Chapter 367: Forced Questioning

"Father, don't you know, these people today are all the subordinates of the seventh brother, if they are open-minded, why do they send people to attack An Qiguo's envoys, and the sons see that they are obviously ill-intentioned!" The eldest prince said with a cold face.

After listening to this, the ministers also felt that the words of the eldest prince were very reasonable.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, why don't you send someone to bring the Seven Princes and the Seven Imperial Concubines into the palace for personal interrogation?" The confidant of the eldest prince immediately stood on his side.

Since the death of the eldest prince of An Qiguo, many people have been worried about this matter, and now they have finally found a clue.

Naturally, they won't let it go, even if the other party is the Seventh Prince, they don't care.

After all, the crown prince of the Great Qi Dynasty is Jun Qianyu now, and Jun Qianchen is just a seventh prince with no real power.

punished a prince, and the stability of the Great Qi Dynasty that could be exchanged, they felt that this matter was not a loss.

The emperor believed in Jun Qianchen in his heart, so he wanted to protect him.

However, all the ministers spoke to the eldest prince, and felt that the emperor should imprison Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia and give An Qiguo an explanation.

After all, those who were caught by the eldest prince were indeed Jun Qianchen's subordinates, and the evidence was conclusive If the emperor did not act again, he was afraid of arousing the dissatisfaction of An Qiguo's envoys.

The emperor was very angry when he saw the situation developing beyond his control.

However, as the emperor, he seems to be in control of power, but he can't do everything he wants.

In order to clear the suspicion of Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia, the emperor immediately sent someone to the prison to interrogate Du Zifeng.

At the same time, he perfunctorily reprimanded the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, saying that he would definitely severely punish the matter.

The ministers didn't dare to really persecute the emperor, so they could only go back silently.

The eldest prince thought that the emperor would directly send someone to take Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia to the heavenly prison, but he didn't expect that the emperor would still choose to defend them at this moment.

"Father, the son knows that you have always favored the seventh brother, but this matter has an extraordinary impact on the imperial court, please be sure to deal with it impartially!" The eldest prince reminded.

"Are you questioning me?" The emperor's eyes were like ice.

"Erchen doesn't dare!" The eldest prince heard the anger in his words, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen is dedicated to the sake of our Daqi, please ask my father to learn from it!" ”

"Whether it's for the sake of the country, or for your own selfish desires, I know in my heart, go out!" The eldest prince said sharply.

Hearing this, even if the eldest prince was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and retreat.

He has already sown the bait in this matter, no matter what the emperor chooses, Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia are destined to become sacrificed chess pieces.

Unless they can find the real killer right away......

After a sneer appeared on the corner of the eldest prince's mouth, he returned to his mansion in a good mood.

In the prison, the emperor's henchmen were forcing Du Zifeng to murder the eldest prince.

"I don't really have a killer, he was dead when I passed!" No matter how others pressed him, Du Zifeng's confession never changed.

In order to force out the news they wanted from his mouth, Du Zifeng has suffered a lot in the past few days.

Previously, with the protection of Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia, as well as the emperor's attention, he almost didn't suffer much.

However, since the eldest prince intervened in this matter, Du Zifeng was often served by the punishment inside.

Now, he is covered with scars, but the jailers are very measured, Du Zifeng's injuries seem to be serious, but they are all skin injuries, and he can naturally get better after some time of cultivation.

After all, he had not yet been convicted, so the jailers did not dare to kill him......

"The person who instructed you to poison the eldest prince is the husband and wife of the Seventh Prince?" The jailer ignored his arguments and continued to interrogate.

"No, I have no contact with the Seventh Prince from beginning to end!" Du Zifeng can be admitted to the exam, so he is naturally not an ordinary person.

The meaning of his words, how could Du Zifeng not hear it.

This person obviously wanted to force himself to identify Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia.

He was innocent in this matter, but they were still struggling with each other, obviously wanting to catch themselves and Jun Qianchen and them.

Du Zifeng didn't know who was so despicable, but there was no way, they couldn't be involved, otherwise he would be ashamed of taking care of Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia.

During the days when he came to Qidu to catch the exam, although they never took the initiative to contact him, Du Zifeng knew that they had been secretly sending people to take care of themselves.

What's more, Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia are both upright people and would not behave like such a villain......

The emperor's people pressed him for more than an hour, but Du Zifeng always insisted that the matter had nothing to do with them......

In this regard, the emperor is quite satisfied, as long as he does not admit it, there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

He is the master of the Great Qi Dynasty, if he can't even protect his son and daughter-in-law, how can he continue to rule the court in the future.

However, An Qiguo's people are very dissatisfied with the emperor's attitude, and they have been persecuting the emperor and giving them justice.

They felt that the emperor's reply was deliberately perfunctory, so they kept asking the emperor to hand over the real murderer of the eldest prince to them, including Jun Qianchen and his wife.

The emperor refused without hesitation.

If Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia were handed over to An Qiguo's people to deal with, they would definitely have only one way to die.

This matter clearly has nothing to do with them, how could the emperor allow others to hurt them.

An Qiguo's envoys did not receive a satisfactory answer, so they kept pressing step by step, and even threatened that if he did not agree, their country would never give up.

The emperor heard the persecution in his words, and he wanted to threaten himself to agree by starting a war.

In this regard, the emperor was angry and angry, but if he could, he was not at war between the two countries.

So, he secretly went to Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia, hoping that they could find out the murderer as soon as possible, and the matter was imminent.

Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia were also at a loss for this matter.

Since they arrived in Qidu, they have been investigating the real culprit who killed the eldest prince, but there has not been much progress at the moment.

However, the eldest prince deliberately designed to involve them, and Bai Linxia and his wife were very angry about it.

However, at the moment, they have no choice but to intensify their investigation.

Two days later, the situation in Qidu became more and more urgent.

An Qiguo's envoys would enter the palace every day to persecute the emperor, and the emperor put all the pressure on them in order to protect them.

After discussing with Bai Linxia, Jun Qianchen personally went to find An Qiguo's envoys.

"We also feel very sorry for the sudden death of the prince of your country, but this matter really has nothing to do with us, I hope your country can give us a month, we will definitely find out the real culprit and give you a satisfactory explanation!" Jun Qianchen negotiated with the other party.

"No, the king is very sad about the death of the eldest prince, you have been delaying this again and again, it is clear that you have not taken us seriously, if you don't hand over the murderer immediately, we will directly send troops to war!" An Qiguo's envoy said impatiently.

"The war between the two countries is bound to cause countless casualties, don't you care at all?" Jun Qianchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Since you don't want to go to war, do as we say!" An Qiguo's envoy's attitude was very tough, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Jun Qianchen felt that this matter was a little strange, if he was really seeking justice for the dead eldest prince, why was his attitude so strange.

However, he still kept quietly dealing with An Qiguo's envoys.

He wanted to test what the other party wanted to do.

"We can all understand your king's thoughts, but you should also want to find out who really killed the eldest prince, instead of finding a scapegoat at random!" Bai Linxia Road.

"It's your business to investigate the real culprit, what do we have to do with it, we just need the results!" The man said with a proud expression.

"The one who died was your eldest prince, and you are too ruthless to say that, right?" Bai Linxia changed his words.

"Enough, if you come to intercede, go out immediately, we won't accept it, if you have other purposes, don't blame me for not giving mercy!" An Qiguo's envoy was suddenly furious.

Bai Linxia sensed a hint from his attitude.

He doesn't seem to really take the death of the eldest prince seriously, just talking aggressively, and often mentioning the word war.

After the husband and wife glanced at each other, they immediately pretended to be annoyed and left the palace where An Qiguo's envoy lived.

"Qianchen, I think there is something wrong with this envoy!" After leaving, Bai Linxia immediately expressed his feelings, "He doesn't seem to care at all whether the real murderer of the eldest prince can be found, he just blindly forces us to hand over people!" ”

"Well, I suspect he came here for another purpose!" Jun Qianchen also noticed it.

This man had a very bad attitude towards them, and his words were full of arrogance, as if he was sure that they would compromise.

"I don't think the death of the eldest prince is so simple!" A terrible guess surged in Bai Linxia's heart.

Although she thought it was ridiculous, she just couldn't erase that thought in her heart.

"I will immediately send someone to investigate An Qiguo's envoys!" Jun Qianchen felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden in this envoy's body.

Bai Linxia held his hand and said, "I feel that the truth will come out soon!" ”

When they came over this time, they originally wanted to persuade An Qiguo's envoys to give them some time and let them investigate the matter carefully, but they didn't expect to have an unexpected gain......

They had been worried about it before, but now they had more doubts in their hearts.

If things turn out as they guessed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After they went back, Leng Xiong immediately reported good news to Jun Qianchen.

"Master, we have found out who sent the letter to Du Zifeng before and asked him to meet the eldest prince!" In order to find out that person, Leng Xiong and Leng Feng have hardly met each other in the past few days.

Du Zifeng's identity is special, Leng Xiong didn't want them to worry about this matter, so he took the others and kept looking for that person according to Du Zifeng's description.

It's a pity that I couldn't find it before, but today I suddenly discovered the whereabouts of the other party.

Leng Xiong suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately told Jun Qianchen about it.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, but the eldest prince deliberately framed him, wanting to put Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia in prison.

Naturally, they had to go out of their way to stop it.

The eldest prince is insidious, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will decisively frame Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia.

Therefore, they have been guarding against the eldest prince all along, but unfortunately this time they almost fell behind, but fortunately, the emperor was wise and did not listen to the words of the eldest prince and put them in prison......
