It was also that private advisor who had been glaring at him in court and hinting for him to testify against his uncle.
He knew that private advisor's identity was not simple. In addition, he wanted to live, so he followed the private advisor's instructions.
Prince Xian's face darkened when he heard Zhang Feng's accusation. He immediately ordered, "Men, quickly arrest Zhang Xi and bring him in for interrogation!"
Soon, the yamen runners brought private advisor Zhang Xi into court.
Prince Xian was furious when he saw that Zhang Xi was brought to court. "Private advisor, Zhang Feng accused you of using his family to threaten him and have him frame Zhang Qing for Yu 'er's death. Is that true?"
Zhang Xi calmly raised his eyes, his expression dark. "Your Highness, there is no such thing. This humble one doesn't know why he is framing me, but this humble one did not threaten him."
"Nonsense. When I was brought to prison that day, you came to see me as soon as you could. When you came to see me, you threatened me and told me to listen to you and testify against my uncle, "Zhang Feng said.
Zhang Xi snorted. "I didn't go to see you. I just followed the procedure to understand the case."
"You, you said it yourself. How dare you deny it? You are so shameless!" Zhang Feng scolded angrily.
Prince Xian said, "Men, summon the coroner."
Soon, the coroner was summoned in.
Prince Xian saw him enter and asked, "Coroner, regarding Yu 'er's case, repeat the testimony you gave to Wang."
The coroner timidly looked at Zhang Xi and said, "Your Highness, this humble one was in charge of looking after Yu 'er's body. However, private advisor urged this humble one many times to give him Yu 'er's body so that he could bury or burn it. This humble one felt that this was a serious matter and the case was not solved, so I did not agree. "
Zhang Xi's face was full of sarcasm when he heard this. "Your Highness, what can this kind of testimony prove? A normal corpse needs to be buried in three to seven days. Yu 'er's body is already rotten. Shouldn't it be buried? Her death was extremely tragic. In order to prevent her from turning into a malicious spirit and wreaking havoc, this one wishes to burn her body. Is there a problem with that? "
Prince Xian's gaze was deep as he said in a low voice, "Grand Master, the real murderer hasn't been brought to justice yet. We can't burn the body in advance. We have to keep it for further examination."
"Oh? Is that so? Then this time, it was indeed my negligence. Fortunately, the corpse was not burned, so it did not cause a big mistake. Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I will know in the future. "Zhang Xi said coldly.
There was a faint smile in his eyes, which looked a little scary. His gaze was also very arrogant. It was obvious that someone was protecting him, so he was not afraid of trouble.
Now that he said that, Prince Xian couldn't reprimand him. After all, there was no real evidence.
Moreover, the private advisor was one of Su Ming's men. This time, Su Ming and Chu Xuanchen were two tigers fighting. He should sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Why should he get involved in this mess?
However, if someone was really wrongly accused, and the evidence was conclusive, he would definitely deal with it impartially. He would definitely not show favoritism.
If it was in the past, he would definitely use this opportunity to defeat Chu Xuanchen. However, ever since he met Xiao Yue, his mentality had changed.
He would rather fight with Chu Xuanchen in an open and aboveboard manner than play such petty tricks.
After Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen looked at each other, they coldly stared at the private advisor. There was definitely something wrong with this private advisor.
However, he was very shrewd. He was only talking and didn't leave behind any concrete evidence. They couldn't do anything to him right now.
After that, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue left the court.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the court, Yun Ruoyue looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "Your Highness, as an assassin, Yunxiang shouldn't have any enmity with Yu 'er. She shouldn't have gone to kill Yu 'er for no reason. What do you think her motive was? "
