Chapter 102: A loving father and a filial son in the imperial study room
  "What else was found?"

Emperor Qi suppressed his anger and looked at Zhuge Qinglan.

"Your Majesty, all the bandits who attacked Ji Ren this time had the style of Prince Wu's palace printed on their clothes." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"What is the style of Prince Wu's palace?" Emperor Qi's eyes flashed with coldness.

"I'll just say it's him. Father, arrest him." Zhang Jingshou said excitedly.

"Father, I have been wronged. This must be someone with good intentions who has wronged me. I just had a conflict with Ji Ren recently, and because of an innocent robbery, I was implicated. Who would attack Ji Ren at this time?" Everyone will suspect that it is Erchen. Why would Erchen choose to take action at this time? And even if Erchen takes action, Erchen will never let the assassin wear the clothes of Prince Wu. Is this for fear that he will not be exposed?" King Wu said immediately .

"Who knows if you will do the opposite?" Zhang Jingshou said.

"You are trying to inflict a crime, so why bother?" King Wu said angrily.

"Then who else could you say it is?" Zhang Jingshou said.

"It's hard to guarantee that it wasn't my elder brother who did it. He harmed Ji Ren. Now Ji Ren wants to investigate, and he won't stop doing anything. He just wants to take this opportunity to get rid of both Ji Ren and me. Also, the fifth brother is also suspicious. Very, he and Ji Ren have only known each other for a long time, and yet he came to my palace just because of Ji Ren." King Wu said.

"Did I harm Lao Ji? Are you out of your mind?" Zhang Jingshou looked at King Wu with confusion, then looked at Emperor Qi and said, "Father, why don't you call him an imperial doctor."

"Shut up." Emperor Qi glared at Zhang Jingshou angrily, but he was also dissatisfied when he saw King Wu, and suspected that Zhang Jingshou was really just joking when he killed Ji Ren.

If the King of Wei and the King of Wu had a motive for killing Ji Ren, what was Zhang Jingshou’s motive for killing Ji Ren?

Is it because he wants no one to take him to the gambling house to make money in the future, or because he wants no one to fight with him in the future?

The logical motive is completely invalid.

King Wu raised his head with an aggrieved look on his face.

Emperor Qi also had a headache when he saw it. There were various signs that it was King Wu, but indeed, the traces were too obvious, and it was unlikely to be something that the third child would do.

But on the other hand, if it was the boss who did it, even if it was framed, he would never be so stupid.

"Have you found anything else?" Emperor Qi looked at Zhuge Qinglan and asked.

"Also, after surrounding the Dengke Building, we searched and found some different things. This time, Ji Ren invited Du Bo and several people. Du Bo and the others were afraid that Ji Ren would find out, so they devised a plan to Let the oiran Mu Yu fall into a coma and pretend to be coerced by Ji Ren, thus putting Ji Ren in jail and ruining Ji Ren's reputation." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"Are they planning it again?" Emperor Qi sneered, knowing that Zhuge Qinglan would not be able to tell him in front of him that King Wei was responsible for everything, but he already knew it in his heart.

……

The three princes, the Crown Prince, the King of Wei and the King of Han, received the oral instructions to enter the palace one after another. They got on the carriage and came to the palace with different thoughts, but they arrived almost at the same time.

After getting off the carriage, they saw each other with different expressions.

"I thought my father only summoned Gu, but I didn't expect that both the prince and his second brother were summoned." King Wei said immediately.

"It's natural. After all, you are the prince, right? Big brother." The prince looked at King Wei and said, among the four brothers, the eldest brother was the one he feared the most.

"Yes, the prince is the prince. I just heard that the prince has been very busy dealing with the Wusheng theft case these days. I wonder if he needs help?" King Wei said.

"Brother, I don't need to worry. My father is very satisfied with what I have done. Now I am summoning Gu to inquire about the results of the trial." The prince said and walked inside.

King Wei had a smile on his face and looked unconcerned. He turned to look at King Han and said, "Second brother, I didn't expect that even you are here. What do you think our father asked us to do?"

"How can we speculate on Father's Holy Will? Brother, you seem to be talking a bit too much today? Is it because Father discovered what you did and became nervous?" King Han looked at King Wei and asked.

"Nervous? When have you ever seen me nervous? But what you said makes sense. Father's meaning cannot be guessed. We will know it when we meet." King Wei smiled heartily and walked towards the imperial study.

The King of Han said yes. Among the three people here, he was the most uneasy.

Because he really took action, and all eight of them were captured by Zhuge Qinglan.

King Wei knew what kind of people that group of people were. No one knew what they would say or not say when they were sent to the heavenly prison.

And what's worse is that Ji Ren was assassinated.

God knows if Emperor Qi will blame him again?

At that time, he said that actually I didn’t mean to be so harmful, I just wanted to slander him?
  And he was actually rescued by Qiao Qingyu. If he had known this, he would not have lured Qiao Qingyu over. It would have been better if Ji Ren was really dead. King Han shook his head slightly and walked at the back. He actually came quite confused.

He got the news that Ji Ren was assassinated and that Zhuge Qinglan was investigating the case to avenge Ji Ren. He prepared how to cooperate with Zhuge Qinglan and tried to win over Zhuge Qinglan.

Liu Bei without Zhuge Liang is obviously incomplete Liu Bei.

But Emperor Qi didn't give him a chance and called him over.

What's going on here?
  Hasn't he done anything recently?
  Could it be that the connection with Gongsun Changdi was discovered? But we have been in contact for a long time.

The three kings had different thoughts, but before they entered the door, they were stopped by Wei Changshi who was beside Emperor Qi and said: "Your Majesty has a decree. King Wei will go first. The prince and the king of Han will wait a moment."

The prince who was about to walk in looked unhappy, but did not dare to disobey Emperor Qi's wishes, while King Wei didn't look very good and had already expected it in his heart, so he walked in bravely.

Entering the imperial study, King Wei looked at the three people who were still kneeling, King Wu, Zhang Jingshou, and Zhang Jingyi. His expression was slightly subtle, but he still pretended that he had not seen them. He knelt down as usual and said: "My dear father, please visit me." .”

Only this time, there was no response as usual. King Wei was feeling uneasy when he heard Emperor Qi's voice: "Your Majesty Wei~"

King Wei was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he quickly said: "Father, my son and I are loyal to our father, and this can be shown in the sky."

He is the King of Wei. Almost anyone in the Qi Dynasty can call him Prince Wei, and he can listen to it with peace of mind, but he can't bear it coming from the mouth of Emperor Qi.

"Did I let you speak?" Emperor Qi's eyes showed a cold light.

King Wei's heart skipped a beat and he quickly apologized.

"Excuse me? What kind of crime is this? You, Prince Wei, are very capable. With just one stratagem, I, Baron Tian Yang of Daqi, could influence the success of the Dharma by failing to condense the Dharma two times in a row after my meritorious deeds. This This time, I was still designing the Dengke Building and wanted to ruin Ji Ren's reputation. You are so capable." Emperor Qi said.

"Father, my son is indeed dissatisfied with Ji Ren, but he has never done anything like this." King Wei immediately kowtowed. When Emperor Qi said these words, he knew in his heart that Emperor Qi knew it, but Everyone knew it, but he couldn't admit this crime.

Everything was done by the people below and had nothing to do with him.

Even though everyone knew it was related to him, he couldn't admit it.

And he didn't believe that Du Bo and the others really dared to confess him.

In front of the evidence, they may not be able to bear the cross-examination and tell the truth, but if they bear the punishment, they will only hurt themselves. If they don't bear the punishment, their whole family will die.

They all know this.

And it is not false that each of them is dissatisfied with Ji Ren.

After all, a person who was similar to them could become the fiancé of the most talented person in the imperial capital. They were unwilling to accept it, and their hatred for Ji Ren did not need to be acted out.

"You didn't do it. Do Du Bo and the others have such courage and ability?" Emperor Qi sneered, "I don't know what you do in daily life, but what can and cannot be done. "

"Father, I must be clear that my son really did not do such a thing. Moreover, my son and Ji Ren had very little contact. On the contrary, my third brother had always been at odds with Ji Ren. During the fight in front of the Dengke Building, there were also clothes from Prince Wu's Mansion. I'm afraid it was my third brother who took action." King Wei said.

"Nonsense." After hearing what King Wei said, King Wu was furious. He originally wanted to frame King Wei, but he never thought that King Wei would frame him now. He immediately said angrily, "If I did it, how could I be so superficial? I think you are the one who secretly plotted against me. Why did you frame Jiren? With your viciousness, how could you be so compassionate? I'm afraid you are going to find a good woman, and then let Jiren become distracted and infatuated and ruin her body, and then let the good family Let the girl die and be found guilty."

"Nonsense. If I wanted to arrange an assassination, why would I plan it in Dengke Building? As for plotting against you? If I want to plot against you, I will never be so stupid as to leave the mark of your Prince Wu's Palace on your clothes. I will leave These things were discovered by people to be related to your Prince Wu's Mansion. Through their own efforts, they were convinced of what they found." King Wei sneered and suddenly said, "No, the people of Prince Wu's Mansion The markings are too clumsy. Did you leave something inconspicuous on them and then investigate carefully to find out if it is related to the Lone King?"

"I have nothing to say, so I can only frame him. You have little contact with Ji Ren, but didn't you meet before the Wusheng bandits were destroyed? I think you reached an agreement at that time. You told him Wusheng Find out the whereabouts of the thief and help him solve Uncle Weiyuan's troubles. Uncle Weiyuan broke off the engagement, but Ji Ren went back on his promise and failed to fulfill his promise. You became angry and found out that Ji Ren was investigating what happened back then, so you acted first." Wu Wang said. .

"The destruction of the Wusheng Bandit was the fault of my fifth brother. What does it have to do with me? However, if you don't tell me, I have forgotten that there is also a festival for the Wusheng Bandit. Now I want to get rid of Ji Ren for revenge, and then I will frame you on the surface. You, in fact, framed me." King Wei sneered, feeling aggrieved. It was really not him who did the Wusheng Thief, but now, except for Zhang Jingshou and Ji Ren, who were extremely confident, no one believed him, and he felt Qi Ren The emperor's eyes became fierce.

"I understand, you have already arranged this so that you can get away with it, right? Father Emperor Mingjian, it was my eldest brother who did it." King Wu immediately kowtowed to Emperor Qi.

"Third brother, what are you telling Father in such a hurry? Are you guilty of being a thief?" King Wei asked.

"That's enough." Emperor Qi couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him coldly. Only then did King Wei and King Wu stop fighting.

"You two are indeed my good sons. You can still fight like this at this moment. Well, family law can't control you, so let's use national law. From now on, you two will be confined in the house, shut up and think about your mistakes, and will not leave the house. No one is allowed to visit even half a step away. Crown Prince Xuan, King of Han." Emperor Qi said coldly.

The prince and the King of Han from outside dared to come in only after being summoned. However, as soon as they came in, they heard Emperor Qi saying coldly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Han."

When the prince and the king of Han heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. With a plop, they knelt down and dropped their heads to the ground. They were frightened in their hearts. They didn't know what happened, but they all thought that they hadn't done anything recently.
