Shu Blossoms

Chapter 114 Interrogation Deadlock
The man in black helped the old man in white into the house. Although he was still a little puzzled, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The hot soup is simmering on the small red clay stove in the house, and the house is a little more dense.

The old man in white sat down beside him, and the man in black quickly served him a bowl of hot soup, "My lord, warm yourself up."

The old man took a sip with his hands in his hands, pondered for a moment and asked the man in black, "How long has Xun Ji been gone? Has there been any news recently?"

"The news came the day before yesterday, saying that he had arrived in Xue County, Lu County five days ago, and there is no news after that!"

The man in black knelt aside and replied.

"Maybe something went wrong?" The old man guessed, "I regret letting Yuan Er send people to follow the escort, but they all fell on that little foreign slave."

"It's just that if we send our people, they will be easily targeted in case something happens. This is also helpless."

The man in black comforted him, "There are still frequent wars in Yanzhou now, the road may be difficult, and there may be delays, just wait a little longer!"

The old man shook his head, "I can't wait any longer, let's leave it to Yuan Er. If Yuan Er says something that shouldn't be said, send someone to send him off. As for Xun Ji, if there is no news in a few days, his mother will be brought here." Take care, don't let him have worries."

The man in black trembled slightly when he heard the words, and lowered his head in response.

Master Yuan Er was brought into Jingzhao Mansion overnight, where Ting Wei and Du Guan Shang Shu had already been waiting here.

Li Min, on the other hand, greeted Ting Wei and Du Guan Shang Shu, and then sat down at the head of the two.

Tingwei patted 'Xingmu' and said to the kneeling master Yuan Er: "Yuan Jing, seeing that the three of us are trying this case together, you must know your majesty's attitude. Zang Zhinv hopes that you will explain clearly, so that you will not suffer from flesh and blood!"

Master Yuan Er stuck his neck and shouted, "Someone framed me for this matter. I don't know why those immature girls appear in my village."

"Then you don't know about the cellar case of Luoxia Temple?"

Master Yuan Er turned his head and stopped answering.

Tingwei and the capital officer looked at each other and nodded to Jingzhaofu Yin.

Jing Zhaofu Yin waved his hand, "Bring it up"

The trio of Tingwei interrogated them all night, and they went to Qianjin Palace to report to Emperor Zhou. Gao Han took them into the apse of Xianyang Palace.

"How? Can Yuan Jing confess?"

Emperor Zhou put down the pen in his hand, looked at the three of them and asked in a deep voice.

Ting Wei shook his head and bowed his head to report: "Your Majesty, Yuan Jing only confessed that he sent people to kidnap Damselfly, Zhi Xuan and the other five people, just because they had a personal grudge with Princess Wei before, and retaliated because of resentment."

"Personal grievances? The princess is just a child, what personal grievances can I have with him?"

Seeing this, Yin Limin of Jingzhao Mansion stepped forward and replied: "I know this matter, Yuan Jing once wanted to embarrass an embroidered lady, it just so happens that this embroidered lady and the princess are old acquaintances, and the heart of the princess Bodhisattva has conflicts with Yuan Jing. Later, Yuan Jing took the initiative to admit that it was a misunderstanding, and the matter was exposed. Chen Guan Yuan Jing had resentment in his heart and sent someone to remind the princess."

Emperor Zhou was surprised when he heard the words: "It's just because of Xiuniang that there is such a big hatred and this big situation is set up? Do you believe it?"

The three Tingwei shook their heads, obviously this excuse was a bit ridiculous.

Then he heard Emperor Zhou taunting him: "I have heard for a long time that Concubine Yuan is an arrogant and domineering uncle. He is an old scoundrel in Jiankang City. I have seen it today!"

"I always feel that Yuan Jing is capable of bullying men and women, but he may not have the guts to do such a big thing alone. There must be someone bigger behind it. You continue to interrogate, how many people have been kidnapped over the years? Where have all the innocent children been sent? Who is behind him, we must investigate clearly! If necessary, you can use torture without any worries!"

Ting Wei and the other three took orders to go, and Zhou Emperor stopped them again, "Prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, you go to the Zheng Mansion, maybe there is someone from the Eldest Princess who can help you. Then speak for me and the Eldest Princess, Zheng Manor I have to endure another two days."

The three Tingwei were overjoyed when they heard the words, and thanked Emperor Zhou.

As soon as they came out of the back hall of Xianyang Palace, they heard someone shouting in front of them: "Great victory! Surprise victory outside the city!"

"This is really good news!"

Ting Wei smiled and looked at Du Guan Shang Shu and Jing Zhao Fu Yin, and the other two nodded in unison, "Yes!"

The three of them straightened up and went out of the palace to continue their work, while Emperor Zhou also heard the movement outside, and hurriedly cleaned up his yellow robes and went up to court.

After a sleepless night, today's good result finally came.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, our army raided Xie's rebellion last night, beheaded more than ten thousand rebels, and beheaded the fugitive rebel Duan Shao under his horse!"

The messenger soldier knelt in the middle of the hall and reported the battle with excitement.

"it is good!"

Emperor Zhou slapped the bed excitedly, stood up and praised, "Great victory in the first battle, ruthlessly killing the rebellious arrogance."

The important ministers shouted together, "The Great Zhou has no end in sight!"

The smile on Emperor Zhou's face was even wider, and he asked the messenger soldier, "Who led the raid this time? After the battle, I will reward you heavily!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this battle is led by General Wei Lie Han Shiying to attack!"

Emperor Zhou's expression softened slightly, and he said in a loud voice: "So it's the second son of the Han family. I heard that Erlang of the Han family is resourceful and thought he was a good military advisor. I didn't expect that he was as brave as his father and brother! Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs!"

The important ministers below did not see the sudden change of Emperor Zhou, and they all praised Han Daoyuan for his good tutor, and everyone was outstanding.

"Such a good son, I want to use them again." Emperor Zhou pondered for a moment, looked at the important officials below and asked: "I remember that Erlang of the Han family is not very old, that is, he is fifteen or sixteen years old. If he wants to take on important responsibilities, he still needs a lot of money." Grind."

"Treason often sends a small group of rebels to harass the people, so Han Shiying led a pair of cavalry to wipe out this group of rebels to protect the people!"

The ministers didn't know why Emperor Zhou made such a strange appointment for a while, now Wang Can and Yue Hua are not here, and no one can comment on the dispatch of the generals, so the court was silent for a while.

When Emperor Zhou's imperial edict was delivered to the Messenger Soldier, the Messenger Soldier reacted and quickly took the order.

After the messenger soldiers left, the court continued, and the governor of Jingzhao also arrived outside the gate of Zheng's mansion.

Because Yue Qi led people to guard the Yuan Mansion, at this time the chief general of the imperial guards outside the Zheng Mansion was a school lieutenant. Hearing that Yin Limin of the Jingzhao Mansion came to see the eldest princess according to His Majesty's orders, he did not dare to stop him, so he let him in.

"I pay homage to the Eldest Princess!"

The eldest princess waved him to get up, and asked anxiously: "What is the reason for Jingzhao Mansion Yin to come here? But the case has progressed?"

The governor of Jingzhao gave a general account of the interrogation last night, and said: "Your Majesty pointed out that there may be someone in the eldest princess's mansion who can assist me in the trial. I don't know who the eldest princess is?"

The eldest princess sighed, "There is one person, but she can't testify in court, so I'm afraid she can't help you!"

Li Min was a little disappointed when he heard the words, thought for a while and said: "I wonder if the eldest princess can let me see this person!"

"Forget it, you come with me!"

Li Min followed the eldest princess into the west courtyard, but was left in the courtyard by the eldest princess.

"Yuan Wang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture is now hearing this case with Tingwei and Duguan Shangshu. He wants to see your mother!"

The eldest princess glanced at Mrs. Yuan, who still had no sign of waking up, and whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, and couldn't help sighing.

"Eldest princess, please come in!"

Yuan Wang was feeding medicine to his mother, but now he drank less and dripped more.

He knew that his mother was still obsessed with it, and he was afraid that it was his sister who was still missing. Now he could only know the whereabouts of his sister by prying open Master Yuan Er's mouth.
