Chapter 386: Battle for Time!
This made Lin Zhiqing confirm another thing.
Yan Yu should not have fallen into the hands of the Zhenyuan Marquisate or the Dali Temple Minister.
The previous incident happened too suddenly, and her focus was on the retrial. She did not think carefully about the deeper meaning of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion pushing the retrial forward.
Yan Snipe!
Yan Wu is the key!
From the perspective of Zhenyuan Hou Jiang Yunhe, Yan Yu has a close relationship with Zheng Kuo, his origins are a mystery, and he is the biggest threat.
If Yan Yu is arrested, then this threat will no longer exist and there will be no need to reiterate it in advance.
There is only one possibility, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is afraid that Yan Yu will turn the tide, so they want to take advantage of the disappearance of this key figure to resolve Lin Congrong's matter!
Realizing Jiang Yunhe's true intention, Lin Zhiqing frowned and looked at the Jiang family father and son who were sitting on the Diaoyutai.
No wonder these two are so calm.
As long as Yan Yu does not show up, there will be no evidence to prove that the Jiang family is related to the Lin Congrong case.
Jiang Yunhe noticed Lin Zhiqing's gaze, turned his head to look at her, and showed a heartbroken expression.
It was as if the Lin family had done something and betrayed the Jiang family.
Lin Zhiqing sneered.
The Jiang family father and son wanted this matter to end before Yan Wu came back, but she refused!
She leaned forward and asked, "Does the Master still remember Liu Mang?"
Zhou Chongzheng certainly remembered, but he didn't want to mention Liu Mang on this occasion, so he said:
"The Liu Mang incident came to an end several months ago and has no direct connection to Lin Congrong's case. Please do not bring up irrelevant individuals in court."
Lin Zhiqing raised his voice:
"Sir, the matter of Liu Mang seems unrelated to my father's, but in fact, it is all manipulated by the Zhenyuan Marquisate."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
No one expected that Lin Zhiqing would point the finger at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at this time.
Although this three-court retrial was a war between the Lin and Jiang families, Lin Zhiqing was a little too impatient.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Jiang Yunhe was surprised for only a moment, then knocked on the chair.
Jiang Liuyun immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, Liu Mang has no relationship with my Jiang family. Please understand clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhiqing immediately spoke:
"Prince Jiang's words are really funny. Everyone knows that Lord Zhou found a flute player in your house."
"The flute player is Liu Mang's puppet. Isn't it obvious enough that he appeared in the Jiang family?"
Lin Zhiqing brought up the old story again, successfully reminding everyone present of the Jiang family's previous hiding of the flute player.
The Jiang family really can't wash away this fact.
Jiang Liuyun frowned:
"The Dali Temple has already discovered that the person harboring the flute player is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has nothing to do with my Jiang family."
"Lin Zhiqing, are you doubting the judgment of my Dali Temple?" Zhou Chongzheng's face was not very good.
"Sir, I dare not, but the flute player is still here. He is the evidence. Why not ask him to come and ask?" Lin Zhiqing said:
"Everyone has seen that flute player. Liu Mang can control a person with just the flute and other things."
"I have reason to suspect that Liu Mang might have been behind the scenes in my father's case."
After these words were spoken, even if Zhou Chongzheng wanted to change the subject by saying that the Liu Mang incident had nothing to do with the Lin Congli incident, it would not work.
The Minister of Justice saw some surprise on the faces of the Jiang family father and son, and couldn't help but chime in:
"According to the law, if Lin Zhiqing wants to provide evidence, then the flute player will be the witness. It's feasible."
Although Wang Yuan did not express his opinion, his silence actually meant that he agreed with Lin Zhiqing's approach.
On the contrary, if Zhou Chongzheng did not allow the witness, the flute player, to come to court, it would be against the law.
Zhou Chongzheng knew that he couldn't avoid this matter, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Flute player!"
Jiang Liuyun looked at Lin Zhiqing and did not miss the smile on Lin Zhiqing's lips.
The incident happened too suddenly, catching the Jiang family off guard.
Jiang Liuyun was a little unsure of Lin Zhiqing's thoughts.
Lin Zhiqing ignored Jiang Liuyun's gaze. Her original purpose was the same as her current purpose.
Delaying time will prevent the three-court trial from reaching a conclusion and postpone the time.
This goes against the Jiang family's idea of cutting the Gordian knot.
The Jiang family wanted to take advantage of Yan Wu's disappearance to directly deal with Lin Congrong.
Then Lin Zhiqing would make the water more muddy and ensure that Lin Congrong's case would not be resolved in this trial.
From the perspective of the Jiang family father and son, Yan Yu was enough to expose the problems in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
But from Lin Zhiqing's perspective, Yan Yu's words and actions alone could not overturn Lin Congrong's verdict.
She still needs some time.
Therefore, she had no choice but to burn her boats and use the incident of the flute player to force the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion into the water.
Only when things become more complicated and cannot be fully investigated today can the time be postponed.
During the waiting time, everyone has different thoughts in their mind.
As we all know, the flute player has no consciousness of his own.
How can he be a witness?
Everyone had a big question mark in their hearts.
After a cup of tea, Lin Shian brought the flute player to the court.
Zhou Chongzheng looked at the flute player and frowned: "Come here, verify your identity."
Soon, people from the Dali Temple came forward to verify the identity of the flute player.
There are very few times when identity verification is needed on weekdays, almost never.
The reason why this happened today was that the flute player in front of me was too unfamiliar.
The previous flute player had white hair and was very thin, like an old man.
Now the flute player is clean from head to toe and looks like a handsome young man.
He stood in the lobby with his eyes closed. Someone who didn't know him might think he was asleep.
After the people from the Dali Temple confirmed that the flute player was still the same flute player, Zhou Chongzheng spoke:
"Lin Zhiqing, the flute player is ignorant and unconscious, how can he be a witness?"
"Who said he is ignorant and unconscious?" Lin Zhiqing took out the flute and turned it in his hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuyun felt something was wrong and immediately stepped forward:
"You have the ability to control the flute player, but how can we know if you will control the flute player to say something completely false and frame our Jiang family?"
"Has any of you ever seen the flute player speak before?" Lin Zhiqing asked.
The whole audience was silent.
No one has ever seen it.
Lin Zhiqing then spoke: "Even if I can control his actions, I can't control his words."
"Liu Mang, who controlled him at the beginning, couldn't do it, and neither could I, Lin Zhiqing."
"Besides, can't everyone tell whether he's being controlled or not?"
After she finished speaking, she picked up the jade flute.
As she opened her mouth, a melodious and soothing music came out.
The Jiang family father and son were extremely vigilant, always on guard against being hypnotized by Lin Zhiqing.
But Lin Zhiqing's eyes were fixed on the flute player.
As her rhythm became faster, the people around her were surprised to find that the flute player slowly opened her eyes!
Lin Zhiqing was delighted and changed the way he played.
Zhou Chong was thinking of the amazing destructive power of the flute player and waved his hand.
Soon, a line of people blocked their way.
But after the flute player opened his eyes, he did not attack anyone, but looked at his hands.
His eyes were full of confusion.
The flute sound stopped abruptly at this moment.
