Chapter 443 Overturning the verdict
However, what she probably didn't know was that Su Xiaoxiao was still young, so naturally she slept a lot.
However, Su Xiaoxiao did not extinguish the oil lamp while keeping watch, which shows that she successfully kept watch. Therefore, Granny Wang could not blame Su Xiaoxiao, especially since they were from the same hometown.
Granny Wang was just lecturing Su Xiaoxiao, but she was really just putting on a show for others.
Su Xiaoxiao followed those people over, and with great courage, she finally saw the moment the coffin lid was opened. The person who appeared in front of her was indeed the woman in white she had seen last night.
However, her wounds had been completely treated and she had been dressed in new clothes, so there was no sign of anything unusual from her appearance. Her face was as pale as paper, just like the woman Su Xiaoxiao had seen last night. Wasn't this woman the female ghost she had seen last night? The face was exactly the same. She must have seen her right last night. It must be that the ghost of this young lady was unwilling to accept her fate and came out to tell Su Xiaoxiao about her grievances.
The main reason was that she felt she must have died unjustly, which is why she wanted to focus on the real culprit. Su Xiaoxiao also knew that what she saw last night might not actually be the ghost of that person. Perhaps the deceased young lady felt that her case should not implicate innocent people.
It's probably because it felt wronged that it was reluctant to leave, and its spirit came out and gave Su Xiaoxiao a dream.
It seems that Qian Musheng is definitely innocent in this case. The person involved has come out to protest his innocence. Su Xiaoxiao regrets that it would be great if there were surveillance cameras above our heads these days, so that we could see what criminals look like through the "Sky Eye".
Several days have passed now, what can she do? See if she can find some eyewitnesses from that day to prove that Qian Musheng was indeed drugged and rendered unconscious, becoming a tool for others to commit crimes.
Therefore, it seems she still needs to find eyewitnesses to prove her case.
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao was ordered to watch the coffin with Granny Wang. The two of them kept watch together. They chatted for the first half of the night, but Granny Wang fell asleep on the prayer mat in the middle of the night.
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "This old lady said I get sleepy so easily, but isn't she the same?"
Seeing that no one was around, Su Xiaoxiao walked to the coffin. Judging by the time, it was around the same time yesterday. Now less tense, Su Xiaoxiao addressed the coffin, saying, "Miss, you asked me yesterday to overturn the case for you, but you didn't tell me what the murderer looked like. Could you tell me more specifically? Do you know the murderer? Why did he come in and kill you on your wedding night?"
But the young lady in front of him remained motionless and did not react at all. At this time, the three oil lamps on the table were still shining normally, and unlike last night, they were not flickering. They looked different.
Everything was perfectly normal. It seemed that Su Xiaoxiao really wouldn't be able to encounter the ghost of the young lady appearing in her dreams again this time, which was why she felt so helpless.
The night passed peacefully, and Su Xiaoxiao would never again encounter the ghost of the young lady appearing in her dreams. She could only rely on herself to find clues.
Fortunately, she didn't run into Prince Gong these past few days, so she wouldn't be exposed. She found a time when no one was paying attention to her and sneaked out to return to Qian Musheng's residence.
The little table and stool were still searching for Su Xiaoxiao, who said she had gone out to investigate a case. She told the two of them everything that had happened at Prince Gong's Mansion, and they were also questioning the case. They didn't expect to receive such news, which might be true.
Little Table said, "Our young master Qian is never the type to let drinking cause trouble." Little Stool chimed in, "Indeed!"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "I think he's probably like this because he was drugged."
The two of them thought at the same time that it was indeed possible. "In that case, the murderer must have come prepared. He planned all of this to frame Qian Musheng."
"Has Young Master Qian offended anyone recently?"
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao asked, Xiao Zhuo immediately thought of it. It was true that Qian Musheng had offended quite a few people, the most recent being the leaders of the bandits on Cuiwei Mountain.
Although they managed to rescue their third leader, Sai Pohou, they also captured some other henchmen and minor leaders on the same day. Since they couldn't rescue all of them at the same time, they were all executed in the street that same day.
This feud is now firmly established. Su Xiaoxiao also felt that the method used was extremely cruel. To be able to do this, to take Qian Musheng away from the wedding banquet silently, and to kill the bride while there were still maids and servants waiting in front of the bridal chamber, must have involved some of the low-down methods used in the martial arts world.
For example, the maids and servants at the gate were drugged and rendered unconscious by a sleeping potion. This kind of potion is usually only used by notorious womanizers in the martial arts world. A chivalrous hero like Qian Musheng would actually disdain using such low-class tricks.
After Su Xiaoxiao's analysis, it seems that this matter really is related to those people in the martial arts world.
So, although she can't determine right now whether it's the bandits from Cuiwei Mountain, it's probably true.
These people are truly ruthless. Su Xiaoxiao asked the two of them, "Do you have any news about the Tenth Prince?"
Both of them shook their heads sadly, indicating that they did not.
Suddenly, the little stool looked sad and started to cry loudly.
"I heard that the Dali Temple has finished its trial. They said that no matter whether Young Master Qian confesses or not, he must be killed on the day of Miss's funeral to pay tribute to her. Although this is against the rules, it is the will of Prince Gong's mother, and no one else can do anything about it. Even the Emperor can only obey the Princess Consort's orders. This Princess Consort suddenly lost her daughter and seems to have gone a bit crazy. She goes to the palace every day to cause trouble for the Emperor. In the end, there was no other way. No matter whether Qian Musheng confesses or not, this matter is set in stone. Qian Musheng must be executed in order to comfort her heart after her daughter's death."
Although this case was not handled according to common sense, the emperor eventually agreed.
However, this news was bad news for Su Xiaoxiao and her group. After all, the funeral of Prince Gong's sister was to be held in three days, leaving them little time to overturn the case. Moreover, even if the murderer was found within those three days, without a powerful person to back them up and support them, all their efforts would be in vain.
