Chapter 135 (One Hundred and Thirty-Five) Confession
At this time, Yin Ruchen asked to take a look at the man's right shoulder, so Meng Lian sent his guards to remove his clothes and expose his right shoulder.
"This man is the assassin who stabbed Min Nu that day! The wound on his right shoulder was exactly where Min Nu stabbed him! Ding Dadi was not the assassin that day. Min Nu admitted the wrong person before." Yin Ruchen suddenly realized. She felt very guilty and immediately turned around and apologized to Ding Dadi: "I'm sorry, the girl recognized the wrong person..."
Unexpectedly, before Yin Ruchen finished his apology, Ding Dadi shouted excitedly: "Miss Yin, you didn't admit the wrong person! You really did! I am the assassin, you see clearly, I am the one!"
Meng Lian asked several imperial doctors to examine Ding Datian's wounds. The imperial doctors unanimously agreed: Yin Ruchen said that the wound was stabbed by her with a sword when she stabbed her that night. Judging from the condition of the wound, this is completely reasonable.
The person on the other side who tested the toxicity of the flying needle also reported that the poison on the flying needle was the same kind of poison as the flying needle that was shot at Yin Ruchen. In other words, the poison on the dart that Feng Jinlei shot, the flying needle that was inserted into the wall of Yin Ruchen's residence, the dart that hit King Jing Yin, and the flying needle that hit Yan Moying were all the same.
"Were you the one who used the poison dart to plot against His Majesty?" Meng Lian asked Ding Datian sternly.
Before Ding Dadian could answer, Ding Dadi rushed in eagerly: "None of it was done by him! Everything has nothing to do with him, it was done by the villain! It was all done by the villain! The wound on the villain's right shoulder..."
Before Ding Dadi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Meng Lian: "Ding Dadi, I am asking him now, not you."
"The killing of Imperial Physician Feng, the assassination of Yin Ruchen, and the use of poison darts to plot against Your Majesty were all done by me alone. I confess to them all! One person is responsible for the work and all this has nothing to do with Ding Dadi. Please let him go!" Ding Dadian said sincerely! .
"No!" Ding Dadi shouted to Ding Dadian with tears in his eyes: "Brother!"
Ding Dadian turned his head to look at Ding Dadi, and said in a deep voice: "Dadi, why are you bothering! Why do you have to take things that have nothing to do with you? Brother will not let you take the blame!" "This is a capital crime. !" Ding Dadi said desperately.
"Haha!" Ding Datian raised his head and smiled, then turned to look at Ding Datian and said: "Your brother, from the day I started to be a killer, my life was not my own. I didn't expect to live until today!"
"Were the killing of Dr. Feng, the assassination of Yin Ruchen, and the assassination of Your Majesty with poison darts all instigated by the same person? Who instigated you to do it?" Meng Lian asked Ding Datian.
"Kill if you want, sir! I have a principle as a killer: even if I am captured, I will not reveal the person behind the mission unless the person betrays his trust or betrays his country for glory!" Ding Datian said firmly.
Meng Lian looked at Ding Datian and felt that even if he continued to press, it would be difficult to directly know who the instigator was from Ding Datian, so he asked other questions: "What did you want to do when you entered the abandoned garden through the passage under the dry well just now?"
"I heard that Ding Dadi was regarded as an assassin, so I came in to find a way to save him. Whatever you ask now, sir, as long as it is a question that does not violate my principles, I will answer it truthfully, but I beg you to let Ding Dadi go!" Ding Dadian said.
"Did you dig that passage?" Meng Lian continued to ask.
"No." Ding Datian shook his head.
"Then how did you know?"
