Chapter 52: Relief from the siege is His Majestys order!
Qin Ziyi continued to smile and said: "Just now, on the east courtyard road of Zhuque Yuan, I saw many plots of land, which are more dusty than the plots next to them."
"The dust was urgent and messy. It seems that someone wanted to cover it up, scatter it, and eliminate traces. However, due to time constraints, there was no way to deal with it all."
"Old sir, do you think it's your servant who is helping you hide things?"
Qin Ziyi approached He Shen,
Deep music slowly sounded.
He is only in his twenties, but he exudes dignity and confidence.
"The official is joking. Those are just my servants. Some people like to play and run around, so there are those footprints."
He Shen remained cheerful and cheerful.
Qin Ziyi couldn't see the flaw in He Shen's face, and knew in her heart that he couldn't break through He Shen.
But he trusts his intuition and judgment!!
"Yes or no, you will know once you find out."
"Lu Shi, bring someone with me, Shaoqing."
Qin Ziyi walked quickly and led the team in person. This was also his first personal search since he stepped into the Suzaku Courtyard.
East courtyard.
After groping carefully according to the footprints, Qin Ziyi found that the dust was gone on several bricks.
"The clues are broken. Did the owner of those footprints leave with a rope? Or...is there a mystery behind the land under your feet?"
Look around carefully.
The surrounding area is very flat, there are no walls for rope support, and the bricks underneath are the same as other places, and there is nothing wrong with them.
"Lu Shi, use brute force and try the place under my feet."
Qin Ziyi issued the order.
Just now he put his foot on the bottom, but there was no movement. If there is no movement again with brute force, then he guessed wrong.
"yes!!"
Lu Shi took the order and immediately led his men, preparing to pry open the bricks with swords.
Qin Ziyi returned to He Shen and said with a smile: "Old sir, if there is any loss later, I will compensate you Zhuque Courtyard."
"This... how dare you ask the official to compensate? A few bricks are only worth a few dollars, so there is no need to compensate."
He Shen said it easily.
But in fact, my heart was already tightening.
Because of where those bricks are.
It is the secret passage of Suzaku-in.
in,
All six bodies are there!!
"Bang bang bang..."
There were constant sounds of various weapons, and some bricks were about to be pulled out.
And at this time.
A loud voice reached everyone's ears.
"Qin Shaoqing, the Jinwu Guards have taken over this place."
A man wearing golden armor walked into the east courtyard with a knife.
behind him.
There is also a group of Jinwu Guard soldiers.
Qin Ziyi's eyes flashed, and he ordered Lu Shi and others to stop, while he stepped forward to greet them, cupping his hands and saying, "I didn't know that General Li Yan, the commander-in-chief, has arrived. Qin is rude."
Li Yan waved his hand: "No problem, take your people and leave. I, the Jinwu Guard, will take over this place."
"Oh?" Qin Ziyi frowned: "Forgive Qin for being blunt, when will the Jinwu Guard... be able to take over the case? This... is a bit beyond his authority? General Li, your hands are stretched too far.
"
Li Yan's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous edge.
"This is your Majesty's intention. I wonder if Qin Shaoqing thinks your Majesty is qualified?"
During the conversation.
He took out a gold waistband from his arms. The waistband was engraved with the character "李".
"this……"
Qin Ziyi was shocked.
He remembered that badge.
In the past, I had the honor to meet His Majesty publicly with the Minister of Dali Temple. His Majesty Li Shimin publicly stated that seeing this badge is like seeing the person himself.
"Qin Ziyi didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I hope you will forgive me!!"
He quickly knelt down.
The other Dali Temple guards also knelt down one after another.
"Hmph~ Ignorant people are not guilty, please leave. Don't bring anyone to Suzaku Court again in the future."
"yes!!"
Qin Ziyi stood up in a hurry and left with others.
Li Yan didn't say anything more. Seeing that no one was staying at Suzaku Court, he left with his Jinwu Guard.
Not long after they both left.
At the location of the upturned bricks, there was a "bang" sound, a gate opened, and the guards of the Prince of Chu's Mansion walked out one after another.
"Mr. He, what's going on? Why did the Jinwu Guards come? And... they pulled out His Majesty and helped us get out of the siege."
"Yes, yes, there is a feeling of hidden merit and fame."
He Shen looked in the direction of the gate and said with a meaningful smile: "This is because Your Majesty is aware of everything and knows that we did not kill anyone."
that's all.
A murder case ended in a very dramatic way.
………………
late at night.
Qin Ziyi held a file and headed to the palace.
"Hey, Qin Shaoqing, why are you entering the palace so late at night?"
One of the guard soldiers chuckled.
In ancient times, most people were not allowed to enter the palace at night unless there was something urgent.
But Qin Ziyi is not an ordinary person.
Entering the palace late at night.
This is not the first time for Qin Ziyi.
So these soldiers are all very familiar with him.
"Yeah, there are some things that need to be reported, things that can't be helped."
"I hope all brothers can pass through."
Qin Ziyi spread her hands with helplessness on her face.
"Okay, Qin Shaoqing, please come in."
"Qin Ziyi thanks you all."
Qin Ziyi cupped his hands to thank them one by one, and then walked into the palace with the files in hand.
The palace at night.
Extremely quiet.
Qin Ziyi's steps were fast and hasty, and she had obviously determined where she was going.
Going round and round.
When they arrived at the East Palace, someone there chatted with Qin Ziyi very familiarly and welcomed Qin Ziyi into the prince's residence.
"Your Highness, there is something special happening today, and Qin Ziyi needs to come and report."
Qin Ziyi knelt down half-kneeling towards the figure covered by the screen, her eyes respectful.
turn out to be!
Qin Ziyi is actually the son of Prince Li Chengqian.
"Something special? Tell me, what is it that deserves Qin Shaoqing's special trip?"
The voice behind the screen.
Neither sad nor happy, full of mystery.
"Today, when I was handling a case, it was really weird."
"This case was reported to the police by the Lu family of Fan Yang, who was the manager of Chuhe Restaurant. The content of the report was that they had a murder case. I sent people to investigate. It is almost certain that the people here are involved in a murder case.
"
"But at this moment, Li Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Jinwu Guards, appeared. He came with many Jinwu Guards to stop me from handling the case. He was still following His Majesty's orders."
"It's really strange, Your Majesty, that a small Chuhe restaurant has influenced the Fan Yang Lu family."
The back behind the screen,
I was writing a book when I suddenly froze.
"I know, it's getting late, so Qin Shaoqing should go back and rest as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
After handing the written file to Chen Shuda next to him, Qin Ziyi resigned.
dossier contents,
It records in detail the process of what happened today.
Chen Shuda was about to submit the dossier when he heard Li Chengqian suddenly laugh, a bit maniacally.
"Chuhe Restaurant...Chu..."
"Fanyang Lu, Your Majesty..."
"hehe……"
"Father, are you serious? You have such a partial heart."
