Chapter 118 The mouth that cannot be pried
Based on the clues that Xie Lingjiao happened to encounter while out playing, Wei Ling ordered people to dig deeper.
Many people were arrested.
Some things were also found during interrogation.
It’s just that we haven’t gotten the definite evidence yet.
"Rare visitor!" The prince was still staying up late. Nowadays, he has put on some meat on his body, and he doesn't look so dry and thin, but staying up late these past few days still makes him look haggard.
He is busy with official duties.
My cousin, on the other hand, went out for trysts with the little doctor all day long.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him come out to handle official business. I caught him tonight, so I had to get a bit angry: “So Master Wei still remembers that he holds a position in the Ministry of Punishment, hasn’t he forgotten?”
Throw the case file in your hand on the table.
Look up and down.
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong.
What good happened today? His cold, uncaring cousin looked happy.
"You..." the prince was not sure, "are you really Wei Ling?"
Couldn't it be someone pretending to be?
Based on his understanding of Wei Lian, he could indeed find someone to pretend to be himself to handle official business.
"You're not Wei Lun... you're Wei Siba?"
Why are you so crazy?
Wei Lian only thought that the prince had some hidden illness.
Without even looking at him.
He went straight to the place where the suspects related to the case of poisoning the prince were detained.
"That's not right!" The prince stood up and followed him, muttering, "You are so indifferent and arrogant, you are Wei Ling!"
"My good cousin, what good thing has happened to you? Tell me about it, so that I can be happy too?"
The prince was very interested in something that could make his cousin happy.
He kept following behind and asking questions.
I saw that he kept ignoring me.
Then he thought to himself: "Let me guess, is it related to the little doctor? Has she forgiven you? It's not easy, cousin, you finally did it. I thought it would take at least two months, but I didn't expect that the progress was better than I thought. Hurry up.”
"No, I have to go back and tell my mother about this, so that she can be happy too!"
As soon as these words came out.
Wei Ling finally reacted.
He glanced at his cousin who talked too much and said, "If you are talking nonsense, I will transfer this case to Dali Temple."
Major cases are heard by Dali Temple.
There's nothing wrong with handing it over.
But Dali Temple did not have such a smart cousin to share his worries.
The prince stopped immediately and said, "Look at me, how could you tell your mother so early about something that you are only just convinced of?" You should know more about it and let your mother be happy to hear it.
"That's right." The prince was basically sure that his cousin and the little doctor had something.
However, more evidence needs to be found based on these clues.
So he pretended to change the subject, but in fact he was still testing, "My mother liked the medicinal materials that the little doctor gave me earlier, and she even asked when the little doctor would come to the palace. My young and beautiful mother has developed new dishes in the palace, waiting for the little doctor." The doctor went to taste it.”
Xie Lingjiao likes the dishes in the Queen's Palace very much.
I also like the queen who is luxurious, dignified and approachable.
"I'll tell her tomorrow."
Wei Ling asked someone to open the cell door.
A low-ranking young eunuch is imprisoned here.
Twelve years ago, this person was responsible for the procurement matters outside the palace.
An inconspicuous little person.
If Xie Lingjiao hadn't happened to encounter Zheng Zhi torturing the abandoned concubine in the cold palace when she was out for a walk, she would have shared it with Wei Yan overnight. It made him suspicious of Zheng Zhi, and they would not trace him along this line.
"Twelve years ago, Zheng Zhidu asked you to buy something for her and bring it to the palace?"
The eunuch was detained for several days.
Always locked up.
It was damp, dark, and silent, with no sense of time and no one talking to him.
So long.
He finally knew why he caused this disaster.
"Master Wei is aware of it. I don't know that lady. I have never done what you said."
He refused to tell the truth.
Wei Ling asked people to leave.
All the doors and windows of the cell were sealed, leaving only a small hole for air circulation. "No! No!! Don't go! Don't go!!!"
"Don't lock me here! I really haven't done anything! I don't know... I really don't know anything!!!"
The eunuch was very frightened.
I feel like there is a ghost in the cell.
Fear made him risk his life to slap the door panel.
"Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!!"
Lasts for a long time.
Until my strength is exhausted and I can no longer continue.
In times of despair.
The heavy wooden door opened again.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"This slave really doesn't know..."
"You were seriously ill when you first entered the palace, but you recovered without being treated. At that time, Zheng Zhi happened to enter the palace to be with the third princess." Wei Li calmly stated the evidence he had.
One by one.
The more the eunuch listened, the paler his face became.
Finally, I was shaking all over.
It's like falling into hell.
"Slave, I don't know... I don't know..."
"Master Wei is aware of it, but this slave has never done it."
Afraid of being like this.
Talk back.
The prince shook his head, smiled, and suggested to Wei Li, "Why don't we go to jail? Let the tenth brother come and see?" The tenth prince was Zheng Zhi's son.
The eunuch’s savior’s parent and son.
Hearing this, he felt even more frightened.
It directly exceeded the maximum he could bear, causing him to fall to the ground and twitch.
"No... the slave didn't..."
"It's loyal."
The smile on the prince's face remained.
It's just that the smile is very shallow and cold.
"Since you can't pry his mouth open, let's kill him." The prince showed no mercy to the accomplice who had made him seriously ill for more than ten years.
Just giving up such an important clue.
He was unwilling to do so.
In the end, I didn’t know what to think, and suddenly asked, “Why don’t you ask the little doctor to try it? Didn’t she say she could do this?”
It’s been over a month.
The prince then remembered Xie Lingjiao, whom he had declined.
I was worried that she would cause trouble.
Now he has the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, "Don't you want to buy a house, little doctor? I happen to have some real estate in Beijing."
Such reward.
Should we be able to ask the little doctor to take action?
"She doesn't want it."
How could Wei Lian not have real estate in Beijing? But Xie Lingjiao refused to accept it and said she would buy it with her own money.
Otherwise it will be uncomfortable to live there.
In addition, Wei Ling reminded the prince, "She is very vindictive. If you have rejected her, she will not help you easily."
"It means..." His reaction made the prince interested, and he squinted his eyes, "Then the young doctor also has some strange abilities in this area?"
It turns out that the little doctor can do more than just cure diseases.
Something beyond ordinary imagination.
So amazing.
If it can be used by him...
"I brought her to Beijing." Wei Ling knew what the prince was thinking. He stopped and turned around to look into his eyes. "I promised that I would protect her throughout her life."
"No one can do anything to her."
OK OK.
The prince finally understood.
These two have secretly made love to each other and have promised each other for life!
"We are all a family." The prince wanted Wei Ling to help accommodate him. "The little doctor loves to play so much. Cousin, you definitely don't want her to be imprisoned in the East Palace by your father, right?"
