Although he was roaring with excitement, he was extremely confident when he said this.
Ni Yueshan did not respond. Kang Xueyi looked at Miao Qinghua, obviously wanting Miao Qinghua to give some advice.
Miao Qinghua calmly put down the teacup and said, "Master Temple Minister, please don't let my presence here affect your handling of the case. I'm just an observer."
Kang Xueyi then immediately gave the order: "Come here, go to the restaurant where General Miao and the Regent went that day, and invite everyone who was there, including the waiters, the shopkeeper, and any other guests!"
Ni Yueshan lowered her eyes. Jing Yuchen deliberately chose to pretend to faint after Miao Li arrived at the door, and also deliberately talked to her before pretending to faint. There must be a purpose behind Jing Yuchen's behavior.
If we ask the people in the restaurant to testify now, as long as the majority lean towards Miao Li, it will be difficult to make Miao Li prove that Jing Yuchen fainted.
And since Miao Qinghua chose to come in person, she would definitely do her best to protect him.
Ni Yueshan also picked up the tea beside him and took a sip slowly.
Soon, the waiter in the restaurant was invited over. He had never seen such a solemn place before, and he was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I, Le Deng, greet you, sir."
"Lamp? I'm asking you, that day, the Regent and General Miao had a conflict in your restaurant. Were you there? Did you see who attacked first? Who made the first move? And who caused the Regent to lose consciousness?"
Le Deng shrank back, glanced in the direction of Miao Li, and pointed: "General Miao was drinking in the room at that time. When I entered, I was about to put down the wine jar. At the door, there were two passers-by. They said something about getting Miss Yanle drunk..."
"General Miao often came to our restaurant to drink, and naturally Miss Yanle was General Miao's favorite girl, so I remember her. I was worried about her at the time."
"General Miao wouldn't be angry, would he? Sure enough, General Miao sent someone out to invite the two passing gentlemen into the room, but the two gentlemen were also in a bad mood. After just a few words, they clashed and started fighting."
"Although one of the young masters was extremely drunk, the other one was not struggling at all! Afterwards, several of General Miao's lieutenants came out and another round of fighting ensued. However, even the lieutenants were no match for them..."
"Then General Miao came out in person. Although he was about to attack again, he recognized the other party's identity, exchanged a few words, and walked downstairs. Before he even left the door, the Regent fainted."
"Then you have to think carefully. Has General Miao ever met the Regent?" Kang Xueyi looked at the waiter steadily, and the waiter looked thoughtful.
"I was standing upstairs at the time. The stairs were sloped, so I couldn't see. But just as General Miao reached the door, the Regent fainted. There were quite a few people watching from the second floor. If I had them come forward, they would surely be able to explain the situation clearly!"
Kang Xueyi glanced at Miao Qinghua, who didn't react. Then Kang Xueyi asked, "How many people did you know who lived on the second floor that night? Tell me their names and addresses, and have them come forward to testify!"
Afterwards, the waiter recalled a few people, and the government officials went out again to bring people over.
Miao Qinghua looked at Miao Li and asked, "Does what this young man just said match your memory?"
Miao Li didn't hear any problem and nodded: "Agree!"
Miao Qinghua drank her tea quietly without saying anything else.
Afterwards, three more people were brought in. They saluted Kang Xueyi, who immediately questioned them, "I'm asking you, were you drinking in the restaurant last night when you heard a fight and came out to check on the situation?"
The three of them looked at each other and then nodded.
Kang Xueyi quickly pressed on: "Tell me everything you saw, no matter how big or small, clearly!"
"I was drunk that day and couldn't see the specific situation clearly. I only saw a few people fighting, and then someone shouted, 'Yuchen, wake up! Don't scare her!'"
Another person recalled, "When I first came out to check on the situation, I saw a man in white fainted on the stairs, followed by several other people. General Miao was talking to another young man, but they seemed to have a disagreement and hurried downstairs. The man in white was conscious for a moment, then spoke to someone for a few words before fainting again."
He scratched his head, as if his memory was blurred after drinking.
It was very late that night, and everyone was drinking in the restaurant. They had already finished three rounds of drinks. How many people were sober?
Miao Qinghua squinted her eyes and looked at him. "You said the man in white woke up and talked to someone for a few words before fainting again?"
"yes......"
Miao Qinghua pointed to Ni Yueshan standing aside and asked, "Did the man in white talk to her?"
The man looked at Ni Yueshan and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, the girl was dressed as a young master at that time!"
Miao Qinghua snorted softly, "Since he was able to wake up after being unconscious, and then fell unconscious again, how can we say that he was injured by General Miao's men? Moreover, according to the statements of several people, it can be clearly confirmed that General Miao only spoke to General Zou and the princess, and did not actually attack them. If that is the case, how can we say that the Regent was injured by General Miao?"
"Even if it was General Miao's men, it was General Miao who didn't know that the person who clashed with him was the Regent! The only people to blame for this matter are General Miao's men. They are blind and don't recognize the Regent!"
Miao Li immediately chimed in, "Yes, Queen Mother, I never laid a hand on the Regent at all. I'm so wronged! If anyone is to blame, blame those subordinates. They were blind and didn't recognize the Regent, so they kept attacking him without restraint!"
Ni Yueshan, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up at this moment: "This princess has one more question."
Miao Li glanced at Ni Yueshan unhappily and ignored her. Miao Qinghua then asked, "What's the problem? Princess, please tell me."
"The Queen Mother and General Miao both said that those subordinates were blind, but the one who fought them was Zou Yangyao. Who doesn't know his reputation? Could it be that Zou Yangyao is also so face-blind that he can't be recognized?"
"Or is it that in their eyes, Zou Yangyao is not as important as Miao Li of the Miao family, so even if they recognized him, they wouldn't stop? And why would they take action without Miao Li's order? It turns out that in the Miao family, there is a rule that if something goes wrong, the subordinates bear the responsibility, not the person giving the order!"
It's hard to say whether those people recognized Zou Yangyao...
But Ni Yueshan's statement could not refute the person.
Miao Li gritted his teeth and angrily said, "Princess Regent, this is the time to try a case, not to sow discord. What are you trying to do here? It's a fact that this general didn't touch the Regent!"
