Chapter 85: Emperor Chen's Investigation
After Yu Chi Jincheng reported the assassination of the fourteenth prince Wei Chi Mo, Yu Chi Longcheng did not mention this matter again, and many people thought that this matter was settled. It's just that it didn't take long for news to come from the Fourteenth Palace: Wei Chimo died of serious injuries and had died.
For a while, the government and the opposition stirred up the matter again.
In the end, the Criminal Department pushed the case around, and several officials pushed it around, and the matter fell on Emperor Chen.
As a famous catcher in the capital, Emperor Chen originally had a good martial arts, but he was born at the wrong time, and this big case in the capital never happened at all, and the most he did was to help the people find lost items, call children, and get enough things......
As dedicated to his duties as he is, he still works hard as always, without complaint.
When Zimo heard that he was going to take over the case of the Fourteenth Prince, he was slightly worried. This is the emperor's son, if he doesn't find out well, he will be unlucky, and if he can't find out, he will be held accountable.
"So, where are you going to start?" Zimo wrung his fingers and looked at Emperor Chen beside him.
"It's not simple! I plan to go to the Seventeen Prince's Mansion tomorrow, and it is said that the Fourteenth Prince happened shortly after the Seventeenth Prince's side concubine was kidnapped and rescued, and I speculate that there must be an inextricable connection between the two! Whether it's true or not, there must be nothing wrong with meeting this concubine! ”
Emperor Chen's sword frowned lightly and said seriously.
"A princess and a concubine, how can you see it when you say it......" Zimo felt that Emperor Chen was good everywhere, but his thinking was a little pedantic.
"I'm serious about going to investigate the case, why can't I see it? Could it be that they can still be unreasonable and blast me out? ”
Zimo sighed: Emperor Chen thought too much about these princes and nobles in the capital. Don't say it's them, it's yourself, I'm afraid Emperor Chen never thought that the woman in white he tracked down before was her, right?
"Zimo, don't worry, it's just that if you go to the palace, you won't be fine." Emperor Chen gently stroked Fu Zimo's black hair and revealed a light smile.
"Well, Zimo believes in Brother Chen!" With a smile in return, Zimo had to use that innocent little face to deal with it, and as for the case he wanted to investigate, she also wanted to help.
But he said that Ye San entered the Seventeen Prince's Mansion, and he has always been just a beauty, and Lan Qingqian has always been a disagreement. Both of them are people who want to step on each other's upper positions, and the yards are next to each other, so it is inevitable that there will be some bumps.
Feng Youyang, as a blue and shallow personal girl, can naturally help her deal with a lot of things, although there is no one in the courtyard, it is better to have caring people.
And around Ye San, there is no one intimate, looking at the "outsiders" in a courtyard, Ye San misses the life of Qiufeng Building! However, her current task was to stay in the Seventeenth Palace, waiting for the next instructions, and for a while, she was also very depressed.
Li San and Li Si saw that these two women were intriguing, and they were so annoyed that they couldn't do it, and Yu Chi Jincheng had never entered the courtyard of the two of them once, and they could still fight so happily because of these two.
On the other hand, the two people in Duyan Yuan and Yimo Garden, one is playing the pipa for the prince, and the other is playing chess with the prince, which is being favored.
"Aifei, Yu Chimo is dead." After leaving a son, Yu Chi Jincheng opened his mouth lightly, talking about his brother, but his tone was like a stranger.
"Oh." Wen Di replied simply, without any emotion, in her opinion, Wei Chimo's life and death had little to do with her, Li Er's sword was meant to fend for him.
"Why aren't you happy at all?" Yu Chi Jincheng was puzzled, and after having a son, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Should concubines be happy? Isn't the dead the prince's brother? Wen Di replied, and then looked at Yu Chi Jincheng, the expression on his face was unwavering.
"He held you hostage, and almost slighted you, and now that he's dead, you really don't have any reaction?"
"He has already received the punishment he deserves, and if God still thinks that it is not enough, isn't this already taking his life? The concubine felt that there was another thing that the prince had to pay attention to compared to his death. ”
"Oh? Let's talk about it. Raising his eyebrows and looking at her, Yu Chi Jincheng's eyes were playful.
"No matter how bad this fourteen princes are, they are also His Majesty's own son, and now that he is gone, His Majesty only ordered the Criminal Department to conduct a thorough investigation. Lord Wang, when he was assassinated before, you took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate. Now that those people should be punished have also been punished, and those who should have been warned have also been warned, why is the emperor going to send someone to investigate again? ”
"Maybe my father thinks that the death of a prince is unreasonable. That's why the Criminal Department was instructed to handle the matter. If it is done well, it is enough to reward meritorious deeds, and if it is not good, just find a few people who top the bag, and this matter will pass. Isn't that what it is now? ”
Somewhat careless, Yu Chi Jincheng took a sip of tea before continuing to play chess with her.
He originally had the advantage, but Bai Zi, who heard the flute, unknowingly took the initiative and began to counterattack.
"Lord Wang, this matter has been investigated by your hands, but the emperor has handed it over to the Criminal Department to deal with. Does he believe you? Or do you want to find fault and fix those people? Lord, you have to think clearly. Step by step to regain the lost ground, Wen Di looked at Wei Chi Jincheng's eyes with sharpness.
When Wei Chi Jincheng heard this, his heart sank: Hearing the flute's words made people think about it and be extremely frightened. The emperor's mind has always been the most difficult to guess, and even he, the so-called "most favored" son, can only guess a rough idea.
If Wei Chimo's death was a big problem that the emperor deliberately left for him, the Criminal Department, and even the princes, how should he deal with it?
Just thinking about it, someone came to report at the door, saying that it was a headcatcher named Emperor Chen who was visiting, and wanted to see and hear the side concubine.
The two glanced at each other, and Yu Chi Jincheng nodded: "Concubine Ai, you go to see him first, this game of chess, it seems that you have to come back and play again." ”
The two met with Emperor Chen in Wendi's Yimo Garden.
Seeing the legendary Concubine Wen, who was very favored by even the emperor, Emperor Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly: Although this woman is not very old, she is indeed shrewd everywhere, no wonder the emperor likes her!
"Lord Wang, the stakes are very high, please read that the villain is ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, and avoid it first, and the villain will leave after asking, and then resign to the prince in person." Emperor Chen gave up his hand and told Wei Chi Jincheng his request, every word was thoughtful and polite, so that people could not refuse.
"In that case, the king will not bother. It's just that my concubine has encountered such a terrible thing before, and I hope Chen Zhutou won't irritate her too much. You also know that her position in front of her father, if you let her father know that she is stimulated again, I am afraid that she will be angry with you. ”
reminded him very "kindly", and Wei Chi Jincheng turned around and left.
When Emperor Chen saw Xiao Qi and Baoyue standing beside Wendi, he no longer shy away from it, and asked straight to the point: "Concubine Niangniang, do you know something about the fourteenth prince?" ”
"Bengong heard about it, hmph, he may have been too seriously injured, so he didn't survive."
Wen Di said lightly, obviously, for the matter of the Fourteenth Prince, she felt a little disgusted and bored with the reintroduction of the old things.
"Concubine Wen, this matter is very important, so please cooperate with the mother and restore as much of the day's scene as possible, so that the villain can investigate the case in the next step."
Emperor Chen looked at Wen Di and pleaded sincerely.
Sighing lightly, Wen Di said lightly: "So, what do you want to ask?" ”
"The villain heard that a few days ago, the side concubine Niangniang was abducted by unknown people on the way to the palace, and was later rescued. The person who held the mother hostage was the fourteenth prince? ”
"What? You said that the person who held the palace hostage was the fourteenth prince?! Wen Di almost got up from the chair, but Xiao Qi and Bao Yue also looked at each other at a loss.
"Chen Zhutou, let's speak with our conscience! These fourteen princes are the brothers of my family's princes, how could they do anything to kidnap this palace! You say this as a malicious slander against the dead! ”
Seeing Wen Di say this, Emperor Chen was a little puzzled: Could it be that this Concubine Wen was really kept in the dark at that time, and she didn't know who did this?
"Concubine Niangniang, the villain heard that the prince had also struggled to find your whereabouts before, could it be that after you were recovered, the prince didn't tell you who kidnapped you?" Emperor Chen still didn't give up, and wanted to use the question of truth and falsehood to set up the words of the flute.
"Chen Zhutou, this matter has already passed. Those people are just some forces on the rivers and lakes who kidnapped the palace and wanted to extort some money from the prince. It took a few days for the prince to find out where I was, and he sent people to surround and suppress them, and I don't have a big deal, you are asking these now, do you have to admit that the person who kidnapped me is the fourteenth prince? ”
As soon as she said this, Emperor Chen immediately felt that he was still underestimating this concubine just now. Since she insisted that she had been kidnapped, she didn't know who the mastermind was, so it seemed that she was going to say something, but did she conceal that the person who kidnapped her was the fourteenth prince, just to protect the seventeenth prince?
"Concubine Fang, the villain doesn't dare to say that, these are just rumors."
"Rumors? Chen Zhutou, how can you judge others based on rumors? You are a head catcher, shouldn't you pay attention to evidence in everything? ”
Seeing that he was speechless, Wen Di continued to ask: "No matter where you heard this rumor from this palace, this palace only knows that there is a big problem with the logic of this rumor!" ”
"Oh? I would like to listen to the analysis of the mother. Emperor Chen arched his hand, he needed to know more about this woman, his intuition told him that this woman must know what was going on with the death of the Fourteenth Prince.
"First of all, what is the picture of the fourteenth prince kidnapping me as the side concubine of the seventeenth prince? I'm just a woman, and I don't know anything about the prince in the court. There are so many women in the prince's mansion, and there is no shortage of me, even if he thinks that the prince loves me the most, it is a bit childish to do so. ”
"Second, there are many masters in the prince's palace, who gave him the confidence to get rid of the secret guard masters who protected me, and then sent someone to hold the palace hostage? Why does he think that this move will not make the prince angry, and then teach him a hard lesson? Don't forget, the most favored prince now is always the seventeenth master of my family! ”
When Emperor Chen heard this, he frowned and looked at her, she was justified in saying this. In this way, it really has nothing to do with their Seventeen Princes' Mansion......
"However, when it comes to the abduction of the main palace, there is a clue that can be provided to you." Wen Di seemed to remember something, and said to Emperor Chen.
"Concubine Niangniang, please speak."
"I remember that among the people who held me hostage at that time, there was a young man with very strong martial arts, his martial arts were so high, even the secret guards of the palace were not opponents, if you knew which young hero was so powerful in the rivers and lakes, maybe you could find out who the person who held the palace hostage."
"A young man with strong martial arts...... Emperor Chen's mind was racing rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him!" ”
"Chen Zhutou, how's it, do you have a clue?"
"Niangniang, the villain will say goodbye first, thank Niangniang for everything!"
After Emperor Chen finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye and hurriedly walked out of the Art Ink Garden.
Seeing him walk away, the corners of Wen Di's mouth curved enough, and she led Emperor Chen's attention to Jiuzun. I hope this Chen catcher will be more powerful and get rid of him as soon as possible!
