Chapter 172 Who Is The Assassin (Part Two)
Yun Shang stood quietly. She knew that many people were watching her and had their own judgments.
Yun Shang''s eyes ran across the room. She saw that the Li n was surprised. Wen Ruyu looked
nkly at Yun Shang, but Prince Jing was smiling.
Yun Shang turned back and saw that Emperor Ning was thoughtful. She smiled and walked to Emperor
Ning, "Father, do you me me for being too reckless? I am angry. Some people are clearly dogs, but
they have run wild on the grasnd for some time and have never been told that they are dogs from
childhood, so they think they are wolves."
Emperor Ning smiled. Although he was amazed at what Yun Shang said, he was somewhat happy. His
daughter wasn''t weak, and no one could bully her. Moreover, she defended him, which made him
happy.

"What you said is right."
Yun Shang turned her head, pretending that she didn''t see the man''s furious and murderous look. She
looked at the two men kneeling on the floor and frowned. "Well, I seem to have met the assassin in
ck before. But I just can''t remember where."
Prince Jingughed. "You have indeed met him. We met him when we had an outing on the third of
March this year. He is Wen Qingzhu."
Yun Shang was now enlightened. "Oh yes! I remember that. He is indeed Wen Qingzhu. He came with
Wen Ruyu that day… But why did he hurt the Prince?"
Yun Shang looked at Wen Ruyu as if absorbed in thought. Lord Zheng had brought the chairs. Wen
Ruyu was about to sit down when she heard Yun Shang mention her. Stunned, she looked
incredulously at the two men kneeling on the floor. She thought that they were familiar, but she didn''t
think much about their identity as they were the assassins who had stabbed Cangjue Qingsu.
Wen Ruyu was surprised. She quickly went up to the two men in shock and disbelief. Even though she
now knew who they were, she couldn''t help but shout out, "Father, brother..." She was totally
astonished.
Wen Qingzhu looked broken-down. His clothes were messy. His bun was loose. His face had paled,
and his hands were trembling. As Wen Ruyu called out to him, he raised his head to look at Wen Ruyu
before lowering his head again.
Wen Yunqing straightened his back. But his frown revealed his emotions.
Wen Ruyu didn''t know what was happening. Shocked, she turned to look at Grand Councilor Li, but
Grand Councilor Li didn''t look at her. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Brother, what happened? You have never met the third Prince of the State of Yng before. Why did
you stab him?" Wen Ruyu squatted and grabbed Wen Qingzhu''s arm. As Wen Qingzhu didn''t respond,
she tightened her grip. Wen Qingzhu frowned and looked at Wen Ruyu, but he didn''t say anything.
Wen Ruyu helplessly turned to look at Wen Yunqing, "Father."
Wen Yunqing frowned and remained silent.
"Lady Wen, please sit. We will know what happenedter. Thew will judge whether your father and
brother are innocent." Yun Shang said gently tofort Wen Ruyu.
Wen Ruyu could do nothing as she didn''t know what was going on. If she did something recklessly, her
father and brother would be implicated in more serious crimes. Her efforts wouldn''t be worth the candle
by then. Moreover, the Wen n and that man were allied. He would find ways to save the Wen n.
If not, they would just implicate him as well.
At this thought, Wen Ruyu hesitated for a moment before letting go of her brother''s arm. Then she
stood, and walked to her seat.
"Has the Head of the Court of Justice arrived?" Emperor Ning asked in a deep voice.
Prince Jing stepped forward and answered, "He is on his way here."
While they were talking, someone rushed in. "Your Majesty, I am here." Everyone turned and saw a
man with a grey mustache.
Emperor Ning nodded and pointed to a chair, "Have a seat. Prince Jing will tell you what happened.
Then you can try this case. Be cautious."
The Head of the Court of Justice nodded with respect, "I won''t fail you."
Prince Jing said loudly, "Mister Xing, the third Prince of the State of Yng was stabbed and injured in
this yard. When the guard at the gate heard the scream and rushed in, he saw Wen Qingzhu holding a
dagger which was still lodged in the body of the third Prince."
The Head of the Court of Justice looked serious. The third Prince of the State of Yng was involved. If
he made any mistake, it would most likely affect the diplomatic rtions between the two states. At this
thought, he asked Wen Qingzhu, "Wen Qingzhu, did you stab the third Prince of the State of Yng?
Do you admit your guilt?"
When asked, Wen Qingzhu seemed to regain hisposure and looked at the Head of the Court of
Justice. He replied, "Yes, I admit."
All the others burst into an uproar. Wen Ruyu looked at Wen Qingzhu in shock and disbelief.
"Where is the guard who found the third Prince and Mister Wen?" The Head of the Court of Justice
asked. A guard stepped forward and knelt, "I found the third Prince and Mister Wen." The Head of the
Court of Justice nodded. "Were they alone in the yard when you found them?"
