Chapter 880: The Literati's Dispute.

Regarding what Ye Xing said, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi understands that if he wants to save Yang Shiqi, I am afraid that he must understand as much as possible what Yang Shiqi has done.

But the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should tell Ye Xing what he knew.

Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi hesitated, Ye Xing sighed and said, "Since the prince refuses to say, then I can't force it, if the prince has nothing to do, I will leave first!" ”

Ye Xing did not leave after saying this, not because he had not yet obtained the consent of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, but because he knew that after he said this, the prince Zhu Gaochi would definitely keep him and tell Yang Shiqi about it.

Now the crown prince Zhu Gaochi needs help the most, and Ye Xing is the person who helps him, when Ye Xing wants to leave, the prince will definitely feel lost, and at this time, he will ignore his hesitation because of a sudden insecurity.

If this is the case, as soon as Ye Xing proposed to leave, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Ye Aiqing is slow, I will tell you everything." ”

Ye Xing smiled faintly: "Then there is Prince Lao!" ”

The living room of the East Palace is very large, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi has already retired from everyone, at this time, there are only him and Ye Xing in the entire living room, the prince thought for a moment, and said: "Here's the thing, Yang Shiqi and a group of Wenchen are very unaccustomed to what Jinyiwei does, so they unite to tell me, and ask me to find a way to abolish Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei is his father's personal soldier, and he is also the eye of his father's understanding of the Ming Dynasty, how can he abolish it, after some discussion, We feel that Jinyiwei is making such a miasma now because of Ji Gang, so we can't abolish Jinyiwei, but we can find a way to deal with Ji Gang, and I also think that this is feasible, but if Ji Gang is willing to submit to me, I think there is still a way to rectify Jinyiwei, but after Ji Gang's birthday banquet, I also dispelled this idea. ”

"So, Yang Shiqi and the others were arrested because they wanted to deal with Ji Gang, but they were arrested by Ji Gang for a reason, right?"

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi nodded: "It should be so, but even if they are arrested, this Yang Shiqi should not admit that he killed someone." ”

Ye Xing pondered for a long time and said, "His Majesty the Crown Prince is discussing this matter with a group of ministers, I'm afraid it will leak out, right?" ”

The prince nodded: "Looking at the current situation, it should have been leaked out." ”

There is no so-called secret in the world at all, so it is not strange that the prince Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi and others discussed the matter of dealing with Ji Gang and was discovered, but this matter was known, and it would definitely be used, and now the emperor is still energetic, and the prince will probably have to wait some time to ascend the throne, and at this time, the prince will discuss secretly with a group of ministers, which will make the emperor suspicious.

After some consideration, Ye Xing seemed to have found a clue, Yang Shiqi did not kill anyone, but he admitted to killing people, for what, I am afraid it is to protect the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the literati who were imprisoned with him.

And the reason why Yang Shiqi did this is probably because Ji Gang told him the stakes of the two things, if the crime of forming a party for personal gain is implemented, the prince and the ministers will not have a good result, but if Yang Shiqi admits that he killed Li Shicheng, then Yang Shiqi is the only one who dies, and the prince and others can be spared.

It's just that doing so is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, and seeking skin with the tiger has always been a dangerous thing, so even if Yang Shiqi admits to killing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to save the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and his fellow Wenchen.

This was just a rough speculation in Ye Xing's mind, so he didn't tell the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, he just comforted Zhu Gaochi a few words, and then left the East Palace in a hurry.

If you want to save Yang Shiqi, I'm afraid you have to find the real murderer who killed Li Shicheng, but Ye Xing faintly felt that things would not be so simple, even if the murderer who killed Li Shicheng was found, this matter would be difficult to solve.

When the murderer of Li Shicheng was found, Li Shicheng's murder charge was clarified, but why did he confess his guilt, as long as the emperor traced it a little, he could trace Yang Shiqi and a group of ministers to the East Palace to discuss things with the prince.

As an emperor, Zhu Di is suspicious in nature, so in the end, Yang Shiqi and others may still be unable to escape their fate.

But no matter what, Ye Xing must first find out the murderer who killed Li Shicheng, otherwise there would really be no hope at all to save Yang Shiqi and the others.

It was already late at night, the night sky was dotted with a few stars, and the cries of crickets came from the grass on both sides of the road, which made this deserted street seem a little bit of life, but this vitality was too unsightly.

Ye Xing thought in his heart, is Yang Shiqi still alive?

When they returned to Zhongshan Palace, Hua Zhimeng and Di Xiaojie had already had dinner, and they also left food for Ye Xing, Ye Xing told a few of them about today's events while eating, and after listening to them, they all felt that it was too strange for Yang Shiqi to admit to killing, and they also agreed with Ye Xing's speculation, Yang Shiqi must have been threatened by Ji Gang, otherwise how could he admit to killing someone?

It's just that these are all speculations, and they have no way to find the murderer and rescue Yang Shiqi.

Ye Xing ate very little, and after the maid cleaned up the meal, Di Xiaojie asked curiously, "How does Brother Ye want to save that Yang Shiqi?" ”

Ye Xing was a little helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "I'm afraid it's unlikely from Yang Shiqi, now we can only investigate from the clues we have, and strive to find out the real murderer before Yang Shiqi is beheaded." ”

The crime of homicide is a major crime, and it stands to reason that it should be beheaded at noon, but there are exceptions, such as Yang Shiqi's case, because the emperor felt that this matter was strange, so he decided to ask for beheading after the autumn.

At this time, it was early autumn, and there was still some time before autumn, and these times were enough for Ye Xing and them.

I don't know when, a hook of crescent moon ran out from behind the thick clouds, but the thick clouds did not follow, and a faint cloud covered half of the moonlight, and the whole Jinling looked hazy and helpless under such a night.

Ye Xing and everyone rested in the courtyard of the Zhongshan Palace, and Ye Xing took advantage of this time to assign a task to Ai Fei'er, he asked Ai Fei'er to investigate the situation of Yang Shiqi's literati in Jinyiwei Prison, and maybe from those literati, some clues could be found.

For this kind of thing, Ai Fei'er readily agreed, because what he is best at is this kind of thing, and his light skills can come and go freely in Jinyiwei.
