CHAPTER 52—NEUROPATHY

Three days ago, the fourth prince was assassinated on the way to the National Academy of Martial Arts, and a photographer at the scene recorded the whole process of the assassin from shooting to being subdued, and the video was posted on the public network of Daming.

First, who is the boy who bravely saved the Four Princes at gunpoint?

Second, who was the main messenger behind the Assassins?

The reason why the first question is slightly more asked than the second one is because there is a part of the naïve and innocent population who believes that the assassins are just mentally ill people with abnormal brains who shoot the royal family in order to become famous. The other part of the conspiracy theorists has already analyzed the twenty-four suspects at length according to the second question, and yes, none of the remaining twenty-four sons of the emperor's majesty have been left behind.

Compared to the fact that the people could have fun in the assassination without any psychological burden, the officials up and down the court were much more cautious, except for the local officials of the 19th district who once again came out to protest, the Beijing officials in the capital were in a wait-and-see state, they heard about the domineering methods of the four princes in the incident, and wanted to see what kind of attitude the emperor had towards it.

So the emperor slapped them in the face.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Terracotta Division, which are responsible for the security of the capital, are all fined and demoted, and the Imperial History and the Soldiers and Horses Division are all in charge of the Imperial History and the Soldiers and Horses Division. Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division is also a collective punishment and demotion, from the commander to the town of Fu, all of them are gone, and they are all handed down to the end...... In addition to the few unlucky officials who were thrown into the edict by the four princes at the scene, including Song Ne, the priest of the prince who asked the four princes to serve as the new dean of the Guoshu Academy, the emperor also named more officials to assist in the investigation.

At this point, everyone knows that the emperor's majesty was angry because of the assassination of the four princes, and there was the biggest fire in recent years, public opinion was in an uproar, but the Senate and the House of Representatives did not dare to speak, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate wanted to speak, and the old and young in the family pulled their ears and forced them to shut up, the price of goods in the capital is too expensive, and no more fines will be able to open the pot!

It is also the emperor's majesty that the popularity is too high, and the Beijing officials usually can't catch people's hearts in his shadow, and the seventeen print media and countless online media in the Ming Dynasty have a schadenfreude attitude when reporting on the incident, and even the most radical □□ representative of the political line, Li Yindu, a reporter from the "Mingmin Daily" who called for changing the constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic, did not speak ill of the emperor in this news commentary, but said meaningfully: "The lion may push the cub off the cliff, It is expected that they will accelerate their growth and become the new lion king sooner. And not to give them to hyenas. ”

"In the territory of lions, when is it the turn of hyenas to bark?"

…………

……

The new commander, surnamed Li Tingxing, personally presided over the investigation of the assassination incident, and the edict was almost full of people, and the legal society did not really engage in torture to extract confessions, and some had other methods to obtain confessions.

"The position of the assassin has been arranged a long time ago," Xing Yiwei followed behind Zhu Di step by step, "Someone has specially adjusted the order of the audience, and distributed prepared bouquets to everyone in the first row, so that the assassins can use flowers to hide the beam gun." ”

Zhu Di listened calmly as he walked off the flag-raising platform, knowing that his next step was the point. Screening audiences for large-scale events is the norm, and of course the faces that leaders can see cannot be random, it is not unusual for the Academy of Guoshu to do this, but it is strange that it was not carried out as planned. The fourth prince thought, it's really nonsense, Zhu Biao's kid actually mixed into the first row.

Sure enough, Xing Baihu couldn't hide his excitement and continued: "The Guoshu Academy arranged for a small official to guide the audience outside the main gate, the official suddenly suffered from heat stroke that day, and had to entrust the affairs to his colleague Another small official, this second official lacks relevant work experience, listened to the photographer's words, and selected young men and women from the crowd behind to stand in the first row, and I don't know why the luck is so bad, and I picked the assassin with one pick." ”

He said that "bad luck" was naturally the opposite, Jin Yiwei found out that there was something wrong with the two officials, and the photographer was also very suspicious, and followed their interpersonal relationship along the vine to touch the melon, picked a melon and then changed it to other vines according to the old method and then touched it, and the result was obtained in less than 24 hours.

"What did you say?" When Zhu Di heard the name he announced, he was rarely stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Xing Baihu smiled bitterly, wrinkled his young and upright face into an embarrassing shape, and sighed: "Your Highness, you heard it right, in the end, all the clues pointed to His Highness Twenty-Five......"

"Twenty-fifth brother," Zhu Di still expressed disbelief, "he is only fourteen years old!" ”

Zhu Yi, the twenty-fifth prince, except for Zhu Nan, the twenty-sixth prince who died young, is the youngest of the living princes in the imperial family, and the only one who has not been kicked out of the three special regions of the capital, but stayed under the knee of Emperor Zhu to be favored.

Zhu Di is not impressed by this younger brother, the large age gap is one reason, and the other reason is that he is not the same mother. Emperor Zhu wanted to lead by example to promote the integration of aliens and humans, and married several more wives for the first time, for which he is still criticized by feminist organizations.

Zhu Yi's mother is not a human, but a princess of an orc race, and the people of the capital have been gossiping for decades, wanting to know what her bloodline can become, but it is a pity that it is related to the emperor's majesty, and the royal spokesman is not to say it.

And because of the conventional prejudice against aliens in the Ming Dynasty, elves are elegant and noble, but orcs are synonymous with barbarism and stupidity, so half of the orc blood in Zhu Yi's body has attracted a lot of ridicule for him, and Zhu Di knows that his brothers are not less saying strange things behind his back.

But he didn't, he never said that Zhu Yi and his mother Concubine Li were not, in fact, he ignored the mother and son at all, Zhu Yi's age and ranking determined that he could not participate in the competition of his brothers, he stayed under the nose of the emperor in the palace, and it was impossible to develop any decent power, and it was even more impossible to collude with other brothers, the emperor could skin him alive!

Why did Zhu Yi send someone to assassinate him? Zhu Di can't think of a suitable reason, he has always believed that everyone should have a logical motive behind everything they do, Zhu Yi plotted to kill him but didn't get the slightest benefit, what did he do to harm others and himself? Is it really a neurosis?

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked, "Have the results of the investigation been submitted?" ”

"Not yet," Xing Baihu said obediently, "Lord Li asked me to report to the Fourth Highness first." ”

This is the new commander of Jinyiwei Li Yanxing to show him goodwill, Jinyiwei is the private army of the royal family, it is understandable that he wants to please the favored prince, but at this time to engage in such small actions, it seems that these people have not been shocked enough by the emperor's anger, or they are still undercut.

"Do what you have to do." Zhu Di lowered his face and reprimanded, "Don't be smart!" ”

Waiting for Xing Baihu Nuo Nuo to hurriedly retreat, Zhu Di was not in the mood to watch the students' morning exercise anymore, he glanced at Zhu Biao from afar, and slowly paced over with his hands behind his back.
