Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 405: The mastermind (2)

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the hairpin!

After a stick of incense, the King of Dongping County entered the house where Concubine Meng was imprisoned.

Meng Fei first sneered: "What? Haven't found the real culprit yet?"

Concubine Meng and Emperor Yongjia were childhood sweethearts and went into and out of the Li family when they were young.

The King of Dongping County is six years younger than Emperor Yongjia, and has been a follower of Emperor Yongjia since he was a child. Concubine Meng knew him all too well. Even if the Duke of Dongping County was the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, Concubine Meng had no sense of reverence, and her words were sarcasm.

Dongping County King stared at Concubine Meng closely, and said a few words unexpectedly: "Don't say that Brother Kui is fine, even if something happens, it will not affect the status of the crown prince. The first prince has lost his right leg, what do you do? It's useless."

Concubine Meng: "..."

Concubine Meng was stabbed in the sore spot, her face turned pale, and the flames of anger showed in her eyes, as if she was going to swallow the Dongping County King alive.

Dongping County King has been Zongzheng for many years, in charge of all the royal clansmen, and I do not know how many cases large and small have been broken. After saying two sentences, seeing Concubine Meng's reaction, I knew it.

Concubine Meng should have nothing to do with this.

The Duke of Dongping didn't say much, so people came in, carefully questioned what Concubine Meng had done three days ago, and recorded them one by one. Then he went to Concubine Qin's house.

Several princes and concubines lived outside the palace and had a shallow foundation in the palace. Nine out of ten who set up this game quietly are the concubines of the harem.

Young concubines who have never had children can also be excluded. As for Wang Jieyu, it was pulled out by Queen Qiao alone. There is only one princess under her knees, and she has long been attached to the East Palace.

The biggest suspect is Concubine Meng, Concubine Qin, Concubine Su.

Compared to the grumpy Concubine Meng, Concubine Qin was much calmer and gentler. Seeing the Duke of Dongping County, he said without waiting for him to ask: "Yesterday I stayed in the Shouning Palace all day, and I never left the Queen Mother. I didn't know about the murder of Brother Jue until I was brought into the East Palace. .”

Dongping County King glanced at him and said lightly: "Concubine Qin doesn't have to talk to the Queen Mother. If you stay in Shouning Palace, you can also send someone to act in secret."

Concubine Qin was still calm: "If you don't believe me, you can have people search the palace. All the palace servants and servants around me may wish to interrogate them one by one."

The Duke of Dongping looked at Concubine Qin for a moment, then turned around and called someone in for questioning.

Then, the Duke of Dongping went to see Concubine Su again.

Compared to the arrogant Concubine Meng and the calm Concubine Qin, Concubine Su looked much more pitiful. Helpless with a face of being wronged and wronged, her eyes turned red when she opened her mouth, and her voice kept trembling: "Your Majesty, I live in Yihua Palace on weekdays, and I never leave the palace except to ask for peace."

"I didn't know about the murder of Brother Jue from the beginning to the end!"

"Please, you must find out what's going on, and I'll be innocent!"

Speaking, tears rolled down one by one.

Although she is in her thirties, Concubine Su is well maintained and looks at most in her thirties. A pair of willow eyebrows knitted together, tears like pearls, so pitiful.

As long as it is a man, few can resist it.

The Duke of Dongping coughed, and his expression softened a lot: "Please calm down, Concubine Su. The King of this county has been ordered by the Queen to investigate this matter thoroughly, and will not let anyone behind the scenes be spared, and will never wrong anyone. Concubine Su has a clear conscience, why should I be afraid."

Concubine Su cried for a while, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said in a low voice, "The prince said yes."

Dongping County King said again: "Everything you have done will definitely leave traces. As long as you check carefully, this person behind the scenes will not be able to escape."

Concubine Su's body trembled invisibly.

The Duke of Dongping glanced at Concubine Su, walked out, and whispered to the people outside the door: "Ask carefully."

……

There are always traces of what has been done.

A person with a guilty conscience will definitely be able to see the difference.

The Duke of Dongping looked around, and there was already a vague guess in his heart.

In the next half of the day, the Duke of Dongping County focused on interrogating the palace staff in Yihua Palace. People in the palace usually do some rough work at most, and they can't help but torture and interrogate them.

Soon, someone from the palace revealed that the maid of the Yihua Palace, Zitan, had a younger sister named Zisu. This perilla belongs to the sewing room, and there is a friend in the palace who is the servant of the king.

The Duke of Dongping immediately ordered the red sandalwood and Zisu to come over. After several tortures, the dying Zisu finally confessed. It was Zitan who instructed her to bribe the king's servants and attacked Brother Kui'er and Sister Xuan.

However, it wasn't her who killed the king's housekeeper. It was the red sandalwood who deceived the king's housekeeper to the side of the pond.

Zitan heard what Zisu said, but did not deny it, opened her mouth and said, "That's right, I did it all by myself from beginning to end, and Concubine Su didn't know about it. If I want to kill or cut, I recognize it. "

Dongping County King sneered: "What a loyal servant! Say these words to the Queen!"

Before she finished speaking, Queen Qiao, who was full of anger and cold eyes, walked in.

The Duke of Dongping County immediately stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Qi Empress, the red sandalwood has all been confessed. It was the red sandalwood that she ordered Zisu to bribe the king's servant and kill the king's servant. She also said , everything was done by her, concubine Su didn't know about it..."

Queen Qiao's expression became more and more stern: "Record everything they said into a confession, and let them draw and detain them. Then, they will be executed on the spot."

Dongping County King was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously: "Don't you need to keep confronting Concubine Su?"

Confrontation?

Of course not.

Queen Qiao said coldly, "I just need to know who did it."

She said that whoever dared to hurt Brother Jue would kill her.

However, I have to wait for Lu Mingyu to return to the palace and give Lu Mingyu an explanation before starting.

……

Outside Zhengde Gate.

This battle has been fought all day since last night.

It was getting dark again at this time.

The Yan army's barracks ~IndoMTL.com~ is full of corpses. There were Yan soldiers, and there were also Great Wei soldiers. There are also some poor innocent people who were originally imprisoned in the military camp and died tragically at the hands of the mad Yan soldiers when the camp roared.

The Yan soldiers were killed and wounded, and some were exhausted and lost their fighting spirit. They dropped their weapons and knelt down and surrendered.

Lieutenant General Liu fought for a day and was covered in blood, looking terrifying. He strode to General Liang's side, cupped his hands and said, "General, the Yan soldiers have already descended!"

General Liang arrived at noon with his troops to fight in person, also covered in blood. Of course, most of them are the blood of the Yan soldiers who were slaughtered: "General Ben's order, all descending soldiers hang their weapons and lock them in one place. Then count and clean the barracks."

The soldiers killed and wounded on both sides should be counted, and the remaining civilians should be settled.

The most important thing is to welcome the princess back to the palace.

Lieutenant General Liu was ordered to retreat one by one.

General Liang walked quickly to the outside of the central tent of the Yan army barracks, and raised his hands: "The last general asks to see the princess!"
