The letterhead is very clear, that is, Wuxian and Tao Mingxi and others have found a mansion, which is rebuilt from a yamen, and according to Li Xin, although it is not as prosperous as the palace, it is already about the same size as the phantom bow, so they have some suspicions that this matter is widely implicated, maybe it is some kind of prince or something like that.

When Xing Tianze saw this letter, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, Lord Wang? Now Xing Tianze doesn't have any brothers, for those brothers, he is relatively merciful, he gave each of them a fief, and he didn't treat them well, and this case was more than 20 years ago, if it was the prince, it must have been a matter of his father's time, and he was still young back then, so he didn't remember much at all.

"Someone!" Xing Tianze ordered.

Soon, a guard walked in, and Xing Tianze said coldly: "Xuan, Lord Zuo entered the palace to see me." ”

"No!"

Lord Zuo is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties, so he knows better than anyone about things more than 20 years ago, and this person is the most important minister of the emperor, if Xing Tianze asks him, he will definitely know a lot of news, but, at this moment, the night is dark, Lord Zuo was about to sleep, but unexpectedly was called into the palace by Xing Tianze, after Lord Zuo saw Xing Tianze, he immediately visited, "The minister Zuo Shangcai knocked on the saint, I don't know if the saint asked to see him late at night, is there anything important to talk to the minister?" ”

Xing Tianze first pursed his lips and then said, "You get up first and then speak." ”

Since Xing Tianze said so, Zuo Shangcai got up, Xing Tianze took a deep breath and said: "Recently, I am investigating a case that has passed more than 20 years ago, but I was still young and didn't understand the words of their adults. ”

Zuo Shangcai said: "Then, your majesty, if you have anything to say to the minister, just say it." ”

"I see that you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties, you must know a lot of things from before, whether there are any royal relatives in the world now, for example, whether I still have any uncles, uncles and the like."

Zuo Shangcai frowned, "This, time has been a long time, and this has to be remembered by the old minister." After thinking for a while, he said: "I still remember that many years ago, when the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, he was excluded by several elder brothers, and after he ascended the throne, those brothers had been killed by him, and there was no one left, according to common sense, there was no prince, after all, he was the youngest, so there was no younger brother." ”

For the sake of the battle for the throne, the first emperor had to work hard to guess the throne of the throne, and Xing Tianze's brows furrowed even more, "All of them were killed by the first emperor?" Didn't leave anyone? ”

"It's true that there is no one left."

One of them, a man dressed as an official, immediately walked in, "No, it's not that there is no one left. ”

This is also an elder, who has been on an errand for decades, and his face is full of wrinkles, so Xing Tianze continued to ask: "Oh? You mean there are still fish that have slipped through the net? ”

"In the past, it was the small one who executed those princes, but when the small one was executed, he didn't find it, and it wasn't until everyone dispersed that the little one found out that something was wrong, and he looked at so many corpses, and one of them was missing."

Zuo Shangcai was very surprised when he heard this, "What? Is there another one missing? ”

Xing Zhaoguo has a rule, that is, when the prince of the dynasty is killed, he has to stop the morgue for a day or two, and the emperor also acted according to the customs of the time, so it seems that there is no problem, but in these two days, the problem was discovered, and Xing Tianze got up from the dragon chair, "Then, according to what you mean, this corpse may not be a corpse, but a person?" It's just that at the time of the execution, he just faked his death? ”

The official said: "Exactly, it's just that if the emperor wants to investigate the case more than 20 years ago, it is really not easy, and the jailers on death row have changed batch after batch, and now, even if you check it again, you can't find anything." ”

"Then, do you recognize all the princes at that time?"

"This, the small one can't recognize it all, but there is one that makes a deep impression on the small, he is Prince Shun, he dreams of the emperor every day, speaks extremely arrogantly, and does not look at people at all, the emperor is precisely because he thinks this person is too arrogant, so he put him on death row, and the things behind, the small one really doesn't have much impression."

Xing Tianze only nodded lightly, and when he talked about Prince Shun, it reminded Zuo Shangcai of something, so he immediately said, "Oh, Prince Shun? The old minister has seen him several times, because this person is very arrogant, so there are a lot of rumors in the palace, saying that this Prince Shun's brain is not a problem or something like that, and what else to say, this Prince Shun does not look at the emperor at all, but when this person starts, he is more ruthless than others, and when other brothers and the emperor fight for the throne, he sits alone and watches the tiger fight.

In other words, he didn't do anything for Xing Zhaoguo, how could he let the old emperor give up the throne to him? thought that after the struggle for the throne failed, there would be nothing to do, and after the first emperor ascended the throne, he naturally failed, so he locked himself in the palace and never went out, as for what he did in it, it is not known, until he was put on death row by the first emperor, and it is unknown what happened in it. ”

Xing Tianze was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say that he would definitely be escorted to the court?" ”

Many years have passed, and everyone's memories are more or less biased, and this official is also thinking, "Oh, by the way, the emperor, the little one remembers, more than twenty years ago, after the execution, the little one also asked the jailer next to him......"

"Huh? How could there be one less? ”

"Prince Shun unfortunately died of a violent illness in prison, and his body has long been carried out."

The official told Xing Tianze about the matter at that time, "However, when I waited in the morgue, I still didn't find Prince Shun's body, and at that time, some of the little ones began to wonder if they had already gone to be buried or something, and besides, the little ones had other things to do, and they forgot about it in a blink of an eye." ”

After Xing Tianze heard what the two of them said, his general situation was almost clear, this Prince Shun might be cheating to death, "Someone!" ”

The night guard immediately came, "Your Majesty! ”

"You go to Gyro and bring some of my words to Xi'er and them, I suspect that the person they investigated is Prince Shun."
