Emperor Rui pinched his eyebrows. Of these three sons, he said he framed him, and he said he framed him. Who framed whom?

Emperor Rui looked at Zhuo Lingchu: You said everything was caused by your fifth brother, prove it yourself!

Zhuo Lingchu laughed silently, stood up, and said respectfully to Emperor Rui: "Since the fifth brother thinks that there are not enough human witnesses, I will offer a physical evidence."

Zhuo Chengyi looked at Zhuo Lingchu, "Brother Emperor, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Zhuo Chengyi's eyes narrowed slightly. Although his expression was calm at the moment, his heart almost jumped into his throat.

Although he didn't know much about his second brother, Zhuo Lingchu's reputation was outstanding and he must not be underestimated.

Zhuo Lingchu must have mastered something to identify him unscrupulously in the court.

What did he miss?

Zhuo Chengyi wanted to take a look at Ye Mingzhi at this moment and ask him what went wrong with his men, but he couldn't. At that moment, the eyes of all the civil and military officials and his father were gathered on him, and most of them were looking at him. Waiting to see his jokes!

Zhuo Lingchu raised his head and said to Emperor Rui: "Father, I request you to search the home of the cabinet minister Ye Mingzhi."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Zhuo Chengyi turned pale, but Ye Mingzhi was so angry that he almost lost his balance. Fortunately, he was helped by a colleague on the side, so he didn't fall down. Fell on top of the main hall.

Ye Mingzhi stabilized his mind and took a step forward: "Your Highness, what do you mean? How could the old minister be involved in the assassination of Shansui Mansion? Your Highness, are you mistaken?"

Zhuo Lingchu raised his eyebrows, "Master Ye, what are you guilty of? It's just a search of your home, not a ransack. In order to prove your innocence, you should agree!"

Ye Mingzhi's tone was a little anxious, "But, Your Majesty, your opening your mouth will make hundreds of people in our Ye family feel frightened!"

Zhuo Lingchu was very embarrassed and proposed a compromise plan, "Master Ye, let's do this. I won't embarrass you. The imperial guards sent will not enter the backyard of your Ye Mansion. Master Ye, this is feasible. Bar?"

Ye Mingzhi's body trembled, "This..."

Zhuo Lingchu had already retreated and settled for the next best thing. If he refused again at this moment, it would be a cover-up.

The arrowhead in his hand was destroyed, so he was not afraid of being searched. He was just shocked. Why did Zhuo Lingchu search his Ye Mansion? Could there be a spy in Ye Mansion?

Zhuo Lingchu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Chengyi, whose complexion had returned to normal, and then looked at Emperor Rui on the dragon chair, the urging in his eyes was particularly obvious.

Emperor Rui really didn't want to get involved with this matter. To put it in a big way, it was actually a dispute between the princes. In a small way, the second child's woman didn't get hurt at all. However, with the second child's current temperament, if he were... This matter has stirred up trouble, and I can't guarantee that if Qi Laoer is angered, he will make some big noise again.

Although he despised how important that woman was to his second son, he knew it. It is said that brothers are like brothers and sisters, and women are like clothes, but for the second child, he is like brothers like clothes, and women are like hearts.

At this moment, Emperor Rui was eager to put an end to the Shansui Mansion assassination case. In his heart, the most satisfactory result was that the fifth prince Zhuo Chengyi was the real mastermind behind the scenes, because he was partial to Zhuo Taining and feared Zhuo Ling. At first, Zhuo Chengyi was the easiest to handle.

It's enough to ground him for a few months. Anyway, it didn't lead to any unforgivable mistake.

As for Ye Mingzhi, he is Zhuo Chengyi's uncle. He has a close relationship with Zhuo Chengyi on weekdays. It can't be called a clique for personal gain. But since the second brother pointed the finger at him, it means that this person has indeed done something behind the scenes that cannot be brought to light. If things are like this, he can kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and beat those who are clique-like behind the prince's back.

"Since Ye Aiqing insists that she is innocent, the second brother's suggestion can help Ye Aiqing clear her grievances. According to my will, ten forbidden troops will be sent to search the Ye Mansion. Do not disturb the family members of the manor, and act in a low-key and orderly manner. , don’t make too big a move to attract criticism!”

Emperor Rui gave Ye Mingzhi enough face. Not only could Ye Mingzhi not refuse, but he even thanked him.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Emperor Rui waved his hand and asked Zhuo Chengyi to stand aside, "Which of your beloved ladies has something to report?"

We had only watched half of the play, and although the civil and military officials were still not satisfied, they quickly returned to work.

Several people one after another reported several important national affairs, asking Emperor Rui to make a decision in person. Zhuo Lingchu felt a little sleepy while listening, but due to his status as the prince, he had to pretend to be serious and cold. Carefully observing and studying Emperor Rui's every move, and listening carefully to the political affairs reported by the courtiers, he looked like a qualified prince.

Zhuo Chengyi, who was standing opposite him, although he had just experienced a big storm in his heart, he pretended to be more serious than Zhuo Lingchu, which made Zhuo Lingchu couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

He, the fifth brother, is really good at disguising, so just pretend, and I will tear off your harmless façade in a moment, and expose your desire for power in your bones in front of everyone.

Half an hour later, the civil and military officials at this moment had nothing to say and nothing to say. They just wanted to delay the time and wait for the imperial guards to return. Everyone is thinking, this Ye Mansion is not far from Xingming Palace. Why haven't you come back after so long? Did you really find something?

Emperor Rui was getting a little impatient after waiting. He took a sip of the tea handed to him by the chamberlain next to him, and then the chamberlain outside the palace came to report it.

"Your Majesty! Li Qing, a member of the Imperial Guard, begs to see you."

"Quickly, let him enter the palace!"

The moment Li Qing, the imperial guard, entered the hall, he noticed the looks full of meanings from the people in the hall. He took a deep breath, strode to the center of the hall, and looked at Emperor Rui on the dragon throne. Kneeling heavily, he took out something from his arms and raised his hands above his head.

"Your Majesty, I have found a suspicious item in Mr. Ye's study."

A servant immediately stepped forward, took the arrowhead from Li Qing's hand, and was about to present it to Emperor Rui, but was stopped by Zhuo Lingchu.

"Father, the ravines on the arrowheads do contain black powder from burned iron."

Zhuo Lingchu handed the arrowhead back to the chamberlain and motioned for him to hand it over to Emperor Rui for inspection.

There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by a shout from Ye Mingzhi.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Although Emperor Rui had expected this scene to happen, he still couldn't control his anger when he saw the legendary physical evidence with his own eyes.

"Ye Mingzhi, you are so brave!"

Ye Mingzhi trembled and cried out, "I don't know why that arrow cluster appeared in my study! I have never seen this thing before!"
