Rong Fei's first impression of this Emperor Dayan was not bad, at least he looked quite easy-going.

After some stylized praise and expression of loyalty, Zhu Sheng gave a seat and asked the two to sit down and answer.

"How was the jade seal found? Why did you let Yueyao take her out of the palace? Quickly, I was curious. ”

This is the reason why Zhu Sheng left the ministers who were waiting in the Jinluan Palace and summoned the two of them to the imperial study for questioning.

As for rewarding, winning people's hearts or something, these two little people can't get into Zhu Sheng's eyes.

Not only Zhu Sheng, but Yu Qingzhi was also curious, he searched for three days, and almost searched the entire palace and couldn't find the jade seal, how did Rong Fei find it in less than two days.

"Hmm... It all started when Duke Wei took me to the imperial study to search. ”

Rong Fei sorted out his thoughts and spoke eloquently.

"The first time I checked the imperial study, I didn't find any clues, and after Wei Gong's description of the situation that day, the focus of suspicion could only be on the team of guards guarding outside the imperial study.

On the way to Neiku, I happened to pass by the garden where the prince and the king of Qi were playing, and met with the two highnesses, and at the same time listened to the Duke of Wei tell the interesting story of the two highnesses charging in the courtyard to attack the city.

After interrogating the guards in the inner library, I concluded that the loss of the jade seal had nothing to do with them..."

"People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's words are not credible, so are you sure that the guards are not lying?"

Zhu Sheng raised his hand to interrupt Rong Fei's statement and asked strangely.

"Because I joined forces with Wei Gong to act in a play."

Rong Fei smiled confidently and told the story of the interrogation with Wei Lin in the inner library.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Zhu Sheng praised again and again after listening.

"Since the loss of the jade seal has nothing to do with the guards, then someone must have infiltrated the imperial study, so Wei Gong and I returned to the imperial study for the second time. It was late at night, and I was lying on the ground with an oil lamp, and I checked and searched block by block with the gold bricks on the ground as the coordinates.

When I searched the front of the table, I noticed that something under the foot of the table reflected the light, and it turned out to be an extremely tiny grain of sand. After some further searching, a small pile of sand was found around the table legs. ”

Rong Fei stretched out the tail finger of his right hand and gestured.

"Before and after the loss of the jade seal, the guards have been guarding the door and never left, and if you want to enter the imperial study, you can only enter the windows on both sides. I searched backwards along the direction where the sand was scattered, and sure enough, I found the same sand on the window edge on the east side.

I asked the guards, and it was a fine day, and although there was a light breeze, it was not enough to blow so many grains of sand onto the window edge and into the imperial study. So these grains of sand must have been brought in.

There were only four people who had entered and exited the imperial study that day, His Majesty, Chief Arrest, Wei Gong and Ma Gong. Always catch no mortal dust, and if you think that the sand grains will definitely not be brought in by him. His Majesty, Duke Wei and Duke Ma once went to the Imperial Garden for a walk. Although there are grains of sand in the Imperial Garden, they are mixed with mud, and they are not as pure as those found in the Imperial Study.

To sum up, these grains of sand must have been left behind by the person who stole the jade seal when he entered and exited. Then the next thing is simple, just find out where the sand is in the palace, and who has been in and out of it that day, and then you can identify the suspect.

I thought of the Duke of Wei who said that in June, the two highnesses had dug a pond in the garden where they were playing to practice water warfare. The two highnesses are still young and delicate, and the pond where they practice water warfare must not use mud ponds, so that the water in the pond is muddy and dirty, which is harmful to the body. The water quality of ponds made of sand is much cleaner.

So I approached the two Highnesses under the pretext of telling a story, thinking that I could ask for some useful information. It just so happened that His Royal Highness the King of Qi asked about my identity at that time, and learned that I was the catcher of the Immortal Division, and when I entered the palace this time to find the lost items, the reactions and expressions of the two Highnesses were a little strange.

I had a whim, wondering if the loss of the jade seal could be related to the two highnesses? Combined with the blind spot between the guards guarding the door and the window of the imperial study, even if ordinary people bend down and squat, because of their large size, they may still be discovered.

However, if two children were squatting and squatting, they could perfectly avoid the observation range of the guards' eyes. Moreover, the window edge of the study is not high, so children with light and nimble bodies can climb into it.

Although I had some doubts in my heart at that time, the two highnesses had noble statuses, and it was always difficult for me to ask directly. So he told a few small stories of lying and suffering a big loss, hoping to make the two highnesses understand the truth in the story, realize the mistake and the seriousness of the matter, and take the initiative to confess.

And the two highnesses did have the intention of repenting and told me what had happened. It turned out that when the two highnesses were practicing siege warfare that day, the weight and shape of the projectile used on the small catapult were not suitable, and they could not be thrown too far to hit the city wall, so they looked around for the time to throw the object.

After looking for it, I somehow touched the imperial study, and found that the size and weight of a stone in the imperial case were quite suitable, so I took it out. The two highnesses didn't know that it was a jade seal, but it was just an ordinary jade, and they played with it on the stone throwing machine a few times, and then accidentally fell into the golden scale pool. ”

After listening to Rong Fei's narration, the expressions on Zhu Sheng and Yu Qingzhi's faces became a little strange, as if they wanted to laugh and as if they wanted to be angry.

But he couldn't laugh or get angry.

The source of these recent incidents turned out to be because of the playfulness of two naughty boys.

This... This... It's too child's play.

Therefore, Liu Shoufu, who was drugged and caused to vomit blood and fell into a coma, is so innocent!

Zhu Cheng, the king of Yong, who thinks he has the ticket to victory and gives it a go, is unwilling!

In recent days, Zhu Sheng, who has not eaten well and slept well, and has begun to lose a lot of hair before he is in the thirties, is so... How... Alas!

Zhu Sheng didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

Two little brutes, after dealing with the affairs of the court, I will clean you up.

Zhu Sheng secretly said fiercely in his heart, and then asked another question that had been bothering him.

"How did you know that Fan Liren had taken refuge in Zhu Cheng, and Fei Yuwei would prevent the two of you from leaving the palace, and then thought of using the identity of Princess Yueyao to take the jade seal out of the palace?"

"At that time, I didn't know that Feiyuwei had taken refuge in King Yong, but I suddenly realized that the whole thing was missing a key link, and it was this link that I thought of that made me guess that the palace must be full of obstacles."

Rong Fei replied.

"Oh, what's the link?"

"Since the jade seal was lost by the two highnesses when they were playing, and it was not instructed by King Yong to steal it, then where did King Yong know that the jade seal was lost and began to lay out everything? At that time, only His Majesty, Chief Arrest, Wei Gong and Ma Gong knew that the jade seal was lost. The person who leaked the news is definitely not His Majesty, and it will not be the chief arrest, so there will only be two people left, Wei Gong and Ma Gong.

Both of them knew that I was looking for the jade seal in the palace, and if the jade seal was not found, it would be fine, but I was not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case. It is a matter of life and wealth, and in order to be on the safe side, to ensure that the plan on the side of the altar can be carried out smoothly, it is inevitable that a card will be set up to intercept the entrance and exit of the palace gate.

At that time, the only person I knew in the palace was the six princesses, and the loyalty of the six princesses and His Majesty's mothers did not need to be questioned, coupled with their noble status, they were naturally the best candidates to take the jade seal out of the palace.

On the other hand, Xiao Shunzi and I deliberately caused a riot on the other side to attract Fei Yuwei's attention and allow the sixth princess to leave the palace smoothly. ”

Zhu Sheng's face became extremely ugly after listening to the explanation, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy and angry.

Fan Liren, Wei Lin, and Ma Hong were all Zhu Sheng's most trusted confidants, but they turned out to be betrayed one after another, which was a blow to him that was more difficult to accept than being besieged by the Yongdang on the sacrificial rooftop.

"Is it Wei Lin? Or Mahon? Or did they both betray me? ”

Zhu Sheng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm... Because I have had contact with Wei Gong, I prefer to believe that Wei Gong is innocent from a personal point of view. However, the verdict of the case should be objective and empirical. So when I was in the Warm Wind Pavilion, I inquired about the situation of the two fathers-in-law from the queen mother and the virtuous concubine.

Betrayal is the most despicable act, so the betrayer must have a plan. But the status of the two fathers-in-law is now at the top, and there is no shortage of wealth and power. I can't think of anything else that would make them make that choice. ”

This is also the only doubt that Rong Fei did not understand in the whole incident.

Wei Lin? Or Mahon?

Zhu Sheng closed his eyes, and the faces of the two people alternated in his mind.

Even the arbitrary Rong Fei couldn't determine which of the two was a traitor, and Zhu Sheng couldn't tell the difference.

However, this kind of problem is not difficult for him.

It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go.

Since it was not certain who was the traitor, they were all killed.

The closed eyes suddenly opened, Zhu Sheng's eyes became resolute again, and he made a decision in his heart.

Knock knock knock...

There was the sound of hurried footsteps from far and near, and finally stopped in front of the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, out... Something went wrong. ”

Wei Lin's voice came through the door, panting and choking.

"What kind of body is in a panic, come in and talk."

Zhu Sheng shouted in a deep voice, and the cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The door was pushed open, revealing Wei Lin's old face full of tears and sweat.

"Your Majesty!"

Staggering across the threshold and stumbling to his knees in front of the imperial case, Wei Lin cried with tears in her eyes.

"Old Ma, he... He's dead! ”

What?

Mahon is dead!

Zhu Sheng and Rong Fei were both shocked, but Yu Qingzhi still looked unfazed.

"Tell me what's going on."

Zhu Sheng asked.

On the way to escort a group of rebel ministers to the Imperial Prison with the forbidden army, a group of black-clothed men with crossbow arrows suddenly rushed out and released arrows at the escort team. In the chaotic arrows, Fan Liren was shot into a hedgehog on the spot, and Lao Ma and more than a dozen forbidden soldiers also unfortunately suffered. ”

"Can you catch a live mouth?"

"I didn't catch it alive. The group of men in black moved extremely fast, and after shooting two rounds of arrows, they fled after seeing that Fan had no chance of life. Commander Zuo Kui had already surrounded the area and was searching from house to house. ”

"Kill people!"

Rong Fei suddenly slapped his thigh hard, jumped up and shouted.

"So that's the case, why didn't I think of it earlier!"
