Chapter 368: Return to the palace and return to life
"Click......" The roof tiles moved slightly, and there was a subtle sound.
King Chen made a silent gesture to Rong Yunxi, got up with his sword, and got out of bed silently. Walk slowly out the door......
The "......" was another extremely slight sound, and the roof tiles had loosened quite a bit. It's just a matter of moments before it can be lifted. However, in order to prevent dust from falling, she had to use internal force to suck up the dust and debris in time, and she could not complete the lifting of the tiles in a coherent manner.
Suddenly, I heard the door under the house being slammed open!
Weaving Star responded very quickly, immediately released the roof tiles, skimmed over the roof like a wild goose, and rushed out of the courtyard in the air.
Behind him, King Chen chased after him with a sword and a sword. I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "It's so sensitive!" ”
He rushed out so suddenly, and the sudden stabbing action was so fast that ordinary people couldn't dodge. But not only did this man dodge when the tip of his sword was only a few inches away from stabbing his arm, but he was so light that it was smacking, and it sent him farther and farther away.
King Chen chased after him for a while, and realized that he must not be able to catch up, so he gave up.
didn't shout that the guards were arresting, and it was a big fuss, which is not a good thing at this juncture.
At this time, it is better for him to have no movement on his side, and the quieter the better. Let the father and emperor not think of his side at all, and forget his existence.
King Chen returned to the room with his sword, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed by his ability. He has already been planted in this man's hands twice, just because the light skill is too weak.
This person was the person who threw down the tide in the General's Mansion at that time, and he could recognize it by looking at his figure. There are really a lot of masters under the eldest brother.
"What's going on?" Rong Yunxi's voice was a little nervous, and he asked softly.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she knew that the person who came in was King Chen. I was nervous because I was worried that King Chen was injured.
But I don't know what the situation is, and I don't dare to get out of bed and light the lamp to check.
"It's okay", King Chen lifted the curtain and came in, and rehung the sword on the head of the bed. With a cool body, he jumped over, jumped over from Rong Yunxi, lifted the quilt and got into the quilt, "It's still the eldest brother." It's the one who threw you outside the General's Mansion last time...... Forget it, you don't know. You slept like a dead pig. ”
"So you couldn't catch up with him again, and let him escape?" Rong Yunxi said with a smile.
His body was contaminated with cold air by King Chen, and he shrank into the quilt again.
Although King Chen didn't tell her about what she couldn't catch up with before, Rong Yunxi could also expect that it must be this reason. Because there was no sound of fighting outside just now, and seeing that King Chen came back so soon, can there be any other explanation besides not being able to catch up? Just this light work of King Chen...... Hehe, she didn't dare to compliment. can also be pretentious in front of her.
"Sleep, sleep!" King Chen was shortened by Rong Yunxi, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and turned around to give Rong Yunxi a proud back.
King Chen didn't ask the guards to stop this person, and Rong Yunxi didn't warn him. King Chen will not be frustrated by this and forget about the thief. The only explanation is that he didn't want to arrest this man.
King Chen is really frank and bold enough, it can be seen that he has done enough work on weekdays, and there is nothing in this palace that can be used as a handle. If you really have a certain number in your heart, you can be so calm and not chaotic.
Weaving Star was chased by King Chen, and he thought that as soon as the guards of King Chen's Mansion chased him, he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed. It's not that I think these people can catch her or kill her, but once it is exposed, but it is another failure, Your Highness may not be able to spare her this time, right......
Unexpectedly, the person behind her chased for a while and stopped chasing, so that she didn't have to just flee, and she could continue to keep an eye on the guards of King Chen's Mansion. After a while, he evaded two groups of guards, and found that there was still no movement, so he became even more emboldened and continued to search the courtyards that had not been searched. I was sure that I couldn't find anything, so I left King Chen's mansion.
……
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright and the city gate was opened, Du Fengsheng took a few internal supervisors of the Dust Purification Division to the outside of the city gate. entered the city, took advantage of the fact that there were no pedestrians on the road, and quickly went to Weiyang Palace to resume his life.
The emperor stayed in the Qianqing Palace last night and did not call anyone to come to sleep. I just got up at this moment, and I was having breakfast under the service of the palace daughter. Du Fengsheng and his entourage asked the guards at the gate of the North Palace to pass the message, and they got a reply after a short time. said that the emperor asked them to go to the Qianqing Palace quickly.
Du Fengsheng and the others got off the horse, but they didn't dare to gallop in the palace, so they could only walk quickly.
After the emperor finished breakfast, he heard Li Zhonggui outside the door say: "Your Majesty, Lord Du is asking to see you outside the courtyard." ”
"Biography."
Du Fengsheng has not been in court for a few days, because he is sick. But in fact, all the ministers who are clear in the center know that Du Fengsheng must have been sent out to do business.
"Your Majesty." As soon as Du Fengsheng entered the small study of the Qianqing Palace, he kowtowed heavily, and at first glance, he confessed his guilt.
Du Fengsheng was the leader of this operation, and several people from the Dust Purification Division were waiting outside the door.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”
"The guilty minister has failed to bring people back because of his majesty's mission. When Weichen and the Pure Dust Division arrived, those craftsmen were already ...... Destroyed. However, according to Weichen's understanding, there were eleven craftsmen who played the role of the general leader during the construction at that time and had close contacts with Lord Cai and Master Qu, but the other two were missing, and they may still be alive. ”
Du Fengsheng said this because he didn't want the emperor to blame him too much. In fact, it doesn't matter if you can catch all these craftsmen alive. As long as you can find out what happened at that time, it doesn't matter what method you use. And the evidence they have next can almost determine who did it. Determined who was the perpetrator, the truth, there is no need to investigate at all. Just think about it.
But the emperor said in a deep voice: "In this case, can the two of them be brought back?" ”
Du Fengsheng lowered his head: "No." The two men were nowhere to be seen, and even the neighbors didn't know when they left. Because he found an important thing in the house of a craftsman surnamed Fang, Weichen didn't dare to slack off, so he only bothered the two fathers-in-law of the Pure Dust Division to squat in their house, and brought the rest back to recover first. ”
"What did you find?"
"Back to Your Majesty, is it...... The waist card of the Prince's Mansion. ”
"Where's the waist card?"
"We have damaged Zhao Gonggong of the Pure Dust Division, and the waist card has been snatched away. At that time, three black-clothed people took advantage of the night to act, and after killing Zhao Gonggong and taking away the waist card, they also wanted to kill the ministers and others. When he was waiting for the ministers to use incense in the room, he was fortunately discovered by Gonggong Zhang. Seeing that they were invincible, these people were probably worried that their identities would be exposed, so they let go of the obstacle for a while and fled. There were two more sneak attacks on the way, but when they didn't succeed, they didn't dare to come again. Du Fengsheng replied truthfully, without any sincere fear.
These things that have happened alone are enough for the emperor to make a judgment. So the waist card was not taken back, but for the emperor, it was more effective than taking it back.
What's more, although the waist card of the prince's mansion was not taken back, they got another more useful waist card. When the emperor saw this waist card, he would definitely not think that he was making up a story in order to escape responsibility. Moreover, if you ask the people of the Pure Dust Division, you will also know the truth of these things that he said.
This time I was ordered by the emperor to do things, which is not a good job, but there will definitely be no big mistakes.
"But the last time they fought, before they fled, one of them fell from his waist......" Du Fengsheng said, taking out a waist card with the word "Chen" written on it in his arms, and presenting it to the desk in front of the emperor with both hands.
The emperor picked up this waist card, and the word "Chen" was particularly dazzling.
"How did it fall?" The emperor asked.
When they fled, Gonggong Ji saw a waist tag dangling from the man's waist, and his sword flew over. As soon as the man dodged, he happened to be cut through his pants by Ji Gonggong's sword, and the waist card and the money bags embroidered with 'Ping'an' that could be seen everywhere on a stall fell down. ”
Du Fengsheng took out another thing from his arms and carefully presented it to the desk: "This is a money bag." ”
The emperor looked at the money bag, and the embroidery and materials were indeed everywhere in the stalls. And it's very new, and it looks like it's new. When I opened it, it was just some broken silver, and I couldn't tell the person's identity at all. But the word "Chen" on this waist card is so obvious.
It seems that this money bag is just to show that this waist card is not deliberate, and deliberately hung on the waist. But the more so, the more it seems that this waist card falls deliberately.
If it was accidentally left behind when he was escaping, it would be too obvious, and it was obviously a false accusation. But when people find out and fall down on the thorn, the credibility of this waist card is more. This method of planting false accusations is not without subtlety.
Thinking about it, if no one came to look for the waist card of the prince's mansion after it was dropped, but was directly picked up and sent to him, he would not think that the prince did it. But helplessly, Lin'er was too cautious and wanted to remedy it, but she made mistakes again and again. In the end, he had no choice but to blame King Chen for self-preservation.
"I know, you stand down. Ming'er went to court as usual. "The emperor said.
"Yes." Du Fengsheng was ordered to retreat. But the emperor only said to let him retreat, not let him lead people to retreat. Therefore, the fathers-in-law of the Pure Dust Division did not get the order, and they still waited at the door.
As soon as Du Fengsheng walked to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Li Zhonggui summoned a few fathers-in-law of the Pure Dust Division to question. Naturally, he wanted to confirm the truth of his words.
Du Fengsheng was not worried at all, and walked towards the North Palace Gate frankly. What he said was true, and it was impossible for those fathers-in-law of the Pure Dust Division to tell lies to the emperor. So what does he have to worry about?
This time...... The prince was really planted. But he and the prince have no grievances, and the prince has always come, and he has not done anything evil to directly loot the people's fat and people's ointment. So it's not that he deliberately wants the prince to fall into trouble, but that the prince himself has done a lot of injustice and sent it to the door......
