Chapter 457: The Scorched Corpse Five Under the Flame Stage
The Nineteenth Prince is missing, and such a big matter must be investigated as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Nineteenth Prince.
However, now that Mu Yirong, the waiter of Dali Temple, and Ruicao, the female pavilion chief, were involved in the case and were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department for questioning, Dali Temple wants to start investigating this matter, but it is completely useless.
The daughter of Liu Shicheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and now the eldest princess is also locked up in the Zongren Mansion, Liu Shicheng is running around to find out the news for his daughter and son-in-law, even if he wants to investigate this matter, he is more than willing to do it.
Moreover, the DPRK and China oppose the voice of the Criminal Department to take over this matter, and they are all worried that this matter involves the eldest prince and his wife, and he, the prince and father-in-law, will pretend to help the two clear their grievances.
Emperor Xuanyuan didn't want to know how the Nineteen Princes disappeared at all, he just wanted to know the whereabouts of the Nineteen Princes now, so that he could return safely and soundly. As for the rest, we will settle accounts later.
As a result, the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince finally fell on the head of the Imperial Historical Tower.
The Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for picketing and impeaching officials, and is one of the central judicial organs, and is known as the "Three Law Divisions" together with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.
In case of major cases, they will be jointly tried by the Yushitai, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, which is called the "Three Divisions Trial".
In the previous case of scholar Zhongju being stabbed to death, the final criminal department was the United Yushitai, and soon found out the truth and found out the real murderer hiding in the Hanlin Courtyard, and made a lot of contributions.
Now, the case of the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince has been submitted to the Imperial Historical Observatory again, and everyone believes that the impartial Imperial Historical Observatory will soon give a result.
All the people who were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department were all handed over to the prison director of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the resolute Imperial Historical Taichung Cheng Kang Chongqing immediately ordered the envoys of the three academies of the Taiyuan, the Palace, and the Procuratorate to assist and cooperate with him in interrogating and investigating the matter.
The authority of the envoy of the Taiwan Yuan, Bi Xinqing, the envoy of the palace court, and Yu Shangping, the envoy of the procuratorate, attached great importance to this case, and hurriedly sent the inspector of the imperial history to the stage, the palace of the nineteenth prince, and various places to investigate and visit.
Then the three of them accompanied Cheng Kang Chongqing in the imperial history in the yamen of the prison department and interrogated the relevant personnel together.
This case also gave Yu Shitai a lot of headaches, the people involved in the case are all high-powered, well-known people in Shangjing, and they move their whole bodies, and no one knows which person is moved, and what kind of problems will be caused.
Previously, Yu Shitai accepted the request of Master Liu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and cooperated in the trial of the Gongyuan leak incident, which was in the limelight, and offended many people.
Now that it is involved in the disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince, I am afraid that some people who are not used to looking at Yushitai will make a hindrance from it, causing Yushitai to encounter the crisis of shooting a bird in the head.
The Imperial Historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory, due to his old age, has long ignored the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and is a "Jilu Official" who receives a salary at home.
In the previous imperial history, Cheng Dai Li, who was reported for embezzlement and bribery of 800 taels of silver, and connived at the misdeeds of the house slaves, was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and finally died by hitting the wall.
At that time, this incident caused quite a stir, and some people were like flies that found rotten eggs in cracks, and they all circled around Dai Mansion, wanting to find out if the eight hundred taels of silver really existed?
If so, where is it hidden?
As a result, to this day, the mystery of the authenticity of this eight hundred taels of silver is still unsolved.
In the imperial history, Dai Li's conviction affected his wife and daughter, and the huge Dai Mansion collapsed and fell instantly.
After that, one of the royal historians was succeeded by Kang Chongqing. Ground floor
In the history of the first emperor, Cheng Dai Li was a person who was upright and a little excessive, and his ambition was easy to break, which offended many people.
There are many people who think that he is not suitable for rolling in officialdom, does not learn the way of slippery, and bumpers sooner or later and he is covered in injuries.
Therefore, when Dai Li's incident happened, many people had an attitude of watching a good show, and the only people who were willing to speak for him were a few people who were good friends with Dali Temple Qingmu Jingzhong.
Probably because of the lessons of the past, although the successor Kang Chongqing is upright, he is not too rigid. He turned a blind eye to some innocuous trivial matters, turned a blind eye to trivial matters, did not offend others, did not violate his own principles, and got along fairly well with most of the officials of the six ministries.
But if he really committed a big crime and came into his hands, he would also be absolutely unforgiving.
However, this time the matter was really tricky, and after discussing with the three court envoys, he decided to start with the unofficial and unemployed Hu Ren illusionist Saishi and his two assistant assistant children.
In the Yamen of the Prison Division, Chengkang Chongqing sat on the top in the imperial history, and the three court envoys sat below for jury, including the authority of the Taiwan Yuan, Bi Xinqing, the palace envoy, and Yu Shangping, the court envoy.
Kang Chongqing looked at the Hu Ren Illusionist Sai Shi who was kneeling below, and the assistant of the chief horn boy who was kneeling behind the Lion Sai on both sides, and asked the three of them to share their names.
Hu Ren Illusionist Saishi saw four officials like Zhong Kui, who were dressed in official clothes and had serious expressions like imps in the underworld, sitting above, and trembled with fright, stumbling truthfully to tell his name and place of origin.
The two assistant children in the general horn were also shaking like chaff, reporting their names as Baozi and Dumpling respectively, and they did not remember who their biological parents were, and they used to beg on the street for a living, and were later adopted as apprentices by the Hu illusionist Sai Lion to teach them illusion skills.
Under the stage destroyed by the fire, a charred corpse was found, and Cheng Kang Chongqing asked the lion bluntly in the imperial history, is that corpse the nineteenth prince?
Since the Nineteenth Prince disappeared from the round stage for no reason, the Hu Ren illusionist Saishi was escorted back to the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion with two assistants, Xiao Tong, after being questioned by the Great Prince, and imprisoned.
At the beginning, he also had illusions, thinking that the Nineteenth Prince had temporarily changed his original intention of making the eldest prince make a fool of himself, and instead played disappearance to scare everyone, taking pleasure in it.
However, he gradually realized that the atmosphere in the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion was extraordinary, and it was obvious that something big had happened!
The palace attendants who went to the theater with the Nineteenth Prince today suddenly made a lot of trouble for some reason, as if to say that the Nineteenth Prince may really be missing.
Moreover, there are many people in the palace, and the nervous expressions of the three or five gathered together to secretly discuss, the disappearance of the nineteenth prince may be related to the royal partisan dispute.
I don't know much about the lion race of partisanship, but no one in the capital knows that the current saint is the most favored prince of the nineteenth.
As a result, the Nineteenth Prince disappeared during his home illusion show, and the Lion Race suddenly realized that he was dead.
It's just, didn't it say that the Nineteenth Prince was just missing, how could a charred corpse come out of here?
"The Nineteenth Prince is dead?"
The frightened Hu Ren illusionist, with a trembling voice, raised his head and asked Chengkang Chongqing in the imperial history above.
Yu Shangping, the envoy of the procuratorate who was sitting below and facing the rightmost position of the lion race, stared wide-eyed and scolded the lion to answer the question honestly, Hugh must pretend to be ignorant, otherwise the cane will be punished!
