Liu Ya quickly thought about how to protect Fei Teng and Ming Gengxiu, who vomited blood and fell to the ground, from being mended by the killer, while vigilantly looking at the killer who rushed towards her in an instant, the hand under her sleeve flipped without a trace, and before she sprinkled the poison powder specially developed before leaving, she noticed that the sword waved by one of the killers was aimed at her hand!

In the fierce gesture of the killer to cut off her hand, a pure black shadow fell from the sky, firmly blocking Liu Ya, and catching the killer's fierce sword with one hand, the hidden weapon that had been prepared suddenly sank into the killer's chest, and then kicked him out, and before the other killer could react, he quickly sent out a sword and sealed his throat!

Liu Ya was glad to continue to stare at this thin and unfamiliar black figure vigilantly, "You-"

Before she could speak, the brocade guards who had finished solving the killer rushed in, and the black shadow disappeared in an instant!

"-Are you alright?" asked the leader of the brocade guard.

Liu Ya had no choice but to say, "I'm fine, but something happened to my friends." ”

When she checked the pulse for Fei Teng and Ming Gengxiu just now, she found that their pulse was a little strange, similar to the pulse of the King of the Western Desert, but it was not all the same, it was like being hit by a chronic slight poison, but the effect of the poison had not yet been issued, and the reason why they vomited blood was because they had used their luck to accelerate the spread of the toxin.

So, poisoning, killers, are one ring after another, specially prepared for them.

And obviously, the ultimate goal is to be able to treat her as the King of the Western Desert.

Liu Ya asked the Jinyi guards to carry Fei Teng and Ming Gengxiu to the bed, and after treating them one by one, she instructed the palace maid to tell Mo Zihe that there was no need to worry about them, it was more important to guard the King of the Western Desert at present, but not long after the palace maid went out, another palace maid rushed in and said:

"Four, the fourth prince, he's dead!"

"......" Liu Ya blinked blankly, she didn't know who the fourth prince was.

The palace maid gasped and said, "They, they all say, it was the Prince Regent who killed them!"

"......" Well, the protagonist in this sentence, she knows, Liu Ya said embarrassedly, "Who does 'they' refer to?"

"The housekeepers and servants of the Four Princes' Mansions, they all testify to the Prince Regent's murderous rush into the mansion!"

Liu Ya said again, "After your majesty is ill, who will the regent be in charge of supervising the country with?"

"It was originally the auxiliary prince of Taifu, and the left and right prime ministers who represented the civil and military affairs. ”

Liu Ya thought for a moment and said, "What about the relationship between them?"

"The Duke of Fuguo is His Majesty's concubine, and the regent is the brother of His Majesty's mother, so the relationship between the two of them is naturally good. "The palace maid is obviously the queen's confidant, and she knows everything about Liu Ya's inquiries," the two prime ministers on the left and right often have different opinions from the auxiliary prince and the regent, and they are mostly like water and fire. ”

Liu Ya said, "I don't have enough manpower here, you let Mo Zihe find a way to bring in Shopkeeper Chu and Fan Xiaowu first." ”

**

The next door to the imperial study of the King of the Western Desert was temporarily used as a meeting room for the courtiers.

The sixty-year-old Fuguo Gong blew his beard and stared at the two forty or fifty-year-old men and said, "The regent was killed, and the prince who was the only son of the regent ran to the object of suspicion to spread his anger, no matter how the fourth prince is also his cousin, and there was a lot of trouble between the brothers, but you insisted that the prince regent was the murderer of the four princes, are you confused or ill-intentioned?!"

"Fu Guogong's words are wrong, as we all know, the Prince Regent is a well-known martial arts prodigy in the world, and he has done his best to get the true inheritance of the regent, even if he is injured, he wants to hurt the four princes is not a matter of chopping melons and vegetables, and we have not concluded that he is the real murderer of the four princes, we just hope that he will temporarily hand over the military talisman!" The man in his forties, that is, the right prime minister.

"That's right, the regent has passed away, and the talisman should have been handed over, and it should be reissued after His Majesty recovers, not to mention that he is now involved in the killing of the four princes, if we don't quickly cut through the mess and give everyone an explanation, I'm afraid we will only end up with a stigma of covering up the crimes of the clan, presumably the Fuguo Gong doesn't want the courtiers to impeach us one by one tomorrow for our ineffective prison of the country, right?" The fifty-year-old Zuo Cheng said righteously.

They argued endlessly, Mo Zihe, who was sandwiched in the middle, looked at the door with the stars and the moon, but before he could wait for the people who wanted to wait, he waited for the third prince and the fifth prince who made his head bigger, one was his younger brother, and the other was his younger brother, but the relationship with him has never been very harmonious, obviously they all came to the regent's talisman, and if they didn't push the regent prince into the abyss, I was afraid that they would never give up.

Sure enough, the third prince opened his mouth and said, "The state has national laws and family rules, no matter what, the prince regent is also a suspect——"

"The suspect is just a person who is suspected of committing a crime, and the national laws and family rules of any country do not have the rules for convicting suspects without going through the judicial system, right?

Liu Ya carried a holy decree of the King of the Western Desert embroidered with a golden phoenix on a black background, pushed open the door of the chamber, and sneered casually, Damn, in order to wake up the King of the Western Desert earlier, she stuffed all the medicine she precious to save her life into the mouth of the King of the Western Desert, and now that I think about it, my heart still hurts!

But in order for her to investigate this case justifiably, she can only endure the heartache, hoping that after this case, she can get the most perfect result of her trip, fortunately, before Liu Gui left the West Desert, he helped her to handle the testimony of the West Desert, and their Liu family's business investment in the West Desert is also very large, as soon as the King of the West Desert woke up and learned that she was from the Liu family, looking at her eyes was no different from looking at gold, and the concubine who repeatedly wanted to stop something, could not stop anything.

"Who are you?" looked at Liu Ya at the same time, and his eyes were not good.

"After hearing this decree, you will know. Liu Ya handed over the holy decree to the pink-clothed woman who came with her, that is, the sister of Mo Zihe's mother, the sixth princess of the Western Desert, Mo Qiutong.

After everyone knelt down, Mo Qiutong read out, "After the widow fell ill, there were many regents, auxiliary princes, left prime ministers, right prime ministers to supervise the country, and maintain the order of the country, and then woke up, I heard that the regent was murdered by gangsters, and now he is dead, and his heart aches, and I heard that after the prince regent and the four princes had a dispute, the four princes were unfortunately killed, in order to return everyone's innocence, Liu Ya, who has cured the widow, is specially appointed to heal the widow Liu Ya as a product Qincha, investigate the matter, Si Zongtang and the criminal department to assist in the investigation, if you do not cooperate with the investigation, you should be punished!"

Liu Ya received the order again, and the left and right prime ministers, the third prince and the fifth prince all looked at her in disbelief.

Then, Mo Qiutong said again, "Auxiliary Guogong, Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Right, Father Emperor invites you to go to the palace." ”

The three people who were called by name responded in succession, and they didn't dare to hurry away.

The cool gaze of the third prince finally fell on Mo Zihe, "In the past, I really underestimated you, the silent elder brother." ”

"I have never fought or robbed, it doesn't mean that I will let you do whatever you want, I can ignore it, but if anyone regards blood relatives as nothing and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, don't blame me for coming to the real thing!" Mo Zihe said expressionlessly.

"Now it seems that the eldest brother of the emperor is not really 'not fighting or grabbing'. The fifth prince swept over Liu Yadao meaningfully.

"Whether it's true or not, and look at the future, I only advise you to say one word, turn back to the shore. Mo Zihe said.

The third prince sneered, "It's not certain who harms whom, why does the eldest brother of the emperor have to pick himself so cleanly?"

Mo Zihe didn't want to argue with them anymore, exchanged a look with Liu Ya, turned around and left.

Mo Qiutong looked at him, then at the third prince, and his eyes fell on the fifth prince, "Fifth brother, good and evil are just a thought, my sister really doesn't want to see you and the eldest brother of the emperor killing each other, is that position really more important than family affection? Is that position really so attractive, is it so good? My father works tirelessly every day for the well-being of the people, and the country created by generations of emperors with hard work is not for you to play with with your desires!"

"You are a girl, what do you know?!" the fifth prince said coldly.

Mo Qiutong looked at him quietly, as if he was thinking about when his brother became like this, they still loved each other very much before, but I don't know when she loved her as a younger sister and respected him as the eldest brother of the emperor, so he changed, full of calculations, winning over courtiers, fighting openly and secretly with the brothers, and even trying to use her sister as a bargaining chip to consolidate power, she lowered her eyes in disappointment and pulled Liu Ya away.

"Makes you laugh. Out of the conference room, Mo Qiutong smiled bitterly.

Liu Ya shook her head, "How can a family not quarrel?"

"Are you and Liu Gui the same?" Mo Qiutong's eyes flashed with softness.

Liu Ya shook her head again, "I'm not as good as a princess—"

"It's fine if you call me Qiu Tong, and similarly, I prefer to call you Liu Ya. ”

"Okay, Qiu Tong is much happier than me, and I can see my family from time to time, but my brother and my father run around all day long for our family's business, and I rarely see them once a year, but my mother and I often quarrel over trivial things, but we are always blood relatives, how can I really hold a grudge?"

It's just that the emperor's family has always been different from ordinary people, since ancient times, most of them have murdered their relatives for the shining throne, Liu Ya silently sighed in her heart, "I know that my brother has some friendship with the Western Desert royal family, but I didn't expect that even you know him." ”

"I met by chance in the mansion of the eldest brother, and he is very different from the men around me. Mo Qiutong said with a smile.

I don't know if it's 'very different', is it that she is not interested in anything other than money, Liu Ya thought embarrassedly, seeing the tenderness in the eyes of Mo Qiutong, she couldn't help but secretly babble about her relationship with her brother, but Liu Gui didn't seem to have mentioned the sixth princess of the West Desert to her sister from beginning to end, was she embarrassed to say it? Or was it ruthless and there was no need to say it?

During the conversation between the two, they had already left the palace gate, Mo Qiutong was entrusted by the queen to help Liu Ya investigate the case, after all, anyone can not give face to Liu Ya, who jumped out of nowhere, but no one can not give face to Mo Qiutong, the sixth princess who is deeply favored by the emperor, with her assistance, it is equivalent to winning the gold medal of customs clearance while walking.

The Si Zongtang in the Western Desert is a department dedicated to dealing with royal cases, and the corpses of the four princes and Mo Kaichan involved in the case are here.

When Liu Ya came to Si Zongtang, when the King of the West Desert issued the holy decree, the hall master who was already present was ready to wait early, he first led Liu Ya to see the corpse of the four princes, and the old servant of Si Zongtang glanced at her dissatisfied, and then saluted Liu Ya and Mo Qiutong respectively, how did Liu Ya open his mouth and say:

"Tell me about the results of your autopsy of the Four Princes!"

The old man got the instructions of the hall master, even if he was dissatisfied with the heart of coming to grab a job with him, he still said: "The fourth prince was killed by a dagger piercing the abdomen, and there are slight marks of fight on his body, such as his arms and chest, there are bruises, and there are dandruff in his nails. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ya, who approached the corpse, couldn't help but glance at him, "When do you have the right to suspect the suspect?"

She said a word lightly, but the old man's face turned red and white in fright, and he hurriedly knelt down to the hall master and said, "My lord, I just made a slight guess based on years of experience, and I have no bias—"

"There is no bias, but there is a suspicion of guidance!" There is still a substantial difference between the hired work and the inspection of the seal, and the willow bud as the test of the six doors to give the seal is a kind of official position, and it is ordered to participate in the investigation of the case.

Liu Ya squinted at him meaningfully, "What I just asked you about was the autopsy results, and I didn't ask you about the suspect." ”

Lao Zuo has been in Si Zongtang for many years, and the hall master who served has some friendship with him, although he feels that Lao Zuo's words are indeed a little inappropriate, but he still pleads for him, "Xu is Ping Sakura State official has the habit of asking him for his opinion, he just talks a word or two, I hope Liu Qin will not be surprised!"

Liu Ya's slanted gaze drifted to the hall master, "Although I am not a citizen of the Western Desert, I still know a little about the rules of the Western Desert, and Si Zongtang also has something to catch quickly, right? ”

The hall master glanced at the old servant, and the old servant was busy kowtowing in thanks, swearing not to do it again.

Mo Qiutong on the side looked at Liu Ya's eyes full of star-like worship, and saw Liu Ya cut the clothes of the four princes in a good manner, telling her to cover her eyes in surprise.

Liu Ya remembered that there was still her existence next to her, "People die like lights out, but they are just a shell, as long as they have a heart of awe, there is nothing they can't see." ”

Mo Qiutong admired Liu Ya even more, and secretly watched her from between her fingers to inspect the scars on the four princes' bodies, just as she was about to cut off part of the clothes on the limbs of the four princes again, a small white bottle fell out of the wide sleeves of the four princes, and the hall master said in surprise, "What is that?!"

Liu Ya leisurely picked up the extremely suspicious small bottle, carefully opened the cap, and saw that no living creatures flew out, so she got close and sniffed, and the familiar smell plucked from the King of the West Desert taught her to frown, and couldn't help but look at the unlucky fourth prince again.

As soon as she came, the murderer who poisoned the king of the Western Desert sold salted duck eggs, so as not to be too coincidental.

"The things of the deceased, colloquially and uniformly, are called exhibits. Liu Ya said casually, and then carefully examined the four princes' dander-stained fingers, although his nails were not long or short, but there were distinct dandruff left in the five fingernails, obviously after being stabbed by others, he deliberately caught the murderer.

After the autopsy, Liu Ya went to see the prince regent who was under house arrest in a side room of Si Zongtang, but he was very leisurely, lying lazily on the bed, seeing them coming, without raising his eyelids.

Liu Ya saw that there were indeed two scratches of different lengths on the back of his hand, and she said to Mo Qiutong first, "I want to collect evidence in vivo, you go behind the screen to avoid it first." Then he said to Mo Kaizen, "Take off your clothes." ”

"Don't talk about Mo Kaichan, even the hall master and the old man were stunned, a girl's family actually wanted a living man to take off his clothes! When she peeled the clothes of the fourth prince just now, they felt that she was nonsense, and now she wants the regent prince to take off her clothes, it's just nonsense!

"What?" Mo Kaichan thought he had misheard.

Liu Ya repeated indifferently, "If you want to prove your innocence, take off your clothes and let me check it." ”

Mo Kaichan looked at this woman who said shocking words in disbelief, he still remembered that his father had said that she was credible, but to prove her innocence, why, why did she take off her clothes!

"I don't think I look like a man anywhere. Liu Ya rolled her eyes.

"You, you, you, you're a woman!

Liu Ya looked at his stammering appearance, and almost didn't laugh, "Aren't you looking at each other, what are you shy?"

"You, you, do you always look at men's bodies?"

"Yes, especially the dead. Liu Ya didn't expect the regent to be unexpectedly innocent.

"Are you a fool?" the Prince Regent finally reacted, the identity of the woman who asked him to undress as soon as he entered.

Liu Ya said lightly, "It's better than doing it, and I'm currently serving as the Qincha of your case." ”

The regent finally accepted her identity, and slowly took off his clothes, he still had traces on his body that she had bandaged him before, but some of the wounds had oozed blood, Liu Ya asked him to tell what happened before and after entering the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he snorted coldly:

"This son met the royal father on the way back to Beijing, when he was seriously injured, I heard the killers tell him to hand over the talisman, think about it and dare to stare at my royal father's talisman, come and go is not just a few, and then asked the people in the house, they said that the fourth prince has been frequently looking for my royal father recently, asking him to allocate some soldiers and horses to help him suppress bandits or something, I went to question him. ”

"After punching and kicking him a few times, I confirmed that it wasn't him, and left, who expected that as soon as I returned home, the people from Si Zongtang came. He sneered, "In other words, it is conclusive that the son of this world killed the four princes, if the son of this world wants to commit murder, how can he make a big fuss, and he is stupid and everyone else is stupid!!"

Liu Ya unwrapped his bandage again, bandaged him again, and then said to the hall master, "The one who killed the four princes is indeed not the prince." Before the hall master could ask questions, she added, "Take the corpses of the four princes, and let's enter the palace." "A quick solution can save more trouble~

**

After meeting the saints, the auxiliary princes and the left and right prime ministers, as well as the three princes and the five princes, have been waiting in the chamber.

When Liu Ya returned to the palace again, it was already dawn, she yawned sleepily, rubbed her empty stomach, and sped up the speed of stepping into the threshold of the meeting room.

After they all looked like they were listening, Liu Ya uncovered the white cloth covering the corpses of the four princes, because the original clothes of the four princes had been cut by her, and she was too lazy to cut the clothes again, so she only covered the private parts of the bare four princes with a white scarf, and then pointed to the wounds on the abdomen of the four princes, and relayed the key points to them one by one.

Then, she picked up the four princes' dandruff-stained hands and compared them with the scratches on the back of the Prince Regent's hand, "According to the testimony of the Prince Regent, the scratches on the back of his hand were caused by a collision with a lady when he returned home, and was caused by her bamboo basket, of course, we can't find this lady." ”

"However, if you scratch the scratches on the back of the regent's hand and scratch it from the angle of the fourth prince's dandruff-stained hand, it can't be established, and I have checked it before, and there are no other scratches on the regent's body, if the four princes scratch the regent's original wounds, then the dander between the four princes' fingers should also smell like the plaster applied by the regent. ”

"But you come and smell it, the dander between the fingers of the four princes does not smell of any plaster. ”

Hearing this, the Duke of Fu Guo first walked over and got closer to Wen, and then the left and right prime ministers unwillingly ran over to smell it, and the three princes agreed to this statement when they saw that they were all in unison, "Then what evidence do you have to prove that the dander in the fingers of the fourth prince was caused after he was stabbed in with a dagger?"

Liu Ya rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "I just said that the dagger was stabbed into the abdomen from top to bottom, if the dagger was caused by the murder of the four princes when the prince regent was angry, then according to his height, the dagger should be reasonable from the bottom up, I and the hall master went to the palace of the four princes before coming to the palace, and the scene of the murder of the four princes was carefully investigated." ”

"Although the tables, chairs, chairs and chairs in the study of the four princes are upside down and crooked, there is no trace of being stood, if the prince regent tried to cover up when he murdered the four princes, and tried to stand on a high place and stab the dagger again, the strength of the wound will be different, and the layman can't see it, but the experienced man can still distinguish it. ”

"Moreover, according to the evidence of the scene environment and the confession of the housekeeper, after the regent left the prince, the prince's mansion never received other people, I believe that people with martial arts know that light skills can come and go freely, and they don't necessarily have to enter and exit through the gate, with all the evidence, it can be roughly inferred that the relationship between the murderer and the four princes should be good, or even very familiar. ”

And the fourth prince was waiting for his arrival, so he waved off the attendants, but he didn't expect the regent to come at this time. Liu Ya said word by word, "The regent was killed and died, if the fourth prince did not see the prince regent, it would be too suspicious, so he still received the prince regent, but after the prince regent confirmed that he was not the real murderer of his father, he left." ”

"The murderer learned that the Prince Regent had come to the Four Princes' Mansion and even had a dispute and fight with the Four Princes, so he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone, kill the Four Princes and kill the mouth, so that he would be guilty of splitting the corpses of five horses, and blame the killing of the Four Princes to the Prince Regent, so that the Prince Regent would be trapped in Si Zongtang and hand over the military talisman. ”

Everyone looked in disbelief at the willow buds that seemed to be witnessed.

"You, how can you conclude this-" Fu Guogong gasped.

"Bystander Qing, I don't involve all the conspiracies, I don't need to care about feelings, I just need to look at the environmental evidence, the confessions of the characters, and then cooperate with the current situation, and deduce it. Then Liu Ya slowly took out a small white bottle from his arms, "This is what we found in the sleeve of the Fourth Prince, and it contains the Gu poison that poisoned His Majesty." ”

"But, the strange thing is that the corpses of the four princes, before I examined them, Si Zongtang had already taken over and turned them over. Liu Ya swept meaningfully to the old man with a white face, "Even an inexperienced man knows that the deceased's belongings are searched before the autopsy, but when I went to ask him to tell him the results of the autopsy, he didn't even tell me that there was something on the deceased's body, and even inadvertently led me to suspect the prince regent." ”

"I think he must think that I am a girl from a girl's family, and his brain is not as flexible as his, so he can fool around at will. Liu Ya said with a smile, "If the fourth prince is really the real murderer who poisoned His Majesty, then he is really not afraid of losing his brain, after knowing that His Majesty's Gu poison has been cleared by me, he even blatantly carries Gu poison with him, do you say that he is really not afraid of death, or is he actually a fool?"

Everyone was shocked again, and their eyes moved in disbelief from the small white bottle in Liu Ya's hand to the puppet who knelt down.

Fu Guogong took the lead in slapping the table angrily, pointing to his nose and saying, "Say, who ordered you?!"

He only shook his head in panic, shook his head desperately, Liu Ya saw that he didn't want to say and didn't want to commit suicide, so he chuckled, "Don't worry, didn't the fourth prince deliberately leave clues for us before he died, as long as he finds someone with five scratches on his body, and the angle of the dander stained in the fingers of the fourth prince, who is the real murderer who poisoned His Majesty to kill the fourth prince and blame the prince regent." She changed her words and looked at Fuguo Gonggong, "It's better for Fuguo Gong to prove his innocence first!"
