Although thick clouds block the sun, the earth is not so bright. But after all, it was broad daylight, and Chen Hao's horned knife forcibly pulled the people in the courtyard into boundless fear.

The guards who are in pain but can't scream, the sharp knives that fly and are full of rhythm, and the knife hands that are calm and precise...... The crimson blood flowed slowly, slowly seeping into the ground. The slices of meat that can't stop falling make people want to be nauseated.

"Zhou Liyuan, unravel his sea of qi, I thought of asking him something." Qin Fei commanded.

The dying guard opened his eyes weakly, unconcealed his hatred, and stared at Qin Fei viciously, looking like a hungry wolf, if he could still move, he would definitely swallow Qin Fei in one bite.

Qin Fei took two steps closer, squatted down in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry to hate me, if you don't answer my question honestly, I guarantee that after a while, you will feel that the way I treat you now is simply a living bodhisattva." ”

"Your name? Office? Where are you on the night of November 18? Qin Fei stretched out his hand and patted his face, and said with a smile: "I will speak after thinking clearly, I don't like to ask a second time." ”

The muscles on the guard's face couldn't help trembling, and the heavens and men were at war in his heart, and his helpless eyes turned to his colleagues, to the unconscious Hu Lufang, and to Wei Bingyin, who had already begun to play tricks...... He finally gave in and said in a low voice, "Zhengwupin sword guard, Xin Jiaxiong." ”

Of course, Qin Fei would not just pull a guard out and cut it, at least he would do it when he was eighty or ninety percent sure, and when he reported his name, he knew that he was not lying. As a fifth-grade guard, he is already a good master, and the rank of the palace guard can generally achieve the fourth-grade is the limit, and he wants to be promoted again? You have to count on being sent to the army or promoted to military attaché. A fifth-grade guard, at least a master of the Innate Realm, who can wield a sword, is even the best among them.

"November 18...... That night, the fourth prince went to the courtyard on Xiliu Street......" Xin Jiaxiong hesitated, perhaps Bai Shengsheng's arm bones were reminding him not to delay, but he still mustered up the courage to continue: "I and another guard brought two teams of people to accompany and protect. When they arrived at the courtyard, his team stood guard on the perimeter and set up light and dark sentinels. I led my men into the inner courtyard, controlled the entrances and exits, and inspected the drinks and dishes. I was close to myself and another person. ”

Qin Fei groaned: "Everyone knows what that courtyard does. The Four Princes must be no exception, right? ”

"I didn't ...... No! Xin Jiaxiong bared his teeth and shouted, "Can you stop the bleeding first?" ”

"Oh...... If you want to stop the bleeding, you should answer quickly. After asking, I will naturally stop the bleeding for you! Qin Fei said coldly.

Xin Jiaxiong gritted his teeth with hatred: "The four princes drank in the room that night, and only one person was called to accompany them. That woman is the number one in the yard, and she is popular. After she arrived in the room, the four princes asked me to protect me outside the door, and later, the four princes were somehow furious, so I went to the next door with another person and beat Mo Yang Mo Shilang. ”

Qin Fei sneered: "Your courage is really not small, and the officials of the imperial court dare to beat them casually." It seems that the phrase dog fighting human power has really not been missed. ”

Xin Jiaxiong didn't care about justifying, and then said: "We stayed outside the door for most of the night, and then the fourth prince came out and ordered us to go in and clean up the body and bury the woman with a noble ceremony...... When we had done this, we warned the people in the courtyard not to divulge the matter, saying that the woman had the plague. ”

"Is that woman's name Bai Xiaoyan?" Qin Fei asked.

"Exactly!"

Qin Fei ignored him anymore, turned his face to look at Wei Bingyin, and said solemnly: "The human evidence seems to be complete, I will now take Xin Jiaxiong to find the woman's body, the Criminal Prison Department and the Jinshi Division are responsible for the autopsy, if the physical evidence is also found by me." In the next letter I wrote to Your Majesty, the first sentence of the opening sentence must be - the prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people! ”

"Let's find it!" Although Wei Bingyin is still stiff-mouthed, he has lost his momentum.

……………………

The stone bridge flows, and the bamboo shadow is fragrant. If outsiders come here, they will definitely think that this is the courtyard of some official family. To be able to have such a courtyard in the eastern capital, where every inch of land is valuable, is by no means an ordinary person.

But people who really know the inside story will never see it that way. Here, it's a prison!

A warm sedan chair that is not gorgeous, surrounded by more than 20 male and female servants, walked into this courtyard, walked through the garden, stepped across the stone bridge, crossed the middle entrance, and was in the back. The court stopped. The warm sedan chair fell steadily to the ground, and the man in front of the sedan chair stretched out his hand and rolled up the sedan curtain. The middle-aged maid bowed and stretched out her arm and the hand stretched out in the sedan chair. This group of people, both men and women, is well-trained and full of etiquette!

A middle-aged beautiful woman walked down from the sedan chair, she looked a little haggard, and a few white hairs on her sideburns shivered in the cold wind. However, being haggard only makes her look more aristocratic, which is completely different from those haggard women who are struggling for tomorrow's food and clothing!

"What about the prince?" She glanced at the people who had come out of the courtyard, but she did not find her only child.

A fierce guard walked down from the verandah, bowed and said: "Queen Mother, the prince had a hangover last night, and he hasn't taken half a step out of the bedroom, so he must have not woken up yet." ”

An imperceptible trace of anger crossed the queen's face, and she walked towards the verandah.

The guard hurriedly took two steps and blocked the front: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has a decree, the prince is not allowed to see anyone during the period when he thinks about it." The humble monarch is in his body, offending the mother, and asking the mother to forgive the sin! ”

"Smack!" Queen Guan raised her right hand and slapped him heavily in the face. This slap was crisp and loud, although Queen Guan was just a powerless woman, but a slap with enough strength was not so easy to bear.

She walked forward, and the guard moved two steps, still blocking in front of her, and said in a low voice: "The king's order cannot be violated, even if Niangniang kills the lowly position today, the lowly position will not dare to let the mother pass." ”

"Kill you?" Queen Guan glanced coldly at the thirty-year-old elite guard, and snorted heavily: "I only have one son, and today is a mother who came to see her only son, and you have to stop this?" I won't kill you, so what can I do to kill you? Hehehe, if Your Majesty can really be ruthless, you will kill our mother and son together. ”

Her left hand slowly stretched out of her sleeve, and her delicate and white palm was like a girl, holding a sharp knife tightly. Before everyone could scream, the knife was backhanded at her neck.

Queen Guan said sadly: "You are the fourth rank of the emperor with a knife, and everyone here is not your opponent combined, I can't kill you, so I can only kill myself." Today, I didn't see my son, so I died here, and I was gone! ”

The Sipin guard was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Don't ...... the queen mother Humble duty, then send someone to report to Your Majesty. ”

Queen Guan didn't look at him, the knife in her hand pressed down on her neck, and with a slight belt, a blood mark instantly appeared on the white skin, and immediately, the blood line flowed down.

"Get out of the way!" Queen Guan said coldly.

"Humble ......"

Before he finished speaking, Queen Guan gritted her silver teeth and took it down with a knife.

The Sipin guards knelt on the ground, trembling in fear. can think about it, if you disobey the king's order and let the queen in, it will be a capital crime at most, in the past, he had a lot of credit, and the huge master also looked at himself well, he really wanted to die, and he might be able to save his life if he said a word. If she didn't let go, the queen didn't look like she was joking, she really wiped her neck impulsively...... She is the queen of the dynasty at best, and she is the daughter of Guan Zaide. My family is waiting to go to the vegetable market street to cut off the head! Maybe you'll have to take the Nine Clans with you......

The chaotic thoughts were only fleeting, and once he had made up his mind, he immediately got out of the way.

Queen Guan still held her neck with a knife, walked quickly to the porch, and said sharply: "No one is allowed to follow, a mother who can do anything for the sake of her son." ”

The people in the courtyard, whether they were the servants in charge of the queen or the guards who were imprisoned in the prince, looked at each other, all drenched in cold sweat.

The corners of the prince's mouth were stained with wine, and the beard on his face had not been shaved for a long time, which looked a little vicissitudes. The room smelled of alcohol, and there were many empty bottles on the floor...... And he lay on the ground with his drunken clothes, and no one would put a blanket on him, nor would anyone help him to lie on the couch. The once glorious imperial prince is now just a prisoner who has wine and meat to eat, and lives in a gorgeous courtyard!

Queen Guan put away the knife in her hand, held the prince in her arms, and wiped the dust and wine stains off his face with tears.

"Mom...... I want my mother to ......" the prince whispered in his dream, rubbing his head in Queen Guan's arms, just like the attachment when he was born.

Queen Guan said gloomily: "You have been called the queen mother since you were three years old, and I haven't heard the word mother for many years." ”

The prince suddenly woke up from his dream, and his hazy eyes suddenly saw that Queen Guan was in front of him, and he immediately lost his soul and exclaimed: "Queen Mother? Why are you here, Queen Mother? Is my father going to let me out? ”

"No......" Queen Guan shook her head slowly: "The queen mother came to see you, I know you are not having a good time here." If you want to go out, you can't be so decadent, only by cheering up, can you have a chance to get back everything that belongs to you. ”

"Cheer up?" The prince suddenly laughed wildly: "Haven't I cheered up for more than 20 years? I read with those old white-bearded men, and I read backwards and again. I studied the art of war with famous generals and deduced the ancient battle examples. I did everything, but in the end? ”

"You know, this road is the road from which there is no turning back, and the one who goes to the end will win. Those who give up halfway are only dead ends. Queen Guan said sharply.

"Then I'm dead. My father cut off all my paths. It's okay, at least I can see before I die, whether it's King Duan, or King Qi, or even the fourth child who just recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, who can sit in that position? The prince sneered.
