The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 353
There were also feuds between him and Nanhe Palace.

"Where the things come from is not important anymore, the important thing is that he murdered and extorted goods has become a fact!" Chu Qifeng said coldly, his tone sank as he spoke, and raised his voice: "Bring people in!"

"Yes!" The guard took the order, and after a while, three civilians, old and young, came in from outside. The older ones looked like a middle-aged couple. In one hand, he was holding a little girl who was about five or six years old with a panicked expression.

"My lord, good luck to all the nobles!" The three fell to the ground as soon as they entered the door, not daring to look at the people in the hall.

Chu Qifeng cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "This couple surnamed Liu are neighbors next door to Wu's blacksmith shop. Tell me, what did you see?"

"Yes, yes!" The man responded repeatedly, leaning down hard, almost lying on the ground, "Last night, when the old Wu's house next door was about to close up, a customer happened to come. The little one just came back from outside. I saw him bring the man into the shop. After about half a cup of tea, my mother-in-law saw the man leaving the alley with a sword when she went out to pour the slop. At that time—we didn’t have many I think, later in the middle of the night I suddenly heard a child crying, and my mother-in-law picked up the oil lamp to see, but she was so scared that she peed on the spot.”

"My lord——" the man said, his voice could not help but tremble, "Someone died, the old couple of the Wu family died, and the little one passed by with blood all over the ground!"

"Did you see the murderer?" Yao Guangtai asked, "Did you see his face clearly?"

"No-no-" The man's voice was still a little trembling, and he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva before he stabilized his mood a little. He's very strong, recognizable, and——the clothes he was wearing at that time!"

Yang Tie remained silent.

Chu Yimin couldn't speak to avoid suspicion.

"Since you didn't see the face clearly, isn't this identification far-fetched?" Chu Yiqing said leisurely while slowly holding the tea in his cup, "There are many people who look similar in this world, let alone you only saw one. And the blacksmith shop is open for business, so even if the second brother’s attendant actually went to buy something, what can he prove? You can’t call him a murderer just because he entered that shop, right?”

"No, no, no, he must have done it!" The man waved his hands again and again, and said to Yao Guangtai in the hall with a very respectful expression: "My lord, Lao Wu's eyes are not good, and it's easy to see things when it's dark. His shop The door always closes on time as soon as it gets dark, and yesterday was just a coincidence for this guest to go, and I have been listening to the movement of the neighbors, since this person left, no one in the next door has come in or out."

The others stopped talking, and Yao Guangtai hesitated and said, "If you didn't see the murderer's face clearly, such an accusation would be far-fetched—"

"My lord!" the man suddenly said, interrupting his words eagerly, he pulled the little girl who was nestling in the woman's arms and said, "This is Lao Wu's daughter. When my wife passed by, this child was Hiding behind the bellows in the outhouse and crying, she saw it, the child saw everything, I beg the adults to decide and uphold justice!"

Yao Guangtai frowned.

A trace of doubt suddenly flashed on Yang Tie's face, which had always regarded death as home, and he couldn't help but look back.

At this glance, the little girl really saw his face, and burst out crying with a cry, rushed over and grabbed his clothes and started fighting: "Bad guy, you give me back my parents, give me back my parents!" !"

Yang Tie never thought that such a mistake would happen, he was so annoyed by the child that he raised his hand to wave her away.

Chu Xunyang's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the child away.

The woman rushed over, hugged the child firmly in her arms, stared at the "murderer" with a wary expression, and couldn't help shaking.

"Liu Ya, don't cry, tell Master Qingtian what you saw!" The man raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the child's face.

"He hit my father, there was a lot of blood, my mother bit him, and he hit my mother again!" The little girl twitched badly, her whole body was convulsed.

In fact, to deal with ordinary people like Wu Tiejiang and his wife, Yang Tie's attack is simply a one-shot kill, which is not as complicated as the child understands.

Chu Xunyang squatted down and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face.

She has always been unwilling to deal with such a situation. The battle for imperial power is the battlefield for them, but what is it to those ordinary people?In the eyes of the superiors, the lives of these ordinary people are not worth mentioning, but they are the most innocent.

The child cried so much that he almost lost his breath.

The woman kept stroking her back to comfort her. Chu Xunyang wiped her face and asked softly, "You just said that your mother bit him? Do you remember where it was bitten?"

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded, rolled up her sleeves clumsily, and made a gesture on her tiny arm, about an inch above the elbow.

Chu Xunyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to Jiang Liu and said: "Open his sleeves, check!"

"Yes!" Jiang Liu walked over, Yang Tie wanted to resist subconsciously, Lu Yuan also stepped forward, and the two pressed him down together.

Chu Xunyang got up and went over, tearing off half of his sleeve with a clatter, revealing two rows of tooth marks with dried blood inside.

"The evidence is convincing? What else do you have to say?" Chu Xunyang said coldly, and slammed the half-shattered sleeve on his face.

"It's just killing people to pay for their lives. What else is there to say?" Yang Tie finally opened his mouth, but he laughed out loud without any regrets.

Jiang Liu kicked him, breaking his teeth.

When he wanted to laugh again, his expression convulsed and twisted a little.

Chu Qifeng glanced at him, and then said to the emperor: "Grandfather, the weapon used by the assassin to assassinate Mr. Gu has been verified. It was stolen from Wu's blacksmith shop last night. And this morning, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion received a report. The Xiban lost a Wudan, and they searched all night but couldn't find anyone. When I came here just now, I took the leader of the band to identify the body. He confirmed that the so-called female assassin who entered Jingzhao Mansion last night to assassinate was the missing one from their team. Wudan, and someone found a lot of silver notes on the body of that Wudan brother."

Gu Changfeng is a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. To kill him, he really doesn't need a master of martial arts, a martial artist with a little flexibility——

enough!
The general context of the matter has become clear. Yang Tie killed people and seized the sword, and paid a lot of money to buy Wu Dan from the Sixi Squad to assassinate Gu Changfeng.
