Ni Yueshan opened her mouth to refute, but Jing Yuchen grabbed Ni Yueshan and shook his head at her.
Ni Yueshan frowned, "The herbs applied to this wound might have been tampered with. Otherwise, how could a recent injury become like an old one?"
Jing Yuchen rejected it: "No, it's also possible that it's the knife's fault!"
Ni Yueshan thought so too. Then she looked at Shao Lecheng and said, "You, where's the dagger you used to fight Qingfeng today? Take it out!"
Shao Lecheng snorted and took out the dagger from his sleeve. Ni Yueshan took it in his hand and looked at it, then asked to check the size of the dagger and the size of Qingfeng's wound.
Kang Xueyi did not refuse any of Ni Yueshan's requests and did everything according to Ni Yueshan's requirements.
But the comparison result shows that the size of the short knife and Qingfeng's wound do not match!
Ni Yueshan was naturally surprised. Shao Lecheng must have changed to a dagger!
Otherwise, how could the wounds be of different sizes?
Seeing Ni Yueshan's gaze on him, Shao Lecheng was not panicked at all. He just sat lazily on the chair and began to yawn, as if everything was very boring to him.
Although Ni Yueshan was angry, Shao Lecheng never had the habit of using the same weapon. She had no objection when he changed to a dagger.
At the door, someone came with the guards that Shao Lecheng mentioned.
The guard stepped forward and saluted respectfully. "I am a guard under General Miao of the Miao Mansion. I accompany General Miao and protect his safety. I have heard everything on the way."
As he said this, he took out his weapon.
Kang Xueyi signaled with his eyes, and others hurried over to check it out.
After verification, it was concluded that the size of the blade was exactly the same as the size of the wound on Qingfeng's arm.
Ni Yueshan was not surprised by this result, because all signs have shown that they rely on this wound as evidence of their crime, and Shao Lecheng is the witness!
As long as there are both physical evidence and witnesses, the case can be established.
Qingfeng wasn't afraid at all, and responded calmly, "Although I'm only a shadow guard and haven't held any official position, I feel like General Miao's subordinate couldn't even get close to me. So, how did he injure me?"
"If General Miao was really killed by me, then the wound on his throat should be the same size as the sword in my hand!"
As he said this, he took out the sword from his waist and placed it on the ground.
For the shadow guard, as long as the sword is alive, he is alive; if the sword dies, he dies. So he has no choice but to hand over the sword at this moment.
Ni Yueshan didn't expect that the shadow guard was thinking so calmly at this moment.
I have a little more appreciation for the breeze.
Kang Xueyi still felt that he could not offend either side, but since it was a lawsuit, he had to offend one side, so no matter who made the request, he would agree unconditionally.
"Then...Miao Palace Guard, are you willing to compete with this palace's Shadow Guard? See if you can get close to him? Injure his arm?"
"I happen to have the wound measurements recorded after General Miao was assassinated. I will check to see if they match the dimensions of the Shadow Guard Sword!"
The guard glanced at Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng didn't say anything, so the guard had to agree.
Shao Lecheng's martial arts skills were not very high, so he naturally had little chance of winning against Qingfeng. However, Shao Lecheng's martial arts skills were fast, so he could still injure Qingfeng's arm, but he couldn't take his life.
As for this guard, if the ordinary guards around Miao Li could be as good as Qingfeng, Miao Li would not have been killed by Zou Yangyao's men.
Ni Yueshan, Jing Yuchen and others moved to the courtyard.
There weren't many decorations and facilities in the spacious courtyard, so it was enough for the two of them to practice their skills and fight.
One of them held a knife and the other held a sword. They looked at each other with cold eyes. Then they attacked each other at the same time. The knives and swords clashed, and sparks flew in the air.
Ni Yueshan watched the two men's fight with some concern. "As a shadow guard, Qingfeng should be on the same level as those assassins in the martial arts world, right? He's so fast, fierce, and accurate, why didn't he just knock this guard down?"
Jing Yuchen's devilish face was filled with a solemn expression. "How could the Queen Mother not have thought that the two of them might need to compete? Even if this guard is truly an ordinary escort, his strength could be compared to that of a general!"
Ni Yueshan's heart grew increasingly worried: "Doesn't that mean Qingfeng's guilt has been proven?"
Jing Yuchen nodded solemnly: "Maybe!"
Just as Jing Yuchen said, seeing the way Qingfeng was fighting with the opponent, it was hard to tell who would win. The strength of his guard was worthy of a general!
Ni Yueshan said unhappily, "Miao Li's guards are so powerful? Who are you kidding? Miao Li's lieutenants might not be able to defeat this guard!"
Kang Xueyi, who was standing by, overheard Ni Yueshan's shouting. He took the initiative to explain, "Princess, I've already sent someone to investigate this issue!"
"But Princess, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Earlier at the restaurant, General Miao's three lieutenants were knocked to the ground by General Zou alone. They couldn't even get up. General Miao immediately replaced all of his guards the next day!"
"Every martial art was personally selected by him. Needless to say, this martial art is far superior to that of the deputy general!"
Ni Yueshan listened to Kang Xueyi's clear and logical explanation, which seemed so real.
But Ni Yueshan knew that even if there were more auditions, it would be impossible to pick so many experts to be around, because Zou Yangyao had indeed killed Miao Li easily...
Unless it went so smoothly because those people were drunk and their performance was affected, who would have thought that a dignified general would be killed in the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor?
She looked at Jing Yuchen beside her and nudged him with her elbow: "Have you thought of a solution?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan, pursed his lips and shook his head.
Ni Yueshan couldn't help but feel disappointed. Could she really allow herself to be framed?
Unexpectedly, Jing Yuchen looked at Kang Xueyi and asked, "Can you send a reliable person to help me deliver a message to the Prince's Mansion?"
Kang Xueyi looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise: "The prince is here, are you delivering a message to the prince's mansion?"
Although it was unexpected and didn't sound like a good thing, Kang Xueyi finally nodded and agreed: "Okay..."
The Regent's Palace still has to save face...
Shao Lecheng stood on the other side and only saw what Jing Yuchen and Kang Xueyi said, but he didn't know what they said specifically.
When the competition ended, both of them were injured. Facts proved that the guard could beat Qingfeng.
So it's entirely possible and reasonable that the wound on Qingfeng's arm was stabbed by a guard...
So the next step is sentencing?
