The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 189 Ascension to Trial Case ([-])

Hua Niang was caught off guard by Lu Ji's sudden question, she pursed her lips and said: "The folk woman and Yu Qi have nothing to overcome, the folk woman has kept him in the building for many years, we If there is any conflict between them, it is nothing more than that he is still young, and he can't make a turn in his heart for a while, and women who work in love and moonlight for a living, have long been used to seeing such people."

"Really?" Lu Ji smiled resolutely, "Hua Niang, you are also from Qinzhou."

Instead of questions, he used affirmative sentences.

Hua Niang's face was stiff, pretending to be indifferent, "So what? It's no secret that women are not from the imperial capital."

Lu Jidao: "Nine years ago, a murder case in Qinzhou involved a corruption case in the south of the Yangtze River. Qi Tianyao, the chief culprit in Qinzhou, was sentenced to be the head of the nine clans. Now everyone thinks that Qi Tianyao is a huge corrupt person, but few people remember Qi Tianyao's first crime. When he served as the county lieutenant of Mixi County in Qinzhou, he was also a good official with a heart for the people."

Desire has always been provoked little by little, and Qi Tianyao could not resist the corruption of greed in the end.

"Mixi County was rebelled by bandits in the past, and a daughter of a family was taken captive. The county captain personally led people to rescue her. Unfortunately, the girl was not accepted by her family when she returned home. They thought she had lost her virginity, so they sent her to the house. She was expelled from the house. The girl who had nowhere to go later entered Fengyuechang. Ten years later, Qi Tianyao became the magistrate of Qinzhou, and was punished for being greedy for ink. Qi Tianyao's son, is it to repay his kindness?"

A story from the past was narrated, and Lu Ji glanced at Hua Niang meaningfully, "The year Taifu Yan was transferred back to the imperial capital, that man also sold all his properties in Qinzhou, and brought the son of an old man to the north, dormant. The imperial capital has endured humiliation for many years in order to seek a chance for revenge."

Lu Ji didn't specify who it was, but his eyes fell on Hua Niang.

A gleam of disbelief flashed in Hua Niang's eyes, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't expect that they would find out about this.

Aqi's body trembled almost invisibly, and when he looked at Lu Ji, the expression on his face was still innocent and kind, but his eyes became deep in an instant.

Hua Niang said sharply: "The folk woman is a person in the court of love and moon. Haven't you heard of 'a bitch is ruthless, an actor is not righteous'? The folk woman just bought this kid because she saw that he was a rare commodity to live in. Let's talk about the old days. It doesn't matter!"

In order to protect the savior, it is rare to degrade to such a degree.

"You guys have spent a lot of money for revenge." Lu Ji stopped looking at her, and shifted his gaze to Aqi, "The day Yan Qingchi was brought back to Shuntian Mansion, Fu Liao, the deputy doctor of the Imperial Hospital, checked her. I found that her pulse was abnormal, so I took her blood test, and found a very special fragrance in her body, a fragrance that can cause hallucinations, and I believe the illusions in my brain. Only people like the Green Bamboo Pavilion This kind of strange fragrance can only be obtained from places where guests come from south to north.

It was you, Qi Yu, who really killed Du Xi! "

Aqi looked up at Lu Ji, his eyes darkened, "My lord, the grass people don't understand. Even if the Mixiang you mentioned existed, the grass people were tied up at that time, how could they kill Master Du?"

"Wu Zuo, come and tell everyone the real cause of Du Xi's death."

Wu Zuo took out one of the corpses in his hand, and said, "Du Xi's skull showed signs of cracking, but it wasn't the cause of his death, he died of poisoning."

Aqi looked at Wuzuo and said softly, "Caomin just heard from Wuzuo that people who were burnt to death would have soot in their noses, and vice versa, but no matter whether the back of the head was smashed by a vase or died of poisoning, the body would all turn into ash." How did you tell if it was scorched black?"

Wu Zuo looked down at Aqi, "If you die from poisoning, the toxin will flow through the whole body with the blood and penetrate into the internal organs. Although the surface of the corpse has been burned, not every place is burnt like charcoal, and it can be identified only by autopsy. When Du Xi's body was excavated, his hands were still holding his throat tightly, which was very different from the fighting corpses burned to death in general fire scenes.

After the villain's autopsy, it was found that his throat and lungs had the heaviest accumulation of toxins, and he should have inhaled the suffocating poison.As for the scars on the skull, they were smashed out with a vase after death.The earlier statement that there was blood all over the room at the scene is untenable. "

Wu Zuo's conclusion is tantamount to concluding that someone killed someone, and then poisoned Qingchi, making her mistakenly believe that she was the real murderer, and then someone contributed to the fire, causing the fire.

Ever since Huaniang's life experience was revealed, Qingchi has not opened her mouth. Now she is looking at Aqi quietly with a complicated expression.

From just now, she had some blurred pictures in her mind, but after listening to Wu Zuo's analysis, these pictures gradually became clear.She didn't know which of the scenes in her mind had actually happened and which were illusions.

Aware of her gaze, Aqi pursed his lips and turned his face away.

But Qingchi said softly: "Aqi, all of this was planned by you, just to put me to death, so as to take revenge on my father?"

A trace of cruelty suddenly flashed across Hua Niang's face, "It's all you woman, why are you so lucky, everyone is helping you, even God is helping you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her right hand high, a cold light flashed in her sleeve, and she actually hid a dagger in the sleeve.

"go to hell!"

The dagger in Hua Niang's hand had already stabbed towards Qingchi, because the two were kneeling next to each other, when Qingchi realized what she was going to do, it was too late to dodge.

The people present were also taken aback by this sudden change, but just this moment of hesitation made it impossible to rescue them.

"Qingchi!" Lu Ji jumped up from his seat and quickly rushed towards Qingchi, but he is a person who doesn't know martial arts, how can he catch up in time, when his hand is still a step away from Qingchi.

There was a muffled sound of "噗嗤", and the sharp blade sank into the flesh and blood.

"Aqi!" Qingchi opened his eyes wide, looking at the young man who stepped forward at the critical moment to take the fatal blow of the flower girl for her. Now the dagger is being stuck in Aqi's chest, and the blood is constantly oozing Soon the front of his shirt was stained red.

Lu Ji stopped a step in front of them, silently withdrew his outstretched hand, and looked at them quietly.

The young man's thin and thin body was leaning weakly in Qingchi's arms, Qingchi looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Aren't you going to take revenge on me?"

Aqi lay in her arms, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't answer Qingchi's question.

"It would be great if you were really my sister."

He originally had an older sister, but unfortunately, her older sister was much older than him, and she died in that disaster.

Even he himself couldn't say why he blocked the knife for Qingchi, maybe it was because of her firmness when she defended him at that time, or maybe it was because of Yan's family who spent a month together day and night, and she treated him like a brother, that's no big deal. The grumpy smile, he was extremely disdainful at the time, but now...

Waves of cold came, life was draining bit by bit, Qingchi noticed that he was shivering, and hugged him tighter, "I also hope that you are my brother."

Back then, her father committed a dangerous crime alone. In order to investigate the Jiangnan corruption case, corrupt officials headed by Qi Tianyao arrested her younger brother, trying to threaten Yan Zhenglang to stop.But Yan Zhenglang was originally a resolute and unyielding person, so he handed over the account books to the imperial court.

The first emperor cleaned Jiangnan's officialdom, but her younger brother never came back, leaving no bones left.

For this reason, her father felt guilty, and after returning to the imperial capital, he declined the empress's appointment as a nobleman, and only worked as an unknown official in the Imperial Academy.

It was the Qi family's injustice, Yan Zhenglang was just doing things impartially, and her Yan family never owed him a cent from the beginning to the end.

Aqi struggled to turn his head to look at Huaniang, "Aunt Hua, I have been taken care of by you a lot these years. It was only my duty to save you when my father saved you. You have done too much for me. Success and failure Cole, I have nothing to say."

Hua Niang has been held up by the yamen servant at this moment, she is struggling crazily, trying to get closer to Ah Qi, "Yu'er!"

Their layout was flawless, but it was a pity that they miscalculated Lu Ji, the young governor, and those people who worked quietly behind the scenes.If it wasn't for obsession, how could he be so observant!

Aqi's eyes met Lu Ji, and he twitched the corners of his lips, "Sister Qing, I envy you very much, you have so many friends who are dedicated to you. If there is an afterlife, I hope we can be friends."

If Qi Tianyao was not greedy and Yan Zhenglang moved his family to Qinzhou, they would get to know each other and become friends...

Thinking of this, Aqi seemed to have an illusion in front of his eyes, after all, he was no match for the heavier eyelids, and closed his eyes forever.

Qingchi tremblingly went to check his breath, but he was already dead.She closed her eyes, and two lines of tears ran down her cheeks.

"Yu'er!" Seeing that Ah Qi was dead, Hua Niang suddenly exerted her strength, broke free from the bondage of the yamen servant, and rushed to Ah Qi's side, grabbed his hand, and snatched him from Qingchi's arms, "You child, Why are you so stupid!"

Qingchi looked at the empty arms, and his eyes were filled with the innocent appearance of Aqi when he got along with her in Yan Mansion.

He saved her life at a critical moment, which shows that he still has kind thoughts in his heart.

Lu Ji was afraid that Huaniang would be unfavorable to Qingchi again, so he hurried to Qingchi's side, helped her up, gently embraced her shoulders, and said to the yamen servant in a deep voice: "What are you still doing, take her down!"

Hua Niang raised her head suddenly, tears had washed away the makeup on her face, making her look hideous.She pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and stabbed it into her own neck without hesitation.

Qi Yu is dead, and she can't escape, she is dead anyway, it is better to kill herself.

Looking at the two corpses lying prostrate in the courtroom, no matter whether it was in the hall or outside the hall, they could not speak for a long time.

The deceased was already dead, and it was really unexpected that this murder case would end in such a way.

Ning Yuezhao, who had silently listened to the entire court trial in the back hall, also sighed, "Jiang Nian, I suddenly feel that it is too cruel to even sit."

Didn't Jiang Nian have experienced the whole family beheaded and imprisoned the nine clans, and he knows the pain well.If the time is right one day, he also hopes to abolish this cruel system.

He gently took her hand, and looked at the front lobby with deep eyes, "I always feel that things are not so simple this time."
