Jinyi Music

Chapter 210 All the way to the third prince
Mou Biao nodded and turned to Deyu,
"Chairman, if Zhang Fulai can sit with his back facing the murderer, then the murderer should be familiar with Zhang Fulai, most likely he is a member of the palace. I don't know who in this palace can enter and leave the room in charge at will, and they are of the same height. A man of great strength?"

Deyu thought for a while and said,

"This... our family serves the second prince on weekdays, and the people in the various courts of the palace may not be able to recognize it all, but we have called all the stewards to ask..."

Mou Biao nodded and said,
"Chairman, it's a matter of human life, please quickly call up the staff!"

Deyu nodded, and immediately went out to give instructions, and not long after, the stewards of the various courtyards gathered in this courtyard, Deyu asked about the tall and strong person who walked close to Zhang Fulai, and someone from the stewards responded,
"Chairman, among the servants, there is Hu Kuang who is close to Zhang Fulai. That Hu Kuang was recommended by Zhang Fulai to enter the mansion. I heard that the two are distant relatives..."

Hearing this, Deyu was overjoyed and asked,

"Where are the people?"

The steward answered,

"When the people from Jinyiwei were outside the mansion, Hu Kuang asked the younger one for leave, saying that there was an urgent matter at home and he had to go back overnight, and he would return tomorrow..."

Deyu was very anxious when he heard the words,
"Back! Why don't you go back, hurry up and chase him back!"

Jin Yiwei sent a team led by people from the palace to search for Hu Kuang's house, and the other team stayed in the palace to continue searching for clues, but they found a lot of gold and silver in Zhang Fulai's house. But Hu Kuang's room was tidy and clean, not even a copper coin or a single piece of clothing was left behind, it was clear that he had packed up his bags and ran away.

Mou Biao immediately sent people to guard the Sifang City Gate, strictly inspected the people who passed by, and brought people from the Wangfu to guard the city gate, looking for Hu Kuang. Hu Kuang changed his disguise and wanted to lead his family away.

Mou Biao was overjoyed when he got the letter, and invited Yu San to interrogate him personally, but Hu Kuang was a coward. He entered Beizhen Fusi, and he recruited everything without any threats. Mou Biao took his The expression on the face of the confession was serious, and he went to see Mu Bin immediately, and Mu Bin frowned when he saw it.
"Father, should we report this confession to His Majesty?"

Mu Bin nodded,

"This matter... is of great importance and must be reported to His Majesty!"

The father and son entered the palace overnight and reported the confession to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi, who was awakened in his sleep in bright yellow soft forgings, met Mou's father and son in his bedroom. After reading the confession, Emperor Hongzhi remained silent for a long time. Bin, Mou Biao and his son knelt down without daring to lift their heads, only to feel that the night wind blowing in from the open windows in the palace was not at all as hot as summer, and it was still faintly cool. After a long suffocating silence, Emperor Hongzhi said slowly,

"Check again..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mou Bin touched the ground with his head, and Mou Biao hurriedly followed suit. When the father and son retreated outside, they both felt chills on their backs. The two left the palace with their heads down and went back Looking at the closed palace gate, Mou Bin heaved a sigh of relief.

"It seems that His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Third Prince!"

Hu Kuang's confession pointed directly at Li Fangting, the Chief Manager of the Third Prince's Mansion, saying that this person had bribed him many years ago to let him get close to Zhang Fulai as a distant relative, and was recommended by him to enter the Second Prince's Mansion. He managed to get Hu Kuang to act as a bridge among them, spent a lot of money to bribe Zhang Fulai, and instructed Zhang Fulai to bribe the uncle and nephew of the Yi family to drug the tribute wine before the prince's wedding...

Mu Bin snorted,

"Grass snake gray line, lying in the veins of thousands of miles, they are buried deep..."

Imagine that if Hu Kuang ran away or was killed, then the house of the second prince would be ruined. When the second prince and the prince had a rift, the third prince would benefit from it!

After hearing this, Mou Biao felt something was wrong,

"Father, the Third Prince made arrangements a few years ago, is it just to make such a fuss at the prince's wedding banquet?"

This... seems to be a bit of a joke, right?

"If I were the third prince, I would have buried the pawn a few years ago. Why not make a move at the critical moment of seizing the throne in the future? It would be better to pull the second prince down in one fell swoop, or let the prince and the second prince completely Turning against each other is the way to go, such a non-painful, non-salty quarrel, if the matter is revealed, I will also get burned..."

You see, isn't the third prince just getting burned?
Mu Bin nodded and said,
"This point is also puzzling for a father..."

After a pause,

"The third prince is young and is quite favored by His Majesty. He has a domineering temper and is moody. Maybe he just wants to disgust the prince, so he dragged the second prince into the water by the way?"

Mou Biao frowned with thick brows, he neither nodded nor shook his head. His own temperament was somewhat similar to the third prince's, but it was just a bad temper, not a bad brain. Yes, a few of them are idiots, not to mention born in a family without father and son, no matter how stupid they are, they have holes all over their bodies, and they are smarter than monkeys with sticky hair, not to mention that the third prince also has staff Counselors, even if the master is unreliable, don't the counselors stop it?
Mu Binxian also thought of it, the father and son looked at each other,
"Go back and interrogate Hu Kuang..."

The two of them went back to interrogate Hu Kuang again, only that Hu Kuang was bitten to death by Li Fangting, the chief steward of the third prince's house, and they gave the same confession after several tortures. It is not easy to investigate the matter after that, so I had to order people to stop for a while, put him in prison, and feed him with good food and drink every day.

He also said that it was the second day, and he led people to the third prince's mansion again, because he brought the imperial decree, this time even the third prince couldn't stop him, Jin Yiwei invited Li Fangting to the Fusi yamen in Beizhen "To be a guest", but it is still the chief executive of the prince's mansion. Jin Yiwei is not easy to be punished, and martial arts can't be done, so he has to use literary methods. Yu San's interrogators also have a lot of "gentle" methods. Toss Li Fangting a lot, flesh and blood It wasn't damaged at all, but its spirit was sluggish, but Li Fangting just complained and didn't move at all.

After several times, the case was deadlocked. Mou Bin had no choice but to go to the palace to ask for an order, and asked His Majesty to authorize the torture of Li Fangting. After hearing the words, Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a long time, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked,
"Mu Qing, how many children are there in your family?"

Mu Bin was stunned and replied,
"Your Majesty, I have seven sons in my family..."

Emperor Hongzhi asked again,
"Which son do you love the most?"

Mu Bin replied,

"Weichen... the favorite of eight sons..."

"Why do you love the younger son? The eldest son heard that he won the imperial examination. Although his ranking is not very good, he can be regarded as the first in the middle to send officials..."

Mou Bin bowed his head in thought for a while and replied,

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know why, the youngest son of Weichen has been irritable, domineering, irritable, and stubborn since he was a child, and I have a headache for him, but... But Weichen has a special preference for this kid , although I know that the children in the family are dissatisfied, but... but this kind father's heart cannot be controlled by a humble minister..."

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Hongzhi let out a long sigh,
"The heart of a loving father! You have me as well as you..."

Mu Bin pondered for a long time before touching his head to the ground,

"Your Majesty, I know!"

"Well, you go down!"

Mou Bin went out of the palace and returned to the yamen, sat in the lobby and summoned Mou Biao to come in.
"This case ends here, let Li Fangting be released later!"

Mou Biao frowned when he heard this,
"Father, Your Majesty...doesn't intend to investigate?"

Mu Bin nodded,

"Your Majesty still has a lot of preference for the third prince. Your Majesty wants to stop here!"

Mou Biao thought for a while and said,

"But father... son always feels that there must be something inside, it's not as simple as it looks on the outside..."

Mou Bin said,
"My father also felt that this matter seemed to be going too smoothly on the surface. It seems that someone deliberately led us to find out about the third prince. After finding out about Li Fangting, the dirty water was poured on the third prince..."

Mu Bin frowned heavily,

"This is because someone led us to investigate the second and third princes..."

Mou Biao also frowned the same eyebrows as his own father,

"Whether this dirty water is splashed on the second prince or the third prince, the biggest beneficiary is..."

The father and son looked at each other, and they both saw the answer that was ready to come out from the other's eyes. The father and son fought a cold war at the same time,
"If it's what he did, his method is really brilliant..."

"He usually looks gentle and dignified, gentle and polite. Is this really something he can do?"

"Hmph! There is no father and son in the Tian family, let alone brothers?"

"But... Judging from his usual performance, it seems that there is no such city who can come straight to the door and let us find a way to defeat the opponent, right?"

Mou Bin listened to pacing in the hall with his hands behind his back for a long time, then turned his head and said to Mou Biao,

"Old Ba, it seems that we have all underestimated the prince. I'm afraid the prince is doing the same thing before others, and he is doing the same thing after others. He is good at acting!"

Mou Biao nodded. Looking back at this moment, there are many doubts about the solution of this case. The first one that is suspicious is that the dead body of the Yi family's nephew, if it hadn't met the You family's carriage that day, it would have been the person transporting the corpse. The carriage arrived in front of the city gate safely, and the soldiers guarding the city might find it strange.

One must know that the soldiers would lift the curtain to inquire when leaving the city, and the uncle and nephew of the Yi family were already dead at that time, with their eyes closed and their face turning blue, how could the soldiers guarding the city gate not see something strange?

It seems that the other party is planning to let people find the dead body!
Also, since Hu Kuang had already faked the murder scene, shouldn’t he pretend to be nonchalant and stay in the second prince’s mansion? Why did he pack up his things and flee after Jin Yiwei came to the door? It was clearly intended to lure them to arrest him, so that they could find out about the third prince, and then follow the clues to find out...
