Chapter 592: The Murderer

Fang Xingzhai's face changed greatly, and he was shocked: "You...... You are talking nonsense, this official ..... When did the officer give you the poison? He turned around and knelt down to the crown prince, and said in fear: "Your Highness, this person is spewing blood, and the lower official has never given him any poison, and ...... And the lower officials didn't recognize him. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ye Wen sneered: "Lord Fang, you are going to cross the river and tear down the bridge, you say you don't know me, how can you bring me into the camp?" ”

"Take you to camp?" Fang Xingzhai turned his head and said sharply, "When will this official take you into the camp?" ”

Situ Mingyue said coldly: "Lord Fang, Your Highness's camp is heavily guarded, and no one can easily sneak in. You brought people to meet Your Highness yesterday, and there were twenty-six people in total, right? ”

Fang Xingzhai hurriedly said: "Exactly, the entourage of the lower officials is stationed twenty miles away from here, and the lower officials are afraid of disturbing His Highness, except for some officials in Xuzhou, they only brought ten entourages over. ”

Situ Mingyue said: "It's very simple to judge whether he is the person you brought, as long as you gather the twenty-six people you brought, if there is one person missing, it is this person." ”

Fang Xingzhai seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Exactly." He said to the prince: "Your Highness, the lower official has taken the head of the upper class as a guarantee, this person has never been seen by the lower official, and it is definitely not the person brought in by the lower official, and the lower official will immediately gather them, and there will never be one less." ”

The prince said lightly: "Situ, you have gathered all the people he brought. ”

Situ Mingyue bowed his hand and retreated, and in the big tent, there was silence for a while, the prince beckoned Qi Ning to sit on the side, but he didn't speak, Fang Xingzhai looked nervous, cold sweat broke out, he went to see Ye Wen several times, his eyes were full of resentment, but Ye Wen always sneered, and he was not afraid.

In less than half an hour, Situ Mingyue returned to the tent and said, "Your Highness, everyone has been gathered. ”

Fang Xingzhai knew that life and death were at stake, and before the prince could speak, he had already asked urgently: "Situ Changshi, what .....is it?" Are all twenty-six of them there? ”

Situ Mingyue glanced at Fang Xingzhai and said, "Lord Fang, you brought twenty-six people, sixteen of them are officials from Xuzhou, ten retinues, plus you, a total of twenty-seven people, this is not wrong, right?" ”

"That's right!" Fang Xingzhai said immediately.

Situ Mingyue said: "There are sixteen officials, one is not many, and among the ten entourages, there is one less!" ”

Fang Xingzhai's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "This ...... How is this possible? The ten retinues, all of whom were cronies of the lower officials, ...... They are selected by the lower officials, and there will be no wrong .......! Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, take this person out and let those people identify it, they will never see this person." ”

Situ Mingyue sneered: "If Lord Fang had already made arrangements, even if they recognized it, they wouldn't admit it. ”

Ye Wen finally sneered: "The surname Fang, you are really vicious, you instructed me to do all this, and said that once I succeed, I will definitely be guaranteed to soar, and now that the matter is revealed, you ...... You want to get rid of it. Xiang said to the prince: "Your Highness, the villain confessed truthfully, and Fang Xingzhai sent the little one to send poisoned tea to Jinyihou, not to provoke relations, but to kill people and kill people." ”

"Kill people?" The crown prince's brows tightened, "Why do you want to kill people?" ”

Ye Wendao: "Fang Xingzhai first sent the little one to poison the wine, in order to poison His Highness, but His Royal Highness gave the wine, but he killed the little prince by mistake." His Royal Highness did not immediately cure the crime of Jinyihou, Fang Xingzhai saw that something went wrong, panicked, worried that Jinyihou was alive, His Royal Highness would find out sooner or later that this matter had nothing to do with Jinyihou, only by killing Jinyihou could the clues be broken and impossible to investigate.......! ”

The prince sneered and said: "It's stupid, if you make a mistake, you have to cover it up with the second and third stupid mistakes, if Jinyihou is poisoned, you can't track it down when you are the palace?" If he is killed, it will prove that this matter has nothing to do with him, and this palace will investigate it to the end. ”

Ye Wendao: "He was already panicked at the time, messed up, the small one was just working for others, since he wanted the small one to do it, the small one didn't dare to disobey." He glanced at Fang Xingzhai and said, "The little one goes out now, those people really won't recognize it." He took something out of his arms, Su Lun took it, and presented it to the prince, who took it in his hand and looked at it twice, frowned, and said, "This is ...... Mask? ”

Ye Wendao: "This is a human-skin mask, which is put on the face, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Fang Xingzhai asked me to replace one of the entourage, so as not to be suspected, and then mixed into the camp, looking for an opportunity to attack, he said that if I was discovered, no one would know me, as long as the matter did not involve him, he could find a way to save my life, but ...... But this man is so vicious that he wants to kill me....... ”

The prince threw the man-skin mask at Fang Xingzhai's feet, and said lightly: "Fang Xingzhai, how do you explain?" ”

Fang Xingzhai's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the lower official was wronged, all this ...... This is the first time Xia Guan has heard all this, Xia Guan has no poison, let alone seen this human-skin mask, if there is deception, the sky will be thundered and .......! ”

"Fang Xingzhai, even if there are ten thunderbolts in the sky, what can you do?" Situ Mingyue said coldly: "The evidence is conclusive, do you still have to quibble?" ”

Fang Xingzhai was soft, lying on the ground softly, and said sadly: "Your Highness, the lower official has really been wronged, and the lower official has never had the intention of killing His Highness, this is ...... This must be someone framing the lower officials, please ask Your Highness to investigate! ”

"Framed you?" The prince picked up the wine glass and said lightly: "Then you come to tell the palace, who is going to frame you?" If this person wasn't brought in by you, could it be someone under the hands of this palace? Do you mean to say that the people around Hongu want to poison Hongu? ”

Fang Xingzhai's forehead was pressed against the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials don't dare, the people around His Highness are loyal and will never ...... Never .......! ”

"Since it's not the person around the palace, and it's not the person you brought, did this Ye Wen come out of the ground?" The prince's voice was always very calm, but there was a calm look in his eyes: "Do you think this palace trusts the people around you, or the people who believe in you?" If you are hard-mouthed, this palace will not only cut off your tongue, but also destroy your nine clans! ”

Fang Xingzhai lay on the ground, his whole body trembled like chaff, but he said weakly: "Your Highness, the lower official is wronged, and the lower official is wronged......!" ”

Situ Mingyue coughed and asked, "Fang Xingzhai, you recruited from the truth, why do you want to poison His Highness?" You are in Xuzhou, a stab in history, deeply favored by the country, why do you want to make trouble? Xiang Su Lun glanced at him and said, "Come on, tie up Fang Xingzhai!" ”

Su Lun waved his hand, and several soldiers rushed forward like wolves, took the rope, and tied Fang Xingzhai strongly.

The crown prince waved his hand and motioned for the guards to drag Ye Wen down first, and then said to Fang Xingzhai, who was tied up strongly: "Fang Xingzhai, before you became the assassin of Xuzhou, you were an official in the court, and you also had dealings with this palace, so you know the temperament of this palace. This palace does things, and the rewards and punishments are clear, which you should be clear. ”

Fang Xingzhai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was as white as snow, and he said softly: "Your Highness...... His Royal Highness's rewards and punishments are clear, and the officials are ...... Xia Guan knows! ”

"You murdered this palace, how do you say this palace should punish you?" The prince sighed, "You have today's scenery, it's not easy, my Daqi is a small country, my father ordered you to guard Xuzhou, and it can be regarded as handing over half of my Daqi to you, you don't want to repay the emperor's kindness, but you want to be so ruthless, can you tell me a reason?" ”

Fang Xingzhai's voice trembled, and he said, "Your Highness, your ...... The lower officials are loyal to the imperial court, and there is no .......!"

The prince didn't wait for him to finish, and had already interrupted: "You say this, is it because this palace has wronged you?" ”

Situ Mingyue said coldly: "Lord Fang, Your Highness is generous and benevolent, if you confess truthfully, there may be a glimmer of life." Is there anyone else involved in the murder of Your Highness? ”

Fang Xingzhai said: "Your Highness, the lower officials .......!" Seeing that the prince's eyes were like knives, he stared at him coldly, but he didn't know how to argue for a while.

Situ Mingyue leaned over and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has always only punished the first evil, and the accomplices are all punished lightly, although Ye Wen was poisoned, but he was only instructed by you, His Highness will naturally treat him lightly, there is a car in front and a rut in the back, if you can confess truthfully, Your Highness will also open the net." He said coldly: "Can anyone else be involved?" ”

Qi Ning was just a cold bylooker from beginning to end, but at this time he was already frowning slightly.

Fang Xingzhai looked at Situ Mingyue, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Highness, your ..... The lower officials have no courage to murder His Highness, right..... Someone instructed the subordinate to do this. ”

The prince's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the assassin of Xuzhou, who can still command you in Xuzhou?" ”

Fang Xingzhai hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes...... It's King Tarzan! ”

The prince got up suddenly, raised his foot and kicked Fang Xingzhai on the shoulder, Fang Xingzhai groaned and was kicked to the ground, but immediately got up, the prince said sharply: "Fang Xingzhai, you are so bold, you dare to slander the imperial brother here, this palace and the imperial brother are siblings, how can he harm me?" If you dare to slander the imperial brother, this palace will behead you now! Turning around, he rushed to the side of the weapon rack, pulled out a sword, and rushed towards Fang Xingzhai.

Situ Mingyue had already stepped forward to stop and persuaded: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be angry, Fang Xingzhai slandered King Taishan, the crime is unforgivable, but ...... Your Highness can listen to him and see what he has to say. ”

The prince pointed his sword at Fang Xingzhai and said sharply: "You say! ”

Fang Xingzhai's forehead was like rain, and he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, King Taishan...... After King Taishan was sent to Xuzhou by the emperor, he ...... He has always been disgruntled, and he ...... He felt that His Highness had robbed him of the position of prince, so he hated His Highness all the time...... Always looking for opportunities to get revenge..... Revenge on His Highness.......! He glanced up at the prince, and saw that the prince was staring at him, and he didn't dare to look at the prince, so he bowed his head and said: "Your Royal Highness came to Xuzhou to hunt this time, and King Taishan felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he ...... So carefully planned, let ...... Let the lower officials send someone to find an opportunity to poison His Royal Highness.......! ”
