Chapter 281: Finding Evidence
The second prince didn't expect General Qiao to transfer his hatred to Qin Xuechu, which was good, and he made an excuse for him.
The second prince was even more happy in his heart, he rolled his eyes, and immediately said to General Qiao, "General, don't blame yourself anymore, now let's take care of An An's aftermath first, so that she can be under Jiuquan, and the matter of revenge will be discussed by us in the long run." ”
The eldest prince looked at Qiao Yuanwu's grief-stricken appearance, but there was no sympathy in his heart, he just wanted to know the truth of this matter, although Wu Anguo confessed before he came, the second prince was the most suspicious one, let him pay more attention, but the eldest prince still felt that the maid named Feng'er might be the most suspicious.
"Is this reasonable, this palace is a place where those assassins come and go whenever they want? It is so easy to stab someone, and take one away in a grand manner, how can the people in the palace feel stable? The imperial palace should be the safest place in the entire Qin Dynasty! ”
The eldest prince deliberately said this to Qiao Yuanwu, he wanted to see what Qiao Yuanwu thought about the guards of the Imperial Forest Army yesterday.
Qiao Yuanwu immediately "pounced", knelt in front of the eldest prince, shook his head painfully and said, "Your Highness, you must be aware of it, the patrol of the Imperial Forest Army yesterday was no different from usual, and the people were all assigned by me personally, and the various sentry posts have never seen suspicious people haunting." ”
The second prince looked at the suspicious look on the eldest prince's face, and sneered in his heart, this person was killed by him personally, the Imperial Forest Army naturally did not know about it, and there were naturally no suspicious people in the palace, and those Imperial Forest Army did their work very well, without a little negligence, but unfortunately, they still had to bear the pot of negligence for Qiao An'an's death.
"According to what you say, it is impossible for people outside the palace to become murderers, so that means that these are all done by people in the palace?" The eldest prince looked at Qiao Yuanwu, the expression on his face was serious, and his tone was even more aggressive.
Qiao Yuanwu thought about it carefully, nodded solemnly and said, "Your Highness, I can be sure of this matter, yesterday was the fixed day for me to randomly inspect the guards of the Imperial Forest Army every month, and the old minister personally walked through all the sentry posts, and there was nothing to do, this really has nothing to do with people outside the palace." ”
"Then it's sure that the people in the palace did it." The second prince immediately answered, he glanced at the eldest prince, and said with some disdain, "Your Highness seems to think so. ”
"Yes, it's a coincidence, last time I heard that the second emperor's brother gave a grounding order to that little maid named Feng'er, she couldn't go to your palace just by virtue of the token I gave her, why did she appear in your palace so coincidentally this time, and appeared in the courtyard of the princess again?"
The second prince's eyes flashed slightly, and the hand in his sleeve couldn't help but tremble slightly, he almost forgot about this matter, Qin Xuechu's grounding made her not even consider it in the plan, could this become a flaw in this matter?
"That may be the princess deliberately ordered the guards at the door to let her go in order to see her friends, otherwise, I'll grab a guard and ask?" The second prince looked at the eldest prince, his eyes slanted slightly, thinking about how to deal with it for a while.
The eldest prince looked at the second prince's frank appearance, and the doubts in his heart also went down, he glanced at General Qiao again, and said lightly, "The dead are the greatest, in this room, it is inconvenient for us to do such a thing, or let's go to the main hall to analyze and analyze the situation?" So that General Qiao has a bottom line in his heart about this matter? ”
When General Qiao heard this, he glanced at Qiao An'an on the bed with some reluctance, and then gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "I must catch the murderer, since His Royal Highness is interested in helping, then Qiao Mou will thank the eldest prince for An An." ”
"No, no, this is what should be done, there is such a big thing in the palace, if you can't find out the real murderer quickly, I'm afraid it will also make people panic, and there is no sense of security in this palace, so it won't be long before something happens in the palace."
The eldest prince looked at the second prince, and also returned it to the second prince word by word in a similar tone, "Second emperor brother, what do you think." ”
"Good proposal, then do it! Let's go to the main hall and have a good trial. ”
The second prince didn't even blink his eyes, and immediately agreed, he turned around and ordered the maid beside him to make tea and send it to the main hall.
The three of them came to the main hall, the eldest prince and the second prince sat in the center, and Qiao Yuanwu sat below, the three of them stared straight at the guard who had just been brought up, and General Qiao's eyes were even more vicious, so that the guard kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise his head.
"Tell me, how did you let that girl named Feng'er into the hall that day." The second prince blew on the tea lightly and asked lightly to the guard.
The guard looked up at the prince, and then swept Qiao Yuanwu beside him and the eldest prince above him in a little panic, and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, the little one was forced that day, and the little one stopped Miss Feng'er out of the door that day, but Ou Gongzi gave the little one some silver taels, and threatened to kill the little one if he didn't let Feng'er in, so the little one ......."
"So you let them in?" The second prince immediately interrupted the guard's words, he stared at the guard tightly, and motioned with his eyes to stop talking.
The guard looked at the eyes of the second prince, and was slightly flustered in his heart, so he swallowed his saliva and immediately nodded, "Yes, the little one didn't expect that something like that would happen later, that Feng'er girl and Ou Gongzi are both friends of the princess, and the whole palace knows it, and it is a small crime that deserves death, but please also ask for forgiveness for the sake of the little one who has worked hard for His Royal Highness for many years." ”
"You're derelict in your duties!" The second prince's expression immediately became hideous, he stood up, pointed at the guards and scolded angrily, "The princess was killed by someone like you!" You know? The assassin's target is Feng'er, and if you hadn't come in without Feng'er, this wouldn't have happened! ”
"Wait a minute!"
The eldest prince suddenly interrupted the second prince's words, his eyes full of suspicion.
Second Emperor Brother, how do you know so clearly that the assassin's target is Feng'er, not anyone else? Could it be that the second emperor brother, you are the one who knows the inside story of this assassin? ”
The eldest prince heard the clues from the words of the second prince, and he seemed to be very alert today, as if Wu Anguo was by his side.
The second prince was slightly stunned, he looked at the eldest prince in a daze, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he couldn't imagine that this wooden stunned man was not as easy to fool as he used to be, presumably, Wu Anguo should have taught him all these things carefully before he set off.
"Brother Emperor, think about it carefully, this assassin has kidnapped Feng'er in the end! If his target wasn't Feng'er, then why take her away? ”
As soon as the second prince's mind turned, he immediately came up with an excuse and quickly retorted.
