Wei Chenzhi asked, "you only saw me holding a dagger in my hand, but you didn't see me killing with a dagger, did you?"
Laifu was a little flustered, and his voice trembled more and more.
"I see! It's clear that you killed someone! "
Wei Chen frowned: "why did you lie and frame me?"
"I didn't. I did see it with my own eyes," Lai Fu kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. "If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, you can ask the deputy commander. He saw it at that time!"
The deputy commander stood up and said, "when Wei Chen came in, he did see Wei Chen with a murder weapon in his hand."
Wei Chen asked, "is it a Murderer with a murder weapon?"
"If you're not a murderer, why are you holding a murder weapon?"
"I just saw it by accident. I picked it up and had a look."
"These are all your one-sided words, not enough to believe."
"Laifu's words are also one-sided."
Empress Dowager Yan interrupted: "all right, AI family doesn't want you to quarrel here. AI family just wants to know who almost killed the prince?"
Deputy leader Tong said: "the witness and material evidence are conclusive. Wei Chen is highly suspected. Weichen suggested that he be handed over to the Ministry of punishment for review."
The Minister of punishment is Xu Yizhi's disciple. Wei Chen knows that if he falls into the Ministry of punishment, nine times out of ten he will die.
He gritted his teeth: "empress dowager, Weichen has something to say."
Empress Dowager Yan said, "what are you talking about?"
"Wei Chen went out to check the situation after hearing the sound of heavy objects falling. After I went out, there was no one in the hospital, and all the palace maids, eunuchs and bodyguards disappeared."
The deputy commander explained, "at that time, the empress dowager, the Empress Dowager and Her Highness the prince were on lunch break. Ministers didn't dare to disturb, so they hid away."
"No matter how far you hide, you should leave some bodyguards around the prince? Otherwise, in danger, who will protect the prince? "
The deputy commander was speechless for a moment. He bowed his head and said, "empress dowager, it's Wei Chen's dereliction of duty."
Empress Dowager Yan ignored the deputy commander and motioned Weichen to continue.
Wei Chen said, "when I was close to this room, I saw a masked man running out of the room. I asked him who he was. Instead of answering, he accelerated and ran away. I was worried about the safety of the crown prince and didn't catch up. Now I think that the masked man should be the assassin."
The deputy commander raised his voice and asked, "since you found the assassin, why don't you call someone?"
"As I said, I was worried about the safety of the crown prince and wanted to confirm the situation of the crown prince first. Besides, I didn't even enter the house at that time. I didn't know that the prince was assassinated. I didn't expect that the man was an assassin at all. I really didn't expect that the assassin was so bold that he dared to assassinate the crown prince in broad daylight. After that, he dared to leave the door in a swagger, and no one stopped him on the way. "
The last sentence changed the faces of Empress Dowager Yan and empress yuan.
Empress yuan has recovered her composure at this time.
She wiped away her tears and asked Wei Chen.
"Can you see the assassin clearly?"
Wei Chen answered truthfully: "he is wearing dark gray short clothes and is about seven feet tall. He is tall and tall. He walks very fast... By the way, his walking posture is a little strange. He is a man who is used to riding a horse."
Generally, people who ride horses all year round will have a little circled legs. At this time, it is a common problem left by riding.
Empress yuan asked the deputy commander to check whether there were such people in Guangzhao temple?
After the deputy commander left, Wei Chen calmly said: "that man knows his whereabouts are exposed and will leave in advance. If he goes to catch him now, the chance of catching him is zero."
Empress Yuan said, "if you can't catch the assassin, you are the biggest suspect."
"Wei Chen was framed."
"You have no evidence to prove your innocence."
"But I have no motive to kill the crown prince. Your Highness has always been kind to me. He is my backer. Killing him is a hundred harm but no benefit to me!"
Empress Yuan said, "maybe you were bribed to murder the prince."
Wei Chen bit his teeth: "if I really want to kill people, I will never take such a stupid method!"
"Presumptuous!"
Even if Wei Chen is unwilling, he can only lower his head.
Empress Dowager Yan said, "let someone block Guangzhao temple first. After reporting the matter to the emperor, he will send someone to find out the matter. No one is allowed to leave Guangzhao temple until the truth is known."
Empress yuan heard the implication of her words and opened her eyes slightly: "empress mother, do you believe Wei Chen's words?"
Empress Dowager Yan said, "no matter what Wei Chen said is true or false, he was right. Why was there no one around when the prince was killed? Don't you think it's too strange? "
"Maybe Wei Chen colluded with others and deliberately transferred people away."
"Do you think Wei Chen has such a great ability to mobilize so many people? Not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs, but the bodyguards. Many of them are from a noble family. They usually have eyes higher than the top. How can they obey the order of a small companion? "
Queen yuan couldn't answer.
Empress Dowager Yan said, "the timing of Wei Chen's arrest is really too coincidental. It's like a play that can be arranged."
Empress yuan thought along her way and felt that there were many doubts about this matter.
As Wei Chengang just said, he's not stupid. How could he be stupid enough to kill in broad daylight and not go after killing people? He stood in place with a murder weapon and waited for the door to catch him?!
While empress yuan was deep in thought, the old abbot who had been silent suddenly opened his mouth.
"Benefactor Wei, did you feed the prince anything after he was injured?"
Wei Chen truthfully replied, "I gave him three soul returning pills."
Empress Dowager Yan and empress yuan looked at him at the same time.
"What soul returning pill?"
"It's a tonic that can prolong my life at a critical moment. This medicine was made by my sister. She specially sent me two bottles to prepare me for a rainy day."
Empress Dowager Yan and empress yuan both know that her sister is Jiang Weiwei and how powerful Jiang Weiwei's medical skills are.
Since the soul returning pill is made by Jiang Weiwei, there should be no problem.
The old abbot asked, "do you have the soul returning pill? May I have a look? "
Wei Chen said, "I only took three soul returning pills out. Just now I was in a hurry, so I gave them all to the prince. If you want the soul returning pill, you can only ask someone to bring it to you when I get rid of the suspicion. "
Empress Dowager Yan and empress yuan looked at each other.
It seems that the prince can save his life thanks to the soul returning pill.
The soul returning pill was taken out by Wei Chen. If he is the real murderer, why bother to save the prince?
On the contrary, it proves the credibility of Wei Chen's words from the side.
