Chapter 55: The Case of Walking in the Water (1)

The Supreme Emperor in Chang'an did not know that the King of Wu Li Ke of Fengzhou would be faced with such a great crisis. Although four days have passed since the incident of water flowing in the Chang'an Palace, the people of Chang'an still talked about how big and spectacular the fire was that day, illuminating the entire Chang'an City...

After four days, the Ministry of Justice's investigation gradually became well-off. They found that the silver hairpin of Zheng Jinlan was made of Liuji Gold and Silver Shop in East and West, because every gold and silver jewelry would have a logo left by the gold shop. The style of this silver hairpin, Liuji Gold and Silver Shop, gave another explanation: it was made by Yan Huifei on December 14, the second year of Zhenguan.

The case is confusing, and all kinds of evidence point to Concubine Yan Hui, one of the four concubines.

"But...who is the murderer? According to the son's idea, Zheng Jinlan had cracks in her right leg bone and mud in the cracks of her nails, and she died in the palace.

Then, because the deceased Zheng Jinlan was killed in the Forbidden Garden Garden, he struggled hard while dying, with his nails pressed against the ground, which can explain the fact that there was soil in the nails. There was a crack in the right leg bone, which can be inferred that the person who killed someone to silence must be a burly person, and then the innocent eunuch Zhou Xi and Zheng Jinlan were killed by themselves.

It seems that everything makes sense, but Duke Zhao...who is the burly man behind the scenes? And... the silver hairpin belongs to Concubine Yan Hui, how could it fall into Zheng Jinlan's hands?"

In Zichen Palace, the Supreme Emperor looked at Changsun Wuji and smiled contemptuously.

Although the Supreme Emperor believes that he is not a master of case recommendation, he has read suspense works such as the young man Bao Qingtian and the famous detective Conan in his previous life. It is easy to put forward various reasonable speculations.

In ancient times, except for professionals like Song Ci, they basically had no contact with such things, and the scientific examination also tested how they judged cases rather than how to analyze them.

"Since the Supreme Emperor has thought about it, why not say it out and let the ministers... have a long experience!" Changsun Wuji was confident and fearless. The phoenix with hair was not as good as a chicken. How could the powerless Emperor compare to the prime minister of his country?

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor has much more favor and trust in him than the Supreme Emperor...

"Maybe Zheng Jinlan stole Yan Huifei's silver hairpin and was accidentally discovered by Zhou Xi. Both of them died after being entangled. As for the mud between their fingers, can't they be entangled from the garden to the palace? As for the cracks in the right leg bone, it's very simple. Perhaps the beams and pillars fell down when the palace was burned and pressed on her legs..." Li Yuan said.

He snorted coldly in his heart: "I want to make contributions, but I don't even have any choice!"

Changsun Wuji is now favored by Li Shimin. In a few years, when Lingyan Pavilion is established, Changsun Wuji will enter as the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion.

Although the ranking of Lingyan Pavilion is related to its achievements, it is more closely related to Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji had long been in the same power as him, Li Yuan. If he had made a successful contribution, the Supreme Emperor would really not have to live.

"This is a nonsense. The Ministry of Justice investigated for three days before it was inferred. The Supreme Emperor, please... be more steady!" Changsun Wuji said coldly.

"It's okay, auxiliary machine, what the father said is right, and this possibility cannot be ruled out." Li Shimin laughed and said smoothly.

"Yes, brother, sister also thinks that this is possible." Changsun Wugui walked in from the door, his face a little pale. Although he had drunk several decoctions prescribed by the imperial physician, she suffered from qi disease and inhaled a lot of thick smoke, so she was still very weak.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wugui with some pity, helped her sit down, and then said seriously: "The Ministry of Justice's investigation is not effective, so it should be punished, but... I think this case is too difficult, so I will not punish you for now. However, I will limit you to the result within five days, otherwise..."

He looked ruthless, stared at the officials of the Ministry of Justice present, and shouted: "All salaries were suspended and demoted, all those involved in this case, the three tribes of the Yi tribe! This account must be calculated on you guys who are not doing well."

During the Zhenguan period, he had a light tax and levy. After the autumn, he had to ask him again and again whether there was a reason for his death. Officials had to ask him three times before he could decide whether he would be executed.

The rule of Chengkang was peaceful in the world, and it was not used for more than 40 years. The rule of Zhenguan was even more prosperous!

However, this case involves the royal family, which almost harmed Changsun Wugui. Then Li Shimin is not a mud. Since it is impossible to determine who the murderer is, there is only one way to prevent danger - kill all of them, kill all the people involved in this case, kill all the harems, and kill them to let his queen and Guanyin maid have no worries, and can sleep peacefully...

This is his duty as a husband and emperor.

Love the people as much as your son, but it is just as it is. Who cares about the feelings of the people, especially when there is a threat to the people in power, he will destroy them without worry, because love is a false destiny.

"Three tribes..." Li Yuan said silently. This is the most inhumane thing about the ancient punishment. In order to establish absolute prestige and absolute rights, the rebels have worries, so it is just a word for killing!

It is no different from filling a woman in the Jiaofangsi and becoming a prostitute.

And what he wants to change is these dregs.

The case must be investigated clearly, otherwise the three tribes will often involve hundreds of people, and even thousands of people will fall to the ground and become the souls of the dead.

"I thought that the case was too difficult to rely on the Ministry of Justice alone, and Dali Temple needs to be dispatched to investigate together. The Dali Temple's duties are in charge of the trial of the criminal case..." Li Yuan said.

Dali Temple is equivalent to the Supreme People's Court of later generations. However, unlike the court, it still has some of the powers of the police station, but this power is often replaced by the Ministry of Justice.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Supreme Emperor proposed the joint investigation by Dali Temple.

Li Shimin frowned and nodded. Now he can only treat the dead. The two departments supervise each other and monitor each other.

"Assisted, according to the emperor's will, the case will be investigated jointly by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. I will have to produce the result within five days. If it cannot be produced after five days... Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to lean over to receive the order, but his heart was filled with depression and cursed: "Old guy, if you succeed, you will live a good life in a few days. I will watch you enter the imperial tomb with your own eyes and cover the last handful of soil!"

After the officials of the Ministry of Justice left, Changsun Wugui coughed a few times and said softly: "Your Majesty, the three tribes of Yi have passed, and the punishments that the three years of hard work in Zhenguan will be destroyed."

"Are you okay with Guanyin maid?" Li Shimin's cold eyes showed soft light, sighed, and said quietly: "I don't want to do this either...but this world is so ruthless, and the knife is not in my hands. All I can do is to twist the tip of the knife with my hand at the moment when the tip of the knife is coming, even though...scars are left in the palm of my hand."
