Chapter Ninety-Five: The East Window Incident (11th Update)
Monaro knew that Yu Wentai personally went to the princess's mansion to find evidence and investigate the reason for the truth, and he felt a little funny in his heart. But if he hadn't gone, it would have been impossible for him to win this case just by relying on the Dali Temple and the monks.
"Princess Gaoping is the beloved daughter of the Supreme, and she has always been domineering. I'm afraid of this case...... The Supreme is trying to suppress it in every possible way. β
Yuwentai was silent.
He was right, the Supreme would definitely do everything possible to suppress this matter. Not only because Princess Gaoping is the pearl of his palm, but also because the killing of the palace maid also involves the face of the royal family.
Not to mention that Dali Temple doesn't dare to investigate any further now, even if the human and material evidence is all in front of the Supreme, he will definitely try to cover up this matter. With just one sentence, Dali Temple can no longer be investigated, and even have to carry a black pot that slanders the princess, which will be a loss of official status or a loss of life.
Li Xisong, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Chang Fu, Shaoqing, were both cultivated by him, and they were honest and honest officials. He really didn't want to sacrifice these two people in vain.
He silently thought, if Ah Ying was here, what would she do?
After a while, he made up his mind and said, "Qingshan, immediately let Zhao Du and Li Xisong and Chang Fu come to see me." In addition, send a few faces to keep an eye on the movements of the princess's mansion, and if necessary, take action immediately, and seize the opportunity. β
It was the second watch of the night, and the door of the princess's mansion was suddenly opened with a bang. A girl with a disheveled hair rushed out and cried out loudly on the long street: "Helpββ! Helpββ!! β
He didn't run far, but five or six strong men chased after him, and chased after the girl.
The girl ran while crying, shouting for help all the way. The crying woke up the dogs in the yards along the way, and the barking of the dogs was continuous. Soon someone heard the sound and opened the door to check the movement.
Seeing that those strong men were about to catch up with the girl, a team of city defense troops came in front of them, and when they saw this posture, they shouted: "Who committed murder in the middle of the night?!" Take!! β
A group of city defenders quickly rushed towards the strong men.
When a few people saw that something was wrong, they turned their heads to flee, but a team of city defense troops also came out behind them and surrounded several people.
When the girl saw the city guards, she rushed over and clung to one of the soldiers, crying, "Please, save me!" Gao Ping Gong is going to kill me!! After saying that, I don't know if it was because I was too excited or because I was injured, I fell to the ground and fainted.
In the princess's mansion over there, the housekeeper hurriedly ran to report: "Princess, it's not good, I didn't catch up with Qinmeng's little maid, and I bumped into the city defense army!" Qin Meng has fallen into the hands of the city defense army! β
Yongxing was already in turmoil. I don't know which way the gods collided tonight. Because of the day's events, she ordered someone to beat Naqin Meng badly, and then wanted to put her in a sack and throw her into the river to drown, but who knew that those hairy house slaves suddenly fell to the ground one by one as if they had been hit by hidden weapons. What's even worse is that the door in the house didn't know when it opened, so Qin Meng seized the opportunity to escape all the way.
Now that she heard that Qin Meng was rescued by the city defense army, she was shocked. Is this still worth it? I have to hurry into the palace to ask my father for protection. No matter what, she cried twice in front of her father, and her father never gave in.
"Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace!" Thinking of this, Yongxing immediately raised his feet and walked out.
"But princess, the Supreme went to Hualin Yuan yesterday to hunt, and it won't be back until a few days later!" The butler's yellow door staggered after him.
"I can't care so much, go back to the palace first!" hid back in the palace, who else dared to go to the palace to get her?
When the coachman had brought the carriage to her, the princess was about to get into it in a hurry, when suddenly there was a sound of tense and orderly footsteps, and a group of soldiers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her carriage. She was so angry that she was about to attack, when a voice came out of the way: "In the middle of the night, where is Princess Gaoping going?" β
The princess looked sideways, and it was a polite young general in military uniform, with about a hundred sergeants behind him, and looking at the costume, they all looked like city defense troops.
As he spoke, more than a hundred sergeants had surrounded the princess's mansion.
Yongxing had never seen Li Hao, so he was naturally arrogant: "Who are you?" When does this princess want to go where she wants, is it your turn to take care of it? Get out of the way! β
Zhao Du strode forward, bowed his hand, and said politely: "This is the reason." But just now, the last general's man rescued a wounded woman in front, and also caught a few gangsters who were about to commit murder. The woman was scarred, and kept saying that Gao Pinggong was going to kill her. The patrol of Chang'an City is within the responsibility of the last general, so the last general came to take a look. - By the way, the last general Zhao Du, the new general of Wuwei. β
Yongxing panicked and became angry: "Presumptuous! How noble is this princess, how could she kill a little palace maid? β
Zhao Du smiled: "The last general didn't say that the injured woman was a palace maid, how did the princess know?" β
Yongxing was stunned for a moment, and he was even more panicked when he was caught, so he had to play tricks: "Hurry up and get out of the way!" This prince wants to enter the palace to see his father! When Princess Ben sees her father, she will definitely send all of you bold and crazy people to prison! β
Zhao Dujiang's face sank: "The last general said, the patrol of Chang'an City is the responsibility of the last general, and now there are murderers who have been captured by the city defense army, and the bitter lord has told the princess for the first time, and the last general can only temporarily surround the princess's mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" The next thing has to wait for Dali Temple to take over. Presumably she will not have wronged Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
"You!" Yongsung's face turned white with anger. Seeing that he couldn't leave, he could only turn his heart sideways, turn his head and go back.
Before dawn, Li Xisong, the secretary of Dali Temple, came to the princess's mansion and got straight to the point: "Two hours ago, the city defense army sent several murderers and an injured girl to Dali Temple, saying that the girl first accused the princess of instigating murder. The official knew that the matter was important and related to the reputation of the royal family and the princess, so he interrogated several murderers overnight. β
Yongxing sat on the couch and still stood up, and when he heard him say this, his heart was beating in a panic: "This is obviously the princess of Panben!" They...... What do they say? β
Li Xisong said: "Those murderers have all confessed to being the princess's house slaves, and they were indeed instructed by the princess to kill the maid Qin Meng. Therefore, the official specially came in person and asked the princess to go to Dali Temple to assist in investigating the case. β
"You're bold!" Yongxing slapped the couch and scolded, "You are a little Dali Siqing, what qualifications do you have to say the word 'assist investigation' to this princess?!" β
Li Xisong held his head high and was neither arrogant nor humble: "This official was favored by the Son of Heaven and entrusted with the post of Dali Temple, which is in charge of the affairs of the prison and punishes the violent. There is a crime in the "Ten Articles" of the new law of this dynasty, even if it is a noble, if it is involved in this crime, it is necessary to go to Dali Temple to assist in investigation. This official does things, holding the official seal given by the Son of Heaven, and relying on the law of Zhaozhao of the Great Wei, is this not enough to be qualified to invite the princess to go to Dali Temple? β
With a wave of his hand, a team of sergeants from Dali Temple surrounded the princess.
