Chapter 637: Homicide (1)

When Nalan Hao learned of Wei Shangshu's visit, he ordered someone to beckon him to wait in the hall. As a result, as soon as he changed his clothes and came out, he saw Wei Shangshu kneeling at the door with a puff, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help!" ”

"Lord Wei gets up first, go in and talk slowly."

The news of Rong Yue's murder has spread throughout the imperial capital, and it is not difficult for the people of the Prince's Mansion to know about it. But with such a big charge of murder, how to rescue Wei Junhua is a difficult problem.

"Is the evidence conclusive now?"

"Yes, someone has already testified that it was the child who killed him, if it is an iron case, it will really be irreparable! I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help Xiao'er, such a man in the courtier's family! Wei Shangshu said and knelt down to the prince and pleaded.

Nalan Hao twisted his eyebrows, this time Wei Junhua killed someone, and he was arrested by the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department is not his force, this is a big trouble.

Now it seems that he has to appease Wei Shangshu first, he waved his hand, "Lord Wei, don't worry, go back to the mansion first, the palace has its own way." ”

"Multi-...... Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for your help! ”

Without further ado, Nalan Hao had already set off from the Prince's Mansion to the palace and prepared for the court.

The atmosphere of the court was as depressing as ever, and everyone could only bow their heads slightly under the emperor's aura, and they were about to retire from the court, but because the murder case of the son of the military department Shangshu was mentioned by the imperial historian, it added another heavy stroke to this heavy atmosphere.

"Emperor, the minister has something to do."

"Say."

"Regarding the murder of the daughter of the Lingwang Mansion in the suburbs of Beijing, there is already evidence to prove that it was killed by the son of the Wei family, and this matter is also spread by word of mouth in the capital, killing people is a big crime, and the emperor wants to severely punish the murderer."

The official position of the Imperial Historian, who was responsible for supervising the dereliction of duty and illegal acts of the princes and officials of the imperial court, was the core of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and was also highly valued by the emperor because he never participated in party disputes. As soon as he stood up at this moment, many officials immediately seconded it.

Of course, it includes the Lord Ling.

Although the prestige of the Lingwang Mansion in the dynasty is gradually fading and its power is weakening, the titles of the princes with different surnames are also placed there, and the officials are still afraid of it.

The emperor was about to say something, when the crown prince on the right side of the court suddenly stood up, "Father, the son thinks this matter is inappropriate!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"First of all, the motive for the murder of the son of the Wei family has not yet been investigated, and the rape and murder should be done extremely secretively, so it is a little unusual to be so easily discovered."

The third prince on the side suddenly laughed, "What the second brother means by saying this is questioning the criminal department's ability to investigate cases?" ”

Nalan Heng's sentence was neither light nor heavy, so Nalan Hao didn't know how to refute, so he had to answer, "Of course not, the son just pointed out the inappropriateness to his father." ”

"What is wrong with the felony of murder, which should be dealt with by law?"

The three princes have become sharp-toothed, but they openly argued fiercely with the prince in the court, and they really didn't take him as the son of heaven in their eyes. The emperor immediately said coldly: "The crown prince continued. ”

"Second brother, why do you have to cover up everywhere for such a big crime of murder?"

"I didn't cover up, I just ...... to my father"

"I asked the prince to continue, and I didn't let you interject!" The emperor seemed to be angry, and slapped the armrest suddenly, and Nalan Heng immediately shut up when he heard this.

Nalan Hao glared at Nalan Heng, and then continued: "Moreover, although the son of the Wei family often asks for flowers and willows, he can't do such things as rape and murder, and he also asks his father to find out the truth and catch the real culprit." ”
