Married three times as a concubine, the prince is playing tricks

Chapter 275 How is it possible? 1
After saying that, Tang Rong straightened up, then turned around and brought over a broken piece of a porcelain bowl that was placed next to him
"My lord, my concubine and all your lords, please take a look, this is the murder weapon! The villain has compared it, and it is really good!"

Tang Rong said respectfully. Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the fragment. After Mu Jingnian said a few words to Tang Rong, he returned to the front hall with everyone.

Red Scorpion is dead, suicide!

Facing the news, the officials of the Ministry of Punishments couldn't help but look a little embarrassed!After all, the most important criminal in the dynasty committed suicide before being taken to prison by the emperor's orders.Therefore, it is conceivable that even if Emperor Jianyuan did not blame him, for the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice, this is not a glorious thing!

Therefore, when they returned to the front hall, although Mu Jingnian and Shen Lingbo were present, the officials still looked gloomy.As for being here, after some simple polite words, the huge front hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice suddenly became quiet!

No one said anything, even the old man of the Shen family didn't know what to say!Seeing this situation, Shen Lingbo and Mu Jingnian who were sitting next to each other couldn't help but look at each other, and then saw Mu Jingnian suddenly smiled, and then said slowly:

"I really didn't expect such a thing to happen! I think the red scorpion must also know that he is doomed, so he is like this!"

Opening his mouth to break the silence, Mu Jingnian's words slightly eased the surrounding atmosphere.And waiting for Mu Jingnian's voice to fall, Shen Lingbo next to him couldn't help but sighed, and then said:
"That's right! I really didn't expect that! Yesterday, my concubine went to see the Red Scorpion in the prison, and she even pretended to tell her because she was afraid that the Red Scorpion would use the Liu family's hidden treasure as a bargaining chip to let the outsiders save her. , The thing has been found, and then she thought that she would not play any tricks anymore, and at the same time, she could take this opportunity to find the thing, and if she couldn't find it, she would make a fuss about the red scorpion...but I don't want to, that Red Scorpion actually chose to commit suicide after knowing that the thing was found..."

When he opened his mouth lightly, a look of helplessness appeared on Shen Lingbo's face.But at this time, upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they couldn't help expressing their disbelief.

"Uh... So, the princess went to see the red scorpion in the prison yesterday to tell her that the calligraphy and paintings hidden by her had been found! But in fact, the princess did not find the calligraphy and paintings...?"

The person who spoke first was Shen Lingbo, who was official A of the Ministry of Punishment who received her yesterday.But at this time, upon hearing these words, Shen Lingbo immediately nodded slightly

"Yes, that's exactly the case. Back then, my princess was also afraid that the red scorpion would jump over the wall in a hurry. Relying on knowing where she hid her things, she tricked and let out rumors, and then attracted people from the rivers and lakes to rescue her! After all, this person died for money. Birds die for food. Since the red scorpion was able to kill dozens of members of the Liu family in Jincheng for those calligraphy and paintings, and then even perfidiously kill his companions, then of course some people will take risks for those calligraphy and paintings now. The concubine thinks that she has to guard against it! At least in the first period of time, it is better to find the things first, and if you really can't find them at that time, go to the red scorpion to force them!"

With such words, Shen Lingbo's face was neither red nor out of breath!Hearing this, official A of the Ministry of Punishment nodded suddenly.

"Oh...so that's the case, yes, yes, yes! The princess expected it well, it should be so! It should be so! I think the lower official has also been in the Ministry of punishment for some years, and there are indeed all kinds of people in the Jianghu! Some are arrogant, and some are full of blood for money, so just like what the princess said just now, people die for money, and birds die for food. Back then, the red scorpion could annihilate humanity just to snatch those calligraphy and paintings, so now there will naturally be people Those few calligraphy and paintings, boldly broke into the prison, and rescued the red scorpion, just to ask her where the hidden thing is!"

Obviously, Official A expressed understanding and agreement with Shen Lingbo's remarks.As soon as Official A said this, other officials present also agreed.Immediately, Official B sitting next to Official A also responded.
"Well, that's true! The officer also agrees with Wang Hao's opinion! It's just that the red scorpion chose to commit suicide after knowing that the thing had been found. But he didn't want to. The thing actually It was never found on the Internet! And now that the red scorpion is dead, no one knows where it is hidden, so it can only be luck..."

Official B was talking, but just as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and then turned to look at Xu Hengli, the head of the criminal department, who was sitting in the corner of the room
"So, according to this, Master Xu went to the prison with the princess yesterday, that is to say, Master Xu already knew about the fact that the princess and the red scorpion said that they had found something?"

"Yes, I did know about it yesterday, it's just..."

In fact, in the final analysis, that official B didn't mean anything else.But it made people sound like it, but they couldn't help but feel that they were accusing Xu Hengli, since he knew about it yesterday, why didn't he say it!Therefore, after replying first, Xu Hengli didn't say anything more, but looked at Shen Lingbo hesitantly.
Seeing this situation, Shen Lingbo naturally wouldn't dodge!Immediately without waiting for Xu Hengli to finish speaking, he responded:
"Hehe, this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Xu! It was my concubine who told Mrs. Xu not to talk about it yesterday! Of course, my concubine's intention is not to say that everyone present cannot be trusted, but I just think that the less people know about this matter, the better! So please adults here don't mind!"

Shen Lingbo's words are always beautiful!But at this time, once she said this, let alone not saying that she didn't mind, even if she really minded, it was hard to say anything, so everyone immediately spoke out!

Afterwards, Shen Lingbo and Mu Jingnian told everyone about the Red Scorpion case, and then everyone went down, and in the blink of an eye, there were only the Shen family father and daughter and Mu Jingnian left in the front hall.

And it was only at this moment that the old man of the Shen family pursed his lower lip slightly when he saw that everyone had gone out, then turned his head to look at his daughter and asked:
"Ling Bo, tell Dad the truth, what do you think about the Red Scorpion?"

The old man of the Shen family knows Shen Lingbo's temperament to some extent.Just now, in front of everyone, I saw Shen Lingbo responding with ease, but the old man of the Shen family knew in his heart that it was hard to say what the truth was!

But at this time, upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo turned his head and smiled slightly at his father.

"How does dad feel about this?"

"Hey! I'm not sure about this!"

Sighing slightly, the old man of the Shen family raised his hand and stroked his beard
"I don't know exactly what the temperament of this red scorpion is. But yesterday afternoon, I took the time to look in the prison. Although the red scorpion didn't talk to me, I can see that the red scorpion is also very angry. You, but you didn't see that she had any suicidal tendencies at all! But Ling Bo, you also heard what the old servant Tang Rong said just now, but there is nothing suspicious... So, it is also embarrassing!"

It has to be said that, as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the old man of the Shen family has been in the officialdom for decades, and he is indeed of a certain level!At least in some cases, he has the keenest intuition!This is like an old criminal policeman in modern times, with many years of experience, he has developed the most sensitive sixth sense.As a result, at this moment, although the old man of the Shen family couldn't tell what was wrong, he just felt that there was something wrong with it!

Therefore, hearing what his father said, Shen Lingbo couldn't help but raised his eyebrows in surprise, then turned his head and looked at Mu Jingnian tacitly.Then he turned his eyes back to his father and said:

"Father really wants to hear Ling Bo's opinion?"

"Of course! It's not just yours, it just so happens that the prince is here now, and the old man also wants to hear the prince's opinion!"

Mu Jingnian is his son-in-law, so of course the old man of the Shen family can trust him!Upon hearing this, Mu Jingnian smiled gently

"Hehe, Master Shangshu is serious! Since Master Shangshu said so, I just said a few words casually... Actually, when I got the news about the red scorpion this morning, I was also very shocked! And just now Listening to Mr. Tang's words, the red scorpion's suicide is indeed reasonable and there is no doubt about it! But even so, there are still a few things I don't understand..."

"Oh? What does the prince say?"

"It's actually very simple! Then Mr. Tang's judgment should not be false, but there is a problem! That is, Mr. Tang said that the murder weapon was a broken porcelain bowl, and the wound marks were compared! Then, may I ask?" Where did the fragments of the porcelain bowl come from? And if the fragments of the porcelain bowl were secretly left behind by the red scorpion when the jailer delivered the food last night, then she must have left a complete bowl at that time, and since If the red scorpion wants to commit suicide by cutting her wrist with the pieces of the porcelain bowl, then she will definitely break the porcelain bowl, but in this way, it will definitely make a noise. Because before being taken to the prison of the Ministry of punishment, the red scorpion The king's personal bodyguard, Jun, was seriously injured, and his martial arts were abolished. Then, Lord Shangshu, imagine, how can a woman who is seriously injured and has no martial arts break the porcelain bowl without making a sound?"

"Therefore, the first thing to check now is who gave the meal to Red Scorpion last night, and whether the porcelain bowl at that time matches the fragments that are now used as murder weapons! If they match, where are the remaining fragments? In the night Has anyone heard the sound of the porcelain bowl being broken again, and only after all the investigations are completed and there are no problems, can it be determined whether the red scorpion committed suicide or not!"

Mu Jingnian seldom made long speeches in front of other people!So much so that in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an idle prince who doesn't care about world affairs!Therefore, one can imagine how dumbfounded the old man of the Shen family was when Mu Jingnian told a precise reasoning to the old man of the Shen family!
However, although he was a little shocked, the old man of the Shen family has always been a man who has been in the officialdom for decades, so after a brief surprise, he couldn't help but praise
"Yes! What the prince said is very true! It really awakened the dreamer with one word, I admire, admire!"

The old man of the Shen family has always been hot-tempered, but there are really not many people who let him say he admires it.And seeing his father's attitude of holding a certain fox up to the sky, Shen Lingbo who was sitting next to him couldn't help but pouted, and then couldn't help but interjected:
"Okay, Dad! Don't praise him! Dad just didn't think about it for a while, otherwise, because Dad has been in the criminal department for so long and solved so many cases, he will find out soon! So, Dad You don't need to praise him at all, he just said something earlier!"

Shen Lingbo complained beside him, and upon hearing this, Mu Jingnian laughed lightly, but then he followed Shen Lingbo's words and said:
"Hehe, Ling'er is right! Lord Shangshu, I really just said something earlier, Lord Shangshu, don't mention it too much!"
