It has been mid July, but the case still has no clue. The whole criminal Department has tried to find people called "spies" everywhere one after another, and there is no progress.
Xue GUI's hair is almost white, but nothing can be added to the file.
All the people in Prince Lu's residence who can use punishment have been screened. All the confessions and searched things have been sorted out repeatedly, but they still have no effect on the investigation of the case.
How and who killed the king of Lu?
I thought that this time I could find some clear clues like the last Qianwang case, and then I could throw the case out. The Ministry of punishment or the major case department could take the opportunity to get out temporarily. It's nothing more than being used as a knife. What's the difference between doing it once and doing it twice?
But the problem is that we can't find a clue now!
It's not that Xue GUI didn't ask xuanqingwei for help, but that he did. Xuanqingwei ignored him at all. The case of the Ministry of punishment is investigated by the Ministry of punishment. Xuanqingwei won't help anyone without the emperor's order.
Even if Ma xuanlin personally went to command the Yamen to find Pang ban, the result was the same. Xuanqingwei's attitude was very clear and would not intervene.
If there is no direction in the investigation, there is no way to push forward the case. In the end, it becomes like the criminal department is deliberately delaying time.
This time, the emperor was not as angry and anxious as before. Instead, he said "check" lightly. He didn't seem to care as before, let alone limit any time limit for solving the case. In this way, the pressure of the Ministry of punishment has been relieved to a certain extent. If you want to touch it again, you don't believe that you can't find any breakthrough.
But the emperor is not in a hurry, someone is always in a hurry. Even more than one or two. Just yesterday, rumors began to spread in the Imperial City, mostly in the streets. Some traffickers and pawns were whispering. Today, there are relevant words in the upper class circles of the imperial city on a small scale.
What? Of course, it is the case of the recent murder of King Lu.
Most of the Yamen servants of the Ministry of punishment lived in the Imperial City, and they were also ordinary people after they left the job. Their home was not a high gate red wall, and the neighbors around had something to ask them. When I first heard about it, I didn't think there was anything wrong. It didn't arouse the vigilance of many yamen servants until it vaguely seemed to point out something else.
He said, King Qian is in front and King Lu is behind. Two princes have died. Is it time for the royal family to change again? Many old people still remember that many princes die every time the royal family changes.
Then he said, fortunately, it didn't affect our common people, otherwise any friar could kill us like a chicken.
Finally, I don't know who did it. Forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with our people. But as the old saying goes, whoever does it will take advantage. We'll see what we can see.
These words in the market seemed ordinary, but they had a prairie fire situation, and finally quickly spread to the so-called upper class circles in the imperial city.
Compared with the people at the bottom, the people in the upper circles are much more informed and have more ideas. It is easy to draw new conclusions along with some statements in the market and the news they hear.
"Whoever does it takes advantage" is a common saying in the imperial city of the old Jing Dynasty. There are many explanations, which can be used in the upper class circle to use the cases of the murder of King Qian and King Lu.
People don't know that King Lu was ordered by the emperor to think behind closed doors recently, but who in the upper class circle doesn't know? The reason is that the clues of the Qianwang case were traced back to the king of Lu, and the key criminal "snake" has been missing, so that the king of Lu was speechless. Even most people don't think King Lu is innocent. After all, the "big test" is nothing new.
But now as like as two peas behind the king, the king of Lu died, and there was news that the death of King Lu was exactly the same as that of the king. Does this mean that the king of Lu was not behind the murder of the dry king, but just the unlucky guy who was framed?
Now that the unlucky guy is dead, doesn't it just mean that the murderer is still at large?
Finally, we should turn back to the old saying: whoever does it takes advantage.
Killing people should pay attention to the purpose. Unless they are crazy or crazy killers, even evil friars have to kill for a reason. For example, interests.
In these two cases, the old saying has the same meaning: look who gets the most benefits now, who may be the murderer of King Qian and King Lu! And it is very likely to continue to kill the old skills!
Who is this "he"? Except for one of these princes who participated in the "big test", I couldn't think of anything else.
Then who gained the greatest benefit in the case of the death of two princes?
Carefully calculated, it seems that there are only two people. One is the eldest prince, King Yang Baicheng, who captured most of the forces behind the two deceased princes. The other is to rely on strong financial resources to win over the aides left by the two princes and the seven princes of force, lingwangshu.
One boss, one youngest.
One belongs to the one who has always been the strongest prince; One of the biggest dark horses in this "big test".
Are suspected. What should I do? Nature is to follow the eye.
Who looks better, the eldest prince or the seventh prince? The question depends on who you ask. If you ask the merchant, it must be the seventh prince who is more pleasing to the eye; If you ask about the so-called "upper class" in the imperial city or the aristocratic family, it must be that the eldest prince looks more pleasing to the eye. This is the ass that determines the head.
This is not a question of who stands in line and which Prince, but of the old and new forces.
Even if the door valve aristocratic family has different princes, whoever ascends the throne will give the door valve aristocratic family a face and will not kill them all, because they are all a circle of influence and don't need it.
But the seventh Prince is different. From the beginning, he took a different way from ordinary people. It is an absolute new force, and now it is getting stronger and stronger. It is no longer a worry for several princes, but also for all aristocratic families. Because no one knows whether the new forces represented by the seventh prince will be cleaned up once they rise to the top. After all, the family has nothing to do with the seventh prince, and even has been stumbling.
Therefore, the result came to a conclusion here. The so-called upper class in the imperial city soon formed a unified caliber and intentionally or unintentionally led the "behind the scenes" to the seventh prince.
Don't think that such "gossip" has no substantive significance. It is a wind that is steadily blowing from the dark to the light, and it also represents that the forces of all parties are gradually forming a consensus.
The consensus is that the spirit king beam is a threat to everyone.
