Chapter 874 Rush to Investigate.

Ye Xing glanced at He Zhongyu, then looked at Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, and said: "Just now the king of Han said that he would hand over this matter to Dali Temple, and this king has no objection, but now that I have examined the body, I think that a minister was poisoned to death in the mansion of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which is not a trivial matter, so it is more reasonable to hand over this matter to the emperor for arrangement." ”

As soon as Ye Xing said this, the face of the Han King Zhu Gaoxi immediately turned red, and he was angry, he looked at Ye Xing for a long time, and finally had to smile slightly: "Since King Daming wants to report to the emperor, then report to the emperor!" ”

At this time, Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, immediately stood up and said, "I must report to the emperor, and I will also go and tell the emperor about this." ”

Everyone naturally understood what Ji Gang meant, if Ye Xing went to see the emperor alone, he would definitely not be at ease, so he also had to see the emperor, only in this way would he feel at ease.

Regarding Ji Gang's request, Ye Xing just smiled slightly.

The ministers still stayed in the Ji Mansion and did not leave, because the matter was not over yet, maybe the murderer was between them, and if they wanted to leave, they had to wait for Ye Xing and Ji Gang to meet the emperor.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, Ye Xing and Ji Gang hurriedly felt the palace, the palace was a little stuffy, the emperor was sitting next to the water pavilion in the imperial garden to enjoy the coolness, and suddenly found that Ye Xing and Ji Gang came to find him at the same time, and he felt very strange, and he knew that Ji Gang had a birthday today.

An emperor always knows more things than others think.

After Ye Xing and Ji Gang knelt down to greet Zhu Di, Zhu Di asked with some curiosity: "Today is Ji Aiqing's birthday, why did you come here with me?" ”

Ji Gang and Ye Xing looked at each other for a while, and they both wanted to speak first, but as soon as the two of them were about to speak, they both stopped again, and the two said together, it was too disrespectful to the emperor.

Seeing this, Zhu Di pointed at Ye Xing and said, "You say it first!" ”

Now Zhu Di asked Ye Xing to say first, Ye Xing naturally would not refuse, Ye Xing arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, here's the thing, today is the birthday of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lord Ji Gang, I and a group of officials went to celebrate the birthday, but who would have thought that halfway through the wine, a person named Li Shicheng who joined the army was suddenly poisoned and died, and now the body is still in the Ji Mansion, the two of us came here to ask the emperor to show us, how to deal with this matter?" ”

After Zhu Di listened, he said without thinking: "You still need to ask, of course you will send someone to investigate!" ”

Ye Xing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the matter is difficult here, because the murder happened in the house of Lord Ji Gangji, so I think it is most appropriate for me to investigate, but Lord Ji has to investigate by himself, Weichen feels that this is inappropriate, but Lord Ji insists on this, there is no way, we have to come to ask the emperor to decide." ”

Ye Xing's sentences all have the meaning of derogating Ji Gang, and focus on saying that several murders occurred in Ji Mansion, according to normal thinking, where the murder occurred, most of the people in that place were entangled, and the murder occurred in Ji Mansion, then Ji Gang and this murder may be implicated, Ye Xing gave Zhu Di a psychological hint, and after Zhu Di understood, he naturally would not let Ji Gang interfere.

However, as soon as Ye Xing finished speaking, Ji Gang immediately knelt down and defended: "Your Majesty, then Master Li Shicheng died in my mansion, and Weichen is responsible for finding out the murderer, otherwise how can I return the innocence of my Ji Mansion, and ask the emperor to hand over the matter to Weichen for investigation, Weichen, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, can still easily solve a murder case." ”

This can stump Zhu Di, originally, he is partial to Ye Xing, but Jinyiwei is his own pro-army, if it weren't for his own pro-army to investigate the case and spread it, how would the tens of thousands of Jinyiwei think of themselves, they would feel that their emperor didn't trust them at all?

Whether they are trustworthy or not is another matter, but as the emperor, he can't make those brocade guards feel cold and think that he doesn't trust them.

Emperors have the difficulties of emperors, and they often think too much.

Ye Xing saw Zhu Di hesitating, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, originally, Zhu Di was very suspicious of Ji Gang, and now that Ji Fu has a life case, it stands to reason that Zhu Di should exclude Ji Gang from investigating this matter, but now that Zhu Di is hesitating, that is, he is very embarrassed.

After a long time, Zhu Di looked at Ye Xing and Ji Gang and said: "This matter makes it difficult for me to choose, I think it is not like this, the two of you will investigate this case separately, I also want to see if it is my Jinyi Wei who is doing things neatly, or the king of the world who walks the Ming Dynasty and decides the case like a god, what do you think?" ”

Now that the emperor has said so, Ye Xing, what else do they have to say, there is no way, they have to nod in agreement.

After leaving the palace, Ye Xing and Ji Gang's faces were not good-looking, and now that the two of them are investigating the case together, I am afraid that everyone will think that the other party is in the way, but now they have no way.

The thunder rang out three times, but the rain never came, and I don't know if the rain will come down.

Returned to the Ji Mansion again, there was some noise in the Ji Mansion, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the Han King Zhu Gaoxi had already gone back, and now only their subordinates and the officials who remained in the mansion were their subordinates, they saw that Ye Xing and Ji Gang were back, and hurriedly greeted each other to inquire, what should I do about this matter.

Ye Xing told everyone what the emperor meant, and then asked several officials to carry the body to Dali Temple, Ye Xing did this in accordance with etiquette, so Ji Gang didn't say anything, and then, Ye Xing said to He Zhongyu: "I want to know what happened at that time, so I also asked Lord He to talk about the things at that time carefully." ”

He Zhongyu glanced at Ye Xing, then nodded and said: "Here's the thing, Li Shicheng and I have been friends for many years, but he has been at the border, I have been in the court, and now I met at Lord Ji's birthday banquet, so I thought about talking and drinking a glass of wine, but who knew that as soon as I came with wine, Master Li just stood up, he suddenly fell to the ground and fell unconscious." ”

At this time, the other guests also nodded and said that this was indeed the case, as soon as Li Shicheng got up, he suddenly fell to the ground and died, and the glass of wine had not even touched his mouth, so he died.

Things happened so strangely, Ye Xing nodded slightly, and then didn't ask anything, and at this time, Ji Gang had already asked all the guests to take the throne.

Seeing Ji Gang like this, Ye Xing felt very strange, he thought that Ji Gang had to investigate this matter for any purpose, but now what he is doing is exactly what Ye Xing wants to do, does Ji Gang really want to investigate this matter?

Just when Ye Xing was puzzled, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the rain began to fall.
