People on the street were talking a lot.
Although the higher-ups tried their best to cover up the news, a lot of rumors still came out.
This third princess has pretty good tricks and even arrested businessmen from the Western Regions. Is she trying to interrogate the origins of Qianhun Yin?
But after such a long time, it may be difficult to find out.
Lin Bai also frowned.
Although Gu Qiankuang is 100% sure of getting into the water, he has not yet figured out how to find a breakthrough.
The main reason is that we have too little information.
No choice but to wait.
Fortunately, Gu Qiankuang didn't keep him waiting long. Yi Xueyun came in the afternoon and gave an overview of the current situation.
The imperial doctor committed suicide, the palace maid committed suicide, and after the third princess captured some people, two of them committed suicide.
And this undoubtedly further confirmed that something was fishy.
"In other words, there is no useful evidence yet?"
Lin Bai looked at Yi Xueyun and asked.
He was not surprised. After all, it had been ten years. A lot of things could be done in ten years, which was enough to smooth everything out. It was beyond expectation that two people would commit suicide.
"good!"
Yi Xueyun said, "Although the third princess is doing her best to investigate thoroughly, it is too long ago and the turnover of personnel is too large. I am afraid it will be difficult to gain anything in a short time."
Lin Bai nodded and asked, "What's the reaction from the Second Prince?"
Yi Xueyun said: "At first, I opposed a thorough investigation on the grounds that it would damage the majesty of the royal family. Now that I know I can't hide, I am fighting for the right to investigate. Some ministers asked the three princesses to hand over the information for a thorough investigation in the name of the queen being the master of the Sixth Palace. right."
"But she was sternly rejected by the third princess."
Lin Bai asked again: "The third princess sealed off the imperial hospital and directly arrested the people around the queen. What is your majesty's attitude?"
"His Majesty thought that the former queen was the biological mother of the third princess, so he did not blame him. At the same time, he rejected the proposal to let the queen take responsibility. The queen also took the initiative to avoid suspicion."
"Master Lin, the queen is confident, but I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
Yi Xueyun said worriedly.
Lin Baixin said: You still have to say it.
But he said: "That's not necessarily the case."
A glimmer of light flashed in Yi Xueyun's eyes, "Is there something Mr. Lin can do?"
In fact, he and Gu Qiankuang had discussed the possibility of the matter before, but based on the known situation, they came to the conclusion that it was almost impossible to find evidence.
After all, ten years later, all the evidence has been wiped out.
The Queen's initiative to avoid suspicion is a sign of confidence.
Lin Bai pretended to say: "There is never a perfect crime in this world. As long as it is a crime, there will always be traces left."
oh?
Yi Xueyun looked like he was willing to hear the details.
Lin Bai thought for a while and said: "Assuming that the Queen really did this, who would she let do it so that she can rest assured?"
Yi Xueyun said: "Nature is the person you trust the most."
"good!"
Lin Bai said, "The most trusted or closest person, but she is a concubine in the harem, and those around her cannot leave the palace at will, so she can only rely on people outside the palace to obtain Qianhunyin, and who does she trust the most outside the palace? ?It’s nothing more than the Cui family.”
Yi Xueyun nodded, "To be precise, it's the current head of the Cui family, Cui Wenhua."
If we really want to take action, this matter cannot be planned by the queen alone, the Cui family must be involved.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "This is her flaw."
"Isn't there a saying that only dead people can keep secrets? According to the information, after the former queen's incident, two of the queen's maids left the palace and got married. That's what they say, but they are probably dead. Looking back You can go check it out.”
"She can handle the trusted palace maids around her, but what about Cui Wenhua? Can she handle it? So someone still knows about this matter."
Yi Xueyun said: "What you said is correct, but how could Cui Wenhua betray the queen?"
"I'm just using an analogy to tell you that things are not as flawless as you think. As long as she has done it, there will definitely be traces left."
Lin Bai said, "Moreover, even Cui Wenhua may not betray the queen. It is just a matter of bargaining chips. Assume that one side is the entire Cui family and the other is the queen, and he is asked to make a choice. What do you think he will choose?"
this?
Yi Xueyun's eyes brightened slightly, "It seems that Mr. Lin is confident."
Bamboo!
Goth is just messing around. In the Wu Dynasty, there is no foundation at all, so what qualifications does Cui Wenhua have to make a choice? This is no joke.
Of course, he wouldn't say that.
"It doesn't count as being confident, but I do have some ideas. Go back and check the palace maids I mentioned, and then focus on the Cui family. This is the best breakthrough."
The Cui family is the second prince's greatest support. If he kills the Cui family, it will be like breaking the second prince's legs.
I will never be able to jump up again.
Yi Xueyun did not rush to agree, but asked: "I wonder how confident Mr. Lin is?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Before Mr. Yi came, Lin was only 50% sure, but now, it is at least 80%."
Eighty percent?
Yi Xueyun's pupils were bright. It is usually said that 80% is almost certain, and the remaining 20% is just for fear of leaving a way out for himself.
But there is nothing special about what he just said and the information in his hand! Why did the other party just...
He was extremely curious and was about to ask.
Lin Bai spoke first: "There is no doubt that our goals are the same. If this thing is done, it will be good for you and me. Otherwise, it will be good for neither you nor me."
"The intention to form an alliance has been reached, and our interests have been integrated."
Of course, if there is a pot, you will naturally carry it. With such a small body, how can you carry it?
The great talent added in his mind.
"Sir, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, right?"
After Yi Xueyun retreated, Ji Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask.
Because Ji Xiaofeng was born in the Feilong Guard and was very good at investigating crimes, Lin Bai would not let go of the ready-made talents.
"It's really not simple."
Lin Bai nodded and said, "It is almost impossible to find evidence."
Ji Xiaofeng was startled for a moment, "Then Sir..."
Lin Bai said: "Actually, the evidence is not important at all. What is important is His Majesty the Wu Dynasty's attitude. As the Feilong Guard, you should understand that for whomever Your Majesty wants to prosecute, the evidence will naturally be there. For whomever Your Majesty does not want to prosecute, even if the evidence is conclusive, it will not be exposed to the light."
"And now it's the queen, do you think the evidence is important?"
Ji Xiaofeng nodded, "That's right! The evidence is really not important."
Lin Bai continued: "The Queen is the lord of the Sixth Palace and the mother of a country. The third princess's behavior did not take her seriously at all and was clearly targeted at her, but His Majesty Wu Chao condoned it."
"Although it seems that His Majesty Wu Chao is sympathetic to the third princess's feelings, if he really wanted to minimize the big issue, he would have stopped it at that time and would never have allowed the matter to develop into the current situation."
Ji Xiaofeng said: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Maybe His Majesty Wu Chao is in a dilemma? Moreover, although the evidence is not important, without it, the name is not justified."
"How much family affection can an emperor have?"
Lin Bai smiled, "As for the evidence, it's not easy. We just send it to them."
"No! It should be the fourth prince of the Wu Dynasty, it has nothing to do with us."
At this time, Gu Qiankuang's eyelids suddenly twitched as he was listening to Yi Xueyun's report, "Mr. Yi, is it the left eye or the right eye that is twitching?"
Just after he asked, his other eyelid also twitched.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
