Chapter 348 Strive for Reason
"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. The prince has always been loyal to his duty. If you don't do this cruel thing, please stop the anger of the thunder."
Cheng Denggao didn't know what he did, but he knew the real cause of Cui Yuan's death. At this time, when he saw that Li Xian was so sure, he couldn't help but panicked, but he didn't dare to believe it all. He was worried that Li Xian was frauding. At another look, Wang Ben was controlled by Li Xian, afraid that he could not bear the pressure and really confessed. When he came out, he didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly grabbed Li Xian's side and persuaded him with a smile.
"Dediful duty? Ha, it's really a good joke. Humph, Cheng Denggao, I immediately took down Sun Sheng and other three people and went to face the saint with me. If there is any negligence, I will ask!"
Now, Li Xian will no longer save any face for Cheng Denggao, so he gave the order rudely.
"Ah, this, this..."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Cheng Denggao's heart immediately sank to the bottom. In an instant, he realized that the scars of Li Xian had said before were probably true. If it really happened to the imperial court, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do it. He had the intention to delay and not go, but he couldn't find a reasonable excuse for a while. He was in a hurry. I had to sweat profusely.
"Cheng Denggao, do you dare to disobey the decree!"
Li Xian carried Wang Bian with his left hand and raised his right hand. He lit up the dragon pendant given by Gao Zong and shouted.
"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave just obeys."
In the face of such fierce people as Li Xian, and gave Cheng Denggao a few more courage, he did not dare to say "no". He was complacent and unwilling, and could only reluctantly bow to the promise.
"Your Highness, maidservant..."
Liu Liu originally snuggled up to Li Xian timidly, but after Li Xian flashed and took Wang Ben, Liu Liu had lost his support and trembled with fear. At this moment, he saw that Li Xian had controlled the overall situation, but did not mention himself. He immediately panicked and walked forward trembling slightly. He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say. What's good? I'm so anxious that tears keep flowing.
"Don't worry, Miss Liu Liu. I'm all right. Let's go and go with me!"
Li Xian is shrewd. He knows that Liu Liu is worried about something. He is just afraid that Li Xian will forget the promise in front of him. After all, by this time, she has no value. Of course, this is just Liu Liu's own thoughts. Li Xian will not do this thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, but he is not like Liu Liu. The beauty, but considering Li Xulun's feelings, Li Xian must ensure the safety of Liu Liu.
"Hmm."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's order, Liu Liu suddenly calmed down, wiped a few tears in a panic, carefully snuggled up to Li Xian's side, and followed Li Xianxing out of the prison room step by step, escorting Wang Ben and other eunuchs involved in the case all the way to Qianyuan Hall...
Although Li Xian has been nearly an hour away, Gao Zong and others still did not disperse. They chatted in the bedroom. With their own thoughts, they naturally did not talk smoothly on this day. Generally speaking, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, laughed and talked about the scenery of Hebei until he saw Li Xian. When the soft and collapsed Wang Bianxing came in, the people survived the unbearable wait.
"Let's see my father and mother."
Li Xian didn't care about the surprised eyes of all kinds of people. He casually dropped Wang Ben, who had removed his arms and jaws, to the ground. He bowed respectfully to Gao Zong and Empress Wu, and saluted him meticulously.
"No, it's obvious that you are..."
Gao Zong looked suspiciously at Wang Ben, who fell softly on the ground, and then looked at Liu Liu, who timidly followed Li Xian. He couldn't figure out which play Li Xian was singing, so he hesitated to ask half of his words.
"To inform my father and emperor, my son and minister have been ordered to investigate the case and have obtained it. This woman's name is Liu Liu. She is a person who listens to the eighth brother. She is an important person. This father-in-law is one of the murderous suspects. The son-in-law is afraid that he will be killed again, so he has to mention it in person to see his father." Gao Zong opened his mouth, and Li Xian did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Well, after all, what happened to today's case?
Gao Zong has always believed in Li Xianzhi's ability. Otherwise, he would not have tried to make Li Xian the prince. At this time, as soon as he heard Li Xian's words so affirmation, he immediately became interested and sat up straight from the couch. The faction asked the case carefully, and his pale face turned red because of it.
"According to my father, according to my detailed investigation, early this morning, a maid of honor for Cui Yuan in the eighth brother's room brought a portion of lotus seed soup to the eighth brother. After drinking it, the eighth brother felt that his body was dry and hot, so he went to the bathhouse to take a bath. Later, Cui Yuan faked the order of the eighth brother and deceived all the maids of honor in the prayer hall into the bathroom. When the eighth brother's mind was a little unclear, he lured the women into the water, and then there was a tability. The minister thought that there must be something strange in the lotus seed soup, but the minister went a step late, and this physical evidence had been destroyed..."
When Gao Zong asked a question, Li Xian naturally had to answer. Then he bowed down and reported the results of the investigation one by one. However, after Li Xian finished speaking, Wu Hou had interrupted from the side and said, "This is the emperor. Xian'er can't talk nonsense. If there is no evidence, how can it be true!"
Ha ha, the old thief is anxious. It's too much! Li Xian despised Queen Wu fiercely in his heart, but his face was full of humility and replied, "The mother taught me a lesson. Originally, I didn't dare to be sure about it. Even if there was such a person as Miss Liu Liu's evidence, there was no physical evidence, but it was difficult to explain the root. But what was found later made me confirm the bowl of lotus seed soup. It's strange."
"Oh? What on earth is going on? Xian'er, come on!"
At this time, Gao Zong was very curious. He was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Hou's horizontal foot, and did not give Wu Hou Wu the opportunity to speak again. Some of them couldn't wait to interrupt and ask.
"In my father's words, the thing is that the son learned that Cui Yuan's person was the key to the matter, so he wanted to find out the truth from his mouth. Unexpectedly, Grandpa Cheng told the woman that she had committed suicide in the inner court. In addition to his surprise, he wanted to find out what was going on, and he took people there. The internal court supervisor carefully examined Cui Yuan's body, and then found something strange. However, the minister did not break it, but invited all the people who took the lead in discovering Cui Yuan's suicide, and asked about the story in detail. Under this question, the son's minister was shocked that Cui Yuan's death was murdered by life, and this Wang Ben and Wang Gong The public is one of the suspects, so I captured him and asked my father to investigate it in detail!" Li Xian's eloquence was very tight, and he reported that he was eloquent, but he did not directly explain how he found the flaw.
"Huh? How did Xian'er know that Wang Ben was the real murderer?
Li Xian dug a hole, and Gao Zong immediately jumped in and unconsciously was led by Li Xian's nose.
"It's good for my father to know that my son has dealt with him a lot because of repeatedly judging cases. Fortunately, he learned some small tricks, which were caused by interest, but he didn't expect it to be useful today. Father, do you know the difference between hanging himself and hanging up after being knocked unconscious by others?"
As soon as he saw that Gao Zong was already hooked, Li Xian did not dare to neglect him and further led Gao Zong to the depths.
"This... I don't know, is there really any difference? Xian'er, don't sell the key. Come on, just say it.
Gao Zong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and thought about it. He still didn't understand the difference between the two. He felt itchy and tighter.
"Yes, my son obeys the order, my father. As far as I know, if a person is alive, his neck will be messy due to struggle. Whether it is thrown by himself or forced to hang it up, it is the same. But if he hangs up after being knocked unconscious, the neck is neat, and there are no side marks and random lines. This is the scripture of Dali Temple. The experience of the old man must be true. Now, the minister carefully examined the death of Cui Yuan. Seeing that his neck was strangled, he knew that he was hung up after being knocked unconscious. However, the minister did not say anything about this matter, but carefully asked Wang Ben's discovery of the body. His answer with his son is as follows..." Li He said everything about how to lure Wang to be hooked. Finally, he concluded in an agitated tone: "Therefore, my son believes that Cui Yuan's death was a murder, and the purpose is to silence him. Even if Wang is not the main culprit, he must be an insider. If you investigate it thoroughly, the truth can be revealed. It can be seen that the eighth brother's place. Such an abnormal behavior is caused by people's frame-up. In fact, I implore my father to give an edict to thoroughly investigate this matter and return the innocence of the eighth brother!"
"I'm so angry that this happened. Come on, come on!"
Gao Zong has always spoiled Li Xulun, the young son. Unexpectedly, someone dared to frame him under his eyes. He was so angry. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he jumped out of the bed, and shouted in anger.
"I'm there!"
Cheng Denggao was waiting restlessly outside the bedroom door. Hearing Gao Zong's wild cry, his heart was in a chaos, but since Gao Zong had opened his mouth and could not allow him not to enter the door, he could only rush in bravely and promise in a loud voice.
"Cheng Denggao, I ordered you to take down all the suspects immediately, investigate, search the whole palace, and can't get the mastermind. I will cut off your dog's head!"
In anger, Gao Zong didn't think about who was standing behind this matter. He just exhaled the order to death, and completely didn't investigate the situation that it would not be finished.
"Ah, yes, the maidservant obeys the order"
As soon as he heard Gao Zong's order, Cheng Deng was sweating coldly, but he didn't dare to promise. Seeing that the matter had reached the edge of collapse, he was so anxious that he was hung up. His eyes glanced at Wu Hou, and his inside was full of undisguised asking for help and mourning...
