Chapter 5: The Case of the Prince
When Su Yan got up, it was almost noon, she finished tidying up, and began to pack up her flowers and plants, when she came, she also carried a bear boy in her bag, which had been transplanted into the flower pot in front of the house.
At this time, Fugui came to pass and let her go to the Hou Mansion.
She pondered in her heart, afraid that she would have to work overtime to deal with any important cases, so she let Fugui go to her own business, cleaned her hands, and led the little donkey to the Jingwen Marquis Mansion.
Yes, Su Yan was too lazy to walk, so in order to facilitate commuting, he bought a small donkey to travel.
More than twenty minutes away, said far away.
When he arrived at the Shizi's Mansion, the subordinates led the donkey, and Su Yan went to meet Li Donglai, and Li Donglai came to the head: "The prince is gone." โ
โโฆโฆ๏ผโ Su Yan didn't react for a moment.
"Last night, the third watch was about to end, and the prince died violently in the dormitory. His Majesty was furious and ordered the three divisions of Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly. โ
The simpler the words, the more serious the matter.
Dali Temple took the lead, pulling the criminal department and the imperial history platform.
After Su Yan followed Li Shizi to run errands, he learned that in addition to judging cases, Dali Temple also had to investigate cases, but all the important cases assigned by the emperor and the difficult cases transferred by the Criminal Department were investigated.
Needless to say, the six departments are in charge of the princes, and the Dali Temple is directly responsible to the emperor, so this arrangement is not biased.
"All the people in the East Palace have been arrested, and they are investigating, but there is still no progress."
This kind of thing, there is a problem as soon as you hear it, is it really good to tell me so directly, Su Yan complained in his heart, thank you for your trust Hehe.
The situation of the royal family, Su Yan heard a little. It is said that the previous generations were all thin in children, and it is not until the current saint that the direct line is considered to be scattered.
There are six sons and five daughters.
Today's crown prince Yang Hao, the age is not confused, as the son of today's saint, since he was a child, he has been placed on high hopes by Jinshang, good learning, good martial arts, good health, has been cultivated as a successor, Ren Xian, diligent in political affairs, worried about the country and the people, and has the world in mind, it is simply an excellent prince template, and there is no one who knows him not to say that he is good.
But today's thoughts are also strange, when you are old and strong, you have always been on the front line, not to mention, and the princes and queens have never been divided, so the prince has been the prince for forty years.
Everyone thought that after two years of waiting for what was going on today, he would be able to ascend to the throne smoothly, but it didn't work out, he was cold! What a jealous talent!
Su Yan silently lit wax for the old prince in his heart.
"How did you find out?"
"The chamberlain on night duty in the dormitory added a lamp at the approaching third watch, and found that the prince was lying on the official case, and the chamberlain thought that the prince was too tired to deal with official business, and went up to check only to find that the prince had no breath."
"Was it a natural death?" Su Yan heard Li Shizi say that the prince burned the lamp and followed the sundial, so diligently, and even suspected that he stayed up all night and died suddenly, "Does the prince have any symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and arrhythmia recently?"
Hearing this, the prince glanced at her strangely, and said lightly: "The prince is in good health and has a calm appearance. The hospital checked and ruled out poisoning. โ
"Are there any wounds on your body? What was the scene like when you found it?"
"The scene remained relatively intact, and the Shirate Mansion sealed the scene when he heard the letter. It has been examined by the Tai Hospital and Dali Temple, and there are no injuries. Shizi frowned, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and in front of the window was a crape myrtle, the flowers bloomed like clouds and fire, and they were very gorgeous.
"There was no one to sleep that night, the prince was alone, and there was no abnormality when the third guard of the inner servant patrolled, and water was added; There are no traces of invasion and fighting in the dormitory, and the incense, food, drinking water, and medicine in the halls of the East Palace have all been seized and verified, and there is no problem. โ
yes, yes, how does it sound like sudden death.
"There are many rumors in the palace, and it is rumored that someone has performed witchcraft, and His Majesty ordered a strict investigation of the palaces."
This is metaphysics, maybe the prince was out of his body last night, and it is not necessary that he and the emperor of Qingxu soared at night, Su Yan thought about it, and felt that it was not right, it was too fast.
"Before the results are out, the investigation should not be leaked, and no one has reported that the assassination and poisoning are the scourge of witchcraft...... Has the person who spread the rumors been found? "Since the Han Dynasty, the palace has always been the most taboo of witch Gu calamity.
Shizi turned around and shook his head, Su Yan seemed to be quite relieved to see him turn around again?
"That's what we're going to do next." Shiko patted her on the shoulder.
"Let's start from the beginning, Shizi and I will take a look at the case file." Su Yan was helpless, he was a student of materials, even if he ran errands, it was also very difficult to engage in criminal investigation across disciplines.
"Come with me to Dali Temple in the afternoon, the case file should be delivered." Shizi nodded, pretending not to see her embarrassed expression.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The crown prince is mourned for half a year, and he is not allowed to sing, dance, feast and drink.
The whole of Kyoto seems to be much heavier, and under the heaviness, there are indescribable clouds and treachery, and even Su Yan, an outsider, feels a little uneasy.
The person who spread rumors was found out by the Shirate Mansion the next day was a little maid named Fuhong who was working as an errand in the East Palace. The man was caught, but he was fished out of the lake. The ten rate of the government recognized the person, and handed it over to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple inspected the scene, examined the autopsy, and issued a report in half a day.
The prince looked at it and handed it to Chu He, who swept his eyes and passed it to Zhang Sicheng.
Zhang Sicheng had already read the corresponding information at the interim meeting of the middle and high-level of Dali Temple after the report came out, and he didn't raise his eyes, and gave it to Su Yan.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Su Yan took it with both hands and read it carefully, what was written on it was all in traditional Chinese, and she read it a little slowly.
The report probably said that the palace people who found the body at the scene were more seriously damaged, the footprints at the water's edge were muddy and messy, and the shoes of the deceased were found on the sparsely populated side of the deep grass and trees near the water.
It looks like he was worried that the rumors would be found out, and he committed suicide in fear of sin.
The deceased's body was swollen, with pale pink crab-like foam on his mouth and nose, abrasions on his forehead, and no obvious external injuries to other parts.
Su Yan touched his chin, this is a big problem, either this person was very conscious when he died, died extraordinary, and did not struggle at all; Either the person fainted before he died, and there was no way to struggle.
Su Yan fell into the pond because of playfulness when she was a child, although more than ten years have passed, and she has no impression of other things, she still remembers the suffocation and fear of her feet not touching the ground, the suffocation and fear of the pool water not being roofed, and the nervousness and panic of not being able to touch the real thing in her hands at that time.
But if it's the second case, then who stuned her in what way and threw her into the lake, creating the illusion of suicide by jumping into the water, and why did he do it? Who is it for?
Write down the doubts one by one, Su Yan bit the tip of the pen, I will ask for this question, theme: winning the heir.
The prince died in the third watch of the Midyear Festival, and he died strangely, and as soon as the prince died, rumors came out in the palace, the disaster of witches! As soon as the Dali Temple investigated the rumors, the people jumped to death, which shows that the rumors did not end well...... No, it can be seen that someone instigated it, is this the person who instructed the envoy and the murderer of Fuhong, and the person who caused the sudden death of the prince a wave of people? Or is someone fishing in troubled waters?
Either way, it's not easy to investigate. In the palace, all of them are big guys, offending people.
Su Yan put down his pen, supported his head with one hand, raised his eyes to look at Shizi and discussed with the two.
โโฆโฆ The people in that palace have also been in contact with recently, and because she is a little girl in foreign affairs, no one really pays attention to it.
It's been a few years since she entered the palace, and the palace people in Fuhong's class said that she didn't have any good friends, she usually didn't talk much, she was timid, her hands and feet were sharp, and she was also diligent, so she didn't expect to do this kind of thing. โ
โโฆโฆ Her belongings had been cleaned and sealed earlier in the Ten Rates Mansion, and there was nothing suspicious. The palace people in the same room said that she had not rested well in the past two months, and several times she woke up in the middle of the night and heard her tossing and turning,......"
Now it is an ad hoc meeting of the task force, because there are other cases to deal with, and there are not many people left in Zuo Temple. Why are they all left temples, because the right temple Shaoqing and her prince are a little bit at odds.
Qian Yuan, the Shaoqing of the Right Temple, has known the Mandate of Heaven for 15 years, has been an official for 15 years, and finally got the position of Right Shaoqing, and after several years, it is almost the end, but Dua came to Zuo Shaoqing, who is still a kid who has not dried up, and it is inevitable that he will be unhappy.
Su Yan, as the follower of the prince, was inevitably put on a face, and Su Yan felt that this bad old man was very bad. Her family is handsome and chic, young and promising, respects the old and loves the young, so that he is not as knowledgeable as a bad old man.
As if noticing Su Yan's subtle eyes, Shizi turned to look at her and asked, "Ah Yan, what do you think?"
โโฆโฆ I don't want to speak, but I think it's better to look in the direction of the prince. Su Yan said weakly.
Chu Yunqing raised his eyebrows, and Zhang Sicheng pursed his lips with a serious expression.
Shizi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Tell me." โ
Su Yan briefly said his speculation, and he was a little cautious in his words, constantly glancing at the expressions of several people.
The prince joked: "Then the prince is here, you can check." โ
"Don't! I'm okay to run an errand, people don't know ...... "What should I do if I accidentally step on a thunder."
"If you have something to find Chu He, I will also give you the necessary support if you need it." "Okay, it's so happily decided. Just right, two days before the incident, you will take on this position, so you are also a member of our Dali Temple, and Chu He will do it. โ
The corners of Chu Yunqing's mouth rose, and a smile overflowed from his eyes.
Su Yan: "......" retracted what he had just praised him, (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ(โปโโปBoss, where do you see where I am happy!), hey!
โโโโโโโโ
Emperor Yuan Shu lost his beloved son, the thirteenth day of the resignation, and then gave the name of "Huizhang", stopped Dongyang Temple, and returned to the royal mausoleum to repair the prince's mausoleum on the day of the Qintian supervisor.
Under the strict order of Emperor Yuan Shu, the three divisions lit the lamp and followed the sundial, worked day and night, and broke his leg, but there were also some specious clues.
