Chapter 122 The Origin of the Dagger

Prince Li sent people to inspect the carriage, and also sent people to the medical center to understand Yuan's injuries.

As for the interrogation in the mansion, he didn't stop either.

He began to formally replace Lord Liang, and pressed Mrs. Linglong. First, he disrupted Mrs. Linglong's position about the distance the guards were catching up with, and asked Murong Zhuangzhuang's guards to come out and explain the distance between the car in front and the car behind and how long it took to catch up with Mrs. Linglong. Mrs. Linglong could not refute this point, so Prince Li continued to press for details.

"You said she insulted you, and you told me every word, how did she insult you?" Prince Li asked.

Although Mrs. Linglong was in a mess, she quickly regained her composure, "Returning to the lord, she first accused the concubine of being a poor parent, saying that her daughter Wan'er pleaded for the prince in the palace, questioned the decision of the regent, and lost the position of the prime minister. Face, and then said that Wan'er hooked the prince, that the prince loved Zi'an at first, but was snatched away from him, so that Zi'an had no way to be the prince's concubine, and the concubine had been patient at first, but later, she actually said that the concubine Shameless, having an affair with others, this kind of framing of my concubine is unbearable, so I contradicted her a few words..."

Prince Li interrupted her, "How did you contradict her? Tell me the exact words."

Mrs. Linglong bit her lips, "The concubine said, if the lady doesn't like the concubine, just say yes, why bother to pile up such accusations? A woman's reputation is more important than anything else. Doesn't the lady frame the concubine like this to force the concubine to death? "

"Well, what then?" Prince Li asked her to continue talking.

"Then Madam became angry and rushed up to beat the concubine, cursing while beating..."

"How did she scold you? Tell me the exact words!" Prince Li said again.

The old lady said: "My lord, there is no need to narrate these swear words, I am afraid that the people here are not willing to hear them."

Prince Li said unhappily: "Madam, it's not a matter of whether you want to hear it or not. Since the case has been notified to the Yamen, it should go to the Yamen for trial. If you open the court here, it is a violation of the rules, but let it go. After all, there are small My aunt is here, but I have to follow the procedures of the yamen for handling cases, and I can't say that the murder process is bloody and no one wants to hear it, so I don't force the prisoner to explain."

The old lady turned her face away with a livid face, feeling very angry at Prince Li for not giving him any face.

Zian has been standing by Yuan Shi's side, holding Yuan Shi's hand, his eyebrows lowered, but he couldn't restrain the coldness in his eyes.

Prince Li did a better job than she imagined, and she finally understood why such an arrogant person like Xiao Tuo would admire Prince Li.

Madam Linglong had no choice but to answer: "My lord, she beat the concubine while cursing, you poisonous woman, you bitch, for more than ten years, no matter how much I have chased you away, how can you be so brazen? Hurry up and die... that's probably it."

"Don't guess, are you sure?" Prince Li asked.

"Yes, sure!" Mrs. Linglong was afraid that he would have to say it again, so she nodded and said yes.

Prince Li waved his hand, "Okay, you rest first, please come out Xia Wan'er, I have something to ask her."

Mrs. Linglong was taken aback, "What else do you want to ask, sir? Why don't you just ask my concubine, I remember clearly."

"It's up to you to remember clearly. Since she is in the carriage, I have to ask her about this again."

Xia Wan'er was brought out, she couldn't hear anything in the inner hall, so naturally she didn't know what Madam Linglong said just now.

Prince Li asked her to repeat what Mrs. Linglong justified when Yuan scolded Mrs. Linglong.

The mother and daughter were only correct in their confessions, and there was nothing wrong with fabricating the content of the curse. Fortunately, although it was not quite right, generally speaking, it was nothing more than this.

After Xia Wan'er finished answering, she added another sentence, saying, "I may have misremembered a bit, because the situation was quite chaotic at the time, but that's about it."

Prince Li said: "I asked you, just now your mother said that Yuan Shi had asked you to give her five thousand taels of silver, so she would give up. You answer this king, your mother has agreed to give the five thousand taels of silver ?”

Xia Wan'er looked at Mrs. Linglong. Mrs. Linglong couldn't say anything, so she could only make a gesture, swaying gently on the right side, indicating that she hadn't talked about this point.

But Xia Wan'er got it wrong, and she immediately replied: "Although she proposed that, we don't have so much money, so in the end we didn't agree to her, so she went crazy and beat my mother and me."

Madam Linglong's face turned pale when she heard this answer.

Murong Zhuangzhuang couldn't help laughing, the third child has his way.

"Well," Prince Li nodded, "Then, your mother said that Yuan Shi proposed that you were not allowed to marry the crown prince, and that Xia Zian would marry the crown prince instead of you. Do you agree to this? Just say it, your mother has already married the crown prince." I have answered, this king just wants to see if your statements are consistent."

Xia Wan'er looked at Madam Linglong again, Madam Linglong couldn't help but said: "My lord, this is..."

"It's not your turn to speak yet. If it's in the hall, I'll slap you." Prince Li gave her a stern look, frightening Madam Linglong to silence immediately.

Xia Wan'er had some doubts in her eyes, but she couldn't figure out what Prince Li was thinking, and she didn't know why her mother said that. After a moment of hesitation, she shook her head, "We disagree."

"En!" Prince Li looked at Mr. Liang, "Do you have anything to say?"

Mr. Liang's face was pale, "My lord, the next official is reckless, reckless."

He kept wiping off his sweat, and looked a little vain. If there were problems with the confessions of the two, it was not credible. Since one party lied, the truth must be on Yuan's side.

The so-called being insulted and then Yuan jumped off the carriage to frame her and murder the mistress, etc., are all false.

"Reckless?" Prince Li snapped angrily, "Are you reckless? Who brought this case to the yamen tonight? You order someone to go back and make a file, and submit it to the Ministry of Punishment together with the evidence that the king ordered someone to inspect the carriage." , and then submitted to Master Cui by the Ministry of Punishment."

Giving it to Master Cui is equivalent to giving it to Shang Shusheng, which is to be sent to the regent.

Mr. Liang felt that his official career had come to an end, so he said softly, "Yes, I know."

He looked at Mrs. Liang as if asking for help, but Mrs. Liang stood up expressionlessly, "I remember that there is still something to be done, so please proceed with this case slowly."

As he spoke, he said to the prince: "Your Highness is injured, so it's time to go back and rest."

The prince was eager to leave. From the moment Prince Li came, he didn't want to stay any longer. He wasn't so naive as to be able to fool Prince Li with what happened tonight.

Xia Wan'er was in a hurry, "Is there no trial? She really hurt us. Since the matter has been taken over by the yamen, the yamen should punish her."

"Shut up!" Prime Minister Xia scolded angrily, extremely stupid, already like this, and still can't see the reality clearly, how will he survive the struggle in the palace in the future?

Xia Wan'er stared blankly at her father, but she didn't know what went wrong.

"What are you hurrying to do?" Prince Li said, "Please sit down first, the crown prince, and the grand tutor also sit down. The trial of this case has not yet been completed."

The Tai Tuo looked at Prince Li and said helplessly, "What else does your lord want?"

Prince Li looked at Zi'an, "Take out the dagger that hurt Chen Shi and Xia Wan'er."

Zi An didn't know why, so he took it out and handed it to Prince Li.

Prince Li casually threw the dagger to Mrs. Liang, "Look at the writing on the handle of the dagger."

Taifu Liang took it, but didn't look at it, but handed it back to Prince Li, "I'm not interested in weapons."

"Look first before talking!" Prince Li said coldly.

Now Taifu Liang only wanted to leave immediately, so he obeyed his words and looked down, his face turned pale with fright.
