Tibetan beads

Chapter 267 Go to Prison
"Your Majesty!" Duan Wang bowed down deeply, "It's all a misunderstanding. I really don't know what happened, and I don't know this Master Xue. I beg you to investigate clearly."

I was caught off guard today, Wang Duan knew that he didn't have any evidence at hand, and his refutation was extremely pale, so for the present plan, he could only postpone the matter until he tried to reverse the case.

Thinking of this, his heart sank.Even if he can be exonerated afterwards, the emperor is already wary of him, and he is afraid that he will be constantly monitored in the future, and the things he wants to plan will become more difficult.But I can't take care of so much right now, let's close this first.

The emperor had a sullen face: "What do you think?"

The courtiers look at me and I look at you. When it comes to the battle for the throne, they dare not express their opinions at will.

In the end, an official came out and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, and further investigation is needed before we can be convicted."

This remark hit everyone's heart, so they expressed their opinions one after another: "What Master Zhu said is true, and the minister seconded it."

The emperor nodded and ordered: "Take the assassin into custody and hand it over to Dali Temple. This case will be heard by the three divisions and report directly to me."

The third official took the order, Dali Temple Minister hesitated for a while, and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, is His Royal Highness Prince Duan in custody?"

The emperor glanced coldly, and snorted: "Go back to the palace!"

The Minister of Dali Temple understood what he meant, and ordered the guards: "Please go to the Heavenly Prison, His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"

"Yes."

Until then, Xu Yin let out a breath.

Well, King Duan's wolfish ambitions have been exposed, the first step is considered a success, and the next step is to see if the dark forces in the Duke Zhao's mansion can bite him to death.

Princess Changning lost her mind, tugged at her sleeve, and murmured, "Uncle Huang... Did Uncle Huang really do this?"

In her heart, Duan Wang is a good uncle.He is amiable and generous, and greets everyone with a smile every time they meet. Sometimes he will help intercede when he gets into trouble, and he never refuses to ask for something.

Xu Yin thought of her previous life being sent by King Duan to get married and died young in a foreign country. She couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Princess, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart. What kind of person is King Duan, wait for the third division to find out." Just know."

Princess Changning nodded, seeing the crown prince and Yanling coming out, she hurriedly followed.

"Brother Emperor!"

The prince waved to her: "Let's go back and talk about it."

Then he turned to Yanling and asked, "Are you okay?"

Yan Ling nodded, and said gratefully: "Your Highness has defended you in every possible way today, and I am very grateful to you."

The prince patted him on the shoulder, and said proudly: "My brother, why are you talking about this? You have helped so much before, and I remember it in my heart!"

Yan Ling smiled and thought to herself, in view of today's love, if there is a need in the future, she will definitely repay her.

"I scared you today, go back and rest." The prince comforted in a gentle voice, "This matter will pass soon, and the emperor will not restrain you anymore."

Yan Ling nodded, and bowed to him obediently: "The minister will leave now."

"go Go."

Seeing him being supported by Yan Ji to leave, the crown prince couldn't help but sighed, and said to Princess Changning: "Let's go, we will also go back to the palace."

Princess Changning agreed, and after saying goodbye to Xu Yin, she left in the prince's four carriage.

Xiao Man came over and asked, "Miss, shall we come back too?"

Xu Yin withdrew his gaze: "Go back."

This Dragon Boat Festival has been like this, and the dragon boat race is also anticlimactic, so let it go.

People in the capital were panicked, and even ordinary people could smell something extraordinary.

A well-informed old man, recalling the chaos in the green forest decades ago, couldn't help but sigh: "The world is not peaceful..."

Xu Yin returned to the mansion, washed and changed clothes, as usual.

When she changed into her homely clothes and was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, someone knocked on the window.

Before she could respond, the window was pushed open, Yan Ling rolled in and said, "I'm so hot, let's have a cup of tea!"

While pouring tea, Xiaoman complained: "Second Master Yan, men and women are different anyway, so you can't pay attention when you come in? What if my lady is changing clothes?"

Yan Ling froze for a moment, then blushed and coughed lightly: "Be careful next time."

Xiao Man didn't say any more, after serving him tea, he went outside to guard.

Xu Yin ignored these trivial matters and asked him: "How is it?"

Yan Ling sat down opposite her, Gulu Gulu poured a cup of tea first, and then said: "Prince Duan has entered the sky prison, but the minister of Dali Temple has an ambiguous attitude, we suspect that he may be an accomplice."

King Duan hides deeply. On the surface, he is just a idle king. At that time, he recruited a group of officials from the court through the poetry meeting.Dali Temple Minister was not among them, and they hadn't found out about this news before.

"Maybe Zhang Huaide made friends with him." Xu Yin said, "Your Majesty has neglected state affairs these years, Zhang Huaide has a lot of power in his hands, and the minister of Dali Temple may have voted for him."

Yan Ling felt troublesome: "This is a bit troublesome. The Ministry of Criminal Justice belongs to us. I thought that as long as Dali Temple didn't favor King Duan, it could directly press him to death. Now things are not easy to handle."

Xue Ru is a member of King Duan, this point cannot be washed away, the court has its own spies, and there are always clues in the careful investigation.But it is true that Xue Ru was kicked out of Duan Wang's mansion one step earlier, it depends on where the judges lead.

If Dali Temple is determined to obstruct it, it will be difficult to complete the iron case.

A thought came to Xu Yin's mind, and he said, "Don't worry, let's see the development of the situation first. If it is really sure that it is related to Zhang Huaide, we can think of another way."

Yan Ling nodded, discussed some things with her, and did not leave until late at night.

……

Heaven Prison.

King Duan hadn't been convicted yet, so the jailers didn't dare to be negligent, and the single cell he lived in was very clean.

When the Minister of Dali Temple came, King Duan was eating.A bowl of rice and two side dishes, although not bad, are ordinary, and he doesn't dislike it even though he is used to delicacies from mountains and seas.

This made Dali Siqing heave a sigh of relief.I'm afraid that King Duan will panic first, if that happens, he won't be able to use his strength.

"My lord." He bowed and saluted, "You have suffered, and there are many people staring at you right now, so I can't do much."

Duan Wang hummed, calmly finished the last bit of rice, and put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Dali Siqing personally went forward to pour tea and waited for him to rinse his mouth.

Duan Wang slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and asked, "Where's Xue Ru?"

"Keep it in the torture room." Dali Temple Minister replied, "I asked people to guard it all the time, so as not to silence people."

Duan Wang shook his head: "That's not the case, at this point, Xue Ru's death is not good for them."

Dali Temple Minister obediently accepted the teaching: "Yes."

Duan Wang paused for a moment, with doubts on his face: "Have you asked clearly? How did Xue Ru survive?"

Dali Siqing nodded: "I have asked. She committed a crime before, and she was afraid that she would have to die as an apology, so she swallowed the Huxin Pill first, and then stuck the dagger in a crooked manner. This is how she escaped from the eyes and ears of the mansion."

Duan Wang sneered: "She has been with this king for many years, but she hasn't learned from others, but she is first-rate in playing tricks."

Dali Siqing accompanied him with a smile.

Duan Wang thought for a while: "Is it convenient for this king to see her?"
