Seeing something abnormal on King Qi's face, Liu Er said to the maid: "Remember, what are the characteristics of that person?"
The maid laughed, "My son, didn't you say it was your friend? How come you don't even know who he is?"
King Qi took out the token of Jingzhao Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "The official is from Jingzhao Mansion. He is looking for a Jiang Yang thief. He learned that he had been on a painting boat, so the official came to check if there is a wireless cable left. Here, you just have to remember for a while, what are the characteristics of this person."
It sounds like a member of the government, Liu Er and the maid were shocked, and their attitude became respectful now.
"Is this Jiangyang thief the one who killed Chunniang?" Liu'er turned pale and said to the maid: "You have to think about it, if you find the murderer, you can avenge Chunniang."
Liu Er tried hard to think about it, but still didn't think of any characteristics, and said dejectedly: "The man is about forty or fifty years old, not very old, with white hair on the sideburns, and a jade finger on his hand. The rest, I can't think of it anymore."
After King Qi returned from the Xisu River, he returned directly to Jingzhao Mansion.
He sat in the study in despair for a long time, only confessing to the people outside. If the prince comes back, ask the prince to go to the study to find him.
Yu Wenhao returned to Jingzhao's Yamen at the end of his life, and learned that King Qi was waiting for him in the study, so he drank a pot of water and went to the study to look for him.
Seeing King Qi's face pale, he walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
King Qi raised his head, even breathing a little hard, "Fifth brother, I went to the painting boat today and picked up a piece from the painting boat, you see."
He trembled with his hands, took out the black iron plate from his arms, put it on the table, and then quickly retracted his hand, as if the iron plate was hot.
Yu Wenhao glanced at it, his expression also changed drastically, and suddenly reached out to look for the lettering. When he saw the three-character, he was shocked.
"This Xuan Tie brand was awarded by the Emperor Taipa when he was in court. The total amount is five yuan." Yu Wenhao looked at King Qi, "Did you find it from the painting boat?"
"Yes, it turns out that Chunniang's maid was ill on the eighth day of the eighth day and didn't go to serve her. She called another maid to go. The maid said that she picked up this iron sign that night."
King Qi looked at Yu Wenhao, dumbfounded, "Fifth Brother, this Xuantie sign is engraved with the word three, this belongs to the emperor."
Yu Wenhao immediately asked: "Who have you seen this brand?"
"No." King Qi shook his head immediately, "Where would I dare to show it to others? I will be back right after I took the sign. I also drew the portrait of the father to the maid. The maid said it looks like it, but I'm not sure. ."
Yu Wenhao angrily scolded, "You are crazy? How can you paint a portrait of the father to show them? Did you get the portrait back?"
"Take it, tear it up." Qi Wang's face turned pale, "Fifth brother, this mysterious iron brand son father is carried with him, but how can father steal the soldier map? He wants the soldier map, just order someone to call someone. Just send it to the palace."
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "It's not the emperor father, but this person can contact the emperor father at any time, and even steal the Xuantie sign that the emperor father carried. He knew that we would go to the painting boat to investigate, so he asked the maid to give us the sign. It is to prevent us from investigating further, and at the same time warn us that he can contact the emperor father, and even attack him. This is a threat.
"But, this brand is the maid..." Wang Qi thought for a while, and suddenly understood, "The maid was bought, no, I'm going to look for her."
"You don't have to go in person, send someone to go, I'm afraid that the people on the boat have been wiped out at this moment." Yu Wenhao looked at him blankly, "This is a game, Lao Qi, you are in trouble. "
Wang Qi fell into a chair, "Oh my God!"
Soon, someone went to the Criminal Ministry to report that a painting boat on the Xisu River was on fire, and the three people on the painting boat failed to escape and were burned to death in the fire.
People from the Criminal Ministry immediately went to the Xisu River to investigate, and someone in the nearby painting boat recognized King Qi, saying that the painting boat caught fire a while after King Qi left.
The boatman who left Qifang from the painting boat also testified that when he left, smoke began to appear in the painting boat.
This case was sent back to Jingzhao Mansion by the Criminal Ministry to handle it.
Because the Ministry of Criminal Affairs first came into contact with the case, Yu Wenhao had no room for favoritism, and could only handle it based on superficial evidence. As long as he was biased, the trouble would be transferred from King Qi to him.
Without warning, the other party seemed to take them all in one go, but they didn't even know who the enemy was.
King Qi was the prince of the dynasty, the son of the emperor, and his status was distinguished. When there was only preliminary confession evidence, he did not need to be detained by criminal detention. He was only temporarily relieved of his post in Jingzhao Mansion and confined to the back of Jingzhao Mansion. For summons at any time.
Wang Qi was deeply frustrated. He wanted to find a murderer for Lu Yuan, but he didn't know that he got him in.
Yu Wenhao reported to the palace and submitted an iron sign.
Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned. This iron medal was always on his body. He didn't know when it was lost.
Yu Wenhao said helplessly: "Father, the old seventh is now being held in Jingzhao's Mansion, but he has no way to defend, let alone confess this iron medal. What do you think is good?"
Emperor Ming Yuan had a pale face, "I have always carried this brand with me, and I can get close to me. There are few people who count them. Who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"My father doesn't know when this brand will be seen, so it's not easy to figure out a person by myself," Yu Wenhao said.
Those who can approach him up close and serve him, in addition to taking care of the daily life of the palace, Mu Ru father-in-law, as well as the concubines and wives, and even sometimes when discussing politics, there will be ministers who can reach him, stretch out his hand to help or pass it thoughtfully Cloak outer garment.
Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a long time without any clue, but he said angrily: "This person is lurking by my side. I am afraid that it will not be a day or two. You must find this person out, otherwise, how can I rest?"
"Old Qi..." Yu Wenhao looked at him.
Yu Wenhao had some ideas in his heart, but he still had to listen to what his father said.
Emperor Ming Yuan frowned, "What else? Continue to investigate and deal with it, and finally find a reason. There are more people on the fourth side of the criminal department. You and the fourth child together, tell him that I want the seventh child. It’s enough to get rid of the crime. The purpose of the person who framed him is to divert his attention. It doesn’t have to be difficult to embarrass the old seventh, so this matter is also easy to handle with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and your Jingzhao Mansion."
Asking for help from King An was also what Yu Wenhao meant, so he felt a little relaxed when he heard the words of Emperor Ming Yuan.
Emperor Ming Yuan paused, and then said, "You tell Lao Qi to be patient. Since he is involved in this matter, he will definitely suffer a bit. If you have a bitter plan on your side, the Department of Criminal Justice can handle things well."
"Yes, my son got it!" Yu Wenhao said.
