The eldest prince's trip to Hejian Mansion is indeed related to the murder case, and the one who controls everything behind this is Prince Jing.
The third prince thought he had plotted against the eldest prince before, and he was probably very proud of himself. Who would have thought that Huang Que was behind him?
"Your Majesty! That treasure map?" Tao Leyuan, the staff member, looked at Prince Jing carefully, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, "I don't know which force the treasure map is currently in. If you want to get it, I'm afraid it will take some effort."
Hu Mao looked at Prince Jing deeply, but he started to murmur in his heart.
The treasure map fell into the hands of someone unknown, and Prince Jing was not in a hurry. Could it be that there were already clues to this matter?
The treasure map mentioned by Tao Leyuan was the reason why the eldest prince went to Hejian Mansion. There was indeed something fishy about the family extermination case.
When the third prince wanted to cause trouble for the eldest prince in this matter, Prince Jing naturally wanted to get involved.
The neighbor was killed and died in prison. If this thing goes well and makes the father dissatisfied with the eldest prince, this is Prince Jing's plan.
At the same time, the third prince was also scheming, and Prince Jing followed the general's plan. When the time came, he would reveal to the emperor the inside story that the third prince had a hand in it.
Although this kind of thing can't hurt the two people's muscles and bones, it can make them lose face in front of civil and military officials and disappoint their father. It can also be regarded as a good opportunity.
Now was the time to establish the crown prince, and Prince Jing wanted to show the ministers whether these two men were qualified for the position of crown prince with their character.
It was only when he was investigating the matter behind the scenes that he discovered that there was another hidden story behind it.
The day before, the male owner of the deceased's family had a quarrel with the butcher next door over the shortage of meat. The butcher was so angry that he picked up a sharp knife and threatened to kill the other person's family.
This led to the fact that when the massacre occurred, all fingers were pointed at the butcher.
After the butcher was imprisoned, the Ministry of Punishment reviewed the case. Who would have thought that just after the review was completed, the butcher was actually killed in prison.
Prince Jing knew that this was the work of the third prince, so he sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.
But he happened to find out that the truth behind the murder case was not because of a quarrel, but because of a treasure map.
The head of the family involved in the massacre was named Cao Daniu, who dug out a parchment treasure map from his family's ancestral home.
Not long after he dug up the treasure map, he spilled the beans about it while drunk.
There were two other people present at the time, one was Cao Daniu's cousin, and the other was an escort from an escort agency.
It was precisely because of this treasure map that Cao Daniu's family was killed. The murderers were Cao Daniu's cousin and the bodyguard, and they were in cahoots.
At that time, the treasure map was divided into two parts, and Cao Daniu's cousin and the bodyguard each had a copy.
The third prince did not send anyone to conduct a thorough investigation and did not discover this matter at all.
Prince Jing originally thought that he was determined to get the treasure map, but unexpectedly, this matter turned out to be complicated.
Those two treasure maps fell into the hands of other forces. Prince Jing would have to spend a lot of energy to get them.
"Now that the treasure map is divided into two, it becomes even more difficult to obtain it." At this moment, King Jing also felt a sense of despair that man was not as good as God.
No matter how thorough your planning is, accidents always take place when you are not prepared and your plan will be planned and you will be caught off guard.
"The eldest prince will definitely not let go of the treasure map this time. The prince should move faster."
Guo Jing knew Prince Jing's difficulties. A strong dragon could not defeat a local snake. What's more, he had to get the treasure map without revealing his identity or publicizing the matter. This was really difficult.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have exposed the treasure map in the first place. In order to lure the eldest prince there, I really stole the chicken but lost the rice this time."
Tao Leyuan also sighed. If the eldest prince was in good health, he would definitely send more people to Hejian Mansion to snatch the treasure map immediately.
"Big brother had already ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. He would know sooner or later. We didn't expect that this planning meeting would go wrong. But we don't need to worry. When big brother wakes up, he will definitely send more troops to rob us.
Send someone to follow you and catch him by surprise. This way you don't have to reveal your identity and can save a lot of trouble."
Although Prince Jing was very angry at what Lin Han had done before, he came up with a countermeasure in just a moment.
Hu Maoshen set his sights on Prince Jing. He originally thought that Prince Jing's strategy was extraordinary, so he took refuge in Prince Jing.
On this point, he has always admired him.
"But the eldest prince will definitely take strict precautions after this incident. Maybe he will think that the attack is related to the treasure map, and it won't be so easy for us to succeed."
Guo Jing is not so optimistic about this matter. The eldest prince's strategy is not low.
When he wakes up, he will definitely think about this matter carefully, and maybe even guess what happened to Prince Jing.
The eldest prince did not get the treasure map when he returned to the capital, not even half of it. Because he suddenly returned to the capital a few days after leaving the capital.
It was precisely because of this that a flaw was revealed in You Yuan, the leader of the third prince.
Prince Jing's original plan was flawless. He originally planned to wait for the eldest prince's treasure map to be obtained. Prince Jing sent people to intercept him on the road. In this way, he not only obtained the treasure map, but also eliminated the eldest prince.
It was a pity that the eldest prince returned to Beijing early and did not get the treasure map, but Prince Jing's plan had to be advanced.
He had no choice but to speed up the recovery of You Yuan's mother and let You Yuan return to Beijing earlier so that he could meet the eldest prince on the way. This became a flaw.
Who would have thought that a black-faced man would show up halfway, leaving Prince Jing not only unable to obtain the treasure map, but also unable to get rid of the eldest prince.
"I have my own plans for this matter. The treasure map needs to be worked out slowly. Don't act too hastily."
Prince Jing said this just to be cautious in disclosing the matter. After all, the matter was too big and if his father knew about it, he would not have any share in the treasure map.
Besides, Lin Han was so useless that he had to send a secret guard to protect him to handle this matter.
"But can you see clearly the man with the black face? Please describe his facial features."
Prince Jing had never heard of such a person around the eldest prince. He turned and walked towards the bookcase.
He has good painting skills, and according to the description, he should be able to draw the characters accurately.
Lin Han knew that the master was asking about him, so he quickly replied: "You see clearly, this person has no time to hide his face. This person has a simple and honest face, a square face, and a black mole on his nose."
After Lin Han described the person's appearance in detail, Prince Jing stopped writing.
He looked at the people in the painting in silence, feeling a little surprised but also making sense.
"Look, is it this person?" He was silent for a long time before unfolding the portrait in his hand.
Lin Han took a look and was a little surprised that the man in the painting was very similar to the black-faced man he saw.
"Exactly this person!"
When Prince Jing heard this, his expression became much more solemn than before, and his heart sank.
