Charming bone fragrance, concubine this snake and scorpion

Ye Mingzhu's face changed greatly: "Master Duan, what did you say? I was not found guilty, why should I be imprisoned?"

"Eldest princess, this minister is also acting according to the report." Duan Zhengzong looked puzzled, he could favoritism and not imprison her, but the seventh imperial concubine would definitely not allow it, not to mention he didn't want to favoritism.

"If I'm not guilty in the end, does Lord Duan know what's wrong with imprisoning me?" Ye Mingzhu stared at Duan Zhengzong coldly, she was really bold enough, and she didn't think that besides the prime minister's wife, this person was standing in front of him. The biggest princess in the country dares to touch her, it seems that he doesn't want to be an official anymore.

"Er Niang, Lord Duan is only acting in accordance with the law, why do you threaten her like this, let alone you, the third prince was imprisoned for so long last time, could it be that Er Niang, your body is more noble than the third prince?" Leng Ru Hitomi smiled lightly, and took out Ye Qianzhi to press her down.

Duan Zhengzong straightened his face: "Eldest princess, I have offended you, so put the eldest princess and Miss Leng San in jail. Bai Yu and Huang Botou will quickly lead people to investigate the case. Withdraw." He has to investigate this case, but You have to report it to the emperor, it's okay if it's not the eldest princess, if so, then the emperor can only settle the case.

No one dared to step forward to bet on Ye Mingzhu, Ye Mingzhu stood there proudly and did not move, the officers and soldiers could only surround her but did not dare to go forward, Leng Rutong said with a smile: "Er Niang, it's just imprisonment, not beheading, why bother?" If you are so stubborn, don’t force the officers and soldiers to fight with you.”

She glanced at Leng Ruxiu quietly again, turned around and walked out of the mansion.

The haughty Ye Mingzhu was about to go to jail, which was really heart-warming, Leng Rutong happily got into the carriage, and Dadai and Xiangsi got into the carriage after her.

"Miss, why did you just ask Mr. Duan to end the trial?" Xiangsi was puzzled, since no one is here now, it is the best time to finalize the case, when witnesses are all present, and it is an easy case to handle.

"Xiangsi, Ye Mingzhu is not an ordinary person. She is the emperor's most beloved sister. Even if she is convicted now, the emperor may overthrow it when the emperor comes. What we want is certainty. The emperor can't even push it for her. Evidence, to bring down Ye Mingzhu, the crime of poisoning me under the light is not enough." It is easy to convict Ye Mingzhu, but it is very difficult to get her punished. Chance.

"What do you mean, miss?"

"Ye Mingzhu will definitely attack the new witnesses. Except for those few cooks, there must have been other people who heard it when Ding Xiang went to deliver the order, especially the girl who served the dishes. Ye Mingzhu will definitely kill people to silence her." After the betrayal of several cooks this time, Ye Mingzhu knew that she would be threatened if she kept the insider, so she would definitely kill her.

And those cooks have already become witnesses. If she is killed now, she must be the one who did it. She will not be so stupid, but she will definitely find a way to threaten those cooks to change their confessions. What method will she use?

Leng Rutong thought for a while, stood up and jumped off the carriage: "You two go protect the girl who served the food first, and you are good at martial arts, so I'll leave it to you, and I will definitely protect that girl."

Ni Qianlong was full of grievances and anger, and glanced at her, turning her beautiful face away.

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiangsi asked worriedly.

"I have other things. Don't worry about me." Leng Rutong said as she walked towards another carriage: "Go back to the mansion."

****

Ye Mingzhu was imprisoned for less than half an hour, Leng Qingxiang, Leng Ruling, Ye Huaihe, and Leng Rushui all came to the prison to visit, and the cell almost turned into a family gathering in the Leng family.

Several people discussed and left until midnight.

Leng Rutong listened to the report from the person sent out and nodded: "I see, thank you for your hard work, pay attention to Chef Zhang's family, and report to me if there is any movement."

"Yes, imperial concubine." The visitor took the order and went down.

Leng Rutong found that although there were not many people in the Seven Emperors' Palace, all of them were elites. Like this time, she wanted to employ people, and there was no need for her to say more. Everyone was doing well, and these people were definitely not Ordinary guards, obviously well-trained.

It's just that how could Ye Fengya, a Daoist priest, have these well-trained subordinates around him?To protect yourself?He is a Taoist priest, who would hurt him, why did he have so many people to protect himself, and those properties, he obviously has so much wealth, but it is not obvious, and it is even done very secretly, so that others will not know.

Leng Rutong realized that Ye Fengya was not simple, at least not as it appeared on the surface.

In the middle of the night, Xiangsi came back with Dadai, the girl who served food was not well protected, she had already thrown her body in the well, the murderer had been caught, but committed suicide by taking poison, there is no proof of death.

"Hmph, Ye Mingzhu is really good at it. This time, she dragged two lives down to accompany her." Leng Rutong pinched the table tightly with a jade hand. People like Ye Mingzhu will not be punished. It is unforgivable for her to do this. You can treat others in the same way as you treat maids. I'm afraid that the mother who is as cold as Tong is really the one who killed her.

As soon as she spoke, someone came to report that Chef Zhang's wife and children had their ten fingers cut off, and his face was as cold as Tong Tong's: "Have you caught the murderer?"

"When the servants rushed, they saw the murderer running away. When they pursued, they saw that the murderer was killed with a hidden weapon, so that the person with the hidden weapon could not catch up." The guard who reported had a look of regret.

"Is there anyone to help report the crime? Where is Chef Zhang?"

"In the Prime Minister's Mansion. The local government already knows where Chef Zhang's house is, but I'm afraid it will be nothing."

Leng Rutong smiled coldly: "Hmph, let's go, let's go to Chef Zhang, I'm afraid he has already received ten fingers from his wife and children." Leng Rutong said and stood up: "Xiangsi, you rest first, Daidai and I Just go together."

It's past time, the night is not hot, it's still a bit cold, cold as Tong leaned in the carriage and stared blankly, today she has been doing things for herself, although she looks unhappy, but she has done everything that needs to be done, Thinking that he is a high-ranking prince, he must be feeling unhappy in various ways.

"My lord, let me tell you how you look at life with your high status." Leng Rutong was a little curious, why Ye Mingzhu was so beautiful, but her heart was so vicious, was it in the hearts of these noble people, other people The life of a human is really worthless, just like humans treat animals, killing them if they want to eat them.

Of course, she is not the Holy Mother. On the contrary, she has killed many people, but there is absolutely no innocent life.

"People don't offend me, I don't move him, I don't have that much time to spare." Ni Qianlong lazily replied to her, it's really tiring to be this lady's attendant, it's late at night and no one is allowed to rest: "Miss, tonight I've been busy so late, can I take a day off tomorrow?"

"What if I just accidentally offend you? For example, the cooks like this."

Ni Qianlong smiled coquettishly: "This kind of thing would never happen to me. The person who needs to be cleaned up will be cleaned up at once, and she will never leave alive to let her bite me back. Ye Mingzhu is stupid for not killing you once, Xiaobaixiao Make trouble for women."

Leng Rutong also smiled with a chill in his eyes: "I will remember what you said." Talking about life with someone like Ni Qianlong is simply ruining the topic.But although his cruel words are not unreasonable, at least now that she bites Ye Mingzhu back, she will kill her once, and she must never let her have another chance to bite him.

When we arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and Leng Qingxiang was interrogating the other three cooks, but Chef Zhang was no longer there. It is said that he fled because he was afraid of perjury.Leng Qingxiang just said flatly: "Cook Zhang has escaped, but he will definitely be caught. If the three of you perjure your testimony again tomorrow, you will end up like Cook Zhang."

The rest of the cooks were trembling with fright. When Chef Zhang received his wife and children's ten fingers, they were all present, and they were so scared that their butts pissed. A few hours later, I ran to Chef Zhang's hometown to fetch his wife's and children's ten fingers. This was to make an example of others. Chef Zhang escaped, but they couldn't escape again.

"Father, how do you know that Chef Zhang left with perjury, maybe he was scared away by someone." Leng Rutong walked in with a pure face: "Er Niang is so powerful, maybe Chef Zhang He was scared away by her."

"Elder sister can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Mother, because you are now in prison and suffering, you are still here to say such sarcastic remarks." Leng Rushui looked at Leng Rutong with vicious eyes, wishing Spoil her for eight dollars, she has caused enough trouble, if you don't teach her a lesson, they will be easy to bully.

"Sixth brother, can't you hear that what I said was a compliment? Erniang doesn't even need to kneel in court, and she dares to threaten Mr. Duan. What a majesty this is. This cook can't be scared away at first sight, but he It was Erniang's emissary to testify. Why don't you ask these cooks if they are afraid of Erniang's heavenly power." Leng Rutong calmly.

"Rutong, what do you mean?" Leng Qingxiang said with a serious face, no matter what he wanted to keep Ye Mingzhu, no matter what she did wrong.

"Father, I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell these cooks that Erniang is also a human being. Don't be so afraid of her. Now that Erniang is in prison, you are all so afraid of her. If she is released, then what are you doing?" Do it. Don’t run away like Chef Zhang, fleeing will only be said to be absconding in fear of crime, and this crime may harm the family.” Leng Rutong clapped his hands after speaking: “I’m leaving, I’m afraid that Chef Zhang will die in the wilderness today Already, there will be one less witness in court tomorrow. Sigh.”

She has said what she should say, whether the three cooks can understand is their problem, and she can't help if her IQ is in a hurry.They helped Ye Mingzhu harm her, it's fine if she didn't settle accounts with them, if she still wants them to help him, she's not that great.

Ye Mingzhu is a ruthless person, she can mess with their family members in prison, if they change their confessions and let Ye Mingzhu be acquitted, they should also think about what will happen to them, and the end will definitely not be worse than threatening them now powerful.

Leng Rushui and Leng Qingxiang looked at Leng Rutong's leaving figure, and understood that she came here specially to warn the cooks not to change their confessions randomly, this girl was really careful.

Seeing this situation, Leng Qingxiang had no choice but to change his words and said: "No matter what reason Chef Zhang escaped from, it's a good thing that you three didn't escape. If you can tell the truth who is the real mastermind, my master, I will keep your whole family safe."

The cooks felt like meat under a kitchen knife. No matter whether they were cut horizontally or vertically, they had to be cut with a knife. They had no idea which would be more enjoyable.

****

After leaving the prime minister's mansion, Ni Qianlong asked Leng Rutong curiously: "Aren't you going to arrest Chef Zhang?"

"I want to arrest him too, but I think it would be futile to go now. Even if he really escaped, Ye Mingzhu and the others would arrest him first, but his life should be safe now. I just said in front of Leng Qingxiang that he would In the wasteland of violent corpses, Leng Qingxiang will definitely let Chef Zhang appear in court tomorrow in order to reassure the cooks."

Facts have proved that what Leng Rutong said was true. In the courtroom the next day, Chef Zhang really appeared. Not only did he appear, but he also changed his confession. I'm sorry ma'am, I ran away and came back.

Chef Zhang, you're doing well, you don't blush when you make this kind of perjury, and your mouth is unambiguous, so I'm sorry, you are looking for your own death, don't blame me for not protecting you.Leng Rutong snorted coldly: "Sir, Chef Zhang's confession is completely reversed. I think there is a lot of content in it. Of course, no matter what his reasons are, false testimony in this court is a death penalty. Please report to the Lord for handling. "

When Chef Zhang heard this, he became anxious: "My lord, the grass people have their own difficulties, please make the decision, Your lord."

"Everyone has their own difficulties. If they don't follow the king's law because of their difficulties, then the country will be in chaos..." Duan Zhengzong snapped a few cases: "Procrastinate, beheaded at noon tomorrow, as a warning to others."

"My lord... my lord... the grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged." Chef Zhang struggled and screamed miserably, but he didn't expect that he would be beheaded so soon, he shouted: "Madam, ma'am, you replace the grass people Say something."

He looked at Ye Huaihe desperately. They said they would guarantee his family would be safe, but they sent him to the guillotine just like that. "Ma'am, you said you would keep my family safe, so what you say doesn't count." Anyway, he was about to die, and Chef Zhang wasn't afraid to say it.

"Nonsense, I was in prison, when did I see you." Ye Mingzhu looked at him with disdain, a stupid person who thought she would protect him.

"My lord, the grass people are really wronged. They threatened the grass people with their family members. The grass people changed their confession only after being threatened. It is not a pity for the grass people to die. Please, sir, protect the grass people's family." Before Zhang Chef was taken away, only This sentence was left behind.

Leng Rutong quickly opened his mouth: "My lord, although Chef Zhang is guilty, his family was indeed hurt. Last night, Chef Zhang's wife and children were cut off with ten fingers, and he changed his confession today. My lord has to deal with it." Mingchao."

"Oh...there is such a thing. Bai Yu went to check the plans in various places to see if there was such a thing." Duan Zhengzong was surprised, how could one case after another.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to investigate. This matter must have not been filed. You might as well invite Chef Zhang's wife and children to the court to find out."

What if the face said so.As soon as Leng Rutong said this, the faces of Leng Rutong and his group changed drastically. How could Leng Rutong know that they moved Chef Zhang's family?How did she know, and brought Chef Zhang's wife and children to Yege City.

A 40-year-old woman in Tsing Yi and a young man in his twenties walked in from outside the courtroom. Their palms were wrapped in gauze and they had no fingers. 13acv.

The two knelt down and begged to be the master: "My lord, Master Qingtian, you have to be the master of the grass people's family." The two recounted what happened last night, Duan Zhengzong's face became even uglier, and the uglier face was Ye Mingzhu's.

"What evidence do you have to say that I did it? I did it when you were threatened. The evidence in court is the evidence." Ye Mingzhu still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, the relevant personnel had been killed, and there was no proof.

"My lord, I also believe that Erniang did not do this. How could she do these things while she is in a prison? It must have been done by someone who wanted to exonerate Erniang. My lord must be clear about this matter. I am not afraid to wait , I’m willing to wait even if it takes a year and a half to check.” Leng Rutong immediately echoed her words, since you don’t admit it, that’s fine, just drag your daughter and son down and see what you do.

"There is no need for any evidence for this matter. Chef Zhang is a dying person, and his wife and children have indeed had their fingers amputated. His words must be credible. If this is not credible, then I really don't know what is evidence. Who does the murder have to be seen by adults to be evidence?"

Leng Sishui knelt down at the side and said, "My lord, it is true what Chef Zhang said about his mother guaranteeing his family's life is safe. We did look for him and asked him to tell the truth, so that he should not be afraid. We will do our best to protect his life if someone threatens him. But we really don’t know about the amputation of his wife and children’s fingers, so please be aware of it. This must be framed.”

"You should rest assured that this matter will be found out by the officer and passed on to other witnesses."

The other three cooks went to court, knelt down and said: "My lord, it was indeed Madam who instigated me to hurt the Seventh Concubine the day before yesterday. The grassroots beg you to protect the Caomin family."

Leng Rutong was secretly happy, having seen how Zhang Chef changed his confession, it was really a question of IQ if they dared to change their confession, they deserved to die.

Duan Zhengzong took a few cases and shouted: "Madam Leng, what else can I say?"

"Your Excellency, you can ask them how I ordered them. I have never even left the West Wing." Ye Mingzhu's face showed fear, and she looked at Leng Qingxiang resentfully, blaming him for his ineffectiveness and making so many tricks. Several people died, but they still couldn't get them to change their confessions.

Leng Rutong sneered: "Er Niang, do you want to say that your order from your close maid Ding Xiang is her private act and has nothing to do with you?"

"That's her personal behavior, how can I control it, I don't know if she did it or not, I feel baffled now." Ye Mingzhu's eyes flashed with poison, Ding Xiang, don't blame the madam for being vicious, at worst, the madam will help you take care of your family Well, Madam treats you well on weekdays, so you take the blame for Madam.

"Then Er Niang, do you want to hear what your most trusted maid Ding Xiang has to say?" Leng Rutong smiled happily.

Ding Xiang is indeed the most trusted girl by Ye Mingzhu's side, she went to the court and took a look at Ye Mingzhu, she understood everything, knelt down and confessed all her crimes.Asking people to use poisonous potatoes and letting a few cooks put the blame on Miss San was all her own idea, and the order was passed in the name of Madam.

Because she is jealous of the Seventh Prince, because she has unreasonable thoughts about the Seventh Prince.Good one to admit it all.

"It turns out that in the prime minister's mansion, a maid can cover the sky with one hand...Father, your prime minister's mansion is famous." Leng Rutong said mockingly, making Leng Qingxiang's face livid. "Since you are willing to admit it, girl, why don't you also confess the crime of threatening Chef Zhang and killing the girl serving dishes?"

"There is one more thing I don't understand. Since Ding Xiang did it privately, why did Er Niang make Third Sister take the blame under such deceitful conditions? Shouldn't the real culprit be found out?"

"That's when I saw that the master was upset, and I was afraid that I would not be able to hand over to the Seventh Prince, and all the witnesses pointed out that it was Ruxiu, but Ruxiu refused to plead guilty, so I had no choice but to do something wrong." Ye Mingzhu blushed without heartbeat Tell a lie, tell yourself how righteous and considerate you are.

Duan Zhengzong frowned: "That is to say, Ding Xiang admitted all the sins. It was indeed the potatoes she asked the cook to use, and it was she who asked someone to plant dirt on the third lady. The third lady is innocent, and Mrs. Leng really didn't know about all this. Yes or no?"

"My lord, that's it." Ye Mingzhu and Ding Xiang both confessed.

"Well, I still have another witness, Bai Yu!" Duan Zhengzong called his most capable subordinate.

Bai Yu came out with a piece of testimony: "My lord, yesterday I listened to my lord's order to find a new witness, that is, the maid who served the food. I wanted to bring her to testify in court today, but who knew that it would only happen in a blink of an eye. In less time, she was killed in the well."

"However, the maid next to the Seventh Concubine Xing Er reminded me that I was afraid of any accidents, so I asked the next official to ask her questions when I saw the maid. This is the maid's confession, please read it over, my lord." Bai Yu said and presented On the confession.

Ye Mingzhu's complexion changed drastically, she staggered slightly, and almost fell down, how could this happen, that girl was obviously dealt with very quickly, why did she ask the person in charge to interrogate her in advance, this is not in line with the procedure of handling the case.

"Although this law violates the procedure of handling the case, it also preserves the testimony of a witness. The officer thought that it was obvious that whoever this person's confession said was the one who killed her."

After reading the confession seriously, Duan Zhengzong left the lobby: "Mrs. Leng, take a look at it yourself. You and the maid Ding Xiang will give this girl the order that the potatoes must be placed in front of the Seventh Concubine and the Seventh Prince. Now I deny that I don't know." Affection?"

Ye Mingzhu's face was pale, and her lips lost their color. How could this happen? She was just afraid that the girl would put the dishes in the wrong place and hurt her son, so she didn't feel at ease and went to order it herself. She didn't expect that, But he was caught, Leng Rutong was so powerful, even if he killed the girl, he couldn't stop the confession from coming out.

"My lord, this confession must be false. Now that the girl is dead, there is no proof of her death at all. You can make a fake one at will."

"Bold, my subordinates have always been fair and honest. You can say that the confession he personally tried was false. It's obvious sophistry. It's fine for you to hurt the seventh prince and the seventh concubine, but you dare to carelessly kill people, hurt people and disable them , as the eldest princess of the Ye Sheng Dynasty, how can you be worthy of the emperor's great love for you? First, you will be taken into the prison, and you will be convicted after reporting the matter to the emperor."
