Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 199 The prince is involved in a murder case

Luoluo couldn't help but bite her lips in pain, but through the flying snow in the sky, Shen Yu could still see the pain on her face.

He raised the dagger in his hand high and stabbed it into his hand. Cui Yi smiled openly when she saw this scene.

However, the dagger did not fall on Shen Yu's hand, but penetrated the swirling white snow and accurately shot into Cui Yi's throat. Before the smile on Cui Yi's face could be put away, she fell straight down.

The next second, Luoluo was thrown into a warm embrace. She asked tremblingly: "How is Cui Yi?"

Shen Yu's gentle words came to his ears: "Don't look... I'll take you back to your room."

In the room on the highest floor of Yihong Building, the room that had not been lit for a long time actually lit up a weak candle tonight.

Situ Yan paced back and forth in the room. He made an agreement with Cui Yi that she had successfully entered Prince Jin's Mansion and there would be news tonight.

The sound of a mechanism being turned on came from the secret passage. Situ Yan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly walked to the door of the secret room. However, the person he was expecting did not appear. Instead, he was greeted by a strange fragrance. He only felt his eyes darken. At the last moment when I went down, I vaguely saw two men walking in with something on their backs.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by the cold water, and what came into view was Shen Ruming's serious face.

Only then did Situ Yan clearly see that the whole room was full of officers and soldiers. He suddenly remembered that he was in the Red Building yesterday. He moved and realized that there seemed to be a person lying next to him. He turned his head and looked over, and he was almost scared to death. Gone.

The woman next to him had round eyes and slightly opened lips. There was a bit of unwillingness in her eyes. The most frightening thing was that half of her body was almost stained red with blood. The wound on her neck was already covered in blood due to the weather. Condensed, the wound looked extremely horrific.

There was still a bit of a smile on her face, and Situ Yan jumped up from the bed. Only then did he realize that he was holding a bloody dagger in his hand, and his body was also covered in blood.

He threw the dagger in his hand suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "What...what's going on?"

Shen Ruming said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I should ask you this. The scene of the murder is right in front of everyone. Shouldn't Your Highness explain it?"

Situ Yan reacted quickly and immediately thought of the scene before he fainted last night. He argued: "Gu...Gu was drugged last night. Gu doesn't know what happened?"

Shen Ruming stood up straight and said respectfully: "I have inquired about it. This room in Yihonglou is generally not open to the public. This dead woman is the madam of Yihonglou. I don't know what happened last night." The room was lit with lights when it got dark. A guest judged from the figure reflected on the window paper that there was a man inside, who seemed to be waiting for someone. This morning, seeing the candlelight still on, there was a guest in the building who stayed in the building without permission. I came up to take a look and found His Highness and this woman, so I reported the case."

"So what? No one saw the lonely murderer with their own eyes, so how can you prove that this person committed the murder alone? Gu said that he was drugged last night, and he didn't know why he came here. He must be Someone harmed me." Situ Yan said with a cold face.

Shen Ruming pondered for a moment and said: "I naturally believe that His Highness the Crown Prince will not kill anyone, but now that there are witnesses and material evidence, I also enforce the law impartially. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will cooperate."

"Cooperate? Gu has never done anything, how can you ask Gu to cooperate?" Situ Yan said angrily.

Shen Ruming ignored his anger at all and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is the prince, and the subordinate officials have no right to hear your highness's case. The subordinate officials will definitely report the matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to make a decision."

Situ Yan stared at Shen Ruming coldly: "Hey Shen Ruming, are you deliberately going against Gu?"

Shen Ruming said solemnly: "I am the official of my parents. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. Now His Highness is a suspect. I would like to ask Your Highness to go to Kyoto with His Majesty and explain the whole story clearly."

Situ Yan said coldly: "Gu didn't kill anyone, why should he go?"

Shen Ruming waved his hand towards the guard beside him and said, "Your Highness, I am offended."

The guard on the side couldn't help but stepped forward and held Situ Yan tightly. Situ Yan's face was ashen and he shouted sternly: "Shen Ruming, just wait here alone."

The other people in Yihonglou were also taken back to the Yamen. Situ Yan was the prince after all, and Shen Ruming did not dare to torture him. However, the other people in Yihonglou were not spared and were tortured one by one.

The girl inside was stubborn and said nothing, but Shen Ruming discovered the secret passage leading outside.

The excerpt that Shen Ruming presented came to Situ Lin's hands that day. He became more and more irritated as he looked at the excerpt, and immediately said: "Send someone to bring the prince to me!"

Situ Yan was soon brought to Situ Lin. Situ Lin looked pale and stood up, holding on to the edge of the table. He walked step by step in front of Situ Yan and said in a painful voice: "You have always been my most beloved eldest son. I have devoted everything to you." I cultivated you in my heart, but now you still dare to go in and out of brothels and kill people in brothels."

Speaking of the painful part, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, why did you appear in Yihonglou?"

"Father, father! I am wronged!" Situ Yan hugged Situ Lin's legs with tears in his eyes: "I have been taught by my father since childhood, how could I do such a ridiculous thing? That woman is just a prostitute. , if Erchen liked it, he could have brought her into the East Palace openly and honestly, but how could he kill her and still sleep next to him, waiting for someone to catch Erchen. This matter must have been framed by someone, and deliberately framed the blame on Erchen, please Father is aware of this."

Situ Lin stared at Situ Yan and said, "Even if you didn't kill that woman, the servant who went out with you confessed that he indeed saw you entering Yihong Building from a secret passage. How can you explain this? Mr. Shen also found out that Yihonglou was originally an intelligence gathering organization under the name of the Wei family."

"The woman who died entered the East Palace a few days after Weiying's death, and later hid in the Shen Mansion."

"When Lao Qi left the capital, he connected Lord Shen's daughter to Prince Jin's Mansion. The woman also went to Prince Jin's Mansion together. Someone came to the Prince Jin's Mansion last night to report that she failed to assassinate Su Ying. She fled in fear of crime and was found dead this morning. Yihonglou, and you happen to be in the room, how dare you say that these things have nothing to do with you? Do you dare to say that you and that woman have never known each other? Do you dare to say that she was not sent by you to assassinate Su Ying? "

The blood drained from Situ Yan's face instantly. Although it was true that Cui Yi was not killed by him, the other things were all arranged by him. He murmured: "It's none of your business. This matter was framed by Lao Qi. Father, , Lao Qi must have returned to Beijing privately without being summoned, and Lao Qi must have framed my son for this matter."
