Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the ministers and trembled with anger.

But I can't talk about this group of old ministers.

If Yan Xiliang and the others really crashed to death on the pillar of Cining Palace, the government and the opposition would definitely be in turmoil.

What will be the consequences of separating from the ministers, Empress Dowager Zhang knows very well.

"It's late at night."

"Let's all go back and rest."

"The mourning family will think about it."

Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Empress Dowager Zhang could only take a step back and speak.

She used to think that as long as King Qin entered Beijing and the concubine case was clarified, the crown prince Guo Tianyi's charges would be confirmed.

In that case, no one will object.

However, now that Guo Tianyi has arrived directly in the capital, the ministers know about her secret edict, so naturally they will not agree.

The current situation can only be taken a step back.

"The ministers are leaving."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, got up and exited Cining Palace in turn.

With the Queen Mother's words, they were relieved.

The other side.

After Guo Tianyi arrived in the capital and set up camp.

The surviving Jinyi guards in the capital all went out of the city smoothly.

Qiu Yu, Niu Qianhu, Wu Qianhu and other responsible persons all met Guo Tianyi.

At this moment, everyone gathered together, and Guo Tianyi was asking about the beginning and end of Concubine Rong's case.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"The king's mother and uncle told the king the details before they were imprisoned."

Guo Tianyi had a calm face and looked at the crowd.

He was in a bad mood.

If he could, he would now be eager to go straight to the Forbidden City.

However, he could not do so.

"Your Highness, I was a guest at my friend's house that night, and Concubine Rong followed His Highness's instructions and personally delivered medicine to His Majesty in order to ease relations with His Majesty."

"But after His Majesty drank the medicine, he immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma, which caused chaos in the palace."

"Subsequently, our Jinyi brothers in the capital were attacked by unknown persons."

"And these people are extremely well-informed, they are all killed at home, and many brothers are killed in their sleep, so aggrieved...."

Qiu Yu, as an important civil servant under his command, took the lead in speaking.

"Qiu Yu, you know all these kings you said." Guo Tianyi frowned and said, "It's been a few days since the incident, apart from these, haven't you found the rest of the information?" ”

"Your Highness, if the minister can't find out the rest of the information, he won't have the face to see His Highness at this moment?" Qiu Yu smiled slightly, and then said to Niu Qianhu, "Niu Qianhu, bring people up." ”

"No!"

Niu Qianhu was burly and powerful, and quickly got out of the camp tent and pulled up a man in black who was covered in bruises.

It seems that this person has been in Jinyiwei's Zhao Prison for a few days.

And there are traces of execution all over the body.

I can't see it clearly.

"Kill me."

"If you don't kill me, I will look down on you..."

Even though the man in black was lying on the ground like a dead dog, his mouth was still very hard.

"Your Highness, this person is one of the assassins, he was captured alive by the Jinyi Wei brothers, and the rest of the assassins disappeared without a trace after dawn..."

"It's also a good mouth, he actually chose to stay in the Qinglou chic."

"If it weren't for that, the ministers wouldn't have been able to catch him."

Niu Qianhu looked at Guo Tianyi and reported the cause and effect.

"Jingzhou accent?"

"Could it be the people of King Jin?"

Guo Tianyi listened to this person's accent and said secretly in his heart.

However, it is impossible for the King of Jin to know the detailed information of Jinyiwei in the capital.

And this kind of person is a person in the rivers and lakes at a glance, and he has not let go of his mouth so far, and obviously he will not explain anything.

It's the same as the last time I was assassinated.

The last time I encountered the Assassins, they were all like that.

Dafeng rangers have become popular, both righteous and evil.

Some rangers rob the rich and help the poor, while others specialize in using money to eliminate disasters.

The person in front of him belongs to the latter.

And it's hard bones.

"Forget it."

"Kill it."

Guo Tianyi thought for a moment and waved his hand.

Jinyiwei's torture instruments and punishments are all designed by themselves.

It's much more powerful than the Zongren Mansion of the Criminal Department.

If he does not confess under such torture, it will be fruitless to continue the retrial.

"Hahaha."

"Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again."

The man in black seemed to be extremely happy, he had already lived a life of licking blood from the knife in his life, and he was deeply guilty.

Besides, his hands and feet have been broken now, and he is already a waste.

It is worse to live than to die.

In a short time, the head of the man in black had already landed.

"Any other clues?" Guo Tianyi soothed his mood and looked at everyone and continued.

"Your Highness, there is another clue." Wu Qianhu spoke up, "The ministers fought bloodily that night, and they also killed many assassins, but the strange thing is that these assassins and the dead Jinyiwei's corpse are gone. ”

"So..."

"In the following days, the ministers will disguise themselves and investigate the whereabouts of the corpses."

"The emperor lived up to his wishes, and the ministers found traces of the soil turning and being buried in a forest on the outskirts of the capital."

"Sure enough, there are not only the bodies of the dead Jinyi Guard's colleagues, but also the bodies of the assassins who were killed by the counter-killing."

In order not to let the situation escalate.

Naturally, the people behind the scenes would choose to bury the body.

But because of the rush of time, they had no choice but to choose here.

If you are smart and have enough time, burning the body is the best option.

It's a pity that it was this step that allowed Wu Qianhu and others to find important clues on the assassin's corpse.

"Oh?"

"What clues?"

Guo Tianyi's eyes lit up, and he secretly did not cultivate these brocade guards in vain.

The ability to adjudicate cases is still okay.

In ancient times, although it was not a pure society governed by the rule of law, evidence still came first.

Wu Qianhu arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, there is an assassin, who seems to be the small leader of this team, he has a letter with Ye Sanniang, and then the ministers investigated according to the information of the letter, and the spearhead is pointed at one person..."

Guo Tianyi's pupils shrank, and he said loudly, "Who?" ”

The cold light flashed in Wu Qianhu's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Xie Zhida!" ”

"Sure enough, it's them!"

Guo Tianyi also had a murderous surge in his heart.

I thought of it a long time ago.

Concubine Shu is a woman who looks like a fox, but her methods are ruthless.

Otherwise, his son would not have become emperor later in the canonical history.

And Xie Zhida took advantage of this to once lean towards the government and the opposition.

deliberately summoned people from the south to misjudge the people on his side.

first sowed discord, let his mother and Emperor Fengjing have a disagreement, and then continued to frame him.

Perhaps, even the removal of one's military power was suggested by these people.

Perhaps, it was his own people who found Song Shijie and made Concubine Shu and others jump off the wall in a hurry.

But now, even if he knows Song Shijie, he also knows that all this was planned by Concubine Shu and others, but there is no evidence that everything is idle.

If he forcibly entered Beijing and informed the Queen Mother of these things, he would even be charged with framing the important ministers of the imperial court of his mother and concubine.

Guo Tianyi smiled coldly and said loudly, "Pass the order to this king, strictly investigate Concubine Xie Zhida and others, and then expand the Jinyi Guard Yamen, this king must see favorable evidence in the shortest possible time." ”

"No!"

Qiu Yu and others received orders one after another.

The Jinyi Wei that Guo Tianyi took with him when he went out also joined the investigation of Concubine Rong's case.

Now, Guo Tianyi can rest assured that he can expand the scale of Jinyiwei.
