Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 855 Trial
Its corpse was laid out horizontally in the main hall, surrounded by Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai, Zhizheng Zhongjie and Qiongta.

With the sound of footsteps, Princess Nalu quickly walked out of the harem accompanied by her servants.

Di Renjie and others bowed and saluted: "Your Royal Highness!"

Na Lu nodded and said, "Everyone, what's the matter?"

Qiongta suppressed the grief and indignation in her heart, and said with a cold "hum": "Is Your Highness Wangfei's eyes bad, or is she turning a blind eye?"

Na Lu said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Zhong Jie sneered: "Your Highness, as long as you lower your noble head, you don't need to ask us."

Nalu was taken aback, and looked down, just in time to see its dead body on the ground.

She screamed, jumped two steps away, her face changed color: "This, this is Prince Wei it! He, how could he..."

Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "Yesterday night, Prince Weita was lured by the murderer to the Zhongtu Temple in the suburbs to kill him. The murderer's method was extremely cruel. It is certain that the one who killed the king is the same person!"

Na Lu was still in shock, and asked, "Duke Di, you mean that the king was also killed?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Through these two days of investigation, it can be concluded that the former king's charge was premeditated by the murderer, which is beyond doubt.

The murderer placed the king's finger bones and toe bones in front of the gates of the abandoned palace.

The meaning of these two broken bones is siblings, that is, brothers. The murderer means that his next target will be the late king's younger brother, Prince Weita.

Sure enough, Prince Weita was killed last night! "

Nalu gasped, and said in a trembling voice, "Who is the murderer?"

Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, Qiongta took a step forward and shouted sharply: "Don't you know, Your Royal Highness?"

Nalu sneered and said, "Oh, Prince Qiongta's words are too strange, how would I know?"

Qiongta scolded angrily: "You vicious woman, who conspired to kill my two elder brothers and seize the throne, you really deserve death!"

Nalu raised her eyebrows upside down: "Qionta, you dare to say such outrageous words to frame my palace without evidence, aren't you afraid of the strict laws of the king?"

Qiongta sneered for a while: "There is no evidence, hehe, when you see the evidence, it will be the day when your death is imminent! Your lord..."

Zhongjie stepped forward, held up a sachet embroidered with Langzi flowers with gold and silver threads, and said, "Your Highness, please identify carefully, who owns this sachet?"

Na Lu stepped forward, took a closer look, and immediately gasped.

Zhongjie held the sachet high in his hand and said, "This thing is embroidered with gold and silver thread, and the pattern is the Langzi flower, which symbolizes the supreme power of the royal family; the built-in agarwood is no one dares to use it except for the inner court of the Yuezhi Kingdom." .Whose thing is this!"

Nalu swallowed her saliva, and forced herself to calm down, "Here, this is my palace's property. Where did you get it from?"

Zhong Jie sneered and said, "This was found at the scene of Prince Wei Ta's death!"

Na Lu exclaimed in surprise, "You, you are talking nonsense!"

As she said that, she looked at Di Renjie for help.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "That's right, Your Royal Highness, this object was found at the scene of Prince Weita's death."

Nalu took a breath, forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, and said with a fake smile: "This is impossible."

Zhongjie forced to ask: "Oh, why?"

Nalu said: "This sachet I lost a month ago."

Zhong Jie let out a sneer and said, "Oh, lost it? Where is it lost?"

Nalu was at a loss for words for a moment: "Drop, throw it... I don't remember it either."

Zhongjie asked again: "Who is the witness?"

Na Lu said arrogantly: "In such a huge palace, if I lost a small sachet, do I need someone to prove it?"

Zhongjie pressed on step by step, and asked: "Of course, His Royal Highness lost a mere sachet, of course no one needs to prove it. But if this sachet is dropped at the death scene of Prince Weita, I am afraid that someone will have to prove it, otherwise you will not be able to get rid of it." Suspected of murder!"

Nalu was furious: "Zhongjie, you spout blood!"

Qiongta said: "Nalu, do you still have the face to accuse others? Now that the evidence is overwhelming, no one will believe it even if you try to deny it!"

Nalu shouted hoarsely: "Could it be that just based on this sachet, you can conclude that I am the murderer? The palace is vast and there are many slaves. Could it be that the servants and palace servants stole the sachet from me to commit suicide?" Rapist?"

Jonta was speechless.

Na Lu said triumphantly, "How about it, what else do you have to say?"

Zhong Jie refused to budge, insisting: "Yes, we cannot confirm the identity of your murderer right away, but you must also accept the investigation of Yousi!"

Nalu raised her head high and said coldly: "What a big tone, who dares to judge the princess of my dignified Yuezhi Kingdom!"

Zhong Jie said loudly: "I'm afraid this is up to you! It's about the death of a king and a prince. As the Yue clan, I am in power and have the right to uphold justice.

If you resist the interrogation, I will summon all nobles and citizens in the country in the name of ruling, and vote on the spot! "

Na Lu's expression changed immediately.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't engage in unnecessary disputes anymore. Your Excellency, Prince Qiongta, please stay away for now, and let me have a private talk with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Zhongjie and Qiongta looked at each other, nodded slowly, turned and walked out the door.

Di Renjie said to Nalu kindly: "Your Highness, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Nalu let out a long breath, nodded, and slowly sat on the king's chair.

Di Renjie said: "The reason why I asked Lord Zhongjie and Prince Qiongta to leave is to give Her Royal Highness a leeway."

Di Renjie also turned around and sat down.

Na Lu's eyes narrowed, and she nodded slowly: "I understand Di Gong's intention. Thank you very much."

Di Renjie said: "But there is one thing, please answer truthfully, Your Highness."

Nalu said, "What's the matter?"

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said, "Before the incident happened, apart from the former king and His Royal Highness, were there any outsiders living in the palace?"

Na Lu was taken aback, looked up at Di Renjie and asked, "What does this mean?"

Li Yuanfang got up and said: "Ming people don't speak dark words. There is a Turkic emissary in the palace who instigated the king to prepare to secretly replace the gift of marriage that the emperor of Zhou gave to Ji Li Khan-the golden market of sea beasts. Khan was killed by an arrow, and a war broke out between Da Zhou and the Turks..."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and his voice became louder. Wang Mang and Di Renjie hurriedly winked at him.

Na Lu snorted, and said dissatisfiedly: "The former king chastised him as the king of a country. It seems inappropriate for General Li to criticize so bluntly!"

Li Yuanfang slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What kind of king of a country, to tell you the truth, the Turks can destroy your Yuezhi, and my Celestial Dynasty is even better. As long as my Liangzhou Wei army arrives, in a blink of an eye, your small country will be flattened." !"

Na Lu was so frightened that she curled up in the chair and said in a trembling voice, "You, what are you going to do?"

Wang Mang stood up, patted Li Yuanfang's shoulder and said, "Yuanfang, don't get angry, sit down."

Li Yuanfang sat on the chair angrily.
