Chapter 089: Death of Zhang Yirong (Second Shift) (2 / 2)

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and said, “Second sister, I was indeed not at the table at that hour, I just walked away for a while and then came back, so how could I run into sister Yi Rong?”

“Since that time, all the people are on the table, and only Miss Mu left the table, this is inevitably too much of a coincidence.” CuiYunRan at this moment once again export, the crowd is staring at MuZiYan look, seems to this is recognized that she is an accomplice.

Mu Zi Yan did not have the slightest panic, and then said, “Lady Lv just said, Yi Rong sister before she died, but with someone to make love, since it is necessary to find a hidden place, I just casually walk, can not really run into if I really bumped into their good things, how can I now stand here in one piece that person has a martial arts, I’m a weak woman with no power. I’m just a weak girl.”

Cui Yunran said in a low voice, “You and Miss Zhang have never gotten along, and when Miss Zhang had her accident, you happened to leave the table, isn’t this suspicious”

Mu Zi Yan saw that Cui Yun Ran always grasped the key point, that is, she was indeed not present at the time of Zhang Yirong’s death, therefore, even if she is not the real culprit, but she can not get out of it.

The crowd pondered and hastily agreed, “Second Miss Cui is extremely right.”

Zhang Zong see now the crowd will be all the spearheads pointed at Mu Zi Yan, he looked at Mu Zi Yan, see her expression calm, did not have any fear and panic, he knows Mu Zi Yan will not do this kind of thing, if she really want to kill, will not do so deliberately, or stupid.

Qi Xuan was about to go up to defend himself, but he saw Mu Zi Yan handing him a look, and he then also stood still and remained silent.

The emperor saw everyone’s mouth was full of gold, his face sank, “Miss Mu, how do you explain this matter”

Mu Zi Yan then bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty, although my daughter has always been at odds with Cousin Yi Rong, but will not store the heart of murder, and this is the big day, my daughter even if no brain, but also will not do this kind of blind thing, not to mention, but also leave a handle to.”

Mu Zi Yan said lightly, this sounds like a defense, in fact, it is in the dark irony of these uproar are blind, and so on the crowd reacted, Mu Zi Yan but continued to argue, “Even if the courtesan daughter has the motive to kill, then, but also to find the murderer, the murderer will be who at that time, leave the table can be more than the courtesan daughter alone.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and coldly swept over the complexion of the crowd, remembering the footsteps she heard when she came back from the trail, then she dropped her gaze on Leng Hanfeng.

When Leng Hanfeng saw Mu Zi Yan looking at himself, his heart inexplicably burst with joy, but on his face there was no trace of joy, and he frankly let her look at him.

She already had a plan in mind, and then said, “Since Yi Rong’s sister was secretly in communication with someone, this person must be among you all, can you remember who left the table at that time?”

Zhang Zong saw Mu Zi Yan picking the words apart, and hurriedly answered, “Your Majesty, this matter concerns the dignity of the royal family, someone dared to commit murder this night, and also purposely hung Miss Zhang’s corpse at the Plum Garden, it’s really an ulterior motive, and I ask Your Majesty to grant me permission to cross-examine them one by one.”

When the emperor heard Zhang Zong say so, his eyes sank coldly and his face condensed, “With me here, whoever dares to say one more word will be a murderer and be executed immediately.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong hurriedly answered, then raised his eyes and dropped his gaze on Cui Yunran’s body.

Cui Yun Ran, however, without fear of color, the body frankly meet, and then turned his eyes meaningfully to look at Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan saw that Cui Yun Ran was fighting with her tonight, knowing that, she and Mu Zi Jing had a very good relationship, and Cui was extremely good to her, so she must be, she is taking revenge for the dead Cui and Mu Zi Jing who is locked up in the family temple.

Mu Ling Xuan turned to look at Mu Ling Rui beside him, seemed to think of something, his eyes sank, at this time, but he still had to take into account the face of the Mu Marquis, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan understood the meaning of Mu Ling Xuan’s eyes, she raised her eyes and stared at Mu Ling Rui for a long time, and then turned her eyes to look at the old madam on the side, and then to look at the County Lord Ming An, who had been unusually quiet since the beginning, not far away.

And County Lord Ming An saw that someone was looking at her at the moment, she met the light of that eye, and when she saw who it was, the corner of her mouth hooked up with a smile of unknown significance.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly before she retracted her gaze, it seemed that she had overlooked something.

Niang Lu turned around and re-examined it again, and then found a clue at the edge of Zhang Yirong’s skirt.

“What is this,” Niangzi Lu placed a white orb-like object on the hem of that skirt in her palm while looking at Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong looked carefully, but saw the palace maid standing behind him step forward, “This is a worm that grows on the lotus leaves by the lotus pond, and is only found in these days.”

“Lotus Pond,” Zhang Zong first stared blankly before leading the people to the Lotus Pond.

At this moment, the eyes of the crowd once again fell on Mu Zi Yan’s body.

Cui Yunran laughed coldly, “The strange things this night all seem to be related to Miss Mu, that lotus pool falling into the water, Miss Mu also seems to be present ah.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, not only was she present, she was also a participant.

At this time, Su Qinruo couldn’t help herself and tilted her head back to look angrily at Cui Yunran, “Cui Yunran, I was also present at that time, do you think that I’m also suspected”

“That’s right, I was there too.” Hou Yi Yi followed suit and chimed in.

Cui Yun Ran looked at the two of them, “When it is really the wind of the world, the two of you are not with Miss Mu do not deal with it how come this day but this is so good Miss Mu this pulling together the means of people is really excellent.”

This insinuating words, aroused the suspicion of the crowd, people ah, once involved in their own interests, they always want to set themselves aside, naturally, will follow a sentence and can extend a lot of what they think the truth to.

Could it be that that lotus pond losing her footing and falling into the water is this Miss Mu’s bitter trick in order to gather people’s hearts and minds?

Hou Yi Yi and Su Qin Rou of course know the truth of the matter, now listen to Cui Yun Ran so say, Su Qin Rou angry to open, “You do not want to bullshit, sister Mu is what kind of person, everyone knows, but I do not know, you Cui second miss how to bite the sister Mu do not let go, I can remember this day into the palace, you and the chapter of the Miss also had a verbal altercation it. “

Su Qinrou hummed contemptuously, “Second Miss Cui, in that case, you are also suspected of murder.”

“You,” Cui Yunran glared angrily at Su Qinruo, then laughed coldly, “I’m just discussing the matter as it is.”

“Your Majesty, Sister Su has a straight heart, I hope that Your Majesty will not blame her.” Mu Zi Yan turned around to see the Emperor’s face getting colder and colder, she hurriedly saluted and said.

Once Su Qinru heard this, she also knelt down, “Your Majesty, subject daughter”

“Truly a lady of the family.” The emperor coldly opened his mouth, the warning between those words was thick.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Cui and Marquis Su hastily knelt down, “It’s no harm for me to teach my daughter.”

This time the crowd also rushed to their knees, not daring to make a sound.

“Alright, all level off.” The emperor said in a deep voice, this night’s matter must be investigated, otherwise, if this matter was greatly exaggerated, it would be extremely unfavorable to the twelfth prince.

Mu Zi Yan got up with the crowd and saw Zhang Zong and Niangzi Lu rushing back.

Niangzi Lu also bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty, next to that lotus pond is the scene of the murder that killed Miss Zhang.”

“Can there be any discovery,” the Emperor said in a deep voice.

“Found this.” Lady Lu presented a token in her hand.

Eunuch Ming stepped forward to receive it, and after carefully recognizing it, he said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, this is the Imperial Forestry Army’s token.”

“Imperial Guards,” the Emperor’s eyes went cold, and then said, “Bring the people up.”

“Yes.” Eunuch Ming took the token and went forward to get the person.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Niangzi Lu, thinking how could there be a token next to that lotus pond this is too obvious, she then looked over the crowd’s expressions again, and finally landed her gaze on County Lord Ming An and Mu Ling Rui’s body.

She had a bad feeling that she was afraid that she had nothing to do with this matter.

As expected, not long after, Eunuch Ming brought the man over, “Your Majesty, he was just about to escape from the palace.”

“Don’t tell me the truth yet,” the emperor snapped.

The person kneeling on the ground had a disheveled look on his face, hanging his head and not daring to look up, but he didn’t say a word.

The Emperor was furious, and then angrily shouted, “Speak.”

“Back to Your Majesty, humble servant” That person was shocked by the emperor’s aura, his arms trembled, but he raised his eyes but landed his gaze on Mu Zi Yan’s body.

Mu Zi Yan’s heart was clear, it was really like that, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and frankly met that person’s gaze.

The man hastily withdrew his eyes while remaining silent again.

The emperor has seen Mu Zi Yan and the person kneeling on the ground pass the eyes, he immediately turned his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “This person you can recognize.”

“Back to the emperor, my daughter does not recognize.” Mu Zi Yan calmly replied back, without any trace of panic or weakness.

“Do you recognize her” the Emperor turned to the kneeling man.

“Your Majesty, Miss Zhang was killed by my humble servant and has nothing to do with Miss Mu.” The man then said, but this statement was undoubtedly the ground is silverless.

This is not clearing up the concern, it is clearly telling the crowd that Zhang Yirong’s death is the work of Mu Zi Yan.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth hooked up into a faint smile as she looked straight at the kneeling man, “You’re right, it does have nothing to do with me.”

The emperor saw Mu Zi Yan to this time, also did not have the slightest panic, his eyes slightly narrowed, but only ten years old, actually can do this kind of crisis not chaotic, but is a not simple.

Concubine Yun also sized up Mu Zi Yan and turned her eyes to the person kneeling on the ground, “Why did you kill Miss Zhang”

“My humble servant has nothing to say.” The man looked like he was going to his death.

Qi Xuan saw that Mu Zi Yan was still so calm at this time, but he was anxious.

Turning his eyes to look at Mu Lingxuan, the two of them looked at each other and were about to go up together to defend themselves, but Mu Zi Yan grabbed the first to say, “Your Majesty, since he has nothing to say, can you allow my daughter to say a few words”

The emperor looked at Mu Zi Yan and nodded slightly, “Do you really have nothing to say”

“Miss Mu.” The man raised his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, his eyes flashing with hard-to-love feelings.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “If you really have nothing to say, why did you admit to killing Miss Zhang”

“Miss Mu, humble servant indeed has nothing to say.” As if he had gotten a hint, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and plunged it into his chest.

Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she snatched a step ahead of him and stood in front of him, snatching the dagger with her chopping hand, “You’re so dead, nothing more than trying to drag me down.”

“Ms. Mu, how would I dare” the man gazed at her with deep affection, “even if I were to break my bones, I would never dare to hurt Ms. Mu in the slightest.”

The crowd, however, heard a different flavor.

Cui Yunran whispered, “What a show of deep love.”

Mu Zi Yan’s sideways glance sidelong at Cui Yun Ran, the corner of her mouth hooked up evil smile, wrist movement, the dagger in her hand is straight towards Cui Yun Ran, Cui Yun Ran is really unexpected, not yet reacted to, will see that the dagger to her half-open mouth stabbed over.

Luckily, the maid on the side was quick to pull her over, but the dagger clattered to the ground when it was in front of her.

Mu Zi Yan sighed sadly, “The force is too small.”

Cui Yunran stared at the dagger that landed at her feet, stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she angrily stared at Mu Ziyan and coldly snorted, “Miss Mu this is annoyed is not it”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Second Miss Cui is a bit too noisy.”

Cui Yunran opened her eyes angrily, but she was choked, Marquis Cui dryly coughed a few times from the side before she unwillingly twisted her head.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the person kneeling on the ground, “If you don’t say it, then I’ll say it.”

She stared at the person in front of her, and then took the token from Eunuch Ming’s hand, “Wang Xian, you so want to talk about it, is only to let all of you think that you have a personal relationship with me think your body must still have my tokens with you what is it silk handkerchiefs jade pendant incense bag or the side of the”

The man was visibly stunned, then whispered, “Miss Mu, humble servant will not say anything.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “That’s good, let’s not talk about how I met you, let’s talk about this night’s matter, Yi Rong sister and I have never been on speaking terms with each other, in the middle of the banquet I suddenly left the table, I think I had made an appointment with you to meet in private, and after that I went there secretly, you and I were in the middle of our love affair when we were in the middle of our love affair, but coincidentally Yi Rong sister, who was secretly trailing behind me, happened to bump into us, and I was worried that things were revealed, so I ordered you to have the I was worried that things would get out of hand, so I ordered you to kill Yirong’s sister, but that’s just it.”

“Ms. Mu, how are you,” the man looked at her with raised eyes in pain.

Mu Zi Yan lowly laughed, “I let you kill people, but you will destroy Yirong sister’s innocence, and then also strangled her to death after hanging on the tree branch of the plum garden, this love you have for me, really is as deep as the sea ah”

“Pfft” Su Qinru finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud, raising her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan with a face of adoration.

The corners of Qi Xuan and Mu Lingxuan’s mouths hooked up into a faint light smile, and their eyes were all doting.

Qi Xue’er and Qi Yu’er just now also scared pale, was thinking of going to defend Mu Zi Yan, but was stopped by his brother, the heart is anxious, and now listening to Mu Zi Yan’s analysis, which immediately followed to put down the heart.

Mu Zi Yan’s words, which can be described as profoundly emotional and phrased in such a way that people can’t help but be amused, so lightly cleared the suspicion, but she does not intend to stop there.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the man, “If you are so deeply in love with me, then why did you do that beastly thing to sister Yi Rong”

“This humble servant humble servant,” the man was instantly gagged and speechless.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Eunuch Ming, “Can I ask Eunuch Ming to search my body”

Eunuch Ming turned his eyes to look at the emperor, see the emperor drooped eyes, he then ordered the kneeling Wang Xian up and down search once, really found in the cuffs of an incense packet.

Mu Zi Yan looked at the bag of incense is very familiar, raised his hand to receive, turned his eyes to look at the back of the Yunxiang, “My goods have always been managed by you, this bag of incense you can recognize”

“Eldest Miss, this scented bag is not yours.” Yunxiang whispered, “Yes it is the slave girl’s.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, “How did this incense packet end up on his body?”

“Slave girl doesn’t know, this is slave girl doesn’t like to lose it.” Yunxiang said with downcast eyes.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly and turned her eyes to look at the man, “I have a personal relationship with you, and I will not be stingy with you, and how can I send you a scented sachet for a maid”

This word out, undoubtedly in the face of the people who hit her, she even if she has to be with people secretly, as a great lady of the Marquis of Mu, to send her lover’s things that are also stylish, how would send a girl do not like the scented bags it

“What proves that this scented bag is yours” Cui Yunran spoke once more.

“The top of the slave girl’s incense bag will all have the word rue embroidered on the inner closing.” Yun Xiang pondered in her heart, how could her scented bag appear in the palace the person who could get the scented bag must be someone from the Marquis Mu’s residence, so who could it be she secretly chagrined that it was her own carelessness that had harmed the eldest young lady.

Yunxiang said and then lifted the inner layer of the bag of incense, and sure enough, embroidered on it was a very small “Yun” character.

Cui Yun Ran was speechless now, Su Qin Rou tilted her head and gave a cold snort, and then looked towards the kneeling Wang Xian, “I’ve come to take a look at Sister Mu’s lover boy.”

Mu Zi Yan saw that Su Qin Rou was coming to help, she was happy to do so, and then she stepped aside to allow Su Qin Rou to come up and take a look.

“Looks well, barely able to see, sister Mu, you this vision is also really unique, if you favor such, I do have a person to send you.” Su Qinrou came forward and said with a smile.

“Tell me about it.” Mu Zi Yan, however, did not care and asked with seeming interest.
