Wang Sicai smacked his chapped lips: "Water ......"

Song Yuner brought a cup of tea to Wang Sicai to drink, and was still thirsty, Song Yuner simply brought the pot of warm tea on the table to Wang Sicai and let her drink enough. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After drinking the tea, Wang Sicai's spirits were better, and he took a breath, and then said slowly: "I entered the palace on the surface of ...... It was a ...... recommended by Gu Fuyin, in fact...... I have always been a ...... of the three princes, and in fact, he arranged for me to enter the palace ......, and used me to write poetry...... Arrange me with ...... Close to the virtuous concubine ......"

Song Yun'er asked, "What is the purpose of the third prince arranging for you to approach Concubine Xian?" ”

"At that time...... Just to ...... Approaching the emperor through the mother...... I wanted to listen to some useful news, ...... after arriving in Lincheng that day, ...... Ouchi guards who accompanied the expedition...... Mi Hyun ...... Send me a ...... MeSign ......"

"Is this Mi Xian also a member of the Third Prince?" Song Yun'er asked.

Wang Sicai nodded: "He used to be in charge of ...... for me I read the letter ...... the messenger who had heard it...... I'm scared...... That letter asked me to ...... Poisoned the emperor with the charcoal of the post station......"

Song Yun'er suddenly realized: "It turns out that this method was told to you by the third prince?" ”

"Yes...... but I didn't have a choice...... I'm not going to listen to orders...... My family name and life are all ......in the hands of the three princes, and the three princes have promised me...... When he becomes the emperor...... Seal me as a concubine ......"

It's really a lust for profit, and I don't know whether to live or die! Song Yun'er thought secretly.

Wang Sicai gasped for a while, and then said, "But I'm worried that after I do this...... ............ the third prince killed me and killed me, or didn't fulfill his promise, so I put ...... Wrapped that letter in oiled paper...... I hid it in the room where I lived at the Lincheng Station...... Under a tile on the roof......"

Song Yun'er said curiously: "What are you hiding there for?" Aren't you afraid of others finding out? ”

Wang Sicai smiled miserably: "Ordinary people don't turn over the tiles on the roof of the post station...... If I'm okay...... In the future, I will become a concubine, and I will come back to take the ...... destroyed, and if I die...... the roof of the post house will be renovated in the future...... You will also find the secret letter ......, and so will the three princes...... Can't run away! ”

Song Yun'er felt a chill in her heart, this Wang Sicai was so deep in the city, it turned out that she had already taken precautions, but if she was involved in this kind of palace power struggle, she would only die unjustly. Wang Sicai kept a hand, but he didn't want to let his death be unclear.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi didn't know the situation of Wang Sicai's charcoal poisoning to kill Concubine Xian, and asked: "Since the third prince instructed you to assassinate the emperor, why did you only kill Concubine Xian?" ”

"When I left that night, ......, the emperor and his mother had already slept ......, and when I put charcoal poison, I thought that the emperor and my mother were in the room...... Later, I learned that there was an emergency military report ......, and the emperor went out to review the emergency report and went to ......, so it was only poisoned to the mother's ......, not to the emperor......"

Song Yun'er thought to herself, Emperor Ming Chengzu was really lucky and escaped this catastrophe. He also inquired in detail about the location of the hidden secret letter.

Subsequently, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and Song Yuner interrogated Gu Fuyin and Concubine Shun. It didn't take much ideological work, and both of them told the truth, this whole so-called murder was forced to confess under torture by Ji Gang, and it was simply unjust.

After receiving the confession, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi decided to immediately return to the palace to report to the emperor. It is required to stop the execution of Gu Cabinet and Concubine Shun and others.

Leaving the prison of the Criminal Department, he hurried to the palace. Song Yun'er and others, who were dressed up, were waiting outside the palace. After the prince entered the palace, he came out almost an hour later.

Song Yun'er asked urgently, "How is it?" ”

The prince said: "My father ordered me to arrest the eunuch Mi Xian, and without waiting for the torture, Mi Xian admitted to passing a secret letter to Wang Sicai for the third prince. The father has already issued an order to behead Mi Xian and the nine clans. ”

Song Yun'er said happily: "Great! Is my brother okay now? ”

"Not yet, my father asked me to rush to the Lincheng Post Station overnight to extract the secret letter to him."

"Good! I'll go with you! ”

The prince nodded: "Well, however, I want to go to the Yang Mansion first, find Marquis Yang, and listen to his opinion." ”

"Yes!" Song Yun'er asked again: "Concubine Shun and Cabinet Master Gu, they should be fine, right?" And Wang Sicai's matter, how's it going? ”

Speaking of this, the crown prince's expression was gloomy: "Father said that the execution will continue, because this is only Wang Sicai's words......"

"How can it be one-sided!" Song Yun'er was anxious and interrupted the prince's words, "Didn't the eunuch Mi Xian who delivered the secret letter confess?" Besides, there is a secret letter. ”

"My father said that the holy order cannot be changed overnight, and the execution is still going on, and if enough evidence is found in the future to prove that they were wronged, it will be ...... to rehabilitate them at that time."

"Everyone is dead, what's the use of rehabilitation!" Song Yun'er was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Why don't you talk to the emperor about it!" ”

Song Yun'er was in a hurry, and she didn't care that the other party was the prince. Fortunately, the prince's surname was easy-going, and he didn't care, but said with some guilt: "I said ......, my father didn't agree......"

"What about ......, what about Wang Sicai? Didn't you say yes? ”

"I agreed to this matter, and my father said that since I agreed, I would give me a face, and I would spare Wang Sicai's Ling Chi and hang her ......, but my father lost his temper for this matter and taught me a lesson, saying that I was too kind, so how to govern the country in the future......"

Song Yun'er was very sympathetic when she saw the prince's depressed appearance, and said softly and comfortingly: "Your Highness, you will be a benevolent monarch who cherishes the people in the future, and the people will support you even more!" ”

The prince smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's hurry back to Yang's mansion, and we have to rush to Lincheng, Shandong overnight." ”

The crown prince took the escort and returned to the Marquis Yang Mansion with Song Yun'er.

Yang Qiuchi listened to Song Yun'er tell what happened, he was both surprised and happy, and praised Song Yun'er for being smart. Immediately, he told the prince and Song Yun'er that after going to Lincheng to get the secret letter this time, he immediately went to the tomb of Concubine Xian in Yixian County to investigate the destruction of Concubine Xian's body, conduct a detailed autopsy, and find out the real culprit who destroyed Concubine Xian's body.

Then, Yang Qiuchi instructed Song Yuner in detail the matters that should be paid attention to and the specific methods for this inspection, and prepared the necessary equipment for her.

After a few days of starry nights, I finally arrived at the Lincheng Station.

Because the emperor lived in the Lincheng Station, and the emperor's favorite concubine also died in this station, it is very commemorative, so the Lincheng Station has been stipulated by the imperial court as a national key cultural relics protection unit, and it is well protected. According to Wang Sicai's location, Song Yun'er quickly found the small packet of secret letters wrapped in oiled paper under the tiles and handed it to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi opened it and took a look, it was really good, although there was no payment on the secret letter, but he recognized the handwriting of the third prince Zhu Gaosui, and he was sure that it was Zhu Gaosui's handwriting. The content of the secret letter was indeed to instruct Wang Sicai to assassinate the emperor.

With this secret letter, the case of poisoning Concubine Xian was finally revealed, Zhu Gaochi was relieved, and Song Yuner was even more smiling, but there is still the destruction of Concubine Xian's body that has not yet been clarified, this is also a matter of Ji Gang framing Yang Qiuchi, and we must continue to investigate, and we must not relax.

The prince and his entourage hurried to Yi County, Shandong.

According to Yang Qiuchi's instructions, the prince and Song Yun'er and their entourage first found the magistrate of Yi County, as well as the people who participated in the second coffin opening autopsy at that time to investigate and understand. Subsequently, he rushed to the Xianfei Mausoleum in Yi County.

Ji Gang framed Yang Qiuchi alone in the mausoleum, and under the pretext of an autopsy, it took two hours to destroy Concubine Xian's body. He sent the Jinyi guards to re-dig the mausoleum to find this problem, as the so-called evidence, the scene was preserved, and after the mausoleum crossing was closed, there was no backfilling, leaving several Jinyi guards to take care of the mausoleum.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi first investigated the Jinyi guards who guarded the mausoleum. One of the brocade guards was named Hong Tieta, tall and burly, with palms like a fluttering fan. The investigation learned that seven or eight people had entered the tomb at that time, and after opening the coffin, it was found that the body of Concubine Xian Niangniang had been cut to pieces with a knife. They all ran out in a panic, and then the flying pigeon sent a report to the commander of Ji Gang, and then closed the tomb.

After understanding what had happened, the prince ordered the Yulin avant-garde soldiers to open the entrance of the mausoleum, and the prince brought Song Yun'er and a criminal master who made records, and the three of them carried lanterns into the tomb.

When I entered the tomb, I saw the coffin lid overturned to one side, which was shocking.

Set up a wooden ladder to take a look, Song Yun'er was even more surprised, only to see that the body of the virtuous concubine in the coffin had been cut to pieces with a sharp blade, and the funeral items were turned into a mess.

Song Yun'er said in a trembling voice: "That's not right! I helped put the body of Concubine Xian into the coffin, and I swear, the body was still in good condition at that time! ”

The prince nodded: "You investigate carefully and see if there are any clues." ”

Song Yun'er took the lantern, carefully inspected it in the coffin, took out the fingerprint brush with the magnetic surname given to him by Yang Qiuchi before coming from her arms, and carefully brushed it around the inner wall of the coffin, and several handprints and fingerprints were displayed on the inner wall.

The prince sighed and was very surprised: "This ...... What's going on? ”

"This is a method that my brother taught me to manifest people's invisible mudras. We can compare the size and characteristics of this handprint, we can know who it is, and we can find out who destroyed the body of Concubine Xian. ”

Of course, Yang Qiuchi would not tell her how to identify the unique surname of the fingerprint, but the size of the handprint and some unique and obvious features on it were easy to understand, so he told her. In the case of a relatively small scope of investigation, this alone is sufficient.
