Chapter 244: Evidence of Fan Jing's Guilt Has Been Uncovered

To be honest, Zhang Jingwan was indeed quite pretty, and Zheng Qian soon let the cat out of the bag.

On the night of their wedding, Zheng Qian was drugged, which led to the rumor that Zheng Qian had a stroke on their wedding night.

Later, after days of severe torture, Zheng Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore and was killed after he found the place where the stolen goods were hidden.

His entire family also died with him.

The murderer was indeed the so-called younger brother Zhang Jingwan mentioned, Zhang Zhan.

It’s just that Zhang Zhan was originally a foolish man.

After the ghost fire case happened, he actually believed Zhang Jingwan's lies and only let him go to jail for a few days. Once this matter was over, he would be released.

He never imagined that they would kill to silence the witnesses.

Zhang Zhan did not hang himself in prison, but was strangled to death.

Everything was clear at this point in the case. When they went to arrest the "dead person" Zhang Jingwan, they also found a hidden weapon with exquisite workmanship in her room.

That hidden weapon was the one that killed 18 people in the Zheng family.

Diwu Xun had seen it when he was searching the room that day, but when he heard someone approaching the room, he didn't have time to pick it up and take a closer look.

Later, he hid in the closet. After summoning Shen Qingqian, he was obsessed with certain things and forgot about this thing.

It was not until the next day when I walked onto the street and saw the bracelets being sold that I remembered my quick glance yesterday.

Only then did I realize that the thing might be the murder weapon.

When Zhang Zhan surrendered himself, he said that he was killed with a hidden weapon and that the weapon had been destroyed by him.

Now it seems that is not the case.

This thing is in Zhang Jingwan's hand.

The case was settled, and after handing it over to Min Yanzheng, he returned to the capital.

But just now on the case file, he saw that the conclusion of the case was still that Zhang Zhan was guilty of murder.

All cases sent to the Dali Temple for review must be reviewed one by one by the Dali Temple Chief Justice before being put into storage. The seal stamped there now is the official seal of the Dali Temple Chief Justice.

When Shen Qingqian heard this, her breathing quickened.

Could it be that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple is also a member of the Fan family?

But she quickly denied this speculation.

Speaking of the Dali Temple Minister, he should be a disciple of Prime Minister Min, just like Yang Fuyin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

No one would dare to tamper with the case and risk being beheaded. After all, the case involved a corrupt and bribe-taking prefect of the fourth rank.

So, what is the truth?

Shen Qingqian looked at Diwu Xun, whose eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "If my guess is correct, it must be the Emperor who set up this trap."

"What did you think of?"

Diwu Xun nodded, "If the Dali Temple Minister really did this, I wouldn't be able to find the case file so easily, unless he did it on purpose."

After a pause, he continued, "So I guess the emperor deliberately let me see it."

Shen Qingqian nodded. In fact, she also had a lot of doubts in her heart. Considering that he came to the hall today and told them not to interfere in this matter, she thought that the plan must have been set up.

This time, he just wanted them to watch, there must be a reason for that.

Diwu Xun narrowed his eyes, sat on the couch, pulled Shen Qingqian to sit on his lap, and asked her, "Do you still remember what the emperor said before he left?"

Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows, "Let me recognize my ancestors and return to my roots?"

"That's right." Diwu Xun said, "I'm afraid the emperor's plan will be revealed on this day."

After saying this, he picked up Shen Qingqian, placed her on the couch, and said, "Looks like I have to go to the palace."

"Okay. I'll wait for your return."

Diwuxun already understood Xiaosuo's feelings.

Shen Qingqian watched him leave, and her heart finally settled down.

Nothing can bring peace of mind more than defusing the time bomb in their hearts.

Today, Xiao Suozhong refused Diwuxun to investigate his father's case again because he had already made arrangements.

After entering the palace, Diwu Xun went straight to the emperor's study to ask for an audience.

Eunuch Yu Zi had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Diwu Xun coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Diwu, the emperor has been waiting for a long time."

Diwu Xun bowed and strode into the imperial study.

Xiao Suozhong was reviewing memorials. He saw him come in and nodded.

Diwu Xun bowed and knelt, "Your Highness."

"Get up." Then he whispered, "Rongqi, come out."

Behind the desk, the commander of the imperial guards, Rong Qi, stepped forward.

Xiao Suozhong said, "Tell him everything you have investigated over the years."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Rong Qi bowed to Diwu Xun and said, "Sir Shaoqing, you really misunderstood the emperor..."

After Marquis Changning was killed, Xiao Suozhong guessed that there must be a traitor in Marquis Changning's mansion.

He immediately sent Rong Qi, who was the leader of the Shadow Guard at that time, to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But at that time, the entire Changning Marquis's mansion was massacred, and the only survivor was Diwu Xun, who spent his days drinking and had no idea what had happened in the mansion before the murder.

Therefore, he did not find out who the traitor was in Changning Marquis' Mansion.

But they found out that someone in the Shadow Guard was having an affair with Fan Jing.

This person took leave on the day of the murder at Changning Marquis' Mansion, but was found by another colleague near the mansion.

Moreover, he had a lot of gambling debts, which he suddenly paid off overnight.

This person is none other than Zhao Jian, the current deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

"It is wiser to keep the enemy's open chess piece by your side and entrust him with important tasks rather than killing him and letting them develop a new hidden chess piece, right? This is what the emperor thinks." Rong Qi said.

The emperor soon promoted him to deputy commander of the imperial guards, but fearing that he would be too arrogant, he transferred Rong Qi out as well to continue to be his superior.

Zhao Jian knew that Rong Qi was the emperor's man, so he would be cautious when doing things.

Over the years, I have committed some minor evils, but I have never had the opportunity to commit any major evils.

Two years ago, continuous rains in the border town destroyed a Bodhisattva temple.

The body of the Bodhisattva was cracked and a body was hidden inside. Upon inspection, it was found to be the missing grain and fodder supervisor Ding Zhuo.

When Ding Zhuo was young, he fell off a cliff and broke his second and third ribs. The bones of his body were indeed like this.

However, even so, no direct evidence has been found to prove that Ding Zhuo was killed by the then deputy general Liu Quan.

What’s more, Liu Quan’s whereabouts are still unknown.

It was not until a few months ago that the flaw in Dong Ji, whom Changning Hou had mentioned, finally appeared.

"But what about the case of lost property?" Fifth asked.

Rong Qi nodded, "Dong Ji ordered his butler Zheng to bring a cart of valuables to Qingzhou, but they were robbed by robbers on the way. Do you know who the robbers are?"

Diwu Xun frowned, "Could it be that someone really robbed someone in this case, and it wasn't Zheng Qian who did it?"

Rong Qi nodded after a long while, "Zheng Qian is the steward of the Dong family. How could such a small amount of money be worthy of his attention?" After a pause, Rong Qi said, "He wanted much more than this, so he was silenced by Dong Ji."
