Chapter 46: Framing the Prince
Who is Concubine Shu?
She is the biological mother of the third prince Tuoba Bodhisattva, and has a very high status in the Beiliang Palace.
Due to the death of Empress Sun of the Emperor of the Northern Liang Dynasty for many years, Tuoba Dazang has never been established, and Concubine Shu is equivalent to the head of the three palaces and six courts.
Now that she is dead, there is no doubt that it will shake the government and the opposition inside and outside.
Emperor Beiliang, who learned the news, went to the Yajing Hall to check the situation as soon as possible, but saw that Concubine Shu died tragically on the phoenix couch, and the fatal wound was that her neck was blocked by a strange sharp blade.
Concubine Shu was untidy before she died, and there were traces of assault on her lower body, and there were many strangulation marks left by rape on her body.
Emperor Beiliang was furious when he saw this, and the dignified imperial concubine of Northern Liang was raped and killed in the palace that was strictly guarded and controlled, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the royal family.
And he can rape and kill Concubine Shu without knowing it, and he is afraid when he thinks about it.
"Look-ahead! Let Xiao Wuxin enter the palace immediately!! ”
Gao Zhan didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately led people out of the palace to deliver the decree.
Half an hour later, Xiao Wuxin hurried over and was shocked to see the tragic situation at the scene.
"This ...... Finally...... What happened? Xiao Wuxin asked.
"As you can see, Concubine Shu was raped and killed." Emperor Beiliang's angry fist hit the stone pillar in the hall, and he said angrily: "Xiao Aiqing, no matter what means you use, you must catch the murderer of Concubine Shu." ”
"Your Majesty, can you let the minister take a look at the body of Concubine Shuniang?"
Emperor Beiliang did not answer and made a gesture of "please".
Coming to the bed, Xiao Wuxin carefully measured Concubine Shu's body, because she had not been dead for a long time, the corpse still had residual warmth.
Xiao Wuxin held up his fingers and looked at the fatal wound on Concubine Shu's neck, but when he saw it, he frowned and sometimes eased, which caused Emperor Beiliang to be anxious.
"But what did you find?" Emperor Beiliang couldn't wait to ask.
Xiao Wuxin didn't rush to answer, but looked at the multiple scars on his body again, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Aiqing, what did you find?"
Xiao Wuxin said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, please look at the wound on the neck of Concubine Shuniang, do you think it is grotesque and strange?" ”
Kindness?
Just carried away by anger, Emperor Beiliang lost his most basic judgment and ignored this point.
"The wound is five inches long, deep on the left and shallow on the right, the shape of the wound is like an oval, it is obvious that the murderer is a left-handed hand, as for the shape of the wound, doesn't Your Majesty feel familiar?"
Under Xiao Wuxin's step-by-step guidance, Emperor Beiliang suddenly felt that his mouth suddenly opened, and said, "The shape of this blade is ...... Wolves!! ”
When Emperor Beiliang was young, he led his troops to have a conflict with the wolf clan, and he was no stranger to the shape of the special blade used by the wolf clan, and was even somewhat familiar.
"Your Majesty, please look!!"
Xiao Wuxin found a small piece of broken rag in the corner of the phoenix couch.
Emperor Beiliang took the small rag, first put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then carefully measured the material of the rag, and suddenly said: "This is the taste, it won't be wrong." ”
"The rogue of the prairie smells of it, and the cloth they wear is woven from animal hair."
I often deal with the wolf clan, so I naturally understand their habits, and I already have a unique smell on my body, and I will never forget that smell once in my life.
"Damn wolves! Kill the widow's favorite concubine, and the widow will never die with you. ”
After that, Emperor Beiliang was ready to send troops to attack the wolf clan.
At this time, Xiao Wuxin stopped it in time and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be rash, the top priority is to catch the murderer." ”
There are so many wolf people, how difficult is it to lock down the specific murderer?
Xiao Wuxin read Emperor Beiliang's mind and said, "Isn't Your Majesty surprised?" ”
"What's weird?"
"Before the lady was killed, no one noticed it; The palace is heavily guarded, even if it is the top ten masters of the Heavenly Machine Master List, it will not be able to pass through the thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf will be left. ”
Yes, this is also the most confusing place for Emperor Beiliang, Concubine Shu died without warning and without preparation.
"Go on!" Emperor Road of the Northern Liang.
"There is no shortage of attendants around Concubine Shuniang, but there is no one around tonight, what does this mean?"
Emperor Beiliang listened carefully.
"This shows that the wolf clan has always been lurking in the palace, and this person can enter and leave the harem freely, and controls the scheduling of the palace maids and eunuchs."
At this point, the answer is already on the horizon.
There is only one person who can meet both of the above criteria:
The internal official eunuch, Shang Tong is the same as the great eunuch!
"No wonder this damn eunuch uses so much rouge powder every day, it turns out to hide the smell on his body."
Emperor Beiliang thought of the strange behavior of the usual Shangtong.
"Gao Zhan, arrest Shang Tong immediately!!" Emperor Beiliang couldn't hide the grief and indignation in his heart, and after finishing speaking, he changed his words and said: "No, the widow will go in person!" ”
So, Emperor Beiliang led a team of men and horses to arrest people.
When he came to the office of the internal official supervisor, Emperor Beiliang said angrily without asking the reason: "Shang Tong, don't admit your guilt and be punished!" ”
At this time, Shang Tong was looking at Erlang's legs, recalling Concubine Shu's delicious body, but unexpectedly, Emperor Beiliang suddenly arrived, and when he saw the troops coming, he immediately realized that the matter was exposed.
"Not good!"
Shang Tong immediately escaped through the secret door.
When Emperor Beiliang entered the inner room, he found that the person had already run away.
"Bastard!!"
Emperor Beiliang cursed.
"Your Majesty, Shang Tong will hand it over to Weichen, and he will be arrested and brought to justice." Xiao Wuxin took the initiative to ask.
Seeing that Xiao Wuxin was so positive, Emperor Beiliang was very pleased: "Good! As long as you get this gelding back, I will promise you whatever you want to do. ”
Xiao Wuxin chased people from the palace with his men and horses.
Shang ran away all the way, thinking that the plan was seamless, but he didn't expect to be exposed in less than 1 hour, and he cursed Xiao Wuxin in his heart.
Escaping from the palace, he didn't expect that his escape route seemed to be known in advance, and there was always a group of mysterious people blocking him on the way.
Shang Tong thought it was Emperor Beiliang's subordinates, but the group of people only blocked and did not move their hands, and this idea was quickly denied.
In desperation, Shang Tong could only find the vacancy that the mysterious group of people flowed out to escape.
After watching Shang Tong escape, the group of mysterious people suddenly stopped, no longer chasing, and the leader sneered: "The sect master is clever, then Shang Tong really got hit." ”
Looking at the direction of his escape, the only place Shang Tong could go was:
Prince's Mansion!
