Chapter 347 Opening the bottom card
"Your Highness, this prince is the first person to find Cui Yuan's suicide."
Li Xian's order, Cheng Denggao, naturally did not dare to disobey, but I'm afraid it is inevitable to secretly play with some moths. Well, I went in a hurry, but when I came back, I procrastinated. After nearly a quarter of an hour, I led a middle-aged eunuch with a smooth face from my cell. When the layist came in, he didn't wait for Li Xian to speak. He hurried to report.
"It's your father-in-law."
Li Xian was very calm. He was not angry at all because Cheng Denggao had gone back for a long time. He just thanked him indifferently. After that, he was not in a hurry to ask questions. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged eunuch surnamed Wang with great interest and saw that the man's forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, so he slowly said, "Wang Where is your father-in-law from? In which year did you enter the palace?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, the slave and maidservant Wang Ben is lost in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, and Yonghui entered the palace in two years."
Wang Bian obviously got a reminder from Cheng Denggao for a long time and answered Li Xian's question. He was very brief and refused to say any irrelevant words.
"Oh, so that's it. So the prince has been in the palace for more than 20 years. He is an old man in the palace. I think he is clear about the rules in the palace. I can also save some words. Well, I don't know what position the prince is in this inner court prison? Are you in charge of something on weekdays?
Li Xian smiled gently and was not in a hurry to go straight to the point. Instead, he asked casually like a family, and his tone was very relaxed, as if this was not a gloomy and horrible morgue, but as if the two sides were making tea and chatting.
"Your Highness, Ming Jian, the maidservant is the deputy director of the inner court, and has always been responsible for inspecting the prison room to prevent people from making trouble."
Li Xian was easy, but Wang Beni didn't dare to relax at all. He bowed his body and replied very respectfully.
"Are you responsible for inspecting the supervision room? In this way, it is reasonable for the prince to take the lead in discovering Cui Yuan's suicide. In this case, the prince will talk about it in detail and listen to me. How did you find this matter and deal with it? In more detail, I won't complain. Li Xian slamed his lower lip, nodded thoughtfully, and ordered politely.
"Yes, the maidservant obeys." Hearing that Li Xian turned to the point, Wang Bian did not dare to neglect it. He quickly bowed his promise and slightly muttered, "Your Highness, here's the thing. Around the hour and after six o'clock, Duke Chen of Xi's Bureau (the permanent office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for the internal guard) transferred a group of criminals, including 13 eunuchs and eleven maids, a total. Twenty-four, after the maidservant verified his body according to the routine, he was in charge of the No. 10 to 20 of the B prison, because of his special status, which was accompanied by His Royal Highness the King of Yin and a repeat offender involved in the case. According to the rules, the maidservant was detained in a single room. The handover time was less than a quarter of an hour. After that, the maidservant turned to A, C and so on. After inspecting the prison house, for a moment, the slave maidservant inspected all the prisons and turned back to the second prison. He inspected the prison room No. 10. Suddenly, he saw a man hanging on the beam and did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly led his subordinates to open the gate of the prison room in order to save the criminal. However, it was too late. The prisoner's life had returned to Huangquan, and the slave maidservant had to move the morgue. The house is reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for inspection.
"Oh? Is there any evidence of what the prince said?
Li Xian quietly listened to Wang Ben's statement and was not in a hurry to make a statement, but asked with a smile.
"In reply to Your Highness's words, my maidservant's words are true, and I dare not lie to your Highness. Several eunuchs under my maidservant can prove this matter." Li Xian's question was not surprising. It was just a routine. Wang Ben was not afraid, so he answered in a hurry.
"A few? How many more?
Li Xian asked endlessly.
"This... is three people."
Seeing that Li Xian asked so carefully, Wang Bian couldn't calm down a little. Fortunately, he was ready for this matter before he came, and he was not afraid that Li Xian would ask endless questions.
"Three people? It's not much, it's okay. Let's all call to meet each other. Grandpa Cheng, please take a little more time.
Li Xian still did not show his attitude, but pretended to be meditate and nodded. He looked sideways at Cheng Denggao, who was waiting beside him, and said faintly. Although his voice was peaceful, his voice was full of unquestionable determination.
"No, Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and come back." Cheng Denggao obviously had already made relevant preparations. He did not hesitate to agree and hurried out of the morgue. In a moment, he had led three little eunuchs back. Before Li Xian could speak, he had walked quickly to Li Xian and reported respectfully: "Your Highness, everyone has been brought here. Please give me a clear instruction."
"You're in a good job." Li Xian nodded politely and motioned. He glanced back and forth between the three eunuchs. Finally, he fell on a little eunuch with a slightly flustered look. He pointed to the little eunuch and said, "This father-in-law, please come forward. I have something to ask you."
"Ah, yes, yes, the maidservant obeys."
As soon as the little eunuch heard Li Xian's call, he was stunned first, and then looked at Cheng Denggao suspiciously, and then he hesitated to come forward.
"Name?"
The smile on Li Xian's face suddenly stopped, and he shouted with awe-inspiring face.
"Ah, the slave, the maidservant Sun Sheng kowtowed and kowtowed to your Highness."
Li Xian's body was full of evil spirit, and this was even more terrible when it was serious. The little eunuch was just a humble person. He could not stand Li Xian's treatment like this. He was so scared that he trembled and knelt on the ground with his legs and feet softly.
"How did you find that Cui Yuan committed suicide?"
Li Xian did not have the slightest pity because the little eunuch was shocked. He drank coldly. His voice was so loud that everyone in the room had a pain in their eardrums.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I said it, that's it, it's like this..."
As soon as he heard that Li Xian's voice was wrong, Sun Sheng did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly kowtowed and intermittently told the matter. What he said was almost no different from the previous Wang, that is, even some words were the same. Obviously, these guys had already confessed before they came in.
"Well, is what you two see the same, huh?"
Li Xian did not care about Sun Sheng, who was kneeling in front of him, but turned his eyes to the other two uneasy eunuchs and asked in a cold voice.
"It's true. I dare not deceive Your Highness."
Hearing Li Xian's question, the two little eunuchs looked at each other quickly and answered with one voice.
"Very good, prince, can you be sure that Cui Yuan's death was the first to be discovered by you?"
Seeing that the four confessed so clearly, Li Xian not only did not get angry, but also bent the corners of his mouth and showed a mysterious smile. He did not continue to ask the little eunuchs. He turned his head and asked Wang Ben.
"This..., it should be. There should be no one else in this prison except me."
As soon as he saw something wrong with the smile on Li Xian's face, Wang Ben obviously hesitated for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and replied.
"In other words, there are no idle people in this prison that can act at will except for the prince and others. Is it right to understand this?" Li Xian was not in a hurry to open the cards, but pressed for the camp step by step.
"This, this..."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's strange question, Wang Beike did not dare to answer casually. He hesitated and turned his eyes to Cheng Denggao. It was not until he saw Cheng Denggao nod his head quietly that he gritted his teeth and replied decisively, "Generally, no one can not disturb the outpost outside."
"Okay, that's good. When the prince said this, I can rest assured!"
As soon as Wang Ben's words fell, Li Xian suddenly applauded and laughed, making the whole room at a loss. He didn't understand how mysterious Li Xian was making a fuss, but no one dared to open his mouth at will. All he could do was to look at Li Xian there and laugh.
"The prince has heard an old saying - the sky net is long, and it is not leaky!"
After Li Xian laughed for a long time, his face suddenly became solemn and he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth murderous.
"This, this..., maidservant, maidservant, I don't know, Your Highness, you are..."
The evil spirit on Li Xian's body is brought out of the corpse mountain and blood, and it can't be afforded by such inferior people like Wang Ben. Poor Wang Bian's heart is extremely humble. When he is rushed by this evil spirit, his whole body is soft, and his face is as pale as paper in an instant, and his body is like a sieve, but in this life and death. At the critical moment, he refused to accept it easily and stammered around, trying to muddle through the barrier.
"I don't know why? What an unknown reason, Eunuch Wang, you are so bold that you dare to kill people. How can I tolerate you!" Li Xianduo's shrewd individual, how could he be fooled by Wang Ben like this, and he snorted coldly.
"Ah, I don't have a maidservant. How dare I do such an evil thing? Your Highness, this is a crime imposed, and I don't accept it!"
As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Wang Bian suddenly panicked, and his body suddenly stiffened, and even roared in panic.
"If you don't accept it, okay? I'll give you some advice, so that you don't know what's wrong until you die!" Li Xian smiled coldly and his body flashed. As soon as he appeared in front of Wang Ben, he grabbed Wang Ben's neck with his big hand and picked it up like a chicken. He strode to the body lying on the ground, pointed to the purple mark on the neck of the body, and said in a cold voice, "See it clearly, the scar. It is extremely neat, and there is no trace of side marks and oblique marks. These marks can only be caused by the deceased being knocked unconscious and then hanging on the beam. Since there is no outsider to enter the prison here, who did you do this case? How dare you bully the orphan on the spot, how dare you be!"
"Your Highness, spare my life, my maidservant is wronged, my maidservant is wronged..."
As soon as he heard that Li Xian had lifted the card, Wang Ben's face was like a dead fish in an instant, but he refused to plead guilty and shouted endlessly...
