Chapter 29
Liu Yi would never have imagined that an assassination case where even the sufferer could not be found would cause him to lose the black hat on his head!

It has been five days since the assassination, and there is still no clue in this case.

He didn't know who the assassin was, who was assassinated, and why.

Because he couldn't find the victim, he closed the case as a case without a head.

Unexpectedly, in the morning court today, Prince Duan told the emperor that Princess Qianqian was stabbed in the street a few days ago.

When the emperor heard this, Long Yan was furious.

This is not bad!Someone dared to assassinate the royal family!

This matter must be thoroughly investigated!

So he asked Jing Zhaoyin Liu Yi to come forward and answer, and asked him how the investigation was going?
Liu Yi knelt down on the ground, unable to answer.

There is a lot of misery in my heart. I just closed this case yesterday as a case without merit. Today, such a big loophole has been revealed. Who would have thought that the royal family would be assassinated!
What a disaster!

"Father, I only found out when I asked in the yamen yesterday that Master Liu has already closed this case!" Xia Zhi said leisurely.

This Liu Yi, occupying Jing Zhaoyin's seat and not doing business, should have moved his position long ago.

Although this Jingzhaoyin official is not big, but the position is very important, I still feel at ease holding it in my hands!

"Oh?! The case has been closed so quickly, do you know who is behind the scenes?" the emperor asked him.

Liu Yiguang knelt on the ground and said nothing, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"The mastermind behind the scenes didn't know, he closed this case as if it had no merit." Xia Zhi answered for him.

"What?!" the emperor said in shock.

"Liu Yi, you are so courageous, you dare to settle the royal case so hastily! What do I want you for?"

I've wanted to deal with you for a long time, the rogue, Liu Yi, has always been very slippery and couldn't catch him. Naturally, I won't let this opportunity go by today. There's no reason to let him go!
Liu Yi kowtowed in fright, repeating in his mouth: "I know my mistake, please forgive me!"

The emperor thundered furiously: "Come here! Pick off his black yarn for me, and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation."

At this moment, someone came up to pick off his Wusha court gown, trying to drag him out.

Liu Yi panicked and went to the doctor in a hurry, calling everyone he saw: "Master Zhang, Lord Wu, Lord Zhao, please intercede with the emperor for me, the emperor is merciful!"

None of the ministers in the court dared to intercede, and the minister whose name was read was even more frightened, and he scolded Liu Yi bloody in his heart.

Everyone is like a bright mirror in their hearts. This is because Prince Duan wants to deal with him.

If anyone stood up and interceded, he might be the next one to do it!

Otherwise, if Wang Duan didn't say it sooner or later, he would say it after Liu Yi closed the case. Isn't this obviously punishing him!

At this time, whoever pleads is a fool!

Xia Zhi saw the reaction of the courtiers in his heart, with a sneer on his face.

These courtiers, when you are proud, how many of them are there to make the icing on the cake, and when you are down, how many people are there to help you?
But that's good too, the more they are like this, the better they can pull out these moths one by one.

After seeing Liu Yi being dragged out, these people reported trivial matters to the emperor as if nothing had happened just now, and even those who were active in their minds had already begun to think about who to recommend to sit in this position. favorable!

Ever since Xia Zhi defeated Liu Yi just now, he has been standing there silently.

But no one can ignore his existence!

Until the emperor announced his retirement, he went down with the courtiers Shi Shiran, and those courtiers automatically, intentionally or unintentionally, kept a few steps away from him.

At this time, he saw the eunuch Fuxi approaching, and knowing that the emperor wanted to see him, he turned around and walked towards him, letting him lead the way.

When Xia Zhi entered the Xingqing Hall, the Emperor was sitting at the table waiting for him. When he saw him coming in, he immediately put down the tea in his hand and said with a smile, "Here comes the wonderful talent! Come and sit down, try this is the new tribute this year." Lushan Cloud and Mist!"

Xia Zhi sat down beside him, and immediately a palace official brought him some tea, Xia Zhi took a sip of tea, it was really good, the fragrance was long, and even his brows were relaxed.

"What Miaocai just said in the court hall is true!" The emperor confirmed.

He was afraid that Xia Zhi made it up specially to punish Liu Yi!

"It's true." Xia Zhi confirmed.

Since this matter has already happened, it is useless to talk about it, why not think about how to make this matter more beneficial to yourself!
So I deliberately suppressed this matter for a few days to see how Liu Yi would act.

Originally, I thought that if Liu Yi didn't make any progress in the past few days, I would punish him for being unfavorable in handling affairs.

Unexpectedly, this idiot thought he didn't die fast enough, so he closed the case as if it had no merit, which saved himself a lot of trouble.

"What?!" The emperor said in surprise, he really didn't expect it to be true!
"Then how is Jiuyuan?" the emperor asked concerned, he must not have been seriously injured!
"No, Chawei, the maid beside her, captured the assassin. The assassin didn't want to be captured alive, so he bit the poison under the tooth socket and died." Xia Zhi replied,

"Her servant girl?" The emperor asked suspiciously. He had a little impression of this servant girl. He looked quite cold, but he didn't expect him to be a master of martial arts!

Not only him, even Xia Zhi didn't expect that, even though he usually saw her with a long whip pinned to her waist, he thought she was a little good at martial arts, if it wasn't for this incident, he wouldn't know that she was a master.

This Shang Qiulin was really dedicated to his daughter, he even calculated what might happen to her daughter, and found such a master for her daughter to keep by her side.

When I think about the fact that I was married to Shang Qiulin and married his daughter as his daughter-in-law, it is not surprising. Such a father who is dedicated to his daughter is not wronged by him!
"Who is the mastermind behind this scene? We have found it!" The emperor felt relieved when he heard that Jiu Yuan was fine, and asked about the follow-up matters.

Although I did such a ridiculous thing when I was drunk, how could I not investigate Shang Jiuyuan's behavior after I woke up, and let her marry Miaocai rashly!
He is quite fond of this daughter-in-law, she understands the importance, advances and retreats, and can make money!
"Not yet, but the most suspicious one is Zhao Mai, Marquis of Loyalty." Xia Zhi frowned.

The previous generations of Zhongyi Hou also fought with the Taizu. After the founding of the country, they were granted the title of Marquis, but they did not expect that the next generation is not as good as the previous generation. In order to keep this honor, the current generation has established friendship with the Duke of the Protectorate and protects the country in everything. The Duke's Mansion followed suit.

In the matter of Chunwei recently, Zhao Mai was replaced by himself because he was not good at doing things. He was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, and he even heard that after Jiuyuan was assassinated, he recruited counselors into the study for half an hour.

This person is the most suspected person. The other aristocratic families have not moved so far, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, the conflict between the royal family and the clan has a long history.

The emperor nodded, no matter whether he did it or not, it will be done by him in the end.

As for the real culprit, the investigation is undercover!
