V2.Chapter 24

"What do you mean? Is it a fake? " Emperor Zhaoxuan tightened his brow, and there was a deep flash in his brow.

"That's right," on the contrary, Leng Changxi stretched his eyebrows. He looked coldly at Qin Zhi, who had a strange expression, but turned to Qin yunuan, who was tender. "In other words, the dead man was not the eldest son of the Qin family."

"as like as two peas, the deceased is dressed in the clothes of Qin Jia Da Zi, and is very similar in shape. Even the knife wound on his back and the knife injury of Qin Jia Da Zi's son who had encountered accidental injuries during the study tour were just the same. Zhu Zuo said he did not believe that he had never made any mistakes in the autopsy for so many years, and it was impossible to capsize the boat in this small sewer.

In fact, Qin yunuan believed in Leng Changxi's conjecture. After all, what he saw at that time, Sima Ruiming asked people to tie stones to Qin Linfeng's feet to sink into the lake and die. Even if Qin Linfeng's water quality was no better, he could not have enough time to untie the stones on his feet. As for the dead who pretended to be Qin Linfeng, who came up with it and what was the purpose?

"as like as two peas, you can say that the face of the deceased has been scratched by the rocks under the pond, which is not clear." Leng Chang Xi confidently raised his head. "Even a man with the same looks can doubt whether he used a human skin mask, such as the last hunting on the imperial court, and what is a face badly mutilated?"

"Cold general means that the dog is still alive?" Qin asked tentatively.

"I'm not sure," Leng Changxi didn't give Qin Zhi a positive answer, not only the answer, but also a direct look. "After all, there are too many people who want your son's life."

There was a sudden peace in the hall, only empress Chen opened her mouth slowly: "but the problem is that general Leng only proposed that the dead person may not be the eldest young master of the Qin family, but he did not have enough evidence to prove that the dead person must not be the eldest young master of the Qin family. If general Leng insisted that the dead person was someone else, the palace just wanted to ask, the real body of the dead person Who is it? "

Empress Chen raised a very important question, but Leng Changxi was not flustered. When he looked at Qin yunuan, he suddenly picked out the corner of his mouth. Just then, the eunuch came to report that Liu Shangshu was kneeling outside, saying that the little son who came to the wedding banquet with him suddenly disappeared. He heard about the floating corpse in the lotus pond and worried about his little son 。

Emperor Zhaoxuan frowned, just waved and asked people to bring up Liu Shangshu.

In a short time, an old man over sixty was bowing and his face was haggard and bleak. He was an old comer, but now

"I'll see the emperor and the empress."

"You don't need to be polite. You are eager to see me. What's the matter?" Emperor Zhaoxuan tightened his eyebrows. Such a complicated murder happened in the imperial palace. How could it not upset people.

"Weichen came for his son," said Liu Shangshu, and tears flowed down his cheeks. He knelt down to Zhaoxuan emperor. "The emperor, Weichen's eldest son and second son died on the battlefield. Only three out of 40 Weichen had such a youngest son, but now he disappeared in the palace without any reason. Weichen heard about lotus pond At the time of the murder, the heart of Weichen was like a knife. I also hope that the emperor can see that Weichen has been loyal to Daqi for 40 years, and let Weichen have a look at the body, or let Weichen break his mind. "

Because the floating corpse of the lotus pond was dressed exactly as Qin Linfeng was dressed when he attended the banquet, people naturally thought that Qin Linfeng was the one who died when they found it. But after that discussion, the identity of the dead was really suspicious again.

"On the main hall, there is a corpse, which is so dirty that it may collide with the dragon body." Empress Chen advised, but Qin yunuan was careful to find that empress Chen's face had begun to be unnatural.

Emperor Zhaoxuan took a look at empress Chen, pondered for a moment, and suddenly decisively ordered, "let someone bring up the body."

The emperor said that the people below dare not not disobey his words. Four eunuchs with white face masks appeared from the front of the palace, carrying a stretcher two times before and two times after. On the stretcher, there was the body of a man about seven feet tall, lying upright and covered with white cloth. It could be identified from the corners of the clothes exposed under the white cloth. This was the clothes Qin Linfeng wore today 。

As soon as the body was carried in, the faces of Qin Zhi and Liu Shangshu showed a sad look.

"Facing the wind." Qin Zhi reaches out to uncover the white cloth on the body, but is stopped by Zhuo.

"Lord Qin, the dead man's face is totally destroyed, which is very ugly. I suggest you not to look at it."

"This is my son." Qin is a little excited.

"Father, this is in the hall," Qin Yu said coldly. "Even if you are not afraid, you have to worry about whether such behavior will collide with the emperor's empress."

"Shut up! You are not filial! " Qin said angrily.

While Liu Shangshu silently lifted the white cloth on the arm of the corpse, shaking and shaking, the old hand gingerly lifted the clothes on the arm on the right side of the corpse, fixed his eyes, but was surprised.

"How could it be like this?" Liu Shangshu said with disbelief. "My little son had a maple leaf birthmark on his right arm, but why..."Qin yunuan subconsciously wants to move forward, but is stopped by Leng Changxi. In his ear is Leng Changxi's words: "the body is too dirty. Don't get close to it."

"Impossible." Liu Shangshu's heart was hardened, and he went to take off the body's shoes. The body had been soaked in the lotus pond for a while, and it was slightly swollen. The shoes were also very difficult to take off. But Liu Shangshu did not know where the strength came from. He pulled down the body's shoes, and looked at the soles of the body's feet, and suddenly fell suddenly. His mouth just murmured, "impossible, how can it be?". ”

"Liu Shangshu has read it carefully?" Leng Changxi glanced at Liu Shangshu, who had fallen on the ground. He had already checked the place Liu Shangshu had seen. "Do you think it's strange that the birthmark on your arm and the black mole on the sole of your foot were gone, but instead they were all scars. If you look at them, you will think that they were also scratched by the rocks under the pond. Although the wounds It has been blistered by the pool water, but when you look carefully, you can still recognize that the cut end of the wound is neat. It is clear that someone killed Mr. Liu cruelly in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and then peeled off the skin of the place with birthmark and nevus, pretending to be injured accidentally. "

"So So... " Liu Shangshu has stuttered a little. It's very inappropriate to be so embarrassed in front of the emperor, but he has no strength to sit up from the ground.

"That's right, Liu Shangshu. I'm sorry to tell you that the dead man lying in front of you is Mr. Liu, not Mr. Qin, or Mr. Liu is just a substitute for Mr. Qin." When Leng Changxi finished speaking, he owed a debt. Although he didn't like to talk with the old ministers of the same Dynasty, Liu Shangshu was also a well-known elder in the court. Leng Changxi also respected him, but his character made him speechless. What he could do was to keep checking.

The old man, who is over sixty years old, suddenly hides his face on the ground and sobs. He keeps reading his little son's name in his mouth.

Qin sighed. He didn't know whether it was a sudden relaxation or a sudden heaviness. He stepped forward and patted Liu Shangshu on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry."

"So father, do you still insist that it's yunuan who killed people?" Qin yunuan's sudden words stunned Qin Zhi. "My elder brother and I don't want to slander yunuan. But now we have determined that the dead man is master Liu. Yunuan has no grievance or hatred with him. How can we take someone to kill him in the lotus pond? Even if yunuan lost his heart and life, but in such a short period of time, he killed Mr. Liu, who was taller than yunuan, and he had to strip off his feet and birthmark on his arm. Yunuan was just a weak woman, and his father also looked up to yunuan too much. "

"You can't, but isn't it easy for the servant girl named Leng Shuang around you?" Qin's quality is ironic.

"Well, now my father really wants to say that yunuan is a sinner. I don't need to worry about the past father daughter friendship."

"Well, unless you can find a witness that you have never been to the lotus pond." Qin qualitative looked at Qin yunuan coldly, not like a daughter whose blood is thicker than water, but rather like his biggest enemy. "As for father daughter friendship, I said on the day you returned home that you would be expelled from the Qin family."

Qin's words just fell, but outside the hall suddenly rang an old but powerful voice.

"I can prove that the three little grandmothers of ningwangfu have never been to the lotus pond."

Qin yunuan was also slightly surprised by this sound. Looking at the figure of shangguanyi suddenly appearing in front of the palace, Qin yunuan also felt a sense of support.

"Mr. shangguanyi." Seeing the sudden appearance of shangguanyi, Emperor Zhaoxuan's body was involuntarily leaning forward, his eyes were full of respect and humility as a younger generation, so he almost got up to meet him, but his dignity as an emperor kept him dignified.

Like a banished immortal, shangguanyi, dressed in white, walked slowly along the sixteen golden copper pillars in the resplendent palace like a breeze, until he reached the bottom of the steps and made a Confucian gift to Emperor Zhaoxuan: "I've seen the emperor, I've seen the empress."

Before emperor Zhaoxuan began to exchange greetings, shangguanyi said: "I can testify for the third young grandma of King Ning's mansion. Since the third young grandma left, I have been talking about poetry with him. There are the third young grandma's brother. We have been together until the murder."
