Seeing that the emperor was angry, the second prince's body trembled.

He secretly scolded himself for being stupid, how could he lose his square inch like this!

If he hadn't been recruited into the palace so unprepared, he wouldn't have been in chaos, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but now it's hard to ride a tiger and trap himself.

Even the surrounding officials were scrutinizing him and Captain Zhai.

The second prince's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Erchen guessed." ”

"Hold on!" said the Emperor angrily.

The guards naturally didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly escorted the second prince down.

The entire imperial study was quiet all of a sudden, and many people looked at Captain Zhai.

Captain Zhai stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is really wronged, I don't know why the second prince framed the minister like this, the Qing is self-purifying, Weichen is willing to take over the investigation and prove his innocence." ”

The emperor's eyes looked at Captain Zhai and said, "Then Captain Zhai should stop his duties until the truth is thoroughly investigated." ”

Captain Zhai lowered his head, unable to see the emotion in his eyes clearly, but responded indifferently: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The second prince was taken into the prison by the emperor in this way, which is unexpected.

However, the evidence of the Criminal Department is complete, even if the second prince can save his life and maintain his status, he will not have a chance to be the prince.

After all, such a person is really not suitable to be the king of a country.

It's just that at this time, the three princes are still in Cangzhou for disaster relief, otherwise another group of people will write to admonish the three princes as the crown prince.

Taiwei Zhai was deprived of the power in his hands, and before the case was resolved, he naturally could no longer participate in the affairs of the court.

"Bang!"

Captain Zhai slammed his fist on the table, and even the teacups on the table shook, and the people around him were all frightened by his action.

It's just that no one dares to persuade him, after all, the captain is angry at this time, who is still rushing to find himself unhappy?

"All go out!" Captain Zhai scolded.

When the subordinates heard this, they all retreated.

Thinking that the second prince almost recruited himself just now, Zhai Taiwei's heart was about to jump out.

That idiot, how could he want to support him to sit on the throne of God!

Sure enough, there is still a gap between him and the third prince Rong Qi, if he has no choice, how could he defect to Rong Yu.

Now that Su Guifei is not a ghost or a ghost, she is basically dead in the emperor's heart, and the fifth princess is even more useless, and the people who are won over by the second prince have in turn affected them, and it is really a mess.

In such a bad situation, it is really a fool's dream to think about winning the position of the prince.

The butler walked in from outside and reported, "My lord, Deputy Commander Li asks to see you." ”

Captain Zhai changed his mind and said, "Let him in." ”

The butler retreated, and after a while, he came to the main hall with Deputy Commander Li.

Deputy Commander Li stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Taiwei." ”

Zhai Taiwei said: "No need to be polite, now that I have been suspended from my position by the emperor, and I have to accept the investigation of the Criminal Department, if you come here at this time, you are not afraid that they will find your head?"

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have been ordered to come over to Lord Taiwei to hand over some official duties. Deputy Commander Li said, "After all, the emperor has suspended the duties of the adults, but if some things are handled, they still have to go through the hands of the adults." ”

Captain Zhai finally relieved his mind.

He said: "I didn't expect that kid from the Criminal Department to have some ability, and he can pull the second prince into the water in just a few days!"

Zhai Taiwei gritted his teeth when he said it, after all, he thought that Ji Wenxu was a fledgling, the first time he handled the case, and when he encountered such a tricky and difficult case, he naturally would not gain anything, where could he know, he was really found out of the evidence.

Deputy Commander Li said: "I heard that kid was brought out by Qi Tixing, although it is the first time to investigate the case alone, but to be appreciated and promoted by Qi Tixing, there must be two brushes." ”

There was Qi in the Criminal Department who was sentenced, and Dali Temple was flawless, and the two of them didn't make a move, and Captain Zhai was relieved at that time.

But I didn't expect that my subordinates hadn't been able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Seeing Taiwei Zhai's displeased look, Deputy Commander Li said, "My lord, do you want us to give the kid surnamed Ji to ......?"

He made a motion to wipe his neck.

Captain Zhai glared at Deputy Commander Li and said, "Killing that kid at this time doesn't it mean that we are weak-hearted! ”

If it weren't for the people of the second prince who were startling the snake, how could they make a mess of things now.

Deputy Commander Li said: "The subordinates don't think that it was His Royal Highness the Second Prince who assassinated Ji Wenxu before, and the Second Prince seems to have only known about it, it is impossible to send someone to assassinate Ji Wenxu so quickly, even if it is an assassination, it can't be so conspicuous, and he hasn't killed anyone yet." ”

Hearing this, Captain Zhai's brows furrowed.

When I calmed down, I found that this suspicion was full of suspicions, wasn't it a trap for Ji Wenxu from the bottom?

But even if it was a trap under him, now he has put the second prince and himself into it.

A hint of sinister viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, our people are clean, and they will never be able to find our heads. Deputy Commander Li said, "Even if the second prince enters, we can still get out of the way." ”

Hearing Deputy Commander Li's words, Captain Zhai smiled bitterly: "It's impossible." ”

Deputy Commander Li looked at Captain Zhai in bewilderment.

Captain Zhai said: "I suspect that the people of the Three Princes' Party have noticed that I have taken refuge in the Second Prince. And even if the Third Prince's Party is helpless against me, the Second Prince may not be willing to let us go, he almost confessed me in front of the emperor, let alone in the future. ”

Thinking that he was almost exposed, Captain Zhai's eyes were extremely gloomy.

He's been in business for so long, he can't get into trouble and get nothing.

Deputy Commander Li said: "Do you suspect that if we don't rescue the second prince, the second prince will drag us into the water?"

After thinking about it, there is indeed such a possibility.

This matter was originally instructed by the second prince to do it, but now that Zhai Taiwei is fine, the second prince was arrested as a murderer, how could the second prince be willing?

The second prince can even kill the whole family ruthlessly to kill the whole family, but he just pulled Captain Zhai into the water, and a person like him naturally did it.

So in order not to let himself go down, Captain Zhai only had two choices.

Either kill him quietly, or rescue him.

"Now the third prince is in Cangzhou for disaster relief, if the second prince takes the throne at this time......" Captain Zhai's eyes moved slightly.

Hearing Taiwei Zhai's words, Deputy Commander Li's eyes widened: "My lord, you mean to help the second prince force the palace?"

Taiwei Zhai glanced at Deputy Commander Li, this was his confidant, so naturally there was no need to worry.

"What, are you scared?" said Captain Zhai, "but we only have this one option left now. ”

If the people from the Criminal Department continue to investigate, the evidence is ironclad, and once the second prince's charges are confirmed, he will definitely recruit himself.

After these days of getting along, he knew that the second prince was holding grudges, and this time the task was something he gave him to do, but he was involved in it, and when it was time to confess, he naturally pushed most of the things on him.

Killing the second prince is a choice, but it is not easy to kill people under the emperor's nose.

Moreover, the second prince has a lot of advisers and henchmen around him, and although he knows that although there are not many people assigned by the second prince, he may not be able to kill them all.

This path will not work.

Even if he is convicted and demoted, the third prince will be crowned the prince in the future, knowing that he is a member of the second prince and the party, he will naturally not have any trust in him.

His life is over.

So now, he has only one choice, which is to help the second prince force the palace and win the throne in one fell swoop, so that he is the hero.

"But if it is defeated, it is a great crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan. Deputy Commander Li said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy." ”

Zhai Taiwei said: "Now is a good time, the third prince is not in Chang'an, and the other princes are not on the stage, and the second prince will succeed." ”

Deputy Commander Li listened to Captain Zhai's words, although he was a little worried, but as a close confidant of Captain Zhai, he could only follow Captain Zhai all the time.

If it succeeds, it is naturally the best.

The emperor naturally didn't know that Taiwei Zhai was planning something big, and today's events made him furious.

The prince embezzled money, which caused the people to suffer, and now it has aroused the anger of the people, if you don't deal with Rongyu well, you are really sorry for the majesty of the heavenly family.

It's still the third child, the emperor thought.

In his heart, Rong Qi was naturally the first choice to establish the crown prince, but he always felt that the queen still had a grudge against him.

And he is still young, in the prime of life, and he can live for another twenty or thirty years, so there is no need to make a prince so soon.

Ji Yanning listened to the news, but he hooked his lips and sneered.

I didn't expect the second prince to be carried away by the panic, if he really recruited Captain Zhai, it would really be a dog-eat-dog show in front of the emperor.

It's just that he mentioned Captain Zhai, which should have scared Captain Zhai a lot.

Rong Che said to Ji Yanning: "Taiwei Zhai will not obediently investigate the results. ”

Ji Yanning nodded, she agreed with what Rong Che said.

Captain Zhai has a ruthless temperament, he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and even his original wife can be killed without hesitation, which shows how cold-blooded he is, and how he can deal with emergencies is also very human.

Such a person is prone to swordsmanship.

Ji Yanning said: "Send someone to keep an eye on him, and prevent him from killing the second prince." ”

Rong Che said: "The prison is not so easy to break into, and even if Rong Yu dies, Rong Yu's subordinates must know about it." ”

Ji Yanning pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "Let Mu Lin see if he can secretly contact the advisors under the second prince." ”
