Prince Zhu Shi, the eldest son-in-law of the dynasty, was assassinated!
The eldest princess didn't come to her senses at first, but when she came to her senses, the anger in her heart could no longer be controlled.
There are many brothers in the Zhao family, and there are even more children and nephews. The mourning hall is full of people kneeling. The eldest princess looked at the people lying in the coffins. They were still alive and warm last night, but now? Now they are just lying there.
It became cold and hard there. She couldn't help but move back. She couldn't accept this change!
I don't know which nephew muttered: "It's all Han Er and Lin San's fault. If they weren't troublesome, why did my uncle die?"
Yes! If it weren’t for them, why would the Prince Consort be dead?
She turned around and raised her feet to leave, but she saw her father-in-law, who was being supported by someone, walking over with a pale face. She kicked her nephew who had just muttered: "What the hell did you say? What does this have to do with other people?"
It was because he made careless friends and was obsessed with lust. If there was no evil in his heart, he just went to the Taoist temple to frighten them, so why did he surprise them! He is really to blame, and the friend who deceived him should also be blamed, that Song Song
..." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't stop coughing, and his body was as stooped as a shrimp.
The eldest princess wiped her tears, walked around her father-in-law, and walked away.
Yes! If you want to blame it, you have to blame those friends and the Empress of Song Dynasty. She asked these people to go down to be buried with the consort.
"Mei Gu!" The eldest princess came out of the mourning hall, almost unable to stand, and staggered, but was supported by a woman in her thirties or forties, "Your Highness, you have to take care of yourself!"
The eldest princess leaned against Mei Gu and asked, "Have you asked someone to tell the Queen Mother?"
yes!
"Has the Queen sent anyone?"
Aunt Mei shook her head and said nothing.
The eldest princess burst into tears, "The Queen Mother... is so cruel!"
Mei Gu said hurriedly: "Your Highness, I must love you. You are suddenly separated from me... I feel heartbroken and painful... Even if I am by your side, what can you say?"
The eldest princess kept shaking her head, then stood firm and walked forward step by step, "Aunt Mei, summon the consort's personal entourage and the steward of the palace, I don't believe it, they don't know who made the date with the consort!"
Yes! Just ask people to come over.
As the master and servant were walking forward, the chief historian of the mansion came and reported, "Your Royal Highnesses, princesses, princes, princes and princesses, have come to express their condolences..."
The eldest princess sneered: "Please!"
Tongtong and Fourth Master followed everyone into the eldest princess's mansion. Before they reached the mourning hall, they first saw the eldest princess standing in the courtyard dressed in all white.
The eldest prince cupped his hands and said, "Aunt, please forgive me and obey."
The eldest princess ignored the eldest prince and walked directly to the Fourth Master, "Silang, you are in charge of the Criminal Department. The assassination of the consort was investigated by the Criminal Department." She said and stretched out her finger, "Three days! I want the answer in three days.
! If not, I will place the coffin of the Prince Consort at the entrance of the palace. When will you give me a satisfactory answer? When will I bury the Prince Consort? Before that, the Prince Consort will not accept condolences from anyone! So, go back,
Go back and report to the Holy One, saying that every time a guest comes to express condolences, I will say this..."
The fourth princess sneered, "Aunt, my ancestor died suddenly. If my aunt had forced me like this... I'm afraid the murderer would have been caught long ago."
"shut up!"
"shut up!"
The eldest prince and the fifth prince reprimanded at the same time, and the fourth princess sneered, "Where did I go wrong? The prince-in-law died in the eldest princess's palace, which is closely connected to the Duke's palace. The assassin died in broad daylight.
Did you just set up the ambush? He must have been in the house a long time ago. Look, the murderer is not elsewhere, but in this house!"
The eldest princess glared angrily, "What did you say?"
The fourth princess was about to speak, but the fifth princess stopped her and spoke softly, "Aunt, the fourth sister speaks loudly, but actually... if you think about it carefully, does it make sense? Just like the fourth princess
As my sister said, when it was daylight, he got up and killed someone. Who wouldn’t think it was weird? There were many opportunities to kill people in one night, but why did a fatal arrow happen to come just when the fourth brother was about to take away the prince-in-law?
What? It's not easy to train such a good killer. Wouldn't it be great if you could kill someone and escape unscathed? How could you choose to kill someone at such a time? What a coincidence... it's like asking Fourth Brother to watch.
A scene was played. Or, someone in this house, in front of you, aunt, played a big scene! Perhaps from the beginning, the prince-in-law's death was doomed. His role was over, and it was time to exit.
!”
The eldest princess raised her hand and slapped the fifth princess on the face, and there was an unusually loud snap.
"aunt!"
No one expected that the eldest princess would reach out and hit someone. The slap was so hard that blood oozed from the corner of the fifth princess's mouth.
The third princess pulled the fifth princess aside and protected her in her arms, "Why did my aunt have such a bad temper? Is it because the fourth sister and the fifth sister were right and you became angry because of your shame, or..."
The eldest princess stretched out her hand to strike again, but the eldest prince and the second prince stretched out their hands to block it, "Auntie, calm down!"
Prince Ping pulled the third princess and the fifth princess further away and no longer asked them to come forward.
The eldest princess was grabbed by the arms of the two princes, and she immediately smiled coldly, "Okay! Okay! The country that my father worked so hard to build will be handed over to you wolf cubs..."
"Aunt!" The fourth master separated the three people and looked at the eldest princess, "Three days to solve the case is too much! If you want the result, I will give you the result today. Originally, the Ministry of Punishment wanted to send someone to investigate, but my nephew felt that
, it’s not too late to disturb the prince-in-law’s death. It’s not too late to wait for a few days until the aunt can be more sensible! But since the aunt is anxious to find the murderer, then... now! Let’s catch the person behind the scenes in front of the prince-in-law’s mourning hall.
How about coming out?"
The eldest princess was really stunned this time, "Now? Find out?"
Yes! You can find it out right now.
"Do you still think that the real culprit behind the scenes is in the house?"
Fourth Master nodded, very sure, "Yes! It's in this mansion."
The eldest princess's eyes were a little colder: "Okay! It's in this mansion, right in front of the mourning hall. I want to see who is behind this." After saying that, she turned around and went to the mourning hall. Lin Yutong
He exchanged a vague glance with Fourth Master, and then followed everyone in.
The deceased was the eldest, so everyone passed through the filial sons and offered incense to the eldest son-in-law. The fourth master looked at Zhao Jing and said, "My lord, at the request of the eldest princess, I am here to interrogate the assassination case of the eldest son-in-law in the mourning hall. Please do you please
Please cooperate."
Zhao Jing frowned, then looked at the eldest princess, "Why is Your Highness so difficult for others? I know that you are sad, but..."
"My lord..." Fourth Master interrupted directly, "May I ask if you can call all the servants in the mansion who are valued by the master?"
Zhao Jing sighed, "Since you insist on this...then I will obey Your Highness." After saying that, he turned to look at a servant who was bowing and said, "Zhao Jia, go and call everyone."
yes!
Zhao Jia cupped his hands, turned around and left.
Everyone came to the door, and suddenly she heard a very soft voice, and she shouted: "Wait a minute."
Zhao Jia stopped immediately, turned around, and still stood there with his hands folded.
Then Tongtong slowly walked out from the crowd and looked around Zhao Jia, "May I ask this steward, did you go out of the city yesterday?"
Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "For the record, Princess, this villain has never left the city. He has always been in the mansion and has not gone anywhere."
Lin Yutong nodded slowly, "You haven't gone anywhere? Who can prove that you have been there all along and really haven't gone anywhere?"
Zhao Jia raised his head and glanced at Lin Yutong, then said: "The Duke can testify that this villain has always been in the house and has not gone anywhere!"
Lin Yutong saluted Zhao Jing and asked, "My lord, were you with Zhao Jia all day yesterday? Were you never separated?"
Zhao Jing looked thoughtful, "I don't remember him reporting that he was going out."
Fourth Master smiled inwardly, Zhao Jing's answer was already a clue! According to the method of the Ministry of Punishment, nothing could be found in this case. But this matter may not be exploitable! Zhao Jing thought he was crazy,
I haven’t encountered a ghost like that!
Just watch! Watch how Tongtong creates the 'culprit' for this case in public.
Tongtong was wearing a white dress and looked even more delicate. She walked slowly and turned to look at Zhao Jia, "Did you hear it? The Duke said that you didn't report that you were going out, but he didn't say that you were following him all the time.
Together."
"How can I be with the Duke all the time? It's just a rule in the house. You are not allowed to go out without reporting."
Tongtong couldn't help but nodded, "What you said makes sense, but you have to prove that you really abide by the rules, right? Or the Duke can prove that he summons you at least every half hour... Otherwise, you will
First you have to prove that you were there at every time yesterday, and then you have to make it clear who you were with. Who can prove that you were actually doing something somewhere at that time? Don’t get me wrong.
, not just you, but everyone has to ask. But since you are so valued by the Duke, I naturally have to ask you first."
Zhao Jia said, "Yesterday, the Duke of Guo stayed in the study for a whole day, and the villain stayed in the study room and never left. To prove that the villain has been in the study room all the time, he had three meals a day.
Someone came to deliver food..."
"Then what did you eat in the morning, lunch and dinner, how much did you eat, who brought you the meal, when did it come, who collected the meal plate from you, and when did it come...Have you finished eating it all?
What dishes were left? Did you drink? How much wine did you drink? Was there tea in the middle? What kind of tea was used, who made the tea for you, who brought the hot water... How many cups did you drink and how many dishes did you make?
...Have you gone to the toilet? How many times have you gone to the toilet? Who dealt with Gong Tong this morning..." Lin Yutong suddenly stopped when he asked, turning his face to explain to Zhao Jing, the eldest princess and everyone in the Zhao family, "These questions are for everyone.
You have to explain everything clearly! You can’t collude with a confession by asking this question all of a sudden. You can’t collude with a confession by colluding with something as detailed as this... Whoever says two things doesn’t match up, then there must be something wrong, right?”
The eldest princess thought for a moment, and then nodded, this is indeed a way.
Lin Yutong looked at Zhao Jing again, "You can tell who is in the mansion and who is not in the mansion by just asking! Among the people who left the mansion, who was riding what horse, who was following, which way they were walking, and where they passed on the way.
, what scenery, people, and things you saw... you can't remember clearly, but if you remember, you must tell the truth, otherwise the secret will be exposed. Therefore, as long as someone has something evil in their heart, they can definitely find it out!" As he said,
He sighed, "Either he escapes from the house now, or he simply commits suicide out of fear of crime... Otherwise, it will only be a matter of time before he is found out..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a thud from behind the mourning hall, followed by several screams.
The screen was moved away, and a man dressed as a steward was bleeding to death. There was still a porcelain bottle in his hand, and he had obviously committed suicide by intoxicating himself.
Lin Yutong chuckled and looked at the eldest princess, "The mastermind you want is here!"
The eldest princess looked at her father-in-law with complicated eyes, her breathing gradually became rapid...
