Chapter 62: The Difficulty of the Case
At this time, an entourage walked to the side of the case and whispered a few words in the ear of the third prince.
The third prince's serious face was slightly stunned, and he patted the shocked wood and said, "The trial is suspended." ”
Dali Siqing looked at the hourglass on the side, it was only half an hour before it was paused, it seemed that something had happened......
The third prince came to the back hall, and a guard was standing there, and the henchman he sent out to investigate had returned.
The henchman's face was a little uncertain, and he said cautiously:
"Your Highness, I found out what happened, but..."
The third prince looked around at no one: "Say it!" ”
The man was still a little cautious, and kept his voice to the lowest: "I found out that the imperial grandson had taken the box from the Zheng Guogong Mansion back to the Rongwang Mansion, over there in the military camp..."
His voice grew lower.
The third prince's face had changed, and his eyes gradually widened, staring like copper bells.
After listening to the report of his henchmen, the third prince already knew in his heart.
He remembered Li Qi's previous expression, as well as everyone's attitude towards this matter, and suddenly realized where the key to this case was.
tried this case, his ultimate purpose was to fight the sixth child, and he never thought of involving King Rong.
The third prince took a few steps, "If you don't know about this matter, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Yes!"
In the lobby of Dali Temple, a small official walked up to Yuan Shu: "The third prince asked you to go to the back hall." ”
Yuan Shu stood up slowly, Li Qi knew that the third prince had also found out the clues, he looked at Yuan Shu's expression, and the two glanced at each other tacitly.
Yuanshu came to the room, where the third prince was sitting.
"Third uncle, what are you looking for me?" He asked lightly, seemingly completely taking himself for an outsider.
The third prince smiled and pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Xiaoshu, I heard... On the day of the birthday banquet, you slept in Zhao Zhen's room? ”
Yuanshu knew that sooner or later he would be asked, and replied frankly: "Yes." ”
"That'...... You slept alone that night? ”
Yuanshu sat on the chair opposite.
"Yes."
"Really?" The third prince tried to find a flaw in his expression.
Yuanshu was very calm, "I slept alone, and I won't answer if I wake up alone." ”
……
When the third prince heard this, he calmed down and took a sip of tea, and then asked, "This matter... Does your father know? ”
Yuan Shu had already heard what he meant, and smiled slightly: "He doesn't know anything." ”
"Oh......"
The third prince quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
King Rong is the only prince who is older than him now, and he has always planned to pull him into his camp, but unfortunately this brother has never been in the oil and salt, and has always remained neutral.
The third prince has always been respectful to him, and has been secretly preventing the sixth child from doing tricks to win over his brother in advance.
Now that such a thing has happened, he categorically can't let Yuanshu affect his plan.
While thinking about it, Yuan Shu suddenly continued:
"Third uncle, I know what you want to ask, I know everything about this case."
He looked at his uncle in front of him, his expression calm, and there was not the slightest fear in his eyes.
"That Miss Dong...."
The third prince didn't know whether to continue to ask him, and his head was a little big.
"Does Uncle Sanhuang want to listen to the truth?" Yuan Shu asked.
The third prince's heart sank, and he looked at Yuan Shu in front of him without the slightest hint of guilt, and he was a little worried.
What else is there to ask at this moment, I have to bring it all to the table?
The smile that had been hanging on the third prince's face froze, and this subtle atmosphere made him feel that he was doing something extraordinary.
He looked at Yuanshu's stubborn and unscrupulous face, and suddenly burst out laughing. As if listening to a child's prank, he patted Yuanshu's shoulder with his chubby hand: "You..."
Yuanshu didn't laugh at all: "If you want to know, I can tell you all the story!" ”
The third prince smiled and shook his head: "Okay, okay, I know it in my own heart." ”
He patted Yuanshu on the back, "Children don't do things so willfully...... Think more about the consequences. ”
After saying that, he stood up with a smile and walked towards the door.
Yuan Shu sat there looking at his back, and he knew that his third uncle would react like this.
The third prince walked to the door, and he finally knew what the real difficulty of this case was.
No wonder the Criminal Department threw the case to Dali Temple in such a hurry, no wonder those who knew the truth were so subtle in their performance.
Neither can Zhao Zhen be involved, nor can Yuan Shu be announced, it seems that ...... Li Qi's pot is set on his back.
At this time, Dali Siqing came over and proposed:
"Your Highness, why don't we issue a bounty, and those who know the clues will be rewarded!"
"What's the bounty? Li Qi is the main culprit! ”
The third prince's eyebrows were already furrowed, and he said firmly.
"The case is simple and straightforward, and there is no need to waste so much time at all."
That same evening.
The third prince took the summary of the trial he wrote and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor sat in the hall, putting the fold aside but not bothering to look at it, it was just the two of them.
He slowly asked his son: "Third child, do you know why you were asked to preside over the trial?" ”
The third prince humbly bowed his head, very respectful, and did not dare to make a humble statement in front of his father, who was the emperor.
The emperor said, "Your sixth brother is too selfish, and this case is a matter between two officials in the city...... Don't get involved in what shouldn't be involved! ”
Zhao Jun listened nervously to the emperor's words, and analyzed sentence by sentence in his heart.
Finally, the emperor waved his hand and said, "You can do it." ”
Then, let him withdraw.
The third prince has been thinking about it in his heart, looking at what kind of hint it is.
Although the emperor is old, his mind is never confused, and many things are like a mirror.
As soon as the third prince came out of the main hall, he was quickly pulled aside by Zhao Zhen, who was hiding outside.
"Third brother!" Zhao Zhen was worried.
The third prince knew that he had been grounded recently, and shook his head when he looked like this. "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Zhen got up and was about to give him a big salute, begging:
"Brother Huang, you can't put the charge on Li Qi!"
The third prince knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression.
"Aren't you embarrassed for me?" Zhao Jun sighed.
Zhao Zhen knew that there was little hope, but he asked him to help him and let Li Qi go anyway.
The third prince looked at the youngest brother in front of him, "What the hell is going on?" How did you get to this point? What exactly are you guys up to? ”
Zhao Jun looked like he hated iron but not steel.
Zhao Zhen slapped a few times depressedly: "It's the sixth brother, he wanted to match me with Miss Dong and was discovered by me in advance, so he ......"
At this point, his tone was full of remorse.
"So you took advantage of the situation to design Yuanshu?" The three princes' eyes widened.
"Third brother, you also know that I am used to being idle, and I don't want to follow him, so I let Yuanshu sleep in my room that day, I never expected..."
"You're so confused!" The third prince gritted his teeth and pressed his head.
"Yuanshu will not care about what consequences when doing things, you are playing with fire."
"Hmmm......"
Zhao Zhen lowered his head, he had reflected on this matter countless times, and he blamed himself for being smart.
Now that the wood is in the boat, there is no room for echoes!
