Chapter 471 The Burned Horse Stool

Chapter 471 Burnt Horse Stool

Lin Tingyan, the king of Beibin, and Lin Tingkai, the king of Nandu, looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at the group of eager soldiers around him, guessing that he wanted to stop Lin Jinxiao from investigating the Qi family.

He was really so confused that he went to offend the new rich man of the imperial court for the sake of a merchant family.

Looking at Lin Tingkai, who was full of displeasure, Lin Tingyan's face also darkened, and he advised in a gentle voice: "Brother Wang, please withdraw all the people who asked you. If you are like this, how can someone named Emperor's Nephew enter the house to search?"

?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xueyi, Qi Yuhuan, and Qi Yujie immediately panicked and said anxiously: "Your Highness, Jia Ci is newly deceased. Instead of punishing the murderer of Jia Ci, you came to my Qi family to start a fight. Could it be that you suspect that it is us?"

Could it be that someone in the family killed Jia Ci?"

Tang Ru didn't know when the two princes arrived at Luyan Port, and he was also very puzzled by Lin Jinxiao's behavior.

After all, Jiang Xueyi is a close confidant supported by the Tang family. Now he holds the coastal defense camp, which is a force that cannot be underestimated for him. He cannot just watch something happen to the Qi family again.

"Your Highnesses, Zheng Haichuan has been arrested and imprisoned, and he also went to the dye factory in Cangshan Mountain on the night of the incident. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that he was the one who killed Mrs. Zheng. The Qi family is currently holding a funeral.

After all, the dead are respected, so it is not appropriate to go in and disturb the spirits of the dead."

Tang Ru wanted to persuade everyone with nice words, but he immediately received a disapproving refutation from Chu Nanzhi:

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Mrs. Zheng was abandoned in the wilderness. At this time, it is more important to find out the real culprit who killed her so that the deceased can rest in peace."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xueyi and the Qi sisters with burning eyes, and said thoughtfully: "If Zheng Haichuan really wanted to kill Mrs. Zheng, why would he go out of the city blatantly? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

"Since Princess Pingning thinks it is neither Wu Enrong nor Zheng Haichuan, then who is the real murderer?"

Lin Tingkai still suspected that she had the motive for committing the crime. Her tactic of calling a thief to catch a thief was really annoying.

Two imperial officials were arrested and imprisoned in one day. She still refused to give up. Lin Tingkai seemed to have lost her patience.

Staring at everyone angrily, he rebuked coldly: "Today, my king will be the first to say ugly things. If you can go into the house and find something, then that's it. If you can't find anything, don't blame me for turning his back on him.

I will definitely go before His Majesty and reprimand you for your willful behavior and disrespect for your elders."

Although he said this in front of everyone, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was accusing Lin Jinxiao.

Jiang Xueyi also quickly took advantage of the situation and said: "Although I don't know what His Highness Prince Pingning has found, I can't guess His Highness's intentions by rashly entering the palace to search."

After a pause, he looked at Chu Nanzhi again, and his voice gradually became sad: "I know that because of Wen Yu's incident, Princess Pingning has a lot of jealousy towards the old and young of my Qi family. Your Highness loves the princess and wants to do it for her.

It’s understandable to express bad temper and demean one’s position.

But His Highness has put his nephew in jail, all the casinos have been closed down, and even the Qi family will not let the fields here and there be rented to tenants. Now he still wants to make a fuss in front of the mother-in-law's funeral. It is too unkind.

A little more."

Having said this, he knelt down and prayed sadly: "Please forgive me for a few days, Your Highness. Now my mother-in-law has been killed, leaving behind my wife and aunt. They are all heartbroken because of my mother-in-law, so I have to take my place in my humble stead."

After the funeral, I am willing to go to the Yamen in person to accept the crime, so as to vent the anger in the hearts of His Highness and the Princess. I only hope that Your Highness can forgive the two sisters and stop embarrassing them."

These words made everyone present feel moved.

"Chiang Censor, please rise."

Lin Tingyan helped Jiang Xueyi up and said with a half-smile: "Don't use these words to prevaricate everyone. Why Qi Xiaolang was imprisoned, why the casino was closed down, and even the things that happened in the various casinos of your Qi family are all well known.

, you can’t blame me, as for Mrs. Zheng’s case, my nephew is just here for a routine search, you don’t have to take it seriously.”

King Beibin's words made Qi Yuhuan frown, and he immediately knelt down and cried: "Your Highness, how could anyone come to the victim's house to search so violently? Those who didn't know thought it was the slave family and husband, and my sister was killed.

Where’s Jiaci?”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao angrily, supported Jiang Xueyi, and said angrily: "Husband, don't beg them. Our family will live peacefully in the future. If they still come here to stir up trouble, it will be a big deal for us."

Go to Jingling City to file a complaint."

"Complaint?"

Chu Nanzhi really couldn't bear to listen, and frowned: "If we really go to the imperial court, the evil things your Qi family has done over the years would be too numerous to describe, right?"

"you"

Qi Yuhuan stared in anger.

Lin Tingkai frowned and said displeasedly: "Princess Pingning is also a person who has solved many major cases. She should know that conclusive evidence is the key to holding people accountable. It is not what a judge does to slander a loved one out of thin air. Since you

If you think Zheng Haichuan is not the murderer of Mrs. Zheng, then you can tell me who is the real murderer?"

As he spoke, he pointed sarcastically at the Qi family: "Are they Jiang Yushi and his wife or her sister-in-law?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm here today to answer your questions."

Chu Nanzhi smiled calmly and ordered the servants under his command: "Enter the mansion."

As soon as the group stepped into the Qi family's residence, they saw several sergeants escorting the famous handyman over, holding several pieces of still smoking charcoal in their hands.

Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but frowned when he saw something was wrong with the situation.

I'm afraid the horse stool has been burned.

Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan looked at the charcoal in the hands of the escorted servants and sergeants, and asked hesitantly: "Why is this?"

"Reporting to your highness, we found this man secretly burning things in the stable, so we brought him here."

After the sergeant finished answering Lin Tingyan's words, he looked at Lin Jinxiao and showed him the charcoal in his hand: "Your Highness, this horse stool?"

The servant hurriedly interrupted the sergeant and replied: "Your Highnesses, this horse stool has long been damaged. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, I felt a little cold while staying in the stable. I wanted to chop some firewood to keep warm, but before I thought, I was killed.

The military men suspected that Xiao Xiao was up to something evil and brought him here."

Chu Nanzhi looked at the handyman attentively and found that it was the person who asked the question during the day. He sneered and said, "You are quite good at catching things up."

Taking the charcoal from the sergeants' hands, she looked at it carefully for a while. The horse stool that had been chopped into firewood was completely unrecognizable, and there were no clues left.

Jiang Xueyi was very angry. He glared at the couple angrily and said loudly: "Could it be that King Pingning and the princess came to the house with all their troops just to find this horse stool? It's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous. Is it possible that they want to be suspicious based on this horse stool?"

Someone from my Qi family killed my mother-in-law?"

"Yeah, I think it's quite ridiculous too."

Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "It is outrageous that a carriage can run back to the house from more than ten miles away. It is even more incredible that it can drag so many imperial officials into the water without knowing it. What is this?

Is it a coincidence, or an arrangement with ulterior motives?"

"What exactly does the princess want to say? Can you please clarify it?"

Jiang Xueyi became more and more impatient as he listened.

Qi Yuhuan comforted her with heartache: "Husband, we are not on the same level as them."

I dare not disrespect them openly, and I can only hold back my resentment in my heart.
