"what?"

Xiao Changshi looked at Li Mao in disbelief.

When he saw the witness and the dagger, he was the first one to shout for arrest. How come he went into Prince Su's Mansion early and changed his mind when he came out!

He asked Li Mao in a cold voice: "Prince, have you listened to the bewitching words of my uncle? You have also seen the murder weapon and witnesses, and you are the one who wants to catch the murderer the most!"

Li Mao said in a deep voice: "I want to catch the murderer, but the murderer is definitely not Prince Su and his wife!"

Although Xiao Changshi wanted to win him over, the eldest prince was obviously bewitched by Xiao Yu, so there was no need to worry about the future!

He snorted coldly and said, "This is Daning, not Xiliang. Is it just a matter of words from the eldest prince? The prison officer of Daning will investigate it and give justice to the eldest prince!"

Li Mao also said coldly: "Of course I want justice, but I want to ask for it from the murderer who actually killed Chaohua!"

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Changshi deeply, his eyes revealing an inexplicable emotion, which made Xiao Changshi feel uneasy.

The person who puts the blame on Prince Su must be the real murderer!

At this moment, no matter how stupid Li Mao was, he understood it!

The crown prince of Daning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is not on good terms with Prince Su. When he looks at Xiao Yu, the murderous intent in his eyes is too obvious!

Chaohua’s death must be related to him!

Xiao Changshi calmed down and slowed down his attitude, saying: "Prince, have you been bewitched by my uncle? You saw the evidence and witnesses that day with your own eyes!"

Li Mao stepped forward and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, but I was careless for a moment and then I remembered that I missed a detail! On the day of the street collision, I saw with my own eyes that the Princess of Prince Su threw away the bloody dagger and got on the carriage back home. In other words, the person who picked up the dagger is the assassin!"

Xiao Changshi immediately retorted: "Impossible! The guy said that it was lost after you left, you couldn't have seen it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!

Xiao Changshi was so anxious that he confessed!

Han Feng and Duan Xu on the side also looked at Xiao Changshi in disbelief.

Han Feng frowned and stared at Xiao Changshi angrily, wishing he could cut open his brain to see what was inside!

"No...it's not like that!" Xiao Changshi's head was buzzing and he was so excited that he stuttered.

He really wanted to slap himself!

In a moment of desperation, he spoke the truth!

"Oh I got it!"

"It turns out it was a false accusation!"

"A prince like you actually framed his own uncle! How despicable!"

"He couldn't have killed that person!"

……

Hearing the people present talking loudly, without caring at all that he, the prince, was present, Xiao Changshi's anger instantly burst out!

"Shut up!"

Xiao Changshi's face was distorted as he shouted angrily, "All of you shut up!"

"If anyone slanders me again, I will execute you on the spot!"

His originally handsome face now had his eyes wide open, and he was staring at the people present with gnashing teeth, which made his face look particularly gloomy and terrifying! He immediately frightened the people who were whispering.

They were all unarmed, so how could they fight against the prince? They had to shut up and concentrate on watching the show!

A few brave ones hid behind the crowd and secretly laughed at Xiao Changshi!

As if to save face, Xiao Changshi put away his anger, looked at the crowd with a cold expression, and corrected what he had just said, "What I mean is that the witness said that the eldest prince left the scene early and did not see the whole thing. After the eldest prince left, the wife of Prince Su also left the scene with a dagger!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Do you treat everyone present here as fools? I and Prince Su are still here!" Li Mao's cold voice came faintly from behind Xiao Changshi.

Xiao Changshi, who was blinded by anger, only then remembered that there were two crucial people behind him.

He clenched his fists, turned around, looked at Xiao Yu and Li Mao opposite him, and said, "I just made a slip of the tongue. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes!"

Xiao Yu had a sarcastic smile on his face and said, "My nephew is indeed the Crown Prince of Daning. He was so impressive just now! You have brought shame to all the ancestors of Daning."

Xiao Changshi stared at Xiao Yu with bloodshot eyes. He should not have listened to Han Feng and brought Xiao Yu directly into the palace to let his father punish him for disrespect!

Otherwise, there is no need to argue with him here.

Han Feng lowered his head helplessly. He didn't understand how such a person could become the crown prince!

Li Mao no longer took Xiao Changshi seriously. Instead, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yu and asked respectfully, "Your Highness Prince Su, is there anyone else who can handle this matter? It seems that we are just wasting our breath here!"

Xiao Yu was not surprised that Li Mao's attitude changed so quickly.

He said loudly: "Of course! There are countless officials in Daning who are clear and bright!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look behind Xiao Changshi, at Duan Xu who was holding his forehead and trying to hide himself in the crowd as much as possible, and said loudly: "Sir Duan, as the Minister of the Dali Temple, it is your job to investigate and judge cases. You will be the one to record the confession!"

Duan Xu had worked in the Dali Temple for more than 20 years. As soon as this case came out, he sensed something was wrong.

The current emperor is suspicious, and some ministers in the court take advantage of this to create a chaotic situation. Those who are greedy for profit take the opportunity to make money, and those who are greedy for power take the opportunity to rise to a higher position. Those who are not greedy for profit or power and just want to protect themselves mostly hold positions of moderate size. There are very few people like him who want to protect themselves and yet hold high positions!

He tried his best to avoid being involved in such cases, but unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he still couldn't escape!

That’s all! Just consider it as a circle for my more than 20 years of duty at the Dali Temple!

Duan Xu stood up straight, no longer timid, and walked to Xiao Yu, bowed and said, "I obey your command!"

Xiao Yu looked at Han Feng with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Commander Han, where are the witnesses and evidence?"

The plan to kill Xiao Yu failed again, and Han Feng had no choice but to surrender.

He bowed his hands and saluted with a very respectful attitude, "Your Highness, the witnesses and evidence are still in the inn, and the scene has not been moved. We are just waiting for the three officials to check!"

Xiao Yu instructed Duan Xu, "Master Duan, I suggest you go to the inn with Master Zhang from the Ministry of Justice to check this matter first. I have some other evidence here, so you can come back later."

Duan Xu replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty! I will go to the palace to report to Your Majesty first, and will come right after that."

After Duan Xu sent someone to deliver the message to Zhang Zhong, he went straight to the palace.

After Han Feng said a few words to the soldiers beside him, he headed straight for the palace.

After all the investigators had left, only Xiao Yu, Li Mao, Xiao Changshi, a group of doctors and a group of people watching the fun were left at the gate of the huge palace.

Xiao Yu ignored Xiao Changshi and, with the support of Yan Qing, turned around and went back to the palace, with Li Mao following closely behind him.

They didn't even spare Xiao Changshi a single glance.

A strong sense of humiliation invaded Xiao Changshi's body and mind like a tide.

In front of a group of people watching the fun, Xiao Yu actually humiliated him so much!

His nails dug deep into his flesh and blood flowed from his palms.

Xiao Changshi seemed not to notice anything and let the blood drip from his palm.

It’s all Xiao Yu’s fault. If he hadn’t deliberately let the eldest prince of Xiliang to provoke him, he wouldn’t have made the slip of the tongue and led to the current situation!

He must get this account back from Xiao Yu!

"If even a word of what happened today gets out, watch out for your heads!"

After Xiao Changshi warned all the people present, he mounted his horse, squeezed his legs together, and galloped towards the direction of the palace.

In a carriage not far from Prince Su's Palace, Xiao Changan watched this farce, which ended in such a pleasing way, and the smile on his lips could no longer be hidden.

"Hahaha!"

"Xiao Changshi is such a loser! The road has been paved for him, yet he still jumps off the cliff!"

The servant Lu Ming echoed, "Congratulations, Your Highness. It probably won't be long before the Crown Prince is deposed!"

Xiao Changan laughed and said, "You are the only one who can talk!"

After saying that, he burst into laughter again!

Today he originally wanted to see the end of Prince Su's Mansion and find a chance to get rid of Su Lingyue, but he never expected to see a good show!

It wasn’t a wasted trip!
