Chapter 281 Seeing an Old Friend Again
"Hurry and go out the back door, young lady. I will hold off the torturers while you go to your uncle's house and seek his protection."
Jiang Nuannuan also thought of her uncle. Her uncle was an official under the Prime Minister, and her aunt was the Prime Minister's concubine's daughter. The two mansions were close to each other, so they were the best people who could protect her.
So she took Xiao He out through the back door, but she didn't expect that there was already a group of people standing there.
This is not someone from the torture chamber, but a soldier.
The leading guard said to Jiang Nuannuan, "Miss, you are also a soldier. You should know our rules. If we let you go, it would be a violation of military orders."
Jiang Zan wanted to break out, but when he saw the number of people, he was powerless.
When the people in the prison saw that no one came out for a long time, they knew that the man had run away, so they chased him to the backyard and saw that he had been stopped. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"We were going to send it to King Cong anyway, so now is the perfect time."
The guard chief said to the head of the torture chamber, "Master Song, please come with me. His Highness has instructed that you participate in the interrogation."
Song Lin agreed and followed them to King Cong.
When Jiang Nuannuan saw that it was King Cong who came to catch her, she couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.
She was afraid of the torture chamber, and she knew their methods, but Prince Cong was different. He had always been kind and would not do anything out of line.
Sure enough, Cong Wang smiled at her and said, "Miss Jiang, thank you for your hard work. It was really urgent, so I asked you to come up so late."
Jiang Nuannuan acted cute, looking at Prince Cong innocently and said, "Your Highness Prince Cong, why did you ask me to come up so late? I stay at home every day, so I don't think I can help you with your important matter here."
Prince Cong led her to the door of a room and said, "It's not what happened in the past few days, it's something that happened before."
His tone was extremely slow and full of majesty, and the smile on his face was gone.
"What happened before? What happened before?"
"You'll find out when you go in."
Yuwen Zhao pushed the door open, and Jiang Nuannuan was stunned when she saw the two people in the room.
Yuwen Zhao entered the room, and then Song Lin, the judge from the criminal case, also entered the room.
"Miss Jiang, do you know these two people?" Yu Wenzhao asked.
Jiang Nuannuan shook her head: "I don't recognize him."
Yu Wenzhao nodded and said, "That's right, Miss Jiang, a lady from a wealthy family, who never leaves the main gate or the secondary gate, naturally doesn't recognize these servants of the Cheng'an Marquis' Mansion."
"What do the people from Cheng'an Marquis Mansion have to do with me?" Jiang Nuannuan was still struggling.
She looked at the scarred man in front of her, puzzled for a moment, and then took a closer look before recognizing him as Lu Bin.
Jiang Nuannuan was slightly stunned.
Lu Bin looked at her with a calm look in his eyes, because he knew that Jiang Nuannuan could not survive here. He did not want Jiang Nuannuan to die alone, he wanted everyone in the Jiang family to die, just like in the Cheng'an Marquis Mansion, all of them should be beheaded in Xingtai.
"Then why did you call me here? Why did you ask me to see these two men? My father is not home, and I am still unmarried. You are treating my father with disrespect. When he returns, I will confront you before the king."
Lu Bin sneered, "Miss Jiang, you don't really think I can do this alone! Wei Zhuo and I both work in the Cheng'an Marquis' Mansion. You probably don't know that we have another layer of relationship. We are brothers, so my brother knows everything I do. He tried to persuade me, but I didn't listen."
"So Lu Bin was able to escape, and Wei Zhuo also ran away, because he knew what was going to happen." Feng Aoqing asked Han Lang on the roof.
"Sit still! Don't roll off!" Han Lang didn't care about Wei Zhuo. He only cared whether she was cold, whether her skirt was dirty, and whether she would roll off.
"You think we met three times without anyone knowing, but my brother is a very smart man. He arranged witnesses every time. Of course, the witnesses' words are not enough to prove anything. I still have this."
Lu Bin took out a cloth bag and asked Yuwen Zhao if he could open it.
Yuwen Zhao nodded slightly, then opened the cloth bag. Inside was a pair of brand new but stained embroidered shoes.
In Tianyao, an unmarried lady's embroidered shoes and inner garments would not be thrown out of the house even if they were rotten, but would be hidden in a special place in the house. Therefore, it was obvious where the pair of embroidered shoes in Lu Bin's hand came from.
This pair of shoes was thrown on the roadside by Jiang Nuannuan when they met for the last time.
The Jiang family is a wealthy family, and they have fixed embroiderers. Just by comparing, they can tell whether the flowers on the embroidered shoes are made by their embroiderer. The embroiderer doesn't even need to ask, as she can directly confirm and affirm that the embroidered shoes are made by her, and point out the unique features that other embroiderers don't have.
As for the smell of rotten sea fish on the shoes, it further proved that Jiang Nuannuan had been to the meeting place.
This is the only place in the entire capital where you can be exposed to the smell of rotten fish.
"I did go there to buy fish. You can't accuse me of meeting him. You can accuse me of murder, you can accuse me of arson, but you absolutely cannot accuse me of meeting with a man alone."
"Don't even mention that you, a young lady from a wealthy family, went to buy fish in person. Even if you went, you would know that there was no fish for sale that day. Because they closed the store three days ago and returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors. And on the last day of business three days ago, your family's chef went to buy fish, so he knew about this." Song Lin said, hugging his arms.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it." Song Lin waved his hand, and the subordinates of the prison threw another person in. It was Xiao He.
Xiao He was just an ordinary maid. She had suffered countless punishments from Feng Nuannuan and her body was covered with bruises, so they didn't need to beat her. She told everyone about Jiang Nuannuan's actions.
She exchanged this for her freedom, and from then on she was no longer a servant of the Jiang family, and no longer had to be beaten by the young lady of the Jiang family.
Jiang Nuannuan was speechless. She thought for a moment and asked, "Okay, I gave the evidence to Lu Bin, but wasn't I just trying to get rid of a threat to the people? Marquis Cheng'an enriched himself while building the building and even caused harm to people. Shouldn't someone speak out?"
"Who gave you the things?" Song Lin asked.
"I don't know either. It was placed in front of my door that day." Jiang Nuannuan replied.
Song Lin growled, "What a joke! If he wanted to expose the Marquis of Cheng'an, why didn't he send him directly to the execution grounds, but to your home instead? Everyone in the capital knows that General Yongqi is not at home, but is fighting in the north beside the Crown Prince."
Jiang Nuannuan heard her father and then the prince.
"It's those evidences that were originally hidden in General Yongqi's mansion, but because of the arranged marriage, you wanted to bring down the Cheng'an Marquis's mansion, so you took it out!" Song Lin guessed boldly.
Song Lin asked again: "As a woman, you certainly wouldn't think of doing these things. Who taught you to do this? Tell me one by one!"
