Chapter 397: Misfortune Leads to the East

Why do so many innocent people die in a case of disgust?

The answer is brutal.

The case happened in Taiji Palace, on the side of Li Zhi's couch, and it was not possible to close the case by simply killing a few first offenders.

The so-called wrath of the Son of Heaven, ambushing millions of corpses, this sentence is by no means an exaggeration. The emperor really has the strength to do it.

Once the incident happens, the first person to bear the brunt is the palace people.

Whether guilty or innocent, kill first.

First of all, there are people who have intersections with the main culprits involved in the case, those who know Guo Fan and the others, and those who have had a relationship with the two, even if they just politely greeted each other, they are also considered accomplices.

It's just so unreasonable, and in a society ruled by man, there is no reason to talk about it at all.

This is almost a brutal indiscriminate massacre, with two purposes, one is that Li Zhi has lost his sense of security and must personally clear the king's side.

The second is to use the heads of these innocent people to deter the fish who have slipped through the net with bad intentions, and let them know that the power of the emperor's power and royal law is useless, no matter how deep it is hidden, it is useless, and it is better to kill the wrong one than let it go.

Ninety-six corpses were not cold, and Li Qinzai only felt a chill in his back.

In the ancient environment of man-rule, Li Qinzai can't say that Li Zhi did wrong, after all, the values of ancient and modern times are different, the Son of Heaven is the god of the world, what is the point of killing a few mortals?

"Uncle Li, can you judge the result just now? Xia Guan felt that it was better to close the case as soon as possible, otherwise more and more people would die, and hard-hearted people like Xia Guan couldn't bear to watch it. Song Sen sighed bitterly.

Li Qinzai shook his head vigorously, trying to make his mind clearer.

"I interrogated Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen just now, and as expected, neither of them pleaded guilty and insisted that they were wronged."

Song Sen sneered: "Stubborn things, give them a few powerful torture tools, you have to recognize them if you don't recognize them!" ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "It's simple to ask them to confess, but if they are beaten into tricks, the causes and consequences will not be strung together, take two confessions full of loopholes and hand them to Your Majesty, you and I will not only be useless, but will be asked for the crime of bullying the king." ”

Song Sen thought about it and thought it was the same, but he still sighed faintly and said: "If the two of them don't admit their guilt, the clue will be broken, where do we start?" ”

Li Qinzai said: "I looked at the expressions and eyes of Guo Fan and the others just now, and I intuitively thought that they were not lying, maybe they really didn't do it. There is another hidden story behind this case, I suspect that there is a fish hidden in the palace. ”

Song Sen subconsciously asked, "Who?" ”

Li Qinzai glanced at him with caring eyes for the mentally retarded, and said: "'Fish that slipped through the net' means that this fish has slipped through the net and disappeared, if I knew who he was and was already caught, would I still call him 'the fish that slipped through the net'?" ”

Song Sen smiled.

It's a little embarrassing, but the cheekiness can overcome it.

Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "I don't expect you to study more, eat more pig brain walnuts or something, and make up for the form." ”

Song Sen smacked his lips and said, "Uncle Li said this...... Why is it a bit of a mockery? Are you mocking me? ”

Li Qinzai looked up at the sky, nodded after a while, and said affirmatively: "Yes." ”

Song Sen was silent for a long time, and then said: "Uncle Li is really ...... is straightforward and selfless, and when making friends, you should make friends like Li Xianbo, so that this life is not in vain. ”

Li Qinzai smiled, Nima can forcibly make a detour and shoot a sycophant, Song Sen can definitely eat four dishes in his life.

"Let's get down to business, the Hundred Horsemen also have people in the palace, right? Send someone to inquire, Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen have enemies in the palace, big hatreds and small grudges, as long as the people and things related to the hatred and conflict, they will be checked by me. ”

"Uncle Li suspects that they were framed by the enemies in the palace? Whether it is the technique of disgust with victory, or the rune paper puppets and magic weapons hidden in Fan Yunxian's residence, they were all quietly planted by someone? ”

Li Qinzai snorted and said: "The two people were interrogated today, judging by their expressions, it seems that they were really wronged, let's check it again, what Your Majesty needs is not to admit guilt, but to find out the real mastermind." ”

Song Sen bowed and clenched his fists: "Yes, the lower officials will do it, and there will be results tomorrow." ”

…………

Taiji Palace, Chengxiang Palace.

The eunuchs and maids standing in the palace have been dismissed, leaving only the Empress Wu and a palace maid.

The palace maid had just returned from outside the palace, and she was standing in front of the Empress Wu with her head down.

"The secretary of the ministry Shangshu Li Yifu returned to the queen, this matter is extremely dangerous, Guo Xingzhen has a close relationship with the queen, and there is no reason to be tired of winning, and the Son of Heaven must have suspicion of the queen......"

If the frost was in the back of the martial arts, he said coldly: "What nonsense Li Yifu said, don't you know if it's fierce or not?" What this palace wants is for him to enter Dali Temple immediately, meet Guo Xingzhen and Fan Yunxian, ask the truth, and secretly put an end to this matter. ”

The palace maid knelt on the ground in panic and said: "Yes, the slave maid has conveyed the queen's edict to Li Shangshu word for word, and this evening, Li Shangshu has entered Dali Temple to see Guo Xingzhen and Fan Yunxian. ”

Empress Wu couldn't help but sit up straight and said, "Have they ever confessed?" Have you ever climbed this palace? ”

The palace maid shook her head and said: "The two insisted that they were wronged, today Xu Youxiang personally interrogated the two, and later Weinan County Bo Li Qinzai was also ordered to interrogate the two, Guo Fan and the two did not confess, and refused to admit their guilt." ”

Empress Wu frowned: "Could it be that Guo Fan was really wronged?" Who dares to be so bold in the palace that he curses His Majesty with the technique of disgust and death? ”

The palace maid paused for a moment and said: "Li Shangshu also said that no matter what the truth is, the most troublesome thing at the moment is that even if they are wronged, with Xu Youxiang's ability, I am afraid that sooner or later one day they will be beaten into a move, and if they really bite the queen at that time, it will be a big trouble." ”

A trace of panic quickly flashed in Empress Wu's eyes.

If this is the case, then Li Zhi will be abolished, there is no position for the queen, how can she and the mother and daughter sisters of the martial family have a way to live?

How did Queen Xiao Shufei die in the first place, she knows better than anyone else.

In the extremely cruel palace of fighting, those who lose power are not only losing power, but also losing their lives.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Empress Wu tried to calm down and said: "Does Li Yifu have a countermeasure?" ”

The palace maid said: "Li Shangshu said, while Guo Fan and the others have not confessed, it is better for us to start first, let the two of them make a good confession, and bite the mastermind of the art of disgust with victory to others, if the two have the same tone, the case will be closed." ”

Empress Wu's expression was a little gloomy, and she said: "Yes, it is worthy of the scheming Li Shangshu, who is good at causing trouble to the east." ”

Then Empress Wu muttered, "So, who should be blamed for this?" This man must live in the palace and have a grudge against His Majesty, so it is only reasonable for him to curse His Majesty with the art of disgust......"

The palace maid said again: "Li Shangshu suggested that the queen might as well look for it in the Yeting Palace, maybe there is a suitable candidate......"

"Yeting Palace?" Empress Wu's brows became deeper and deeper: "The court is full of slaves and palace maids who have committed crimes, and they are just lowly people, if this palace hands over a few slaves casually, Your Majesty will not believe it." ”

Then Empress Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but stand up, and said in a lost voice: "By the way, after Concubine Xiao Shu died that year, did she still leave two princesses to be sent to the court?" Are they still alive? ”

The palace maid lowered her head and said: "Yes, they are Princess Yi'an and Princess Xuancheng, who have been sent to the court for about three years, and they do the chores of slaves every day, and they are all living well. ”

Empress Wu's eyes flickered, and after a while, she suddenly smiled.

"If it weren't for today's accident, this palace would have really forgotten these two princesses, God really helped me."

Empress Wu's laughter suddenly subsided, and her face instantly turned cold.

"You go out of the palace again, tell Li Yifu, and let him pass on the message to Guo Fan and the others, their parents and relatives, and the palace will treat them well. Tomorrow, Xu Jingzong interrogated them and asked them to confess happily, saying that they were tricked by the two princesses, so they did this great rebellious thing. ”

The palace maid respectfully stepped back.

Empress Wu sat alone in the hall, staring at the candle flame on the low table with her phoenix eyes, her expression full of exhaustion.

After a country, the mother of the world, is it really worry-free?

For example, today's incident almost caused her to fall into the abyss again.

Therefore, even if you sit in the position of the queen, you still can't relax for a moment, otherwise, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Empress Wu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and her eyes were full of fear again.

must not fall into the abyss again, in her life, she has been sent to the court, she has also cut her hair to become a nun, and she has almost died several times under the joint efforts of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.

Bloody battles all the way, finally ascending to this position, absolutely can not be lost again!
