Chapter 497 Misunderstanding
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
Zhou Chongzheng took a deep breath. He was very familiar with this kind of situation.
Every time someone comes, there are always new things happening.
Who will be the one coming back this time?
Just as he was thinking, Wang Yuan's figure suddenly appeared.
Except for Lin Zhiqing, everyone was a little surprised.
Why is the Chief Censor here?
No, there is someone following behind him!
Zhou Chongzheng frowned and looked at the woman behind him.
At this time, the envoy from Daliang had already widened his eyes.
Wang Shuyi looked directly at the envoy from Daliang and walked out from behind Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan glanced at the corpse on the ground and closed his eyes when he saw the scars on the corpse's hands.
Then, he looked at the bright yellow hem of the dress behind the curtain, bowed, and spoke:
"Your Highness, I came here today because my daughter has something to say."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, your humble servant Wang Shuyi, pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Shuyi knelt on the ground.
Wang Yuan stood aside, seemingly just saying hello, and didn't say anything else.
The prince raised his hand and motioned Wang Shuyi to stand up.
Wang Shuyi stood up and looked at Zhou Chongzheng with a firm look in her eyes:
"Sir, I was also present when the envoy and Miss Lin Er had a conflict."
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Wang Shuyi looked at the Daliang envoy with a sharp look:
"I am the woman that Miss Lin Er saved. I am the only one who knows the whole story."
Everyone's eyes instantly shifted to the face of the Daliang envoy.
The envoy from Daliang was shocked. He had never thought that the woman in front of him was the daughter of the Chief Censor.
Originally, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that if he found the woman in front of him, he could use threats and bribes to make her testify against Lin Zhiqing.
But how could the daughter of the Chief Censor be threatened so easily?
Things are getting troublesome!
But even so, there was no unnatural look on his face.
Wang Shuyi saw this without any surprise. She nodded and signaled to Lin Zhiqing, then looked at the dancer who had just given false testimony:
"Just now you said you saw Miss Lin Er kill that follower with your own eyes. Could you tell me more about it?"
The dancer swallowed and was about to speak again when she was interrupted by Wang Shuyi again.
"Okay, why are you so nervous?" Wang Shuyi frowned:
"I was the one who inflicted the wound on that follower's hand. After Second Miss Lin saved me, she herself fell into danger."
"He asked me to go ahead, but this follower grabbed my wrist. I was terrified and hit the follower's wrist with a stone."
"Ms. Lin didn't do anything during the whole incident."
"You are lying!" The envoy from Daliang could not stand it anymore and raised his voice.
But to everyone, this actually seemed to be a way of encouraging themselves.
The Daliang envoy also realized this. He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and then spoke:
"First of all, there's something wrong with what you two are saying. Why did I arrest Miss Wang? It's because she entered the bookstore without permission..."
Hearing this, Wang Yuan subconsciously frowned, but Wang Shuyi mercilessly interrupted the Daliang envoy:
"Excuse me, sir, did you see me come out of the bookstore with your own eyes?"
The Daliang envoy was silent for a while, but still nodded without confidence.
Wang Shuyi sneered, "My father is very strict with me. I just went to the temple to burn incense that day."
"It's because it's dangerous for women to be outside that I wear men's clothing. I'm sure Miss Lin Er also has concerns, so she chose to dress as a man."
"You see, even when we're dressed as men, we still encounter some bad guys. It turns out we did the right thing."
"I never thought the envoy would be so cruel and ruthless as to risk a life to frame Miss Lin Er."
The Daliang envoy was really starting to lose his temper at this point: "Why would I frame her?!"
"Your Excellency, why are you so anxious? If you want to give reasons, there are many." Wang Shuyi pressed on:
"Marquis Changning is a reason, Marquis Wangshu is a reason, and losing to Miss Lin at the palace banquet a few days ago is also a reason!"
"If not, I really can't understand why you would use such despicable means to frame a woman."
"I was clearly present. If I wasn't there, wouldn't you have been able to frame Miss Lin Er and mistreat her?"
Wang Shuyi's words were very sharp, almost exposing the grudge between the Lin family and Daliang.
If the Lin family said this, it would be absolutely unacceptable.
But no one would blame Wang Shuyi, just as no one would suspect that the Chief Censor's words were biased.
This father and daughter are so handsome!
Seeing that the time had come, Lin Zhiqing stepped forward and said:
"Your Excellency, it was you who tried to break into the bookshop. I was on my way to close my mother's shop and happened to be on Qixiang Street."
"Unfortunately, I just happened to see a lively scene."
"You wanted to take the dancer to the bookstore, but when you were rejected, you became angry and humiliated. You happened to see Miss Wang passing by, so you flirted with her and forced your attendants to take her to the Sifang Pavilion."
Wang Shuyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's it!"
Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath:
"I met Miss Wang once before at the Spring Banquet. I can't just stand by and watch. That's why I'm stopping you."
The Daliang envoy frowned. "If that's the case, why didn't you mention that this matter was related to Miss Wang?"
"If Miss Wang had come forward earlier, wouldn't it have been quicker to prove your innocence?"
Lin Zhiqing frowned, "I know Miss Wang, but I didn't know she was the daughter of the Chief Censor. Where should I go to find her?"
"Miss Wang didn't even show up at the palace banquet. She usually stays at home and rarely goes out. I only know of this one person."
Lin Zhiqing's words are highly credible.
Everyone present knew that Wang Yuan was very strict in disciplining Wang Shuyi, and Miss Wang had never attended most of the banquets in Beijing.
Seeing that most people seemed to have believed Lin Zhiqing, the Daliang envoy thought quickly, pursed his lips and said:
"There may be a misunderstanding."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Zhiqing was declared successful.
The envoy from Daliang gave in!
There are too many loopholes in this matter, and further explanation will only make people disgusted.
The envoy from Daliang did not show any expression on his face, but he had gritted his teeth.
He wanted to take this opportunity to teach Lin Zhiqing a lesson in order to reduce the impact of the recent newspaper reports.
In addition, his follower died so suddenly that he believed it was Lin Zhiqing's doing. In addition...
He glanced at the platform and sighed slightly in his heart.
Wang Shuyi is indeed a variable.
Who knew that the daughter of the Chief Censor would suddenly appear?
Even if someone wanted to help him, they would probably be powerless.
If this matter continues to escalate, it will be bad.
But what does Lin Zhiqing want to do?
The Daliang envoy looked at Lin Zhiqing and felt that the expression on this woman's face was too calm.
He couldn't understand for a moment how things had developed to this point.
Could it be that he was wrong, and the follower was not killed by Lin Zhiqing?
Then who could it be?
