The prince nodded happily: "This method is similar to the immortal method, it's really magical!" No wonder Marquis Yang has solved the case like a god! ”

Song Yun'er grinned, leaned over, looked down at the inner wall of the coffin, and then took out a stack of white paper from her arms, then took out a small bottle of paste, applied a thin layer on the paper, cooled for a while, and after it was half-dry, it adhered to the handprints and extracted the handprints one by one. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Immediately, Song Yun'er carefully inspected the cut wounds on Concubine Xian's body, especially the incisions formed on the bones. This incision is different, Song Yuner compared and analyzed the different incisions according to what Yang Qiuchi had taught before, and explained to the prince while observing, and the prince nodded again and again, and his face was full of excitement. The criminal master made a detailed record on the side.

After the investigation was completed, the three of them went out of the tomb and instructed Yu Linwei to close the entrance of the tomb. Subsequently, several brocade guards who stayed behind such as the Red Iron Tower were arrested and interrogated.

After the interrogation, the prince allocated a team of Yulin guards to replace Jinyi Wei as the caretaker of the Xianfei Mausoleum. Then we departed for Beijing.

Back in the capital, the prince and Song Yun'er went back to Yang's mansion directly, and after telling Yang Qiuchi about the survey. Yang Qiuchi immediately made further arrangements.

……

――――――――――――――――――

Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi Yamen living room.

Ji Gangtie sat in the middle of the living room with a blushing face, staring at several high-ranking officials of the Jinyi Guard on both sides, listening to their reports.

An official said in a cold sweat on his forehead: "After the prince's Yulin avant-garde took over the Marquis Yang's mansion, the innermost ones were all his cronies and escorts, and our people in the Yulin avant-garde couldn't get close at all. So...... So I don't know what the prince has to do......"

Another Jinyi guard official said: "Yes, the prince is very cunning this time, when he went to the Heavenly Prison Execution Ground to interrogate Wang Sicai and them, only his cronies were left, and even the prison and prison officials could not get close. Not to mention the eyeliner we put in the prison...... Therefore, I don't know what he asked, but later this Wang Sicai was pardoned by the emperor and changed to hanging. From this point of view, this Wang Sicai must have said something, but the content is not known. ”

Ji Gang snorted heavily, and his face was even more ugly.

Seeing Ji Gang's appearance, the officials knew that Ji Gang was extremely angry, but this report had to continue, and an official said: "Leaving the prison, the prince went back to Yang's Mansion again, arranged a guard, and then took a team of Yulin guards and his escort team to Shandong in the starry night, and arrived at the Lincheng Post Station first, we couldn't get in, so I don't know what they were doing inside." Then I went to the Xianfei Mausoleum in Yixian County, conducted an investigation, and replaced our brothers stationed in the Xianfei Mausoleum with a small team of Yulin guards, and arrested several brothers, saying that they were involved in the case and needed to be investigated......"

Ji Gang asked coldly, "Which people did he leave behind?" ”

The official said the names of those people, Ji Gang's brows almost locked together, and he said to himself: "Could it be ...... What did the prince notice? ”

The official nodded: "It's very likely, these people were all at that time...... People who participated......"

Ji Gang asked, "What else does this prince do?" ”

Several other officials glanced at each other, and one said: "The prince entered the palace early this morning, and when he arrived at the emperor's Qianqing Palace, he has not yet come out." ”

"What about the Yang family? Is there any movement? ”

The official smiled awkwardly: "Our people have already withdrawn, so the news inside is not clear." ”

In fact, this is all Ji Gang's fault, at that time, he thought that his fabrication and framing had brought Yang Qiuchi into a situation where he could no longer recover, and it was impossible to turn over, in order to prevent Yang Qiuchi from using the escort team to resist, he ordered to withdraw all the two hundred escorts around Yang Qiuchi. Therefore, except for Nangong Xiong, Xia Ping and more than a dozen other sworn friends who were willing to live and die with Yang Qiuchi, the rest of the escort team all evacuated Yang Mansion.

It wasn't until Ming Chengzu decided to appoint the crown prince to re-investigate the case that Ji Gang realized that he had made a mistake. In the Yang Mansion, there is no longer his own eyeliner.

However, although Ji Gang was annoyed, he was not in a hurry. Wang Sicai, Concubine Shun and Gu Fuyin were all executed, and there was no proof of death, and the lies they fabricated were a sure thing.

Ji Gang thought for a while and said, "Tell the brothers in the yamen who participated in the operation of Concubine Xian's Mausoleum to go out and hide first, and then come back after the matter is over." I said that I had been sent to another province on official business. ”

The official agreed, got up and went out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a commotion in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen. A large number of Yulin avant-garde troops poured in and guarded the various intersections.

The officer was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Ji Gang hurriedly went out to the entrance of the living room of the yamen and asked loudly, "Hey! What do you do? ”

Yu Linwei ignored him, and after a while, he quickly and decisively took control of the entire yamen. All the brocade guards were gathered in the patio in front of the living room.

Ji Gang and several officials looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

At this time, a team of Ouchi guards rushed in again and quickly took control of the yamen living room. This made Ji Gang and the others even more surprised.

Immediately, Gonggong Li also walked in with a group of eunuchs and palace maids, parting ways, and then, Gonggong Li said loudly: "The emperor is coming, kneel to welcome~!" ”

When Ji Gang and the others heard that the emperor was coming, they were even more shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly lifted their robes and knelt down.

After a while, Ming Chengzu walked in with square steps, gestured to Ji Gang and other high-ranking officials of Jinyi Wei who were kneeling down to make them flat, and then stepped into the living room.

Ji Gang stood up, only to find that in addition to Gonggong Li, there were two people behind Ming Chengzu, one was the chubby prince Zhu Gaochi, and the other was Yang Qiuchi!

Ji Gang broke out in a cold sweat. He walked in and stood aside.

Ming Chengzu sat down and said: "Ji Aiqing, in the past ten days, the prince has almost completed the investigation of the murder of Concubine Xian by Yang Qiuchi and Concubine Shun and others, and some things need to be continued to be investigated in your Jinyi Wei Yamen, and you were in charge of this case before, so I decided to go to your Beizhen Fusi to try this case." Turning his head to look at the crown prince Zhu Gaochi: "Gaochi, tell me about the situation that has been investigated." ”

Zhu Gaochi bowed down and agreed, coughed, and said: "Erchen was ordered to re-investigate the case, and successively interrogated the co-defendants Wang Sicai, Gu Cabinet Bachelor and Concubine Shun, and the three of them said that they confessed under Jinyiwei's torture and confessed according to Jinyiwei's inducement. Saying that Yang Qiuchi and they colluded to murder Concubine Xian Niangniang is simply a non-existent thing......"

Ji Gang was anxious and said, "This ...... It is also common for criminals to retract their confessions on the grounds that they have been tortured into confessions......"

Ming Chengzu glanced at Ji Gang: "Ji Aiqing doesn't need to worry, after the prince finishes finding out the situation, you and Yang Qiuchi will talk about your opinions." ”

Ji Gang hurriedly bowed down and agreed, not daring to say more.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi then said to Ming Chengzu: "Erchen didn't dare to believe it at first, but after hearing Wang Sicai tell the real culprit behind the scenes, Erchen realized that there was probably something else wrong with this case. According to Wang Sicai's confession, Erchen arrested the eunuch Mi Xian, and without torture, this Mi Xian confessed. It is consistent with the confession of Wang Sicai and the two people. ”

Ji Gang was a little curious, he was bent on using this matter to rectify Yang Qiuchi, so he didn't seriously inquire about Wang Sicai. At the beginning of the interrogation of Wang Sicai, Wang Sicai did not confess at first, and Ji Gang also thought that Wang Sicai must have been instructed by one of the concubines to murder Concubine Xian, because Wang Sicai was arrested in the palace of Concubine Shun, although the two confessed that Concubine Shun asked Wang Sicai to send Cai satin, but Ji Gang determined that the concubine who instructed Wang Sicai was Concubine Xian, so he tortured Concubine Shun who had no background to extort a confession and induce a confession, and pulled Yang Qiuchi in by the way, and the case was decided. Therefore, Wang Sicai did not confess to the real instigator, but confessed in accordance with the inducement of Ji Gang and others.

Hearing the inside story of Wang Sicai's poisoning of Concubine Xian, Ji Gang was a little dumbfounded, blaming him for being too eager to solve the case at the beginning, and all he was thinking about was how to rectify Yang Qiuchi. Now I understand that no matter who the real instigator is, once it is verified, it will be proved that the case he decided is wrong.

Prince Zhu Gaochi continued: "According to the confessions of the two, it was not Concubine Shun and Yang Qiuchi who really instructed Wang Sicai to murder, but the third emperor's brother Zhu Gaosui. ”

Ji Gang was taken aback, hearing this name, he immediately figured out everything, he is extremely sensitive to politics, remembering the attempted coup d'état of Zhu Gaosui, the third emperor's younger brother in August last year, it is obvious that this and that coup d'état are a series of usurpation actions launched by Zhu Gaosui. He regretted that he did not interrogate Wang Sicai in detail at that time, if he could find out about this conspiracy, it would be a great achievement.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi then said to Ming Chengzu: "The assassination of Concubine Xian Niangniang is not their real purpose, their real purpose is to assassinate your father, the emperor is blessed by the gods, and there was an emergency twist at that time, and they were dealing with it all night, so they only poisoned Concubine Xian Niangniang at that time." ”

Ming Chengzu slapped it heavily on the table: "Gao Sui, this rebel!" The last time I was about to cut off his head, it was all your woman's kindness that pleaded with me. If you don't kill this rebel, you will suffer in the future! ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled innocently, didn't answer the words, and continued: "After the son reported to his father, he rushed to Lincheng, Shandong day and night, and according to Wang Sicai's confession, he extracted the secret letter written to her by her third emperor brother Gao Sui hidden under the roof tiles of the post station. So far, the case assigned by his father has been successfully solved. ”

After that, Zhu Gaochi took out a stack of paper full of words from his arms, bowed down and handed it to Ming Chengzu: "This is the confession of Concubine Shun, Gu Cabinet Bachelor, Wang Sicai and the eunuch Mi Xian, and the letter written by the third emperor brother Gao Sui to Wang Sicai, because the third emperor brother has been in a daze since he was hit on the head by Princess Yunlu last time, and there is no way to interrogate him, so the son did not interrogate the third emperor brother." ”

Ming Chengzu took it, looked through it carefully, and then handed the stack of paper to Ji Gang: "Ji Aiqing, you take it and take a look to see if it's right." ”
