PNB Chapter 565 Zheng Zihe's Last Trump Card
Chapter 565 Zheng Zihe's Last Trump Card
Zheng Zihe was almost mad with anger!
"What nonsense are you talking about?! It was Prince Li who set the fire! What does this have to do with our Zheng family?!"
Baili Moqing said coldly, "Zheng Zihe, you accuse me like this, do you already have some irrefutable evidence?"
"If you have evidence, then show it before you speak!"
"If there is no evidence, you can't afford to be charged with the crime of framing the prince!"
Zheng Zihe responded coldly, "As long as the identity of Princess Li is proven, I believe everyone in the world will know for sure who started the fire!"
"So, as long as we can prove that my identity as the princess is not in doubt, then this fire, as Miss Zhang said, was started by your Zheng family?"
Zheng Zihe snorted coldly. He would not fall into the trap in his words!
"Prince Li, please don't try to change the subject!"
"No matter who started the fire, it couldn't have been my Zheng family! At the time, my sister was poisoned by the princess and her life was hanging by a thread. I was still waiting to make a deal with the princess in exchange for the antidote to save my sister. How could I possibly set the fire to kill her?"
"Your Majesty! Zhang Zhirou claims to be Liu Ruxin's sister, but I've checked and found no cousins in the Zhang family! The 'cousin' she's referring to is Shu He, whom she met in Yuancheng!"
"The so-called 'Liu Ruxin' and 'Shu He' are actually the same person! Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Emperor Qiwen frowned, feeling that what Zheng Zihe said was a little difficult to understand.
He couldn't help but ask, "Just because Liu Ruxin and Shu He have a common friend, you are so convinced that Liu Ruxin is Shu He?"
"Zheng Zihe, do you think your words are reliable?"
"Your Majesty, they both possess medical skills, are accompanied by Zhang Zhirou, and even have Prince Li by their side. Doesn't this high degree of overlap mean something?"
"If everything else makes sense, then how can we explain Prince Li's frequent visits to the Precious Pharmacy after his return to the capital? He was also incredibly attentive to Liu Ruxin, and even bought the Precious Pharmacy after Liu Ruxin's death? How can we explain all these actions?"
As the excited words fell, a burst of discussion filled the hall.
Among the officials who have been watching for many years, almost every one of them has become an old fox.
They know very well that one thing may be a coincidence, but if two or three things happen at the same time as coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence!
So, are Captain Zheng’s accusations all true?
"Then I will explain it to you one by one!" Baili Moqing said lightly, and the hall full of mutterings suddenly became quiet.
"First, there are more than one woman in the world who knows medicine, and naturally Liu Ruxin is not the only one! There is another woman in the precious medicine pavilion, treating the people and benefiting them. Could it be that this female doctor is also the princess?"
"Secondly, Captain Zheng failed to find out Liu Ruxin's identity, which only proves your incompetence."
"Liu Ruxin's family not only exists, but is also in Rongcheng!"
"Liu Ji, the leading business in Rongcheng, is Liu Ruxin's family. However, Liu Ruxin has studied medicine since childhood and often travels among the people in the mountains, rarely appearing at the Liu family. Therefore, few people in Rongcheng know that the head of the Liu family, Liu Xiao, has a daughter named Liu Ruxin."
"This matter may not be known to outsiders, but the Liu family all know it. If Captain Zheng doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the Liu family to investigate!"
Zheng Zihe's thick eyebrows almost stood upside down, and the uneasiness and doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
He said it so confidently, could it be true?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Zhang Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, after Sister He came out of the Dali Temple, the prince specifically "confirmed" the identity of "Liu Ruxin" in order to prevent future troubles. Otherwise, they might really be bitten to death by Zheng Zihe because of this loophole!
Baili Moqing looked calm and composed as he continued, "As for why I often go to the Precious Medicine Pavilion, it's because Zhang Zhirou is there!"
"Half a year ago, the prince and the princess had a small conflict, and the princess hid herself out of anger with the prince."
"Zhang Zhirou and the princess met in Yuancheng and fought side by side in Beishacheng, forming a deep friendship. I am simply asking Miss Zhang to help coax the princess back."
Someone in the hall believed this and said with a smile, "So that's how it is! It seems that the prince is really deeply in love with the princess. When the princess is angry, the prince has to personally find a way to coax her back!"
Suspected of being a bit henpecked!
Baili Moqing put one hand behind his back and looked down at Zheng Zihe. "Captain Zheng, are you satisfied with my explanation?"
"Do you still have any doubts? If so, please tell me everything. I will explain everything to you until you are convinced!"
Beads of sweat trickled down Zheng Zihe's temples. He knew very well that few of Baili Moqing's words were true, but he couldn't prove that he was lying at this moment.
It seems that I can only play the last card!
"Your Majesty, I have witnesses!"
Zheng Zihe spoke again, causing people in the hall to have different expressions.
Even Shu He felt a little uneasy, as if danger was approaching.
Zhang Zhirou's hands gradually tightened under her sleeves, and her face showed uneasiness and tension.
Witness? Who could it be?
Sister He only restores her true appearance in the middle of the night in Kyoto. It is impossible for anyone else in Kyoto to have seen her true face!
Could it be that Zheng Zihe was pretending to cheat them?
Zheng Zihe turned around and said, "Miss Zhang, Princess Li, this is your last chance. Are you sure you want to hold on to the end?"
After hearing this, Zhang Zhirou's expression obviously relaxed.
It seems that the so-called witness he mentioned is not strong evidence at all! Otherwise, he wouldn't talk so much nonsense!
She sneered, "Captain Zheng, if you really have a witness, bring him here. I also want to know how your Zheng family managed to 'call a horse a zebra' and 'confuse right and wrong'!"
"After all, your Zheng family has mastered this method to perfection!"
Zheng Zihe also glanced at her coldly and bowed to Emperor Qiwen. "Your Majesty, the witness is waiting outside the palace gate. Please allow him to come in and testify!"
"I believe that as soon as that person arrives, Zhang Zhirou and Princess Li will be speechless!"
Emperor Qiwen frowned and immediately asked Liu Qin to go out and bring people.
The hall fell silent, and everyone was on tenterhooks, waiting to see how the situation would develop.
If the witnesses brought by Zheng Zihe can really prove that the Princess of Prince Li is the "dead" Liu Ruxin, doesn't that mean that the fire in the Dali Temple was really set by Prince Li?
Emperor Qiwen had a gloomy face, and his disgust for Zheng Zihe reached its peak.
No matter what the result is today, the Zheng family is destined not to appear in the court again!
Time passed in an oppressive atmosphere. It was unknown how long it had passed. When everyone's backs were completely wet with cold sweat, Liu Qin's voice finally came from outside the door.
With the emperor's permission, a young girl in coarse linen clothes walked in timidly, led by a young eunuch.
When Zhang Zhirou saw the girl for the first time, he was completely shocked and his face turned pale uncontrollably.
