Emperor Shenwu called Huang Quan again, looked at the two of them and said, "Now there are still two of you left to watch." Do you want to go around your house?"

Huang Quan smiled and said: "If Your Majesty comes to Weichen's Humble House, it will be a glorious lintel, and Weichen will be honored!"

"Zhao Daquan, what about you?"

Zhao Daquan had already seen the consequences of Ding Buwei's search with his own eyes, and he had been beating the drum in his heart. He is really a thief, for fear that his family has been put into something that should not appear at this time, where does he dare to let the emperor check it?

But if you shirk it directly, doesn't that seem to be a thief again?

Push and don't push. It's so difficult!

It's just that in an instant, Zhao Daquan was already covered in a cold sweat, swallowed his saliva quite hard, and reluctantly said, "This...... Your Majesty...... Wechen ...... Welcome...... It's just that Wechen's wife has recently contracted smallpox......"

Emperor Shenwu looked at him calmly: "Zhao Aiqing, I remember that your wife passed away due to illness last year, and I also wrote a couplet to send you!"

The cold sweat on Zhao Daquan's head flowed even more: "This ...... Wechen ...... ......, who just got married this year"

Emperor Shenwu snorted and said, "You don't want me to check it out so much, is there any reason why you can't tell me?"

Where can Zhao Daquan say, he can only kowtow desperately: "Your Majesty ......"

Dingguo Duke Lu Tianming flashed out again, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since Commander Zhao is infected with smallpox in the mansion, for the sake of Your Majesty's dragon health, it is better not to have the royal car to come in person, it is enough to send a small official!"

Emperor Shenwu said: "No, I have decided, I have to go!"

Lu Tianming bowed down and said: "Although it is a golden rule for Your Majesty to open the golden mouth, if there is a disease that invades the dragon's body, then the old minister is willing to give advice to death and beg His Majesty to take it back! ”

Emperor Shenwu snorted: "Dingguo Gong, you love me very much!"

Lu Tianming said: "Serving my lord is the way of the ministers, although the ministers are old, never forget!"

Emperor Shenwu said: "Okay, okay, let's go down! I hope that if something big happens in this dynasty one day, you Dingguo Gong can put on his armor and charge ahead!"

Lu Tianming: "...... Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Shenwu snorted, turned to look at Zhao Daquan and Huang Quan, and said, "That's it! Now, Ding Buwei is dead, but his second son is still here." Zhao Daquan, your personal ID card is gone, but you're still fine. Huangquan is a good person, and the people are all right. Therefore, I have decided that the case of beating the second young master of the Ding family and the officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion in the middle of the night will be handed over to the two of you to deal with together, and I will give me a satisfactory reply before sunset today!"

Zhao Daquan didn't want to check it when he heard it, so he quickly wiped his cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little inexplicable: "Your Majesty, Wechen can still be competent in marching and arranging, and Wechen is really powerless in this case!" 56

Emperor Shenwu said slowly: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much. In this case, either you Zhao Daquan and Ding Buwei lied together, or Huang Quan lied, and only one person could tell the truth. I'm going to figure it out for yourselves now! As for the one who lies, hehe, think for yourself what the consequences will be!"

Huang Quan smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Daquan was helpless, so he had to bow down and thank him, and he was at a loss in his heart, not knowing why the emperor used such a ridiculous way to deal with it.

The courtiers were watching, many of them were confused, and only a few people saw it, which was quite a clever move. Akari has made it clear that the one who can't prove that he is not lying is guilty of bullying the king, and he will lose his official position at least and fall to the ground at worst.

This seems to be forcing both sides to do their best, but in fact they are just putting pressure on Zhao Daquan. Emperor Shenwu had already said that he already believed that Ling Ye had beaten the second young master of the Ding family out of righteous indignation, and now Zhao Daquan could say that he couldn't come up with any decent witnesses. If this continues, the result will only get worse and worse.

If this continues, Zhao Daquan can either give up the complaint, or continue to hold his neck until he is finally found guilty of bullying the king. It is impossible for Zhao Daquan to be willing to bear the consequences of the crime of bullying the king, and the only possibility is to give up quickly.

Ling Ye watched coldly from the side, and he had to admit in his heart that Emperor Shenwu was not only not confused, but also quite shrewd. Such an emperor, if he is an opponent, is not easy to deal with.

While speaking, another royal forest army came in to report: "Your Majesty, the villain and others have carefully investigated, and the poison that poisoned Wang Fuchun and others is a kind of incense, mixed with the incense commonly used by nobles, so it is difficult to detect. The villain and others privately guessed that those who could use this kind of incense must be nobles. ”

Emperor Shenwu frowned and said, "The courtiers standing here, which one is not a noble family?"

The man continued: "Your Majesty, although they are all noble families, because of the different grades and the different grades, the incense used is also different. For example, the first-grade and second-grade princes and nobles used high-grade ambergris, while the third-grade and fourth-grade houses used inferior incense, which was Brahmi. For lower grades, the more common cloves are used. ”

Emperor Shenwu suddenly became interested: "Then, according to your opinion, what kind of incense did the person who poisoned him use?"

There was a hint of fear on the man's face: "The villain doesn't dare to say ......"

"I forgive you for your innocence, even if you say that if something happens to you because you tell the truth, I will give you mercy!"

The man kowtowed and said, "The villain has sniffed it carefully, the incense mixed by the assassins is the finest ambergris! Only the princes and nobles of the first and second grades can afford it!"

Emperor Shenwu sighed and waved his hand: "Okay, you can step aside!"

The man kowtowed and withdrew. Emperor Shenwu looked sideways at the first-grade and second-grade important ministers among the courtiers, and smiled: "It seems that the person who conspired with Ding Buwei G is among the first-grade and second-grade important ministers who are my usual cronies!

Everyone could hear that his tone was quite unkind, and many of them were secretly worried in their hearts.

Lu Tianming came out again, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, what a small official said is a one-sided word, and it is not enough to believe it completely. May Your Majesty be more discerning and avoid being tricked by traitors!"

Emperor Shenwu smiled: "You don't need to say much. From now on, I will investigate this matter vigorously and resolutely, and investigate it in parallel with the death of the harem concubine. Who did it, I know it in my heart, and when I find out, I'll wait for the head to hit the ground!"
