Walking outside the prison, Zhao Ling eagerly asked Luo Cheng: "Lord Luo, what do you have to say to His Highness?" ”

Luo Cheng said: "Your Highness, Weichen feels that Chu Shizi seems to be very resistant at this moment, and he believes that he killed someone, or he will pay for his life or exile him; To tell the truth, Chu Shizi can be seen to be a responsible and responsible man with such thoughts, but if he is still like this when we are trying our best to help him, it will not be good. ”

Zhao Ling could understand the meaning of Luo Cheng's words.

It's like a person who is drowning, and you try to pull him up on the shore, but he won't give you his hand, so you won't even give him a chance to save him.

Zhao Ling's face was anxious, and he said: "His Royal Highness naturally sees the negativity of the eldest brother at this time, but the current time is not easy for him to be negative anymore; Otherwise, as time passes, more and more people will know what he is doing, whether it is for himself or for the Jingbei Hou Mansion, it will have a great negative impact; Now that the old marquis is far away in Qingzhou, if His Royal Highness's father-in-law knows that his son has caused trouble in the capital, his father-in-law is old after all, and if he is deeply hit, sick or something, the military spirit of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding Qingzhou will be affected. ”

Luo Cheng listened to Zhao Ling's words and frowned; Yes, the black armor army in Qingzhou is the tightest line of defense to prevent the Northern Mongolian iron cavalry from trampling on our country, if Chu He really has an accident in the capital, the news will reach Qingzhou, so that those hot-blooded generals will know what happened to their young marshal in the capital, and then it will affect the foundation of my Great Wei border!

Luo Cheng thought about it, and finally told Zhao Ling about his discovery: "Your Highness, Wei Chen has a small discovery that I don't know whether to talk about or not, because this is just Wei Chen's own judgment, and there is no evidence to prove it at the moment." ”

Zhao Ling believed in Luo Cheng very much, and when he heard him say this, he immediately didn't even hesitate, and said, "My lord, just say it, Your Highness listen." ”

Luo Cheng looked at the future Son of Heaven in front of him with appreciation, believing that with the bearing and wisdom he is showing now, he will definitely become an even better emperor than Emperor Showa in the future.

Wei Chen carefully observed Chu Shizi's expression, and always felt that Chu Shizi seemed to have something to hide from us; From the moment he saw us, he kept repeating the fact that he had killed someone, and he also reminded us with words that he was willing to bear any responsibility for any crime, whether it was murder or exile. Your Highness, don't you feel strange when you hear these words? ”

Zhao Ling didn't understand the meaning of Luo Cheng's words, and said, "What does Lord Luo mean by this?" The eldest brother is a real gentleman, although the person he killed is indeed damned, but he does not make any excuses for the mistakes he has made, which shows that he is a person who acts upright; Didn't you praise him just now? Said that he was a man with responsibility and responsibility. ”

Luo Cheng said: "Shizi is indeed a responsible person, but if you think about it carefully, this time his responsibility seems to be a little too strong; Your Highness is a transparent person, and you should know that there is no one in this world who is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and everyone longs to live and fears death; Therefore, the first thing that comes to mind for anyone, no matter what mistake he commits, is to beg for mercy and survive; Chu Shizi killed Zhou Guifei, if his identity was ordinary, he would have been executed at this time; But he is the son of the Marquis of Jingbei, the young marshal of the Black Armor Army, and the elder brother of the crown princess. It's like standing behind him when his life is threatened, and he will never be left alone to carry everything; In such a situation, normal people will be ecstatic and give birth to the hope of living in their hearts; But what about Chu Shizi? Not only did he insist on the fact that he had killed someone, but he also said that if he killed someone, he would pay for his life, which made it clear that he didn't want to live. ”

Looking at Zhao Ling's cold face, Luo Cheng continued: "Chu Shizi is a hero, now he is in the year of the weak crown, and he has not even married the princess, he still has a lot of beautiful life to enjoy and squander, but he wants to cut off his life in his best years; Your Highness, don't you think it's strange? ”

Luo Cheng's words were simply an enlightenment to Zhao Ling, yes, he only cared about finding a way to save Chu He, but he ignored such an important place; Fortunately, Luo Cheng is an experienced figure, otherwise, he might have missed such important information.

"What does Lord Yiluo mean, why did the eldest brother do this?"

Luo Cheng couldn't say for sure, but he felt that this must be investigated, because it must be mixed with cats.

"Your Highness, the current situation can be regarded as barely stabilized by us, although Chu Shizi was sent to the heavenly prison, but in this heavenly prison, as long as you explain, no one dares to do anything to him; Although His Royal Highness King Heng is a short-tempered person, he has also been appeased by you; Your Majesty, you also invited the Holy Decree, as for the courtiers in the court, the big guys all know in their hearts, even for the sake of the old marquis's face, few people dare to jump out at this time and shout to punish the prince; After all, in the past two years, the Zhou family has produced a favorite concubine in the palace, and she has simply taken no one in her eyes and domineering to the extreme, but she has done a lot of disgusting and criticized things in the capital; Now that the Zhou family has lost Zhou Guifei, there must be many people watching the joke behind their backs, how can they stand up and speak up for the Zhou family? ”

"So Your Highness, now we have time to investigate Chu Shizi's 'strangeness' clearly."

Zhao Ling was told this by Luo Cheng, and all his thoughts followed, and he immediately thought of a few suspicious places: "Lord Luo may not know, His Royal Highness has long known that Zhou Guifei is a poisonous woman with a femme fatale, and now his father is recuperating from his body, and the affairs in the palace are basically handled by Mr. Fu; Since ancient times, the harem has always been a place of right and wrong, and His Royal Highness is worried that some people will take advantage of their father's cultivation and toss some pickled things in the harem; Therefore, the Imperial Forest Army was heavily sent to strengthen patrols and defenses in the palace, especially the Bird Wei Palace, where Zhou Guifei lived, was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army; Under such circumstances, the eldest brother was able to enter the Quewei Palace unimpeded and kill Zhou Yanran, His Royal Highness really didn't know what method the eldest brother used to do it. ”

Zhao Ling didn't tell Luo Cheng the truth, why did he send someone to surround the Birdway Palace, he just found a casual excuse to deal with it; Because this matter involved Chu Xingyue's secret, he really couldn't rashly tell others.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng is not the kind of person who is very curious, and he has almost no curiosity about exploring family affairs; Whatever Zhao Ling says, he will believe.

Hearing Zhao Ling's words now, Luo Cheng also felt very strange, the Imperial Forest Army is a master, although Chu Shizi's skills are also very good, but it seems a little impossible to hide so many masters from freely entering and exiting the Quewei Palace, which is guarded by the Royal Forest Army.

Unless it's ......

Luo Cheng made a bold assumption: "Your Highness, will there be anyone in the Royal Forest Army who has been bribed?" Or was he bought by Zhou Guifei, or was he bought by Chu Shizi? ”

Zhao Ling felt that this possibility was not very large, the Imperial Forest Army was a loyal guard subordinate to the Son of Heaven, if someone dared to extend his hand into the Imperial Forest Army, this would simply be provoking the authority of the Son of Heaven; First of all, just for this reason, Chu He would not have done this.

Besides, Zhou Yanran, even if she is like a fish in water in the harem, she is just a woman, under the nose of her father, does she dare to touch her father's royal army?

Seeing Zhao Ling shake his head, Luo Cheng fell into silence for a while; It's just that in Luo Cheng's silence, Zhao Ling's face became more and more ugly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly looked at Xiao Gang who was standing not far away.

He wanted to tell himself that this idea of his own was absolutely impossible, but, thinking about it, it seemed that only that person could do it.

Luo Cheng looked at Zhao Ling, whose face was faintly pale, took a step forward, and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, what did you think of?" ”

Zhao Ling glanced at Luo Cheng with flickering eyes, feeling as if his throat had been choked, and after the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times, he swallowed some words, and said, "No, His Highness didn't think of anything." ”

"Since His Highness didn't expect it, Weichen thought of another thing, would Your Highness be willing to hear it?"

Zhao Ling's face turned pale and looked at Luo Cheng's honest and dark eyes, and nodded, "My lord, please speak." ”

"Your Highness, have you examined Concubine Zhou's body? Have you seen it with your own eyes, exactly? ”

Zhao Ling didn't expect Luo Cheng to suddenly be interested in Zhou Yanran's body, and said: "His Royal Highness hurriedly entered the palace after knowing that Chu Shizi was in trouble, and met Commander Xiao on the way to the palace, and learned that after the imperial doctor's diagnosis, Zhou Guifei was indeed killed by someone who was shocked by a palm, which is very consistent with what Chu Shizi said just now." ”

Luo Cheng listened to Zhao Ling's reply, but he had his own opinions, and said: "Your Highness has not served in the Third Division, so you don't know much about our work process; Generally speaking, after we receive a homicide case, in addition to carefully reading the case materials, we will go to the scene as much as possible to take a look, and if possible, we will also find the body of the deceased and examine it again; In order to carefully review and leave no traces. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Cheng bowed to Zhao Ling and said: "Your Highness is noble, let Wechen do this kind of work of examining the body, wait for Wechen to go and see the entire crime scene again, and then come and discuss with His Highness how to save Chu Shizi." ”

Looking at Luo Cheng, who was doing his best, Zhao Ling's heart was still very pleased; Once again, I sighed that it was really the most correct decision for me to help myself.

"Alright, then it's all up to Lord Laulo."
