Painting Doctor Jinhua
Chapter 49: Testifying
"Shut up!" Princess Yunyin's eyes were almost red with anger, and she stood up suddenly!
Lu Sheng and Kong Wulang looked at Xiao Jinyu with shock and awe in their eyes: it turned out that they were asked to write their names just to leave evidence! They didn't expect that when Xiao Yun set up this trap to lure her in, they actually fell into the trap of this young lady.
From a fisherman to a fisherman, I never thought that this seemingly charming and attractive young lady could be so scheming!
"What a great trick! The young lady is so smart, I, Li Mi, admire her deeply!"
Li Mi said, and cast his eyes to the scroll spread on the ground. Previously, he was attracted by the boundless spring scenery in the painting and did not notice the words on the scroll. Now, he looked carefully and actually saw the name "Lu Sheng" in the stamen of an apricot flower. He pointed at the words curiously and looked at Lu Sheng who was already lost in thought and said, "There seems to be two words Lu Sheng there. Mr. Lu, is this the name you wrote?"
"Oh, yes! And here, this is Zhu Qian!"
"This is Kongque!"
"..."
"So the gentlemen really did write their names on this scroll! It seems that what this young lady said must be true!"
Princess Yunyin had been enduring to the extreme at this time, and suddenly shouted: "Come here, drive out all these outsiders except this bitch!"
The soldiers in the hall were about to take action when Li Mi stopped them and shouted:
"Your Highness, this is not right. You didn't let us out just now, and now you want to kick us out again. Are you afraid that the truth will be spread out?"
"I have nothing to fear, but this lowly slave used such a vicious scheme to harm my son. I will make her bear the consequences! Besides, is what she said just now necessarily true? Does she want to throw all the dirty water on my son just based on a painting? Is this painting definitely drawn by her? Can't she just find a painting to give false evidence? And..."
Princess Yunyin's gaze was like a knife cutting towards Xiao Jinyu, and she added word by word, "Who can testify for you?"
She was actually betting that no one could testify for her. That was right. At that time, Xiao Yun had booked the entire Ascott, and except for her, all the other people in the Ascott were servants and maids he brought with him, except for the young men from the noble families he invited.
These people naturally won't testify for her!
At this time, the people watching couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It seems that Princess Yunyin is determined to confuse right and wrong and put all the faults and blame on this young lady!
Sometimes in the face of supreme power, the truth really doesn’t seem that important!
If Princess Yunyin had the intention to kill this young lady, I'm afraid...
Just as everyone was looking at Xiao Jinyu with sympathy and emotion, a young man suddenly shouted, "I, I can testify for her!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy dressed as a guard running out of the crowd. He walked to Xiao Jinyu with a grin, then looked at Princess Yunyin and said, "I have all the fish. I pay my respects to Your Highness. Everyone, my master and I have been following this matter the whole time, so I can testify that when this young lady and the young man beside her were still riding horses on the training ground, my master and I heard the conspiracy of Mr. Xiao Ba and these young men!"
"conspiracy?"
"Yes, yes, you can also call it an open conspiracy! Anyway, Mr. Xiao Ba's intention is to take... take this young lady's body, and then destroy her reputation in front of everyone!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Princess Yunyin couldn't help but interrupt sharply.
The young guard was so scared that he immediately jumped back and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, I'm not talking nonsense. Then we followed her to the Estée Lauder. We hid on the roof of the attic and watched. We saw this young lady accepting a letter from Mr. Xiao Ba and coming to the Estée Lauder. Afterwards, the gentlemen asked the young lady to drink and write poems. The young lady said that she was not good at drinking or writing poems, so she drew a picture for you gentlemen..."
At this point, the young guard had an intoxicated look on his face, "Everyone has not seen this young lady's painting dance, it is truly unique in heaven, on earth, and on earth. I have never seen anyone who can paint so beautifully in my life!"
Then he glared at Lu Sheng and Kong Ke, "You are so lucky to see this Hua Wu, but you are still not satisfied. You even want to be like that Xiao Balangjun, who is so heartless and wants to take possession of the young lady's body. You are so shameless!"
"you--"
Kong Ke was so angry that he was speechless, Lu Sheng was so ashamed that he didn't say a word, and the other men simply lowered their heads to avoid his sight.
"I've strayed off topic. Anyway, after the painting was finished, the young lady seemed to have some Chinese medicine, and was taken to Youmeng Pavilion by Mr. Xiao Balang. Oh, my master also followed her and saw everything. Mr. Xiao Balang wanted to flirt with the young lady, but she stabbed him with a needle and he fainted.
After that, all the gentlemen also rushed into Youmeng Pavilion with great interest, and finally..."
This is what you see now!
But before he could finish his last sentence, Princess Yunyin shouted, "Who are you? You are lying here. Drag you out and chop you off!"
The two soldiers responded by picking up their swords. Unexpectedly, they took a step forward when a short sword fell from the sky and stabbed right in front of their feet. At the same time, a voice came from above their heads: "Who dares to kill my guards!"
A black shadow descended from the sky and stood in front of everyone.
This person looked just like Xiao Jinyu, both wearing a black robe with tight sleeves and a veiled hat covering their faces, so their appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you? I want to kill a troublemaker. What does it have to do with you?"
"I don't interfere in the affairs of the Southland, but you want to kill my guards, how can it have nothing to do with me?"
Princess Yunyin's face changed drastically. At this moment, a burst of hurried and powerful footsteps came from outside Ascott again. It sounded as if another group of armored soldiers had surrounded the place.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in official uniform walked in, and with him came Cui Heng.
"So it's Princess Yunyin who is here. I wonder what happened here that made Her Royal Highness the Princess come here with her private soldiers?" The middle-aged man bowed and saluted.
Princess Yunyin looked at him.
"You are Zhang Mao, the prefect of Jiankang. Humph, today's matter is originally a private matter of my Xiao family, but since Lord Zhang is here, let's make the decision together!"
Princess Yunyin had said this, and then she ordered Aunt Jiang to bring Zhang Mao into Youmeng Pavilion. At this time, a doctor came and was about to examine Xiao Yun. However, when the doctor saw the injury on Xiao Yun's lower body, he was so scared that he sat down on the ground, begging for mercy, "I'm afraid I can't cure this injury. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
Zhang Mao was also somewhat horrified and sad when he saw this, and asked, "How could this be?"
"Sir, all this is thanks to this lowly maid Xiao Jinyu. If anything happens to Mr. Eight, I will never be able to leave this Ascott alive. This is what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants. Sir Zhang, do you understand?"
Zhang Mao knew that this arrogant and domineering princess was going to take advantage of her power to bully others. Was this a reminder to him of how he should solve a case?
After a moment of silence, Zhang Mao walked out of Youmeng Pavilion and asked, "Who is Xiao Jinyu?"
"I'm here!" Xiao Jinyu replied.
"Do you admit that you were the one who caused the injuries on Mr. Xiao Balang?" Zhang Mao asked straight to the point.
"It was me!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyu answered so confidently and readily. Zhang Mao was unable to react for a moment, and the other onlookers were even more surprised and shocked.
Even the man in black with a veiled hat looked at her in confusion.
"It's obviously not you, why do you admit it?" Cui Heng said in surprise. He asked someone to help her, not to harm her.
Xiao Jinyu glanced at Cui Heng, then turned to Zhang Mao and said with a smile, "Master Zhang Ming, I know you won't believe anything I say now. I originally had this painting as evidence and this young man as a witness, but Her Royal Highness the Princess insisted that everything I said was false evidence. There is no point in saying more. Justice is in the hearts of the people.
So I admit that I harmed him!"
"Then you'll pay with your life!"
Princess Yunyin yelled angrily and was about to call for someone to arrest her, but Zhang Mao said, "Wait, let her finish what she is saying!"
Xiao Jinyu continued, "But why should I harm him? Xiao Yunlang set up this Hongmen Banquet, hoping to kill me with slander and put me in an irreparable death. Why can't I return the favor in order to protect myself?"
"How did he slander and kill you?" Zhang Mao asked.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "Master Zhang Ming, do you really have to explain it so clearly? He found all these gentlemen in this Ascott and used Wei Danmo and Galan Chenxiang to make aphrodisiacs. Isn't it just to let them rape me one by one?"
Having said this, the hall fell silent again, and Zhang Mao's expression turned extremely ugly.
"But even so, I still gave him a chance. When I called him Uncle Yun, when I called him Xiao Lang, and even when I asked him if he would have any regrets if I died, I hoped to awaken a little bit of his conscience, but..." She changed the subject and seemed to ask the people in Youmeng Pavilion, "Xiao Yunlang, have you ever had the slightest bit of sympathy for me? Or is my life not worth mentioning in your eyes?"
Xiao Yun in Youmeng Pavilion was still sobbing in pain, but everyone in the Ascott Pavilion had fallen silent, and many of them actually felt the same sorrow.
Today, the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties still exists, and the scholars admire the mysterious mind, insight, wonderful appreciation, and deep affection. Among these, the two deep affections are the most touching and moving.
Even Li Mi, who always smiled awkwardly, couldn't help but stop smiling, and a bit of pity and sadness appeared in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhang Mingfu, do you still want to question me about my crime now?" Amid the sad sighs of the crowd, Xiao Jinyu asked again in a serious tone.
