The criminal department Shangshu nodded, he also knew that this matter was the details to be reported today, and he was supposed to let the emperor check the final whereabouts of these bows and crossbows.

Don't underestimate these nearly 100 bows and crossbows, if they are used to assassinate the officials of the imperial court, it will kill many people, which is enough to create chaos.

When Xiao Pingsi heard this, he already understood in his heart who was behind this matter.

Immediately annoyed: "Have you ever asked in front of He Lou, where did those bows and crossbows go?" ”

"Asked...... He Louqian had already been sentenced to death, and he didn't want to say. "The squire of the criminal department is helpless, for a person who is already dead, it is difficult for him to arch out who again.

Xiao Chaoguo said coldly: "If you hand him over to the Hanging Sword Division, I don't believe that he can't open his mouth!" ”

The crowd was silent.

If it were in the past, I was afraid that everyone would oppose it, and the Hanging Sword Division used torture like this.

But this matter is about the young master, His Majesty and the Hanging Sword Division, and no one dares to uphold justice.

Zhuge Qingshan said: "Even if He Louqian doesn't say it, the person who handled this matter should be more than him, can't he ask for other people's confessions?" ”

"Lord Shoufu is right, the Criminal Department is interrogating the staff and accomplices in front of He Lou......"

Xiao Pingsi also knew what these people meant, Fang Jue still didn't speak, but he couldn't pretend to be stupid.

"Still need to check? The group of people who assassinated Ye Hongyi yesterday used Fuzhou crossbow arrows, and they followed this line to investigate...... No matter who is found, it will be dealt with according to law! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming......" Xiao Chaoguo said immediately.

The emperor has made a statement, then he can let it go, even if it involves any prince, he can also check.

It's just that you can't arrest anyone, but there is no obstacle to inquiry.

"Your Majesty Shengming......" Fang Jue seemed to be half a beat slower.

……

After the early dynasty dispersed, the emperor took people to the imperial study.

There are some things that are inconvenient to explain in person.

Zhuge Qingshan, Xiao Chaoguo, Mo Yuan, Lu Xin......

In addition to Fang Jue, relevant insiders have already arrived.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" The Emperor looked at the men.

Zhuge Qingshan was also puzzled, but he understood the importance of this matter, not to mention anything else, only the attitude of the young master had to be taken seriously.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this case will involve a wide range of people."

"The one who assassinated Lord Ye was the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain on the list of villains in the Emperor Pavilion."

"The famous flower thief?" The emperor said in disgust.

Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Pingsi glared: "What about Ye Hongyi?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Wanjian Mountain was killed by Lord Ye if he didn't succeed."

"That's good......" Xiao Pingsi breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.

If he really succeeds, then the young master is afraid that he will not know how angry he will be today.

"The person behind the curtain must want to use Wanjian Mountain as a cover, so that he can assassinate in the name of picking flowers, as long as the crossbow arrows and horse corpses are taken away, no one will know that a crossbow arrow team has appeared." Zhuge Qingshan's analysis was in place at once.

Lu Xin said: "But they didn't expect that Wanjian Mountain was actually killed, and no one erased the evidence." ”

"Exactly...... But Wanjian Mountain, how can it be hidden in the capital? Xiao Pingsi frowned.

At this time, Mo Yuan pleaded guilty:

"It is not good for the ministers to protect the Jingshi, please condemn your majesty."

Xiao Chaoguo shook his head: "The commander doesn't have to blame himself, the crime of this matter is not in the forbidden army, the city defense and curfew are under the control of the patrol battalion, and the forbidden army is mostly on the edge of the palace wall." ”

"If you can bring a wanted criminal into Beijing, the people behind the scenes must have someone in the patrol camp to deal with it."

Jinling City Gate, except for special periods, is generally patrolled and guarded in and out. The forbidden army was only in charge of the Imperial City, and helped the patrol battalion to suppress those unrests that could not be suppressed.

Lu Xin took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, yesterday night, the forbidden army was patrolling the palace wall and heard the movement and arrived, but the patrol battalion did not appear...... Perhaps Xiao Shouza's suspicion was right. ”

It's smooth.

Everyone nodded, realizing that the patrol camp was not clean.

Emperor Zhengse: "Check, give me a clear investigation, no matter who is involved, find out to the end!" ”

Not to mention giving an explanation to the young master, just daring to plant people in the patrol camp and stealing a large number of bows and crossbows from Fuzhou is already disobedient.

Mo said that he was a member of the capital, even if the prince dared to do this, Xiao Pingsi would not let it go.

For the emperor, military force must be grasped in his hands, and he can only grasp it in his hands. Anyone who tries to tempt or provoke is death.

When the rest of the ministers left one by one, only the people of the Hanging Sword Division were left in the imperial study.

Xiao Pingsi finally asked: "With such a large number of bows and crossbows entering Beijing, don't tell me that your Hanging Sword Division has nothing to investigate?" ”

"Your Majesty, the one who used to be in charge of this piece was Xiao Luoye's person." Xiao Chaoguo didn't want to shake the pot, but he really didn't blame him for throwing the pot.

This Xiao Luoye is Your Majesty's person, everyone thinks that what he does is authorized by you.

How dare I check on him in normal times?

Isn't that a provocation to the regal?

"Ahem......" Xiao Pingsi was embarrassed for a moment, slightly annoyed, "Is there any suspicion?" ”

Xiao Chaoguo said cowardly: "Maybe you can only find out the ghosts in the patrol camp first, and then check along the vine." ”

This is official enough.

Last night, the patrol battalion on Suzaku Street was deliberately transferred, which will definitely leave traces, and it can be easily found out by who ordered it.

But the emperor still gave Xiao Chaoguo a blank look: "Now you want to hide it from me?" ”

Xiao Chaoguo hurriedly knelt down: "The minister doesn't dare to ......"

"Then you say, who is the most suspicious?" Xiao Pingsi glanced at Xiao Chaoguo.

Xiao Chaoguo was speechless, thinking to himself who is the most suspicious, Your Majesty, you don't have any points in your heart?

But after all, he didn't dare to bully the king, Xiao Chaoguo said helplessly: "Your Majesty, why do you need to say it...... He Louqian, bow and crossbow, Fuzhou guard Li Chuan ......"

Seeing that the emperor was still holding it, Xiao Chaoguo was no longer a riddler:

"He Louqian and Li Chuan, and one person who should be implicated in this case, most of them are His Royal Highness King Qi's ......"

What? Xiao Chaoguo stopped.

"Henchmen?" Xiao Pingsi sneered and added the two words that Xiao Chaoguo didn't dare to say.

Xiao Chaoguo was silent and did not dare to answer.

Xiao Pingsi frowned, thinking carefully about what to do.

"Your Majesty......"

Wang Feng reminded: "I heard that Lord Ye was injured, and the young master went to watch her for half the night overnight. ”

Xiao Pingsi was shocked, understood Ye Hongyi's position in the young master's heart, and knew that he also had to make a choice.

If I am partial, I am afraid that the Hanging Sword Division and the Young Master will be displeased with me.

"Xiao Chaoguo?"

"The minister is here!" Xiao Chaoguo is upright, he knows that the emperor is going to order.

Xiao Pingsi sighed: "You personally led the soldiers of the palace and went to the palace of the king of Qi with Mo Yuan of the forbidden army. ”

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Chaoguo was surprised, this hasn't found any real evidence, you are going to arrest your own son?

"Go and search, and bring back the person who will do the work for King Qi for interrogation...... Regardless of whether there is a result or not, the Qi Palace's Mansion will be temporarily closed. ”

Xiao Pingsi said: "In the case of He Louqian, most of King Qi's henchmen were co-defendants, how could he not know at all? ”

For this reason, it is reasonable to search the Qi Palace.

However, the three law divisions did not dare to do so without evidence, and only the emperor could give such an order.

"Your Majesty, if you find out anything, can you cover up the news?" Xiao Chaoguo asked.

If someone else is there, this question naturally cannot be asked.

Xiao Pingsi said lightly: "In the case of Xiao Luoye, I didn't hide it, does King Qi dare to rebel?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister will go to ......"

After Xiao Chaoguo left with his will, only the emperor and Wang Feng were left in the huge imperial study.

Xiao Pingsi let out a long sigh and pinched the corners of his eyes, he was only halfway through the day, but he was already very sad.

"My prince, why are they all so uneasy?"

Wang Feng didn't dare to answer.

Xiao Pingsi said: "Wang Feng, you say, why are they not satisfied? Born to be a prince, high up, where is the gold and silver wealth, mountain and sea delicacies, eating, drinking and having fun not satisfied? ”

"Why do they not know how to share their worries for their father, but they only care about their own selfish interests...... Such a prince, how dare I make a prince? ”

Wang Feng originally planned to persuade him, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he continued to pretend to be dumb.

The prince's matter, you tell me a chicken feather, I dare to talk too much, I'm afraid I'm tired of it......

"When I was young, I was much taller than them, and the emperor finally chose me...... Why don't they understand this? ”

Wang Feng still didn't talk.

Xindao, if the world is full of sensible people, then there will be no contradictions and wars.
