Chapter 582 Kill Him


Chapter 582 Homicide

After catching the person who wanted to assassinate Xia Zihan, Chu Jingqi, Lord Ge, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Wang, the prefect of the capital, and two adults from Yushitai, interrogated the two assassins overnight.

Said to be an assassin, he is actually a warder in the sky prison.

According to their confession, they did not want to assassinate Xia Zihan, but their daughter-in-law and son were caught. If they did not follow the other party's request and killed Xia Zihan, and then turned the scene into a scene where Xia Zihan committed suicide out of fear of crime, they would His wife's son will die.

Although the two jailers confessed everything they knew, they had never seen the person behind the scenes. They just lost their daughter-in-law and son, and then saw the letter left at home.

"Where is the letter?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked in a deep voice.

The jailer from the Ministry of Punishment actually wanted to murder Princess Chu Yu, and also wanted to show that Princess Chu Yu committed suicide out of fear of crime. This made him furious after learning the truth, and he lost his face. At the same time, he also felt disrespectful to the person behind the scenes. Hated to the extreme.

When he heard that there was a letter, he was eager to check it.

"At...at home."

The jailer, whose limbs were tied and whose body was covered with whip marks, was weak and weak.

The Minister of Punishment quickly sent someone to his home to get the letter.

"Is it a woman's word?"

Seeing the beautiful and elegant hairpin in small regular script on the letter, Lord Magistrate Wang frowned, "These words, at first glance, were written by a woman. But with these few words alone, it would be difficult to investigate the person behind the scenes." .

Not only is it difficult, it is simply difficult to reach the sky.

How many women in the entire capital can write, and how many outsiders can see a woman's handwriting besides her own family?

Seeing that there was no hope at this end, Chu Xuanyu ordered his secret guards to investigate the whereabouts of the families of the two jailers. He also told Lord Ge, the Minister of Punishment, "So many people have been taken away from their homes. It is impossible for the neighbors to make any noise." If you can’t hear it, I’ll send a few officers to the area early tomorrow morning to ask.”

"Prince An's analysis is that not only neighbors, but also relatives must be checked one by one." Lord Ge said.

After the little palace maid testified against Xia Zihan, she bit her tongue and committed suicide when she saw that Xia Zihan was imprisoned in the prison.

I thought that the clues to investigate Xia Zihan's case had been interrupted. Unexpectedly, two more clues were sent in the middle of the night.

People from the Criminal Department, Chu Xuanyu and his son, spared no effort to investigate the case.

In the afternoon, the officials from the Criminal Department came back to report and found out that when the two jailers' families were arrested, it was yesterday afternoon and happened to be overheard by a neighbor's child who came out to use the toilet.

Out of curiosity, the child secretly climbed up a big tree next to the wall adjacent to the two houses and peeked here.

The arresters were a group of local gangsters. They first tied up and gagged all the family members, and then threw them into a large carriage.

The child was so frightened that he did not dare to make a sound and kept hiding in the tree. Because the tree was very high, he saw the group of people leaving before climbing down the tree.

The child said that the group of people left in two groups, the carriage went east, and the gangsters who arrested people went west.

Master Ge said with a gloomy face, "No matter how many groups we leave, a tall carriage appears in the back alley and harbor. It is always conspicuous. Someone must have seen which way it went. Check, keep checking, it must be To find out where the carriage is going.”

As long as we find out where the carriage went, the murderer will be revealed.

The officer from the Criminal Department received his errand and left in a hurry.

Chu Xuanyu said, "My people are going to investigate those gangsters." Although the capital is large, there are not many gangsters. If those people are really gangsters, then as long as they inquire more, they will definitely find out.

The people from the Criminal Department and the secret guards of the Chu family divided into two groups to investigate.

Xia Zihan had already returned to the Chu family. She had a thrilling incident, which was considered a near miss. However, it frightened several maids around her.

Yesterday, when Xia Zihan entered the palace for a banquet, several maids were waiting for her outside the palace because maids were not allowed to enter.

Who knows, in the afternoon, everyone came out, but their princess did not come out. Then I heard others talking, saying that their princess had assassinated the queen. The evidence was conclusive and she had been imprisoned in the sky prison by the emperor.

They were frightened. They didn't believe that the princess went back to poison the queen, so they hurried back to Chu's house to report the letter. After hearing the letter, Chu Xuanyu and Chu Jingqi, father and son, hurriedly entered the palace.

Chu Xuanyu and Chu Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the emperor had locked up Xia Zihan, just to stabilize the other party first, and then wait for the news that the other party was waiting for an opportunity.

The emperor said, "Since the person behind the scenes wants to harm Chu Yu, I always feel that she will have other tricks. She will not give up until she sends Chu Yu to a cell."

Then, Xia Zihan was assassinated in the prison. The emperor proudly said to Chu Jingqi, "Look, my guess was accurate. The other party really took action."

The angry Chu Jingqi glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Fortunately, Chu Yu smelled that the food had been cooked, so he didn't eat it. Otherwise... no matter how good Chu Yu's martial arts was, if he took the drug, he would fall into the trap In other people’s hands, it’s a dead end.”

The emperor touched his nose and said, "Don't I believe in Chu Yu's ability? If she can't smell ordinary poison, then she doesn't deserve to be called the apprentice of Doctor Bai."

Chu Jingqi was so angry that she wanted to kick him.

Fortunately, the other party took action.

The other party wanted to put Xia Zihan to death, not just let her go to jail.

The emperor added, "Besides, the other party's cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness, and he actually killed the little palace maid."

As soon as the little palace maid died, even a fool could guess that Chu Yu was wronged. The other party made it look like the little palace maid committed suicide instead of killing her. That method was simply to treat the emperor like a monkey, hum...


It turned out that not long after Xia Zihan was arrested, the little palace maid who testified against Xia Zihan died in the cell. She broke a bowl while eating lunch and secretly left a piece of porcelain. Then, she used the porcelain shard to He cut his wrists and died.

In that scene, no one doubted that the little palace maid had not committed suicide, but the emperor went to see it in person and saw the problem.

It turned out that the knife that the little palace maid cut on her wrist was very neat and neat. It was not cut by a porcelain piece. The wound on the wrist cut by the porcelain bottle and the blade was different. Anyone who was interested could see it at a glance.

There were no blades or daggers in that cell. How did the little palace maid die?

As long as you investigate carefully, you will know that someone from the other party has appeared in the prison, otherwise, the little palace maid would not have died so quietly.

After the emperor thought of this, he sent extra manpower to closely monitor Xia Zihan's cell.

No, as expected, he caught two small fishes.

The emperor was very happy and immediately opened his mouth and let Xia Zihan go back. The emperor said, "I know you were wronged. Okay, go back."
