Chapter 261 Chapter 261: Supporting my princess
Emperor Mu Wu continued: "Come here, tell Qin Zheng to hurry over and find out the truth."

Chu Huan was the third brother of Liu Yatou. He didn't believe that Chu Huan would beat someone to death so viciously.

"Yes." The chief eunuch hurried to do it.

Emperor Mu Wu read the name Sun Yaozu, and suddenly frowned, "This Sun Yaozu seems to be a student of Mr. Cao Ge?"

This old Cao Ge is quite capable, even though he came from a poor family, he has gained a firm foothold in the court by his own strength.

Moreover, he has a very temper, he only accepts students of the same background, and he doesn't even look at those children from aristocratic families who come to apprentice.

Ye Siheng nodded, "That's right."

Emperor Mu Wu looked serious, "This is going to be troublesome, Cao Ge is always reticent, he must be holding on to this matter."

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I believe that third brother didn't kill anyone." Ye Siheng said.

Emperor Mu Wu felt a slight pain in his temple, and he waved his hand, "It's best. You have to avoid suspicion about this matter, otherwise Cao Ge won't be convinced."

Ye Siheng raised his eyes, his eyes lighted faintly: "Brother Huang, if my younger brother avoids suspicion, will Mr. Cao Ge really believe it?"

Emperor Mu Wu knew that he had an idea in his mind, so he had no choice but to say: "Then you can figure it out."

Ye Siheng was not in a hurry, he read the memorial for a while before heading to Dali Temple.

Qin Zheng has temporarily detained the relevant persons, waiting for interrogation.

As for the dead Sun Yaozu, the body was also moved back to Dali Temple.

When Ye Siheng came, Qin Zheng naturally came to greet him.

"This case is urgent, please trouble Mr. Qin." Ye Siheng said, "I hope there will be a result in these two days."

Qin Zheng bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Wu Zuo is about to conduct an autopsy, how did Sun Yaozu die, we will have the result later, please rest assured, my lord."

Ye Siheng nodded slightly.

"Wait a minute!"

Outside the main hall, a man in a second-grade supplementary uniform strode in. It was the cabinet minister Cao Gelao.

He bowed to Ye Siheng with a cold face, and then said coldly: "My lord really cares about my brother-in-law. If you're here, do Wu Zuo and Dali Temple dare to tell the truth?"

Ye Siheng was not surprised that Mr. Cao Ge was so eccentric, and he said bluntly, "Mr. Cao Ge should really be thankful that this king respects this old man, otherwise, based on the old man's accusations just now, this king would have been able to cure you." crime."

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity. Now the student of the lower official has been beaten to death for no reason. The lower official is out of grief, so he said something offensive. Please forgive me, my lord." Cao Ge's old words only contained arrogance and anger.

Ye Siheng turned around and looked at him, his eyes were cold: "I heard that Sun Yaozu's mouth is cheap, and it's not for nothing. If this king has such a student, he should reflect on himself."

"You..." Cao Ge gritted his teeth, "The dead are the greatest, so why should the prince be unforgiving?"

"Some people didn't achieve anything during their lifetime, and they still hurt others after death. Don't blame this king for being mean." Ye Siheng said.

Old Cao Ge's face turned red all of a sudden, but he knew that it was useless to speak quickly, so he said: "Your official brought a clerk from the Ministry of Punishments. Let's do an autopsy together."

He came here to find out why the student died.

If Chu Huan really beat his student to death, even if he offended Ye Siheng and the royal family, he would seek justice for the student!
Qin Zheng broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Ye Siheng.

A prince and an important minister, it was very difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

Originally thought that Ye Siheng would stop him, but he nodded slightly in agreement, which made Qin Zheng heave a sigh of relief, and Cao Ge's complexion instantly improved a lot.

Two forensics went to autopsy.

Qin Zheng also wanted to watch.

Cao Ge always sat and waited for the news, and now he showed some grief.

He glanced at Ye Siheng, and resentment arose in his heart, "This case involves the concubine's natal family, the prince really shouldn't intervene, lest people say it's unfair."

Ye Siheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "This king can act upright and sit upright, so why not be afraid."

Cao Ge snorted, "I also hope that when the autopsy results come out, the prince will not rely on his own power to forcibly cover him up."

Not long after, Qin Zheng had already walked out with the two assistants.

They were all stained with blood, and the smell was not pleasant.

Ye Siheng sat on the teacher's chair with a calm expression, "How is it?"

Qin Zheng pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.

Elder Cao Ge asked again: "Lord Qin, what is the result of the autopsy? How did Yaozu die?"

One of the assistants was brought by Mr. Cao Ge. No matter how difficult Qin Zheng was, he was still a just and strict person who followed the law. He took a deep breath and said: "Sun Yaozu has a newly formed bruise on his chest. The two assistants The unanimous opinion is that he was beaten so badly that his heart burst and died."

Ye Siheng raised his eyes, his pupils constricted slightly.

There was a sudden pause in the hand holding the mahogany beads.

Cao Ge's body trembled, and then he looked at Ye Siheng sadly and angrily: "Did you hear that, my lord? My student was beaten to death by Chu San!"

Before Ye Siheng could speak, a crisp voice came from outside: "Although someone saw my third brother beating someone with his own eyes, but my third brother is not proficient in internal skills, how can he just let someone's heart burst?"

Nan Li walked in quickly, her dress fluttering, her expression solemn.

When Ye Siheng saw her coming, he obediently got up and stood aside, the meaning was very clear.

This king just wants to support his own princess.

When Cao Ge saw this scene, he became even more annoyed, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

"It's not easy for a person with profound internal skills to hide their strength!" Cao Ge said, "My lord, my concubine, now that there are witnesses and autopsy results to testify, you still want to cover up Chu San?"

Nan Li said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be so arbitrary. I'm just pointing out some doubts. The details need to be examined by Lord Qin."

Cao Ge raised his brows, "Since that's the case, then the officer can sit in on the trial."

Qin Zheng said: "Lord Cao is Sun Yaozu's teacher and a cabinet minister, so it's fine."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to go down and bring out Chu Huan and the small officials for interrogation.

When Chu Huan learned that he might have killed someone, he was in a trance, his eyes were empty and hard to focus.

"Third Brother." Nan Li called him worriedly.

Chu Huan raised his head, his eyes gradually focused.

I saw Nan Li slightly twisting her willow eyebrows, with a very worried expression on her face.

His first reaction was to ask: "Sixth sister, did I really kill someone?"

"Third brother, you only need to tell the story of the case, Lord Qin will review it clearly." Nan Li did not give an affirmative answer.

Chu Huan looked at Sixth Sister's face, feeling a little more at ease.

When the interrogation started, Ye Siheng and Nan Li were sitting on the left side of the hall, while Mr. Cao Ge was sitting on the right side.

At the beginning, Qin Zheng was nothing more than asking the cause of the incident.

The petty official didn't dare to hide anything, saying that Sun Yaozu's misfortune came out of his mouth, and that Chu Huan loved his sixth younger sister, so he got mad and beat him up.

It's just that he didn't expect that Chu Huan would beat Sun Yaozu to death.

Regarding these, Chu Huan did not deny, he seemed to have decided that he accidentally beat the person to death.

"Why am I so impulsive? If only...if you calm down, just calm down."

He trembled slightly, feeling extremely regretful.
