Chapter 455: A Big Pair of Hands
Because the prince is related to the Chai family, Fang Xiaoyu's interest in him has increased exponentially. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, however, there was one thing that made her very concerned. It seems that someone is deliberately confusing the various rumors of this prince, otherwise even if the prince did the heinous crimes in other countries, there would not be so many versions of his growth process. If no one deliberately created these rumors and spread them one by one, Fang Xiaoyu would not believe it.
Then, there was the corpse that was very similar to the corpse of the old prince, and the owner of the corpse came from the old palace maid that Ye Qiu had just asked not long ago.
Ye Qiu keenly noticed that someone seemed to be deliberately guiding him to track down the things that the prince had done back then, and guiding him to get closer to the truth. Therefore, he easily found the old palace maid who had served in the cold palace, and after getting everything he wanted to know, the old palace maid was killed. All of these things are like having a pair of invisible hands pulling these stories to know.
Therefore, Ye Qiu didn't know how to report what he found to Fang Xiaoyu for a while. This kind of truth that others deliberately exposed to him, if you want to say that there is no reason for this, even he doesn't believe it.
The cause of the old palace maid's death was two needle marks on the neck, and the post-mortem said that the needle inserted from here may have been coated with anesthesia or other drugs, and a needle behind the ear is the custom of the Wind Country, which is the so-called suppression of grievances.
Since it is a soul that suppresses grievances, it itself proves that this person's death was unjust. In addition, the other party is just an old palace maid with no power, no power and no background, and she is still the kind that has been out of the palace for a long time, so there is no taboo. He dissected the corpse and found that the old palace maid's body was densely packed with hundreds of needles, and the death was terrifying.
And the murderer's method is very ingenious, there is no scar on the corpse, hundreds of needles pierced into the body, how can there be no relative needle, so, judging from the distribution of needles and the direction, after shaving the old palace maid's hair, it was found that the scalp was densely covered with red and black needle eyes. At that time, he pretended to vomit himself.
These needles are distributed in the body, and it is impossible to form this appearance without special weapons, so after listening to Ye Qiu's description, she consulted a lot of classics, and finally let her find out that decades ago, there was a sect in Da Zhou that used a secret weapon that was as thin as a cow's hair to kill people, called Qianhua Wanye Needle. And Fang Xiaoyu also found that the principle of this needle is similar to the rainstorm pear flower needle in her memory.
When she first heard Xu San tell the cause of Lao Muwang's death, she just listened to it a little familiar, that faint sense of familiarity, but she never remembered where she had come into contact with this so-called death method. It wasn't until Xu San deliberately mentioned out loud in front of Old Mu that she might know the reason for Old Mu's death because she wanted to give her a dismount, that she suddenly connected Old King Mu with the prince of the Wind Country, and thought of the death of the old palace maid mentioned by Ye Qiu.
The reason why she insisted on seeing the corpse of Lao Mu Wang with her own eyes was because she wanted to confirm her guess.
In fact, her guess did come true.
And the reason why she suspected that Lao Mu's death was related to the old emperor of the Great Zhou was because Lao Mu's body was still intact in the ice coffin until this moment.
If the corpse of the old King Mu was not preserved on the white jade cold ice bed, it was not dropped by King Mu afterwards and placed in the ice coffin for preservation. If the old Mu King is buried in the ground, sooner or later, one day, the corpse will rot and then turn into bones.
Flesh can be corrupted and become nourishment for the land. But the thin needles in the body don't. Once someone sees the corpse of Lao Mu Wang and sees that his bones are stuffed with fine needles, then the cause of Lao Muwang's death will be easily guessed, and it will be easy for people to notice the thousands of flowers and needles, and notice how the Shocking Gate collapsed more than forty years ago.
It's like Xiao Jin inadvertently knew that the old emperor had induced his illegitimate brother to destroy the gate and bring back a thousand flowers and needles, but he was crossed the river and demolished the bridge, not only did he not fulfill his promise, but also robbed the man's beloved woman. This kind of thing, after all, is impossible to hide from someone, once it is known by someone with a heart, some plans will have twists and turns.
Therefore, after inspecting the corpse of the old Mu Wang, he asked the King Mu with a smile who was the person who proposed to put the corpse of the old Mu Wang on the white jade cold ice bed for preservation.
And King Mu replied that it was the old emperor.
All this, coupled with Fang Xiaoyu's 'cranky thoughts' who like to be whimsical when they have nothing to do, it seems that things are not difficult to guess.
And Xiao Jin's admission proves that her guess is not wrong.
Although she remembered it at the moment, Ye Qiu's experience in the Wind Country, the various clues he brought back, and the involvement between him and the old Mu King of the Great Zhou, whether all this was just a simple coincidence, she kept doubts about it.
"I see." Xiao Jin listened to Fang Xiaoyu tell about the corpse of the old palace maid that Ye Qiu saw in the Wind Country, because the servant had already dissected the corpse at that time, so it was not unreasonable for Fang Xiaoyu to suspect such a similar death.
However, it is difficult for Xiao Jin to have a real feeling.
When he knew that Lao Muwang's death was likely to be related to his father, his feelings were very complicated.
Lao Mu Wang is his royal brother, although he was born later and is about the same age as his brother's son, but the fact that they are brothers is irrefutable.
Over the years, Xiao Jing has been looking for the murderer of Brother Wang, even if he has been disappointed again and again, but he has never given up for more than ten years.
He has also been helping Xiao Jing find all kinds of possible clues, but he really didn't think that Brother Wang's death would really be related to his father.
My father had many sons and daughters, the older ones like King Yun and King Meng, who were seventy or eighty, and the younger ones who were in their twenties, thirties and forties, like him. Because the martial arts inherited by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty are more powerful than those of the ordinary Jianghu sects, it is not a problem to strengthen the body, so even if the father is nearly 100 years old, it is not a problem for the night emperor to have a few daughters. The child is still being born, he is small, but there are many people who are smaller than him. At this time, he still had several younger brothers and sisters who had just been born, and the age gap between siblings was eighty or ninety years old.
Therefore, the father does not love his children. All his children are just tools at his disposal. For the sake of his country, he can sacrifice any of his 'loved' children at will. What's more, those grandchildren are countless, and he can't remember even a few of his faces.
However, when this naked reality is in front of you, even if you are clear in your heart on weekdays, you think that you can calmly accept such a status quo, but in fact, he still overestimates himself. So he couldn't tell whether this indescribable feeling in his heart was anger or sadness.
Old King Mu. His royal brother. He's a good old man with integrity.
Such a man, born into the royal family, is his misfortune.
Maybe he is smart and unwilling to get involved in the whirlpool of the prince's succession, or maybe he is really free and easy and disdainful of those intrigues. He was obviously far away from the imperial court, away from those fights and entanglements, thinking that if he indulged in the rivers and lakes and became a hero of the sword world, he would be able to get rid of the shackles of those who were royal people. But people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts. No matter how he hid, how he escaped, how he took himself out and walked far away, but there were always people who did not let him go, and in the end he died under the fall of imperial power and became a victim of his own relatives fighting for power and profit.
He was always thinking now, did Brother Wang know that his death was actually caused by his good father? Maybe it's just to reach some unspeakable secret?
He hoped that he would know that he could see the faces of these so-called relatives clearly. He wished he hadn't known, because what a painful blow it would have been for a good old man.
"Your Highness, it's better to be careful, your old emperor is a master who doesn't recognize the six relatives of the country for the sake of power. Compared to your old emperor, we are a good man. Fang Xiaoyu sneered.
Xiao Jin wanted to laugh but couldn't.
His father can sacrifice Brother Mu, and naturally he can also sacrifice King Yun, King Meng, and even him. What he has to guard against is not only all the pressure from the outside world, but also the knives that his relatives may stab in the back from time to time.
The knife was extremely sharp, but the blood that flowed out was cold.
"However, it is undeniable that your old emperor is a man of man. Ruthless and can be exploited by anyone. The so-called wives, children, courtiers, and ordinary people, even their own parents, can be pushed out to death without frowning or blinking. As long as you can maintain your position, as long as you can expand your territory, nothing can be abandoned, nothing can be abandoned. There was no disdain in Fang Xiaoyu's tone. If it is only about the emperor, such a person is the most suitable. It's a pity that this is not a troubled time, and there is no room for him to play.
"You seem to admire him?" Xiao Jin looked at Fang Xiaoyu's expression with a complicated expression.
"I hate him. I hate him very much. I hate it, I can't wait for him to be divided into five horses and die immediately in the next moment, and there is no place to bury him. Fang Xiaoyu sneered and continued: "Although I hate him, it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the wisdom and patience of the emperor he is. ”
Xiao Jin frowned.
"I hate him because I don't have the same goals as him, I don't have his ambition, I don't have his ambition, I don't have the courage to give up everything for the sake of the country. If I were him, if I stood on his side, if I had the same ambition as he wanted to dominate the world......"
Fang Xiaoyu raised his head, looked into Xiao Jin's eyes and said, "Perhaps, I will be more cruel, more domineering, and more invincible than him, and I will not give anyone a chance to disobey me." The so-called those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, your father, he is using his own way to fulfill the meaning of this sentence. This war has nothing to do with justice, only about winning or losing. ”
"I should be glad that you have no ambition to compete for the world. Otherwise, who can stop you? Xiao Jin smiled wryly. He was indeed glad that in addition to Fang Xiaoyu's somewhat domineering personality, she simply scoffed at the matter of power, otherwise, with her martial arts, with her ability to predict the unknown, and with her endless means, who would be able to stop her?
In this world, although there are very few women as emperors, it is not nothing. If Fang Xiaoyu wants to, first of all, he has a background that can move forward steadily.
Isn't the emperor of the Great Moon Dynasty just a woman?
But Xiao Jin didn't understand. Fang Xiaoyu is not without ambition, but she is tired of it.
If she hadn't been an empress in a certain life, and hadn't experienced the helplessness of being an emperor, she was afraid that she would also be a little interested in fighting for power and profit. However, when she thought of those endless criticisms, endless courts, endless nagging, and endless heart, her heart of fighting for power and profit was decisively strangled to death by her in the cradle.
This kind of thankless work killed her and stopped doing it.
What's so good about being an emperor? If you do it well, that's what you should do, and if you don't do it well, it's all your fault. When Fang Xiaoyu was the queen back then, in the face of a group of ministers who were chattering like sparrows, as well as those people who were never satisfied, she really wanted to shout, fuck you, I'm your mother!
It's a pity that when you are an emperor, you can't even say such things, otherwise you will be impeached by the minister, and you will be recommended to death at every turn. If the people listen, this paranoia of victimization will not stop. Or is His Majesty the Emperor not wanting us anymore? Has His Majesty the Emperor disliked us? Why are we so miserable, and then we resist and rebel, and we are annoyed to death by these people.
Being a Ming monarch may not be able to last through the ages, but if you are a tyrant, congratulations, you will be scolded for thousands of years.
Fang Xiaoyu was afraid of being the emperor, and he couldn't understand why these people couldn't think about it so much, so he had to find this anger.
However, everyone has their own problems. As the saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and everyone's mind is different, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.
She is not interested in the throne anymore, but since others have it, it does not prevent her from living.
To tell the truth, if the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wasn't too ambitious and always had the idea of Dacheng, no matter how cruel he was, what did it matter to her?
But her father is the god of war of Dacheng, although he is nominally a general stationed in Beiyan, but in fact, he is now transferred to the capital, and wherever there is a war in the future, he will have to fight wherever the emperor points out.
And the Fengtian Emperor of the Dayu Dynasty is a little cheap, but he doesn't have the heart to fight everywhere, at most he fights with the emperor of their old Ye family, and he has nothing to do to send something to stimulate the opponent, and the matter is over.
The national strength of other countries is not as good as Dacheng, and if they want to fight, they have to weigh whether they have the courage and courage to fight. Only the Great Zhou is endless, and the ghost is not gone. It is just not to start a large-scale war, and the northwest has provoked twice a year, which is simply annoying.
The life of her general's is very valuable. Instead of being played around all the time, it's better to solve it all at once. (To be continued.) )
