The guards of the search courtyard have returned.

Behind the leader, there was also a beautiful concubine detained.

The face is enchanting, the posture is graceful, and the neat bun on weekdays is scattered into a lock of hair at the moment, which looks very embarrassing.

"Qiaoyan!"

The man shouted.

But the beautiful concubine didn't look at him.

The guard walked up to the case officer and presented a short sword.

The short sword was about four inches long, and its blade was extremely sharp, and it was stained with blood, but it had already solidified.

"Your Excellency, please see."

"When the little one searched the courtyard, he saw that the woman was sneaky and seemed to be throwing something, so he quietly followed her and found this."

Dali Temple took it.

Several officials who handled the case took turns to inspect it, and then handed it over to the servants.

He held it in his hand and nodded his head again and again.

"If you go back to your lordship, this thing ...... It was the murder weapon that killed the grandfather of the country. ”

As soon as the words fell, Dali Temple started shooting!

"Bold sinner!"

"What crime should you be guilty of daring to assassinate a noble courtier?!"

Seeing this scene, Qiao Yan's figure trembled, her eyes trembled twice, and she knelt down with a "bang".

"Your Excellency has wronged! The slave didn't kill anyone......"

"Dare to quibble?!"

Listening to the scolding from above, Qiaoyan cried with pear blossoms and rain.

"The slave and the maid really didn't kill anyone, the slave and the maid didn't have the strength, and they didn't have the courage, besides, the grandfather of the country has always been kind, how can I, how can I do that ugly thing that has lost my conscience?"

"Then why did you hide the murder weapon?"

Hearing the question, she squinted her eyes and glanced hesitantly in the direction of the man.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes.

The people in the church were angry again!

"Don't say it yet? Torture! ”

At the sound of the order, a guard really came up.

The woman's shoulders shook, and she pulled her face and cried:

"This dagger ...... This short sword was given by the slave's husband! ”

She lifted her sleeve to wipe her face, and gradually suppressed her tears.

"At the fourth watch last night, the slave and maid were sleeping on the bed, and when they saw the husband coming back in a hurry, covered in blood, and still holding this broken sword in his hand, the slave and maid were very scared......"

As she spoke, her face suddenly became very frightened.

The eyes looked at the man.

The husband threatened the slave and maid not to tell the matter, otherwise he would kill the slave and maid...... Extinguish! ”

"Early this morning, when I heard that Grandpa Guo had an accident, the slave and maid woke up."

Speaking of this, Qiaoyan cried bitterly.

"Your Excellency!"

"Grandpa Guo has always treated slaves and maids well, and the slaves and maids wanted to provide evidence, but they were very scared, and they were in a hurry, so they ...... That's why I want to hide ......."

"My lord! The slave is really wronged! ”

With a few rings of "dong dong dong", blood has oozed from the woman's forehead.

That voice was truly pitiful.

"The slave maid was originally a girl from a good family, but because she was abducted and sold by human traffickers, she arrived in Chen's mansion, but she didn't think about ......it."

Her tone was suddenly sad and indignant.

A small snow-white face, suddenly red and red, and his teeth clucked.

"I didn't think about the ...... of these two sons"

"Actually...... It's a beast! ”

"Lady thief, what did you say?!"

Hearing the man's echo, Qiao Yan suddenly shook his head, "Hula" got up, and hit the man straight......

"I'll fight with you!"

Man dodge.

"Boom!"

In the hall, a dull echo was heard.

The woman hit the vermilion lacquer cylinder, and her body, which was still alive, was like mud at this moment, slowly sliding down the vermilion lacquer of the pillar.

The pungent smell of blood filled the hall.

"Someone!"

Several officials handling the case were horrified.

The guard hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his fingertips, and probed under the woman's nose.

"My lord, there is still gas."

"Quick, go get two handfuls of incense ashes, cover her with blood, and call Lang Zhong to come!"

Dali Temple stood up with a bang.

"The order will go down, the corpse will be carried away, all the witnesses will be detained, and they will be taken care of, and nothing can go wrong!"

The eyes suddenly looked at the man.

"Second Master Chen, since the certified physical evidence is there, then bother you, let's take a trip? Take! ”

The man's legs went limp.

The small eyes suddenly widened, and endless panic flashed.

"I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! ”

"It's the thief mother-in-law, it's that little slut who wronged me, I didn't kill anyone......"

The guards let him say something, and they lifted him up straight and dragged him away like a wild dog.

Silence returned to the courtyard.

Inside the Four Kings' Mansion.

The news of Chen Guogong's accident has just arrived.

The moment she heard the news, the princess was immediately shocked, took a few steps back, and sat down on the princess's chair, crying mournfully.

Opposite her, sat Shizi.

He lowered his eyelids, his eyes were red, and Concubine Xiang's bamboo fan shook his hand, pinching his bones so white that he couldn't speak for a long time.

The princess raised her head and looked at the prince with a blank look.

"What do Dali Temple and the Criminal Department say?"

Shizi's lips were pursed into a line.

He was very depressed.

Very little depression.

"Someone sued on the spot, saying that Chen Erye killed his grandfather, and the murder weapon was present, and the human and material evidence was ......"

The princess's eyes were hateful, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"I knew that...... This scourge! ”

"Don't talk about bullying men and women all day long, for so many years, I haven't done a good thing in the Guogong Mansion! The dog that lost the wolf of the sky did such a ......"

"God......

"What kind of face do I have to go to see my sister!"

The thought of that pale face made her heart ache even more.

"Mother!"

Seeing the person in front of him falling, the prince of the world swept by and supported her with both hands.

"Someone."

"Take Madame to rest!"

"No!" The princess made up her mind, swallowed a breath, and said hatefully, "I want to go to the criminal department in person, and I want to ask this beast in person!" ”

The scene from last night still comes to mind.

Tears also fell from the eyes of the prince.

He turned his head to look at the maidservant and sighed deeply: "All go down, and you are not allowed to come in without orders." ”

"Yes."

In the huge room, sandalwood curled up, and only faint mourning and low sobbing were left.

The princess blamed herself and beat her chest again and again.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault...... He came late last night, and I guessed that something was going on, but I didn't know anything about it...... It's all my fault! ”

"If I ......"

"Mother!"

Shizi stared at her with red eyes and drank her lowly.

"Do you really think that idiot did it?"

With just this sentence, the princess Huo Ran raised her head.

In those beautiful eyes, Huo Ran was shocked!

"Jing'er, you mean?!"

"Mother, do you want to ......"

Suddenly, his voice became hoarse.

"That fool loves money and does all kinds of evil, and it is true, but with his guts, he doesn't dare to kill such a thing."

"Besides, today's officials of the three divisions are investigating the case, how can it be so coincidental?"

"Human evidence, physical evidence?"

Shizi furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes were heavy, his teeth bit his lower lip, and a wisp of blood oozed out, but he didn't realize it.

"All of this seems to be too coincidental!"

"I handed over the hidden guard order last night, and today I was brutally murdered, and the key to this makes people have to think about it......"

He let out a long sigh.

"Hidden Guard Order?"

"Power?"

"Hehe......"

Thinking of this, he let out a desolate sneer.

The princess was stunned when she heard it, every time Shi Zijing said a word, her heart was cold an inch, and when the person in front of her finished speaking, she couldn't move.

The man's voice rang out in the room again.

"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me."

"What's more, my brother and grandfather are still our benefactors!"

"Jing'er! Mingxuan ......"

Her eyes widened, and she looked at the person in front of her in a daze, and in her tone, solemn and solemn, vigilant and vigilant.

"That...... Don't talk nonsense! ”

"During today's autopsy, I was mixed in the crowd and secretly went to see it, and the style of Dali Temple this time was very different from usual, and it seemed to be a little hasty......"

……

There was silence in the room.

For a long time, no one spoke again.

The princess grabbed the armrest of the Taishi chair and clenched her hands tightly, as if she was about to fall down at any time.

"That Mingxuan, what are you going to do?"

The red eyes flashed.

Two hot tears slipped from their eyes again.

"Find out who is killed."

"Then, kill him!"

"Mingxuan ......"

The princess rose to her feet suddenly, her bright eyes were full of shock and horror, and her lips kept shaking.

"You...... Seriously? ”

Those eyes turned to be very serious. He stared at his mother, straight into her heart.

"My brother treats me like a mountain."

"The Guogong Mansion is also very good."

There was silence again.

Death-like silence.

The sandalwood is curling, the tea is cold, even though she is in the warm pavilion, she feels that she is counting nine cold days.

There was a gust of wind outside the door.

At the corner of the door, the jade bell on the vermilion curtain jingled.

"There you go."

Her voice was unusually dull, with fierce determination.

"If one day, one of us must die......"

Those eyes looked at Shizi in a daze.

"Hopefully that's me."
