Chapter 113: Turning the Tide

The faces of the civil and military officials are even more strange, and they have all kinds of thoughts. In particular, Lord Jiang was even more weak-hearted, and yesterday he also reported to Prince Hui that Hetai was having a banquet in Surabaya, and it was impossible to solve the case. But now, he was beaten in the face. Prince Hui is sure to be angry with himself. Although I also had a good intention to report it. But everything has always been based on the result, not the process. Alas, he regretted it very much now, he had nothing to report anything, he ate his feast, and pretended not to have seen it. Alas, I regret not being at the beginning.

The emperor watched all this on the dragon chair, and his heart was very satisfied, Hetai was dozens of enemies, but he was not shocked, this kind of bearing was not easy to do even if he was himself, he quietly redeemed the respect of the ministers for himself, and hit Prince Hui hard.

"Your Majesty, now that the case has been solved, it is really a happy event that it has not only avenged the concubine, but also cleared up hidden dangers in the palace. Pingyuan Hou said at this time.

"The second prince broke this big case at the beginning of his tenure, his thoughtfulness and resoluteness, and the old ministers admired him, he was really a pillar of the country. Another neutral official also came out.

Cunning people have always been the icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow, afraid of freezing themselves.

"Heshangshu has worked hard for this case, and if the big case is solved today, I will definitely give a big reward, and those who participated in this case, whether it is an investigation or a trial, have all made great contributions, and all have rewards. The emperor was overjoyed. He is not stingy with rewards.

Then he said to Prince Hui: "Now that the case is revealed, Concubine Zhuang's spirit in the sky will also be at ease, Prime Minister, you can arrange a funeral, so that the concubine can be buried as soon as possible." "It turns out that this Prince Hui didn't mourn, in order to take this matter to the emperor's army, so as to punish Hetai, but I didn't expect to get anything now.

"Yes!" he replied, a little gloomy. The case has been solved, and there is no point in not mourning.

"I will personally go to pay my respects. The emperor said with concern.

"Thank you, Lord Ron. Prince Hui bowed down, and this sentence of gratitude had some sad sound.

As soon as he stood up, an official came out to ask: "Your Majesty, can you tell the courtiers why this assassin killed Concubine Zhuang?

In order to dispel everyone's resentment towards him just now, Master Cui said that the reason why the assassin killed Concubine Zhuang was unexpected, and sure enough, someone was curious, and now that they were not arguing, they came to ask.

Someone asked like this, and asked Prince Hui in his heart, just thinking about fighting with Crane Tai, but his mother's hatred was put on the back burner, anyway, he couldn't fight, and now he also cares about who killed his mother and concubine. For what?

Suddenly, he also asked: "The minister also wants to know, who is the murderer? Killing the minister's mother, the minister also wants to know, what clues did Shang Shu find and solve the case?" He was still entangled in his heart about how Hetai solved the case so quickly, and what clues let him know where the murderer was hiding.

"Yes, who is the murderer? The two cases are closed, and the murderer of the concubine is in the same group as the eight assassins?

Prince Hui's henchmen, like him, had all wanted to target and refute Hetai before, and they all wanted to drive him out of the court in the name of ineffective work, so they didn't care about the case and who the murderer was. Now it seems that this matter can't be overturned anyway, so they are all curious and want to know who the murderer is. Why kill a powerless concubine?

"Zhu Aiqing, you tell Zhong Aiqing about the whole thing. The Emperor gave the right of speech to the presiding judge of the Assassin's trial.

Lord Zhu, who was named, came out of the ranks, waved to the emperor, and said to everyone: "Do you remember the woman who played the guqin with the eight assassins when they danced?"

When it comes to dancing girls, these people seem to remember it vividly, and they turn their heads and ears.

"Those assassins are really beautiful girls, but it's a pity, they're assassins!"

"When they danced that day, there was a piano player who played the piano before them, and he was even more beautiful than them. ”

"The one who plays the harp?"

"Could she be a murderer?" The Assassins revealed their true colors, and I remember her being so frightened that she hid in the crowd. ”

They all nodded frequently, obviously remembering.

"The murderer of the concubine is her! The woman who played the guqin. Master Zhu said slowly.

Everyone was amazed and seemed to be in disbelief.

Lord Zhu seemed to be deliberately arousing everyone's appetite as if he was telling a story, and he seemed to be particularly enjoying the feeling that all the civil and military officials were staring at him and waiting for him to speak.

"Why? When those eight assassins assassinated, why didn't she make a move, why did she kill my mother?" Prince Hui couldn't hold his breath, really, he didn't usually find that this Lord Zhu spoke so slowly and logically. It's really a rush to death.

"She didn't make a move that day because although she was in the same group as the eight assassins, the mission was different, the mission of the eight assassins was to assassinate the holy driver, and her task was to find the treasure map, and she killed Concubine Zhuang because her superiors informed her that the treasure map was at Concubine Zhuang's place, and she asked for it at night, because she didn't give it, and took off her veil, so she didn't expose it, so she was angry with the killer. Master Zhu told the interrogation one by one.

"Treasure map, what treasure map?"

"Concubine Zhuang has a treasure map?"

"Shangfeng? The murderer still has Shangfeng, the killer group. It's horrible!"

"Prime Minister, you have to be careful, this murderer still has a peak, in case they don't give up and have to act. One of the officials worried.

"What do you have to do with Ben Cheng?" Prince Hui was puzzled.

"Since they have found Concubine Zhuang, it means that the treasure map is in the hands of the concubine, and now that the concubine is not here, if they look for it again, they must be looking for you, the prime minister. The official said, the implication is very clear, Concubine Zhuang's treasure map, you are her son, you must know, maybe it is in your hands?

"Yes, yes, Prime Minister, has the Prime Minister ever mentioned the treasure map? Or is there something to be handed over to the Prime Minister for safekeeping? ”

"No, no, Ben Cheng doesn't know anything about this. Prince Hui waved his hand repeatedly.

But where would everyone believe it, the assassin went to great lengths to lurk in the palace, it was definitely not groundless, Prince Hui should be afraid of people's concerns, so he denied it, he couldn't be ignorant.

Prince Hui looked at the expressions of the hundred officials, obviously not believing what he said, it was really strange, how did the wind change? Today's court meeting was obviously aimed at Hetai, why is it that they are all coming towards him now? What kind of treasure map? Don't say that I haven't seen the shadow, I haven't heard the mother concubine talk about it, but now I can't argue, and the more I deny others, the more I think he is covering up. Angry, he flicked his sleeves and turned cold. Too lazy to deny it anymore.

Master Zhu finished talking about what he knew, everyone was still unsatisfied, and there were many doubts, in order to solve everyone's curiosity, the emperor ordered Hetai to talk about his investigation process. Hetai restrained his grim face and momentum, and said as kindly as possible. lest the officials think that they are oppressive with momentum, after all, they will have to get along with the court in the future, if it weren't for those people who deceived people too much, he wouldn't have bothered to be angry with them.

said that he said it, but he still avoided the important and trivialized, such as his tricks to deliberately divert the attention of Prince Hui's people, such as the use of secret guards, such as the gold medal that the emperor gave him to come in person, and he used the gold medal to invite the Dali Temple Qing and the Imperial Doctor, such as Yu Die'er and the ones he said,......

just roughly said that he had made a private visit to Weifu, a lot of hard work of the officers and soldiers to investigate and secretly visit, plus many ice cellar autopsies, and finally found that the faces of the eight assassins were abnormal, so that they found that they were disguised masks, thinking that the murderer of Concubine Zhuang must have been hidden in the palace in this way, and then deduced that the murderer should still be hidden in the palace, so he searched overnight, checked his face one by one, and captured the murderer who was hidden by disguise.

He didn't deliberately ignore Yu Die'er's discovery, but he didn't want to involve her, after all, it would be terrible if people targeted her and thought that she was bad.

He only said it in general terms, but it still caused everyone's surprise.

The human skin mask will not change even when it dies? It is so mysterious, this gang of thieves is too cunning, and it is too terrifying, think about the familiar person next to you, maybe it is no longer the original person, but just wearing that face, it is terrifying to think about, the civil and military officials have an idea at this time, go back and check the people in their own house. to rest assured.

Prince Hui and Concubine Zhuang are mother and son, it is impossible not to know, they must not want to leak it. This is also the voice of everyone in the main hall.

There is also a common feeling that they feel an extraordinary bearing in Hetai, when he is angry, it makes people powerless to resist, even if he is approachable when he is not angry, even if he tries his best to show kindness when he speaks later, but that bearing is still like a sharp sword, pressing people without anything to say, and this kind of bearing is somewhat similar to the first emperor.

Sometimes it is a certain moment to turn things around! Just one early dynasty turns the situation around.

Although Prince Hui's henchmen are still his henchmen, and they will not change instantly, Hetai is different in the eyes and hearts of the ministers. At least he won't despise him so much, he used to only think that he was a reckless man with the honorable title of the prince, but now he seems to be a reckless man who has won the battle, no matter what, the case has been solved in a few days after such a long time. At present, the position of Shangshu is untouchable.

In this early dynasty, Hetai returned victoriously, and the emperor was also happy, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Hetai was summoned to the Xuanyi Palace, and praised it: "Tai'er, you did a good job this time, and you did not disappoint your father!"

"Father Miao praised, and asked his father to forgive his sins, and he did not report in advance if there was progress, which made his father worried. "Hetai pleases guilty.

The emperor shook his head and said: "No, you are doing the right thing, his eyeliner is all over me, even if it is by my side, it may not be safe, so it is not right not to say it." ”

Duke Yu served tea, and the emperor took a sip, "Fuzi, I am in a good mood today and my appetite has increased greatly." I don't know what to eat for lunch today?"

The imperial dining room is actually almost the same every day, and the emperor never asks, every time he asks recently, he generally asks about the fish butterfly, because only the fish butterfly is often changed, and although it is not a rare ingredient, it is always done to be ingenious, which makes the emperor eat happily, and always makes him worry about it.
