Chapter 454: A Game of Chess
After a pause, Tuoba Gong continued: "Father and Emperor are now in peace, don't disturb again, wait for the Holy Driver to return to Luan tomorrow, and then discuss everything!" ”
Tuoba Gong stood here at this time, like a backbone, hearing him say this, several officials below were naturally happy, after all, someone stood up to preside over the situation, even if the emperor questioned it if it was not handled properly in the future, it was Tuoba Gong who bore the brunt, not these officials who acted on orders.
These people who have been in the officialdom all the year round, like monkey spirits, heard Tuoba Gong say this, quickly nodded in response, and then retired to deal with the matter at hand.
Tuoba Gong took a breath, and then turned his gaze to Qi Jingyun, "King Jin, it's not too early, King Jin should rest early, don't run around in the palace." ”
Qi Jingyun has a smell of alcohol on his body, everyone can naturally smell it, and Qi Jingyun doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the guards in this palace to be killed, whether it is because of disputes in the court or someone who wants to attack the emperor, it has nothing to do with him, a Great Zhou person.
Now that he had Tuoba Gong, he hurriedly left here, and just turned around to leave, but the imperial doctor next to him stepped forward to report that the unconscious guard had woken up, and Tuoba Gong asked him to help him over, and asked him in a deep voice what had just happened.
Hearing Tuoba Gong's inquiry, the guard's eyes unconsciously looked at Qi Jingyun, and he stretched out his hand with trembling hands and pointed at Qi Jingyun, "Yes...... It was King Jin, King Jin killed the guards on duty with me, and let people enter the inner palace! ”
Qi Jingyun listened to the guard's words, his brows frowned slightly, when he came here, the damned ones were already dead, but the person in front of him said that he killed those guards!
Is someone trying to blame him, or is the person in front of you trying to blame him? His guards all died tragically, and he was the only one alive and waiting for the imperial doctor to come to treat him, would all this be too coincidental, as if he was alive to testify against him!
Listening to the guard's words, the Admiral first stood up and scolded, "Bold! You can see who you are talking about! His Royal Highness King Jin can be framed at will by you with empty tongues! ”
The admiral is Tuoba Yu's person, at this time, he naturally stood up to defend Qi Jingyun, and the guard was scolded by him like this, his face became even paler, and he said tremblingly: "The subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense, the injuries on the subordinates' bodies are also caused by His Royal Highness King Jin, how can they see the wrong person!" ”
After all, this matter has changed from the beginning of someone breaking into the palace at night to killing the guards, to His Royal Highness King Jin killing the guards and letting outsiders into the palace without permission, what is the purpose, people dare not think about it again.
Tuoba Gong looked at the guards, he didn't speak for a long time, time passed minute by minute, Lord Admiral still wanted to distinguish two sentences for Qi Jingyun, but Tuoba Gong had already waved his hand, "This prince also believes that His Royal Highness King Jin is not that kind of person!" It's just that now this guard is pointing out that it is reasonable and reasonable, and he should be carefully investigated in order to return King Jin's innocence. ”
Survey? Qi Jingyun sneered, everything today is too coincidental! When he came to the ifgate, he found that the guards on duty that night were dead, and just as he was about to check on him, the guards on patrol happened to find him again.
Tuoba Gong, who was still in a coma in the morning, was able to get the news of the change here as soon as possible, and it happened that the only surviving guard woke up again and identified him as the murderer.
All this is not like a coincidence, but like a bureau that someone is deliberately doing, and if it doesn't alarm the emperor now, it's just that he doesn't want the emperor to start investigating, after all, if he hasn't done it, he hasn't done it, if the emperor sends someone to investigate, he may be able to find out the truth.
But if this matter is returned to the capital, Tuoba Gong will naturally have a way to let his subordinates investigate, and the evidence that should be there will be almost destroyed, and he will not be able to wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Thinking about the power of this, Qi Jingyun lowered his eyes slightly, and looked down at the person in front of him, "You said that this king killed the guards, do you know what this king used to kill them?" ”
"Naturally, with a knife!" The guard said without thinking, Qi Jingyun laughed mockingly when he heard this, "As we all know, this king only uses a sword when he goes to the battlefield, and in Su Ri, only a folding fan is enough, and this king never uses a knife, because the knife is not elegant enough!" ”
The folding fan opened, Qi Jingyun's eyes showed a cold light, and he said coldly: "Even if you want to blame the trouble, you should investigate the king's preferences!" The Admiral has a saying that is very right, if you frame this king with empty words, can you afford the consequences? ”
A pair of star-like glass eyes narrowed slightly, and there was boundless coldness in his eyes, the guard looked up at Tuoba Gong who was standing aside, gritted his teeth secretly, and still insisted that he saw Qi Jingyun and the guards doing it.
The reason why Qi Jingyun used a knife was because he took advantage of everyone's defenselessness and snatched the knife from the guards.
Seeing that the guard's eyes were a little wandering, Qi Jingyun was even more sure in his heart that this person was lying!
"This king has been drinking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and the palace maids in His Royal Highness the Prince's bedroom can prove that this king has just come out of His Royal Highness the Prince's bedroom for less than a cup of tea."
"From His Royal Highness the Prince's bedroom to Yifumen, even if you are in a hurry, it will take half a cup of tea, you tell this king, how can this king kill more than a dozen people in a row in half a cup of tea, and still do it so quietly?"
Qi Jingyun said that the guard was speechless, and Tuoba Gong asked people to bring the palace maid of the prince's bedroom, and by the way, he also invited His Royal Highness the prince.
The guards took the order and hurried back, and after a while, they hurried back, followed by a thin little palace maid, the little palace maid was not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old, she looked like Zhou Zheng, wearing a palace maid's clothes, and her little face was full of uneasiness.
Qi Jingyun recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was the person he ordered to take care of Tuoba Yu when he left the development of Bayu's bedroom, thinking that it was the person next to Tuoba Yu, he would naturally prove himself realistically, and he would be able to help him clear his suspicion.
So he didn't pay much attention to it, the guards knelt down and saluted, and respectfully said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not come, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had drunk too much and had fallen asleep, and he shouted many times without any response.
The prince fell asleep, and his little guard naturally didn't dare to disturb him, Tuoba Gong just nodded casually when he heard this, Tuoba Yu didn't come, it would be better for him!
If Tuoba Yu is here at this moment, where will it be his turn to deal with these things here? The crown prince is the prince and the future emperor, and his status is naturally not comparable to him as a prince.
