Be a master through ancient times

When the two concierges were brought up for interrogation, they all looked dazed. They didn't know why they were being interrogated again. Didn't they explain everything clearly a few days ago?And they also have evidence to prove that they have never been to the master's study at all.

Therefore, as soon as they saw Mu Yuanxiu, they yelled that they were wronged, saying that they did not kill the master.

Seeing that they were agitated, Mu Yuanxiu signaled his subordinates to let them go, and then said gently: "You two brothers, don't be afraid, I have no intention of suspecting you of committing the crime, but I still have some doubts about what happened that night, so Bring the two of you over for a chat."

After hearing what he said, Niu San and Xiao Liuzi relaxed a little, and after Mu Yuanxiu asked them to sit down and served a plate of refreshments, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.They had never been treated courteously by high officials, and Mu Yuanxiu's behavior made them a little flattered, and they wished to tell him everything they knew.

Mu Yuanxiu asked the question in the original way, and the answer he got was the same as the previous few days. The two looked open and clear, and it seemed that they were not lying.

Mu Yuanxiu raised his hand to put the teacup to his mouth, and asked seemingly casually: "I heard that Brother Niu likes to drink?"

Niu San's face changed drastically, and he immediately waved his hands: "My lord, I don't like to drink, I don't like to drink."

Mu Yuanxiu chuckled: "Brother Niu, don't be afraid. I also like to drink. I think going out for a few drinks in my spare time is one of the great joys in life." After that, he pretended to be intoxicated.

As the saying goes, drinking friends are very cordial when they meet each other. Niu San got excited and said happily: "The villain thinks so too. Those who drink three or five cups can't miss anything at all."

Mu Yuanxiu agreed very much: "Exactly, it seems that Brother Niu is also a man of temperament."

Niu San was even more proud, and for a moment he got carried away and started bragging like he was at a wine table.Mu Yuanxiu listened with a smile, and nodded his approval from time to time. The little six beside him were obviously restless. He didn't expect that Niu San, who had been scolded all the time in the mansion, had the same hobbies as this adult.

At this time, Mu Yuanxiu shifted his gaze to Little Six and asked, "Little Six seems like he doesn't like drinking."

Xiao Liuzi bit the bullet and said: "It's true that a villain is not as good as Niu San, but he also drinks a little during the festivals."

Mu Yuanxiu praised: "This is also very good. Drinking too much wine is not good. Not only does it cause headaches, but it is also easy to see things wrongly."

Hearing this, Little Six immediately had a common topic with him, and began to complain about Niu San, he said: "No, Niu San is like this every time he finishes drinking, the last time someone came from the mansion, he insisted on leaving One time is missing, I said he was dazzled and he is still arguing with me!"

Mu Yuanxiu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "When is it? How could one be missing?"

Little Six blurted out: "It was the night when our master was killed. The guests brought a group of people into the mansion, and they came out after a while. Niu San and I sent them out together, and then he kept saying that there seemed to be one person missing."

Niu San kept stopping him with his eyes, but he finally said it out, and his heart felt ashamed.

"Why didn't I hear from you before?"

The little six laughed and said: "The villain is thinking, this is just the nonsense that Niu San drank too much, and he was dazzled for a while."

Niu San hurriedly argued for himself: "I said that I only drank a little wine that day, why did my eyes blur? I clearly remember that when they came, except for the first person, they were all two by two. But wait When they came out, they were all in twos, isn't there one missing?"

Little Six said: "Then why didn't I notice?"

Niu San said angrily: "You're patronizing the piece of silver in your hand, how can you remember to look at the other things?"

Speaking of Niu San, he was a little annoyed. That night, when the group of people knocked on the door, he was one step behind Xiao Liuzi, and those people rewarded Xiao Liuzi with a piece of silver.He watched them helplessly, but no one paid him any attention.

When they came out, Niu San went to open the door first, and then stared at them to go out, but no one turned around and gave him a piece of silver as a reward.The resentment brought by Yinzi was too great, so he felt that he remembered it very clearly, but Xiao Liuzi just said that he was dazzled, and he said too much, and he himself had some doubts, whether he remembered it wrong at the time.So later when the government came to question him, thinking that one thing more is worse than one thing less, he simply concealed the matter, so that no one else would know that he drank that day.

This was an important clue, and Mu Yuanxiu was a little excited. He paid the two of them out of his own pocket and sent them out. Then he turned around and asked the clerk beside him if he had recorded their words.The clerk nodded to indicate that he had written it all down, and Mu Yuanxiu went to the tavern where Niu San used to go, learned some things, and took it to meet Tianhe Emperor.

"...Therefore, I think it is necessary to investigate the followers around King Jing that day."

The matter went round and round and came back to Yu Ji. Emperor Tianhe frowned when he saw this confession, and he asked Mu Yuanxiu: "Maybe it's because Niu Sanzui's sleepy eyes misunderstood it. Is it true that what a good drinker said? Can it be true?"

Mu Yuanxiu arched his hands and said, "My lord, that Niu San drinks a lot, so he won't get drunk easily. Because of Yu Shi's commotion in the early court that day, the people in his house were also very vigilant, so Niu San can't get drunk easily. The three went out for less than a quarter of an hour before they were found back. At this time, the wine in their stomachs was only three or two cups. They were not intoxicating at all, and naturally they couldn't see flowers. I also checked with the tavern manager about this matter. Because Niu San always sneaks out to drink, he has a deep impression on him. That day, he was a little surprised to see him leave early."

"In this case, let King Xuanjing enter the palace to have an audience. In addition, let those who went with him that day also enter the palace." Emperor Tianhe immediately made a decision, and then asked Zhang Fuhai to send someone to announce the decree.

Not long after, a voice came from outside the door. After Emperor Tianhe called people in, Yu Ji obediently saluted.

"Did you bring all those who went to Yu's mansion with you that day?"

"Father, you are all outside. The sons and officials who drove the horses that day brought them. I don't know why the father summoned you?" Yu Ji was imprisoned for more than ten days, and now he came out, looking very honest.

Emperor Tianhe glanced at Mu Yuanxiu, and Mu Yuanxiu immediately stepped forward to explain in a low voice, which made Yu Ji frown.

"You mean, one of the people I brought might be lurking in the mansion, waiting for an opportunity to kill Yu Yushi?" Yu Ji thought it was a joke, without his permission, who would dare to be so bold?

"Exactly," Mu Yuanxiu handed the confession to Yu Ji for review, "According to the confession, the people under your command are very suspicious, please help His Royal Highness to find the real culprit together, and give you back clean."

Seeing that Mu Yuanxiu helped him last time, Yu Ji reluctantly agreed. After he went out, he brought people in first. It was exactly according to the order when he entered the door that day. He was the first person, and the rest Guards come in twos.

When going out, Yu Ji remembered that he called a guard to his side and told him to go and see if Yu Yushi's grandson was caught later.If there is a vacant person next to that person, the person behind will fill in, one after another, until the last person becomes the only one.

"Really," Yu Ji looked at the extra person and muttered to himself, then he asked everyone else to go out, leaving him alone inside.

"Du Gang, tell me, where were you when the king came out of Yu Shi's house that night?"

"The villain has been following the prince, never far away." Du Gang replied very calmly.

"Really? Then tell me, where did the king go after he came out? Is it Wanghai Pavilion or Jiangxin Tower?" Yu Ji stared closely at his eyes.

Du Gang recalled it briefly, and then said firmly: "You went to Wanghai Pavilion."

"It really is you!" Yu Ji suddenly called out, "The king was so upset that day, he went back to the palace after going out, and didn't go anywhere else at all!"

Du Gang's pupils contracted sharply. He didn't expect that Yu Ji, who was always simple-minded, would cheat him. In desperation, he said, "This subordinate made a mistake. You did go home directly that day."

Yu Ji smiled coldly again: "You're wrong again, the king did go back to the mansion first, but then the more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, and he wanted to get drunk, so he turned to Wanghai Pavilion in front of the mansion."

He turned to Mu Yuanxiu and said, "Lord Mu, I'll leave him to you. Please make sure to check it out so that I can give you justice."

Mu Yuanxiu bowed his hands and said yes, and then returned to Dali Temple with Du Gang who was captured.Na Du Gang never admitted that he hid in Yushi's mansion and killed someone, only that he remembered wrongly that night.

Mu Yuanxiu saw that he did not repent, and after the interrogation was fruitless, he waved his hand and sent someone to be sentenced.Before half of the eighteen martial arts were used, Du Gang confessed, claiming that he was ordered by Yu Ji to kill Yu Yushi.

Of course Mu Yuanxiu would not believe this kind of nonsense, but no matter how much he asked, he insisted on this sentence, saying that it was the truth.

Mu Yuanxiu had no choice but to submit his confession.Emperor Tianhe was furious when he saw this, and vowed to find out who was hiding behind this, so he sent someone to thoroughly investigate Du Gang's details, and then discovered that Du Gang was recommended by the queen's natal family. No one else is involved.

The case has been investigated here, but there is no clue. Although the real murderer has been found, the person behind the scenes is deeply hidden.If you don't find him, you won't be able to convince the public at all. No one will think that people from the queen's natal family have a reason to frame the queen's parents. The reason why he confessed to Yu Ji must be because he couldn't stand the punishment. talk.

Emperor Tianhe decided to investigate again and asked Mu Yuanxiu to hide the matter first.But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon, the news that Dali Temple seemed to have found the real culprit who killed Yu Shi spread.The next day when he went to court, the people from Yushitai stood up again, imploring the emperor to announce the truth, punish the murderer and mastermind severely, and restore Yushi's innocence.

The other courtiers also agreed one after another, Tianhe Emperor was forced to have no choice but to promise to announce the truth within three days.

The people at Yushitai were still a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do. The emperor had already said so, and they could only wait another three days.

After returning to the study, Tianhedi couldn't calm down all the time. He picked up a memorial, saw that it was also about this matter, and immediately threw it aside in a state of upset.

"Zhang Fuhai, drive to the Kunde Palace!" He was going to ask the queen who dedicated this person, and see if there was any way to make him tell the truth.

"The slave obeys the order."
