Chapter 119 I’m so scared
Wen Ling had actually seen where the black cloak was hidden from her memory, but she couldn't say it directly.
Things have come to this point, she has done enough.
Following the maid's instructions, they soon found the place where the black cloak was buried in the dense woods at the back.
Based on the identification of the bribed palace maid, they found the place where the silver bills were hidden.
Wen Ling couldn't help but sigh: "This little forest really has everything."
I don’t know where this tacit understanding comes from, but everyone likes to hide things in the woods.
In this way, the safest place becomes the most dangerous place.
When the cloak was found, there were obvious blood stains on the black cloak.
The fabric of the cloak is just as the little maid said, very special. It is silk with a particularly good feel, but it is made through a special process and is light, thin, windproof and waterproof.
Only the weavers employed by the King of Qi can make a cloak with this kind of craftsmanship.
How close the King of Qi was to Wen Yao, and how high-profile Wen Yao was, their relationship was known to everyone.
Therefore, this cloak could only belong to Wen Yao and not Wen Ling. This is enough to prove that what the little maid said was true.
There was a light sweat on the forehead of the Dali Temple Minister before, but now he was sweating coldly.
He had been questioning Wen Ling with one question after another just now, but now, facing the overwhelming physical evidence, he was wiping his sweat frantically and could not even utter a word of doubting Wen Yao, let alone making a judgment and convicting the criminal.
Wen Ling held his chin and looked at the Dali Temple Minister: "Wait for me to help you think about it. What method should be used to help Wen Yao get rid of the crime and put the blame on me at the same time?
Ah, I've thought of it. Your Excellency can now say that this cloak was stolen from Wen Yao by the personal maid just to frame her.
Even if you still have no evidence, you can still say that I was just a maid who stole it, right?
Sir, what do you think of this idea of shifting the blame? ”
The Dali Temple Minister felt that he was being ridiculed, his face was burning, but he still said firmly: "It's not impossible. It's possible that the maid stole the cloak."
Now the people watching nearby couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang was so angry that she laughed out loud: "Master Dali Temple, what you mean is that this personal maid could have taken something and framed her mistress, but she chose to steal a cloak, which is the easiest to be caught and exposed when stealing?"
The wife of the Marquis of Zhennan said directly: "Mr. Dali Temple, your ability to handle affairs really makes me very suspicious. How did you get to this position? Do you rely on guesswork to solve cases like this?
If you don't look at the authenticated physical evidence, what are you checking for? Why not just arrest whoever you think is the murderer? Wouldn't that save a lot of effort? ”
The princess has figured out something by now. She is very direct and ruthless, saying, "Since the Dali Temple Minister is not capable of handling the case impartially, I will tell my brother exactly what happened today.
Princess Chen is not only my good friend, but also my brother's daughter-in-law. This involves human life, so it is a serious matter.
I think my brother the Emperor will investigate this matter thoroughly. Since the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is not capable of doing this, then let someone else in the same profession investigate.
The Dali Temple Chief was so embarrassed by the "Ladies Group" who were so disrespectful to him and scolded him in the face that his face turned red.
He originally thought that Princess Chen was an unloved daughter of the Wen family, and that Prince Chen was a useless prince with no power in the court.
Princess Chen should be a tough person on the outside, but actually a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated.
Even if he couldn't convict Princess Chen, it shouldn't be a problem to arrest her and lock her up for a few days to completely destroy her reputation.
This way he can get his job done and sell it well over there.
I didn't expect Princess Chen to be so capable. In just half an hour, she was able to investigate the matter thoroughly.
He still wanted to pretend to be ignorant and unreasonable, and the ladies headed by the eldest princess helped her to stand up so strongly...
But he couldn't convict Wen Yao, otherwise, the consequences waiting for him might be even worse...
Now the Dali Temple Minister is in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
He thought today was an easy job that he could do to please others, but he never expected that today he would be the unlucky guy who would be blamed for everything.
The Chief Justice of Dali Temple looked at Wen Yao for help. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if saying, "Auntie, please bear with it for now. I'll arrest you now and bail you out later."
But Wen Yao didn't seem to understand what he meant at all. She widened her eyes, and her gaze seemed to be filled with poison, as if she was determined to fight Wen Ling to the death.
The Dali Temple Minister knew that this was not someone who would give up easily, so today's matter was going to be difficult to handle.
Wen Yao couldn't speak. If she could speak, she would insist that Wen Ling had bribed her personal maid and framed her.
Anyway, as long as she insists on her words, and the King of Qi dotes on her, these people won't be able to do anything to her. Can they force her to confess?
It’s a pity that she can’t speak. She is almost angry to death. Why can’t she speak suddenly?
It must be Wen Ling's doing. She glared at Wen Ling, and her eyes seemed to say, if you have the guts, let me speak!
"Wen Ling, you bitch!"
Unexpectedly, Wen Yao was so anxious that she couldn't speak, but the next second she was suddenly able to speak, and a swear word came out of her mouth.
Wen Yao was startled herself. Seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, she quickly covered her mouth.
She looked towards Wen Ling and saw that Wen Ling was looking at her with a half-smile, and that look made her feel uneasy for some reason.
Wen Yao suddenly changed her mind and felt that she had suffered because she was too frank and spoke too directly.
This time she wants to go for a different style, she wants to look a little more pitiful.
Her eyes were red, and she wanted to say that she knew that her sister had never liked me, so...
What he said turned out to be: "Wen Ling, I was the one who sent people to kill him. I wanted to frame you and completely discredit you. Who told you to be so complacent?
I did it, but I have the support of the King of Qi. Didn’t you just marry a useless King Chen? What can you do to me? ”
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if the whole world inside and outside the tent suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Wen Yao in disbelief.
The Dali Temple Minister almost fell to his knees. He couldn't understand how Wen Yao dared to say such outrageous words. Is she crazy?
Even Wen Yao herself was stunned. Did she really say those words just now? !
This is obviously not what she wanted to say! !
Wen Ling pretended to be very scared and said in a weird tone, "Wow, the King of Qi is so powerful. I'm so scared. Will His Royal Highness the King of Qi chop off my head and my useless prince?"
"Madam, what are you talking about? Who wants to behead you and me?"
Suddenly, a familiar and clear male voice was heard from outside.
