Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 866

Yun Shang nodded, "He will definitely do so. But it's useless for Xia Houjing to shout for justice without any evidence. After all, the guard saw the carriage of the seventh Prince, not ours. Even if he wants to overthrow it, he'll have to show solid evidence. The patterns on the wheels of carriages of every prince and princess are different. They are all made in the Jintai Carriage Store in the city."

"If the seventh Prince wants to reverse the confession about the carriage, he will mostly likely do from two aspects. First, let the owner of Jintai Carriage Store testify that the Crown Prince had ordered him to make a carriage with a pattern as that of the seventh Prince's. Two, leave the evidence pointing to the Crown Prince in that carriage. We have to start from these two things." Yun Shang whispered.

As soon as Yun Shang finished her words, Qian Yin said, "We have some business dealings with Jingtai Carriage Store and we also have some spy in the store. I wonder if the spy will come in handy."

Yun Shang smiled, "Of course the spy will be useful. As I said, we don't have time to investigate who has been bribed by the seventh Prince and we don't know what benefits the seventh Prince has promised them. Now we could only solve the problem by simple and direct means. Ask our spy in the Jintai Carriage Store if anyone from the Seventh Prince's Mansion has contacted with the people in the store. If there is, we can kidnap that person; if not, we can just kidnap shopkeeper directly, and then ask someone to disguise as him. After the officers take him to the Palace, he will insist that only the people from the Seventh Prince's Mansion had ordered him to make carriage for the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

Qian Yin answered. Yun Shang continued, "As for the evidence that might be put on the carriage to frame His Highness, I have to ask Luo Qi to send someone to search all the carriages in the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

Luo Qi nodded and left with his task.

Yun Shang went on, "There is also another possibility. It is the guard at the city gate. The guard of the city gate only said that he saw the carriage of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but he could also say that the person driving the carriage is not from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but more like someone from the Crown Prince's Mansion."

"There are only two or three Coachmen in the two mansions. They often go in and out of the city gates. The guards are very familiar with them. If the guard say that the coachman is from the Crown Prince's Mansion, then we can't explain ourselves." Yun Shang whispered.

This made everyone feel difficult. "There are so many guards at the city gate, but we don't know which one of them has identified the carriage of the Seventh Prince's Mansion? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Yun Shang nodded, looking worried.

She walked back and forth in the room, but couldn't figure it out.

Qin Yi said gently, "If the guard at the city gate says that the carriage is driven by the coachman from our mansion, the coachmen in our mansion will have to be brought into the Palace to be interrogated..."

Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes suddenly lit up. "What Qin Yi said is a breakthrough. Now almost all the coachmen in the mansion are secret guards. Qin Yi, go and tell them that if someone brings them into the Palace and recognizes any of them, the one could just say that the seventh Prince bribed him and ordered him to take a carriage out of the city. Take some cash with you and ask each of them to hide five hundred taels of silver in some place and say the silver was given by the seventh Prince when any of them being asked."
