Tonight, a lively birthday banquet ended in tragedy, and it has to be said that it cast a depressing atmosphere on the entire palace. Chai Baochen www.biquge.info returned home temporarily, and I have to say that in addition to being busy, he also got into a lot of trouble. King Yu trusted himself and didn't embarrass him too much. But if you don't investigate and deal with the real culprit as soon as possible, sooner or later you will have to be pressed to Beizhen, the base camp of Jinyiwei, to join the company.

He was so tired today that he wanted to sleep but couldn't. In the study, he and Yun Lin sat opposite each other.

"I remember, oh no, Lord Yang Rong should indeed have died this year, but he died on the way to Zhishi. It doesn't make sense, how can you be assassinated? Speaking of this, Chai Baochen was a little scared, was it because of his arrival that he changed history? You know, the butterfly effect is a little bit of action, but the impact is getting bigger and bigger.

"Everything has to be guarded against. But things have come out and we have to be careful. Who in the palace would want Lord Yang to die sooner? And who knows you didn't go out of town? Who can use time so accurately? Yun Lin asked.

"Yes, this person must have a certain strength in the palace and can move around at will without worrying about being discovered.

In Wang Zhen's mansion, Ma Shun sat crookedly on a chair, looking very tired.

", I didn't expect him to be martial arts! Let this kid walk in vain. Ma Shun's fist smashed on the arm of the chair, very unwilling.

"Yes, this is a miscalculation by the old man. This two-bird strategy only knocked down one bird. Wang Zhen touched his chin, as if his chin had grown a beard.

"Alas, the king of Yu is going to track it down next, and I don't know what to do?" Ma Shun worried.

"Is things done clean?" Wang Zhen stared at Ma Shun and asked.

"It should be clean. However...... "Ma Shun doesn't seem to be entirely sure.

"But what?" Wang Zhen trembled.

"However, it is strange that Chai Baochen's boy entered the princess's room and left in less than a tea time. People who practice martial arts shouldn't be so short. He looked down at his crotch and felt a little strange to tell his experience to a eunuch.

"Yes, the old man is also worried about this. He finally found a chance to have a private meeting with that wild girl, and there was no reason to leave suddenly. Otherwise, Jin Yiwei could take him down on the spot in the princess's room, and then escort him to Empress Dowager Zhang. Here's another report that Lord Yang was assassinated. Empress Dowager Zhang was furious, and she was bound to kill him! ”

It's a pity that Chai Baochen seemed to smell danger and ran away in advance. Father-in-law, will someone report to him? ”

"Who? Who will report to him? Yes, someone must have reported to him, otherwise he wouldn't have run away! Speaking of this, Wang Zhen's chest rose and fell violently.

"Oh no, could it be seen? Will he report it to King Yu? Ma Shun said worriedly.

"I can't care so much. Does the brocade guard who does things have a background? ”

"No, this kind of thing must be done by someone with no background. Father-in-law, do you want to end it as soon as possible and burn yourself in the province? Ma Shun asked.

"Wait two days and then do it, you take care of that brocade guard. In the past two days, I will first embarrass Chai Baochen, and then help him, he will be grateful. ”

"Let him be grateful? But father-in-law, you said that he was just perfunctory to you, and that if you want to achieve great things, you must remove all possible obstacles, do you really want to use him? Ma Shun was puzzled.

"No, but this incident doesn't make him suspect that we are the culprit. Otherwise, he won't cooperate with us in the future. Wang Zhen said thoughtfully.

"My father-in-law is a master! I know how to do it. Ma Shun drank the rest of the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Lord Yang Rong also gave a congratulatory gift to Empress Dowager Zhang yesterday morning, painting splendid rivers and mountains, which suffered misfortune last night. This made Empress Dowager Zhang feel very sad. Today, the court stopped holding a one-day court meeting. The ministers gathered in the duty room and talked about it. Yang Rong's death seemed to shock them, and at the same time they thought about who the murderer was and who instructed him.

There are still two Yangs left in the three Yangs, and the rabbit is sad when the fox dies. In the cabinet, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu are convening the six Lang officials to help King Yu solve the case. Everyone looked at Chai Baochen who was standing beside King Yu, and they had a big bite of his anger.

King Yu went to the princess's side early this morning and confirmed what Chai Baochen said, and now Chai Baochen can completely get rid of suspicion. It's just that he and the princess have to be slowly explained to the Queen Mother, and Chai Baochen is inevitably reprimanded. And King Yu himself has a good brother-in-law. King Yu explained to Er Yang the reason why Chai Baochen could not be the murderer, of course, what should be said and what should not be said, he has his own measure.

The Criminal Department called Yang Rong overnight last night to inspect Yang Rong's body. The autopsy list reads: no blunt wounds, no bleeding. But the five organs are cracked, for some reason.

Now the only physical evidence is the cloth strip with "Murderer Chai Baochen" written on it. King Yu thought about it for a long time, and the notes were indeed very similar to Lord Yang's. If the words on the cloth strip were written by Lord Yang before he died, it means that the murderer did not kill with one blow, and did not even cover his face.

And it obviously doesn't make sense to be able to crack Lord Yang's five organs, but not to kill him on the spot. Moreover, there is no such white cloth under Lord Yang's official robe, so the cloth strip was written by someone else in advance, imitating Lord Yang's handwriting, and planting blame after the murder.

Well, there is a prominent problem in front of everyone. Chai Baochen is an official who has just entered Beijing, who would want to put him to death? What happened to Chai Baochen, or what secret?

King Yu pulled Chai Baochen out of the duty room and went outside to talk. Chai Baochen smiled bitterly, he also figured out the trick. Wang Zhen must be afraid that Chai Baochen and the princess will be too close and find out the identity of the princess, and in the future, the princess will say that she is a fake, and it will be troublesome. It seems that it is really because he has reached this era that the butterfly effect has changed the fate of Lord Yang Rong. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.

He also had to think about Dove, and he couldn't reveal her identity yet. Otherwise, it will bring death to Dove. What is Wang Zhen doing, why did he let Dove, who looks very similar to the princess, replace the real princess? Chai Baochen still can't figure it out.

Now that there are no clues, how can we solve the case? can't solve the case, and the Empress Dowager Zhang still can't explain. Chai Baochen suggested: "Can you get the list of Jinyi guards who were not on an errand in the Imperial Garden that day?" ”

"It's simple. What, do you suspect Jinyiwei? The King asked.

"It's not Jinyiwei, I suspect someone who can mobilize Jinyiwei." Chai Baochen frowned and thought.

"You mean ......?"

"I'm not sure yet. But this palm power, I'm afraid only a master can do it. Look for it in the brocade guards first, after all, they can come and go freely in the palace, maybe they will find it. ”

"What if you don't find it?"

"It can be concluded that it was the people in the palace who wanted to kill Lord Yang, who it was, only after investigation. Even if we can't find it for a while, we can startle the snake, and he will come out on his own. Chai Baochen looked ahead with a resolute look on his face.

In the afternoon, King Yu summoned Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyiwei, to inquire about the situation of Jinyiwei on duty on the day of the birthday banquet. After some question-and-answer, King Yu ordered Ma Shun to summon the Jinyi Guard, who was not on an errand in the Imperial Garden that day, and he wanted to interrogate him personally. After Ma Shunwei agreed, he went to find someone.

An hour later, thirteen brocade-clothed guards bravely came to the criminal department. King Yu and Chai Baochen wanted to interrogate them one by one.

In the interrogation room of the Criminal Department, a brocade guard was called in alone. The other brocade guards squatted honestly on the ground under the watchful eye of the jailer, unable to turn their heads and ears. The Jinyi guards have never been treated like this, and as the personal soldiers of the Son of Heaven, they have to go to the Fusi of Beizhen to receive family law when they commit a crime. But this time the situation is different, when today's son's younger brother, King Yu wants to personally ask about the case, they are naturally obedient, not to mention that the commander Ma Shun brought them over.

The interrogation room was complete with torture equipment, and Chai Baochen was an eye-opener. The first thing that catches your eye is the shackles hanging on the wall, which are equivalent to the shackles and handcuffs of modern society, and on the ground are placed the hammers, which are used for waist slashing, similar to guillotines. The most commonly used ones are hung on the shelf, and it is very powerful to torture people, such as the flail, "Ming Law": "The flail is five feet five inches long, and the head is one foot five inches wide, and it is made of dry wood." This thing hangs around people's necks, and the prisoner can't stand it for a while. There are also a dazzling array of unnamed torture instruments.

But it can't be tortured now, because the thirteen brocade guards who came over today are only cooperating with the investigation, and there is no obvious evidence that they are guilty. The next step is all about interrogation. Chai Baochen sorted out his thoughts in his mind, thinking about several American spy movies he had watched in later generations, and had an idea in his heart.

When Chai Baochen was interrogated, he was accompanied by officials from the Criminal Department, and when it came to matters related to the "Ming Law", he was available for Chai Baochen to consult at any time.

The first brocade guard walked into the interrogation room. "Sit!" Chai Baochen shouted.

The room was small, full of torture instruments, and airtight. It was too bright in the room, and he sat down in his chair nervously. When he sat down, he found that only a candle was lit beside him, and he was dazzled by the reflection of multiple candles, and he could not see the interrogator clearly through the candle.

"Let's have something to eat first, this is a snack from the Imperial Dining Room. Answer my questions after eating. Chai Baochen said.

I happened to be a little hungry, and when I heard that it was a snack from the imperial dining room, I was not polite and ate it in a big gulp. After eating four mung bean cakes, Jin Yiwei felt sweet and sticky in his throat, and choked a little, and said, "Water." ”

"You can answer the question." Chai Baochen said.

"I want to drink water." Jin Yiwei didn't notice Chai Baochen's words.

"Sit down!" His Royal Highness roared.

The person in front of this Jinyi Wei was the king of servants, and he endured it and sat upright. He hoped that Lord Chai would finish asking as soon as possible.
