The scene was extremely tense for a moment. Xue Poye and Liu Tuo were hostile to each other, and their subordinates were also infected. The underworld guards and Yulin guards of the Criminal Department also looked at each other angrily.
The Yulin Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are the most noble. There may be some internal differences, but they have no face towards people from other yamen. A deep sense of superiority makes them absolutely ignore everyone.
Wei Shantai and the Ziyi people watched with cold eyes, naturally they would not get involved in the fight, and they remained silent as if they were watching a play.
At this moment, Prince Fu finally came over. His delicate face was as terrifying as a thousand-year-old zombie, gloomy and twisted, with his hands behind his back. He walked straight from the outside of the palace, glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Shantai,
Xue Shitou, Liu Tuo, you three come in with me." After saying that, he walked up to Rou Ji's room.
The three of them followed closely and entered the room without saying much.
As soon as Xue Poye entered the room, he first smelled a refreshing fragrance. The fragrance was so captivating that it was obviously Rouji's usual scent, but today's fragrance was actually mixed with a faint smell of blood.
The furnishings inside are exquisite and luxurious, but the most eye-catching thing is the golden and soft Xiangluan bed, which is large and soft and looks extremely precious.
Rou Ji is a woman, in other words, she is the tool for Prince Fu to vent his desires on the bed. It is reasonable and reasonable to decorate the bed here in such a beautiful and noble manner. After all, this bed is the one that is used the most.
Even if she died, Rouji would die on this bed.
Rouge was covered by a soft brocade, and her body could not be seen clearly, but her uneven body contours were fully visible.
Prince Fu looked extremely hurt. He sat by the bed and stared blankly at Rou Ji who was dead on the bed. After a long time, he glanced at Xue Poye and the others and said calmly: "Yu Linwei is loyal, although he neglected his duty this time.
, but not guilty, Liu Tuo, later send someone to release the nine Yulin guards and hand them over to Deputy General Guard Xue."
Liu Tuo frowned, glanced at Xue Poye coldly, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the nine Yulin guards were all present at the time of the incident. I'm afraid they are somewhat involved. Before the trial comes out, I'm afraid...!"
Before he finished speaking, Prince Fu had already waved his hand and said: "Since he really wants to assassinate Rouji, then the assassin naturally has a careful plan, and part of the plan is to avoid the Yulin Guards." After a pause, he was very honest.
He said: "You have all done secret business. These rules must be clear. There is no need to keep your eyes on Yulin Wei. It will delay the investigation of the real culprit."
Liu Tuo heard some dissatisfaction in Prince Fu's voice, so he could only say respectfully: "I obey your orders!"
Xue Poye knew in his heart that the identity of Prince Fu did not need to care about the life and death of several Yulin guards. Today, he took the matter seriously and ordered Liu Tuo to handle it. That was giving him a big blow in front of him.
This favor is silent but very obvious. It seems that Prince Fu has done a lot of things that are not leaky in Wushan.
After Prince Fu explained the matter, he pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Rou Ji has no hatred at all. To assassinate her, naturally someone wants to give me a surprise."
Everyone present had naturally guessed this. None of the three people spoke first and waited quietly for Prince Fu's instructions.
"I'm afraid there are many people who have objections to this palace, but there are very few people who can sneak into Xin'an Palace and assassinate Rou Ji in Fubo Palace silently without leaving a trace." Prince Fu's expression grew darker.
gloomy.
Liu Tuo suddenly said at this time: "Yes, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Kyoto, but Xin'an Palace is also heavily guarded, so ordinary people cannot enter." After a pause, he said calmly: "The inspector and the Kyoto Prefecture may have something like this.
They are characters, but they will never do anything to cause trouble."
Xue Poye frowned. Liu Tuo's words were a bit abrupt, and from a certain point of view, they were taboo words. Once these words were spread, they would definitely offend the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Kyoto Prefecture, at least Wei Shantai, the boss of the Kyoto Prefecture.
His face looked a little ugly.
Prince Fu was obviously a little surprised. He stared at Liu Tuo and raised his hand and said: "Liu Tuo, you can express your thoughts. Even if you are wrong, I will not blame you."
Liu Tuo's strange words were naturally followed by other words. Prince Fu could naturally see this.
"I just did an autopsy, and the official has also seen the results." Liu Tuo said seriously: "The official's personal opinion is that Rouji's fatal injury was on the chest. The scar on the chest is most likely a sword wound."
Prince Fu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is that a sword wound? At first glance, I don't think it looks like a sword wound."
"The official thinks it is a sword wound, but there are so many kung fu in the world. Even if someone uses other weapons to disguise it as a sword wound, it is very possible." Liu Tuo analyzed: "If you want to know if Rouji is really injured.
Under the sword, it can only be seen from the wounded heart."
"Then what result can you see?" Prince Fu frowned.
Liu Tuo didn't answer in a hurry, he just looked sideways at Xue Poye and Wei Shantai, but these two guys looked half asleep and seemed not interested in Liu Tuo's words.
In fact, Xue Poye was actually murmuring in his heart: "Why is Liu Tuo so enthusiastic about this matter? This seems to go against his personality of always watching with a cold eye."
Prince Fu said calmly: "Liu Tuo, if the real culprit is really found, I will definitely reward you heavily. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. Don't have any scruples."
Liu Tuo finally said: "Rou Ji's heart was split into four pieces. As far as the official knows, it was an extremely profound sword technique, and the heart was shattered by the sword energy from one blow."
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Wei Shantai's mouth, as if he understood something.
"The murderer deliberately disguised the scars on the surface to make people think it was just an ordinary swordsmanship. Even the heart injured by the sword energy, the murderer also made a great disguise." Liu Tuo's voice was gentle, as if he wanted to let everyone present know.
Everyone heard clearly.
"What disguise?"
Liu Tuo pondered for a moment and said respectfully: "If Your Highness wants to understand more carefully, you can take a look at Rou Ji's wounds."
Prince Fu frowned. This Rouji was his beloved concubine, and her body was very precious. Even if she died, she was still his concubine. If these people saw it, it would be quite inappropriate, and it could even be said that it would be a bit big.
Lose face.
But Rouji was his beloved concubine, and she was stabbed for no reason. Prince Fu had the idea in his heart that he would definitely find the real murderer, so he pondered for a long time, and slowly opened Rouji's brocade, revealing his face and half of her upper body.
Fortunately, the wound was on the upper side of the vagina, so the entire vagina was not visible.
Prince Fu waved and said, "You three, look at the wound together and think about whether you have seen it before?"
Liu Tuo stepped forward, Xue Poye and Wei Shantai looked at each other, and slowly leaned over. Xue Poye saw that Rou Ji's skin on the bed was as smooth as cream. Even if she died, the luster did not disappear immediately. It was as crystal clear as jade and as snow-like.
It was white and greasy, with the upper half of her breasts slightly exposed, plump and elastic. What surprised Xue Poye the most was that she had actually seen this Rouji herself.
That day in the Ten Thousand Birds Garden, Prince Fu was accompanied by a stunning beauty. Wasn't it the dead Rouge in front of him?
Liu Tuo pointed to a bloody hole on Rou Ji's upper side and said, "Your Highness, please take a look!"
Xue Poye also looked at the blood hole, and saw that the blood hole was as thick as an index finger. The blood had solidified at the wound. The skin around the blood hole was still ruddy, and there was no dark gray or blue color like ordinary wounds.
Wei Shantai only glanced at it and didn't look at it again. For such an old fox, the mystery he could see at a glance was enough for others to study it for more than half a year.
"Is this the mouth of the sword?" Prince Fu saw that his beloved concubine was now dead. He felt distressed and angry at the same time: "Where is such a small mouth of the sword? What's more, the edge of the sword is flat and narrow, and this is a hole.
Type wound, couldn’t it be from another weapon?”
"Your Highness, in fact, this is not a real wound!" Liu Tuo said with some confidence: "This official works as an errand in the Ministry of Justice and has seen a lot of wounds. If I am not wrong, this wound has also been tampered with."
"Have you done anything?" Prince Fu, who had always been as cold as ice, was finally surprised.
Liu Tuo nodded and said: "Your Highness, if you take a closer look, you will find that the sword's mouth is actually smaller and narrower than the current sword's mouth. It's just that the murderer wanted to mislead us. After Rouji's death, the sword was
Another sword was added to the mouth, and the two sword mouths were connected together, making the originally smaller sword mouth larger."
The more Xue Poye listened, the more surprised he became. He didn't expect Liu Tuo to have such knowledge. He was a little surprised. He couldn't help but look at the wound. Even if the wound was fake, it must be a very clever technique. From the outside, if you don't look closely,
, I really can’t see the slightest hint of forgery.
Prince Fu stretched out his hand and touched the wound gently. After a long time, he said coldly: "Yes, this wound has been manipulated. Even I can see this. I guess the murderer is not an experienced person."
However, a thought came to Xue Poye's mind, and he thought to himself: "Perhaps I just want you to see that this is a lie, and what is true is what is true, and what is true is what is false."
Liu Tuo continued: "Besides, the autopsy we just conducted revealed that Rouji's heart was shattered into four parts. However, the official felt that maybe the murderer did it intentionally, or maybe the murderer was incompetent. In fact, the heart should be
It was broken into eight pieces!"
Xue Poye became more and more confused as he listened. He didn't understand what Liu Tuo had been doing for a long time and claimed that Rouji's injury was false. What was his purpose? What was the conspiracy?
Prince Fu finally heard the hidden meaning in Liu Tuo's words, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Liu Tuo, you seem to know something that I don't know."
Liu Tuogui was the only son of Liu Guogong from one of the three major royal families. Although he bowed to the prince, he did not have the same fear and awe as ordinary people. He just said calmly: "Yes, I have seen this kind of swordsmanship before."
Prince Fu slowly covered the brocade, stood up, stared at Liu Tuo, and said word by word: "You tell me, I listen!"
Liu Tuo glanced at Xue Poye and Wei Shantai, and found that Wei Shantai had half-closed his eyes, as if he was asleep. Xue Poye, on the other hand, frowned with a bit of suspicion on his face, so he said slowly: "This kind of
The sword technique is called viper!"
"Viper?"
"Yes, this sword technique is described as vicious and cunning, like a poisonous snake entering the belly!" Liu Tuo explained.
Prince Fu's eyes were cold and his face was gloomy. He stared at Liu Tuo and said, "Is this kind of swordsmanship easy to learn?"
"It's difficult to learn." Liu Tuo said with certainty: "According to the official's estimate, there are no more than ten people in Chu who can master this swordsmanship."
Prince Fu turned to Wei Shantai and asked calmly: "Master Wei, have you ever heard of such a sword technique?"
Wei Shantai narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Your Highness, I have certainly heard of this kind of sword technique, but I have never seen it before. It is said that to practice this kind of sword technique, you need to be immersed in the glaciers of the North Country.
, which is difficult for ordinary people to practice.”
"Have you heard of anyone in Kyoto who practices this swordsmanship?" Prince Fu sneered at the corner of his mouth, revealing the coldness in his bones.
Wei Shantai shook his head, and Liu Tuo also shook his head, but added: "The official should do his best to investigate such a person. If such a person appears in Kyoto, the official is sure that this person is the murderer in all likelihood."
Xue Poye finally said: "No matter what they do, everyone has a motive. For such a big thing as Rou Ji's assassination, there is naturally a motive. The official thinks that those who are good at using the Viper Sword Technique are not necessarily the ones who are good at it.
Murderer, if we want to identify the real murderer and let Rouji die in peace, we still have to be cautious."
Prince Fu glanced at Xue Poye, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Liu Tuo smiled coldly and said calmly: "I just speculated based on common sense. Even if someone is found who is good at using the viper sword technique, he will still have to be tried." After a pause, he said slowly: "But who is there in Kyoto?
We still don’t know anyone who is good at using this skill. Moreover, there are very few people in the world who are good at using viper sword skills. If you want to find out, I’m afraid it may cost a huge amount of time. It seems that there are only three of us.
We joined forces to conduct a secret investigation."
Xue Poye sneered sarcastically: "From this point of view, this matter has nothing to do with my nine Yulinwei brothers."
"Master Xue's words are wrong." Liu Tuo did not give in: "You and I can't guarantee that among the nine Yulin guards, there are no masters who are good at using viper swordsmanship, but they are a group of people who need to be scrutinized.
"After a pause, he sneered and said, "Mr.
Xue Poye sneered and said: "I also know the word "sightless but blind".
The two were tit for tat, and Prince Fu had already said coldly: "There is no need to argue. You go find someone and interrogate him directly. I think with your ability, you should be able to give me a satisfactory answer."
As soon as Prince Fu said this, all the eyes of Liu Tuo and the other three people were focused on him.
Prince Fu said word for word: "Go to Wu Huan from Sankesong of Yinmen, he is the person you are looking for!" After saying this, Prince Fu had a cold face, clasped his hands behind his back, and left here quickly.
Xue Poye was surprised, but Wei Shantai had an expression of "Sure enough," and a proud smile appeared on the corner of Liu Tuo's mouth.
Of course he was very proud. He tried his best to outline the murderer without specifying it or naming it, but he allowed the self-righteous Prince Fu to identify the murderer.
This was a task assigned by his master, and he completed it calmly, so he was naturally very proud of it.
The Kyoto Prefectural Government Office is definitely not the largest government office in Kyoto. Apart from the pair of lions with claws and teeth in front of the door and the big drum two people tall, the biggest impression given by the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office is that it is deserted.
Of course, the Kyoto Prefecture will also review the case, but everyone knows that the Kyoto Prefecture, who is like the King of Hell, has a very special rule. No matter who is involved in the case, whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, when you enter the government office, you will first be given a slap in the face.
Wait, according to King Jingyan, there are absolutely no unilateral cases in this world.
For example, if you were robbed of money, it only means that you brought too much money and didn't know how to cover it up, so the gangster saw it. The gangster is guilty, but if you didn't cover it up well, you are naturally guilty too, or it could be that a woman was raped.
The rapist is naturally a heinous crime, but the woman who was raped is either too beautiful and shows herself in public, or she likes to attract bees and butterflies, so she is naturally guilty. Even if an elder accuses his children of being unfilial, it is just
Because I didn’t have a good education at the beginning, I am equally guilty.
Therefore, once people in Kyoto are involved in a case, they would rather resolve it privately than go to Kyoto Prefecture unless they have to. Even if there are cases that cannot be solved, everyone will rush to the Kyoto garrison yamen to complain and redress their grievances, or go directly to the criminal bureau yamen.
Very few people visit Kyoto Prefecture.
Originally, filing a complaint with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice was a bit like grabbing medicine instead of entering a drug store but going into a pharmaceutical factory. However, the Kyoto Prefecture is mostly maintaining the overall order of Kyoto. For those ordinary small cases, under the instruction of His Majesty the Emperor, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice also
Just have to go on.
Kyoto Prefecture does not try ordinary cases, which has become an extremely interesting sight in Dachu today.
Kyoto Prefecture, which is usually deserted, is very lively today. Many people know that something big happened in the palace, and the person being tried in Kyoto Prefecture today seems to be the murderer.
Although they did not dare to get too close to Kyoto Prefecture, the people from Kyoto were still very far away, and the Kyoto Prefecture was completely surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
It is a rare event for the Kyoto Prefecture to hold a court trial, and now it is the trial of the murderer of Prince Fu's beloved concubine. This is naturally an exciting point, so the idle people are talking about it, whispering in small groups.
In the lobby of the Kyoto Prefecture, the Governor of Kyoto sits in the middle, Xue Poye, the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Camp, sits on the left, and Liu Tuo, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, sits on the right. On both sides of the hall are purple robes with swords, like wolves and tigers.
There was a gloomy atmosphere.
Wei Shantai half-squinted his eyes, making his already very small eyes look like they were closed, while Xue Poye touched his nose and leaned back on the chair leisurely.
The nine Yulin guards were released quickly after a round of review, and Xue Poye's main task was easily completed. He couldn't care who Rouji was assassinated, he just sat and watched.
It's just a play.
Wu Huan is Prince Yin's retainer. This is known to the world. If it is really confirmed that Wu Huan is the murderer, then Prince Yin will definitely be implicated. Of course Prince Fu knows this, so he will definitely seize this opportunity to do something cruel.
Hit Prince Yin hard.
Xue Poye himself has no intention of getting involved in the princely dispute. Although he may inevitably get involved in the end, that will happen later, and he will naturally not make any statement at the moment.
"Hasn't Wu Huan come for trial yet?" After squinting his eyes for a long time, Wei Shantai finally asked lazily out of boredom.
The person in purple below immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the summons has been issued, but the fifth ring has not arrived yet."
"This guy is so arrogant." Wei Shantai picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and said leisurely: "He has been working hard for the three of us to wait for a long time. He really has face."
Liu Tuo had been admiring the jasper ring on his hand, looking very bored, and said: "Wait for a while, if you still don't come, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Liuheyuan. If that's the case,
This Wu Huan has not yet been tried, but he is guilty of defying the king's law and refusing to go to trial. I think this crime is enough for him to eat a pot."
The three of them all understood that Wu Huan belonged to Prince Yin, so how could he be summoned at will? Even if this matter was of great importance, Prince Yin had to weigh it carefully.
After all, among the three chief judges today, Wei Shantai is not one of his, let alone Liu Tuo. The only one who is specious, Xue Poye, is not sure yet. Who dares to say that this bureau was not specially set up to deal with him, Liu Ziyin, once the three chief judges
The trial team worked together to determine that Wu Huan was the murderer, and even were able to produce evidence. Regardless of whether the evidence was true or false, Liu Ziyin would be hit to a certain extent. Liu Zifu would naturally take the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Emperor and add insult to injury. The situation would then be very different.
Something is seriously wrong with the second prince.
In everyone's minds, once Wu Huan is the murderer, then the person who instigates Wu Huan can be guessed by his butt that it is Prince Yin.
So whether Wu Huan can come or not is really a question.
Not a small problem!
Settled with it
It’s nearly a million words long. I’d like to thank my friends for their support along the way. Thank you very much.
I originally wanted to add a plot, but I personally felt that some things were not explained clearly, and many of the subsequent stories seemed a bit abrupt, so it would be better to write some places more carefully.
In fact, if you are as smart as you, I am afraid you have already understood what is laid behind these structures, and some of the things that will happen may be able to get a glimpse from the previous hints. This is not to make things mysterious, but to try to make the layout as beautiful as possible.
Thank you, please continue to support in the future!dd
