With the discovery of the corpse of the subordinate and the digging out of the burden buried in the sand, Feng Du's assassination finally had a new breakthrough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Obviously, this case is not just an assassination, but a pre-planned deployment, with sufficient preparation, well-planned murder, Feng Du's whereabouts are nowhere to be hidden on the map, and he can grasp such a fine and accurate whereabouts, it is obviously the person who was killed to do it, he was bought by the murderer, so Feng Du's whereabouts were revealed to the murderer, and the murderer chose a day and a place, so he waited for Feng Du to pass by, and the last sword pierced his heart......

After a sheepskin map was reasoned by Chang Tu's men, it was natural to come to this conclusion, and the conclusion was very reasonable.

Now that everything needs to be figured out is clear, then, here's the problem.

Whether it is a subordinate or a murderer, their exposure does not mean that the case can be closed, and there is one of the biggest questions, who is the mastermind behind the assassination of Feng Du? Who has an enmity with Feng Du and must be put to death?

The death of Feng's subordinates is just a newly discovered clue for the whole case, and it can't help the government find out who is behind the scenes, but Li Shimin issued a strict decree that this case must be dug deep and investigated to the end, not to mention the mastermind behind the assassination of Feng Du, even the superficial assassin has not been found, and the case is certainly not over.

Dead an internal response, found a parchment map, nothing else, the clue seems to be broken again here.

However, Chang Tu's subordinates were not disappointed, but became more and more excited.

Many seemingly headless unsolved cases are mostly like this when they are first investigated, some die without evidence, and some have no head or tail, and it seems that it will never be possible to solve the case. But in the eyes of a real detective master, every time one more clue is found, it is one step closer to the truth of the facts, and every clue found is a flaw left by the murderer.

The same is true of Feng Du's assassination.

There are actually a lot of clues found now, first of all, the car of Li Zhi, the king of Jin at the time of the crime, happened to pass by, and the murder weapon happened to be found outside the Jingyang Palace where Li Zhi lived, a sheepskin map full of Feng Du's whereabouts, and a spy who was killed......

For the detective master, there are actually enough clues in this case, and the next thing to do is to continue to investigate, and piece together the existing clues to deduce the real murderer from the clues.

The corpse of the subordinate was sent back to Chang'an City overnight, and together with the sheepskin map, it was sent to Chang Tu before dawn.

Next, it is a more rigorous search and summons, when did this exterminated subordinate enter Feng's mansion, where he is from, all social relationships such as relatives and friends at home, and what kind of abnormal behavior Feng Du had before he was assassinated, what strangers he came into contact with, where he often stayed when he went out, why he was able to grasp Feng Du's whereabouts so accurately, and so on.

The process of strict investigation is not short, and it is impossible for clues to be placed in front of you for you to take, so in the first few days, there is almost no harvest from the investigation.

However, the mysterious power in Chang Tu's hands was powerful after all, and four days later, they finally found a very important clue.

A few days before the assassination of Feng Du, this subordinate of Feng's mansion often went to an open-air liquor shop in Changle Fang, Beicheng, which was the kind of liquor store placed on the side of the road at a low price for passers-by and merchants to rest, and by the way, he spent two pennies to buy a bowl of turbid bad liquor to curb alcohol addiction.

The wonderful thing is that the Dali Temple, which is investigating the case together, but is responsible for specializing in the other direction, also spread the news, they were ordered to investigate all the eunuchs and palace maids around the King of Jin, and found that there was a guard next to the King of Jin Li Zhi A few days before Feng Du was assassinated, he often used the excuse to run towards the open-air wine shop.

The news was summarized in Chang Tu's hands, and the two seemingly unrelated clues finally coincided wonderfully, and the open-air wine shop became the final breakthrough in Feng Du's assassination case.

The bribed Feng Mansion Neiying, the guard next to King Jin, appeared in an inconspicuous wine shop at the same time before the crime, what can this clue indicate?

The evidence is ironclad!

Looking at the documents in his hand, Chang Tu sighed with a complicated expression, he is Li Shimin's most trusted shadow, but he is also a living flesh and blood person, Li Zhi almost grew up with him, and his love for this child, Chang Tu has never hidden it in his heart, he doesn't want to see Li Zhi fall into such a murder case than anyone else.

However, the result of holding it in the palm of his hand at this moment is so cruel.

Putting the paperwork into his arms, he got up and brushed the corners of his clothes, and walked towards the Manna Hall with a blank face.

*****************************************************************

In the middle of the night, a cool summer breeze quietly entered the hall, and a candle flame swayed and swayed on the table in the hall, dragging two figures to shake around.

There are only two people in the hall, Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

The atmosphere in the hall tonight was very solemn, and the father and son were no longer as warm and harmonious as before, but they added a bit of stiffness and coldness.

Li Zhi knelt in front of Li Shimin, hung his head and held his breath, without saying a word.

Li Shimin's eyes were like a sword, gloomy as a bird, and under the flickering candlelight, a snow-white document in his hand flickered and dimmed, just like the hesitation in his heart at the moment.

After a long time, Li Shimin closed his eyes, handed the document in his hand to Li Zhi, and sighed in a low voice: "Pheasant slave, you can see for yourself......"

Li Zhi took it, read it carefully, and after reading it, he gently put the document on the case, still not saying a word.

Li Shimin's expression was full of disappointment, and he sighed: "Pheasant slave, you are my favorite child, I still don't believe that you will do such a thing, so I am willing to give you another chance to defend yourself, Pheasant slave, you tell me that Feng Du was assassinated...... Did you really instruct it? ”

Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said, "Father, the son was wronged. ”

The disappointment in Li Shimin's eyes grew, staring at Li Zhi's face for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "This afternoon, I ordered to secretly take down the janissary next to you, and three hours later, he recruited ......."

Li Zhi raised his head and looked directly at him, and said, "He said that it was instructed by his son?" ”

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Zhi's body trembled imperceptibly, and his eyes showed fear, and then he quickly returned to normal.

How could the change in his expression escape Li Shimin's eyes?

Seeing Li Zhi's performance like this, Li Shimin became more and more sure of Chang Tu's investigation results and his own speculation.

"Father, the son dares to ask, has the murderer ever been caught?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The murderer is on the run and is still being pursued, but the process before and after the case has been clearly investigated. ”

Li Zhi still looked at him bravely and said, "The murderer has not been captured, and the father thinks that his son is doing it?" ”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I still believe in you, so I called you here tonight, in order to give you another chance to explain, putting aside the so-called ironclad evidence, the so-called confession, I only ask you, is this case committed by you?" ”

Li Zhi's eyes showed a look of pain: "If the son says no, will my father believe me?" ”

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Believe." ”

"Why should my father deceive his son? Do you really believe in Erchen? If you really believe it, Erchen shouldn't be here tonight! ”

Li Shimin was speechless, but he didn't dare to look at Li Zhi's painful eyes, and turned his head to look to the side.

The father and son were silent for a long time, Li Zhi smiled bitterly, and said: "No wonder my father is suspicious, the evidence is ironclad, the son's argument is irrefutable, and the evidence that the minister has worked hard to find out, even if Feng Du was not killed by the son, he was also killed by the son......"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, pulled down the document on the table, and said slowly: "Pheasant slave, you lost your mother since you were a child, and I personally raised you...... These so-called ironclad evidence, I only think I have never seen it, pheasant slave, I ...... Trust you. ”

Li Zhi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My father is actually still suspicious in his heart, just taking care of the mood of his son, even if he is young, he also knows that the wind and waves in the court are slowing down, and I am afraid that there will be courtiers tomorrow, asking his father to punish him severely, assassinating the courtiers is a big deal, especially if the evidence is ironclad, how can the father be able to beat the thousands of courtiers to force each other?" If the reputation of the father and emperor is tarnished in his life because of his son's minister, it is the unfilial piety of the son......"

Li Shimin tightened his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Pheasant slave, what do you want to say?" ”

Li Zhi looked up at him and smiled, and said calmly: "Erchen asked Zongzheng Temple to ban him, and at the same time asked his father to continue to investigate strictly,...... So, the bento is the work of the retainers. ”

…………

…………

The next day, there was a discussion in the court, and I heard that Dali Temple had verified that the murderer was indeed instructed by Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and the court immediately blew up. Soon, there were courtiers to ask for severe punishment, this time the momentum of Shangshu was huge, not only dozens of imperial historians in unison, even the officials of the three provinces and six ministries also said that the wind of assassinating the courtiers was unheard of, and this wind must not be long, and the king of Jin should be severely punished, thinking that the princes should follow suit.

Li Shimin sat upright in the hall, watching the ministers speak in unison with righteous indignation, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Li Chengqian rebelled, the princes were not of good character, and often disturbed the people and bullied the people, and now his favorite King Jin actually instructed to assassinate the courtiers, at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his father had done a good job and failed.

But why did it fail?

As a father, especially the most powerful father in the world, he can give all the princes and princesses all the best things in the world, out of the clouds, into the brocade clothes and food, not only material, spiritual character He has never slackened, the masters in the palace are the most prestigious in the Shilin, such as Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda, etc., to give them the most comprehensive and the most rigorous education.

More than ten years have passed, why none of these princes who have gradually grown up have been competitive, even his favorite Jin King Li Zhi now dares to assassinate the courtiers, his father deserves to fail, but what he did wrong, Li Shimin himself does not understand.

Looking at the courtiers below clamoring and shouting, looking like they would not give up, Li Shimin's heart swelled with deep exhaustion and sadness, and his face sank unconsciously.

The courtiers naturally have eyesight, and seeing that Li Shimin's dragon face was about to change color, all the courtiers closed their mouths in unison, hung their heads and stood silent, and almost instantly, the hall was so silent that it could be heard falling a needle.

After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin said with a tired face: "I have no way to teach my son, it's my fault, as for the disposal, I don't have to worry about it, Jin Wangzhi took the initiative to ask Zongzheng Temple to ban him last night, and he has already entered Zongzheng Temple early this morning......"

The ministers were stunned, looked at each other, shook their heads with complicated expressions, and then sighed inaudibly.

What a good child, he was almost watched by everyone at the beginning, and he was extraordinarily likable, why was he involved in this murder?

In the silence of the hall, a courtier suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the law, should be treated equally, Qin Shiwei Gong new law, the prince is guilty of breaking the law, the prince, the heir of the monarch, can not be punished, then punish his Fu, his teacher, the Qin people tend to his order, today the prince violates the law, how can it be confined?" I thought it was ......"

The more Li Shimin listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and when the courtier finished speaking, he had already changed color, and before the man finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him angrily and said angrily: "Do you want to put my son to death?" ”

The courtier who spoke didn't dare to raise his head, but he also heard the murderous intent in Li Shimin's tone, hurriedly stopped his mouth, lowered his head and retreated.

In the crowd of courtiers, the eldest grandson Wuji's gaze swept quickly, and when he met the courtier's eyes, the eldest grandson Wuji threw a vicious look at him, and the courtier became more and more discolored, and retreated in a panic.

In the silence of the hall, Li Shimin suddenly got up, flicked the sleeves of his robe fiercely, glanced at the ministers viciously, and said angrily: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

**************************************************************

When the news of Li Zhi's captivity reached Taiping Village, it was already in the evening of that day.

Li Suzheng took Xu Mingzhu's arm and walked with her in the village.

Step by step, step by step, like a harlequin official on the stage, where is this walking, it is clearly a demon.

After patiently walking with her for half an hour, Li Su finally couldn't help it.

He was happy to accompany him, but he was a little mindful of the strange stares from the villagers, as if they were watching two madmen swaggering through the market, followed by a large group of nervous looks......

"Ma'am, that's pretty much enough,...... Ahem, we've almost walked enough, let's go back to the house and rest, shall we? Li Su tried to squeeze out a smile and said.

Xu Mingzhu winked at him pitifully, raised his hand, pointed to a mountain in the distance about dozens of miles away, and said softly and glutinously: "The concubine is in good spirits today, I want to go there and ......turn back."

Li Su's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said: "It's a long way to learn the scriptures, Wukong, and I have received supernatural powers, let's go on the road with the teacher tomorrow......"

Xu Mingzhu sneered, then lowered her head, she also felt a little embarrassed.

"The concubine is the first time in her life, not to mention...... I haven't seen any movement in my stomach in the past few years since I married my husband, but now I'm finally pregnant, and my concubine is ...... I always want to make the villagers happy......"

Li Su sighed: "What are you doing to make the villagers happy, obviously disturbing the people, haven't you seen the traces of people in our vicinity?" As soon as you appeared, the villagers didn't dare to go out, so they all hid at home and waited for the locusts to cross the border. ”

Xu Mingzhu slapped him and said angrily: "Why is the husband so ugly? The concubine is just playing tricks for a few days......"

pursed her mouth aggrievedly, Xu Mingzhu said in a low voice: "The concubine has been worried for a few years, and the husband is not allowed to raise her eyebrows and exhale once?" ”

The reason is very strong, Li Su was speechless, so he had to sigh and say: "Okay, for your husband, you are allowed to swagger through the village and cross Taiping Village with your belly, after all, my child is a hostage in your belly, you can be happy......"

Xu Mingzhu chuckled, walked lightly for a while, and finally felt happy, so the husband and wife went home with all the tribes.

The front and back parts were far away from the two, Xu Mingzhu looked around, approached Li Su, and said in a low voice: "The husband hasn't been with Her Royal Highness the princess yet...... That's it? ”

Li Su was stunned: "Which one is 'that'?" ”

"Oops!" Xu Mingzhu slapped him, and said angrily: "What is the husband pretending to be confused!" ”

Li Su understood, oh, and said, "Madame is pregnant, and your husband must take care of your mood, say, what answer do you like?" ”

Xu Mingzhu glared at him and snorted: "Even if the husband doesn't say it, the concubine also knows, don't forget, Her Royal Highness the princess and the concubine have a good relationship." ”

Li Su glanced at her: "I know you still ask." ”

Xu Mingzhu covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "The princess told the concubine, and admitted to her face that when she learned that the concubine was pregnant, she was a little jealous, so she lost her temper with her husband, and after the anger, she apologized to the concubine......"

Li Su said curiously: "Dongyang she...... Admit to being jealous of you to your face? ”

Xu Mingzhu nodded, and sighed leisurely: "The concubine is also a woman, so it is especially clear that it is difficult to let a woman admit that she is jealous of her in front of another woman, and I also know how broad-minded Her Royal Highness the princess is, how calm and calm, just about this, the concubine is not as good as her, I sincerely admire her, and I also feel that this person can be heart-to-heart, the husband had a good vision back then, such a woman is worthy of the husband's lifelong care and pampering......

Seeing that Xu Mingzhu's expression was not different, Li Su knew that what she said came from the heart, and she was suddenly a little moved in her heart, and couldn't help but hug her shoulders and said with a smile: "You are not bad, you and she are worthy of my lifelong care and love, regardless of each other." ”

Xu Mingzhu glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head, his pretty face flushed, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is pregnant, I'm afraid I can't ...... these days After serving her husband, the concubine heard her mother say that the man has not been ...... for a long time If you don't act for a long time, you may be burned and injured, last time Her Royal Highness the princess was only occasionally angry, and now the anger has passed, if the husband goes to see her again, she ...... I won't refuse. ”

Talking about when to have sex with another woman in front of his mother-in-law, Li Su was really unaccustomed to it, and suddenly felt that he was a beast and a scumbag, the kind of scumbag who was not wronged by lightning nine times......

After being embarrassed for a long time, Li Su touched his nose and smiled dryly: "Let's talk about it later, serving Mrs. now is the most important thing." ”

Xu Mingzhu didn't mind at all, she knew the rumors of Li Su and Dongyang before marrying into the Li family, and she was really a little apprehensive and jealous at first, and she couldn't help but have a little thought of competing with Dongyang. Now that all these years have passed, especially when I am pregnant with Li Su's child in my belly, the sense of crisis that is hidden in the depths of my heart has suddenly been released, what else can I not think about?

"The concubine doesn't mind anymore, what is the husband hesitating about? The husband in the eyes of the concubine stood up to the sky and the earth, and was decisive in killing, why did he hesitate and hesitate when he encountered this matter? ”

Li Su blinked: "You really don't mind?" ”

Xu Mingzhu smiled, and there was a subtle pride in her smile: "Over the years, the concubine still knows her husband very well, and her husband is a down-to-earth person. ”
