Be a master through ancient times

"Tell me, what's inside?"

Seeing that the eunuch insisted that it was a piece of coke, Mu Yuanxiu didn't rush to refute, but turned to ask other people.

The others faltered and hesitated, and none of them dared to look at Mu Yuanxiu. There was a guilty conscience all over their bodies, which made people frown.

"Lord Mu, what's the use of asking them? They are guilty of thieves, and they must not dare to touch the artifact." The eunuch said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My father-in-law means that because you didn't steal it, you are the only one who dares to touch the artifact. Who would have thought it was a piece of coke?" Mu Yuanxiu said.

The eunuch nodded and said: "Exactly, our family has a clear conscience, so naturally we are not afraid of any artifacts, but for some reason, Mr. Mu is the only one who dragged our family out?"

Mu Yuanxiu shook his head: "You don't have a clear conscience, it's just that you are a little clever. Although you stole that thing, you know that there is no magic weapon, and you also know that it is impossible for me to find out in a short time, so Use tricks, so that you can be hidden among the crowd. But you didn't expect that other people would dare not touch it, which made you more conspicuous."

The eunuch laughed loudly at first, and then turned cold: "This is just your guess, and our family did not steal the tung oil, so naturally we will not be afraid. It is a matter of clear conscience, but in the eyes of adults, it is a deep-seated plan." , Your Excellency is really capable of turning black and white."

He looked at Mu Yuanxiu sarcastically, but unexpectedly Mu Yuanxiu also burst out laughing, while bowing his hands to the emperor: "My lord, I am very sure that the one who stole is this father-in-law."

"My lord Mu, I don't understand why you keep saying that little Wu Zi is the one who stole tung oil? There is no evidence and no evidence. Could it be that Dali Temple relies on guesswork to handle the case?" The queen was a little annoyed.

Mu Yuanxiu hurriedly clasped his hands to plead guilty: "The empress calm down, please listen to the humble servant. I wonder if everyone could hear clearly what this little Wuzi father-in-law said just now?"

Everyone nodded, no one could hear clearly.

Mu Yuanxiu smiled and continued: "Now that you heard it clearly, everyone should understand. He just said that he didn't steal tung oil, but when I entered the door, when did I say that we came to find someone who stole tung oil? Human? If it is not preconceived, how can ordinary people think of it so easily?"

Little Wu Zi was horrified, he couldn't maintain his composure any longer, he just froze in place, he never thought that he would be discovered because of these two words.

"The reason why I don't say what it is is to make everyone feel guilty. In this palace, there are treasures wherever you look. No matter how good the guards are, there will always be times when they can't restrain themselves and say It may be to steal a piece of pastry, steal some utensils, or even sell the master's things. In this way, when the official takes out the artifact, everyone will default that the official is looking for what they stole Things, fearing that the deeds will be exposed, naturally dare not touch them with a guilty conscience."

"At this time, someone did the opposite. In order not to appear guilty, he directly touched it with his hand, but it was a bit abrupt." Mu Yuanxiu glanced at Xiao Wuzi, his eyes were full of deep meaning.

"But at that time, the officer was not sure that he must be the person I was looking for, so I pretended to catch him and questioned, but I was still observing everyone to see if anyone relaxed. When I found that everyone was only surprised, but When Xiao Wuzi looked as if he was holding the winning ticket, he had confidence in his heart. Afterwards, I kept provoking him, because people only speak when they are furious. Sure enough, he revealed his secrets. "

Emperor Tianhe clapped his hands a few times, smiled, and praised: "Mu Aiqing handles the case closely, I really admire it."

Mu Yuanxiu said modestly: "It's just a coincidence. If you meet someone who is smarter, I will have nothing to do."

"At that time, Mu Aiqing must come up with other methods to handle the case. You have worked hard on Mu Aiqing. You can go to the side hall to rest for a while." Tianhedi praised him again, and then signaled Zhang Fuhai to take the other Everyone was taken out, only Xiao Wuzi was left here.

"The truth has come to light, you'd better tell the truth, why did you deliberately set fire to murder the three princes, did someone instruct you to do so?"

Little Wu Zi knelt on the ground, looking as if he was mourning his concubine, and did not respond to Tianhe Emperor's question.

"It's useless if you still want to help him hide the matter now. I have already sent someone to search your room. After the witnesses and evidences are all available, it will be a capital crime of ransacking your family and exterminating your family! Listening to you, I should have read it when I was young. Do you order books? I don’t know if your relatives will regret sending you to the palace when they know that you are the eternal sinner who caused the entire Wu family to be executed.”

Little Wu Zi was frightened out of his wits by his words, and unconsciously raised his eyes to look somewhere, but suddenly lowered his head when he received a sharp look.

All of this was captured by Tian Hedi, even though the speculation became reality, his expression did not change.

"Have you considered whether you want to be the sinner of the whole family, or tell the truth of the matter?"

Little Wuzi swallowed with difficulty, smacked his lips a few times, and when the words came to his lips, he changed his words and asked: "Can the sage agree with this slave? As long as the slave confesses clearly, he will not be as guilty as the whole family?" The most painful thing in his life, but other people in the family are innocent, how can they all become the souls of the unjustly killed by the knife because of the fault of one person?

Just as Tianhe Di was about to speak, the queen who had been silent all this time spoke.

"The Holy One is always magnanimous. As long as you are willing to tell the truth, he will naturally not hurt your family. But—" She changed the subject, "If you dare to say even half a lie, you and your people will all die without burial. land!"

Little Wu Zi's complexion changed drastically, his heart tossed and turned, and when he raised his head again, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, the person who instigates the servant behind the scenes is the Second Prince!"

He shouted, and at the same time quietly looked at the queen from the corner of the eye, thinking that she would be very happy if he helped her solve a worry, but he didn't expect the expression on her face to be more terrifying than before.

Tianhe Emperor was also full of surprise: "What did you say? Say it again, who ordered you to set fire to Yuchang Palace at night?"

Now that the words have been spoken, it is even more suspicious to change his words, so he said even more firmly: "It was the second prince's instigation. Although this servant works in the Kunde Palace, he is the second prince's person in private. If the Holy Majesty does not believe it, the slave There is a jade pendant in the room, which was given to the slave by the Second Prince!"

Tianhe Emperor's expression became more and more strange, and he couldn't help confirming again: "Is it the second prince? Isn't it..." The eldest prince?

"The person who ordered the slaves is the second prince, he—"

"Shut up!" the queen suddenly shouted angrily, and when everyone looked over suspiciously, she managed to regain her composure, "You slavish slave, how dare you involve others at will, aren't you afraid that the Holy Majesty will tear you apart?"

Tianhedi patted her hand and said: "What is the truth, I will not just listen to what he said. When the searchers come over, just see if there is the jade pendant he said. Speaking of it, The second child is indeed somewhat suspicious." He said this deliberately, wanting to see how the queen would react.

The queen was angry and impatient, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only force herself: "What the Holy Majesty said is, it's just... the concubine feels that a piece of jade pendant alone can't explain anything... Although the concubine has contact with the second prince on weekdays I don't get much, but I also believe that he should not be the one who murdered the three princes."

Emperor Tianhe made a very moved look: "The empress really deserves to be the mother of the country. I thought you and Concubine Zhang were in the same boat, but I didn't expect you to speak for the second prince. It's just that people should not be judged by their appearance, the second child is scheming." It's deep, and it's unknown whether he did it or not. I see the queen's expression is tired, how about this, Zhang Fuhai, take him back to Qianyuan Palace for questioning, and don't disturb the queen's rest. "

"The concubine is not tired—" the queen said hastily.

"Look at you, you still say you're not tired, and your complexion turns ugly. It's okay, you just go to rest, I will investigate this matter, and return Kunde Palace innocent." After finishing speaking, he got up and left .

The queen stared at his back, her chest heaved violently, and after a long time, she finally couldn't help but smashed the cup in her hand on the ground.The debris splashed, drawing a bloodstain on Lamei's face who had just entered the door.She held back the pain that was about to blurt out, and fell to her knees with a plop, even though the fragments underneath hurt her knees, she couldn't make a sound.

"Come here! Listen..." The queen calmed down a little bit, called her to her, and whispered a few words in her ear.Lamei's expression changed suddenly, but due to her majesty, she could only nod in response.
