Although Geng Susu was bold, he had never seen a dead person, so he couldn't help but take a step back at this time.

"Chi, Sister Chi."

"It's fine." Ji Yun pulled her and stood in the corner.

"Why are you dead?" Geng Susu wondered, "This is Your Majesty's birthday!" The dead at the feast are too unlucky. ”

"Hmm."

Geng Susu looked at her with a solemn face, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Chi, what are you thinking?" ”

Ji Yun said: "I was wondering why this thing is so strange. ”

"Strange?"

"Yes! Where there is a lake, it's not close to here, right? Why is it so coincidental that Zheng Xiaogongzi and Wang Shizi of Xining have gone there? And if you look at the appearance of Xiningzi's son, he is clearly drunk and confused. ”

Geng Susu said: "It sounds like they had a holiday before? Did you make an appointment to settle it by the lake? ”

Chi Yun glanced at her: "You are quite experienced. ”

Geng Susu laughed dryly, and his brain finally became active: "Xining Zi Shizi was drunk and accidentally pushed Zheng Xiaogongzi into the lake, right?" ”

"I don't know." There was no evidence, and Chi Yun felt that it was difficult to deduce, "There are so many adults present, let's see what they say!" ”

The emperor's face was a little blue.

In the first year of his ascension to the throne, because of the first emperor, the longevity festival was improvised.

In the next two years, there was no big deal.

This year, I finally have the confidence to do it, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

The dead man at the banquet simply touched his head.

But Lin Changbo died of his son, and he couldn't get angry, so he could only be patient and appeased: "Don't worry, Lin Changbo, first check the cause of Ling Gongzi's death." ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over his courtiers.

To investigate the case, it is natural to find the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, but to say that he trusts the person the most......

"Your Majesty." King Kang's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Big brother? What's wrong? ”

King Kang's prince came out and said: "Zheng Xiaogongzi fell into the water and died, and the prince of Xining was found at the scene, there must be an explanation for this matter." If it was done by the prince of Xining, he would have to give Linchangbo justice. If it is an accident, the innocent prince of Xining will be returned. In either case, this matter cannot be taken lightly and must be treated seriously. ”

The emperor still didn't understand what he wanted to do, and it made sense to just say this.

"Big brother has a point."

King Kang continued: "Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to file a case and find out the truth." ”

There is no problem with that.

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I will appoint ......"

At this point, he froze.

If the case is filed, he chooses Lou Yan for trial, and his name is not right.

The emperor glanced at King Kang, did he do it on purpose?

But King Kang's expression was normal.

Maybe he just wants to sell Lin Changbo and King Xining a good one to show his fair and just image, right?

This case is not a big deal for someone else to try. He just trusts Lou Yan more, and it's not that others have a problem.

The emperor said: "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple will merge and file a case, find out the truth as soon as possible, and give an explanation to Lin Changbo and the King of Xining." ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple Qing listed: "The ministers obey the order." ”

A good longevity banquet, made like this, the emperor's interest is not high.

When I went back, I looked a little sullen.

Zheng Xiaogongzi's corpse was moved to the side hall for temporary placement, Lin Changbo's family was very sad, and because this was a longevity banquet, they didn't dare to cry loudly, so they could only cry silently.

The prince of Xining was taken to the next door and imprisoned, and the king of Xining saw that his son was drunk and followed.

"Where's the decanting soup?" The criminal department Shangshu asked.

"Here we are." An attendant hurried in.

After pouring a few large bowls of sobering soup, the prince of Xining finally woke up, but looking at the way his eyes were straight, how much sanity he still had, it was enough to choke.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing glanced at each other, and gave a few humble words to each other, and finally the Shangshu of the Criminal Department spoke.

"Prince Wang of Xining, do you recognize this official?"

The prince of Xining Wang looked at it for a while and shook his head.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department pointed to the side again: "Then your father, you always recognize it, right?" ”

The prince of Xining finally nodded and asked, "Father, where is this?" ”

He raised his hand and touched his wet sleeve: "Why are they all wet?" Who splashed me with water? ”

Looking at the situation, the two adults knew that they might not be able to ask anything, but they still took chances and continued to ask: "Prince Wang of Xining, do you remember what happened just now?" ”

The king of Xining was very anxious, and seeing his son's stunned appearance, he hurriedly said: "Ah Ming, think about it, how did you run to the imperial garden?" This is important! ”

It stands to reason that relatives can't be interjected when asking about the case, but today's situation is different from usual, and the two adults let go.

A few people stared at the prince of Xining, but they heard him say: "I, I just drank too much, come out for a walk......"

"And who did you meet?"

Wang Shizi of Xining thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is, but I don't remember it clearly." ”

He looked at Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing strangely: "Dare to ask the two adults?" What happened? Am I offending anyone? I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at drinking, I didn't expect the wine in the palace to get drunk so easily......"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing glanced at each other, both a little puzzled.

I heard that Xining Wang Shizi and Zheng Xiaogongzi had a fight yesterday, and he was so drunk today, they thought that this was the same gentleman as Linchang Boshizi. But listening to him now, he is quite polite, not like someone who doesn't know the severity.

The king of Xining explained beside him: "The child is not good at drinking, and he is a little confused when he is drunk. But he would never do such a thing, two adults, you must give him back his innocence! ”

This situation is very unfavorable to the prince of Xining, who dares to say that he will be able to return his innocence?

The two adults were silent for a while, and Dali Siqing spoke: "Let's go to the autopsy first." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department nodded, and stopped the King of Xining who wanted to follow him: "His Royal Highness the King of Xining, the Linchangbo family is now emotional, if I see you, I am afraid it will be noisy again." ”

The king of Xining had no choice but to stop and said to them again and again: "There are two lords, if there is any news, please let them know as soon as possible." ”

Lou Yan didn't return to the seat, he took advantage of the chaos to go to the side hall.

Before he could reach the door, he was dragged aside.

"I knew you were coming."

Lou Yan turned his head and glanced at it, and sure enough, it was Yu Shenzhi.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'll do whatever you want."

The two stared wide-eyed.

There was a stalemate for a while, and finally Yu Shenzhi couldn't hold back and asked him: "Do you really think that the prince of Xining did it?" ”

Lou Yan said: "Do you have to check to find out." ”

Yu Shenzhi pouted: "Come on!" Still pretending in front of me. If there is nothing suspicious, will you come? ”

Seeing that Lou Yan had nothing to say, Yu Shenzhi was in a happy mood: "You still want to fool me?" Hurry up and be honest! ”
