A large group of people marched toward the room where the corpse was temporarily parked.
At this time, the people who had just been sent to Beishi came back and reported: "Back to the emperor, Master Fu did go to Beishi on the seventh day of the lunar month, and there were witnesses throughout the day."
The emperor stated Waving his hand: "Fu Aiqing is innocent."
Master Fu Yin said loudly: "This life is not about which minister or prince assassinated this person."
He pointed to Corpse: "This man was killed by poisonous arrows on the secret compartment in the attic. The emperor means whoever is this man's master is the culprit behind the scenes."
Regarding this, the ministers present had already understood this.
What the emperor wants to check is not human life, but who wants to know the content of his secret edict.
Master Fuyin said again: "The current problem is how this person entered the Hanlin Academy."
While speaking, he looked around, as if he was checking who was the biggest suspect.
"I probably came in with a certain Hanlin master, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sneak in easily."
Therefore, all officials of the Hanlin Academy are directly suspected.
Someone immediately retorted: "Why do you say this again?"
Yan Xinghe said: "The Hanlin Academy is in the palace, and casual people are not allowed to enter. Apart from me and the Hanlin, who else is in the palace? People can come in and out more freely? "
Even if Hanlin's followers can enter the Hanlin Academy, they can only walk through specific passages and cannot walk freely in the palace.
This is common sense.
But apart from that, everyone who enters and exits the palace freely is suspect.
How to fix it only on Hanlin?
This statement immediately attracted the support of all the officials.
Suddenly, someone pointed out: "The corpse token belongs to the second prince's house, and the insole shows that it belongs to the third prince's house. In this case, both princes are suspected. How can the problem be brought to me? Waiting for the Hanlin Academy? "
The Hanlin Academy is known as the "Emperor's Private". Although officials may take sides privately, they are most tabooed by the emperor if they show it to the public.
For a time, the scene was noisy.
The second prince and the third prince immediately argued.
The officials in the Hanlin Academy also claimed that they did not know the corpse lying on the ground.
Only the prince standing next to the emperor remained silent and thoughtful.
Seeing this, Fu Ciyi shrank his eyes, turned his head and asked Wu Zuo: "Are you sure you have checked your whole body carefully?"
Wu Zuo came over and lifted up the white cloth covering the body: "Master Fu, please see, there is no trace of the body on the body. Is there anything else that has not been checked?"
The body that caught everyone's attention had a mark on its chest. There were blood holes and the surrounding skin was black, and he was obviously poisoned to death.
There are many secret structures hiding the secret edict, and it is not easy to get a glimpse of the secret edict.
Obviously this person was killed by the agency.
Fu Ciyi squinted his eyes, looked at the corpse lying on the stretcher, and then asked him calmly: "The corpse's hair is not messy, so it can be seen that the scalp has not been checked, right?"
"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for reminding me!"
Wu Zuo was startled and immediately untied the corpse's hair.
Pull open the hair seams and take a closer look, and find a tattoo on the back of the head. It is a weird two-cornered figure, like a pair of wings.
The tattoo is not big and the color is the same as the hair color. It is indeed difficult to find without careful inspection.
Fu Ciyi said quietly: "Clothes and shoes can be changed, and tokens can be hung at will, but tattoos on the scalp cannot be temporary."
"What Mr. Fu said is true!" the second prince said gratefully.
It is rare for a minister to excuse him.
The third prince also said: "Yes, yes, fortunately Master Fu is careful." Then he glanced aside, "Why didn't the people in Jingzhao Mansion check this person's scalp in the first place?"
"Even the tongue has been checked, and the scalp is indeed an oversight on our part." Wusaku lowered his head and explained.
In fact, I found the token and the insole. I simply thought that the mastermind behind the scenes would finally come to light. How could I have the thought to dig through my hair to check for a tattoo that was only half the size of a fingernail?
Regarding the tattoo pattern, everyone observed it carefully for a long time.
Fu Ciyi knew at a glance that the tattoo in front of him was the logo of a killer organization, but he didn't say it at the moment. The emperor sent someone from the Ministry of Punishment to make a judgment.
A person from the Ministry of Punishment took a look and said, "Your Majesty, this logo comes from a killer organization called Goshawk."
"Flies?" Someone laughed.
The man from the Ministry of Punishment frowned: "The Eagle in the Sky, referred to as the Goshawk."
As soon as they heard about the "Eagle in the Sky", the ministers present looked at each other.
It is rumored that this organization specializes in opposing the imperial court, probably to know who is about to take the throne and who it wants to assassinate.
For a moment, everyone looked at the prince worriedly.
Fu Ciyi disagreed.
Who is the person behind Goshawk, and what is the real purpose?
Who is most concerned about the content of the edict now?
Everything seems to be starting to become clearer.
But it’s hard for him to say until he gets definite evidence.
The second prince and the third prince were cleared of suspicion. Now they knew that the prince was Goshawk's target, and they felt relieved.
The second prince bowed deeply to the emperor: "Father, Master Fu is a strict man. In this murder case, thanks to Master Fu's advice, I was able to clear my son's innocence. Please reward Master Fu!"
Three The prince agreed: "Master Fu is a rigorous man and can be regarded as the pillar of our dynasty. I think my father should be promoted to Master Fu."
Both of them are blatantly trying to win over Fu Ciyi.
How could the emperor not know their thoughts and immediately said: "Fu Aiqing was promoted to two levels not long ago. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to be promoted again now."
As an emperor, he always hated this The killer organization paused slightly and then said: "Fu Aiqing has merit this time, I will remember it."
After that, the body was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion were asked to thoroughly investigate Goshawk.
The ministers cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty!"
Not long after, the emperor left with Prime Minister Cai and Duke Yan, and all the officials left the palace one after another.
At this point, when the matter was settled, it was already afternoon when he stepped out of the palace.
Lu Wenfeng said: "Let's go to Chengwen Building."
Fu Ciyi said softly: "Go home and take a bath."
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to get rid of the bad luck. We are all regarded as suspects."
The two of them went back to their homes to take a bath. .
In the evening, Lu Wenfeng came to Fu's house to look for Fu Ciyi, but he thought that Fu Ciyi didn't want to go.
“Funing’s restaurant is opening today, why don’t you go?”
"If you don't want to go, you won't go. There is no reason."
Lu Wenfeng couldn't talk to him, so he had to step out: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I must go."
——
Night falls.
The lights in Chengwen Building are bright, but the business is average.
Yan Funing invited Lu Wenfeng, Zhang Tong and Zhang Tie into the private room to eat with them. He turned his eyes and looked behind them. He didn't see anyone coming, but he didn't ask.
Liu Song and Mr. He were setting out the dishes. Seeing that Fu Ciyi had not come, he thought that he was quite sensible and knew that he was not welcome.
Lu Wenfeng said: "I wanted to bring Ciyi with me, but he refused to come."
Hearing this, Yan Funing knew that someone was fine.
At this time, Liu Song said: "Master Fu and my daughter have reconciled, it is better not to meet."
Lu Wenfeng could only say yes with a smile.
Yan Funing seemed to ask casually: "The case is over, has the murderer been found?"
Lu Wenfeng explained: "This murder case is not about finding the murderer. The person who died was The emperor came to peek at the edict to find the person behind the scenes." (End of Chapter)
