After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

However, the next moment, a 'bang' sound was heard.

Fang Xiu resolutely hit his head against the pillar and died, and his body slowly slid to the ground.

The speed of the suicide attempt was so fast that no one could react in time.

Murong Gu stood up with a stiff face in disbelief, "Crazy, crazy..."

If word of this gets out, people outside will definitely say that he forced the people to death in order to curry favor with the princess!

He is about to lose his official hat!

Wei Tingfeng walked forward calmly and sniffed Fang Xiu's breath.

Fang Xiu died quickly, with his eyes wide open, and there was no possibility of saving him.

"Lord Murong." Wei Tingfeng could only remind his superior, saying, "The witness is dead, so we can only imprison the princess first."

However, there is actually no evidence to prove that Meng Zhaoge committed murder.

But Fang Xiu had already committed suicide to make his will known. If they let Meng Zhaoge go, the Dali Temple would be cursed to death by the people.

Murong Guyi quickly realized this and looked at Meng Zhaoge in embarrassment: "My Lady..."

"I understand." Meng Zhaoge said, "I won't embarrass you, sir. I also believe that the Dali Temple will clear my name."

Murong Gu suddenly came back to life and said hurriedly, "Thank you, my lady!"

Immediately, he ordered people to temporarily detain Meng Zhaoge in the Dali Temple prison.

Although he was imprisoned, he did not dare to neglect him and specially delivered delicious dishes for dinner.

Meng Zhaoge sat in prison, but he was in no mood to eat the delicious food they sent him. He just thought about things quietly.

While she was deep in thought, footsteps were heard outside.

She looked up without any surprise and saw the man with his face covered: "Master Wei, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Wei Tingfeng paused, pulled down his mask, and raised his eyebrows: "How did the queen know it was me?"

"It's just a blind guess. If it's not, I'll guess Murong Gu."

"..."

Wei Tingfeng laughed: "I came here to ask the queen something."

Meng Zhaoge: "Don't ask yet, I have something to ask you."

"Oh?" Wei Tingfeng smiled meaningfully: "What does your Majesty want to ask me?"

"Do you believe that I was the one who killed the ram leaf?"

"Do not believe."

"Can you help me with something?"

"...What?" Wei Tingfeng asked tentatively: "If it's too difficult, I—"

"It's not difficult."

Meng Zhaoge interrupted him: "I just want you to go to the morgue of your Dali Temple."

Wei Tingfeng's eyelids twitched.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, someone in the Dali Temple beat drums to appeal for justice.

The noise was so loud that it attracted a lot of people to watch.

It would be more accurate to say that the young man was pounding the drum with all his might rather than hitting it.

The young girl rushed to the front of the crowd and cried, "My queen was framed as a murderer. There is no evidence at all, but the Dali Temple has been interrogating her for a whole day and has not released her."

The onlookers reacted: "Are you the maid of Princess Jing?"

"Yes."

"But didn't they say yesterday that someone had committed suicide in court to prove his loyalty and identify the princess?"

"He hanged himself because he was guilty!" Mo Huan cried even harder when she got to this point, "Everyone, please judge for yourself. In the court yesterday, the book boy had no evidence at all, but he insisted that our queen killed his master.

"My queen thought that the Dali Temple would be fair, so she cooperated. But as soon as she pointed out the loophole in the fairy tale, the book boy hit his head and died!"

"I'm asking, who can my queen go to for justice? Our queen didn't want him to die!"

"Ah? So that's how it is." Everyone suddenly realized.

When they heard that the book boy had died in court yesterday, they thought that the Dali Temple had forced the book boy to death in order to protect the princess.

After hearing what the maid said, most people reacted and thought: That's right, even if the Dali Temple wanted to protect the princess, they would only poison the servant in private to minimize the matter.

Forcing someone to death in court is like roasting the princess on the fire, right?

But some people did not believe it and believed that the book boy was forced to death.

In short, people are now skeptical.

On the other side, the Dali Temple finally opened its doors, and the two men immediately stepped forward to file a complaint.

Mo Huan said: "We are here to appeal for justice for the queen. We have evidence to prove that the murderer is someone else."

When the clerk saw that it was someone from Prince Jing's palace, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly brought the person in.

After a while, Murong Gu arrived late.

"Are you from the Jing Palace? You said the murderer is someone else? Do you have any evidence?"

Mo Huan replied: "Of course there is."

Yuan Jinglie dragged the timid servant forward and pulled him in front of Murong Gu.

"Don't hide." The young man whispered, "If you don't tell the truth in front of Lord Murong, you will be beaten to death."

Murong Gu panicked and thought how could this intimidate the people? He was not the kind of bad man who would force a confession.

But the boy was really frightened and knelt down in front of him, trembling.

"Sir, spare my life."

"I...I just saw a girl bringing Mr. Gong Yang to our restaurant the evening before yesterday. I don't know anything else!"

Murong Gu didn't care about the threats anymore, he was shocked and asked, "What does that girl look like?"

The servant said, "Very pretty."

Murong Gu thought: It seems that she is not the Princess of Jing.

"Go on, tell me who else went to the second floor of the restaurant that evening." Yuan Jinglie seemed to be reminding the servant.

The servant recalled: "There was a very beautiful girl, dressed elegantly, with dimples on her face when she smiled."

"No one else?"

"No, there were few customers that day, so there were many empty seats on the first floor. Customers generally don't choose to go upstairs."

Yuan Jinglie immediately bowed to Murong Gu and said, "Master Murong, please send the eldest daughter of General Mingxi's mansion here immediately."

"what?"

Murong Gu was a little confused. He was stunned for a long time: "You mean, he is talking about Miss Meng?"

"Whether it is or not, we will know once the adults come and ask."

"But..." Murong hesitated. The servant didn't say it must be the eldest lady. How could he catch her?

It can be seen that Yuan Jinglie was so sure that he couldn't help but feel shaken.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, the next moment, Wei Tingfeng's voice came from outside: "Sir, Miss Meng has been brought here."

Murong Gu: "..."

He was going crazy. It turned out that this Wei guy had secretly arrested someone again without telling him!

However, Wei Tingfeng had no idea that Murong Gu was cursing him in his heart, and he brought Meng Changning in anyway.

The woman was dressed in goose yellow clothes, had fair skin and a graceful figure. She was as beautiful as a blooming winter jasmine.

Murong Gu looked at her a few more times, cleared his throat, and called to the boy: "Do you know this girl?"

The servant kneeling on the ground turned his head and saw Meng Changning, and immediately pointed out: "She was on the second floor of our restaurant the day before yesterday."

Meng Changning also recognized the boy; he was the waiter at Tongfu Restaurant.

Her eyelids twitched involuntarily and she pursed her lips nervously.

No wonder Wei Tingfeng found her, but how did he know she went to the restaurant that day? She was wearing a veil.

On the other side, Murong Gu asked, "Miss Meng, do you recognize me?"

Meng Changning suppressed his uneasiness and smiled slightly: "Sir, I'm just going to have a meal. What's the point of saying I recognize you or not? Doesn't the Dali Temple invite people to eat out anymore?"

"This..." Murong Gu looked embarrassed and touched his nose.

Wei Tingfeng said again: "Gong Yangye, who died yesterday, was taken to the second floor by a girl the evening before yesterday. According to the young man's identification, Miss Meng was also on the second floor that day."

"Oh?" Meng Changning seemed a little surprised: "But I just went to eat that day. It would be too hasty for you two adults to suspect me of murder because of this."

"Or--"

"Who do the adults want to exonerate? That's why they find me to be the scapegoat?" She curled her lips sarcastically.

Murong Gu smiled awkwardly: "Of course not, the Dali Temple will never protect anyone."

After saying that, he blamed Wei Tingfeng with his eyes, blaming him for being too impulsive.

No one has identified Meng Changning. If they were all on the same floor, it would be too easy to arrest him as evidence!

But Wei Tingfeng seemed not to understand his look and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Ms. Meng said she was just going to have dinner, but as far as I know, she ordered a pot of tea in the wing room that day."

Meng Changning's expression froze and he pinched his palm hard with his nails.
