Chapter 129 Fake Assassin, Real Murderer
Xiao Tingye looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and then his gaze fell on Lin Zhaoyue's profile, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised.
Xie Yu slammed the gavel, "Who is here? Tell me your name!"
The two men lowered their heads and said, "Your Excellency, I am... the assassin who killed Princess Zhaohua. My name is Wang Shun."
Another person also whispered: "My name is Zhao Qianwu."
These two men looked like strong and powerful men, and were obviously skilled in martial arts.
Moreover, the news that the princess had caught the assassin had already spread throughout the capital, so no one was surprised to see these two people appear in the hall.
Not to mention, today's trial is about the assassin who assassinated the princess, and they want them to confess the real culprit behind the incident.
"Do you admit that you deliberately left this token of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts to frame the envoys of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts?" Xie Yu asked in a deep voice.
Wang Shun took a look at the token and said, "Yes."
Xie Yu continued, "Then, who is the person behind the scenes who ordered you to assassinate the princess?!"
When Xie Yu asked this question, everyone in the audience held their breath.
Wang Shun and Zhao Qianwu looked at each other.
Xie Yu curled his lips, "Is she here?"
Wang Shun and Zhao Qianwu raised their heads, and suddenly their eyes fell on the maid beside Concubine Li Chun.
Zhao Qianwu immediately pointed at her and said, "Sir, it's her!"
Wang Shun immediately agreed, "Yes, it's her!"
Lin Zhaoyue was just about to pick up a cup of tea to moisten her throat, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, a cup of tea was handed to her.
She thought Mu Ying handed it to her, so she took it without even looking at it and put it to her lips and took a sip.
Mu Ying, who was standing by and serving, looked at Lord Xiao who had just handed her the teacup, and then looked at the princess.
I feel very complicated.
But Lord Xiao seemed to be in a good mood, so she didn't feel as oppressed standing here anymore.
The identification of the two assassins made the maidservants beside Concubine Chun look ugly, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.
She reacted almost instinctively, "You're not assassins! You're fakes!"
"What they say is totally unbelievable!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and her face turned pale.
Lin Zhaoyue curled the corners of her lips slightly and slowly put down the teacup in her hand.
The emperor's expression was also somewhat cold at this time.
Concubine Chun's appearance is even more brilliant.
Xie Yu asked coldly, "How do you know they're fake? Has Miss Cuiping ever seen an assassin?"
Cui Ping's face was bleak. "No, I have never seen the assassin..."
How could this happen? She had clearly seen the bodies of the two assassins with her own eyes. Where did these two people come from?!
Why are they assassins?!
"But sir, I have never seen them. They are just talking nonsense!" Cuiping said anxiously.
Wang Shun sneered, "Miss, it was you who came to see us in person last time and gave us money. You asked us to assassinate Princess Zhaohua, so why don't you admit it?"
Zhao Qianwu also said: "Miss, you also said that if we complete the mission, the Queen in the palace will definitely not treat us unfairly."
Wang Shun continued, "Over the years, we have done a lot for this lady. This isn't the first time she's assassinated a princess. The lady is an old acquaintance of ours, so why doesn't she recognize us?"
The two pressed on step by step, even revealing some details.
For example, what Cuiping said to them every time she met them and every time she assassinated the princess.
And each of these times corresponds to the time when the princess was assassinated.
These details also made everyone certain that these two assassins must have participated in the assassination of the princess many times.
And who is the mastermind behind the scenes is already clear!
Cui Ping angrily said, "You are slandering me! I didn't say that to you! You are making it up!"
Concubine Chun's face was gloomy and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes.
how so?
Who are they?
She sent people to investigate, and found that the two assassins were dead!
It is clear that there should be no evidence!
Where did these two people come from!
They are not killers at all!
She suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Zhaoyue in disbelief.
But she saw Lin Zhaoyue was also looking at her, with a teasing look on her face.
It’s Lin Zhaoyue!
She understood!
These two were definitely arranged by Lin Zhaoyue! They weren't assassins at all!
She just wanted to use these two people to point the blame at her!
Thinking of this, she felt a little scared.
She always knew that Lin Zhaoyue was no ordinary person, but she never expected that she could do this.
True and false, real and fake.
She was acting in everything.
She told everyone that the assassin had been arrested, and no one would doubt whether the assassin she caught was real or fake.
She then replaced the two killers with her own men and asked them to act according to her requirements, making all the evidence extremely conclusive!
At this moment, she actually felt a little scared and regretful.
What he was afraid of was that Lin Zhaoyue might not just be targeting him.
What she regretted was...she shouldn't have provoked her!
This kind of cunning, this kind of means...
This time, she was afraid that she would kill herself!
Her pale face made her originally delicate makeup look a little bleak. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a knot.
The emperor said calmly, "What happened to my beloved concubine? Could it be that the assassination of Princess Zhaohua is really related to my beloved concubine?"
The tone was calm but contained murderous intent, which was chilling.
Concubine Chun immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I don't know what happened. These two are clearly mad dogs biting people indiscriminately. Your Majesty and the others must not believe their one-sided words!"
The emperor just snorted coldly, "Continue the trial!"
Xiao Tingye curled his thin lips and picked up the teacup beside him to take a sip.
Mu Ying pursed her lips.
I really want to say, Lord Xiao, the tea you drank was the same tea the princess just drank.
But Lord Xiao should know this, right?
There is only a cup of tea on the table.
Or I just poured it myself.
Xie Yu said loudly: "Come here, take Cui Ping down!"
Cuiping was immediately captured by the officers and made to kneel in the hall.
Cuiping became anxious. She glanced at Concubine Chun and then at the two assassination witnesses beside her.
"It's not you at all! They're not assassins at all! They're fake!!"
Wang Shun said coldly, "Miss Cuiping, have you forgotten that the last time you came to us and asked us to assassinate Princess Zhaohua, you specifically mentioned that the lady in the palace said that if the princess doesn't die this time, all of us must die?"
Cui Ping responded reflexively, "Nonsense! I wasn't meeting you two at all! I wasn't talking to you!"
The expressions of everyone present changed.
The officials who were listening to the hearing also showed expressions of shock and were in an uproar.
Qi Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the woman beside the emperor.
Concubine Chun was trying her best to remain calm at this moment, but the Dankou she was holding tightly had already sunk deeply into the flesh of her palm.
Xie Yu sneered, "Miss Cuiping didn't meet them, could it be someone else? Did she say this to anyone else?" He paused slightly, "Could it be the real assassin who killed the princess?"
Cuiping was already a little flustered when she was just captured, and then she was interrogated by the two of them.
There was no way to think about it at all, it was a completely subconscious reaction.
Only when Xie Yu asked her back did she react.
She glanced at Concubine Chun and immediately said, "No! I didn't! I just said the wrong thing!"
She kowtowed hurriedly, her voice trembling: "I just said something wrong, please forgive me, my lord!"
[Don't dare to speak]
[Me too... What's going on? Aren't these two assassins?]
[Hahahahaha, you don’t know, right? I know, because I’m a princess fan.]
"Excuse me, what's going on? I'm new here and haven't used the princess perspective before."
[The princess had actually killed the two assassins a long time ago and replaced them with two death row prisoners. So these two people were actually the princess's men pretending to be assassins, do you understand?]
[Holy crap! ! ]
[No need to be ridiculous. Before I saw this, I actually didn't think the princess would kill the assassin and exchange him for the death row prisoner just for this move. All I can say is, the princess is awesome.]
【The princess is awesome! 】
[What's so great about it? Is bearing false witness something to be proud of?]
[Have you ever heard the saying before? Those who use tactics are dirty. Besides, the princess didn't harm anyone, nor did she wrongly accuse anyone. She simply used the most effective method to achieve her goal.]
[When Notre Dame comes out to arrest people, I hope to arrest you and the heroine together]
