Chapter 128: Blame
Xu Yougong and Di Ren distinguished the separation of the regent's palace, Xu Yougong went straight to the Criminal Prison Division, took Li Jing's handwritten edict, and brought all the people serving around Li Xian to the Criminal Department for interrogation.
Di Renjie entered the palace and went to the scene of the crime to check to see if he could find any clues, Di Renjie carefully checked the scene of the crime, and after some searching, he did not find any useful clues.
Di Renjie went to search the place where the maid and the waiter lived, but found nothing.
"There are no clues, I just don't know if Xu Shilang's side has found anything!"
Di Renjie left the palace and went to the Criminal Department to look for Xu Yougong and see if he had any clues there.
"Di Shaoqing, what do you have to gain over there?"
Just after the interrogation, he happened to bump into Di Renjie coming to him, Xu Yougong immediately stepped forward to ask.
In order to facilitate their investigation of the case, Li Jing promoted Xu Yougong to the squire of the Criminal Department and Di Renjie to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"I searched carefully, but I didn't find any clues, I don't know how your trial is going?"
Di Renjie informed the results of the search and inquired about the results of the interrogation.
"After my interrogation, one of the maids confessed......"
Xu Yougong said, approaching Di Renjie and whispering in his ear the facts of the case he had gotten.
"Really?"
Di Renjie was shocked when he heard this!
If this is the case, he probably knows how the poison came from, and he only needs to take the maid's belongings for testing, and if it is found to be poisonous, it will prove that she is right.
Then, after tracing according to the origin of the article, I will be able to lock on to a target by all means!
"It's true!"
Xu Yougong nodded, he didn't expect Li Xian to die in a fragrant affair, it was really unguardable!
After getting the confirmation, Di Renjie smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, Li Xian was under house arrest, he had nothing to do on weekdays, and it was normal to be happy with the maids.
Immediately, Di Renjie took someone into the palace again, packed all the maid's things, and took them for testing.
When the first rays of light in the early morning pierced the night, the drums of Daming Palace sounded, followed by the drums of the entire Chang'an City, and the palace gate, the imperial city gate, and the gate of Fang City slowly opened at the moment when the drum sounded.
The silent Chang'an is lively again at this moment!
In the Regent's Palace, there was a sound of broken porcelain coming from Li Jing's bedroom, and the maid who was waiting for Li Jing to change her clothes was trembling at the moment, not daring to make a sound.
At this moment, Li Jing's mood was very bad, and his face became extremely ugly, like an enraged beast.
Ximen Yang was on the side, quietly waving his hand at the few frightened maids, signaling them to go out quickly.
"How did the rumors leak out, and where did it start?"
Li Jing asked with a gloomy face and red eyes.
"How it leaked is still being investigated, it is estimated that someone deliberately released the rumor, at first it was started in the West City, and when Jin Wuwei arrived, there were also rumors of your killing of the king in the East City! However, the good thing is that it is now under control!"
Ximen Yang Road.
No one thought that Li Xian was poisoned, and it would be spread by people with intentions, and it would become Li Jing instructing people to kill the king, and now everyone in Chang'an City knows that Li Jing is the second Sima Zhao.
Rumors that were unfavorable to Li Jing were flying all over the market, and even many ministers came to question Li Jing, but fortunately, Chang'an City had long been blocked, and these rumors only spread in Chang'an City and could not be spread out of the city.
We can't let it go on like this anymore, public opinion has always been better than being blocked.
It is not advisable to rudely remove posts on forums or to ignore folk discussions, as in later generations.
Propaganda work is very important!
Only by holding public opinion in our hands and guiding it can we correctly guide the direction of public opinion, so as not to be smeared by people with good intentions and lead us astray.
However, before that, there is one more thing to do, that is, to transfer the charge of killing the monarch to others, to put it simply, it is to find a substitute for the dead ghost and blame the other party, Li Jing already has a candidate in his heart.
Li Jing got dressed and walked out, and the ministers who had been waiting outside for a long time looked at Li Jing, and before they could speak, Li Jing cried loudly, startling everyone!
"Regent, why are you weeping?"
Hubu Shangshu asked suspiciously, could it be that his conscience found out and regretted murdering Emperor Li Xian of Daxing, could it be that the rumors in the market are true, not false rumors?
"I cry that my poor imperial uncle was tragically killed by a traitor, and died so miserably!"
Li Jing cried bitterly on his chest, secretly watching the change in everyone's expressions!
Isn't that traitor you? This is the voice of the ministers!
"It is rumored that the death of Emperor Daxing is related to the regent, I wonder if there is such a thing?"
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu asked, there is a nose and eyes in the market, and Li Jing has a motive, that is, to be the emperor, coupled with the strict guards in the palace, without Li Jing's permission, it is impossible for ordinary people to get close to Li Xian, and it is even more impossible to poison him.
Therefore, Li Xian's death Li Jing is the biggest suspect, and now the direction of public opinion in the market is pointing to Li Jing, and everyone points out that Li Jing is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!
"What nonsense, who slanders this king so much? This king didn't even accept everyone's persuasion to be the emperor, how could he possibly kill the king? ”
Li Jing asked rhetorically, if he wants to be the emperor, he will also take it from Li Xian, he doesn't need to have a safe way, but he uses a dangerous method to get to the throne, unless he is kicked by a donkey!
"Emperor Daxing died, but he was murdered by gangsters, and this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the regent!"
Ximen Yang hurriedly said.
"Then who is going to murder Emperor Daxing?"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu asked, why did others poison Li Xian, and who was good for Li Xian if he died, just after a wave of analysis by Li Jing, the whole thing was aimed at Li Jing.
If Li Xian's death is not beneficial to Li Jing, and the other party wants to kill the king, this person will definitely be able to gain any benefits from it, and the only benefit is the position of the Son of Heaven.
The heirs of Emperor Li Xian of Daxing were all killed in the last Wei rebellion, and the throne of Emperor Daxing was vacant without an heir.
Since ancient times, the father died and the son succeeded, and the brother died and the brother died!
Emperor Daxing has no heirs to the throne, so there is only the throne and the emperor's younger brother, and the closest relationship with Emperor Daxing is only Xiangwang Li Dan, could it be that this matter was done by Xiangwang Li Dan?
Although everyone thought of Li Dan, the prime minister, they didn't fully believe Li Jing's words, what if Li Jing directed and acted by himself?
Before the truth was revealed, he was still skeptical of Li Jing.
"It was the deposed Empress Wei who was beaten into the cold palace, she was unwilling to be abolished, so she colluded with the palace maids around Emperor Daxing and poisoned Emperor Daxing!"
Li Jing wiped a handful of tears and said.
"What?"
Everyone was amazed!
I don't believe what Li Jing said, how could a queen who was deposed and sent to the cold palace have such great ability to do such a thing.
After listening to Li Jing's words, everyone was even more suspicious that he killed the monarch, and no one believed that the abolished queen who was beaten into the cold palace would kill the monarch.
Li Xian is alive, and there is still hope to come out of the cold palace after the abolition, but there is no hope when he dies!
"I know you definitely don't believe it, when I first heard it, I didn't believe it like you, but that's the case, after Di Renjie, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Xu Yougong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, investigated that Wei let her former maid poison Emperor Daxing!"
Li Jing said.
"Is there any evidence?"
Fan Lubing asked.
"Naturally, this is the result of the interrogation of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the maids around Emperor Daxing have all confessed!"
After Li Jing finished speaking, he asked people to show everyone the dossier sent by Xu Yougong.
Everyone looked at it one by one, and the file did prove that Li Xian died on the maid, and finally traced it and found that the poisoned item was the fat powder distributed to the maid in the palace.
As for the cause of Li Xian's death, it is also clearly recorded, how Li Xian was poisoned and how he was poisoned, and it is clearly written in the dossier.
When Li Xian had an in-depth communication with the maid, he couldn't help but eat Nai Nai and died of poisoning.
Everyone was stunned!
Although the cause of death has been ascertained, it can't be explained that this matter has nothing to do with Li Jing, what if Li Jing asked the maid to do this?
I don't rule out the possibility of this!
"Since this matter is related to Wei's, why don't you let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department interrogate Wei's?"
Fan Lubing asked again.
"Knowing that this matter has something to do with Merriam-Webster, I immediately sent someone to interrogate Merriam-Webster, alas! It's a pity that I went one step too late, and Webster hanged himself in the cold palace!"
Li Jing sighed, since he wanted to frame Webster, how could he still let her live, when these people were blocked here, Li Jing had already let the black-clothed guard quietly end up Webster.
Now, even if you rush over immediately, you can only see one corpse!
"And what about Merriam-Webster's maid?"
"Going with Webster can be regarded as being loyal to Webster!"
Since you have done it, then simply do it thoroughly, and give everyone a death without proof, anyway, the real culprit has been caught and sent to the Criminal Prison Department of Zhou Xing and others.
This time, Li Jing is not worried about Zhou Xing and others being tortured to extract confessions, what he wants is to use extraordinary means to find out the black hand behind him, he wants to see who dares to stab him in the back.
"Isn't there no proof of death then?"
Fan Lubing was surprised.
"Yes, they are all dead, and there is no way to ask if they want to, but the death of Emperor Daxing has nothing to do with me!"
Li Jing said.
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, everyone was smart, and they knew that this matter had passed like this, and no one would mention it!
The most important thing now is to establish a new king, and you can't live without a master for a day!
"Regent, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now the emperor of Daxing has returned to the sky, and the regent is invited to ascend the throne and become the emperor!"
At this time, Fu Youyi appeared, and saluted with his crossed hands to persuade Li Jing to be the emperor!
"Knock on the regent to ascend the throne and become emperor!"
Seeing this, everyone also persuaded Li Jing to be the emperor, anyway, the Tang Dynasty is Li Jing's, it is better to ascend the throne and become the emperor now, and avoid unnecessary trouble!
As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so simply enter the palace now, and be the emperor in front of Li Xian's Zi Palace!
