Chapter 357; Differing opinions

The next day, there was no court meeting, so Emperor Zhaowu got up half an hour later than usual.

When Gao Fu waited for him to dress, he whispered.

"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin and Commander Zhao of the Soldiers and Horses arrived outside the imperial study early in the morning and waited to see you."

Emperor Zhaowu's brows furrowed slightly, and he waited until he was fully dressed before he spoke; "Do you know why?"

"The old slave asked people to ask, but they didn't get a response."

After a while, Emperor Zhaowu walked out of the Dragon Head Palace, and yesterday he didn't go to Fengqi Palace to rest because he was too late to deal with the twists.

"Why did the two Aiqing come early, I heard that there is something to see me? Come on in. ”

Emperor Zhaowu saw Jing Zhaoyin and the others from a distance, and greeted them with a warm smile.

The two hurriedly saluted and said hello.

Then he followed Emperor Zhaowu into the imperial study.

"Tell me, what made you come early in the morning to see me?"

The two glanced at each other, but it was Commander Zhao who stood up first and arched his hand; "Emperor Qiqi, last night, when the captain of a patrol squad under his ministers passed by Qingshi Alley, he heard from the people that there were gangsters in the alley."

"They immediately rushed to the scene, and before entering the alley, they heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and then they saw a number of people in black running and retreating."

"The team leader led some people to pursue unsuccessfully, and turned back to Bluestone Lane"

This was followed by some discoveries at the time, and the team leader reported to him, and he invited Jing Zhaoyin to go to the scene with him.

He paused when he said this, and Jing Zhaoyin on the side stood up and bowed.

"When I arrived, I found that there were now seven corpses."

He described what the discovery of the case was like.

Emperor Zhaowu, who was at the top, was a little puzzled when he heard it, you can just investigate the murder case yourself, can you run to the palace early in the morning to report to him? And it is reported in such detail?

He was about to interrupt, but then he thought of something, and his eyes darkened.

Jing Zhaoyin and Zhao commanded the envoys, he still had a certain understanding.

These two people are quite good at handling things, and it is absolutely impossible for them to come together early in the morning because of such a solemn murder case.

He immediately listened attentively.

"After the minister's visit and investigation at the scene of the crime, two of the deceased were a pair of master and servants, who should have traveled by car, and then were robbed and killed."

"The master and servant who was killed, one of the masters is named Zhao Sanshun, and there is an eldest brother in his family who is the housekeeper of the Qi Palace."

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to have some new guesses.

Sure enough, the next moment, I listened to Jing Zhaoyin continue; "The other five corpses, all dressed in night clothes, after judgment, should be killers, the five people are not a group, but divided into two."

"Then the squad leader of the Terracotta Division picked up two waist cards at the scene."

As he spoke, he took out two waist cards from his arms, Gao Fu hurriedly stepped forward to take them, just glanced at them, and he chuckled in his heart.

didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent the waist card to Emperor Zhaowu's desk.

Emperor Zhaowu lowered his eyes and looked at the two waist cards, and recognized them at a glance.

I thought in my heart, no wonder Jing Zhaoyin and Commander Zhao came to see each other early in the morning, and they couldn't handle the emotional matter.

The people of the king of Qi traveled, but they were robbed and killed, and it is not clear who moved the specific prince and the king of Chu, but the people of the two also moved each other, and there were dead and wounded, because the soldiers and horses suddenly arrived and they didn't have time to take away the corpse.

Well, all three sons were involved all at once.

One prince and two princes, and these two people will be like this in front of them.

"Then is there an investigation to find out who killed that Zhao Sanshun first?"

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head and asked for sin; "The minister didn't know that the on-site investigation did not find anything else at that time, and the follow-up minister still had time to investigate."

In this regard, Emperor Zhaowu understood his thoughts very well, and it was related to his three sons, and Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to investigate it.

So I came to him early in the morning to report, in fact, I wanted to see what he meant.

If he says he wants to check, then check.

"You go and pass on the crown prince, the king of Qi, and the king of Chu."

Gao Fu retreated.

The three of them seemed to have known that there would be such an incident today, so they all prepared early, heard the word, and rushed to the imperial study all the time.

The crown prince arrived first, and before he could salute as soon as he entered the door, he heard a low reprimand from Emperor Zhaowu.

"Get on your knees."

In the face of the reprimand of the old father and the emperor, the prince did not dare to resist at all, and knelt down honestly.

Immediately after the king of Chu came, he was treated like the prince and knelt down when he entered the door.

The last to arrive was the King of Qi, Emperor Zhaowu had just finished scolding, and after the King of Qi knelt down, he immediately spoke; "Ask your father to be the master of your sons."

"Last night, the younger brother of the housekeeper in the Erchen Mansion, helping the two go out to run errands, was attacked and killed in Qingshi Lane, and the Erchen heard that the prince and the king of Chu were found now."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly picked up the matter, and he had no intention of covering it up.

As soon as his words fell, the prince hurriedly bowed his hand; "Erchen is guilty, Erchen did send someone over, but he was not the one who attacked and killed the King of Qi, Erchen just heard that the King of Chu was going to do something to King Qi, and arranged for someone to go over to stop it, but unfortunately he was a step late."

"Hmph, what's too late, it's obviously too late to withdraw."

As soon as the king of Chu heard that the prince wanted to blame himself for the matter, he also understood at the moment that if he didn't open his mouth, then the king of Qi would suspect that he had robbed the money, and his father would only think about him.

He hated that his father and emperor would not return to fight with his sons in the court, but he definitely did not want to see a confrontation in private.

"Father, Erchen also arranged for people to go over, but when Erchen's people arrived, the people in the carriage were already dead, and a group of black-clothed people were carrying something from the car, and Erchen's people appeared to stop it, so they fought together."

"Those two masters and servants were not killed by the sons and servants."

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes swept back and forth between the crown prince and the king of Chu, and it was obvious that this matter was the hand sent by these two people, and the king of Qi was the victim.

But now the two sons have their own opinions, and they all say that they didn't kill people first, and at this time he is also a little confused, and he doesn't know who to believe.

"King Chu, you just said that you saw someone carrying things? What is it? ”

"I don't know."

King Chu shook his head directly.

Regarding the purchase of shares, the three brothers had a tacit understanding and did not intend to let their father know.

And yesterday's incident, King Qi may not know who took the money, but he knows it very well in his heart.

King Qi is the victim, the prince is the beneficiary, and he doesn't say anything about it, listening to what the prince said just now, he still wants to put the pot on his head.

If the King of Qi secretly bought shares at this time, then everyone would have to say it, and the King of Qi would hate him, if the two joined forces today, he would have no chance of winning.

Therefore, now he has only the crown prince to deal with, and King Qi will let it go for the time being.
