Chapter 459: Seven Scorched Corpses Under the Flame Stage
When the Nineteen Princes took the stage to perform, Sai Lion was sorting out the props in the backstage below, and he didn't watch the performance of the Nineteen Princes at all, and he didn't know how the Nineteen Princes disappeared?
As for the fire on the stage, and the charred corpse below, he was completely unaware. Dao He was in the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion when the stage caught fire, and there are many people who can prove it.
Hearing that the lion race didn't know, Cheng Kang Chongqing couldn't help but sink his face in the imperial history, and said that he gave the lion race a chance to live, so that the other party should know how to cherish it.
The lion who kowtowed again, said that he really didn't know why the nineteenth prince disappeared, he didn't know how the stage caught fire, and he didn't know who the body under the stage was.
However, he knew how he got to the Nineteen Princes' Mansion, how he taught the Nineteen Princes illusion skills, and knew that the Nineteen Princes were going to perform on stage. After the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince, the eldest prince and others in the stands called him for questioning, all of which were truthfully told to Kang Chongqing in great detail.
Hearing that the eldest prince agreed with Mu Yirong to let him inspect the matter of finding the nineteenth prince, Kang Chongqing nodded, and Mu Yirong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, had a keen mind, and was the first to notice the abnormality of the gaffe and inquire about it, which was very normal.
Also, the eldest prince's benevolence and filial piety are related to the emperor's uncle, and his words and deeds are reasonable, and there is nothing to doubt.
Cheng Kang Chongqing, who made such a conclusion, asked the lion race in detail, the big horse An Yuan who was present, and the Ministry of Works, what was the situation at that time, and did he say anything of unknown meaning?
Sai Lion remembered that Ma Anyuan didn't really believe that the Nineteen Princes would disappear, thinking that it was just a trick by the Nineteen Princes to scare them.
As for the Ministry of Works, Tuntian Lang Nachar, Saishi didn't have much impression of him, but remembered that he was trembling and frightened, and he kept shrinking by the side of Ma Anyuan.
Kang Chongqing, who understood the nature of the two, nodded, the Tao is indeed the style of the two, and then asked Saishi, what is his impression of other people?
Sai Lion remembered that among the crowd, there was a woman with eyes as sharp as a beast, following Mu Yirong.
There is also a noble and generous woman, who seems to be the eldest princess, because of the constraints of etiquette, he does not dare to look up at the other party's face.
The woman that Kang Chongqing Dao was afraid of when she nodded again should be the only female official in Yan Zhou, Ruicao, the pavilion chief of Dali Temple.
He saw this female pavilion chief in the early dynasty, and gave him the impression that she looked good, but she was unruly, and she didn't even understand the etiquette of bowing to the saints today, and she was completely a wild girl who came down from the mountains.
But she has a good brain, since she entered Dali Temple, she has been by the side of Mu Yirong, who has solved several famous cases, and she is an extraordinary woman.
As for the remaining eldest princess Liu Qingyan, it was not within Kang Chongqing's consideration at all, he had heard that the eldest lady of the Shangshu family in the Criminal Department followed Mu Yirong to Lantian County in order to chase love.
But later, it was rumored that when he was in Lantian County, Liu Qingyan had a close relationship with the Nineteenth Prince, and they also played in the water by the river together, and they had a very good personal relationship.
The people of Yan and Zhou were open, and it was not uncommon for officials and nobles to socialize in the aristocratic circle of the capital.
Nowadays, it is popular to see each other's relatives, and then the matchmaker comes to the door to draw the line, and it is normal for the daughter who wants to marry a good man, and the young master of whose family is going to walk around in private.
But he was not curious about the affairs between these men and women, and almost ruled out the eldest princess Liu Qingyan as a suspect, and asked Hu Ren's illusionist Sai Lion, what special impression did he have of the few maids who went with the nineteenth prince at that time?
When Hu Ren Illusionist Saishi walked to the stands at that time, he kept his head down humbly and cautiously, his eyes did not dare to look around, and he didn't know who the nineteen princes' family members were sitting in the back, but he only remembered that they were making a mess of things, constantly calling the name of the prince and crying.
After listening to this, Chengkang Chongqing in the imperial history asked the lion race to think about it again, is there any key thing missing?
The Hu Ren illusionist thought about it carefully for a long time, shook his head and said that he only knew this, and then said with a ashamed face that he didn't know why the Nineteenth Prince suddenly disappeared. And after learning the news, he has been praying to the true God, wishing that the nineteenth prince can return safely. First Chinese Network
As for the stage on fire, and the charred corpses in the ashes, he once again said with great sincerity and sincerity that he really didn't know anything about them.
After speaking, he kowtowed his head upwards, saying that if the nineteenth prince really had an accident, he would not be able to escape the blame, and asked Lord Kang Chongqing to give the whole corpse. And let his assistant boy go, they were only half-grown children, and they really didn't know anything.
Chengkang Chongqing, whose eyes were like eagles and falcons, stared at the middle-aged illusionist Sai Lion, and thought about it while examining it.
Between the words of the illusionist Sai Lion, it can be heard that he is very respectful and grateful to the Nineteenth Prince, and there is indeed no reason to kill the Nineteenth Prince.
From the perspective of time, he was imprisoned in the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion when the stage caught fire, and there was no time to set fire to the corpse.
But it cannot be ruled out that someone paid him to hire him to use his hands and feet on the equipment on the stage to facilitate others to kidnap the Nineteenth Prince.
After all, people die for money, birds die for food, and no one can guarantee whether the people who are willing to pay for the life of the nineteen princes will be enough to shake the gratitude of the lion race to the nineteen princes.
Kang Chongqing, who was hesitant, wanted to torture the lion, but there was no evidence to prove the identity of the charred corpse under the stage, and he could not determine the clear direction of interrogation at the time of the execution, so he could only continue to detain the lion for the time being.
Kang Chongqing, who was in a state of flux, asked the jailer to escort the Hu Ren illusionist Saishi back for trial first, and invited the ladies from the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion to come over.
In the prison department, the cells were limited and cramped, and the eldest prince and his wife were invited to the Zongren Mansion, leaving the eldest concubine Ma Anyuan, the Ministry of Works, Tuntian Lang Nachar, and Mu Yirong and Ruicho, who continued to be locked in the same cell regardless of gender.
Next door were the six concubines of the Nineteenth Prince, chattering, crying and crying endlessly.
Next to it, Xiao Cui'er, the maidservant who imprisoned Liu Qingyan, and the people of the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion who were waiting on the left and right sides of the stage at that time.
The rest of the coachman, the palace guards, and the little servants who were waiting beside the adults, the Hu Ren Illusion Magic Asak, and the two assistant assistants of the chief horn children, were locked up in the other two cells.
Ever since the Hu illusionist Asak and his two of his chief boy assistants were taken away for interrogation, many in the cell had become uneasy.
Especially after a long time, when the three of them didn't come back, some pessimistic people couldn't help but have bad thoughts in their hearts. began to worry about his situation, afraid that after he was arraigned, he would never return.
Some optimistic people feel that the Imperial Observatory is notoriously fair and clear, and they have no idea what happened to the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince, and they will definitely be let go when the interrogation is clear.
Presumably, the Hu Ren illusionist Saishi, who had not returned for a long time, should have let him go after finding out that he had nothing to do with this matter.
People who have hope in their hearts are relieved to think like this!
Nachar, who is also in the officialdom, is neither pessimistic nor blindly optimistic.
He has seen too many events, and in the end, he may not find out, and the truth will be revealed!
At the time of the event, many people lost their lives for no reason, and not too many people cared at all.
Although he is timid, he is not stupid, and the only priority at the moment is to find a way to clean himself from this matter, and to clean up his relationship with anyone, lest one of the people he trusts will be the culprit and follow him.
It would be great if I could help Goshidai and provide one or two suspects.
On the surface, Nachar, who sincerely prayed for the Nineteenth Prince, kept spinning rapidly, like a herbivore on the prairie, shrewdly calculating how to protect himself in the dangerous situation of the weak and the strong and full of male lions!
