Chapter 217: Who's Setting Up the Bureau
At this moment, the emperor had recovered from the panic he had just had. His gloomy eyes slowly slid over the two sons in front of him, one with a gloomy face and deep eyes, and the other with a slightly frowning brow and a worried face.
"Wechen see Your Majesty." At this time, several imperial doctors who rushed over after hearing the news saluted in unison.
The emperor retracted his gaze, "When is it, what kind of salute is there, let's see who is hurt." ”
"Yes." When several imperial doctors heard this, they hurriedly scattered.
Wu Qi, the head of the Tai Hospital, stepped forward and was about to check on the emperor, but the emperor frowned and stopped, "I'm fine, you can also take a look at the wound for King Qin." ”
Chu Mu was stunned, and then said, "Father, let Imperial Doctor Wu check it on you, it doesn't matter if your son has a little injury." ”
"What a small injury, so much blood has been shed, can it be called a small injury?" The emperor said with a calm face.
Just at the last moment, it was Chu Muzhi who held the sword that stabbed at him in his bare hand, and the emperor still had palpitations when he thought about it.
Chu Muzhi had to postpone it any longer, and at this time, Concubine Shen's voice suddenly sounded.
"Mu Zhi, this is the emperor's heart, you must not refuse, besides, if it weren't for you, I am afraid that the emperor, Sister Yan and the palace will not escape."
Obviously, there was not only one person who came to the rescue, except for Chu Zhu, but on the contrary, Concubine Shen did not mention a word to the prince.
"Imperial Doctor Wu, what are you still doing in a daze, and you don't bandage King Qin's wounds." Concubine Yan raised her eyes and looked at Wu Qi.
Wu Qi came back to his senses suddenly, "Yes, Weichen obeys the order." With that, he hurriedly walked towards Chu Muzhi.
"Your Majesty, there is a living mouth here." At this time, Gu An's slightly excited voice suddenly sounded.
Soon, Gu An pressed the black-clothed assassin in front of the emperor.
"Say! Who are you commanding? The emperor stood up with a calm face.
The assassin woke up slowly, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he wanted to bite the poison hidden in his mouth and kill himself, but Gu An finally grabbed a live mouth, how could he die so easily, and then pinched his jaw, and reached out to pull out the poison hidden in his mouth, "If you want to die, it's not so easy!" Say it! Who instructed you, and who helped you to enter the palace! ”
The palace was so heavily guarded that it would be impossible for them to sneak in if there was no one to help them secretly.
Catching a glimpse of the assassin's death-like face, Chu Muzhi sneered and walked over with his feet raised, "Lord Gu, seeing that these assassins are the dead soldiers who are raised, I am afraid that it is only delusional for him to confess to the people behind the scenes." ”
As soon as he heard Chu Muzhi's words, Gu An couldn't help it at the moment, raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin said this, did he make Weichen give up asking the murderer behind the scenes?" ”
This seems to imply that Chu Muzhi is the murderer behind the scenes.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the emperor looked at Chu Muzhi with a little more unclear meaning in his eyes.
"This king is just telling the truth, Lord Gu is too anxious to put the responsibility on this king like this." Chu Muzhi smiled coldly.
"Then what should I do according to His Royal Highness King Qin?" Gu An raised his eyebrows and said.
"Lord Gu will really shirk his responsibility, this king is just a wake-up call to Lord Gu, hoping that Lord Gu will start to track down the people behind the scenes from elsewhere, but Lord Gu is fine, just push all this on this king, dare to love, this king is also the errand of Dali Temple and the Royal Forest Army?" Chu Muzhi retorted with a sneer.
"You ......" Gu An couldn't help but be speechless for a while, seeing that the emperor's face was getting more and more gloomy, his right eyelid jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly saluted Chu Muzhi, "His Royal Highness King Qin, just now the lower official lost his words, and the lower official was also anxious for a while, please don't be surprised." Ignorance...... What is His Royal Highness King Qin's opinion? ”
"How dare this king have any high opinions? This king just opened his mouth to say a word, and he almost got into a commotion, what else does this king dare to say? Chu Muzhi said, turned around and walked to the side and stood still.
Listening to Chu Muzhi's words, the emperor frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart faded a lot.
There is little chance that the commander behind this nocturnal assassination is the king of Qin, after all, the assassin is coming at him, if he succeeds, then not only will he not get benefits, but he will lose his restraint, but he is afraid that the prince will immediately take action to get rid of him after he ascends the throne. Thinking about it like this, he felt that the concern on his face just now despite the danger seemed very real, on the other hand, Gu An, he was too eager to push all this onto King Qin, which made people feel strange.
was beaten by Chu Muzhi's words, Gu An's face was embarrassed, and when he didn't know how to step down, the emperor was suspicious of himself, and then the crown prince Chu Yanzhi suddenly spoke.
"Isn't it easy to get a person to speak?" Chu Yanzhi glanced at Chu Mu with a side eye, smiled coldly, and then walked up to the black-clothed assassin, raised his foot and stepped on the back of the man's hand fiercely, and grinded it a few times.
"Ah......h
Several timid concubines in the hall heard this voice, coupled with the fright just now, some people couldn't help crying.
"Princess." Biyun leaned behind Xiao Xiwei in fear.
This sound instantly made Chu Yanzhi's eyes look over.
Xiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and intersected with Chu Yan's eyes, and her watery eyes crossed a trace of darkness, and then, she moved her gaze to the three people on the throne.
Emperor, Yan Guifei, Shen Guifei.
With just one glance, Chu Yan understood it at once.
That's right, this assassination is likely to have been planned by one of the three of them, in order to confirm his charge of rebellion, even if it can't be confirmed, then Gu An will be questioned for this unfavorable escort!
Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, a trace of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, and he stepped on the assassin's hand harder and harder, "What, you still refuse to say it?" Someone, go and pass on the people of the Penal Division! Let them pull out all his nails piece by piece, and then pour salt water on them, and Hongu wants to see how hard his bones are! As he spoke, he jerked his feet away.
"Prince, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, is it inappropriate for you to do this?" Chu Muzhi frowned, as if he couldn't bear it.
Chu Yanzhi smiled coldly, raised his eyebrows, and swept towards Chu Muzhi with a sharp gaze, "Eighth brother, is this sympathetic to the assassin who assassinated his father?" ”
"What do you mean, Brother Huang? The courtier just thinks that it is not easy to see blood on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve! After that, he turned his head and saluted to the emperor on the throne, "Father, the son feels that tonight's matter cannot be found out in a while, so it is better to let the Dali Temple temporarily suppress the people first, and then discuss it after the Lantern Festival." What do you think? ”
The emperor frowned, and before he could speak, Chu Yanzhi's voice couldn't wait to sound.
"Bloody? Is there less blood shed in Zichen Hall tonight? If the real culprit is not traced in time, I am afraid that more blood will be shed in the future! ”
Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, especially the anger faintly ignited in Chu Yan's eyes and his insistence on tracking down the murderer behind the scenes, the emperor couldn't help but feel a trace of suspicion in his heart, could it be that it wasn't him?
For a while, the emperor only felt doubts in his heart, and at that moment, his eyes couldn't help sinking, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, then let's investigate." The person who passed on the Punishment Division. ”
Everyone knows what will happen next, but in this situation, no one dares to say leave.
The men from the Penal Division soon came.
The ladies were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at it, and even Xiao Xiwei frowned and turned away.
The black-clothed assassin was already dying of pain, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the pliers in his hand held by Tai Lin of the Punishment Division, and when it was like white paper underneath, large drops of sweat broke down from his forehead.
"Ah......h
The miserable voice sounded again in the Zichen Palace.
"Woo ......" Some female relatives were so frightened by this scene that they couldn't help crying, even Biyun was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the whole person was nestled in Xiao Xiwei's arms, not daring to move at all.
I don't know how many nails were pulled, and finally the man couldn't help but shout loudly, "I recruited, I recruited...... I've recruited everything......"
Hearing this, Chu Yanzhi's eyes lit up suddenly.
The women who had been crying also stopped crying and turned their eyes back to the assassin who was lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Tell me, who ordered you?" Chu Yanzhi stepped forward and stared at the man coldly.
"Yes...... It's ......"
"Tell me quickly, who ordered you!" Gu An also couldn't wait to ask.
"Small...... The little one doesn't know......" The man pinched his bloody right hand, endured the pain, and spoke out for a long time.
"How could you not know! Are you fooling us? Gu An couldn't help it, and raised his foot and stepped on the man's fingers that had been pulled out.
"Ah......h
The assassin screamed, and then fell to the ground with his head tilted.
"What are you doing!" Chu Yan pushed Gu An away, and then squatted down to probe the assassin's snort, and seeing that he still had a trace of breath left, his tense heart couldn't help but relax slightly.
At this time, Gu An hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Prince, he's still alive!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, Chu Yanzhi's ruthless eyes swept over.
I thought that he had been with the emperor for so many years, and he should have a long mind, who would have thought that he would be such a guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures. If the Assassin were to die, wouldn't it be just right for the men to splash sewage on his head?
Touching the ruthlessness in Chu Yan's eyes, Gu An's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and then retreated in disdain.
"Bring him wine and wake him up." Chu Yanzhi coldly retracted his gaze and said.
Soon, the Assassin was awakened with a splash of wine.
"Don't you say it, do you want someone to pull out the nail of your other hand again?" Chu Yanzhi was condescending, looking down at the man coldly.
"No...... Not ......"
"Someone!"
I said...... I say it all...... I really don't know what the curtain is, the mastermind behind it...... I'm just a death row prisoner in Dali Temple, yes...... Someone released me......" The assassin shuddered as he spoke, fainting in pain as he finished speaking.
"Good! Good! That's nice! The emperor, who had been silently staring at Chu Yanzhi's interrogation, suddenly stood up a few times.
The loud sound made everyone's faces turn white, and they all knelt on the ground.
The emperor's gloomy eyes swept over everyone, and the last kick kicked the case in front of him over, and the gloomy voice resounded in the empty hall, "Come on, bring Chang Lu of Dali Temple immediately!" ”
Chu Yan's eyes instantly surged with a dark tide, how could Chang Lu be involved? Is this also a bureau? Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at Xiao Xiwei next to him.
And at this moment, Xiao Xi's slightly snow-white face also surged with disbelief, and even a little uneasiness in his eyes.
With just one glance, Chu Yanzhi's heart suddenly sank.
Even she noticed that something was wrong, could it be that he really fell into this game? However, who will be the person who laid it out?
Emperor?
Yan Guifei?
Shen Guifei?
Still is...... Chu Muzhi?
Or ......
This game was set up by them together......
