From Dali Temple to the palace, on this short distance actually met the prisoners, these merchants themselves also have unique skills, once someone entangled the escort guards, they took the opportunity to break free, and even the internal and external pinching of the escort guards were killed.

When the news reached the emperor's ears, the emperor couldn't believe it, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who are so bold, who did it?" Are the city patrols in the capital dead? ”

The city patrol is not dead, but it is not much more useful than the dead, after all, they are all delicate and noble sons, and it is good that they didn't run away when they were in danger, and they can manage the prisoners?

"Your Majesty, you are angry first, you have blocked the whole city of the capital to search for them, and these people can't escape."

"If you blockade the capital, you can't run away? How did those Fanbang people run? "The emperor doesn't know what to say to his subordinates, it's good to say that it's a bunch of waste.

"Order the guards of the city gates to keep strict guard day and night, the number of guards will be increased to three times that of normal days, and not a single fly will be released to me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This can cost the lives of the people below, and there is also the prince among the people who take care of the city gate, and since the prince goes to watch the city gate, the city gate has almost become another prince's mansion. Everything to eat and drink must be prepared, and the prince has to find a soft chair to sit on when he is tired, and when he is tired, he has to beat his legs and waist, and they all serve him, where is there anyone who has the heart to watch the city gate.

Moreover, the prince has the rules of the prince, and it is not easy for the emperor to order him to come, if the prince suddenly wants to do this and that, everyone must listen.

For example, the number of people in custody, the emperor has to be three times more, and the prince said: "Everyone works hard enough on weekdays, what is the concept of tripling, that is almost equal to all the people going together, and there is no one who is handed over, so do you have to exhaust people to death?" This is not conducive to defense, right, if you are tired of fighting, I think there are three or five more than usual, and everyone will hand over three times a day to ensure that everyone can have a good rest. ”

Although the prince is the prince, he came to be a city gate official, and his task is to watch the city gate, and this person has only stood at the city gate for less than two hours and can't do it, which is not a human thing at all. Therefore, the prince was very capable of treating others with himself, and privately ordered the captain of the city gate to adjust the number of shifts per day to four.

So after the emperor gave the order, he still gave face and transferred it back three times.

"What the prince said is that the prince is sympathetic to the people below us, which is our blessing, and naturally everything is arranged by the prince."

Not to mention anything else, the prince is very good at winning people's hearts, and he enjoys it alone, and it really brings benefits to people.

As a result, the gate guards remained the same as before. And since the prince came, everyone has been more lazy in doing things, up and down, making a pot of tea when thirsty, and eating some when hungry, anyway, there is a street market nearby, there is everything to eat and drink, they rely on their status to eat and drink in vain, and the people are simply miserable.

Just the strength of this corpse vegetarian meal, let alone a few big living people, flies can't stop it.

The whole city searched for several days, but I didn't even see the shadow of a merchant. The emperor was furious again and found the crown prince.

The prince didn't think that it was important for a few merchants to do this, until the emperor said that it might be done by people from Fanbang, and the prince realized that he almost lost a great opportunity.

It was the crown prince who arranged for the fourth princess to follow the Fanbang people, in order to frame Yao Guifei and the third prince. Of course, he didn't know that there was a prince of their clan among the people of Fanbang at that time, and he regretted very much at this time that he didn't take down those people, so that he might be able to make meritorious contributions.

Who knows that the emperor didn't take this matter to heart at all, and he hasn't found out that Yao Guifei is suspicious until now, if he can take advantage of the merchant's incident to find out Yao Guifei, it will not be too late to make amends.

It's a pity that he hasn't known about this for a long time, and he doesn't know if those merchants are still in the capital, if they are not, can he find a few people to take the blame?

"Father, don't worry, the sons will definitely do their best to find out those people, so that your heart can be calmed as soon as possible."

The emperor was not angry, "You said, how many days can you find out?" ”

"Erchen will definitely complete the task within three days!" The prince was determined, "If it can't be done, the sons are willing to be punished!" ”

The emperor waved his hand tiredly, "You go down first." ”

It is said that the whole process of arrest should have been found a long time ago, and if he couldn't find it, either he had already run away, or someone was hiding, and the emperor didn't hope that the prince would find it.

However, three days later, the prince was actually found.

According to the prince's account, he interrogated them all night until they confessed that they were the ones who had taken the prisoners that day, and as for where the prisoners went, they said that they had been killed.

"Silenced?" The emperor was surprised, in fact, it is not impossible, the whole city is closed and cannot be found, if it is not run, it is very likely to be killed by the manipulator.

It's really scary to think about it, these people are inevitably too fast, he was robbed and imprisoned as soon as he was summoned, and he just wanted to block the whole city to find someone, but he was wiped out, which is obviously a weak heart,

Who is the controller, the emperor is a little afraid, he can be sure that this person is around, but he can't tell who it is.

"Retrial!" The emperor ordered, "Be sure to make them confess, and they must not be killed!" ”

"Yes, Father!" The prince took the chicken feathers as an arrow, and went down again to pretend to interrogate.

Early the next morning, there was news that the prince said that these people had confessed and gave the confession to the emperor.

The emperor almost didn't pout when he saw it, it was no one else, it was the fourth princess's nurse Mother Liu, and the transaction location and transaction content were written in detail, saying that they must kill the Nine Emperors and the Marquis of Qingyang on the road.

The words of killing the Nine Emperor Princes and the Marquis of Qingyang stimulated the emperor, and the emperor was furious and immediately ordered someone to call Yao Guifei and Mama Liu.

Yao Guifei was surprised: "Why did the emperor say this? How could a concubine do such a thing? ”

The emperor threw the confession to him, "See for yourself!" ”

Yao Guifei was up and down in her heart, it was indeed she who arranged people to stop the Nine Emperor Princes and the Marquis of Qingyang, and she was the one who arranged for people to rob the prisoners, but those people had already been killed, how could they be caught and confessed?

"Your Majesty, this is slandered!" Of course, Yao Guifei couldn't admit it, "How can the concubines collude with Fanbang, the concubines don't go out of the palace gate, where can they have the opportunity to contact?" ”

"You don't, don't you have the people around you?" The emperor looked at Mama Liu, "What do you say about the fourth princess, did she accidentally meet her, or did you arrange for her to meet her?" ”

Mama Liu trembled with fright, "Your Majesty, the princess was brought up by me, like my own daughter, how could I send her to Fanbang, you can't help but chill the old slave like this!" ”

"Then this confession is a hell?" The emperor didn't know how to get angry anymore, he couldn't get angry at all, "You give me a reasonable explanation!" ”

How to explain this, Yao Guifei confirmed that everyone was silent, but she couldn't say this, even if she confronted those so-called witnesses, it was impossible to say that you were all fake, she had no evidence to prove that people were fake.

"The concubines want to confront them!" Yao Guifei had no choice but to do so. "If she is slandered, the concubine would rather die!"
