Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple

"What did you say?!"

The queen mother was shocked, and the maid was terrified, and she didn't look like she was lying.Moreover, a maid who slanders and arranges His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lose her head.

The queen mother panicked for a while, and began to lose her mind.

Li Luo also had a rare face full of shock, the little prince Xie Tang killed the grand master?Han Taifu Han Jingting and Xie Tang have a very close relationship, and Xie Tang is obedient to Han Jingting, how could he suddenly kill Han Jingting?

Furthermore, no matter what grievances and grievances there are between Xie Tang and Han Jingting, according to Li Luo's understanding of Xie Tang, even if Xie Tang sometimes has a strong temper and is easy to act on his temper, he will never commit murder in a fit of anger .

"This...what the hell is going on here?"

The queen mother panicked and said, "Where is the prince? Take Ai's family to see!"

The maid almost couldn't get up, she was helped up by two eunuchs, she pointed to the distance and said, "That's right there! Over there..."

All of a sudden, there was no atmosphere in the feast for appreciating autumn.There were a lot of ladies and daughters who came to the banquet. When they heard that the crown prince had killed someone, they all showed horror and began to discuss in low voices.

A lot of people were invited to the banquet, besides the ladies, there were also many court officials, and they couldn't figure out what happened at the moment.

The palace maid led the Queen Mother and others, and hurried to the place where the accident happened, Li Luo and Xie Changying also followed behind.

After walking not too far, after leaving the garden where the banquet was held, the lights in front became a little dim, and it looked a lot more bleak, and I don't know what the purpose of the palace is.

Li Luo was not familiar with the imperial palace, but Xie Changying knew this place, it was usually so quiet here, it was a place for night duty officials to rest or change clothes, it was always very quiet, not as bustling as other places in the palace.

There is a large part of the palace, which is used by court officials to deal with important affairs.Every day, officials on duty at night will stay in the palace, so as to avoid any urgent problems that cannot be dealt with immediately.And these officials on duty at night will have some public rooms, where they can rest for a while, or change their clothes, and keep them properly dressed.

The main hall used for rest stands in front of you, and there are not many officials who are usually on duty at night, so there are only a few people coming and going, so naturally it cannot be said to be prosperous.

But at this moment, many people gathered outside the main hall, the guards and the palace people all came, and they were all panic-stricken, not knowing what to do for a while.

As he got closer, Li Luo smelled a bloody smell, which wafted in the early autumn night wind, and seemed a little strangely refreshing.

The queen was late, and everyone dispersed immediately, not wanting to be caught up in this matter, and hurriedly retreated about ten steps away, and then knelt on the ground with their heads down and dared not lift up.

Everyone knelt down, and Li Luo could see the situation in the hall at a glance.Sure enough, in the main hall, just at the entrance, there was a tall man with a knife stuck in his chest, and blood flowed all over the floor. He seemed to be dead and there was no way to save him.

only……

Li Luo whispered in surprise, "Isn't Taifu Han?"

The maid kept saying that the prince killed the Taifu, but now Li Luo saw that the dead tall man was not Han Jingting at all, but a man in his 50s and [-] years old with a rather unfamiliar appearance. Li Luo was sure that he had never met before. met him.

Xie Changying frowned, and said to Li Luo, "It's Taifu Zhao."

Li Luo suddenly realized that he was thinking too much.As the prince, the little prince Xie Tang has a very high status. How could the prince and Taifu have only Han Jingting alone?

Han Jingting is the prince and Taifu who teaches Xie Tang to read, and is also a master who has a close relationship with Xie Tang.Although Han Jingting's martial arts is quite good, but Xie Tang has a master who teaches him riding and archery, that is, Taifu Zhao who is dead in front of him.

"Ah! Mrs. Zhao!"

The queen mother only glanced at it, and couldn't help but let out a scream. She had never seen so much blood before, and she couldn't stop taking a few steps back.

"Queen Mother! Are you okay, Queen Mother!" The eunuchs came forward to help, for fear that the Queen Mother would be frightened out of good or bad.

"Father?! Father!"

After the queen mother exclaimed, someone exclaimed again.A woman who was kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up, ran forward in a hurry regardless of etiquette, and cried bitterly while shouting.

It turned out that this woman was Miss Zhao Taifu's daughter, who was favored by the Empress Dowager a few days ago and wanted to show Xie Changying, but today's autumn banquet has become a look for the little prince Xie Tang.

This Miss Zhao family came into the palace happily, she didn't expect her father to die suddenly like this before the banquet started, there really was no warning.

"Where is... the crown prince?"

Even the Queen Mother had stuttered, and was supported by the eunuchs, speaking tremblingly.

The eunuchs nearby were all confused, and a guard who arrived earlier reported, "Prince... the prince is still inside. Taifu Han is also inside..."

There was too much blood at the door, the queen mother wanted to go in to have a look, but she took a few steps back and said, "Come here! Come and find the prince for the Ai family! Bring him out!"

"Queen," Xie Changying stepped forward and said, "Changying, go and bring the crown prince out."

The Empress Dowager had lost her mind at the moment, and when she heard Xie Changying say this, she said, "Alright! Changying, go and bring the prince out quickly. Where is the prince?"

The main hall was dark, from the door you could only see Taifu Zhao's body, no matter how far inside it was, you couldn't see it.The crown prince is probably in the inner hall, no matter how much he probes, he will not be able to see clearly.

Xie Changying immediately glanced at Li Luo beside him, Li Luo nodded without saying a word.

Xie Changying led Li Luo into the main hall, carefully stepped over the blood and corpses, and headed towards the inner hall.

There were no lights in the hall at all, and it was completely dark.After entering, I could vaguely hear whining cries, as if it was haunted.

But Li Luo heard it all at once, it wasn't a ghost, but Xie Tang's cry.

Xie Tang was sobbing, and said vaguely while crying: "I...I didn't kill anyone...Master...Master, you believe me..."

They searched for the sound, and sure enough they saw Xie Tang and Han Jingting in the inner hall.

Xie Tang looked terrified, crying uncontrollably, Han Jingting held him in his arms, patted his back lightly, and said, "Tang'er, Tang'er, calm down, stop crying, okay?"

Xie Tang couldn't stop crying, he grabbed Han Jingting's sleeve tightly, and said, "Master! I really didn't kill anyone, and I don't know what happened, I...I..."

As Li Luo got closer, he could smell a faint smell of blood on Xie Tang's body, and through the hazy moonlight, he could see that Xie Tang's hands and sleeves were also stained with blood.Because Han Jingting held him in his arms, Han Jingting's body was also stained with a lot of blood.

Here Li Luo and Xie Changying had just entered the main hall, the emperor rushed over after hearing the news.

When the emperor saw Taifu Zhao dying at the gate of the hall, he immediately became furious, and scolded, "What's going on! What's going on!"

"In the palace, there are people who commit murder so openly!"

"Is there any king's law in the eyes! Is there an emperor like me!"

The emperor got angry, everyone knelt on the ground, this time they lowered their heads very low, no one dared to say a word.

"Father!"

Suddenly someone came forward, he could tell from his clothes that it was a prince, who seemed to be about the same age as Xie Tang.

This person is Xie Tang's younger brother of the same father and mother, only one year younger than Xie Tang.Both of them were born of the empress, but after the empress gave birth to two children, her health was extremely poor, and she passed away within two years.

Because Xie Tang was the eldest son of the legitimate son, he was made the crown prince, and Xie Di, who was the younger brother, missed out on the crown prince.

In this way, although Xie Tang and Xie Di are brothers, Xie Di has always been quite hostile to Xie Tang.

Xie Di came forward at this moment, and said: "Father, my son's attendant just happened to be nearby. According to what the attendant saw with his own eyes, it seems that Mr. Zhao was killed by the crown prince!"

"what?!"

The emperor was taken aback, and said: "The prince kills people? How could the prince kill people! Nonsense!"

Xie Di was reprimanded by the emperor, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father! How dare your son lie, it's absolutely true!"

He knelt on the ground and winked at the attendant next to him. The attendant stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has learned! A villain must not dare to lie! It is really... It was the prince who killed someone! Several palaces Everyone saw it!"

The palace people who were named were kneeling beside them, trembling one by one, and said tremblingly: "Return to Your Majesty... Maid, Maid just now..."

Things have to start just before the banquet is about to start.According to the little prince Xie Tang, he came to the banquet.It was originally a blind date banquet for the emperor's uncle Xie Changying, but it turned into a blind date for him. Xie Tang was very unhappy and didn't want to go there at all.

It's just that it's impossible not to go, and I can't refute the empress dowager's face. The empress dowager is still very close to the little prince Xie Tang on weekdays.

Xie Tang came to the palace alone, Han Jingting still has court affairs to do today, so he can't come with him, he can only arrive after the banquet starts.

As soon as Xie Tang entered the palace, an eunuch came and said that Taifu Zhao wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince, and invited the Crown Prince to come over, and wanted to talk to His Highness the Crown Prince about something very important.

Seeing that it was still early, Xie Tang immediately agreed.Taifu Zhao was on duty in the palace yesterday, so he invited Xie Tang to meet him in the main hall where he was on duty.

When Xie Tang came over, it was already dark, but he didn't see Taifu Zhao, so he waited for Taifu Zhao alone in the hall.

Xie Tang didn't have a good rest yesterday, and was extremely sleepy all day. Now that he calmed down, his eyelids felt heavy, and he wanted to sleep very much.

Xie Tang waited for a while, propped his elbows on the table, and fell asleep so drowsily.

Falling asleep, Xie Tang shivered, thinking that he was going to attend the Queen Mother's autumn banquet, he hurriedly opened his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes, there was actually one more person in the room, lying at the door, which shocked Xie Tang.

Xie Tang walked over and found that it was Taifu Zhao who came, but he didn't know what happened, Taifu Zhao was lying on his back at the door, as if he was playing tricks.

So Xie Tang walked over and asked Mr. Zhao what he was doing.

He walked a little closer and looked in a daze. Master Zhao fell to the ground with blood all over his side, and a knife stuck in his chest. His face was so ferocious that he had been stabbed!

Xie Tang panicked immediately, shouted for Taifu Zhao, and immediately ran over to check on Taifu Zhao's injuries, and anxiously called for someone, the doctor!Call the doctor over here!

Although it was deserted outside the hall, there were still maids and guards passing by on patrol, and several people heard Xie Tang shouting for the imperial physician at the same time.

The palace people heard the voice of the prince and didn't know what happened, but some of them rushed to find the imperial doctor, and some ran to the gate of the main hall to ask what happened to the prince and whether he was injured.

The attendant knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The ministers came to the gate of the main hall, but found that the gate was locked, and it didn't open at all after pushing."

The door of the temple was bolted from the inside!

Hearing this, everyone showed a horrified expression.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Taifu Zhao were alone in a large hall, the doors and windows in the hall were all bolted from the inside, Taifu Zhao died and was assassinated, and there was no one else in the house.

No wonder everyone would say they saw it with their own eyes, it was the prince Xie Tang who killed someone...

At this moment, Xie Tang's hands were covered with blood, and he hugged Han Jingting tightly, saying: "I really didn't kill anyone. I don't know how Taifu Zhao died. I was anxious at that time, so I called someone to call the imperial doctor. The door is locked."

The prince hurried to check on Zhao Taifu's injuries, and after calling for someone, he found that Zhao Taifu was hopeless and dead.

And he soon heard the sound of the palace people knocking on the door, and he was surprised to find that the door of the room was locked, and there was only himself and a dead person in the room.

In this way, anyone who heard about this matter would think that Xie Tang was the murderer. Besides him, who else could kill Taifu Zhao?

The doors and windows of the room were locked, no one could come in and go out, and the windows and doors were not damaged, so it was impossible for someone to throw a throwing knife from outside to kill Mr. Zhao.

When the palace people broke through the door and rushed in, they saw the prince covered in blood and Taifu Zhao who was already dead.

The palace people immediately turned pale with fright, and the timid ones couldn't help screaming, and then someone whispered: "The prince... the prince killed someone!"

This incident was a bit weird, Xie Tang felt his head was in a daze, he said that he didn't kill anyone, those palace people didn't believe it at all.

Xie Tang was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.

The palace was suddenly in chaos, Han Jingting was late, and was going to attend the banquet, but heard the exclamation of the palace people, and seemed to have vaguely heard what they said about the prince, so he went here to see the situation.

Han Jingting arrived earlier than Xie Changying and Li Luo, but he didn't know exactly what happened, he only saw Xie Tang covered in blood.

When Xie Tang saw Han Jingting for the first time, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since Master is here, he should not have to worry.

But soon, Xie Tang panicked again, what if the master doesn't believe him and thinks he killed someone?

Xie Tang's mind was in chaos, he was afraid and wronged, he couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

After all, he is still young and has been well protected. He has never seen such a scene.

Han Jingting hugged Xie Tang, patted him on the back lightly, and said, "Tang'er, Master believes in you, don't cry..."

"Master..." Xie Tang didn't seem to be able to say anything else, but just repeated: "I really didn't kill anyone, really!"

Xie Tang insisted that he did not kill anyone, but in the eyes of others, this is simply a matter of irrefutable evidence.

After hearing the narrations of many palace people, the emperor was a little uncertain at the moment, and did not speak for a while.

The queen mother was anxious, and said: "This matter is very strange! Taifu Zhao and the prince have always had a good relationship, why did the prince kill him? Besides, you have all heard the prince calling the imperial doctor. If the prince wanted to kill him, why did he call the imperial doctor?" Woolen cloth?"

What the queen mother said is reasonable, but these are just one-sided words.

Taifu Zhao's daughter has been crying so much that she almost fainted several times.

She also ignored the etiquette, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are going to make decisions for my father! Your Majesty..."

Xie Di rolled his eyes twice, stepped forward and said, "Father, although the son also feels that the crown prince has been wronged, but... but the evidence is convincing! No one can kill Zhao Taifu except the prince. Zhao Taifu is the court official. The minister who bears the cauldron is also the eldest son of the great general, if he can't give the Zhao family an explanation, I'm afraid..."

The reason why the Queen Mother valued Zhao's daughter was naturally impossible because she only valued her appearance.This Zhao family has a high position and power in the court, and a bell is ringing at the door.Taifu Zhao is the prince's master, and Taifu Zhao's father is a general in the dynasty.Although the general is old now and has not gone to the border for a long time, but he was known as the ever-victorious general when he was young, and he has made great military exploits.

There is no need for Xie Di to speak up when Master Zhao died in the palace. This matter must be explained to the Zhao family, otherwise, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of veteran and loyal ministers?How to convince the public after being called the emperor?

"Besides..." Xie Di said again: "Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people, let alone His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Right now, it can be said that there is "conclusive evidence". Everyone thinks that the prince Xie Tang killed the murderer, and Xie Di is here to stir up trouble. It seems that he does not want Xie Tang to get away.

Under the eyes of everyone, the emperor was angry in his heart, but he had no other way, and said: "What you said makes sense, first put the prince under house arrest in the palace."

"This..." Xie Di hesitated, and said, "I'm under house arrest in the palace, my father... if the people listen to it, I'm afraid..."

Xie Di's intention to suppress Xie Tang was too obvious, how could the emperor not see it, and gave him a hard look.

But Xie Di thought in his heart that this time is a great opportunity, if he can't completely suppress Xie Tang, he will still miss the crown prince in the future!

"His Majesty!"

A minister knelt down and said, "What the second prince said is right, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law! His Royal Highness killed Zhao Taifu. There are many witnesses, and the evidence is convincing. Right now, the prince is only under house arrest in the palace. I'm afraid...it's probably inappropriate!"

Several ministers of Xie Di's faction next to him immediately knelt down and asked the emperor to handle the matter fairly.

The emperor's face was flushed with anger, and he scolded: "Then put the prince in prison first, and leave this matter to Dali Temple to deal with, and I must check it out!"

The good autumn banquet hadn't started yet, because the prince's murder was completely messed up.The Empress Dowager was not in the mood to hold any more autumn banquets, so she was helped back to the bedroom to rest.

It's already dark now, the gate of the palace has been closed long ago, many ladies and ministers who came to the banquet gathered in the palace, they can't leave the palace right now, so they have to go to the palace where they are staying for a while, and leave early tomorrow morning palace.

When things like the prince's murder happened, no one dared to discuss it publicly, but they still couldn't help discussing it in a low voice.

Xie Tang was imprisoned, Li Luo watched Xie Tang being taken away, he still had something to ask Xie Tang, but there was nothing he could do.

Xie Changying patted Li Luo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry."

Li Luo said: "This matter is too strange, there are problems everywhere, I have to ask the prince again tomorrow."

Xie Changying said: "Li Wuzheng will make arrangements for the crown prince to be sent to Dali Temple. He should not be treated harshly. You can rest assured. I will accompany you out of the palace to Dali Temple at dawn tomorrow. I will ask you clearly at that time." yes."

Li Luo nodded and said, "That's the only way to go."

"Let's go." Xie Changying held Li Luo's hand and said, "I'll take you to rest first, don't think too much."

Li Luo followed Xie Changying to the palace where he stayed overnight, pondering along the way, and was rarely silent.

Xie Changying knew that Li Luo and Xie Tang had a good relationship, now that Xie Tang encountered such a strange thing, Li Luo was inevitably anxious.

To be honest, Xie Changying was also a little anxious.He was not really at odds with Xie Tang, he did not have the idea of ​​life and death, he also understood Xie Tang, Xie Tang could not kill someone for no reason, he must have been wronged.

The palace where they stayed overnight was nearby, and they walked to the gate of the main hall, only to find someone waiting there, alone, wearing a heavy cloak.

Right now Li Luo was already very upset, it was rare that he didn't have a hippie smile on his face.When you are in a bad mood and see someone you don't like, your mood will naturally be even worse.

And the person that people don't like is none other than Prince Li.

Prince Li was standing at the entrance of the main hall where Xie Changying was staying, and he didn't look like he happened to be passing by, but he was here specially waiting for Xie Changying.

Before meeting Prince Li, Li Luo thought he was a mysterious and unpredictable person.After meeting Prince Li, Li Luo completely changed his mind.What is mysterious and unpredictable, it is clearly a dog skin plaster!

Prince Li had his eye on Xie Changying. For his status, he seemed to want to form an alliance with Xie Changying. He flattered Xie Changying several times, and even offered himself as a pillow.

Seeing Prince Li frowned, Xie Changying just pretended not to notice, holding Li Luo's hand as he was about to enter the hall, she couldn't even look sideways.

"My lord stay here."

Prince Li stepped forward and blocked their way.

Prince Li coughed, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips, and he said: "Is the prince worried? Actually, I can help the prince relieve his worries. I don't know if the prince is interested in listening to me."

Xie Changying didn't speak, nor did he look at him, rather indifferent.

Prince Li kicked the iron board, coughed a few times, his complexion changed a little, and he simply said: "Then let me get straight to the point with the prince. The prince was wronged."

His opening made Lérodo look at him.

Logically speaking, Prince Li should not be too concerned about whether the little prince Xie Tang was wronged or not.Xie Tang and Prince Li had no intersection at all, nor did they have any friendship.Prince Li is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, nor does he have much compassion.

Prince Li smiled faintly and said: "Of course I know, because I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, I happened to pass by outside the hall and saw all the truth."

"Did you see it?" Li Luo couldn't hold back, and said, "What did you see?"

Prince Li said: "Although I saw it, I only told the prince alone, and would not tell anyone else. If the prince wants to know what the truth is like, he must agree to my conditions..."

"No promise!"

Xie Changying was about to speak contemptuously, but before he could speak, Li Luo had already firmly spoken for him.

Prince Li looked at Li Luo and said, "Whether the prince agrees or not, it's not your turn to speak."

"He has the final say." Xie Changying said suddenly.

Xie Changying said flatly: "Whatever Li Luo says about me matters."

Prince Li's face turned ugly, and he said: "What? Li Luo, aren't you a friend of the prince? The prince is innocent, and I have seen the truth. Don't you want to prove the prince's innocence? I can testify to the prince. Now the prince He is the prince who was locked in a big jail, has he been wronged like this all his life? Has he suffered like this? He must be very sad now? Only I... Only I can testify to him and prove his innocence!"

"You can't." Li Luo said.

"What did you say?" Prince Li said, "Do you think I'm lying to you? I saw with my own eyes what happened. Except for me, no one else can testify to the prince. You can think clearly. Only I will help the prince only if you agree to my request, otherwise..."

"It turns out that Prince Li is such a naive person." Li Luo smiled and said, "I don't know if you really saw the truth, but I know that you just want to use this as a threat to stay with the prince. By my side, take the prince as a backer, so that I can linger a little longer in this capital in the future, right?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Prince Li coughed violently, because the cough was too severe, he couldn't answer Li Luo's words.

Li Luo said: "Prince Li is weak and suffers from asthma, it's better not to be overjoyed and sad, but to be too excited."

"You...cough cough cough—" Prince Li must have been annoyed by Li Luo, he covered his mouth and was speechless.

Li Luo said again: "Even if you saw the truth, saw the real culprit, and knew that the crown prince was wronged, so what? Don't you still want to use this as a threat to let the prince be your backer?"

Prince Li's heart trembled, he squinted his eyes to look at Li Luo.

Li Luo is really too transparent, as if Prince Li has been seen through by him.

Li Luo said: "You are just a proton in Daxie. Although you have the title of prince, you also know that no one regards you as a prince. They all look down on you and treat you as a prisoner. A person like you, even if you stand Come out, and be a witness to prove the prince's innocence, who will believe it? Will the emperor believe it? Will the second prince believe it? Will the Zhao family give up?"

Li Luo was already good-looking, but it was rare for him to be serious, and he felt extraordinarily cold.His words were extremely harsh, like an ice pick, piercing into Prince Li's heart.

Li Luo said: "So... is it that Prince Li thinks we are too naive, or is it that you are too naive, Prince Li? You actually used such a thing to blackmail the prince."

Prince Li coughed and trembled all over.

Li Luo said, "Besides, I think I'm smart enough. The crown prince is innocent. I will definitely find the murderer to prove his innocence. I don't need your help. So you can leave now. If you don't, I'm really afraid to tell the truth. If something is too ugly, it will kill you in an instant."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Prince Li to leave, he took Xie Changying's hand, turned around and entered the hall, and closed the hall door with a "bang".

The hall hadn't been lit yet, and it was pitch black.Li Luo slammed into the palace door with force, feeling that his injured arm was too hard, and it hurt from the shock, so he couldn't help hissing.

However, Xie Changying who was next to him didn't greet him immediately, instead he let out a "huh" laugh.

Li Luo almost frowned, and said, "Why are you laughing, you laugh so happily."

Xie Changying hugged Li Luo carefully, not touching his wound, and said, "I'm laughing... You seem to be jealous, and the jealousy is very strong."

indeed……

Li Luo felt that he was so jealous that he was about to explode, and he was the kind who could light rockets.

Originally, the matter of the little prince Xie Tang was very difficult, which made Li Luo very worried.And at this tense moment, Prince Li actually came over to "rob someone", wanting to take the opportunity to win over Xie Changying, and stayed by Xie Changying's side all the time.

Li Luo was narrow-minded, he had been displeased with Prince Li for a long time, and broke out when he couldn't hold back for a while, and severely taunted Prince Li.

"Don't be angry." Xie Changying lowered her head and kissed Li Luo's forehead, then kissed him on the lips again, saying, "It's not worth it."

"That's right, that's right," Li Luo said angrily, "Yes, it's not worth making me angry. Next time you mess around again, I'll pretend I didn't see it."

"I've been wronged." Xie Changying said, "I've been devoted to you wholeheartedly, and I've never messed with anyone."

Xie Changying's voice was so gentle that Li Luoguang felt his spine go numb when he heard it.But now is not the time to be dizzy, he quickly pushed Xie Changying twice and said, "Don't disturb my thoughts."

"Still thinking about the prince?" Xie Changying asked.

Li Luo nodded.

Xie Changying said: "The situation is really weird. There are only Xie Tang and Taifu Zhao in the room. The room is still locked. It is impossible for anyone to go in and out. Then how did the murderer kill Taifu Zhao? It seems that the murderer deliberately set the blame on him. Prince's."

Xie Changying lit the lamp in the hall, Li Luo sat down, and then said: "Actually, it's just a 'secret room', although it looks weird, there isn't much suspense, but everyone's thinking is too complicated. "

Upon hearing this, Xie Changying said, "Do you know what's going on?"

Li Luo nodded and said: "I know the prince is not the murderer, he didn't kill Taifu Zhao, and I also know why the room is a secret room. But I don't know who the real murderer is. If this is the case, the prince's suspicion cannot be cleared. Others I won't believe it, especially the second prince."

Xie Changying nodded. It was well known that the second prince, Xie Di and Xie Tang, were extremely at odds.

Because of their quarrel, Xie Di wanted to join forces with Xie Changying several times to fight against the little prince Xie Tang.

But Xie Changying never thought about such things as fighting for power and position, and he didn't even bother to participate in party disputes. He had always kept himself clean and did not associate with Xie Di.

Xie Changying said, "Then what happened?"

Xie Changying paused, and said uncertainly, "Teacher Zhao, didn't he commit suicide?"

Li Luo shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"Then..." Xie Changying couldn't think of it. After all, in such an environment, there were only Taifu Zhao and Xie Tang. It wasn't Xie Tang who killed people, nor Taifu Zhao who committed suicide. How could there be a third situation.

"It's actually quite simple." Li Luo said, "When I entered the hall, I carefully observed the situation in the hall."

Zhao Taifu died at the door, and the little prince Xie Tang said that he fell asleep at the table in the inner hall.

Li Luo said: "The biggest problem is that Taifu Zhao got a knife in his chest. The knife was cut open and stuck into his chest, and blood flowed all over the ground. This seems normal, but it is also very abnormal. In addition to the blood on the ground, Zhao Taifu fell at the door, why wasn't the door panel splashed with blood?"

When he asked this, Xie Changying narrowed his eyes, it was true.There was indeed some blood on the door panel at that time, but it was not splashed, and the amount of blood on the door panel was too small.

Xie Changying fought on the battlefield all the year round, he had killed people, he had seen many dead people and blood, so after thinking about it carefully, he also noticed something was wrong.

Li Luo said again: "The blood on the door was not sprayed, it should have been rubbed. At that time, the palace people broke in from the outside, and the door latch did fall down, so when they broke in, the door bolt was broken into pieces. Several sections fell into the bloody water."

Li Luo looked at it when he went in, and the most bloodstained place on the door was near the latch, and according to his guess, the bloodstain on the latch should actually be the most.It's a pity that the door latch broke and fell into a pool of blood. It was already soaked in blood, so there was no way to check it.

"What do you mean?" Xie Changying didn't understand what Li Luo said.

Li Luo said: "It's very simple. The secret room is just a coincidence. Mr. Zhao must have been stabbed first, and then quickly entered the hall while clutching his wound. In order to avoid the murderer, he turned around and closed the door, dropping the latch."

In this way, a perfect secret room was formed without any flaws.The door panel will not be spattered with blood, but will only be stained with some of Zhao Taifu's injured blood.

When Taifu Zhao dropped the bolt, there would definitely be a lot of blood on the bolt, but the bolt happened to be destroyed, so there was no way to use it as evidence.

Xie Changying suddenly realized, but she couldn't be happy, and said: "In this way, the prince may be in danger."

The one who can prove that the prince did not kill anyone is actually Taifu Zhao, after all, he is the one who made the secret room.However, Taifu Zhao was the victim again, he was already dead, and it was almost impossible to prove his death. Instead, he turned the little prince Xie Tang into a murderer.

Li Luo became distressed, and said: "That's what happened. Although I can see how Taifu Zhao died, there is no evidence for this. Who will believe it? I must think that I am trying to clear the suspicion for the little prince. , deliberately messing around. If I say that, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to clear the prince's suspicion in the future."

Most importantly, there is a second prince watching.He didn't care if the little prince Xie Tang killed someone or not, anyway, he just wanted to use this opportunity to put the little prince to death.Li Luo helped the little prince, and the second prince Xie Di would definitely target him everywhere.

Xie Changying said: "Be careful with that second prince."

Although Xie Di is younger than Xie Tang, Xie Di is a slippery person, and his methods are not clean on weekdays, but he is not as open and upright as Xie Tang.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Didn't you protect me?"

Xie Changying also smiled, and said, "I will definitely protect you and not let anyone hurt you."

It was already late today, because of Taifu Zhao's death, everyone had been tossing for a long time, so Xie Changying urged Li Luo to rest early.

Xie Changying said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, you should go to bed early."

Li Luo said, "It's all scabbed over, it's fine."

The wound on his right arm has scabbed over, but Xie Changying still protects him all the time, Li Luo feels that his confinement should be over for a month, but Xie Changying always won't let him do it, won't let him do it That, it seems that the scabs have all fallen off before they can recover their free body.

Li Luo didn't sleep too late, but he didn't sleep well all night. Because he was always thinking about the case, he had strange dreams at night and felt quite tired.

When he woke up, the sky was slightly bright, and Xie Changying had already got up and got dressed.

Seeing him open his eyes, Xie Changying said, "Are you awake? The palace gate will open soon, we can leave the palace."

"Wake up." Li Luo turned over and sat up, patted his cheek, and said: "Go! Go out of the palace and go to Dali Temple to see the little prince."

To avoid having long nights and dreams, Li Luo felt that it would be better to investigate this matter as soon as possible.The cell in Dali Temple is not luxurious, and the young prince Xie Tang is delicate and expensive, so I am afraid he is not used to living in it.

Li Luo quickly got dressed, followed Xie Changying to the carriage and horse department, and then left the palace in a carriage, heading for Dali Temple.

Li Wuzheng knew they would come early in the morning, and he was already looking forward to it at the gate of Dali Temple, and Cao Zhishui was standing beside him.

Cao Zhishui was transferred to Dali Temple, and now he looks even more handsome in his official clothes than in the clothes of a policeman.
