Chapter 65 Identity
Qionghua suddenly became excited, with an expression of resentment and a hint of fear.
She clasped her fingers together and trembled slightly: "If Er Niang doesn't leave, you will die..."
As soon as she started talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Qionghua immediately closed her mouth and quickly packed up the things on the case.
Cui Hengyue suppressed her inner curiosity and looked at the door.
"Little madman, it's time to eat."
Chen Guang opened the door with a food box and walked in.
Cui Hengyue was surprised when she saw him: "Why are you here to deliver the food?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Cui Hengyue reacted: "No, didn't Lieutenant Yun just give an order not to feed those who were fighting?"
Upon hearing this, before Chen Guang could explain, Qionghua was shocked and said, "Yueyue, are you fighting again?"
again?
Cui Hengyue was ashamed, covered her face and whispered: "We will talk about this later, there are outsiders here now."
Qionghua didn't ask further questions and ran to Chen Guang: "Excuse me, Deputy Lieutenant Chen, I'll do it."
Regardless of his orders, since the food has been delivered, of course he has to eat it.
Before Chen Guang could say anything, Qionghua "snatched" the food box from Chen Guang's hand, ran to the food table, took out the meals in the food box one by one, and laid them out.
Chen Guang glanced at the busy Qionghua and answered Cui Hengyue's question: "The captain is kind and considers that your old wounds have not healed and you have new ones, and allow you to eat during the period of reflection.
"However, after three days, you must finish your work before you can eat."
After a pause, he added: "From now on, you can eat here after you finish your work, and there is no need to go to the dining hall."
At this time, Qionghua exclaimed: "Yueyue, there is milk soup and meat, it is mutton..."
Qionghua was very excited.
Cui Hengyue had such a calm expression on her face.
Haha, Yunchen really took great pains to let her eat alone in order not to let others know that her meal was different.
"Why did you let Su Biwen and Li Bier go?"
Cui Hengyue suddenly stood up and walked step by step towards Chen Guang: "Even if the evidence is insufficient, Su Biwen and Li Bi'er are still suspected of murder. Why not lock them up until the truth is found out?
"If you release them now, won't you be afraid that they will kill again?"
Qionghua's expression changed, she put down the bowl and looked over.
Faced with Cui Hengyue's questioning, Chen Guang remained calm: "It's not that the evidence is insufficient, it's that there is no evidence at all."
"No evidence?" Cui Hengyue was so angry that her voice changed: "Even if the scissors are not Li Bier's, Li Bier is good at using leaves as hidden weapons, and there are leaves in the room and on the corridor.
"Today you have also seen with your own eyes that the hidden weapon Li Bier used was a leaf. The night I jumped off the cliff and someone plotted against me, the person also used a leaf. This shows that Li Bier did not kill me once or twice.
"With such obvious evidence, you actually say there is no evidence? Are you blind?"
After hearing these words, Qionghua was filled with fear and couldn't help but glare at Chen Guang: "When our wife entered the South Palace, the King of Chu personally promised our wife that as long as our wife and Yueyue stay in the South Palace for one day, he will
Protect the lady and Yue Yue for one day.
"Now, Yue Yue has been injured many times and almost died. Is this how King Chu keeps his promise?"
When Cui Hengyue scolded Chen Guang for being blind, Chen Guang's expression became even more ugly. Now that he heard Qionghua accusing King Chu of breaking his promise, his expression became even more ugly.
"We, the King of Chu, keep our promises and never break our promises. What we said at the beginning was to protect your safety, not to ensure that you would be unscathed.
"We have kept you safe, and the King of Chu has not broken his promise."
After defending the King of Chu, Chen Guang said to Cui Hengyue: "That day, after Wu Yang arrived with his people, they sealed off the south courtyard.
"He checked carefully and found that there were no leaves on the porch or in the room..."
"impossible!"
Cui Hengyue interrupted Chen Guang: "At that time, Li Bi'er used leaves as a hidden weapon to sneak attack me, but I dodged it.
"One of the leaves was inserted into the window. Until I left, the leaf was still on the window..."
This time it was Chen Guang's turn to interrupt her: "There are no leaves on the windows, not even signs of fighting."
"..."
Cui Hengyue realized that the leaves in the room and on the windows must have been cleaned by someone. This person was either Li Bier or Su Biwen.
She closed her eyes and thought carefully about the situation that day, trying to find evidence.
After a moment, Cui Hengyue suddenly opened his eyes: "By the way, Wu Yang and I entered through the door, and we didn't see anyone else along the way. Su Biwen must have escaped through the window after helping Li Bi'er create the illusion.
"There are no traces on the window, but there must be his footprints outside the window. Just compare them and you will know whether they are Su Biwen."
The master has already checked these clues.
Chen Guang looked at Cui Hengyue inexplicably: "There are indeed footprints outside the window, but those footprints don't match Su Biwen's footprints.
"In the past three days, we have compared the footprints of everyone in the South Hall, but we still can't find anyone who matches the footprints."
Finally, he added: "Yours doesn't match up either."
Cui Hengyue was speechless: "..."
These people, I really don’t know whether to call them rigorous or stupid. They were indeed very rigorous when investigating the case, but they couldn’t find the real culprit.
"Okay, you can reflect here for the next three days."
Seeing Chen Guang about to leave, Cui Hengyue quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute -"
"Is there anything else?" Chen Guang turned around and looked over.
Cui Hengyue: "You must have investigated Li Bi'er and Su Biwen. I want to know who they are."
Chen Guang's eyes flickered, and the general guessed it. Cui Hengyue asked him about the identities of Li Bi'er and Su Biwen.
"Ahem——"
Chen Guang deliberately coughed twice and cleared his throat: "We always do not ask about the past or identity of people who enter the South Hall.
"It's just that this time the situation is special, so the captain sent people down the mountain to investigate.
"Li Bi'er was originally the granddaughter of the former Minister of Household Affairs. Because her grandfather and father collaborated with the enemy and treason, the whole family was sentenced to be beheaded. At that time, it was Duke Jingguo who led the troops to the Li Mansion to arrest people.
"At that time, Li Bi'er was still young. On the day she was arrested, she was taken out to play by her servants, so she escaped.
"Later he was taken away from Jinyang by his servants and lived incognito.
"Three years ago, Li Bier ambush Duke Jingguo on his way to court and assassinated him, but failed.
"Therefore, the imperial court issued a sea arrest document and ordered all state and county governments to make every effort to arrest Li Bi'er.
"Li Bi'er hid in Tibet and was almost caught several times. In the end, she had no way to escape, so she came to Yunxuan Temple to seek asylum from the King of Chu."
Cui Hengyue took advantage of the situation and asked: "Li Bi'er is an important criminal of the imperial court. Why doesn't the imperial court send people to Yunxuan Temple to arrest her?"
"This is Yunxuan Temple, which is under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu, not the imperial court."
"The King of Chu is a relative of the royal family. Even though he has no real power, he still has the official title of the imperial court. Why is it not under the control of the imperial court?"
"this......"
The morning light was silent.
