Chapter 79 He Understands Her
Facing everyone's doubts and questions, Xie Zhao was calm and not influenced by anyone.
"Your Majesty, please look at the direction of the wound on Jia Xinglin's left chest."
The murderer covered Jia Xinglin's mouth from behind and then swung the dagger. If he held the knife with his right hand, the angle of the blade would be different.
After Xiao She verified it, his expression turned colder: "So the murderer is left-handed?"
There is no doubt about this, but the wound on the left chest that Xie Zhao mentioned was not fatal. There were two murderers, but Xiao She couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Xu Ping rubbed his brows, hoping that Xie Zhao could give him some advice, otherwise he would appear to be a waste in front of the emperor.
“It’s very simple.”
Xie Zhao squatted down, with a pair of golden tweezers in his hand.
He pressed Jia Xinglin's right chest, and soon a six-pointed star-shaped iron piece appeared.
Xie Zhao had nimble fingers and used tweezers to pick out the almost half-foot long piece of iron.
Xu Ping's eyes widened: "How... could this happen?"
Everyone was attracted by the handle of the knife on Jia Xinglin's left chest and completely ignored the small wound on his right chest.
I didn't expect that there was such a long piece of iron under the skin.
"The right chest is the fatal wound, because Prince Jia is indeed different from ordinary people, his heart is on the right side!"
After Xie Zhao finished his conclusion, the answer was obvious.
If anyone doesn't believe it, just cut open the body and you will see it clearly.
"It seems that the murderer is one of the Jia family's own."
Jiang Fulu expressed his thoughts on behalf of all the officials.
The heart is located on the right side. This is probably an absolute secret and will not be passed on to others.
Firstly, being different from ordinary people makes it easy to be ostracized as a monster, and secondly, it is also for one's own safety considerations.
Censor Lu was still immersed in the joy of his brother-in-law's promotion, and echoed: "Master Jiang is very reasonable, he is very talented!"
Xu Ping looked at Censor Lu with a sad face: "Censor Lu, you have changed."
It has only been a short time, and Censor Lu, who has always been upright and has nothing to regret, has actually learned Jiang Fulu's ways. He has become evil too quickly after being around him.
"Your Majesty, the doctor from Duke Mao's mansion has jumped into the lake!"
Before Xiao She could give the order to investigate, a guard came running over to deliver a message.
Now, the people who originally only believed it 50% or 60% believed it 90%.
At this critical juncture, the doctor committed suicide by jumping into the lake out of fear of punishment. It was too obvious.
"Pull the person out and see if he is dead!"
Xiao She was extremely angry as someone was plotting against him right under his nose.
There are less than three suspects who can be found as the left-handed man who killed Jia Xinglin.
"Your Majesty, the servant of the eldest son of the Zhao family requests to see you."
When the guard delivered another letter, the faces of several Zhao family officials present at the scene looked extremely ugly. Zhao Zhe was indeed left-handed, so could he be the one who stabbed the dagger?
The servant Chongyang was brought in and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, all the gentlemen, I want to take the blame for you. You were the one who killed Master Jia. I don't want to see you being bewildered and making mistakes again and again!"
Chongyang cried bitterly and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
His son was too stupid. In the past, he would be beaten up at most for what he did, but this time, he killed someone.
The truth of the murder of Prince Jia will be revealed sooner or later. How could the nobles give up investigating?
Xiao She took a deep breath and said, "Stand up and talk."
Chongyang shook his head and tried to finish his words: "My son took great pains to steal Lord Xie's dagger and killed Master Jia just to frame him."
Jiang Fulu was the first to react and asked, "Does your young master have a deep hatred with Lord Xie?"
The Zhao family used to be Jiang Fulu's lackeys and always followed his lead.
Some time ago, the relationship between the two families became very tense because Zhao Fendie was expelled from the clan.
Not long after, the Zhao family joined the Wei Prime Minister, for which Jiang Fulu was so angry that he cursed for several days.
Chongyang hesitated for a moment and replied, "My son is in love with Miss Wei, so he hates Master Xie."
Chongyang gritted his teeth. If it weren't for Wei Jing, his son would have had a bright future. How could he have gotten so stuck in such a dead end and gone down a path of no return?
"A few days ago, Miss Wei asked my young master to meet her late at night. She said she didn't want to marry the young master Jia and wanted to elope with him."
Speaking of Wei Jing, Chongyang was filled with resentment and did not give the Wei family any face.
"Miss Wei used elopement as bait, and my master got carried away and immediately decided to go through fire and water for Miss Wei."
The Chongyang Festival is fully restored without missing any details.
When Wei Shoufu heard this, his head was buzzing: "Nonsense, it's complete nonsense, you... you must have been bribed by Jiang Fulu to deliberately discredit Jing'er!"
Jiang Fulu immediately complained: "Your Majesty, you see that Prime Minister Wei is really old and confused. It would be better for him to retire and return home early, so that he can still preserve a little bit of his dignity in his later years. My daughter and Lord Xie have a harmonious relationship. Why is it necessary to discredit an old girl who can't get married? What's the point!"
Xie Zhao stood up and agreed: "Father-in-law is right."
Jiang Fulu only had Censor Lu left by his side, so Xie Zhao had to find someone to help.
After a while, Zhao Zhe was caught and saw that it was the servant Chongyang who betrayed him. He couldn't believe it and said, "Chongyang, why did you betray me?"
Zhao Zhe believed that his plan was foolproof, and only Chongyang knew about it.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhao Zhe fell into the hands of his own people.
Chongyang knelt down, kowtowed heavily to Zhao Zhe and said, "Sir, I can't bear to see you make mistakes at every step!"
Is it worth it to destroy your family just for Wei Jing?
"If Miss Wei is sincere to you, I won't say anything. She is clearly treating you like a fool!"
Yes, Wei Jing did not instruct Zhao Zhe, everything was done voluntarily by Zhao Zhe, this is the most terrifying thing!
Chongyang and his class heard the new play about Miss Zhang's suicide, and found that Wei Jing's method was exactly the same.
Being touched in the back, Zhao Zhe's face suddenly became frost-covered: "Everyone has his own actions and responsibilities. What does it have to do with Miss Wei!"
"If I don't come and tell the truth, I might be silenced and the truth will be buried forever. Are you sure you can bear it alone?"
How will the Zhao family cope with the situation when Zhao Zhe goes to prison?
If the Zhao family offends the nobles who are like mad dogs, it will be finished sooner or later.
Chongyang came to expose the matter after careful consideration. He must pull out this poisonous snake Wei Jing.
The atmosphere became stagnant again and no one spoke.
If Zhang Wanyi had not committed suicide, the officials would not have believed that Wei Jing had such intentions. Now that Zhao Zhe's servant Chongyang has stepped forward, it seems reasonable.
The wives of officials were far away and gave each other a knowing look.
No matter how high the Wei family's status is, he cannot marry Wei Jing, otherwise he would die without knowing how.
"Your Majesty, although Jia Xinglin was stabbed in the chest with a dagger, he had a chance to ask for help. Young Master Zhao is not the real murderer. Can you give him a lighter sentence?"
Jiang Yuzhu broke the silence and took the initiative to plead for Zhao Zhe.
This turn of events stunned everyone present, even Zhao Zhe was genuinely shocked.
Chongyang cried, "Young Master, please wake up. Madam Xie, whom you look down upon, is the real good person. Kind people are not judged by appearance. Not everyone who is weak has a kind heart!"
After Chongyang finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions.
Xiao She touched his chin and his opinion of Jiang Yuzhu changed.
Xie Zhao stretched out his slender hand hidden under his sleeve and clasped it with Jiang Yuzhu's hands. He swept his eyes over everyone's faces one by one and said, "Madam, you have studied the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty very thoroughly. I admire you."
Jiang Yuzhu smiled. Xie Zhao was indeed a thousand-year-old fox. He actually understood her!
