pungent peasant girl

Chapter 503 Evidence
Wei Mingru hastily read the confession, "Where are those women?"

"The little one has been taken outside the palace."

"Call them in."

Wei Mingru said, "Bring Wei Xian's portrait again."

After a while, the women arrived and the portraits were brought out.

These women have never entered the palace in their life, and when they entered, they all trembled and knelt on the ground.

"Where are you from?" Wei Mingru asked.

"County, county city—"

Listening to their accents, they are indeed from the county.

"You used to serve the First Prince?"

"Yes, yes."

Wei Mingru waved his hand, and the chief eunuch showed them the portrait.

"Look, do you know the people above?"

Wei Mingru's question was clever.

He didn't say that this was Wei Xian.

The women looked and looked, shaking their heads one after another.

"do not know."

"Don't know?" Wei Zhi said from the side: "You guys have a better look."

"I really don't know." The women were still trembling.

At this time, Luo Ziyan said: "Father, Second Brother, if you still don't believe me, you can still take out their household registration and sell their deeds, etc., to see if it is a woman who went out from the house in the former county."

Wei Mingru waved his hand, "Let these women go down first."

Since Luo Ziyan dared to bring these women out, it proved that he had already made up his mind.

The women were led down.

Wei Mingru's eyes became serious, he looked at Luo Ziyan, "What else did you find?"

"I also sent people to the military camp on the border of Mongolia to investigate. Although I have no way to prove that my elder brother did not touch the military pay, I can prove that my elder brother was drunk in the barracks on the day when he delivered the military pay. Therefore, Regarding the issue of military pay, it is still doubtful and needs to be investigated further."

Wei Mingru nodded.

Luo Ziyan secretly looked at Wei Zhi.

Wei Zhi seemed to be relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Ziyan pulled out Meng Qianyan, "However, we have other discoveries."

"You said."

Wei Mingru nodded, and Meng Qianyan unfolded all the packages he brought.

It was full of paints and scrolls, and a letter was there too.

"What are these?" Wei Mingru asked in surprise.

"It's the paint for painting." Meng Qianyan smiled, gentle and decent, "Father, please listen to my son to explain to you patiently."

"That's right. The Fourth Highness heard that the reason why Eldest Brother was imprisoned was because a large amount of gold was found in the warehouse of the First Prince's Mansion. After the First Prince was imprisoned, there was no other person in the First Prince's Mansion except the gatekeeper. people."

Wei Mingru nodded, "As far as I know, it's true."

"To tell you the truth, the ministers once secretly entered the warehouse in the mansion of the eldest prince. The ministers found that although the eldest prince had not returned for a year, the warehouse was not so old. On the contrary, there were traces of someone entering. Be wise and sprinkle fine sand and dust on the box."

"What does this mean?" Wei Mingru listened and asked seriously.

"It means that there are still people coming and going in and out of the warehouse. Isn't this too strange. So we continued to investigate, and we found that the First Prince had two very trustworthy people before he was detained."

While talking, Meng Qianyan picked up the letter.

"These two people, one is Yu Miao, and the other is Feng Ruhai. After the first prince was imprisoned, Yu Miao was sent to Huanyi Fang, while Feng Ruhai went back to his hometown."

Wei Zhi was listening, "Hehe, fourth sibling, what are you talking about, it's normal for the case to have unclear explanations, as long as there are witnesses and material evidence, that's enough."

"You let her go on—"

It was Wei Mingru who interrupted Wei Zhi.

"Hehe, that's right, that's right, the fourth sibling continued, I also hope that our elder brother is innocent."

Meng Qianyan continued: "Afterwards, His Royal Highness sent someone to look for Yu Miao and Feng Ruhai. Yu Miao was found, but Feng Ruhai is no longer there."

She opened the letter in her hand, "This is the letter, it was left by Feng Ruhai before he died."

Wei Mingru took it over and read it again, "It's just saying goodbye and giving thanks, nothing special."

"No." Luo Ziyan interrupted, "Father, look at the last time of the letter. At this time, elder brother has been imprisoned for almost a year, and Feng Ruhai's letter could not be delivered to elder brother at all. Why should he write it? So, this letter is not that simple."

"That is--"

"Qianyan, show your father." Luo Ziyan said.

Meng Qianyan nodded, opened his notebook, and took two kinds of paints and mixed them together.

Finally, these paints were applied to the letters.

Just watched the handwriting on the letter slowly recede and reappear.

It is a completely different word.

Wei Zhi's expression changed, and as soon as he raised his hand, a tea Gu was knocked over by him.

"Ah—" Wei Zhi held down his hand, and blood flowed out.

"What's the matter? Second child."

"Father, my son is injured."

"Hey, come here, send an imperial doctor to bandage him."

"No, I will go and bandage myself, I will return as soon as I go."

Wei Zhi strode out.

Wei Mingru picked up the "new letter" and read it.

The words are like faces, and the old slave is like the sea and kowtows to His Highness.I don't know where His Highness is, and I don't know if His Highness will still see this letter.The old slave has no face to face His Highness, the old slave is ashamed of His Highness, and the old slave has betrayed His Highness.But the old slave didn't mean it, the old slave really couldn't help himself.After His Highness entered the palace, someone secretly found Lao Nu and asked Lao Nu to put a lot of gold in the warehouse.The old slave didn't know what the gold was used for, but the old slave knew that it would be bad for His Highness.

The old slave struggled inwardly, not wanting to betray His Highness.But the old slaves and eunuchs have no descendants.The only descendant is the nephew of the old slave.Those people threatened the lives of the old slave's nephew and his family, and the old slave had no choice but to obey.

After His Royal Highness was imprisoned, the old slave returned to his hometown, having trouble sleeping and eating, worrying day and night, and hearing that His Highness was condemned by the emperor, the old slave was ashamed.The old slave wanted to prove His Highness's innocence, but many people around stared at the old slave, and even poisoned the old slave.

The old slave had no choice but to write a letter to His Highness before he died, hoping that His Highness would have a chance to read the old slave's letter.

The old slave was forced, and the person who forced the old slave to frame His Highness was Lord Wu Lanchao.The old slave didn't have much evidence, but Wu Lanchao gave the old slave a little jade, which the old slave buried in the backyard of his home, and His Highness can find it to prove it.

The old slave thanked His Highness for his kindness over the years. The old slave said goodbye and never saw each other again, and hoped that His Highness could stay away from worries and live a stable life.

After Wei Mingru finished reading, his face became more and more serious.

He handed the letter to Luo Ziyan.

"Come on, pass on Wu Lanchao!"

Wei Mingru's will was conveyed. At this time, Wei Zhi also came back. He saw Wei Mingru's gloomy and angry face, but he was not facing Luo Ziyan.

He hurriedly said: "Father, fourth brother, did you find something?"

Luo Ziyan handed over the letter and said calmly, "Brother was framed."
