In the past, although Yun Yiting had also dealt with many difficult cases, none of them had involved the harem, and since it involved the harem this time, he was inevitably extra careful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In general, the events that happened in the harem were nothing more than the concubines' competition for favor, calculation and suppression, but women sometimes played this set of things more ruthlessly than men, and it was difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.

Thinking that this matter involved a woman he had always respected, Queen Jingzhuang, he was even more afraid to relax at all.

However, the investigation of the case is nothing else, and subjective emotions must not be added in advance, so he has to force himself to talk about the matter.

Yun Yiting thought about it while going back to the yamen, and immediately began to sort out the matter after returning to the yamen.

He organized an investigative team, which included his old partner, Zheng Yusong, a secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

This improvised investigative team was set up on the same day, and after it was formed, everyone sat down to discuss the case until late at night.

Since there was no more evidence, everyone had to preliminarily judge the incident as an "accident".

What's next to make a breakthrough? Everyone couldn't think of it for a while. Yun Yiting saw that it was late at night, so he announced the adjournment of the meeting, asking everyone to go back and rest quickly.

Zheng Yusong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, did not leave immediately, he sat down in the seat next to Yun Yiting, and said: "Actually, the lower officials still tend to think that this matter is caused by Zhang Zhaoyi's ghost, but there is no evidence for the time being. ”

"I also think so, but no matter how reasonable my personal speculation is, it has no legal effect, and the law is about evidence." Yun Yiting sighed.

This "lack of evidence" also includes their failure to figure out the true purpose of Zhang's move.

If she is to compete for favor and covet the queen's position, then her approach is too extreme and too bold.

If it weren't for that, then what other motives did she have?

People's thoughts are sometimes very subtle, and it is difficult to understand the language and motives of their deep hearts if they do not have a special understanding of their temperament and personality. Men look at women more like a mountain, hazy and plausible, and it is especially difficult to make judgments.

When the emperor gave Yun Yiting the task of investigating the case, he left a sentence: "Don't wronged the good guys, don't let the bad guys get away with it, and close the case within half a month as soon as possible." This simple sentence is a great challenge for Yun Yiting.

What person who investigates a case doesn't want the good guys to be wronged and the bad guys to be brought to justice? However, the hardest person to judge is the kind of person who you can't tell if it's good or bad.

Moreover, even if it is the same person, there are contradictions and two sides in him, and it is difficult for outsiders to strictly distinguish between good and bad.

People are complex, and the human heart is even more complex.

Yun Yiting has been in the court for fifteen years, and he has already become a human spirit, so he naturally understood this truth early.

Looking at the names of the people at the scene of the crime listed on the white paper, Yun Yiting rubbed his forehead.

These people have all been interrogated by him repeatedly, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come up with a new answer after asking them twenty times.

But they are still the most important people present.

But their answers did little to help him judge the case, after all, it happened in an instant, and none of them noticed.

Yun Yiting stood up and paced silently around the room.

Empress Jingzhuang is the mother of the crown prince Zhao Yuliang, and I don't know how the prince will react when he learns about it.

Thinking of this, Yun Yiting immediately came to the case and wrote a letter to Zhao Yuliang.

Let Zhao Yuliang also know about this matter, Zhao Yuliang is smart and decisive, and he is a person who can uphold justice, maybe he can help find out about this case.

After handing over the letter to his subordinates to mail it, Yun Yiting felt a little more settled, and then took the carriage back to his mansion.

……………

This year, the flood in the south is the worst in nearly 30 years, and Prince Zhao Yuliang and his disaster relief team travel to the disaster relief site almost every day, sometimes not having time to drink a glass of water or eat a meal for most of the day.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Yuliang, who was directing the disaster relief in Daming Bay, suddenly heard someone on the opposite shore shouting: "Your Highness, there is an urgent letter sent to you from the capital. ”

Because of the flooding, the messenger could not deliver the letter at all, and there were no spare boats at this time.

Zhao Yuliang thought for a while, and said to the man on the other side: "You tied the letter to a small square stone, and then shot it with a bow and arrow. ”

The man was ordered to do so immediately, and the letter was shot to the side of the crown prince Zhao Yuliang safely.

Prince Zhao Yuliang immediately took it apart and looked at it.

It was written by Empress Jingzhuang, and the letter roughly told him about Zhang Zhaoyi's fall and miscarriage and Zhang Zhaoyi's belief that the incident was caused by her overthrow.

After Zhao Yuliang finished reading it, his already serious face became even more serious.

Even if Empress Jingzhuang understated it, Zhao Yuliang could also imagine the current situation in the palace.

There is no doubt that Empress Jingzhuang is now in danger.

But now that the disaster here is so serious, it's really hard to get out of the way.

Zhao Yuliang took a deep breath.

A subordinate hurried over and said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness, Lord Zhang and Lord Liu were swept away by the flood when they were helping to save people. ”

Zhao Yuliang hurriedly asked: "Where was it washed away?" Can you send someone to save it? ”

The subordinate hurriedly replied: "At the corner not far ahead, there are already five people who are well versed in water and have jumped down to look for it, but they have not been found yet. ”

Zhao Yuliang immediately strode towards the scene of the incident.

The corner in front of you is the confluence of the two rivers, and it is the place where the water is most turbulent, and if you don't know how to fall down, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to survive.

Zhao Yuliang stood on a large rock above the corner, looking carefully at the river and all around.

Soon he had a clue, and he immediately sent twenty men who knew how to swim in water to intercept him four miles downstream.

That's all we can do now.

The twenty men immediately sped downstream.

When they reached the place designated by the prince, they plunged headlong into the turbulence.

About two quarters of an hour later, Master Zhang and Master Liu were carried ashore by the men who jumped into the water to find them.

After some rescue, their lives were saved.

Only then did everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But the disaster was still very serious, so everyone didn't dare to rest longer, and only drank a few sips of tea and continued to help with the disaster relief.

Zhao Yuliang ordered one of his subordinates to take out the map and watch it in the faint light.

Before long, Zhao Yuliang pointed to a certain place on the map and instructed several assistant ministers around him one by one.

Zhao Yuliang was doing his work instructions while thinking about whether he should rush back to the capital immediately.

There is no doubt that he will definitely be blamed by the emperor and criticized by the officials and the people if he rushes back without the emperor's instructions and the disaster in the south is still very serious, but if he does not go back, he is very worried that something will happen to Empress Jingzhuang.
