Chapter 10 There are two clues

In a blink of an eye, it was the January period that Emperor Xuanwu said, but the murderer only committed the crime on that day, and since then, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and has never appeared again. No one can find it, and no one can find it, which is the conclusion of this case.

Of course, Emperor Xuanwu was not satisfied with such a result, and he also knew that King Rong and King Chen had made a lot of efforts in the past month, but this matter was like a sword hanging above his head, and he didn't know when the sword would fall.

Emperor Xuanwu looked at King Rong with a complicated expression, his fingers lightly clasped the dragon case, and the knocking sound hit people's hearts one by one. He thought for a while, then looked at Jing Rong who was standing on the side, pondered for a moment, and said, "King Rong is the most responsible for this matter, although you are my son, but I can't just expose it." ”

"The son-in-law is not in good control, and he is unable to find out the real culprit, so please punish my father." King Rong's resolute face was carved like an axe and chisel, and there was no loosening because of Emperor Xuanwu's words. Expressionless kneeling on the ground, willing to accept the punishment. He didn't know that his father had a lot of criticism about his current reputation in the court, and it could be seen that King Chen and the Mu family were married, and he had the intention to suppress himself.

Jing Rong's eyes turned, he looked at Emperor Xuanwu, who looked a little dark, and said with a fist: "The emperor's nephew is responsible for this matter, the Praetorian Guards guard the safety of the palace, and the Gyeonggi Guard maintains the safety of the imperial city, and the two divisions should complement each other and take care of each other." But the Praetorian Guards died tragically, but the Gyeonggi Guards who patrolled had no way of knowing, and the emperor's nephew, as the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard, was responsible for the heavy responsibility and should be punished. King Rong has just taken over the Praetorian Guard, and it is understandable that the poor dispatch in many places is also understandable, so please ask the emperor to take it lightly. ”

"Father, in the past month, King Rong and King Chen have been tracking down the murderer, forgetting to sleep and eat, but the murderer is too cunning, and he has not left even a trace of it, and they have tried all kinds of methods after tracking it for so many days. Although I haven't found anything now, I guess I've done my best. King Rui glanced at him, his long eyelashes twitched, and pleaded.

Emperor Xuanwu retracted his fingers, his face twitched, and he said coldly: "The Praetorian Guards are the last barrier of the palace, if even they are so unbearable, how can I sit back and relax in the palace?" After a pause, he glanced at the three of them, and said gently: "King Rui's words are also quite reasonable, although the investigation is not effective, but there is no merit and hard work, this time I will send you lightly." King Rong will be punished for one year, King Chen will be punished for six months, and then next time, I will deal with you together! ”

"Thank you, Father."

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded, his eyes slanted, and he met Mu Zhaolin's eyes, and said, "Zuo Xiang's eldest son is also twenty this year, right?" I remember that the kid had a good martial arts. ”

Mu Zhaolin arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the dog is double ten this year, and he is an unsuccessful weapon, and he only knows how to deal with those weapons every day, and he has no interest at all." ”

Xuanwu Emperor Lang Lang smiled and said, "Why should Aiqing be humble, a child like Ling Lang is the hope of my Great Qin Dynasty, is it like you who only know how to dance and make ink?" In this way, let Ling Lang go to the Praetorian Guard tomorrow to find an errand, and then follow King Rong by his side, let King Rong take him more, and in the future, he will go into battle like King Rong to kill the enemy and defend the Great Qin River and Mountain. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, if the dog can match the little thumb of Lord Rong, it can be regarded as his birth." Mu Zhaolin was humble in his words, but he smiled coldly in his heart.

After the end of the early dynasty, everyone left the Longhuan Hall one after another, and King Rong suddenly pressed Jing Rong's shoulder.

Jing Ronghu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is there something wrong with the fourth brother?" ”

"Thank you for today, if it weren't for your responsibility, I'm afraid I, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, wouldn't be able to keep it." King Rong has always been cold and arrogant, and he never takes the initiative to talk to people, and it is surprising that he can say this today.

"It's not all your fault, so why bother you to bear it? Fortunately, the emperor only punished you and me. Jing Rong patted his hand and said.

King Rong took his hands off his shoulders, folded his hands behind his back, walked side by side with him, looked at the various courtiers under the nine-zhang jade, and said, "Xu I have caused you to be a burden." ”

Jing Rong smiled lightly, but just fell on Mu Zhaolin, who was surrounded by several ministers, his father-in-law was really not simple. After such a big incident, both he and King Rong were damaged, and he was the only one who placed his son next to King Rong. And the chess piece that was planted, King Rong couldn't move it easily.

After returning to the palace, Jing Rong plunged into the study. Listening to the star-chasing, he let him leave the study after reporting the investigation of Mu Zhaolin one by one for nearly a month.

Jing Rong took the information in his hand and fell into deep thought, except for recruiting staff, Mu Zhaolin didn't make any moves. He has always suspected that Mu Zhaolin has dealings with people in the rivers and lakes, and several ministers who have opposed him in the court in the past two years have all died, and the deaths are very ugly, but the strange thing is that the dead often seem to die with a smile on their faces and willingly, which is exactly the same as the death of the three hundred Praetorian Guards. Although the previous cases were all unsolved due to the lack of evidence, no one thought of linking the death of the three hundred Praetorian Guards with the death of the minister. The beneficiary of these two things is Mu Zhaolin, isn't the answer obvious?

But how does he relate to people? Was it discussed in advance or did they have some secret way of meeting?

And what surprised him even more in this information was that his princess did not stay in the Mu Mansion all the time, but returned to the mansion shortly before she got married, so where did she go before?

Everything is like a mystery, and if you want to break through and seek a breakthrough, it seems that the only way to work on Mu Xuefu is to work hard.

Jing Rong folded the information in his hand, instantly turned into powder, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, with a wave of his hand, Jinpa gently fell to the ground, he glanced at the powder on the ground, and called out: "Zhou Cheng, let people clean up the study, you go to the treasury to get some exquisite playthings, let's go see the princess." ”

Where did Mu Xuefu think that this Prince Chen would come uninvited, the more he wanted to stay away from him, the more this person came up. She took a sip of tea, looked at the few treasures Zhou Cheng was holding, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, if the prince has something, you don't have to accompany the concubine here." ”

Jing Rong smiled in his heart, is this an eviction order to himself? He looked around the main hall and said, "This king's affairs are done, so I came to accompany the princess." Are you still used to living here? If you feel bad, the king will set aside another place for the princess to live. ”

"It's very good here, the prince doesn't have to bother." His gaze swept lightly over his face, Mu Xuefu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and asked, "Is the case in charge of the prince completed?" ”

Jing Rong retracted his gaze, looked directly at her, and said, "There are no clues, where to start?" Although the princess does not leave the house, her ears and eyes are very clear. He tried to find a crack in her face, but he saw that she had always been as plain as water, without the slightest ripple.
