The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 132 The truth, Zhaixinglou
"What's more, that bead is related to an old case I want to investigate." Yu Qiansi said sincerely: "So, it's not you who brought me into danger."

There are many warm currents in Boyi's heart, and wherever he goes, wild flowers are everywhere, thriving.

"However, I have two conditions."

Yu Qiansi looked solemn: "First, don't disturb the court. Second, don't hide anything related to this case."

Boyi breathed a sigh of relief, and answered her question just now: "Even if the Cheng family is dead, but the queen mother is in a high position, most of the court supported the Cheng family at that time. If she gritted her teeth, she would not be powerless. What's more, history is written by the victors, and it will be easy to investigate the death of the imperial concubine after she wins. Why did she decide to set herself on fire? I think she is also worried that someone will use her and my identities to make a fuss and stir up civil strife .”

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes and suppressed the enthusiasm in his eyes: "I am not her own, she can use me to fight hard. But she just wants to let me go and let me live in peace. "

Yu Qiansi was noncommittal, and she still had doubts about Empress Mingde's real purpose in this matter, but it would not affect other people's thoughts.

If someone really set up a trap back then, this person must be not simple, so it must be very dangerous.But Boyi was willing to believe her, so she naturally tried her best to give it a try.It's just that it must not affect the stability of the world.

"Okay, I promise you that the murderer will be brought to justice, but you can't put yourself in danger and challenge the law."

Bo Yi understood in his heart that this was what Yu Qiansi really wanted to tell him.

After a long silence, he asked, "But what if the murderer cannot be brought to justice?"

"The case taken over by the Yuli Pavilion, even if you go to the ends of the world, the end of the world, you will definitely find the truth."

He took the wine jar that Yu Qiansi handed over, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Okay, it's a deal."

He put down the wine jar, and thought of the half piece of bamboo tablet with blood characters hidden in his bosom, but worried that it would affect her tomorrow's affairs and distract her, so he kept it for himself, and gave it to her after tomorrow Not too late.

Today, the most important thing is tomorrow's court meeting.

On the second day, at the Great Court Meeting, Yu Qiansi was dressed in a falcon red dress, and entered the hall confidently.

At that time, all the officials in the court were arguing endlessly with the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so His Majesty summoned her to tell the whole truth.

The most urgent task is to explain the fire in the Ministry of War.

But Yu Qiansi bowed, and the clear and bright voice echoed leisurely in the hall.

"Your Majesty, all of this has to start with the matter of the Zhaixing Tower."

After finishing the sentence, there was an uproar in the hall.

After all, the fact that the princess fell from the building is a "family scandal", how can it be publicized in front of the envoys?

However, Wang Song stood tall beside His Majesty, his eyes swept across the people in the hall, and the opposition immediately weakened.The person in charge of the punishment department escorted the dejected Ma Jian into the hall together.

People who come and go in the palace are more or less familiar with Ma Jian, what's more, the incident of that day has already been widely spread in Beijing. It can be seen that the Secretary of Criminal Affairs has done such a thing. Could it be that Ma Jian is the murderer?

"How is this possible?" whispered suddenly.

Even those who witnessed it on the day were puzzled: "Master Yu, how could this Ma Jian be the murderer?"

"Yes, he was on the eighth floor at the time, and there are other people on the seventh floor who can testify. Didn't you go up and check it yourself?"

They had already heard about the strange situation in the Zhaixing Building. What's more, when passing by the Zhaixing Building every day when entering and leaving the palace, they would feel hairy on their backs.

The key to the ninth floor is there, untouched.On the seventh floor, two people testified that there was no abnormal movement on the eighth floor.Ti Xingsi saw with his own eyes that no one had set foot on the ninth floor for a long time, only the room was full of dust.The only thing left is Princess Lin'an's own footprints, and the princess's mutilated sleeve outside the window on the ninth floor.

How did Ma Jian do it?

Shang Fu's heart jumped suddenly, and he said timidly: "Could it be that he locked the princess on the ninth floor early and let him jump down to deal with the aftermath?"

That would explain the key thing.

But Boyi personally checked the windows on the ninth floor, and they were fastened from the inside. Who did this?
Yu Qiansi rarely expressed his affirmation of Shang Fu: "Master Shaoqing is half right."

"Actually, the truth is very simple. Please, Your Majesty and all the adults, move down to the Star Reaching Building, so that I can reveal the modus operandi one by one."

"Presumptuous! How can the Great Court allow you to be so casual?" Some people were dissatisfied, "There are envoys here!"

But the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty was very happy: "It's okay, the matter of Princess Lin'an can be regarded as a state matter, and I am also very curious about the truth about the case of the princess who is making a lot of noise in Beijing."

Seeing what the envoy said, Jiang Jiqing would naturally agree, and he tentatively looked at Wang Song who was standing silently.

Wang Song nodded, and then he raised his hand excitedly: "Show me!"

Yu Qiansi saw that the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty all looked complacent, so she was not in a hurry, and followed Shengjia's side, full of civil and military affairs, and headed towards the Zhaixing Tower.

After leaving the Taiji Palace, head north to the inner palace.When most of the people turned around to the right road and saw the Zhaixing Tower, someone exclaimed.

The exclamation started from the middle of the team and gradually spread to everyone.

Even the holy car in the front was disturbed.I saw a black object falling from the Star Picking Tower, right in front of everyone.

However, the Shengjia at the front of the team did not see the process of falling because of the cover of the canopy. The guards on both sides shouted "Guardian", and immediately drew their knives to guard Jiang Jiqing and Wang Song.

And those people at the end of the line hadn't had time to see clearly, they heard the exclamation one after another around them, and asked what happened with curiosity and fear.

Jiang Jiqing kept walking, and when he walked to the black object, everyone saw clearly that it was just a black dummy.

But there is still fresh blood slowly flowing out from under it.

Yu Qiansi turned around and looked at the courtiers who were still undecided: "Did anyone see it just now, where did this fake corpse fall from?"

Someone tremblingly said: "I just saw that the window on the ninth floor of the Zhaixing Building is open."

The speaker was one of the few officials who witnessed the tragedy in the Zhaixing Tower that day.Seeing something falling, he subconsciously looked towards the ninth floor, and saw that the window was open, revealing the dark interior of the building.

Everyone looked up when they heard the words, but the window was obviously closed.

"Master Li, you must have read it wrong, right?"

"Impossible! It was only after the official saw that the windows on the ninth floor were indeed open."

At this time, all the Qianniuwei who were ordered to be on duty upstairs in the star-chasing building had to be ordered to go downstairs to stand by, and they were the ones led by Ma Jian on the day of the incident.

This time, they were on duty from the second floor to the seventh floor as they were that day.The only difference is that Boyi, who followed them downstairs, was the person who stayed on the eighth floor of the Zhaixing Building this time, and arranged according to Yu Qiansi's order.

Everyone was at a loss when they saw the fake corpse and Ma Jian who was in custody.

"Everyone, did you hear the movement on the eighth floor just now?"

The few people were confused and shook their heads in silence.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiqing asked curiously, "Master Yu, what's going on?"

"What the adults saw just now is what the murderer did that day."

She pointed to the sky and said, "This is actually the simplest way to cover up the eyes. Because the body didn't fall from the ninth floor at all that day."

"But we clearly saw the windows on the ninth floor"

Yuqian turned on a firework signal and threw it high into the sky. Everyone's eyes flew into the sky along with the red firework. Through the bright red firework, everyone saw the window on the ninth floor.

"My God! The window is open again. Am I right! Look!"

This time, everyone saw the dark open window and pointed excitedly.

But after a long time, someone noticed something was wrong.

The ninth floor of Zhaixing Building is very high. Looking at it against the skylight, the window is not much bigger than a small black spot.

"No, why is the window moving?"

Some people squinted their eyes and looked carefully. The black window indeed seemed to be moving slightly with the wind.

Yuqian looked wildly at Ma Jian who bowed his head and said nothing, and threw another red fireworks into the air.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the black window in the sky suddenly dropped and was taken in from the open window on the eighth floor.

"This is the truth about the so-called open windows on the ninth floor."

Boyi also took out a folded black cloth from his bosom and demonstrated it in public.

The thinly shaved bamboo strips were cut into several sections. The ends of the bamboo strips were staggered, and there was a thin rope in the middle to form a loop. He stretched the bamboo strips and used those loops to spread the whole black cloth like a kite. open.

"The reason why the murderer chooses dusk is because the sky is not bright at that time, and it is not easy to reveal flaws. When a heavy object falls from a high altitude, everyone will naturally raise their eyes subconsciously, and they will naturally see the piece on the ninth floor. black hole covering the window, so one would think that the window on the ninth floor was opened."

But in fact, it was just an illusion created by the murderer holding the black cloth with a bamboo pole.After confirming that someone saw it, he only needed to take back the black cloth and destroy it when everyone's attention turned back to the corpse on the ground.

There are huge oil lamps on every floor in the Zhaixing Building. Whether it is a thin piece of bamboo or a small piece of black cloth, it can be destroyed at will.

"So, this can explain why the adults who saw the first scene saw the strange shape of the window together with Princess Changsi, but the window was closed tightly when we came."

"How does this explain the traces you saw on the ninth floor?"

There was Qian Niuwei who was unwilling to give up and asked back at the risk of death.

Deming scolded angrily with a cold face: "Presumptuous! How can you have a place to speak at the court meeting?"

"No problem," Jiang Jiqing said softly.

Wang Song, who had been silent on the sidelines for a while, seemed to be invisible today, and continued: "The Great Court Meeting is originally a way to spread the word, and it is even more so today."

He turned to look at Yu Qiansi: "Master Yu, please continue."

"The key on the ninth floor has indeed never been touched in your guard. But that can only prove that no one has touched it that day."

"If the murderer gets the key in advance, sneak into the ninth floor in advance, and use the shoes on the corpse to leave footprints that seem to lead to the window. On that day, your defenses were connected end to end, leaving no chance for outsiders, but you may guarantee , Is this the case for the guards every day?"

What's more, the murderer is Qian Niuwei, and he can use the gap in the middle of the defense to create opportunities for himself.What's more, maybe he chose that day deliberately, using the impeccable defense to create an opportunity to clear his suspicion.
