Chapter 438: The Emperor Got It Right
The bridegroom is dead, and the bride is gone.
The marriage between the two is still a royal gift......
The maid who found Zhu Ziyu's body was almost frightened, and after relieving herself, she hurriedly reported the situation to the eldest princess of Rongyang.
The eldest princess of Rongyang was stupid for a long time and hurried to the general's mansion.
She and Cui Xu haven't lived together for a long time.
Along the way, the subordinates of the General's Mansion asked for peace to the eldest princess of Rongyang.
"Where's your general?"
"The general is practicing his sword in the martial arts arena."
The eldest princess of Rongyang rushed all the way to the martial arts arena in the northeast corner, and at a glance saw the man dancing the sword in the morning light.
"Cui Xuβ" she shouted.
Cui Xu's movements stopped, and he strode over with his sword.
Seeing Cui Xu's faint expression, the eldest princess of Rongyang gritted her teeth and said, "You still have time to practice swords, something happened!" β
"What's going on?" Cui Xu put away his sword and wiped his sweat.
The eldest princess of Rongyang lowered her voice and said, "Zhu Ziyu is dead!" β
Cui Xu's movement of wiping sweat stopped suddenly: "What about Mingyue?" β
"It's gone...... "The eldest princess of Rongyang grabbed Cui Xu's wrist, "Cui Xu, what do you say?" β
Cui Xu gently withdrew his hand and clenched the hilt of the sword: "What else can I do, of course it's looking for someone!" β
"But-" The eldest princess of Rongyang made a decision, her tone was inexplicable, "Who killed Zhu Ziyu?" β
On the wedding night, the groom dies and the bride is missing, and anyone will suspect that the groom's death is related to the bride.
For the generous and sensible daughter in her impression, Princess Rongyang suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.
Was Zhu Ziyu killed by Mingyue-her heart trembled, and she didn't dare to think about it again.
Cui Xu's voice sounded: "Mingyue has followed me to learn boxing and kicking for a few years, and it is not a problem to deal with one or two ordinary people in your spare time." β
"Cui Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Cui Xu looked at the eldest princess of Rongyang fixedly, and his tone was steady: "I mean that no matter what the truth is, find someone first." β
The eldest princess of Rongyang sighed.
Cui Xu is right, no matter who killed the person, Mingyue will find it back.
"I'll take someone to find Mingyue first, and you go into the palace to explain this matter to the emperor."
The eldest princess of Rongyang was stunned: "Do you want to tell the imperial brother?" β
"Sooner or later, I won't be able to hide it." Cui Xu put down the next sentence and strode out.
Emperor Jingming only dispersed the dynasty, so he listened to Pan Haiyu's report to the eldest princess of Rongyang asking to see him.
Moths again?
Emperor Jing Ming recalled seriously.
Yesterday, Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu's wedding was said to be very smooth-
"Invite the eldest princess to the imperial study."
Emperor Jingming returned to the imperial study and didn't even sit down steadily, and the eldest princess of Rongyang walked in.
"The courtier's sister meets the royal brother."
"What's going on?" Seeing that the eldest princess of Rongyang was red-eyed, Emperor Jingming began to have a headache.
"Brother Huang, the bright moon is gone......"
Emperor Jingming subconsciously sat up straight: "What? β
The eldest princess of Rongyang knelt down: "The courtier sister is here to ask for sin." β
Emperor Jingming simply got up and walked over: "What excuse for sin?" Rise up and make things clear! β
The eldest princess of Rongyang got up and briefly explained the situation.
"Are you saying that the moon is gone, and Zhu Ziyu is dead?" Emperor Jingming's heart trembled when he heard this.
He said that there was another moth, and it was true!
The eldest princess of Rongyang nodded slowly.
Emperor Jingming closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes after a long time, his dark eyes made it impossible to see his emotions.
"What does the imperial sister think?"
The eldest princess of Rongyang was crying: "Brother Huang, my sister is very worried, it must be a gangster who broke in and killed Zhu Ziyu and kidnapped Mingyueββ"
"Does the Zhu family know about this?"
"I don't know yet."
"I ordered Zhen Shicheng to investigate this case, and Jin Scalewei commanded Han Ran to assist Cui Xu to find Mingyue ......"
Princess Rongyang's face changed slightly: "Brother Huang, is it inappropriate to let the people of the government intervene?" β
The matter of Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu is a private royal matter, and once it is found out, it will affect the reputation of the royal family.
Emperor Jingming disagreed: "The secret investigation is." Zhen Shicheng knows it. β
That old guy can just investigate the case, and he is much better than some people who claim to be loyal but always cause trouble.
The eldest princess of Rongyang had no choice but to respond.
Emperor Jingming glanced at her and advised: "Don't say more about the queen mother's side for the time being, the Zhu family's side will quietly ventilate first." β
"Brother Huang, don't worry, my sister knows."
"Then the royal sister should go and get busy."
Waiting for the eldest princess of Rongyang to leave, Emperor Jingming stood by the window and was silent for a long time.
"Pan Haiβ"
"The slave is here."
"Do you say that the left eye jumps to wealth and the right eye jumps to disaster, or is it the other way around?"
Pan Hai wiped his sweat again and again: "Your Majesty, slave maid ......"
"That's it, if people don't go their way, every eye will jump into disaster."
Pan Hai quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the emperor embarrasses him with this kind of problem again, he will not be able to live.
"Pan Hai, who do you say Zhu Ziyu would kill?"
Pan Hai: "......"
"Your Majesty, Liuchu Huazhai has a new book, do you want to take a look?"
β¦β¦
Zhen Shicheng received the secret order, and suddenly came to the spirit.
Recently, there have been no decent cases in the capital, and the Shuntian Mansion has been dealing with some trivial things all day long: what Wang San's vine climbed to Li Si's house, and the melon was picked by Li's fourth daughter-in-law; Zhao Liu's pig was lost and picked up and not returned; The little daughter-in-law of the Sun family eloped with someone......
Zhen Shicheng felt that he was too idle to grow mushrooms.
There was another important case, or a dead and missing case!
The only thing that Zhen Shicheng is not very satisfied with is that because of the special identity of the victim, he needs to cover up his identity and investigate, so as not to disturb his neighbors.
This is not difficult for Zhen Shicheng, and he soon disguised himself as a guest who came to visit, and the maid followed behind him with the appearance of a gift box full of little maids.
As for what is in the gift box, only your own people know.
After careful investigation and interrogation, Zhen Shicheng was quite disappointed.
The case was much simpler than he had imagined.
"Zhen Shicheng wants to see?" Emperor Jingming has been getting more and more headaches recently, and he heard the report just as he closed his eyes and recuperated.
It didn't take long for Zhen Shicheng to appear in front of Emperor Jingming.
"What did Zhen Aiqing find?"
When it comes to what he is best at, Zhen Shicheng is not modest, and immediately said: "Back to the emperor, the situation has been ascertained." β
Emperor Jingming's eyes burned: "Zhen Aiqing talk about it." β
"After checking, the groom should have been stabbed in the back by the bride in the back and killed."
The jade ornament that Emperor Jingming was playing with in his hand almost fell off: "Zhen Aiqing is joking?" β
Can his quiet and elegant niece kill a big man with a single sword?
Zhen Shicheng's face was straight, and he said seriously: "The ministers never laugh when they investigate the case. From the direction and depth of the wound, combined with the blood stains on the bed, it can be inferred that the bride should have raised a dagger and stabbed the groom in the heart when she was pressed under the groom......
Emperor Jingming's face was very exciting, and he asked with difficulty for a while: "What does Zhen Aiqing mean is that the bride killed the groom's official, and then absconded in fear of crime?" β
Zhen Shicheng bowed his head: "The emperor is right." β
