Chapter 444 Scissor Noodles (6)

  Although the spring plate had been eaten, the winter cold had not completely subsided, Wen Mingtang pushed open the gate of the Dali Temple prison and walked in.

  The coolness brought by the moment the cell door was pushed open blows into the cell near the cell door, causing the person sitting on the stone bed in the cell to shudder. Compared with the gray and white prison uniforms with the word "Prison" painted on the rest of the prisoners in this big prison, the prisoner in the cell near the exit is wearing a bright and bright floor-length dress with a long skirt. The special corrugated pleat style is the most fashionable style in Chang'an these days. If it were placed on the streets of Chang'an, the prisoner wearing a long skirt in the prison would definitely not be so eye-catching, but... in this big prison, for some reason, this brightly colored long skirt is the same as the clean but simple prison. The environment seemed out of place and somewhat inexplicably funny.

The person sitting on the stone bed in the prison was sobbing with his eyes lowered. When he heard the sound, he looked up. When he saw Wen Mingtang approaching, his expression froze for a moment. Immediately turned into anger, she jumped off the stone bed and rushed towards the prison door.

   "Wen, you..."

  Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Mingtang outside the prison door: "Your surname is also Wen, which one are you referring to?"

  Wen Xiutang gritted her teeth, and her voice almost popped out from between her teeth: "Wen—Ming—Tang."

Wen Mingtang nodded "Yes" when she heard the words. Compared with Wen Xiutang's gnashing of teeth, the expression on her face can be described as calm. She quietly looked at the prison with her teeth open and grasping, and stretched out her hand, trying to grab her. Wen Xiutang said: "It's me, Wen Xiutang, long time no see."

  This calm appearance made Wen Xiutang even more angry. She glared at Wen Mingtang: "What did you do to harm me?"

   "It's right for me to ask my cousin!" Wen Mingtang looked at Wen Xiutang and said leisurely, "My ancestor Zeng said, 'We are born from the same root, so why bother with each other'. Why did my cousin help others to frame me?"

  Wen Xiutang gritted her teeth, and seeing Wen Mingtang's calm expression, she subconsciously grasped the cell door tightly in her hand, almost completely sinking into the wooden pillar with her beautifully painted nails.

  The wooden pillars of the cage reminded her that she has been arrested now, and she can't scold Wen Mingtang like before. Not only that, but she might be laughed at by this dead girl, eh, no! Wen Xiutang, who suddenly noticed something, reacted, and suddenly raised her head to look at Wen Mingtang: "Your physical evidence is a gold and jade seal?"

Wen Mingtang smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes! It was picked up from the dead man on the day he was hunted down. After verification, it was indeed owned by King Yu. Therefore, the dead man should belong to King Yu Undoubtedly, he sent people to hunt and kill me, cousin, you help..."

  Before he finished speaking, Wen Xiutang interrupted him.

   "Impossible!" Wen Xiutang glared at her and said, "How could you find the gold and jade seal on that dead man? The seal was obviously lost... No, it was you!"

  Facing Wen Xiutang's unbelievable eyes, Wen Mingtang pursed his lips and smiled, and she said: "Cousin remembers, that seal was indeed picked up in your house when I went to the teaching workshop..."

   What a pick! Wen Xiutang couldn't help gritting her teeth again when she saw the unpleasant face in front of her, who knew whether she picked it up or took it? Although that person always throws things away, but this seal... er, it's hard to say. When he lost this thing, the man even kicked and beat her, so that she didn't dare to see anyone because of the injury she had been recovering for several days.

  But now is not the time to recall these things, Wen Xiutang looked at Wen Mingtang, and said angrily: "Obviously you took it from me, so why are you talking nonsense about taking it from the dead man? You still plan to put me in jail?"

  Wen Mingtang waited patiently for Wen Xiutang to finish all the questioning, and then said leisurely: "Cousin, you want me to say that this seal was picked up in your house?"

"Since..." Wen Xiutang subconsciously closed her mouth before finishing the word "ran", and calmly thought about it: Now that damned girl Wen Mingtang is accusing him of assisting King Yu in killing people, the seal on the dead man's body can confirm the dead man's death Whether the people of King Yu can help King Yu or not, apart from the witness who saw the dead girl looking for her that day, there is no other physical evidence. She was the top card in the Jiaofang, and King Yu's status at that time, it is not impossible to say that King Yu forced her to do these things!

  But if this seal was picked up in her house... no, so what? I was really almost bluffed by this dead girl's appearance! It's just a seal. King Yu was her guest of honor back then, so it's not surprising that a seal landed on her!

In this way... Wen Xiutang sneered when he came to his senses: "Oh! You only have the witness that you came to Jiaofang to look for me that day. Where did you get the real evidence? Why arrest me?" and shouted "Come on".

  After a few times of "Come here", a jailer heard the news and rushed over.

Wen Xiutang sneered at Wen Mingtang, pointed at Wen Mingtang and said loudly: "Go and find your lords, she just said by herself that the seal was not from the dead man, but was picked up in my house. The so-called physical evidence is hers." It was programmed, you have no right to arrest me, let me go!" At this point, before the jailer opened his mouth, as if afraid that the jailer would not believe him, Wen Xiutang hurriedly pointed to several nearby cells and said, "The two of us spoke in a very loud voice just now. I didn't shy away from everyone, but there are still many people who have heard the conversation between the two of us just now!"

Because the jailer came over, the prisoners who came to the cell door to watch were still hesitating, as if they were considering whether to make a sound, but it was Wen Mingtang who was on the other side who nodded, and she said: " She was right, and I did say that just now."

  That's it... Wen Mingtang personally admitted that the jailer didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed over and invited Liu Yuan, Bai Zhutong and Wei Fu, the three temple ministers, not long after.

  Seeing the person coming, Wen Xiutang immediately repeated what she said just now, then pointed to Wen Mingtang, and said, "She just admitted with her own mouth that she picked up the seal from me, not from the dead."

  Wen Mingtang on the side said: "That's right."

  Liu Yuan and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and immediately asked the clerk who came with them to write down the matter, and then passed it on to Wen Xiutang.

   After Wen Xiutang confirms it, press his fingerprint on Wen Mingtang's complaint, and Wen Mingtang's complaint will be considered invalid.

  When the fingerprints were pressed, Wen Xiutang wiped her fingers and asked the three of them: "My lord, since there is a misunderstanding, can my daughter leave?" There was such a commotion in the Ye Mansion just now, and I'm afraid it will be necessary to explain it when I go back.

  The three people on the opposite side didn't nod or shake their heads, they just looked at Wen Xiutang and said, "Master Wen's complaint today is considered useless."

  Wen Xiutang let out a "hmm" and walked to the cell door, waiting for the jailer to come to open the door.

  The jailer did not come over from the side, but looked at the three temple ministers. After a while, Liu Yuan looked at her and said, "Miss Wen, do you know what King Yu used this seal for?"
