The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Knowing that the Shangshu Mansion was surrounded, it was natural that it was not only the Kangwang Mansion that was arrested, including the Shangshu and his daughter.

When being an official in the capital, the most important thing is to keep an eye on all directions and listen carefully. News is the most important.

Before the morning court session the next day, everyone who needed to know about the news concerning the Ministry of Revenue had already heard.

On the way to court, the friendly officials whispered about Liu Yuanfeng and his daughter.

"I didn't expect that he would be the one who killed Princess Leyang."

"Yes, how dare he do that? Isn't he afraid of retaliation from Prince Kang's Mansion?"

When the people from Jingzhao Prefecture went to arrest Jiang Jingshi, they did not make much noise. In addition, the subsequent arrest of Liu Yuanfeng and his daughter made too much noise, so everyone subconsciously ignored the fact that before Liu Yuanfeng and his daughter, there was another person who was arrested and imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Although the people detained were Liu Yuanfeng and his daughter, most of the people's attention was still focused on Liu Yuanfeng. They thought that Liu Yanran was just a powerless woman and were very surprised why she was arrested.

After all, the other people in the Shangshu Mansion are still besieged at home, and logically she should be among them. Many people feel sorry for her that the capital's most talented girl has been delayed by her father who has committed a crime.

I heard that many wealthy and noble families wanted to come and ask for the throne, and even the palace had this idea.

Obviously, the false image that Liu Yanran had created over the years was deeply rooted in people's minds. No one believed that such a gentle, generous and bright girl like her could do something like murder.

The distance from the palace to the court hall was not short, but not too long either. As they were talking, the hall appeared before them.

Gu Jingzhi didn't care about the looks from the people around him and walked in. Jingzhao Yin followed closely with a relaxed look on his face.

When the others saw the two of them enter the hall, they hurriedly quickened their pace to catch up, as they were going to have a good show to watch today.

In the past, during court meetings, the conservatives and the reformists quarreled, while the neutrals watched and tried to smooth things over. But today, the three parties reached a consensus and all watched the fun.

When the news of Princess Leyang's murder came, they were all quite confused. Living in the capital was not easy. Many people died in the capital, including beggars, wealthy businessmen, and officials.

But the murder of Princess Leyang really makes people feel strange. After all, she lived in the palace and was protected by guards when she went in and out. Although she was favored, she was just a woman. At most, she had some friction with the little girl. Who would have thought that she would be killed, and in that way.

Now that the case has been solved, they are naturally curious.

Civil and military officials stood still, waiting for Emperor Jian'an to come to court.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

Civil and military officials saluted.

"Welcome, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"Be flat."

Emperor Jian'an sat on the dragon throne.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The officials stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Jingzhao Yin stood out from the team.

The others looked at him inconspicuously. Everyone knew what he was going to say and had been waiting for it.

Princess Leyang was just a favored princess, and she had no connection with Liu Yuanfeng. Why did he kill her? How did he kill her so quietly?

Everyone waited for his report curiously.

"explain."

Emperor Jian'an was also very curious about the content of his report. Yesterday's memorial mentioned the murderer, the murder process, and the motive for the murder, but he always felt that something was not explained clearly.

Liu Yanran is just a woman, so even if Le Yang has something on her, his methods are too cruel.

Emperor Jian'an narrowed his eyes. It was said that she was the most talented woman in the capital. He remembered that the imperial concubine had thought of making her her daughter-in-law before. He himself had considered it, but because he was concerned that her father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he did not agree at that time. Now thinking about it, it was fortunate that it did not work out.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, five days ago, General Gu issued a military order to investigate the murder of Princess Leyang together with Jingzhao Prefecture.

Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and have now arrested the criminal."

"Oh?"

Jingzhao Yin glanced at Gu Jingzhi. Before he came, General Gu told him that he would be fully responsible for reporting the case, but when he thought about the truth of the case he had learned during the interrogation yesterday, he still felt a little uneasy.

The truth behind many things is too dark and not suitable to be made known to the public.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Princess Leyang disappeared for no apparent reason in Prince Kang's mansion late at night six days ago. Her body was found dumped in the river the next day. After examination by the coroner, it was found that the princess died of strangulation and her body was dumped after death.

Through the investigation and visits over the past five days, we have finally identified the culprit. The main culprit in this case is the Minister of Revenue..."

When the other officials heard him say this, they couldn't help but nod in their hearts. It was indeed him, but they didn't know why he did this.

"...daughter Liu Yanran."

what!

Except for Emperor Jian'an and Gu Jingzhi who knew the inside story, everyone else widened their eyes. How could it be her!

Emperor Jian'an sat high on the dragon throne and could naturally see their expressions clearly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, this answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"How could it be her?"

"Did I say that wrong? Or did I hear it wrong?"

"Not the Minister of Revenue, but the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?"

The criminal mentioned by Jingzhao Yin obviously shocked everyone. Although people were not allowed to make noise in the court, they were allowed to discuss in a low voice. Of course, this was an unwritten rule.

"Quiet, continue." Emperor Jian'an interrupted their discussion.

Jingzhao Yin continued, "The accomplice is my cousin Jiang Jingshi, who is staying at the residence of the Minister of Revenue."

At this point, he paused, "Jiang Jingshi and Liu Yanran had a secret affair, and by chance, their affair was discovered by Princess Leyang.

Princess Leyang had previously had a bad relationship with Liu Yanran, and after catching her weakness, she kept mocking and threatening her.

As time went by, Liu Yanran became dissatisfied with his relentless pressure and decided to go all out. She teamed up with Jiang Jingshi to murder Princess Leyang.

This is the whole story of the case.”

As soon as Jingzhao Yin finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent.

How to say it, it’s both reasonable and unexpected.

Most people in the court knew Princess Leyang's temperament. She was willful and unreasonable. It seemed that Princess Leyang must have pressed Liu Yanran hard after finding something on her. Liu Yanran was so desperate that she decided to make a desperate bet.

Many people thought that Liu Yanran was a cruel person, otherwise she would not dare to kill anyone.

Isn't it said that this most talented lady in the capital is dignified, gentle and charming? This is not only different from the rumors, but completely different. After all, how could such a gentle and charming person dare to kill someone?

Jingzhao Yin was vague about the course of the case, and everyone knew that he must have had his reasons for doing so, so naturally no one questioned him further.

King Kang standing aside had red eyes at the moment, his tall figure was slightly hunched, there was more silver hair on his forehead, and he looked shaky.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Jian'an hurriedly allowed him to sit down and sent someone to call for the imperial physician.

"Uncle Wang, rest assured. I will give Le Yang an explanation!"

King Kang's eyes were red and tearful, and he spoke tremblingly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
