Yun Chuwei and Lord Xu exchanged a glance, both of them looking surprised.
What rumors are circulating in the capital? How come they don't know about them?
They hadn't expected that this Prince Xuan was also someone who could lie with such a straight face.
"Nonsense!" Wei Yi's face was extremely ugly, and he finally couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal.
Xie Xuan was not affected by Wei Yi's words and continued to proceed at his own pace.
He continued, "I checked, and the Dali Temple does indeed have cases involving these three young ladies. However, the person they previously sued was Yue Jingsheng, the nephew of the current empress and the son of the prime minister."
"The relatives of the three girls all claimed that their daughters were harassed by Yue Jingsheng before they disappeared. They also said that they saw Yue's guards following their daughters. Because they were neither found alive nor dead, and there was a lack of evidence, the three cases were suppressed after being submitted to the Dali Temple."
"Today, the relatives of the three girls have arrived at the Dali Temple. They intend to drop the original case. They will no longer sue Yue Jingsheng; they will sue you!"
Yun Chu smiled slightly, picked up where Xie Xuan left off, and said, "Brilliant! As long as Wei Yi's crimes are confirmed and he is sent to the execution ground, Yue Jingsheng's crimes can be cleared. If I were Yue Jingsheng, I would definitely help the Dali Temple find evidence, convict Wei Yi, and send him on his way."
Upon hearing their words, Wei Yi's hands trembled involuntarily.
However, he quickly calmed down.
He knew it was possible, but what if it wasn't?
What if these people are bluffing him?
Wei Yi looked up at Xie Xuan, gritting her teeth slightly: "Your Highness, are you investigating the case of those three women and haven't made any progress? Now that three dead bodies have appeared, you're using those three women's names to trick me? Actually, there's no such rumor at all; it's all your lies, isn't it? I'll say it again: I don't know what happened, and I didn't kill anyone!"
Xie Xuan looked at Wei Yi indifferently and said slowly, "A rumor is something whose source is unknown. If I can say it here, I can naturally say it elsewhere. If I say it elsewhere, then the rumor will exist, won't it?"
Wei Yi's face was grim. He looked at Xie Xuan with an expression of disbelief.
"His Highness Prince Xuan is such a shameless person!"
Xie Xuan didn't care: "As you said, what I said just now was all a test. What I'm about to say is the truth. Besides the rumors that you raped and murdered three young ladies, I will also have rumors spread that Yue Jingsheng raped and murdered three young ladies and dumped their bodies at the Sanqing Temple. At that time, public resentment will boil over, and do you think they will choose to protect you or Yue Jingsheng!"
Wei Yi's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.
If Xie Xuan were to spread these two rumors, the Yue family would definitely suppress him to death in order to protect Yue Jingsheng.
"You...you are despicable and shameless!" Wei Yi shouted angrily.
Wei Yi didn't understand why this person didn't follow the usual procedures when investigating cases.
Xie Xuan replied nonchalantly, "That's still not as shameless as you guys!"
Yun Chuwei turned her head slightly to look at Wei Yi and said, "Wei Yi, I think you should just confess! While you're in this prison, you're bound to be used as a scapegoat. After you get out, you'll inevitably be silenced. If you confess, you'll be treated leniently, and you might even become a witness. That way, Lord Xu and His Highness Prince Xuan will do everything they can to keep you alive!"
After hearing Yun Chuwei's words, Wei Yi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Just when everyone thought he wouldn't speak, he suddenly looked up at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Miss Yun, I want to ask you, how did you know that I... killed my master?"
It was because of Yun Chuwei that he became the way he is today.
He didn't blame Yun Chuwei, after all, he went to the Yun residence with the intention of harming Yun Chuwei.
Now that things have come to this, neither of them owes the other anything.
He just wanted to know where he went wrong.
Yun Chu smiled faintly and said, "Because I can tell fortunes, and I am especially good at physiognomy. I can tell at a glance whether someone has the face of someone who has killed their master or father."
"Who...who exactly are you?" Wei Yi stared at Yun Chuwei and asked.
Yun Chu smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, we can be considered fellow Daoists. My master is the sect leader of the Hidden Sect in Xian Valley!"
Wei Yi was taken aback, then said repeatedly, "No wonder! No wonder! I didn't lose unjustly. Bring me paper and pen, I'll confess everything!"
-
Soon, Xie Xuan obtained Wei Yi's testimony.
According to Wei Yi, all three girls were tortured to death by Yue Jingsheng.
Because Yue Jingsheng's villa was close to the Sanqing Temple, Yue Jingsheng forced him to help dispose of the corpse.
The first time he helped Yue Jingsheng dispose of a corpse, his master discovered it.
Yue Jingsheng forced him to get rid of his master.
He initially disagreed, but when his master threatened to report it to the authorities, he had no choice but to take action against his master.
Inside the pillars of the side hall of Sanqing Mountain, there is all the evidence of Yue Jingsheng's contact with him.
After reading the confession, Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan both fell silent.
Lord Xu, on the other hand, became more lively.
"Your Highness Prince Xuan is truly a divine being. How did you know that Yue Jingsheng and Wei Yi were related?"
Xie Xuan's expression remained calm: "Investigate? Anyone with a brain can find out!"
In his previous life, he had seen the two of them walking together.
Once you have a direction, you can find out the answer with a little research.
Lord Xu choked, his expression twisting slightly, but he quickly put on a smile again: "Your Highness Prince Xuan is indeed remarkable! And how did you know the identities of the three victims?"
"Just a guess!" Xie Xuan said coolly.
Investigating a case is nothing more than a process of boldly hypothesizing and carefully verifying.
When coincidences, clues, and evidence are presented, countless ideas arise.
When he had this idea, he verified it with the coroner one by one based on the characteristics of the three people, and they all matched.
Mr. Xu:...
Just as he was about to say something, Yun Chuwei stood up.
"It's getting late, I'll head back now!" Yun Chuwei said.
After saying that, she took a step and walked out.
Upon seeing this, Lord Xu immediately followed, saying, "Miss Yun, let me escort you!"
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything.
Xie Xuan frowned slightly and quickly followed.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Jingzhao Prefecture, Xie Xuan grabbed Yun Chuwei, who was about to walk away, and whispered, "Take my carriage."
Yun Chuwei remained silent for a moment, but finally got into Xie Xuan's carriage.
Xie Xuan naturally got into the car as well.
Inside the carriage, Yun Chuwei lowered her head and remained silent.
Xie Xuan looked at her with a complicated expression.
He knew very well that even if Yun Chuwei wasn't behind his death in his previous life, she was still involved.
He should have hated her, he should have killed her.
But after she explained, he couldn't bring himself to do it anymore.
Seeing her head bowed in thought, looking forlorn, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He wanted to ask her what was wrong, and he even wanted to take some of the blame for her.
That shouldn't be...
"what's on your mind?"
After hesitating for a long time, Xie Xuan finally asked the question.
