Chapter 1060 Clearance
As their words fell, Hui'an said with a forced smile: "Madam Hou, look, this is the decision of the people, it has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Yiwan nodded. "Since this is the decision of the people, I will naturally obey. However, our Zhan Yihou Mansion is not an ordinary residence. Anyone entering must be strictly inspected for sharp weapons. Come, search him!"
A family guard came quickly to Huian. Following Lin Yiwan's instructions, he raised his hand and grabbed him.
"Puchi!" As Huian's monk robe was torn, an extremely obvious bruise on his back was suddenly revealed.
Lin Yiwan's pupils contracted violently, and she quickly shouted, "You are the evil star. What exactly is your intention in deliberately entering my Zhan Yihou Mansion?"
The people could also see it clearly, and they all took a step back in panic.
Hui'an noticed something was wrong and immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
A commoner tremblingly told him: "You have a dark blue birthmark on your back. Isn't this the characteristic of the evil star you mentioned?"
Hui An subconsciously denied it: "Impossible, how could I have a birthmark?"
How could he not understand his own body?
However, when all the people said that there were bruises on his back, he felt scared.
He felt like he had fallen into a trap!
He didn't bother to go to Zhan Yihou's mansion to look for the evil star anymore, and turned around and ran away immediately.
However, several family generals landed in front of him, gagged him and captured him alive.
Lin Yiwan looked at the onlookers and said, "The evil star is trying to rely on your help to sneak into my Zhan Yihou Mansion. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise, you would have become his accomplices in his evil deeds!"
The people were filled with shame. They had only thought that Master Huian was a highly respected monk, but they had never expected that he would be an evil star.
They all knelt and kowtowed: "We know we are wrong, please forgive us, Madam Hou!"
Lin Yiwan was still anxious to interrogate Huian, so she waved her hand and told them to disperse quickly.
Huian was naturally unwilling to accept this. He tried to struggle and escape many times, but was suppressed by the guards of Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion.
It was not until he was taken to the torture chamber that he turned pale with fear.
Lin Yiwan ordered them to release him, but he forced himself to speak: "I am the chief monk. If I am imprisoned in the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion, isn't the Marquis' wife afraid of angering those monks and having them come to demand my release?"
Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow in mockery, "Where did this high-ranking monk come from? You've revealed your evil qualities in public. Do you think those monks are stupid enough to come to our Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion to cause trouble? They're dying to disown you right now!"
As expected, just as she finished her words, Ling'er's voice rang out from outside: "Madam, the abbot of the Buddhist temple has sent a message. He said that the great monk Huian is a wandering monk from nowhere. Since he has been found to be an evil star, it is up to you to deal with him. Everything he did has nothing to do with the Buddhist temple!"
After hearing these words, Master Huian seemed to have lost his soul, with fear and anxiety all over his face.
He gritted his teeth and denied, "No, I'm not a villain. You must have framed me. I remember now. Was it you who slapped me earlier? You must have done something to me!"
Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Smart, but unfortunately, you understand it too late now. Your reputation as a villain has spread. Who cares whether you live or die?"
Monk Huian's face turned pale and blue. He never expected that he would fall into Lin Yiwan's hands.
At this point, the only thing he could do was pray to the woman in front of him.
He said in a trembling voice, "Madam, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to the Zhan Yi Marquis's residence to cause trouble. Please let me go this time. I won't dare to do it again!"
Lin Yiwan asked in a deep voice, "It's not impossible to let you go, but why did you have to come to my Zhan Yihou Mansion to find the evil star? Who asked you to come?"
Hui'an's eyes flashed, but she was interrupted by Lin Yiwan's shout: "If you dare to lie, I will immediately order someone to throw you into the pond and drown you!"
Hui'an values his life the most, and he doesn't need to lose his life just because of his stubbornness.
He immediately replied, "The second young lady from the Imperial Censorate came to me and told me that her sister was skilled in divination and asked me to capture her and imprison her so I could extract information about the fate of others. Then, I would become a divine monk revered by everyone!"
Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes. It turned out that there was something wrong on Mrs. Wang's side that allowed Wang Yingying to escape and cause such a big disaster.
If Huian really succeeded, Wang Yanyan's reputation would be completely ruined at this moment.
Poor child, she is still in a coma and has no idea what is happening.
A cold look flashed in her eyes, and she kicked Huian to the ground.
Hui'an pleaded in panic, "Madam Hou, please spare my life. I will never dare to do that again. Please let me go."
Lin Yiwan sarcastically said, "Based on what Wang Yingying said, there's no way she'd let you take such a risk. Tell me the truth, who on earth sent you to the Zhan Yihou residence to cause trouble?"
A guilty look flashed across Hui'an's face, and he subconsciously shook his head: "No, there is no one else!"
However, under Lin Yiwan's sharp gaze, he could only squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "And there is the Qingyang Marquis Mansion!"
Lin Yiwan was stunned. Qingyang Marquis Mansion? Which one?
She hurried out to ask Sang Qiutang, and she heard her explain: "The Marquis of Qingyang's Mansion is the family of the eldest princess's new consort!"
Lin Yiwan immediately understood that it was the ambition fostered by the Marquis of Qingyang that had made her want to lay her hands on the position of Queen.
But she didn't know whether this was the intention of the Marquis of Qingyang or the eldest princess.
It seems that she cannot deal with Monk Huian blindly.
At the critical moment, he is needed to testify!
The next day, Lin Yiwan took Zhan Miao to visit the Princess's Mansion.
Normally, she didn't need to hand in a card; as long as the gatekeeper saw her carriage, he would let her pass.
However, this time, it was a stranger who came.
He said in a serious tone, "No matter which mansion you come to visit the Princess's mansion, you must submit a letter first. This is the rule!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. She looked behind the gatekeeper and didn't see a single familiar face.
In other words, in just a few months, all the doormen in the princess's mansion were replaced.
Maybe Zhan Miao couldn't wait, so she rushed in directly.
Unexpectedly, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the gatekeeper. He raised his hand without hesitation and slapped Zhan Miao's face hard.
"Bang!" Lin Yiwan kicked him to the ground.
He angrily scolded: "How dare you trespass into the princess's mansion and wantonly hurt people? What gives you the right?"
Lin Yiwan said coldly, "Just because I'm Lin Yiwan, just because I'm the Marquis' wife, who dares to stop me?"
After saying that, she took Zhan Miao's wrist and walked into the mansion.
