Chapter 204: Can't sit still
Tao Mingxi sat in front of the table and supported his chin with his hands, quietly looking at the four teacups and a teapot in front of him.
As a prison guard for many years, she only now understands how clever Xing Tianze is in reviewing the case.
These four teacups are equivalent to the four generals who escorted the military salary, and the teapot is equivalent to Xing Tianze.
He was the minister who reviewed the case, and ordered the head of the prison to separate the four suspects, thus blocking the transmission of information between them and the possibility of some conspiracy.
They were entertained with good food and drink, but the person in charge of delivering the food could not say anything, which cut off the possibility of them receiving news from outside, and even if one of them received any rumors, there was no way to pass it on.
The most important thing is that everyone is locked up in one place alone, and the environment will become very quiet without outsiders disturbing, and if the four of them really have a problem, they will definitely be uncomfortable in such a situation.
They don't know or are sure that anyone will betray them, and that good conditions will ease a prisoner's vigilance and make them accept the unbearable torment in their hearts.
After this, Xing Tianze was moving with emotion, thinking from the perspective of the prisoners, and it was very easy to take out their words.
Tao Mingxi put the four teacups back in place, in addition to being surprised by Xing Tianze's superb way of trying the case, she was also full of worries for him, if there was anything wrong with him in a high position, there would definitely be a rumor in the court.
The emperor fought a very beautiful calculating battle, he knew that the power in the hands of the Taiwei was getting too great, but the person who investigated the disappearance of the military salary was Xing Tianze.
Taiwei can be said to be a protector/umbrella for many officials, and many people will definitely blame Xing Tianze for all the losses in this case, so that he is on the cusp.
"Princess, what are you looking at? Is this tea set not to your liking? Do you need a slave to start changing your set? Zhu'er looked at Tao Mingxi curiously.
"No need, I'm just thinking about things too much for a while, you go and ask the prince if he and the Traceless Son will come over? If we don't come, we'll just have a bite to eat tonight. Tao Mingxi held her forehead with her hand, and she deeply understood what it meant to be a companion to a king.
"Yes, the slave will ask." After Zhu'er saluted, she turned and left......
After making a move in the study, the guards outside the door immediately rushed in, surrounded Xing Tianze and Wuji, and looked around vigilantly: "Everyone be careful of assassins, you must protect the prince and the prince." ”
"It seems that some people can't hold their breath." There was no panic on his face in the face of the assassination, and a smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The more people who come, the better, this king just wants to see, how many moths have not surfaced in Xingzhao Kingdom?" As his words landed, Xing Tianze's gaze instantly sharpened.
In fact, he had long thought that sooner or later someone would come to his detriment, and the 200,000 military salary was not a small amount, and the Tai Lieutenant alone would definitely not be able to eat it.
Taiwei is just the tip of the iceberg that is exposed, and the iceberg below the surface of the water is what Xing Tianze is interested in.
If we don't find them out this time, there may be more troubles in the future.
Soon there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the roof of the study, and the sound of many weapons clashing with each other, and one after another figures were thrown from the upper floor.
In the end, the six men who were shrouded in black jumped down, knelt on the ground respectfully and clenched their fists towards Xing Tianze, and after he waved his hand gently, these people disappeared in place like ghosts.
As if they hadn't seen these people, the guards present vigilantly ran forward and lifted the seven or eight assassins from the ground.
It only hurt the Assassins' vital points, but did not hurt their lives.
"Let me guess who sent you?" Traceless put one hand behind his back, stretched out his other hand and kept dotting back and forth on these people: "Taiwei Mansion, Lord Liu, the squire of the Ministry of War, Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and ......"
Without a trace, he said the names of more than 20 officials, large and small, in a row, which shows that he has long been confident.
"I know you're all hard bones, but this king's favorite thing to gnaw on is hard bones." Xing Tianze did not have the slightest interest in examining these assassins, and asked the guards to take them down to correct the law on the spot.
These are the dead soldiers raised by those officials who are mentioned without a trace, and they have long put life and death out of the way.
"What do we do next? It's impossible to be beaten all the time without fighting back? Traceless patted the dust on his clothes that wasn't there.
"Wait and see, this king is very curious to know how many dead soldiers they have raised." Xing Tianze's tone was extremely cold.
The state of criminal law clearly stipulates that all officials are not allowed to support the facts, otherwise they will be severely punished and sentenced to death.
However, some things are always on the table, even if Xing Tianze still raises the dead, or all the guards in the entire Five Princes' Mansion are raised by him, but when this secret comes out of him and without a trace, no third person knows about it, even Tao Mingxi has not heard any news.
"Lord Wang, the princess asked the slave maid to come over and ask, do you and the Traceless Son still want to go over for dinner tonight?" Pearls stood in the doorway and didn't walk in.
The palace clearly stipulated that only Xing Tianze and Wuji, Tao Mingxi and those guards were allowed to enter the prince's study, and if the rest of the people dared to enter rashly, they would be punished by breaking their legs and then throwing them into a valley outside the capital.
"I think it's better to pass, I like the hot pot made by the princess very much." Traceless licked / his own lips.
On the one hand, he likes the deliciousness of hot pot, and on the other hand, he thinks that the process of discussing things while eating delicious food is worth enjoying.
"This king also likes to eat hot pot, but Xi'er said that you can't eat too much hot pot, just eat it once or twice a month, otherwise it will be easy to get angry." Xing Tianze turned around and looked at Zhu'er: "You go back and tell the princess, let her think about whether there is any other way to eat in Fuyang Kingdom, and this king and the prince will come later." ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" After replying respectfully, Zhu'er turned around and left.
For Xing Tianze's request, Tao Mingxi is really a little afraid to compliment, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of a prince? It's just a foodie.
Fortunately, Tao Mingxi had worked eating before the crossing, and quickly grasped the key issue of Xing Tianze's meal.
She patted her head lightly, and walked towards the kitchen with Zhu'er.
I have to say that the kitchen of the palace still has some specifications, and there are a total of eighty-three people who work with the cooks, and now is the time to cook, Tao Mingxi saw a lively scene as soon as he arrived.
"Are you the maid of that courtyard? Don't stand here in the way, get out of the way. A subordinate held some firewood in his arms and shouted loudly.
"Presumptuous, it really scared your dog's eyes, and you dare to ask the princess to make way for you?" Zhu'er immediately stood up and yelled at the man.
