    The woman who hit the pillar was sent to hospital, and the people of Dali Temple invited the prince trembling. But they looked at each other, and they all had a faint premonition that the weather was going to change.

    Ji Anmin, a physician who usually seldom stood in line, made an impassioned speech in court for the first time, denouncing the crime of the crown prince.

    The sister of the complaint was Shen Ruxin, a native of Suyuan County, Suzhou. Because of the death of their parents, the two sisters came to Beijing to find relatives, but they did not want to be abducted and sold by human teeth before they could find their relatives. They were drugged by human teeth, and after several twists and turns, they were sent to a large house by a white-faced old man without resistance.

    Later, when they tried to escape and angered the master's family, two old mothers who taught rules came, and they just knew that the big house that was closed to them was the East Palace. And the master they want to wait on is actually the crown prince.

    The sisters were scared to rest, but when they pretended to be obedient, they overheard the two sisters in the yard say, "I don't know how long the sisters will live this time." The two sisters were also literate and reasonable, and when they overheard these words, they thought of what kind of woman the crown prince wanted, but secretly locked up the woman of the good family in his own mansion. There was obviously something wrong with it. It was a matter of life and death that brought them back to mind and wanted to escape.

    The younger sister, remembering the confession of the person who helped them leave, kowtowed outside the temple and cried, "the tooth of our captor is Sun Xinmin, and he has a brother in Yizhuang, that is, the East Palace where they sold us together. An old eunuch gave them a lot of money! If your Majesty and the officials and men don't believe it, you can ask them to confront the people's daughters on the spot! If the people's daughter has a lie, tell me that the sky strikes five thunderbolts! "

    If you have no official or post, you are not allowed to enter the Chongzheng Hall. Ji Anmin only sent people to the Dengwen drum outside the temple. Tell her to beat the drums and complain about her grievances.

    When Emperor Anqing was in the hall with a group of officials, he heard the sound of weeping blood coming in, and the sound was gripping to the heart.

    Ji Anmin knelt down and said in a deep voice, "Please your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation!" If the matter really has nothing to do with the prince, it is good that the prince is innocent. "

    In addition to the prince's henchmen, the rest of them all agreed on their knees and asked for a thorough investigation of the matter.

    After a while, the prince also arrived.

    After hearing the drum, saw Shen Ru, who had complained of grievances, and the face of the prince sank slightly, and he just went in calmly.

    The Dali Temple official who invited people came forward to truthfully report what had happened in the East Palace.

    Anqing Emperor also listened to the reply of the eunuch and knocked on the handrail impatiently: "Prince, do you have something to say?"

    The prince knelt leisurely to the ground and said, "Please father and emperor, the son and minister is the master of the East Palace, what kind of woman do you want not to get?" Why bother to send people's teeth to kidnap and sell a good girl? He also specially placed the abducted and trafficked woman in the East Palace, as if for fear that others would not know. There are many oddities in this matter. I implore my father, the Emperor, to ask the head of the East Palace to conduct a thorough investigation, saying that there is a mole in the East Palace, colluding with outsiders, with the intention of framing them! "

    His rebuttal was also reasonable, and many people suddenly hesitated. It is worried that someone is really framed and framed, and if it has nothing to do with the prince at that time, those who are anxious to step on the prince will be in a fishy mood.

    "what the prince said was not without reason." Anqing Emperor praised the same way. Even if he is afraid of his son, he doesn't want a scandal in the royal family.

    "whether or not it was planted and framed, we will first arrest and bring to justice the teeth of the kidnappers, and we will know by interrogating them one by one." Ji Anmin said bluntly.

    When the prince came, he had a plan on the way. It was difficult to say, but simple to say. Even if it was found out that the matter was really related to the Eastern Palace, it was all the work of the people below. Introducing a substitute could silence other people's mouths. Who would dare to find out on his head that it would not be successful?. As for the Sun brothers. The tail that should have been dealt with had been cleaned up a long time ago, and it was normal for both of them to die in prison.

    He glanced at Ji Anmin and said, "Lord Ji does not believe in loneliness. If you want to check, you can check. You must cooperate with each other." I only hope that Lord Ji can enforce the law impartially and be fair. "

    It doesn't matter how happy he promised at this time, and then he regretted it.

    Since the matter was brought out by Ji Anmin and he asked for a thorough investigation, Emperor Anqing simply asked him to be in charge of the case and the Dali Temple cooperated.

    Ji Anmin moved very quickly, and after the next dynasty, he sent men from the Dali Temple to Yizhuang and Tooth Bank to pick up people-- this was what an Changqing had negotiated with him a long time ago. In order to prevent the Sun brothers from escaping or being silenced, an Changqing sent someone to control the two brothers and their families last night.

    In addition, there is a book hidden by Sun Xinshi, the head of Yizhuang, which is one of the evidence found by the spies in latent Yizhuang in the remaining days, and one of the evidence that an Changqing came to the door and asked Ji Anmin to help him and was confident that he could bring down the prince.

    The Sun brothers were already scared. Last night they just knew that the master they worked for was the crown prince. The two brothers sought money, though they had been speculating about which family might be the nobles of the family who asked them to do things. But I never thought that this gentleman would be the crown prince, and they would be involved in the struggle between the court and the court. It's just that it's no use regretting it at this time.

    Ji Anmin took over the two brothers and related evidence and personally escorted them to Dali Temple for interrogation.

    When Xiao Zhige woke up, it was already dusk. He inhaled the drugs and slept for such a long time. When he woke up, he only felt a headache.

    He sat up with his arms up, rubbed his temples, and waited for the dizziness to fade before he remembered what had happened last night.

    His face changed slightly and was about to get up to look for someone, but he saw an Changqing come in with a bowl of sugar water. When he saw him awake, he glared at him and said angrily, "drink this. I said I would feel dizzy when I woke up."

    Xiao Zhige hesitated to speak, and for a moment he did not know what expression to use to face him.

    He never thought that the first stumble would be in the hands of an Changqing. But when you think about it, it's not surprising. Apart from an Changqing, no one can make him defenseless.

    After drinking the sugar water on the table in one breath, looking at an Changqing, who was obviously still angry, Xiao Zhige licked his lips and said in a dumb voice, "if you stop me for a while, you can't stop me for a lifetime."

    He was bound to kill the prince with his own hands in order to get rid of his hatred.

    "when did I say you were not allowed to kill the prince?"

    An Changqing was angry and mocked, "the king of the Northern War used his troops like a god. Is it possible that the only way to kill the prince is to lead troops into the East Palace?" It is a pleasure for the prince to die, but you will be scolded for killing your brother and conspiring against him! It is impossible to say that someone will feel sorry for the prince in the future. Scold you for being devoid of humanity and caring for human relations! "

    Isn't that what happened when he thought of his last life?

    Others have done all the bad things, but Xiao Zhige is responsible for the bad things. An Changqing hated that iron could not become steel and said, "for a man like the prince, he should announce his crimes to the world, make him bear the scolding forever, remove his name during his lifetime, and refuse to enter the imperial mausoleum after his death!" Even if you kill him, it's not killing your brother, but doing justice for heaven! "

    "for such a simple reason, do you still need me to teach the King of Northern War?"

    He was obviously annoyed by the king of the Northern War. The eyes were raised high, and the pupils were dyed with anger.

    Xiao Zhige watched him get angry for himself, and the fire that lingered in his heart just went out.

    After hearing the eldest princess tell the cause of his mother's death, there was a fire in his chest, burning his internal organs from time to time, so painful that he wanted to perish together with the prince, the emperor Anqing, and even the entire Xiao royal family.

    He knew there was dirt in the palace, but he didn't know that the pickles were a thousand times dirtier than he could have imagined. Such a dirty blood, it is better to burn it clean.

    However, an Changqing pulled him back from the edge of the cliff.

    Xiao Zhige closed his eyes, leaned over and hugged him, and admitted in a low voice: "Sorry, I was wrong."

    "as long as you figure it out." An Changqing breathed a sigh, rubbed wearily against his neck, and muttered, "otherwise I'll have to ask Yu Huan to knock you out and lock you up again, so as not to do something stupid to me."

    With a hook on the corner of his lips, Xiao Zhige hugged him: "Don't worry, it won't happen."

    He wanted to say anything else, but he noticed that the breath on the side of his neck had calmed down and looked sideways in surprise, only to see that an Changqing had fallen asleep on his shoulder, with gentle wrinkles between his long eyebrows.

    With a pull in his heart, Xiao Zhige gently picked up the person and put him on the bed, smoothed out the wrinkles between his eyebrows, and just went out quietly.

    Yu Huan was sitting on the doorstep and was startled at the sight of him. He jumped like a rabbit and was about to call someone.

    "the princess is asleep." Xiao Zhige made a silent gesture and said in a low voice.

    Yu Kui immediately covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "the princess hasn't had a rest since last night."

    Hearing this, Xiao Zhige, knowing that something must have happened during his lethargy, nodded to Yu Kui, told him to keep an Changqing, turned around and went to the front yard.

    The commander of the guard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was awake. Listen to him. Dare not conceal a series of things from last night to today.

    I heard that Ji Anmin had found out. When he went to Yizhuang to dig the grave to find the bones, as Sun Xinshi said, Xiao Zhige could not help laughing: "it is much more capable than I am."

    After listening to this, the commander thought to himself that he was really capable, and who dared to carry the King of the Northern War back if he could not.

    The princess is really a tough guy.

    Less than half a day after going to Dali Temple, the Sun brothers confessed everything they knew.

    At first, they did not know that the person who asked them to do something was the crown prince, but they guessed that it must also be an aristocratic family. The two brothers are greedy for money, but they are not stupid. Every time Sun Xinmin found a candidate to send it to him, after a while, the body of a woman who had been stripped of her face would be sent to Yizhuang. Such a coincidence made them suspicious. And strengthened the idea of leaving some cards for yourself just in case.

    Later, every time Sun Xinmin found a good candidate, Sun Xinshi wrote down the woman's appearance, physical features and other information in the booklet. If another body was cremated later, they compared these features and identified the female body according to the pamphlet. If you recognize your identity, use Zhu's pen to draw a red cross, and then roughly record the cause of death, the date of death, and so on. If you don't recognize it, start another page of the record.

    The book was closely hidden in the new era, but it was found out by spies who pretended to be stupid and approached him. In addition, an Changqing sent someone to control the families of the Sun brothers. Therefore, in the first trial of Ji Anmin, they confessed like bamboo canisters and beans.

    Not only did they have a pamphlet, but the two brothers even left the bodies of two women who could match their identities without burning, and secretly buried them under the old tree behind Yizhuang.

    At this time, Ji Anmin has taken the people of Dali Temple to Yizhuang to excavate the body.

    If the body can really be found, the prince committed a crime, I am afraid the evidence is conclusive, the argument is indisputable.

    Xiao Zhige tapped his fingers on the knee and felt that this was not enough. At most, this evidence made the crown prince lose his reputation, and even if Emperor Anqing had to abolish the prince, it was not enough to kill him.

    Moreover, it was about an Changqing's words that inspired him, and he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

    After the commander-in-chief retired, Xiao Zhige called a spy to inquire.

    "is there any movement from the Crown Princess?"

    The scout said, "there is no movement. Since the princess became pregnant, she has stayed behind closed doors, saying only that the pregnant statue is unstable and needs to rest."

    "do you have dealings with people, especially men, in private?"

    This time the scout hesitated for a moment and said, "the news from Kui er has nothing to do with the man, and the guards never enter the inner courtyard outside." But. Recently, there is a Taoist aunt who often comes to lecture with the crown princess. It seems that the crown princess is impetuous, and that Taoist aunt can be calm and calm. "

    "Taoist nuns?" Xiao Zhige picked his eyebrows and said, "go and find out the origin of this Taoist nun."

    Ji Anmin and his men dug up the bodies of two women in Yizhuang. Although most of them were rotten, the back of the sun in Yizhuang was always cold and cold because of the perennial cadaver. Although the two women's bodies had begun to rot, they were still recognizable.

    He took the body to the autopsy, and Ji Anmin dispatched men to look for the files in the pamphlet all night. In addition to a few of these women who were sold or sold voluntarily by their parents, many of them are women from good families. Suddenly disappeared, perhaps family members will go to the government to report the case. These files were transferred from Jing Zhaoyin, and we searched the Dali Temple together, but we really found two old cases of missing persons. The appearance, name and so on of the woman on the file can all correspond to the record of the roster.

    The secretary of the Dali Temple watched him carefully put away the files and take them with him. He complained slightly: "Lord Yushi is already a great minister, so why should he be involved here?" It makes it difficult for us to be a man in Dali Temple. "

    Ji Anmin glanced at him, pointed to the open roster and snapped, "there are nineteen lives on this booklet." In a short period of five or six years, nineteen women died. They were all tortured to death. Although I am old, I am not blind and my heart is not black! "

    What else did the secretary of the Dali Temple want to say, but he shook his head and said, "I have been an official with you for many years, and I am also a member of the list. I can be regarded as a friend. Just mention you, turn a blind eye to small things, and don't lose your head on big things." What kind of person the prince is? he didn't know before, but he should know now. If you are on the wrong side, no one can protect you. "

    With that, he sorted out the files and evidence, handed them to the two long attendants on the side, and said goodbye. Although the two long Sui dressed as servants, but their bodies were extremely thin, one left and one right seemed to protect Ji Anmin.

    Remembering Ji Anmin's words, and then looking at the two guards who followed him, the minister of the Dali Temple was frightened and hurriedly called his confidant subordinates: "you go and look at the Sun brothers yourself. no one is allowed to approach them without my permission." Remember to watch it, and you must not let them die unknowingly! "

    The confidant hesitated: "didn't you say."

    "it was before!" The minister of Dali Temple thought of the old eunuch who came to deliver words in the palace, took a deep breath, and his eyes showed a glimmer of cruelty: "just do as I say!"

    Although it is impossible to see through whether Ji Anmin's allegiance is to the third prince or the king of the Northern War, the minister of the Dali Temple is on the same list as him, and he knows him quite well, knowing that this man is usually silent, but his eyes have always been fierce, and not only did he not fall down, but he sat on the position of the third Duke instead, and this unique eye can help him a lot.

    The minister of the Dali Temple paced two steps and thought that there should be nothing wrong with following Ji Anmin, an old fox.

    The author has something to say:

    Leader: the princess is really a ruthless character.

    Pussy: yes, he is the most capable (proud)

    Leader:. (that doesn't seem to be what I meant.)
