Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 347; Everyone insists on their own opinions

There was no court meeting the next day, so Emperor Zhaowu got up half an hour later than usual.

When Gao Fu was waiting for him to dress, he reported in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Commander Jing Zhaoyin and Commander Zhao of the Military and Horse Division arrived outside the Imperial Study Room early in the morning and are waiting to see you."

Emperor Zhaowu frowned slightly, and after he was fully dressed, he said, "Do you know why?"

"The old slave asked someone to ask, but there was no response."

After a while, Emperor Zhaowu walked out of Longshou Palace. He did not go to Fengqi Palace to rest because he was too late to deal with the memorial yesterday.

"Why are you two dears here so early? I heard you want to see me for something? Come in."

Emperor Zhaowu saw Jing Zhao and Yin from a distance and greeted them with a warm smile.

The two of them quickly saluted and said hello.

Then he followed Emperor Zhaowu into the imperial study.

"Tell me, what brings you here so early in the morning to see me?"

The two looked at each other, and it was Commander Zhao who stood up first and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, a patrol team leader under my command was passing by Qingshi Alley last night when he heard from the people that there were villains committing murder in the alley."

"They rushed to the scene immediately. Before entering the alley, they heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and then they saw multiple men in black running away."

"The team leader led some people to pursue the pursuit but failed, and turned back to Qingshi Lane."

Then there were some findings at that time and the team leader reported to him, and he invited Jing Zhaoyin to go to the scene with him.

He paused for a moment when he said this, and Jing Zhaoyin stood up next to him and saluted with his hands in hand.

"When I arrived, I discovered that there were now seven corpses."

He also described what the crime looked like at that time.

Emperor Zhaowu, who was at the head, was a little puzzled. If a murder occurs, you can just investigate it yourself. Do you have to go to the palace to report to him early in the morning? And he reported it in such detail?

He was about to interrupt, but then he thought of something and his eyes darkened.

He still has a certain understanding of Jing Zhaoyin and Commander Zhao.

Both of these two people have pretty good work skills. It is absolutely impossible for them to come together so solemnly and early in the morning because of an ordinary murder case.

He immediately listened carefully.

"After my visit and investigation at the crime scene, it was found that two of the deceased were a pair of masters and servants. They should have traveled in a car and were robbed and killed."

"Among the murdered masters and servants, the master's name was Zhao Sanshun. His eldest brother was the steward of Prince Qi's palace."

Emperor Zhaowu narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to have some new guesses.

Sure enough, the next moment I heard Jing Zhaoyin continue: "The other five corpses are all dressed in night clothes. After judgment, they should be killers. The five people are not one group, but divided into two."

"Then the squad leader of the Military and Horse Division picked up two waist tags at the scene."

As he said that, he took out two waist cards from his arms. Gao Fu quickly stepped forward to take them. Just taking a look at them made his heart skip a beat.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly sent the waist badge to Emperor Zhaowu's desk.

Emperor Zhaowu lowered his eyes and looked at the two waist badges, recognizing where they came from at a glance.

I thought to myself, no wonder Jing Zhaoyin and Commander Zhao came to see him early in the morning. They couldn't handle the matter of feelings.

The King of Qi's men went out and were robbed and killed. It's not clear who was responsible for the attack, the Prince or the King of Chu. However, the two men also attacked each other, causing casualties. Because the Soldiers and Horses Division suddenly arrived, they didn't have time to take care of them. Take the corpse.

Well, all three sons were involved in it at once. One prince and two princes, it is strange that these two people in front of them would be like this.

"Have you investigated and found out who killed Zhao Sanshun first?"

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head and apologized; "I didn't know that the on-site inspection did not find anything else at that time. I didn't have time to investigate later."

In this regard, Emperor Zhaowu understood his thoughts very well. Regarding his three sons, Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to investigate further.

So I came to him early in the morning to report, actually just to see what he meant.

If he says he wants to check, then check.

"Go and tell the prince, King Qi, King Chu to come over."

Gao Fu retreated.

The three of them seemed to have known for a long time that something like this would happen today, so they all made preparations early. After hearing the message, they rushed to the imperial study room without stopping.

The prince arrived first. As soon as he entered the door, before he had time to salute, he heard a low scolding from Emperor Zhaowu.

"Kneel down."

Facing the scolding from his old father and the emperor, the prince did not dare to resist at all and knelt down honestly.

The King of Chu came soon after. He was treated like a prince and knelt down as soon as he entered.

The last person to arrive was King Qi. As soon as Emperor Zhaowu finished scolding him, King Qi knelt down and immediately said, "Please, father, make the decision for your son."

"Last night, the younger brother of the housekeeper of Erchen's house was helping the two of them go out to do something. He was attacked and killed in Qingshi Lane. Erchen heard that the prince and the King of Chu's people were found now."

He opened up the matter directly as soon as he opened his mouth, without any intention of covering it up.

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince quickly raised his hands and said, "I know that I am guilty. I did send people there, but they were not the ones who attacked and killed King Qi. I just heard that King Chu wanted to attack King Qi and arranged for people to go there." It was a pity that it was too late to stop it.”

"Hmph, why are you so late? It's obviously too late to evacuate."

When the King of Chu heard that the prince wanted to blame him, he immediately understood that if he didn't speak up, the King of Qi would probably suspect that he had taken the money, and his father would also have some thoughts about him. .

He hated knowing that his sons would fight in the court if his father did not return, but he absolutely did not want to see a direct conflict in private.

"Father, I also arranged for people to go there. However, when Erchen's people arrived, the people in the carriage were already dead. A group of men in black were carrying something from the car. Erchen's people showed up to stop them. That’s when the fight came together.”

"That pair of master and servant were not killed by the servants."

Emperor Zhaowu, who was above, glanced back and forth at the Crown Prince and King Chu. It was obvious that these two men had sent people to do this, and King Qi was the victim.

But now the two sons insist on their own opinions, saying that they did not kill the person first. At this time, he is also a little confused, not knowing who to believe.

"King Chu, you just said you saw someone carrying something? What was it?"

"My son, I don't know."

King Chu shook his head directly.

Regarding the purchase of shares, the three brothers had a tacit understanding and did not intend to let their father know.

And what happened yesterday, King Qi may not know who took the money, but he knows it very well.

King Qi was the victim, and the prince was the beneficiary. But he was just accompanying him, but after hearing what the prince said just now, he wanted to put the blame on him.

If the King of Qi who was making money secretly bought shares was revealed at this time, everyone would have to keep silent, and King Qi would still hate him. If the two of them join forces today, he has no chance of winning.

Therefore, the only person he has to deal with now is the prince, so King Qi will let him go for now.
