Canglan Empress

Chapter 402
There was silence in the royal study for a while.

Emperor Tiande picked up the teacup, drank several sips in a row, put down the teacup, and said in a serious tone: "It happened so coincidentally, I have been thinking about it all day today, and I always feel that this matter has a certain taste of conspiracy .”

Smell of conspiracy?
Xuanyin raised her lips, worthy of being an emperor, not only her senses were sharp, but her statement was also full of imperial style.

"I have the guts to ask you what happened."

Emperor Tiande's face was full of fatigue, obviously he didn't want to speak very much, so he raised his hand to signal: "Lu Ping, tell me."

"Yes." Lu Ping bent down, responded respectfully, and then turned his head to look at Xuanyin, "To put it simply, Mo Xiao, the son of the Mo family, and Yin Zhuo, the son of the Yin family, were jealous in the brothel over a woman who was unknown and unknown , and then there was a conflict, and on impulse, Mo Xiao stabbed Yin Shizi to death with a dagger."

Xuanyin nodded: "Sounds really simple, except that the unknown woman is a bit suspicious."

After a pause, "According to normal thinking, since the woman is not a woman in the brothel, and she disappeared after the incident, can the brothel owner be arrested for interrogation? After all, she is directly responsible for this matter."

"The general is right." Lu Ping said, "The imperial guards did interrogate the bustard and the head of the building, but in the end they still didn't find out the identity of the woman, but the details of Xiuyun Tower were exposed."

"The details of Xiuyun Tower?" Xuanyin frowned slightly, looking at Lu Ping in surprise.

"Yes." Lu Ping paused for a moment, his eyes flicked over Xu Wang's gloomy face, and then he quickly lowered his head, "Yongjing's largest brothel, the boss behind it is actually a first-rank official in the court, and he is also a relative of the emperor. .”

Xuanyin frowned: "A high-ranking member of the court is going to open a brothel? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Ping shook his head: "This matter is absolutely true, there is no joke at all."

Emperor Tiande looked at Xuanyin silently, seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, she looked completely shocked and surprised, and almost believed that she really didn't know about this matter.

However, he didn't forget that Yaohua was so realistic when he acted in front of him.

Two natural dramatists...

"Xuanyin, do you still think this incident is just an ordinary murder case?" Emperor Tiande sneered, "I have every reason to suspect that this incident was manipulated by someone behind the scenes, and the purpose was to draw out the background of Xiuyun Tower."

If it was someone else who died in Xiuyun Tower, with the power of Xiuyun Tower, this matter must be turned into a minor event in the end.

But Yin Zhuo has a high status and is the queen mother's favorite nephew.

His death will definitely set off a storm.

Once the empress dowager and the emperor were angry, this matter had to be investigated and found out. For the imperial guards, it was a piece of cake to find out the forces behind Xiuyun Tower.

It is not a coincidence that the incident happened, and there is no problem with the confession obtained through interrogation, but after thinking about it, there are still many doubts.

The most crucial point is - under normal circumstances, let alone just for a woman, even if Yin Zhuo robbed Mo Xiao's wife and concubine, he would not have the guts to kill Yin Zhuo.

But he just did it last night, was it because he was drunk and emboldened?

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed somewhat suspicious." Xuanyin smiled lightly, "But I feel that whether someone is deliberately manipulating behind the scenes can be found out slowly, and this is not the most important thing right now."
