Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 368

Qin Siyue sobbed: "Actually, it's not wrong to say that I killed them. If I had woken them up earlier, maybe they could have escaped, but I am also afraid that they are used to frame me. Then they will say that the fire was I let it go, I can’t explain it clearly even if my mouth is full of words..."

Yu Qing patted her back comfortingly: "Si Yue, you don't need to blame yourself. You are not wrong. You have done a good job. You rescued Jing Xin. In a critical moment, it is not wrong to choose to protect yourself. Later If Mr. Fu Yin asks you, tell the truth and never admit guilt that you shouldn’t admit.”

"Yeah!" Qin Siyue agreed, but without any hope.

She was no longer a princess, but an abandoned concubine who had been deposed, and she was the daughter of a guilty minister. Others would no longer believe what she said.

"Yu Qing, I am very satisfied to see you again."

"What are you talking about? We still have a long time ahead."

Qin Siyue hoped, is it possible?

"Yu Qing, you asked me last time. I couldn't answer you because I never thought about this question seriously. After you left, I kept thinking about it and regretting it. I should have told you right then that I was willing. "Yes." Qin Siyue said, she was afraid that if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't have the chance to say it.

"But don't be burdened. I know I'm not worthy of you. If you meet a woman who is willing to treat you well in the future, just forget about me!"

Yu Qing tightened his arms and said in a hoarse voice: "Si Yue, don't talk nonsense, I have identified you a long time ago and will never change in my life, no matter you are the young lady of the Qin family, the crown prince, or Jingwan. "

Yu Qing returned to the tavern and relayed what Qin Siyue said word for word.

"Ms. Jiang, you will believe her, right?"

Jiang Wanning frowned: "The key is to make the government believe it, but her injuries cannot be concealed. The government will think that she has the motive of arson. And the rescued Jingxin, if Qin Siyue said, she When they returned, Jingxin was already unconscious. Jingxin could not testify for Qin Siyue. On the contrary, if Jingxin revealed that they had humiliated and bullied Qin Siyue in every possible way, it would have strengthened Qin Siyue's case. motive for arson."

"What should we do?" Yu Qing was anxious.

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Go to the Water Dragon Team."

The two went to the Fire Dragon Team together. Accompanied by Ye Zhong, who was in charge of inspecting the fire scene, they went to Fahua Temple.

"The wind was strong last night and the fire was so fierce that it burned everything down." Standing in front of the charred ruins, Ye Chong said.

"It's not easy for us to find the origin of the fire."

Jiang Wan Ning asked: "Where is the fire?"

Ye Chong pointed to the southwest corner.

"The people in Fahua Nunnery all live in the west wing, the master lives in the main wing, and the others live in the east and west wings."

"You said the window and door in Master Tai's room were not closed. Which window and door was left open? Can you tell?"

"It should be the window door on the north side."

"Is it possible that someone climbed in through the window and set the fire?"

Ye Chong thought for a while: "It's not impossible. It's a pity that they were all burned by the fire. Otherwise, the footprints could be traced. Oh, but I saw a row of orchids planted under the window. The soil for the orchids was dug from the mountains. It's not very good. Same."

As he spoke, Ye Chong led the two of them carefully through the ruins to the north window.

The orchids are all burned, but when you peel off the soil above, you can see that the soil below is dark brown.

"So, if you climb through the window and set fire, you will inevitably step on the soil, right?" Yu Qing asked.

"That's right, unless that person has Qinggong and can jump into the house across the flower garden." Ye Zhong said.

Jiang Wanning asked: "Is there such soil in other places in this nunnery?"

Ye Zhong shook his head: "It should be gone. The ground in this nunnery is covered with blue bricks. There is a vegetable field over there. The soil in the vegetable field is brown and different."

After some inspection, everyone returned to the government office.

Master Yin is already interrogating. After listening to Qin Siyue's confession, Mr. Yin said: "These are all your words. When the doctor bandaged your wound earlier, he saw many bruises on your body. Tell me, where did these bruises come from? ?”

"It was Jingchen and the others who beat me."

"Do they often beat you?"

"Yes, every day."

"So, you want them to die, right?"

Qin Siyue hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully: "Yes."

"So, you set fire to kill them."

"No, I didn't set the fire. I was just the first one to notice the fire, but I didn't wake them up immediately. I just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from Fahua Temple. I thought the smoke was so choking, they might soon "Xiao Xing, I didn't expect that they would all die."

"You still dare to quibble. It's obvious that you have been harboring grudges for a long time and planning for a long time to set fires and kill people."

Qin Siyue felt sad because he knew this would happen.

She couldn't even think about arguing, and it was useless to say anything.

"Yes or no?" Mr. Yin slapped the gavel hard and shouted loudly.

"No, but you must put the charge of arson on me, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"You, you are saying that I have wronged you?"

Qin Siyue looked at Mr. Yin indifferently, thinking that at the beginning, Mr. Yin wanted to sit in this position and went to the East Palace to beg Xiao Wang. When he saw her, he knelt down and saluted her respectfully, looking like a servile servant. , she also helped to talk.

But now that he was sitting in the high hall, he made such a hasty conclusion and insisted on dumping a bucket of dirty water on her head.

Retribution, it’s all retribution.

"You can say whatever you want, sir." Qin Siyue was frustrated.

Master Yin said contemptuously: "An Pingbo conspired to rebel and punish the five clans, but he missed you, an outsider. Who would have thought that you set fire to kill people, and it turns out that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

Qin Siyue smiled sarcastically: "When I first asked for an official position, I said that the one I admired most in my life was Uncle An Ping!"

Mr. Yin blushed: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I say such a thing?"

The imperial court is still purging those who rebel against the party. If such words reach the ears of the prince, it will be a big deal.

"Come here, Zhang Zui, let's see if she still dares to talk nonsense, climb and bite randomly."

The government officials came forward, detained Qin Siyue and threatened to torture him.

"Wait a minute." A clear voice shouted.

Jiang Wan Ning, Ye Chong and Yu Qing went to court.

"County Master, I am reviewing the case. The County Master has something to discuss later." Mr. Yin did not dare to be rude to Jiang Wan Ning. The backer behind Jiang Wan Ning was the prince, Prime Minister Gu, and he could not afford to offend him.

Jiang Wanning said: "I am here because I am related to the case. The Crown Prince has ordered me to assist in the investigation of the case."

With that said, Jiang Wan Ning gestured towards Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong stepped forward, checked the soles of Qin Siyue's shoes, and then shook his head.

Master Yin said: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Wanning said: "We have just returned from the fire scene inspection. The fire started in the master's room. If you want to enter the master's room to set fire, you can only enter through the north window, and there are a row of orchids planted under the north window. That kind of orchid The soil was dug from the mountains and was dark brown. If Jingwan climbed in through the window, he would surely step on this kind of soil and the soles of his shoes would be stained with this kind of soil. However, Jingwang's soles were not stained with this kind of soil. She didn’t set the fire.”
