Good luck in pregnancy: The lucky child is loved by the group

Chapter 30 The Abandoned True Princess Returns

He didn't know whether Fan An knew about this, but it was only natural for a thief to feel guilty.

The two men didn't even have time to get in a carriage and rode straight to the execution ground on horseback.

It was not until they arrived at the execution ground that they learned that Fanan had just taken a shortcut!

She made a feint and took Tan Mingyuan directly back to the Dali Temple.

After the empty trip, Gu Lang's face became even gloomier.

He originally had a face as gentle as jade, but now his face was tense and looked scary. The servants beside him took two steps back unconsciously, fearing that they would bring bad luck.

You Anjin thought this cousin was interesting, very interesting.

The two men changed direction again and rushed to the Dali Temple without stopping.

Even after entering the Dali Temple, Gu Lang was still worried.

He was not in a hurry about the case.

A few days ago, he figured out the whole story and brought the culprit to justice. With his excellent handling of the case, he also won a lot of praise from other officials.

But for Fan An, he just felt that she had found some flaws in his handling of the case, or had set a trap for him.

As soon as Gu Lang and You Anjin stepped into the Dali Temple, everyone noticed them.

Gu Shaoqing has a face as gentle as jade, and he is highly regarded by the emperor. Now he has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone is concerned about his future prospects.

The visit of You Anjin came as a surprise to many people.

Could it be that he is supporting Gu Shaoqing?
The officials greeted You Anjin and bowed, "Why are you here, Master You?"

"Nothing, nothing. I made an appointment with Gu Shaoqing to drink today, but I didn't expect him to leave halfway. So I just followed him here to watch the fun."

You Anjin always appears gentle and elegant when he is outside, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, the princess is trying Tan in there, and the result should be out by now..."

"Result? What result?" Gu Lang's eyes darkened. "The case has been closed, why is it still being tried?"

The officials present looked at each other, pushing each other, but in the end no one stood up. Only the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple came out, patted Gu Lang on the shoulder and sighed.

Gu Lang's heart tightened, and he didn't even bother to say hello to You Anjin. He just walked in quickly.

He had just arrived at the place where the prisoners were being interrogated, and as luck would have it, the man named Tan had just signed his name. He looked very miserable, shaking like a sieve, and he could even faintly smell a strong odor of urine.

Gu Lang's eyes turned cold, and he simply bowed to Fan An: "Greetings, Princess."

"Oh? What is the number one scholar doing here?" Fan An asked knowingly.

Even though he was already an official at the Dali Temple, he was indeed the current top scholar, so there was nothing rude about this title. However, Gu Lang always felt that this woman was deliberately mocking him. In terms of official rank, the Dali Temple Shaoqing was a fourth-rank official, which was much higher than the seventh-rank right censor. But Fan An only mentioned that he was the top scholar with no official power.

Gu Lang's face was cold and his eyes were heavy as he said to her, "This case of the Tan family was handled by me. I heard that the princess had kidnapped Tan Mingyuan for unknown reasons, so I hurried over. If the princess has any questions about this case, I am willing to answer your questions."

Fan An waved his hand, then stretched his body, and pointed to the signed complaint beside him: "No need, the case has been solved, the maid is not the murderer, it was framed by this Tan.

He coveted Wang's property, but he couldn't coax the account book out of her. Moreover, Wang had been childless for many years and didn't allow him to have a concubine. So he took a risk, coaxed the maid, used her, and killed his wife.

Gu Lang's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, but before he could say anything, You Anjin, who had just come in, happened to hear this reasoning and laughed out loud.

"In terms of blood relationship, you and I are cousins, so I'll call you cousin."

You Anjin opened his fan and said, "My cousin is really gifted. She arrested someone and solved the case the moment she did. I wonder if she is very perceptive or was she forced to confess?"

When these words were spoken, the officials nearby gasped. If the accusation of "confessing under torture" was put on them, none of them who were present would be able to explain themselves.

"Cousin, you came to such a conclusion without understanding the situation," Fan An said with a half-smile, "Is this the style of the Prime Minister's Mansion? It seems to be due to the family tradition. Fortunately, we are just cousins, not relatives."

You Anjin's face darkened, and Gu Lang quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Princess, you don't know that when I was investigating this case, Master You also helped me. I don't know all the details of this case, but I understand the basic ins and outs. Princess has misunderstood Master You.

Moreover, when I investigated this case, I checked the time of the crime. At that time, Tan Mingyuan was out and had not returned, so he was not suspected of committing any crime. But the princess went to Tan's house today and tortured him into confessing. I don't understand. "

Upon hearing this, the official next to him wanted to spit at Gu Lang.

What happened to Gu Lang today?

If You Anjin said that the princess had tortured the prisoner into confessing, they would have tolerated it. But Gu Lang was one of their own and he insisted that the princess had tortured the prisoner into confessing. So where did they, the officials present, stand?

Fan An's smile deepened, and he looked at the Dali Temple Minister who came in, "Your subordinates seem to be extremely stubborn, how about you tell me about the scene today?"

The subtext is that Gu Lang is a member of the Dali Temple after all. He is a high official but he is not strict with his subordinates. As a princess, she does not want to overstep the boundaries. But she does not mind overstepping the boundaries either.

The Dali Temple Minister had been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally understood what Fan An meant. He pointed at Gu Lang and said, "Since Shaoqing didn't go there this time, he doesn't know the situation in the Tan Mansion."

"The reason why Tan Mingyuan fell seriously ill and was bedridden was because he hid the murder weapon under his mattress in order to conceal it."

"We smelled a foul odor as soon as we entered the room today. Based on the clues, plus the location of the murder weapon and Wang's body, we inferred that the first scene was not near the pond. We found dried blood on the stone path along the pond."

"Later, we reconstructed the route of the crime based on the clues. If the maid was the murderer, she would not have crossed the path after killing someone at the entrance of the courtyard, and turned a meaningless corner before burying the murder weapon by the pond."

"Then Wang and the maid must have had an argument by the pond. The maid stabbed her with a knife. When she saw Wang bleeding and fell, the maid ran away in fear and buried the murder weapon by the pond on the way."

"But Wang was not dead at that time, she just fainted from shock. The wound should not be deep. After she woke up, she followed the path back to her room to call for help. But she was stopped by Tan Mingyuan as soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard. He stabbed her in the chest with the same dagger at a similar angle, which killed her."

"The time of the crime was calculated to be the time when the maid committed the crime, and the time she hid the murder weapon was also taken into account. Thinking in this way, the murderer was naturally ruled out."
