Chapter 560: The Distress of Dali Temple
Qiu Mei of Dali Temple said that he was very entangled, the noble concubine was succumbing, shouldn't this be a royal matter? Why did it become my own business? Or murder, sent two search letters, one was placed on the table, saying, 'I was imprisoned in the garden by the new emperor, all my thoughts were lost, and I just wanted to follow the first emperor.' But the other one is very interesting, very beautiful handwriting, but it can be seen that it is written quickly, and there are a few ink balls in the middle, but the meaning is smooth, 'I have been swayed by my parents all my life, I can't ask for it, and there is no difference between living and dying'......
Qiu Mei sincerely felt that if it weren't for the difference in handwriting, he really felt that there was any difference in the content of the two letters. But the interesting thing is also here, after the concubine died, the emperor sent someone to check, and then it was called Dali Temple, Dali Temple came into contact with it after the emperor banned the army for a few hours, how could he believe it, and now find out the so-called evidence?
To be honest, he doesn't really believe what this will say. Or rather, he believed it all. Because if the emperor is a thief, it is possible to catch a thief.
After all, how long has the emperor been back, and how much has happened in Beijing? The emperor wants to eradicate the remnants of Prince Ren, and he doesn't want to fight Prince Ren's rebellion, so taking the death of the noble concubine as a breakthrough is a good reason. Of course, in this case, he will also feel that the emperor is a little stupid and has done it too obviously.
Looking at the letter again, in the hidden letter, he was full of anger towards his parents, and he was also an old judge, looking at the two letters carefully, in fact, the anger points were different.
The letter spread out on the table is for people to see, which is anger against the emperor. But if you think about it again, whoever is under house arrest and leaves the palace will not be happy. But the problem is that they were in the palace before, and the place was not so big, except that there was no emperor, their living standards were raised by a notch. This, he also saw in the environment of the palace.
Well, the widow's mood is different, but one thing in Dali Temple is very clear, the new emperor's accession to the throne is really not a usurpation of the dynasty, it is no heir in the palace, so the position was passed to the emperor's closest cousin, which is in line with the ceremony, and the new emperor is really not picky about the succession. So what is the noble concubine angry about?
Ask the people around him, and it turns out that the people close to him have taken poison themselves to show their loyalty. As if someone forced them, they were so frightened that they could only choose to cut themselves.
It's really interesting!
"My lord, Master Wen of the Criminal Department is here." The errand comes in and returns.
"Have you ever checked for your mother?" Dali Temple was not busy inviting Lord Wen in, he first asked about the situation of the corpse.
"Well, I made an old lady who had been in the palace for many years and asked the queen mother to check it herself, and found that the concubine was strangled to death, and then hung on the beam. From the length of the white silk on the beam, it can also be proved that the noble concubine did not climb up by herself. "The errand officer understands this.
It is impossible for him to go to the autopsy of the concubine, so he can only ask the old lady in the palace to add the supervision of the queen mother on the grounds of changing the concubine's clothes, and ask questions outside, and then several old women inside reply at the same time to avoid problems.
Waiting for the shroud to be changed, I will personally go to see the wound on the neck of the concubine, and then measure the height of the concubine, the height of the chair that was kicked open, and then the height of Bai Aya, and it will be clear that he committed suicide and killed him.
"Please come in, Lord Wen!" Dali Temple nodded, similar to what he thought, the person must have been killed by him, so the authenticity of the suicide note spread out is debatable.
The question then comes back to square one, who killed it? Who is it good for the noble concubine to die?
"Lao Qiu, we are brothers and sisters again." As soon as Master Wen came in, he said with a bitter face.
"Do you want the three divisions to triage?" Qiu Mei is happy, the three divisions will be tried, even if it is mainly based on Dali Temple, but the responsibility can also be shared.
"No, let's track it down. However, the emperor took the Gao family lock into the Dali Temple, and it can't be said here, full of deep meaning. Master Wen thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Regardless of the Gao family, Lao Wen, you are the old criminal department, you said, the concubine is dead, who is it good for." Qiu Mei shook his head and said directly to him.
People are locked up in Dali Temple, he can not know. But he hasn't been arraigned for so long, why? There is a problem with the point in time.
As soon as the emperor knew that the concubine was dead, he immediately sent a forbidden army to surround the Gao family and threw the four masters of the Gao family who were sixteen years old into Dali Temple. And he knew that at that time, the forbidden army had just been sent to the palace.
When the emperor didn't know anything, he directly ordered the arrest of people, which made him have to think about it more. What's more, the Gao family invited themselves out of Beijing to guard the spirit of the former emperor before, in fact, it was rumored that the noble concubine committed suicide, and it was not without the meaning of fighting for her father and brother. But this is not suicide, he actually feels that the emperor is more motivated. It's just that this motivation is not enough.
"You're still brainless, after so many years, you still don't know anything about the emperor?" Master Wen didn't want Qiu Mei to invite him, so he found a place to sit down and shook his head at him.
"Don't talk about people, let's talk about the case first."
"If you don't talk about people, how can you talk about cases. Let me tell you, I've been guessing for the past two days when the concubine will die. Sure enough, the man died! Master Wen shook his head.
"You guess?"
"I guessed the day the Gao family and the old lady of the Liu family invited them out of Beijing, you, you talk about the case every day, and you don't want to think about it, how did the case come out? Because people's hearts are unpredictable! According to what you said, if the noble concubine is dead, who will benefit. Of course, the Gao family is good. If it weren't for the emperor knowing that Concubine Gao was dead, he would have besieged the Gao family to death. Believe it or not, if you really wait until the morning and the Gao family can still come out and jump, they will be able to say to the people all over the city that the noble concubine was forced to death by the emperor, because they want to kill the Liu and Gao families! Master Wen sneered.
Qiu Mei was stunned, he wasn't really a political idiot, he just preferred to investigate cases, and he didn't like to involve these messy things in the case.
But Master Wen pulled the Liu family out, and if he didn't understand it, he really didn't deserve to be the second-grade position.
"You mean ......"
"Certainly! The most unlucky person in the death of the concubine was actually the emperor. First of all, those so-called clear streams have spread rumors, saying that he killed his father. The emperor ignored it, and on the way back to Beijing, Mrs. An Guo knelt down to greet her, and it really went to her grandmother's house. Remember? The Ministry of Rites is still playing that tune at the gate of the palace, which one doesn't want to put the emperor to death? If the concubine dies at this time, if the emperor doesn't make some noise, it will be done, he will force the imperial sister-in-law to die, and if he doesn't get it right, he will have to pass on his improper position. ”
"But the emperor only let us check now, but didn't let us try!" Qiu Mei sweated, sure enough, his position was blessed by his ancestors today, and after listening to it for a long time, he was actually thinking about what the emperor meant.
