Chapter 548: In the Back Yellow Sparrow
The prince's mansion said that he was in the other courtyard, but the princess of the other courtyard said that he had returned to the prince's mansion, and it was obvious that one of them had a problem.
Zhu Changzhe was suddenly excited.
Originally, I was just trying to track it down, but there was not much hope. But once the opening of the clue is torn open, the cocoon is peeled off, as long as it follows the thread, it seems to be clear all at once......
The prince's courtyard was in the southern suburbs outside the city, and Zhu Changzhe took the officers and soldiers to the south gate to look for entry and exit records.
Show: Indeed, early yesterday morning, a group of about 30 people from the Prince's Mansion escorted the princess out of the city, and then the group returned to the city around noon......
As for whether the pedestrian returned to the prince's mansion after entering the city, or stayed in the city, the officers and soldiers at the city gate do not know.
The crown princess didn't lie, so it was the prince's mansion who lied?
But the officers and soldiers of the city gate also revealed another thing:
In the middle of the night last night, when he was about to touch the ugly, Cao Dingbao, a staff member of the Prince's Mansion, took the warrant of the Prince's Mansion and went to the suburbs again with more than 30 guards, saying that the Crown Princess had abdominal pain and that they were going to welcome people back to the city.
When it came to the emperor's heir, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to slack off, and quickly released them after checking the token......
The officers and soldiers at the city gate were still surprised, why did the group of people go out of the city to pick up people, but they haven't returned yet? They thought that the crown princess was safe again......
When it's ugly in the middle of the night? More than 30 guards of the Prince's Mansion went out of the city? Haven't come back yet?
Zhu Changzhe and others are all eye-catching.
Could that group of people be the killers in black last night?
Zhu Changzhe personally went to the south gate to check the records of leaving the city, and personally confirmed the statements of the officers and soldiers of the two city gates on the day shift and the night shift. It seems like everything is falling out of place.
After confirming that everything was true, he sent someone to the crown princess for questioning, and the other side said: The crown princess is fine, in good health, and the fetus is fine. There has never been abdominal pain, and no guards from the Prince's Mansion have come in the middle of the night......
went to the Prince's Mansion to look for Cao Dingbao again, and sure enough, I found that I didn't see this person! The prince's mansion said that Cao Dingbao went out yesterday afternoon and has not returned to this ......
After finding people who were good friends with Cao Dingbao in the past, I didn't know one by one.
Ha, a prince's staff, with more than 30 guards, disappeared? Ghosts!
Who's lying? Who's playing tricks?
The troubleshooting begins.
The suburbs of Beijing, especially near the South City Gate, began a meticulous search.
Soon, some people came out to testify, saying that last night in the middle of the night did see about 30 people beating horses passing by, because it was the middle of the night, so the movement was not small. Because of the disturbance of dreams, the children were scared and cried, so they remember it clearly.
Others saw that the pedestrian was heading in the direction of the dense forest to the south.
Officers and soldiers continued to track.
There are shoe prints in the dense forest, and it is also confirmed that they are unique to the soles of the boots of the Prince's Mansion.
In the southern forest, they quickly found a pile of black ash from incineration.
After picking at the ashes, they found a lot of unburned clothes.
The costumes are exquisite, and after comparing the colors, textures, stitches and textures, it is confirmed that it is the unified configuration of the Prince's Mansion. And in a pit not far away, the officers and soldiers also found the buried sword of the Prince's Mansion......
In this way, it can be completely confirmed that the more than 30 people who could not be found in the Prince's Mansion did not disappear, but ran away.
If you are doing something normal, why leave in the middle of the night? If there is no sneak, how can you lie to the emperor's heir? If you don't see people, why do you have to destroy your clothes? If it weren't for the burning eyebrows, how could they run away?
The officers and soldiers believed that they must have reacted quickly last night and united in pursuit, and the men in black were forced to flee, and finally for the sake of safety, they could only go out of the city to avoid the limelight.
The princess's foetus was a cover from the beginning, just to facilitate their entry and exit from the city gate......
can make the entire prince's mansion keep silent, asking three questions and not knowing, such a unified voice, there must be something big happening. can make the pregnant princess a pawn, then the mastermind? ……
No matter how you look at it, the prince has not run away! ……
The crown prince was brought into the palace!
The Emperor sneered lowly, not at all intent on listening to his explanation.
"Where did Cao Dingbao go with more than 30 people?"
"My son doesn't know."
"I don't know?"
The wolf in the emperor's hand flew to the prince's head.
"Your people, taking your tokens, went out with your soldiers, burned the clothes you gave, buried the sword in your house, and you didn't know?"
The prince couldn't explain it, he really didn't know......
He didn't even understand whether there was a problem with Cao Dingbao or his soldiers.
The Emperor was furious.
"Were they killed by you, or did you get somewhere to avoid the limelight?"
"Father Mingjian, the son is wronged!" The prince kowtowed, and his dry explanation was pale and weak.
……
When Cheng Ziyu heard this, she opened her mouth wide and stood up.
"You say, it's Cao Dingbao?"
She almost forgot about this man.
"Neither the crown princess nor the prince's mansion lied! Because Cao Dingbao is Zhu Changjue's person! The prince is indeed innocent! Cheng Ziyu was very sure, but asked Li Chun's eyes to flash.
Although she had an extremely thrilling life in her previous life, and although she had experienced a lot of winds and waves, she didn't know much about the previous dynasty. But the name Cao Dingbao still left a great impression on her.
"Cao Dingbao is the secret stake that Zhu Changjue left by the prince's side. The fall of the prince in the previous life is largely due to the fact that Cao Dingbao has collected a lot of evidence about the prince's crimes over the years. After the sand was accumulated into a tower, and the evidence was thrown out in one breath, it was the time when the prince fell.
At that time, Cao Dingbao came forward, filled with righteous indignation, and generously testified that he had made a meritorious report, not only was he saved, but he was also promoted to become rich, but the prince was directly dismissed.
He is very eloquent, modest and low-key, although he is not allowed to be reused in the early stage of the Prince's Mansion, but his popularity is good. This facilitated his subsequent collection of evidence of various incriminating crimes. In his previous life, it was only after about two years that he slowly made a contribution with the help of Zhu Changjue, entered the decision-making level of the prince's mansion, and finally sent the prince to a dead end! At this time, he should be just an inconspicuous one among the many guests in the Prince's Mansion. ”
Li Chun's movements slowed down.
And so it was! It's really Zhu Changjue!
He swallowed the wine in one gulp, and said in a low voice:
"It is inconspicuous that Cao Dingbao suddenly disappeared from the Prince's Mansion or made small movements that did not attract attention. You're right. The people in the Prince's Mansion have a good opinion of Cao Dingbao, but they don't know much about his private affairs. And although his popularity is good at the moment, the prince has never reused him! And after investigation, it was found that this trip of the crown princess was Cao Dingbao who encouraged the grandmother beside the crown princess......"
Therefore, Zhu Changjue seized this opportunity and used this inconspicuous chess piece to win the best result. He took advantage of the cheapness! "There are too many things that have changed in this life, and Zhu Changzhe's sudden rise is too turbulent, which has led to the obvious acceleration of all processes.
In this way, the whole game is solved:
Cheng Ziyu felt that the Zhou family did not have the time and ability to quickly plan this assassination in the early stage, indeed.
And Zhu Changjue obviously started planning early. His preparation was too good.
With the help of his power in Jiangnan, he had already prepared arrows to frame Kang Anbo.
There was an inner secretary in the Prince's Mansion, and he had already arranged Cao Dingbao's trip and the special boots used to frame the prince.
After provoking the conflict between Zhou Jingyi and Wenlan yesterday, Dou Shi took action to delay Wenlan's pace, and then Zhu Changjue sent killers to ambush Wenlan on the way back to shoot him.
He must have prepared with both hands.
First-hand, it was used to murder Zhu Changzhe. The man in black deliberately left a string of clues and pointed the finger at Zhou Jingyi and the Zhou family. His purpose was to destroy the marriage contract between Zhu Wu and Wenlan, and even provoke the emperor's suspicion of Kang Anbo, wanting to directly abolish Zhu Changzhe's future......
If it happens, he will abolish Zhu Wu and benefit greatly.
But if it doesn't work......
So he prepared another hand.
His man in black had already left another clue in the first place, making the whole bureau a praying mantis catching cicadas, and then there was the illusion of a yellow finch. It is enough to explain why the previous point to the Zhou family was too obvious this loophole......
The marriage was destroyed, and the one who benefited the most was the crown prince.
Therefore, the emperor is suspicious, and he will definitely think about it on the crown prince:
Vinlan was originally rationed to the prince, but from the fourth to the seventh, from the seventh to the fifth, she always missed the prince, and it was strange that the prince did not hold a grudge. The Emperor will definitely go in this direction.
In addition, the Xiao family has been suppressed recently, the queen has been seized power, and the queen mother has taken full control of the harem, and he, the emperor, does not treat the prince very much, and the prince must not be able to sit still.
At present, the momentum of the fifth is extremely strong, and it is undoubtedly the fifth child who threatens the status of the prince. If there is Wenlan to help, then can he, the crown prince, still sit down? Therefore, the prince will definitely have a consideration for dividing the old five as soon as possible. Designing Wenlan and framing the Zhou family is undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone, which can completely destroy the old five......
So from the point of view of motivation, the prince is definitely enough.
Once the emperor begins to doubt the crown prince, he will definitely not be able to stop......
Zhu Changjue even understood the emperor's psychology.
In addition, the crown prince is Zhu Changjue's old rival, and he is more afraid of the existence of this threat than anyone else.
Maybe he instigated the prince to "protect" Zhu Changzhe into the palace last night, not only in a vain attempt to fan the flames, but also for a deeper purpose, most likely to draw the emperor's attention to the prince. It was precisely to increase the emperor's suspicion of the crown prince.
This can be seen from the fact that the emperor left him and the crown prince to copy the scriptures all night last night, and the emperor was definitely suspicious of both of them at that time.
But as soon as this incident came out at this moment, the prince took the right seat with the motive and purpose of his trip last night.
All the dirty water was thrown on the prince, and Zhu Changjue also cleared his own suspicions by the way.
Therefore, if you can't finish playing the fifth child, it is better, but you can borrow your hand to send the prince to a dead end. Or it is very likely that between the fifth child and the crown prince, the main target of Zhu Changjue's plan at the beginning was the prince......
Therefore, Zhu Changjue even used Cao Dingbao's dark chess early. Because he was confident that the crown prince would definitely be defeated this time. Cao Dingbao's chess, there is no need to leave it for him to use.
Cao Dingbao started to act early in the morning, deliberately going back and forth to leave evidence at the South City Gate. He has a token in his hand, and he has the popularity and eloquence to control the thirty or so guards under the guise of the prince's mission or with money.
All he had to do was take people out of the city, leave clues, and make the illusion of refuge and escape...... As for the thirty or so guards, I am afraid that they don't know what they are doing at all......
Cheng Ziyu threw the chopsticks and had no appetite at all.
"Since the prince has been suspected by the saint, then Zhu Changjue will definitely push it again, and the next step ......"
"Kill the mouth!" Li Chun also thought of it.
"Yes, the clue will definitely be broken soon, and then the officers and soldiers will be unable to pursue it, and it will be a few hours soon, and within a day at the latest, there will be a tragedy."
Soon, the bodies of more than 30 people will be found nearby.
The silence under the weakness and fear of the heart will be used to confirm the prince's crime!
Who else needs to kill them but the crown prince?
Aside from the crown prince, to whom is their death good?
The most important thing is that since the officers and soldiers can't find them, who else will know their whereabouts except the prince? Control where they go? Kill them?
There is no need for any evidence, whoever sees it is the prince's ruthless hand to prevent them from stabbing and shooting! ……
Cheng Ziyu's heart was slightly cold, since these more than 30 people were taken away by Cao Dingbao, there was only one ending for them. It is cruel and cruel to take the heir, but why should the innocent pay the price? One breath is the life of more than 30 people?
Zhu Changjue, don't die well!
After experiencing her previous life, the last thing she could see was that innocent people were implicated in the selfish power struggle of the superior without knowing it.
She couldn't help but sneer.
"This man is simply horrible! There is a plan in this matter, and it is almost seamless, if I don't know Cao Dingbao's identity, even we can't find out whether it is the prince or not. ”
If she didn't have that name, she would have only guessed at seven, three, eighty-two.
Cheng Ziyu pulled Li Chun's sleeve.
"Is there really nothing to do with Zhu Changjue?"
"No, not really! He was exceptionally clean! ”
Cheng Ziyu's hatred for Zhu Changjue at this moment almost reached its peak, and she couldn't help but ask a stupid question: "If you go to the emperor to raise doubts and lead to the facts, will the emperor believe it?" ”
Li Chun smiled bitterly.
"Number one, I'm never going to do it. If he hadn't asked me, I would never have been involved in the succession. Otherwise, he should suspect that I have other intentions, and suspect that I am secretly taking sides.
Second, you know very well that he is a suspicious man. Zhu Changjue clearly counted his suspicion as a necessary element for the success of this plan, so at this time, he couldn't listen to anyone's words, no one would believe it, he would only believe his own judgment.
Third, I guess Zhu Changjue still has to fan the flames. It doesn't make sense for me to go. Fourth, we have no evidence. Did I run to say that my wife knew from the memory of her previous life that Cao Dingbao was Zhu Changjue's person? ”
Li Chun pulled the person into his arms.
"One of the reasons why the emperor connived at the prince's fight was that the prince's strength was too strong. It's not that his own ability is outstanding, it's mainly that the Empress Xiao family has responded to them for several dynasties. Soon after the emperor ascended the throne, he was almost forced to establish a prince, and the dignified son of heaven was driven to the shelves, which was expedient at that time, which can only show that the emperor's hand is immature. But it doesn't mean that the emperor will really tolerate it.
If the crown prince ascends the throne, the power of the Xiao family will be further increased. Does the prince have the strength to avoid the Xiao family and hold on to the power in his hands? If not, then the world will not be surnamed Zhu, but Xiao. So from the emperor's point of view, he didn't want the prince to succeed in the end......
Zhu Changjue also saw that the emperor did not want to see the prince, so he launched this attack at this time. Think about it, if Wen Lan hadn't come forward to take over this matter last night, the emperor would have been able to send the crown prince at this moment. It is fair and just, and it is still based on the two countries, the imperial court, and the position of the world. This is exactly what the emperor wants!
Zhu Changjue grasped the emperor's thoughts, and he created such an opportunity for the emperor, and the emperor could just push the boat down the river and send the prince from the standpoint of the country. The evidence is conclusive, it involves country to country, the prince fell into position, and the Xiao family didn't even dare to let out a fart!
The queen has been seized power, and if the crown prince falls again, then the collapse of the prince's party will not be far away.
This is also the reason why Zhu Changjue is determined to dare to start. He knew that the emperor would definitely seize this opportunity to suppress the crown prince, so he would be safe after all. Then you say, can I go to the emperor and talk more? The emperor can't wait to get the crown prince, so can I go and spoil the emperor's affairs? ”
