Jing Wenhao took the talisman pretending to be surprised, and comforted him: "Grandpa, why should you be like this? I am not a heartless person. It just so happened that Xie Aiqing just sent her younger brother from Dali Temple to the palace today, and now he is in the clan mansion It's closed. It's not early at the moment, grandpa will have dinner with me first, and we have to discuss everything after dinner."

Seeing that Jing Wenhao's expression softened, General Xiao felt relieved and sat back on the chair again.Probably thinking that the situation is stable for the time being, he took a long sigh of relief and picked up the teacup just now, ready to drink a sip of tea to calm down the shock.At this moment, the palace people hurried in from outside, saying that the head of the clan's mansion urgently asked to see Jing Wenhao.

As soon as the chief steward entered the room, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, his voice was trembling, and he was greatly frightened when he heard it, and said: "Report to the emperor, something is wrong. My lord, my lord committed suicide in the clan mansion and died. "

"What? How could it be, how could it be possible?" Before Jing Wenhao could speak in the future, General Xiao couldn't help but roared twice.

"My lord was in good condition after being sent here today, and he was very friendly with the people below. The lord said he was sympathetic to them and would not let them follow, so the people below withdrew. Not long after, the lord sent someone to send a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The lord requested Of course, the subordinate officer complied, and immediately sent someone to send it to him, and then retreated at his request. The prince lacked guards, and as a result, it was only after the routine inspection after the change of defense that the prince was found dead."

"Presumptuous!" Jing Wenhao casually picked up the paperwork on the table and threw it next to the supervisor, "There is nothing in the Zongren Mansion. If you kill yourself, you tell me how to kill yourself! Are the people in the Zongren Mansion all daring now? , such a big talk!"

"Returning to the emperor, the floor of the dungeon of the clan's mansion is a sandstone slab, which is very hard. The prince, he should have grabbed the ground with his head, and blood flowed all over the cell. What I said is true, I dare not deceive the king. .”

"Absurd, absurd!" General Xiao pulled his chest with one hand. At this time, he no longer had the wonder he had when he first entered the palace.

"Grandpa, don't worry, take care of yourself, and lead the way. I'm going to go to the clan's mansion myself." Jing Wenhao went to help General Xiao after speaking, but the general's attitude was not friendly, and he looked more like being dragged by the emperor forcibly walking.When the group walked out, the emperor gave Xie Xuan a look, signaling him to follow, Xie Xuan naturally did not dare to disobey his orders.Besides, he was really curious at this time, even if there was no foreshadowing, he did not believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world, Jing Wenxi was sent to the palace with his front foot, and then committed suicide with his back foot.If he really had such a backbone, he would not have put all the blame on Yi Wang when he was in Dali Temple, and tried his best to protect himself.Not to mention that the emperor just told him today that he would help them solve this trouble.

A group of people walked like flying to the cell of the Zongren Mansion, and the cubicle where Jing Wenxi was imprisoned was already full of people.Jing Wenxi's body had been straightened, beside it was a pool of blood that was about to dry up, and the scar on his head was shocking.Just now when he entered the palace with him, he was still a living person who could shout and make trouble. Now his body was already cold, and his lips were livid on the side. Seeing this scene, Xie Xuan not only shuddered.On the small table next to the corpse, there was a piece of letter paper pressed with a paperweight, and something was written on it.

Jing Wenhao signaled Xie Xuan to go over, Xie Xuan picked up the letter paper and said, "Your Majesty, this is the prince's letter of repentance."

"Repentance letter?" Jing Wenhao said, "Read it."

"The emperor's brother personally. The emperor's brother and I are of the same blood. I was protected by the emperor's brother when I was young, but my intentions were not right. I listened to the slanderous slander to harm the emperor's brother, seize the throne, and replace him. And punish him. I am now in prison, and every time I think about it, I am extremely regretful, but I have no face to face my brother. This crime should not be forgiven, and I can only sue my ancestors with my death. My younger brother Jing Wenxi, the last pen." Xie Xuan read slowly over.

"Silly brother, silly brother." Jing Wenhao already knew what was written in the letter. In fact, he wrote the letter.Speaking of which, he has loved this younger brother since he was a child, and he often helped him with his homework to deceive the master when he was a child. It is precisely this way that Jing Wenxi's handwriting is so smooth today.But what should be done is always to be done, I saw that he raised his sleeve to cover his face with one hand, a slight trembling could be seen on his shoulder, and his whole body seemed to be swallowed by sadness.

Xie Xuan suppressed his curiosity and said, "The emperor's condolences."

Seeing Jing Wenxi's body with his own eyes, General Xiao felt a little more grief, stepped forward to snatch the letter of repentance from Xie Xuan's hand, and then spewed a mouthful of blood on the spot, staining the letter red.General Xiao held the letter with one hand, pointed at Jing Wenhao with the other, and tremblingly said: "You, you..."

General Xiao collapsed before he could finish a complete sentence. The audience had already collapsed, so there was no need for the play to continue.Jing Wenhao ordered two imperial physicians to send General Xiao back to the Xiao Mansion in the capital, and then gave some instructions to the stewards of the clan mansion, asking them to issue a notice and put today's facts into the case, and the matter is over. .

Xie Xuan returned to Dali Temple with the news of Jing Wenxi's death. A few days ago, he said that the case was complicated because King Yi was willing to bear all the guilt and tried to protect him, but today Jing Wenhao did what he said for them. Solved the trouble, or in an extremely tough way.When he thought of Jing Wenxi's pale face and the wound on his head, he felt startled, but naturally he couldn't reveal too much when he returned to Dali Temple, just committing suicide in fear of crime was enough.Once Jing Wenxi died, the trial of the case was easy. First, King Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, and was in pain, scolding Jing Wenhao in prison, while the rest, especially Xie Xuan, who brought him from the gambling house and underground bank yesterday, had no difficulty. Those who came back all dared not hide any more, and confessed one after another.This is the smoothest trial of Xie Xuan's case in the days since he entered Dali Temple.

Dali Temple has been extremely busy these past few days, but Xie Xuan was very abnormal and took Li Zhiyuan to leave work early and return to Xie's Mansion.Along the way, Li Zhiyuan was questioning what he was going to do without telling him. After all, the last time he took him back so early, he ended up entangled on the bottom of the bed, and then lit the incense to help him sleep. The major event of King Yi's rebellion.Once bitten by a snake, Xie Xuan's credibility in his heart will not be very good. Even though he did not respond all the way, Li Zhiyuan still did not let down his vigilance.It was not until the evening that Xie Xuan pestered him for a long time before he held him in his arms, kissed his forehead and said: "The emperor ordered you to enter the palace to work from tomorrow."
