Chapter 163: And Then?
It turned out to be red plum yeast?
There was immediately a low sound of conversation in the audience.
"Isn't the Red Plum Dance forbidden in the palace?"
"Yes, didn't it mean that the three princes liked this dance the most back then, so after the three princes left, they avoided touching Jingsi and were not allowed to sing and bounce anymore?"
"What's going on?"
Yun Duoduo's hand tightened unconsciously, perhaps sensing her nervousness, and a large, slightly hot hand wrapped her hand tightly.
For a while, Yun Duoduo seemed to feel a force in his heart.
While everyone was puzzled and whispered, the corners of Mrs. Xiao's mouth were slightly upturned.
Emperor Wen's face became more and more ugly, and at the end of the song, he didn't say a word with a black face.
"What does the emperor think of this dance?"
King Wu was the first to ask.
Emperor Wen was silent for a while, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
King Wu smiled, looked at the queen again and asked, "What does the queen think?" ”
The corner of the queen's eyes twitched, and she smiled awkwardly: "It's okay." ”
"Well, that's good, I thought you two weren't very satisfied, but this was specially rehearsed by Lord Wan for this banquet. ”
As soon as his voice fell, countless cold eyes shot at thousands of people, thousands of lamentations, he was not ready.
"Oh? Ten thousand adults? This is what you carefully prepared? Emperor Wen spoke coldly.
Wan Qianbai immediately stood up and walked up to the emperor in a dignified manner, "Back to Your Majesty, it was specially prepared by the old minister." ”
Emperor Wen's eyes turned even colder: "Oh? Why did Wan Daren arrange such a show? By the way, I seem to have ordered you to solve the case of the assassination of the minister a few years ago, although it is a small year now, a small year is also a year, so it is better for Lord Wan to talk about the situation of the case now. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down.
Everyone looked at the thousands of people in unison.
I saw that Wan Qianbai bowed unhurriedly: "The emperor asked about the case, and the old minister didn't dare not answer, but there is still some evidence in this case that has not yet arrived, so it is not suitable to close the case." ”
As soon as these words came out, the empress, who was sitting on the emperor's side, suddenly spoke: "Slow, Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that today is a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and the ministers have finally reunited easily, so why should Your Majesty mention this?" ”
Emperor Wen hesitated a little when he heard the queen's words, and thousands of people respectfully did not answer, only waiting for the emperor's meaning.
After a while, Emperor Wen snorted, "Forget it, I won't talk about official business today, Lord Wan, I'll let you go today." ”
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face.
Lord Wan also said aloud: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”
However, just when everyone thought that this matter was about to end, they suddenly heard someone in the audience shouting: "Your Majesty, slow down." ”
When everyone heard the prestige, they saw Captain Xiao, who was dressed in an official robe, and slowly stepped forward with a fold.
"Captain Xiao, but is there something?"
Emperor Wen frowned and looked at Taiwei Xiao who came forward, his face was cloudy.
Mrs. Xiao stepped forward slowly and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have a plan to play about the murder of the minister."
"Oh?"
There was an uproar in the field, and Emperor Wen frowned even more.
"Taiwei Xiao, I remember that this case was handed over to Master Wan to investigate? Why, why do you have to play? ”
"Your Majesty, although this case was not handed over to my Xiao family to investigate, the Xiao family was involved, and the old ministers had trouble sleeping and eating all day long. It is even more coincidental that the little girl has found a position in the Red Army, and recently the emperor ordered the Red Army to cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion to handle the case, and this case happened to be the little girl who also began to investigate, after a painstaking investigation of the little girl, she finally had an eyebrow, and today she came to the emperor to play. ”
Emperor Wen looked at Taiwei Xiao kneeling in the center of the hall with serious eyes, and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I'll listen to this case, the Wan people, who have always been supernatural, didn't solve this case, but asked a woman to take the lead, let me hear it, what's going on, where is the daughter of the Xiao family?"
Xiao Wanbing, dressed in a red red military uniform, strode forward, knelt on the ground and saluted: "My subordinates see the emperor." ”
Yun Duoduo's eyes swept over her body, and she sighed in her heart, she was really completely prepared.
In this way, as long as Xiao Wanbing closes the case in court, then the emperor can't ignore it when he looks at her in the military uniform of the Red Army, rewards and promotions are naturally essential, and the only female general will fall into Xiao Wanbing's hands. And it's convincing.
Tsk, the Xiao family is really out of the way.
Yun Duoduo hadn't finished sighing yet, Xiao Wanbing had been excused by the emperor, only to see her stand up and look ahead with burning eyes.
"General Xiao, tell me, how did you investigate this case, and what did you find?"
Xiao Wanbing replied unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, after investigating the case, his subordinates found that although the assassinated ministers had political disagreements with the Xiao family on the surface, the political disagreements were just normal debates in the court, and my father was suspected, but as my father's daughter, I naturally knew my father best, and he was impossible for me to do such a thing."
Since this matter was not done by his father, and the deceased happened to have some political disagreements with his father, it is very likely that it was framed by people who really disagreed with Xiao's family politics.
But this kind of framing can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye is very far-fetched, so there must be other unknown reasons why these people were killed.
Following this line of thought, his subordinates first checked several ministers and found that several ministers had a common past, all of them had served in the Criminal Department, and they had all tried the same case together when they were in the Criminal Department, and this case was the case of the untimely death of the three princes that year. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a bang in the hall, and the queen's body trembled obviously.
And Emperor Wen also turned pale for a moment.
"You mean, this case is related to the case of the Three Princes?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wen slowly stood up from the dragon chair, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"In other words, there was another reason for the death of the third prince that year?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor's body shook and almost fell to the ground, the queen immediately stepped forward to help him, and at the same time, the queen turned around and looked at Xiao Wanbing with burning eyes.
"General Xiao, what kind of crime should you be guilty of actually telling you what to do and damaging the emperor's dragon body?"
Xiao Wanbing looked up at the queen and said, "Why didn't the queen ask the whole story of the case first, but she wanted to say that her subordinates were untrustworthy?" Could it be that the queen knows this case very well? ”
"You ......"
The queen is angry.
Emperor Wen finally calmed down, forcibly endured the emotions in his heart, and said, "Let her speak." ”
"Your Majesty, these ministers who were assassinated and killed were all ministers who tried the case of the untimely death of the three princes back then, but at that time, the team that tried the case of the untimely death of the three princes was transferred out of the criminal department soon after. And these people at that time happened to be the ministers who died in the past few days. But Master Maquema, who presided over the case back then, has been dead for many years, but the black-clothed killer has repeatedly infiltrated Mafu to assassinate him without success.
This made his subordinates puzzled, thinking that there must be someone or something in the Ma Mansion that made the people behind the scenes want to get or kill their mouths. ”
Emperor Wen was helped by the queen to sit down slowly.
There was silence in the hall.
"And then, you investigated Mafu?"
Emperor Wen then asked.
