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

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, "Go ahead!"

With Xiao Jun's permission, Yao Dongfang straightened his chest slightly and said in a low voice, "Based on the massacre of Yizi Village and several other villages, I have confirmed that there are no such vicious and powerful bandits near the capital."

"If it was bandits who committed the crime, they would not have eliminated any traces, leaving no clues at all. They don't care at all, so who would know it was them who did it."

"Plus what Zhu Youcai said, that they were wearing the clothes of the imperial guards of the capital, which further confirms my speculation that it was done by a powerful figure in the capital."

"There aren't many big shots in the capital who have the power to destroy a village!"

Yao Dongfang glanced at Xiao Jun, and after receiving his encouraging look, he continued, "Several great kings, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all have their own guards."

"The most likely possibility is... a few great kings!"

Tian Ruomo gave Yao Dongfang an approving look.

This seventh-rank Dali Temple official is really courageous.

If it were other officials, even if they had such suspicions, they would quietly swallow them in their stomachs and would never dare to investigate, let alone express their suspicions in front of Xiao Jun.

If one thing goes wrong, his life will be in danger!

"Master Yao, what is the clue you are investigating, and who does it point to?"

Yao Dongfang looked around again. The guards ignored him and focused on the surrounding environment. He then bowed and said, "Reporting to General Tian, ​​I have found out that earlier in the day when the tragedy happened in Yizi Village, only His Royal Highness the Prince of Dai led a large number of guards out of the city."

"I just came back from outside the city on the evening of the second day after the tragedy!"

Xiao Jun's brows furrowed immediately, "Based on this alone, you suspect my Sixth Brother?"

Yao Dongfang said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is just one of the doubts. Another doubt is that I had the honor of meeting His Highness the Prince of Dai up close once last year!"

"Zhu Youcai, a survivor of Yizi Village, said that the leader had a red mole at the corner of his mouth, and His Royal Highness the King of Dai also had a red mole at the corner of his mouth."

Xiao Jun's face suddenly darkened.

In the court, Tian Ruomo suddenly asked Xiao Zhong whether he knew about Yizi Village, and it was obvious that she suspected Xiao Zhong.

Now, Yao Dongfang’s investigation also points to Xiao Zhong!

There are too many coincidences, and that couldn't be further from the truth.

In Xiao Jun and Tian Rumo's hearts, they were basically certain that it was Xiao Zhong who did it.

Over the years, he and Xiao Chong had had many clashes in the struggles between brothers.

His brothers and sisters would do anything to harm each other.

However, he believed that these royal brothers still had a bottom line.

They never wantonly killed civilians!

Why did Xiao Zhong do this?

There is no point in massacring those people for anyone.

Tian Ruomo said in a deep voice, "Let Zhu Youcai identify him and we'll know!"

Xiao Jun whispered, "We can't be so direct. If I were to take action directly, it would be considered that I was deliberately targeting the Sixth Brother, starting with him, and then moving on to the other brothers."

"If this happens, these brothers will panic, especially since our affairs cannot be concealed today. If you and I join forces, they will stand on the side of the Sixth Brother and unite to fight against us."

"Although we are not afraid, it may take a big conflict and heavy casualties before we can finally put an end to this matter!"

Tian Rumo thought about it and realized that this was the case!

Her sudden appearance and the military power she controls have made everyone fearful.

Once she told Emperor Ming of Jin about the matter between her and Xiao Jun, the news would immediately reach the ears of the other princes.

With her support, Xiao Jun's strength becomes so strong that no one can defeat him alone. They must be very anxious!

Tian Ruomo looked at Xiao Jun, "Do you have any solution?"

Xiao Zhong did such a cruel, brutal and unforgivable thing, she must make him pay with blood.

Xiao Jun thought for a moment and looked at Yao Dongfang. "Lord Yao, do you dare to write a letter to report this matter to the emperor, asking him to personally preside over the case and conduct an open trial to bring justice to the public and the victims?"

When it comes to princes, especially those who have a large number of private soldiers, things are not that simple.

Even the Dali Temple cannot arrest a prince for interrogation and confrontation.

Then, the best way is to hold a public trial!

If it was Xiao Chong who did it, and the evidence was made public in front of the princes, they would not suspect that Xiao Jun deliberately targeted and framed Xiao Chong.

In this way, other princes can avoid making random guesses and making wrong decisions in a hurry.

He did not want to completely eliminate the threat posed by his brothers through violence. On the contrary, he wanted to ease the relationship between them and create an opportunity for many lives.

If the private soldiers in the various fiefdoms rebel, Xiao Jun is confident that he can destroy them.

He doesn't want too many people to die!

Tian Ruomo knew what Xiao Jun was thinking and was very supportive of it.

Of course it would be best if the problem could be solved without bloodshed!

Yao Dongfang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tian Rumo.

Tian Ruomo smiled and said, "Master Yao, do you dare or not?"

Yao Dongfang took a deep breath!

His life and death, honor and disgrace, are decided at this moment!

Sometimes, life is a gamble.

If you lose the bet, everything will be gone!

If he wins the bet, he will be very successful!

He was fully aware of the danger of this action!

Since I have decided to hold on to someone like Tian Rumo, I want to have big ambitions instead of just doing hard labor in my current position with no hope of advancement.

Moreover, he has investigated Xiao Zhong.

Now that you've started, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Once you embark on this road, you will have no choice but to walk on it until the end.

Perhaps, the future is definitely dark, or it may be a bright road.

He mustered up his courage and said, "Dare!"

"it is good!"

Tian Ruomo gave Yao Dongfang a thumbs up, because she knew that not to mention a seventh-rank official, even a first-rank official might not dare to do such a thing.

This is risking your life and property!

"Give me a copy of the memorial you wrote to His Majesty!"

"If Your Majesty suppresses it, I will read the memorial to the emperor in the morning court tomorrow."

"When the time comes, you may be summoned to see the emperor. Just do your job and leave the rest to me and the prince!"

With Tian Rumo's words, Yao Dongfang's confidence increased.

From now on, he belongs to Tian Ruomo and Xiao Jun. As long as he passes this hurdle, his future will not be blocked by his current superiors in the Dali Temple.

To put it bluntly, as long as he can pass this test, he will soon make those superiors who have excluded and suppressed him kneel down and beg for mercy before him.
