"Royal Highness." At this moment, the person wearing the Six Fan School's constable uniform opened his mouth. "I know that Wei Shuo is your wife's brother. You have already done your duty by worrying about him. He has done something wrong, so he should take responsibility for it. Wei Shuo and his wife will not blame you. You don't have to …"
Hearing the constable's persuasion, Qi Qianche closed his eyes impatiently.
He opened his eyes and was about to speak when Wei Ziyao interrupted him.
"Constable Xing is right. If Wei Shuo really did such a thing, he should pay with his life."
As she spoke, she stepped forward.
The rest of them looked at each other, but the constable reacted quickly and quickly bowed to Wei Ziyao.
"Lord Wei."
Wangfei didn't have the right to ask about this matter. After all, it was her own family matter.
However, by calling her Lord Wei, he was giving her some face.
Although he was a medical officer, it was better than not being one.
"Constable Xing, can you tell me more about this matter?"
"No problem." The constable nodded and began to speak. "It happened this morning. Lord Wang's wife came to report a case, saying that Lord Wang was assassinated at home, and the person who killed Lord Wang was Wei Shuo. She saw it with her own eyes. Wei Shuo panicked and threw the machete in his hand to the ground, then hurriedly ran out of the Wang Residence."
The constable looked at Wei Ziyao's expression and didn't see any change, so he continued.
"Madam Wang said that Lord Wang usually sleeps in his own courtyard. If he wanted her or his concubines to accompany him, he would inform them in advance. Even if he called them over, he would send them back to his own courtyard after … cough … cough … he would never spend the night with them. Last night, the one who accompanied Lord Wang was Fourth Concubine. She heard that Fourth Concubine stayed until midnight and was jealous. She wanted to go over early in the morning to take a look. She didn't expect that Master's door wasn't closed. When she went in, she saw Wei Shuo holding a bloody scimitar, which scared her. When Wei Shuo saw her, he threw the scimitar on the ground and ran away."
So Madam had seen it.
The key was that even if Wei Shuo was in disguise, it wouldn't do. The coroner had already examined the wound, and it seemed like Wei Shuo had taken the knife.
"Also, last night, when Wei Shuo was drinking with someone in a restaurant, someone asked about the bet between Lord Wei and Lord Wang. He asked if Wei Shuo thought that Lord Wei was confident. Wei Shuo said … as long as it's something that Lord Wei wants to do, she can do it. No one can stop her!"
There was nothing wrong with Wei Shuo's words. However, it was easy for people to misinterpret them.
When she heard this, Wei Ziyao felt that her hand, which was hidden under her sleeve, was wrapped by a strong hand.
She glanced sideways and saw Ki Chien-chul's worried expression.
Wei Ziyao shook her head gently at him, telling him not to worry.
"Constable Xing, can I go to the prison to see Wei Shuo?"
"This …" The constable was clearly in a difficult position.
However, he looked at Ki Chien-chul and nodded.
"You can only go in for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. I won't say anything else. Lord Wei, you definitely understand."
"Don't worry," Wei Ziyao promised.
The constable brought Wei Ziyao to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
The prisoners here were usually felons. Between the cells, you couldn't see each other. It wasn't like a normal prison, where there were only wooden pillars.
This place was like an impenetrable fortress.
There were only two holes in the door and the place where the food was placed.
This kind of oppressive environment made people feel like they were suffocating.
"Lord Wei, Wei Shuo will be locked up here. Please make good use of the time."
After the constable said this, he opened the door and left.
Wei Ziyao entered the prison and saw a wretched person curled up in a corner. He was indeed injured and looked very pitiful.
