Yun Yi stood in the palace, looking at Zhang Wanyi's body which was retrieved from the mass grave, with a faint smile on his lips.
Zhang Wanyi died of blood loss due to a cut blood vessel.
Looking at Zhang Wanyi's body, Yun Yi suddenly wanted to cry up to the sky, as if her death was also a relief to him. Go up happy.
"How many people know about this?" Yun Yi asked the trusted guard beside him in a concentrated voice.
"Not much." The guards replied.
"Very good." Yun Yi nodded. "Call everyone here. This king will give you a lot of rewards."
"Yes." The guard did not suspect him, and called over all the colleagues who had found the body of the princess and quietly brought it back to the palace.
"You guys did a good job." Yun Yi praised, "Are you sure no one else knows about this?"
"No." Several guards said firmly. It was a coincidence that they searched the city all night, and they didn't think of going to the mass graves outside the city until early in the morning. How did they know that they found the body of the princess as soon as they went there? A farmer bought a bullock cart, put the body on the bullock cart, and then covered it with firewood, and then transported it into the palace without anyone noticing it.
"You are not allowed to tell anyone where you found Princess Jing. If anyone asks, just say that the body of Princess Jing was found in the palace." Yun Chu said. He took out some silver bills, put them on the table, and pushed them to the guards. "This king has one more thing for you to do."
The guards were naturally happy when they got the silver, and after kneeling and thanking them, they listened attentively.
"You go to Prime Minister Zhang's mansion to report the funeral, and you say that Prince Jing's mansion caught fire last night, and Concubine Jing was killed." Yun Yi got up, smiled slightly, and straightened her clothes. As for him, he should go to the palace and cry.
Yun Yi changed into plain white clothes, got into the carriage and entered the palace.
Zhang Wanyi's death couldn't be in vain, now that he is a widower who has lost both his child and his wife, no matter what, he has to go to the palace and cry for a while, to win some sympathy for himself.
There is also Prince Jing's Mansion who died in Prince Jing's Mansion for no apparent reason. This kind of matter naturally needs to be supervised by the emperor himself.
As for whose head was found, Yun Yi smiled sullenly, then he could only be blamed for being unlucky.
In fact, even Yunyi couldn't be sure who killed Zhang Wanyi. He had a faint feeling that it was Yun Ke, but he didn't feel like it.
There is no reason for Yun Ke to reach out and kill Zhang Wanyi. It would make sense if he sent someone to rescue Zhang Wanyi.
At first, he was still anxious, afraid that Zhang Wanyi and outsiders would reveal some of his secrets, but now it seemed that he didn't need to worry about it. The method of killing Zhang Wanyi was skillful and ruthless, and he struck very quickly, it didn't seem like he had tortured her The person who made her die slowly, since she had never been tortured, had Zhang Wanyi's temper and disposition. If the person who kidnapped her was Yun Ke, she would definitely exchange her secret with him and spare her life.
And the person who killed her seemed to hate her very much.
So from this point alone, Yunyi thinks it cannot be Yunke. But who else, he couldn't say. Maybe Zhang Wanyi offended someone outside.
It really deserves it.
How did Yun Yi know that the reason why Yun Ke didn't make a false appointment with Zhang Wanyi was because Yun Ke was born again, and he already knew the secret of Yun Yi's previous life.
Although he wanted to continue to prove it in this life, the conditions proposed by Zhang Wanyi had already touched his bottom line, so he did not hesitate to get rid of Zhang Wanyi.
When Yun Yi entered the palace in plain clothes and cried to the south study room, he found that Yun Ke and Yun Qing were both there.
Yunyi's crying stagnated for a while, and then continued to cry mournfully.
"What's wrong with this?" Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel his head flutter with the appearance of cloud wings, something must have happened to Prince Jing's Mansion.
I have heard that Princess Jing has gone crazy before, so it is hard to guarantee that it is not rumored that she is going to die now.
Before Emperor Jing could finish his thoughts, he heard Yun Yi kneeling in front of him and crying, "Father, my son is so miserable."
"Speak up if you have something to say." Emperor Jing urged Yun Yi to flatten his body, and then urged.
"Yes." After Yun Yi got up, while wiping away tears, she repeated what she had said beforehand in the palace and others.
"You mean your palace was on fire, and then some thieves went in and killed the concubine?" When Emperor Jing heard it, he really guessed it. It really happened to Concubine Jing, but he didn't expect it to be such a big thing, "You And let’s talk about what happened slowly.”
Yun Yi said what she had made up in advance, and then cried and begged, "I beg my father to order a thorough investigation of this matter! My concubine!"
"Okay, okay." Emperor Jing persuaded, "It's useless to cry now."
He then looked at Yun Ke and Yun Qing, "What do you two think?"
Yun Qing originally wanted to purse his lips to watch the excitement, but saw Yun Ke took a step forward, his face was full of indignation, "That thief is really vicious! How dare he enter Prince Jing's mansion to assassinate Princess Jing to such an extent? It's really unbearable!"
Seeing how indignant the seventh brother was, Yun Qing stepped forward and clasped his fists, not to be outdone, and said, "Yes. Please also ask Father to investigate this matter strictly!"
"Let King Jing and the Ministry of Punishments investigate this matter." Emperor Jing said.
"Father." Yun Ke said immediately, "I also ask my father to hand over this matter to my son and fourth brother to investigate together. Now that my wife has lost his wife and is still in the pain of losing his wife, I ask him to rest more That's right. The person who died was Erchen's sister-in-law. Erchen decided to find out the truth of the matter with the fourth brother, and return the fifth brother to a bright world. As for the fifth brother, he must be mourning too much now. I also ask the father to allow the fifth brother Go home, Ding You, and wait until this period of time has passed before continuing to work for the emperor."
"That's right, father, I'll leave it to the ministers to investigate. The ministers are also in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and they have sufficient manpower." Seeing Yun Ke say this, Yun Qing immediately had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and agreed. Isn't it just letting King Jing go back to Ding You to let him rest? Then wouldn't he be able to separate part of the affairs in his hands
Yun Qing couldn't help but secretly gave Yun Ke a thumbs up, high! Why didn't he think of it just now.
"Okay." Emperor Jing nodded, "I will pass on my will, and I will entrust Prince An Yunke and Ding Wang Yunqing with full power to deal with the murder of Princess Jing. Excellent. The affairs in hand are temporarily handed over to Prince An and Prince Ding for assistance."
Yun Yi panicked when he heard it.
He originally wanted to take advantage of Zhang Wanyi's death to gain some sympathy points and ask for something, but he didn't know that he would have sympathy points after being disturbed by Yun Ke, but Ding You got it! What the hell is this called
Is he really going to divide the things in his hand
That is naturally not allowed, but the emperor has already spoken now, and he can't resist the order, but he can delay it. He just said that his heart aches, he has a headache, and he is in pain everywhere. Anyway, he just doesn’t hand over the affairs in hand. After Ding You’s time has passed, Enke will be over. At that time, he will finish Zhang Wanyi’s funeral. However, it would be nice to go back to the palace and say that he has recovered.
That's it.
So Yunyi complied with a sad face, and was supported by others, seemingly unable to even walk in pain, and then left the South Study Room.
As soon as Yun Yi left, Yun Ke and Yun Qing had another conversation with Emperor Jing before they left together.
After walking outside the corner gate, Yun Qing stopped Yun Ke.
"Seventh brother invited my elder brother to the South Study Room early in the morning. Could it be that he was a prophet and knew that Princess Jing was going to have an accident?" In fact, he was dug out by Yun Ke early in the morning, and when he dragged him to the South Study Room, he felt that something was wrong with Yun Ke.
But he didn't want to wait until Yun Yi came to cry for the funeral.
Could it be that this younger brother had already heard the news of Princess Jing's death in advance.
"How could it be?" Yun Ke said with a relaxed smile, "Brother, I'm not a god, so how can I figure it out. In fact, I called the fourth brother over in the morning because I have something else I want to talk to the fourth brother. How did I know that I would meet the fifth brother?" Something happened at home."
"What are you going to say? You're going to say it in front of Father." Yun Qing asked with a frown.
"The fourth brother has been assisting in the management of the Ministry of Justice, and it was also the fourth brother who discovered that the members of the Xia family escaped from the prison of the Ministry of Justice through the secret passage." Yun Ke said, "I actually want to call my brother to come together today to talk about this matter."
"What did you find?" Yun Qing's spirit shook.
"It's just that I didn't find anything, so I feel strange." Yun Ke said.
"Seventh brother said that, the elder brother would be confused." Yun Qing was confused by Yun Ke's words.
"Fourth Brother's subordinates sent out a lot of people to search, right?" Yun Ke asked.
Yun Qing nodded, "Naturally, I can't wait to release all the people in the capital to find those two grandsons." Whenever he mentioned this, he became angry, and it made him become a good man in the palace. Being a scapegoat for a few days, worrying about it, damn it, he still has the feeling of being a scapegoat for a few days.
Anyway, Yun Qing thought, as long as he knew where those two turtle grandsons were hiding in Xia Tian and was caught by him, no matter what happened, he would beat them up first to relieve their anger.
"Don't hide it from the fourth brother." Yun Ke said, "I also sent a lot of people out to look for the younger brother. Almost all the people that the palace can send out have been released. Now there is no need to hide from the fourth brother. The younger brother not only mobilized An People from the Prince's Mansion, even people from my aunt's side have borrowed a lot."
"These two bastards are too good at hiding." Yun Qing cursed, while secretly thinking, this kid borrowed the help of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.
"Now our brothers are grasshoppers on a rope." Yun Ke lowered his voice and said, "If you can't find the two members of the Xia family, Father will definitely not like it."
"That's true." Yun Qing nodded, then looked at Yun Ke suspiciously, what does the grasshopper on a rope mean
And what he said in the South Study Room just now dragged him to investigate Princess Jing. Is there any inevitable connection between them
"Seventh brother, if you have something to say, you can speak it out." Yun Qing said simply to clear the fog.
