After the emperor's words, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew it in his heart.

Leaving the imperial study, the wind is under the feet.

As soon as he left, in the imperial study, the topic of the emperor returned to Dingguo Gong again.

"Dingguo Gong is also unlucky, first he was beaten, then he was smashed in the ancestral hall, and now, he is unconscious, you say, is this God helping me!"

Originally, when a major earthquake occurred in northern Xiangbei, the emperor was most worried about disaster relief, and someone used natural disasters to cause man-made disasters.

Now, Zhen Guogong is not there.

The ones who can make moves are King Qi and Duke Dingguo.

As soon as the Duke of Dingguo fell, he only needed to beware of King Qi.

After all, whether Dingguo Gong can open his eyes and see the sun is a question.

Fu Gonggong was on the side, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is Mingjun, God naturally sees it in his eyes, this is reluctant to let His Majesty work too hard, Your Majesty is not as good as drinking a bowl of pigeon soup?" ”

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Father-in-law Fu.

"Coax me to drink soup, you are really getting more and more casual, and you can use anything as an excuse."

Gonggong Fu lowered his head and smiled, "It's the soup that Concubine Hui has stewed for a long time, and she has already ordered someone to send it, Your Majesty has been in a bad mood, and the old slave doesn't dare to mention it, now, seeing that Your Majesty is in a better mood, the old slave is worried about Your Majesty's body, so she naturally mentions it." ”

The emperor laughed, "Bring the soup up, when it comes to Concubine Hui, I really haven't seen her for a while." ”

As he spoke, Fu Gonggong served the pigeon soup.

The emperor took a sip and said, "Early tomorrow morning, the things of the sacrifice to the heavens are all ready?" ”

Gonggong Fu said: "The people from the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Qin Tianjian are already on the side of the Temple of Heaven, and they will definitely be able to arrange it properly, as for the honor guard in the palace, Your Majesty can rest assured, everything is in order, just waiting for tomorrow's departure." ”

The emperor drank a bowl of pigeon soup.

put down the bowl, was silent for a moment, and said: "When I went out of the palace this time, King Qi's side inevitably felt that the defense in the palace was weakened, so I made some moves, and arranged a few more people in the queen's bedroom." ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it."

Father-in-law Fu answered the order and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, the emperor got up and walked around the table.

The weather has cooled.

Fathers and fathers bless, don't make a plague.

Once there is a plague, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

The country is shaky, and the poor ones are the common people.

The emperor stared at the sky outside.

The secretary of the criminal department has returned to the government.

It just so happened that the autopsy was completed, and the deputy also came back from the suburbs of Beijing after another investigation.

The three of them get together.

He was the first to speak, "My lord, judging from the wounds of the deceased, the fatal wound is the knife wound in the chest, which kills with one knife, the murder weapon should be a short dagger, and the murderer stabbed three times in a row, except for this, there is no wound on Xu's mother." ”

The short dagger was inserted three times in a row, but Xu's mother had no trace of struggling and resisting.

After thinking about it, Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the deputy, "An acquaintance committed the crime." ”

The deputy nodded.

"The subordinates did not find any trace at the scene of the crime, but the strange thing is that there were not even the footprints of Xu's mother, and Xu's mother appeared there as if she appeared out of thin air."

"You mean, is that the first scene of the crime?" The Criminal Department is still the same.

The deputy immediately shook his head, "This, my subordinates have already investigated, and there should be the scene of the first crime." ”

He followed: "On Mother Xu's body, there was no trace of the body being moved, she was injured in the chest, and there was a lot of blood at that time, and those blood stains fell on the ground in the woods on the outskirts of Beijing, in terms of blood volume, it was the first crime scene." ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "In this way, the murderer deliberately erased the mark at that time. ”

When the words fell, Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Suddenly, the deputy thought of one thing, "My lord, what has been erased should be the car print of the carriage, the carriage of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, because of the previous identity of the county lord of Chaohui, she had specially asked for the grace of the Queen Mother, the carriage is wider than other mansions, and the wheels are not the wheels on the market, but the royal palace use." ”

As soon as these words were mentioned, Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately reacted.

Originally, the Queen Mother was still in good health, and Concubine De also had an unrivaled status in the palace.

One year, on the birthday of the county lord of Chaohui, the queen mother wanted to give her a chariot in the palace to show her favor, but was rejected by the emperor.

The Queen Mother gave her the royal wheel instead.

At that time, it was boiling to wear in Kyoto.

The county lord of Zhaohui and the Zhenguo Mansion are glorious.

Thinking of this, and then thinking of the fate of Zhen Guogong later, Shangshu of the Criminal Department couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

With a flash of thought, his thoughts returned to the case, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department said: "The wheel traces have been erased, there is no evidence, and there is no clue, but if there are wheel traces, there should be a coachman, only the body of Xu's mother was found at the scene, and the coachman was either alive or thrown elsewhere, so check it out." ”

The deputy was given the order and left immediately.

Get busy, time flies.

It wasn't until twilight that Shangshu of the Criminal Department had dinner, and suddenly received a reply from his subordinates, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Ninth sent someone to send a message to see you." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not dare to delay, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and left.

After a day of morning sickness, the sun set, and Rong Heng finally stopped.

After dinner, I had a lot of energy.

Bypassing the rockery and clear water, when the Shangshu of the Criminal Department arrived at Rong Heng's study, Rong Heng was standing behind the table with his back to him, looking up at a painting on the wall.

A landscape painting is not a masterpiece.

Painted ......

It's a bit ugly, to be honest.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department coughed, "Your Highness." ”

Rong Heng heard the voice and turned his head, "Here, sit down." ”

Pointing to a chair to one side, he sat down with it.

Rong Heng sat down, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department sat down as ordered.

Straight to the point, Rong Heng said: "Mother Xu's case, how is the investigation?" ”

The criminal department Shangshu reviewed the progress and discovery of the case one by one.

"Arrest Zhaohui."

After the words of the Criminal Department Shangshu fell, Rong Heng sat there with a breezy face, and said in a more breezy tone.

The criminal department Shangshu was shocked. "Huh?"

looked at Rong Heng in astonishment.

Rong Heng said: "Mother Xu was killed, but the murderer killed him, since you have already suspected it, arresting Zhaohui is also a normal law enforcement, after all, she is also one of the suspects." ”

Fiddling with the fan in his hand, Rong Heng lowered his eyelids and said.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department hesitated for a moment and said, "Although she is not the county lord now, she is the niece of the Queen Mother." ”

Rong Heng said softly: "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the niece of the queen mother has no privileges, so arrest it." ”

The ...... of the Criminal Department

The fox looked at Rong Heng suspiciously for a moment, and then the Shangshu of the Criminal Department smiled quite boldly: "Your Highness called the minister, I'm afraid it's not just for the minister to arrest people." ”

Rong Heng smiled and said: "A few days ago, Su Yun was going to take Zhaohui off, and everyone was kicked out, but Zhaohui killed him again, and after he came back, his status in the mansion was still the same, Su Yun treated her very respectfully, don't you think it's strange?" ”

The criminal department was stunned.

Su Yun's personality, he also knows a little.

It's very snobbish.

He has also heard about the resignation of Zhaohui,

I thought it was strange at the time.

The fox looked at Rong Heng suspiciously, "Your Highness means ......"

"I'm curious about why Zhaohui can regain Su Yun's respect, you can ask me."

The ...... of the Criminal Department

If it weren't true, Xu's mother bought the gangsters to lure Fuyun, and Xu's mother was killed again.

Listening to His Highness the Nine's words, he had to suspect that this was the game that His Highness Nine had done himself.
