Chapter 244: Arrest

When the moon was full, the palace was silent, except for the eunuchs who patrolled the night.

After Zhao Gou finished the recital, he glanced at Wang Jue, who had been waiting on the side.

"Wang Aiqing, it's getting late, it's better to go back to the house to rest early."

"Back to Your Majesty, the prince fell ill in Wechen's school, Wechen was anxious, the prince didn't wake up, and Wechen couldn't leave with peace of mind." Wang Jue bowed and said.

"Well, it's not an hour or two." Zhao Gou said absent-mindedly, his mind was full of Concubine Shu's panicked face, and Zhao Yunwen's pale face, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Yunwen was very different from those other princes and princesses, and the more he felt irritable, if Concubine Shu really betrayed him, he would have been a fool for more than ten years, even ordinary people couldn't accept it, let alone a high king.

"Your Majesty, the slave is waiting for you to rest, and the slave will call you if there is something." Li Gong is fair.

"Hmm." Zhao stood up

A black figure quietly jumped down from the roof and landed in front of the Tai Hospital, and before the two guards could speak, they were choked off by the man in black and fell aside.

The man in black gently pushed open the door and pulled the bodies of the two guards in, he watched Fang Yuankang walk out, there was no one inside, and quickly walked to the table, the man in black lifted the lid of the jar, the light flashed in his eyes, and after sucking up the blood in the bowl with a cotton cloth, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured the red liquid inside into the bowl, closed the lid, and turned around and walked out.

The fire outside the house was bright, and the eyes of the man in black suddenly widened, and he froze. Step back.

One of the guards pushed open the door, and it was pitch black, and there was no one to be seen, only two corpses on the ground.

The guard walked up to the two men, reached out and sniffed, and saw that they had already lost their breath.

"Click".

The guard's head was twisted behind him, and he saw a pair of cold and unforgiving black eyes.

As soon as the black-clothed man let go, the guard fell to the ground, and the three corpses were all blinded by their eyes.

His eyes scanned the room. No one.

The man in black stepped into the house with one foot.

"Don't move."

A sword rested on the neck of the man in black. The body of the sword reflected the moonlight, shining with a bloodthirsty cold light.

The figure of the man in black flickered, and he disappeared under the sword.

Ji Changge was shocked, as if he didn't expect the martial arts of the man in black to be so strong. Even the sword on the neck can escape lightly.

The man in black had just jumped onto the roof. A skinny man in black slapped him head-on!

"Bang!"

The man in black took a slap in his hand. The two retreated dozens of meters at the same time.

Ji Changge also jumped onto the eaves, stood behind the man in black, and formed a front and back formation with Uncle Qian.

The man in black didn't say a word. Directly at Ji Changge, among the two opponents, it was obvious that Ji Changge's skills were slightly weaker.

Seeing the situation, Uncle Qian hurriedly came, and the three of them fought together.

Fang Guangkang and Wang Jue rushed over, followed by a group of guards.

"Catch that thief!"

A group of guards surrounded the three of them, but they were only around, and the three of them moved too quickly to intervene at all.

In the face of the joint attack of Ji Changge and Uncle Qian, the man in black gradually showed fatigue, and was finally kicked to the ground by Uncle Qian, and the guards rushed up and trapped the man in black.

Ji Changge took off the black cloth on the face of the man in black, and a somewhat unfamiliar face appeared in front of everyone.

"Ah, how is it Cao Dugong! Why didn't the Governor come out without putting on makeup today, this slammed down, and I almost didn't recognize you! It's really offended. Ji Changge pretended to be surprised.

Cao Xi looked at Ji Changge's knowingly asked face, gritted his teeth and said, "Then you don't want to let go of this overlord." ”

Ji Changge smiled slightly: "Don't worry." ”

Cao Xi glanced at Ji Changge hatefully, and scolded in his heart: "You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!" Scum who bullies less with more! Beast! Scum! ”

Wen Jing and Concubine Shu walked over, and when Concubine Shu saw Cao Xi who was tied up, her face was shocked, and she said loudly, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up and untie Cao Dugong! ”

Everyone knelt down and saluted the concubine.

Ji Changge owes himself: "Niangniang, Father-in-law Cao sneaked into the Tai Hospital late at night and killed three guards, and he can't be relaxed." ”

"This palace will let you release people, you must be mistaken." Concubine Shu was very dissatisfied with Ji Changge's attitude, and her eyes were full of anger.

"Noisy, what's going on?"

Zhao Gou walked over, and Wang Jue followed behind him.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." The crowd fell to their knees again.

Zhao Gou glanced at Concubine Shu lightly, and Concubine Shu's eyes panicked. Keep your head down.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Cao broke into the Tai Hospital in a night suit and killed three guards." Ji Chang sang.

Zhao Gouhu glanced at Ji Changge and Uncle Qian suspiciously, and said lightly: "How did you appear here?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the dragon's blood has been changed." Fang Yuankang hurriedly walked out and said.

Zhao Gou's face turned pale: "Show me." ”

Fang Yuankang stepped forward and raised the bowl in his hand in front of Zhao Gou: "Holy Lord, look, this is obviously fresh blood, your dragon blood has been placed for a few hours, and it should obviously be coagulated." ”

Zhao Gou turned around and glanced at Cao Xi coldly, and then at Concubine Shu.

Ji Changge raised Cao Xi's hand: "Your Majesty, look, there is a new wound on Gonggong Cao's hand, and the wound is still bleeding. ”

Zhao Gou looked around at the crowd, looked at the faces one by one, and suddenly felt a heavy tiredness in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the slave was wronged, the slave saw Ji Changge sneaking into the palace quietly with his minion, so he followed them over, the three guards were killed by Ji Changge, the slave saw it with his own eyes, but it was a pity that he was framed by them by his master and servant who joined forces to plot, the slave has been loyal to His Majesty for many years, please believe in the slave." Cao Xi said with a sharp throat and kowtowing.

Ji Changge's brows furrowed slightly, this dog thing actually took a bite back, and then looked at Zhao Gou's gaze, as if he believed his words.

"Say, why did you murder King Yan?" Zhao Gou looked at Ji Changge coldly and said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will never dare to murder His Royal Highness King Yan." Ji Changge knelt down and said.

"Then why are you here late at night? Don't say you came here because you care about Yoon-moon's body. Zhao Gou then asked.

Ji Changge was silent, he did intend to say so, but the emperor obviously wouldn't believe it, his relationship with King Yan hadn't been good enough yet.

"Your Majesty, how did the three guards die, the autopsy will know, you might as well let Lord Wen examine it." Wang Jue stepped forward.

Zhao Gouwei bowed his head: "Wen Aiqing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Wen Jing finished speaking, he walked over to the bodies of the three guards and began to examine them.

"All three bodies were killed by someone with their necks broken, and the deceased's neck was twisted on the right side, and there were four fingernail marks on the right side of the deceased's neck, indicating that the perpetrator was left-handed."

Zhao Gou glanced at Cao Xi, who looked a little flustered: "I remember, you are left-handed, right?" ”

Cao Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's true that the slave is left-handed, this doesn't prove that the murderer is a slave, and the left-handed is not a light slave alone, this Lord Wen and Ji Changge are in the same group, so she naturally helps him speak." ”

Wen Jing walked to Cao Xi's side: "Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to search Lord Cao's body." ”

Cao Xi's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense, the slave has served you loyally for eight years." ”

Zhao Gou's eyebrows showed impatience, and he waved his hand and said, "Search." ”

Cao Xi was held down by several guards, Wen Jing picked up scissors, cut Cao Xi's clothes expressionlessly, and took out a small bottle from it, which was already a blood-stained handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence, on this veil is the dragon's blood of Your Majesty, and inside this vial is Gonggong Cao's own blood." Wen Jing put two things into Gonggong Li's hands.

Zhao Gou only glanced at it, and then said coldly: "Cao Xi, I treat you well, why do you want to hurt King Yan's life?" ”

Cao Xi was slightly stunned.

"Bold Cao Xi, you actually want to murder the prince, you deserve death!" Concubine Shu pointed at Cao Xi and scolded.

Cao Xi bowed his head: "The old slave deserves death, and he is fascinated by the ghost for a while, please give his majesty a death." ”

"Who told you to do that?" Zhao Gou said coldly.

Cao Xi paused and said: "It is His Royal Highness King Yunze who promised the slaves, if he can become the crown prince, he will definitely let the servants enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, he heard that His Majesty belongs to His Royal Highness King Yan, so he let the servants frame His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"You are so bloody that His Royal Highness King Park has a noble character, and he will definitely not commit such bestial acts." Ji Changge stared at Cao Xidao, Cao Gou wanted to pull Zhao Yunze into the water when he was dying, and his heart could be punished.

Cao Xi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the slave will not escape death, there is no need to lie at all, King Pu is a wolf, and his ambition is not a day." ”

Zhao Gou's face was cloudy, looking at the faces in front of him, it was difficult to distinguish between true and false

"Does Gonggong Cao want to repeat the good scene of Li Dai Taostiff twelve years ago?" Wen Jing smiled.

Cao Xi and Concubine Shu were shocked.

"What twelve years ago, what nonsense did you say, our family has only been in the palace for eight years." Cao Xi sneered, but his expression was no longer calm.

"Then I don't know if Gonggong Cao remembers Liu Junchu?" Wen Jing stared at Cao Xi and asked.

"We don't know each other." Cao Xi said expressionlessly.

Wen Jing turned to Concubine Shu again and said: "Concubine Shu Niangniang must know, Liu Junchu was originally a fellow villager of Concubine Shu, and served Niangniang for two years, and was later beheaded for killing a palace maid. ”

"Yes, that slave relied on the feeling of being a fellow countryman with this palace, so he ignored the law of the country and deserved to die." Shufei Yun said lightly.

Wen Jing turned to Zhao Gou: "Does the emperor still remember Concubine Rong?" ”

Zhao Gou was slightly stunned, and Concubine Rong ...... No one has mentioned these two words for a long time, so long that he can't even remember Concubine Rong's appearance for a while.

"Concubine Rong died of illness more than ten years ago, and Wen Aiqing mentioned her to do something." Zhao Gou's eyes were slightly displeased.

"Doesn't my father want to mention my mother so much? Erchen has always been thinking about his mother. ”

A sad voice rang out. (To be continued......)
