Chapter 110: The Truth in the Confession Is Revealed
When the sky was white, the group walked out, but fortunately, there was a hint of relief on their tired faces, and it seemed that they had gained something.
"It's almost early, everyone Aiqing has worked hard to try the case, so they will have breakfast together in my Xuanyi Palace, and it will be convenient to go to the court later. The emperor smiled.
"Long live the food!" Several people thanked them and went to the Xuanyi Hall with the emperor.
The feelings of the two adults Zhu and Cui at the moment are really complicated. Isn't it clear to them that this is just an excuse for the emperor to put the two of them under house arrest in the palace, so that he will not go out to report to Prince Hui. I knew in my heart that I couldn't refuse, and refusing was disrespectful, so the two of them seemed to be preoccupied and helpless, and the expressions on their faces were very strange. I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat breakfast when I wait a while.
Yesterday, they were still discussing with Prince Hui, and in the early dynasty, they would go together to ask Hetai for results, because tomorrow would be the seventh day of Concubine Zhuang. But Hetai actually ordered someone to call him to the palace in the middle of the night, and then pretended to be a ghost and let him put on the clothes of the guards, saying that he invited them to watch the play, but he didn't expect to quietly solve the case overnight.
Prince Hui still doesn't know anything about it, and if he makes trouble again in the early dynasty, he will definitely make a fool of himself. But they can't help it, and they can't control him, people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and they can't help but listen to the emperor at the critical moment, so now slip away and report the news. Even if you have this heart, you can't slip away.
Moreover, the world is so big, it is not the king's land, if you disobey the emperor, where can you escape? The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how powerful you Prince Hui is, he is also a minister, and the emperor is always the king! They can recognize this clearly, so although they are in collusion with Prince Hui behind their backs, and they all seconded Prince Hui's remarks in the court, but now that Prince Hui is not here, of course they have to listen to the emperor.
Except for Hetai, who is still calm, he doesn't seem to be happy after making a great contribution. Others are happy and worried, these two adults are uncomfortable, and the others are happy.
For example, Qian Shilang is face is happy, this is a case solved by the Criminal Department! Finally, the case has been solved, and his heart can be put down, and at the same time, he also has great admiration for the new Shangshu in his heart. When I called him over, I thought I was going to ask myself how I was investigating, but I didn't expect to let myself witness the arrest of the murderer.
The head of the sentencing department was also relieved, carrying unsolved cases on his back, always heavy, now it's okay, I can eat comfortably for a few days.
Several people had different moods, but they also had something in common, that is, they were surprised, the Assassin's confession was simply shocking to them at the time, the reason for the treasure map, the reason why he killed Concubine Zhuang was actually for the treasure map, and the female assassin who turned into Jing Lan was actually the woman who played the guqin at the banquet of King Hetaifeng, and the eight female assassins belonged to the same organization. And it's not from Qiuchi. Only Dao is an organization in the outer regions, because when the two countries were at war, Qiu Chi soldiers killed their relatives on the peak, and the peak hated Qiu Chi to the bone, so he came to seek revenge. Assassins who had been trained for several years infiltrated the assassination of the emperor and the royal people. to relieve grievances.
However, when the eight female assassins carried out the assassination, Jing Lan did not help, but pretended to be frightened and hid in the crowd, so no one suspected that the assassins had accomplices, and it was the musician who played the piano. And she didn't make a move because the mission of her trip was not to assassinate, but to lurk in the palace to find a treasure map, a rumor to fall into the Qiuchi Palace, a thing with a hidden treasure map, she was the first to sneak into the palace, but unfortunately there has been no result.
Until not long ago, Shangfeng sent someone to send a secret report, saying that the treasure map was in Concubine Zhuang's place, so she quickly took action, she sneaked into Concubine Zhuang's room and forced her to hand over the treasure map, but Concubine Zhuang didn't understand it, insisted that there was no treasure map, and in the struggle, she also ripped off her mask and killed her in order to protect her identity. The treasure map has no clues.
According to Jing Lan's confession, this is a huge treasure hidden by an ancient dynasty! After this world, it is enough to build a kingdom of wealth, who is not tempted? Even the emperor's eyebrows moved a few times. But she didn't know anything about the treasure map, she was just a small hidden assassin who was ordered to act. As for the organization she belongs to and who her peak is, she would rather die than say it.
Since she was ordered to find it, it shouldn't be groundless, how could she know the general appearance of the treasure map, whether it was a map, a painting, or something hidden in it?
But Jing Lan didn't say a word about Ren Ren's death, I don't know if she really didn't know, or if she didn't say it, so she had to be put in the prison first, closely guarded, and only waited for the follow-up retrial. I don't know if the concubine Zhuang inadvertently collected treasures from time to time without knowing it? There is no proof that he is dead. The Assassins had to ask her to find out the whereabouts of the treasure map, and now that she is dead, the matter may be a mystery forever.
Although it is a pity, this night was not in vain, at least the case of Concubine Zhuang was closed, and the reason for the assassination was also revealed, which can be regarded as solving the mystery, and this case can also be closed together with the case of the eight assassins.
It's just that Qiu Chi has come down from the dynasty and has fought a lot, but I don't know which country's bull ghost and snake god are here to take revenge, and who they killed, so they don't hesitate to build an organization to raise assassins and stage such a deliberate revenge plan.
A breakfast was not tasteful, and everyone was still speculating about the treasure in their hearts.
Although maybe this is just the news from the mysterious organization, it is better to believe that it sent someone to find it, but it is a treasure, so whether it is true or not, it has touched people's hearts.
Commander Xu and the guards also didn't close their eyes all night, and stepped up patrols in the palace, patrolling everywhere in case anything happened again.
Yu Die'er didn't sleep that night, but she didn't know that such a big thing happened in the palace, and she didn't know that Hetai had caught the murderer.
I just felt that there were too many things pressing on me, I couldn't sleep, I sat and waited in the middle of the night to read, looking at the codex medical book obtained in the valley, the dense words of the codex, which seemed to have a magical power, attracted her eyes, page by page, hoping to find a little bit of a record of the poison in herself, no matter how light and breezy it looked, no matter how calm her mind was, but she still didn't want to lose her face. In this life, she still plans to live a wonderful and happy life? God can't joke with herself like that. I was killed in my previous life, and in this life, I want to be poisoned and die?
When I saw something important and thought it might be useful, I took a notebook and recorded it, and it was not until the time of the child that I put it away and rubbed my sour eyes. She likes to be quiet, and she has already sent the peony to rest, and besides, there are people who can't meditate when she reads.
The wind is blowing, the half-open window blows in the slightest breeze, the wind in the middle of the night is a little cool, outside the window, the cool wind also blows the sleeping flowers, quietly, carefully, but I don't know how many petals will be blown off, that quietly falling, it seems that there will be a mind that can not be thought of.
Whether it is the moon on the horizon or the swaying flowers, they can't arouse the slightest interest of the fish and butterflies at this time. She went to close the window, took out the basket of threads from the cabinet, sat down at the table again, and did something, and found a piece of cloth that looked quite shabby from underneath, cut it, and carefully and carefully followed the flying needle. The dim candle flame flickered, illuminating her eyes, burning brightly. With the light of hope.
Suddenly, the needlework she was doing in her hand seemed to her, and in the blink of an eye she turned into a big mouse, staring at her with small round eyes, and frightening her to throw her out.
"You hurt me, you hurt me!" An inexplicable voice sounded in the room, and there seemed to be several strange eyes staring at her at the same time on the walls around her.
Damn! The hallucinations died down for a few days, but they finally came again. The moment she was afraid but knew it would come sooner or later, it really came again.
Yu Die'er seemed to have been guarding this moment in her heart, although her heart was in her throat, she couldn't help but scream.
I was still looking forward to maybe it would be inexplicable. It seems that everything is extravagant. What should come will always come, not that if you want it to be gone, it will not be there, but if you want it to disappear, it will disappear.
Hallucinations, boundless hallucinations strike. She closed her eyes, forcibly calmed herself, and kept telling herself that it was fake, all fake, everything was fake, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. chanting like a sutra.
After this wave of hallucination attacks, she only felt dizzy and pinprick-like pain, she was afraid that she would be unconscious, so she immediately took a Dragon Soul Tianyuan Pill, originally wanted to carry it, after all, this pill is rare, and the quantity is not much, and she is still reluctant to use it until the critical moment.
It's been seven days since the last pill was taken, and it seems that the amount of time a pill can last is so long. After taking the pill, her mind regained her clarity, and she insisted on finishing the guy in her hand and cleaning it up. and then lay down on the bed.
But she couldn't sleep, so she tossed and turned in bed bored, turned over, and turned over again.
She turned very slowly, and very lightly, like a big caterpillar tumbling in boredom. Cute and funny.
Tossing until the window let in the light, she fell asleep in a daze.
She just slept here, and the emperor over there had washed and changed his clothes, and took Hetai and his party to the morning court, in fact, in some aspects, the emperor is not easy to do, looking at the infinite scenery, but it is difficult to sleep even a lazy night. Getting up from a deep dream all day long to go to the morning court, which is more uncomfortable than death for Yu Butterfly, who loves to sleep when he has nothing to do, especially for those who love to sleep lazy.
Shhhhhh
The majestic Jinluan Treasure Palace, the emperor is dressed in a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, overlooking the hundred officials, today's emperor looks radiant and radiant.
"There is a morning music, but there is no retreat!" on the side of the dragon chair, the eunuch shouted.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music. Prince Hui, who was the right prime minister, slowly walked out of the ranks, walked to the center of the main hall, and bowed his upper body slightly.
"What is the prime minister's performance?" the emperor was slightly stunned, and Prince Hui was secretly happy in his heart.
All this seems to be very calm, and the emperor has nothing to say, it seems that there is no progress in the case, which just caught him off guard.
