The smile in Xiao Yixiu's eyes was so cold that he could kill someone, "I'm afraid Vice Minister Zhang won't be able to stay out of this matter that easily, right? "No matter when this prisoner on death row will be replaced, it is still your responsibility to say that you did not verify his true form before the execution!"
Prince Li laughed, "I don't understand either. It has been just a month since I left the Board of Justice, how could something like this happen?" Could it be that I have actually turned over the Board of Justice to Minister Xin? "
When Zhang Rui saw his smile, goosebumps rose all over his body. He had been under Xiao Ling Bin's control for many years, so he knew his old superior's character. Xiao Ling Bin was a smiling tiger. The more he smiled, the more merciless he felt.
"This official …" I really do not know, but this matter will definitely be verified. Zhang Rui broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Lingbin suddenly said, "That's right. Since Madam Cheng is not the real person, what about the other person?"
Zhang Rui looked at the other corpse in shock. He thought, it can't be that ridiculous. Could it be that someone, a mere servant girl like Hui Qiao, spent time and effort to exchange for her corpse? His neck was stiff, and he didn't even have the courage to order someone to examine the body.
Xiao Yixiu gave him a glance, and Yu Ying took off Hui Qiao's hood. She brushed away her messy hair and answered, "Prince Li is indeed wise, and Hui Ying is also fake."
Xiao Yixiu looked at Zhang Rui silently, and his trembling became even more intense.
"This matter will be left to Vice Minister Zhang to verify." Xiao Lingbin purposefully emphasized the words "check your ass" as he smiled even more amiably.
Xiao Lingfei also smiled, but didn't deny it. He had only met them on the way here, so he didn't know what had happened. However, he could tell from the strange scene before him that there was something fishy about this matter. Xiao Yi Xiu knew about it, and perhaps Xiao Ling Bin also knew about it.
When they were about to get off the execution platform, Xiao Yi Xiu looked back at Cheng Shuo, "Commander Cheng has some free time today. If you're not on duty, come and collect the corpse."
His half-smile was clearly saying, "How do you know a dead body is not your sister?"
Cheng Shuo's face turned gray as he lowered his head and backed up.
The three of them left the crowd and gradually walked down the wide street. The people following behind each of them were clearly aware of their extraordinary bearing. Their status must be very high, and those who saw them would immediately give way.
Xiao Lingfei suddenly spoke up, "Yixiu, judging from the Cheng Family's expressions, there seems to be something unusual. It's obvious that they know about it." However, you say that this Madam Cheng was swapped out and even a maid went through so much trouble that she fell out of her bag. What kind of illness is this? "Moreover, wasn't Hui Qiao the witness of Lady Cheng? The Cheng family should hate her to the bones, and even switched her to someone else …"
"Although she was switched, that doesn't mean she's still alive." Xiao Yi Xiu turned around and looked at him, "Sixteenth Imperial Uncle, before this, I've already found Hui Ying's corpse. Although her face has been scratched beyond recognition, there are still people close to her who can tell who she is by the small traits of her body. "
Xiao Ling Fei asked coldly, "Did you let her family identify her corpse?"
Xiao Yi Xiu nodded.
Xiao Lingfei sighed lightly, "It seems that there is a problem with the verdict in this case. As for the truth, I'm afraid we'll have to find Lady Cheng first."
Xiao Lingbin smiled. "Don't worry. When the water falls, the stone will come out eventually."
He didn't seem to be too concerned about this case. After a few laughs, he clasped his hands behind his back and left, leaving Xiao Lingfei and Xiao Yi Xiu behind as they headed towards the Mo King's Manor.
"Sixteenth Imperial Uncle intends to follow me back to my estate?" With their status, it wasn't suitable for them to walk together at the moment. They should be keeping each other at arm's length.
Xiao Ling Fei didn't answer, but walked along with him in silence for a while and then said, "Yi Xiu, you said that Hui Qiao is dead. In order to destroy the body, we should burn her more thoroughly. Why do you need to leave a whole body with only a cut on its face for you to identify?"
Xiao Yi Xiu gave him a meaningful smile.
"Did royal brother approve of you doing all this?"
Xiao Yi Xiu didn't answer, but Xiao Ling Fei understood what was going on.
Hui Qiao's body could not be burnt to testify. Someone had used her to testify against Cheng Yingzhi. It was clearly a case of framing, which was why they were able to quickly kill her afterwards. It was so much that they couldn't wait for her to be executed.
After all, there were still three days left before the execution. Who could guarantee that a servant who even sold her a master would keep her mouth shut?
And when Cheng Ying was switched out, it was the key step in this game of chess — if someone was to blame for this, she would have to live.
Xiao Lingfei leaned close to Xiao Yixiu and whispered, "To tell you the truth, even the death of a servant girl in your mansion can cause such a huge disturbance. This servant girl …" Was it you who did it? "
Xiao Yi Xiu looked back at him with a faint smile on his face.
From the moment Wu Yu entered the mansion, Xiao Yixiu had already known who was behind her.
Wu Changqing treated this one daughter as the apple of his eye. She wasn't assigned as a concubine to the sickly King Mo during the palace selection. However, the Emperor summoned him and told him to send his daughter to the Mo Residence. How could he dare disobey?
To prevent the pampered Wu Yu from being unable to shoulder this responsibility, Ming Zhu was actually sent to her side to monitor and support her, and not to order her servant girls around. The Emperor had naturally calculated it before, randomly choosing an undisciplined lady to be his spy. Not to mention the fact that it was too easy to reveal his identity, the probability of him completing the mission was also very low.
As a result, whether it was true or whether Ming Zhu was lying in the middle of it, no one knew. However, it was certain that another power had discovered Ming Zhu's identity, or perhaps Ming Zhu had discovered the other party's identity, so she had been silenced.
Regardless of the reason, Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li had decided to go with the flow and hang Ming Zhu's body in front of Wu Yu's bed. The result was that Wu Yu's tenacious heart had been completely destroyed, causing her to go insane.
This matter required the detection of a murderer, and Cheng Ying Zhi was the best choice.
After the Yan King Xiao Yijin had looked at Cheng Yingzhi and failed to choose her to enter into the Prince Yan's estate, he took the opportunity to visit Imperial Concubine Lan in the palace to secretly pass through Chen Cang with her. He promised that if she ascended to the throne in the future, he would make her the legitimate Crown Prince's consort.
In order to achieve this kind of promise, Cheng Ying took the risk and entered the Mo King Manor, becoming the scapegoat for killing Ming Zhu.
This was only one part of a series of plans. Not only would it be able to drive Cheng Ying out of the palace, it would also be the next step of the chain effect – he would use Cheng Ying's transfer to the head judge, Xin Yingning.
Although Xiao Lingfei didn't guess it to be 100%, he could deduce it to be 60% to 70%.
He had only gone to the execution grounds once, but from their expressions and conversations, he was able to deduce such an outcome.
Even to the extent that Xiao Yi Xiu was inwardly shocked.
"Alright, Uncle Sixteen is returning to the estate." Xiao Lingfei patted Xiao Yixiu's shoulder. "No matter what you do, I know you have your reasons."
Xiao Yi Xiu smiled. "Alright, thank you for your concern, Uncle Sixteenth."
After the two of them broke up, they walked in the opposite direction. Xiao Yi Xiu walked very far away, and turned back to look at Xiao Lingfei's back.
