Chapter 161: The Imperial Front Reveals the Truth About the Living Corpse Case (3)
This expectation is stronger than ever, because it was the prince who put it forward.
Jiang Xie was also surprised, did the Huo family collude with the wizard, how could the Crown Prince Donggong know, and still be able to come up with evidence at this critical juncture?
The emperor, who had always been strict with his son, looked at him with a blank face after he said this.
"What does the prince know?"
I saw that Prince Qi ordered someone to carry Huo Yijue's body up, and the skin of the corpse was blue-white, a bit like the skin color after drowning, but he did not die of drowning, with such a skin color, it seems that there are patterns on it.
It is precisely under extremely low temperature conditions that it can be presented.
The emperor tightened his nose and was full of disgust for the dead man: "Prince, Huo Yijue is dead, what are you doing digging up his body?" ”
Huo Yijun was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that in addition to herself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also thought of Huo Yijue, who had dealt with wizards.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the testimony, it would save him trouble.
Jiang Xie re-established his chair, raised his hand, and asked him, "Prince, do you want to use the appearance of Huo Yijue to show that the Huo family is suspected of being a witch?" ”
"That's right, Uncle Huang."
"Xiao Qi remembers that the law of this dynasty strictly prohibits witchcraft, Huo Yijue once had a close personal relationship with the witch Bian Divine Doctor, and Huo Yingjun and Chi have always trusted the so-called Bian Divine Doctor, it is difficult to guarantee that they once knew each other."
After speaking, the prince looked at the Huo family.
In Daye, witchcraft and murder are the same crimes, and there is no room for turning around.
Huo Ling's face was always gloomy, and his face was not shocked.
The emperor was deep in thought, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned his eyes to look at Huo Ling: "Doesn't the elder want to say something?" ”
The Huo family was suspected of collaborating with witches, and under the solemn atmosphere, everyone looked at Huo Shoufu, who had the most power in the DPRK.
The corners of Huo Ling's mouth rose slightly, he got up, dusted his sleeves leisurely, stepped forward to salute, and stared at the emperor: "The old minister is all up to His Majesty, if Yi Jue's death can really prove that my Huo family is in a witch's house, the old minister will apologize for his own crimes, and will never embarrass His Majesty." ”
When the words were spoken, everyone breathed another sigh of relief in their hearts.
Huo Yijun's eyes narrowed slightly, Huo Lao Thief has been an official for many years, and he knows this heavy-hearted emperor very well.
The Huo family's power in the dynasty is intertwined, how can it be so easy to convict Huo Yijue with just one corpse, and the more calm and confident Huo Shoufu is, the more the emperor will hesitate in his heart, even if the Huo family is really guilty, he will think about it repeatedly.
In the stalemate, it was time for her to appear.
Huo Yijun, who had not yet spoken before the emperor, walked in front of everyone, stood beside Huo Ling in a high-profile manner, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, although my eldest brother has a close personal relationship with Doctor Bian, it is all for the treatment of eye diseases, and the prince's evidence cannot show that my Huo family is a witch, and before the murder of the eye gouging case is revealed, no one knows that Doctor Bian is a wizard, so how can he talk about witchcraft?" ”
"And ......"
Huo Yijun's gaze fell on the prince, and his eyes were scorching: "Even in the closing statement of the eye-gouging case, there was not a single word about Doctor Bian being a wizard, may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how are you a wizard?" ”
"Before you accuse the Huo family of witches, is it understandable that you know in advance that Doctor Bian is a wizard than everyone present here?"
As soon as these words came out, they caused waves like thunder.
The crown prince frowned, and immediately knelt in front of the emperor and Jiang Xie: "Father, uncle, Qi'er is wronged, I am ...... I listened to the prefect of Yingdu...... He seems to have seen the Bian Divine Doctor and the Wizard together, so I ......"
The emperor was furious: "Why is the Yingdu prefect still involved in this matter??" What the hell is going on, does it have anything to do with you!! ”
The prince kowtowed and explained in every possible way, but he looked very pale.
The matter that originally pointed to Cheng Yu fell on the prince, which made the trend of the case more and more confusing.
"Your Majesty is angry, this matter really has nothing to do with the prince, my uncle Cheng Yu deliberately wanted to worship the prince, but he listened to the slander and did the stupid thing of bribery, the prince always remembered His Majesty's teachings, did things fairly, acted fairly, acted fairly, and had the support of his own courtiers, and he didn't disdain to form a party for personal gain."
Huo Ling turned his head to look at Huo Yijun, his grandson was actually speaking for the prince, could it be that he supported the prince like King An?
"Huo Qing is right." The emperor calmed down.
Huo Yijun took the opportunity to continue: "Getting back to business, Your Majesty, you can indeed get important clues about this case from my eldest brother's corpse. ”
"The reason why he has blue and white colors and patterns on his body is completely because he has corpse poison in it, and he has been controlled before!"
"Charged?"
Jiang Xie repeated, and then turned his eyes to look at Xiang Xi, who was pretending to be Jiang Sizheng, but he hadn't reported for a long time how to control the corpse from becoming a living corpse.
Now it has been discovered by Huo Yijun!
He got up, walked down the steps, and asked urgently, "How is it charged?" Have you figured out how to turn into a living corpse? ”
