In the next few days, He Ying and Si Shengxiang have been guarding in front of the file, and the meal was sent by the prince and father-in-law, and the six dishes were all made by the chef of the imperial dining room, with all the color, flavor, and taste.

And the place where I live is also a big mansion with two entrances and two exits, with three subordinates, and you can go out and buy whatever you need.

After all, according to the calculation of time, the two of them have been beheaded, and if they want to go out to see it, they will have to set off another storm.

At meal time, Si Shengxiang sandwiched a piece of braised pork, which melted in his mouth, and the taste was excellent: "Have you found any clues?" ”

He Ying glanced at the mountains of dossiers and said, "Now that the dossiers have been read all, there is nothing wrong with them on the surface, but I found something abnormal. ”

Si Shengxiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "What's the problem?" ”

"After the death of the prince, the body was transported back to the capital, and according to the ministers who examined it that day, the prince's lips were black, his face was sunken, and his eyes became black."

"Black?"

"Yes."

Si Shengxiang frowned: "Why is this?" ”

He Ying put down the chopsticks and stretched out a finger: "There is only one possibility, that is, the prince has been poisoned." ”

"Huh?"

"According to the dossier, the prince's martial arts are world-famous, and there is a husband who has the courage to be a man who is not open, if it is a head-to-head battle, there is no doubt that the demon emperor can't beat the prince, but in the end the prince still died, why? There is only one possibility, that is, he was poisoned, he couldn't use his martial arts, and finally died. ”

Si Shengxiang put down his chopsticks and listened carefully to He Ying's analysis.

"And I found that before the prince set out on the expedition, the first emperor had set up a banquet for 100 ministers, and there were more than 200 people in the palace at that time, but from the palace personnel management book, there was one person who left the palace after the banquet and returned to his hometown."

"Who is it?"

"The father-in-law who was in charge of serving the prince at that time was named Zhang Kaikang."

"Do you suspect that the prince was poisoned at the beginning, and then went to the battlefield, and finally poisoned and died with the demon emperor?"

"Yes."

Si Shengxiang thought for a while and said, "Is there a possibility that the prince was poisoned by the demon clan after he arrived in the Northern Wilderness?" ”

He Ying shook his head: "I have also thought about what you said, but it is recorded in the file that when the prince arrived in the Northern Wilderness, the three meals a day were very simple, and they were all in charge of the personal guards who had served him for more than 20 years. There are many opportunities in the palace on weekdays, and on the other hand, the father-in-law who serves the food is the most suspicious. ”

Si Shengxiang nodded: "The person who is tentatively designated as poisoning is this father-in-law, so who instructed him?" ”

After speaking, Si Shengxiang was stunned.

Who else could it be.

Only the current emperor!

A chill came out of the soles of his feet, and Si Shengxiang subconsciously moved his feet.

It seems that everyone underestimated the current emperor.

It is only known that after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he monopolized power and eradicated the old ministers.

But I don't know that for the sake of this throne, he even did not hesitate to poison his brother.

This heart is really ruthless.

"Whether the person who poisoned him is this Zhang Kaikang, we will find out when we go back to his hometown."

After eating, the two informed the prince of the results of their reasoning, and then quietly went out of the city under the leadership of the prince.

This Zhang Kaikang's hometown is from Jiangbei, hundreds of miles away from the capital.

In ancient times, there were no buses and planes, and the fastest ones were only fast horses.

……

Five days later.

Jiangbei Wharf.

He Ying and the others got off the boat, had lunch near the pier, and rented two horses in the afternoon to continue to Zhang Kaikang's hometown.

Zhang Kaikang's hometown is in the countryside, and there are only about a dozen families scattered around, and according to the records in the file, his home is the two thatched houses at the head of the village.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, He Ying saw the three-story house built at the end of the village.

The house is very exquisitely built, and it is a bit of a standout when placed in the surrounding thatched houses.

There was a big tree planted in front of the house, and two old men were enjoying the shade.

He Ying and the others turned over and dismounted, and walked to the door, only to find that the house was abandoned, and the door was covered with cobwebs.

Tried knocking on the door, but no response.

I saw two old men under the big tree behind them and said to them: "Don't knock, there is no one in the old Zhang family for a long time." ”

The two walked under the tree: "Isn't this Zhang Kaikang's house?" ”

"yes."

"How could there be no one?"

"It's dead."

He Ying chuckled in his heart, and his right eye couldn't help jumping.

"How did you die?"

Then he saw the old man and said, "Who are you?" ”

He Ying took out the Jinyi Wei token, and then the two old men immediately became serious.

"Lao Zhang came back half a year ago, I heard that he made meritorious contributions in the palace, and sent him a few boxes of gold, no, after coming back, the previous thatched house was demolished, and only then did he have this grand mansion."

"But who would have thought that he was sick and died in less than half a month, and is now buried behind this mountain...... Hey, after all, there is no such blessed life. ”

He Ying and the two glanced at each other, sure enough, can the emperor really let you go after doing this kind of thing?

According to the guidance of the two old men, the two came to the back of the mountain again, and after a short time, they found the grave of Zhang Kaikang, who was as high as the grass on the grave.

"Now that it has come to the final stage, as long as the cause of Zhang Kaikang's death is determined, we can know whether the murderer is really the current emperor."

Si Shengxiang hesitated.

He Ying smiled: "You stand aside, I'll come." ”

Si Shengxiang bit her lip: "Let's go together." ”

"Okay."

After saying that, the two began to dig up the grave......

Half an hour later, the two refilled the soil and walked down the mountain.

……

And here, in the palace, the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The young emperor was kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, and kept fanning his big mouth, and his face was almost swollen.

The Cleansing Pill had brought him to his senses.

And the Pure Divine Water allowed him to see her true face when he had dinner with the queen today.

He never thought that there was a demon lying under him in the past.

Above, the Queen Mother is like a cage of frost.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed a long sigh and said: "The matter has come to this point, and the mourning family has nothing to say, the prince's affairs can be regarded as not knowing, but the demon queen must be eradicated, otherwise my Great Wei will eventually perish." ”

The emperor immediately wiped away his tears, and his head was like pounding garlic: "Thank you for your mother's kindness, don't worry about your mother, this demon girl confuses the mind of the son, and the son will not just let it go, if it weren't for the two brocade guards, I'm afraid that my great Wei will be destroyed in the hands of the son, and in the end I will end up with the infamy of a sinner through the ages. ”

"Can you think of a way to deal with this demon queen?"

The emperor thought for a while and said: "The big Buddha in the north of the capital will be built in the near future, and then the ministers will lead the demon girl there in the name of appreciation, and then kill it." ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment. nodded: "Yes, the preparation must be done, all the palace masters are transferred, don't give the demon girl a chance to escape, once she escapes, I am afraid that my entire people in the capital will suffer this catastrophe." ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go down."

Seeing her son withdraw from the palace, the Queen Mother rubbed her temples, she only wanted to find out about the demon queen, but she didn't want to find out about her son's murder of the prince.

That's his own brother!

How dare he?!

After a short rest, the prince entered the palace.

"Let the Grand Master, the commander, and the leader of the three battalions come to see you, and remember, don't make a noise."

"Huh."

The princess retreated, and the queen mother walked to the door of the palace, stared at the gloomy sky for a long time, and then muttered: "It's time to change the sky......"
