Chu Tianzhao ran out quickly, and as soon as he turned around, he went to the wall, and the light skill was indeed breathtaking. Fei'er was dumbfounded. After a long time, she stepped forward and pulled out the knife, and a few blood-red words were written crookedly on the note: Continue to investigate, so that you will die without a corpse! The blood-red, scribbled handwriting made her shudder, as if the words were like demons from hell jumping out of a note.

Phil took the note down and laid it flat on the table. She studied it carefully for a long time and found nothing. The characters were written with vermilion paint, and the person who wrote the note deliberately wrote the words crookedly to prevent anyone from recognizing the handwriting. Who is this person? He had obviously noticed our every move, which meant that the killer must have been prepared at this moment. I really didn't expect that now it is the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. So who is this yellow finch? And who is behind this yellow finch? What are they doing this for? We have always been very low-key, and we rarely attract the attention of others, is this person close to us?

Phil envisioned many outcomes, all of which she overturned herself. At this time, a person suddenly flashed in her mind, the ten princes with a handsome face and a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. She thought that the struggle in the palace on TV was all between father and son, between brothers, could it be him? By the way, he killed the loyal ministers around the emperor, and then found an opportunity to get rid of the emperor so that he could become the emperor himself. In this way, this Ten Princes is really cunning.

He first killed the loyal ministers around the emperor one by one, and also walked around the rumors that the emperor's country would be over, saying that the descendants of Fang Xiaoru would take revenge, and this plan was really seamless. When people's hearts are in turmoil and the time is ripe, he can take the opportunity to coup and pull Chongzhen down from the emperor's throne. When he becomes the emperor, who else can control him anymore? He can find a reason to send Chongzhen to the border, if he still thinks of flesh and blood, he may let him die of old age. If you want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, you will send someone to kill him halfway through. There are too many things like this on TV, and the internal struggle within the royal family is the most cruel, for the sake of power, they can abandon their wives and daughters, and any flesh and blood affection is worthless in their eyes.

But even though I think so, it is useless to have no evidence. If she told the emperor like this, saying that his own brother would seek power and usurp the throne, not only would it ruin their royal reputation after it was spread. If the emperor doesn't believe her at all, he will be charged with "misleading the public with gossip and provoking the affection of the royal family".

The more Fei'er thought about it, the more she felt that what she thought made sense, and she couldn't wait to tell Chu Tianzhao about this idea, and then go with him to expose this big scam. He will definitely praise him, thinking that he is really ice and snow smart, maybe he will want to give me a promise on impulse...... She almost laughed out loud when she thought about it.

She slapped the table and laughed as she daydreamed.

But......

Yang Fei'er said in her heart: I still can't tell Chu Tianzhao about this speculation, there are too many people involved in this matter. I can't say, Chu Tianzhao's mind was hot, and he told the emperor that it would be good if he could come up with real evidence, but he was not at all sure now. When the time comes, if they are bitten back by the ten princes, it will all be over. Besides, this matter can't be only the tenth prince, he must have other powerful comrades, I'm afraid that it won't be enough to die ten thousand times by then.

At this time, she saw Chu Tianzhao walking in, she ran forward and asked, "Brother Chu, have you caught the guy who threw the knife?" Chu Tianzhao smiled with a complicated expression, shook his head and said, "When I chased out of the palace, there were suddenly several more people in night clothes in front of me, and they ran in different directions. I kept an eye on the night walker who had run out of the palace and noticed that he was running in the direction of Mukden Street. I think it may be a trap planted by the other party to lure us into the bait. ”

Yang Fei'er was speechless. All the people living in Fengtian Street are relatives of the emperor, and it seems that this time the incident is really unusual. Fortunately, she didn't tell Chu Tianzhao about her guess, and let Chu Tianzhao find out the murderer. Now it seems that they themselves are being targeted by the murderer, and they may be attacked at any time. If you are in the light, the other party is in the dark, and if you don't do it, you will be killed.

Yang Fei'er thought for a long time before saying to Chu Tianzhao: "Brother Chu, I think the other party is very big this time, think about the people who dare to commit murder in the palace and can still run to us to demonstrate." His power must not be underestimated, and if we continue to investigate like this, I'm afraid something will happen. ”

Chu Tianzhao glanced at Yang Fei'er sullenly and said, "I'm not afraid myself, it's mainly you and Miss Yuanyuan." I can't always be around you, I'm afraid that someone will be bad for you. But the emperor is kind to me, and this time the matter is so strange, I will be uneasy if I don't care. ”

Both of them fell into deep thought, and after a long time, Chu Tianzhao raised his head and said, "Let's rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." With that, he got up and walked out. Yang Fei'er sat there in a daze, speechless all night.

Early the next morning, Chu Tianzhao went to court with the emperor. Yang Fei'er was bored, so she went outside to wander around the imperial garden.

Besides, Chu Tianzhao hurriedly walked towards the main hall with all the guards, and they had to line up before the emperor went to court. When I passed through the Yuehua Gate, I saw a person walking over with a smile, and it turned out to be Prince Jane.

Chu Tianzhao hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

Prince Jian stroked his few beards and said with a smile: "Chu Zhuangshi, oh no, now it is called Commander Chu." We haven't seen each other in months, haven't we? This king has always been worried, and has wanted to come to you many times to talk to you, but he is entangled in mundane affairs. It's better to meet by chance, let's go over there and talk. ”

At the moment, he couldn't help but pull Chu Tianzhao, Chu Tianzhao estimated that it was still early, so he asked the others to go first, and accompanied Prince Jian to the side hall alone.

Seeing that there was no one around, Prince Jane put away his smile. He asked unhurriedly, "I heard that the emperor recently asked you to investigate the cases of Lord Yang and Lord He?" ”

Chu Tianzhao nodded and said, "Lord Hui, there is such a thing. I secretly wondered in my heart, according to Fei'er, when the emperor asked her to investigate the case, only the round girl was by her side, how could this Prince Jian know? But he was immediately relieved, he and Fei'er went out of the palace together to two adults' mansions, where are there impermeable walls in the world?

Prince Jian said: "Commander Chu, I think when you and your master came to the palace, this king saw at a glance that you were extraordinary, a loyal and courageous person. I originally wanted to make you a friend, but unfortunately it was delayed because of your little brother's affairs. I didn't expect that after so many years, we are still officials in the same dynasty. Isn't this life amazing? ”

Prince Jian looked at Chu Tianzhao with a grin to see how he would answer.

Chu Tianzhao said: "Thank you for your appreciation, how can I afford to climb high?" ”

Prince Jane's expression eased, and he said, "What is high and low, since you are friends, how can you be so polite?" As the saying goes, the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water. Although this king has been added as the prince, when don't you want to live the life of some ordinary people, how can you come and go freely like Brother Chu, and live so freely. ”

Chu Tianzhao vaguely felt that Prince Jian was not here to chat with him today, let alone sincerely make him a friend. With his rich experience in the rivers and lakes for so many years, he felt that Prince Jian had something to say to him, but Chu Tianzhao was a relatively simple-minded person, and he couldn't think of the meaning of the prince's words, so he said straightforwardly: "Lord, I, Chu Tianzhao, am fortunate to be appreciated by the emperor and you, which is not envied by others." I'm a rough man below, and I won't talk around the corner, but I can also hear that you seem to have something to mention me. The prince might as well say it directly. ”

Seeing that this piece of wood had finally opened up, Prince Jian suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Brother Chu, you and Miss Fei'er are investigating the case of He Zhongtang and Yang Shangshu, and I am very worried about you. Do you think about why the Criminal Department hasn't found out anything about this matter for so long? In fact, it is not that the Criminal Department is ineffective, nor that they do not have a master of investigating the case, but that this matter is very complicated. This king also knows a little bit about the inside story, but even this king doesn't dare to interfere in this matter, so he can only mediate from it, I hope that Chu will command you to stop worrying about this matter, otherwise it will not be good for you, Miss Fei'er, or even Miss Yuanyuan......" said while looking at Chu Tianzhao's expression.

Chu Tianzhao stood up straight, he already had a faint sense in his heart of what the purpose of Prince Jian's trip was. He said tentatively: "Lord Wang, are you saying that the person behind this matter is not trivial? ”

Prince Jian bowed slightly, and his scheming eyes stared at every moment when Chu Tianzhao's expression changed.

Chu Tianzhao said: "He Zhongtang, Yang Shangshu are all good officials who are loyal to the emperor, I don't believe that even the descendants of Fang Xiaoru should be able to distinguish between right and wrong, even if he wants to kill, he should also kill those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can he kill Qing officials?" I don't think this matter will be done by Fang Xiaoru's descendants, it is very likely that the officialdom is excluding dissidents. Maybe...... Kill the Loyal Minister...... Could it be that someone wants to reduce the emperor's rights and try to seek power and usurp the throne? ”

Just when Chu Tianzhao said "seeking power and usurping the throne" in an undisguised manner, Prince Jian's face suddenly stiffened, his expression was very ugly, and he said angrily: "Brother Chu, you and I are friends, so naturally we will not spread what you said today, but in the future, you must not mention such a thing in front of outsiders, otherwise your head will not be guaranteed!" Also, this king only mentions you when you are yourself, and I ask Brother Chu to do it yourself. ”

Chu Tianzhao was a hard stone, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Thank you, Lord Wang, for your advice, but the matter of eating the king is the responsibility of the king." The little one does things for the emperor, and he should do his best. Now that this matter has been resolved, I will investigate it and share the emperor's worries. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Prince Jian and said, "I shouldn't have been disrespectful to the prince. But as an important minister of the court, the prince should have solved problems for the emperor, and the prince is here to persuade the little ones to cover up the crimes for the criminals, isn't it a bad grace? ”

Prince Jian laughed and said, "That's that, Brother Chu is really a loyal and righteous man." I'm also thinking about a few of you, after all, we have a deep friendship. Ah, hehe, are you right? ”

Chu Tianzhao said with a straight face: "Thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me." It's not too early, it's time for the little one to accompany the emperor to the court, lord, please do it. As he spoke, he strode away. Prince Jian squeezed a smile out of the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how to lift, you are good-looking." The crumpled hand in his hand was vaguely a silver ticket that he didn't have time to give to Chu Tianzhao.

The sound of drums on the upper floor of the noon gate city woke up the entire capital. The officials all gathered in front of the noon gate and lined up, waiting for the bell to ring, and the hundred officials entered in turn, crossing the Jinshui Bridge and forming a line in the square. The civil and military officials were cautious, for fear that if one of them accidentally coughed or walked unsteadily, they would be written down for questioning. Chu Tianzhao was a guard with a knife from the second rank, so he could carry weapons on the main hall and deal with contingencies at any time.

After a while, the emperor drove to the Taihe Palace, entered from the side hall, and hundreds of officials bowed and bowed.

The eunuch announced in a shrieked voice: "At the beginning of the court, there will be something to start playing, and the curtain will disperse when there is nothing to do!"

The civil and military officials were silent for a while. At this time, I saw Li Biao, the servant of the ministry, step forward and said loudly: "Playing the emperor, Weichen wants to know how the emperor arranged the death of Lord He Zhongtang and Lord Yang?" Why hasn't anyone thoroughly investigated this case until now, is it impossible for them to die unjustly? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were stunned. Everyone knows that Li Biao speaks recklessly on weekdays, but they never imagined that he would speak like this to the emperor in person. Everyone couldn't help but sweat for him in the palms of their hands.

Prince Jian bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Li doesn't need to be angry, the emperor has his own opinions, so you can't roar in the court." "They have always been at odds, and now neither side has a good word for them.

Li Biao, the servant of the ministry, snorted coldly and said: "Who in the court doesn't know that He Zhongtang and Yang Shangshu are both first-class loyal ministers, and now the emperor has lost his right-hand man, it is really my Ming's misfortune!" The murderer deliberately killed the two loyal ministers with insidious intentions, and perhaps some ill-intentioned people coveted the throne. ”

This servant of the ministry is really not shocking. As soon as he insinuated this, the officials below immediately made a mess.

Prince Jian said hatefully: "Lord Li, it is clear that you want to divide the cohesion of our Ming officials. Our officials of the Ming Dynasty are united and loyal to the emperor, how can you slander and slander so much! Then, he arched his hand to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Li, he is making a big fuss and roaring the hall, which is clearly a bully!" slandering the big and small officials present and confusing the public with gossip, their hearts can be punished! Please also ask the emperor to condemn him to death! ”

When Li Biao heard this, he said angrily: "What is a big fuss!" The two major court officials were poisoned for no reason, why did it become a trivial matter in your heart, Prince Jane? I said that you are careless of human life! ”

The two of you said a word, and I said a word, and they almost fought.

The emperor really can't stand it, but he can't do anything to them. One is his own uncle, who is in a high position. The other is an old courtier who has been entrusted with important tasks and is loyal to himself. So, he waved his hand and told them to stand back, and then looked at Chu Tianzhao. Chu Tianzhao knew what the emperor meant, so he nodded at the emperor. The emperor said: "I have sent Commander Chu to investigate this matter, and I ask Commander Chu to tell you in detail." ”

As soon as everyone heard the answer, there was a buzz below. The eunuch cleared his throat and shouted, "Quiet, quiet! The hall fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Tianzhao, waiting for him to state the case.
