Chapter 184

"Your Majesty, can I ask, why did you issue the killing order three months ago?" Bai Xiuyu also asked.

The emperor was in trouble, he hesitated and said: "The high priest said to the widow, and the widow doesn't think there is anything wrong with putting those criminals to death to avenge Wen Shan."

"Breaking the law should indeed be punished accordingly, but it is not the actions of a wise king to plunge the whole country into bloodbath because of personal feelings." Bai Xiuyu's righteous words were indeed blocked by the emperor.

The king who kills innocents indiscriminately is not a wise king, but a foolish one!

Zhuge smiled and saw that he was lost in thought, and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why the high priest said that to you, or, in fact, he was the one who encouraged you to issue that imperial decree?"

Wang Di looked at Zhuge's smiling expression with a dazed expression, but he also appeared confused.

"The high priest is a god. He told the widows that some people died unjustly and painfully. If they can't be relieved, then God will never let his soul rest in peace..." The emperor's expression became gloomy again.

"So you thought of Princess Wenshan? So you want to kill all the criminals in the Kingdom of God?" Zhuge asked sensitively with a smile.

The king's silence is also tantamount to acquiescing.

Zhuge Xiaoxiao and Bai Xiuyu can basically explain the reasons for so many "slaughter" clearly now, out of selfishness, so that people of the same attribute will be punished.

It doesn't matter whether this is out of selfishness or anger, what is important is that this can't go on like this.

Bai Xiuyu said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Please tell me." The emperor was already a little numb at this time, and he gradually began to understand in his heart whether he was too impulsive, or maybe, in fact, he seemed to be being used by others.

Looking at the man who was already a little sober, Bai Xiuyu didn't mind reminding him one more point: "Three months have killed many people. Although there are many people who deserved their crimes, Renjun cannot continue to indulge like this. Besides, this time His anger will inevitably cause an uproar in the Kingdom of God in the future, and it is too late for His Majesty to stop now."

The emperor looked at him fixedly, and he sat quietly without any fear.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is going to prepare the imperial decree." Eunuch Shi stepped back after receiving a look from the emperor.

"Do you...do you think that the widows are no longer able to distinguish between right and wrong?" Wang Di asked with a wry smile.

"The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless, turning back is the shore." Zhuge smiled and spit out a Buddhist saying, and she was also glad that what she said was not "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately", otherwise this king would really become a monk, and she still couldn't bear the crime.

"..." Both Bai Xiuyu and Wang Di had red faces.

"Is there anything else you need to investigate?" The emperor was not that stupid, but he quickly frowned again, "The death of the auxiliary minister..."

"We will leave here after we find the murderer." Zhuge smiled and said quickly, "But before that, there are some things that need your majesty to cooperate with us in investigating."

There are ten people around Princess Wenshan, besides the two old mothers, there are also four maids and four bodyguards, and two imperial doctors are not ruled out.

When the emperor revealed what the successor high priest had said to him three months ago, both Zhuge Xiaoxiao and Bai Xiuyu were very sure that "that person" when he persuaded the emperor was Princess Wenshan.

Revenge, revenge with a very broad target.

The emperor himself said that after the incident, he started the mission of assassination, and all the damned people were silenced, so how did the high priest know?
Zhuge Xiaoxiao also had a conversation with him that day, and he also talked about similar problems. At that time, he had mood swings.In the dark, there are always some things that are connected together, even if they have been deliberately hidden, there will always be the slightest clue.

The person who enlightened Princess Wenshan is very important, and the most urgent task is to find that person, whether dead or alive!

Without the emperor's help in this matter, it would be difficult for Zhuge Xiaoxiao and the others to find the truth by relying on their identities as outsiders.But now that the emperor has made a move, although I feel a little guilty towards him, but to paraphrase the previous sentence, it should be regarded as accumulating some virtue for Princess Wenshan!

Bai Xiuyu and Zhuge Xiaoxiao said that they had achieved consummation here. Although there are still things to do next, but this time the emperor personally arranged a place for them to live in first.

The place where she lives is in a big house in Wangcheng, which was originally the rare place where Princess Wenshan would live after leaving the palace.

According to Eunuch Shi, Princess Wenshan has only been out of the palace four times since she was a child, and she only lived in the mansion each time.Although Princess Wenshan has passed away now, Zhuge Xiaoxiao did not refuse to live there, and maybe he will find some clues.

The people in the temple were dissatisfied with the emperor's arbitrary claims, but this was the idea of ​​the Ninth Prince of Xixia Kingdom himself. If he wanted to stay in the Kingdom of God for a few more days, there was no need to continue to stay in the temple to be "surveilled" and live in a place arranged by the royal family. place, of course.

Although the king's intention at the beginning was to let them leave, the king also listened to the words of the high priest.

In summary, the high priest is currently the most suspect.

However, there is another person that cannot be ignored - the man in black who may have a relationship with Tong Le!

Wu Shiyi and others, who were busy looking for clues for a day, went to the new residence and immediately softened into a puddle of mud. Tong Le's body is quite small, but her physical strength is good. When she came back, she was pale and pale. What an exaggerated gasp.

"Tong Le, sit down and rest for a while." Zhuge looked at the pale boy with a smile, and the motherhood in his heart suddenly came out.If his own mother saw her son like this, I'm afraid she wouldn't feel good either!

Tong Le pursed her lips and sat down, her eyes were not as bright as before.

"Miss..." He called softly, but hesitated to speak.

"Didn't find a clue?" Zhuge Xiaoxiao asked without waiting for him to say it.

Tong Le lowered his head silently.

"Miss, this time is really strange!" Wu Shiyi said weakly.

Nalan Xin sat down on the chaise longue chair, "I still had some clues when I checked a person before, but when I checked Tong Le, let alone, it was nothing."
