Chapter Eighty-Eight: Shot
An Zhifu never dreamed that it would alarm the three princes, let alone that the three princes could come so quickly.
He was reluctant to do so in his heart, but he could only stop all his actions, straighten his clothes, kneel down to greet and justify: "The prison is a place of filth, and it is really inappropriate for His Highness to come here. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the two officials trapped in the prison. When their eyes met, the two of them shook for no reason, and then the steel teeth were bitten, and the poison hidden in the teeth suddenly broke.
"If this king doesn't come, will the case of the Western Regions spy be closed tonight?" Before the third prince could finish speaking, the two officials in the prison fell to the ground with a bang, bleeding from all seven holes.
This change caught her off guard, and Qiao An and Star Fruit, who had been preventing the accident, were taken aback.
Although the star fruit is injured, after all, it is a doctor who has passed the test with quality. When she was still shocked in her thoughts, the whole person had already rushed to the side of the two servants and bleed the pulse in one go.
"Give me a knife and wine, and prepare cinnabar, gallnut, and a hundred poison pills."
An Zhifu had seen the medical skills of star fruit, and he was afraid that she would save these two people, so he couldn't help but clench his fists. Of course, he couldn't just clench his fists, and he quietly gave his henchman a look again, telling him to make sure to prevent the medicine from arriving.
He thought that his eyes were secretive, but he did not escape the eyes of the third prince.
"You follow to get the medicine, if you can't get it back within half an hour, you two will come to see you."
With this order, the medicine came back quickly. Star fruit recovered from the accident and devoted herself to saving people.
In this process, someone carried the Taishi chair and asked the three princes to sit, and the three princes did not refuse.
An Zhifu was miserable, and tried to persuade again: "The hour is not early, why don't Your Highness go back and rest?" There are lower officials watching here, and there will be no more accidents in the future. ”
The third prince hummed shallowly, but his body was as motionless as a bell: "Who were you going to order to kill just now?" After so many days, the case of the spies in the Western Regions has been tried? ”
"Don't dare!"
An Zhifu was frightened, and knelt at the feet of the third prince as soon as his legs were weak: "The minister is an official of the imperial court, how can he kill people rashly?" It is a great treachery and a great evil, and life and death are determined by their own laws. ”
The third prince glanced at the broken head meaningfully, and swept away the servant who was about to cut Qiao An with a knife just now, and sighed without smiling: "What this king heard and saw when he entered the prison was all illusory? Perhaps, this king should also find a doctor to look at his ears and eyes? ”
His tone was not vicious, and even a little banter and ridicule, but the cold sweat on the back of Governor An was even more violent.
"Your Highness has misunderstood!"
He kowtowed heavily, as if the heavier the kowtow, the more he could show his innocence: "The minister heard in his sleep that someone had robbed the prison and came in a hurry. As soon as he entered the prison door, he saw someone committing murder, and in desperation, he had to give an order to capture the gangsters alive and act cheaply if he resisted. ”
"When the axe soldiers met, they were red-eyed, and this is the scene that His Highness saw."
The third prince bent his hand and tapped on the armrest of the chair, and after a while, he let out a lazy sigh and stopped pursuing it.
Qiao An had been secretly observing the conversation between the expressions of the two people, and seeing the reaction of the third prince, his brows furrowed tightly.
At this time, the star fruit has also been busy.
"My life was saved, but the residual poison has not been cleared, and I will have to wait a little longer to wake up."
An Zhifu looked at the third prince tentatively and asked, "Xiaguan suspects that these two people are the same party of Qiao An and star fruit, and they are important clues." But now they are unconscious, locked in prison for fear of not being safe. Why don't you borrow the firewood room in the courtyard of His Royal Highness? ”
"Shall the king's dwelling place be set foot in by others?" The third prince frowned slightly, and his expression was very displeased: "The trial is a matter for your Governor's Mansion, and what this king wants is only evidence and results." ”
After saying this, he got up from his chair and yawned and left: "Whether it is murder or absconding in fear of crime, you have to give this king an explanation." The case in Liang County cannot be delayed, and you still have three days to investigate the case. ”
When the words landed, the third prince was about to walk out of the prison door.
Star fruit was startled and pulled her throat to shout, but Qiao An pulled her sleeve first and shook her head solemnly.
When the figure of the third prince could no longer be seen, the frightened An Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up tremblingly.
"Come on, interrogate overnight, be sure to find out what happened tonight."
Do you still need to check your own tricks?
Although he knows the truth better than anyone else, the play still has to be done. Who let himself fail to achieve his goal and alarmed the three princes?
He really wanted to try out the result of absconding in fear of crime, but at this point, there was absolutely no way to convince the third prince without enough evidence.
At this point, he was so angry that he vomited blood, and he could only admit it.
Before I could figure out how to explain the turmoil at night, something big happened in the house.
An Zhiyuan bled and fainted to death in the Furong tent, and the doctor finally woke him up, but who knew that he was delirious and talking crazy.
The first crazy thing he said was to pull the corner of the third prince's clothes, and complain with a handful of tears and snot: "My father is not a human being, and for the sake of his official hat, he doesn't even care about my own son." I can't do anything, I can't cure anyone except star fruit. But he was afraid of affecting his official reputation, so he insisted on killing people. ”
The third prince frowned slightly: "Affect the official reputation, kill people and kill people?" Has the Governor of An done anything that is clear to heaven and intolerable to law? ”
Before An Zhiyuan could answer, An Zhifu hurried over and kowtowed to the third prince: "The dog has lost his heart and gone crazy, offended His Royal Highness, and asked His Highness to send a whereabout." ”
"Crazy!"
These three words circled twice between the lips and teeth of the third prince, and then smiled slightly, waved his hand to let him leave: "Take care of your son, and also take care of your official hat." ”
Without waiting for An Zhifu to breathe a sigh of relief, he got the creepy news: "The people of the third prince are secretly investigating Cuixiang's origin and background, and it seems that they already have eyebrows. ”
Before An Zhifu could digest the news, the person came and said: "The third prince imprisoned everyone related to Miss Zhou's poisoning, and even the utensils she used that day and the food she ate were passed over to check one by one.
Last night, there were carrier pigeons flying out of the courtyard of the Three Princes, and the direction was to send a message to the capital. ”
The three princes inspected Shuzhou according to the order of the Son of Heaven, and generally used fast horses to go to the post station when there were major events. Flying pigeon biography, what kind of doorway is this?
An Zhifu frowned, he had a strong premonition, a premonition that he had fallen into an invisible net, and he would die!
"I can't stay!"
He was murderous to star fruit and Joan again, and this time his determination was unusually resolute.
But the third prince is secretly investigating, and he can't help Qiao An and star fruit recently. If he really dared to be so peaceful, he didn't need the third prince to do it himself, and the servants of the ministry would not spare her first.
If you can't justify it, then continue to use the tricky method.
After last night's incident, Joan and Carambola were forced to change cells. In full view, the items hidden in the cracks of the wall cannot be taken away.
Carambola looked at Qiao An's injuries and couldn't help feeling distressed: "There was a fierce battle last night, where is there a good piece of meat on your body?" Now that I don't even have medicine, what can I do if my injuries worsen? ”
Qiao An reached out and rubbed her bangs, and said with a gentle smile: "I'm in good health, this little injury can't hurt me." ”
Without medicine, what can you do if you don't get hurt?
Carambola let out a long sigh, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "The third prince came over last night, why didn't you let me speak?" In such a scene at that time, the three princes could understand the truth in the first trial. To see the true face of the Governor's Mansion clearly, that is the best opportunity. ”
"We can all see things clearly, how can the third prince not understand them?"
Joan leaned against the wall weakly, he held the hand of the star fruit tightly, and there was excitement in his eyes: "Simple possession is only a little wisdom, and temporary abandonment is great wisdom." The third prince is not in a hurry to win a small victory, it only shows that he has a bigger plan. ”
Carambola stared at Qiao An with wide eyes, and there was a bright ignorance in her eyes.
"Perhaps, our hard days will soon come to an end." Joan looked around, but finally couldn't solve her guess. He only smiled mysteriously at the star fruit, patted her hand comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "In the middle of the night, the third prince can rush to the cell at the most critical time, what does this mean?" ”
Yes, in the middle of the night, it is the time for good dreams, how can the pampered three princes rush over just right, and then save their lives and those two servants?
"He's been keeping an eye on the situation in prison, maybe ......"
Carambola looked around, looking for the eyes and ears she imagined the Three Princes had sent.
Qiao An nodded at her, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: "Master is really right, the third prince is a trustworthy person." ”
Carambola was a little angry: "Since we are not mediocre, nor are we protected by officials, why should we suffer such a big crime?" If there is a case, directly investigate the case, and directly convict the guilty, this is what a gentleman does. ”
"Dealing with villains, a gentleman's style is useless." Qiao An looked at the eyes of the star fruit seriously, and asked seriously: "The third prince is now verifying, what crime can the prefect be charged?"
Cuixiang was killed by Zhou Xueruo, and the charges of spies in the Western Regions are still only being tried. Even if it was a trick last night, it could not be proved to be the handiwork of An Zhifu.
spent a lot of effort to investigate, in addition to being able to startle the snake, it was only to punish him for a crime of lax supervision. This crime, at most, is a beating board, what's the use? ”
Carambola is not stupid, Qiao An dialed her a little less and understood: "The third prince has always known the truth, he is just waiting for the prefect of An to make a mistake?" ”
"Perhaps, he is about to take the initiative."
Carambola's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was faintly excited: "Perhaps, we can still help the third prince inside." ”
Yes, they can indeed help the Three Princes in prison, but only if they can save their lives!
