Chapter 315: The Informant Dies
Yes, she can't be tortured to death here for no reason, she needs to save herself, and aren't they just messengers arranged by God?
"Lord Wang, Lord Chen, how can I, a palace maid with no name, know about the toxicity of mandalas? Indeed, the slave and the maid were instructed to do such mad things, and the one who instructed them was ......."
Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze both looked at the girl expectantly, the secret that had been held for a long time was finally about to burst out, and the mysteries and clues she had investigated for several days were finally about to be solved, but at this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the air, and then someone shot an arrow, and the woman who stood straight opposite Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze didn't even have time to moan and fell to the original position.
Then the two arrows were shot at Dongfang Xuanze and Chen Jintong respectively, if it weren't for the strong martial arts of the two of them, they would have died at this moment.
"Hitomi be careful!" Dongfang Xuanze reminded that Chen Jintong turned over a harrier to avoid the sneak attack of the arrow, and the person was already Ziyan walking towards the opposite side of the road like a purple swallow through the clouds, and she saw the person who shot the arrow, the person was wearing a black coat and was standing at the end of the road.
At the same time as she flew up, she quickly pinched the thistle terrestris in her sleeve, which was used by Jiuxing for Chen Jintong's self-defense before, and at this moment she launched it one after another, and the person left with a sigh.
Dongfang Xuanze was afraid that Chen Jintong would be in danger, so she hurriedly shouted, she didn't dare to fight, she flashed back to Dongfang Xuanze's side, and the two looked at the woman in the prison.
Chunlan is dead, probably she couldn't figure out what happened before she died, the pair of black eyes looked coldly into the distance, as if she was complaining about something, Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze sighed together when they saw this.
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for long." Dongfang Xuanze felt the danger, took Chen Jintong's hand and left, this was already a "place of right and wrong", but as soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance of the prison, they suddenly saw Pei Yan, the secretary of the criminal department, and a group of Shu Jishi who came towards them.
This group of people is the official and magistrate in charge of the case.
Master Pei was already angry, and as soon as he came in, he shouted: "What are the third watch princes and Lord Chen doing here in the middle of the night?" Kill people? Take it for me! ”
couldn't help but say that a group of people surrounded them, Chen Jintong was surprised, how did he know that they were here to "kill" when Pei Yan first arrived?
"Master Pei is going to take down this king indiscriminately?" Dongfang Xuanze made a protective gesture and crossed in front of Chen Jintong.
Chen Jintong didn't dare to call the board, the master of Shangshu was the top of the first product, and she Chen Jintong was from the third grade, and the status disparity was very great.
"There is a court saint who aims to do this, this case is handed over to the criminal department, and no one is allowed to interfere from beginning to end, now!" That Pei Yan panted and approached the prison, glanced at Chunlan inside, and motioned for someone to open the lock to check life and death, "You actually killed Chunlan, I'm afraid that this matter can't be said in front of the Son of Heaven, take it!" ”
"My lord is really unreasonable and messing around," although someone behind her had already sent the holy decree over, Chen Jintong still argued with reason, she walked in front of Dongfang Xuanze, pointed at Master Pei, and was extremely contemptuous, "We are so close to her, why should we shoot arrows and kill people, it is better to pinch her to death, isn't it neat?" ”
"Besides, the prince came in to investigate the case in a bright and bright way, if he really has the idea of doing it, why not sneak in?" Chen Jintong was angry, and Pei Yan on the other side was either confused or fabricating accusations.
As soon as Chen Jintong said this, Master Pei was speechless, but after a while, Lang Ran smiled and looked Chen Jintong up and down, "Lord Chen didn't sneak in, why did he change the clothes of the little eunuch?" ”
This is indeed something that Chen Jintong can't explain! She frowned and said angrily: "I did have a stomach full of doubts before I came here, and the clothes of this little eunuch are also in a hurry, you don't want to pull around." ”
"If that Chunlan wasn't killed by you," Pei Yan smiled, "The murderer also followed you in, can you explain it now?" I am Dali Siqing, and now this case is in my hands. ”
Pei Yan, the Qing of Dali Temple, smiled triumphantly and stared at them with strange eyes. Chen Jintong finally understood something, she pointed at Pei Yan, "So you are the queen's mother?" ”
Pei Yan couldn't deny a sneer, and gave the order again - "take it".
A group of soap subordinates have already grabbed them with their hands and feet, and they have come to tie them up, because Dongfang Xuanze and Chen Jintong have special status, so Pei Yan did not dare to go too far, but reported the matter to the Son of Heaven to ask for a ruling.
In the middle of the night, Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze were taken to the Qiankun Palace, the law of my dynasty, the Son of Heaven is going to get up and smell the chickens and dance on the fifth watch, at this moment the emperor has danced the sword for a round, and is about to have breakfast, Pei Yan roared into the Qiankun Palace and reported the matter.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious.
An instant later, Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze had been brought to the inner court, and the emperor threw away his long sword, sat upright, and said sharply: "Good Chen Jintong, good Dongfang Xuanze!" It turned out to be a one-act scene where a thief shouted to catch a thief, let's talk about it, why did you join forces to poison Concubine Xue? ”
The emperor was furious, staring at the two kneeling in front of him, Dongfang Xuanze did not plead, and Chen Jintong thought that the emperor was a reasonable person, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we are going to investigate the case, so naturally we will not kill people." ”
Chen Jintong told him how to see the suspicions, how to beg Dongfang Xuanze to bring him in with makeup, and who hurt people with secret arrows.
But Master Pei also has his own set of rhetoric, "Your Majesty, Weichen looks at them as nonsense!" Your Majesty, you don't know, this Lord Chen is very powerful, her martial arts are strong, even if she doesn't have a bow, she can send a crossbow, this is Lord Chen's new research and development in Xi'an, please also ask the emperor to be aware of everything. ”
"I'm good at martial arts, and I'm not so superb!" Chen Jintong replied indifferently.
Seeing Chen Jintong's reply, Master Pei said again: "This case is the emperor, you have issued a holy decree that no one is allowed to participate, if they really want to investigate, why don't they hand over documents or discuss in detail with their ministers during the day, there are still cats here, the emperor, Weichen asked to kill these two people to revitalize the dynasty and clarify the law!" ”
"Chen Jintong!" The emperor glanced at Chen Jintong, "This is your cocooning and self-restraint, and you should also be clear about my holy decree." The emperor was angry and lost the holy decree, Chen Jintong grasped the holy decree, cried and couldn't say anything, her earnest gaze fell on Dongfang Xuanze.
It stands to reason that he should be eloquent, but at this moment, Dongfang Xuanze is playing "silence is golden".
"The prince said a few words!" Chen Jintong reminded.
Dongfang Xuanze finally woke up like a dream, his pure black eyes stared at the emperor who was sitting in danger, "Long live, this matter was not done by His Majesty and Chen Jintong, first, we and Concubine Xue have never had a holiday, even if there is, according to the wisdom of Lord Chen and his subordinates, what way is it not good to kill people in the past?" Do you have to use a mandala? ”
