Chapter 554: Careful and thorough
"Did you see your young master's face at that time? What did he tell you?" Jiang Youzhen asked the servant.
The book boy's face turned pale immediately. "I really didn't notice it at that time. When I entered the study, I only saw the young master was reading. It was getting dark and the room was blurry. I asked the young master why he didn't ask someone to light the lamp? Don't let your eyes get hurt."
"The young master told me about this matter. I tried to persuade him, saying that there were many opportunities and he didn't need to stick to this one. He might as well consider it again. But the young master was impatient and ordered me to copy it quickly. At that time, the young master stood up and pressed me in front of the desk, saying that he would light the lamp and told me not to stop for a moment.
I had no choice but to focus on copying. Then the young mistress came. I looked over and saw the young master standing in the backlight, so I didn't pay attention. The young master also told me to put the robe in my bag after copying and not to forget to bring it with me.
The more the book boy thought about this, the more he felt something was not right.
"No, that person was wearing the young master's clothes at the time, but I never noticed the young master's face. I only saw his back."
"You didn't see his face, so how can you be sure it's your young master? If there was someone of similar stature, wearing your young master's clothes, in the dark at night, and your attention was on copying, you would inevitably overlook it." Jiang Youzhen nodded.
"But where is the voice? That is clearly the young master's voice." The servant boy couldn't believe it. Is there really such a wonderful thing in the world?
The Third Prince's eyes sparkled with a strange light, "There is a person who is good at ventriloquism. He can imitate the voices of many people and animals. It is impossible to tell the real one from the fake one."
"It definitely wasn't me. Once the witnesses come, I can be cleared of all charges." Liu Gui was immediately overjoyed. Was this the moment when his innocence was redressed?
"But this is just your guess. Why do those people want to wrongly accuse Liu Gui?" Zhu Zhimin was puzzled.
Everyone was puzzled. Even if they wanted to frame Jiang Youzhen, why did they choose Liu Gui, a stranger? Wouldn't it be better to start with someone close to him?
"Because the mastermind behind the scenes came for me, and chose Senior Brother Liu because he often goes to Fuyun Pavilion. Senior Brother Liu is also a candidate for this joint examination, and he often goes in and out of Xima Lane next to Fuyun Pavilion. He is one of the suitable candidates selected by the mastermind behind the scenes.
If Senior Brother had not gone to Xima Lane that day, perhaps someone else would have committed the fraud."
In the final analysis, Liu Gui suffered an unprovoked disaster. However, he went to Xima Lane on his own initiative, and it was probably because of this that he came into the sight of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"How do you know this?" Liu Gui was surprised, and everyone was full of doubts.
Jiang Youzhen took out a small black wooden sign from his arms and handed it to Liu Gui.
"Because of this item!" Jiang Youzhen looked at everyone, "Fuyun Pavilion has a VIP system, and this item is the token of Fuyun Pavilion's Class C VIP. That day, my senior brother and I bumped into each other, and this item fell out of his arms, and I picked it up! As for this item, I have a Class A VIP token, which is red."
Fuyun Pavilion is hers, and the VIP system is a membership system. It is the rules she set, so she naturally understands them.
Liu Gui suddenly realized, "Oh, right, I went to Fuyun Pavilion that day and ordered a table of food and wine to be delivered to the courtyard. After that, I didn't notice that the token was lost."
"The people behind the scenes know that I have a special private room in Fuyun Pavilion, and I go there almost every month. Their purpose is to do this. Spies always need to make contact, so they chose the Fuyun Pavilion private room where no one can disturb them. And Senior Brother Liu happens to go there often, so he is the contact, which makes perfect sense."
In other words, it was Liu Gui's bad luck. Every incident seemed to have nothing to do with Jiang Youzhen, but at the same time, they were somehow connected to Jiang Youzhen.
"This? It's simply a chain of schemes, one after another, it can be said to be perfectly planned! It seems to have no connection, but everything fits together!" The newly appointed prefect Luochuan was deeply moved and had to admire the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Is there really someone who is so calculating? I can't believe it!" Zhu Zhimin also found it incredible. "It's really hard to understand. They would go to such great lengths just to plot against a small scholar?"
“The person behind this is meticulous, but he can’t be said to have planned everything out, and there are many loopholes.” The second prince raised his head with some pride. He was so powerful, yet Jiang Youzhen still saw through his plan?
"That's right! But the person behind the scenes is really powerful. If the developer powder wasn't different, and Jiang Youzhen was so smart that he could find the clues, the fraud case would have been confirmed, and it was inevitable that Jiang Youzhen would be implicated."
The third prince was also full of admiration. What kind of force was this that was so cunning and shrewd?
But what shocked him even more was Jiang Youzhen. He didn't expect that Jiang Youzhen was so meticulous and could see through the other party's plan so easily?
This kind of scheming is shocking and admirable.
The three princes looked at Jiang Youzhen with undisguised admiration. Who else could be so amazing?
This was the first time that Prefect Luochuan witnessed Jiang Youzhen's power. His eyes flickered and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Ahem! Isn't it because the three princes and the lords are very observant and know the character of the student, and gave the student a chance to explain himself?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Youzhen is still grateful.
If the three princes hadn't come to her rescue this time, would she have had a chance to turn the tables when she arrived at the Dali Temple, based on the attitude of Zhu Zhimin, the Dali Temple Minister? He would have given her a severe beating first, and then Zhu Zhimin wouldn't believe anything she said.
It was the princes present who supported her, so she had to remember this favor.
In fact, if we hadn't unraveled the mystery so thoroughly, with so many witnesses and physical evidence, we might not have been able to overturn the case. But who is she? She is the host personally chosen by the system. Is she an ordinary person?
System: Are you praising yourself or me?
"Hmph! There's no need to pretend to be modest. I think you are getting too proud of yourself." The second prince snorted coldly. I told you you were fat and you got angry.
Jiang Youzhen wanted to roll his eyes. Was she getting carried away? She was being blamed for flattering someone.
"Sir! If you want to prove whether Senior Brother Liu was in Xima Lane that day, you just need to ask the doorman or the servants at the stables at the mansion and ask them about the time when Senior Brother Liu went out and came back." Jiang Youzhen suggested.
"Someone, go to the Liu family and investigate." Zhu Zhimin ordered.
About an hour later, the guard who went to take the confession finally came back, as Liu Gui and others were feeling anxious.
"Sir, this is their confession!"
Zhu Zhimin took it and looked at it, and found that it was exactly the same as Jiang Youzhen had guessed.
"After asking the neighbors in Xima Lane and the maid who served Ju, it turned out that Liu Gui did go to the young widow Ju's house that night.
Because the two had a fierce quarrel that day, and then the neighbors heard the noise and came out to see Liu Gui drunk and stormed out, never to return. It was almost curfew, so the neighbors and the little girl were deeply impressed. "
Zhu Zhimin turned to the next page and read the confessions of Liu's servants. There were three people in total, namely the doorman, the coachman, and a maid.
