The villain is being forced to whitewash again

Without thinking about this question, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel dazed.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Shi's tone was cold, but what he said next made Zhao Yuan's heart beat wildly.

"You just said that although they are father and daughter, they are strangers. If Yueqiong gives birth to a child one day in the future, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, Bei Gongchen will undoubtedly be in the most disadvantaged position."

"Yueqiong is the fuse of the conflict. Of course, getting rid of her can solve the conflict, but she is not the only reproductive tool that the prince wants. If you look for it, the second and third will appear. If Bei Gongchen wants to find a pillow for himself There is only one way to live without worry, isn't it?"

"Impossible!" Zhao Yuan dismissed subconsciously.

Qin Shi asked back: "Where is it impossible?"

Zhao Yuan wanted to say what was wrong, but when he thought about the words just now, he could taste a sour taste in his mouth. There seemed to be whispers in the bamboo forest, echoing in his ears like a cuckoo weeping blood.

... Is this really the case?I really don't want to believe that this cruel conjecture is true, although it is extremely emotional.

"But that's the real father of the princess. After so many years of nurturing, the tiger's poison doesn't even eat children..."

Qin Shiha suddenly wanted to laugh, this answer was too wishful thinking, he almost wondered if the person he was talking to now was Zhao Yuan's twin brother.

Where did the person who tricked himself into coming here just after entering the door with a few words go?Why did you suddenly become hesitant?

As a confidant and an official in the court, he should be no less knowledgeable than other wily foxes. Is it possible that you always think that this kind of thing rarely happens in the world?Such a loyal person will sooner or later be trapped in a cocoon. In some respects, this person in front of him is really too simple.

"Everyone felt the same way at Luoyan Villa, and the current situation is so similar. You are not Bei Gongchen, how can you be so sure that Bei Gongchen will not have the same thoughts as Yang Luo?"

Listening, Zhao Yuan, who originally wanted to refute, couldn't say a word. Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, he had to admit in frustration that these words were not unreasonable.

Qin Shi went on to say: "You just said that the prince is kind to you. What if Bei Gongchen is indeed a murderer? Should I hide the truth and keep it safe, or expose the truth?"

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth, but didn't move a single word in his mind. The hem of his white clothes was hanging quietly, and the silence gradually spread in the bamboo forest.

This choice is undoubtedly extremely difficult, no matter whether it is emotional or reasonable, I will feel sorry for Bei Gongchen and the prince.

Qin Shi saw Zhao Yuan's hesitation, but he didn't do anything to urge him. He just stood there like a stone statue, unmoved despite the wind and rain, and the black color in his eyes became dark.

He must know whether the other party wants to stand on the side of the law?Or the side of love?The results obtained by the two are also different. What is needed is the truth, or the truth they want.

In the long silence, Zhao Yuan finally moved his lips, and said in a low voice: "... I believe that Bei Gongchen is innocent."

As expected, it was the expected standard answer. Qin Shi had already guessed what the other party was going to say next, it was nothing more than a few sentences that he couldn't bear to let go, and immediately lost interest in listening to it.

But what the other party said next was completely different. He raised his head and stared at Qin Shi with resolute eyes, and even his tone was forceful.

"I didn't say this because I wanted to protect Bei Gongchen. I know her character very well. She is definitely not as mad as Yang Luo! I guarantee with my personality that this is what I say from the bottom of my heart without any falsehood."

"If it's true that I was wrong in the end, this matter will not be biased against what you said, so please go ahead and catch the murderer no matter what."

Qin Shi didn't expect this decisive attitude. He thought that the other party would always want to cover up for his own future or because he couldn't bear it, but in fact, it was a clear distinction between public and private, which was completely different from the sly and hesitant impression when they first met. This also made him finally lose his laziness and start to get serious.

What is needed most now is such a companion who can clearly distinguish between public and private. If he deliberately confuses black and white, then he really doesn't have the energy to help. Now he thinks it's time for him to think about how to solve this tricky trouble.

The situation on their side is very passive, Fu Sheng is accused of being a murderer and cannot deny the accusation for the time being, after all, there are all physical witnesses.

There is no need to repeat the investigation of the physical evidence. It has been so long since it was found under Fusheng's bed, and Bei Gongchen must have sent someone to find out where the murder weapon came from, but at this moment there is no clue. Going to see it is just a waste of time.

Since we can't start from the physical evidence, why not... see if there are any clues worth digging in this witness.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Shi asked calmly: "You said that on the night of the murder, Yueqiong was the only one in the Beigong palace who saw Fusheng running out of the prince's bedroom with the murder weapon?"

Zhao Yuan nodded, talking about so many scenes reappearing that he couldn't count them with his fingers. Two months seems like a year has passed. Maybe he should be thankful that he has enough hair, otherwise he can easily pull out a few. silvery white.

"That's right. After the murder, she was the first and only one to stand up as a witness. In fact, no matter how we think about it, we feel that this coincidence is too coincidental. Besides, Yueqiong is not an ordinary servant or maid. It's hard not to wonder if she was the one who did it."

"It's just that there is no evidence, neither can refute the other party's sworn testimony, and there is no way to prove that the murder weapon found was deliberately dirty and framed. If Yueqiong still identifies Fusheng as the murderer, then Fusheng will always be accused. "

"Nowadays, we can only use Fusheng's status as a martial arts knight to delay the day of execution as much as possible, but it can't go on for long now. The imperial court has already negotiated with Wulin, and Fusheng will be escorted to Shaolin Temple in seven days. Executing him in front of many martial arts knights is undoubtedly a death sentence."

Qin Shi thought about it: "In other words...we only have seven days to prove that Fusheng is not the murderer?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan's throat was dry, and he couldn't muster up the courage to look up at the person opposite.

Perhaps the other party's eyes were full of disapproval and irritability, which he knew but could not resolve.

The cunning disappeared in a flick of the finger, and the frustration turned the usual mouse-catching cat into a caught mouse, lost the power of control, and fell into the predicament that may be the biggest obstacle in its life.

Qin Shi neither agreed nor rejected his request, his expression was simple and complicated, completely out of recognition, and his eyes were still sharp and cold, which made him feel uneasy.

In retrospect, the other party is not like a body of flesh and blood, but an indifferent bystander who doesn't care about the world, without vanity and hobbies, and can't see any human attributes in this man.

Even when Luoyan Villa was about to be confronted with swords, he did not lose this calmness.

Unlike him, he was completely lost after falling into a predicament. The storm surged in his mind without the appearance of the Sea God to calm him down. His past honor and self-confidence disappeared in this storm.

He sighed, "Time is indeed too tight..."

A smile floated on Qin Shi's lips, "No, seven days is just right."

"What, just right?" The voice seemed to break him, and he asked incomprehensibly, "How could it be possible to find the truth in seven days? If it took half a month, we might still be able to find some clues, but seven days is not enough at all. ah!"

He really didn't understand what Qin Shi was thinking.

Before Qin Shi came to Beigong Palace, he had been worrying about how to oppose a general in such a short period of time, but no matter how he thought about it, it was a fantasy.

The more time passed, the more pessimistic he couldn't help, thinking that Fu Sheng might have no chance of surviving.

Qin Shi's thinking was just the opposite. He was not frightened by the tight time, but when Zhao Yuan was worried and pessimistic, he felt that God was on his side.

Under Zhao Yuan's puzzled eyes, he showed a smile.

"You think these seven days are very short, but you forget that the same is true for the mastermind behind the scenes. Compared with the degree of impatience, that person is more anxious."

"Because success or failure depends on one action in just seven days. If there is any mistake in the middle, there is not enough time to make up for it. Only by turning the living into the dead, this is the most efficient way to get rid of all unfavorable factors can ensure nothing goes wrong."

"But the more you do this, the more flaws will appear. At that time, it will be like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Can the people hiding behind the chaotic stone wall continue to cover their figures under the light?"

"Isn't the seven days just right for us?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned, unable to say another word.

Previously, he only cared about the short time left for them, but ignored the thoughts of the black people behind the scenes.

Whether it's him, Bei Gongchen, or the No. 1 catcher Jiang Jinzhi in the world, Qin Shi is the only one who knows how to think differently and open up a new way of thinking within limited limitations.

Zhao Yuan finally understood Qin Shi's real intention.

He wanted to make the instigator of all this flustered and anxious. He couldn't hold back his self-doubt in the dark corner, and while he wanted to kill the grass, he inevitably showed his feet.

After understanding this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but marvel in his heart, and also no longer questioned Qin Shi's actions, because he was convinced and admitted that he was not as good as Qin Shi.

He felt that he seemed to see a faint hope in the chaos, and that hope came from Qin Shi.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

Qin Shi smiled and said: "Since you want to make the other party feel anxious and flustered, of course you can't just stand here, you will feel more dangerous if you press every step of the way, right?"

-

In the dormitory, Yueqiong was embroidering flowers, one stitch at a time, her dexterous hands fluttering like butterflies on the white cloth.

Her appearance is also very beautiful. Although she is the concubine the prince married a year ago, she is only four or five years older than Bei Gongchen, and she wears noble and dignified clothes on weekdays.

Even the embroidery is full of luxury. Bamboo, chrysanthemum, plum, etc. have never appeared under her hands.

After a while, she embroidered a bunch of delicate and rich peonies on the white cloth, and as soon as she put the finished embroidery on the table, the servants put it away respectfully.

Jin Chun graciously praised: "It's such a beautiful embroidery, each of Madam's works is really ingenious, and it took less than ten days to complete eight complicated ones, and they are all excellent products without any flaws, Jin Chun Chun would also like to have such dexterous hands as Madam!"

Hearing Jinchun's sweet praise, Yueqiong was not only not happy, but frowned slightly.

"In less than ten days, I have already finished eight embroideries?"

Jinchun said: "That's right, Madam picked it up to embroider when she had nothing to do before, and before she knew it, she had already embroidered eight sets."

Yueqiong became even more unhappy when she heard that, and said coldly: "Take all the embroidery away, and don't put it in front of me again."

Jinchun doesn't understand Yueqiong's displeasure, but he doesn't want to cause trouble so he can only obey.

At this time, a servant came in to report, "Zhao Yuan brought a guest named Qin Shi to see his wife, saying that he wanted to talk about the prince."

Jin Chun couldn't help muttering: "Again, how many times is this? Madame, let's stop seeing each other. Anyway, there are only a few lines back and forth, and it disturbs your rest, Madam."

Yueqiong suddenly said: "Don't see me? Why don't you see me?"

She was smiling but not smiling, and there was an incomprehensible meaning in her eyes, "It's the best to come."
