Chapter 319: Spies
People's thoughts are often like seeds planted in the pasture, dormant under the cold soil in winter, but only a spring breeze can break through the soil immediately.
Tang Huaide kills people like this, Jiu'er is like this, and even the eldest princess on the dragon chariot is the same.
If Tang Huaide had not been encouraged by others, even if the idea of killing people had been dormant in his heart for a long time, he would not dare to take action after all.
It is precisely with the pillow wind of Jiu'er Fan and some unwritten promises that Tang Huaide's long-buried seeds can take root and sprout.
At this time, Jiu'er was full of people who thought that Tang Huai'an's case was over, what he did behind the scenes was not involved, and the seed of fear was also buried in the corner of his heart.
But the appearance of the eldest grandson, as well as the simple sentence just now, were like that "spring breeze", which made fear fill Jiu'er's heart again.
As for the eldest princess......
The eldest grandson couldn't see through her inner thoughts.
"Abetment? Do you have proof?"
The eldest princess took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Jiu'er looked at the eldest grandson with a nervous expression, deeply afraid that he had already gained something from Tang Huaide.
But after hesitating for a moment, the eldest grandson shook his head and said, "There is no direct evidence, this is just a speculation of the small people, dare to say it, please ask Your Highness to judge."
When the eldest princess heard this, the corners of her mouth curled, and she said with interest: "Wangcai, this palace has always thought that it has a high opinion of you, but now I find that I still underestimate you."
The eldest grandson stood up and pretended to be frightened and said that he didn't dare.
The eldest princess waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down, and then said with a slightly serious expression, "If you just tell this to the palace, then the value you show is not enough."
The eldest grandson understood what the eldest princess meant.
At the end of the eldest grandson's last meeting with the eldest princess, she said the same thing.
"There is no direct evidence, but there are some clues to ......."
Of course, the eldest grandson did not dare to directly tell Tang Huaide's testimony, and at that time, who knew whether the eldest princess would deal with Jiu'er or herself first.
"First of all, the first point is that Tang Huaide's character does not match his motive for killing, so Xiaomin suspects that someone instigated it. Second, with Tang Huaide's ability, even if he finally completed a seemingly perfect murder, with the experience of those veteran investigators in Dali Temple, it is not difficult to solve such a case. Unless someone behind him sheltered Tang Huaide and helped him cordon off the scene......
"Didn't you say it before, the Holy One also doesn't want the truth of the case to be revealed, in this case, it makes sense for the Holy One to secretly manipulate Dali Temple." The eldest princess said.
"I thought so before, but when I got to the autumn hunting ground, I found out that it wasn't ......."
"Oh?"
"Tang Huai'an's case directly involves the interests of the clan nobles, and this group is a force that the Holy Lord must win over in the Autumn Hunt, so the Holy Lord will definitely not dare to act on the case so obviously."
Before the autumn hunt, the eldest grandson thought that the nobles of the clan were also within the scope of the emperor's suppression, but at this time, it can be seen from the situation on the autumn hunting ground that the nobles of the clan led by the prince Tang are also a big help to the emperor in the autumn hunting ground.
In the autumn hunting grounds, the three teams are getting better, and the range of hunting is gradually expanding, so friction between the teams is indispensable.
The emperor's red dragon banner is like a clear goal, pointing at the peak, and marching all the way.
And the Qingluan Banner led by the eldest princess was just the opposite, because all the members of the team were slow to move because of the heavy armor, and the Zijiao Banner was even more intentional or unintentional in the front to balance it, making the distance between them and the Red Dragon Banner wider and wider.
The eldest princess looked at the eldest grandson with a smile and asked, "It seems that you mean to say that I am the one who instigated the people behind it?"
The eldest grandson was not frightened by the eldest princess's words, "At least it's your person."
The eldest princess was a little surprised, but she didn't expect the eldest grandson to dare to answer her so bluntly at this time.
"Then you came to see this palace to blackmail me with this matter?!" There was some anger in the eldest princess's tone.
"Your Highness is angry, although Xiaomin is stupid, he is not so stupid as to think that he can threaten the eldest princess
Your Highness."
The eldest princess's face improved slightly, and she sneered, "Wangcai, you are humble, where are you stupid...... But don't be too smart!"
The eldest grandson said yes, and then said, "One of the purposes of Xiaomin's visit to His Royal Highness this time is to find out the female trunk around him for the eldest princess."
"Female?"
The eldest grandson didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly, "It's the eldest girl next to the eldest princess, Jiu'er!"
"Wangcai, don't spew blood!" Jiu'er's face turned hideous with anger and fear, and he pointed at his eldest grandson and shouted.
Of course, the eldest grandson would not be frightened by Jiu'er, who was already in chaos, and immediately analyzed: "Through Tang Huaide's interrogation, we have mastered your improper relationship with Tang Huaide."
Hearing this, Jiu'er's face turned red, she was ashamed and angry, and she was speechless for a while.
"At first, I was very curious, as the eldest princess's side, although you have a status, you have never seen any young talents on weekdays, even if the court officials see you, you have to treat you politely, why do you fall in love with Tang Huaide's straw bag and do things with him."
"After that, I paid attention to the time when you got acquainted with Tang Huaide, just after Tang Huai'an got the autumn hunting errand!"
Jiu'er knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, you are wronged, the slave maid is loyal to Your Highness, and she has always obeyed His Highness's orders to do things, and she has no second thoughts."
The eldest princess looked at the eldest grandson expressionlessly, and said bluntly: "Since they are all smart people, then there are some things that the palace will clearly say, in Tang Huai'an's case, the palace did provide some help to Tang Huaide, and Jiu'er also did what I asked."
Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but before she could relax her heart, the eldest grandson continued, "Your Highness, don't worry, please listen to Xiaomin."
"Jiu'er did do what the eldest princess ordered, but if my guess is correct, the eldest princess, you really started to meddle in Tang Huai'an's case when you ordered Jiu'er to secretly see Yun Xuezhi."
The eldest princess acquiesced without speaking, and Jiu'er on the side had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Jiu'er, when you first approached Tang Huaide, you actually wanted to get close to Tang Huai'an through Tang Huaide, and the purpose was to facilitate the bereaved family's actions in the autumn hunting ground. It's just that you didn't expect Tang Huai'an to run into the arrangement of the bereaved family in the autumn hunting ground, so you want to lend Tang Huaide's hand to get rid of Tang Huai'an."
"I...... The slave just wanted to do something for His Highness...... During one of your breaks, you mentioned that Tang Huai'an had discovered the arrangement of the bereaved clan, which was not conducive to what you and the Holy Lord were plotting, and it gave you a lot of headaches...... Jiu'er explained in a panic.
"That's a good point. At that time, His Highness still had a camp with the Holy One, and wanted to lay out a pocket to wipe out the bereaved family......
"However, you deliberately made a belly pocket of the silk that the eldest princess had written a poem and left it with Tang Huaide. Isn't the purpose to attract Dali Temple to set its sights on the eldest princess, force the eldest princess to become the target of the public, and remove the Qingluan Banner from the autumn hunting team!"
"It's just that you didn't expect Tang Huaide to leave the spirit weapon of the remnants at the scene of the crime in the end, which makes you very panicked, you are afraid that Dali Temple will find out the remnants behind it. That's why you have to use the name of the eldest princess to order Dali Temple to block the scene."
"And what you didn't expect was that the situation in the imperial capital changed rapidly, first of all, the Holy Lord intentionally or unintentionally concealed the traces of the remnants, and secondly, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess actually stood on the opposite side of the emperor and became an ally with the remnants!"
The eldest grandson finally broke through this layer of window paper, but the eldest princess was expressionless, making it impossible to see through her thoughts.
Jiu'er is worthy of being the Zhizhu of Xiyan Palace, and even now, he still maintains a trace of sanity, looking for loopholes in the eldest grandson's analysis.
"Wangcai, this is just your analysis, if I am the female cadre of the remnant clan according to what you said, I hinted to him when I met with Yun Xuezhi in secret that time, Tang Huai'an's death was not a simple murder, and it may be implicated in Qiu Hunt, that is, the remnant clan. Does that make sense?"
"That's my biggest doubt. At that time, I couldn't figure it out, Your Highness, you are a smart person, even if you have a huge power, but the Holy Lord has been working hard in the Imperial Dynasty for decades, and the foundation is solid, even if you borrow the hands of the bereaved family, it is a risky move to pry the throne in ten places......
"Unless! You've found a more reliable helper, so that you can fight for the throne in the United Clan."
Speaking of which, the eldest grandson has no scruples, revealing the original appearance of this autumn hunting game little by little.
"You want to know who this person is, but you haven't finished talking about Jiu'er, and this palace is still waiting." The eldest princess said in a non-fluctuating tone.
"The attitude of the Holy Lord on Tang Huai'an's case has been clearly seen by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the eldest princess, you ordered Jiu'er to meet with Yun Xuezhi secretly and provide him with guidance, which is equivalent to openly working against the Holy Lord, in order to see how many people in the Qing Dynasty are following you through Tang Huai'an's case."
"And seeing clearly the attitude of the saint and the eldest princess, Jiu'er is basically sure that Tang Huai'an's case will inevitably involve the bereaved family. In this case, why not use the spiritual weapon of the remnant clan in Tang Huai'an's hand to muddy the water of the entire imperial capital, and at the same time, he can also use Tang Huai'an's identity as a clan relative to contaminate the clan nobles and the remnants, so that the cooperation between the saint and the clan nobles will be self-defeating!"
Jiu'er couldn't help but tremble when she knelt on the ground when she heard this, and the thoughts in her heart at this time were the same as Tang Huaide in a desperate situation.
"He's the devil!"
The eldest princess looked at Jiu'er again, her eyes were as cold as an iceberg for thousands of years.
"Jiu'er, how many years have you served this palace?"
When Jiu'er heard this, she was so frightened that she couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Ten ......".
"Ten...... Nine ......"
"It's been nineteen years, you've been smart, but you're not smart enough......
"After serving Hongu for 19 years, you don't know what kind of person Hongu is......
"Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness spares your life, and the slave maid is doing this for you......
The eldest princess no longer looked at Jiu'er on the ground, but stared at the curtain behind the eldest grandson, as if she was in a daze, as if she was talking to someone.
"Although this palace is now cooperating with the bereaved family, this palace can't tolerate betrayal, so you still have to die!"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, Jiu'er on the ground suddenly struggled in pain, and died of anger after a while.
