Chapter 331: The curtain opens
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the seven-day deadline has arrived.
The middle gate of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi opened again, and nearly thirty sons also entered the mansion one after another.
At this time, a group of qualified Xiliang ministers were already waiting in the mansion. Seeing the arrival of the sons, they couldn't help but straighten their bodies, and they were ready to officially start today's theme.
That is, to elect the successor to the position of Zhenxi Hou.
In the border areas, it is not as cumbersome as the prosperous places in the Central Plains.
Therefore, after a brief opening remarks by Han Mu, the long history of Zhenxi Houfu, he went directly to the topic: "I think all the sons also know that the six countries of the Western Regions are currently committing crimes, and other forces with ill intentions towards our Xiliang are also eyeing me from the sidelines.
Therefore, my Xiliang is now in urgent need of a Ming Lord to lead my Xiliang subjects to deal with this change that has not been seen in a hundred years!
Therefore, I will not waste your time any longer, and as agreed before, I now ask you to wait for the past seven days, and submit the summary of your inspection in hand. After I wait for my ministers to read it one by one, I will teach it in person.
Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
Involved in such a big matter, it is natural that a group of sons will come up and talk nonsense.
Otherwise, the ghost knows that the first son will come up and say everything that should be said, whether the next one will speak, and what the previous one said is exactly what I want to say.
When the time comes, will it not only increase the troubles?
No way, never overestimate human nature.
Especially when faced with such a great temptation as the position of the prince of a town.
Seven days ago, when the sons were notified, the person in charge of the notification had already mentioned it. And before the sons came, Han Mu also sent someone to remind him again.
Therefore, the sons did not have any moths in this regard, as early as when they were in their own mansions, they had already handed over a handwritten letter in their possession by their attendants, and now it was handed over by the attendants to Han Mu and others.
Of course, this refers to the discovery of something, or the relevant information that has been falsified. Those who didn't get anything in seven days naturally had nothing to write about, so in fact, only eleven copies were presented to Han Mu and the others.
And there are even fewer of them that really have something to say, but only four or five copies.
And it lists the complete chain of evidence, indicating that there are only two people who have found the real culprit behind the scenes.
One is the fourth son, and the other is the tenth son's side.
Needless to say, the fourth prince has already had a plan to cheat from the beginning. And the so-called evidence here of the tenth prince is completely provided by the eldest grandson Wuji. The person sent by the Ten Princes to investigate the case is also a member of the Daxingsi.
Let the people of the Great Bank Division investigate the case committed by the Great Bank Division, what can be found?
So in fact, the handwritten letter sent by the tenth prince is also fake.
These only two have something to say, and the ones that point directly at the murderer are fake, so when the two sides reply for a while, I am afraid it will be quite exciting.
No, it's coming soon.
There are eleven handwritten books in total, and there are still a few of them, so after a short time, Han Mu and the others finished browsing them one by one, and after glancing at each other, they officially entered the second stage.
"Okay, although this sentence may be a little unnecessary, but in order to avoid trouble, I still have to ask one last question," Han Mu glanced at the sons present, and then said, "There are still people...... If not, then the winner of this test will be screened among these eleven sons?"
For such a big thing, Han Mu naturally wants to be as perfect as possible. Therefore, in order to avoid disputes, Han Mu once again made the final confirmation.
As for the result, there is no answer.
Seeing this, Han Mu didn't say anything more, and directly began to preside over the defense.
First, among the eleven people, the fourteen princes who had the least mastery stepped forward to start questioning, and then soon, only the last two remained. That is, the fourth prince who has a complete chain of evidence in his hand, and the two people who are the tenth son.
In the face of these two sons, Han Mu naturally did not dare to be contemptuous.
After all, he supports the eldest son, if one of these two sons really finds out who is behind the scenes, won't the conspiracy between him and the eldest prince fail?
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of the eldest prince, he has to let these two people fall behind. If it's really going to be fake, it's going to erase the achievements of these two.
For this reason, Han Mu naturally has to go down in person and check it in person.
"Fourth Prince," Han Mu flipped through the handwritten letter handed by the Fourth Prince, and then said: "According to your handwritten letter, the mastermind behind the killing of Hou Ye is Wusun among the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions, may I ask, in addition to what is mentioned above, do you have any other basis?"
"Isn't that enough?" the fourth prince asked rhetorically.
"That's not. Han Mu smiled, and then picked up the handwritten letter submitted by the tenth prince on the side, and then said: "It's just that what you said in your handwriting, the fourth son, is really very different from what is said in the handwritten letter of the tenth prince." So I want to ask first, does the fourth prince have anything to add?"
Old ten?
The eyes of the fourth prince couldn't help narrowing, and at the same time, he quietly glanced at the tenth prince for the next time. Then he said: "I'm afraid that Lord Han is going to ask Mr. Yu, because the collection and summary of relevant evidence is all handled by Mr. Yu."
Therefore, if Mr. Han really wants to know something, Mr. Xianyu should be waiting outside, and Mr. Han can ask in person. ”
"That's right. Han Mu obviously didn't expect that the fourth prince would so simply give all the credit to his subordinates. Therefore, he couldn't help but take a deep look at the fourth prince in front of him, and then said to the tenth prince who was waiting on the side: "Okay, the tenth prince, do you have anything you want to add, or do you want to say?"
In the face of Han Mu's question, Shi Gongzi was also quite straightforward, and said directly: "No." ”
"That's a bit of a problem. ”
Han Mu inspected between the two of them for a while, and then his eyes fell on the two handwritten letters in his hand again, and chuckled: "Among the eleven sons' handwritten letters, only two sons' words have substance, and the evidence is complete to point out the real culprit behind the scenes.
It stands to reason that it should be gratifying, after all, this represents the spirit of Hou Ye in the sky, and he is finally expected to be blind.
However, the results of the books written by the two sons are completely different, and even completely different. One is Wusun among the twelve kingdoms of the Western Regions, and the other is Mani among the three major cults in the world, which is a bit nerve-wracking.
In this way, it is better for the subordinates to give this opportunity to ask the first question to the two princes, and you can ask each other questions at will, and explain yourself at the same time. to prove that what you find is true. What do you think of the two sons?"
Although as early as when Han Mu picked out the two people alone, the fourth prince and the tenth prince had already faintly noticed that something was wrong. But when I really heard Han Mu say that both sides had come up with a complete chain of evidence, they still couldn't help but turn gloomy.
After all, both of them actually knew what they had handed in, and the so-called evidence was all fake.
Therefore, now the two of them are afraid of beating wolves, especially the ten sons who participated in the murder of Zhenxi Hou, and they are even more uneasy in their hearts.
