Chapter 421: Fried glutinous rice **** (3)

Wen Mingtang knew that today's delivery of tea and snacks was hot, and on the way here, he also imagined several situations that he would encounter when he came to Qianyuan Hall: She entered the hall with tea and snacks, and faced Duke Yasukuni, maybe Duke Yasukuni She would rise up against the crime and make an immediate attack; or he would speak sarcastically without saying a word; she had even thought about the idea of him making her "stay away" from Lin Fei with sarcasm, but... she hadn't thought about the situation in front of her.

Next to the case was Duke Yasukuni, who was resting his mind or dozing off with his chin closed with one hand. Behind him, just one step away, was Zhao Mengzhuo who had been pretending to turn over his corpse the day Zhao Mengzhuo fell from the building. The court order official in the usual style had a bruised face and sat there with his tongue sticking out, with a black belt wrapped around his neck. As for the source of the belt...Wen Mingtang looked at Duke Yasukuni's loose official robe and closed his eyes.

The patrolling guards in the palace also rushed over when they heard the noise. The guard in the head obviously did not expect to see such a situation: the source of the sound came from the Qianyuan Hall, and when His Majesty summoned his ministers to enter the palace, he would be there. Here, generally speaking, even if you want to do something, you will not choose to do evil here under His Majesty's nose.

Therefore, when they heard the exclamation, they thought it was an accident of falling or injury, and even sent a guard to the imperial medical office to invite the imperial physician who is the best at treating bruises in case of emergency , but he didn't want to wait until he arrived at the Qianyuan Hall to find out that there was no need to invite the imperial physician from the imperial medical office. It was Wu Zuo who should be invited.

An important official of the imperial court died, only Duke Jing was present, and the same woman standing outside the hall, there was a pile of tea and snacks under her feet, she seemed to be here to deliver refreshments, the scream just now came from her. from.

But... Seeing that the woman was not dressed like a palace maid, the commander of the guards did not dare to make any claims, so he just ordered people to guard in front of the Qianyuan Hall, while he rushed to see His Majesty.

Since this happened in the palace, His Majesty must be invited to make the decision.

Wen Mingtang was taken aside by the guards, and in less than a cup of tea, the new emperor appeared in front of Qianyuan Hall.

This was the first time Wen Mingtang saw the rumored new emperor. He was handsome, and he matched the beautiful and dignified queen very well. Looking closely at the facial features, there are actually some shadows of the former emperor, but from the outside, the eyes are bright and firm, which is completely different from the listless feeling of the former emperor.

After kowtowing and kneeling together with all the guards, the new emperor only looked at the situation in the hall for a moment, then turned his head to look at Wen Mingtang, and asked, "Have you been in?"

Wen Mingtang shook his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, never!"

The new emperor nodded, and asked the guard again: "Have you ever gone in?"

The guard shook his head: "Reporting to Your Majesty, because human life is of great importance, I dare not step into it at will, lest I destroy the evidence and clues."

"Good job!" Hearing this, the new emperor praised him, then looked into the hall, and said, "Let the people from Dali Temple and Zhang Ren from the Criminal Department come over and have a look!"

Although the incident happened suddenly, His Majesty summoned him for such a major event. Therefore, in less than an hour, the people from Dali Temple and the official named Zhang Rang from the Ministry of Punishment appeared in Qianyuan Hall outside.

Because no one else entered, the hall still remained as it was when the incident happened. Looking in from the outside of the hall: the empty hall looks clean and messy.

The reason for the clutter is that Lord Yasukuni sat next to the table and Chang Shi with a bruised face not far from him. The dead Chang Shi lay there, his robes were crumpled, and his two official boots, which were difficult to put on and off, were left behind. Not far from the feet, there was some indescribable chaos.

There is no **** smell that can be seen in ordinary murder scenes in the hall, and it is much cleaner than ordinary murder scenes. Even whether it is the way of death or the murderer, it seems to be "clearly visible".

Hearing the commotion outside, Lord Jingguo raised his head and looked at the crowd outside the hall: Zhang Rang, who was dressed in the official robes of officials, was very conspicuous in the crowd. He had worked in Dali Temple with the dead Zhao Mengzhuo. His colleague, because he was more talented in punishment, was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.

His investigative skills are naturally not weak, but compared to Lin Fei from Dali Temple nearby, he is a bit inferior after all.

The reason why His Majesty transferred Zhang Rang here...Mr. Jingguo gave a self-deprecating smile: Right now he is the suspect in the killing routine. As his second grandson, Lin Fei naturally wants to avoid suspicion.

Lin Fei, who was standing outside the hall, looked at Duke Jing from a distance and bowed to give a salute, and then said to Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu, and Wu Bucai who came behind him: "I need to avoid suspicion in this case, and I will wait for Master Zhang to dispatch me!"

Zhang Rang on the side bowed his hands to him, and walked in.

Lin Fei stood outside the hall, followed their movements to see the situation inside the hall, then went to the side to meet Wen Mingtang.

Before Lin Fei could speak, Wen Mingtang began to speak: "As soon as I came, I saw Lord Yasukuni closed his eyes and didn't know if he was resting or dozing off, and the dead lord fell down beside the pillar a step away from him. My face was bruised and purple, my tongue was sticking out, and a belt was wrapped around my neck. I was frightened at that time, and the tea in my hand fell to the ground. Lord Yasukuni opened his eyes, saw that it was me, and was about to have an attack. I was completely dumbfounded at that time , pointing at his back and screaming, he just turned around, as if he had just seen the lord, called the lord's name, the lord's body slid down, and then... the guards came, Duke Yasukuni I haven't moved anymore, just waiting...just waiting for you to come."

Wen Mingtang described the situation at that time in great detail. After he finished speaking, he looked around again. Seeing that the guards were far away, he approached him and said in a low voice, "I'm here today to deliver some refreshments. In fact, the empress is with Concubine Jing." There are arrangements there."

Hearing this, Lin Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, paused, looked up at her and said, "I don't know why no one is guarding the Qianyuan Hall today, and that's why."

Wen Mingtang gave a "hmm" and said again: "The empress asked... The empress said that she asked me to deliver tea to test Duke Jing, while Concubine Jing... threatened Zhao Sishan's leaving the palace, and ordered me to come. I'm here for some refreshments."

Although I have a good impression of the queen, but it is about the murder case, Wen Mingtang naturally wants to make it clear that the test of Lord Yasukuni is what the empress said. Evidence is needed.

Lin Fei's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but Liu Yuan came out from the Qianyuan Hall at this time, walked to Lin Fei, and said, "Lin Shaoqing, that Lord Chang was indeed strangled to death by his belt. Yes, the embroidery on the belt has been repaired, and according to Duke Yasukuni's confirmation, it belongs to him."

Lin Fei said "Yes", looked at Liu Yuan, and waited for him to continue.

Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei with complicated eyes, paused, and continued: "Looking at the scars on his hands, he must have struggled violently before he died, and the movement should not be small."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Lin Fei, even Wen Mingtang secretly said "Oops"!

The posture of supporting the chin predestined that Lord Yasukuni would not close his eyes and rest his mind. Just like the sound of Wen Mingtang's tea cup falling to the ground would wake him up. That being the case, Chang Shi was strangled to death beside him, and the Yasukuni Guild couldn't hear him a step away?
