Chapter 276
When he was struggling, Pei Songzhi saw that the emperor was staring at him with deep eyes again, he was so frightened that he didn't even bother to wipe off his sweat, so he hurried to help.

Guards are fearless.

Pei Songzhi wanted to be lazy, even if he was being stared at by the emperor.

"I didn't expect you to be as cowardly as a mouse." Seeing Pei Songzhi stealing and playing tricks in front of him, the emperor looked down upon him.

"The main reason is that the former prince is in the coffin, and the humble minister is afraid of disturbing the former prince." Pei Songzhi excused awkwardly, and he would still contribute when he should.

The coffin was opened, but they all lowered their heads in unison.

"Go and have a look." The emperor kicked Pei Song.

"My minister complies with the decree." Being called, Pei Songzhi quickly replied, cautiously probed, and opened a gap, the things inside were not clear enough, but it made him suspicious, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "The emperor... "

"Say." The emperor frowned.

"Why don't you take a look yourself, Your Majesty." Pei Songzhi cautiously persuaded.

The emperor took a look, the person inside should be a doll, the clothes were all worn when he was encoffined, but he had a stone head, and his facial features were exactly the same as that of the former prince.

Not only that, the stone head seemed to be fixed on the coffin by iron nails, the emperor looked at the nails behind the ears, it was really nailed to the coffin, there seemed to be something wrong.

"Your Majesty, be careful." Seeing that he wanted to touch the things inside, Pei Songzhi desperately hugged him down.

The guard looked dumbfounded.

"Let go." The emperor's face darkened, he had never been hugged like this before, he didn't seem to remember the feeling of being hugged, and looked at Pei Songzhi with a complicated expression for a while.

"Let me do this kind of thing." Pei Songzhi immediately withdrew his hand, and touched lightly here and there with the hilt of his sword, but he didn't notice anything strange.

The emperor and the two guards looked at him with black lines on their faces. Women were not as troublesome as he was.

"There seems to be something wrong here." After Pei Songzhi checked, he found strange places. Stones were placed at the position of the heart, as well as the positions of the hands and feet, and the shapes were all humanoid.

When he exposed the stone part, Pei Songzhi looked down from above, always feeling suspicious no matter how he looked, everything in the coffin revealed strangeness.

The emperor felt even more uncomfortable after taking a look at it, and became even more furious when he thought that it was this thing that he worshiped just now, and all this seemed to be heresy.

"check!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Open the coffin for an autopsy, cut it first and play it later, of course not, the emperor claimed to the outside world that when he was worshiping, the first emperor entrusted him with a dream and told him the secrets in the coffin.

Originally, he didn't believe such absurd things after waking up, but when he wanted to leave, he felt a mysterious force in the dark that made him turn his head back.

He chose to verify the authenticity of the first emperor's dream, never thought that someone would dare to fool the Tian family like this, the coffin of the late prince was carried to the main hall, and all civil and military officials fell silent.

It was shocking to hear that the empress dowager fell ill because of this matter, and the emperor walked away. The officials in the hall were panicked, but they couldn't explain why. It's true that anything can happen to you if you live a long time.

Pei Songzhi secretly observed the expressions of other people in the hall, and found nothing suspicious.

For a whole day, all civil and military officials knelt in the hall for a day and a night, and the emperor ordered someone to tell them to retreat early the next morning. Now the empress dowager is ill, and he is serving in undressed clothes, forgetting about them .

If you forget it, forget it, and the civil and military officials dare not say anything, just hope that the emperor will calm down.

Of course, there must be a conclusion to this matter, and they don't want the hard work to fall on them. Except for the Criminal Ministry and Jing Zhaoyin, the others probably don't have this worry.

As they expected, Pei Songzhi and Jing Zhaoyin took over the drudgery of thoroughly investigating the matter at this juncture when no one dared to say anything.

Although the matter is open, it is limited to the court, and it is related to the face of the Tian family. The emperor does not allow them to speak out, and anyone who dares to reveal the slightest will be responsible for the consequences.

Pei Songzhi got busy after receiving the errand, and didn't dare to reveal more than a word to Su Nanzhen.

One day, two days, three days...

Su Nanzhen hasn't seen anyone else for a long time, she just vaguely felt that he had come back, she couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to feel sorry for him, and she couldn't bear to wake him up when he came back.

Of course, she is also very busy, going back and forth between Zhuangzi, the shop, and the Hou's mansion, the practice of optimizing seeds has achieved some results, and some people in the court have come to learn from her, hoping to promote her method.

She has no reservations about these, and she also hopes that the common people will have enough to eat.

In such an atmosphere, Fan Jiaomei's marriage ended in a very low-key way.

Only then did Su Nanzhen have the opportunity to go home with her husband and son-in-law.

A family of three sat in the carriage, Dandan was drowsy in Su Nanzhen's arms, and Pei Songzhi was also resting with his eyes closed. Su Nanzhen looked at his son, and then at his thinner face, and asked distressedly, "I'm almost done with my work." ?"

"Soon." Pei Songzhi opened his eyes and said confidently.

The matter is very important, and the witnesses are all relatives of the emperor, so it is very difficult to interrogate. I thought it involved an old case many years ago, and even the cause of Su Yuqing's death was under the scope of investigation. According to Wu's verification, he died of homicide.

The old and old cases are intertwined, peeling off the cocoons, and there are no traces to be found.

But some things can only be judged by the emperor.

He is consolidating all the evidence, and it is estimated that he will be able to give the emperor an explanation in a few days.

It's just that he couldn't tell her about these things.

Su Nanzhen knew it too, so she didn't ask any more, "Can I have a good sleep tonight?"

"Well, you've worked hard during this time." Pei Songzhi put his arms around her and asked her to rest on his shoulder for a while.

"I'm not tired, but you. Don't be too tired." Su Nanzhen reached out to touch his face, but he grabbed it.

"With you by my side, I am willing no matter how tired I am." Pei Songzhi looked at her and his son, the investigation was not only because of the imperial decree, but also because of the Su family, because of her.

He faintly felt that she was also on the opponent's chessboard. Although he didn't know the opponent's layout, he would never allow his own person to be a pawn that others would use at will.

In the palace, Pei Songzhi presented the clues he had found to the emperor and the empress dowager one by one.

However, the Empress Dowager had already guessed who moved the coffin, but now her guess was confirmed, and she wanted to know where her son's body went.

As the empress dowager, she couldn't let her son die and be buried in peace, she was angry.

"I'm afraid only the mastermind behind the scenes will know about this matter." Pei Songzhi said in a deep voice.

The clues he checked ended here, but the next thing was a matter for the Tian family, and they could only solve it.

The Empress Dowager also realized this, and waved him weakly to make him retreat.

"Grandmother..." The emperor looked at the empress dowager in embarrassment. The late emperor had left a legacy, hoping that she would respect the blood and family relationship and not to kill.
