"Zhu Wenjing, don't be coy here!"

Zhu Wenjue also knows that if he really sits on the title of "ant thief", then don't say that the position of the prince is the same as whether he can keep his throne...

He scolded with red eyes: "The news that came back from the eight hundred miles of urgency yesterday, what is your intention to pull out so many perjuries and spew people today, pointing the finger at me?"

After that, he shifted his gaze to Emperor Yonghe and cried, "Father, the third brother disregards brotherhood, and when he throws dirty water on his sons, he asks his father to see it!"

"Am I pretentious? I'm spewing blood?"

Zhu Wenjing sneered and said, "Who in the court doesn't know that the second brother has a personal relationship with that Shao Xingmin?

Why is it that now that the incident has happened, it is an ordinary friend relationship in the mouth of the second brother?

As far as I know, before the news was sent back in an urgent manner by 800 miles, it coincided with the marriage of Shao Xingmin's third son, and the second brother went to the banquet, this is an ordinary friend relationship?

Shao Xingmin was drunk, let me ask the second brother, how does a hangover person fear crime and self-discipline at night?"

His voice paused and he scolded sharply, "Who is acting in a hurry? Who is spewing blood?

Is Shao Xingmin really afraid of crime and self-judgment, or is someone killing people to kill people!?"

"What nonsense!!"

Zhu Wenjue's face changed drastically, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Shao Xingmin's three sons got married, and the courtiers invited to go don't know how many, I went to the banquet, but I also returned drunk.

After the news came back, I knew that contact with Shao Xingmin would arouse suspicion, so I ordered to close the door and thank the guests.

I am innocent, why should I kill people and kill my mouth?"

"I never said that the second brother was the mastermind of the murder, why are you so excited, second brother?"

"You... Slander my brother!!"

「……」

The two brothers scolded in front of the court...

There was not enough time, and Zhu Wenjing actually did not find evidence that could prove that the second brother was an "ant thief".

But there is no evidence, it does not mean that there is no speculation, and it does not prevent him from splashing dirty water...

And Zhu Wenjue knew that he couldn't get rid of the suspicion of having a friendship with Shao Xingmin, but when he heard that he was pulling it on himself regardless of whether he had it or not, his eyes were red with anger, and he fought with reason.

In the Jinluan Palace...

The courtiers tacitly remained silent...

Xu Boqing looked like an outsider watching a play, quietly watching the two princes arguing...

And Emperor Yonghe saw that his two sons were getting more and more noisy, breaking each other's dirty water, his face was even more gloomy, and he faintly called out with some impatience: "Song Mingde, Xu Boqing, obey!"

The two people who were named were a little dazed...

Song Mingde quickly reacted and bowed down to stand by, and Xu Boqing also learned well when he saw this.

"I ordered you two to go to Shao Xingmin's mansion."

Emperor Yonghe's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a cold face: "Arrest all the Shao family members and take them to the heavenly prison for interrogation, and by the way, investigate the cause of Shao Xingmin's death, and report it back..."

"Wechen commands..."

"Go now!"

"Yes!"

Song Mingde and Xu Boqing glanced at each other, and then withdrew from the Jinluan Palace.

After counting some people at the Jinyi Guard, the group went straight to Shao Xingmin's mansion...

On the way, Song Mingde saw that Xu Boqing was at ease, and after hesitating, he couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Lord Xu, what do you think about the Fushan weir bursting the embankment?"

"Me?"

Xu Boqing was shocked, and then frowned slightly and said, "I'm not familiar with that Shao Xingmin, but according to the information collected by Xichang, although this person is not a clear stream, he also belongs to that kind of practical person."

"yes..."

Song Mingde didn't know what to think, and said with a sigh: "I also have some communication with Shao Xingmin, this person is from a poor family, and he is still the champion of Yonghe for three years...

When he was young, he was ambitious, but the officialdom hit a wall everywhere, and later he was prosperous in the same dust, and he became an official in just a few years

The Ministry of Works...

How wonderful do you say this life is?"

He paused, and then whispered, "From what I know about him, he may be greedy for some money, but he will do what he needs to do, and he will never make such a big basket."

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he asked with a smile, "What does Commander Song mean, is there a problem with this Fushan weir bursting the embankment?"

"I don't dare say that."

Song Mingde hurriedly shook his head, looked around and said softly, "The governor of Jiangling Mansion also rushed back to the capital last night, and I came forward to receive him.

Because I had an old relationship with him, I talked a little more, and he told me that the breach of the Fushan weir might have been damned."

「？？？？」

Xu Boqing's face showed a look of surprise...

"Really..."

Song Mingde also knew that this brainless remark was not very convincing, so he explained: "He told me that it was about August and September last year, just after the flood season last year.

When I sleep at night, I have a dream of a fairy, saying that the river god of Qianling River is a demon and has been eradicated...

Originally, he didn't take it seriously, just thought it was a dream, but the next day, someone went to report that the Jiang Shrine had been struck into a puddle of ruins by lightning on a rainy night.

The idols are shattered...

He was also a little surprised, and when the rain stopped, he sent people to visit, and as a result, the statues of the river gods offered by the fishermen at home by the riverside were all broken without exception!

After careful questioning, I found that he was not the only one who had that dream, and many people who were begging for a living by the river had achieved that dream, and the content of the dream was exactly the same."

「……」

Xu Boqing's breath stagnated when he heard this...

August and September last year?

Is the god of the Qianling River demonized?

Thunder Split River Shrine?

The statue of the god of the river is all shattered?

Hearing this, he naturally remembered that he had killed the toad spirit by the Qianling River, and that dream must have been done by the local city god...

"Is there any causal relationship between killing the toad spirit yourself and the current Fushan weir bursting the embankment?"

He frowned and asked, "And then?"

"And then he rotted it in his stomach."

Song Mingde thought about it for a while and said, "He is the governor of Jiangling Mansion, and there is an immortal who dreams that the Qianling Jiangjiang God is demonized and has been eradicated, what else can he do as a mortal except believe?

At that time, many people on the riverside appealed to the government to ask the government to allocate funds to rebuild the Jiang Shen Temple, but he pushed it down, and even ordered that the Jiang Shen Temple should not be rebuilt.

According to what he said, this incident caused a stir among the people of Gangneung Province at that time.

On the surface, it is not allowed to rebuild the Jiang God Shrine, and those people say that he does not respect the Jiang God and will be punished by God and retributed; There are even some people who spontaneously build shrines in secret and worship the god of the river.

Although this matter has been suppressed, there are all kinds of rumors circulating among the people of Gangneung Province.

Among them, the most popular is that they do not respect the god of the river, and they will be punished and punished by heaven.

Naturally, this thing can't be taken seriously...

But now, the Fushan weir has burst!

Although Gangneung Province is upstream, the flood disaster is not too serious, but it does respond to the words of "heavenly damnation".

Lord Xu, think about it...

After a few days, the news of countless deaths and injuries in the flood of Yingtianfu and Daimyo Mansion downstream has been spread, and I don't know how serious the trouble will be when Gangneung Mansion was "cursed".

There are many people talking about it, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the folk rumors will become true!"

「……」

Xu Boqing was silent.

I really didn't expect that I would get rid of a demon in the first place, and it would lead to such consequences a year later!!

"Lord Xu, I've arrived at Shao's Mansion..."

Song Mingde saw that he was a little distracted, so he waved his hand and motioned to his Jinyi guards to surround Shao Mansion, and then go in to get people.

At this time, the people of Shao Mansion were still tearing red paper and hanging white flags.

Yesterday, the third son of Shao Mansion got married, and today I found that the head of Shao Mansion has hung himself on the beam of the house, and there is no greater joy and sorrow than this.

After Jinyiwei broke into the mansion to get people, there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the sorrow in the mansion became a little stronger.

Seeing this, Xu Boqing couldn't help sighing, and asked casually, "Commander Song, who do you think is the most pitiful in the Shao family?"

"The most pitiful?"

Song Mingde was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "It should be the third son of this Shao Mansion, he just got married yesterday, and his father died at night, and he has to go to prison today."

"I beg to differ."

Xu Boqing shook his head and sighed, "The daughter-in-law of the third son of Shao Mansion married into Shao Mansion yesterday, and she didn't enjoy a good life for a day, but the matter of going to prison is not a thing."

「……」

Song Mingde nodded with a wry smile and said, "We're just following orders."

"Let's go in and have a look."

Xu Boqing walked into the Shao Mansion, but saw that the servants in the Shao Mansion were still wearing filial piety clothes, and they were taken away crying.

One of the middle-aged women's eyes were red from crying, and when she saw Xu Boqing entering the door in a python suit, she immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "My lord, my lord is still in the coffin and has not yet been buried, can you be accommodating for some time?"

「……」

Xu Boqing stopped in place, stretched out his hand to stop the Jinyi guard who wanted to forcibly pull the woman away, and then said, "With the emperor's order, I may not be accommodating."

He paused, and then said, "But after we have examined your master's body, we will bury him in the earth, so you don't need to worry about that."

"It's okay, it's okay..."

The middle-aged woman seemed to have guessed that there would be such a moment, and she didn't cry out for grievances or beg for mercy, but just kowtowed and said, "Thank you, the people."

After saying that, he stood up sadly and took the initiative to cooperate with the brocade guard.

At this time, the servant invited by Jinyiwei had already pushed open the coffin in front of the mourning hall, carried Shao Xingmin's body out, and prepared for an autopsy.

"This Shao Xingmin really didn't hang himself."

Xu Boqing went over to look at the corpse, and saw that although there were bruises on his neck, his feet were straight and straight, and he couldn't help muttering.

"Oh?"

Song Mingde was shocked when he heard this, looked at the corpse, and then looked at the also somewhat dazed pretense, and asked in surprise, "Lord Xu still knows how to perform an autopsy?"

"I don't know how to perform an autopsy."

Xu Boqing shook his head and said, "But I know that after a person dies, it only takes a few hours for the corpse to become stiff."

He paused, then pointed to Shao Xingmin's feet and said, "Shao Xingmin said that he hanged himself from the beam of the house, and he was not found until the morning, so logically speaking, the feet of his corpse should be weak and prolapse.

But you can see that the feet of the corpse are stiff at this time, which is obviously unreasonable.

Therefore, it is very likely that someone was hung on the beam of the house after death, and the body was already stiff before it was hung up, and it is estimated that it was only hung up in the morning."

「……」

Song Mingde blinked slightly blankly.

The man was startled, and subconsciously looked at the corpse's feet, only to find that it was standing as he said.

He opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something flattering, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.

Thinking that he has been working for most of his life, and now he is being crushed by people across industries, even if he is crushed, the key is that he has learned something, and a sense of frustration arises spontaneously.

"These are just my personal guesses, and I can't take them seriously."

Xu Boqing didn't know what to do when he saw that he was looking sneered, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't be stunned, find out the cause of death."

"Yes!"

The man didn't dare to be righteous when he heard this, so he looked at the corpse's eyes, pinched the corpse's mouth and observed it carefully, and punctured the bruises and took out the bruises for comparison.

I was busy for a while.

He rolled his Adam's apple up and down, complimentingly, "My lord is like a god, Shao Xingmin really didn't hang himself..."

「……」

Song Mingde looked at Xu Boqing with a strange expression...

And Xu Boqing saw that the two of them were looking at him, and frowned slightly and said, "I didn't kill the person, do you all look at ***?"

「……」
