Chapter Seventy-Two: The Murderer Is Someone Else

Before the head of the matter could reply, Su Guifei in the crowd interjected: "Could it be that the assassin is not familiar with the palace, thinking that this palace is inhabited by young and beautiful concubines, and he wants to do misdeeds, so he broke into the bed?" It was as if the flower thief's next target would be her.

The queen standing beside her glanced at her like a monster, and wanted to do something wrong? She could figure out how could a flower thief who didn't know whether to live or die come to the palace to pick a concubine's palace. Everyone else looked at her, too.

"The concubine is the widow of the emperor, and it is always inappropriate for an assassin to break into the bed, even if it is nothing, if the assassin is really a man, it will also damage the royal face?"

"It's nonsense! Since he is an assassin, he just asks for people's lives, how can he get on his face?" the emperor turned around when he heard this, and scolded her loudly in displeasure.

This is an insult to people's reputation, how could Prince Hui tolerate others to destroy the reputation of his mother, the emperor is really angry, this concubine is really a blind person, even if she has any taboos on weekdays, it is really stupid to be open-mouthed in such matters.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. The queen beside her lowered her voice and said, "If Prince Hui knew that his sister slandered his mother like this, this account would have been recorded." ”

A few words from the queen, Concubine Su's face was more ugly than seeing a dead man, how did she forget this stubble, she was used to it, regardless of the occasion, although this Concubine Zhuang was an outdated concubine, but her son was the powerful Prince Hui, if he knew that he had ruined his mother's reputation, he would not be able to plant him one day. And the emperor always has to walk in front of people, the prince is just a false name, if you want to gain a foothold, you still have to be able to find a position to stand firm in the court. Offend Prince Hui in case it is difficult for his son in the future. But because of the small loss, the big loss.

Seeing her frightened look, the corners of the queen's mouth flashed a subtle sneer, Concubine Su has relied on the emperor's favor to her in recent years, and the limelight has gradually flourished, and she is used to being flamboyant and high-profile on weekdays, not only does she not speak lightly, but she also covers herself everywhere in some things, the queen has long been dissatisfied with her, but although she is a noble person, she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, and she can't be too sharp in many things, and she can only not worry about her on the bright side, and now she has this opportunity to scare her. so that she can restrain a little, and also let out a sullen evil anger in her heart.

The emperor saw that Concubine Su's face was ugly, as if he knew that she was wrong, so he didn't say anything about her.

"Concubine Su has always been timid, and when she encounters this murder, she is afraid that she will be frightened, so don't blame her for talking nonsense for a while. The old queen mother was kind to the person who ate fasting and recited the Buddha, and she relieved the siege for her: "Concubine Su should go back to the palace first, drink some ginger soup and rest, don't be scared again." ”

"Mother Xie realized that the concubine was indeed frightened and confused, and she didn't choose to say anything for a while, hoping that the emperor would forgive her sins! If such a big event happened, the concubine couldn't sleep peacefully even if she went back. At this moment, Concubine Su lowered her eyebrows and looked a little pitiful.

In fact, she felt that it was more terrifying to go back, who knew where the assassin was hiding now, there were many people here, and there were guards guarding it, and it was safer. So although he was reprimanded by the emperor, even if he had a small grievance in his heart, he could only go to the stomach at this time, and he refused to leave.

If she doesn't leave, it's not easy for everyone to forcibly bomb her. With her here, she felt a lot more at ease, didn't say anything more, and stood quietly.

After this episode calmed down, the head of the Sentencing Division continued: "Judging from the scene, this assassin may not just be a simple assassination or vendetta, maybe there is something to ask the concubine or ask for something? And the scar on the neck of the concubine Niangniang, in addition to the fatal knife, there are also finger pinching marks, a knife can kill the need to pinch again, so it is concluded that the neck is first choked to avoid the concubine Niangniang shouting, and the pressure is fruitless before the action results in the mother's life. ”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads, agreeing with his analysis, did they ask for money, or some kind of treasure? The concubine didn't give it, and then the assassin gave a knife?

At this time, the Tianxi Palace has been surrounded by countless Praetorian Guards in three layers and three layers outside, and the soldiers are extremely vigilant, and now they are all noble people, and they can't miss the slightest, a palace that should be quiet and peaceful, because this murder case was instantly stained with a bit of mystery.

The minions of the Tim Ki Palace were gathered in a single room, guarded by guards, who would know that the assassins were not among them, and the thieves were difficult to prevent. The minions huddled in a heap, and they all saw deep fear in each other's eyes, terrified of their fate.

Who the hell is it? Kill someone and disappear without a trace. The patrol guards didn't notice anything, and the minions of the Tianxi Palace didn't hear anything.

Under the search of the palace by the guards, more people knew about it, and several older princes also rushed over when they learned the news, and the younger ones were in their own palace with their own mothers, guarded by their own guards.

The crown prince, the second prince Hetai, and the fourth prince Hebi are all here, and when Concubine Su saw her son coming, she had a backbone, and her heart was a little calmer.

A few people were just about to salute, and the emperor waved his sleeves and said, "Excuse me!"

Heyan and Hebi stood aside, Hetai went to stand beside the emperor, the emperor glanced at him, his face eased slightly, after all, Hetai has excellent martial arts, with him, he is not worried about how fierce the assassin can hurt himself, and Hetai is still in power after returning from the battlefield, and only he can compete with Prince Hui, and Prince Hui will come later, and he will not be too passive.

Although the assassination of the concubine is not controllable by manpower, but after all, dying in this palace, Prince Hui has become more and more arrogant in recent years, and he has the heart to suppress but has no way to start. When he succeeded to the throne, he had a lot of complaints, but his strength was not enough at that time, and now that his wings are growing, the wolf's ambition will be somewhat revealed, in case he makes a * of this matter, it will evolve into a terrifying political whirlpool, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Have you drunk?" The emperor suddenly smelled a smell of wine while thinking, and asked Hetai.

"I was a little bored and had a few drinks. Because of the hurry, he never changed his clothes, and the emperor forgave his sins. Hetai bowed his head and replied softly.

"Drink pleasantly, don't drink too much, it's not good for the body, if there is anything unpleasant to come to the mourning family and say, if it is for the Zhao family, the emperor and grandson don't have to take it to heart, even if she is willing, the emperor and the mourning family may not be able to see it, the emperor and the grandson of the mourning family are among the dragons and phoenixes, how can they play tricks, and let the emperor find a good one for you!" The queen mother frowned when she heard it, only because Hetai was pushed down the marriage by Miss Zhao and was depressed.

Thinking of the Zhao family, the Queen Mother was full of anger, and when she saw that Hetai had a bright future, she took the initiative to ask for marriage, and when she saw that Hetai was poisoned and could not be cured, she changed her mind again.

"Emperor Xie's grandmother cares!" Tsurutai said busily.

The emperor agreed with the queen mother's idea very much, and only said: "The emperor is brave and invincible, handsome and chic, why worry about a good couple, I have been planning for you in the past few days, but now there is a big incident in the palace, so I will let this matter go first." ”

"The marriage minister is not in a hurry, not in a hurry. Tsurutai said busily. The emperor nodded, and felt that Hetai knew how to judge the situation, and now was the time to be anxious and not to talk about it.

"Has someone from the Criminal Division and the Criminal Department come to check, are there any clues?" asked Hetai.

The emperor frowned and sighed: "The Shen Criminal Division has passed, but the maid was killed by the hidden weapon poison dart, the concubine is a knife wound, and there are pinch marks, saying that the murderer may be looking for something? "The more the emperor said, the more he hated iron and steel.

Hetai instantly wondered in his heart, Feng Xing and Feng Che have never used knives, although there are also hidden weapons, as far as they know, they are dragon claw hooks and sleeve arrows, and they don't use them when performing tasks, in order to be afraid of leaving weapon clues, assassination only uses ordinary daggers, and they will never use hidden weapons until they are surrounded by sergeants and can't get out, not to mention that it is extremely difficult to surround them with their martial arts.

The emperor actually said that the concubine and the maid were killed by knives and poison darts? For a while, Hetai was shocked in his heart, what was going on?

The emperor saw that he was pondering, and only thought about what he said, so he said: "The emperor is superb in martial arts, and he has fought countless battles abroad, and he has made a lot of friends, you go to the scene to see if you can find some clues, such as the murderer's method of killing, and whether the secret weapon used is the so-called unique secret weapon or something? ”

"Erchen obeys!" Hetai hurriedly walked into Concubine Zhuang's dormitory, but this time the investigation was not pretentious, because he was also anxious to know the truth, was it Feng Xing, Feng Che changed the method of killing, or did they not kill people at all?

With doubts, he carefully investigated the scene of the incident, and the people of the Criminal Justice Division respectfully reported their findings and conjectures to him. Hetai looked at the wound on Concubine Zhuang's neck and concluded that it was by no means the work of Feng Xing and Feng Che, although this murderer was also fatal with a knife, and it was also clean, but the strength and the traces of the knife were still a big difference compared with the two of them.

The murderer really had someone else! Kill Concubine Zhuang one step ahead of them! Hetai was terrified in his heart, so it seemed that there was really an assassin hidden in the palace, who was it?

He pulled out the poison dart on the maid's body, and examined it carefully, it was just an ordinary three-edged dart, with a red and green silk dart coat tied at the end, judging from the color of the maid's wound, the dart head was indeed fed with poison.

Because Hetai has also made friends with some people in the rivers and lakes, so he knows some rules of the rivers and lakes, and the upright ones pay attention to the dignified fighting, who feeds poison on the hidden weapon, or uses incense to make people unconscious and then stabs, it will be regarded as a yin damage trick, which is despised by the righteous path of martial arts, so even if there is no sect of people, as long as the person with a righteous heart rarely uses the poison feeding secret weapon and incense.

Only some sideways and some of the lower ones will smear the darts with poison or use incense to stun people to achieve their goals.

This is also the reason why Feng Xing and Feng Che easily do not use hidden weapons to assassinate, not to mention that they never feed poison on their secret weapons, no matter what circle, they have their bottom line, even the killer is the same. The same killing, but always try to follow the practice of not violating the bottom line.

"Father, according to the opinion of the sons, could it be the same party of the assassins at the last banquet, who has been dormant in the palace, waiting for the opportunity to move? After completing the inspection, Hetai bowed to the emperor.

"I also thought so, but the last case has been so long, and the waiter of the Criminal Department has not found out at all, and I can't worry about it at all, and now the old case is not closed, and a new case has been added. The emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty, you must be the master of your brother's life, and avenge your brother's mother!" At this time, Duke Yu came with Prince Hui in his arms, and before he entered the door, the voice came in first, and he saw his old tears and staggered into the door with crooked steps.

As soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees with a thud, crying silently. The emperor hurriedly left his seat to help: "Brother Wang, I must be the master for you, I have sent people to search the whole city, and if I find the murderer, I will kill the old lady with a thousand knives!" After a few times, Prince Hui got up, and the emperor personally helped him sit on the chair next to him, and he kept wiping his tears after sitting down, looking very sad.
