Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over when she saw the officials remonstrating.

But I can't defeat these veterans.

If Yan Xiliang and others were really killed by a pillar of Cining Palace, the government and the public would be in turmoil.

Empress Dowager Zhang knew very well what consequences would come from being dissociated from her ministers.

"It's late at night."

"You all should go back and rest."

"The Aijia will consider it carefully."

Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Queen Mother Zhang could only take a step back and spoke.

She used to think that as long as the King of Qin came to Beijing to supervise the country, Concubine Rong's case would be revealed, and Prince Guo Tianyi's crime would be confirmed.

That way, no one will object.

However, now that Guo Tianyi has arrived directly in the capital, all the ministers know about her issuing a secret edict, so naturally they will not agree.

With the current situation, we can only take a step back and talk about it.

"I'll take my leave."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and exited the Cining Palace one by one.

With these words from the Queen Mother, they felt relieved.

the other side.

After Guo Tianyi arrived in the capital and set up camp.

The surviving imperial guards in the capital all left the city successfully.

Qiu Yu, Niu Qianhu, Wu Qianhu and other responsible persons all met Guo Tianyi.

At this moment, everyone gathered together, and Guo Tianyi was asking about the whole story of Concubine Rong's case.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Tell me the detailed story of my mother, concubine, and uncle before they were imprisoned."

Guo Tianyi looked at the crowd with a sullen face.

He was in a very bad mood.

If possible, he would like to rush directly into the Forbidden City now.

However, he cannot do this.

"Your Highness, I was a guest at a good friend's house that night, and Concubine Rong followed His Highness's instructions and personally delivered medicine to His Majesty in order to ease the relationship with His Majesty."

"But after His Majesty drank the medicine, he immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma, causing chaos in the palace."

"Subsequently, our Jinyiwei brothers in the capital were attacked by unknown persons."

"And these people are extremely well-informed. They all came to kill their families. Many brothers were killed in their sleep. It's so frustrating..."

Qiu Yu, as an important civil servant under his command, was the first to speak.

"Qiu Yu, I know everything you said." Guo Tianyi frowned and said, "It has been several days since the incident happened. Apart from these, haven't you found any other information?"

"Your Highness, if I can't find out the rest of the information, wouldn't I have the nerve to come see Your Highness now?" Qiu Yu smiled slightly, and then said to Niu Qianhu, "Niu Qianhu, bring this person here."

"promise!"

Niu Qianhu, a tall and powerful man, quickly left the camp and pulled up a man in black with bruises all over his body.

It seems that this person has spent several days in Jinyiwei's prison.

And there are traces of execution all over his body.

I can't even see his appearance clearly.

"Kill me."

"If you don't kill me, I will look down on you..."

Even though the man in black was lying on the ground like a dead dog, his mouth was still very hard.

"Your Highness, this person is one of the assassins. He was captured alive by the Jin Yiwei brothers. The other assassins disappeared without a trace after dawn..."

"It seems that this person is so kind, but he actually chose to stay in the brothel."

"If it weren't for this, I still wouldn't be able to catch him."

Niu Qianhu watched Guo Tianyi report the cause and effect.

"Jingzhou accent?"

"Could he be from King Jin?"

Guo Tianyi listened to this person's accent and thought to himself.

However, it is impossible for the King of Jin to know the detailed information of Jin Yiwei in the capital.

And this kind of person looks like a charlatan at first glance, and he has not let go until now, obviously he will not explain anything.

This was the same as the last time he was assassinated.

The assassins I encountered last time were also such people.

Da Feng Rangers became popular, some were just and some were evil.

Some knights robbed the rich and gave to the poor, while others used the money specifically to eliminate disasters.

The person in front of me belongs to the latter.

And it's tough.

"never mind."

"Kill him."

Guo Tianyi thought for a moment and waved his hand.

Jin Yiwei's torture instruments and punishments were all designed by himself.

But it is much more powerful than the Xingbu Zongren Mansion.

If you don't confess under such torture, further interrogations will be futile.

"Hahaha."

"Eighteen years later, I am a good man again."

The man in black seems to be extremely happy. He has lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife and has committed many sins.

Moreover, now that his hand tendons and hamstrings have been severed, he is already a disabled person.

Living is more uncomfortable than dying.

Not long after, the head of the man in black had fallen to the ground.

"Are there any other clues?" Guo Tianyi calmed down and continued looking at everyone.

"Your Highness, there is another clue." Wu Qianhu said, "I and others fought bloody battle that night and killed many assassins, but the strange thing is that these assassins and the bodies of the dead Jin Yiwei have disappeared."

"then..."

"I will disguise myself in the next few days to investigate the whereabouts of the body."

"The emperor has paid off. I found traces of soil being turned over and buried in a forest on the outskirts of the capital."

"As expected, there are not only the corpses of the dead Jin Yiwei colleagues buried there, but also the corpses of the assassins who were killed."

In order to prevent the situation from escalating.

The person behind the scenes would naturally choose to bury the body.

But because they were in a hurry, they could only choose here.

If you are smart and have enough time, burning the body is the best option.

Unfortunately, it was this step that allowed Wu Qianhu and others to discover important clues on the assassin's body.

"oh?"

"What clue?"

Guo Tianyi's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that training these royal guards was not in vain.

The ability to resolve cases is still good.

In ancient times, although it was not a purely legal society, evidence still came first.

Wu Qianhu cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, there is an assassin who seems to be the little leader of this team. He has a letter with Ye Sanniang. I then investigated according to the information in the letter, and all pointed to one person...

"

Guo Tianyi's pupils shrank and he said, "Who?"

Wu Qianhu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a low voice, "Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xie Zhida!"
