Chapter 196: The Seven Princes of the Dead

The flames went out and the streets were quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The night sky was scorched by the light of the fire for a few hours, and the sky was red, and from a distance, there was still the red sun hanging under the sky, burning hotly, and the light gradually dimmed, until it disappeared into darkness.

The night fell again, and the expressions on their faces were different, including the joy after hard work, the excitement of the rest of their lives, happiness, sadness, and crying and tears, which fell into people's hearts.

In the dark streets, the ground was paved with water flowing, gurgling, and black ashes wandered on it, rushing with the water into the distance, and no one noticed where they went.

The spotlight is on the charred houses, and there must be a reason why a house caught fire for no reason, and the houses in Lodu are heavily regulated, with only one fire in the past decade.

This time, it was the second time, and it was more than the last time, there were a few fewer houses, and if it had not been discovered in time, it might have caused a greater disaster, the fire was extinguished, and what the situation inside was, it is unknown.

The officers and soldiers moved away the blackened wood, and several of them went up together, but the people did not dare to go up to help.

After waiting for a long time, a corpse finally appeared, blackened, charred, unrecognizable, with a slight strip of cloth left on the body, which can be seen that this person's identity is not simple.

The skin is all blackened, and everything that can be seen is smoking, whether it is scorched earth blackened or burned black, this depends on the situation.

The officers and soldiers searched for a long time, but did not find a second body, only one body, that is, one person died.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the death of one person was not serious, and the tense nerves of the officers and soldiers were also released, and a breath of turbid breath was exhaled.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

Zhang Keyan arrived with the people, entered the inside, pushed away the people next to him, and the officers and soldiers in front saw Zhang Keyan and arched their hands: "My lord, the cause of the fire is unknown, the deceased is a man, and his identity is unknown." ”

"Is there a dead person? No other losses were caused? "If there is any mistake in his jurisdiction, he will be settled with the above.

Hearing that it was just one person dead, he breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, one person, not a big deal.

"There were no other damages except for a few houses that burned down, but ......."

"But what?" Zhang Keyan raised his eyebrows, looking displeased.

"But the identity of this person may be ......... Maybe a little troublesome? The officers and soldiers hesitated, glanced at the adult, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said: "According to the judgment of his subordinates, this person has a noble status and wears a jade pendant around his waist. ”

The jade pendant is green, and the whole body exudes beautiful colors, he didn't dare to swallow it alone, so he took it out and handed it to the adult.

Zhang Keyan took the jade pendant, frowned, the familiar jade pendant, it seems that he has seen it somewhere, after thinking about it for a while, he still can't remember, he confirmed that he must have seen this kind of jade pendant before.

Where have you seen it?

Zhang Keyan lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, sweat dripped down, and his face was pale, just like pitch-black charcoal, black completely, unable to turn white.

He ...... He....... ”

He squatted down, regardless of the dirt, carefully examined the corpse on the ground, and pushed aside the darkness on the corpse, he saw it, saw the clothes that were still left, and at this moment, he sat down.

"Bang."

His ass hit the ground and made a heavy sound, he didn't feel it, he looked at the front in a daze, and the corners of his mouth groaned: "Impossible, how is it possible?" How could he be here, how could he die here. ”

He panicked, this man died, died under his own jurisdiction, this is a great sin.

It's all because this person is none other than the Seventh Prince of the Dynasty, and he was burned alive in the house, which is .......

The officers and soldiers around him widened their eyes, this is not a trivial matter, it's over, the Seventh Prince is dead, he died here, then wouldn't they?

Sweat rained down one by one, and the blazing air did not make them feel warm, cold and biting, three points colder than the ice and snow in winter.

They looked at each other, unable to believe the result in front of them, and stumbled so much that they didn't know how to speak.

"My lord, what should I do?"

"You ask me, how do I know?" Zhang Keyan was about to cry, shouting in his heart, it's over.

The next day, in the morning, in the court.

The atmosphere was depressing, and there were bursts of oppressive momentum from above, like rivers and seas, constantly swarming and rolling, majestic atmosphere, standing below one by one, not daring to speak.

The ministers' eyes were on the ground, and they had a tacit understanding with each other, and no one would play a game to impeach someone, even the historian who had always had the most words, was extremely quiet at the moment.

In the court hall where the needle could be heard, Zhu Mao sat on it, grabbed the letter with both hands, his eyes were red, his five fingers pinched into the fold, and the folded fold gradually deformed.

"Bang."

The palm of his hand slapped on the table, making a heavy trembling sound, and the ground trembled, and he looked at the hundred organs below angrily, his breathing was messy, and his eyes were like electricity.

When the strafing passed, the hundred officials turned a deaf ear, as if no one saw that the person above was angry, angry, and brewing murderous intent.

"The seventh is also dead?"

The seventh prince, Zhu Yourang, died, died at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and was burned alive by a fire in a room in Luodu.

I couldn't find the evidence, I couldn't find the target, I couldn't find the murderer, it became an accident case, and the answer given by the Ayutthaya Temple was an accident, and His Majesty's condolences changed.

Seeing those words, Zhu Mao's anger suddenly came up, a few days after the sixth died, the seventh died with him, there is nothing strange in this, who can believe it?

"I just want to know, how do you do things?"

None of the hundred officials took a step, bowed their heads and held their breath, for them, at this moment, nothing is better than words.

All words are powerless at the moment.

No one wants to touch His Majesty's moldy head, whoever goes up and who dies, Feng Zhi stood in it, arched his hands and watched, and the afterglow swept over the other Shangshu around him, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Youfei, was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was asleep.

Xia Yuanchu, who was still in the Ministry of War, laughed slightly, his smile was very low, not to pay attention to observation, and he couldn't see him smiling, Xia Yuanchu also looked over and smiled at Feng Zhi.

Feng Zhi didn't dare to continue to look at this person, it was too terrible, he could still laugh at this time, a madman, and looked at the others, Yang Yong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not squint, and kept looking straight at it.

This person is not easy to deal with, the Criminal Department, hence the name, is a very frightening department, and the people who enter it, no matter how powerful they were before, can't escape from his palm.

Everyone else is doing their own thing, no one cares about Zhu Mao, Zhu Mao glanced around, and his anger subsided: "Bao Aiqing, can the case of the sixth child be concluded?" ”

Bao Longyu took a step forward, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty, there is no yet, Weichen has found a clue, and the case will be solved in a few days." ”

In the first few words, Zhu Mao's face suddenly looked bad, and when he heard that the case could be solved in a few days, his anger disappeared, and he responded coldly: "The murderer, there is no forgiveness for killing." ”

He wants to be powerful, he is Zhu Mao, he is the emperor of this country.

He's going to tell these people that he's not dead, what do you want to do.

The cold atmosphere lingered in the court, and when the officials heard it, they all trembled, and their thoughts were different, His Majesty was warning them that he was still there, don't move your mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bao Longyu stepped back and returned to his place.

"Do you Aiqing have anything to do?"

Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent to each other.

"Retreat."

With a retreat, the people left, the officials dispersed, and Bao Longyu also went back to Dacheng Temple.

In the calm court, there was a word that was not calm, and anyone who fell into it would be killed.

The sixth prince died, the seventh prince also died, and the two princes with different surnames were killed one after another, and no one knows who killed them.

The eldest prince Zhu Yougu was in the mansion, after hearing the news, his jaw was about to fall, he couldn't believe his ears, the seventh child died, why did he die?

At this time, he died, didn't that tell everyone that it was his hand?

Who is going to frame him? This was his first thought, and the person who could do this kind of thing would definitely harm him.

"Your Highness, this is a poisonous ploy."

"His Highness knows that what His Highness wants is a way, not an analysis, who does it, does His Highness still use speculation? Except for the fourth child, who else will have crooked thoughts. ”

Zhu Yougu thought of the murderer, his younger brother, Zhu Youzhen, there was no one else except him.

The second brother Zhu Youjian is an honest and honest person who will not touch him, the third brother Zhu Youtu is gentle and elegant, and will not do this kind of thing, and the fifth brother Zhu Youyong is just a waste.

There is only this fourth brother, let him worry, fourth brother, do you have to fight with me?

"Your Highness, he wants to defeat us with one blow, but Your Majesty has ordered, catch the murderer, kill without mercy, Dacheng Temple Bao Long Yu has always been against us, you said that if he bends the law for personal gain, wouldn't we?"

Zhu Yougu glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Liang he Bao Longyu doesn't dare to make a move, you can rest assured, His Royal Highness is here, I think he can help me?" ”

"Your Highness is mighty." After this person shouted mightily, he said, "But what should I do this time?" Bao Longyu has always been an unstable factor, and there are four princes, Your Majesty, we can't be impulsive. ”

With the death of two princes in a row, his situation is even more dangerous, and the suspicion of him from above is even heavier.

His Majesty is old, but he did not establish the position of crown prince, which makes many princes scramble to fight, which is also one of the scourges.

They don't understand why he, as the eldest son, is not the prince, more than 20 years, he is twenty and two today, and in a few years, it will be too late.

At the moment, all they can do is get rid of the others before him, leaving him with no choice.

"Hmph, the sixth and seventh are never from our old Zhu family, if they die, they will die, what will he do with us?" Zhu Yougu frowned and sneered, and then frowned: "But if he makes a prince, how can His Royal Highness ......." ”

"Hmph."
