Chapter 157 She is the prince's person(1/2)
In Tingwei's mansion, Yan Song's face looked ugly at this moment.
According to Qin law, if someone really kills someone on the street, he should be sentenced to death.
What's more, the person who died was Mr. Wang Wan's grandson.
However, what he didn't expect was that this Lu Pheasant turned out to be from His Highness the Crown Prince.
At this moment, Qinglong, the commander of Jinyiwei, came to ask for someone in person.
This made Yan Song suddenly embarrassed.
Neither His Royal Highness nor Wang Wan could be offended by Yan Song.
If this matter is not handled well, his position as a court lieutenant will probably come to an end.
"Lord Tingwei, according to Qin law, what should happen to a murderer?"
In Tingwei's mansion, Wang Tengcang asked coldly.
"Of course the murderer must pay with his life!"
Yan Song replied expressionlessly.
"Then what are you waiting for, Lord Tingwei? Why don't you quickly execute the evil woman who killed my son?"
Execution? Yan Song shook his head helplessly.
Do you think Ben Tingwei is a fool?
What if I execute the eldest lady of the Lu family and His Highness the Crown Prince gets mad?
Offending Wang Wan would mean losing his official position at most.
But if he offended the prince, it was unclear whether his life could be saved.
Thinking of this, Yan Song spoke directly:
"Prefect Wang, there are still many doubtful points in this case that have not been clarified."
"I haven't found out. I remember that this is not what Mr. Tingwei said just now!"
Wang Tengcang stared at Yan Song with a gloomy expression.
He knew that Yan Song's change of attitude was related to the prince.
But Wang Tengcang didn't care.
Killing for life is an iron law in the Qin Dynasty, so what if he is the prince?
"Lord Tingwei, as far as I know, it was the Wang Cai who teased him first, and Lu Pheasant pushed him to the ground out of self-protection."
"I just didn't expect that this king's luck would be so bad. The back of his head hit a stone, which led to his death."
Wang Tengcang was furious when he heard this:
"Qinglong, don't confuse right and wrong."
"Sir Ting Wei, no matter what the reason is, it is an indisputable fact that the evil woman killed my son. Please make the decision, Sir Ting Wei."
When Yan Song heard this, he immediately became embarrassed:
"There are many doubts about this case. How about waiting for the investigation to be clear before trying it again?"
Yan Song was also helpless, thinking that he, one of the nine dignitaries, would be so humble in his own territory.
"The evil woman killed someone in the street, and countless people saw it with their own eyes. Could it be that Mr. Tingwei wanted to protect her?"
"Or does Lord Tingwei think that the Wang family is easy to bully?"
"this..."
Yan Song was speechless and was about to explain.
A loud shout suddenly sounded.
"His Royal Highness said!"
After hearing this, several people immediately looked outside Tingwei's mansion.
I saw Ying Yu slowly coming with Zang Ta.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ying Yu nodded: "You don't need to be polite!"
At this time, Yan Song's face looked as ugly as possible.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
"If you have nothing to do, just go around. Mr. Tingwei, continue, continue!"
Ying Yu glanced at Wang Tengcang and replied calmly.
"this..."
Yan Song was speechless. Did he come to Tingwei Mansion to just take a look around?
Are you treating me like a fool?
"Why are you looking at me? You continue, just pretend that I don't exist."
"This...I don't dare!"
Yan Song quickly bowed respectfully.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not exist, isn't it too long to live?
"I said, Yan Song, this is Tingwei's Mansion, and you are Tingwei.
This is your territory, clear your place!"
Yan Song was stunned for a moment, then quickly spoke:
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince said so."
Yan Song returned to his seat and sat down after hesitating.
But I don't know how to speak.
"Your Highness, I heard that the Lu family sisters are yours?"
Just when everyone didn't know how to speak, Wang Tengcang spoke directly.
"Who are you?"
"Wei Chen, the governor of West County, Wang Tengcang."
"Why did the Sheriff of West County come to Xianyang?"
Wang Tengcang's face changed slightly when he heard this:
"I heard that Changsha and Lujiang counties were affected by the disaster. The nobles and gentry in our four counties donated a lot of money. I personally transported it. I happened to pass through Xianyang, so I came back to see my old father."
"Governor Wang actually delivered the disaster relief supplies himself. He is really a model of dedication to his duties."
"Your Highness, the Prince, has come just in time. This Lu Pheasant killed the child in the street. Please ask Your Highness, the Prince, to uphold justice."
When Ying Yu heard this, he smiled calmly:
"Chief Wang, you have found the wrong person. This matter of murder is not my business. You should ask Mr. Tingwei."
Yan Song on the side was already feeling uneasy.
He never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would come in person.
"Your Highness, there are many doubts about the murder of the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and I have not yet investigated it clearly."
Wang Tengcang snorted coldly:
"So many people have seen it with their own eyes, how can they have any doubts?"
"Since the people saw it with their own eyes, let's call the people who saw what happened and ask questions."
Ying Yu said lightly, and then looked at Yan Song:
"Lord Tingwei, what do you think?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, I will send someone to take care of it now."
Yan Song responded quickly, and then left the prison to lead people to look for the so-called witness.
I have to say that the efficiency of Tingwei Mansion is quite fast.
It only took a moment to find more than a dozen witnesses.
"Sir, the common people don't know the specific situation very well. They only saw the woman pushing a man in brocade clothes to the ground, and then someone shouted, "Kill."
"The two quarreled for unknown reasons, and the man who was arguing with the woman was pushed down and hit a big rock, bleeding all over the floor.
I don’t know whether the woman did it intentionally or unintentionally.”
"Several adults, the little ones know almost as much as they do."
After listening to the confessions of several people, Ying Yu's expression changed slightly.
