Chapter 16

"Your Majesty, you are not wrong."

There was no emotion on the prince's face, but it might not be the case in his heart.After saying this, he got up from the table and turned to leave.

"Fuyi—"

The emperor quickly got up and grabbed him, but he was already dizzy without thinking about it. When he was about to collapse on the ground, the prince turned around and hugged him.

"My lord, why are you bothering?"

The lord who said this had no trace of his usual playfulness on his face at this time, his brows were lowered, and his eyes were filled with deep helplessness.

It took a while for the emperor to come back to his senses, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's what I deserve."

The prince is silent, this is probably the emperor he is least willing to face.

"How will you be?"

The emperor's question, the prince understood, and after a long time, said: "You have your own ideas."

Yuan Qiyi saw his prince came back from Daming Palace, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li told me that the emperor is fine."

The prince glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"My lord, do you want to take a bath first, and then eat porridge comfortably?"

"You know it's time to go?"

"Eh!"

Yuan Qi looked at his prince eating porridge, while stroking the dog's head, and said cheerfully: "The emperor is very happy to see you back?"

The prince frowned, did not answer his words, and said: "It seems that Dali Temple can rest."

"What? The emperor wants you to go to Dali Temple to handle the case?" Yuan Qi thought for a while and said, "Is it the stone-throwing case?"

The prince is silent.

After eating, the prince collapsed and fell asleep, and slept until the afternoon of the next day.

Yuan Qi didn't dare to disturb him, so he went to the queen mother alone to fetch the prince's bird.The two princes that the former king loved the most, Fulu and Fuyi, were both brought up by the Queen Mother. Although Fuyi is an adopted son, there is no intention of favoritism at all. On the contrary, Fuyi will make the Queen Mother happy. More pampered.

At this moment, the prince just woke up, and saw Yuan Qi playing with the birds in the courtyard, and asked unconsciously, "Did you go to the queen mother?"

Seeing that the prince woke up, Yuan Qi didn't have the heart to tease the birds at the moment, it would be more fun to tease the prince, so he quickly ran to the prince's side and said: "My lord, the queen mother is getting more and more energetic every day."

The prince frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Yuan Qi said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has been thinking about you, and asked me to cook more porridge for you."

The prince was speechless, and Gu Zi left the mansion.

Needless to say, the prince must have gone to Dali Temple. There were a lot of things there, which made Dali Temple all overwhelmed, and the Criminal Department also suffered.

Ever since he came back from Daming Palace yesterday, the prince has been thinking about that matter. That thing is on him right now. What should be done is a difficult problem.

Yuan Qi knew about it, but he didn't mention it. It seemed that he was waiting for him to make a decision.But, what exactly does the emperor want to do?

While the prince was thinking, he arrived at Dali Temple. Needless to say, at this time, the minister of Dali Temple was out to do some errands, and that Shaoqing was looking forward to thousands of times, and finally he was looking forward to the arrival of the prince.

"My lord, look."

Shaoqing submitted the dossier.

The prince took a look at it for a while, and it was probably because the hometown of this unnamed corpse was from Sichuan. Since he came to the capital for business, there was no news after that. He would write a letter from home every month, but my sister didn't receive it later, so I thought It was due to the downturn in business, and my elder brother was ashamed to write family letters. Later, when the capital released the news of overturning the case, the younger sister finally knew that her elder brother was long gone.

There are two younger brothers in this man's family who are studying in private schools. They are probably from a good family, because the corpse has been disposed of long ago, and the younger sister has not seen it. It is only after inquiring about the place where the elder brother does business that he finds out what happened.

The guy who was doing business with him thought he was going back to his hometown, so naturally he didn't care.

My sister cried, this brother has always treated people kindly, kindly and honestly, never offended anyone, he is a well-known peacemaker in the mall, so he will never offend anyone, but who will push him into the well, no matter how cruel he is? The stone crushed him to death, but I couldn't bear to look at him or listen to him.

The prince said: "Is this really pushed into the well and smashed to death?"

Shaoqing nodded and said: "During the autopsy, Wu Zuo said that the water in the well is not deep enough. A person can stand up to his knees in the water. It is most likely that he was drowned. The person's body is full of wounds from being hit by stones."

The prince nodded and said, "Where is the person from the surrender?"

"I've already been put in prison, waiting to be released."

"Okay, take me to have a look."

The two entered the prison, and finally saw the man who surrendered. He was dying at this time, wearing a washed-up blue shirt, unkempt, skinny, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for a few days. More than 40.The prince couldn't help snorting coldly, he knew the rules of Dali Temple, once in prison, it would be the same as being dead.

Hearing the sound, the man raised his head and knelt down when he saw the prince.

The prince glanced at him and said, "Get up, talk carefully."

The man just muttered: "I killed someone, I killed someone..."

Through the iron gate, the prince said coldly: "Dali Temple can't find out who killed someone. Isn't your surrendering yourself a trap?"

As soon as these words came out, Shaoqing's heart turned cold. Although it was the truth, he always felt hurt, but the prince said these words, and he didn't even have a chance to refute.

The man trembled all over, and for some reason, he just kept repeating that sentence in his mouth.

The prince turned to Shaoqing and said, "Get him out, give him something to eat and drink, and I will ask questions later."

"Yes."

Although Shaoqing was reluctant, he had to do what the prince said. He quickly called two people and got them out.

The prince sat on the sandalwood chair, waiting for someone, while asking Shaoqing back and forth.

"Where did Dali Siqing go?"

"Your Excellency went to investigate that person, and wanted to know if what he said was true. I sent a letter yesterday, saying that no one in the hometown that the person said knew him. It must be a lie."

"Who did he say he was?"

"They said they were from Foshan."

"what is it call?"

"It's Jia Liang."

"how old are you?"

"Two out of thirty."

"Since he lied, the crime will be aggravated." The prince suddenly smiled, "This person is lying at first glance, you adults really have the time to investigate."

Shaoqing suddenly didn't dare to speak again, and stretched out his hand to wipe off the cold sweat. If the adults heard these words, they probably wouldn't know how to mumble them behind their backs.

As he said that, the man had already been brought up, changed his clothes, washed him, and looked much more energetic.

The man quickly knelt down, but he didn't say anything anymore.

The prince put down the file and asked, "Whose servant are you?"

"My lord, the little one is just a commoner."

When the man spoke, he was not ambiguous, perhaps he had already prepared for it.

"Civilians? Or civilians in Chang'an City or Foshan?"

"The youngest one is from Foshan. All the superiors have passed away. He hasn't married a wife yet, and neither has the subordinates. He's just the younger one."

The prince frowned and said, "What are you doing in Chang'an?"

"Come to Chang'an to beg."

"You said, saw that man crawling out of the well?"

"Yes."

"Then he fell into the well himself?"

"The little one didn't know, but he saw him crawling out as soon as he went there. The little one just thought it was a water ghost, and was so frightened that he lost his face."

When the man spoke, his face was expressionless, as if he had recited the words and poured them out smoothly.

The prince was suspicious and asked: "When you saw him crawling out, did you scream out of fright?"

"The younger one was afraid that he would hurt the younger one, so he didn't say a word, and hurried to move the stone."

"Did he say anything when he saw you?"

"It's probably because the little one is in the dark, and he can't see the little one."

The prince snorted coldly, then turned to ask Shaoqing: "When did the body die?"

Shaoqing replied, "It was on the tenth day of March."

"when?"

"According to Wu Zuo's inference, he probably died at the time of Xu."

"Since he died on the [-]th day of March," the prince said with a deep smile, "the moon rises from the east on the [-]th day of the lunar month, and it will be southeast at the time of the [-]th day of March. At that time, people's heads are facing east and feet are facing west, which means you are in the west. In front of you, he is to the east of you, he is lying on the edge of the well, and you are standing, then, when the light comes, he should be able to see you, but you can’t see him, right? Why are you still frightened by him? "

The man was startled and backed away again and again in fright, with incredible horror on his face.It seems that he probably didn't expect that the prince would observe so carefully, and he exposed everything when he asked and answered.

The prince clapped his hands and shouted angrily: "Are you telling the truth!"

The man was so scared that his face turned pale, he kowtowed repeatedly, and began to murmur.Seeing his appearance, Shaoqing imitated the prince and cast a glance at him, saying: "You know, if you deceive the court, your life will be worse than death."

The prince said coldly: "Who is your employer?"

The man just bowed his head and said nothing, as if he would be beaten to death.

"You'd better not lie in front of this king, this king doesn't look like those useless trash, I can't do anything to you!"

When Shaoqing heard this, he broke into a cold sweat. The prince really did not shy away from such nonsense, and he wanted to say it when Shaoqing of Dali Temple was away.

The prince stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and said, "You say you are alone, then if I kill all the hometown you mentioned and put your name on it, then I will see if you still speak hard!"

Shaoqing was startled, this prince has always been confident, he may not be unable to do what he said.I'm afraid it is, if this person has no compassion, he will be speechless.

He looked at the man, and sure enough, he was already trembling all over, and his hands lying on the ground were also trembling greatly, and he was really frightened.

The prince flung his sleeves and left, leaving only one sentence: "This king gives you three days. Whether you want to be a sinner through the ages, or whether you will return from the wrong way, you can decide for yourself."

Shaoqing quickly gave the people around him a look, and chased after him to see the prince off.This prince is really not easy to mess with, but if he hadn't acted, I'm afraid it would be impossible to overturn the case.

Shaoqing stroked his chest with his hands, and smiled: "My lord, I will see you off!"
