Imperial.

Chu Yi ordered someone to take away the secret guards who had broken their hands, and sent the little eunuch beside Gonggong Tang to report back to Renshou Palace.

Then, he simply tied up Tang Gonggong and sent him to Jingzhao Mansion with Xiao Jingcheng, who had been asleep.

Because of the presence of officials such as the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushi, Chu Yi himself was in charge.

Zhou Zhi was naturally happy to strike while the iron was hot and tried the case.

He knew that this matter had reached such an extent, and naturally the bigger the trouble, the safer the black veil above his head would be.

So, Zhou Zhi ordered someone to set up a chair on top of the public court, untie Xiao Jingcheng, and put it upright.

I would also like to invite His Royal Highness King Yi and all of you to take a seat.

Nor did they fortify outside the court, allowing the curious people to gather around and watch.

Only then did he ask Feiyuwei to step forward, untie Xiao Jingcheng's faint hole, and ascend to the hall in the "mighty" sound of the officials.

Xiao Jingcheng woke up and found himself sitting on top of the Jingzhao Mansion court.

The left and right sides were full of courtiers, officials from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Imperial History, all of whom glared at him angrily.

Behind him were the whispers of the people.

Xiao Jingcheng remembered the things that happened in the Cheng'en Mansion before he fell into a coma, and when he was like a great enemy, cold sweat broke out on his back.

His mind was spinning rapidly, but his face tried his best to put on a weak and ignorant appearance.

Seeing him wake up, the imperial doctor who had already arranged for him to be around him hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse.

At the end, the imperial physician said to King Yi, who was the first to sit on the right side of the court: "Although the pulse of the prince is a little vain, it is not a big problem. ”

When Xiao Jingcheng heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

This Imperial Doctor was obviously arranged, and he had reason to believe that even if he pretended to be stupid and pretended to be unconscious, the Imperial Doctor could think of ways to "rescue" him back.

Chu Yi bowed his head at the imperial doctor, and then looked at Xiao Jingcheng and said lightly: "The prince is emotional, and Lord Zhou has no choice but to take the prince into the palace to meet the queen mother." Later, something happened, so he simply brought the prince to Jingzhao Mansion, and now that all the adults are here, the prince might as well explain Xiao Baiyuan's matter clearly, so as to clear the suspicion of the Chengen Mansion. ”

As soon as Xiao Jingcheng heard this, he looked at Gonggong Tang, who was tied into a dumpling and gagged next to him, and knew that the Queen Mother couldn't count on it.

can not pretend to be stupid, for the sake of today's plan, he can only see the move, just wait for the prince to find a way to save him.

Thinking so, Xiao Jingcheng pretended to be at a loss: "I, I don't know......"

However, as soon as his words began, Jingzhao Yin Zhouzhi walked down from the court with a smile and interrupted him: "Shiziye, the lower officials are afraid that Shiziye will forget, so remind Shiziye......"

Zhou Zhi raised his voice: "Today, we found a secret passage in the Chengen Mansion, and there is the body of the second prince in the secret passage. ”

His voice was clear enough for people inside and outside the stadium to hear clearly.

A few days ago, the matter of salvaging novices from Bibo Lake was known to the officials and people of the entire capital.

Now I heard that there was a second son in the Chengen Mansion, although the officials above the court already knew about it, and the reaction was mediocre.

But the onlookers outside the public hall gasped in unison, and there was a lot of discussion in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi smiled faintly, paused at the right time, and said to Xiao Jingcheng: "The body of the second son was specially put into a sarcophagus filled with ice, and it was obviously buried by someone. And one of the exits of the secret passage leads directly to the study of the prince, what happened in this, the prince will definitely not know, today in front of His Royal Highness King Yi and so many adults, even for the sake of the dead second son, the prince should tell everyone the ins and outs of this, right? ”

Although these words were said to Xiao Jingcheng, they were all said to everyone present.

Xiao Jingcheng looked at Zhou Zhi's smiling face, and his heart was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

But on his face, there was a sad look: "This matter is a long story, late that night I heard the sound of fighting in the secret passage, so I went into the secret passage to check, but who knew that when I walked to the secret room, I saw my son lying on the ground, and his breath was completely ...... The murderer is also missing......"

When Zhou Zhi heard this, he asked with a smile: "Since the gangsters committed murder in the secret passage and killed the life of the second son, why didn't the prince report to the official?" The emperor ordered His Royal Highness King Yi to cooperate with the Northern Ya to investigate the poisoning of the Great Huguo Temple and His Royal Highness Taiji, even if the prince does not report to our Jingzhao Mansion, he should report to His Royal Highness King Yi. ”

Xiao Jingcheng raised his eyes weakly, looked at King Yi with a cold face, lowered his eyes again, and said tremblingly: "I wanted to report to the official, but my son died of the secret poison of Yunjiang, which coincided with the emperor and His Royal Highness King Yi, and he was also poisoned...... The murderer obviously had the intention of blaming the Chengen Mansion...... Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to explain this matter to the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to suddenly change and fall unconscious, so the matter was delayed......"

put on this look, and in his words, he would rather "delay" than inform King Yi and Beiya about this matter.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the implication is also clearly expressed that "I don't believe in King Yi".

It's just that, after all, this is his remark to make up for after the fact, and the words are full of loopholes, and the courtiers present are not fools, so such an answer is naturally not enough to calm the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows, and simply asked unceremoniously: "Since it was delayed, then the prince of the world said, why do you want to seal the exits of the secret passage?" This is obviously trying to press this matter, isn't the prince of the world weak-hearted? ”

Xiao Jingcheng heard that "the secret passage was sealed everywhere", and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, he only sealed the road between the study and the Muhuayuan rockery, and the other secret passages were reserved for the purpose of contacting the prince in the future, so he didn't move at all.

How did it come to Zhou Zhi that they were all sealed......

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he had no time to think deeply, because he had long expected that Zhou Zhi would definitely ask this question, and he already had a draft in his heart.

"The ventilation of the secret passage is very unfavorable for the preservation of my son's body, after it is sealed, this will become a tomb, and when the emperor wakes up, he will open it again to avenge my son." Xiao Jingcheng replied.

Quibble!

What a quibble!

Zhou Zhi blew his beard and glared at him.

When he took Xiao Jingcheng out of the house, he never saw Xiao Baiyuan's body.

Therefore, at this moment, although he knew that Xiao Jingcheng was quibbling, Zhou Zhi could not come up with obvious evidence to prove that Xiao Jingcheng was lying.

Just when Zhou Zhi hesitated-

King Yi went straight in and opened his mouth lightly: "As Xiao Baiyuan's biological father, the son of the world does not report directly to the official when his son dies, and he does not believe in this king, but he is buried on the spot, so as not to affect the Chengen Mansion and seal the secret passage, which can be regarded as reasonable." ”

He paused, and his voice suddenly became cold: "It's just that the prince told this king, what happened to the bloody hand in Xiao Baiyuan's right hand and the bat bird in his palm?" ”
