Chapter 33: Reopening Old Cases
The eyes of many ministers were focused on Wei Tianyue.
"Please!" The emperor raised his hand and motioned for him to speak.
"Erchen wants to mention the Baifu fire case again!" As soon as he finished saying this, many ministers' faces became very surprised, a year ago, because the Three Princes faction was the most likely person to kill the Bai family, but this matter was not necessarily done by the Three Princes, although some people suspected that only the Three Princes could go against the Bai Family, but then the daughter of the Bai family stood up and said in person that the Three Princes saved her, and the suspicion of the Three Princes was cleared, although a year has passed in this case, there is still no result, and it is over, and everyone does not mention it, no one wants to care, Even if it is managed, the eldest prince should be in charge, but seeing that the eldest prince has not spoken out about this matter for a year, and now he suddenly turns over the case again, it is really puzzling. And at this time, shouldn't Wei Tianyue investigate and punish the criminals who robbed the prison? As the first favored woman by Wei Tianyue's side, the matter of the Xi Beauty and the Three Princes is known all over the city, and the person who robbed the criminal Xi Meiren of the Heavenly Prison is probably also closely related to the Three Princes, if it is to suppress the forces of the Three Princes, why not talk about it? The ministers slowly studied the remarks of the great prince in the court with curiosity.
"Isn't it been a year since this happened? How are there any new discoveries now? The emperor frowned slightly and asked, after all, General Bai can be regarded as a brother who was born and died on the battlefield with him, and he only hated that he did not investigate this case clearly in his lifetime and bring the Bai family to justice.
"The family of the son's wife was lost in the fire, and now the servant girl Xiaoqing, who was separated after the fire, has been found, and the fire case of Baifu now has a crucial clue, and the minister's wife and the Bai family's maidservant Xiaoqing hope that the father and emperor can seek justice for the Bai family and clear their grievances!"
"What's the important lead?"
"A waist card!"
"Can you show it?"
"That waist card is now on the handmaid Xiaoqing's body."
"It is rumored that Xiaoqing, the maidservant of the Bai family, is going to court!"
Xiaoqing had been waiting for a long time under the long steps of the Jinluan Palace, and when she heard the words of the eunuch Zhang Gonggong to say that the emperor had summoned her, she excitedly held the waist card in her bag, thinking that she could finally make a little return for General Bai and Madame Bai, but Xiaoqing saw the emperor of the Celestial Empire for the first time, and there was inevitably some nervousness in her heart, and she followed the eunuch Zhang Gonggong's hurried steps to the top of the ladder where the Yellow Emperor sat under the attention of all the ministers in the Jinluan Palace.
"The people's daughter Xiaoqing sees the emperor!" He knelt down on the ground very respectfully, and many ministers were waiting for a good show.
"Do you know any clues about the fire in the White Mansion?"
"The folk girl doesn't know much, but there is a kind of important object, I think it was the subordinates who wanted to harm the Bai family."
"Tell me carefully!"
"A year ago, on the morning of the fire in Baifu, our young lady took me to the street to buy something, but on the way home, we were taken into a sedan chair with our hands covering our mouths and noses, and two men in black held us hostage with knives... The man in black seemed to be aimed at our young lady, we got out of the car and were thrown into a wood, the two men in black chased me and the young lady respectively, the man in black who chased me knocked me unconscious, probably he thought I was dead, and I was separated from our young lady. When I woke up, I found a wooden sign on the grass, and I thought that this wooden sign must be related to the person who chased and killed our young lady, and then I hurriedly followed the footprints left by the way back to the capital in the woods, and rushed back to Baifu, only to find that there was a Baifu in the original place? The place where she has lived with her for more than ten years is already a ruin that has been burned by fire. I thought that Miss had also encountered an accident, I lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a year, and I heard that the eldest lady of the Bai family had come back to rebuild the Bai family, so I decided to come to the capital to find out, but I didn't expect it to be really our young lady! Later, my young lady told me that he was also chased and killed by a black man and almost died, but fortunately, the young lady learned some martial arts with General Bai, and was able to survive until the time to run to Baifu in time, but I didn't expect that there was a fire in Baifu that night, and General Bai and Mrs. Bai hid her in the secret room to escape. ”
After hearing this woman's statement, some ministers couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, and some ministers began to discuss with each other in private, and there was such a thing as blatant pursuit and killing, but a year ago, Bai Qianqian, the eldest lady of the Bai family, didn't mention it, and I heard that she had amnesia.
"What about the wooden signs? Did you bring it today? ”
"Brought! Brought! Xiaoqing nodded excitedly, then took out the white cloth wrapped waist card from the side pocket of his coarse linen clothes and spread out the white cloth.
Gonggong Zhang took the waist card with the white cloth and showed it to the ministers on both sides, and everyone took a closer look at it with bated breath, the color and shape and the lines on it were familiar with the ministers of the three princes or those who had dealings with each other knew who held it. After the eunuch Zhang Gonggong held the token to show the left and right ministers, he walked up the stairs and presented the token to the emperor's side.
"This is..."The emperor fixed his eyes, his eyes widened, his chest rose and fell slightly, and there was a hint of itching in his throat, all of which seemed to be expected.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word!" One of the ministers below leaned slightly to the side, wanting to make an opinion.
"Please!"
The emperor allowed it, and he walked out of the ranks boldly and reassuredly, and said very seriously. "Your Majesty! You need to be aware of this! If the minister is not mistaken, this is a unique waist card of the soldiers led by the three princes, if it is not for the chase, if it is not for the fire of Baifu, how can it fall on the body of this servant girl Xiaoqing! This matter must have something to do with the three princes! ”
"yes, yes!"
"This matter is really a bit mysterious," the emperor sitting on the supreme seat seemed to be able to hear the subtleties of the ministers below.
"I'll find out about this!"
Another minister stood up, and looked at the minister who stood up opposite with impatience, "Your Majesty, the minister also has words." ”
"Please!"
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that there are a lot of doubts about what this maid Xiaoqing said, and he can't make a conclusion for the time being, since he is being hunted down, the three princes will not send two useless people, and they didn't assassinate them, not to mention that they left their own things behind."
"There is a point in that! Do you have any other comments? ”
The ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and they don't speak anymore. Wei Tianyue looked at Shang Xuan below the opposite side, this matter naturally couldn't be investigated by himself, because the ministers of the court and the central government knew that he had intended to suppress the three princes, so his investigation of this case would inevitably make people suspicious of various results.
"That's not it?" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, since you're all suspicious! So who of you would like to look into this? ”
As soon as this question was asked, the ministers were still considering it in their hearts, and the Taiwei Shangxuan stood up, "The ministers are willing!" ”
"Okay, it's you! After the investigation is completed, I will reward it again! Then he continued: "Today's palace is very unstable, and someone in the prison has come to rob it, which is really bold!" The emperor said this in a very calm tone, just after speaking, the ministers below turned pale in an instant, and they were afraid that this would involve their own heads after they found out, and they didn't know which family who didn't want to live did this kind of thing, all the ministers below were very afraid, especially the faction that used to defend the three princes, Prime Minister Su didn't say a word in this early court, and now the emperor's favorite Lord Kapa of the military department is not there, everyone thinks that this robbery is obviously related to the three princes, However, it's hard to say that we all wait and see...
"Tianyue obeys orders!" After the emperor finished speaking, Wei Tianyue also stood up and said pretentiously: "Erchen obeys orders!" ”
"You quickly find out the case of the robbery of the Tide Beauty in that prison."
"Yes! Sons obey the holy decree! ”
……
It is another cold clear sky, the snow on the ground has not been melted by the sun, in the bustling market of people coming and going, Su Mansion is also a magnificent family, the door is open on weekdays, there are two guards at the door, and today the door of Su Mansion is tightly closed.
When Su Suxuan returned to Su's house, he couldn't enter directly from the main entrance, he walked quietly along the roof, but the courtyard in this mansion seemed to be too quiet, there were only a few patrolling special guards, in the past, these special guards were standing on the roof, because they wanted to protect the important people in the Su Mansion, if the owner of the Su Mansion left, they would patrol the inside of the Su Mansion to protect the house.
Could it be that this Su Hon Hai and Su Suxun are not there? If they weren't there, they would have gone to him, I'm afraid that Su Honghai's anger was great!
Su Suxuan himself fell to the ground cautiously, hid behind a rockery, and waited for the two teams of patrolling soldiers to leave, taking advantage of the gap in the middle, Su Suxuan immediately slipped into the window of the library pavilion, gently pushed open the window, put his hand on the window, jumped in lightly, and then closed the window door, a set of actions, in one go.
When he entered his library, he knew exactly where the book about the Poison was placed.
There are thousands of books in the library pavilion, not only on the shelves but also on the walls around there are grooves to put books, and these books are collected by Su Suxuan himself since childhood, especially in the past few years when he was out of the world, he found that the acquisition accounted for the most, and after reading a book, he sent it to his home for Su Suxun to collect in order, this cousin is very obedient, fortunately, this deity also likes medical skills, otherwise the current library will not have so many medical books.
Soon, I turned to the series of "Three Thousand Attacking Poisons", a total of thirty books, each of which recorded a hundred antidotes to the world's strange poisons, and now the scope of these thirty books is still quite large, so I can only take out each book and flip through the table of contents in front of it, and when I hurriedly pulled out a book, I fell to the ground with a book next to me, making a "bump" sound, Su Suxuan hurriedly held his breath.
