Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 209 Not a fool
"very good!"

"Why didn't you step forward to stop Aunt Ning when you saw me strangling Aunt Ning? Are you a tall and strong man afraid that you won't be able to catch me?" What Orion said seems reasonable, but there are many loopholes in it .

"The lowly status of the grassroots was afraid of offending the nobles, so they didn't come forward in time."

"The witnesses and the material evidence are all there, so the fifth sibling should stop arguing." A sneer flashed across Wei Ziming's eyes.

Ning Erlan looked at Li Er who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Did you see me strangle Aunt Ning to death? With a rope?"

"Yes, Cao Min did see the princess strangle Aunt Ning to death with a rope." Li Er said firmly.

Ning Erlan looked at Wei Ziming with a slight smile on her lips and said, "Did the second prince hear it? This sight may not be true. Just now, Wu Zuo said that Aunt Ning was strangled to death. But Li Er said She was strangled with a rope."

"He also said that he was away for a period of time, and it's normal not to know, but he saw you strangle Aunt Ning's neck with a rope, which is absolutely true."

"What Brother Er Huang said is true. Li Er, are you sure you only saw Concubine Ben and Aunt Ning? There was no third one?" Two asked.

Li Er's eyes flickered slightly, but he still said firmly: "No, Cao Min only sees Wang Fei and Aunt Ning."

"My concubine has evidence to prove that Aunt Ning was not killed by me." After finishing speaking, Ning Erlan looked at Zheng Wu. hands do not match."

Wei Ziming frowned. "What's the meaning?"

"In other words, Princess Ling will not be the murderer. The dead man's finger marks were very deep, so even if they were covered with rope marks, they could still be found. The marks circled half the neck of the deceased, which proves that the murderer was not only strong, Big hands too."

"How could it be possible? No, it was Princess Ling. It was Princess Ling who killed Aunt Ning. It was Princess Ling..." Xi Mei seemed to realize something, and suddenly yelled loudly.

"Xi Mei, if my concubine remembers correctly, you followed Aunt Ning when she said she was going up to the mountain to enjoy the scenery, but why did you come back halfway?"

Xi Mei was stunned by Ning Erlan's question, and then quickly argued: "Aunt Ning said she was thirsty, and asked the servant to come back to the sour plum soup in the mansion. The servant was worried that Auntie was alone in the mountains, but Aunt said Waiting for the servant at the same place, the servant came back. At that time, when the servant passed by the princess's room, she found that sister Xinchen, who was supposed to be guarding outside, was sitting on the porch and fell asleep. The servant wanted to wake her up, but she was afraid that she would not Go forward. After the servant took the sour plum soup and went up the mountain, she found that Aunt Ning was gone, so the servant kept looking for it on the mountain..."

"At that time, the abbot of the Guanyin Temple knew how many people went up the mountain. At that time, the coachman was in the stable, and there was only Xinchen, a waiter, by Chenqie's side. The pinch marks on Aunt Ning's neck were also compared with Chenqie just now. , It is indeed not the work of the concubine, please let the lord know." Wei Lingxiao is the master of the palace, and the matter needs to be decided by him. .

Ling Xiao was very satisfied with Ning Erlan's showing weakness.Did she finally realize the importance of him and rely on him as her own man? "If that's the case, please let the second emperor and the minister go in and have a look." This is to see Ning Shuangyu's dissected body.

"Okay." Although he didn't want to, Wei Ziming had no choice but to follow in.

Because Ning Shuangyu had been dissected, it was time to put a white cloth on Ning Shuangyu. Zheng Wu stepped forward and lifted the cloth covering his head, allowing them to see the scars on Ning Shuangyu's neck clearly, and then clasped his hands Ning Shuangyu's neck. "The lord and the second prince underestimated it. The pinch mark on the neck of the deceased was very long, and there was no trace of displacement. This shows that the murderer was a man of great strength. This hand is even bigger than that of the petty official." Zheng Wu After the hand covered it, the pinch marks were not completely covered.It can be seen that he did not lie.

Wei Ziming frowned slowly.

Several people came out.Wei Ziming said: "Perhaps this was done on purpose by the murderer? In order to remove his suspicion, he created such an illusion."

"The traces of the rope are easy to get on, but if the pinch marks are repeated, there may be deviations, and from the two points of using the rope and pushing it into the stream, it can be seen that the murderer is a thoughtful person." People, if you want to use this to plant blame, you will not fail to think of this. This can only show that the pinch is indeed left by the murderer."

Hearing this, Ning Erlan stretched out her hand and held it in front of everyone. "My concubine's hand is only half the size of Wuzuo, how can I pinch such a big mark? Besides, my concubine never left the temple that afternoon. All your testimony is either your guesswork, or... is subject to Someone ordered me to frame this concubine!"

"No, Second Prince, you must make the decision for Aunt Ning, Aunt Ning died so tragically..."

"Cao Min dare not tell half a lie, they really saw it with their own eyes."

The two "witnesses" both said that what they said was true, but the facts before them completely contradicted what they said.

At this moment, Chao and Xinchen walked in.

"My subordinates see the lord."

"The slaves and servants see the prince."

"Get up."

Lin Yanyan looked at the two people who walked in, her face changed slightly, but she still maintained an expression of worry for Ning Erlan.

"My lord, my subordinates went to the Songzi Guanyin Temple to inquire. The abbot of the temple happened to be admonishing in the front yard that day, saying that he had not seen the princess leave the temple. The abbot also said that the back door of the temple was locked. Only she has the key." Chao Leng said.

"My lord, the maidservants also went back to the temple with the court guards, and found the two copper coins worn by the princess yesterday in the princess's room." After finishing speaking, Xinchen took out the copper coins strung with a red thread. "At that time, many people present saw with their own eyes that the slaves found it under the bed where the princess was resting."

"This king has always believed in you." Wei Lingxiao looked at Ning Erlan in a blink of an eye. This woman was so calm no matter what time she was.Perhaps, he fell in love with the indifference in the depths of her eyes a long time ago.

Receiving Wei Lingxiao's gaze, Ning Erlan's heart skipped half a beat for an instant, but this feeling was very subtle, so subtle that she thought it was actually not bad.

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

What Chao and Xinchen said made Li Er and Xi Mei's faces look ugly.Forced to close his mouth tightly, he obediently stopped making a sound at this time.

Seeing such a scene, Wei Ziming's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled apologetically and gently for a moment. "It seems that this hall has recklessly wronged the five younger brothers and sisters."

"I don't blame the second emperor brother. The second emperor brother was just deceived by the traitor. The most abominable thing is the person who plotted to frame my concubine behind the scenes." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xi Mei and Li Er with cold eyes. .These two people might know something.

"Bold thugs, bold slaves, who on earth gave you the courage to frame Princess Ling? You didn't do it!" Wei Ziming looked at the two of them and shouted.

"Is there no servant, what the servant said is absolutely true... The second prince, the servant did not intend to frame Princess Ling..."

"Cao Min, Cao Min did see Princess Ling and Aunt Ning arguing..."

"Come here, bring these two people to the Xuanming Palace, and the palace will interrogate them in person!"

"This Li Er's hand looks a bit like that pinch mark..." Ning Erlan pointedly looked at Li Er's hand, and then looked at the room where Ning Shuangyu's body was parked.

"This king seems to be a bit of a fit, so let him compare and compare." Wei Lingxiao's tone contained an irresistible meaning.

Hearing this, Li Er's body trembled, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously on his face. "How could Caomin do this thing? Caomin just passed by and saw it. Caomin came here with good intentions. How could King Ling doubt Caomin?"

"This is wrong. The more suspicious you are, the more you should try to prove your innocence. This concubine thinks what the prince said is not wrong. I believe that the second brother will not object, right, second brother? "

Wei Ziming felt a little uncomfortable when Ning Erlan looked at him like this, and responded lightly. "Since the fifth brother and the fifth younger siblings have said that, let Wu Zuo take you in."

"Caomin is innocent. If you want me to be a scapegoat, I will never go there!" Suddenly, Li Er stood up abruptly and said in a rough voice.

"Chao, let me take it down! If you don't resist again, I will take his hands off! I want to see who can play wild in this Lingwang's mansion!" Wei Lingxiao's face darkened, half-closed his eyes He looked at Li Erdao.

Li Er got entangled with Chao. Although he was strong, his kung fu was not at the same level as Chao. After a few strokes, Chao controlled him and escorted him to the mortuary.Zheng Wu also walked in.

After a while, Zheng Wu came out. "My lord, this Li Er's hand matches the pinch marks exactly."

"really?"

"The lower officials dare not speak nonsense, which means that Li Er is suspected of committing the crime."

"Come here, take this king's post and send these people to Jing Zhaoyin. We must find out the truth and punish them severely!" Wei Lingxiao's slightly cold eyes were stained with anger.

Chao escorted Li Er out, tied his hands, and escorted him out of the courtyard, Xi Mei was also escorted down.

"Fifth brother is really decisive in doing things, but this is the housework of this hall, and fifth brother may be out of order in doing so."

Wei Ziming frowned in displeasure.

"Before the second royal brother came, this was indeed a family matter of the royal brother, but since the royal brother suspects that this king's wife committed the crime, then it is so necessary for the king to return her innocence. This is not as simple as a housework. Yes! If you have any questions, Second Emperor Brother, let’s talk to Jing Zhaoyin.”

After speaking, Wei Lingxiao turned around and was about to leave.

Ning Erlan gave a blessed gift.He followed behind Wei Lingxiao, but when he walked past Lin Yanyan, he paused and said softly, "This concubine is not a fool."
