Chapter 107: Complete evidence
Luo Qinghan waved his hand, signaling the two to go about their own business.
Nie Changping and Zhao Xian took the order and left.
Because of the assassin's incident, they had to stay here for one more day.
The Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Guardian can use this day to arrange their own actions.
They had to find a new identity for the prince, which included not only clothes and food, but also a travel permit, and they also had to choose a ship that would not be too conspicuous and was safe and reliable.
Everyone was busy, only Xiao Xixi was still sleeping.
Since she didn't have to travel today, she got up, had breakfast, and then went back to bed to sleep.
Luo Qinghan didn't care about her and let her sleep.
The palace maids and eunuchs were secretly shocked when they saw this. Xiao Xi was too favored. Not only could he eat and live with the prince, but he could also sleep in front of the prince. He looked so natural, it seemed that he really didn't consider himself a slave at all!
Eunuch Chang was very strict with his subordinates. With him in charge, no one dared to gossip. Even if their gossiping spirits were burning, they dared not say a single word.
In the afternoon, Nie Changping and Zhao Xian came again.
Both brought good news.
Nie Changping said, "I used the eldest prince's name to deceive the officials, and the postmaster named Chen Shun immediately changed his face. After I caught him, I used threats and inducements to force him to tell the truth. It turned out that his brother worked under the eldest prince, and he was instructed by his brother to help hide the four assassins in the post station. This is his confession."
It was precisely because of the protection of the postmaster that they did not notice any clues when they checked into the post station yesterday.
Zhao Xian said, "I deliberately interrogated the four assassins separately and lied to them one by one. Three of them didn't react much, but one showed strong suspicion when he heard me mention the eldest prince. I stared at him and interrogated him, and lied that the other three had confessed, otherwise I wouldn't know about the eldest prince. As a result, he believed it and confessed everything at once. This is his confession."
Luo Qinghan looked at the two confessions placed side by side in front of him.
Everything was exactly as Xiao Xixi said. These four assassins were the death squads raised by the eldest prince Luo Yechen. They were assigned by the eldest prince to work together with the postmaster to assassinate the prince.
With all the evidence and witnesses, there is no doubt that the real murderer is the eldest prince.
Nie Changping said angrily: "The eldest prince sent someone to assassinate the crown prince. This is a capital crime and he must not be forgiven easily!"
Luo Qinghan didn't react much.
This is not the first time he has been assassinated, and certainly it will not be the last.
After doing it many times, you will naturally get used to it.
He put down his confession and said calmly, "Find a secret place to lock up the four assassins and assign someone to guard them. Don't let them escape or die. As for the postmaster... give him a cup of poisoned wine and let him kill himself."
He had to continue southward and could not waste too much time here. He could not send the evidence back to Shengjing for the Ministry of Justice to deal with. Now that he was not in Shengjing, he could not grasp the situation in Shengjing in time. If someone interfered, his evidence would probably be burned.
Luo Qinghan could only suppress the case for the time being. After the matter of praying for rain was resolved, he would personally bring witnesses and evidence back to Shengjing to have a good talk with his elder brother in person.
After sending the two away, Luo Qinghan stood up and walked around the screen, and saw Xiao Xixi sitting on the cushion.
