Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

"Since the empress dowager trusts the old minister so much, then the old minister will not be frightened when he does something that offends others!" King Wei kowtowed, showing the appearance of a loyal minister.

When Xia Sha heard this, she stroked the rim of the teacup with her fingers, and smiled at the corner of her mouth. The old ghost Wei Guogong can still speak.

Aren't good people doing things that offend others?

The villain wants to pretend to be a good person, this drama is very good.

Naturally, as soon as Wei Guogong said such words, many people already pouted.

Duke Wei's reputation has long been ruined by himself. Some people even rumored that he had an affair with his own daughter-in-law, but they didn't know whether it was true or not.In short, at this moment, many people squinted at him, showing no good expressions.

The Empress Dowager always knew that Wei Guogong was clever with his tongue, which was also his liking, so she said: "Finally, the Ai family does not blame you."

Duke Wei was very moved, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness!"

The queen mother nodded and motioned to the Duke of Wei to speak quickly, and the king of Wei Xiancai said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the gauze in the theater building was torn off just now is because the wind on the stage was blowing too much, which caused the drama to be broken. The more than 20 palace lanterns in the building were extinguished, and the murderer had a chance to commit the crime. Therefore, the old minister boldly said that if such an opera troupe had not been invited to sing today, there would be no accidents and the old lady would not be assassinated! And the old minister heard, This theater troupe was invited by His Royal Highness King Ming, so to investigate the murderer, His Highness King Ming needs to cooperate!"

"Wei Guogong, what do you mean? Are you saying that His Highness conspired with King Ming to murder my grandmother?" The eldest prince Fengying stood up suddenly and glared at Wei Guogong. Although the wind on the stage was strong, all of this It was clearly an accident, could it be that he and King Ming would kill his grandmother?The two of them are not stupid!

Wei Guogong said coldly, "Your Highness, everyone present has witnessed everything that happened today. If the gauze hadn't fallen, how could the murderer have the opportunity to assassinate the old lady? It's obvious! Today's assassination Not only was it not accidental, but it was premeditated!"

Weiguo speaks righteously, with a straight back, as if he is a hero who upholds justice!

"It's nonsense! Why did my Highness and King Ming assassinate my grandmother? We are both crazy!" Fengying was about to be blown up by Duke Wei, wishing to step forward and give him a slap to wake him up. I really don't know this. What is the human brain made of!

It's not just the eldest prince who thinks Duke Wei's words are very unreasonable, everyone present thinks Duke Wei is talking nonsense with his eyes open!

If the eldest prince wants to become emperor, the biggest backer is the Zheng family. After the old lady of the Zheng family dies, the capital of Zheng will resign from office and observe a filial piety for three years. Isn't this a broken arm?The eldest prince is not stupid, how could he do such a thing?

"Duke Wei, even if there was an accident in the play just now, which made the lanterns of the Saman palace go out, it doesn't mean that it was His Royal Highness and King Ming who murdered the old lady!" At this time, Feng Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, stood up He also went straight to Duke Wei!

This Duke of Wei!snort!I was really afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and if such an accident happened, I would pour dirty water on the First Prince!This person is simply too hateful!

"Why is it impossible? Can Lord Feng guarantee that His Highness and His Highness King Ming did not collude in this assassination? Can Lord Feng guarantee it?" Wei Guogong did not show any weakness. He took a step forward and looked at Feng Xing. His posture is like lions and tigers in the Colosseum, all ready to go!

"You!" Feng Xing was so angry that his neck turned red, he was choked, and asked again: "Could Duke Wei guarantee that this assassination was a conspiracy between King Ming and His Highness?"

"I can't guarantee it! I'm just guessing, it's entirely possible! Otherwise, why His Royal Highness Prince Ming took the trouble to rehearse this play? Could it be to please us and the Empress Dowager?" Facing the sky, staring at Feng Xing!

Feng Xing sneered, "Haha! You can't guarantee it, you're just guessing, Duke Wei, you really dare to guess!" Feng Xing was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and squeezed out almost every word!

"His Royal Highness King Ming and His Royal Highness have filial piety, but it turns out that you, Duke Wei, have ulterior motives. Duke Wei, what are your intentions!"

"Today's assassination of King Ming and His Royal Highness are inseparable. What is the intention of Lord Feng to defend so much? Lord Feng wants to please the Empress Dowager, so there is no need to open your eyes and talk nonsense!"

Wang Xian and Feng Xing glared at each other, refusing to give in, everyone was dumbfounded!This is a big theater building and not a cockfighting arena. Why do these two court ministers look like two big cocks with fried feathers?Although there are differences in this assassination matter, it shouldn't be so tense, right?

Seeing that these two are about to fight!

However, the court and central officials who were present were no longer surprised. Let alone the incident of death today, on weekdays, even if a mosquito popped out of the main hall and bit the emperor, the two of them would start arguing!

However, what was even more astonishing was that some disciples from the capital of Zheng also came forward to question Duke Wei, saying that he clearly had bad intentions and intentionally disturbed people's hearts, and hoped that the queen mother would punish him, and everyone also hoped that the queen mother would severely punish Duke Wei. The wife was killed because the murderer took advantage of the loophole, but this does not mean that the king and the eldest prince are behind the scenes!

Wei Guogong is not an easy character to deal with. He speaks plausibly and is quite reasonable. He only blushes and thick necks the disciples who support the First Prince in the capital of Zheng, almost wanting to fight!

"Okay, okay, Aijia knows that you are all trying to find out the murderer. This is a good intention. If that is the case, there is no need to quarrel." After listening to the quarrel for a long time, the Queen Mother stopped them with a soft forehead.When she was young, she also listened to the government behind the curtain for several years. She knew that the important officials in the court had differences, and bickering with each other was a common thing, so she didn't blame her.

Feng Xing and Wei Guogong also stopped quarreling after hearing about it. Although the other disciples of the Zheng capital were upset, they did not speak again. At this time, Jing Zhaoyin also came forward to report: "The queen mother, the old lady has only one wound on her body. It was Xunbu, the murder weapon pierced the heart, resulting in the death of the old lady, so I thought that as long as the owner of the murder weapon was found out, the case would be solved."

"Oh? Find the owner of the murder weapon? Didn't you just say that the murderer has disguised himself, and the murderer can be found out with just one murder weapon?" The queen mother frowned and looked at Jing Zhaoyin, her expression becoming more and more majestic.

Jing Zhaoyin said: "The empress dowager doesn't know something. This murder weapon is a hidden weapon. It should be used by the murderer. There should be more than one on the murderer. If he didn't come and throw it away, it would be a clue. Therefore, I request Search all the people here and find out the culprit!"

The queen mother nodded and said: "In that case, let's do as you said!"

The Queen Mother had already agreed, and Jing Zhaoyin immediately ordered people to search. When the female guests were found, they invited the maids and nuns in the palace to do it. Everyone present was spared, even the members of the Zheng family were killed. A search, very cooperative.

At this time, Bei Tangjin stood still and did not act, but cooperated with the search. Her eyes swept over King Ming, Duke Wei, Wang Xuan, Wang Yuanxiang, Feng Yan and others one by one.

From the surface, nothing can be seen, especially the cunning Wei Guogong, who is still full of grief. Bei Tangjin really wants to applaud him. It's not easy to act and do a full set!

Feng Yan's complexion was as usual, and he was also cooperating with the search. There was no special expression on his face, but Feng Xitang was surprisingly quiet. Just now, Bei Tang Jin felt strange that King Ming was captured by Duke Wei. After splashing dirty water, why don't you stand up and speak for yourself?This is not the character of the other party!On the contrary, it was Fengying, who looked aggrieved!

Although the murderer has not been found yet, judging from the situation at this time, King Ming should not have joined forces with Duke Wei, otherwise, Duke Wei would not say that the mastermind behind the scenes is King Ming and Fengying.So according to this inference, it should be that this play was directed and performed by Wei Guogong himself!

But since it was designed by Wei Guogong, he should be in the troupe, otherwise, how could such an accident happen out of thin air?But, is King Ming that stupid?Let Wei Guogong take advantage of it, and still take the blame for the other party?Take the blame and still keep silent?

This is absolutely impossible!How could King Ming suffer a disadvantage!

However, since King Ming won't suffer, it means that the other party has long been aware of Wei Guogong's intentions, so he jumped into the pit, making Wei Guogong think that he was fooled, and drew the snake out of the hole so that the old fox's tail Expose it, and soon eradicate it!

According to King Ming's character, he would probably do this!

But, but!

But since Ming Wang knew that Wei Guogong wanted to kill the old lady of the Zheng family, he still wanted to do this, it would be too innocent!Even if he pulls Duke Wei out, what's the difference with Duke Wei?It is inhumane to sacrifice innocent people for your own ends!

Bei Tangjin suddenly felt a headache when she thought of this, she frowned subconsciously, and her eyes wandered unconsciously from Prince Ming.

He was wearing a purple python robe, with a graceful posture and a slight smile on his face, as if he was watching a play!The more Bei Tangjin looked at it, the more angry she became. Someone is dead here, and it's not a storyteller. What kind of expression does Feng Xitang have?He didn't feel sad at all, he was really inhumane, just like Xia Sha, ruthless and ruthless, without any principle at all!

"Ajin, you can see clearly at this time, the Duke of Ming knew Wei Guogong's intentions, but he still sacrificed the old lady of the Zheng family, that is his relative, he can still do it, much more ruthless than me, You said just now that I have no humanity, so does King Ming have no heart?" Xia Sha smiled and said in Bei Tangjin's ear, the more she saw Bei Tangjin's pale face, the happier she was.

Bei Tangjin immediately slapped the other party's fingers away, and gave her a cold look, "You conspired with Duke Wei to frame King Ming and Fengying, and the Zheng family was also implicated. It's a good plan to kill three birds with one stone!"

Xia Sha shook her head and smiled, and said, "Ajin, you are wrong, the good show is yet to come, it's not killing three birds with one stone!"

Bei Tangjin was startled, looking at Xia Sha's smug and smug expression, she kept thinking about every detail in her mind, did she miss something?Not killing three birds with one stone, so, what else?

However, before she could figure it out, she heard a distant noise, "Guard Mo, is this your hidden weapon?"

Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound, and they all followed the sound, only to see a man in a black brocade suit with a coffin face and a haughty expression, saying: "That's right, I have been using this hidden weapon for several years, Is there something wrong?"

Jing Zhaoyin said: "The hidden weapon you used is the same as the murder weapon that killed Mrs. Zheng, Guard Mo, you are the murderer who killed Mrs. Zheng's family!"

The guard Mo that Jing Zhaoyin mentioned was exactly the guard next to Feng Xitang, named Mo Heng. When he heard this, he scolded, "If you fart, how could I be a murderer?"
