From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 310

Sometimes you don't need to be perfect to make a game, just enough is enough.

The method of burying the female corpse at the bottom of the lake in Longshuai's mansion was too rough and inferior, and one could see through it that it was a frame-up.

But this method is very effective. There are hundreds of craftsmen in Longshuai Mansion. They are the best tool people, and they can spread the news all over the capital in an instant.

The case of the Flower Picking Demon had too much impact, and the common people urgently needed an explanation. As a harem eunuch and a rank-[-] flying dragon general, if Long Chen was the murderer, the news would be extremely explosive.

Therefore, although the pond burial method is inferior, the effect is excellent.

After the court was over, Long Chen and Di Luoxi returned to the West Palace, and Su Yourong said something had happened.

The maids in the palace were all whispering, with terrified expressions on their faces.

"what happened?"

Di Luoxi felt that something big was about to happen, and Long Chen also had a bad feeling in his heart.

Su Yourong was too anxious, hurriedly leading the way, and didn't have time to answer.

When we arrived at the courtyard of Qiuxing Palace, many court ladies were chattering and watching.

Xiang Ning walked up and down, yelling at the maids not to speak nonsense, and no one was allowed to leave Qiuxing Palace.

The little black dog in Xiao'e's arms was barking, and Xiao Daiyu's face turned green with anxiety.

When everyone saw Di Luoxi and Long Chen coming in, they gave way one after another.

"what happened?"

Long Chen asked.

Xiao'e came over and said: "Princess, my lord, we were playing with Xiao Hei in the yard just now, who knew... Xiao Hei dug out three corpses from the soil, they are the missing maids of Nangong."

Di Luoxi's face changed suddenly, and she walked towards the pit next to the courtyard wall.

The snow and soil were dug open by the little black dog, revealing three female corpses underneath.

"When the little black dog was playing with them, he dug out a silk scarf from the soil, and Xiao'e found someone underneath, so I led someone to dig up the snow and soil on the surface, and found the bodies of the three of them."

"Why are the maids of Nangong in Qiuxing Hall? What's going on here?"

Su Yourong's face was livid, she was not stupid, she knew that this was intentionally framing Long Chen.

"It's unreasonable to be so blatant, do you think this princess dare not kill people!"

Di Luoxi roared furiously.

She knew better that this was a frame for Long Chen.

Long Chen was extremely calm at this time, and said: "Calm down, don't fall into the trap, notify the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and let them investigate together."

Emperor Luoxi objected: "The body is in the Qiuxing Hall, we can't argue with it, and we can't report it to the officials."

"Here are all our own people. They burned the corpses and blocked the news. No one knows."

Di Luoxi wanted to destroy the corpse so as not to cause more trouble.

Long Chen shook his head and said: "If they can bury the corpse here without anyone noticing, they will definitely be able to get the news out. Reporting to the police is the best choice."

Di Luoxi gradually calmed down, nodded, and said, "Yourong, report to the police!"

Su Yourong immediately sent someone out of the palace to report to the officials.

Soon, Wu Wenjing, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Shen Tianhe, Minister of Apprehension, Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Li Junjun, the censor of the Zuoqian Capital, brought people to Qiuxing Hall.

This is Emperor Luoxi's bedroom. The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate tried their best to bring female servants into the palace to avoid any inconvenience.

Except for the client, all the maids of the West Palace avoided.

"Princess, General Dragon."

Everyone came first to pay their respects.

Di Luoxi's face was ugly, and she said coldly: "How dare you bury the corpse in the West Palace, such a daring thief, you must find out the corpse and tear it into pieces!"

Officials of the two ministries only claim to be right.

Long Chen said lightly: "Everyone handle the case according to the law, don't take my identity into consideration, the truth is the most important thing."

Everyone bowed, and then began to excavate the body.

There were three corpses in total, namely the missing court ladies Cuizhu and Ruyan from Nangong.

"His Royal Highness, General Long, we will bring the body back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for post-mortem examination. Xiao'e and Miss Daiyu in the palace need to accompany us."

Bai Anning spoke very politely.

Xiao'e and Xiao Daiyu were afraid and didn't want to go with Bai Anning.

Long Chen comforted: "It's okay, I just made a record in the past, it has nothing to do with you."

Bai Anning brought the body and people back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the autopsy will begin immediately.

...

Nangong.

Shangguan Xue hurried into Di Xingwan's room and said, "Princess, the three of them, Cuizhu and Ruyan, have found it!"

Di Xingwan was taken aback and asked, "Where is it?"

Shangguan Xue said out of breath, "In the Qiuxing Hall of the West Palace!"

Di Xingwan frowned, and scolded: "Sao Tiaozi, you actually cheated on Long Chengen, catch me and execute him!"

She thought that the palace maid had sneaked to Long Chen's place to hang out.

Shangguan Xue shook her head and said, "No, princess, they are all dead. The bodies were just dug out from the ground of Qiuxing Hall. The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have gone."

Di Xingwan was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Dead? In Qiuxing Hall? Could it be..."

Originally, she thought that Long Chen's murder was pure nonsense.

Now she thinks there might be something wrong.

"I'm going to see the queen mother!"

Di Xing got up late, and Shangguan Xue brought his coat.

After putting on his coat, Di Xingwan hesitated again.

Now only the body has been found, there is no explanation yet, and it is hard to say anything when it comes to the empress.

"hold on..."

Di Xingwan took off his coat and sat down again.

...

Fengming Palace.

Yingfeng hurried into the imperial study room, and reported: "My lord, the Qiuxing Palace where Long Chen is located has found the bodies of the missing maids from Nangong, and all three are there."

The empress jumped up against the case, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable! This flower-picking demon is too courageous, he actually put his hand into the palace!"

Yingfeng hastily bowed: "This humble minister is incompetent!"

The death of three court ladies in Nangong shows a problem, that is, the flower-picking demon has infiltrated the palace, and can kill people, bury corpses and plant them in the palace.

Yingfeng is in charge of the shadow guards and is in charge of the inner palace ban. If something like this happens, the responsibility rests with Yingfeng.

"Give me a thorough investigation of Nangong, especially Li Tianze!"

There is absolutely no problem with the West Palace, Long Chen is in charge of the West Factory, if the flower-picking demon can sneak into the West Palace, then Long Chen will be too bad.

Yingfeng went to do it immediately.

"Wan'er!"

Di Wan'er walked in quickly, and said: "Your Majesty."

The Empress said: "Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and wait, and report immediately if you have any news."

Di Wan'er immediately went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

...

It only took a few hours for the news of the discovery of the female corpse in the palace where Long Chen lived to spread throughout the capital.

The corpse of a woman was found in Longshuai Mansion and Qiuxing Palace just now, the crowd in the capital was furious, the people no longer discussed privately, but cursed publicly, some even started to gather and demonstrate.

Especially literati, they regard themselves as moral models, want to uphold justice for the common people, and began to gather together to write to the Empress, demanding that Long Chen be severely punished.

Those officials who were dismissed because of their attachment to Jing Tianlie, the remaining secret guards, and the secret sons of the Imperial City Division all took the opportunity to make waves. mouse.

...

Qiuxing Palace.

Long Chen closed the door, Feng He came in through the window.

"My lord, it's not good. Now the people in the capital are full of grievances, and they are all targeting you."

"The common people demolished Long Shuai's mansion, and the literati jointly wrote a letter to the saint, demanding his dismissal and thorough investigation."

Feng He smiled, not panicking at all.

Long Chen said: "I'm already like this, can you still laugh?"

Feng He said with a smile: "It's just a trick, nothing to worry about."

Long Chen asked: "Then tell me how to break the situation?"

Feng He spread his arms and said with a smile: "I don't know, but my lord must have a way."

Long Chen glanced at Feng He with speechless eyes, and said, "Is there any news from your side?"

Feng He said: "Since the incident happened, I have been staring at Li Tianze, but he has been in the back office room of the Criminal Ministry recently, accompanied by Wu Wenjing, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and other officials. "

To commit a crime, there must be time to commit the crime, and Li Tianze has sufficient proof of his alibi.

Long Chen asked: "Is it possible to remotely control it?"

Feng He said: "I don't know about this. I asked the brothers in Xichang to thoroughly investigate suspicious people in the capital, but nothing was found."

That's strange, there is no suspicious person?

"Could it be... not Li Tianze?"

Long Chen felt that he had thought wrong at the beginning, the murderer was not Li Tianze at all, but someone else.

To be honest, Long Chen has a prejudice against Li Tianze, and prejudice can affect a person's judgment.

Maybe Li Tianze is really fine.

Feng He scratched his head and said, "This case is too weird. I can't figure it out anyway, so I can only rely on my lord."

Long Chen said: "When the autopsy report of the three court ladies comes out, you bring me all the materials, and I'll see if I can find anything."

Feng He agreed and went out from the window immediately.

...

Nangong.

Li Tianze entered his courtyard, and a pretty court lady walked back to the room with a parrot cage smiling.

"where did you go?"

The pretty court lady held the birdcage and said with a smile: "Go and play with Yeliu and the others."

Li Tianze kindly reminded: "Now the wind is tight, don't walk around, be careful to meet bad people."

The pretty maid ignored it and went into the room by herself.

Li Tianze sighed slightly and wanted to follow in.

But a shadow flashed behind him, and it was behind him in an instant.
