The first to be tried was the boss Zhao Yuanzuo. At this moment, he still didn't know what was going on, he just looked at the three divisions in the hall suspiciously.

"Ahem." Han Yulong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, coughed dryly and said, "Your Highness, do you know what happened when we invited you over on the emperor's order?" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled and said, "If you don't say it, I know that you served the emperor's order, but I really don't know what is going on, you can say it." ”

The three directors glanced at each other, a little embarrassed, they had never tried a case like this, generally speaking, they asked directly: "Are you guilty", if you don't know, you will first kill a few hundred wives, and then the case will basically be solved. But now they are facing the prince, and they have to take the initiative to state the facts.

Jiang Jiying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Your Highness, this is the case, His Royal Highness King Xu died of poison this morning, and it is understood that the last meal was eaten in Nangong, so please ask Your Highness to come and assist in the investigation of the case, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's originally ruddy face suddenly lost its blood, and he asked blankly, "What did you say, what's wrong with the second brother?" ”

"Prince Gongxiao has returned to heaven, please mourn Your Highness." In the imperial history, Ye Zhiqiu said, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhao Yuanzuo, trying to see what was wrong.

"Dead? Poisoning? Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes were hollow, and he couldn't see any emotion, he took two steps back, sat on the ground and muttered: "Poisoned, who got poisoned?" Suddenly, he shouted, "Who got the poison?" And he fainted to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly called someone to go up for treatment, and after a while, Zhao Yuanzuo woke up faintly, his pale face rose red, and he suddenly jumped up, pulled out the waist knife of a servant and cut people, and shouted in his mouth: "Die, it's good to be dead, it's good to be dead, die early and reincarnate early, don't come to the emperor's house in the next life." ”

Say a word and cut a knife, see who cuts whom, and the officials in the hall dodge one after another.

The third division of the hall hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quickly control Your Highness." ”

Only then did the officials dare to step forward to control, and a few people went around his back to hug him, took off his waist knife and tied it to the rope, and took him down to find the imperial doctor.

Han Yulong hugged his head and sighed, "What do you two adults think? ”

Ye Zhiqiu said: "I expected the King of Chu to go crazy, I think that when his third uncle died, he went crazy, and now his younger brother is poisoned and died, the stimulation should be deeper than that time." ”

Jiang Jiying frowned and whispered, "It won't be pretended, right?" ”

His question, the other two had already thought about it, and at the same time shook their heads and said, "Who can know this?" ”

The second to be brought to the court was the third prince Zhao Yuankan.

The procedure was the same, telling him what had happened and asking him what he thought about it.

Zhao Yuankan also felt incredible when he heard this, and after confirming that it was true, he sat in the hall with his legs weak, remembering that he had a good time drinking last night, and his brotherly love was deep, and he couldn't stand the tears. However, he is not a madman King Chu after all, he has always acted calmly, so he told Zhao Yuanxi in detail about the organization of the prince to celebrate the Lantern Festival from beginning to end, which is the same as what the servants in front of him said.

As for Zhao Yuankan himself, he has never interfered in this matter from beginning to end, and when he was drinking last night, he and Zhao Yuanxi were separated by his own wife and second sister-in-law, and it is impossible to poison him unknowingly.

In this way, Zhao Yuankan was taken down.

Zhao Mingyue was in a hurry when she was locked up in the prison center, although she was held alone, but she could see that her brothers and sisters were locked in one by one, she didn't know what happened, but something was definitely wrong.

Not long after, she was also summoned to court.

Sanji's mouth was already dry, and he sighed, "Does the princess know what happened?" ”

Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know, you should say it quickly." ”

"His Royal Highness King Xu finished eating and drinking last night, and died of poison this morning, Xia Guan and others were ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case, if the princess has clues, please give advice."

"What do you say? The second brother is dead? Zhao Mingyue was dizzy, and involuntarily squatted on the ground, pinching her thighs fiercely, so that she didn't faint. Think about Zhao Yuanxi last night when he was drunk and put his arm around her shoulder to apologize to her, saying that he would be a good brother in the future. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they all knew it in their hearts, seeing that their brothers and sisters were about to get along with each other, how could they die?

Still not convinced, she asked again, "What did you just say?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Xu was poisoned and died, and the emperor has been posthumously crowned Prince Gongxiao." Han Yulong said.

Zhao Mingyue couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes went dark, and she passed out. Although she is estranged from Zhao Yuanxi, after all, they are brothers and sisters, and her brother died sideways, so there is no reason why it doesn't hurt.

The three divisions sighed together, there were already several people who passed out in this hall today. Ye Zhiqiu said: "Take the princess down for treatment." ”

Han Yulong said: "Is it still trial?" ”

Jiang Jiying thought for a while and said: "The princes and princesses should take a break, the adults have already been tried, and the rest are children, and it is useless to try them." I want to ask King Xu's wives and concubines again to see what clues they can have? ”

Han Yulong and Ye Zhiqiu both nodded in agreement.

Princess Xu and Zhang Yanyan were carried into the lobby. As you can imagine, these two women are sadder than anyone else, and for them, it is a real sky falling. Especially Zhang Yanyan, overnight, her charming and lovely face became a skeleton.

Leaving King Xu, she is nothing, and no one wants to go back to be a girl.

The three law divisions asked a few words, but the two women just cried, and couldn't say anything.

The day's interrogation ended like this, without any clues, but the princes and princesses fell to the ground.

The medical examiner examined the scene, but still found nothing of value. Although the leftovers of that night were all emptied, they were still in the trash can, and no poison was found, and there were residual juices in the jars after drinking, and there was no sign of poisoning. The wine glasses and cutlery have been cleaned, and of course there will be no clues.

Where did the poison come from, and how did it get to King Xu?

It's so bizarre.

The three law divisions had no choice but to enter the palace to report.

Zhao Guangyi has completely fallen ill, the three sons have had accidents one after another, and the most reliable second son was poisoned and died violently, not to mention that as an old father, what should he do, just say who should hand over these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?

The Khitan party is eyeing each other. The white lotus demon, the Sichuan and Shu rebels, are ready to move. If there is no capable successor, the Great Song Dynasty may not be far from extinction. Thinking of these, Zhao Guangyi, a generation of iron-blooded monarchs, secretly cried under the quilt.

The three law divisions knelt in front of Zhao Guangyi's bed and reported the trial in detail. Zhao Guangyi didn't speak for a long time, and waved his hand after a while: "Let's go and check again, we must find out clearly, even the case of the emperor's family can't be investigated, and ordinary people's families don't want to count on you, it's better to go back to farming." ”

The three of them trembled and withdrew.
