This act of disrespecting the prince clearly means that he regards himself as a local emperor who is high in the sky and the emperor is far away. Maybe the prince will be furious and conduct a thorough investigation of Tianxing City.
In Tianxing City, Duan Zhanlong became anxious immediately after hearing the news.
"Dad, do you need to worry? It's not us." Duan Xiaoqing said nonchalantly: "We are open-minded. No matter how angry the prince is, he can't stop us!"
Duan Zhanlong's eyes were far-reaching and he sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has unpredictable thoughts and profound moral principles. I am worried that he will take the opportunity to eradicate his dissidents."
Of course, the death of Deputy Palace Master Yuan could not be done with anything, but the prince could definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack to rectify Tianxing City.
As the lord of a city, he can definitely be in the ranks of rectification.
As for whether the evidence can be sorted out, haha, as long as the prince wants it, he can find any kind of evidence.
"Dad, you are the city lord appointed by the emperor and a close minister of the emperor. How dare the prince touch you casually?" Duan Xiaoqing asked innocently.
Duan Zhanlong twirled his beard, and an invisible shadow appeared in his eyes: "The emperor is old and has left the government affairs to the prince. Your majesty will not interfere too much with the team's choices."
Your Majesty has reached the age of abdicating the throne in favor of worthy men, so he will definitely let the prince choose his own men.
To capture the Lord of Tianxing City, His Majesty will only make suggestions, but will not fully intervene.
"So serious?" Duan Xiaoqing became a little nervous and complained: "What is this Qian Yunwei doing? Isn't he too courageous? He dared to openly kill the person the prince wanted to interrogate, and it hurt us!"
In response, Duan Zhanlong said: "If the prince really wants to deal with me, there will be another article if this matter is not dealt with."
"It's true that the death of Deputy Palace Master Yuan was quite secretive." Duan Zhanlong thought: "Although Qian Yunwei is cold and arrogant, he is by no means stupid."
"Why would you kill the prince in front of his eyes?"
The same question arises in the minds of everyone who knows about it.
This night was destined to keep the senior officials of Tianxing City awake all night, all waiting for the prince's reaction.
They asked for nothing but that when the prince was angry, he would adhere to the principle that every wronged person deserves his debt, and never take the opportunity to cause trouble and implicate innocent people.
The sky is getting a little brighter.
But Tianxing City was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.
One night was enough for the prince to know the matter and make a decision.
At ten o'clock in the morning, it was the time for the prince to issue his decree.
Duan Zhanlong hesitated again and again, but still stepped out of the city lord's palace and came to the prince's beast car alone.
"Prince, I am guilty." Duan Zhanlong thought for a long time. What should come will eventually come. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to plead guilty.
However, I don’t know if the prince will come back.
And are you willing to give him a chance to plead guilty?
"What's the crime?" Suddenly, the prince's magnetic but not majestic voice came from the carriage.
Duan Zhanlong's heart trembled and he bent even deeper: "My lord, you are guilty of negligence!"
"Why was it overlooked?"
Duan Zhanlong said: "Deputy Palace Master Yuan, whom the prince wanted to interrogate, died tragically in prison last night. The murderer is currently unknown."
The female voice of the prince sounded calmly: "So it's because of this! Just in time, I also want to ask you about this."
From this tone, it seemed that the prince already knew about the death of Deputy Palace Master Yuan.
Just asking him for what?
Could it be that he is taking the opportunity to cause trouble?
He bowed his head and said, "I know everything I know, and I will answer it!"
"I want to ask you, who solved the case of the nightmare in the New Year?" Prince Youyou asked.
kindness?
Duan Zhanlong thought that the prince would rely on him to accuse him of his guilt, but he only asked about irrelevant things.
Who solved the case? Isn’t it being reported all over the country?
Do you even need to ask?
But since the prince brought it up, there must be deep meaning. He suddenly remembered that when the nightmare case was solved in the year of 1999, Qian Yunwei once said to his face that Lin Qiunian was the one who solved the case.
But in the report the next day, the protagonist was Qian Yunwei himself.
At that time, he only felt strange and thought there was something inside, so he didn't think much about it. But now when the prince suddenly asked, he suddenly realized the problem.
He thought for a while and told what he knew.
After a long while, the prince said calmly: "The investigation is similar to that of my prince."
Swish——
A scroll was thrown out of the beast cart: "City Lord Duan, take a look."
Duan Zhanlong picked it up carefully, opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Above are the transcripts of various important officials in the police palace!
It turns out that the prince had already started taking action last night, dispatching personnel to investigate and question all the important officials in the police palace.
Each of these inquiries has the same key point - there is someone else who solved the case, Deputy Palace Master Yuan is an insider, and Qian Yunwei visited him before his death.
The doubts in Duan Zhanlong's heart suddenly became clear, and he was surprised and said: "Qian Yunwei is so brave, he dares to pretend to receive heavenly power! Could it be that Deputy Palace Master Yuan killed someone and silenced him?"
All the evidence allowed Duan Zhanlong to immediately explain Qian Yunwei's doubts about killing Deputy Palace Master Yuan.
Qian Yunwei could suppress the people inside the police palace, but Deputy Palace Master Yuan, who was about to be interrogated, was a huge hidden danger. It was only reasonable for Qian Yunwei to get rid of him.
"The truth of the matter needs to be investigated by you, the city lord." The prince said: "Within three days, find out the truth and send the investigation report to the capital."
You didn't take the opportunity to punish him?
Duan Zhanlong breathed a long sigh of relief. Such a simple case was not difficult and did not constitute a danger.
He landed safely!
"My lord, I obey your order!" Duan Zhanlong bowed and said.
The prince remained silent, and the huge formation began to move at this time.
The cranes crowed in unison, all beasts galloped, and the mighty team changed direction.
"Show off!" the prince gave the order, and the huge team began to evacuate Tianxing City and left in a mighty manner.
Is he leaving now?
Duan Zhanlong was a little unbelievable. From the beginning to the end, the prince never even missed the meeting, let alone the slightest bit angry. He just asked him to start handling the case.
The process went smoothly and he didn't even believe it!
After the huge team left, the Demon Eye Star Emperor still stayed where he was. He stepped forward to help the bowed City Lord Duan up: "The prince has left. Sir Duan, please get up."
City Lord Duan was slightly puzzled as to why the Demon Eye Star Emperor did not follow the Crown Prince, but stayed behind.
"My Lord Star Emperor, I will find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to His Highness the Crown Prince." City Lord Duan said cautiously.
The Demon Eye Star Emperor said: "The prince already knows the truth. I want you to check it out. I just want you to go through a process."
Too!
The prince had investigated such a simple case all night long. The truth was already known, so why should we investigate further?
"I made an oversight!"
"You did make an oversight!"
As soon as these words came out, City Lord Duan was so frightened that his legs trembled. Could it be that the matter was not over yet?
"I... I trusted Qian Yunwei too much, which caused such a disaster. If the crown prince decrees punishment, I have nothing to say." City Lord Duan felt bitter in his heart. What should come will still come, and he can't run away.
This is because the prince's power is unpredictable, and no one knows what he is thinking.
"You are wrong!" said the Demon Eye Star Emperor: "The prince did not blame you for this at all! You are the city lord, so you may not be able to care about the internal affairs of the police palace."
ah?
City Lord Duan doesn’t understand, so what did he miss?
