The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 347 Pressing every step of the way, backhanding the universe (1)
Then his gaze was as sharp as a knife's edge, and he gave Chu Xunyang a hard look.

Chu Xunyang's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly felt a little doubtful——

This person's eyes are too realistic, but it doesn't look like he is acting. Isn't he an internal response?

As a result, the water got deeper again, and Chu Qifeng wondered if he could handle it.

Yao Guangtai didn't explain, but asked Chu Xunyang with an unfriendly expression: "Please take a look at the Princess, is she your maid?"

"No!" Chu Xunyang said, the two words were crisp and clear, but because the answer was too fast, it was a bit suspicious in other people's ears.

"No! This is the maidservant of Princess Xunyang!" A yamen servant from Jingzhao Mansion was filled with righteous indignation: "This maid is named Qingluo, she is very skilled, and she serves personally by Princess Xunyang. I used to I have seen it with my own eyes, and I will never admit it wrong!"

Yao Guangtai snorted coldly, and as soon as he waved his hand, the yamen servant pushed a few more people in from the outside, some old and some young, the most conspicuous of them, Chu Xunyang, unexpectedly recognized her as the sweeping girl in her yard, Thrush, and the identities of the others were also different. They are all impeccable, whether they are the vegetable vendors who often come and go to supply vegetables to the East Palace kitchen, or the old man who comes to collect slops every day, in short, they are all identities that have the opportunity to appear near the East Palace.

Several people seemed to be honest and dutiful ordinary people. Facing so many nobles in this hall, some people were even shivering. After identifying them, they all insisted that the female corpse was Qingluo, the personal maid beside Chu Xunyang.

"Yes, this is Sister Qingluo!" Huamei whispered, tears rolled down, and she looked sad, "I haven't seen her since she went out with the princess early yesterday morning, I didn't expect— -did not think of--"

The so-called public mouth makes money, when Yao Guangtai looked at Chu Xunyang again, he smiled coldly, "Princess, what else do you have to say?"

"Qingluo has been with me since she was six years old, and she is inseparable. Is this Gong familiar with her, or are these so-called witnesses you found familiar with her?" Chu Xunyang said coldly, squinting at the woman's corpse lying in front of her condescendingly. "The appearance of this person is indeed somewhat similar to Qingluo, but half of his face has been ruined. Don't Master Yao feel strange? If it wasn't for someone trying to cover up something, why didn't he just capture the assassin alive and take him with him?" Go to the court to confront Bengong? Such a dead person, still ruined his face, casually framed him as Bengong's maid? Isn't this a little too far-fetched?"

Yao Guangtai was stunned, and Du Changming was already furious and said: "What does the princess mean, is it that the low-ranking people deliberately murdered and silenced you to blame you?"

"Even if she committed suicide in fear of crime as you said, I am puzzled, why did her face become like this?" Chu Xunyang asked calmly.

"It wasn't like this when her body was taken away last night!" Du Changming said, looking up at Yao Guangtai in the hall angrily.

Yao Guangtai's complexion was not good.

But Chu Yijian, who was sitting leisurely drinking tea, said slowly, "Last night, the lantern at the gate of the mortuary in the Yamen was blown down by the wind. Something happened!"

"What a coincidence?" Chu Xunyang suddenly laughed when he heard the words, and looked ironically at Yao Guangtai who was behind the case.

Yao Guangtai immediately became a little anxious, and said angrily: "What does the princess mean? Do you still suspect that this official did it on purpose?"

He also did not expect this incident. It was originally a good evidence, but now it has become like this. The emperor called him to the palace early in the morning and scolded him. He also suspected that the people in the East Palace might have done something wrong. It was necessary to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces, but after careful inspection of the scene, there was no trace of man-made signs.

Yao Guangtai felt that his face was shameless, and when he was about to argue, he saw a yamen servant walking in from outside anxiously, and hurriedly reported: "My lord, the head of the yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture came to report that the two jailed yesterday The guards of Changshun Palace committed suicide in fear of crime at night!"

Chu Xunyang hooked the corners of his lips indifferently——

Su Lin has to be dragged in so that this round can become infinitely bigger. This is really a good sign!
Du Changming inadvertently caught a glimpse of the look in her eyes, and immediately roared angrily, "Princess Xunyang, you are so vicious!"

"What's the matter? Boss Du, are you yelling at the court?" Chu Xunyang raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes staring.

"You're killing people to silence your mouth!" Du Changming said angrily, the veins on his forehead popped up, and the fingers under his sleeves rattled.

Seeing his angry expression, Chu Yimin frowned displeasedly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Just say what you have to say, don't make noise in the courtroom!"

Du Changming gritted his teeth, hesitantly and with some reservations, he cupped his hands to Yao Guangtai above him and said, "My lord, a homicide happened by the Lijiang River at noon yesterday, and the two people who died in the prison were witnesses to what happened. The Lord went to the Yamen to put pressure on the two of them to be interrogated in private, and because of this, he had a conflict with Mr. Gu. Now that Mr. Gu was killed, it just so happened that the two guards committed suicide in fear of crime? Don’t you think this is strange?"

Yao Guangtai's gaze flashed, his heart settled down a little, but his face was solemn and he muttered: "So you still suspect that this matter was done by Princess Xunyang?"

"Yes!" Du Changming gritted his teeth, "Master Gu has always been strict and low-key, and rarely conflicts with others. Yesterday, there was a lot of conflict between Princess Xunyang and the Lord because of the private interrogation of criminals. Very unpleasant!"

"Yes, low-ranking officials can testify!" Another yamen servant was also filled with righteous indignation: "At that time, when the county chief forcibly interrogated the prisoner, our adults did not agree. Later, the princess moved out of the royal family to put pressure on the adults and finally agreed. She severely tortured Although all the low-ranking people and others were dismissed when the two were forced to interrogate, after she left, Mrs. Gu's face changed very badly, obviously—obviously he was intimidated by someone!"

Gu Changfeng was threatened?Gu Changfeng's reputation in the officialdom has always been good!
Several princes and officials in the nearby table began to exchange glances in private.

Chu Yi'an pressed his finger on the lid of the teacup and paused for a moment, feeling somewhat interested, he looked up at Chu Xunyang and said, "Girl, did you really go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to make trouble?"

"I didn't make trouble!" Chu Xunyang curled his lips, retorting in a low voice with a little guilt.

Chu Yi'an frowned.

Yao Guangtai rolled his eyes, and quickly made an excuse: "Du Changming, weren't you there when the incident happened? You said that there was a conflict between Princess Xunyang and Mr. Gu? What was the conflict?"

Du Changming opened his mouth, but he hesitated to speak because of concerns.

The other yamen servants didn't know so much, so they didn't think so much. Immediately, someone shouted loudly: "The lord of Xunyang County used lynching in court, and even discounted the legs of the two guards in Changshun Palace!"
