Chapter 2945 Mutation, Death without Evidence [2]

The ministers and generals in the inner palace were all frightened... What did Wei Xiao mean by this? Are you going to officially launch an army against Wei Qi? !

In an instant, the atmosphere in the palace became tense, especially the generals on both sides of Wei Xiao and Wei Qi, who had changed their posture and were about to start a fight at any time.

Zhang Yan, Zhong Yu and other northwest generals are also always ready to respond in case of a fight.

Ning Ji hurriedly came out and said: "Prince Wei, please calm down. Now is not the time for internal strife. We should first check the bodies of Sun Liang and others, and then arrest all the people related to Sun Liang and others, and investigate and interrogate them one by one..."

He looked at the ministers and generals in the palace and said in a deep voice: "This is a situation, a vicious situation that wants Prince Wei to turn against His Majesty and wants David to fall into civil strife, so everyone must be calm and not attack easily. , otherwise after both sides suffer losses, outsiders will benefit!"

It is indeed Ning Ji's goal to make Wei Xiao and Wei Qi turn against each other, but it is too early now, so we have to wait... wait until Wei Xiao loses control in despair and cannot find any flaw in the game; wait until the army led by Qin Sanlang has left After getting further away, it's a good time for Wei Xiao and Wei Qi to take action.

If the Wei family's uncle and nephew turn against each other too soon, Qin Sanlang may lead his army back to the capital, and then his plan will fail!

Mr. Zuo was the first to pick out and echoed: "Ninghou is right, Prince Wei needs to be calm, and he can't let the real evil thief take advantage of the loophole!"

You uncles and nephews must not bring down the Davidic dynasty, otherwise what will happen to the five generations of my Zuo family who have been rich and powerful? My family's title is not yet warm!

Then he hurriedly looked at Mr. Qin and Mr. Feng: "Mr. Cheng and Mr. Feng, please advise Prince Wei. We are all members of the same family. Don't let your Majesty get angry with you."

"Master Zuo is right, now we need to check the bodies of Sun Liang and others first." Mr. Feng finally spoke and said: "Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation of the details of all the soldiers guarding the Chu Family Villa. Who do they associate with? Who are the current and past Shangguan? Who is the official who recommended them to join the Chu Family Villa as guards? Debts, money and other matters must also be investigated. Are there any secret relatives or concubines? "

Wei Qi was afraid that Wei Xiao's soldiers and horses would attack the capital, so he did not dare to kill Wei Xiao too quickly. He immediately said: "I will issue an order to get to the bottom of this case!"

After giving the Ministry of Punishments an imperial edict that they could investigate beyond their authority, he came to Wei Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, Mr. Ouyang Hu is a well-known scholar. He has always been fair and has won the trust of courtiers and Mu Geer. Therefore, my uncle ordered him to personally Guarding Sun Liang and others, we didn’t expect that something would happen.”

Ouyang Hu is the most neutral person, and even prefers Wei Xiao because of the Qin family, so the death of Sun Liang and others cannot be blamed on him. If Wei Xiao is angry, he should go to Ouyang Hu.

But Wei Xiao sneered and said: "Since they are planning to harm me, Sun Liang and the others must have received orders from their master early in the morning. They knew when and under what circumstances they were going to die. It doesn't matter who you send to guard them!"

This is quite right.

Wei Qi was rebuffed and had no intention of pretending. He pointed at the palace door and said, "Let's go to the prison yard and have a look."

He also dragged Wei Lin along.

Wei Lin was very scared, and his men struggled, but Wei Qi held his wrist tightly and wouldn't let go... As the heir of the David Dynasty, if he didn't even dare to look at the corpse, how could he control the civil and military officials of the dynasty!

The prison yard is near the Qingzheng Palace, and it takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk there.

When Ouyang Hu saw them coming, he came over to plead guilty: "I am incompetent, please punish me."

Wei Qi hurriedly helped him up: "Mr. Ouyang's words are serious. Sun Liang and the others are going to commit suicide. No one can stop them. It's lucky that Mr. Ouyang was not injured."

After saying this, he led the ministers into the house to inspect the body.

Eleven people hit the wall and committed suicide together. The scene in the house was really scary.

Shit, Wei Lin almost vomited when he saw the corpse. He covered his mouth tightly and smelled the sachet to make himself feel better.

When Wei Qi saw this, he frowned slightly, feeling that Wei Lin was still too weak and had to let the military commander who taught him lead him to see more corpses... Well, with such a teaching method, it was difficult for Wei Lin not to go crazy. .

The imperial physician in the palace and the clerk of the Ministry of Punishment immediately got busy, and three-quarters of an hour later, they came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Sun Liang and the others did hit the wall and died. There was no sign of poisoning, and there were no notes, poisons, or other suspicious things on their bodies. thing."

"There are no clues, so it's very difficult to investigate." Mr. Zuo looked at Ning Ji with a sad face: "Does Ning Hou have any magic tricks to solve this case quickly?"

Let's settle this matter quickly, otherwise no one will have a good life!

Ning Ji glanced at Wei Xiao and said: "As Prince Wei said, since it is a game, then Sun Liang and the others are clean, and nothing can be found by checking the bodies...According to what Mr. Feng said before, the check People they come into contact with outside, such as Sun Liang’s cousin.”

but……

Ning Ji added: "Your Majesty, please punish Wei Chang severely according to the law... He abused his power, forcibly searched the residence of the female members of the Chu family, and even demanded their clothes. At this juncture, if such an insult to the female members of the Chu family is not severely punished, I'm afraid that It will endanger the reputation of the Davidic Dynasty."

Although it was Wei Xiao who ordered Wei Chang to search for Emperor Jingyuan's edict, Wei Chang messed up the matter and made it known to everyone. It would not work without severe punishment. Wei Qi could only say: "What Ninghou said is absolutely correct. I will order the arrest of Wei Chang now. I will not let an eunuch harm the female members of the Chu family!"

Then he went to ask Mr. Feng: "Mr. Feng, I leave it to you to investigate the matter of Sun Liang and others. You must investigate this case clearly and bring justice to Brother Xiao, the David Dynasty, and the Chu and Meng families."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will interrogate Chen Zhang and others overnight, and the people in Huyang Lane will also investigate one by one, and will not let go of any clues to solve the case." Mr. Feng added: "The clothes of the Chu family's female family members have been brought into the palace. Please also ask Your Majesty to send a nun from the palace to check the clothes."

Wei Qi said hurriedly: "No, the clothes of the women of the Chu family were taken by Wei Chang without authorization. They should be returned, how can they be inspected?"

Wei Xiao sneered and said, "Uncle, the eunuch paid a huge price to take back the clothes of the female members of the Chu family. If he didn't check them, wouldn't he be sorry for the eunuch? What if the clothes of the female members of the Chu family contained the edict of Emperor Jingyuan? "

This, you really dare to say it, Mr. Zuo was trembling, pretending that he was deaf and didn't hear!

Mr. Feng continued: "Your Majesty, Prince Wei is right. Since the clothes have been brought back, let's check them. After the inspection, firstly, everyone can feel at ease, secondly, the female family members of the Chu family can be cleared, and thirdly, It can cut off those who want to spread rumors that Emperor Huai of Chu has left a legacy."

When the matter came to this point, Wei Qi could only agree: "Okay, I will ask the queen to get the clothes, lead the female officials to inspect them, and then personally send the clothes back to the Chu Family Villa."

Wei Qi didn't want to talk about the Chu family's women's clothing anymore, so he asked Wei Xiao: "Brother Xiao, where do you want to be imprisoned? How about going to Anping Palace? This is your residence in the palace."

Wei Xiao smiled: "Uncle, my nephew is now a suspect. You let me live in Anping Palace. What I know is that you love me. What you don't know is that you think I am arrogant and deliberately trampling on David's criminal law... Or is it that uncle wants to Do you want to kill your nephew?"

If you want to pretend to be benevolent and righteous, I will have to break up with you and let those ministers and generals who think you are good to me see what evil intentions you have!

After hearing this, Wei Qi looked sad: "Well, it's my uncle's fault. A hundred years from now, my uncle will go to your parents to plead guilty... Then where do you want to be imprisoned? A prison in heaven?"

Wei Xiao thought for a while and chose a place: "Go to the cell where Meng Shanhu is imprisoned."
