Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 21
Luo Ning listened and looked through Wei Yan's records, which were very detailed.

Everyone described their whereabouts on that day in as much detail as possible, and recorded when they came into contact with horse racing.

Qin Zhao spoke for a long time:
"...I walked out of the stable and took the black horse that Yang Fan handed over. It was completely black. I liked it very much. When I mounted the horse, I accidentally kicked Zhang Yang. I was joking. Don't look at his first victory. I got a good horse today. I won’t lose to him…”

"After I got on the horse, I walked through the stables and walked out to the arena. When I turned around, I saw Liu Shan leaving the stables..."

"Master Qin, wait a minute, it says Zhang Yang is in the first scene. Why does he appear in the stable at this time?"

Luo Ning interrupted Qin Zhao and pointed to the order of appearance on the scroll!

The three people came over quickly and took a look, all looking at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said with certainty: "He is indeed here!"

Luo Ning quickly pulled out Wei Yan's interview record and turned to Zhang Yang's page. Luo Ning used his fingers to read in a row, one word at a time!
This paragraph is not included in his interview record! !

In Wei Yan's record sheet, Zhang Yang clearly stated that when he led the horse, he walked out of the stable. When the game was over, he returned to the stands!

"Zhang Yang is lying!"

The four people said in unison, now they saw a little glimmer of light in the case.

"So who is this Yang? Why did he lie?"

Qin Zhao knew Zhang Yang and said to Luo Ning: "He is the director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War. He often races horses and competes with us on weekdays. I don't know what grudge he has with Liu Shan, but he wants to kill him?"

"Regardless of whether Zhang Yang is the murderer or not, the question now is how did he attack the horse race? If Zhang Yang denies that he ever appeared, like now, he can say that he has made a mistake."

Luo Ning's words poured cold water on everyone and revealed the key to the case.

"Sir, why don't we just capture him!" Meng Xiao suggested.

"No, what if he doesn't admit that he has been in contact with horse racing? Or, if he says that Mr. Qin remembers it wrong, how can we respond?"

Three people are distressed.

Luo Ning thought about it, and came up with an idea: "However, we can try, there is a way, since...we just..."

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao visited the princess mansion again. Zhao Xiang'er came out to entertain guests today, but her attitude was still lukewarm!

Luo Ning stood politely in the reception room of the princess mansion and said to Zhao Xiang'er:

"The lower official has almost finished the investigation of the Prince Consort's case. Mr. Qin of Jin Yiwei has also arrested the suspect and hasn't interrogated him yet. So this time, I want to know through the princess whether the Prince Consort has any conflict with the suspect? During the trial, we also A lot more confidence.”

When Zhao Xiang'er heard that someone had been arrested, she looked at Luo Ning: "Who is it? Tell me!"

"It's Zhang Yang, director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War!"

Luo Ning stared at Zhao Xiang'er carefully. Sure enough, when she heard the name, she froze, and her hands holding the chair beam couldn't help trembling.

"Princess, I would like to know if there is any dispute between the consort and Zhang Yang? Is there any reason why Zhang Yang must kill the consort?"

Zhao Xiang'er's expression changed drastically. Chu Chu behind her heard this and quickly supported Zhao Xiang'er and shouted to Luo Ning:
"Sir, don't ask, Master Luo, Master Zhang will never kill the consort!"

"He was the one who killed him. All the witnesses and physical evidence are there...Zhang Yang has been arrested and taken to Dali Temple Prison!" Luo Ning suddenly spoke fiercely.

Zhao Xiang'er looked back at Chu Chu, feeling at a loss. After struggling several times, she still couldn't control herself and shouted to Luo Ning:

"No...no...Master Zhang didn't do anything, it's all my fault!"

Zhao Xiang'er leaned forward and fell into Chu Chu's arms, sobbing loudly.

Luo Ning glanced at Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao turned around and walked out.

Walking lightly to Zhao Xiang'er, Luo Ning bent down: "Princess, Zhang Yang has been taken to Dali Temple. If you know what happened, please invite the princess..."

"No..." Zhao Xiang'er interrupted Luo Ning: "Master Luo, please let him go. I will beg my father to ensure that nothing happens to him."

Zhao Xiang'er covered her chest with one hand and pulled Luo Ning's sleeve with the other. She was in pain: "Lord Luo, please let him go. I will bear everything. He... nothing can happen to him... He is the father of my child!"

Luo Ning was instantly petrified. Chu Chu heard it and held back her grief!

how so!
Zhang Yang and the eldest princess were sent to the imperial study!
Zhao Ziyin looked at Zhao Xiang'er who was kneeling there. He stretched out his hand several times to scold her, but when he thought of the child in her belly, he put it down again.

"Bastard, what a bastard!" A stack of memorials was thrown at Zhang Yang's head, and Zhang Yang was tightly protected by Zhao Xiang'er.

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao didn't dare to say anything. If Zhao Xiang'er and Zhang Yang were crazy men and resentful women, what about Liu Shan?What mistake did he make again?Finally died?
"Tell me, how did you harm Liu Shan? How do you want me to explain it to General Hussar?" Zhao Ziyin couldn't help but get angry at Zhang Yang.

"I am guilty. It has nothing to do with the princess. I am responsible for everything. Please bear in mind that the princess is pregnant and let her go!"

"You...when did you..." Zhao Ziyin gritted his teeth in anger and his lips trembled.

Zhao Xiang'er knelt on the ground and cried to Zhao Ziyin:
"Father, after I got married to Liu Shan, I realized that we were not suitable for each other. I wish my daughter had gone her own way and insisted on asking father to marry her, thus ruining Liu Shan's future. He has never loved his daughter!"

Zhao Ziyin looked at Zhao Xiang'er and felt a sense of sadness.

"Back then, it was you... ugh." Zhao Ziyin fell into his chair and sighed.

"Father, Liu Shan met a woman a year ago. The two were very affectionate and affectionate, and the daughter was heartbroken. Later, she met Mr. Zhang by chance. He was extremely caring to his daughter. It was the first time that her daughter realized that she was loved by someone. I was so happy until a few days ago, my daughter found out she was pregnant!"

Zhang Yang took the words: "Your Majesty, the princess is pregnant and it is not appropriate to be emotional. Let me say it!"

After saying that, Zhang Yang stood up and carefully helped Zhao Xiang'er up and let her sit on the chair.

He returned to the middle of the royal study and knelt down again:

"Because Liu Shan and the princess have been separated for a long time, the princess's pregnancy has become a problem. According to Zhao's national law, the princess cannot be separated. If Liu Shan makes a fuss and makes this matter public, then the princess... So I came up with it He made a bad move and created the illusion that the prince-in-law had an accident..."

"How cruel. Liu Shan has been depressed since his marriage. I can't bear to see him. Xiang'er, you actually... What do you want your father to say about you? If you tell me, there will definitely be a solution. , why do you want to kill him..."

Zhao Ziyin felt distressed and patted the chair, not knowing what to say.

Qin Zhao was silent, and Luo Ning also felt unreasonable. Human life, how could it be so vulnerable in the face of reputation?
"I was also there that day. How did you let the horse race have an accident?" Zhao Ziyin asked sadly, while also expressing the doubts of Luo Ning and Qin Zhao.

Zhang Yang lowered his head: "I am the Director of Ordnance. The Ministry of War stores various hidden weapons and weapons sent as tribute from outsiders. There is a water bag needle that caught my attention."

When Luo Ning heard about the water bag, he remembered Liu Shan's autopsy report. Dong Wuzuo had recorded it at the time, and he especially emphasized that Liu Shan's legs and trousers were soaked!

Zhang Yang looked ashamed and said in a low voice: "I have a very good relationship with Yang Fan, the director of the Driving Department of the Ministry of War. Director Yang Fan has a habit of horse racing. Each person has a horse, and the horse racing of the consort is fixed every time."

Qin Zhao was thankful that Yang Fan had brought him the dark horse that day, and Liu Shan had not changed his mind temporarily, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"The second team of Prince Consort came out. I prepared everything. When I walked out of the stable, I passed by Mr. Qin, but at that time, he was about to rush out of the stable. I didn't think anyone would find out that there was anything wrong with the horse racing, so , even if Mr. Qin finds me, I will just say that I forgot, and it will not be a big problem."

"I hung the water bag in the saddle. The water bag has pressure. When the prince-in-law is on the horse, I am ready. When he runs out of the stable, I just need to squeeze the horse's belly with my legs. After a few times, the water bag will burst under pressure!"

Qin Zhao heard this, which was unheard of. His martial arts were the best in the Zhao Kingdom, and he was also exposed to various hidden weapons on daily basis. He never expected that such a high-quality weapon could be used by Zhang Yang to kill people!
"After the water bag bursts, the needle is so thin that it will quickly pierce the horse's belly under pressure. It is also under the saddle, and most people can't see any marks!"

Luo Ning suddenly realized that this was the reason why there were water stains on the body of the racehorse after it died. It was really unexpected!

Zhao Ziyin put his hands on his forehead and remained silent for a long time. When he raised his head, he looked troubled:

"Lord Luo and Qin Zhao, please step back! The prince-in-law Liu Shan... has been found to have died accidentally during a horse race. Let's... close the case."

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao silently walked out of the imperial study. They looked at each other speechlessly with heavy hearts.

Luo Ning remembered a sentence: Dali Temple promotes emotions and rules. Stepping out of Dali Temple is the country and the country.

From now on, the two of them will keep this secret together!
Yang Fan walked out of Jinyiwei Private Prison, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and took a deep breath:

"Ah, it feels so good to have sunshine!"

Then he clasped his fists at Qin Zhao and Luo Ning: "The fate between people is really wonderful. Miss Luo has worked hard these days. I will host you and Master Qin some other time!"

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "It's okay, Mr. Luo is not suitable for blind dates. You can still be friends from now on."

Luo Ning was so angry that he bit his lip, this annoying commander!

Yang Fan watched the two interacting with a smile and waved goodbye.

On the second day, Zhao Keer rushed to Dali Temple in a hurry. Before he could enter the door, he shouted at Luo Ning: "What's going on? Why was Liu Shan an accident?"

Luo Ning smiled and poked her with his hand: "You! Is the accident strange?"

Zhao Ke'er said with a bitter face: "It's not surprising. Zhao Xiang'er was hit hard and went to the Royal Courtyard early today. My father said that she was too heartbroken and would not enter Anyang City in the future, and we would not be allowed to visit her. , so miserable! So, in the future, it is better not to ask for marriage from my father!"

Luo Ning was not surprised by the emperor's decision, but compared to Zhao Keer, Luo Ning wanted to know Zhang Yang's outcome more.

In the afternoon, Qin Zhao came to Dali Temple and brought news about Zhang Yang. The Ministry of War adjusted the personnel allocation and Zhang Yang was stationed at Tianfeng Pass. He was not allowed to enter Anyang City without being summoned.

Luo Ning thought to himself: Tianfeng Pass, a small town on the northernmost border of Zhao State, is subject to wind and sand all year round. He will spend the rest of his life in this flying sand.

Yes!

　The ending of "The Case of the Prince Consort" shows that love cannot be achieved, one's own selfish desires harm others and oneself. On the road of love, it is better to be happy with each other than wishful thinking. Letting others go is also fulfilling one's own.The fourth story "Love and Sorrow"
