Chapter Ninety-Eight: Planting the Root Cause
"Tell me, it's dark, it's a waste of time, time is limited, now it's going to be done at the same time, go to the criminal department now, and immediately detain him for arraignment, as for the case, just go to the criminal department and let Fluttershy read the file." Tsurutae looked at Butterfly, "Fluttershy, you go with this king." ”
Think you're wasting your time? I just said I wasn't in a hurry, but now I'm in a hurry to get into the house? Anyway, it's up to him, and what he says is what he says, Cui Li sighed. It shows his wordless resistance.
"I ...... I'm going to the Criminal Department too?" Yu Die'er hesitated.
Hetai nodded, and said gently, "Fluttershy doesn't need to be pressured, this king doesn't have to let you go to analyze anything, just to leave you here, this king is not at ease, I'm afraid that I have no intention of working, you are by my side, I can be more down-to-earth." "Hetai's eyes are bright, only warm.
Because of the incident of Feiquan Zhai just now, he really couldn't let go of her alone. Who knows if Hebi will have any bad intentions, so I just want to take her with me at the moment.
"However, I also stewed medicinal food, and I will send it to the emperor at noon. Yu Dieer said.
Hetai pondered for a while, "It's already done, then order the palace people to send it, and this king will go and tell his father to borrow you for two days." Help Ben Wang analyze the case. "The stakes are very high, and he believes that the emperor will definitely agree.
After spending some more time and arranging everything properly, Hetai took Die'er and a group of people out of the palace.
Hetai explained to the accompanying guards as he walked, and ordered them to hurry up and execute them after leaving the palace. Then go to the official office of the criminal department to meet with yourself.
This time, there is no sedan chair outside the palace gate, only horses, maybe because of errands, riding horses will be faster.
The guards had an errand on their side, and when they arrived outside the palace, they said goodbye to Hetai and rode their horses.
An accompanying eunuch brought a horse to Hetai and asked him to mount it, which was his horse, snow-white, without a trace of variegation, and his hair was shiny, as if he was covered in silver threads. can travel thousands of miles a day, follow him to gallop on the field is never ambiguous, the eyes are blazing, always flashing with two energetic eyes, a pair of ears towering high on the door of the head, as if listening to the movements around him at any time, it seems to be extremely alert.
The mane is neatly trimmed, and it shakes when it walks, making it look more powerful, and a bunch of white tails, with a gentle flick, like a silver lightning bolt dangling in front of your eyes, very chic.
Hetai gently stroked the horse's mane, looking like an old friend for many years, no wonder he cherished this horse so much, how many hardships and obstacles, how dangerous and vicious battles were all walked together. He tapped the horse's back a few times, as if to say hello, and then turned over and jumped on the horse's back and took the reins.
Yu Die'er saw that there was no sedan chair, just wanted to say that she couldn't ride a horse, before the words came out, Hetai leaned over and picked her up, after she exclaimed, she felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and she was on the back of the horse, and she was tightly hugged by him in her arms in a panic, the horse galloped, and the bumps continued, Yu Die'er felt that she was almost going to fall down a few times, and hurriedly turned sideways and firmly grasped his clothes.
The etiquette of going to it, it is still important to save your life at the moment, and falling down is not a joke.
There is no fragrance of spices on him, but he has a clean, crisp smell that is characteristic of men.
Hetai glanced down, and when he saw the nervousness on her face, a look of uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Hold tight, this king is not responsible for falling." Then the legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped like a gallop, and Butterfly could only hold him tightly and dare not let go.
"How is this horse?" asked Hetai suddenly.
"Huh?" Yu Die'er didn't react for a moment.
"How is this king's horse than that of the Pinglian River?" Seeing that she didn't understand, Hetai asked more carefully.
The last time he saw Die'er praising Pinglianchuan's horse, he held his breath, and now he has the opportunity to show his horse, hoping that Die'er can also praise it.
"The prince's horse is good, but it is too tall, I like the smaller ones, and I feel safer to ride. At the very least, if you fall, you can get closer to the ground. Yu Die'er talked about him left and right, and successfully changed the topic.
Her serious expression made Hetai cry and laugh. When did falling close to the ground become a condition for choosing a horse?
The group rode their horses and galloped, and soon arrived outside the official office of the Criminal Department. After dismounting and entering the ya, he took Cui Li and Yu Die'er into the back hall of the official office, and the file that Hetai had finished reading was still there. He took it and showed it to Yu Die'er, and she sat down to look at it carefully. Hopefully I can help him a little.
He asked Cui Li to accompany him here, and he went out of the back hall by himself, there should be a lot of things to be done and explained, Yu Die'er didn't care, and her eyes only stared at the file carefully. Say a few words to Cui Li from time to time.
Here, Hetai took Yu Die'er out of the palace and investigated the case intensively, but Hebi was not so comfortable. After Hetai asked him to get out, he hid in the side hall in shock, and only came out of the side hall when Hetai took the fish and butterflies out of Feiquan Zhai.
Seeing the panicked servants in the courtyard, he instantly became angry and said, "What's the matter, how could he come in? What are you going to eat? Let people in without my permission." Don't you know how to stop it?" he reprimanded fiercely. Today's disgrace made him angry.
"The four princes forgive their sins, spare the minions, the minions really can't stop it. "The eunuchs and palace ladies knelt on the ground, and they all pleaded guilty.
"As soon as the second prince came in, he was vicious, and he didn't allow me to get close, who dared to stop him, just like that?" A eunuch said in a resigned manner, stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone carving landscape in the courtyard, and the stone carving beast was slammed off, falling to the ground and shattering into countless stones. Those who watched were shocked.
"Did he destroy this?" said Hebi's eyelids fluttered.
"Yes, the second prince was crushed with one palm, and I didn't dare to step forward. The eunuch pleaded guilty with tears on his face.
"Rubbish!" Hebi scolded, in fact, he was also afraid for a while, fortunately, he hadn't touched the woman yet, if he did, I don't know how Hetai would treat him, and he was also in a cold sweat when he thought about it. So if you pretend to curse, you won't be held accountable.
But the eunuch who didn't know how to die said: "The master is also a prince, and they are all royal blood, why is his second prince so arrogant, why does the master suffer from him?"
"You know a P, he kills people like hemp on the battlefield, and I don't have to be him, and I haven't beaten him?"
"If you can't beat it, if you can't beat it, you can ask the emperor to call the shots. The eunuch said again.
"Now that he has an official position, he is a celebrity in front of his father, and I am a good man who does not suffer immediate losses. Hebi said so, but in his heart he also found that he was inferior to him in everything.
"Yes! yes!" the eunuch agreed.
"It's said that the sky is broken, but it's just a woman, what if you touch it? The second prince is so enthusiastic that he doesn't care about brotherhood. His personal eunuch whispered.
"What are you talking nonsense? I didn't touch it, I just gave her something, who knew that her eyes were higher than the sky and she didn't want it, I was angry and taught her a lesson, but the second brother thought I had a plan and misunderstood. Today's events are all a misunderstanding. You are all rotten in your stomach, no one is allowed to say it, if someone spreads it and ruins my face, I will not spare it!" Hebi clarified, even though he was dissatisfied, he still remembered Hetai's secret weapons and threats clearly, and did not dare to speak indiscriminately.
"Yes! Yes! ”
"The four princes rest assured, the slave and maid remember. ”
"Didn't you say in the morning that you saw the second child take someone out of Haoyuezhai, why did he come back again?" Hebi looked at the little eunuch and said angrily, it was because he listened to the slave's words that he was so unscrupulous.
"The slave really saw the second prince go out, and he didn't know how he came back. And even if you come back, why don't you come directly to us. The eunuch who was questioned also seemed very wronged.
"Master, did the imperial lady come with a palace maid? When I entered the courtyard, I saw that there was only one female official, but a little palace maid was probing her brain at the door, and then she disappeared. It must have been the palace maid who went to report to the second prince. A little eunuch on duty in the courtyard guessed.
"Oh?" After he said it, Hebi also remembered that Yu Die'er was with a palace maid, but it seemed that the slave maid had not entered the courtyard, and she was dizzy at that time and did not pay attention to the details. Now that I think about it, that's how it should be. It must have been the maid who went to report the news, and Hetai would come to him to look for someone, otherwise how would he know that Yu Die'er was here?
"You go and inquire about the details of the palace maid, hum! Bad things for me, I can't spare her!" Hebi said viciously, waved his big sleeves, and went back to the palace, and the little eunuch who took the errand went to do it.
I can't fight the second child now, and I can't move the imperial lady, can't I fight a slave and maid? The account between Hetai and Yu Die'er will naturally be counted in the future, so let's take the little palace maid out of anger now. It's kind of collecting some interest.
Hebi's desire for revenge made him remember all his resentment on Qiu Ying. Thus the root of the bane was sown!
Yu Die'er is still pondering what is written in the case file, there are many doubts or unreasonable places, maybe it is because of this that the investigation of this case has not progressed for a long time.
For example, the eight female assassins, there are no loopholes in their identities on the surface, they are all light and good at dancing girls who were personally selected by the dance and music supervisor many years ago, and they entered the court as dancing girls, and their family backgrounds have also been strictly inspected by the inner chamberlain, and they are all innocent people, after the case, they also sent people to those women's homes for interrogation, according to the family, before the daughter entered the palace, she had never left the door, and she had never stepped out of the second door, and it was impossible to participate in any organization, and she had never learned martial arts.
It is unbelievable how he has a normal identity and background, but he has become an assassin with martial arts overnight. It also puts the investigation in a difficult position.
Could it be that someone transferred the bag of the dancing girl in the palace? But a living person, the murderer and the real dancing girl will not be the same in words and deeds, how can they imitate without missing flaws, and the appearance cannot be the same so that people can't distinguish it. So now it seems that this idea is also difficult to hold. Unless you can explain how the Assassin can turn herself into a dancing queen, no one will be able to see the flaw.
She and Cui Li were discussing when a subordinate came in and called the two to the ice cellar, saying that Hetai had already gone there.
