Chapter 203: Breaking the Scales
Tao Mingxi was the only one who could be sure that Traceless was a doctor now, but even if he knew all the acupuncture points on the human body, how difficult was it to move a person in the stab at such a distance?
Yang Wentai fell heavily to the ground, his legs instantly lost sensation, as if he was saying something but couldn't say anything at all, he could only stare at Xing Tianze and Wuxian with wide eyes.
Yang Wentai had already fully reacted to the last few words, Xing Tianze was not a Taiwei person at all, he was too careless, how could he take it lightly at this critical moment.
Now that the secret has been leaked, with Xing Tianze's ability to trick him, he can use the same method to deceive others, and Yang Wentai has no way to pass the news to the other three now.
If all four of them said the same thing, it would be ironclad evidence that even if Captain Taishan had 10,000 mouths all over his body, it would be difficult to argue.
Xing Tianze glanced at him coldly, and asked the jailer to call back Yang Wentai to bring Yang Wentai back to the cell where he stayed last night, and at the same time asked another general to bring him over.
The same method was used four times to achieve the same result, Xing Tianze's face was completely gloomy, and the four generals led by Yang Wentai knew that the matter had been leaked, so they had to give up resistance, confess and write down the guilt leniently, and finally stamped their handprints.
Xing Tianze put away the paper, asked the jailer to guard the four of them strictly, and left with Tao Mingxi without a trace.
"I didn't expect the prince to be really resourceful, such a tricky case was solved in only three days." Tao Mingxi looked at Xing Tianze deeply.
I can't help but recall in my mind that the four generals were examined in the prison, Xing Tianze's acting skills were simply superb, coaxing the four of them around, and only after telling the matter did he realize it.
"This is nothing to be happy about, as a lieutenant, I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I don't know that Sijun has done such a reckless thing to serve the country, which is really a big stain on the country." Xing Tianze's fists were already tightly clenched together.
"In the final analysis, this matter is still the credit of the princess, if you hadn't drawn our thoughts to this direction that night, the prince really doesn't know what to do now." Traceless said appreciatively.
"What Wuxian said is good, this military salary incident is thanks to Xi'er." Xing Tianze's face barely showed a chuckle, but a flash of worry flashed in his eyes.
With such a smart princess in the palace, even he is not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, after all, sometimes people are too smart and not a good thing.
"Don't thank me, as long as I go out of the palace to play later, you don't stop it too much." Tao Mingxi smiled proudly.
The atmosphere in the carriage eased a lot with Tao Mingxi's jokes, and it took half an hour for the three of them to return to the palace. As soon as she got out of the carriage, Sun Yingru pounced.
"Lord, you just let the concubine go to the Taiwei Mansion to have a look, the slave family really misses his father very much." Sun Yingru looked at Xing Tianze very crying, she wanted to hug the prince just now, but he moved too fast and avoided it.
"What is the system of crying and crying? Didn't this king forbid you to take half a step out of the palace? Xing Tianze looked at Sun Yingru coldly, and there was even a look of disgust in his eyes: "Has someone from the Taiwei Mansion come to you again?" ”
"Lord, it's been many years since the concubine married to the palace, and I haven't been out of the palace much on weekdays, and this time my father has sent people to find me twice, and the slave family really can't help but miss it." After Sun Yingru was reprimanded by Xing Tianze, she suddenly didn't dare to continue crying.
Tao Mingxi pursed her lips and said hello to Xing Tianze and left, she didn't care if the prince would agree to Sun Yingru leaving.
Yesterday, she had already seen with her own eyes what the Taiwei Mansion looked like, not to mention the identity of Sun Yingru's side concubine, even Tao Mingxi himself couldn't enter without Xing Tianze's leadership.
However, seeing Sun Yingru's appearance of wanting to do things but having no choice, Tao Mingxi's mood was extremely happy, and he soon returned to his yard, where Zhu'er was fiddling with two bottles of plum blossoms.
"Princess, are you back?" After turning around and saluting Tao Mingxi, Zhu'er walked to the door and glanced outside, and then closed the wooden door.
"The princess and slave maid heard from the people in the house that something seems to have happened to the side concubine's mother's family." Zhu'er whispered the flower.
"That's the case, but what does it have to do with us?" A wave of doubt flashed in Tao Mingxi's eyes.
"I want to say that the side concubine Niangniang usually makes trouble for the princess, why don't you take this opportunity to say a few soft words in the prince's ear......"
"Zhu'er, do you think this princess is too stupid? Or do you think I'm too good to you on weekdays, and it's your turn to point fingers in front of me? Tao Mingxi's brows furrowed slightly.
What she wants is a maid who can accompany her in the palace, not a staff member who gives her advice and calculates this today and tomorrow.
To put it bluntly, Tao Mingxi didn't want to ask about the in the palace at all, if it weren't for Sun Yingru who kept coming to her for trouble, she wouldn't have caused so many things.
"The slave doesn't dare to ask the princess for forgiveness!" Zhu'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, and her body began to tremble slightly: "The slave maid is also thinking about the princess, why don't you take this opportunity to suppress the side concubine, so as to consolidate your position in the backyard of the palace." ”
"Okay Zhu'er, I'll tell you this is the last time, if you say something like this again, don't blame this princess for not remembering the old love." Tao Mingxi waved his hand lightly and let Zhu'er go down to work.
At this time, Sun Yingru was driven back to the courtyard by Xing Tianze again, and she was also forbidden to dare to take half a step out of the palace easily, so she should not stay in the position of the side concubine.
Wuji, who had never spoken, followed Xing Tianze back to the study, although the evidence is conclusive now, but if he wants to use this to press the Taiwei to death, it is still completely close.
Although this is a matter of great importance, Emperor Long Ting is angry, but he can't stand the prestige of Taiwei in the court is too high, and many confidential officials have been single-handedly promoted by him in recent years.
Although Xing Tianze is a royal family, his prestige in the court is still too low, and he has too few supporters in his hands.
If there were those officials who were guarding the Tai Lieutenant and said that the evidence was forged by Xing Tianze, or that it was the result of being beaten into a trick, it would be very bad to deal with the orders given to him by the emperor.
Xing Tianze sat on the chair, and Wuxian sat directly opposite him, and neither of them said anything, and for about half an hour, there was a sudden commotion of rubble above the study.
"Prince Qiqi without a trace, just now there was news from the prison, and the four generals who were responsible for escorting the military pay were suddenly poisoned and died." One of the guards was on one knee and spoke in a respectful voice.
"What?" Xing Tianze slammed the table and stood up.
Suddenly, a knife flew in from the window, Xing Tianze decisively turned around and dodged, but before the guards could react, the knife sank into his heart.
