Chapter 221, Heshu's Death
In the prison of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the cell head is stretching his waist out of the duty room, guarding such a group of felons every day, not sleeping well and not eating well, really tired!
Suddenly, an exclamation from the prison broke the silence of the early morning: "Oh no! Oh no! Heshu is dead! "The cell boss is hanging there with half of his waist stretched, what? Did you hear that right, Hesh died? I was fine yesterday, why did I die today? This person is related to the overall situation of the imperial court, how can he die when he is on duty? The cell leader felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person was paralyzed.
That's right, the two Heshu, both dead!
Helan Xue is going to practice in the big camp today, get up early in the morning and finish practicing in the courtyard, take a bath, and go out after breakfast, this breakfast is only half eaten, and the steward hurriedly runs in to report that someone is coming to the palace, and the emperor Xuanzhaowu General is going to the palace. Helan Xue already understands Emperor Huiwen's style, as long as the general goes to the palace, something must happen, think about what he did yesterday, which one will cause the emperor's anger? The Queen Mother exposed her identity? Then I'm going to have to catch myself last night. Is that because of the Utultures? I didn't let me in, and there were a bunch of princes and princes watching them, so there would be no problem! Or is it because he entertained a few princes in the mansion? Dajin also doesn't stipulate that you can't invite people to dinner, not to mention that the causes and consequences are easy to explain. Could it be that the uprooter was impeached? No, you can't! You can arrange eyeliner at my house, and the dark pile won't let me clean up, so it's unreasonable. Or is it that Shuntianfu Yin is too serious and really finds out one, two, three, but even if he finds out, he probably doesn't dare to say it, there are indeed some small marks on those dark piles that can prove his identity, but if he says it, he will be hacked to death.
Seeing the serious expression of the little chamberlain, he immediately changed his clothes, entered the palace with the chamberlain, and did not forget to stuff a purse for the little chamberlain and inquire about what happened. The expression on the little waiter's face was written with refusal, but Helan Xue accepted it with a slightly cold smile, and whispered: "Something happened in the prison." ”
Jail? Is it Hesh or who? He's the one who has something to do with him in the prison, right? He's dead?
In the political hall, all the civil and military officials had serious faces, the squire of the criminal department stood trembling in the hall, Wei Peng stood next to him, when Helan Xue came in, he heard Wei Peng say: "If Lord Shilang thinks that the real murderer cannot be found, then leave it to this son to do it, I don't believe that she is the murderer." ”
Sure enough, Heshu died, and even Jin Wuwei had to intervene.
Helan Xue entered the hall and saluted, Wei Peng cast a concerned and worried look, could it be that he was causing trouble again? Emperor Huiwen's voice was calm: "I heard that General Zhaowu was assassinated yesterday, is there a big problem?" ”
Helan Xue's thoughts were spinning around, it seemed that the Queen Mother didn't say anything, and her heart had been put back in her stomach. I only asked about the assassination yesterday, and I only asked it today, this is not right! Immediately replied respectfully: "Emperor Xie cares, it's no big deal, the assassin has been handed over to Shuntian Mansion, I think there will be a result." ”
Emperor Hui Wen nodded, looked at the things on the Longshu case, and then looked at Helan Xue, his brows were also furrowed, he didn't believe it, but the evidence was in front of him, so he couldn't believe it! He coughed lightly and said: "The general's kung fu is really good, he can be called a heroine among women, it is an eye-opener for me, I think it is also good to come to light skills." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, Wei Peng couldn't give her a look no matter what, although Helan Xue was a little dazed, she still replied seriously: "It's okay." ”
Emperor Hui Wen sneered: "Did you go to the prison of the Criminal Department?" What about the prison of Dali Temple? Is the space inside spacious enough? ”
Helan Xue was stunned, what does this mean? I want to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, but no one is worth sacrificing their sleep time to visit the prison! Her face was full of confusion and confusion, and she asked, "Your Majesty, what's so fun in the prison?" Isn't it spacious or not to ask the adults of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple? I don't know! ”
Emperor Hui Wen looked at her face, and suddenly became angry, this little girl is an acting school, which time did she do things two days ago was not the same as the real thing, cry when she says she cries, make trouble when she says she makes trouble, tears come more timely than rain, and now this reaction can be taken seriously? Absolutely not! He slammed the table and said angrily, "Then you tell me how Heshu died!" Hello, why did you kill him! If you can't say it, go straight to the prison and say it! ”
Helan Xue was taken aback and blurted out: "Heshu is dead? How could he die at this time? "It turns out that this is related to me, no wonder. In order to confuse the world that day, the prison of the Criminal Department and the prison of Dali Temple were imprisoned, one true and one false, and in this night, both died?
Wei Peng interjected: "Your Majesty, this is still inconclusive, how can you put her in prison." ”
Emperor Huiwen scolded angrily: "You shut up for me, do you think I don't know that you protect her everywhere, why are you protecting her now?" Why don't you two go to prison together for a few days? Emperor Huiwen snorted at Helan Xue again: "You also know that Heshu can't die at this time!" Then why did you run to kill people in the middle of the night last night? ”
Wei Peng was about to speak, but Helan Xue had already rushed ahead of him and said, "The emperor is angry!" How can we be sure that this is the work of the ministers? ”
Emperor Huiwen waved his hand, and asked the chamberlain to present the evidence in front of her, Helan Xue couldn't help but be stunned, in the tray, there were two phoenix tail arrows, and the arrow shaft was the snow character of the seal book, and the blood stains on the three-edged barb had dried up, and there was a faint trace of muscle tissue, which was indescribably bloody in her eyes. The eyes of all the ministers also fell on her face, this phoenix tail arrow is her exclusive, just like that nailed to Heshu's heart, it is said that Heshu's death is weird, there is no trace of fighting in the prison, after the jailer was stunned by the drug, the assassin entered the prison, and when he woke up, Heshu was dead, and his face could still be seen with a trace of satisfaction.
Helan Xue stared at the arrow for a long time, and Wang Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said in a slightly trembling voice: "The prison found Heshu dead in the prison this morning, and was nailed to the wall by the county lord's arrow through his chest. The county lord has extraordinary arm strength and strong martial arts, and it is not impossible to come to the prison at night and no one knows about it......"
Helan Xue nodded slightly and said, "It seems to make sense for Lord Shilang to say this. But why should I kill him? Is it any good for me to kill him? She said to Emperor Huiwen: "Your Majesty, Heshu's status is special, and it is related to the peace talks between the imperial court and Beidi, and the minister has no reason to kill him at this time!" Besides, no matter how spacious the prison is, it is not suitable for bows and arrows, and the best range of bows and arrows is after one-third of the distance after the arrows are issued, which is completely inappropriate for assassination! ”。
What he said is indeed reasonable, Emperor Huiwen looked at Lin Yi, Lin Yi lowered his eyelids: Do you believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe that she will kill people in prison.
