Chapter 276
The hall was in an uproar.

"How is it possible? General Zhao has been staying at my house for the past few days and has never left. It is impossible to have time to do such a thing." Liu Shangshu frowned, with a slightly dignified expression.

"Master Liu, you don't stay at the house every day..." General Huang muttered.

Liu Shangshu turned his head and glared at him, then turned his gaze to Zhao Duofu.

"Please tell me clearly!" Zhao Duofu had already grabbed the man's collar and said hoarsely, "How can you frame me? I have never seen you!"

"Who told you to say that?" Liu Shangshu pressed Zhao Duofu, trying to pull him back, but found that he couldn't.He shook his head, signaling him to calm down.

Zhao Duofu's jaw was tense, his whole body was trembling, and his hands that were holding the man's collar were visibly green.He took a deep breath before letting him go.

"Someone taught you to say that behind your back?" Liu Shangshu took advantage of the situation and inserted himself between the two, looking at the man with a serious expression.

The man shook his head, "No..." He licked his lips and glanced at Zhao Duofu secretly, "It is true that General Zhao gave me the next sum of money..." As he spoke, he took out a few dollars from his pocket. broken silver.

The broken silver looks a little black and dirty.

"Your money looks fake." Zhao Duofu sneered, "I'm afraid someone gave you the fake money, so design you to persecute me!"

"Fake?" The man's expression became extremely distorted, he bit the silver, and after a while, his expression was full of disappointment.

"General Zhao won't give people fake money." A person standing in Zhao Duofu's line said.

Immediately afterwards, several people joined in.

Lin Heng observed silently for a moment before speaking, "How can you be sure that that person is General Zhao? Do you have evidence?"

"Evidence?" The man had a complicated expression, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Arbitrarily pointing without evidence, this is framing!" Zhao Duofu's heart fell to the ground in an instant.

"Your Majesty, I request that this person be taken down and question the real culprit behind the scenes." Liu Shangshu bowed his body and said.

"Sure." Lin Heng waved his hand.

Liu Shangshu glared at the man, waved his hands, and then some servants stepped forward, holding the man hostage from left to right.

"It will take a while for Liu Shangshu to interrogate the suspect, why don't you retreat first?" Li Lan asked with a smile?

Although his voice was small, but because of its sharp voice, it was still extremely clear even though it spread throughout the vast hall.

"Liu Shangshu is vigorous and resolute, and it only takes a while. You want to retreat from the court so much, but you have ghosts in your heart?" Zhao Duofu sneered.

"General Zhao is thinking too much, our family is only thinking of His Majesty." Li Lan smiled, "The weather is hot and stuffy, and His Majesty has been facing all of you court officials for an hour. Our family feels distressed and feels that it is time for His Majesty to rest It's been a while..."

This horse was photographed, and Zhao Duofu was about to say something when he was stopped by other officials.

Jin Xi, who was behind the screen, stuck out her tongue, whispered into Cheng Muqing's ear, "This Zhao Duofu really can't hide his thoughts, and I don't know how he got into this position."

"Is it possible..." Cheng Muqing turned his head sideways, "Wen Xiaowang stretched out his hand to support him because he liked his temperament at the beginning? But in order to control him, he deliberately led him into the lawless appearance he is now?"

Jinxi was taken aback.

"Everyone likes smart people who can help them. But being too smart is not a good thing. People like Zhao Duofu who understand tactics and are straightforward, most agree with Lin Yan's little thoughts."

"Is it right for King Wen Xiao to be like this?" Jin Xi asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Cheng Muqing shook his head, "I never believe that there is absolute right and wrong. Everyone's position is different, and the world in their eyes is also different. Just like now, I am the queen, and Your Majesty is the emperor. Our perspectives are different, maybe In this matter, the choices you will make are also different.”

"My lady, what choice will you make?"

Cheng Muqing's expression was calm, a pair of eyelashes flickered twice, "Maybe we will continue to investigate. Lin Yan's death was not an accident, and there must be a secret operation in court."

"Then what will His Majesty... do?" Jinxi propped her chin, looking a little farther away.

Cheng Muqing leaned back and sat comfortably in the chair, the round fan in his hand kept shaking.

In the court hall, there was no sound, only the sound of heavy breathing.

"Then just wait." Lin Heng said, leaning on the chair, his eyes slightly closed.

Zhao Duofu smiled, and looked at Li Lan momentarily, full of provocation.

But the other party stayed beside Lin Heng expressionlessly, as if he hadn't seen it.

Lin Heng didn't raise his eyelids, and his hand resting on the armrest moved slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

About an hour later, the news finally came from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Shangshu hurried into the palace with a man.

Compared with before leaving, Liu Shangshu is slightly embarrassed at this moment.Due to the hot weather, his wrinkled face was red and oily, sweat continued to slide down his forehead, and most of the red official robe on his body was wet.

He saluted hastily, and turned to reveal the man behind him, "Your Majesty, this is the real culprit behind the scenes."

Baiguan looked over and found that the man was a young man with a broken arm.

The young man is eight feet tall, unkempt, with fluffy hair and a messy beard that almost hides his true face.

He drooped his head, and blood was still oozing from his ragged clothes.

The officials were so close that they could even smell the smell of rotten fish and shrimp on his body.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that this person is the secret agent of Qiguo, and he also has internal support in the palace." Liu Shangshu said, "The death of the former prince was indeed the work of Qiguo!"

"Your Majesty! This matter must be strictly investigated! Who should be in the palace? It must be found out!" A courtier responded immediately.

Immediately afterwards, other officials followed suit.

"Emperor... Do you feel at ease in this position?" The young man suddenly sneered and said, "This throne can only be matched by the first prince!"

Just when the voices of the people were buzzing, the youth's clear voice suddenly came.

If he is the real culprit behind the scenes and wants to blame General Zhao...why does he have to stand in the position of the former prince now?
Some people are already suspicious.

"Since he deserves it, why are you trying to kill him?" Xu Jin stood up.

"Me? Harm?" The young man shook his head, "I am loyal to His Highness, how could I do something to harm him?"

Someone looked at Liu Shangshu.

As soon as Liu Shangshu raised his hand, the servant beside him came up with a tray.

In the tray were a dagger, pieces of cloth, and a damaged brand.

"This piece of fabric is made of fine silk, and there are pythons on it. Only the crown prince can wear this pattern." Liu Shangshu said, "plus this brand belonging to the Eastern Palace. It can be concluded that this , is the clothes King Wen Xiao wore on the day he was killed. And this dagger is the murder weapon..."
