North Liang, Chaotang.

The ten-day deadline had arrived, and the crown prince and the third prince came to the court with confidence, and saw that the two of them were full of glory, obviously full of confidence in the case.

Emperor Beiliang came to the court, and after everyone saluted, he said, "I heard that both of you have solved the case of burning corpses?" ”

A wonderful use of the word "all".

The faces of the crown prince and the third prince changed suddenly, their smiles suddenly disappeared, and they looked at each other.

"You solved the case too?" The two said in unison.

After the two found the substitute ghost, in order to invite merit, they tacitly and secretly told Emperor Beiliang about it, and Emperor Beiliang was also extremely surprised, how they who didn't understand criminal investigation solved a case that even the criminal department felt was tricky in ten days.

Emperor Beiliang was eager to know the answer, and said: "In this case, you two will bring the murderer of the burning case and let the widow open his eyes." ”

At this moment, neither the crown prince nor the third prince realized the seriousness of the problem, and both of them thought that they were slapping their faces and becoming fat.

Hum!

The two of them each snorted coldly, and hurriedly sent someone to bring the murderer up.

After a while, the two innocent people who were beaten half to death and were bloodied were dragged to the court like dead pigs by the guards.

"Father, this person is the murderer of the arson case." The prince said.

"This is his confession." The third prince said.

Emperor Beiliang looked at the two people below, and then looked at the confessions submitted by the two, two unrelated murderers in one case?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what it means?!

Bend into a trick!

But seeing the terrifying expression of Emperor Beiliang on his face, and the moment the crown prince and the third prince brought their respective murderers up, they were also completely stunned.

This is like two backward students, who copied a role at the same time, and handed it to the teacher at the same time, and the embarrassment at that moment was afraid that they could use their toenails to buckle out a Forbidden City.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the third prince was quick and immediately knelt on the ground: "Father, the son is the real murderer, and the prince is obviously beaten into a trick." ”

The prince was stunned, and secretly called "bastard" in his heart, and immediately knelt down: "Please father and emperor Mingjian, the third brother is the villain to sue first, and the murderer he arrested is fake." ”

"You're the fake."

"You're impersonating."

"You're talking nonsense."

"You're talking nonsense."

......

After a while, the two of them began to argue in the courtroom.

A prince and a prince, it is okay for the two to catch the fake murderer, and they openly tore each other apart in the solemn court, which made Emperor Beiliang extremely annoyed.

It also made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty look lively, where is the dignity of the royal family?

"Presumptuous!!"

Emperor Beiliang shouted angrily.

The two of them were suddenly panicked and immediately kowtowed to admit their mistakes.

But at this time, the two people who were beaten half to death, as if agreed, shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty, the grass people are wronged." ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people did not kill anyone."

"The grass people were beaten into tricks by the three princes."

"The grass people were also persecuted by the prince."

The two "murderers" elaborate on how they were beaten into confessions.

After hearing this, Emperor Beiliang couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately scolded the prince and the third prince angrily, saying: "You guys usually make trouble, widows should turn a blind eye and close one eye. ”

"If this case spreads, how will the people of Beiliang treat the widow?!"

"Father, the son really didn't lie." The three princes argued weakly.

"Bastard, it's like this, you're still hard-mouthed!" Emperor Beiliang had a kind of resentment that iron could not become steel, and said: "Come here, take these two rebels down and confine them for three months, and they are not allowed to leave the palace without the imperial decree of the widow." ”

The ministers knew that Emperor Beiliang was really angry this time, he had always favored the three princes, even if he did something wrong, he only scolded a few words.

However, this time, the two of them undoubtedly violated the reverse scales of Tuoba Daizo.

The arson and burning case, for Emperor Beiliang, is not a big case, but it can be handed over to the prince for trial to the end, but it has become an unjust, false and wrongful case, where is the dignity of the royal family? What is the dignity of being the Son of Heaven?

How will the people perceive themselves?

This is undoubtedly the most intolerable for Emperor Beiliang, who loves his reputation very much.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, a large number of people have gathered outside the Criminal Department, and they are clamoring to bring the murderer to justice today, if not, they will openly petition." The left waiter of the criminal department hurriedly came to report.

Ten days ago, the news of the two princes trying to solve the case had already spread among the people, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation.

"Damn, why do you make trouble at such a time?"

How could Emperor Beiliang know that there was an invisible hand behind this that was dominating everything, and this person was Xiao Wuxin.

"The people are angry in their hearts, and they must be appeased, which secretary is willing to go to the Criminal Department to calm down the people's anger?" Emperor Beiliang said.

But seeing that none of the officials in the court answered, they all bowed their heads and were silent.

Emperor Beiliang's face was ugly, and he didn't even have anyone to count on at a critical time, so Zai Fu Ye Liang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister can recommend one." ”

"Who?"

"The Four Princes."

At the mention of "Tuoba Hong", Emperor Beiliang's expression changed suddenly, and he seemed to have a natural dislike for this person and made no secret of his dislike for him.

Ye Liang didn't know what he was thinking, and stated: "The fourth prince has a title among the people, called 'Commoner Prince', and he is also quite prestigious among the people, so it is only fitting for him to come forward. ”

After thinking about it again, I felt that only Tuoba Hong was the most suitable.

However, there are new problems.

"What about the murderer? If the real murderer is not caught, how can the people give up. ”

"There's a guy who caught the murderer." Ye Liang said confidently.

"Speak quickly!"

"This person is Princess Hexiao's future son-in-law, Xiao Wuxin."

So, Ye Liang told Xiao Wuxin how to solve the case of Cheng Siyi's death in the Zhou Dynasty.

After hearing this, Emperor Beiliang immediately ordered: "Spread the widow's will, order Xiao Wuxin to preside over this case, and limit him to solve the case within two days, and there must be no mistakes." ”

On the other side, Xiao Wuxin, who had everything under control, was already ready, just waiting for the Holy Decree to arrive.
