"You swear on Yuan Qingling's life!" Chu Mingcui didn't believe it.
Yu Wenhao had an indifferent expression on his face, "I swear on the life of Princess Chu that I will be by your side when you die."
Chu Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe you this last time."
She put her hands on the ground and worked hard to move forward. The scarlet bloodstains were like mottled cracks in the city wall, winding irregularly and looking particularly terrifying under the dim light.
"It's my grandfather!" She said four words in his ear with force.
After saying that, she sighed deeply and looked at him sadly.
Yu Wenhao curled his lips and smiled sternly, "I also thought it was him. Who else could have such a thorough plan?"
"Yes, except him, who can control everything?" Chu Mingcui's eyes were blank, "Actually, he wanted to kill me too, right? He had promised me at the beginning that he would spare my life, as long as Yuan
If Qing Ling dies, he will help me get rid of everything. I am still the eldest lady of the First Assistant Mansion, but in fact, those people will definitely kill me in the end. If you don't come, I will die on the ship.
"
"The first assistant is so cruel." Yu Wenhao said.
Chu Mingcui's eyes were full of grief and anger, "Yes, he is so cruel. He killed my mother like this. I hate him to the core, but there is nothing I can do about it."
Yu Wenhao asked: "Did he also find those bandits?"
"Yes." Chu Mingcui said.
"How does he know those bandits?"
Chu Mingcui was stunned, and then subconsciously said: "Of course, he has led troops to suppress bandits, and he knows where the bandits are fleeing."
Yu Wenhao looked at her, "He
Have you ever led troops to suppress bandits?"
Chu Mingcui raised her head and looked at him, "That's what he said. Of course he didn't lead the troops himself, it was just his order."
Yu Wenhao said: "Suppressing bandits? Are you talking about King Ji?"
She looked at him and laughed, "You doubt King Ji? Not King Ji."
"It's not the boss!" Yu Wenhao's eyes were as dark as the sky, "His big day is coming, so of course it's not him."
Chu Mingcui said quietly: "I know you must also hate my grandfather very much. Just don't worry, we will interrogate him in front of the hall. I will recruit him truthfully and ask you to avenge that woman."
Yu Wenhao said: "Who told you that there will be a trial in front of the court?"
Less than an hour after her father's decree arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, she knew about it.
"No?" Chu Mingcui was startled, "I thought such a big case could not be tried by the Jingzhao Mansion."
Yu Wenhao said: "Yes, it is true that the imperial decree came down and asked the Ministry of Punishment to coordinate with the Jingzhao Mansion for a joint trial. However, since you have confessed, there is no need to go to court again."
Chu Mingcui looked at him and said quietly: "That's fine."
Yu Wenhao slowly stretched out his hand and held her wrist.
Her eyes lit up with joy and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Hao."
Yu Wenhao lowered his eyes, suppressed the killing intent in his eyes, and said softly: "Close your eyes."
"Brother Hao, you still can't forget me..." Her last voice was suddenly full of shock, "You..."
The internal energy slowly passed through, and the wound on her wrist opened and blood spattered out.
He stood up, took a step back, and looked at her frightened and confused face. She covered her wrist with her hands, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was in vain.
The light was blocked by Yu Wenhao's figure
, his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and his voice was cold, "You can die with peace of mind. I said that when you die, I will be here to accompany you. I will never break my promise, and thank you for your cooperation."
The man behind the scenes has emerged."
Chu Mingcui's whole body was trembling. The rapid blood loss made her whole body cold. Fear was like millions of insects gnawing at her heart. Her limbs and bones were trembling because of this. "Brother Hao, save me..."
She stretched out her blood-covered hand and slowly lowered it. She opened her eyes wide, her pupils slowly dilating, filled with fear and despair.
Yu Wenhao just watched quietly, his expression unmoving.
He then said softly: "You used your grandfather to confuse your vision, but I have seen through it. I am already on guard against him. You can't even think that he can kill Yuan Qingling for you."
Before she died, Yu Wenhao suddenly leaned over and whispered a name in her ear.
Chu Mingcui's eyes widened, and he twitched vigorously. He let out a low roar in his throat, his whole body tensed, and his eyes were filled with rage and grief.
Chu Mingcui died with his eyes closed.
The dark red brocade robe swept across the iron pillars of the prison, and Yu Wenhao's face showed an indifferent and cold expression before disappearing.
The afternoon criminal trial was canceled because the chief jailer came to report that Chu Mingcui had committed suicide and was dead.
The key figures are all dead, and the confessions of the two bandits have no special direction. Therefore, there is no need for a joint trial, and all charges will be borne by Chu Mingcui.
Two coolies were sentenced to be beheaded for colluding in the murder and kidnapping the Princess of Chu.
Yuwen Hao ordered Fu Cheng to secretly investigate who had been to the prison today and had seen Chu Mingcui.
After the Fu Cheng investigated, he reported back: "It's Mr. Sun who arrested the man."
Yu Wenhao's expression was indifferent, "There is no need to make any announcement about this matter, just pretend it's nothing."
Fu Cheng asked: "Sir, what about Chu Mingcui's confession..."
"Tear it up." During today's questioning, Fu Cheng was recording in the cell next door.
"But, she recruited Chu Shoufu..." Fu Cheng hesitated.
"It's not Chu Shoufu."
Fu Cheng was startled, "Does the prince know what he knows?"
"It's King Ji!" Yu Wenhao looked at him, "That Sun Captou was favored by King Ji in the past."
Fu Cheng was shocked, "It's actually His Highness Prince Ji?"
Yu Wenhao was angry, "Unfortunately, I have no evidence, so I can only spare him this time."
Fu Cheng looked at him, "But the prince is in prison today and seems to have told Chu Mingcui that he is not Prince Ji."
"Those are just words of temptation." Yu Wenhao said.
Fu Cheng nodded, "That's it."
"You go down, this case is over, no mention of it again." Yu Wenhao said.
Fu Cheng handed over his hand.
Yu Wenhao stared at his back with cold eyes.
He withdrew his eyes and said to Tang Yang: "Send someone to keep an eye on Fu Cheng."
Tang Yang did not follow him to the prison, so he did not know the exact process of the questioning. Just now, the prince said it was Prince Ji, which surprised him.
"It's not King Ji, is it?" Tang Yang asked.
"No!" Yu Wenhao held an inkstone with his fingers, his fingertips turned white, and his ink pupils exuded bursts of cold air. "At first, I thought he was the boss."
Tang Yang said: "If King Ji wants to harm the princess, he doesn't need to do this, and he has good things coming soon, so there is no need to bring down his own life like this. Even if he wants the princess to die, he will always have other ways. There is no need to make such a big fuss, it will not be good for him.
."
"He can't guess the emperor's grandfather's heart
Thinking about it, he doesn’t understand the Ghost Shadow Guard either. He can’t set up this game. Moreover, this person came to Chu Mingcui temporarily. Chu Mingcui didn’t originally intend this. She originally just wanted to alienate the brotherhood between me and Lao Qi first.
You will know if you think about it carefully." Yu Wenhao said.
Tang Yang nodded, "Indeed, Chu Mingcui originally wanted to use the incident at the Yuade Tavern to drive a wedge between the prince and the prince of Qi. It can be seen that the plan was changed temporarily."
Yu Wenhao's eyes were narrowed, and the light was cold, "To be able to make such careful arrangements in such a hasty time, and to plan against the Ghost Guards, the emperor's grandfather, then this person must be familiar with the Ghost Guards and know how to let people know.
