"No matter what, the dead should be buried in peace and reincarnated as soon as possible. It is really too much for him to dig up these dead people and recreate the karma of murder."
Prince Heng rarely lost his usual playful smile. He spoke seriously to Prince Mo Feng and Prince Rui, both of whom expressed approval.
"What?! Lost the body... I really have nothing to say. Aiqing, can't you even solve this kind of thing?"
To be honest, when Lin Chong heard that the body was missing in Dali Temple, his first reaction was to go find Guan Ying and ask, maybe it was this naughty child who had been hiding it.
But since Ling Yiqu had a very anxious expression on his face, Lin Chong was too embarrassed to say this.
But he was really surprised. If it was really such a simple matter, Ling Yiqu wouldn't have come to the palace so late to find him. Intuiting that this might be another troublesome matter, Lin Chong couldn't help but rub his temples.
Sure enough, when Lin Chong asked, Ling Yiqu poured out the whole story like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube: "Back to Your Majesty, it's like this. It turns out that this body was thrown away a few days ago. At that time, ahem. You also know that everyone was busy dealing with those things at that time.
The robbery case of robbing homes and houses, and the matter of dead people will be put aside for a while."
Lin Chong frowned: "You are not allowed to make excuses, so why did you pay attention to this dead person later? Lost the body again?"
Ling Yiqu's expression was a little subtle: "More than that, not only were the corpses lost, but some people said they had seen those corpses outside."
"Has anyone seen it? It's easy to tell. Just ask where you can find someone and take it back as soon as possible." Lin Chong raised his eyebrows.
Ling Yiqu shook his head: "What he saw was a standing one, not a lying one. By the time others rushed over, there was nothing there. But the man insisted that he saw it."
Lin Chong's expression seemed to have become very subtle: "So you mean, those corpses you threw away, they came back to life on their own? If you look at it this way, maybe they either threw it away, or they just lifted the white cloth and left.
Out."
Ling Yiqu became so nervous that he even forgot about his fan: "This is true, Your Majesty. I know you don't believe such ridiculous things. I didn't believe it either, but more and more people claim to have seen those corpses, and even
one day……"
"You saw it yourself, right?" Lin Chong could safely guess what he was going to say next.
Ling Yiqu nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, this is not right. The body that was thrown away in Dali Temple was seen by someone from Dali Temple. I think this is a bit strange."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something: "Your Majesty, do you believe what I said?"
Lin Chongxin said that I am a good materialistic young man who traveled through time in the 21st century. Why shouldn't he believe it? It's hard to tell whose story is more sensational.
Thinking of this, Lin Chong was suddenly a little worried about his future. He glanced at Ling Yiqu: "Ahem, that Ling Aiqing, I want to ask you something. For example, if there is a person who has the audacity to pretend to be me as the emperor, and then I find out.
Well, what crime should this person be sentenced to?"
Ling Yiqu frowned in shock: "What? Impersonated His Majesty? That is of course a capital crime. It is gross disrespect and the crime of deceiving the emperor. The circumstances are so egregious that he should be executed by quartering his body."
Lin Chong laughed twice: "What if the plot is not so bad? What if this person had no choice at the time? What if he was a pretty good emperor? Is it possible to get a lighter sentence?"
Ling Yiqu nodded seriously: "If so, maybe we can be dealt with lightly."
Lin Chong just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ling Yiqu continue: "It should be possible to leave a whole body for this person."
Lin Chong:...Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.
Seeing that the emperor still looked worried, Ling Yiqu volunteered to help his majesty solve the problem: "Your majesty, please rest assured, if there is such a rebellious minister and traitor who dares to do such a treasonous thing, I will personally catch him and punish him severely."
One sentence was so categorical that, instead of resolving the knot in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be even more sad.
"If such a day comes, I'd better think of a solution on my own and won't bother my beloved."
Ling Yiqu was just about to say that this was what Dali Temple should do and that it was his duty. The emperor had already put away his sad expression just now, and it seemed that he was just asking casually and making an analogy: "Okay, I was just kidding, love.
Don't take it to heart, sir. Let's talk about the corpse lost in Dali Temple. What did you just say?"
Ling Yiqu regretted that he had lost the great opportunity to express his loyalty to His Majesty. He recalled the topic just now: "I didn't believe what I just said. But once I witnessed it with my own eyes, I had to believe it.
"
Lin Chong lazily held up his chin and yawned: "Go on, what did you see? Please be more detailed."
Ling Yiqu suspected that the emperor was listening to his words as a bedtime story, but he did not dare to question anything, so he could only continue to tell the bedtime story, no, the development of the case.
"Probably the day before yesterday, I was handling government affairs in Dali Temple after leaving the court. At that time, the murders and robberies that were raging in the capital had come to an end, so I focused on the matter of missing corpses."
"It was already dark when I came out of Dali Temple that day, but because I had walked many times on the way back to my hometown, I didn't pay much attention. But when I reached a corner, there was suddenly a person standing straight in front of the sedan. I thought
If someone with grievances blocks the road and complains, let Guan Qu go down and have a look."
Lin Chong listened with great interest: "Then what? Did he see it?"
"Exactly, Guan Qu ran back with a pale face and told me that what was stopping us was a corpse, and that it was a corpse that I and I had personally seen."
"But what does he want you to bring to me?" Lin Chong asked casually.
Ling Yiqu's expression was startled: "Holy Mingjian, that's exactly what happened. The dead body fell to the ground again when the two of us went down to check. It was indeed lifeless. I had the body taken back to Dali Temple, but on his body
But I found this." Ling Yiqu said as he took out a letter and presented it.
Lin Chong took the letter and read it at a glance. He had long discovered that when ancient people wrote letters, especially to important people, most of what they said was nonsense and difficult to understand. Lin Chong could probably tell that those words were all praise and greetings for him.
.
After reading the letter, Lin Chong's expression was very complicated. He really didn't know how to face some people, such as the person who wrote to him. This was not the first time he saw this handwriting, but this time he saw it was different from the last time he saw it.
