After rebirth, she married the prince of the enemy country

Chapter 709 Physical Evidence
"Caomin is from Xiaoqiao Village on the outskirts of Beijing. This ashes is, is, my only granddaughter. She lost her parents when she was young, and I brought her up alone."

"Our family grows a lot of crops. My granddaughter often brings peanuts and corn corn to the city to buy them to subsidize the family. But one day, she didn't come back until night."

"I was worried, but I couldn't see well at night, so I begged my neighbor to accompany me to the city to find my granddaughter the next day. Who would have thought..."

Probably remembering the bitter things at that time, the old woman cried for a few days, and then held back for a long time, and continued, "Who would have thought that she would be murdered!"

The old woman's voice was sobbing and sobbing, which was uncomfortable to hear.

Although Emperor Zhao tried his best to distinguish, there were still some unclear points.

Seeing this, Sun Mu took the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty, she has gone to the government office to sue her before, and after the appraisal by Wu, the woman had been insulted before she was alive, so she jumped into the river and committed suicide in shame."

"Are there any witnesses to the suicide?"

"Have."

Emperor Zhao's eyes were slightly deep, "Then how could it have anything to do with Cheng'er?"

"After the woman's body was salvaged, a jade pendant was found on her body." Sun Mu opened the box and presented it to Emperor Zhao.

The corners of Emperor Zhao's mouth drooped instantly.

This jade pendant has no name or characters, but it was given to Ling Cheng himself when he was young. It is a tribute from a foreign country, the craftsmanship is difficult to imitate, and there is almost no possibility of a fake.

Emperor Zhao's voice was cold, "How many years ago did this happen?"

"three years ago."

Sun Mu explained, "Someone recognized the jade pendant when the case was settled, so...after some operations, the matter was suppressed. The old lady had no way to ask for help until someone from the same village who was shortlisted in Chunwei this year came to me. After this matter, I will intervene."

He explained everything in the future and just waited for Emperor Zhao to speak.

But Emperor Zhao was silent for a long time, pointed at the jade pendant in the box, and looked at Ling Cheng, "Do you have anything to explain?"

When Sun Mu opened the box, Ling Cheng was wondering what it was, and when the jade pendant appeared in front of him, his mind exploded with a "boom".

When the jade pendant was lost back then, he searched for it for a long time, but he never expected that it would be ripped away in a panic.

"Father, I didn't do it. This jade pendant of my son has long been lost. I don't know who picked it up. It is absolutely impossible for my son to do such a thing!"

He directly denied it completely, without giving the other party a chance.

Since the jade pendant has been lost, it is not unusual for it to appear in anyone's hands, and naturally it cannot be attributed to him.

Seeing this, Sun Mu said again, "Can the Seventh Prince answer a question for me?"

"Master Sun, please tell me."

"Are the Seventh Prince familiar with the young master of the Wei family and the eldest son of the Zhang family?"

Ling Cheng: "We have talked and played together, but the relationship is not close."

"Okay, then I would like to ask the Seventh Prince, three years ago, on the fifth day of September, did you drink with the two of them?"

Ling Cheng frowned, "Of course I can't remember such a long time ago."

Not to mention three years ago, even three months ago, no one would remember, right?

But Sun Mu smiled, "The Seventh Prince doesn't remember, but the two of them do. The Master, of course, also remembers."

It was a coincidence that the place where they went to drink at the beginning happened to be Fangliu Garden.

Fangliuyuan's wines are all self-brewed, and the quantity is limited, so every time the news is released, it is fully booked.

Coincidentally, on the fifth day of September three years ago, the three of them went to Fangliu Garden to fetch wine, which was recorded in the account book.
