There was a flash of surprise in Ni Yueshan's eyes. Ni Hongbo's men?
Ni Yueshan frowned. He had thought of too many people, but he didn't expect Jing Chengzhi to find the people left behind by Ni Hongbo to commit the crime!
Ni Yueshan felt that Jing Chengzhi's move was really clever. If the matter was investigated, the Prime Minister's Mansion might also be implicated?
Ni Yueshan waved his hand, and the guard retreated. Ni Yueshan's gaze returned to the man: "Let me tell you, even if I change to a poisonous snake, it will still bite you."
Ni Yueshan ordered someone to bring in another poisonous snake. Ni Yueshan turned around and looked at it, smiling and said, "This snake still has its fangs! It took a lot of royal manpower to get these snakes! You are quite honored!"
When the man heard that the snake hadn't removed its fangs, his face turned pale: "Princess, you can't take human life lightly!"
Ni Yueshan said disdainfully, "The reason this venomous snake bit you is the same as the last one: you had powder on your hands. That powder attracts venomous snakes. I imagine the five victims also had some of that powder on their coats, right?"
"How could they have sprinkled the powder on the five people without them noticing, without them even touching or getting close? Perhaps they were using the accumulated snow. Someone in the dark could have shaken a branch as the five people passed by, causing the powder to fall."
"Even if you washed your hands, you still need to sprinkle a lot of tree trunks to ensure that the five of them will be infected. How can you do this without some light skills? There's a lot of powder on them, and I believe it will take a long time to completely wash away the smell!"
"And on the night of the incident, no guards or servants noticed anyone suspicious entering, which means the snake crawled in on its own! Why did the snake crawl in so obediently? Because someone caught the snake and placed it nearby. It was attracted by the smell on their clothes, so it crawled in obediently!"
"Qingdie, go check his hands to see if there are any scratches."
Qingdie walked towards the other person. The other person was obviously a little panicked and wanted to hide his hand, but in the end he could not resist the guards and his hand was forcibly pulled out.
Qingdie lowered her eyes and took a look. "Really, there are some! Just not many!"
"No matter how good your Qinggong is, you shouldn't be able to climb every tree without touching the ground. It's normal to have scratches. Do you have any other explanation?"
Ni Yueshan looked at the other person confidently. The other person only felt a strong pressure coming towards him. He opened his mouth to defend himself: "I didn't do it! It's unfair!"
Ni Yueshan chuckled: "Do you want to taste that venomous snake with fangs?"
The other party immediately fell silent, sweat oozing from his forehead, and he was trying hard to find an excuse.
Outside the emperor's tent, Ni Yueshan brought a servant to ask for an audience. Although the emperor said that he would say he was resting if someone asked for an audience, Ni Yueshan was different. The guards immediately went to report. The emperor was indeed a little sleepy at this time, but he still summoned Ni Yueshan immediately.
Behind Ni Yueshan followed a servant led by the guards. Ni Yueshan bowed respectfully to the emperor's seat and said, "Greetings, father."
"Is this the suspect you arrested?"
Ni Yueshan looked straight ahead and responded calmly and confidently, "Yes!"
The emperor looked the servant over and said, "Do you plead guilty?"
The servant knelt on the ground, still trying to make excuses, but he racked his brains and still couldn't find a reasonable excuse.
"The emperor is asking you a question!" The eunuch standing aside shouted.
The servant shuddered and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Slave, I feel so wronged. The Crown Princess tried to convict me based solely on a snake. I feel so wronged!"
The emperor's eyes darkened. Before he could speak, Ni Yueshan took the initiative to speak, "Father, among the thousands of servants who followed us to the hunting grounds, he was the only one attacked by a venomous snake. Why? Because his hands smelled of medicinal powder! Faced with such irrefutable evidence, he still wanted to make excuses!"
Ni Yueshan turned to look at him, mocking him, "Are you unconvinced that a venomous snake shouldn't be used as strong evidence?"
The servant didn't say anything, but his expression clearly showed that he thought so.
Ni Yueshan curled her lips and smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll test it for you right here!"
Ni Yueshan's words made the servant's eyes flash with surprise, and Ni Yueshan walked towards the poisonous snake cage beside him.
The guard couldn't help but remind him, "Princess, this is a venomous snake whose fangs haven't been removed!"
Ni Yueshan said calmly, "I'm not afraid!"
Then she rolled up her sleeves and reached toward the cage.
The servant's eyes widened. A venomous snake with fangs could instantly poison a person and put their life in danger. Even if they didn't have any medicine powder, a venomous snake could still attack a person!
The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his eyes wide and stared intently.
Ni Yueshan is not afraid of death!
