This time, the emperor quickly and arbitrarily made a decision, ordering Bai Jingning to be the general manager, Wei Xiangsu and Yan Xiang to participate, as well as a huge investigation team with the participation of Dali Temple and the Imperial Officials of the Criminal Department.

Bai Jingning also proposed to let Chen Jiang be the assistant, and the emperor also agreed, only strictly ordered that the murderer must be identified, no matter who it is, it must be investigated.

The crown prince was detained in the palace by the emperor, and he should not move around at will if he has nothing to do.

When he got the news of the murder of the third prince, Jiang Yanshi had just returned to Jiang Mansion, and after hesitating again and again, he still turned around and left the mansion and asked for a meeting with the Imperial Palace.

The crown prince had just received the emperor's command, his expression was dark, he looked at Jiang Yanshi, and smiled bitterly, "The emperor is suspicious of me." ”

"I heard that Su Guifei pointed directly at Jiang Niangniang, and it is normal for the emperor to let people pass on this sentence, not to suspect His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness should relax his heart. Besides, the death of the third master is not beneficial to His Royal Highness at all, this, inside and outside the court, including the emperor, must be seen clearly. Jiang Yanshi comforted the prince.

"Could it be," the prince looked at Jiang Yanshi, his voice extremely low, "Is it Niangniang?" ”

"No, it won't." Jiang Yanshi replied extremely simply, "The death of the third master is not good for His Royal Highness, Niangniang is a smart person." Besides, for a while, the third master and the Su family have no place to anger the mother, the mother is violent, but there must be something to make her angry and angry, but now there is none. ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief obviously, "I think so too, if it weren't for ...... Who else could there be? The prince looked at Jiang Yanshi, very confused, he thought about it for a long time, and couldn't think of anyone else.

"Even if they are twins, once they are set as monarchs and ministers, they are also one monarch and one minister, and it is said that the Su family did it himself, I think it is nonsense. When I first heard about this, the first thing I thought of was the Qin Palace. ”

After a long pause, Jiang Yanshi continued: "However, the Qin Wangfu is really incomprehensible to move such a hand now. The Queen Mother has just made a big trip, and it is not an exaggeration for Qin Wangfu to say that she is in the wind and rain.

They induced the Feng Fuhai case and threw out the Xiong family and the Zhao family case, which are all excusable, but they can kill the third master...... It's stupid. It's not the usual style of doing things in the Qin Palace. “

"Who else could there be?" The prince furrowed his brows.

"I can't think of it." After a while, Jiang Yanshi shook his head, "I have already asked people to keep an eye on the Changsha Palace, as well as the Lu family." The dead soldiers of the Qin Palace's Mansion must be in the hands of Lu Yi. “

"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep an eye on anything." The prince smiled bitterly, paused, looked at Jiang Yanshi, and suddenly said, "What if it's the emperor?" And then I will be charged with killing my brother, and ......"

The latter words, the prince didn't continue, Jiang Yanshi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he thought for a while before he raised his eyes and looked at the prince and said: "No, the beauties in the harem haven't been able to give birth to a son yet, not a single one, even if the emperor wants to do it, it won't be now." ”

The crown prince was visibly relieved.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much, this matter is ......" Jiang Yanshi sighed with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find out the real culprit, so I won't mention this first, I shouldn't stay here for a long time at this time, I'll go back first, Your Highness must relax." ”

The prince nodded, got up and watched Jiang Yanshi come out of the house, and was stunned for a moment before sitting back down.

Lu Yi got the report, and when he heard half of it, he choked on a mouthful of saliva and coughed violently.

Guo Sheng?

Jin Cunyan glared at Lu Yi, who was coughing and messing up, Lu Yi met his gaze and waved his hand, "Hurry up, Lord Wang!" ”

The two turned around together and hurried inside to meet King Qin.

Qin Wangzheng and Li Xia were under the verandah on the side of the Guanyin Palace, lying side by side beside the long case, one of them took a pen and filled in the gold dust on a persuasion map on the case in front of them.

"Lord Wang." Lu Yi saluted through the railing and talked to King Qin, but his eyes looked at Li Xia. "Just now the news came from the capital," Lu Yi turned his gaze to look at King Qin, "Around noon, the third master was stabbed to death in the Great Ci'en Temple. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yi's gaze swept to Li Xia again. Jin Zhuoyan, who was standing next to Lu Yi, also looked at Li Xia.

King Qin was about to put his hand back on the pen stand, looked at Lu Yi in amazement, and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Xia.

Li Xia met King Qin's gaze and leaned towards Lu Yi and Jin Zhuoyan, "What are you looking at me for?" ”

"Did you get the Assassin?" King Qin looked at Lu Yi and asked.

"I don't know yet, now I only know that the third master was stabbed to death in the Great Ci'en Temple." Lu Yi also turned his head and stopped looking at Li Xia.

Only Jin Cunyan still looked directly at Li Xia, and he had a good look.

"I don't know what's going on yet, wait a little longer, and listen to more letters." King Qin's voice was calm.

Lu Yi gave up, took two steps back, pushed Jin Cunyan, and the two retreated together.

"Guo Sheng?" Seeing that the two of them walked away, King Qin looked at Li Xia and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm." Li Xia picked up the pen and continued to draw gold.

"That way, it's no good."

"It doesn't hurt." Li Xia lay on the case, describing it carefully and seriously, "You just do your business, you shouldn't know about this matter, but you asked, I don't want to hide it from you, don't ask in the future, or pretend not to know if you know." ”

King Qin stood up, walked behind Li Xia, stretched out his hand to circle her, Li Xia straightened up, looked back at King Qin, King Qin lowered his head, his face lightly pressed against Li Xia's face, did not move, and did not speak.

After a while, King Qin stood up straight, reached out and took the pen from Li Xia's hand and put it away, holding her hand, "Didn't you say that you wanted to take a look at the back mountain in the morning, go, I will accompany you, the scenery will definitely be good at this time." ”

"Okay." Li Xia responded happily, and together with King Qin, he went to the back mountain.

In the side hall of the Great Ci'en Temple, Bai Qiao exuded anger and coldness, standing next to the corpse of the three princes lying on the bamboo couch with his hands behind his back, staring at the dried blood hole behind the head of the three queens, and the jet-black iron thorn in the tray next to him.

In the corner of the side hall, the stripped old chamberlain collapsed on the ground like he died.

The iron thorn, the black blood hole, showed the fierceness and surprisingly clean cleanness of the assassin, and for a moment, Bai Qiao even felt that a gust of wind was blowing in the back of his head, if he was replaced, would he be able to escape?

Outside the hall, Chen Jiang was asking a guard with his inseparable staff member Zhu Xi.

Bai Qiao moved to the door of the temple, and moved again, to the ray of sunlight that shone obliquely into the temple door.

This ruthlessness made him faintly feel a sense of déjà vu, and Yi Xin died so ruthlessly.

Bai Qiao shook his head slightly, his mind didn't seem to be very stable, how could he be cranky.

Chen Jiang's interrogation was repeated and careful, and when night fell, the inside and outside of the Great Ci'en Temple were brightly lit, and all the women inside and outside the temple, nobles and court officials, all stayed in place, not allowed to move, did not eat or drink, but no one made any sound, and even no one felt any hunger and thirst.

The disaster in front of him is too big, and if he is not careful, he will be full of blood.
