In the imperial study, there was a loud sound of "clang-" that shook the entire ground three times.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers deserve death." Everyone in the hall knelt down in unison, and everyone knelt down, unable to face the emperor's anger.

Emperor Wan Zhen recalled the scene of eating with his daughter and son-in-law at noon, and he spent the whole afternoon reminiscing about this happy moment.

A moment ago, he was still glad that his daughter had grown up slowly and sensible, as long as she did not contaminate human life, he would give her a safe and smooth life in the days to come.

A second later, before the daughter and son-in-law came home, someone gave him such a call.

Who is it that can't get along with his daughter?

If you can't get along with your own daughter, you can't get along with him Emperor Wanzhen.

At this moment, Emperor Wanzhen's face was slapped.

With a sound of "Ping-", Emperor Wan Zhen raised his hand and smashed his commonly used inkstone.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers deserve death." The people continued to confess.

Emperor Wan Zhen took a deep breath slightly, lowered the blood pressure that rushed straight to his head, and with scattered sparks in his eyes, he coldly inspected the group of people in front of him, his eyes were sharp.

It was already winter, and at this time, the entire imperial study, even if there was a stove that was baking all the time, it was as if it had entered an extremely cold place.

Cao Guanping was silent and changed a cup of hot tea for Emperor Wanzhen.

Emperor Wan Zhen grabbed the teacup and poured it into his mouth.

Putting down the teacup, after a while, Emperor Wanzhen spoke.

"You Jingnan."

You Jingnan is the secretary of the Criminal Department of Xi Guo, who is a second grade, not confused when he is old, with a pair of sharp eyes, and his eyes are like stars.

"The minister is here." You Jingnan straightened up and said.

"Call Zhuo Lingfeng, you go to Dali Temple together, I will give you three days, and I will check it well." Emperor Wan Zhen said in a deep voice.

Zhuo Lingfeng is the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the official is the second grade, more than half a hundred years old, with a long beard, he is a representative of the official who speaks correctly and pays attention to the rules in everything.

"Yes." You Jingnan stood up straight, saluted Emperor Wanzhen, and left the imperial study.

After You Jingnan left, Emperor Wanzhen called everyone to calm down and continue to discuss the previous matter.

The main hall of Dali Temple.

Zhuang Guangxu sat in the middle of the hall, and You Jingnan and Zhuo Lingfeng sat on both sides.

On either side stood the officials.

Shen Qi still sat aside, silent.

In the middle of the hall, Shangguan Lan no longer even had the strength to cry, and stood next to Fang Jixiang's corpse.

With a word, the emperor directly came to an informal three-division trial, and in this case, Zhuang Guangxu did not shirk it, so he spoke.

"Who's in the hall?"

"Shangguan Lan, a grass people, is the old bustard of Luanxiang Garden." Shangguan Lan kowtowed to everyone in the hall.

"Why do you sue Princess Shu Ning?" Zhuang Guangxu continued.

"Princess Shu Ning destroyed my Luanxiang Garden and killed me as the top brand of Luanxiang Garden." Shangguan Lan shouted, "My lord, kill people to pay for your life!" ”

Zhuang Guangxu observed Shangguan Lan from head to toe.

This old bustard, when he was ordered to check Luanxiang Garden, he had investigated, he was born in the land of Goolan since he was a child, and then became the male pet of some dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city, and finally went to Luanxiang Garden to be an old bustard, and there is nothing special about the whole life trajectory.

As for how many people he slept with, Zhuang Guangxu couldn't find out.

These are not the point, the point is, who is the person behind this Luanxiang Garden.

In the column of the owner of Luanxiangyuan, only his Shangguan Lan's name is written, that is to say, starting from the store, this line is broken.

The only one who can break through is Shangguan Lan herself.

Zhuang Guangxu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You tell me the truth." Zhuang Guangxu said.

"After Shen Qi left Luanxiangyuan that night, Jixiang kept himself in the room and didn't come out, and it took a long time before I entered the house. I saw Jixiang crying alone inside. ”

"But no matter how I ask, Jixiang just refuses to speak, and no one knows what Princess Shu Ning and Jixiang did inside that night, scaring Jixiang like that."

"Early the next morning, I saw Jixiang leaving from behind Luanxiang Garden, I was worried that something would happen to him, so I followed Jixiang all the way and found that Jixiang came to Princess Shuning's mansion. When Princess Shu Ning came with people in the afternoon, I thought that Ji Xiang and Princess Shu Ning had reconciled. ”

"I greeted me with a warm face, but I didn't think that Princess Shu Ning would smash my Luanxiang Garden without saying a word."

"Princess Shu Ning is a princess, and the grass people are a pariah, my Luanxiang Garden will be smashed if it is smashed, and poor my children will become homeless in one day."

"We have nowhere to go, so we can only continue to live in Luanxiangyuan, after all, we have lived here for many years, although the place has been smashed, but it will not end up on the streets."

After another night, Jixiang still didn't come back. I was worried, so I called the others to go with me to find auspiciousness. ”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Lan's eyes turned red again, and he pounced on Fang Jixiang's corpse and cried again.

"I didn't think about it, I didn't think about it, I didn't think that I actually found Jixiang's body in the depths of the grove next to the official road leading from the imperial city to Jiaozhou, or the corpse that was separated!"

As she spoke, Shangguan Lan began to cry again.

Zhuang Guangxu looked at Shen Qi: "Your Highness, what do you say?" ”

Shen Qi stood up, faced a few people in the hall, and said word by word: "Fang Jixiang did come to me, but I asked someone to arrange for someone to give him the silver and left." ”

"Gone?" Zhuang Guangxu asked.

"Yes, Fang Jixiang said that he didn't dare to return to Luanxiang Garden and wanted to follow me, but I didn't want to, so I gave him some silver and arranged for someone to send him away." Shen Qi said.

"Why doesn't Jixiang dare to go back to Luanxiang Garden, Luanxiang Garden is his home, although Jixiang is a small man, but he is kind and kind, he has never grudged with anyone, after Princess Shu Ning left that day, Jixiang's whole person is wrong, and the princess went to the princess's mansion early the next morning, and then found that the person was already dead, Princess Shu Ning still wants to shirk?!"

Shangguan Lan's eyes were full of tears, and the more she spoke, the more she highlighted a righteous aura on her body, as if Shen Qi was some unforgivable evil.

"Princess Xuan's Mansion guards." Zhuang Guangxu continued.

Soon, the guards who sent Fang Jixiang out of the city that day walked in.

After the guards bowed to the adults, they knelt on the ground: "My lord, that day, Steward Shen gave the villain ten taels of silver, saying that he would give the silver to Fang Jixiang, and then send him out of the city and let him go out on his own." I asked Fang Jixiang where he wanted to go, and Fang Jixiang said that he wanted to go to Jiaozhou, so I took him in the direction of Jiaozhou. In order to avoid accidents, we specially chose the official road at that time. ”

"When did you separate?" Zhuang Guangxu asked.

"I separated yesterday (nine o'clock in the evening), and after I gave the money to Fang Jixiang, I came back." The guard said.

"Then when did you find Fang Jixiang's body?" Zhuang Guangxu asked Shangguan Lan.

"It's three o'clock today (9:45 a.m.)." Shangguan Lan said, "My lord, the grass people didn't lie, at that time, almost all of our people from Luanxiang Garden were dispatched, and everyone saw the auspicious corpse together." ”

"Wow, what is the time and cause of death of this corpse?" Zhuang Guangxu asked.

He bowed to the people.

"He died at 9:45 a.m. (9:45 a.m.) with no other wounds on his body and no signs of poisoning. Without a head, it is impossible to tell whether to die first and then behead or to die by beheading. However, based on the wound on the neck, it seems to have been cut with an arrow-like object, and it is very likely that the deceased died first and then had his head cut off. ”
