Chapter 257 surfaced
Coming out of the prison, Xiao Junjue went straight to the office of the Dali Temple, "Bring me the file on the case of the murder of Mrs. Rong in the Ronghou Mansion."

Yu Qiushui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, pondered for a while, bowed his head and said: "There is an order from the Holy Spirit, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not allowed to interfere with this case, and I forgive you for not being able to do so."

Nighthawk raised his sword, "Just take it if you tell me, there's so much nonsense, don't scare us with the Holy Spirit!"

"Nighthawk don't be presumptuous!" Xiao Junjue ordered him to stop.

Nighthawk was not reconciled, and said in a heavy voice: "My lord!"

Xiao Junjue frowned, "Put it down!"

Nighthawk gritted his teeth, unwilling to put down his sword.

Yu Qiushui was also helpless, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Junjue, "My lord, please forgive me, I am also acting according to the order. This case involves the princess. To avoid suspicion, it is really inappropriate for the lord to check the case file."

The Minister of Dali Temple is also because of his relationship with the Duke Huguo. Emperor Xiaojing ordered him not to be in charge of the case. Now this case is all due to Qiu Shui.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely investigate this case. If the concubine is not the murderer, I will never wrong her."

Yu Qiushui has a good reputation in the officialdom, and the cases he has handled have never been wronged. Xiao Junjue has a good impression of him.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Jun said: "If there is any difficulty in the investigation process, feel free to ask Chu Palace for help."

"Yes, definitely."

After leaving the gate of Dali Temple, Ye Ying said: "My lord, don't you care about the concubine? How can we rely on them if Dali Temple can find out anything?"

"Of course we can't ignore it." Xiao Junjue stopped and looked back at him, "If we don't let us investigate openly, we will investigate secretly. This king doesn't believe it. If the murderer kills someone, there will be no evidence left."

Nighthawk nodded and frowned again, "By the way, the maid who testified against the princess died yesterday."

"Dead? How did you die?"

"The specific reason is unknown, but the Ronghou Mansion said that it was a mistake and fell into the water."

"Falling into the water again?" Xiao Jun laughed coldly, "The Fengshui of Ronghou Mansion is so bad, people always fall into the water."

"My lord, you mean..." Ye Ying narrowed his eyes, "Someone killed someone to silence him?"

"You have been with me for so long, is it that your brain is getting worse and worse, and you can't see such obvious things?"

"This subordinate has been worrying about the princess these few days, and his mind is foggy, and he can't get anything out." Nighthawk was annoyed, "I should have caught her if I knew it earlier, maybe I could attract someone who would kill her. "Nighthawk patted his head.

"Thank you for not doing this, otherwise if she died in your hands, she would not be able to wash away even if she jumped into the Yellow River." Xiao Junjue narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling what Rong Zhao said in prison just now, thinking deeply with.

Ye Ying changed the subject and said: "Ye Xiao said that the prince was assassinated, but was he injured?"

Xiao Junjue was visiting Yuzhou for Emperor Xiaojing this time, but before he left, a group of assassins suddenly rushed in. Although he was not injured, the prefect of Yuzhou who sent him away wasted his life.

"I'm fine." Xiao Jun came back to his senses, and rode over to meet Ye Xiao.Ye Xiao got off his horse and said, "My lord, the captured assassin confessed that he was sent by Young Master Jiang of Uncle Changsheng's mansion."

Nighthawk was startled, "Jiang Bojian? Jiang Bojian is now King Jin's man." He suddenly looked at Xiao Junjue, "Could it be that he was ordered by King Jin to assassinate the prince?"

Nighthawk was very angry, "It must be him! He is really despicable! The prince must tell the Holy Majesty about this."

"It won't be the King of Jin!" Xiao Junjue said with certainty, "Everyone will think of him when something happens to me at this time. He wants to make a good reputation in everything he does, and he won't do things that are not good for his reputation. .”

The tension in Xiao Junjue's heart unfolded little by little, "Although Jiang Bojian is disabled now, he has a deep scheming mind. With his mind, he would not do such a thing. The king was assassinated, and everyone thought of it first. What King Jin did, he should have thought of it before everyone else, and he shouldn't have done that."

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment, and said: "But he just did this. If the assassination was successful, the Holy One must suspect that it was the King Jin who did it. If it was unsuccessful, he would also suspect the King Jin. I also thought of King Jin."

Two tigers are fighting, and if one dies, others will think it was done by the other.

"Prince Jin is not that stupid, nor is Jiang Bojian." Xiao Jun said.

"Then why did Jiang Bojian do this?" Ye Xiao asked, and after a while, he had a bold guess in his heart, and his pupils lit up instantly.

Xiao Junjue looked at him, "Do you have any ideas?"

Ye Xiao said: "Some people want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching the prince and the prince fight, just like the Jin king and the deposed prince fighting back then."

"To challenge the king and the king of Jin?" Xiao Junjue held his breath, "If that's the case, then Jiang Bojian is not from the king of Jin."

Ye Ying and Ye Xiao looked at each other, and then looked at him together.

Then why did Jiang Bojian assassinate the prince?Whose person would it be?

Back at Prince Chu's mansion, Xiao Junjue locked himself in the study room. Now the whole thing is too complicated and messy, and he needs to sort it out.

He spread out the whole thing, and described everything and every detail on a piece of paper. Looking at that piece of paper, he slowly became enlightened.

Two days later, following the murder of the old lady in the Ronghou Mansion, another major event happened.The little-known Ding family was wiped out overnight.

If it was before, in a place like Changge City, no one would know about a small Ding family.But during this time, the family was in the limelight. The daughter of the family died, insisting that Princess Chu forced her to death with a few words, and placed the coffin at the gate of the Chu Palace.Another point is that the dead old lady in the Ronghou Mansion was the aunt of the Ding family.

Everyone thought that the king of Chu killed the Ding family to vent his anger, but after investigation by the Ministry of Punishment and the Division of Dali Temple, they pointed to the Changsheng uncle's mansion.

There is no trace of struggle on each corpse of the Ding family, only the heart part, piercing the heart with an arrow, the killer's technique is quite clean and neat, and such a neat technique can only be achieved by the rampant sword technique from the Jiang family.

It should be said that Uncle Changsheng's mansion has no contact with Ding's family at all, but why should Ding's family be wiped out?

In this Dali Temple's investigation of the case of the murder of the old lady in the Ronghou Mansion, a new loophole was discovered.

In Mrs. Rong's Heng Mu Zhai, there is a place that is ignored by everyone.There is a rear window in the inner room of Mrs. Rong, which will hardly open.

But later the investigators found that the window was obviously opened. Not only that, but they also surprisingly found that a series of footprints were left behind the window that had not been opened all year round.

Because it rained the day before the incident and the land was muddy, even the murderer didn't care that he would leave such important evidence when he fled.

The footprints were one deep and one shallow, obviously left by a lame person.

And that day in Ronghou Mansion, there was only one lame person, and that was Jiang Bojian.

But this is just speculation, there is no conclusive evidence, no one would dare to search a Junbo mansion because of speculation without the order of the Holy Majesty.

But because of the extermination of the Ding family, there was an opportunity. The Criminal Department of Dali Temple combined the two cases to investigate the case of the Ding family extermination on the surface, but on the other hand, it was also looking for evidence of Jiang Bojian's murder.

They found the shoes Jiang Bojian wore that day in his room, and compared them with the shoe prints left at the scene, they were exactly the same.

And because the old lady loves flowers and is willing to smell their fragrance, all kinds of flowers are planted under the surrounding windows.Perhaps the old lady had a spirit in the sky, and a flower petal happened to be stuck on his shoe.

The flower is a drunken hibiscus, white in the morning, pink in the afternoon, and red in the evening, and the color of that petal happened to be pink, which means that Jiang Bojian once walked through the window of the old lady's room at noon that day. That's when the old lady died.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Jiang Bojian was imprisoned. Although he kept crying out for injustice, he couldn't resist being betrayed.

The maid who brought tea and pastries to Rong Zhao confessed that she was ordered by the third son-in-law to put ecstasy in Miss Six's tea.

Her confession completely clarified Rong Zhao and brought the case to the surface.

As for the maid who fell into the water, she was bought by Jiang Bojian and overheard the jokes between Rong Zhao and Rong Yao, and then Jiang Bojian asked her to steal a dagger from Rong Zhao and use it. This dagger that belonged to Rong Zhao killed the old lady, and brought the unconscious Rong Zhao into the inner room, making everyone see it.When the time comes, the servant girl will stand up and testify against Rong Zhao.

And why he did this caused another wave.A few days ago, Changsheng Bo's Mansion had a close relationship with Jin Wang's Mansion. In the eyes of everyone, Changsheng Bo's Mansion was already on the Jin King's side.

Now that the King of Chu is in the limelight, the King of Jin is also at a disadvantage compared to him. Especially this time, the search for places was done by the King of Jin in the past, but now it is the King of Chu.Obviously, the Holy Majesty now values ​​the King of Chu even more.

This is very unfavorable to King Jin.

The King of Chu has no foundation in the court. If he has any, it is just some inextricable connections brought to him by Princess Chu.Although these clues are inconspicuous, and they have not stated that they are on the side of the King of Chu, if they really have this intention, then the power of the King of Chu will be unstoppable.

Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the king of Chu before his wings are full, and the best way is to cut off the princess of Chu.

A dispute between the female family members in the back house suddenly became a dispute in the court. Princess Chu was accused of being a murderer before, but now she has become a victim of power disputes, and the people shouted that she was playing without thinking. Can't turn around.

As for the Ding family, why they were exterminated, in some wild guesses, it turned out that the Ding family and Jiang Bojian teamed up to frame Princess Chu, and finally Jiang Bojian killed their family and exterminated their family.

Who told them to go see Mrs. Rong so well, if they hadn't colluded in advance, how could it be precisely that time that people saw the false appearance of Princess Chu's murder.
