Chapter 645 Anonymous Letter, please see the Princess

The "Midsummer Palace Banquet" ended with the death promoted by the aristocracy.

The party urged to be killed, and the official murderer was Jun Jiang Gong, the last head of the Hu family as one of the "three political policies" of Xiliang.

But in the eyes of Xue Dongchang and Kong Xilin, the real murderer is His Royal Highness.

"It's not me!" The next day, the emperor finally stared at the two "partners" and resolutely declared his innocence: "The nobles have been unconvinced, and the attitude of the Hu and Qing people has also been understood by me. They will not compromise in any case. They will transfer the power that should belong to them to the royal family and lose their With the control of their old departments, I don't need to come up with such a murder case at all. I just need to wait for the political committee to deny the negotiation of the title.

Kong Xilin, who occasionally sang against the emperor during this period of time, did not believe it. He shook the folding fan in his hand and gently tilted the corners of his lips: "Although the world knows that Junjiang Gong is narrow-minded and violent, there are not only one or two lives caused by alcoholism, but also hates the party. Yesterday, he cursed in public and cursed the party. He couldn't die well. There was indeed a cause of the murder, but he was drunk at that time, and the party was not a literati who had no power to tie a chicken. I don't believe it.

The case has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Because there was evidence at the scene, in addition to a servant, there was also a guest, who was also an aristocrat. He witnessed the incident and pointed out that Duke Junjiang killed people, and the murder weapon was the sharp dagger carried by Duke Junjiang, so he had to report that the Ministry of Justice forced the king of Xiliang to strictly investigate. Wang Ling immediately carried Junjiang Gong, who was in a coma because he broke his head at that time, back to the government and put him in prison.

This is really not the only evil he committed after Junjiang Gong's alcoholism. There are at least seven or eight slaves killed by him, and even civilians were killed by Junjiang Gong with a sword because they accidentally collided. Therefore, although he claimed that he remembered nothing after waking up, he only denied the party's urging to kill him, which was really unconvincing.

"Although Zheng Xiong, a witness, is a nobleman, is a relative of the Qing family. Among the many guests yesterday, he is considered a neutral." Dajun said slowly, "Zheng Xiong has also made military achievements this time and is one of the expected to be crowned, but he is not enthusiastic. What does this mean? It shows that he still cares about the relationship with the Qing family. At least on the surface, he doesn't want to quarrel too hard with the Qing family. It can be seen that this person is not so easy to buy.

Dajun meant that he had no way to buy the certificate, so it was impossible for people to kill the party, but asked Zheng Xiong to voluntarily testify that Junjiang was killed.

"But I also think the real murderer may not be Duke Junjiang." Dajun smiled softly: "Zheng Xiong claimed that when he came out of the clean room and saw Junjiang Gong chasing the party to go to the waterhouse, he was worried about what would happen and followed him. Unexpectedly, he saw Junjiang Gong killing people with a dagger and stabbed into the party's chest. When Junjiang Gong saw that the crime was exposed, he pulled out the murder weapon and went straight to Zheng Xiong. Then he was counterattacked by Zheng Xiong and crashed into the wall and fainted. The servant outside was first shouted back by Junjiang Gong, and then he dared to come forward after listening to Zheng Xiong shouting. What he saw was that Junjiang Gong's forehead fainted. Zheng Xiong knelt on the ground and helped the party to push the wound. The party urged ignorance and unconscious. He and Zheng Xiong were bathed in blood all over.

Seeing Kong Xi's frown and thinking, Xue Dongchang was still confused. Dajun patted Dongchang on the shoulder: "Zheng Xiong is the Qing Party. Originally, he was a sworn friend of the Hu Party. The party urged that he used to be a close friend of Duke Junjiang. What did these two people do with Zheng Xiong? Why did he rush to get involved? , are you suddenly worried that something will happen?"

"Is it true that Zheng Xiong is the real murderer?" Xue Dongchang is like an enlightenment.

Dajun took two steps and said confidently, "I infer that the truth should be like this."

- Although the scene of the case is in the garden, it is a relatively quiet place. In terms of the opening of the people's customs of Xiliang, the aristocratic banquets do not avoid the distance between men and women, but the clean room for the male guests and women's family must still be set up "south and north". At that time, Duke Junjiang was helped out of the banquet hall in order to clean the house, which also decided the case. The discovery site cannot be a place for women to sit and enjoy the scenery.

The nobles go to the banquet and dress extremely carefully, which causes a lot of inconvenience when going to the toilet. Naturally, the stews of the magistrate will not neglect this detail, so the layout of the clean room is also particularly exquisite, and specially prepared a place for the nobles to take off their clothes and decorate. Generally speaking, the women are with their own slaves around them, and they are also prepared to prevent In case of changing clothes and even repairing makeup, the male guests are not so troublesome, and because the main house is originally equipped with servants to guide the way, and of course, there are maidservants serving in the clean room. Male guests generally do not bring their own slaves to solve the "three emergencies".

Xiliang people are still martial, and nobles are used to wearing long swords and waist knives, but because it is a banquet in the emperor's mansion, most people still will not bring weapons to the banquet. However, Duke Junjiang is different. He originally likes to show off. Obviously, he is not very good at swordsmanship, and especially likes to collect famous swords and sharp weapons. Because he is a royal family with three surnames, he is somewhat special. Quan, it is not rude to wear a sword when he goes to the banquet. He not only wears a sword, but also carries a dagger that he especially likes.

Duke Junjiang must be in a bad mood that day. Compared with the past, drinking became faster and faster. Mrs. Junjiang was probably very disgusted by his bad wine and knew that she could not persuade him, so she left the table early in the morning and was not bored.

When Junjiang left the banquet hall to go to the toilet, he was helped out by the servants of the Great King's Mansion, which showed that he was already drunk.

When he arrived at the clean room, the rough-handed servant would naturally not serve Junjiang Gong's clothes and undressed, but only handed him over to his maidservant.

If you are an ordinary guest, the maids probably won't follow the compartment. After serving the wide clothes to help take off the waist accessories, they should prepare hot tea with water, so that the guests can rinse their hands and then serve them to wear. However, Junjiang's father-in-law was obviously drunk, and the maidservant was also worried about an accident. Perhaps Junjiang's father-in-law himself also needed a maidservant. In short, he should be asked to follow him into the compartment.

In addition to cleaning the rough servants who burned incense in time, there are only two maidservants on duty outside the clean room. One serves Junjiang Gong, and the other has to take care of other things, which is inevitable to be distracted.

This caused a pile of things taken by Junjiang Gong, such as swords, daggers, jade pendants, belts, etc., to become unattended.

Coincidentally, Zheng Xiong happened to have to enter the clean house, or just solved the three emergencies. He must have seen Duke Junjiang and knew who the pile of things belonged to.

"Zheng Xiong must be happy to see the adoption of the new policy, but he doesn't want to have a standoff with the Qing family. Maybe he will figure out how to use others to make a big deal at the banquet and promote the implementation of the new policy. When he saw the dagger carried by Duke Junjiang, he may have moved his mind and thought of the murder. He is a member of the Qing family and the Hu Party. There were old grievances, and I witnessed the Hu's party members' many dissatisfaction with Junjiang Gong, so they subconsciously stole Junjiang Gong's dagger to trick me. Dajun analyzed.

Prime Minister's dagger is more likely to be neglected by Junjiang Gong, so that he will not find something lost at that time. Second, it is also convenient for Zheng Xiong to hide it and not be found by others. Because at that time, Zheng Xiong did not expect to get the opportunity to get the blame immediately. He could not be dignified. Take Duke Junjiang's sword out, and then find an opportunity to assassinate the Hu Party or Qing Party, leave the murder weapon at the scene, and blame Duke Junjiang.

Maybe Zheng Xiong hadn't figured out his plan at that time, but that thought was enough to prompt him to lead the sheep.

Since Zheng Xiong has been moved and took the first step, he will wander around and observe what actions Junjiang Gong has done, at least to make sure that Junjiang Gong did not immediately find anything lost.

Coincidentally, the party also came to clean the house.

But he did not enter. His seat was not far from Duke Junjiang. He witnessed that Duke Junjiang was helped out of the hall by two waiters. At this time, he saw two waiters waiting outside the clean room and asked that Duke Junjiang was still inside, so he planned to avoid it.

The party urged that he was not drunk, and he was also well aware of the virtue of Duke Junjiang after getting drunk and was unwilling to clash with him head-on. Therefore, when he saw the water bar not far away, he planned to go inside to avoid it for a while and wait for Duke Junjiang to leave.

This is not the king's conjecture, but has been confirmed in the servants.

But before the unlucky party urged to walk into the waterside, it was discovered when the "finished" Junjiang Gong came out.

When Junjiang Gong saw the party's hurried back, he was immediately furious and shouted "party thief" twice. Of course, it was impossible to call the party back, but it caused the party to accelerate its avoidance and quarrel with the old master at the banquet of the emperor's mansion. It was indeed a rude thing. It was impossible for the party to accompany Junjiang to play drunkenness.

Duke Junjiang chased after him. The two little men were from Dajun's mansion. He was afraid that things would be out of control, so he dissuaded them. Duke Junjiang was not willing to listen. He rewarded each of them with a big mouth, and even drew his sword and threatened them not to get in the way. The servants probably heard about Duke Junjiang's drunken evil deeds and knew that this was the master who did what he said. They were shocked and dared not keep up.

But of course, they will not obstruct the sudden appearance of Zheng Xiong from coming forward to persuade.

In the waterside, there were only three people who urged the victim, the perpetrator Junjiang and Zheng Xiong. The servants did not witness how the truth of the matter was, but it was true that Junjiang took the initiative to pester the trouble, and he was tired of evil deeds. Everyone believed that he would carry out the "heavenly dispatch" instead of the gods in anger. , in response to the curse of "not to die well".

"At the scene of the case, there was a sword that Junjiang Gong had come out of its sheath, indicating that he really wanted to kill the party to vent his anger, but the party's urging will certainly not sit back and wait for death. It should be that he took Jun Jiang Gong's sword and threw it aside. There was indeed a fight between the two. I guess Zheng Xiong really had a 'dissuaded' move. Maybe it was him, or maybe the party urged him to push Jun Jiang Gong caused Jiang Gong to faint. Dajun continued to analyze: "After Duke Junjiang fainted, the Party's promotion was still a little flustered. It was also a felony to hurt the surname Wang. Duke Junjiang's head broke his blood and fell to the ground, and the Party urged him to rescue him in order to save him."

Zheng Xiong realized that this was an excellent opportunity, so he quietly took out the stolen dagger and took advantage of the party's urging to suddenly kill him.
