Concubine

Chapter 450 Confrontation

The prince nodded happily: "This method is similar to the fairy method, it is really miraculous! No wonder Yang Houye solved the case like a god!"

Song Yun'er giggled, leaned down, and looked down at the inner wall of the coffin. Immediately, she took out a stack of white paper from her bosom, and then took out a small bottle of paste, spread a thin layer on the paper, and let it cool for a while. , After it is half-dried, it adheres to the fingerprints, and the fingerprints are extracted one by one.

Immediately, Song Yun'er carefully inspected the incision wounds on the body of Concubine Xian, especially the incisions formed on the bones.The incisions are different, Song Yuner compared and analyzed the different incisions according to Yang Qiuchi's teaching before, while observing and explaining to the prince, the prince nodded again and again, and his face was full of excitement.Master Xingming made a detailed record on the side.

After the investigation was completed, the three of them left the tomb passage and ordered Habayashi Wei to seal the entrance to the tomb passage.Afterwards, the Red Iron Tower and several remaining Jinyiwei were arrested and interrogated.

After the interrogation, the crown prince dispatched a team of Habayashi avant-garde guards to replace Jin Yiwei as the guardian of the mausoleum of the concubine Xian.Then depart for Beijing.

Back in the capital, the crown prince and Song Yun'er went back to Yang's mansion directly, and told Yang Qiuchi about the investigation.Yang Qiuchi immediately made further deployments.

------------------
The living room of Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town.

Ji Gang sat in the middle of the living room with a livid face, staring at the senior officials of Jin Yi Wei on both sides, listening to their reports.

An official said with cold sweat on his forehead: "After the prince's Habayashi Qianwei took over the Marquis Yang's mansion, the people who were placed in the innermost were all his cronies and guards. Those of us in Habayashi Qianwei couldn't get close at all. So... so I don't know what the prince's actions are..."

Another Jinyiwei official said: "Yes, the prince is very cunning this time. When he went to the prison execution ground to interrogate Wang Sicai and the others, he only left his cronies behind, and even the supervisor and execution officer were not allowed to approach. It is said that we have arranged eyeliner in the sky prison... So, I don't know what he asked. Later, Wang Sicai was pardoned by the emperor and changed to hang Ling Chi. From this point of view, this Wang Sicai must have Something was said, but the content is unknown."

Ji Gang snorted heavily, and his face became even more ugly.

Seeing Ji Gang's appearance, all the officials knew that Ji Gang was extremely annoyed, but the report had to continue. One official said: "Leaving the prison, the crown prince went back to Yang's mansion again, set up guards, and then took A team of Habayashi Qianwei and his guards rushed to Shandong during the starry night. We first arrived at the Lincheng Post Station, and we couldn't get in, so we didn't know what they were doing there. Then they went to the Mausoleum of Xianfei in Yi County, and conducted an investigation. And replaced the brothers we stationed in Xianfei Mausoleum with a small group of Habayashi avant-garde, and arrested several brothers, saying that the case involved needs to be investigated..."

Ji Gang asked coldly, "Which people did he leave behind?"

The official said the names of those people, Ji Gang's brows were almost knit together, and he said to himself: "Could it be... the prince noticed something?"

The official nodded: "It's very possible that these people were... people who participated..."

Ji Gang asked: "What else does the prince do?"

Several other officials glanced at each other, and said: "The prince entered the palace early this morning. He arrived at the emperor's Qianqing Palace, and he hasn't come out yet."

"Where's the Yang family? Is there any movement?"

The official smiled awkwardly: "Our people have already withdrawn, so the news inside is not clear."

In fact, it was all Ji Gang's fault. At that time, he thought that his fabricated frame had already driven Yang Qiuchi into a situation where he could never recover. In order to prevent Yang Qiuchi from using the guards to resist, he ordered the withdrawal of all 200 people around Yang Qiuchi. People Guard.Therefore, except for Nan Gongxiong, Xia Ping and more than a dozen buddies who were willing to live and die with Yang Qiuchi, the rest of the guards all withdrew from the Yang residence.

It was only when Ming Chengzu decided to appoint the prince to re-investigate the case that Ji Gang realized that he had made a mistake.In the Yang Mansion, he no longer has his own eyeliner.

However, although Ji Gang was annoyed, he was not in a hurry.Wang Sicai, Concubine Shun, and Gu Fuyin were all executed, and there was no proof of death. The lies he fabricated were a certainty.

Ji Gang thought for a while, and said: "Tell the brothers in the yamen who participated in the operation of Xianfei Mausoleum to go out and hide first, and come back after the matter is over. Say that I sent them to other provinces to perform official duties."

The official agreed, got up and went out. As soon as he got to the door, he heard commotion in Beizhen Fusi's yamen.A large number of Habayashi vanguard troops rushed in and guarded every intersection.

The officials were petrified, not knowing what had happened.

Ji Gang hurried out to the entrance of the Yamen's living room, and asked loudly, "Hi! What are you doing?"

Habayashi Wei ignored him, and quickly and decisively took control of the entire yamen in a short while.All the Jinyiwei were gathered in the patio in front of the living room.

Ji Gang and several officials looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

At this time, teams of Ouchi guards rushed in again and quickly took control of the yamen living room.This surprised Ji Gang and the others even more.

Immediately, Eunuch Li came in with a group of eunuchs and maids, and they parted ways. Afterwards, Eunuch Li said loudly: "The emperor is here, kneel down to welcome~!"

When Ji Gang and the others heard that the emperor was coming, they broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly pulled up their robes and fell to their knees.

After a while, Ming Chengzu walked in with square steps, gestured to the kneeling Ji Gang and other senior Jinyiwei officials to make them flatten, and then stepped into the living room.

Ji Gang stood up, only to find that besides Eunuch Li, there were two other people behind Ming Chengzu, one was the chubby Prince Zhu Gaochi, and the other was Yang Qiuchi!

Ji Gang broke out in a cold sweat.Followed in and stood aside.

Ming Chengzu sat down among them and said: "Ji Aiqing, in the past ten days, the crown prince has almost finished investigating the case of Yang Qiuchi, Concubine Shun and others murdering Concubine Xian. Some things need to be investigated in your Jinyiwei yamen. You are in charge, so I decided to come to your North Town Fusi to try this case." Turning to look at the prince Zhu Gaochi: "Gao Chi, please tell me what you have found out."

Zhu Gaochi bowed and agreed, coughed, and said: "I was ordered to re-investigate this case, and interrogated the co-criminals Wang Sicai, Gu Cabinet Bachelor, and Concubine Shun successively. It was a confession made by the concubine. To say that Yang Qiuchi and the others conspired to murder the concubine Xian is nothing at all..."

Ji Gang became anxious, and said: "It's...it's common for criminals to retract their confessions on the grounds of being tortured..."

Ming Chengzu glanced at Ji Gang: "Ji Aiqing, don't worry, after the crown prince has finished investigating the situation, you and Yang Qiuchi can express your views."

Ji Gang hurriedly bowed and agreed, not daring to say any more.

Prince Zhu Gaochi then said to Ming Chengzu: "I didn't dare to believe it at first. After hearing Wang Sicai tell the real murderer behind the scenes, I realized that there might be something else wrong with this case. According to Wang Sicai's confession, The minister arrested the eunuch Mi Xian, and Mi Xian confessed without torture, which is consistent with Wang Sicai's two confessions."

Ji Gang was a little curious. At that time, he was only thinking of using this matter to punish Yang Qiuchi, so he didn't seriously question Wang Sicai.At the beginning of the interrogation of Wang Sicai, Wang Sicai did not confess at first, and Ji Gang also thought that Wang Sicai must have been instigated by a concubine to murder Concubine Xian, because Wang Sicai was arrested in Concubine Shun's palace, although the two confessed to Concubine Shun Wang Sicai sent the colored satin to go, but Ji Gang decided that the concubine who instigated Wang Sicai was a virtuous concubine, so he tortured and induced a confession from the concubine Shun who had no background, and pulled Yang Qiuchi in by the way, thus finalizing the case.Therefore, Wang Sicai did not confess to the real instigator, but made a confession according to the confession induced by Ji Gang and others.

Hearing about the inside story of Wang Sicai's killing of the concubine Xian with poison, Ji Gang was a little dumbfounded. It was only because he was too eager to solve the case at the beginning, and he was only thinking about how to punish Yang Qiuchi.Now I understand that no matter who the real instigator is, once it is verified, it will prove that the case he decided was wrong.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi continued: "According to the confessions of the two, it was not Concubine Shun and Yang Qiuchi who really instigated Wang Sicai's murder, but the third emperor's younger brother Zhu Gaosui."

Ji Gang was taken aback. Hearing this name, he immediately figured out everything. He is extremely sensitive to politics. He remembered the attempted coup by the third emperor Zhu Gaosui in August last year. Obviously, it was related to that coup. They were all a series of usurping actions launched by Zhu Gaosui.He regretted not interrogating Wang Sicai in detail at that time. If he could find out the conspiracy, it would be a great achievement.

The prince Zhu Gaochi then said to Ming Chengzu: "The assassination of the concubine Xian is not their real purpose. Their real purpose is to assassinate you, the father. The father is blessed by the gods. At that time, an urgent memorial came and they were processing the memorial all night. Therefore, at that time Only the concubine Xian was poisoned to death."

Ming Chengzu slapped the table heavily: "Gao Sui, that rebellious son! The one who was about to behead him last time was the benevolence of your wife, so I begged for mercy. If you don't kill this rebellious son, you will suffer in the future." !"

Zhu Gaochi smiled honestly, did not answer the question, and continued: "After reporting to the emperor, my son rushed to Lincheng, Shandong Province day and night, and according to Wang Sicai's confession, he extracted the information she had hidden under the roof tiles of the inn. The secret letter written to her by Gao Sui, the younger brother of the third emperor. So far, the case assigned by the emperor has been successfully solved."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi took out a stack of paper full of words from his arms, and handed it to Ming Chengzu: "This is the confession of Concubine Shun, Bachelor of Cabinet Gu, Wang Sicai, and eunuch Mi Xian, and the third emperor's younger brother Gao Sui. The letter to Wang Sicai, since the third brother was in a daze after being wounded on the head by Princess Yunlu last time, there was no way to interrogate him, so the minister did not interrogate the third brother."

Ming Chengzu took it, looked it over carefully, and then handed the stack of papers to Ji Gang: "Ji Aiqing, take it and see if it's right."
