What's the matter? Why do you want to keep me locked up for the whole night?
This thousand taels is just a meal!
If I were to go out, I could easily spend a thousand taels of wine and eat a lot in a month.
"Fa Zheng, please explain."
Lin Che sat down in the front seat without any unnecessary movement.
A female Mirror Guard standing nearby came forward to pour tea for Lin Che without being told.
You know what, this woman looks really good.
Especially when wearing this kind of tight-fitting outfit with a waist, it is very pleasing to the eye.
"Thanks."
Lin Che smiled and nodded in thanks to the beautiful Mirror Guard.
Duke Qianling saw all of this, but he seemed to be used to it.
"Our company received a report that the day before yesterday, the Crown Prince of Zhenguo Prefecture, Lin Yaoguang, broke into Jing'an Prefecture and clashed with a group of Confucian scholars. Is that correct?"
Lin Che stroked the teacup and said, "That's right. This Lin Yaoguang is so abominable. He broke into my residence for no reason and even killed someone. So many students were watching..."
Lin Che didn't care about that and quickly told everything.
Duke Qianling listened very carefully. After listening, he said calmly:
"This incident has a huge impact. The students have reported it to His Majesty. His Majesty has already issued an order for the Mirror Division to fully investigate this matter."
Duke Qianling paused deliberately before asking:
"Lin Yaoguang was severely injured by the students' use of righteous energy. He was attacked on his way back. Did you know about this?"
"What? Really? Haha."
Lin Che looked as if he had just realized something. He covered his mouth and chuckled:
"So what happened to him? Is he dead?"
"Don't you know whether he is dead or not?" Duke Qian Ling suddenly asked back.
"How would I know?" Lin Che simply played dumb.
Oh shit.
It seems that Mingjingsi really came here for this matter.
But why would they suspect me?
They probably don't have any evidence.
Duke Qian Ling whispered again, "Lin Yaoguang wasn't just ambushed; five hundred thousand silver notes were also missing from his pocket. That's no small sum."
"Originally, our Mirror Division wouldn't have intervened in this matter. On the one hand, His Majesty has inquired about it, and on the other hand, according to reports from residents near the crime scene, the attacker could be a beastman or a demon. So, we have no choice but to intervene in this matter."
"Did you do this?"
Lin Che still shook his head. "Honestly, I've been thinking about killing Lin Yaoguang all the time. If you've investigated us, you'd know that Lin Yaoguang and I are like water and fire. But unfortunately, my cultivation level can't beat a fourth-grade prince."
"I have evidence."
Qian Linggong looked at Lin Che with a very strange expression, like a cat looking at a mouse, but also with a hint of admiration.
He stretched out his hand lightly, and the female Mirror Guard next to him came over with a piece of clothing.
That piece of clothing was dirty and covered in dust.
Lin Che took a quick glance and immediately determined that this was the servant's clothes he had worn the day before yesterday.
He casually stuffed it into a passing vegetable vendor's cart.
How did we get to Mingjingsi?
"What evidence?" Lin Che asked, still puzzled.
Duke Qianling smiled calmly, and with his chin gestured to the female Mirror Guard beside him, he said:
"Yang Qiuyue has been with me for less than five years. Listen to what she says."
Yang Qiuyue quickly spread out the piece of clothing, carefully observing its details, and quickly analyzed:
"This piece of clothing was found on a cart carrying fruits and vegetables. Two days ago at noon, they discovered this extra piece of clothing while checking at the city gate. The guard noticed something unusual and reported it to the higher authorities."
"After our investigation, many eyewitnesses confirmed that the man who attacked Lin Yaoguang that day was wearing this very piece of clothing. The dust on the clothing and the smell of dried fish drying at the scene are consistent. We can conclude that this piece of clothing is the same one the murderer wore that day."
"When the murderer fled the crime scene, he didn't have time to deal with the clothes, so he stuffed them directly into the farmer's cart."
Lin Che remained expressionless. "Is this evidence? Just because of a piece of clothing from an unknown source, you think I attacked Lin Yaoguang?"
Yang Qiuyue didn't say anything and started looking through the clothes:
"The material of the clothes is of the highest quality. It's different from other fine silks and satins. It has double stitching and is mixed with gold silk. This is standard royal cloth!"
"Judging from the design of the garment, it has many pockets. This garment was made for people of low status. Most of them were servants in the mansions of high-ranking officials. They had such fine fabrics, but because they had to work constantly, servants' clothes had more pockets."
"The cloth is royal, but the embroidery isn't. Judging by the stitching on the sleeves, it's been embroidered three times. In all of Tiandu City, there are only five tailors who embroider like this."
"This is a new dress. I believe that if we take this dress and investigate, we will find out who uses royal cloth and who uses royal cloth to tailor clothes for servants. We can find out by asking at the tailor shop."
Holy crap!!
Is this possible?
Lin Che looked at the dress and felt speechless for a moment.
No way? Just one piece of clothing is enough to expose me?
When Lord Qianling saw that Lin Che didn't say anything, he continued with great interest:
"I remember that Jing'an Bo was a hostage for ten years and made great contributions. Your Majesty rewarded Jing'an Bo with a batch of cloth, right?"
