The Minister of Punishment and the Young Minister of Dali Temple looked at Chu Chen, waiting for the young prince to speak first.
Chu Chen also did his part and said with his hands raised, "For the record, Uncle Emperor, the murderer has not been found out yet, but there is much to be found out about the two people captured alive."
"Huh? Tell me." The emperor looked at him.
Chu Chen said in a deep voice, "An old man with gray beard and hair, named Cheng Qi. After thorough investigation, he is a coachman from the Guangcheng Hou Mansion. Today, the eldest lady of the Guangcheng Hou Mansion went to Jokhang Temple to offer incense. She happened to be on the Jokhang Temple Mountain.
Resting at your feet. One is a young monk from the dining hall of the Jokhang Temple. His name is Wangsuo, and he is an orphan taken in by the Jokhang Temple."
"The coachman of the Marquis of Guangcheng?" The emperor frowned, "How do you know he is the murderer?"
"Before I arrived with people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, Gu Qingyan had already ordered people to block the foot of the Jokhang Temple. It is said that these two people wanted to take the opportunity to escape after the incident. They were very suspicious, so he ordered people to arrest them first.
, came under control. After we arrived, we were interrogated by people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. The two people refused to admit life or death at first, and then resorted to some means to recruit them. It is said that the poison was given to Cheng Qi through the hands of the finalist.
Qi went to the tea shed where the young princess was resting, and the young man in the tea shed administered the medicine. In case the matter was exposed, the three people in the tea shed swallowed the poison in advance."
The emperor's face turned cold and he asked An Huajin, "Did you decide to go to the Jokhang Temple on an impromptu basis, or did you have a plan for it?"
"It was an impromptu idea." An Huajin pursed his lips, "Gu Qingyan and I walked slowly all the way, and we stopped at the foot of the Jokhang Temple to have a bowl of tea. It was also an impromptu idea."
The emperor turned his head and asked Chu Chen, "What else have been found?"
"Where did Wangsuo's poison come from? Was he under the instigation of someone else or something? Why did Wangsuo and Cheng Qi get involved together and conspired to kill the little princess? The incident involved the Jokhang Temple and the Marquis of Guangcheng.
After discussing with two adults from the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, I ordered the Jokhang Temple to be sealed off, and a dozen people who were close friends with Wangsuo were arrested for interrogation. As for the Guangcheng Houfu, I came back to Beijing specifically to ask for instructions.
Uncle Huang’s will, let’s see how to check it.”
The emperor said in a deep voice, "Where is the eldest lady of the Guangcheng Hou Mansion? Is she her coachman? Where is she now?"
"The eldest lady was frightened. After the incident, she stayed at the foot of the Jokhang Temple. She didn't come back with us until we returned to Beijing. Now she has returned to the Guangcheng Hou Mansion." Chu Chen said.
The emperor nodded and ordered, "The murder of the little princess in broad daylight is a serious crime. No matter who is involved in this case, I will investigate it to the end. The Guangcheng Marquis' Mansion has also been sealed first, and all the people in the mansion who are officials in the court will be punished."
He will be dismissed first and undergo a thorough investigation and interrogation at home."
"Yes!"
Chu Chen, the Minister of Punishment, and the Young Minister of Dali Temple all responded.
"The Jokhang Temple is also well sealed. A young monk in the Jokhang Temple is pregnant with a highly poisonous poison. I will find out where the poison came from. I will not let go of any clues. Anyone who is related to this case and who is responsible for the murder will be strictly guarded."
Get to the bottom of it."
"Yes!"
"Okay, you all go down!" After the emperor ordered, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.
The Minister of Punishment and the Young Minister of Dali Temple bowed and retreated.
Chu Chen did not leave, but looked at An Huajin, "Uncle Emperor, what did you ask her to do?"
The emperor glanced at Chu Chen and then at Concubine Cheng, "She wants a chef from Jokhang Temple. I'll ask her about it."
"I want it." Chu Chen said with a nonchalant expression, "Uncle, do you know why she suddenly ran to the Jokhang Temple today? She just wanted to eat at the Jokhang Temple, so she went there because of its reputation. When she arrived at the foot of the Jokhang Temple,
She almost lost her life after drinking poisonous tea, but she didn't forget to go to the Jokhang Temple to eat it, and finally let her eat it. She was just a cook, how could it compare to the life of the little princess of Nanyang Palace? To prevent her from going to eat it again in the future, it would be better
So I gave him to her."
"Oh?" The emperor frowned, tilted his head and asked An Huajin, "Is this why you went to the Jokhang Temple?"
"Yes." An Huajin looked innocent, "I was in the capital and had nothing to do. I heard that the fast food at Jokhang Temple was delicious, so I took Gu Qingyan there. The poisonous tea scared me.
, if we can’t eat anymore, wouldn’t it be a bigger loss?”
She fell in love innocently!
And it seems to be very reasonable!
The emperor was angry and laughed, "You have caused a lot of trouble in Nanyang these years, right? No wonder the old prince told me that he would swing his military stick at you every now and then, otherwise you would be disobedient."
An Huajin was speechless, "Your Majesty, I have been in Beijing for the past two days, but I have not provoked anyone." After saying this, she seemed to remember something, looked at Chu Chen, and changed her words, "Oh, no, I provoked Prince Shanqin's Mansion.
”
Chu Chen glared, "If I wanted to poison you, I would have poisoned you that day when you kidnapped me and went drinking."
"Yes!" An Huajin nodded.
Chu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Emperor, do you have anything else to ask her about? If not, I have to ask her carefully, besides offending our Shanqin Palace, who else has she offended since entering the capital."<
/p>
"Well, this case is very relevant. Xiao An'er, you might as well think about it carefully." The emperor waved his hand and let him go.
Chu Chen stepped forward and pulled An Huajin, "Let's go!"
An Huajin was reluctant, "I haven't asked Concubine Cheng for advice on how to take care of herself? Concubine Cheng is so young, I..."
Chu Chen didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and dragged her out of the south study room, saying angrily, "You're not old yet, why are you taking care of yourself so early?"
An Huajin was convinced, "That's right! Let's go then!"
The two of them left.
Princess Cheng: "..."
She was going crazy. She sat hard on a hard bench and waited for An Huajin for more than an hour. When she came, she didn't wait for a cup of tea or say a few words. She just took what she did lightly.
Just take it easy and leave?
Her face turned livid with anger, "Your Majesty, you indulge her too much!"
The emperor said kindly and thoughtfully, "My concubine, I know that you have devoted your whole heart to Buddhism and have been very affectionate towards the Jokhang Temple for so many years. However, someone in the Jokhang Temple is now involved in the poisoned tea case. Before this matter is investigated, everyone in the Jokhang Temple
Everyone is suspect. She is just a greedy little girl. It’s not a big deal to ask for the chef of Jokhang Temple. Since she wants it, just give it to her. If you want to eat the vegetarian food cooked by the chef,
Just go to Anjia’s old house, that little girl wants to ask you for advice on how to maintain it, and I’m sure she won’t refuse.”
Princess Cheng: "..."
What else can she say? His Majesty is obviously partial to her.
She was so angry that her heart ached, and she also understood that An Huajin's identity was valued by His Majesty. Compared to the fact that she almost lost her life, in His Majesty's eyes, as long as she was a good chef, giving it to her was nothing. She sat down again
There was no point in going down, so I had to stand up and say goodbye and left the South Study Room.
