Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne
Chapter 739 The Queen Arrives
Xie Qi looked at Jiang Jinyan calmly. Didn’t the Queen say that this thing should not be taken out for the time being?
Xie Qi also followed orders. He took out a piece of physical evidence and said, "Your Majesty, the coroner found a suspicious object during the autopsy. This object was found in Shu Xue's stomach. She died of suffocation. The ruby bead in her stomach might have been left by the murderer."
Now the King of Qi has produced another piece of evidence, and everyone is getting nervous.
Minister Tang stared at what the prince was holding: "What evidence is that, Your Majesty? How come I don't know it?"
Xie Qi said, "Of course it was the evidence found on the body of the deceased. It was too late last night and Minister Tang fell asleep, so we don't know. However, Lord Zhang, the king, and Lu Tingwei saw with their own eyes what the coroner took out from the dead man's stomach. It looked like a woman's ornament."
Minister Tang was not sure whether this thing belonged to Shu Xue. He said, "The deceased was also a woman. Maybe it was hers. It doesn't look strange. Mr. Li, come and check if it belongs to Madam Li."
How would Li Cheng know what jewelry Shu Xue had? He and Shu Xue had a bad relationship. They were forced to get married. He looked down on women like Shu Xue. His reputation was ruined and no one was willing to marry him. Shu Xue married into his family for the status of Minister Li's daughter-in-law, but she died after just a few months.
Mrs. Li saw something that could prove that the murderer was not her son, so she quickly said, "Such a precious ruby bead is not Shu Xue's. Since Shu Xue married into the Li family, she has not had any jewelry. Such a conspicuous thing is not hers. It must have been left by the murderer."
For her son's innocence, Mrs. Li instantly became an expert in solving cases. "Shu Xue must have wrestled with the murderer before she died. She knew she was going to die, so she grabbed the murderer's belongings and put them in her mouth. Yes, that must be the case. The murderer would definitely see it if she put it on her body, and it would be safest to put it in her stomach. I didn't expect that Shu Xue, such a noisy and stupid person, would be so smart before she died and even knew to leave the murderer's belongings. The government catching the murderer is revenge for her, and she can rest in peace now."
After listening to Mrs. Li's words, everyone felt that her analysis was reasonable, yet somewhat unreasonable.
An official said: "If the murderer knew that there was evidence left, he would have dug up Shu Xue's body and destroyed it long ago. Why would he send it to Li Cheng to frame Master Jin? If we find out who the murderer is, wouldn't he be courting death?"
"I think the murderer is Master Li. He directed and acted out the murder himself. He must have found someone to take the blame. The relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family is incompatible. Everyone knows that Master Li has unique habits. Madam Li died so tragically. It is obvious that a pervert would do such a cruel thing. Then he put the blame on Master Jiang's son-in-law. It's killing two birds with one stone!"
Mrs. Li was also panicked. Because the marriage between the Li and Zhang families had failed, and because Jiang Jinyan married Zhang Yumo, the Li, Jiang and Zhang families were all at loggerheads.
In this way, they also had the right to accuse Cheng'er of falsely accusing Jiang's son-in-law.
Mrs. Li is also afraid now. If the real murderer cannot be found, what her son said will be fabricated.
She tried hard to think about where Shu Xue had gone since she didn't come back on Lantern Festival night...
At this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice rang out from outside the Golden Palace, "The Queen is here."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Fenghua, dressed in gorgeous clothes, slowly entered the hall. She bowed to the emperor in a dignified and polite manner.
What no one expected was that Jiang Fenghua was holding a little girl in her hands. What did the queen bring her here for?
All I heard was her saying, "Yier, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects to your uncle the Emperor?"
Xie Ruoyi didn't understand why she was brought here. Now that she didn't have to recite in class, a smile appeared on her face. After all, wandering around was more fun than reciting.
Xie Ruoyi bowed respectfully, "Yier greets the Emperor's uncle."
Xie Shang finally had a smile on his face, "No need to be polite!"
He then asked, "Why is the Queen here?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "When I passed by the garden just now, I saw Princess Yi playing alone there. I heard that Master Jiang asked her to recite the Three Character Classic, but the princess couldn't recite it, so she was punished. As a little girl, if she can't recite it, you should teach her more. Master Jiang is really unkind. She is the little princess of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the sweetheart of the Fourth Prince's Consort and the Fourth Prince."
She glanced around the Golden Throne Hall and asked, "Didn't the Fourth Prince come to court today?"
An official explained: "The Fourth Prince has taken sick leave."
"I wanted to come and talk to the Fourth Prince, asking him to teach the little princess a lesson, but I didn't expect him not to come to court." Jiang Fenghua added, "I heard that you are investigating Jin Ji's case. He killed people and abused corpses. How far have you investigated?"
Xie Shang took the initiative to say: "Jin Ji's suspicion has been cleared now. He didn't kill the person. He was also framed by someone."
"Has the case been thoroughly investigated? I have also received news that Jin Ji's going out of town to purchase silk thread was not a coincidence, but someone had already dug a trap and jumped into it. Your Majesty, who exactly wants to harm Jin Ji? Although he is the husband of my second sister, he is just a businessman!"
What the Queen meant was, if someone had already dug a trap for him to fall into, and Jin Ji was just a small businessman, why would the murderer frame him? There was only one reason why the murderer did this, because he was the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and the person really wanted to harm the Jiang family and throw dirty water on the Jiang family.
Everyone looked at Minister Shu. In recent days, Minister Shu was the one who cursed the Jiang family and threw dirty water on them.
It is natural for him to be sad and upset when his niece was murdered, but the outside world's discussion about the Jiang family was spread by Minister Shu!
Xie Shang said, "Queen, please be patient. The case is still under investigation. Does the Queen have any evidence to prove that someone has already set a trap for Jin Ji?"
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Lin Yu, bring the person up!"
Lin Yu was seen wearing a tight suit, looking heroic. The businessman Yu Laoba also came to the Golden Palace with her.
Yu Lao Ba was just a businessman, and he also did small business. He had never been to the palace, and how could he have seen such a scene? When he saw the emperor in the Golden Throne Hall, his legs went weak: "Your humble servant Yu Dong pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor."
Xie Shang said in a deep voice: "Tell me when Jin Ji went to your village to buy silk thread. Why did you ask Jin Ji to buy silk thread at this time?"
Yu Lao Ba said, "Your Majesty, I do have a batch of goods in my hands. I originally sold them to someone else a long time ago, but the customer suddenly didn't want them anymore. I took the goods from the villagers but didn't have the money to give them, and I couldn't return them all to the villagers, so I found Shopkeeper Jin and sold them to him at the market price. I didn't lie."
