The personal attendants of Changshan County King, one Zhang Shan and one Ding Xian, are all former subordinates who have followed Changshan County King for more than ten years.Fearing that they would collude with each other, they were detained in two places at the beginning.Gao Chun and the others went to the place where Zhang Shan was imprisoned first.His description is a little haggard, but his condition is much better than that of ordinary prisoners. Here, no one dares to lynch them.

"The master is dead, why are you still alive?" Gao Chun stood in front of the prison door, straightened his clothes, and asked slowly.

As the entourage of Prince Changshan, Zhang Shan recognized this princess who had not returned to the royal family for a long time.Hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head away, pursed his lips and remained silent.The relics of Changshan County King are not suitable no matter who they are handed over to.Hearing that the three kings were to interrogate him, despair had already arisen in his heart.

"Is it the relic of Changshan County King?" God Gao Luo looked forward and raised his eyebrows.

The environment in the cell is not very good, and there are often mice in the damp straw pile.As soon as Gao Chun saw the black shadow, she stretched out her hand to cover God Gao Luo's eyes. She looked at Zhang Shan indifferently, and said, "Is the emperor wronged? The mastermind who assassinated the princess on the road at that time was someone else. People?" Seeing that Zhang Shan's expression was loose, she said persuasively, "Father ordered this princess to investigate this matter secretly, and you also know that it was other royal brothers who came here. If they were, it would be up to you whether you could send your things out It's an unknown."

When Zhang Shan heard it, a flash of hope flashed in his eyes.

As a Ting Wei, Wei Jinglong naturally followed behind Gao Chun.Knowing that the emperor sent her to investigate secretly, she was surprised at first, and then felt that the princess was a suitable candidate. She was not very close to anyone in the royal family, so she could judge impartially.Wei Jinglong didn't want to hear about those secrets, but unfortunately he couldn't leave at all.

"That's all." Gao Chun pretended to sigh, and she said again, "This princess is here to investigate the assassination of the emperor's brother. You can tell me the details, and did the assassin leave any clues?"

Zhang Shan was silent for a while, then said shyly, "We met the assassins in the wild woods outside the city. At that time, they came with dozens of people. We couldn't resist. We fought for a while, and there were heavy casualties. In the end, only me and Ding Xian and the two escort the body of the master back to Beijing."

"The king of Changshan County guards the imperial mausoleum and was ordered not to enter the capital. Why do you disobey the imperial decree?" Gao Luoshen asked.

Zhang Shan immediately shut his mouth and did not speak.

"Where did the assassin come from? Is there anything left?" Gao Chun asked.

"I don't know their identities, but there is a dart." Zhang Shan took out the evidence left by the assassin from the shoe.Wei Jinglong, who was watching from the side, didn't dare to ask Princess Fengcheng to pick it up, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hold the evidence on a tray.

"There is a very small character 'Ling' on it. There are sawdust in this dart, which should have been shot from a tree trunk." The man whispered.

Zhang Shan nodded, recalling the scene at that time, a trace of pain appeared on his face.

Gao Chun turned his head and said, "Go and see Ding Xian."

Ding Xian was imprisoned in the cell on the other side, and his condition was similar to that of Zhang Shan.

Hearing the movement outside, Ding Xian raised his head slowly.Meet the high-purity and sharp eyesight.He suddenly felt a pinprick, quickly lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "See the princess."

"You and Zhang Shan, only one person is enough." Gao Chun said coldly, "Who took a step back?"

Ding Xian's complexion turned pale when he heard this, his lips trembled, and he didn't say a word after a long time.Sending a letter to the master is indeed enough for one person.But he was also afraid of death.He should fight to the death for his master, but he didn't.He and Zhang Shan left first, and only returned to the forest when everything subsided.

"But he didn't flee directly, but returned to Beijing. It can be seen that it is a bit bloody." Gao Luoshen chuckled.

"What did Zhang Shan say?" Ding Xian's voice was hoarse.

"He said—" Gao Luoshen answered, she draped Gao Chun's shoulders, and half of her was hanging on her body, looking quite casual.She pretended to be a trick on purpose, and seeing the eagerness on Ding Xian's face, she said slowly, "He said it all. For example, there are other people who instigated the bandits, for example, Sima Xian's friendship with the king of Changshan County, for example, Hanzhong The affairs of the county are dominated by King Qin..."

Not to mention Zhang Shan, even Wei Jinglong's expression changed drastically.

"He said it all—" Ding Xian raised his head and smiled sadly, he knelt on the ground suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, please be the king of the county!"

Gao Chun looked at Ding Xian condescendingly, and said slowly: "This is natural."

Knowing that Zhang Shan had told everything, he could only pin his hopes on Princess Fengcheng.With trembling hands, he handed over the blood book of Prince Changshan, and hissed, "Please hand it over to Your Majesty!"

Gao Chun and Gao Luoshen got the information they wanted from Ding Xian, and then left the cell.

Wei Jinglong was sweating, he had never seen such a simple solution, and besides, this princess knew too much, right?At the beginning, I knew that there were grievances on Changshan County King, but I didn't expect there to be so many.Is it really possible to reverse the case?King Changshan was demoted to be the king of the county, maybe it was the meaning of the emperor, right?

"Wei Tingwei." Gao Chun's clear voice sounded.

Wei Jinglong trembled, he straightened his back, and said loudly: "The minister is here."

Gao Chun smiled at him, stroked the blue and white porcelain cup in her hand, and said slowly: "I hope you will keep the matter of my princess coming here a secret. As for what you saw and heard in the prison, please forget it for now. This princess will handle it."

Wei Jinglong felt a sense of horror when he saw that smiling face.He shivered, and hurriedly said: "I understand!" Princess Fengcheng said so, so naturally he could only rot everything in his stomach.

Back in the mansion, Gao Luoshen couldn't hold back his doubts.

She sat in Gao Chun's arms, put her hands on her shoulders, stared at her, and asked, "Do you want to hand over the blood book of Changshan County King to the Holy One? Do you want to drag King Qin into the water?"

"Not yet." Gao Chun shook her head, and she brought out the blood letter and darts.The blood book is nothing more than various prayers and self-pity, which is touching, but unfortunately it doesn't have any effect.Putting the things away, she smiled slowly, "King Qin and King Zhao should send people to investigate. If I guess correctly, they will unite and put the crime on Yin You. After all, there is only Yin You He hangs out all day long, and he comes from the common people, so he can make friends with people of all kinds."

Gao Luoshen nodded, indicating that he understood.After thinking for a while, she asked again: "Whose dart is this? What does 'Ling' mean?"

"Maybe it belongs to an assassin organization." Gao Chun said.She doesn't know much about these, so she can only ask Ah Da and Ah Er to investigate. After all, they are more familiar with Jianghu.

Ah Da Ah Er went to check, and there was news soon.This dart came from Ling Tian Pavilion, an assassin organization in Jianghu. As long as they have money, they will take the job.In the past, he secretly assassinated several court ministers, causing the emperor to be furious.But they are very cunning, and it is difficult to find a base.Relying on his own relationship, Ah Da learned some things from Ling Tian Pavilion, for example, they had contact with members of the Xiao family.

"So, the Xiao family did this?" Gao Luoshen frowned, looked at Gao Chundao, "Do you want to tell the Holy One about this?"

Gao Chun shook her head, she really wanted to eradicate the power of the Xiao family, but not now, she still needs the help of the Xiao family. "We can only cover up the Xiao family, just pretend that we don't know about it, and people from Lingtian Pavilion can't catch it anyway." Gao Chun said.

"By the way, the people of King Qin and King Zhao have also moved recently." Gao Luoshen said, "I heard that Zhang Shan and Ding Xian are not on good terms."

In fact, this is also expected. Zhang Shan and Ding Xian are members of Changshan County King. They hate King Qin and King Zhao to the bone. How could they tell them the news?Besides, the two princes didn't want to know the truth, they just wanted Zhang Shan and Ding Xian to sign the charges they had already written.

"Let them go." Gao Chun chuckled lightly, restraining the sharpness in his eyes.Yin Chunxi and the others didn't know that they had also investigated this matter. They were afraid that the emperor would also be suspicious, so they would let themselves get involved, right?It's a good thing that those two messed up.

"The Xiao family—" Gao Luoshen asked again.

Gao Chun shook his head and said, "Don't bother, and don't let him know."

In Tingwei Temple.

Zhang Shan and Ding Xian were interrogated, but their mouths were like clamshells, and they still refused to say a word.Xie Yulin was kind, but King Zhao's staff directly punished him.

Wei Jinglong frowned, and he said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. These two are the personal followers of the Prince of Changshan County, and they have not committed any heinous crimes!"

"The protection of the Lord is weak, shouldn't it be?" The white-faced middle-aged man gave Wei Jinglong a sad look, and said, "Wei Tingwei, please stay out of the way. The matter has been handed over to our prince."

Wei Jinglong paused when he heard the words, he also didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne.Sighing lightly, he waved his hand and made his subordinates retreat.Before he turned to leave, he said loudly, "You two, please deal with it fairly."

But why would that person pay attention to him?

Not long after, news spread that Zhang Shan and Ding Xian committed suicide in fear of crime.However, King Qin and King Zhao reported that the matter has already taken shape, and the real culprit will be found out in the future.

Half a month later, news came out that the truth was revealed.

King Qin and King Zhao entered the palace together. As for the other entrusted prince, Yin You, nothing happened.

in the Royal Garden.

Emperor Tianyan and Gao Jun were playing chess, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then slowly said: "I plan to become empress, what do you think?" written.The post has been vacant for more than ten years, and it is indeed time for Jiaofangdian to have a mistress.

Is this node going to be established?Could it be that the saint has an idea?Gao Jun frowned, and the chess piece in his hand landed on the board with a "pop".After a long time, he said: "This is His Majesty's family business."

Emperor Tianyan smiled, looked at Gao Jun and said, "I plan to make Concubine Wei the empress, you will support me, won't you?"

Gao Jun raised his eyes, and replied in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is the leader!"

"I knew..." Emperor Tianyan stroked his chin with a gentle smile.If Gao Jun is willing, he doesn't have to worry about the isolation of the East Palace, and he doesn't have to worry about losing the prince's blood.

Suddenly, the chief eunuch came quickly with small steps, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, Gao Jun also listened.

"Your Majesty, King Qin and King Zhao asked to see each other, saying that they have found the murderer."
