was originally called to testify, so he was a little scared to be involved in this incident for no reason.

Si Ruiyan coughed dryly inside the bed curtain.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ning stepped forward to lift the curtain and asked in a low voice.

Si Ruiyan was still unable to speak due to the poisoning, but the effect of Baoxin Pill was almost over. He took Xiao Ning's hand and wrote on it stroke by stroke.

Xiao Ning's eyes brightened, and he raised his head to meet his deep and steady eyes.

"Okay, I see, with this evidence, Duke Li will be silenced!"

She lifted the curtain and came out, just in time to face the old hall master who was waiting for the injury test outside.

"Li Juegong, my husband can prove his innocence, so there is no need to bother the old hall master for an examination."

Li Juegong squinted his eyes, and said with a sneer: "The murderer proves his innocence, and they are often playing tricks. The Fourth Highness probably wants to call the thief to catch the thief, saying that he was injured by the assassin because he chased and killed the assassin?"

Xiao Ning responded with a sneer, and glanced at the old hall master beside him: "Young Duke, it seems that he will not die until the Yellow River, even if the old hall master has an examination, you will say that my Xiao family bought the old hall master , let him perjure."

Duke Li's face changed, and he felt a little guilty.

"Since that's the case, I have another piece of evidence that no one can perjure!" Xiao Ning said firmly, "Lao Song, prepare your horse and go to Xiangguo Temple!"

Hearing these three words, Duke Li trembled three times as if struck by lightning.

Xiangguo Temple is a temple built by the founding emperor Taizu himself, and the abbots of each generation are eminent monks who have attained the Tao.When the country was in war, all the monks in the temple joined the army and served the court.When there were bandits and bandits, the Bodhidharma hall and other hall masters also gathered monks to organize rebels.

Every year, the emperor would go to Xiangguo Temple to pay homage to the Buddha and fast for three days in order to hope for peace in the world.

"My husband said that he sat in meditation and chanted sutras in Xiangguo Temple until his son's day. Not to mention whether the monks in Xiangguo Temple would lie, he was not the only one who chanted sutras and chanted Buddha together in the hall. Duke Li always Do you think that monks tell lies, and those pilgrims who have never met before are willing to protect your husband?" Xiao Ning looked at the tall and majestic golden plaque of Xiangguo Temple, clasped his hands together, and nodded reverently.

Li Juegong's face turned pale, and he didn't order anyone to go in for a long time to inquire.

This is indeed conclusive evidence that cannot be falsified.

"Even if the Fourth Highness is not the murderer who stabbed the concubine, he was shot by the arrow, and he will be taken back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation no matter what!" Li Juegong whispered coldly, turning his head away from Xiangguo Temple.

"Then let the Secretary of the Criminal Ministry sign the arrest warrant." Xiao Ning responded lightly, without the official document from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Duke Li has no right to arrest anyone.

"It's about the life of the concubine! Even if the Fourth Highness is not the murderer, he might be an eyewitness. If you get the clue a moment later, the murderer will be free for a moment! If this is a good opportunity for you to make a mistake, can you afford it?" Duke Li shook his sleeves and stepped forward. , eyes tearing apart.
