Chapter 123: Inference
"At that time, the general, like many brothers, was responsible for searching the boats brought by Liu Du's envoy, and the things on them were actually known, but they were just a few shortages, and their father and eldest brother were not there, so naturally they should be kept an eye on by the ministers."
"Everything was fine, and there was no deviation, and when it was almost over, Her Royal Highness the princess stopped the minister...... This was seen even by the people of Ma Junsi, it was the princess who called the ministers. ”
Wang Shun honestly confessed, and everyone didn't interrupt, and it was only at this time that Liu Bang couldn't help but ask:
"You don't know each other, what did she tell you to do?"
Wang Shundao: "I really don't know, at that time, the minister didn't know that she was Princess Gongfu, and thought it was the family members brought by Liu Du, we were originally the Qian family of the investigation, and Liu Duzhi had nothing to do with it, she called the minister, and the minister thought that there was any news to be revealed, and it was inconvenient to share it with others, so he followed her over. ”
"And then?"
Then, when she reached the stern of the boat and where there were few people, the minister asked her what was the matter, but who knew that she did not even say a word, but jumped directly into the river.
"She jumped on her own?"
Wang Shun also knew that this matter was difficult for people to accept, but it was the case, and he did not dare to deceive the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if the minister has half a lie, he will be killed by thunder, fall into the river and drown, choke to death while eating, sleep and die, and he will definitely not be able to get a life."
A younger sister who has never been masked, and a military general who gets along day and night, Liu Bang has already made calculations in his heart since the beginning of the fight.
Now seeing that Wang Shun swore a poisonous oath, he already believed him completely, but he thought that the woman had finally escaped from the hands of the Jin people, and let go of a good life, but what did it mean to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
No, he thought of something, got up again, and walked outside.
Everyone didn't know what Zhao Guan's family had found, one by one, and the fish ran out of the cabin, until they saw that the emperor first went to the bow of the ship, poked his head out, and then to the hull and stern of the ship, all of which were exactly the same movements.
After reading it, everyone returned to the cabin, Liu Bang thought about it with his cheeks and asked:
"Can the body be found? If you live to see people die, you have to see corpses, and everyone only saw her jump into the river, but they didn't see her die with their own eyes. ”
Liu Jian stepped forward and said, "Whether it's Ma Junsi or Ruisheng Jun...... I didn't see the princess, but there was a little Wang Erlang who forgot, some people said that after the princess fell, she floated a pool of blood. ”
"That's strange," Liu Bang muttered to himself, "as you saw just now, the river at this ferry is flowing very slowly, and they found it when they fell into the water, and if they were right, they should have found it when they went into the water to look for them." ”
"But no."
Wang De became excited: "I said that it is strange, the river is not the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, where can you instantly rush someone and disappear?!" Fortunately, Your Majesty Shengming returned my son's innocence! ”
Liu Bang glanced at him: "Innocent of your mother's innocence, your kid will really climb up the pole." ”
"However, everyone can say that the princess is not made of mud, and can it not be melted in water? Let's just assume that what Wang Erlang said is true, and let's think about it. ”
"Say what you want, say nothing."
Xin Ciying, who has been the Yin of Lin'an Mansion, has a job of judging and judging cases, and now in this group of people, he can be regarded as half a professional, the old man stroked his beard and said:
"Or, the water is too fast, and as soon as people go there, they will disappear in an instant...... However, as the official said, this place is the place where the Taikang ferry and the ship stays, so this possibility can be ruled out. ”
said that it was equal to not saying it, Liu Bang summed up the things he discovered, but it seemed to be his credit, and the emperor glared at him:
"You kid, pick up leftovers to eat."
He fully swore credit for the first inference.
Xin Ciying smiled and said: "Don't worry, the official family, decide the case, it's just to sort out all the possibilities, and then choose one by one, the second possibility, since our premise is that what Wang Erlang said is true, since the princess jumped into the river by herself, is it possible that she swam by herself?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the cabin was much quieter, and it happened that a wave of prodigal slaps came, causing the whole ship to move slightly, and many people who were originally standing almost fell.
"The whirlpool flows from the northwest to the southeast, if Wang Erlang didn't tell a lie, and the people of Ma Junsi didn't tell a lie, then even if they went down to the river early to search, it would only search downstream, but the upstream is easy to be ignored."
"Sure enough, it's Lao Tzu's people!"
As soon as Xin Ciying's second inference came out, Liu Bang hurriedly took the credit, and he hurriedly asked everyone:
"Do you have any other ideas?"
Taiwei Zhang, who was half a beat slower to react, rarely used his brain, but he also thought seriously at this time, after all, he was in the limelight in front of the emperor, he had always given up this kind of opportunity, and he thought about it seriously, and he didn't hear Xin Ciying's words for a while.
He also seemed to have thought of something, and quickly stood up, Liu Bang saw it, and hurriedly waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, then call someone ...... first"
"Official," Zhang Jun looked happy, "The minister has thought of it!" ”
Liu Bang pretended not to hear it, and continued: "First call 5,000 people to search from the west, then call 5,000 people to surround the upstream, and then call 5,000 people to ......."
"Officials, ministers have something to say."
Liu Bang's face was a little ugly, and he persuaded Zhang Jun: "Tai Wei, these are several of your old subordinates, otherwise, or forget it." ”
"This matter is related to the safety of the princess, and the minister will never show favoritism!"
Zhang Jun thought that the emperor was worried that he was helping the Wang family father and son speak, so he quickly expressed his attitude.
Liu Bang sighed: "Long story short. ”
"The princess was taken in by the Dragon Lord!"
Zhang Taiwei swore that he directly said his inference, made the Wang family father and son lower their heads, made Liu Jian look like he wanted to speak and stopped, made Han Chang open his mouth wide and didn't laugh, and asked Xin Ciying to look at him like a fool.
"When the former minister was on the edge of the Yellow River, there were often things about the dragon lord accepting people, thinking that it was the princess's daughter, and the local dragon king took a fancy to it, and chose to be a dragon girl!"
"This is a happy event!"
Liu Bang was a little weak: "Then do you want to set off some fireworks to help the fun?" ”
Zhang Jun said: "The official Shengming, the minister will go and prepare!" ”
After saying that, he saluted the emperor, and turned around and walked out of the cabin.
Liu Bang raised his forehead and said: "Leave him alone, and then ask someone to see if there is anything suspicious in the west, there are many of us, so let everyone move." ”
"Whoever finds the princess first will be rewarded with ten dollars."
Ten Runs ...... Everyone couldn't help but smack their tongues, the emperor was really generous to his own sister-in-law.
Except for the small number of people brought by Liu Jian and did not participate, thousands of people from the Ruisheng Army, thousands of people brought by Han Chang, and tens of thousands of people camped on the side, many of them moved.
The purpose was just to search for the whereabouts of the princess, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as this news was released, it would have other effects.
