Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 347
"His Royal Highness, this prince is the one who first discovered that Cui Yuan committed suicide."

Of course, Cheng Denggao did not dare to disobey Li Xian's order, but it is inevitable that he secretly messed with some moths. It took a quarter of an hour before he led a middle-aged eunuch with an extremely sleek face in from outside the prison cell, and without waiting for Li Xian to speak, he hurriedly made a report.

"Eunuch Lao Cheng is here."

Li Xian was very calm, and he was not angry at all because Cheng Denggao had been away for a long time before returning. He just thanked him lightly, and then, he did not rush to ask questions, but looked at the middle-aged eunuch surnamed Wang with great interest. Seeing that the man's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he said slowly: "Where is the prince from? What year did you enter the palace?"

"Returning to His Highness, the servant Wang Bian was lost by Qingzhou, Shandong, and entered the palace in the second year of Yonghui."

Obviously, Wang Bian had been reminded by Cheng Denggao long ago, and when he answered Li Xian's questions, he was very brief and refused to say a word that was irrelevant.

"Oh, so that's the case. So the prince has been in the palace for more than twenty years. He is considered an old man in the palace. I think he knows the rules of the palace well. Gu can save himself some tongues. Well, But I don't know what position the prince is in this inner court prison? What are you in charge of on weekdays?"

Li Xian smiled gently, and was not in a hurry to get straight to the point, but asked La casually in a casual manner, with a very relaxed tone, as if this place was not a spooky morgue, but the two sides were making tea Just chatting.

"His Royal Highness, the servant girl is the deputy head of the inner court supervisor, and has always been responsible for patrolling the prison room to prevent people from making trouble."

Li Xian could be relaxed, but Wang Bian didn't dare to relax even the slightest bit. He bowed his body and replied extremely respectfully.

"Responsible for patrolling the cell? In this way, it is reasonable for Wang Gonggong to be the first to find out about Cui Yuan's suicide. If so, Wang Gonggong will tell Gu Ting in detail how you found out about this matter. And how to deal with it, please be more detailed, and don't complain." Li Xian smacked his lower lip, nodded thoughtfully, and ordered politely.

"Yes, I obey." Hearing that Li Xian had turned to the topic, Wang Bian did not dare to be negligent. , Xiguan Bureau (a permanent institution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for the responsibility of the internal guards) Chen Gonggong transferred a group of criminals, including 13 eunuchs and 11 court ladies, a total of 24. Regarding the No. 20 to No. [-] cells of Yizi Prison, probably because Cui Yuan has a special status, she is accompanying His Royal Highness the King of Yin, and is also a serious offender involved in the case. According to the rules, the servants are detained in a single room, and the handover time is less than a quarter of an hour. Afterwards, the slaves turned to A, C and other prison cells for inspection. After a while, the slaves finished inspecting the various cells, and then returned to the B prison. When they arrived at the cell No. , not daring to be careless, hurriedly led his subordinates to open the gate of the cell in an attempt to save the prisoner, but it was too late, the prisoner was destined to return to hell, the slaves had to move the corpse to the morgue, and reported it to the internal servant Save it for inspection."

"Oh? Is there any circumstantial evidence for what Wang Gonggong said?"

Li Xian listened to Wang Bian's statement quietly, and did not express his opinion in a hurry, but asked a question with a smile.

"Returning to His Highness, the words of this servant are true, and I dare not lie to His Highness with false words. All the eunuchs under this servant can prove it." Li Xian's question was nothing out of the ordinary, it was just a matter of routine. Knowing that he is not afraid, he replied calmly.

"How many? How many are there?"

Li Xian asked endlessly without hesitation.

"This... is three people."

Seeing Li Xian asking such detailed questions, Wang Bian lost his composure a little bit. Fortunately, he had already prepared for this matter before coming, so he was not afraid of Li Xian's endless questioning.

"Three people? Not too many, no matter what, call them all to meet with Gu Jian, Mr. Cheng, I beg you to go on one more time."

Li Xian still didn't express his attitude, but nodded his head pretentiously, looked sideways at Cheng Denggao who was waiting beside him, and gave a light order, although his voice was calm, it was full of unquestionable determination.

"No, please wait a moment, Your Highness. The servants will return as soon as they go." Cheng Denggao obviously had already made relevant preparations, and he agreed without hesitation, and hurried out of the morgue. The three young eunuchs turned back, and before Li Xian could speak, he had already walked up to Li Xian, and reported respectfully: "His Royal Highness, everyone has been brought here, Your Highness, please give me instructions."

"Thank you." Li Xian nodded politely, glanced back and forth between the three young eunuchs, and finally fell on a little eunuch with a slightly flustered expression. The little eunuch said: "This father-in-law, please come forward, the king has something to ask you."

"Ah, yes, yes, the servant obeys."

When the little eunuch heard Li Xian's roll call, he was taken aback for a moment, then gave Cheng Denggao a suspicious look, and then walked forward hesitantly.

"Name?"

The smile on Li Xian's face suddenly faded, and he let out a solemn expression.

"Ah, slave, slave, Sun Sheng kowtow, kowtow to see His Highness."

Li Xian's evil spirit was already strong, but when he became serious, it was even more frightening. That little eunuch was just a lowly person, how could he stand up to Li Xian's treatment, he trembled in fright, his legs trembled Kneeling softly on the ground.

"Tell me, how did you find out that Cui Yuan committed suicide?"

Li Xian didn't feel the slightest pity for the little eunuch's inexplicable shock, so he let out an extremely cold sip, the sound was so loud that everyone in the room felt pain in their eardrums.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, this is what the servant said, this is what happened..."

Hearing that Li Xian's expression was wrong, Sun Sheng didn't dare to be negligent, kowtowed his head hastily, and explained the matter intermittently, what he said was almost the same as Wang Bian's before, even some of the words were the same Sincerely, it is obvious that this group of guys had conspired to make confessions before they came in.

"Hmm, do the two of you see the same thing, huh?"

Li Xian didn't care about Sun Sheng who was kneeling in front of him, but turned his gaze to the other two uneasy little eunuchs, and asked in a cold voice.

"That's true, I dare not lie to Your Highness."

Hearing Li Xian's question, the two young eunuchs quickly looked at each other and replied in unison.

"Very good, Prince, are you sure that you were the first to discover Cui Yuan's death?"

Seeing that the four of them had colluded so clearly, Li Xian not only did not get angry, but turned his mouth into a mysterious smile, and did not continue to question those little eunuchs, but turned to ask Wang Bian.

"This...it should be, no one else can enter this prison except us."

Seeing that there was something wrong with the smile on Li Xian's face, Wang Bian obviously hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied.

"In other words, apart from Wang Gonggong and others, there are no idlers in this cell who can do whatever they want. Is it correct to understand this?" Li Xian did not rush to reveal his hole cards, but took every step of the way. Pressing hard.

"This, this..."

Hearing Li Xian's strange question, Wang Bianke didn't dare to answer casually. He hesitated and cast his eyes on Cheng Denggao. Only when he saw Cheng Denggao nodded calmly, did he grit his teeth and answer decisively. Said: "According to common sense, no one can go without alerting the patrols outside"

"Okay, very good, after Wang Gonggong said that, Gu can rest assured!"

As soon as Wang Bian finished speaking, Li Xian burst into applause and burst into laughter. Everyone in the room was in a daze, wondering if Li Xian was making a fuss, but no one dared to speak casually. They could only stare at Li Xian in a daze and laugh endlessly.

"Wang Gonggong, have you ever heard an old saying-the sky net is restored, and it is not leaked!"

After Li Xian laughed for a long time, his face suddenly turned serious, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth with a murderous look.

"This, this... Slaves, servants don't know, so, Your Highness, you are..."

The evil spirit on Li Xian's body was brought out from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. How can such a lowly person like Wang Bian be able to bear it? All softened, his complexion became pale as paper in an instant, and his body trembled like sifting chaff, but at this critical moment of life and death, he refused to accept his softness easily, stammering and fooling around, trying to confuse Go through the barrier.

"I don't know why? You don't know why, Wang Gonggong, you are so courageous, you dare to kill people to silence you, how can I tolerate you!" Li Xian is such a shrewd person, how could he be fooled by Wang Bian in this way? He snorted coldly.

"Ah, I don't have any servants. How dare I do such an unruly thing? Your Highness, this is an imposed crime, and this servant refuses to accept it!"

Hearing what Li Xian said, Wang Bian immediately panicked, his body froze suddenly, and soon he screamed in panic.

"Isn't it okay? Let me give you some pointers, so that I won't know where my mistakes are until I die!" Li Xian smiled coldly, his figure flashed, and as soon as he appeared in front of Wang Bian, With a big hand, he grabbed Wang Bian's neck, lifted him up like a chicken, strode to the corpse lying on the ground, and pointed to the purple mark on the neck of the corpse. , coldly said: "Look clearly, the scars are extremely neat, there is no trace of side marks or oblique marks. These marks can only be caused by hanging on the beam after the deceased was knocked out. No one else can get in, so who is it if you didn't do this case? How dare you bully an orphan on the spot, how daring!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me, my servant is wronged, my servant is wronged..."

Hearing that Li Xian had lifted the hole card, Wang Bian's face turned ashen and defeated like a dead fish in an instant, but he refused to admit his guilt, and shouted endlessly.
