Chapter 421: Is It Him?

Wrong!

And how to explain that waist card?

Wei Qingqing thought about it and saw that Chen Jinbao had already left for the Qinzheng Palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Gonggong Chen, there is still a suspicious point of the waist card that has not been clarified, and the case cannot be finalized!" ”

"The waist card is not so suspicious, Xu is which palace person lost the waist card for fear of being scolded, so I thought of a way to make up for it!" Chen Jinbao waved his hand at Wei Qingqing with a disapproving face, and said, "We just need to tell the emperor the person who is the most suspicious, and the emperor has his own decision!" ”

After Chen Jinbao finished speaking, he bypassed Wei Qingqing and took the yellow-clothed palace maid to the Qinzheng Palace quickly, looking like he wanted to settle the case as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Wei Qingqing could only helplessly follow, and couldn't help but say again on the way: "I'm afraid that if the case is not investigated clearly, the people who should be punished have not been found out, and the people who should not be punished have been wrongfully imprisoned!" ”

Chen Jinbao still looked disappreciative, and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to worry about wronging a good person, let's go to the emperor and tell the matter about it, and the emperor will then order Master Chen to summon Master Chen to the Qinzheng Palace, and order him to take off his mask and let the little palace maid who saw the murderer identify it, won't the result be known?" ”

"Take off your mask?" Wei Qingqing was stunned at first, and then realized that he had been wearing a black mask covering half of his face.

She was probably used to it, and she had already automatically ignored the mask on her face, and it wasn't until Chen Jinbao mentioned her at this moment that she remembered it again.

As soon as Wei Qingqing's mind shifted to the mask on Chen's face, the earliest dream that came to mind subconsciously appeared - the dream that Lichen and Xiao Guifei were on the top of the Liuhe Pagoda together.

She remembered that Concubine Xiao had mentioned in her dream that the mask on her face seemed ordinary, but in fact it was the work of a hidden famous teacher, with a delicate mechanism attached to it, and the mask could only be removed when the mechanism was opened.

If no one tells you, no one can find the mechanism, and there is no way to remove the mask.

Her mind turned to this, and she couldn't help but have another question in her heart - why did Lichen never take off the mask on his face?

Does that mean that no one has ever seen the true face of dust?

In other words, if Lichen really takes off his mask and does something shady, even if he is hit by someone, then no one can associate him with the identity of "Lichen".

The more Wei Qingqing thought about it, the more doubts she had in her heart, and the more doubts on her body became more and more.

Could it be that the murderer is really dusty?

Wei Qingqing believes that Chen will not kill innocents indiscriminately, but what if he has a reason to kill Mama Zhang?

Wei Qingqing's thoughts were tossing and turning, and he had come to Emperor Wu.

She had just finished saluting Emperor Wu when she heard Chen Jinbao impatiently reply to the case, "Your Majesty, the slave and Princess Rui have thoroughly investigated the case......

After listening to Chen Jinbao's words, Emperor Wu immediately ordered someone to pass the dust to the Qinzheng Palace.

As soon as the dust man arrived, Emperor Wu ordered him to confront the palace maid in yellow, "Master Chen, a grandmother died in the palace, this palace maid saw that the murderer was a monk, and there were only two monks in the palace, you and Master Shenxiu......"

"Of course, it is also possible that someone pretended to be a monk and harmed others. I naturally believe in you and Master Shenxiu, but all kinds of clues point to the master, and I hope that the master can take off the mask to prove his innocence and block the mouths of the people. ”

Emperor Wu really asked Chen to take off his mask in public, and Li Chen really bowed his head and remained silent as Wei Qingqing expected, and did not immediately obey the order.

Emperor Chongwu, who folded his hands, bowed and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha." Back to the emperor, the poor monk once swore in front of the family teacher that he could not take off the mask in this life, and hoped that the emperor would keep the oath. ”

Emperor Wu's face sank when he heard this, and he asked in a displeased tone, "What if I want you to take off your mask?" ”

Lichen bowed slightly, and replied without being arrogant or humble: "Forgive the poor monk for not being able to obey the order." ”

"Bold dust!" Emperor Wu was furious on the spot, and immediately ordered the imperial guards to come forward and surround the dust, "Those who resist the decree and do not respect the honorable will be killed!" Dust, I'll give you one last chance, will you take off the mask? ”

"The poor monk is willing to die." Lichen would rather be condemned than take off his mask!

Wei Qingqing couldn't help but be secretly anxious when she watched it from the sidelines, thinking to herself, why is Chen so stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible?

And how many oaths did he make?

One moment he swore that he couldn't say that he knew Mama Zhang, and the next he swore that he would never take off his mask for the rest of his life......

Now that his head is about to be lost, why is he still stubbornly keeping these seemingly ridiculous vows?

He refused to admit that he knew Mama Zhang, and refused to reveal the relationship between him and Mama Zhang, which may involve other secrets that could not be said, so he had to remain silent.

But why can't he even take off his mask and show his true face?

Could it be that he is a fugitive from the imperial court?

Wei Qingqing really couldn't figure out why he would rather die than take off his mask!

When she saw that the dust was so stubborn, her heart gradually shook again!

On closer thought, she didn't seem to be that familiar with Lichen, she didn't know him that well...... Could she be too gullible to be dusty?

Could it be that Lichen is really the murderer who killed Mama Zhang?

Otherwise, why wouldn't he take off his mask?

At this time, Master Shenxiu hurriedly arrived after receiving the news, and after saluting Emperor Wu, he took the initiative to testify on behalf of Chen, "Your Majesty, what the disciple said is true, and the old man did order him to swear in front of the Buddha earlier, and he will not take off the mask on his face for the rest of his life." ”

"The old man is willing to guarantee with his life, and Lichen is by no means a murderer!" In order to save the dust, Master Shenxiu was willing to use his life as a guarantee, "Your Majesty, you will believe in Lao Wei once, he will never kill anyone after the dust!" ”

It stands to reason that Master Shenxiu has been performing forbidden techniques for Emperor Wu, trying to help Emperor Wu resurrect Emperor Qin's concubine, and Emperor Wu will sell him a little face and let him go.

But at this moment, Emperor Wu regarded figuring out the secrets in the brocade box as a first-class and first-class matter, even if it was such a major event as resurrecting the Qin Emperor's concubine, it must be lower than the brocade box that hid the secret!

Therefore, Emperor Wu didn't even sell Master Shenxiu's face this time, and ordered in an unquestionable tone, "This time the stakes are very high, I can't just let go of the dust, today he has to take off the mask on Chen's face, and he has to take off if he doesn't take it off!" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"Master Shenxiu doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind."

Master Shenxiu was about to speak, but Emperor Wu unceremoniously cut off his words, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the imperial guards to move, and took off the mask on the dust with strong means!

Lichen wanted to resist immediately, and with his skills, he tried his best, and there was still a glimmer of chance to break out of the encirclement before a large number of Royal Forest troops arrived.
