Chapter 272 madman
Most of the officials present were people with families, and even among those who did not have families, there were many who had experienced sex with men and women.Although they just had a quick glimpse of Shi Wanyao's devastated appearance out of the mentality of "see no evil", they were still deeply impressed.

Jiang Nian is a man, and everyone has seen his naked upper body just now. Except for those old scars, there is no ambiguous trace on his body.

When Ning Yuezhao came in and saw Jiang Nian, she already understood everything.She slept with Jiang Daye, how could she not know that if such an intense affair had happened, the man would also leave marks on his body?

Ning Ziyi suddenly changed his previous attitude of calling for Jiang Nian to be severely punished, presumably because he was afraid that people would find out this, so he wanted to take Shi Wanyao's body back to the south of the Yangtze River, and use his words to control others.

Fu Yuandao: "The concubine's nails have bloodstains and flakes of flesh, which should be left by the murderer when he did that beast, so there must be scratches on the concubine's body."

Jiang Nian immediately took off his robes, and all the female officials present turned their faces away, not daring to look at him. Except for the scar left by Yuquan Mountain, the rest of his skin was fair and smooth.

In this way, the theory that Jiang Nian is a murderer is self-defeating.

Seeing these scars, the people present couldn't help but think of the tragedy of the Yuquan Mountain incident, and how amazing and talented Jiang Nian was. No matter how anxious they were, it was impossible for them to choose Shi Wanyao, let alone during the Qianqiu Festival. At this juncture, the Great Wall has self-destructed.

Ning Ziyi knelt down towards Ning Yuezhao, "The minister was in a state of confusion just now, and his words were inappropriate, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Ning Yuezhao raised her hand and said, "Get up, the concubine Shizi is my royal clan after all, I will definitely find out the murderer and give her justice."

After finishing speaking, she cast her eyes on Jiang Nian, signaling to leave everything to him.

Feeling her gaze, even though it was just an ordinary glance, was enough to warm Jiang Nian's heart.While fastening his belt, he said: "According to the imperial physician's order, the murderer is a person with scars on his body. The imperial army has sealed off the Xingqing Palace. Gu believes that he must still be in the palace."

Xu Zhidao: "Your Highness, you don't want all the officials to take off their clothes for verification, do you? There are hundreds of princes and ministers who came to the banquet today. Do you want to check them one by one? Not including the guards in this palace."

At this moment, there were only a few officials gathered in the side hall, and the outside of the hall was densely packed with people.

Yan Zhenglang said: "Why not, His Royal Highness has already undressed, can't our servants inspect it?"

Xu Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, "Then let the master take the lead."

Yan Zhenglang is the empress's tutor, so Xu Zhi's words were insulting to him.

Jiang Nian signaled Yan Zhenglang not to move, and he said, "It's not necessary to go through so much trouble, just check the people who have left after the imperial concubine left."

After saying this, Jiang Nian looked directly at Dong Yunrui, "Let's start with Dong Shangshu."

Everyone knows that Dong Yunrui was promoted by Jiang Nian, and Qin Suqian, the former minister of rites, was dismissed because he was involved in the Chunwei fraud case. Although Dong Yunrui was unusable, under the circumstances at that time, there was no more suitable candidate except him as the minister. .

Like Dong Yunrui, there are still many officials who left after Shi Wanyao, but no one thought that Jiang Nian would start with the people he promoted.

Dong Yunrui suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention again. Facing the two imperial doctors walking towards him, he clenched his clothes tightly and said with a stiff smile: "Your Highness, I have recently hired a new concubine. , I was too involved last night, so..."

Halfway through his speech, he bowed his head in embarrassment.Hearing this, the officials present could not help but hide their mouths and snicker.

Jiang Nian said calmly: "It's been more than ten hours since last night, no matter how enthusiastic Dong Shangshu's concubine's room is, surely those wounds won't be the same as the ones just now?"

As Jiang Nian finished speaking, two imperial doctors had already stood in front of Dong Yunrui.

Dong Yunrui clutched his skirt, his face paled instantly, and he took a step back subconsciously.

At this time, the imperial guards who had just gone to search the palace had already returned.

"Commander Qi, this subordinate has already searched the whole palace. There is indeed a set of royal husband's robes in Xingqing Palace, but the subordinates and others found some ashes with lingering warmth in the grass of Nanxun Palace. Should be the ashes of clothing."

After speaking, a guard presented the ashes in a tray.

Zuo Ming stretched out his hand to pick up a few threads in the ashes, twisted them with his fingers, and the traces of burnt ash on them faded a little, revealing a golden luster.

"This is gold thread. The imperial husband's dress today is embroidered with gold thread. Could this ashes be the dress that was originally placed in this side hall?"

Zuo Ming put the gold thread that had been kissed by fire back on the tray, waved his hand as a signal, and two imperial guards immediately stepped forward to restrain Dong Yunrui, and tore off his official robe, only to see several scars on his chest and back. The blood stains from the nails and the blood beads on the wound have not yet completely condensed.

Fu Yuan immediately stepped forward to take his pulse, and said coldly after a while: "Did Shangshu bring that passionate concubine to the banquet? You are clearly just a spring breeze!"

Dong Yunrui suddenly stopped struggling, with his head lowered, unable to see his expression clearly, everyone thought he had confessed his guilt.

Yan Zhenglang said coldly: "This Qianqiu Festival, Your Majesty will hold a banquet at Xingqing Palace. All matters will be presided over by your Ministry of Rituals. This maid is arranged by you. She deliberately lured His Royal Highness to the Nanxun Palace where the eldest concubine rested. Here, another set of dresses is placed here, in fact, you have already raped the Crown Princess, and you still want His Royal Highness to take the blame!"

The maid who had brought Jiang Lai here before saw that the incident had been revealed, and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant took advantage of Mr. Dong. He let the servant dirty the royal husband's robe at the banquet, and then brought the royal husband here. After entering the room, lock the door after the imperial husband enters, and then wait on the road leading to Xingqing Hall. The servants don’t know anything!"

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "Drag it on, deal with it according to palace rules!"

The maid was still begging for mercy, but the guards dragged her down without hesitation.

"His Royal Highness treats you well, and promoted you to be Minister of Rites. Why did you trap him in such injustice!"

Dong Yunrui raised his head, his usual fawning look was gone, his voice was a little sarcastic, and he looked at Jiang Nian with resentment in his eyes, "Why should I be grateful to him? Should I be grateful to him when he promoted me to be a minister? I I would rather not have this position of Minister, so that my beloved woman will not have to suffer in that dark prison!"

For such a high position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Dong Yunrui actually showed a lot of hatred in his words, which shocked the officials present.

The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was a woman. Because she loved Xu Zhi, she tampered with Xu Miaoyun when she was in the spring, and wanted to help Xu Miaoyun get the position of Huiyuan. Forgiveness or forgiveness.

When thinking of Qin Suqian, a cold and lonely image emerges in most people's minds. She has been in the court for more than ten years and is cautious in doing things, but her personality is cold and she is almost always a loner.It was shocking enough when it was revealed that she had been in love with Dang Chao Cifu for 11 years at the time of Chun Wei, but now Dong Yunrui claimed to have loved Qin Suqian for many years, and everyone in the room was so shocked that their jaws would drop up.

Yan Zhenglang said in disbelief, "You actually planned to frame the imperial husband just to avenge Qin Suqian?"

Dong Yunrui showed a stern look on his face, and said loudly: "That's right, I hate him to the bone, and I don't want him to die without a place to bury him all the time!"

"What a white-eyed wolf. Qin Suqian deserved what she deserved. Dong Yunrui actually murdered the royal family because of his personal affair, which is a serious crime against the nine clans!"

"This kind of insane person should be executed in a hurry!"

Facing the accusations from everyone, Dong Yunrui was not ashamed, but looked at Ning Ziyi frivolously, his eyes revealing lewdness, "Although your concubine has a bad temper, the taste is still very good, you can taste the taste of a royal woman." Taste, even my death is worth it, hahahaha..."

Yan Zhenglang sternly said, "Presumptuous!"

Dong Yunrui's arrogant and unscrupulous laughter was extremely ear-piercing, and the people present were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could step forward and slap him twice.

But at this moment of lightning, Ning Ziyi suddenly grabbed the knife from the guard's hand and stabbed at Dong Yunrui. The change happened so fast that everyone was stunned and couldn't react in time. They watched the blade sink into Dong Yunrui's chest.

Ning Ziyi used great strength in this blow, the entire knife went into Dong Yunrui's chest, pierced his heart, and the blade came out from Dong Yunrui's back.Blood splashed out, spraying Ning Ziyi all over.Dong Yunrui's eyes widened, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his head drooped immediately.

"You beast, you have done such a dehumanizing thing, and you still dare to speak wild words!"

Ning Ziyi's eyes were red, he drew out the knife and stabbed Dong Yunrui's abdomen again, blood splashed all over his face, making him look like he was in a madness.When he drew out his knife again and wanted to stab again, Zuo Ming grabbed his wrist.

"Let go of me, this son wants to avenge his wife and children!" Ning Ziyi wanted to break free from Zuo Ming, but he couldn't do it.

Zuo Ming snatched the knife from Ning Ziyi's hand, "Your Majesty, the state owns the state's laws, and the family has family rules! Dong Yunrui committed such a serious crime, His Majesty will deal with it himself, and you will do it yourself!"

"Commander Zuo, you also saw how this son's wife and children died. This son killed him by hand, which is already taking advantage of him!" Ning Ziyi was still indignant.

The guard who supported Dong Yunrui hurriedly sniffed him, "Commander, he died..."

"Dead?" Ning Ziyi's voice was filled with ecstasy, and he suddenly laughed, "It's a good death, he deserved it!"

This accident happened so suddenly that no one could react.At this moment, Dong Yunrui was discovered to be the murderer, but at the next moment, Ning Ziyi, who was the victim, had already taken Dong Yunrui's life with his own hands...

Ning Yuezhao glanced at Jiang Nian, there was not much strangeness on his face, he just pursed his lips slightly, without saying a word.

Sensing Ning Yuezhao's gaze, Jiang Nian looked sideways at her and shook his head slightly.

Ning Ziyi shook off Zuo Ming's hand, and said to Ning Yuezhao: "Your Majesty, Dong Yunrui used this cruel method to kill the minister's wife and children, and his nine clans must not let him go!"

Ning Yuezhao waved his hand to signal for Dong Yunrui's body to be carried away, and turned to Yan Zhenglang, "Although the murder of Yi Shizi today is against the law, considering that you are avenging your wife and children, you will not be held accountable. The follow-up will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, do you have any objections?"

Ning Ziyi raised his sleeve and wiped the blood on his face, still dissatisfied and said: "I dare not refuse."

Unknowingly, it was already dusk outside the hall.

Ning Yuezhao didn't pay attention to him anymore, but said in a deep voice, "Is the Minister of Rites here?"

The servant of the Ministry of Rites who was named stood up immediately, and looked at Ning Yuezhao tremblingly, "My minister is here."

"Ask someone to clean up here, and the dinner will continue as usual."

When Ning Yuezhao said this, she was looking at Jiang Nian.

Sensing her gaze, Jiang Nian's mouth curved slightly.
