The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 255 Mysterious Inquisitor
Hearing what Fu Lingtian said, Jinfeng seemed to have that wonderful and happy picture in front of her eyes. Although she was very reluctant, she followed Fu Lingtian's arrangement and waited for him to close his eyes and fall asleep before quietly getting up.

Uncle Zhong quietly sent Jinfeng to the back door of the inn, and Jinfeng didn't want him to see him off.

"Master sent someone to protect me, you should go back and take care of Xiaotian."

Uncle Zhong was worried: "Madam, it's getting late, if you encounter a villain and make a mistake, you will be very sad."

"With me here, who dares to touch her?" A deep voice came.

Uncle Zhong turned his head and saw Fu Tao coming out from the shadows, and said with a smile, "Master is here? This old servant will go back and take care of the young master."

Uncle Zhong turned back.

Jinfeng said in surprise, "Master."

Fu Tao stretched out his hand, caged Jinfeng into his wide cloak, and said slightly reproachfully: "Didn't you say don't call me master, why can't you remember?"

Like a girl, Jinfeng said a little nervously and shyly: "But, but..."

"Xiaotian is our child, he really looks like you." Fu Tao hugged Jinfeng's shoulders and walked slowly forward: "Jinfeng, you should get to know me again."

Fu Tao was so kind and patient with her, Jinfeng thought he was such a good man, why did she leave him for so long before?
"Tao...I saw that Xiaotian's injuries are so pitiful. When he comes back, we should treat him and Qingchen better." Jinfeng felt that it was a bit awkward to call Fu Tao like this, but when it came to Fu Lingtian, she Just forgot these things: "Just now, I suddenly felt that he was my child, my own son. I applied medicine to him, and seeing those wounds, I felt so much pain in my heart, as if I remembered something and heard him I called my mother when I was a child, but I can't remember anything. How could I forget my own child, and you. "

Fu Tao's body froze for a moment, and then he said kindly: "If you can't remember it, don't think about it. It's my fault that you have suffered so many years outside. Fortunately, you are back, and there will be no more troubles in the future." That kind of thing happened."

Jinfeng leaned sweetly beside Fu Tao and said, "Tao, I never thought that I would be so happy, have such a good husband-in-law, and a filial son and daughter-in-law, am I dreaming?"

"It's not a dream, you will be happier in the future." Fu Tao thought, I hope she never wakes up from this dream, it is a perfect dream.

Luo Xiuyuan came to the trial in person, and this time the trial for the death of the little prince was extraordinarily careful.

Those maids were clung to Luo Qingchen before, but the previous panic had gradually calmed down, and their testimony became smoother and smoother, even they themselves believed that the facts at that time were the way they fabricated them.

Who doesn't know that Luo Qingchen is Fu Lingtian's darling, and he has never seen someone who dotes on his wife so much.

And Fu Lingtian is the only heir of the Duke of Zhen, the future Duke of Zhen, now the military power of the Fu family even the Xiao family is afraid.After the king rewarded Luo Qingchen with a stick, he never used torture again. First, he was cautious about this matter, and second, he didn't want to fall out with Duke Zhen.

Then the king will not easily sentence Luo Qingchen to death, as long as those court ladies insist that Luo Qingchen did it, they have a great chance of surviving, and at most they will pass with some physical pain.

These court ladies are too naive.

Therefore, this time when Luo Xiuyuan came in person, they still clung to the previous confession, not wanting Luo Xiuyuan to order someone to separate them and ask someone to ask new questions.

The chief interrogator first asked the little prince as usual, who had been close to the little prince that day, who had been alone near the little prince, who was the first to notice that the little prince was strange... The answers he got were the same as before.

Next, the chief interrogator asked everyone what they were doing from the day Concubine Jia left Xiangyun Palace until the little prince had an accident, and someone had to prove that what this person said was true.

Those maids racked their brains one by one to remember who could prove that what they said was true.

Trials came and went, and finally the doubts fell on two people.

The little prince's nanny and court lady Qiuyue.

The nanny once pulled the quilt for the little prince, while Qiuyue was alone in the Xiangyun Palace for a while, without anyone else.

Qiuyue cried out for injustice desperately: "Your servant did not harm the little prince, your servant has never done anything, Wang Shangming learns from you."

The nanny also cried out: "The servant is worried that the quilt will cover the little prince's face and hinder his breathing, so he went to look at it, but it was only a moment, how could the servant poison him? And the little prince has been sucking the slave's milk since he was born." , the servant girl's affection for the little prince is much deeper than that of the maids in Xiangyun Palace, how can she bear such a murderous hand!"

What both of them said made sense, Luo Xiuyuan pondered for a while and asked, "You have listened to it for so long, but what did you discover?"

The difference in the courtroom this day is that there is a screen on the side, and the screen is always quiet behind the screen, but everyone guesses that there must be someone listening behind the screen. This person is not convenient to show up, but it must be the key to solving the case. .

Sure enough, a clear voice came from behind the screen and said: "Your Majesty, I have already made up my mind about this matter, can I ask you a question?"

Luo Xiuyuan nodded.

The people behind the screen asked the nanny and Qiuyue the same question respectively: "Are you sure you didn't do anything else? I'm talking about everything, including any slight movements you made during this period."

Both grandma and Qiuyue insisted that they did nothing else.

The person behind the screen sneered and said: "Since you are so sure, then I can conclude who is responsible for the death of the little prince. Please bring all the palace people of the Xiangyun Palace, the king, and I will announce the murderer immediately." and the cause of the death of the little prince."

The palace people in Xiangyun Palace, including Luo Qingchen, were brought up, and they knelt on the ground densely.

"Young Madam Fu, please repeat carefully what you said before you left Xiangyun Palace on the day of the accident, without missing a single word."

It was the first time Luo Qingchen was brought to the hall today, and the voice sounded familiar, but he had no idea who this person was and where he had seen it before.

Luo Qingchen just repeated what he told the palace people to take good care of the little prince that day.

The person behind the screen raised his voice and asked the palace servants: "What Mrs. Fu said is the truth."

Those palace people didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this man's gourd. Although they felt something was wrong, they couldn't discuss it in class, so they had to answer one after another. Luo Qingchen did give such advice at that time.

The person behind the screen affirmed: "Your Majesty, after careful investigation and careful analysis, you can now reply to your Majesty. Except for Mrs. Fu Shao, everyone in Xiangyun Palace is a murderer. Among them, Nanny and Qiuyue are the most vicious, and they have committed the most serious crimes." .”

"You are talking nonsense, why do you say that the servant killed the little prince, and why do you say that the servant has committed a heinous crime?" Qiuyue was the first to shout unconvinced.

The nanny pointed at Luo Qingchen unwillingly and said: "Just because she is the young wife of the Duke of Zhen, can she be exonerated? As for poisoning, she has the best chance. It is clearly her. He held a grudge for not helping him, this time he happened to be poisoned and then left, so as to make an alibi and plant all the disasters on us, and let us be scapegoats."

These palace people wholeheartedly believe that the person behind the screen is partial to Luo Qingchen, and the king seems to attach great importance to his opinion, anyway, he is dead, why should Luo Qingchen stay out of it?They all called out.

Luo Xiuyuan also had doubts in his heart, but these meek servants actually roared in the courtroom like this. He said angrily: "Whoever talks too much will be beaten to death immediately, and there is no need for further trial and conviction."

With this sentence, those palace people shut their mouths immediately in fright, but all the resentful eyes in their eyes focused on Luo Qingchen.

Luo Qingchen said indifferently as before: "This lord must be sure of what he said. No matter what the identity of the official is, it is not worth the life of the little prince. Even if he wants to get rid of the crime for the official, if it is unreasonable, why would he do it?" So obvious? To please the government of Zhen Guo? Isn’t he afraid that the king will behead him for the crime of cheating the king for personal gain?”

Those palace people who said this were speechless.

If he really wants to cover up and show favoritism, it's too obvious in front of Luo Xiuyuan. It's really not something someone who can be so highly valued and able to go to such a hall can do it.

The people behind the screen had already seen Luo Qingchen through the gap.

Among the dense crowd of people kneeling on the ground, she stood upright, her face calm and neither sad nor happy.

Compared to meeting her many years ago, she has completely lost her childishness. Even in prison clothes, with such a luxurious face and proud demeanor, it seems that she is so different and full of youth.

I am afraid that only a woman like her can be fearless in the face of danger, face being questioned and shielded, and calmly declare that she and the people behind the screen have a clear conscience.

"Then what's your reasoning?" Luo Xiuyuan also frowned.

Apparently, he also had some doubts about whether this courtier who was said to be a judge of cases like a god had secretly received benefits from the Duke of Zhenguo. How could he say that Luo Qingchen was innocent alone?But it is more important to find out the facts, let's listen to this person's explanation.

The humanity behind the screen said: "Actually, this matter is very simple. It's winter now, and everyone needs to use braziers to keep warm. After being ordered by the king to investigate the case, I did many experiments at the scene of the crime before I got such an answer." The little prince was indeed poisoned, but no one intentionally poisoned him."

There was an uproar, and those palace people took the opportunity to cry for grievances.

The people behind the screen ignored the voices shouting for grievances below, and only saw Luo Qingchen still kneeling on the ground quietly, with only occasional glances, passing by the screen with some doubts.

He thought to himself, Young Madam, I didn't help you, the one who cleans up will clean up himself, I'm just telling the truth.If you haven't done it, I should return your innocence, which is fair.

He raised his voice and said: "But, except for Mrs. Fu, you are all accomplices. Because the culprit who killed the little prince was... the charcoal in the brazier! As palace servants, you are lazy when you see Concubine Jia and Mrs. Fu are not around." I don’t listen to Mrs. Fu’s repeated advice, and have to open the window for some time to breathe, but while the master and the person in charge are away, drinking, chatting... Seeing the little prince sleeping, bullying him when he was young, don’t treat him With your own safety in mind, it finally caused a catastrophe!"
