Chapter 93 Qin Heng's Death, Autopsy
Shen Yi looked into Qin Su's eyes, "Okay."
It was agreed at this time that Qin Su was also reluctant to give up, so he simply moved the memorial from the Imperial Study Room back to Zhengyang Palace, and accompanied Shen Yi while correcting it.
Shen Yi was practicing calligraphy at the side, feeling quiet and leisurely for a moment.
"Your Highness," Chi Shui hurried over from outside, "the body of the Third Prince has been found."
Qin Su paused his hand while correcting the memorial, leaving a short ink mark on the memorial.
It's one thing to have a prediction in your heart, but it's another thing to actually make it happen like now.
After the silence, Qin Su dipped the ink brush in his hand again and continued to make corrections, "Hand over to Dali Temple for thorough investigation."
"Yes."
Chishui led the order. Although Wei Zikang is not here, the entire Dali Temple has basically belonged to Qin Su. If something should be found out, it can be dealt with.
The pen in Shen Yi's hand obviously also stopped. She leaned on the couch, and her eyes fell on Qin Su, who had a straight back and an expressionless face.
Brothers and sisters, life and death, this is the royal family, this is Qin Su's destiny, they are like desperadoes who gamble with each other with their lives, winning a thousand miles, losing their bones, and now, Qin Su sat down The dealer's seat.
-
Lan Ying went at the right time, and when he arrived at Yunzhai Tower, Yu Hao was among them, listening to Lan Ying's explanation of his visit, and even agreed to meet at Yunzhai Tower in the afternoon.
Lan Ying returned to the palace and returned to the palace. Hearing this, Qin Su took another look at Shen Yi who was sitting quietly at the side playing chess with him. She seemed to turn a deaf ear to all this and wandered away.
"Anping, I can see your master tonight, do you want to leave tonight or..."
"Leave tonight."
Shen Yi didn't listen to the second option at all.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Qin Su's eyes, and he nodded in response, "Chishui, let's make arrangements."
Shen Yi remained silent, and after Qin Su finished approving the memorial, it was already time for dinner, and when the meal was delivered, there was not a single sound in the entire Zhengyang Palace, it was silent and oppressive.
After dinner, Shen Yi sat on the couch, flipping through a book in his hand, Qin Su sat on the other side, looking at Shen Yi quietly, "Is the bell I gave you still there?"
Shen Yi flicked the book, looked up at Qin Su, "What?"
Facing Shen Yi's blank gaze, Qin Su pinched his brows, couldn't help feeling that he was delusional, and shook his head, "It's nothing, you probably don't remember."
Hearing what Qin Su said, Shen Yi didn't continue to ask, but just lowered his head again and continued to look at the book in his hand.
The two of them just sat there until late at night when Chi Shui came in from the door, "Your Highness, is it almost time?"
What should come will still come, Qin Su's heart tightened, and he nodded, "Anping, let's go?"
Shen Yi also put down the book, stood up, and followed behind Qin Su, but this time she didn't pull Qin Su's sleeve.
A carriage left the palace silently, crossed the silent avenue, and stopped in a narrow alley.
This is the back door of the Yunzhai Building. Qin Su looked up at the Yunzhai Building, which was still lit, and followed the waiter to the third floor with Shen Yi.
In the box on the third floor, Yu Hao was wearing a dark blue wide-sleeved robe, and had been waiting for a long time.
"Master."
Shen Yi entered the door and saw Yu Kong, so he bypassed Qin Su and walked to Yu Kong first.
"Good apprentice," Yu Hao glanced at Shen Yi, was stunned for a moment, then asked Shen Yi to sit down beside her, and then looked at Qin Su who was still standing, "Why don't you sit down, little girl?"
"No, Auntie." Qin Su knew that he didn't have much time and couldn't delay, so he forced himself to take his eyes off Shen Yi, "Please take good care of Anping, Auntie. Come and pick Anping back."
"My apprentice, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Yu Hong came down, looked at Qin Su's back as he walked away quickly, and sighed leisurely, young man.
Hearing the sound of the carriage leaving, Shen Yi, who never looked back at Qin Su from the beginning to the end, stood up, ran to the window, and watched the carriage disappear into the dark night.
"Remember? Are you willing to go?"
Yu Hong knew from the first time Shen Yi came in that Shen Yi's eyes were different from the current Shen Yi's eyes, when Shen Yi was suffering from soul loss, Shen Yi's eyes were full of clarity, as if transparent and flawless The old jade is not stained with dust, but the current Shen Yi has a lot of things in his eyes.
Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Shen Yi turned around and walked to Yu Hong's side, "Master..."
"Look, why are you so wronged? If you don't want to leave, it's still too late to tell the little girl."
At any rate, he accepted the title of master and apprentice, and seeing Shen Yi's appearance, Yu Hong couldn't bear it.
"No," Shen Yi shook his head, "If I stay in the capital, it will only add to the chaos. It's better to go farther, and it can be regarded as a great help to His Highness. I just hate myself for being so useless. I only want to add to the chaos, but I can't share my worries."
Shen Yi could hear what Qin Su and Mrs. Chen said clearly. Although they were all for Shen Yi's safety, in Shen Yi's heart, it was hard to avoid. Anyone can help Qin Su , only myself, and Qin Su has to worry about himself.
"You child, worship me as your teacher." Yu Hong raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Shen Yi's face, and sighed helplessly in his heart, "It's not a good thing to be too humble."
Shen Yi didn't understand the second part of Yu Kong's sentence, but only heard the first part of Yu Kong's sentence, without any hesitation, he lifted up the hem of his skirt neatly, knelt down in front of Yu Kong, "Master is here, I'm here to be worshiped by my disciple. "
After the three prostrations, they offered tea and accepted the gift, which was considered a success, and the two have been justifiable mentors and apprentices since then.
"It's not suitable to stay in Beijing for a long time. You and I need to leave the city overnight."
Yu Kong helped Shen Yi get up.
"Everything is subject to Master's arrangement."
Now that this decision has been made, there is no room for turning back, it doesn't make any difference whether to leave early or late, Shen Yi naturally has nothing to say.
When Yu Hong and Shen Yi left, Qin Su had already returned to Zhengyang Palace.
After dealing with the remaining government affairs, Qin Su raised his head, "How is Dali Temple going?"
Hearing Qin Su's voice, Chishui immediately opened his sleepy eyelids, "Dali Temple has started an overnight inspection, and there should be news tomorrow."
"Second Brother, what did you say?"
Qin Su knew that it was time to go to bed, but she couldn't sleep, she just wanted to find something to do to keep herself busy.
"The person who sent news to the Second Prince was kicked back. The Second Prince said that he was not feeling well, so it is better for His Highness to make up his own mind."
Chishui carefully looked at Qin Su's face. She was actually not very clear about why her highness and the second prince were in trouble again, but it was not their subordinates' turn to worry about the matter between the masters.
"It seems that Second Brother will be angry for two more days."
Qin Su frowned, "Forget it, let's go to bed."
There was indeed nothing to deal with now, Qin Su looked at the drooping eyelids of Chishui and the others, and decided to let go of torturing them.
After washing and turning off the lights, Qin Su lay on the bed, but his eyes fell on the moonlight coming in from the window.
In one night, Shen Yi had already left the capital with Yu Kong, looking at the vast blue sky and endless fields, Shen Yi remembered to ask Yu Kong, "Master, where are we going?"
"The world is far and wide, where can't we go?"
Yu Hong frowned slightly, and squeezed Shen Yi's face with a smile, "Since you worship me as your teacher, I should teach you the first lesson, that is, you must not use your real name when you go out. You can choose a name you like, Zhang San Li Si Wang Wu Zhao Liu, anything is fine."
Shen Yi glanced out of the carriage window, "Wang Chen, Master, is it okay?"
"Wang Chen? This name is easy to remember. Cheng, it's all up to you. Remember in the future, you are not Shen Yi, nor Anping, but a businessman, a businessman who is only interested in profit."
Yu Hong nodded, not commenting on the name Shen Yi himself had chosen.
Shen Yi wanted to explain, but finally gave up, forget it, let Master be happy.
When Shen Yi and Yu Hong were walking on the official road from the capital, Qin Su had just left the early court when he saw something presented by Dali Temple in the imperial study.
"What are these?"
Looking at this pile of messy things, Qin Su covered her nose. She was very familiar with this smell, the smell of rot and death, but no matter how many times she smelled it, Qin Su couldn't get used to it.
"These were all found on and near the corpse of His Highness the Third Prince. Judging from these things, it may be related to... the Eighth Prince."
Chishui explained to Qin Su beside him.
Rubbing his temples, Qin Su looked at the golden ring finger engraved with the name of the old eight Qin Jun among the pile of things, "Again?"
Chi Shui lowered his head. The people behind the scene were too much. The first time he assassinated Qin Su, he used such a low-handed method to blame the third prince. Prince.
If it is said that at the beginning, Qin Su thought of scheming, but now, Qin Su found that it was his scheming that made the people behind the scenes bolder, and even wanted to use Qin Su as his knife. Move, let Qin Su get rid of these princes one by one.
"How did this person manage to find Brother San Huang earlier than everyone else?"
It's one thing for Qin Su to want to play tricks, but she doesn't have the hobby of being a knife to others. She can solve them one by one by herself, but she doesn't want to be led by the nose, so now, she wants to find out who is behind the scenes. .
As soon as Qin Su's words came out, Chishui also frowned and began to think.
Since the defection of the third prince, Qin Miao had indeed sent his pursuers to pursue them immediately, but they had lost them. Since then, even if they sent people to search in a blanket manner, they still found nothing.
Then when Qin Su sent people to search, where was the third prince?
"Follow me to the Dali Temple, I want to see the body of the Third Emperor Brother with my own eyes."
There are many doubts, if Qin Su doesn't want to sit still, he can only take the first step and find out the people behind the scenes.
"Your Highness! It's better not to look, Your Highness. When the Third Prince was found, he died in a miserable state..."
Chishui hurriedly stopped Qin Su. Although the relationship between Qin Su and the emperor brothers was incompatible, and now they all wanted to put each other to death, but no matter what, they were still the biological siblings of the same father. Growing up together since childhood, it would be too cruel for Qin Su to see the miserable condition of the third prince with his own eyes.
"I haven't seen anything in this palace?"
Qin Su glanced at Chishui indifferently, and sneered, "People are killed indirectly by this palace, if someone hadn't intervened in it, the person who killed him with his own hands was all this palace, so what can I do just by looking at it? "
Ignoring Chishui's dissuasion, Qin Su led the people directly to Dali Temple.
Now it's summer, the sun is scorching hot, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the road. Even if they pass by in a hurry, they all walk in shady places.
When Qin Su arrived at Dali Temple in the carriage, he had just explained his purpose when he saw the embarrassment on Dali Temple's face.
"Speak straight."
Qin Su didn't like Moji the most. Seeing Dali Siqing's hesitation, he spoke in a cold voice.
"Your Highness is a woman, so it is not suitable to enter the morgue, and the weather is so hot now, it will inevitably have a pungent smell..."
The Minister of Dali Temple knew that Qin Su had been on the battlefield and seen dead people, but this was different from the battlefield. If something happened to Qin Su, they really couldn't bear the crime.
Qin Su was too lazy to speak, glanced at Dali Siqing, and walked in directly.
Seeing Qin Su's insistence on this, Dali Siqing didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he could only lead him over.
In the cold morgue, under a white cloth is the third prince Qin Heng.
After all, Qin Heng is also a prince, so he didn't dare to move, but after someone came to see it, he parked it here, waiting for Qin Su's order, so that he could be buried in the ground as soon as possible.
Although Chishui couldn't bear it, he still removed the white cloth before Qin Su reached out.
Looking at this familiar face, Qin Su was stunned for a moment, then without much delay, he stretched out his hand and tore off the white cloth completely, looking at the wound on Qin Heng's body.
There were many stab wounds on Qin Heng's body. It was obvious that he had fought fiercely before he died. Qin Su looked over and saw that the last fatal wound was on his neck, where the bones were deep and the flesh was flying. It was really shocking, except Qin Shuwai, everyone involuntarily rolled their eyes away, and the more timid ones ran out first.
Qin Su bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to scratch the scar, "Why is this bone black?"
As soon as Qin Su's words fell, everyone immediately gathered around. Sure enough, at the position of Qin Heng's larynx, the bones that were originally white had now turned black.
"This is the appearance of poisoning."
The experienced foreman next to him came up to look at it and opened his mouth.
Qin Su withdrew his hand, "Open Brother Sanhuang's stomach, I want to see what he ate before he died."
As soon as Qin Su's words came out, the audience was silent, only the old butcher understood Qin Su's meaning and stepped forward to make a move.
After coming out of the morgue, even Chishui, who had been with Qin Su all day and had seen everything, couldn't help but look ugly.
"Your Highness, was Your Highness the Third Prince poisoned first? Was he killed again?"
Chi Shui forced himself to forget the horrible scene just now.
"Brother Sanhuang trusts this person very much. When he was hunted down, he was still in the mood to drink and eat with this person. As a result, the man was poisoned in the wine. After being poisoned, Brother Sanhuang immediately discovered the problem and drew his sword in anger , It's just a pity that when the poisonous effect takes effect, there is only room for it to be cut."
Qin Su said all this calmly, then washed his hands in the basin, "Go back to the palace."
On the carriage back to the palace, Qin Su sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, suppressing the churning pain in his stomach.
Everyone knows that a person's hair and skin, received by their parents, dare not damage them, especially after death, the living must not disrespect the bones, let alone Qin Heng is still the prince.
Now that Emperor Yong Le is not in the capital, no one dares to order the Third Prince to be disembowelled for an autopsy, that's why he dared to be so bold, after poisoning Qin Heng, he was hacked like this, pretending to be ambushed The look of assassination.
Then at the assassination site, he dropped things related to the Eighth Prince Qin Jun, and finally...
Qin Su stopped thinking, and turned to thinking about the wound on Qin Heng's neck. It was not an ordinary weapon. An ordinary sword could not cut so deep.
"Crescent Knife, Concubine Shu..."
Qin Su opened his eyes, maybe this matter is not completely unrelated to the Eighth Prince.
Concubine Shu came from a prominent family, and there was a special crescent knife that was famous all over the world. After Concubine Shu married into the palace, she also brought this crescent knife. Qin Su had seen it before, and it was kept by the eighth prince. The guards of the Japanese army used this crescent knife as their weapon.
Someone poisoned the third prince, Qin Heng, and then notified the people of the eighth prince, and the eighth prince, a no-brainer, was fooled.
That makes sense.
The only thing that the people behind the scenes missed was that Concubine De would die too. Without Concubine De's obstruction, Qin Su would directly order an autopsy, which made his conspiracy invisible.
A figure gradually appeared in Qin Su's mind, slowly clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, Qin Su tried his best to contain the restless anger in his heart.
"Go to Xuanyin Palace."
Qin Su didn't have time to wait for Qin Miao to get angry. The net on the opposite side had already been laid, and they just noticed it now.
After returning to the palace, Qin Su went directly to Xuanyin Palace, Qin Miao's people tried to stop him, but found that they couldn't stop him, so he had to let Qin Su break in.
As soon as Qin Su broke in, he saw Qin Miao lying on the couch very comfortably, while Qin Yu was sitting on the side with a mournful face.
"What are you doing here?"
Qin Su and Qin Yu spoke at the same time, and then they each looked at each other with distaste, and stopped talking.
"Second Brother, I have something to tell you."
Qin Su didn't want to tell Qin Yu about this, the main reason was that Qin Yu's brain was not reliable, and he had to deal with other princes all day long, if he was accidentally tricked by others, he would be in trouble. big.
The most important point is that there is no need for Qin Yu to get involved in these matters. Once this matter is over, he will return to his Nanxiang and be the king of Nanxiang at his own pace. The less he knows, the better.
Qin Miao heard Qin Su's words, glanced at Qin Yu and said, "Three days, you are allowed to return to Nanxiang in three days, how about it?"
When Qin Yu heard Qin Miao's words, he immediately jumped up, "Second Emperor Brother, you are so kind! It's a deal!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Qin Yu was no longer an eyesore here, and left Xuanyin Palace in a hop, running extremely fast.
Qin Su glanced at Qin Yu's cheerful back, "He came here to tell you that he wants to go back to Nanxiang?"
"Otherwise? The darkness of the capital frightened him a lot, and the wine in the capital almost killed him."
Qin Miao sat up, Qin Yu and Qin Su couldn't see each other, so he was the one who was always in the middle, and Qin Su didn't know it was normal.
Now even if Qin Su knows about it, she doesn't care, she only cares about one thing, "Will it really affect the plan if he goes back in three days?"
"No," Qin Miao had already thought about this, "When the time comes, let Qin Yu say that he wants to go back to Nanxiang to transfer troops. When he returns to Nanxiang, who can control him?"
Now that Qin Miao had already made plans, Qin Su had nothing to worry about, so he simply told Qin Miao what he thought of today.
Speaking of Qin Heng's death, Qin Miao was also silent for a while, "This will be the norm in the future."
Everyone knows this fact, and Qin Su also knows it in his heart.
"What do you plan to do with Lao Ba?"
Qin Miao asked Qin Su again.
Judging from Qin Su's speculation, Lao Ba is not innocent, and even if Lao Ba is arrested now, he will not feel wronged.
"I don't want to follow the wishes of the people behind the scenes, that's why I came to discuss with Brother Two Huang."
Qin Su knew that last time it was Brother Sanhuang, this time it was Brother Eight Emperor, so who will it be next time?Being led away by the other party all the time, it can only be them who are passive in the end.
Qin Miao lowered his head and thought for a while, "Can you guess who is behind the scenes now?"
"It's hard to say, it can only be said to be a guess."
Qin Su also learned from Qin Miao, he would never make a judgment before he was 100% sure, once a person is self-righteous, no matter how obvious the conspiracy is, it will be difficult for him to detect it.
Qin Miao glanced at Qin Su appreciatively, "Since this is the case, how about this..."
Qin Miao whispered his thoughts in Qin Su's ear, Qin Su frowned slightly, and finally nodded in response.
In the afternoon of that day, the news of the third prince's absconding and death spread, and the matter was formally filed in Dali Temple, hoping to catch the murderer as soon as possible.
There was a lot of trouble about this matter, and the capital was panicked for a while.
Immediately after that, it was reported in the palace that the third prince's birth mother, the Concubine De, was unable to bear the stimulation, became insane, fell into the lake after hearing that her father and son had died, and followed the third prince to the west.
Qin Su also made enough gestures, invited several ministers into the palace, discussed the matter of the third prince and Concubine De, and ordered that the murderer who killed the third prince must be caught as soon as possible, and he would be broken into pieces to comfort De The concubine, mother and son are in the spirit of heaven.
I have to say that before Qin Su said these words, there were not a few people who guessed whether Qin Su killed the third prince in a fit of anger. After all, Qin Su's style was there before, and this time the third prince also attempted to assassinate Qin Su. It also caused Miss Shen to disappear.
But hearing Qin Su's oath, everyone's hearts were shaken again. Seeing that Qin Su didn't seem to be lying, if Qin Su was really the murderer, how dare she curse herself like this?
Everyone knew it well, and they all tried to persuade Qin Su with a few words.
Qin Su also took this opportunity to talk about the funeral of Empress De and the third prince.
Now that the summer is hot and the temperature is so high, if the bones are left like this, wouldn't they rot and stink?
"Although I know that the concubine De and the three emperor brothers can't rest in peace, but now I can only let them go to the ground for peace, what do you think?"
Qin Su's words are all about this, so it's impossible for someone to say no, you can't just leave him like this, right?
After the matter was settled, Qin Su asked everyone to go back first, leaving Qin Tianjian, Minister of Rites, Minister of Household and others to discuss the funeral of the two.
"Your Highness, this matter is very important, do you want to invite Your Majesty back?"
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites looked embarrassed, after all, this is a concubine, a prince, if such a big event happened, Emperor Yong Le must be in charge of the overall situation.
Qin Su's hand on his lap moved slightly, "Master Shang Shu is very right. I sent someone to report to my father. My father entrusted me with the important task of supervising the country. It is my dereliction of duty."
"Your Highness must not blame yourself. His Highness is not guilty of this matter. His Highness will fulfill his duties, and His Majesty will definitely see it."
Hearing Qin Su's self-reproach, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurriedly comforted him. After all, apart from this incident, Qin Su's other actions during his period of supervising the country were much better than that of Emperor Yongle.
The author has something to say:
