Wei Zheng's Confession!
Li Chengqian was so angry that his face turned ashen, but because of the imperial edict, there was nothing he could do.
Looking at Lu Qing's hateful smile, he gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.
"Lu Qing, the deceased is my nanny. Although I can't interfere, I will keep an eye on her. Three days later…if you can't find out who the murderer is, I won't let you off!”
After saying that, he flung his sleeves and said coldly,""Let's go!"
Everyone from the Eastern Palace quickly turned around and left.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Li Chengyi, glanced at Lu Qing, then smiled and cupped his hands.""Lord Lu, you have to work hard on the case. In three days, I will also wait for Lord Lu's results.”
Lu Qing looked at Li Chengyi's back and narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Han Min walked over. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and took a deep breath."His Majesty's imperial edict came at the right time. Your Excellency doesn't know, but I was scared to death just now.”
"Yes, it's too timely."
Lu Qing said meaningfully.
"What?" Han Min was stunned.
Lu Qing waved his hand and ignored Han Min. He turned around and walked towards Wei Zheng.
At this moment, Wei Zheng was being supported by someone to sit on a stool. His clothes were covered in wounds, and blood was constantly seeping out of them.
Lu Qing frowned and said,""Men, go and get the doctor."
The jailer looked at Han Min, and Han Min didn't even think about it.""Listen to Lord Shaoqing, go quickly."
The jailer hurriedly ran out.
When Wei Zheng saw this scene, he raised his hand reluctantly and cupped his hands at Lu Qing to thank him."Thank you, Lord Lu."
Lu Qing shook his head and said," Lord Wei suffered an undeserved disaster. We didn't protect Lord Wei well."”
Wei Zheng waved his hand and sighed without saying anything.
Lu Qing said," Lord Wei, time is of the essence. I won't be exchanging pleasantries. Let's get straight to the point. The sooner we solve this case, the sooner Lord Wei can escape."”
Wei Zheng nodded." Please speak, Lord Lu. I will tell you everything I know."”
"Alright."
Lu Qing did not delay any longer. He asked," Did you go to Qin Yi's house yesterday at around 12:45?"”
Wei Zheng nodded." That's right. Yesterday, Qin Yi asked someone to invite me to his house. He said that he had official business to discuss with me."”
"Did Qin Yi invite you?"
"Yes."
"What official business?" Lu Qing asked.
Wei Zheng's expression was a little bad. He snorted and said,"It's not official business at all. He's just pleading for the Crown Prince. He hopes that this official will speak less about the Crown Prince in front of His Majesty.”
"But the Crown Prince has indeed been eccentric recently and has a bad character. I'm telling the truth. Not to mention, I'm doing this for the good of the Great Tang and the Crown Prince. If His Majesty knows about this, His Majesty will be able to make the Crown Prince correct his mistakes. Only then will the Crown Prince become better and better, and the future of the Great Tang become better and better!”
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered what Li Chengqian had said to Wei Zheng.
"Have you become enemies with the Crown Prince recently?" he asked.”
Wei Zheng said,"I'm just doing my job well. It's not considered a feud."”
Seeing Wei Zheng's completely selfless expression, Lu Qing sighed inwardly. He was doing this for the sake of his country and the Great Tang. He had no personal grudges.
Looking at how Li Chengqian wanted to kill Wei Zheng just now, how could this be called not having a feud?
Only Wei Zheng, the big troll, would think that this matter did not escalate to a personal grudge.
However, he did not know that in Li Chengqian's eyes, Wei Zheng was deliberately targeting him when he criticized Li Chengqian's shortcomings.
He wanted to make him lose his position as the Crown Prince.
So how could Li Chengqian not hate Wei Zheng?
Only Wei Zheng didn't know. Or perhaps Wei Zheng had too many enemies because of this and didn't care.
"And then? When did you leave?" Lu Qing asked again.
Wei Zheng said," I didn't stay for long. Qin Yi's words made me very angry. I reprimanded Qin Yi and left."”
"So, in the end, you guys had a conflict, right?”
Wei Zheng nodded gloomily.
Lu Qing and Han Min looked at each other.
Alright, he even had a motive to kill.
The timing matched, and he even had a motive to kill.
If Wei Zheng could escape, how awesome was he?
"When you went to Qin Manor, did you discover anyone else?" Lu Qing continued.”
"No, the servants of the Qin Clan seem to be resting. There's only Qin Yi.”
"Did you notice anything unusual when you left?”
"Not really."
Lu Qing nodded. He found a stool and sat down.
"Then let's talk about the Crown Prince's nanny. Why did she go there? You said that someone wrote to you. What was the content of the letter?”
Wei Zheng said," The content of the letter is to report to me with your real name. It says that an official has taken bribes and violated the law, committing all kinds of crimes. However, the person who wrote the letter is afraid of being retaliated, so he wants to meet with me."”
"This official is the Imperial Censorate's remonstrant doctor. This is this official's duty. Moreover, I have encountered such a thing before, so I didn't think too much about it and directly went to the Cheng Clan's restaurant.”
"But I didn't expect to lose consciousness the moment I entered that room.”
Lu Qing filled in the details of each segment in his mind.
"How did you lose consciousness?”
"I don't know. I just closed the door and there seemed to be some white smoke floating in front of me, then I lost consciousness.”
Lu Qing and Han Min looked at each other and said at the same time,"Bewitching Fragrance."
"It seems that the murderer has set up a trap and is waiting for you to fall into it.”Lu Qing said.
He could not help but look at Wei Zheng and say,"Lord Wei, you've been an official for so many years. Why don't you know how to be careful?"”
Wei Zheng's face turned red.”
Lu Qing secretly rolled his eyes. Who would have told you before?""Great troll Wei, I'm going to harm you. Are you ready?”
Lu Qing asked Wei Zheng a few more questions, which were basically the same as what Han Min and the others said.
The difference is not big.
Lu Qing stood up and looked at Wei Zheng's hair. He suddenly thought of something.
"Lord Wei, when you woke up, was the dead person's hair disheveled?”
Wei Zheng didn't understand what Lu Qing meant, but he still nodded.""That's right."
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.
"I already know the basic situation. Lord Wei, please suffer for a few more days. I will do my best to find the murderer.”
Wei Zheng struggled to stand up, then he endured the pain in his body and bowed to Lu Qing.""Thank you, Lord Lu."
Lu Qing quickly helped Wei Zheng up." Lord Wei, you don't have to be like this. I am the Deputy Minister of the Supreme Court. I should solve the case, find the real culprit, and clear the name of the wronged. This is what I should do. Regardless of whether the wronged person is Lord Wei or an ordinary person, I will do my best."”
Wei Zheng couldn't help but say," Although Lord Lu is young, he has a deep heart and a noble character. Few people in the world can compare to him. The Great Tang has Lord Lu as an official. It's the Great Tang's fortune and the people's fortune!”
Lu Qing smiled and didn't say anything.
After comforting Wei Zheng a few more words, he left the prison with Han Min.
As soon as they left the prison, Han Min could not help but ask,""Sir, how is it?"
" Yes." Lu Qing nodded lightly and said," There's an 80% chance that we know who the real murderer is."”
With a swoosh, Han Min's eyes widened."Really?"
F * ck!
So fast!
How long had it been?
His Majesty will give you three days.
In the end, you didn't even use it for six hours. Are you so disrespectful to His Majesty?
…………
PS: The case is about to be solved. There are many clues buried. There are some in every chapter. Moreover, the conflict between the protagonist and the prince, as well as the conflict between the prince and Wei Zheng, are all related to the case. To solve the case, there are all kinds of small clues. The author should not write useless plots and details, or else it will make everyone more confused.
The case is not easy to write, and the author has also combined history with the case, making it even more difficult. So I hope everyone can support me!
