After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

Chapter 532 Prove your innocence
Master Fu Yin said: "I'm sorry, Prime Minister, all the officials are suspected."

Duke Yan suddenly smiled: "Prime Minister Cai has found a son-in-law who can ride a dragon, so naturally he has to protect his son-in-law. We can understand this kind of mentality. But from another perspective, Master Fu specifically asked for leave on the day of the murder. Is it just a way to deceive others? In my opinion, Mr. Fu is the most suspicious."

Prime Minister Cai also smiled: "As we all know, Yan Guogong's youngest daughter was annulled by Prince Chi. Yan Guogong envied me for having a good son-in-law. It is understandable to say so."

Duke Yan laughed loudly.

It is most important to speak in a measured way at this moment.

It must not only make the person named Cai depressed, but also must not offend Prince Chi. In this way, it will not offend the eldest princess and the emperor.

After pondering, he said with a smile: "My daughter is still young, so there is no rush to get married. Besides, my daughter and Prince Chi have been in a relationship for many years, and it is normal for them to be separated and reunited. As long as my daughter does not do anything to get married, I, as a father, will be very happy." ”

The implication is that the prime minister's daughter is not young and is anxious to get married.

It also implies that the prime minister's daughter fell in love with Fu Ciyi, a married man, and forced the husband and wife to divorce. As a father, the prime minister supported his daughter and asked for the imperial edict without shame.

It's really shameless.

Prime Minister Cai wanted to get angry, but he couldn't.

Everything Yan Guogong said was talking about his own daughter, but anyone with ears could tell that every word was mocking his Cai family.

Turning his eyes and seeing Fu Ciyi approaching, Prime Minister Cai walked over with a smile: "Master Fu, you'd better tell Master Fu Yin what you did on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

At this time, the eunuch sang: "The emperor has arrived, your highnesses have arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright yellow figure appeared at the door, followed by several princes.

The ministers present all greeted him one after another: "I've met the emperor and all your highnesses."

The emperor said: "Pingshen."

After the emperor sat down on the throne, he looked at several ministers of Jingzhao Mansion: "What's going on?"

Lord Fu Yin handed over his hand: "I am just waiting to hear the reason why Lord Fu asked for leave on the seventh day of the lunar month."

The emperor straightened his dragon robe and moved his turbid eyes to Fu Ciyi: "Fu Aiqing, please tell me."

Fu Ciyi handed over his hands and said frankly: "I have a deep love for my wife, and it is difficult to accept our divorce. On the seventh day of the lunar month, I remembered that my wife had said that she wanted to plant fruit trees in the house, and I felt ashamed. I still don't know what kind of fruit she likes to eat. Thinking of her, she often peeled them off. I gave him oranges to eat, so he went to Beishi to buy two orange trees and planted them in the courtyard. He was busy all day long. As the merchants in Beishi can testify, the merchants came to the mansion to give guidance in person. "

As soon as this statement came out, the people present were in an uproar.

The emperor's expression changed a little.

Prime Minister Cai frowned.

Only Yan Guogong's lips raised, but he couldn't suppress them. What Fu Ciyi said is tantamount to confirming the insinuation he just made.

Lu Wenfeng came out and said: "Your Majesty, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I applied for leave on behalf of Mr. Fu. As a fellow countryman, I know that they are deeply affectionate as husband and wife. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Fu was indeed sad. In the past few days, I have asked you for leave many times. I saw Master Fu taking care of the orange trees in the courtyard."

Only then did he suddenly realize why Ciyi had been taking care of the orange tree.

"Go to Bei City and ask." The emperor raised his hand.

Someone immediately took the order and left.

Lord Fu Yin said: "In addition to the Lords of Hanlin, the people coming in and out of the Hanlin Academy are your Lords' entourage. I would like to ask you to recall, but which of your Lord's followers has not returned to the mansion in the past few days?"

A minister said: "Your Majesty Fu Yin is wrong. I serve as the emperor's order, and my duty is to draft and protect the safety of the imperial edict. How can I guard against theft?"

"that is!"

"Instead of guessing here, it's better to go and identify it and see what the corpse looks like. Have we seen it normally?"

After hearing this, Master Fu Yin's face began to look ugly.

Today's move is the emperor's intention.

The emperor said that the imperial edict was stored in the Hanlin Academy. When such a major case occurred, it was natural to investigate them one by one. Every step, whether it is present or not, should be taken once, so he spends his time on this right now.

Suddenly, a hurried chant came in: "Report——" The emperor said solemnly: "What's the matter?"

"A token was found at the crime scene." The visitor presented the token.

The chamberlain brought a tray over and asked the visitor to put the token on it and present it to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at him, and Long's face immediately sank: "What do you have to say?"

The second prince stepped forward in fear: "My father and I don't understand what my father said."

The emperor sneered: "See for yourself."

The second prince glanced at the items on the tray. They were tokens used by his servants.

He immediately handed over his hand and said: "Father, this thing is the token from my son's house. But I have a question, why didn't I find the body when I found it? If I find it now, someone must have framed it!"

The visitor reported: "The token of the Second Prince's Mansion is not big. It fell into the crack of the floor, right where the body lay. Because the color is the same as the floor, it is difficult to find. The most important thing is that the place where the crime occurred is The light is dim."

The Hanlin Academy was responsible for drafting the emperor's confidential edicts, and the place where the drafted confidential edicts were stored had to go up one level. The doors and windows of that building were blocked, and the light was not very bright.

The place where the crime occurred was the darkest place.

The emperor nodded and asked quietly: "You want to know the content of the secret edict?"

The second prince broke out in sweat on his forehead and immediately fell to his knees: "I don't dare!"

It can be said that the identity of each of their princes was given by their father.

Today he is a prince, but tomorrow he may not be.

What's more, decapitation is a light thing.

At this moment, Wu Zuo from Jingzhao Mansion asked to see the emperor.

The emperor allowed him to come forward and speak.

Wuzuo cupped his fists and reported: "When I return to the emperor, there is no clue what the body is wearing, but there is a logo on his insole, which is the logo of the guards in the third prince's residence."

The implication is that the person coming may be the third prince's secret guard.

After hearing this, the third prince immediately knelt down and said, "Father, I have been wronged. It is absolutely impossible for me to send someone to check the edict. Even if you give me the courage and courage, I will not dare."

Seeing his cowardice, the emperor's face darkened again and again.

The second prince and the third prince began to argue, arguing that they were innocent and had been framed by the other party.

The emperor's eyes fell on them, and it became clear that it was his so-called "good sons" who did it.

The prince was smart and powerful, but at the same time he was a treacherous person, so he wanted to gain the power of the prime minister so that he could suppress the prince in the future.

So there were rumors that he did not want to pass the throne to the prince.

Many people want to know who he will pass the throne to, especially his "good sons".

Now we have to find out which of the ministers in the Hanlin Academy stood with a certain prince to figure out his holy will and gave him the key to enter the attic.

At this time, Fu Ciyi asked Zuo: "May I ask if there is anything on the body that can prove the identity?"

Wuzuo shook his head: "The token just now, the insole now, there is nothing else next to it."

Fu Ciyi asked again: "Can you let me go and check it out?"

Wu Zuo looked at Master Fu Yin, and Master Fu Yin looked at the emperor.

The emperor nodded: "That's right."
