Governor Yu was so angry that his chest stagnated and his bloodshot eyes almost popped out: "Slander!"
"Governor Yu, the medicine has not been tested yet, why are you so aggressive?" Shen Xihe looked at him in confusion, "It seems that Governor Yu knows what this thing is."
Why? You don’t know best!
Governor Yu looked so ferocious that he wished he could eat Shen Xihe alive.
At this moment he understood that Bu Shulin had swallowed the poison himself. The poison was provided by Shen Xihe. The guard beside Shen Xihe was very skilled. He hid the bottle of medicine in his arms during the confrontation and deliberately took it out in front of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.
This was done in public, and everyone saw that it was his people who hid the poison, which was exactly the same as the trap they set for Bu Shulin!
"Princess, do you know what crime it is to frame an official appointed by the imperial court?" Governor Yu cast a vicious look at Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe turned around and asked slowly, word by word: "Yu, Governor, do you know what crime it is to slander a king, a prince, a general or a minister?"
The girl was graceful and slender, yet as straight as a beam, able to support the wide roof beam. Governor Yu was immediately humbled.
Before he could open his mouth to speak, Shen Xihe chuckled: "Governor Yu, are you saying that I framed you? Do you have any evidence? Could it be that Governor Yu wants to say that I forced this medicine on your confidant?"
Isn’t it?!
"Don't you think this is ridiculous, Governor Yu?" Shen Xihe's eyes flashed with mockery: "I have only been here for half an hour, and I have never met you alone. The governor of Tang County was always by my side. This thing fell from your confidant, and the governor and the county lieutenant saw it clearly.
Yu, the governor, if you want to protest your injustice, if you want to find someone to take the blame, find someone who can justify it."
Governor Yu was so angry that his fists creaked. Shen Xihe ignored him and looked at Tang Juan: "Tang County Magistrate, the incident happened in your government office. Governor Yu is your superior, but the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Why don't you arrest Governor Yu first and then report to His Majesty. Since Governor Yu keeps accusing me, I will naturally not leave. I will stay here and let the people appointed by His Majesty investigate thoroughly."
Well, the princess’s reasons for staying are so high-sounding.
Tang Juan thought that she was so bold as to let her subordinates frame the governor in public and even got two eyewitnesses. She felt that the princess was brave and resourceful, and acted carefully and without any loopholes. It would be best not to offend her in the future.
"What the princess said is absolutely right. The county lieutenant and I saw it with our own eyes. This thing fell from the person brought by the governor. As for whether it was the poison that Prince Bu was poisoned with, we still need to verify it." Tang Juan was also cautious and did not leave any omissions. Every word he said was objective and without any bias.
The county lieutenant wanted to say that he had not seen it, but such an obvious thing, unless he was blind, he could only say dryly: "There are still doubts about this matter. The governor has no reason to poison Prince Bu."
"How did the county lieutenant know that Governor Yu had no reason? Is there any evidence?" Shen Xihe asked slowly, "If there is, please ask the county lieutenant to bring it out to avoid misunderstandings and let Governor Yu be wronged for nothing."
"Your subordinate..." The county lieutenant was speechless and could only ask, "Why does the princess think that the governor Yu is suspected of poisoning Prince Bu?"
"The county lieutenant's words are really incomprehensible?" Shen Xihe looked him up and down. "The county lieutenant is a military officer. His duty is to quell rebellions and capture criminals. It is not appropriate for him to interfere in such matters as investigating cases and catching criminals."
