First Lady of the Crown Prince - Chapter 692
Chapter 692
“Rokuro! Where did you go? Rokuro!”
is Mu Chuan’s voice.
Gu Jiao had been there for too long, and Mu Chuan was too late to wait for anyone, so she went out with Zhao Wei, Yuan Xiao and others to look for him. A little court lady from the Zhonghe Temple came with them.
This is the small courtyard of the Hall of Harmony. Generally, no one comes here. Except for a small wooden house with sweeping tools, there is a high wall and a few big trees.
At this time, Gu Jiao squatted under a big tree near the high wall. In front of her was a man lying in a pool of blood. There were three unconscious eunuchs lying near the small wooden house behind her.
“This, what’s the situation?” Yuan Xiao asked dumbfounded.
“Liu Lang!” Mu Chuan strode over.
Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei also quickly followed.
When they passed the cabin, they all glanced at the three eunuchs who were arrogant.
Yuan Xiaochong and the two shook their heads.
He could feel that the three of them were out of breath.
Zhao Wei looked worriedly at the little back figure who was squatting on the ground, not knowing whether he was drawing circles or doing something: “Rokuro will be fine, right? Is it injured or frightened?”
This looks like a terrible murder scene!
What normal person can squat there? If you don’t scare away, you can hide away quickly, so you can separate the relationship, don’t you?
The three of them walked quickly to Xiao Liulang’s side. Mu Chuan was on the left, Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei were on the right. Zhao Wei thought he was far from Xiao Liulang, and simply bypassed the man on the ground and came to the opposite of Gu Jiao.
And the little palace lady who came with them has quickly called for someone.
“Rokuro, are you okay?”
The three asked in unison.
After playing together for a long time, the tacit understanding between several people has also increased day by day.
Gu Jiao said, “It’s okay.”
Only Mu Chuan had seen Nangong Li among the three, but it was a pity that Nangong Li had a bloodstained face and his face was difficult to distinguish, and Mu Chuan was worried about Xiao Liulang, so he did not recognize him.
Mu Chuan frowned and asked: “What’s the matter?”
Gu Jiao said honestly: “He was killed.”
Mu Chuan looked at Gu Jiao puzzledly: “Then why are you squatting here? Waiting to be caught as a murderer?”
I am the murderer.
Gu Jiao said, “My feet are numb.”
is really numb, the kind that can’t get up.
Mu Chuan: “…”
Yuan Xiao: “…”
Zhao Wei: “…”
Mu Chuan and Yuan Xiao each stretched out a hand and put Gu Jiao up.
On the other side, the little palace lady brought the **** in charge of the Zhonghe Temple. It was Li Sande, who was also followed by several palace guards.
is not the Yulin Army. Only the emperor is qualified to dispatch the Yulin Army. At this time, the emperor is in the Jinluan Temple, and Li Sande has not yet reported it.
Li Sande saw several students in Tianqiong Academy at a glance, and his eyes fell on Gu Jiao’s shirt.
Mu Chuan and the three of them followed his gaze and immediately buzzed in their minds.
Gosh!
How come there is a **** handprint on Rokuro’s clothes!
Just now, Gu Jiao squatted there, hugging her knees, her clothes were blocked, and they didn’t even notice the **** handprint for the first time.
This is when Nangong Li grabbed her clothes and left her last words before she died.
According to the original plan to take care of Jiao, Nangong Li flees every day as soon as she dies. It doesn’t matter if the clothes are dirty, she wears an extra one inside.
But who made her feet numb.
Plan A was declared dead, but fortunately, she came up with Pulan B in a hurry.
Plain B is executed next.
The little palace lady had reported the situation to Li Sande. Li Sande knew that Mu Chuan and the other two were later, and only Xiao Liulang was the scene of the crime.
Li Sande confirmed the identities of three eunuchs. The young eunuch’s surname was Hu. Everyone called him Mustache. The other two eunuchs were called Tong Nang and Wei Xi.
Neither were the eunuchs who worked in the Palace of Zhonghe, but the Shangshan Supervisor from the twelve prisons. The Shangshan Supervisor was in charge of the royal meal, food in the palace, and banquets.
Because of their special functions, the Twelve Prisons have the qualifications to enter and leave the three halls. The two are here to inquire about the monarch’s lunch.
But didn’t they have finished asking and left? Why are people killed here?
Even more weird is that there are still sacks and ropes on the ground that are not used for any purpose. What is it for?
“Are you sure it was killed?” Li Sande asked several palace guards.
The three nodded, they were extremely sure.
Gu Jiao looked at Li Sande and his party. The death of these three eunuchs had nothing to do with her. They were accidentally injured by Nangong Li’s internal force.
Li Sande went to see the man under the tree again. Compared with the three eunuchs, the death of this man was a bit too miserable. He was penetrated through his chest with a sharpened branch, and the murder weapon was not taken away. So arrogantly thrown on the scene.
Li Sande had a foreboding of the seriousness of the matter. He was the chief **** of the Palace of Zhonghe, and the murder happened under his nose. No matter how he looked at it, he was negligent.
He doesn’t understand. The palace is heavily guarded. Who dares to make trouble in the palace after eating a bear heart and a leopard?
“Have you not found any suspicious people?” He asked the accompanying guard.
The guard shook his head.
Gu Jiao was not surprised by this. The palace was heavily guarded, but for a master like Nangong Li, it was not too difficult to avoid the line of sight.
In addition, Nangong Li may have a good knowledge of the handover and patrol of the palace guards, which can take advantage of the defense.
This killing location should have been carefully selected by Nangong Li, and it was completely a blind spot in the Palace of Zhonghe.
Li Sande finally came to Nangong Li’s face. This time he carefully looked at Nangong Li’s face, and the more he looked at it, the more he realized something was wrong.
He took out his veil and wiped the blood stains off Nangong Li’s face, and then he heard an exclamation, and the whole person stood up!
“Grandpa Lee!”
The guards thought it was the man who cheated the corpse, and rushed to protect Li Sande.
But when they saw the blood-stained face, they also showed the same shocked expression as Li Sande.
The matter is very important, Li Sande asked Gu Jiao about the specific situation on the spot.
Who is the murderer?
What happened?
What’s the matter with the **** handprint on the lapel?
“I don’t know.”
“did not see it.”
“When I came, those three were already suffocating. This one, there is still a breath. I know a little bit of Qi Huang, so I wanted to rescue him. He grabbed my clothes, as if trying to tell me who the murderer was. , It’s a pity that I died before I finished talking.”
Gu Jiao said calmly, her expression was incredibly open, she had no guilty conscience.
Mu Chuan hurriedly said: “I can testify! Xiao Liulang really knows medical skills!”
Zhao Wei echoed: “Yes! We can all testify! On the day of our confrontation with Pingyang Academy, the students from Zizhu Academy and Songshan Academy fought, and the attic wall collapsed. Xiao Liulang was rescued on the spot! Several deans are here! If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to ask!”
Yuan Xiao added: “There is also Anguo! Xiao Liulang has treated Anguo!”
In fact, there is no inevitable causal relationship between Gu Jiao’s understanding of medical skills and Gu Jiao’s rescue of Nangong, but as long as her medical skills are proved to be true, her move to stay to rescue the wounded is valid.
If you want to overturn this fact, you must find strong enough evidence.
Judging from the **** handprints on her body, there are only two possibilities for her to appear here, either to save or kill.
The motive to save people is already there. She is a doctor, she is kind and will not die.
The motive of killing is hard to say.
Mu Chuan said: “Xiao Liulang is not from Yan country. He has only been in Shengdu for a month. He neither knows General Nangong nor the three father-in-laws. Why did he kill them?”
“Perhaps it was instructed by someone?” a guard speculated.
Mu Chuan hehe said: “Instruct General Nangong to sneak into the Palace of the King’s Zhonghe? Or instruct the three eunuchs to come here obediently and wait for him to kill?”
Yes, the presence of four people here is indeed a big suspicious point in the case. How do you think that Xiao Liulang has no such ability to get the four of them together.
Mu Chuan continued: “The most important thing is that General Nangong is highly skilled in martial arts, and Xiao Liulang hasn’t left for long. You think that a student from Tianqiong Academy can kill me with a branch in such a short period of time. Is the famous General Nangong?”
Mu Chuan’s remarks can be regarded as the heart of a few people.
Yes, aside from the motivation and timing of the crime, it’s ridiculous that a student who has come from the country can kill the famous general of the country.
It’s just that Li Sande didn’t trust enough. It was about General Nangong, and the monarch had to trust him.
Li Sande personally went to wait outside the Jinluan Temple, and the monarch immediately reported to him about the Zhonghe Temple.
The face of the monarch became ugly.
Li Sande knelt on the ground, his back was soaked with cold sweat in fright.
There are many doubts about this matter, and the first one is why Nangong Li sneaked into the palace privately.
In fact, this crime alone is enough for the monarch to execute him, but being executed by the monarch is one thing, and being killed is another story.
“Zhang Dequan.”
“The minion is here.”
“Go and call Dali Siqing and Shangshu from the Criminal Department.”
“Yes.”
This is to thoroughly investigate the case.
The monarch continued: “Besides, that student, take him to the jail and torture him.”
There are seven or seven forty-nine types of torture in the jail.
If the student lied, the prison will ask the truth.
If he has suffered all the punishments, no matter what the truth is, the monarch will not pursue it again.
Because the monarch had spoken out, as long as he had survived all the torture in the prison, even if he was guilty, he would be released on the spot.
It’s a pity that no one has succeeded so far. Many people have been tortured to death halfway through.
Zhang Dequan first sent people to the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple, and then he personally escorted Gu Jiao.
After a while, he returned to the main hall of Zhonghe Temple, his expression a little hard to express.
The monarch sat behind the desk and glanced at him lightly: “What’s the matter?”
Zhang Dequan said in a dilemma: “People…people didn’t take them to the jail.”
The monarch closed his eyes to rest his mind: “He committed suicide?”
Zhang Dequan said: “No.”
The monarch said lightly: “That is what he did?”
“Neither.” Zhang Dequan said, “I was taken away by the little princess, and the little princess said…that student is her teacher!”
