Chu Wenxu was so frightened that he lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."
Xiao Jue snorted coldly: "Why don't you dare to testify against the regent and ministers without complete evidence?
You said that someone saw the murderer disappearing near Shen's Mansion last night, so I should ask him carefully."
As he spoke, he gave an order: "Bring the witnesses from the patrol camp."
Not long after, the three officials who tracked the banshee last night were brought to the palace.
Xiao Jue glanced at the three people and asked: "Who was the murderer you were chasing last night? Tell him clearly what happened last night in front of His Majesty. If there is any concealment or lie, you should know the consequences."
The three of them couldn't help but tremble when they heard this. Fortunately, the boss of Natian was calm enough and responded: "I heard something strange while patrolling Suzaku Street last night. When I went to check, I saw a flash of white shadow.
So he led two of his men to chase him until they reached Qingzhu Lane, but the white shadow disappeared."
Xiao Jue asked: "Then you saw with your own eyes that Bai Ying entered the Shen Mansion?"
Boss Tian shook his head: "No."
Xiao Jue asked again: "Is there only the Shen family in Qingzhu Lane?"
Boss Tian shook his head again: "No, there are two private houses in the alley."
Xiao Jue nodded, looked at Chu Wenxu and said: "Then I am confused, how did Mr. Chu determine that Bai Ying entered the Shen Mansion?
Could it be that Mr. Chu, you are clairvoyant and saw it yourself?"
Chu Wenxu choked and stammered and didn't know how to refute?
Xiao Jue snorted and said: "Why, didn't Mr. Chu just say with certainty that Mr. Shen and the Regent were hiding the murderer? Why are you stammering now?
If Lord Shen and the Regent were really hiding the murderer, they would not have sent so many officers and soldiers to patrol the city last night.
It happened that the people in the patrol camp saw the murderer fleeing to Qingzhu Lane. This was clearly someone who was deliberately framing the regent and Mr. Shen.
If Your Majesty had listened to you today and had Shen's house searched, then the Regent and Master Shen would not be able to escape by jumping into the Yellow River.
If they are found, that's it. But what if they can't be found? Are you going to use the monster excuse again to randomly find any woman around the regent and convict her? Falsely accuse her of being a monster?"
He raised the last note, his voice was cold and stern, and he looked around at the people in the hall with his dark eyes.
This momentum was really overwhelming. No one in the hall dared to speak, and everyone lowered their heads.
Xiao Jue withdrew his gaze and said to Xiao Chongjun: "Father, the so-called monsters causing trouble are all nonsense. Some people want to use ghosts to confuse the people and frame the regent.
I also ask my father to give Mr. Shen some time, I believe he will be able to find out the real murderer and give an explanation to the people."
Xiao Chongjun nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to Shen Aiqing. I will ask the regent and the prince to assist you in the investigation. You can dispatch the various departments in the capital as you please, and we must find the real culprit."
Chen Chi knelt down and received the order: "I will do my best to solve this case."
"good."
Xiao Chongjun responded and said to everyone: "Let's go to court."
The officials respectfully saw off His Majesty and then exited in an orderly manner.
Xiao Jue and Shen Chi finally left. They left the main hall. Shen Chi asked: "Did the regent ask you to come?"
Xiao Jue said: "He guessed that someone would be in trouble this morning, so he asked me to come and take a look."
Shen Chi frowned and said, "Thank you for coming. If you really get what they want, you will be in trouble."
Chu Wenxu pointed the finger at him and Xiao Chengyi with every word, and insisted on forcing His Majesty to search his mansion.
