Following.

During the lunch break, the officials of the Thousand Steps Corridor stopped their official business and prepared to eat.

An inner servant hurriedly ran into the yamen of the criminal department, and almost collided with a few small officials who were walking out.

He kept saying "I'm sorry", and his footsteps did not stop, until he found Li Shao and Xu Jian's outside the house.

"Grandpa Guo," he called, "take a step to speak!" ”

Xu Jian looked up.

It is familiar to everyone, and it should be done in the imperial study.

Xu Jian followed him to the side, and the news of the person who came made him frown: "Where else did the saint know?" ”

"Cining Palace, Prince Ping's Mansion," said the chamberlain, "those two places before the little one came, and I don't know if there were any after that." ”

Xu Jian bowed: "I'll go to the palace." ”

The waiter nodded, said hello to Li Shao again, and ran back.

Li Shao looked at Xu Jian curiously: "The people in front of the emperor, what are you looking for?" ”

Xu Jian thought about it, and said to Li Shao in a suppressed voice: "There is an accident in Yongji Palace, and the minister will only know the specific situation when he enters the palace." ”

"What's going on?" Li Shao subconsciously asked, "Why did my father only call you and didn't tell me?" ”

Xu Jian said: "It seems that there is no discussion on how to deal with the matter at that end, there is a Yongji Palace by your side, and the saint thinks it is not convenient." ”

Li Shao agrees with this statement.

Glancing at Wang Gouzi, who was carrying a food box and walking from a distance, Li Shao touched his chin.

Father is so cautious, I am afraid that something will happen in Yongji Palace.

Recalling Li Jun's yin and yang weird words before, Li Shao laughed twice in his heart: I have walked too much at night, it seems that I have hit a ghost! Well banged!

When Xu Jian rushed to the imperial study, Gonggong Cao came out to greet him.

"Are you sure you're out of gas?" Xu Jian asked, "Has Prince Ping arrived?" ”

"The servant who came to report the news said that he was out of gas," Cao Gong said fairly, "Prince Ping can't come, he heard the news after his blood surged, if it wasn't for the people on the side who helped him quickly, he would have fallen to the ground, and the imperial doctor had already rushed over." ”

Xu Jian nodded and went in to salute the saint.

The saint's complexion is really not good-looking.

Seeing this, Gonggong Cao took the initiative to talk to Xu Jian about the situation: "I said that I slept in the past, and I knew that it was impossible when I listened to it." Yesterday, Grandpa Sun went to the house, and in the middle of the night, there was a man in black who hooked up the palace wall to enter and exit. ”

"That is, the two parties have collapsed, and the other party has directly killed the one in Yongji Palace," Xu Jian said, "They have all made a killing move, and tomorrow morning the dynasty will have to have an explanation, and that person's death will not be hidden for long." ”

Sheng Shang pressed his eyebrows and said, "Since Uncle Ping Huang can't come, you should first bring someone you can rely on to go over and check it." ”

Xu Jian said: "Then let's ask Shuntianfu to come up with two experienced servants." ”

When things are finalized, it's fast.

Shan Shen got the news, brought someone to arrive, looked at the gate of Yongji Palace and rubbed his face.

"The little chamberlain before is past the first seven, right?" Shan Shen asked Xu Jiandao, "Why do you still ask me to do it?" Just check the bottom of the house, I really don't want to get involved in the affairs of Yongji Palace. ”

After saying this, he saw Gonggong Cao standing not far away, his face couldn't help but change, and he smiled awkwardly.

"It is not the inner servant who will be tested today."

These words made Shan Shen breathe a sigh of relief, and when the group entered the main hall and saw Li Jun, who was obviously lying there, his chest was tight, and his eyes were dark.

It turned out to be this one!

Why is this just out of breath?

scolding the mother with a stomach, the single adult is still very reliable.

After he asked Gonggong Cao about his intentions, he asked him to check it, and he called a few chamberlains to inquire about the situation one by one.

Grandpa Sun bore the brunt and replied with a white face.

The rhetoric was as he said to Wang Jie, and he memorized it well.

The mouth is smooth, but the heart is up and down, and his eyes can't help but drift to Grandpa Cao and Xu Jian.

Why didn't these two say anything?

Obviously, someone followed him to and from the house, and there could be a bunch of questions to question him, why didn't anyone speak, just the adults followed the usual questions?

He called Shan Shen over.

Xu Jian and Gonggong Cao followed over to take a look.

"There's a bruise here, it looks new, there's a cut in the corner of the mouth, and in the mouth, you look here, there's some very fine powder, and the small one has scraped a little."

Grandpa Sun pricked up his ears and was dumbfounded when he heard a few words.

What's going on?

How is it completely different from Wang Jie?

What Wang Jie clearly said is that there will be no bruises, and the powder will not be found!

Did Wang Jie make a mistake, or was he lying to him?

But Li Jun died like this, what good is it for the master?

Grandpa Sun's head couldn't think of these things at all, and he was stunned and motionless.

After a short time, the scene was properly checked, Gonggong Cao led people to block the Yongji Palace, and all the palace people were locked up and waited for the follow-up questioning, and then he returned to the imperial study with Shan Shen and Xu Jian.

Shan Shen has already sorted out his thoughts along the way: "Judging from the current situation, it should be that he died of being drugged, and His Highness struggled before he died." ”

As for who that person was, Shan Shen didn't dare to talk nonsense rashly in front of the emperor.

The saint listened: "Let people quickly test the medicinal powder, and work hard to love Qing." ”

Shan Shen understood people, and said "not hard" on his lips, so he retreated.

Only Gonggong Cao and Xu Jian were left in front of the palace.

The saint sighed: "I was originally worried that the third brother would threaten me with his life and put me in a dilemma, but I didn't expect that he would die at the hands of others in the end. It seems that the murderer is the one who climbed over the palace wall and entered Yongji Palace last night? ”

"It should be," Gonggong Cao pondered the thoughts of the saint and said, "If you are decisive at that time and arrest people, maybe Your Highness will not be poisoned." ”

When Xu Jian heard this, he glanced at Gonggong Cao.

The imperial front of the Great Inner Servant is the Great Inner Servant, who understands the Holy Lord well enough, and retreats as advances, but it is the most effective.

Sure enough, the saint himself shook his head: "The third brother and that person have a broken talk, how can I save him?"

If I put my hand into Yongji Palace, the third brother was reluctant not to say anything.

Something really happened, and I couldn't tell it more and more clearly. ”

This point, when Xu Jian came back from Yongji Palace, they agreed clearly.

Li Jun can't be inferred from common sense, he is crazy and doesn't care.

If this stretches his hand in, Li Jun is afraid that his heart will be crossed, and he will cause a lot of trouble for nothing.

"I just didn't figure it out," the saint said, "why did he poison the third brother like this?"

This thing has done far more harm than good to him, he has been seeking stability and peace in his previous work, and after being caught with his tail, he broke his tail to survive, why is he so radical this time?

That's not his style!

I thought that the third brother must have thought the same way, thinking that the other party would not dare to do this, so he dared to talk about the conditions.

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party's sword suddenly went off the rails. ”

"Maybe the tail he was caught this time couldn't be cleaned," Xu Jian said, "The minister thinks, it can basically be concluded that it is the King of Jin who is hiding behind his back." ”

Sheng Shang narrowed his eyes and motioned for Xu Jian to continue.

Xu Jian sorted out his thoughts.

Previously, only Li Jun's rhetoric pointed to the King of Jin, and the rest was not enough.

But now, there is more evidence.

"There is an inner servant surnamed Lao who has served the biological mother of the King of Jin, Zhang Xuan, nicknamed Little Mouse, and recognized the former emperor's Ruan Guiren and the former Emperor Tong's father-in-law as his cousin.

Zhang Xuanzhi wanted to order a few dishes before he died, and the little mouse begged to go to the imperial dining room, and it could be seen that he was doing his best for Zhang Xuan.

Gonggong Tong took great care of the little mouse, and the little mouse left the palace a few years after being transferred to the King of Jin, because Concubine Dong Niangniang was too controlling the King of Jin.

The cause of Concubine Dong's death is suspicious, and it is very likely that His Royal Highness King Ding died of the same poison, guessing that the reason is that the King of Jin avenged Zhang Xuan, and there were Lingnan people around Concubine Dong, and she poisoned Zhang Xuan.

Through Master Shan's investigation, the real owner of the house that Grandpa Sun went to was surnamed Lao, and he should be the little mouse.

With his feelings for Tong's father-in-law, it also makes sense to walk outside and claim to be surnamed Tong.

Yesterday, Wang Gouzi went to Yongji Palace under the pretext of Touqishangxiang, and the minister thought that His Royal Highness had inadvertently said that he had leaked his mouth.

If the prince of Jin knew that His Royal Highness had recalled the events of that night in Dingguo Temple, and knew that the Holy Lord had already investigated deeply, then he suddenly poisoned the person in Yongji Palace, but there was a reason for it. ”

Cao Gonggong's head.

In this matter, he and Fu Guogong are of the same idea.

Catching a few eunuchs out is purely half the effort.

Either it's as bad as Wang Liunian to pry his mouth open, or like Feng Taste and spit out, it's all leftovers, it can't be said that it's useless, it's just effortless.

There is also a kind of ignorance when you ask three questions, and you will feel bad when you look at it.

It's better to keep fishing.

Fishing and fishing, isn't this a big king eight gradually coming out of the water?

The saint's face sank a little.

If it was said that there were originally three points of suspicion about King Jin, there were naturally eight points at this moment.

"What you said, I believe it," he said, "but these are all old things, whether it is Zhang Xuanzhi or Concubine Dong, they are all people who have passed away for many years, how can they reach a conclusion?"

I can give a definite account of the death of the king, which was the sixth year of the king.

Now, who can recognize the cause of Concubine Dong's death? ”

Xu Jian looked at the saint and said: "When I went to Yongji Palace that day, His Royal Highness mentioned it to the minister, and he changed places, and he went crazy and killed him, and the saint is different from him, you want to be famous." This is undoubtedly your advantage, but the minister thinks that there may not be so much time for you to check the bottom of King Jin carefully. ”

"He has directly attacked the third brother, it is indeed urgent," the saint said, "But I still don't know anything, he has let it go, why don't you just come and kill me?" He has this ability, why didn't he attack me before? ”

Xu Jian replied very bluntly: "It's useless for him to kill you, he wants to kill too many people."

As soon as you ascended the throne, you were crowned prince, and if something happened to you, it would be His Royal Highness who succeeded him, who was young at the time, but there was no shortage of auxiliary ministers.

Not to mention Prince Ping, Wen has the old lady of Zhou who was an ancient a few years ago, Wu Youchen's grandfather, and the old town Nangong, and the queen mother in the palace to preside, the prince of Jin wants to cross everyone and take the road of regency.

In the final analysis, he is actually a little bit like the Holy Lord, even if he wants to seize the throne, he also tries to take the path of 'being famous'.

originally wanted to take over the holy decree from the hands of the first emperor, but then lurked down and slowly figured it out.

The unjustifiable forced palace is not the result he wants.

But right now, the minister felt that his thoughts might have changed somewhat.

It's not that he will suddenly raise the flag to force the palace, but he is no longer restrained in his actions, what if he kills His Royal Highness Li Jun and becomes addicted, even if he is defeated, he still wants your life? ”

The saint was noncommittal, and his eyes were gloomy.

Xu Jian said again: "Now it seems that it is you or him, who will give up the teacher first to become famous." ”

Thank you for the reward from the small courtyard of the book friend.
