Chapter 468 Military Order

Hearing this, Zhang Tiannan looked at Wei Zhi in surprise, "Your Highness, Second Prince, do you think the guards in the palace are missing?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you, Commander Zhang, can you take the guards in the palace to identify it?"

"Okay, the last general just doesn't know who the two dead people are." Zhang Tiannan said, and asked the emperor for instructions: "Your Majesty, look——"

"Go, go and have a look first."

Zhang Tiannan went out, Wei Zhi looked around for a week, and landed on the dagger on the table, "What? Didn't the fourth brother kill him?"

"No, I didn't kill anyone."

"Then it's strange, this dagger is obviously the dagger of your fourth prince's residence."

"It's true, and I can't figure out why."

"Why don't you go back and see, is the dagger from the Fourth Prince's Mansion still there? As far as I know, each of our brothers has four of these daggers. The gems inlaid on the handle of the dagger are priceless, and it's not so easy to fake .”

"Alright, father, I think what the second brother said makes sense, why don't you ask Qin Wu to go back and have a look, and give my son and father an answer."

"It's fine, you go tell Qin Wu, and bring someone from the palace."

Wei Zhi said: "Father, it's time to go to court."

Sure enough, there was a trace of fish belly glowing white outside the window, Wei Mingru sighed, "Come here, wait for me to change clothes, let's go to court first."

Putting the matter of going to the court first, Luo Ziyan also got up and went to the morning court.

There is nothing too important in the morning.

After discussing two small matters, he went down to court.

After coming down to court, Luo Ziyan went to Long'an Palace again.

Outside Long'an Hall, Qin Wu was already kneeling and waiting, with a heavy melancholy on his face.

Wei Zhi accompanied the emperor back to the palace.

Zhang Tiannan also left and returned.

"Are you all here?"

"Yes."

Wei Mingru sat down on the dragon couch, "Okay, let's talk."

"Your Majesty, the General has already sent someone to identify them. Indeed, the two deceased are guards in the palace, who are responsible for patrolling and guarding the palace at night." Zhang Tiannan said first.

"Oh? Since it should be from the palace? How could it be outside?" Luo Ziyan questioned.

"I don't know. The general asked a lot of guards. They all said that the two were not on duty last night and should have gone to bed early. But later, the guards who patrolled back didn't find them. They didn't feel something was wrong until midnight. Dahe’s court has many rules, according to the rules, they shouldn’t stay out all night.”

"Are there any other clues?" Wei Zhi asked.

"Well, there are still no other clues."

Luo Ziyan was listening all the time, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't they have any rivals or people with bad relations?"

"I haven't heard of it. They don't know each other very well." Zhang Tiannan replied.

"Father, my son has already understood. I believe my father has also understood. My son is indeed the most suspicious person, but I really didn't kill anyone. Yesterday, Miss Fan's family has been staying at the fourth prince's mansion. Here, Erchen didn't go out for almost a day."

Wei Mingru also thought about it carefully, "That's strange, how could the guards in our palace be killed without any problems."

"Yes, and the fourth brother was there at the time, it's too coincidental." Wei Zhi said softly.

"By the way." Wei Zhi looked at Qin Wu outside the hall as if remembering something, "Qin Wu, how many jeweled daggers do you have in the fourth prince's residence?"

Hearing this, Qin Wu frowned, and said softly, "Two."

Hearing this, Wei Zhi widened his eyes, "Sure enough, two."

"Yes. But these daggers are all stored in the warehouse. After the servant returned, he and the princess went to the warehouse to check. Since we returned to Dahe, we have never opened the door of the warehouse. How could there be less With two daggers, we really can't figure it out."

Hearing this, Wei Mingru looked at Luo Ziyan again, with a look of irritability in his eyes.

It's such a mess.

He reprimanded Luo Ziyan: "You too, you have only come back for a long time, and this happened to you."

"Father, my son feels that this matter needs to be investigated carefully." Wei Zhi continued: "This is a guard in the palace. The lives of those guards are as cheap as dogs, but they are human lives in the end, so if I don’t give an explanation, I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Wei Zhi's every word is pressing Luo Ziyan.

Luo Ziyan could hear it, but in front of Wei Mingru, he had no choice but to pretend he didn't hear it.

He can't argue with Wei Zhi, especially at this time.

Wei Mingru thought for a while, "Fourth brother, tell me the truth, did you kill this person? You are my son. Even if you did kill someone, no one would really do anything to you. .”

"My son did not kill anyone." Luo Ziyan said again.

"This matter is a bit troublesome." Wei Zhi said on the side: "We believe in the fourth brother, but we are afraid that others will not believe it. If false rumors are spread, who knows what will happen in the end."

Wei Zhi's slender Danfeng eyes flashed a touch of treachery.

"Father, actually, my son has another idea." Luo Ziyan still ignored Wei Zhi, but said to Wei Mingru.

"What do you think?" Wei Mingru looked at Luo Ziyan.

"That's right. I've thought about it before. Since this matter is the most suspicious, I can't just open my mouth and talk about it. Therefore, it's better for the father to give me a hand." Let me take this opportunity to investigate in person. Give yourself a clean slate and give the two dead guards justice."

"Oh?" Wei Mingru was slightly surprised, "Can you?"

"My son wants to try it out."

Wei Zhi sighed, "Fourth brother, I don't think so, let's press this matter down."

"What if it can't be suppressed? Second brother, I think it's better to continue the investigation. This way, it's not a bad thing for me. If the second brother doesn't believe it, then I'll just issue a military order."

"Haha?" Wei Zhi's eyes lit up, "A military order, what kind of military order is it?"

"Well, give me some time. I'll try my best to investigate. I'll find out the best, but if I don't, I, Wei Xuan, will be responsible for the killing of the two guards."

"Is this true?"

"Of course, if a gentleman says a word, it's hard to follow a horse. I can't talk nonsense when my father is here."

Wei Zhi frowned deliberately, "Father, the fourth brother is like this—"

Wei Mingru looked at Wei Xuan with some surprise, "Fourth brother, are you sure you're telling the truth?"

"How can you joke in front of the father, what my son said is absolutely true."

"Okay, then I will give you this chance. I hope you can really prove your innocence and give an explanation to the two guards who died."

"How many days does it take for the fourth brother? There must be a time limit, right?"

Luo Ziyan smiled, "Seven days."
