"Seventh Imperial Concubine, what do you mean? Everyone has resentment. If you kill someone because of resentment, it is a crime." Empress Xiaode was so stimulated by her that her face looked dull. Rutong, a splasher, actually said that she was not favored in front of everyone!

"Yes, the queen also knows that everyone will have resentment, but because of such a little resentment, you go to kill your husband and king. Do you think my husband would be so stupid? If he had been resentful for a long time, he would not have chosen When he was alone with the emperor, you might as well ask these common people, would they be so stupid?"

Leng Rutong said calmly.

"Of course not..." someone called out from the crowd of common people.

"The guards around the emperor are highly skilled in martial arts. If the seventh prince wanted to strike, he could only do so when he was alone with the emperor. It happened that Jixiang Ruyi was not there that day, so he would not let this opportunity go. How can someone be envious when he is jealous of him? It's irrational to manage it." Naturally, it wasn't Empress Xiaode who said this, but Taifu Ning who was at the side.

"Teacher Ning, you need to talk about evidence. You are not my husband. How do you know what he thinks? I don't want to talk about anything else now. I just need to overthrow the indirect evidence that can convict my husband, because you don't have the most direct evidence. The evidence proves that my husband is the murderer. Sir Duan, is it possible to cleanse my husband by doing this?"

Leng Rutong is very lazy, Mrs. Ning is arguing, is she more talkative than anyone else today.

"If the Seventh Concubine can overthrow these things, she will naturally be able to exonerate the Seventh Prince." Duan Zhengchong gave her an affirmative answer, and his words made everyone present have different expressions.Duan Zhengchong has always been cautious in handling cases, yet he would give such an affirmative answer to the Seventh Concubine.

Leng Rutong smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, first, because there are only father and my husband in the side hall, it is judged that he is the murderer. This point, Ning Taifu and Su Youxiang took the responsibility to show that this is absurd .Secondly, my husband resented my father, so it is possible to kill the emperor. Empress Xiaode also defended my husband. My husband is not the only one who has resentment towards my father.

Thirdly, my husband is standing in the right position to assassinate the emperor, so please master bring up the murderous dagger. "

How could the master dare to be negligent, so he handed the sandalwood box to her, and Leng Rutong wrapped the dagger with woven cotton and took it out from the other side, and put it in front of everyone: "This dagger is short and delicate, and it is sharpened. It is very smooth, and it is obvious that the owner has maintained it very well. It is obvious that ordinary people cannot use it. My husband has never had this kind of dagger. He has a god-made dagger made by a sword master at his waist at any time. Weeping, he will definitely use his own weapon to kill, and he will never use someone else's dagger."

"Seventh Imperial Concubine, Seventh Brother will naturally not use his own weapon to kill people. Isn't this intentional to be caught?" Ye Huaihe said coolly from the side.

"Wrong, my husband must have used his God's Cry and his Qingfeng Sword to kill people. He wanted to kill Ning Wanwan in front of Fengyi Palace that day. He also used his own God's Cry. Empress Xiaode knew that .” Leng Rutong turned to Empress Xiaode.

Empress Xiaode nodded, "It is true that the Seventh Prince used his God Weeping Dagger that day, but it doesn't mean that he will also use the God Weeping Dagger to kill the Emperor. There is no certain connection, right?"

Leng Rutong knew they would say that, she took a dagger to look carefully, and smiled with the corners of her lips: "Since you don't believe it, then I will prove it to you. Xiao Bi brought the flour. "

Xiaobi obediently delivered the pure white flour in a basin, Duan Zhengchong saw that she was holding a dagger and was about to make a move, so he quickly stopped: "Seventh Imperial Concubine, what are you going to do, the dagger is a witness and cannot be destroyed."

Leng Rutong glared at him: "Since it is a witness, it will naturally play its role as a witness. I can let the dagger speak for itself. The person who uses it is not my husband." Leng Rutong grabbed a handful of flour and gently Blowing directly at the short and sturdy dagger handle, some deep and shallow marks appeared on the thin handle.

"Master Duan, please come here." Leng Rutong carefully held the dagger in his hand, summoned Duan Zhengchong, and handed the dagger to his eyes: "Look carefully, what do the marks on it look like?"

Duan Zhengchong looked at it carefully, showing a surprised expression: "It looks like a fingerprint."

Leng Rutong nodded: "The imprints on this dagger are very neat and not messy, which means that this dagger was only held by one person, and that is the murderer. Since the murderer uses a lot of force when committing the crime, the dagger on the handle is The handprints are very deep, and it can be clearly seen that the person is holding the handle."

Leng Rutong carefully turned the dagger to one side, then gently blew on the flour, even on both sides, then carefully looked at the shape of the fingerprint, and frowned, how could this happen?

Ye Qianzhi noticed something was wrong with her, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Leng Rutong looked at the handle in disbelief, how could this happen, she raised her head and asked Ye Qianzhi in puzzlement: "Is this dagger the emperor's?"

Ye Qianzhi shook his head: "I haven't seen Father use it before."

A group of people asked her strange questions, but Duan Zhengchong asked directly; "What did the Seventh Concubine see on the handle?"

Leng Rutong took the handle and put it in front of Duan Zhengchong: "Master Duan, take a closer look at the handprints on it. This is your thumb. The thumb is facing the side with the blade on your back. This is your little finger. The tiger's mouth is in the here."

Duan Zhengchong had never used this kind of fingerprints to investigate cases and asked in confusion: "What does the Seventh Concubine mean?"

Leng Rutong turned her head and said to Xiaobi: "Xiaobi, give me your dagger."

Shang Bili took out a dagger that was hidden from her waist, and everyone present was amazed when they saw this scene, the maid beside Leng Rutong was definitely not simple.

Leng Rutong took the dagger and made a demonstration, holding the handle of the dagger, pointed out calmly and said: "If a person stabs someone with a dagger, the little finger must be the farthest from the end of the blade, but adults see In the handprint on it, the little finger is closest to the blade, which means that when the murderer was holding the dagger, the blade was not aimed at others, but himself."

Her words immediately caused an uproar among the people present: "You mean, the emperor assassinated himself with a dagger." Empress Xiaode couldn't help raising her volume, feeling that Leng Rutong was talking in the sky.

Duan Zhengchong asked suspiciously: "Could it be the left hand?"

Leng Rutong resolutely changed Xiaobi's dagger: "Whether it is the left hand or the right hand, when a person holds something, the end facing the outside is the farthest from the little finger. You can see the fingerprints on the murder weapon. The little finger is close to the end of the blade, which means that the blade was facing inward. If the murderer wanted to kill the emperor, there was only one possibility that he stood behind the emperor and went around and stabbed him in the chest. But at that time my husband was standing Opposite to the emperor, so he is absolutely impossible to be the murderer."

Emperor you who has a favor.Ye Qianzhi and Ye Liangchen showed relieved expressions, and the others showed unwillingness, and Mrs. Ning even denied her directly: "Who knows if the handprints of the Seventh Concubine on the murder weapon just appeared after doing something, one by one How come there are fingerprints on the dagger that has been stored for a few days, do you usually have fingerprints on the things you hold?"

"Teacher Ning, you don't read much and have little knowledge. I don't care about you. I can teach you a lesson. People, as long as they touch anything, they will leave fingerprints. Although they are invisible to the naked eye, as long as they are processed , the fingerprints can be revealed. As long as the people behind have not moved, no matter how long it takes, the fingerprints will always be kept on it.”

Leng Rutong smiled softly: "Of course Mrs. Ning has no experience, I said you would not believe it, can you take off the third prince's jade pendant and give it to me?" Leng Rutong glanced at the suet white jade hanging around Ye Qianzhi's neck .

Ye Qianzhi took it off without comment and handed it to Leng Rutong.

"Maybe you have to dye your jade pendant with some flour, don't you mind?" Leng Rutong asked.

Ye Qianzhi said flatly: "It doesn't matter."

"How long has it been since the third prince touched this jade pendant?"

"It's been a long time, I don't really remember, anyway, I probably haven't touched it in the past few days."

Leng Rutong gently blew flour on the jade pendant just like before, and the finger marks on it appeared lightly and shallowly. Leng Rutong handed the sling to Taifu Ning: "Please look clearly, this jade pendant is three The prince hasn't touched it for a few days, and he will still show the lines of fingerprints, so the Tai Tuo still wants to say that the fingerprints on the murder weapon are my hands and feet?"

Mrs. Ning's face was livid, and he looked suffocated. He never thought that fingerprints could be used to solve the case like this.

"Master Duan, my husband is standing opposite the emperor, it is absolutely impossible to take this dagger, may I ask if my husband can be cleared of the crime?" Leng Rutong looked at Duan Zhengchong with no refusal.

Duan Zhengchong took the murder weapon from Leng Rutong's hand, observed it carefully for a while, and finally said: "It is indeed as the Seventh Concubine said, from the handprint of this dagger, the direction the murderer held the dagger was facing inward."

"Even so, it cannot be ruled out that after the seventh prince killed the emperor from behind, he ran to the opposite side." Empress Xiaode was still struggling.

Duan Zhengchong shook his head: "I would like to report to the empress, I have already asked about Ji Xiangruyi, when they heard the emperor's pain outside, they rushed in immediately. At that time, the seventh prince had been standing opposite the emperor, so quickly, It is impossible for the Seventh Prince to assassinate the emperor and then stand on the opposite side without moving a muscle." 13acv.

"Then, Lord Duan, can you let my husband out of prison?" Leng Rutong asked loudly.

Duan Zhengchong nodded: "Yes, the imperial concubine wants to go in person, or let the minister send someone?"

Leng Rutong smiled sweetly: "Of course I plan to go in person." Leng Rutong turned around after finishing speaking, but was stopped by Duan Zhengchong again: "Seventh Imperial Concubine, with this fingerprint, can we find the murderer?"

Leng Rutong shook his head at him: "Everyone's handprints are similar, and the stripes made by this flour may not be clear, and it is difficult to check." When he said the last sentence, Leng Rutong looked at him with warning eyes. Duan Zhengchong.

Duan Zhengchong was slightly taken aback, as if he understood what she meant, he lowered his body and sent her out respectfully.
