Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds

Xiao Chong is the most taciturn of all the princes. He tries not to speak unless it is necessary.

He would only open his mouth when facing those brothers who ridiculed him.

At this time, although his eyes were not looking at Tian Rumo, like other princes, he would glance at Tian Rumo from time to time, as if unintentionally.

So, when he noticed that Tian Rumo was looking at him, his brows slightly frowned and he responded to Tian Rumo's gaze in confusion.

Tian Ruomo spoke up, "Your Highness, I have something to ask you!"

Xiao Zhong was stunned for a moment, then made a gesture of invitation to Tian Rumo, keeping his tone calm.

The current situation is that all the princes would not offend Tian Rumo if possible!

"General Tian, ​​please speak!"

Tian Ruomo looked at Xiao Zhong quietly, "Does your highness know of a village called Yizi Village?"

Yizi Village?

Xiao Zhong thought about it and shook his head.

"do not know!"

He really didn't know what Yizi Village was!

Tian Ruomo added, "This Yizi Village suffered a disaster not long ago. The entire village was slaughtered. The perpetrators were extremely cruel."

"After killing everyone, they set fire to the village. The scene was horrific!"

All the officials were suddenly in an uproar.

Prime Minister Xu Gongmin asked in confusion, "Where is Yizi Village?"

The Dali Temple Minister immediately said, "Lord Xu, Yizi Village is only forty miles away from the capital. It was attacked and massacred by bandits some time ago. The Dali Temple Minister Yao Dongfang is in charge of the investigation."

Xu Gongmin's face suddenly turned ugly. Such a tragic human tragedy happened at such a close distance, right under the feet of the emperor.

He said in a deep voice, "Any clues?"

The Dali Temple Minister replied, "The murderer is extremely cruel and cunning. Wherever he goes, he not only kills everyone but also burns the scene."

"In the past few years, four other similar tragedies have occurred around the capital. The circumstances are similar, and no clues can be found at the scene."

"There were no witnesses, and no traces of the criminals were found around the scene. It was obvious that the criminals had deliberately cleaned up the scene and the surrounding area after committing the crime."

All the officials were in an uproar again and started discussing!

"Such a terrible tragedy has happened just outside the capital. This is the first time I have heard of it. What is the Dali Temple doing? Why doesn't it report the matter to the emperor?"

"That's right. This is absolutely a serious dereliction of duty by the Dali Temple. Such a big thing has happened, but the officials of the court, even the Prime Minister, didn't know about it. This is really outrageous!"

"It happened more than once, five times. If General Tian hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have received any news. Shouldn't the Dali Temple Minister resign?"

······

All the officials criticized the Dali Temple for its inaction, and even cursed the imperial guards in the capital, causing the Dali Temple chief and several other officials who were related to the temple to break out in cold sweat.

The Dali Temple official explained, "These series of cases have all been reported to the emperor, but they were suppressed because they were worried that they would cause panic among the people."

"Your Majesty's will is that each of you has your own responsibilities. The investigation of the case has nothing to do with most people. There are special people in charge, and everyone should do their job."

All the officials in the audience fell silent. If it was His Majesty's order, it was normal for them not to know.

They also have nothing to say!

Prime Minister Xu Gongmin looked at Tian Ruomo with some confusion, "Why did General Tian suddenly ask His Royal Highness the King of Dai about this matter?"

All the officials as well as Xiao Jun, Xiao Ci and Xiao Ze all turned their eyes to Xiao Zhong.

Could it be that Xiao Chong was related to the village massacre?

Especially Xiao Jun, his face had turned gloomy.

Did Tian Rumo discover something?

She would never ask Xiao Zhong specifically for no reason!

No one present is a fool!

To be able to pull off a tragedy like this so perfectly, one must have tremendous strength.

A king is indeed capable of doing it!

Tian Ruomo smiled lightly, "I just asked casually, there is no reason. It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai really doesn't know about Yizi Village!"

People with red moles at the corners of their mouths are not common, but they are not particularly rare either.

It is unreasonable to determine who it is based on this alone.

However, since Xiao Zhong happened to have it and possessed such strength, he decided to test him.

However, Tian Rumo didn't hear anything from Xiao Zhong's heart!

He was extremely calm, with nothing on his mind. He was like still water, with nothing wrong from the inside out.

Isn't it him?

Tian Rumo still doubts Xiao Zhong in her heart!

Xiao Zhong snorted coldly, "General Tian, ​​do you really doubt me?"

Tian Ruomo was very honest and nodded slightly, "I do doubt His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai!"

"Because of the Yizi Village Massacre, there is still a child alive, and he saw the leader of the group."

She raised her hand and pointed at the corner of her mouth. "He said that the man was very young, and the biggest feature was that there was a red mole at the corner of his mouth!"

"It just so happens that the red mole on the corner of His Royal Highness Dai's mouth is very unique!"

what?

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhong, especially at the red mole at the corner of Xiao Zhong's mouth!

Xiao Zhong reached out and touched the corner of his mouth, without any ripples in his heart.

He deadpanned, "It's just a coincidence!"

"General Tian, ​​you are not thinking of putting the blame on me just because I have a red mole at the corner of my mouth, right?"

Tian Ruomo laughed, "That won't happen, it's just that you are investigating one direction."

Although at this time, Tian Rumo did not hear Xiao Zhong's voice, because Xiao Zhong had no distractions at the moment.

However, Tian Rumo still sensed a hint of deliberateness and concealment in Xiao Zhong's calm eyes and actions.

Later, find an opportunity to let Zhu Youcai take a look at Xiao Zhong to see if it is really Xiao Zhong!

Tian Rumo's words made Xiao Zhong feel annoyed.

Tian Rumo clearly suspected him!

He just snorted coldly and didn't argue any more.

Just at this time, Emperor Ming of Jin arrived.

All officials have finished their ceremony, and the morning court begins!

Emperor Jin Ming first glanced at Tian Ruomo and said, "I got the news yesterday that Qianshan Province was indeed taken by the Qingshan Army!"

These words did not cause any reaction in the court, because everyone had received the news.

Next, of course, is the discussion of the governance of Qianshan Province.

As expected, Emperor Jin Ming looked at Tian Ruomo and said, "Since Sun Gui is cruel and brutal and treats the people harshly, the Qingshan Army eliminated him, which is to relieve the worries of the court and should be rewarded."

"I recognize their contributions, so today, I will send a new Qianshan Jiedushi to Qianshan Province to take over the governance of Qianshan Province."

"General Tian, ​​just give the order to have the Qingshan Army withdraw to Shanhai Province and wait for the reward from the court!"
