"When did this happen?" the emperor asked coldly.

Gong Hanlin thought for a while and replied, "About an hour ago!"

"One hour, one hour is enough for the assassin to escape from Tianluo City with impunity!" Although the emperor's voice was weak, it was not difficult to hear that his words were full of murderous intent.

Gong Hanlin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the assassin did not go unpunished, the assassin who killed the Second Highness has been caught!

Hearing Gong Hanlin's words, the emperor fell silent again, and after half a sound, the emperor asked faintly, "Who did it?"

Gong Hanlin hesitated for a moment, and said in a chilled voice: "I heard that it was done by a woman who His Royal Highness bought back from the street! Second Highness had a cut wound on his neck that was cut by a dagger, and that woman was lying next to His Second Highness at that time, holding the blood-dripping dagger in her hand!"

"Huh!"

Gong Hanlin was suddenly stunned for a moment, he seemed to have heard the emperor chuckle just now, but the laughter was faint, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong!

"Gong Aiqing, Jing Cheng married your granddaughter, if you talk about it, you and I are also relatives. Now that Jing Cheng has been killed, my body is not as good as day by day, in this case, Jing Cheng's affairs will be handed over to you to deal with, I can only trust you! The crime of assassinating the prince is unforgivable, she is not so bold and does not have such great ability, Gong Aiqing, you must find out the person behind the instruct for me, if I don't punish him, it will be difficult to fill the hatred in my heart!" The emperor said viciously.

Although Gong Hanlin was reluctant in his heart, as a courtier, he had no reason to resist the order, so he had to bend down and say loudly: "Minister, obey the order!"

The words just now seemed to have used up all the strength in the emperor's body, and as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor kept coughing, and Gonggong Sun hurriedly patted the emperor's back to straighten out the disordered breath in his body for him.

The coughing stopped, and the emperor put away the handkerchief on his mouth without leaving a trace, he cleared his throat and said weakly to Grandpa Sun: "Grandpa Sun, give Gong Aiqing the sword of Shang Fang, whoever dares to stop him from investigating the case will be beheaded directly!"

Gonggong Sun soon came with a golden long sword in both hands, Gong Hanlin took Shang Fang's sword and said loudly: "Thank you Your Majesty for the sword!

"I am the true son of the dragon, and the dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of them are different! It just so happens that I also have nine sons, but I have never found the one who is most like me..."

Gonggong Sun sighed and said, "Lord Gong go back first, Your Majesty is tired, I hope Lord Gong will solve the case as soon as possible and comfort the spirit of His Royal Highness in the sky!"

Gong Hanlin nodded heavily, bowed to the emperor and whispered: "The minister retires, may Your Majesty live a long and healthy life!"

After Gong Hanlin finished saluting, he took Shang Fang's sword and went out, and Gonggong Sun suddenly walked up and shouted, "Lord Gong, please stay!"

Gong Hanlin turned his head and looked at Grandpa Sun suspiciously, and asked, "Is there anything else going on with Grandpa Sun?"

Grandpa Sun shook his head with a smile, "Dare to ask Master Gong if there is a candidate in his heart?"

"Candidate, who is the candidate?" Gong Hanlin looked puzzled.

Grandpa Sun was also stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Lord Gong hasn't counted it in his heart at this time?"

"Please also ask your father-in-law to make it clear!"

Gonggong Sun smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "That's it, since Lord Gong said so, then our family won't talk much! Master Gong will go slowly, and our family will go to serve Your Majesty first." ”

Gong Hanlin is an old man, and after listening to the meaning of Grandpa Sun's words, he expected that Grandpa Sun must know something, how could he let Grandpa Sun go so easily! Gong Hanlin grabbed Grandpa Sun's arm and said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Sun, I won't tell you anything, although there are hundreds of civil ministers and military generals in this court, the only one I Gong Hanlin can look up to is Grandpa Sun! Although they have a high official position, they are not as good as you in my eyes! Hanlin has always regarded you as a confidant, and now that Hanlin is in trouble, you can't stand idly by!"

Gonggong Sun raised his eyebrows, nodded with a smile in his eyes, he first looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said to Gong Hanlin: "In the dormitory just now, Lord Gong said that when he caught the assassin, could you hear His Majesty's laughter?"

Gong Hanlin nodded hurriedly, if Gonggong Sun didn't say it, he would still think that he had heard it wrong! It's not that Gong Hanlin has bad ears, it's just that the laughter is too weak, and it's normal that he can't hear it because he's far away from the emperor. But Grandpa Sun is different, Grandpa Sun has been standing in front of the emperor's couch, if he hears it, it must be true!

Gonggong Sun smiled and asked, "Since you heard it, does Lord Gong know what Your Majesty is laughing at?"

Gong Hanlin shook his head, and said to Grandpa Sun: "Please ask Grandpa Sun to give me some guidance, and I will definitely listen to you!"

After hesitating for a while, Gonggong Sun sighed, his tone was full of sorrow, "The second prince is not a great traitor, and he has never offended those people who lick blood from the knife on the rivers and lakes, who would go to great lengths to assassinate the second prince? In other words, who will benefit the most if the second prince dies?"

As soon as Grandpa Sun said this, Gong Hanlin was stunned for a moment, looking at Grandpa Sun with a frightened expression.

"It's him!" After a long time, Gong Hanlin said these two words heavily.

"Our family didn't say anything, everything was guessed by Lord Gong himself!" Grandpa Sun said lightly.

Gong Hanlin nodded, naturally knowing what Grandpa Sun meant when he said this, only to see his hideous face, and his facial features were unnaturally distorted, "But... Even if I can produce evidence, I can still really kill him with Shang Fang's sword?!"

"Hehe, the evidence? Do you know who is next to him to give him advice? That kid can't wait to divide one of his eyes into eight! Don't say you're alone, even if you are the pillar of the dynasty and fight your heart, you may not be able to fight that kid! That kid doesn't care if he has great wisdom for the time being, but his conspiracy and tricks even our family, a eunuch who has been in the harem all his life, is shocked! Since he has done this, he will definitely not let you catch the handle! If our guess is correct, I'm afraid that the female assassin you mentioned is just a substitute ghost found by that kid, and the person who really assassinated the second prince is probably out of Tianluo City by now! Moreover, the female assassin may be dead now. ”

"Dead? impossible! Now it's all my henchmen who are taking care of her, and I have told them to save the life of the female assassin!" Gong Hanlin said with an oath.

"What if....she took a special poison?"

The two fell silent in unison, Gong Hanlin looked at Sun Gonggong in a daze, and for a moment he felt as if he had fallen into a huge chessboard, and he was a crucial chess piece on the chessboard!
