Chapter 368: The Assassin Kills Himself

At dawn the next day, Su Jingye, as usual, yawned and took the carriage to go to the morning court, but as soon as he got off at Baihumen, he saw the figure of Jin Shan from a distance.

Such a strange act, thinking of last night's incident, Su Jingye couldn't help laughing, beckoned his hand and was about to stop Jin Shan, but Jin Shan seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, and turned his head to look at it in advance.

This sudden eye contact was nothing, Su Jingye's waving hand stopped in mid-air, and before he could shout, Jin Shan fled and went forward, and in just a few blinks of an eye, he had already opened up a long distance.

In order to be at the gate of the palace, and it was so early in the morning, it was not appropriate to make excessive noise, Su Jingye had no choice but to hold back the shouting voice and enter the door full of doubts.

But before he could take a few steps, Su Jingye was patted on the back, he was suddenly startled, and turned his head murderously, but saw Shi Zhengzhi, who was a little out of breath.

"I said what happened to you one and two, it seems that you are in a hurry to reincarnate, what is the hurry, so I don't know when I offended you,"

Su Jingye consciously put away his aura, sighed a little melancholy, and pulled down Shi Zhengzhi's hand on his shoulder.

"If you are so worried about the matter of the case, and you don't know how to explain it to Your Majesty, you don't have to. It's just a matter of saying a few good words, isn't it possible that Your Majesty is really holding you back? ”

In the past few days, because of the assassination of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Yutian's temper is not very good every morning in the morning. However, Su Jingye felt that the yin and yang weirdness that had always been with him was more reassuring than losing his temper so bluntly.

After that, Su Jingye looked at him beside him with his eyes, and then walked towards the door with his hands in his arms. Shi Zhengzhi withdrew his hand, calmed down his breath, and hurried after him.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for so long, isn't his temper still unclear, this time I caught up with the prince, I wanted to ask, did the prince see Lord Jin?"

"See, I've just gone in. When you see this king, it is like seeing a ghost, so what are you looking for him? Su Jingye shrugged his shoulders, tilted his chin forward, and pointed in a random direction.

Shi Zheng looked straight in the direction he was pointing, and there was nothing else to see except the main entrance of the lobby, which every official had to pass through before entering the main hall.

He flicked his sleeve lightly, and said a few words with some sympathy. "Then Lord Jin is indispensable today, and he must be reprimanded."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Jingye was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jin Shan had a strange temper, but he didn't have any bad habits, and he didn't even have any family affairs, so he wouldn't cause any trouble.

"It has nothing to do with anything else, it has something to do with the assassin." Shi Zhengzhi seemed to be able to guess what Su Jingye was thinking, and hurriedly dispelled this suspicion for him.

"That assassin who would rather die than give in has survived two days of torture, but just last night, I don't know why, he suddenly committed suicide, and now his body is still locked up in the dungeon."

"Dead, I still think he is really an iron body, it turns out that there are times when he can't stand it." Su Jingye was surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal, in the hearts of people like this who risked death to do great things, they had long put life and death aside.

Just like once grabbed a few Apricot Lie's uniforms on the battlefield, they used various methods of suicide in order to avoid inadvertently revealing secrets, or hitting the wall, or hanging, or biting their tongues. This assassin would be like this, but it was expected by Su Jingye.

"So what kind of method did he use? Haven't you paved the four walls of suicide soft enough? Or was he ripped apart? ”

"This guy's hands have been tied all the time, and he has the strength to pull it." Shi Zhengzhi put his two hands behind his back, and vigilantly forgot about the surroundings, so as not to suddenly appear as a eunuch spy and listen to the words.

"It's poison, and it's the kind of poison that comes back to heaven as soon as you take it. When we first caught the person in, we didn't let go of the whole body, even the hair, who would have thought that it was hidden between our teeth. ”

"There was a hole in the back molars above the Assassin that appeared to have been artificially dug out, and the poison was hidden there. Moreover, he has not been given clean water to drink in the past few days, so the poison has been kept until last night. ”

Hearing this, Su Jingye couldn't help but stand still and sigh a few words. "He really did anything to kill himself. That Lord Jin is really going to be miserable today. ”

Before he was detained, he hid things on his body, but he was not searched, and he contacted people to get things during the interrogation, which is the same crime for Jin Shan and Shi Zhengcheng, and it is also a dereliction of duty. What's even more pitiful is that Jin Shan still doesn't know anything about this matter.

"Alas, when the people in the courtyard hurriedly came to report to me in the morning, it was clearly written on the paper that the assassin's stomach had been dented by the poison, so it was evident that he had been dead for some time."

"If Your Majesty wants to pursue it, my people who guard the Imperial Observatory will have the same responsibility." Shi Zheng straightened his back and bent slightly, he was not worried about Su Yutian asking for his guilt, but he was very protective of his shortcomings, and he was reluctant to let his subordinates be punished.

"Dying to assassinate His Majesty today is not a heroic sacrifice." Su Jingye sighed thoughtfully, and perhaps came back to his senses and patted Shi Zhengzhi gently.

"How do you know so clearly that this is in time for the morning dynasty?"

After speaking, Su Jingye watched Shi Zhengzhi look over with an indescribable look. "The prince is not joking about Xiaguan, that person is locked in the dungeon of my Yushitai, if the lower officials don't know anything about this matter, wouldn't they have been a doctor for so many years?"

"Oh yes, that's what I mean." Just now I suddenly learned the news of the assassin's death, so Su Jingye was still a little unable to recover.

In addition, the time of this early dynasty was already early, just looking at the sun in the sky before it got up, the officials of the various ministries in the court had to come to the palace to report, and it was inevitable that they would not be sober for a while.

While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the room where the officials were waiting before the court. There are a lot of people here, so it's not good to talk in private.

The two had to be quiet first, so as not to be suspected. Even though it may still be mentioned by the emperor later, it would be good to be able to suffer less gossip at this time.

The two of them had just stopped in the room, so they didn't see Li Wensong's eyes in the corner looking over here.

Li Wensong was inevitably a little nervous after stealing the tiger talisman, but he was a master of art and bold, and he didn't have much fear, but when he saw Kong Yun's calm attitude, he was a little suspicious.

Originally, I wanted to observe the behavior of Su Jingye and Shi Zhengzhi, and maybe I could see some clues hidden by Kong Yu, but who would have thought that these two people were talking together quietly, and their expressions were more like discussing gossip.

The people on both sides of Li Wensong and Su Jingye had their own hearts and minds, but they didn't wait for a long time, Su Yutian's personal chief eunuch Xiao Quanzi, and the apprentice Xiao Lizi he accepted led the rest of the little eunuchs over, saluted respectfully to all the adults, and announced that they could enter the main hall.

Su Jingye and Shi Zhengzhi's scalps were numb for a while, and they only cared about talking just now, and they forgot to inform Jin Shan. As soon as he heard the eunuch's notice, Su Jingye hurriedly glanced around, not knowing why, but he didn't see Jin Shan's figure.

In desperation, Su Jingye had no choice but to line up with the others first, enter the main hall together, and after stopping at the seats where they were standing, Su Jingye remembered to look back, and Jin Shan suddenly appeared again, but the expression on his face was a little indescribable.

After a while, Su Yutian also sat down on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, followed by a few usual greetings and asked if there was an excerpt.

Su Jingye stood at the bottom peacefully, thinking that Su Yutian's people might not have been notified so quickly, Su Yutian might not know the news of the assassin's suicide, and he couldn't help but feel a little glad for Jin Shan.

But this kind of psychology didn't last long, Su Yutian knocked the fold on the armrest of the dragon chair, and shouted with a cold face. "The book of the criminal department, where is Jinshan?"

Jin Shan's face was a little strange, but his body was still steady, he took a step to the side and broke away from the group, walked to the center of the main hall and knelt down. "Wechen is here, I don't know what His Majesty commands?"

"I heard that you imprisoned the assassin on the day of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Yushi Taizhong under the pretext that the prison has not been repaired, but is there such a thing?"

The word assassin is like the anger of all officials, Su Yutian said a word indifferently, but it made a group of people in the palace bow their heads in fear.

"That's it, as long as it doesn't affect the investigation of the case, how you plan to arrange it, I won't interfere, I just need a result."

Saying that, Su Yutian looked at the golden mountain bowing down in the hall, and his expression immediately became serious again, and there was even some anger and resentment.

"But there is one thing, I don't know if you have heard of the assassin's suicide in the Imperial Observatory yesterday. Why didn't the court report to me this morning? ”

The words landed, and the aftermath was still echoing in the hall, Su Jingye lowered his head, but he was muttering in his heart: Sure enough, he still can't escape, Jin Shan is really miserable this time.
