Chapter 242: Order to Overturn the Case
Chapter 242: Order to Overturn the Case
Chu Yan looked over and saw that the two trees she was talking about were surrounded by a large patch of weeds.
There are many thorny vines around...
“Dig them first!”
"Let's split up. I'll dig this one. You guys dig the one over there." Mu Ningyuan said in a low voice.
"Okay. This way it's faster."
"I'm with Brother Mu." Si Qi took the initiative to say, and he had obviously forgotten about what happened in the carriage.
"Okay." Mu Ningyuan nodded.
The weeds and vines were not much of an obstacle to them.
Mu Ningyuan drew his sword and cut them off.
There were also two experts brought by Mu Ningyuan to help. They quickly cleared all the obstacles beside the tree.
Knowing that they came in specifically to dig today, they brought five hoes, all of which were bought by Shen Yindi in advance.
Here, Chu Yan had already started digging with a hoe.
Mu Ningyuan has also started construction.
I dug half a meter deep and found nothing.
"Your Highness, I don't think it's here. He can't be buried so deep." Shen Yindi quickly came to the conclusion.
I was a little disappointed when I didn't find anything. But it was never supposed to be that easy.
"It doesn't matter, keep looking!" Shen Yindi cheered up.
There was nothing strange on Chu Yan's face. He seemed to be facing it calmly.
They continued searching and found the target again after about half an hour.
This time there are three trees, in different locations, and each tree is more than fifty meters apart.
They continued to act separately.
Shen Yindi thought, it should be possible this time, right?
I don't even know where in the woods this is?
Dig and dig.
Still no movement.
Shen Yindi sighed. Is it so unlucky?
When she thought that the work was in vain, Chu Yan suddenly stopped.
He threw away the hoe, squatted down, and started digging with his hands.
"Your Highness, have you found it?" Shen Yindi became excited instantly.
"should be."
Soon, he dug out a wooden box that was very similar in color to the soil.
Shen Yindi couldn't help but sigh that Lord Lu Zhen was so thoughtful!
"We found it!" Shen Yindi shouted towards Si Qi.
Si Qi's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over.
But the next moment, she suddenly screamed, jumped onto Mu Ningyuan, hugged his neck tightly, and buried her face in his neck.
This series of actions also startled Mu Ningyuan. He hugged her with one hand and asked, "What happened to Qi'er?"
"There's a snake!" Si Qi pointed behind him.
Lord Mu was even more surprised. He looked over subconsciously and saw a bamboo green snake not far away. He pulled out a flying knife and threw it over.
The bamboo leaf green snake was stabbed seven inches into its body and it was in pain.
After dealing with the snake, Mu Ningyuan looked at the little girl in his arms.
This fearless little girl is actually afraid of snakes?
I really can't tell.
"Don't be afraid, Qi'er. The snake is dead."
Si Qi's legs were wrapped around Mu Ningyuan's waist, and he was dragging her. This posture... was somewhat ambiguous.
It's just that the person involved didn't notice it.
"Really? Look around to see if there are any other snakes?" Si Qi was still in shock. She had been afraid of snakes since she was a child.
"No, don't be afraid. I'm here." Mu Ningyuan patted her back and comforted her gently.
Si Qi certainly believed Mu Ningyuan, so he got off him.
She realized her reaction just now and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, Brother Mu. I was rude just now..."
Mu Ningyuan couldn't help but laugh, he just thought it was cute.
"It's okay, I won't laugh at Qi'er."
"Let's go and take a look. I think we have found it." Afraid that she would be shy, Mu Ningyuan didn't say anything else.
But Si Qi was still frightened and kept holding his arm.
Mu Ningyuan certainly had no objection, the closer they were, the better.
"Adi? Is that what you are looking for?" Si Qi walked closer and asked curiously.
"Yes!" Shen Yindi was a little excited.
There was a lock on the wooden box, which had just been chopped off by Chu Yan.
Inside were two letters and a jade pendant.
That jade pendant is the symbol of Zhaoyue Kingdom's status. It belongs to the third prince Yu Ruoyang.
There were two letters, one was from Lord Lu Zhen, and the other was from Commander Liang who betrayed Chu Yan, which should be considered a confession.
Lu Zhen said in the letter that he was in charge of investigating the case and should not have failed the emperor's trust and handled it impartially. However, he was threatened with extermination of his entire family.
He said that the other party was too strong and he had no room to resist at all.
But he couldn't bear to see such an outstanding person like Chu Yan being ruined by those people, so he left behind useful evidence, hoping that one day he would be able to find it and prove his innocence.
Commander Liang said in his confession that he was forced into a desperate situation. If he did not follow the other party's instructions, all the people in his village would die because of him, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, hundreds of people.
At that time, Chu Yan had also fallen into the trap and had no way to escape. He was chosen by those people later.
He said that it was Yu Ruoyang who contacted him and he took his token.
As for who they contacted from Da Chu, they never said it.
This is very strange.
Mu Ningyuan read all of this, and his expression became slightly solemn.
"Okay, let's go out first and discuss it after we get on the carriage." Chu Yan said in a low voice.
"it is good."
Shen Yindi thought, this should prove that her prince was wronged, right?
The terrible thing is that they don’t have the final say; it all depends on the Emperor’s opinion.
An hour later, they finally came out.
It was already getting dark.
"Your Highness, shall we go directly to the palace to find the Emperor?" Shen Yindi suggested.
There was no time to lose, and she did not recommend waiting for such matters.
Otherwise, you will have long nights and many dreams.
This evidence is indeed very important. After the King of Chu read it, he felt that the evidence was sufficient and that he should overturn the verdict as soon as possible.
If they cannot overturn the verdict, they will continue to look for other evidence and make a quick decision.
After all, it depends on what he means.
"Okay." Chu Yan had the same idea as Shen Yindi.
It's been five years, and he wants to have some peace of mind.
"Yun Yi, you come in with us." Mu Ningyuan said.
Before Chu Yan could answer, Shen Yindi had already answered for him: "Of course he has to go. In fact, he is the one who should go the most!"
"Well, since you all have gone, I can only wait for you outside." Si Qi said sullenly.
"Qi'er, I'll have to bear with you for a while. When my prince's charges are cleared, I'll take you to the palace to play." Shen Yindi said with a smile.
"I'm not going in. What's fun in the palace?"
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then we won't go. Now I have to ask you to wait for a while."
"Yeah. It's okay."
An hour later, they arrived at the imperial study.
The King of Chu dismissed everyone except the four of them.
Chu Yan and Shen Yindi knelt on the ground.
The evidence obtained has been handed over to Emperor Chu!
"Father, please make the decision and clear my name!" Chu Yan's voice was a little choked. He had endured too much over the years.
Those things should not have happened to him. If it weren't for Adi, he might have been completely ruined.
"Your Majesty, please give our prince a chance."
After a while, the King of Chu found his voice again: "Duofu, come in."
"Minions are here"
"Pass on my order. There is significant evidence that proves that the Zhenbei King Chu Yan was collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country. Overturn the previous conviction and reopen the case!"
