The servants of the Shen Mansion nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Ning Chen looked down at him, "What's your name?" "I'm Zhu Liu." "Okay, Zhu Liu, tell me everything you saw and heard that night!" "Yes!" Zhu Liu knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said stutteringly: "It was a night half a month ago, around midnight, I got up to go to the toilet and saw Lord Shen bringing the dancer into the room." Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Did Lord Shen find you at that time?" Zhu Liu shook his head, "No, if Lord Shen found out, I'm afraid I would be silenced." "How far were you from Lord Shen at that time?" "I was hiding behind a tree at that time, no more than a hundred steps away from Lord Shen." Ning Chen then asked: "Was there a moon in the sky at that time?"
Zhu Liu said: "Yes, the moon was very bright at that time." Just then, Nie Liang nodded to Ning Chen outside the palace. Ning Chen also nodded and said, "Zhu Liu, get up!" Zhu Liu got up trembling. "Back off!" Zhu Liu took a few steps back. "Back off again." Zhu Liu took more than twenty steps back. "Turn around and look outside the palace door." When Zhu Liu turned around, Ning Chen shouted to the outside of the store, "Commander Nie, it's done!" At this time, Nie Liang walked slowly outside the palace, holding a woman's hand. "Zhu Liu, is this what you saw that night?" Zhu Liu nodded, "Yes, that's right!" "Commander Nie, do it again!" Nie Liang walked again! Ning Chen looked at Zhu Liu, "Did you see it clearly?" Zhu Liu nodded. Ning Chen shouted to the outside of the store, "Commander Nie, bring them in." Nie Liang walked in with four palace maids.
"Zhu Liu, tell me, which woman was the one who just walked past the store with Commander Nie?" Zhu Liu pointed at the maid in pink palace dress, "My lord, it's her!" "Are you sure?" "I'm sure!" Zhu Liu said it confidently, because the other three were all wearing green palace dresses. Ning Chen glanced at Nie Liang. Nie Liang left and walked in with another person in pink palace dress. The man knelt down and said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Everyone was shocked. Why is it a eunuch? Ning Chen's face darkened, "Zhu Liu, what you saw just now was not any of the four people... What you saw was this eunuch pretending to be a palace maid." "In broad daylight, you couldn't see clearly twice, and couldn't even tell the difference between men and women... At midnight, even if there was a moon, the sight would not be as good as it is now, right?" "Half a month later, when you identified the body, you insisted that the dead dancer was the one that Lord Shen brought home that night. Besides, the difference between a living person and a dead person is huge... Tell me, who told you to lie?" "As a family servant, you framed your master, and Lord Shen is a senior official of the court, you should be executed by slow slicing." "You traitor, you might as well confess the truth, who told you to frame Lord Shen?" Zhu Liu was so scared that he fell to his knees and trembled like a sieve, "Villain, villain...!" Before Zhu Liu finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground and fainted from fear. Ning Chen snorted coldly and looked at Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, this despicable villain who sells out his master for fame, his words are simply not credible." Emperor Xuan nodded slightly. "Nie Liang, send him to Geng Jing of the Supervisory Department... for strict interrogation. If you really want to know who is behind the scenes?" "Minister, obey your order!" Just then, an official stepped out and said, "Your Highness, whether the assassin last night was related to Shen Min or not, he is guilty of this matter. I think Your Highness seems to be particularly concerned about Shen Min?" Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "What do you want to say?" "Shen Min is a talent and has made great contributions to the peace talks between Daxuan and Wuguo. Moreover, he is the Minister of Rites, and he is fully responsible for the marriage between the prince and the princess." "Shen Min was arrested, and the prince's marriage has to be postponed again!" "In public, the prince does not want to see a loyal minister die unjustly. In private, the prince wants to marry the princess as soon as possible." "So, it is reasonable for the prince to say a few words for Shen Min, right?" The latter was blocked by Ning Chen's words and blushed, not knowing how to refute? The Emperor Xuan's eyes flickered.
Ning Chen's words reminded him. Shen Min was arrested, and Ning Chen and Huaian's wedding had to be postponed again. Is there anyone who wants to obstruct Ning Chen and Huaian's wedding? The wedding of these two children has been delayed again and again. It can't be delayed any longer. He has suffered many disasters this year, and Ning Chen and Huaian's marriage is just the right time to cheer him up. "Where is Feng Gaojie?" A tall and thin official stepped out and knelt down: "I'm here!" "All matters concerning Ning Chen and Huaian's wedding will be handled by you... I will give you ten days to set a date for Ning Chen and Huaian to get married." Feng Gaojie looked happy, "I obey your order!" Feng Gaojie is the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now Shen Min is in prison. If this matter is handled well, then Shen Min's position will be his. Ning Chen frowned. From the banquet assassination to Shen Min's arrest, he knew that all this was aimed at him. Someone is clipping his wings. Shen Min is the first one. Moreover, the other party has succeeded. Even if Shen Min could get out of the prison alive this time, there would be no place for him in the capital. I am afraid that his marriage with the Ninth Princess will not go smoothly. He is already powerful. If he marries the Ninth Princess, he will be a member of the royal family. Sixth Prince, did you do all this? Ning Chen thought. No matter who it is? Anyone who dares to touch him will have to pay the price...even the crown prince. ...... After the court was dismissed. Ning Chen was walking out. Li Zhixing hurriedly walked past him. "Meet the prince!" Li Zhixing bowed and turned away. Ning Chen smiled bitterly.
Li Hanru followed and looked at Li Zhixing's back, "It seems that Lord Li is angry!" Ning Chen shrugged helplessly, "I didn't give Lord Li any face in the court just now, so it's normal for him to be angry." He exposed Zhu Liu in the court. Li Zhixing, as the chief judge, didn't expect this, which was quite embarrassing. Li Hanru smiled and said, "It seems that the prince needs to be coaxed. Seeing Lord Li like this, he should be easy to coax." If Li Zhixing was really angry, he would not have this attitude, and he would not let Ning Chen see it. Ning Chen laughed, "He is so old, but still so childish! They say that old children are not wrong at all." Ning Chen's face suddenly became serious, "Lord Li, be careful these days... Lord Shen is the first one." Li Hanru nodded slightly, "I understand, the prince must be more careful, this is aimed at you." Ning Chen nodded, "I'd better go and coax Lord Li first." Ning Chen waved his hand, and a palace guard led Diao Chan over. Ning Chen jumped on the horse and caught up with the angry Li Zhixing. "Lord Li, do you want to ride with me?" Li Zhixing looked back and snorted proudly, "How dare I ride with the prince?"
