Chapter 1292: It turns out that the medicine was secretly replaced
How dare the old general investigate further?
Fortunately, the emperor took their old friendship into consideration and did not make things difficult for his younger daughter. He simply imprisoned her in the imperial palace.
This made the old general feel a little relieved.
I originally thought that this was the end of the matter.
However, during one of the emperor's hunting trips, the grandson brought up the case of witchcraft and begged for permission to reiterate it, to which the emperor granted his approval.
Upon hearing the news, the old general hurried back from Fengqi County.
As a result, before returning to the general's mansion, he met his two sons on the road and learned that his eldest daughter had come to the Dali Temple to surrender.
So, the father and his two sons hurried over.
When Lord Xia saw the old general coming, he quickly stood up.
"Greetings, General Shenwu." Lord Xia saluted.
The old general waved his hand, wiped his tears, and said, "I am sorry to have interrupted Lord Xia's trial. Please don't blame me, Lord Xia."
Lord Xia naturally wouldn't blame me.
Not to mention the relationship between the old general and the Su family, just because the old general is the emperor's father-in-law, Lord Xia has to give the old general face.
What's more, the old general has made great military achievements and has spent his entire life in the military, which is truly admirable.
"What are you talking about, old general? Since you are here to listen, I will obey you."
Lord Xia directly found an excuse for the old general to attend the meeting as an observer.
After saying this, he ordered the yamen runner to bring a chair to the old general.
The old general sat down without rushing to do so. He said, "Master Xia, please forgive me. I have a few words to ask this evil girl. I wonder if Master Xia could give me some convenience?"
The old general asked politely, and Lord Xia agreed readily.
"Please feel free to do as you please, old general," said Lord Xia.
Although, this is really against the rules.
However, rules are made by people.
He is the presiding judge, so he can naturally decide what to do based on what is best for the case.
The matter was very obvious. He could understand the cause of the case just by listening from the side. Why not do it?
He had never had it so easy to try a case.
"Thank you, Lord Xia." said the old general.
After saying that, he looked at Yang Ning.
"You hate your sister and you hate the Sun family, but what about Jin'er? He is so young and has always respected you. How could you have the heart to harm him?" the old general asked in a sad voice.
Yang Ning: “…”
The disguised indifference was shattered again.
When Xuanyuan Jin was poisoned and almost died, it was a lifelong pain for her and the deepest guilt in her heart.
Although she didn't do it herself, the person who poisoned him used her to achieve his goal!
"I didn't mean to harm Jin'er." Yang Ning bit her lip and said, "I just wanted to put some tranquilizers in his food, but someone secretly replaced the medicine..."
The more Yang Ning spoke, the lower her voice became.
She just wanted her little nephew to sleep peacefully without being frightened by the upcoming chaos.
It turns out that the medicine was secretly replaced.
The old general closed his eyes after hearing what Yang Ning said.
I wanted to slap this stupid yet bold daughter to death.
"Who changed it?" the old general asked sternly.
Yang Ning shook her head.
"I don't know." Yang Ning said with his head down.
Old General: “…”
He took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and told himself that he still had something to ask and that he couldn't beat his daughter to death now.
"Who else was involved in this?" The old general asked, suppressing his anger. "You can't do it so carefully, and you don't have the ability to implicate so many people!"
The old general used an affirmative tone.
As expected, Yang Ning lowered his head and said, "Someone helped me secretly, but I don't know who it was."
Old General: “…”
"You don't know who it is, yet you dare to listen to him and do such a heinous thing?!" the old general shouted in shock and anger.
If the daughter in front of him wasn't his own biological daughter, he would have really wanted to draw his sword and chop her to death!
Stupid! So stupid!
The old general was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
The old general finally managed to suppress his anger.
"So how did he help you?" the old general asked patiently, "Do you have any evidence? Like a letter or something?"
When Lord Xia heard this, his eyes lit up.
Sure enough, he just had to eat the melon.
Someone helped him to find out the biggest doubts and evidence.
Lord Xia was enjoying the melon, and the yamen runners on both sides were also very happy.
After all, if the case is solved sooner, they will all get a reward.
As for the people outside the court, they were even happier.
It is such a rare opportunity for them to be able to personally hear what happens in such an earth-shattering case.
Because of this reason, they didn't even bother to go and see how Prince Rong's Mansion was being raided.
Some people even feel very regretful.
How come such big things all happen on the same day?
Otherwise, they would just watch the fun one by one.
After hearing what the old general said, Yang Ning said, "That person never sent me any letters."
"That's a verbal message," the old general said. "Who delivered it?"
"The person who delivered the message was a maid in the palace. She drowned a long time ago." Yang Ning said with some guilt.
She naturally knew that the nanny had been silenced.
Old General: “…”
"However, he passed me notes twice," Yang Ning said.
The old general immediately asked, "Where's the note?"
Yang Ning took out two paper rolls from her purse and handed them to General Yang with both hands.
The old general took the note and unfolded it eagerly. Yang Wei and Yang Wu also came over.
Master Xia: "..."
Ahem, where is he, the presiding judge?
Shouldn't he review this important evidence first?
"Dad, this should be written by the left hand." Yang Wei said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the person who wrote the note based on the handwriting."
The words on the note were crooked.
Judging from the strokes, it can be almost seen that the person who wrote the note used his left hand.
The old general frowned, as if he had seen the words on the note somewhere before.
But I can't remember it for the moment.
"Lord Xia." The old general handed the note to Lord Xia.
Lord Xia took it immediately.
Finally I remembered him, the presiding judge!
Yang Wei looked at Yang Ning and expressed the anger and blame that he had been suppressing in his heart.
"Even if your second sister caused your leg disease and you want to take revenge on her, what about Dad? What about us?" Yang Wei shouted, "What about your nephews and nieces? Before you did something like this, did you ever consider that you would harm them? Harming the entire Yang family?"
Yang Ning: “…”
His lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.
At that time, she only thought about revenge and venting all the grievances and anger accumulated in her heart. How could she think about the safety of the Yang family?
What's more, when you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow, and many things have been arranged in advance by someone unknown.
She naturally wouldn't give up such a good opportunity.
"I'm afraid you only care about yourself in your heart, and not the Yang family at all!" Yang Wei looked at his sister, gritted his teeth, and said with disappointment, "I've been telling your nephews all day long to be filial to you and take good care of you in the future, fearing that you would suffer in the afterlife of my second brother and I. Now it seems that my efforts were unnecessary..."
