The Queen Mother's Kitchen Knife

Chapter 634 Let’s show some face (2)
As soon as the words fell, Tang Jili said disdainfully: "Nonsense, how do you know if the Prince Regent's Mansion plans to go to Guo'an Temple?"

Because he discussed many ways to deal with the Prince Regent's Mansion with his father last night, and made some preparations, Tang Jili didn't seem to be in a panic at the moment, but he felt confident.

A mere servant's witness, this is nothing!
The regent remained silent, and handed everything over to Shao Ankang, who had been following the Guoan Temple case from the very beginning.

Seeing that Tang Jili was not afraid of the family's witnesses, Shao Ankang waved his hand again, and a thin and shy man who shivered more than the family members of the Tang family was brought into the hall.

Dressed in coarse and torn clothes, he is just an ordinary commoner.

Kneeling down in the resplendent palace hall, his face was already ashamed of fright.Kneeling and kowtowing, he shouted: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the villain is wronged!"

Seeing that he claims to be a villain, one can tell that he is indeed a humble civilian.At this moment, he was so frightened that his mind was confused, and he was afraid that he would be taken to this scary place and see this group of scary people even if he didn't know what he had committed.

Shao Ankang shouted: "Shouting is not allowed in the hall!"

The commoner immediately closed his mouth in horror, not daring to say another word.

Seeing that the witness had calmed down, Shao Ankang took a wooden mask of black and white grimaces from his subordinates, first showed his face among the officials, and then showed it in front of the commoner.

If Tang Jingyue had been present at this time, she would have recognized immediately that this mask was exactly the ghost mask that Tang Nuoxing wore that day!

"When the Princess Regent was in danger at Guo'an Temple, the mastermind used to wear this mask to cover her face. Following this very ordinary wooden mask, I found this artist who has inherited the art of painting and dyeing masks from his ancestors." Shao Ankang explained to everyone .

After all, he looked at the civilian man who painted the mask and asked, "This mask in my hands is from you?"

The civilian man was afraid that he would be involved in a life lawsuit, so he shook his head again and again: "No, it's not!"

"Don't worry, this case has nothing to do with you, it's just that the murderer bought your mask. If you tell the truth, you will be released immediately."

Shao Ankang's consolation was strongly instructive.The first is to directly identify the dead Tang Nuoxing as the murderer, and the second is to guide the peddler who bought the mask to confirm that the mask was bought from his stall.

But at such a tense moment, careless people would naturally not recognize the strangeness in Shao Ankang's words, but anxiously waited for the peddler's answer.

And the peddler did calm down a little under such suggestive words, and said very quickly: "This mask is made by a villain. The villain has always sold paper masks, and this wooden shell is just a temporary mask." Xing Xing did it, so there is only this one piece. The black and white ghost faces on it are the appearance of villains who are usually good at drawing."

"Then do you remember who this mask was sold to?"

"My villain remembers it! Because there is only this wooden mask, this villain remembers it very clearly. The person who bought this mask is the young master of the Tang family!"

At this point in the testimony of the witness, one of Tang Jili's civil servants suddenly laughed out loud, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.

After seeing Shao Ankang laugh wildly, with a tone of disdain and contempt, he said righteously: "Shao Shaoqing's interrogation is too arbitrary, isn't it? This man is what he says? Then I will call him from Futian City immediately. If the peddler of a hundred masks all said that the mask was painted by himself, and that the mask was bought by the Prince Regent, how should Shao Shaoqing judge?"
