Chapter 164: Today is too exciting
"Princess Lingxi." Chen Tingsi said calmly, "Everything I have done is in accordance with the law."
"If you are dissatisfied with my judgment, you can ask the censor to impeach me."
Xiao Lingxi also knew that he was being unreasonable.
She just didn't want to watch Qin Aoshuang and King Ruian leave like that.
She sobbed continuously, "Could it be that Sister Qingyan's efforts to seek justice for her brother at the cost of her own life have to end in vain?"
"She risked her life, is this all that can be done?"
Xie Yingmian sighed imperceptibly.
Reality is so cruel, you won’t get anything in return if you make an effort.
"If I sue Prince Rui'an and Princess Longyuan for murdering me, will Lord Shen take the case?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxi immediately looked at Shen Tingsi expectantly.
Shen Tingsi's expression was complicated.
If something really happened to Xie Yingmian, it could be placed under the jurisdiction of the Six Punishment Department.
However, Xie Yingmian did not die and only suffered minor injuries.
Qin Aoshuang and King Ruian were more seriously injured than Xie Yingmian.
If both parties are injured, it is not murder.
This is called mutual fighting.
Fighting is the government's business and is not under the jurisdiction of the Six Punishment Departments.
Even the government would find it difficult to take on this case, and at most they could mediate it.
After listening to Shen Tingsi's explanation, the light in Xiao Lingxi's eyes dimmed again.
She knew better than anyone how powerful Qin Aoshuang was.
As long as Qin Ao Shuang leaves here, Qin Ao Shuang can make a big thing small.
Sister Qingyan planned everything, but in the end she was still one step behind.
"Sister Qingyan, I'm sorry." Xiao Lingxi's tears fell, "We still failed..."
At this moment,
The noisy chatter outside suddenly stopped.
It was as if the pause button was pressed, and everyone held their breath.
In the huge crabapple garden, you can even hear a pin drop.
"Hey, why is it suddenly quiet? What happened outside?" Xiao Kui jumped onto the roof.
See who's coming.
His eyes lit up: "Sir, it's Prince Ling who has arrived."
Xie Yingmian was stunned.
Yu Lingye is here?
At this time, Yu Lingye had already crossed the crowd and arrived at the entrance of Haitang Garden.
The clouds disperse and the sun comes out.
Someone brighter than the sun is coming against the light.
Xie Yingmian was a little surprised when she saw that familiar face.
The Tao family’s case ended so quickly?
Yu Lingye was wearing black clothes.
The clothes looked plain and simple, but the cuffs and collar were embroidered with dragon patterns specially used by the prince in gold and silver threads.
The dragon patterns sparkle in the sun, each one showing its nobility.
Black and white, gold and light, the intertwined reflections make him look even more noble and unparalleled.
"Why are you here?" Xie Yingmian asked, "Is it done over there?"
"Yeah, it went very smoothly." Yu Lingye's eyes fell on Xie Yingmian's clothes.
The places where she was injured by the hidden weapon had been treated by Xie Yingmian, but her clothes were still stained with a lot of blood.
The blood has dried up,
The dark red bloodstains were particularly eye-catching on her crescent-white skirt.
"Are you injured?" Yu Lingye asked.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"I am late."
Xie Yingmian agreed: "Indeed, you are late. The banquet has already started. You can only eat some leftovers if you come at this time."
Yu Lingye: ...
That's not what he said.
Yu Lingye looked at Shen Tingsi and said, "I received an anonymous letter that mentioned the incident at Dead Man's Ridge. I believe the truth behind the battle at Dead Man's Ridge should be re-investigated."
Shen Tingsi: "What kind of anonymous letter?"
Yu Lingye said, "A letter written in blood."
"The blood letter alleges that the three thousand Dragon Abyss soldiers died in battle, not because of a surprise attack by the enemy, but because of a traitor."
"The reason the Longyuan Army was trapped in Dead Man's Ridge was because a traitor passed on false intelligence, causing the Longyuan Army to be ambushed. The subsequent delay in the arrival of supplies was also due to someone's interference."
"The battle at Dead Man's Ridge was a trap set by traitors against General Longyuan. There's a hidden story behind the tragic deaths of Xiao Kehan and three thousand soldiers."
Hearing this, Qin Ao Shuang trembled all over.
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably.
How could that be!
How come that thing was discovered so quickly!
She thought that after her relationship with King Ryan was exposed, someone might be able to follow the clues and find clues.
She has already thought of a solution.
As long as she is given three days, she can ensure that everything is foolproof and that no one can find out.
But, she never expected,
That thing was discovered so quickly!
It was so fast that she had no time to deal with it or make plans!
"Based on this blood letter and the battle report of the Dead Man's Ridge battle, I suspect that the case is related to Princess Longyuan and King Rui'an." Yu Lingye handed the blood letter to Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi asked Xiaokui to take the blood letter.
This letter written in blood was obviously torn from the inner garment by someone.
Without a pen, the letter writer wrote with blood.
The blood dried and the writing turned black and red.
The black and red handwriting was crooked, but it was telling a shocking fact.
This shocking fact is the cruel truth of the Battle of Dead Man's Ridge.
Shen Tingsi read the blood letter with a serious expression.
After reading it, his body trembled slightly.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to go to the palace."
"Princess Longyuan, Prince Rui'an, please accompany me to the Six Punishments Department. I will report to His Majesty and await his decision."
"In the case of Xiao Qingyan, the suspect is Wen Juexia. I need to bring Wen Juexia to the Six Criminal Division..."
Xiao Lingxi thought he had failed this time.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Prince Ling showed up and brought good news.
As the situation took twists and turns, Xiao Lingxi's mood also fluctuated.
When she heard that King Rui'an and Qin Aoshuang would be temporarily detained in the Six Punishments Department, she almost jumped up with joy.
Later, I heard that Shen Tingsi wanted to detain Wen Juexia.
She hurriedly said, "Master Shen, I have Sister Qingyan's handwritten letter."
"The handwritten note clearly states that Sister Qingyan committed suicide."
Xiao Lingxi handed the letter to Xiao Kui.
Shen Tingsi took a few glances.
"The handwriting can be used as evidence, but I need to prove that it was written by Xiao Qingyan."
"In the case of Xiao Qingyan, there is insufficient evidence, and a verdict cannot be reached for the time being. Princess Ling and Wen Juexia are requested to remain in Prince Ling's residence for the time being, so that they can be summoned by the Six Criminal Division at any time."
"Go back to the Sixth Punishment Division."
At Shen Tingsi's command, the masters of the Six Punishments Department surrounded King Rui'an and Qin Aoshuang.
Qin Aoshuang's expression changed several times.
She and King Ryan were at the end of their rope, with no way to escape.
Being plotted against to this extent, Qin Aoshuang felt a sense of defeat in her heart.
She had a feeling,
This time, I might really be in trouble.
After Shen Tingsi led the people from the Six Punishments Department to leave Xie Mansion,
The three Xie brothers immediately softened.
Today was so exciting, more exciting than anything he had ever experienced in his life.
"Thank you, Third Master." Xie Yingmian said, "It's getting late, and the banquet is almost over."
Xie Laosan immediately understood what Xie Yingmian meant.
Xie Yingmian asked him to send the guests away.
"Don't worry, niece. I'll do it right away." Xie Lao San smiled flatteringly.
He answered Xie Yingmian, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye felt sick from being stared at by this gaze.
He frowned slightly, and the pressure of a superior burst out.
Xie Laosan's legs went weak and he almost peed his pants out of fright.
