So Qiu Shangshu hurried into the palace: "Your Majesty, now Lv Sanlang is an important suspect in murdering the daughter of a humble official, and I hope that Your Majesty will make a thorough investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile and said: "Qiu Aiqing, get up quickly, I have no intention of protecting him, but since there is no solid evidence now, it is better to release him first, and let the Ministry of Criminal Investigation slowly investigate, if Lu Sanlang is really guilty, I will No mercy."

He has never acted foolishly since he took the throne, who knew that giving a marriage would cause trouble, but since the imperial decree has been issued, there is absolutely no reason to take it back.

He wanted to favor the third princess, but he was also afraid that Lu Sanlang was really an ambitious wolf, and the one who would be hurt would be his daughter. Fortunately, it was only a marriage gift, not yet married, otherwise it would be truly irreparable.

Qiu Shangshu knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, with snot and tears, he said: "Your Majesty, don't let it go, I dare not hide it. The reason for salvaging the bones this time is because the adoptive daughter found Wanwan's handwriting at home. All signs point to Lu Sanlang, so... I hope Your Majesty will learn from you."

Others may not be able to find out the actions of arranging the servants to go to the moat, but if the emperor wants to check, he can always find some clues.

Instead of letting the monarch and ministers have rifts in the future, it is better to confess now.

The emperor frowned slightly after hearing this, and said in a delicate tone: "Why bother to go through so much trouble, Aiqing, if I report back earlier, I can also make my sister fair sooner."

Qiu Shangshu confessed his crimes for a while, and finally the two monarchs and ministers finally reached an agreement, and the person will not be released for now, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation, and then draw a conclusion after the results.

Once the imperial decree ordered a thorough investigation, this case was not under the sole authority of the small criminal department, and the case was directly handed over to the criminal department.

Mr. Meng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, took the order and arranged for two parties to investigate together. One side was led by a servant of the Ministry of Punishment to investigate Lu Sanlang, while the other party appointed Mu Lan to lead the original team of the Ministry of Punishment. Continue to pursue the clues on Qiu Wan's side.

This arrangement can be said that no one will be offended, and the case can be handled fairly.

As soon as Mu Lan received the appointment, she took people to the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and directly sealed off her and Qiu Tao's yard, as if digging three feet to find evidence.

In the court hall, all the ministers who heard the news couldn't help but quietly glanced at Qiu Shangshu who was going to the court as usual, and they were really cruel. This old fox really didn't care about anything in order to avenge his daughter. .

But this Mu Lan is also capable, and people with brains have already seen some clues from it. They solved the murder case on the first day they went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then logically led to the murder of Miss Qiu. The twists and turns are not easy.

The not-so-simple Mu Lan was directing the people from the Department of Criminal Justice to demolish her room, all the furniture had been moved out, the books on the bookshelves had been unfolded one by one, and the yard was full of scattered things.

Qiu Shangshu didn't bother about this at all, Mrs. Qiu was also sick in bed, it seemed that the righteous daughter was the one to investigate, and at the same time, she also showed outsiders her determination to find the murderer.

And because her future son-in-law was involved, the three princesses came to the Qiu Mansion without hesitation, and Princess Pingfang also came after hearing the news. Of course, they are only qualified to observe the case and cannot point fingers.

Princess Pingfang watched Qiu Wan's things being taken out, and she felt sore in her heart, when someone in the room shouted, "My lord, I found something."

At this time, the large carved lacquer bed in the room had just been removed, and there was a wooden box next to the wall in the innermost corner. When Lao Wang opened it, he saw a stack of letters, which seemed to be handwritten by Miss Qiu, so he shouted He took it out with a bang.

The third princess glanced at Mu Lan, who was not showing any signs of expression, and waited patiently. She still does not believe that Lu Sanlang will kill people, so she came to watch the case, not for anything else, just to stare at Mu Lan, for fear of her Do small tricks to frame his future son-in-law.

Mu Lan looked at the wooden box in Old Wang's hand, a dark light flashed in her eyes, she said calmly: "Open all the letters and read."

Pharaoh immediately followed suit.

There were about dozens of letters, all of which were dated, so he began to read from the earliest one.

"On June 256, 6 of Baiyue, I got engaged. My fiancé was Lu Sanlang. Everyone said he was a good match, and even my mother was full of praise for him. The fate of the matchmaker, the words of the matchmaker, people always have such a thing, it is not this person, it will be someone else, Qiu Wan does not ask for harmony in the future, but only wishes for the parents to be healthy and safe."

"In the 256th year of Baiyue, on July 7nd, I met Lu Sanlang for the first time after my engagement. He seemed to be trying to curry favor, and his poems and poems were very contrived. Is it really a good match for a person who only cares about romance but has no real talent? But others say he is good, so I must be asking too much, let it go."

"Hundred Yue..."

Each letter is very short, starting from the date of engagement, there will be one after a while, expressing all the worries about the marriage, I did not expect Miss Qiu to have such concerns about her children in private, but these letters seem to be very helpful to Cha Case is useless.

Everyone present thought so.

Pharaoh is still reading.There were some changes in the content until there were only two letters left.

"In the 258th year of Baiyue, on February 2nd, that girl in Pingfang was against me again, but what does that sentence mean? The third princess admired Lu Sanlang's literary talent very much, as if he was a little different after hearing this sentence No, she didn't try to please me so much, even the concubine sister started to circle around Pingfang abnormally, asking about the preferences of the third princess, life is always so boring."

When everyone heard this, they immediately lifted their spirits, the third princess and Princess Pingfang were particularly obvious, and the "he" mentioned here naturally refers to Lu Sanlang.

What did the third princess think of? She suddenly looked at Princess Pingfang and asked, "You and Sanlang mentioned that I appreciate his literary talent?"

"I just mentioned it casually at the time. Since then, Qiu Tao has always loved to get close to me. She always asks about you, and I only think of her as a power grab..."

Princess Pingfang said halfway, but her face changed and she stopped.

She went straight up and snatched the last letter from Lao Wang's hand and continued to read "May 258, 5 in Baiyue, the weather today is not very good, he asked me to see him, but I refused, but I thought about it later People always like to act infatuated, saying that they must wait by the moat. After thinking about it, they should go. Unexpectedly, they ran into the scene of the second sister throwing themselves into his arms. It should be a coincidence. These days are not only boring, It’s also a little ridiculous, it’s annoying to be true or false.”

The last letter was over, and the third princess couldn't stand anymore. She finally struggled and asked: "Pingfang, the handwriting on this letter is Miss Qiu's handwriting?"

Princess Pingfang had a complicated expression on her face. She stretched out her hand to check a few letters, her eyes flashed, and finally she nodded silently.

The third princess seemed to be frightened, she closed her eyes, and left with an ugly expression.

Mu Lan's tone was still flat: "Sort up the letters and bring them back to the Department of Criminal Justice."

Princess Pingfang clenched the letters in her hand, and she took a deep look at Mu Lan: "May Miss Mu take a step to speak?"

Mu Lan blinked her eyes: "I don't know what's going on with the Princess?"

Princess Pingfang stared at her for a while, gritted her teeth secretly and said, "It's about Qiu Wan, please take a moment to speak."

Mu Lan's eyes showed doubts, she hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand to make everyone retreat.

Princess Pingfang seemed worried, and went straight into the room that had been evacuated.

Mu Lan frowned, suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, could it be that she remembered the wrong date when she wrote the letter, probably not.

There were only the two of them in the room, Princess Fang suddenly became agitated, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Qiu Wan? Is it really Lu Sanlang who wants to kill her?"

Mu Lan was shocked immediately, she pursed her lips, and said calmly: "Sister Yi has passed away, I don't understand what the Princess is talking about?"

Could it be that she really misremembered the day and let the girl Pingfang see it?

"I knew you wouldn't admit it. This piece of gold-sprinkling paper was given by the palace. At that time, His Majesty not only gave Qiu Shangshu a knife, but also gave my father a knife."

Princess Pingfang couldn't hide her excitement, and took out one letter from the letter alone.

Mu Lan paused for a moment, of course she knew that it was gold-sprinkling paper. Shangshu Liqiu brought it back in April the year before last, and gave her all the paper. That's why the letter with that date came out, and it was considered as taking advantage of the time at that time. , so as not to arouse suspicion.

Is there something wrong with this paper?

"What does the princess mean? This is Yijie's handwriting. As for the golden paper, I don't understand it with my superficial knowledge."

Princess Pingfang smiled suddenly, and she raised the paper in her hand and said: "You are really clever but you are mistaken by your cleverness. If this kind of gold sprinkled paper is stained with ink, within three months, the gold powder under the words will bulge, but It has been more than a year since this paper, but there is still no gold dust, so this letter must have been written less than three months ago, and the handwriting is indeed Qiu Wan's."

As she spoke, she tore the paper in her hand into pieces with a low laugh, and sprinkled it lightly on the ground.

Mu Lan: "..."

What is this woman crazy about, and what does it mean?

Princess Pingfang was still smiling, and her eyes showed a lightness: "No matter what the reason is, as long as it is what she wants to do, this princess will help her achieve it."

Mu Lan raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, her heart was still a little flustered, she didn't know if Ping Fang really wanted to help her, or she was cheating on her.

"What is the meaning of the Princess, Yijie is dead, this is an indisputable fact."

Princess Pingfang snorted softly: "Don't do this, I want to see Qiu Wan."

She wanted to know why Qiu Wan faked her death, why she accused Lv Sanlang of murder, and if she was really dissatisfied with this marriage, and if she still had a chance, and a chance to express her heart.

Mu Lan stared at the piece of paper on the ground, smiled slightly and said, "Sister Yi's mourning hall is in the backyard, if the princess really wants to see her, then follow me to offer a stick of incense."

In the past, they were always at loggerheads, and Princess Pingfang had no reason to help her, so no matter from which angle you think about it, you still think it's good.
