At this time.
When the prince heard that Ye Jinlian had been rescued, he said eagerly: "Father, when Miss Ye comes back, she will definitely prove that my son has nothing to do with the murder of Ye Mansion!"
He finally breathed a sigh of relief!
As long as everyone doesn't keep an eye on his private army in the Yangzhou Mountains!
Even if Ye Jinlian comes back, there is no evidence to prove that he wiped out the entire Ye family!
"Report..."
The spies from the Imperial City Department rushed over: "Your Majesty, Miss Ye Jinlian has left the Western Mountain and entered the official road. She is only ten miles away from the west gate of the imperial capital. She is rushing back at full speed under the protection of Huangzhou's personal guards!"
"Tell the Huangzhou camp guards to protect them for me!"
"yes!"
The spies from the Imperial City Department flew away.
At this time.
Emperor Xia looked at the prince Xia Bao who was busy wiping away the cold sweat, with a look of disappointment on his face and said nothing!
However, his expression fell into the eyes of the courtiers in the room, and it seemed that he said everything!
The princeling’s heart sank!
I have a bad heart!
They had also seen this expression on Emperor Xia's face before the previous two princes were deposed.
The new prince is in danger!
to be honest!
Emperor Xia knew very well that Prince Xia Bao was raising private soldiers in Yangzhou, but he pretended not to know because no one was involved!
To be honest, he is looking forward to the performance of the Yangzhou private army!
He was looking forward to Prince Xia Bao’s surprise!
However, the surprise did not come, but the stupidity came first!
The prince who could not bear to mess up his big plan was not worthy of his expectations!
At this moment, Emperor Xia had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Now, the refugees from Yangzhou filed a complaint, and the collection of taxes and money was implicated in the prince's raising of a private army. Together with a "magic" anonymous letter, this matter was put on the bright side. He couldn't help but It doesn’t work!
If it is confirmed that the prince is raising a private army in Yangzhou, according to the laws of the Great Xia Empire, the prince will be charged with treason!
That Xia Bao is the deposed third prince of the Great Xia Empire!
However, if Prince Xia Bao is deposed, who will check and balance Xiao Jiu who has just entered the court?
Emperor Xia's imperial mentality forced him to think about this issue!
then.
He put aside the matter of the prince raising a private army for the time being, and was ready to wait and see what the situation would be like!
Emperor Xia thought about it and changed the subject: "Xiaojiu, how do you know Ye Jinlian is not dead? And you escaped from the imperial capital?"
"When did your Huangzhou personal guard camp leave the imperial capital to rescue people?"
Seeing that Emperor Xia no longer asked about the private army in Yangzhou, Xia Tian smiled calmly, probably guessing what Emperor Xia was thinking!
He said calmly and calmly: "Father, Emperor Mingjian!"
"The body of the dead maid in the backyard of Ye Mansion died because she was pretending to be Miss Ye Jinlian. This means that she discovered the danger and the substitute misled the killer!"
"My son did not find Miss Ye's body in Ye Mansion, which means that she escaped from Ye Mansion."
Xia Tian added: "At least, she did not die in Ye Mansion!"
"When I entered the Ye Mansion, within the entire imperial capital, the Imperial City Department, the Imperial City Patrol Battalion, the Huangzhou Prince's Guard Battalion, and the Criminal Department were all looking for people and arresting the murderer throughout the city. If Miss Ye was in the city, she would definitely Will come out and seek asylum!"
"But, she did not appear, and her body was not found in the city!"
"So, I judged at that time that if Miss Ye was still alive, she must have escaped from the imperial capital!"
"At that time, after finding clues about the culprit in Ye Mansion, Erchen led his people to track down the East Palace and set up a posture to besiege the East Palace and catch the murderer!"
"At the same time, we sealed off the entire city and put on a show of not giving up if we couldn't find anyone. We turned the imperial capital into a huge prison for the murderers and spread the pressure into the hearts of the murderers!"
"I believe that the thieves hiding in the East Palace will have a guilty conscience and will take risks out of the city out of fear that they will not be able to hide their desperation."
"So, the boy deliberately confronted the prince, increased the pressure, and passed it on to the murderers in the East Palace!"
"At the same time, when I besieged the Prince's Mansion, I also left a way out for the murderers!"
At this time, the whole city was silent, listening to Xia Tian speculate on the case!
"Sure enough, when the father came, I received a report from the spies. Several officers and soldiers dressed as the Imperial City Defense Battalion came out from the side door of the East Palace. They took the prince's token along the way and left the west gate of the Imperial Capital unimpeded. They entered the Western Mountain of the Imperial Capital. ."
Emperor Xia's eyes flashed with excitement, and he guessed: "So, while I was here to listen to the imperial decree, your Huangzhou guards followed these thugs pretending to be soldiers from the Imperial Capital into the Western Mountains to look for people?"
"Father is wise!"
"If I am not mistaken, these murderers are leaving the city at this time, firstly to estrange their relationship with the East Palace and the Crown Prince!"
"The second is to go out of the city to strengthen the strength and hunt down Miss Ye!"
"Sure enough, my Huangzhou bodyguard followed the clues and rescued Miss Ye, and also captured the murderer of Ye Mansion's murder case!"
After hearing this, Emperor Xia's face was filled with admiration: "Xiao Jiu, you are indeed my Qilin'er!"
"No wonder, you dare to set up a military order in front of me to solve the case in one day... You have my style!"
"Hehehe..."
Li Jian flattered him at the right time: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes. You are the true dragon emperor, and the Nine Princes are no different!"
"This is called, a tiger father has no dog son!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia smiled and scolded: "You old guy, besides being annoying, your words still make me happy."
Finished saying this.
The smile on Emperor Xia's face faded: "Xiaojiu, is that murderer really from the East Palace?"
"yes!"
Xia Tian replied seriously: "I dare not deceive my father. He indeed slipped out of the city from the East Palace."
The prince finally couldn't help but jumped on his feet and said: "Brother Ninth Prince, I have nothing to do with the Ye family's murder case. Don't try to bite me!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it has nothing to do with them, and I believe it."
The prince's face relaxed: "Really?"
"real!"
Xia Tian said seriously: "In addition to being the prince, you are also the royal brother of my younger brother. We are brothers. Blood is thicker than water. I will definitely trust you!"
The prince was quite moved when he heard this!
However, Xia Tian changed the subject: "But, the murderer who started the bloodbath of the Ye family has been staying in the East Palace. He used the East Palace Golden Token to leave the city... That is your personal token. It usually stays with you when you see the prince. Jin Ling is like meeting the prince himself. If the royal brother does not have a reasonable explanation for this matter, the world will not believe it!"
Prince: "..."
Xia Tian asked seriously: "Brother Emperor, how did those murderers end up in your East Palace?"
“Why is your token on them?
"Are you really not related?"
The prince really can’t answer!
Damn it, you are so hypocritical!
Xia Tian continued to ask: "Furthermore, the emperor's brother imposed arbitrary taxes on the Yangzhou fiefdom, causing countless people in Yangzhou to have their families destroyed. These people are now filing a petition here. Does the emperor's brother want to give them an explanation?"
Finally, Xia Tuqiong saw him and brought up a topic that neither Emperor Xia nor the prince wanted to mention: "Moreover, the tax money collected by the emperor was not handed over, but was used to support the private army in the mountains. Isn't this matter? Do you also want to give an explanation to your father and the imperial court?"
At this time, this series of questions made two words flash in the minds of Emperor Xia and all the courtiers: "Death!"
The prince cried!
Damn it, Lao Jiu, this is going to kill people and kill people!
He has no answer!
Emperor Xia looked at Xia Tian with a complicated expression!
There was silence!
The wind, blowing gently, chilled the heart of the princeling!
The king of Huangzhou is worthy of being the prince’s nemesis!
Prince Summer Storm, is it going to end again?
Is the East Palace going to be ownerless again?
Shortly after.
"Da da da......"
Bai Hu led Huangzhou's personal guards to protect Ye Jinlian and kneeled in front of Emperor Xia!
Ye Jinlian was haggard, her face and body were stained with blood, and she was crying so hard that it made people pity her: "Your Majesty, the prince has destroyed the entire Ye family, please make the decision for me!"
at this time.
The prince felt that his scalp was numb, his whole body was cold, and he wanted to faint on the spot!
How should he save himself?
