The old emperor just wanted to appease the people and show his kindness, stretched out his hand to help an old woman who was close to him, and said in a gentle voice: "Old man, if it is a natural disaster, I will never abandon you; If it is, no matter who the ultimate culprit is, I will be severely punished! You are all the people of my Great Zhou, not to mention that you are still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I will definitely give you an explanation! ”

The people first applauded at first, and then some people shouted, "Wronged!" He walked out of the crowd on his knees.

Jin Yu raised her eyes and saw a man dressed in filial piety clothes kneeling down a foot away from the emperor. His radical actions caused the crown prince and King Yi to be stiff, and they launched a posture to protect the emperor.

The man was stopped outside by the guards in front of the palace, and the man had no choice but to kowtow again and again on the spot, shouting injustice in his mouth.

"The emperor's villain, father, mother, wife and children all died in the fire, asking the emperor to investigate the murderer thoroughly!" The man's face was full of tears, and after a series of kowtows, the dust hit his face, and he was inexhaustibly desolate.

The emperor peeled off the crown prince and King Yi, waved his hand, the guard hesitated, and saw that the emperor's face sank, so he had to put away the long knife in his hand and let the man go, but the sharp light in his eyes like a falcon chased the man all the way.

"I pity your family for the flying disaster, but the case of the fire is under investigation, and the natural disaster ** is still inconclusive, where did your injustice come from?"

"It's not a natural disaster at all!" As soon as the man was excited, the volume was loud, tears and saliva flew up, and even the emperor was shocked, but fortunately, he was the martial emperor of the Great Zhou, and he quickly calmed down, and the man who only listened cried and said: "Didn't you find a few female corpses this morning?" It is said that the female corpse was not burned to death, nor was it smoked to death, but was strangled to death, and some people's arms were also cut off! This is obviously a murder, innocent people around him, how can he not be wronged. ”

"Bold! Such a misdemeanor in front of the emperor, be careful to punish your crimes! The prince couldn't hold back his face and scolded.

"The villain's family was buried in the fire, leaving this body just to bury the family, today I learned that the family was wronged, I just want to be able to avenge the family, if the emperor's trust in exchange for the villain's life is willing to avenge the people, the villain's life, this is given to the prince!" As he spoke, the man slammed into a rock on the ground.

King Yi quickly stepped forward to stop the person, and persuaded him softly: "With the emperor here, if you are wronged, are you afraid that there is nowhere to go!" He turned his head and said to the prince: "Brother the prince doesn't need to be angry, he doesn't know the etiquette in front of the palace, and he is sad in his heart, and it is inevitable that there will be grievances, if you are the prince, don't use the etiquette in front of the palace to torture him!" ”

The prince's face was red and white, and King Yi's voice was gentle, and he said affectionately and righteously, but he couldn't refute half of the sentence.

"Alright!" The emperor folded his sleeves and stood with his hands in his hands, and said slowly: "What King Yi said is right, don't worry too much about etiquette and etiquette today!" His eyebrows furrowed, his face became gloomy, and he bowed his head to the man who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "What do you mean by the female corpse just now?" ”

"Father, this was also discovered in the middle of the night last night, and he may not be able to tell the people clearly, so it is better to invite the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to ask!" King Yi was still breathing evenly, his tone was calm, he didn't even fly his eyes, and there were no flaws around his body!

"You are in charge of the rescue of this fire, I guess what you said is reasonable!" The emperor's voice paused, and his eyes flew, "Where is the book of the criminal department?" The words were flat but the tone was cold, Dong Zheng didn't know where to crawl and stumble out of the group, a purple-clothed official uniform covered with dust, and his face was still stained with scorched earth.

Dong Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came to the scene in person from the beginning of the fire, and he was undressed for the past few days, checking and checking, and finally found something, thinking that he could make a difference, but he saw that the direction of the case was getting more and more wrong, and a hot and eager heart that wanted to invite merit was poured with a bucket of ice water, which was cold to the bones.

And the most terrible thing is that he was busy until midnight yesterday, and after the Nangong Marquis Mansion came to claim the female corpse this morning, he didn't have time to report the matter to the prince.

This is all together now, the emperor didn't dare to come out of the queue when he came, and when the emperor remembered to shout that he was indeed disgraced and crawling, this criminal department Shangshu only complained bitterly in his heart! The fight between the two night cats deserves to be implicated in his rat nest.

The show is about to be staged, King Yi cleverly found a round stool, moved a brazier and put it next to him, helped the emperor to sit down steadily, saw Dong Zheng's bewildered face, knew that he knew seven, seven, eight, eight but didn't dare to speak, looking at his embarrassed look, King Yi's heart had already blossomed.

It's just that his face is still calm, and he still said to Dong Zheng in a gentle manner: "Lord Dong must have worked hard these days, tell me what the current situation of the case is!" When you're done, you can go back and rest! ”

After speaking, King Yi didn't forget to smile charmingly. Dong Zheng seemed to have been fed a handful of boogers for no reason, extremely disgusting, but he didn't dare to say anything, and looked at the prince helplessly.

The prince didn't know the reason and shouted: "What have you found out!" ”

After the fire, the prince once invited his subordinates to ask them one by one whether their hands were clean about this case, and the people who didn't do it naturally said that it had nothing to do with them, so even if Zhuo Yinfeng was related, if he just burned a few people and told His Royal Highness the prince, it would naturally be okay to cover up the matter.

But now that the whole street has been burned, Long Yan is furious, and the prince knows that he did it himself, and it is one thing to protect himself or not. Both horizontally and vertically are dead, their eyes are closed, their hearts are horizontal, and they grit their teeth and say that they have nothing to do with themselves.

This own person is clean and clean, and the prince's heart is clear, thinking that it is still not the king of Yi who is in trouble. At this moment, the complex and deep meaning in Dong Zheng's eyes was naturally incomprehensible, and the prince naturally couldn't comprehend it.

Zhuo Yinfeng, who was present, knew that King Yi and Jinyu were like mirrors, but they were just waiting to see a good show.

Qianqian has been lying in Jinyu's arms as if she was seriously ill and weak, vaguely feeling that she is in the fog, but she feels that there is a black shadow behind her, and now she is finally going to see the truth of the black shadow, although she has been mentally prepared, but she is still afraid in her heart. I only grabbed Jinyu's arm tightly and drew a little warmth from his body to comfort myself.

And Jinyu knew that she didn't need to say a word about today's matter, just concentrate on taking care of Qianqian, seeing that Qianqian's body was trembling, her hands were cold, and she hurriedly took her hand and held it tightly in her hand.

Over there, Dong Zheng was up and down in his heart, facing the question, how old can the prince be bigger than the sky? If you offend the emperor, you will die, and if you offend the prince, it is still possible to ask the emperor to save his life.
