Cao Jin tried to sow discord:

"Emperor Qi, the old slave suspects that the murderer is Gonggong Li of Xichang. Prince Zhong was originally fine, but he went to the West Factory a while ago to cause this trouble. Gonggong Li took the initiative to come to the palace early this morning, presumably to confirm whether Prince Zhong was as proud as he was. ”

Emperor Jialing looked at Li Beixuan and wanted an explanation.

Li Beixuan called him aside and quickly stated the purpose of his coming here.

whispered and reassured: "Your Majesty, the minister already basically knows who the murderer is, you can just watch the play on the side, don't mess around." ”

Emperor Jialing nodded: "Be sure to find out the murderer today." ”

"The minister and Prince Zhong are familiar at first sight, and they will give him justice in public and private." Li Beixuan said.

Then he walked up to the steward Wang and instructed: "The murderer is in the palace at the moment, you go and block the gate of the palace and don't let anyone out." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Steward Wang immediately complied.

Ye Lianshan said to the hundred households behind him: "Block the nearby streets, don't let go of any suspicious person." All the embroidered guards have full authority to cooperate with Lord Li in investigating the case. ”

Shen Huaiyi, the secretary of the White Robe Temple, also joined in the fun: "The people of the White Robe Temple also moved to cooperate with Master Li. ”

Dongchang, Xiuyiwei, and Baipao Temple, these are the most powerful yamen in the entire capital, and they are all gathered today.

As the saying goes, there are many people who don't pretend to be forced, such as embroidering clothes at night.

Li Beixuan planned to take advantage of this incident to establish prestige, and by the way, knock down the sworn enemy Dongchang.

looked at Cao Jin and said, "Father-in-law Cao, aren't you going to investigate the case in Dongchang?" Then you invite first, and when you can't do it, we will come back to the West Factory. ”

Cao Jin said in a strange manner: "Didn't Gonggong Li say that the murderer had been found?" Why did we take over the East Factory again? ”

Li Beixuan wanted to capture the old and indulge, and took retreat as advance: "The West Factory is still tender after all, and I dare not compare with the East Factory." The emperor is now waiting for the result, please, Gonggong Cao. ”

Cao Jin glanced at Shen Huaiyi next to him, that is, the second brother of Master Shen, and said, "Lord Shen, are you interested in sharing the emperor's worries with our family." ”

Shen Huaiyi is an old fritter, and he won't let people hold it as a gun: "Gonggong Cao has been promoted, and Shen is usually only good at dealing with some small civil disputes." The death of the prince was too weird, and Shen couldn't do anything about it. ”

Ye Lianshan also quietly moved his gaze elsewhere.

That means, don't call me anymore, I studied under my father, and I just want to be a smiling tiger who follows the trend.

Li Beixuan put pressure on Cao Jin: "Father-in-law Cao, don't look for helpers, if you really can't say a word, don't delay the emperor's time." ”

Cao Jin is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only bite the bullet.

He went around the room first, but found no trace of the murderer.

I just thought that Prince Zhong's death was weird, so I guessed that he might have been poisoned.

Call in immediately for an autopsy.

After a long time of inspection, the result was given: "Qiqi factory father, there is no sign of poisoning in the prince's body." ”

Cao Jin had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at him: "Are you sure?" ”

He was very flustered.

A few more servants were found to conduct an autopsy together.

Still didn't find anything.

Cao Jin gave up.

turned to look at Ni Shang: "Let's talk about last night's events again, dare to miss a detail, our family will kill you immediately." ”

Nishang trembled with fright: "The concubine danced with the prince last night. When the prince looked at it, he became interested and pulled the concubine to the bed. And then...... It was about the time of a stick of incense, and the slave was so tired that she fell asleep. I don't know the rest of the story. When I woke up and found that the prince was him, he would ...... It's gone. ”

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Cao Jin's mouth: "You cheap, you are so bold, can you sleep at that time?" It's really easy for us to cheat. ”

The father-in-law took on the posture of a boudoir expert, making everyone around him laugh.

Shen Huaiyi of the White Robe Temple said, "Lord Cao, you may not know much about this. Some little girls are physically exhausted and are likely to fall asleep quickly. ”

"It's still Lord Shen who understands life." Li Beixuan arched his hand towards Shen Huaiyi.

"We don't understand, we all listen to our friends." Shen Huaiyi exuded humor.

"This friend isn't you, is it?" Li Beixuan said.

"Hahaha."

Most of the people present couldn't hold back.

They all laughed out loud.

Cao Jin was very angry: "Who dare to laugh? ”

Li Beixuan raised his hand and signaled everyone to keep quiet: "Lord Cao's case, everyone should be serious, in case it can't be found out in the end, what if you interfere with his train of thought?" ”

"You ......" Cao Jin looked at Li Beixuan, gritting his teeth in anger, but he was helpless, so he continued to interrogate Ni Shang, "Are you sure you're asleep and don't know anything, right?" ”

Nishang bit her lip and nodded, with a hint of hesitation.

Cao Jin is a master of the upper three grades, and his perception is extremely keen, so he instantly captured Nishang's reaction and threatened: "If you know something, just say it, and our family can save your life." But if our family finds out that you are hiding the truth, they will be executed on the spot. ”

Nishang hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "My lord's life, my lord's life, my concubine's body was indeed so tired that her legs were weak, but she didn't fall asleep completely." Before the concubine fell asleep, she faintly heard a little movement. ”

"What's going on?" Cao Jin's eyes flashed brightly, and he felt that he was not far from solving the case.

Nishang said: "The prince's room is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall, and the two of us were in the inner hall at that time, and we couldn't see the situation in the outer hall. But I could hear that Fluttershy had entered the outer hall last night. ”

Cao Jin glanced at the small dish next to him, and shouted coldly: "Take it for me." ”

Fluttershy's lips turn white in fright and she falls to her knees.

Steward Wang realized: "No wonder Fluttershy has been picking up the old slave just now, and wants to put Ni Shang in the prison of the White Robe Temple, it turns out that she is the real murderer, and she is in a hurry to make Ni Shang take the blame." ”

Ye Lianshan said, "Come on, take the criminal Fluttershy to prison." ”

"Wait." Li Beixuan asked, "Just now, the girl in Nishang also said that she was lying in the inner hall and couldn't see the situation in the outer hall at all. Excuse me, how can she be sure it's Fluttershy? ”

Fluttershy is too frightened to defend herself. Now that I heard that Li Beixuan was doing justice for himself, it was a relief. Holding Li Beixuan's legs, he said: "My lord is clear, it's really not a slave, it's really not a slave." ”

Li Beixuan leaned over and helped Fluttershy up, "Get up first, Fluttershy, I'm sure it's not you." ”

Cao Jin was furious: "Li Beixuan, what are you doing?" Are you worried that this will go to prison and confess you? Come on, take Li Beixuan to our family. ”
