Chapter 24: Second Entry to the Criminal Department

Assassin?!

The teacup in Zhu Youji's hand almost overturned, and Xiao Jing glanced at him, which was also deeply uncomfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sword, the assassin, turned out to be such a bureau!

It turns out that he is the biggest culprit in this game?

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said indifferently: "Last night's incident has not been spread in the palace, I don't know how Liu Aiqing heard about it?" ”

"This?" Liu Ji didn't think that the emperor would ask such a question, but he thought that above the court, all attention would only be shifted to the assassin, and who would care how he knew.

"This morning, when the minister was on the way to the court, he happened to meet Sun Zhan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he told the minister that there was an assassin in the palace last night, because he was called to the yamen as an errand early."

"So, Sun Zan hasn't seen the assassin yet, and Liu Aiqing doesn't know who the assassin is?"

Zhu Youzhu took a pen and paper while asking, and wrote on it:

The female bachelor did not return last night.

When Xiao Jing saw it, he quickly pretended to pack up the folds and disposed of the paper he had written.

Liu Ji didn't know the mystery behind this, and only cared about his own words, "Chen, although I don't know, I heard that the assassin has been stabbed in both shoulders. ”

Zhu Youji's pen and ink in his hand were full of paper.

But I heard Liu Ji continue: "Jinyiwei will definitely come to report to the emperor soon." Just now, the emperor told the emperor that he knew about it, so the emperor must have known that the assassin was ......"

"I don't know." Zhu Youzhu interrupted him, "It seems that I and Liu Aiqing are not talking about the same thing. ”

Liu Ji was surprised and asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"There was another incident in the palace last night that made me very unhappy. The female bachelor who was personally enshrined by the royal pen," Zhu Youzhu paused and continued, "I went out of the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was so good that I didn't return at night. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji's eyes widened, where is the emperor's heart hurting, it is clear that he intends to protect him! After a long night, compared to the assassination of the Son of Heaven, this crime is just a trivial matter.

While Liu Ji was still stunned, Zhu Youzhu wrote again: Find Ma Cong, change Yingzhong.

Xiao Jing made a note in his heart that now he only needs to find an excuse to retire so that he can arrange things.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ji said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the female bachelor is the ritual of the harem, and the ministers dare not say much." Now the top priority is that someone assassinated the saint last night, since the emperor didn't know about it, it is better to go to Beizhen Fusi with his ministers, try the assassin, and make a decision as soon as possible! ”

"Assassins?" Zhu Youzhu sneered, "Aiqing keeps talking about assassins, but why hasn't this assassin even seen my face?" ”

"It must have been the forbidden army who did their duty loyally and stopped the assassin early, so that they didn't disturb the holy driver."

Zhu Youzhu was tired of playing Tai Chi with him, and said with a chuckle: "Since I was not disturbed, this matter will end here, and the assassin will be imprisoned forever, so good?" ”

Forever imprisoned in prison, of course, the next thing to do is to let Jin Yiwei confirm the identity of the assassin, so that Shen Qionglian will never turn over from now on. Liu Ji was proud in his heart, and he didn't forget to pat his ass, "The emperor is wise!" The emperor is so generous, it is a great fortune for the country! ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed, turned his head sideways and said to Xiao Jing: "I'm a little hungry, you go and ask the queen to make some food, and I'll go later." ”

Xiao Jing took the opportunity to step back.

Liu Ji was also about to retire, so that he could go to the Zhenfu Division to nail Shen Qionglian's identity, but was stopped by Zhu Youji:

"Liu Aiqing cares so much about me, and I am really moved. Today's weather is fine, and the begonia flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, so I invite you to go and enjoy it, okay? ”

The emperor broke away Xiao Jing and left him behind, was he buying time for Shen Qionglian so that Xiao Jing could go to Jinyiwei to do some work?

Liu Ji thought so, but how dare he shirk it, and he was busy and timidly to keep up.

………………

Besides, Xiao Jing hurried to make arrangements, first silenced the people on duty at the gate of the palace yesterday, and bit to death if he hadn't seen the female bachelor come back.

Then immediately rushed to the North Town Fusi.

Fortunately, Beizhen Fusi directly obeyed the emperor's orders, and Xiao Jing went with the token, and it should not be difficult to rescue Li Mu'er.

But just before Xiao Jing arrived, there were already uncertainties in the Zhenfu Division.

Where is Li Mu'er still here.

It is said that the inner guards of Jinyiwei were just temporarily detained in Beizhen Fusi last night, and according to the criminal law, it is a big crime to assassinate the emperor, and he should be transferred to the criminal department for detention, and then the three divisions will be tried.

Beizhen Fusi was originally handling the case approved by the emperor, but Xiao Jing was a step late.

It seems that someone had premeditated and escorted her away as soon as it was dawn.

To negotiate with the Criminal Department, Xiao Jing does not have such a big right. had to rush back to the palace to tell Zhu Youzhi first.

As soon as Xiao Jing left, Ma Cong and Mu Bin also hurried to the yamen.

It was also informed that the female bachelor had been transferred to the penal department.

Ma Cheng turned around and punched the pillar.

If only he had been here sooner.

If only he could have seen Mu Bin earlier.

If he hadn't gotten drunk last night.

Mu Bin also felt ashamed, and went to Mafu to find Ma Cong without returning home after today's shift change, but was told by the family that Ma Cong had not woken up yet, and asked him to wait in the hall. But when Ma Wensheng went home, he hadn't woken up yet. Ma Wensheng has always been strict with his son, and rushed into his room with Mu Bin and reprimanded him. Mu Bin waited for Ma Wensheng to leave before he hurriedly said to Ma Cong: "Cong, something happened to the female bachelor." ”

Ma Cong was dressing after washing, and his clothes were almost torn when he heard the words, "What happened to her?" What happened? Did you go back to the palace late last night? ”

Mu Bin shook his head, lowered his throat and said, "It's to assassinate the emperor!"

Ma Cong's heart sank, "How is it possible!" Where is she now? ”

"In the Imperial Prison."

Ma Cong rushed out of the door without saying a word, and Mu Bin followed briskly behind, while reporting the situation for him:

"It is said that he is holding a double sword to assassinate in the Qianqing Palace."

"But I was stopped by the guards."

"She was stabbed in both shoulders."

"The wound is deep."

"Fortunately, I was on duty and had already wrapped up her wounds."

Ma Cong's face turned blue and purple for a while when he heard this, and he suddenly shouted, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier!" ”

Mu Bin hurriedly shut up, and inevitably slandered in his heart: Who told you to be greedy? Look at the smell of alcohol in your body.

But Mu Bin didn't expect that things would develop so quickly, and it was only a long time before the person was taken away. Knowing that there would be such a change, he should have rushed into the stables earlier!

"I'm going to enter the palace to see the emperor, you go back to rest first." Ma Cong threw down these words, ran out of the yamen, and disappeared without a trace.

Mu Bin suddenly felt that this female bachelor was not saved after all, looking at Ma Cong's nervousness, it seems that his feelings for her are not just as simple as old acquaintances.

…………………

Li Mu'er went around in a circle, but returned to the original point, returned to the Criminal Department, returned to the identity of an assassin, and also met his old friend, He Qiaoxin.

He Qiaoxin was in the habit of going to the criminal department to inspect first, but he didn't expect to see the assassin half a year ago again today, and he had been stopping the female bachelor appointed by the emperor, Lord Shen.

When he came to prison, he was angry when he saw her, and he immediately asked: "What a female bachelor, the country is easy to change, and her temperament is difficult to change." The first time this official saw you on an errand in the Qianqing Palace, he privately proposed to the emperor that he should not keep you. If it was really guessed by the official, I knew that there would be another today, and the official should have admonished him to death, and you couldn't be left! ”

Li Mu'er was half-asleep, had just experienced the repeated bumps on the way, and was very weak at the moment, and asked on the ground, "Lord He?" How are you? Am I not in the Pacification Division? How ...... it?"

"You have committed the crime of assassination three times and twice, and the emperor will not allow you again this time, and you will be sent to the Criminal Department for investigation, and then the three divisions will review your capital crime!" He Qiaoxin answered with hatred.

"Your Majesty?" Li Mu'er's dry lips moved, heh, going around and around, maybe it has been just a dream of Li Mu'er in the Criminal Department in the past six months.

However, are all the bits and pieces of the past six months fake?

Is his gentle treatment fake?

Is it fake that he protects each other everywhere?

Her happiness is sweet, is it fake?

Her white fungus, her brother, her palace guard, her Xingwang brother, her hosta flower, her brother Gong, are they fake?

No! They were so real, they were so good to her, how could they be fake?

Only then did he come to his senses.

I only heard He Qiao Xinfu say again: "Do you know that after the emperor made you a royal attendant, he personally looked for this official. The dignified Son of Heaven, for your sake, I actually went to the official's house in person, explained in every way, guaranteed in every way, and showed favor in every way. Now you're ...... The emperor must be sad, he actually saw you wrong! ”

"Your Majesty?" Li Mu'er repeated softly, pursed her lips and moved.

The wound had already cracked open again because of the toss on the road, but Li Mu'er didn't care about the pain.

She looked at the kind-eyed but indignant old man He in front of her, and struggled to stand up, and blood flowed down her arms because of the exertion of her hands.

He Qiaoxin thought that she was going to fight to the death, so she couldn't help but take a step back. Unexpectedly, she knelt down in front of him and kowtowed respectfully three times.

He Qiaoxin was puzzled, frowning, "You...... Hmph, bachelor girl, why is that? If you do commit this heinous crime again, the old man can't help you. ”

Li Mu'er raised her head and looked directly at him, and said seriously: "Lord He, I never wanted to be this female bachelor. I stayed with the emperor, and I never wanted to kill him again. I know you won't believe me when I say anything, after all, I have a criminal record. But I still have to defend myself, Lord He, this time I was really wronged, what happened last night was too strange, it was really not my intention! ”

Although He Qiaoxin was stern, he had some doubts in his heart. has been safe and quiet for so long, and I heard that she is also abiding by her duties in the palace, conscientious, and even talented and accomplished, why did she suddenly want to assassinate again?

And she is on an errand with the emperor close at hand, why do she need to go to the Qianqing Palace to assassinate the emperor while he is staying in Kunning Palace? Could it be that she doesn't know the emperor's whereabouts? All of this doesn't make sense.

still remembers that when she was in the Criminal Department, she would rather die than open her mouth, and her courage to do things alone, but he really saw it. If she really did it this time, why bother to explain?

After calming down and thinking about it, and hearing Li Mu'er's sincere words, He Qiaoxin still believed in this little girl in his heart.

Thinking of this, He Qiaoxin's tone softened slightly, and he asked calmly: "Since you know that you have a criminal record, you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, how did you cause this trouble?" ”

"Lord He, I was framed." Li Mu'er shook her head helplessly and gritted her teeth to reply.
