After boarding the dragon chair, the wise eyes of the emperor scanned the surrounding area, and then said in a low voice: "Pingshen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone got up together, and some courtiers who had already prepared the memorial began to ask for the memorial one by one.
The morning time passed quickly, and it was almost noon when the official business was finished.
Seeing that the time is almost up, the courtiers are all hungry, just waiting for the emperor to give the order to leave the court, but the emperor closed the memorial in his hand, raised his head and said: "There is some rumor in the palace today, may you have heard of it?" .”
The courtiers who had been secretly thinking about the lunch menu were stunned when they heard this, but they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
They really can't accept this kind of words.
If you say you've heard of it, isn't that clearly saying that you've inquired about the secrets of the harem
If you say you don't know, you will inevitably be suspected of lying. This ordinary lying is lying, and lying to the emperor is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
For a while, the hall was abnormally quiet, and no one made a sound.
In the end, the crown prince who was still the first took a step forward, bowed and said, "What the emperor said, but there are frequent rumors of hauntings in the harem today?"
The prince, mother and concubine are the queens, and even if the prince knows about the affairs in the harem, no one can make a mistake.
He opened this mouth, but it was better than anyone else.
The emperor glanced at the prince, leaned back on the dragon chair, and asked coolly: "What do you think about this matter?"
The prince respectfully said: "I think this is absurd. The theory of ghosts and gods is absolutely absurd. It's just a few little maids who behaved badly in private, contracted some problems, and were given to death by the master. How come it happened for no reason. And die? How did you get involved with ghosts and ghosts? If there are ghosts, it is impossible to haunt the palace. This imperial city is full of dragons, so what kind of ghosts and ghosts dare to approach?"
This remark was so eloquent, the courtiers heard it and thought to themselves, could it be that there is really a problem with the source of the news
Didn't those court ladies die in a strange way, or were given death
The emperor glanced at all the officials, took a full look at everyone's expressions, and said: "Although this matter is pointless, the case of Yuping has not yet been investigated. I will hand over this case to the three divisions for joint trial. But I don't know why, it has not been broken for a long time?"
As soon as this remark came out, Jing Zhaoyin Lin Sheng was the first to jump out in sweat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty forgive me, I have tried my best in this case, but the clues are solid."
"No suspects?"
Lin Sheng was shocked!
Originally wanted to protect Liu Wei's identity, but after hearing what the emperor said, he knew that the emperor must have known about Liu Wei's suspicion, so he didn't dare to cover it up, and said bluntly: "The suspect has been taken into custody, but the evidence is still there."
"If there is a suspect, why is there no evidence? If there is no evidence, how can we be sure that this person is a suspect?"
Lin Sheng only felt that his heart was going up and down, and he was about to faint.
He stumbled and remained tongue-tied for a long time before he said: "Back to the emperor, this suspect was not taken into custody by a humble official, but was brought back by Su Gonggong and Princess Yuehai. This person was not imprisoned in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, but in the Zhenge Gate. In the big prison, the humble officials dare not overstep, and have not called people for interrogation for a long time. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
These words expressed Lin Sheng's helplessness.
Although the emperor ordered the three divisions to interrogate, including the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Jing Zhaoyin, the suspect is now placed at Zhengemen, which is your emperor's territory, and he is still a father-in-law in the palace. Brought by a princess, who dares to interrogate the criminal casually? Aren't you afraid of bringing the emperor's bad luck
All the officials at the scene agreed with it, thinking it was the reason.
From this point of view, Jing Zhaoyin didn't do much wrong, but the man on the dragon chair just snorted, and suddenly said sharply: "Confused!"
As soon as the words came out, Lin Sheng's legs trembled immediately, and he lay on the ground unable to move.
The other courtiers also realized the emperor's anger and bowed one after another, and the prince also spoke, begging the emperor to appease his anger.
The emperor kept a straight face, and his voice was freezing cold: "What is the use of raising you bunch of trash!"
At this moment, everyone knelt down, threw their bodies to the ground, and shouted loudly: "The emperor forgives the crime, and the minister waits to be convicted!"
"Convicted, what crime do you know? The person has already been arrested, no interrogation, just ask, why? My daughter, you let you abuse her like this, she died without knowing why, and there is still justice after death Can't find them all?"
This is too serious!
When it came to profaning the name of the princess, Lin Sheng felt his head froze all of a sudden, his body suddenly tilted to the side, and he passed away completely.
The emperor was so angry that he stunned an official.
This time, the hall is full of excitement.
The emperor didn't seem to expect Lin Sheng to be so timid, he frowned, and finally said: "Take him down, I'm annoyed!"
Soon a little eunuch dragged Lin Sheng down.
Chaoshang became quiet again, but this time, the emperor looked at the crown prince and the seven kings, lingered for a while, and said, "Eunuch Su is a member of the harem, not a courtier, and the princess is his daughter's family. The third secretary does nothing. Look, this case has to be handed over to others. Rong Ting, Rong Su, you two, who is willing to take over?"
The crown prince and the seven kings stood up at the same time, cupped their hands and said, "I wish!"
That's what it means to be both.
The emperor looked at the two of them for a while, and finally said: "Su'er, this case is entrusted to you."
Rong Su immediately knelt down to accept the order!
It's almost over here.
The rumors of the haunted harem were sung by the emperor and the crown prince, and passed away, while the case of Princess Yuping fell into Rong Su's hands.
When he was in court, Li Jun was indignant: "The emperor obviously did this intentionally. He knew that the prince had recently been in frequent contact with the old officials in the court and had made moves, and you and the prince had many branches, which became a block in the way of the prince. The emperor sent you Get away from the prince, clear the way for the prince, let the prince let go, throw you on the case of the harem woman, what is this? I really don’t give you the slightest chance?"
Rong Su knew Li Jun's mood.
Rong Su is also in a bad mood, but it is not a matter of a day or two for his father and emperor to be partial to the prince, and now, he is not the same as before, not only the emperor is relying on him, he is angry in his heart, but after a while, he returns Flatten down.
Rong Su patted Li Jun on the shoulder, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, Yuping is also my king's younger sister, and she should be treated fairly."
While Rong Su was talking, he saw a trembling figure beside the pillar outside the hall, hiding there, poking his head.
Rong Su frowned, and called out, "Master Lin!"
Only then did Lin Sheng come out quickly, and greeted him respectfully.
Rong Su said: "You must have heard the emperor's decree, so let's go now. On the way, explain this case clearly to the king."
Lin Sheng responded quickly, but he was about to add another sentence: "If the prince is eager to see the suspect, this humble minister can guide the prince. Speaking of which, the prince may still have some impressions of the suspect. There is a lot of uproar, the detective who solved the child's disappearance case was finally taken in by the third prince for his own use, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu."
