Chapter 698: Servant
The envelope was torn open, and Dingguo Gong's entourage opened his throat and said, "Does Your Highness really want to provoke the Tatars for a little curiosity of your own?" Tatar, for his part, has always valued our wife's letters the most. ”
Rong Heng moved his eyelids and looked at him slowly.
"Yes."
Retinue......
A letter was taken out of the envelope, and Rong Heng glanced at it quickly.
It is not the handwriting of Dingguo Gong.
It is indeed a letter from home.
However, is an ordinary letter from home sent overnight in the middle of the night?
I still use this kind of envelope that is not afraid of fire or flooding.
Place the letter on the tip of your nose and sniff gently.
Because of morning sickness, Rong Heng's recent sense of smell is particularly sensitive.
Slightly acidic?
His eyebrows moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, Rong Heng turned his head and instructed Changqing, who had just come back, "Go get the candle." ”
Changqing answered the order and went immediately.
A burning red candle was held steadily in front of Rong Heng, "Your Highness." ”
Rong Heng took the letter paper and carefully roasted it on the candle.
The clear handwriting immediately appeared.
The handwriting of Ding Guogong.
Sweeping the lines at a glance, Rong Heng Tieqing's face was as dark as iron, "Enter the palace." ”
With a dumb command, he put the letter back into the envelope, put it away carefully, and walked out with his feet up.
strode meteor and commanded, "Take him and enter the palace together!" ”
Changqing hurriedly agreed, stepped forward and put down Dingguogong's entourage from the tree, clicked the acupoint, gagged his mouth, and resisted his shoulder like a dead pig, following behind Rong Heng.
While there was still some time before dawn, he had to hurry.
Otherwise, when the day dawns, a new wave of morning sickness will come.
Rong Heng walked fast.
At this time, there was also the book of the Criminal Department.
He didn't care if the emperor was still sleeping, he had to rush to the palace and see the emperor before the emperor went to court.
In the dark night before dawn, the dark tide surges.
The Imperial Study.
Brightly lit.
The emperor has not rested.
Father-in-law Fu had just taken away the supper that the emperor had eaten, and looked at the emperor with a distressed face, "Your Majesty, sleep for a while." ”
The emperor shook his head.
"The Top Soldier Contest was held in Black Fox Ridge in Shangcheng this year, I am not down-to-earth in my heart, I always feel that something is going to happen!"
This evening, the Organizing Committee of the Top Soldier Competition sent a notice.
After the deliberation of the organizing committee, the principle of minority obeying the majority, this year's top soldier competition was held in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Originally, it was held in turn by various countries, but it was nothing.
The holding base of the Great Xia Dynasty has been built a long time ago, and it is in the Black Fox Ridge.
Can this year ......
In an eventful season, the emperor always felt that this seemed like a conspiracy.
In previous years, before the Top Soldier Competition, the organizing committees set up by various countries were sent to meet at the level of generals, but this year is an exception.
Other countries have always demanded that civilian organizations and military generals participate in the competition.
"If I had another capable daughter-in-law, I wouldn't have such worries, but in fact, Rong Rui rebelled, and the 100,000 garrisons in western Beijing were destroyed, which was nothing but nothing, if something happened to Su Qing, the Pingyang army would be scattered, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"
The emperor couldn't sleep all night.
Father-in-law Fu was on the side to consol.
"Your Majesty, holding it here in our country is better than the Ninth Princess's exhaustion and going to another country, what, it's also familiar, what is there, let's be prepared."
The emperor shook his head again.
"What I'm worried about is their true purpose."
In the Top Soldier Competition, each country must send at least 50 people, not counting the entourage and subordinates who came with them.
Once at least three kingdoms joined forces to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty, they would be able to gather a force of four or five hundred people.
If these four or five hundred people are carefully selected.
The emperor clenched his fists, and his chest was very tight.
I really want to retire.
I don't want to think about this at all!
The emperor was worried, and the attendant outside reported, "Your Majesty, the secretary of the criminal department is at the gate of the palace, saying that there is something important to return." ”
Emperor......
The corner of his eyes twitched, and he looked at Father-in-law Fu, "What time is it?" ”
Fu Gonggong ......
"There is still an hour before the early dynasty."
Emperor......
If you don't go to the early court, the palace door won't open, and the criminal department will come to do something at this time!
The heart couldn't help shrinking, and the emperor immediately said: "Let him in!" ”
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is no better than the old lady who died in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and it must be an emergency to come at night.
The emperor's words fell, and the little chamberlain at the door immediately pulled out his feet and ran out.
However, after a while, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department panted and entered the imperial study.
"Minister, knock on Your Majesty, disturb Your Majesty's sleep, and the minister deserves death."
The emperor waved his hand, "Get up and speak, what's the matter?" ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department pursed his lips, and his face was unspeakable.
Emperor......
You've been here, it's hard to tell what the hell!
"Say!"
"The Criminal Department is a fool, I think the death of the second lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion is too strange, he has never thought that the second lady will commit suicide because of the sudden death of the old lady, after all, when the Zhenguo Gong and his wife had an accident, she survived, tonight, he really couldn't let go of it, so he went to dig Zhaohui's grave."
Emperor......
What kind of immortal work is this raised by your criminal department!
Conscientious to this point!
The criminal department Shangshu paused for a moment and continued: "He dug people out of the grave, the grave was too dark to perform an autopsy, and he felt that it was a bit unlucky to pull him back to his own home, so he pulled the person to the minister's house. ”
Emperor.......
Fu Gonggong .......
Suddenly, a little, want to laugh!
The ..... of the Criminal Department
"Under the meticulous post-mortem examination, we found an extremely tiny needle hole in the back of Zhaohui's head, which should be Zhaohui's fatal injury."
The emperor's expression suddenly became serious.
"That is, she was killed?"
Shangshu of the Criminal Department nodded, "At that time, Zhaohui was arrested, and we were arrested together with one of her personal servants, after Zhaohui died, after the servant girl was interrogated without hindrance, she was released, and now it seems that that the servant girl should be the real murderer who killed Zhaohui." ”
Emperor......
Killing Zhaohui is nothing more than extinguishing the mouth.
Shouldn't it be to create an image of a good daughter-in-law who loves her mother-in-law to the people!?
Extinguishing ......
What can Zhaohui know, he will be killed!
"Judging from the current clues, Zhaohui's extermination and Xu's mother being exterminated at that time should be the same thing from the root cause, and if you find the murderer of Xu's mother, you can know why Zhaohui was killed."
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department presented his analysis to the emperor.
The emperor bowed slightly, but his mind was full of thoughts.
Under the slightly narrowed eyes, there is an undercurrent.
After being silent for a while, the emperor Shangshu said: "Tomorrow, is it the day of the mourning of the old lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion?" ”
The topic opened suddenly, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes." ”
The emperor said: "You go to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion now, and let the old lady have a good examination." ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department was suddenly shocked, looked at the emperor, and his eyes trembled.
"Your Majesty means ......"
The emperor nodded, "Go ahead, try to check it out before dawn!" ”
"Yes!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department had a serious face and clenched his fists to receive his life.
Heart, beating suddenly.
The emperor paused, and added: "For a work like this, there will be more tricks in the future, this time, a hundred taels of silver!" ”
