Chapter 40: Unpredictable
In the Minghua Palace, Emperor Yu learned the news of Mo Hongyuan's murder, and three hours passed since the ugly time, and he has been sitting silently in front of the bookcase.
The morning is bright, I don't change my clothes, I don't eat breakfast, and I don't even go to the morning court!
Overnight, the whole person lost his spirit, as if he had been drained of support, revealing a state of silence and exhaustion.
The attendants couldn't bear the emperor's sadness, and stepped forward to comfort him, "Holy Lord, the prince is gone, and no one wants to see it." However, people cannot be resurrected after death, so please be sure to mourn and change, especially in this case, you must take care of the dragon's body. ”
King Zhao is dead, if he falls now, won't the Nian family take advantage of the situation to rise and ascend to the sky in one step?
Emperor Yu held his forehead and sighed lightly: "Lin Fu, this matter was done by Yi'er?" ”
"As far as the minister knows, this matter was not done by His Highness. Nian Fang captured the murderer on the spot, it was a swordsman, and the sword he used was called Cho Yue. If the news is true, the minister guessed correctly, this swordsman should be Chu Menggong's bodyguard! ”
"Chu Menggong!" Emperor Yu was quite surprised to hear his name, "Chu Mengsheng, the murderer is his person!" The stakes are high, have you found out? ”
"The minister doesn't dare to say anything, whether the murderer is Chu Mengsheng's person or not has yet to be confirmed."
The attendants told the truth about the news they heard, and at the same time, further analyzed the matter: "However, everyone who is in the rivers and lakes knows that Qianyan, the number one master of Tianyun, uses the sword of slashing!" The murderer caught by Nian Fang also happened to use the Chopping Sword, as for whether the murderer was Qian Hao himself, or whether someone pretended to be him to commit the crime, further investigation is needed. ”
King Zhao's death had nothing to do with Yi'er, which made him somewhat relieved, but the development of the situation was unexpected, and the original internal grievances were now related to Tianyun.
Before Emperor Yu recovered from the loss of his friend, troubles followed, and Hongyuan was killed, perhaps more complicated than imagined!
"If this matter involves Tianyun and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it will be difficult to handle?"
"What does the emperor mean?"
Emperor Yu looked at the swaying scenery outside the window, his eyes were more worried than before, and he still felt uneasy in his heart.
"You go to the Dusk Garden to find the prince, and ask some things face to face, so that I can feel at ease."
"Yes! Go now. ”
Lin Fu retreated, thinking in his heart: I hope it has nothing to do with him!
……
……..
No matter what happens in the court, the people's lives will not change in any way, they will not be worried about the world, they will not be trapped by fame and fortune, in a sense, they are very lucky.
Because of ignorance, so be happy!
The Zhaowang Mansion changed color overnight, wrapped in white silk, and wept into mourning, this will, they have already set up a mourning hall.
The prince doesn't ask about anything, Concubine Shen just blindly cried, the eldest prince has not returned from the border for two years, and the establishment of the mourning hall is still handled by the housekeeper.
However, the prince's funeral was not allowed to be taken care of by anyone, the main mother was still there, and she should be invited back to take charge of the affairs of the house.
Therefore, early in the morning, the housekeeper went to invite the princess in person.
The prince didn't care, because he left the palace early in the morning.
Mo Han went to the capital government and read the prisoners who had been interrogated overnight, so he had a little eyebrows, and when it was dawn, he went back to rest first, and was ready to rest before continuing the trial.
Therefore, he missed Zhao Shizi, who came to the palace.
Liu Lie has not yet sat in the court, so he does not know about Zhao Shizi's coming to the mansion.
Mo Han had a clear purpose, entered the mansion, and came directly to the prison.
The jailer didn't know his identity and prevented him from entering, he was not annoyed, he took out the token symbolizing his identity and threw it to the jailer, the jailer was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy when he saw the token, and then looked up, where is there still the figure of the prince!
When Mo Han saw the murderer of Mo Hongyuan, he didn't go in immediately, his eyes narrowed a dangerous cold light, and he asked him: "You are a person from the Tianyun Dynasty, why did you kill King Zhao?" ”
Tianyun Dynasty's Qianzhi, he has heard of it a little, he is young and frivolous, and he never lacks the courage to challenge the masters.
In particular, some people praised his soul-slaying swordsmanship for being independent, and he was even more determined to compete one day.
However, he could never have imagined that they would meet in this way!
Through the iron fence, Qian Xuan heard the sound of his clenched fists and clucking, and the murderous aura he showed to him, Qian Xuan looked at him calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The prince thinks that he is killing Prince Zhao?" Indeed, all the evidence so far points to me as a murderer. However, I can tell you for sure that the sword I stabbed at the prince did not exert all my strength, and it was not enough to take his life. The prince's death has nothing to do with me, if the prince doesn't believe it, he can go back and check the sword wound on the prince's body. ”
Mo Han said coldly: "You are wrong, this son has checked the wounds on his father's body, and there are no other wounds except for the sword you stabbed." ”
Qian Xuan was shocked, there was only one wound on King Zhao's body, and it was caused by him! How can it be?
"Impossible! I only used half of my strength, and it was impossible to kill King Zhao. ”
"Father is a civil servant, and half of the skills you think can directly kill people invisibly. The facts are in front of you, and you still want to quibble! ”
Mo Han was deeply pained, and was forced to be pressed in his heart with hatred and anger, endured the last trace of patience, and said, "I just want to know the real reason why you hurt your father?" Of course, you can choose not to say it, kill you, and I can still find out the truth of the matter. ”
The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.
"Since the prince believes that Zai Xia is the murderer, then it is useless to say anything below. As for the trip to the lower and upper levels, it was for the purpose of finding relatives, and there was no other purpose. ”
Calmly stated the purpose of his coming to Shangbiao, looking for relatives, who believes? The final rhetoric is more like trying to cover up and try to hide the truth.
"You're really hiding something? Who are you covering up for? "Is what Qian Xuan said true or false, he can't tell the difference?
However, as the personal guard of the emperor of the Tianyun Dynasty, he did not protect the monarch at any time, but came out to look for relatives, and the place to find relatives was still in the imperial capital of Yuguo...... There are huge holes in these narratives themselves.
There was no emotion in his fleshy face, and Mo Han didn't expect to hear any useful clues from his mouth.
"The guy you're helping cover for is the real murderer, right?"
Qianyan would rather be caught and imprisoned by them, just because he didn't want to implicate the young master, and at the same time, he wanted to use the power of the government to find out the real culprit.
However, the government identified him as a murderer, and the recognition of the sword even more pointed out that he was a spy sent by Tianyun, and abused lynching to force him to confess to trumped-up charges.
The original plan was completely disrupted, and now he is in prison, but he didn't expect that the first person to come to see him turned out to be Zhao Shizi!
Zhao Shizi's question and answer is reasonable, and he is simply not carried away by hatred, and there are still some similarities in this regard.
Qian Hao could see that he didn't come to kill him: "Shizi, don't waste your time here, instead of wasting time with me here, it's better to lead someone to find out the real culprit." ”
Qian Xuan insisted that he didn't kill the person, but Mo Han just said that King Zhao only had a sword wound on his body, whether he killed the people, or the man in black blamed him, Qian Xuan was not sure?
Outside the cell door, there was a series of footsteps.
"Lord Shizi, how can you come to such a place?"
Mo Han glanced at them, and then turned indifferently to Qian Xuan.
Liu Lie hurried to the prison with people, full of apprehension, what if the prince killed the murderer in a fit of anger?
The background of the murderer is not ordinary reckless, Tianyun Chao is his backer, if he says kill and kill, if he doesn't get it right, it will implicate the problem of diplomatic relations between the two countries! What's more, it may not be known what will cause disputes?
Nianfang's abuse of lynching was to find out the truth about the cause of King Zhao's death, but the murderer was killed by the prince of the world before the truth was found, and the nature was very different.
In case Tianyun bites back, saying that Yu Guo harmed their general, it is they who are unreasonable in the end.
Fortunately, the prince was outside, and there was an iron fence between the two.
Liu Lie stepped forward, looked at the prince with a cold face, knew that the prince was killed, and the prince was in a bad mood, so he said simply: "Son, this person is extremely evil, he killed Vice General Cen and Xiaowubo first, and now he has even harmed the prince......
Mo Han stared at him suddenly, interrupted his words, and said in a deep voice: "You said that he was the murderer of Vice General Cen Xiao Wubo?" Wasn't it a day to kill them? ”
Liu Lie never thought that the prince would react so much, shook his head, looked at Qian Xuan in the cell and said: "These people were not killed in one day, Nian Fang caught him on the spot, and found the wind cloud order on the prince, so we conclude that he is the one who killed these people!" ”
Mo Han couldn't hear what Liu Lie said later, and now he only felt that he was poured with winter ice water, soaked in the cold, and trembled from the bottom of his heart......
