Chapter 85

In the face of the prime minister's questioning, the warden did not show the slightest panic, he frowned slightly, pretended to be contemplative, and after a while, he looked at the emperor and the prime minister and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, there was indeed a person who came to the prison a few days ago, but he came with Princess Chenxi, Weichen saw that the princess was by his side, so naturally it was not good to say anything, but it didn't take long for Her Royal Highness the princess to leave the prison, and the person who came with the princess stayed in the prison, and it took two hours before leaving, Weichen is thinking about it now, This man has many suspicions," the warden stated with a stern and eloquent face

"Oh, Lord Han, I don't know what is wrong with this person, why do you think he is the assassin who poisoned King Han" King Yi pretended not to know, looked at the warden and asked in a deep voice, the warden spoke, he quickly understood what the former meant, and immediately stood up to add fuel to the fire

Seeing King Yi speak, the warden knew that the time had come, and immediately looked at the latter and said respectfully, "Back to His Royal Highness King Yi, Princess Chenxi visited King Han because of the deep relationship between the two brothers and sisters, but that person is not related to His Royal Highness King Han, and he didn't even know King Han before this, why did he come to the prison, Wei Chen thinks that this thief must have other plans" The warden said with a serious face

King Yi pretended not to know, and continued to cooperate with the warden to act, he pretended to be pondered and then looked at the latter and said, "Warden, maybe this person is Chenxi's friend, and it is reasonable for him to accompany Chenxi to visit her own brother in the prison, how can you judge that he is the murderer of King Han?"

King Yi said this, the warden immediately understood, he snorted lightly, looked at the latter and pretended to be indignant, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yi, with all due respect, if things are really as His Highness said, if the thief came to the prison to accompany the princess to visit relatives, why did he take the princess away and stay alone with King Han in prison for two hours, you must know that the two of them have never met, this is not an ulterior motive" The mastermind behind the scenes and the real murderer sang and harmonized, and the good drama of murder and blame was real

The emperor's eyes were cold, he didn't know that he had already put the target of his suspicion on the suspicious Ling Cang, and the prime minister Yang Guan was much calmer, he always felt that the performance of King Yi and the warden was indescribably strange, he thought for a moment and then looked at the warden and asked in a deep voice, "Warden, you said it yourself, that person had never met King Han before entering the prison, then I want to ask you, what motive did he have for murdering King Han without grievances with King Han, wouldn't he know that murdering the prince was a major crime of the Nine Clans?" Prime Minister Yang Guan said what he was thinking, and his insight was amazing, and he faintly felt that King Yi and the warden were deliberately deceiving the emperor and pushing the charge of murder on the person who entered the prison with Chenxi

I have to say that what Prime Minister Yang Guan said is indeed reasonable, King Yi and the warden were a little speechless for a while, the emperor's eyes were cold, and he looked at the warden and asked in a deep voice, "Who was the person who entered the prison with Chenxi that day, what is his identity, can you investigate clearly?"

The warden had already learned the identity of Ling Cang as the winner's remnant, and was about to speak, but he saw the hint from King Ya's eyes, King Ya signaled him not to speak yet, and the warden understood God and immediately changed his words, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen didn't pay too much attention to him at that time, so he didn't investigate the identity of this person, but he just knew that his relationship with Princess Chenxi and His Royal Highness King Enwang was extraordinary."

"Morning Dawn and King En's friend" the emperor whispered, his brows furrowed slightly, I don't know what he was thinking, the prime minister looked at the emperor with a serious face and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, it can't be said that this person is the assassin who poisoned King Han, the old minister suggested that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, don't convict an innocent person casually because of groundless suspicion, isn't this the ending that people with a heart are most willing to see" The prime minister's words were not good, especially when he said that a person with a heart clearly looked at the warden

After thinking for a moment, the emperor nodded, looked at His Highness, and everyone said in a deep voice, "What the prime minister said is not unreasonable, we can't convict an innocent person just because of speculation, but ......" The emperor said this, his eyes were cold, he paused, and continued, "We can't wronged innocent people, but we will never let the murderer go unpunished, so let's do it, Prime Minister, you continue to investigate the prison side, as for the person who went to the prison with Chenxi, don't convict until you find evidence, but King Yi, King Ya, you must find out the identity of this person as soon as possible, As I said, we will not wronged innocent people, but we will never let the real murderers go unpunished

The emperor ordered in a deep voice, he did not let go of his suspicions about Ling Cang, one is because King Han was killed, he is hostile to everyone suspected of murder, and another important reason is that he wants to be more than a member of the royal family, he hopes that it is this outsider who does not know King Han, so that at least emotionally he does not have to bear the grief of his son's cannibalism

The prime minister bowed his head and hugged his fist to the emperor and said, "The old minister obeys the order, Your Majesty is Shengming"

The warden observed his words, he couldn't figure out why King Ya had stopped him from continuing just now, as long as he told the emperor that Ling Cang was the identity of the winner's remnant, the emperor would unconditionally believe that it was the winner remnant who killed him, and it would be useless for Prime Minister Yang Guan to defend himself, so it was not in line with the previous plan of the second king, and he, the real murderer, could also get rid of suspicion

King Yi glanced at King Ya, there was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes, and he couldn't understand why King Ya did this, wasn't it contrary to their original plan

King Ya and King Yi glanced at each other, and didn't say much, King Ya was thoughtful, the reason why he prevented the warden from continuing to talk was because the warden's direct confession of the winner's remnants was too obvious, which would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the emperor and the prime minister, you must know that once the identity of the winner's remnants is confessed, it will definitely make the court earth-shattering, and the emperor and even the world will shake, this is the big chess he has planned for a long time, the court, many forces in the martial arts and even the emperor are in his layout, and now it has reached the stage of closing, How could he rest assured that the warden would play this game of chess, this person was just an insignificant pawn on his chessboard, and he was waiting for the opportunity to make his own move

Now, when the time has come, King Ya pretended to ponder, and after a while, he looked at the emperor and hugged his fists and said, "Father, there is something that the sons and daughters don't know whether to talk about or not."

The emperor was still thinking about something, King Ya's words pulled him back from his thoughts, and the emperor nodded, "Well, you can say anything about it" The emperor was still struggling with how to capture the assassin, and he didn't pay much attention to King Ya's words

King Ya thought for a moment, and did not directly explain to the emperor the identity of the winner's remnant, but took the lead in looking at Prime Minister Yang Guan, and asked the latter in a consultative manner, "Lord Yang, my imperial brother King Han was killed, what kind of person do you think has the most motive to kill?"

Hearing King Ya's question, Yang Guan first took a look, thought for a while, and then looked at the latter and replied, "Lao Chen thinks that killing people requires motives, and murdering the prince of the dynasty is a big crime of the Jiu clan, and the assassin is willing to take such a big risk to assassinate the king of Han, there are only two possibilities."

"Oh, the younger generation is only a shallow learner, and I also ask Lord Yang for advice, which two situations make the assassin willing to take the risk of the Nine Clans to assassinate the King of Han" King Ya said unexplained

Yang Guan was secretly surprised, why did King Ya suddenly ask him this kind of question above the court, this is not his style of acting, according to his understanding of King Ya, this son is thoughtful, the city is very deep, there must be some purpose, but this person looks like a sincere counselor in the court, in front of the emperor and the ministers, he can only look at the latter and reply, "I dare not advise, but according to the old minister's humble opinion, there are only two possibilities for those who are willing to take such a big risk to assassinate King Han, or the existence of King Han threatens the interests of the former, The assassin had no choice but to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and the second possibility is that the assassin had a bitter enmity with the king of Han, and the assassination was for revenge."

King Ya chuckled, looked at Yang Guan, and said respectfully, "What the Prime Minister said is reasonable, the younger generation has been taught, but it is just a ......" Speaking of this, King Ya paused, and turned to the latter at random, and continued, "Then I don't know what kind of motive the Prime Minister thinks the assassin poisoned King Han for?" King Ya pretended not to know, and still looked like he was asking for advice

Yang Guan's face was solemn, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the latter and replied, "Before the truth is investigated, the old minister does not dare to draw conclusions, but after King Han is imprisoned, most of the people who enter the prison are members of the royal family, I don't know if there will be anything hidden in this" Yang Guan said with some embarrassment, he didn't want to answer such a question, because from his judgment, King Han's killing was most likely done by someone from the royal family, and he didn't believe that King Han's assassination was an enemy seeking revenge, that is to say, behind King Han's assassination was actually a dispute between the crown princes, This is a taboo in the court, and it is also the last thing the emperor wants to see, so Prime Minister Yang Guan does not want to answer such a question

The emperor's face changed visibly, and his expression became complicated, and although the emperor's answer was vague, it still touched the most sensitive nerves in his heart

In the face of the emperor's taboo, King Ya did not show much taboo, as if he had foreseen today's scene a long time ago, he thought for a moment and then chuckled and looked at Yang Pavilion and said indifferently, "I understand what the Prime Minister meant, but I don't think that the assassination of the imperial brother was done by the royal family, and the imperial brother will never die in the battle for the crown prince" King Ya said sharply, and said bluntly in the face of the emperor's taboo

His words caused an uproar in the court, and the voices of the ministers resounded in the main hall, and even the emperor was attracted by King Ya's words, and his face was full of shock

Yang Guan's eyes tightened, and he looked at King Ya and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

King Ya looked calm, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Yang Pavilion and said indifferently, "As the Prime Minister said, killing people requires motives, and Xiao Wang also agrees with what the Prime Minister said, there are only two situations in which the imperial brother is assassinated, either his existence threatens the interests of the assassins, and the assassins kill people in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, or the King of Han and the assassin have a common hatred, and the assassins kill people to avenge their hatred, and according to the Prime Minister's words, after the King of Han was imprisoned, in addition to the mysterious person who went to the prison with Chenxi that day, All the others are members of the royal family, so the prime minister thinks that my royal brother Han Wang died in the battle for the crown prince, right?" said King Ya casually

The prime minister's face was solemn, and he did not answer King Ya's question, but chose to remain silent

King Ya didn't care, but said to himself, "I think the ministers above the court, including my father, have the same opinion on this matter as the prime minister," King Ya said bluntly, not caring at all that the topic he was talking about touched the taboo of the court

There was silence above the main hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on King Ya, the emperor's face was heavy, and he looked at King Ya and said in a deep voice, "You go on"
