Chapter 1008 Mystery

The murder of the second son of the King of Liao in a restaurant became the biggest news in the capital in mid-to-late October. It has been making a fuss for a long time, but the truth is still unclear.

Zhao Li, the second son of King Liao, was highly suspected of murder, but he seemed to have no need to kill anyone. He had a bad attitude in the restaurant that day. According to his later confession, it was because he met a liar and found out that he had been defrauded of money.

He returned to the place where he met the liar to look for clues. All his men were sent out to find the liar, so they didn't wait around him. If he really killed someone in anger, he should have killed the liar. There was no need to fight against a clerk.

.

The key is that when he came to the restaurant, his appearance was so terrifying. Someone in the teahouse opposite saw him and took a few more glances at him. They knew he was the prince's son and paid special attention to him for a while. These people

I saw him sticking his head out of the window of the private room on the second floor to look around. Looking at his appearance at that time, it didn't look like he had killed someone. Moreover, after he retreated back, the restaurant soon became noisy, saying that he had killed someone.

Killing someone. This is consistent with Zhao Gang's confession.

However, the statements made by several guests in the private room diagonally opposite were unfavorable to Zhao Gang. The guests and waiters downstairs also said that no one had been to the second floor during this period. Could it be that they were just walking up and down the walls?

Did the Jiangyang robber kill someone? What grudge does such a person have against a little boy? He still insists on killing someone when there are people in front of him. Aren't you afraid that Zhao Li will turn around and see him clearly?

Shuntian Prefecture also has people who are capable of solving crimes, and raised a doubt, that is, the movement on the street, the so-called small vendors catching thieves and so on, could they be deliberately causing trouble to divert everyone's attention? Because everyone is paying attention to the street.

There was a lot of noise on the street, so no one noticed that the boy was killed? At least, it was because Zhao Li was attracted by the noise that he stood by the window for a long time, without even knowing that someone behind him was killed.

The people from Shuntian Prefecture went to inquire who had caught the thief that day? Where did they take the thief afterwards? However, they could not find out no matter how hard they searched, it was said that the vendors were not from the capital, but came from outside the city to set up stalls.

The seller, after catching the thief, took him to a quiet place and beat him up, got the money back, and left without going to the Yamen or detaining the thief. As for the little thief himself, he had suffered a loss once, so he had to run away.

Are you gone? Are you still waiting for the Yamen officials to catch you?

Shuntian Mansion felt that this matter was suspicious, but could a young man in a restaurant have the right to alarm so many people and put on a show just to take his life?

This clue was broken, and the official had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper and the guests in the restaurant again and again, and this inquiry raised another question.

Since it was not dinner time that day, apart from Zhao Li, there were only guests in that private room on the entire second floor. There were about four or five people, all young and strong men, all businessmen from out of town. It is said that they were made.

They made a lot of money from a business and came here to celebrate with a drink. Their testimony was unfavorable to Zhao Li, but they themselves may not be without suspicion. Because there were so many people on the second floor at that time, if Zhao Li hadn't killed the people downstairs, there would be

If no one comes forward, the murderer may be one of them.

In particular, when the officials of Shuntian Prefecture found the inn where these people stayed according to the residence they told them that day, and found that they had left, their suspicions deepened. If there was no problem, why would they run away?

However, things didn't seem to be that simple, because the inn's waiter said that they were staying well and didn't say they were leaving. One night, two people suddenly came. They looked like stewards and stewards of a wealthy family.

The attendant, one of the attendants, when talking to the steward, mentioned someone from the palace. The two went to talk to those few people, and then they checked out and left overnight.

Maybe the Liao Palace knew that these testimonies were harmful to their own son, so they used some means, either inducement or coercion, to get them away? In this case, Zhao Li seemed to be very suspicious?

That's not all. The guards and followers that Zhao Li sent to find the swindler inquired about the person who seemed to be Lan Dafu. They found the house that Lan Dafu rented nearby. They broke in and found that the landlord's family was dead in the house.

, and they were all freshly exhaled. Immediately afterwards, neighbors bumped into them and started shouting. The guards shouted

They said that they did not kill anyone, but the neighbors thought they were suspicious because they had weapons on them. If the weapons on them were not stained with blood and the size did not match the wounds on the deceased, they would have been turned away immediately.

After all, the capital is not Liaodong, and the face of the Liao Palace is not that useful.

This case was merged with Zhao Li's restaurant murder case. Shuntian Mansion detained the guards and traced the whereabouts of "Lan Dafu" and others, but no useful clues could be found, and he died.

There was some evidence in the landlord's house, proving that the Liao Prince's Mansion was not that clean, and that it was more like the people from the Liao Prince's Mansion were killing people to silence him. The guards had a hard time defending their excuses, and all of them felt that they had died unjustly.

Zhao Li was sent to the prison of the Zongren Mansion again. This time, the emperor issued an edict to reprimand him, but it was not as polite as the last time. With such a stain, he even cleared his name and proved his innocence.

It is very difficult to be innocent, let alone fight for the throne of the heir. Being able to get rid of the murder charge and leave the prison of the clan's mansion safely is already blessed by the ancestors.

The palace of Prince Liao was filled with sorrow and mist. After this happened, the imperial edict did not urge the Prince of Liao and his family to leave the capital and return to the vassal territory, but the Prince of Liao and his wife did not breathe a sigh of relief at all. The step-concubine of the Prince of Liao cried and made noises countless times.

It doesn't matter if her husband is asked to plead with the emperor, even if it means kneeling and kowtowing in front of the emperor and being a lowly person. Zhao Li is her lifeblood. If she dies unjustly this time, who will she rely on in the future?!

The King of Liao sat on his seat with an ugly face, letting her cry and scold her without making a move. Things were not that simple! Their son was plotted by the Beirong people! But they could not tell the truth.

, I said it, the whole palace will be unlucky. If I don’t say it, I can still think of another way to prove that the second son

The innocence of the master and servant. At this time, they cannot panic! As long as the Liao Prince's palace is still there, are they still worried that their son will not be protected? It's just a few civilians who died, and it's not really the person his son killed.

As for asking my son to pay with his life, even if I suffer a little loss now, what can't be done when the news is over?

The eldest son, Zhao Shuo, had gone back to his home a long time ago, claiming that he was frightened by seeing the dead person and asked the doctor to take medicine at home. Naturally, he could not be expected to ask for any favors or do anything.

The King of Liao didn't expect his eldest son to be of any help. As long as Zhao Shuo didn't add insult to injury and cause trouble for him, it would be fine. On the other hand, the younger son Zhao Yan, although lame, has an extreme temper and has always been at odds with his elder brother.

, but when something happened to his brother, he could still help him run errands and inquire about various news. It is obvious that he has grown up and become sensible!

"Father finally knows my benefits now, and you don't have to count on Zhao Li anymore!" Zhao Yan said to Zhao Mo while drinking hot milk tea comfortably in the flower hall of Zhao Mo's new home, "Although

The mother-in-law is still unable to turn around and only cries about Zhao Lang. But because I go out with her to help run errands, she treats me much more kindly. She even talks about Zhao Lang from time to time and urges me to think of ways to send things to Zhao Lang.

, take care of the clan's mansion, don't let him suffer - what are you talking about! That's not the Shuntian mansion prison, it's the clan clan's prison! The people in that prison are all clan nobles, and they can't be compared with the prison cells of government offices outside.

Asking Zhao Yan to suffer? At most, he is not as comfortable as at home. He still has a bed and three meals a day. Compared with me dragging my injured leg around, it is much more enjoyable. Why does the mother-in-law only care about him? I don’t know.

Do you feel sorry for me?"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "The princess is now without a master, and the third uncle still expects her to know clearly who is a reliable son? Don't argue with her. The prince's regard is the most important. Both the third uncle and the second uncle are

The prince and the princess have given birth, and now the second uncle's future is ruined. Even if he wins the lawsuit, his reputation is so bad that he will not be able to inherit the title of eldest son. When the third uncle's leg injury is cured, you will still have to support the Liao Prince's palace.

"

Zhao Yan felt extremely comfortable after hearing this, and he also understood the meaning and became modest: "Don't say that, you and I are still sitting on the throne of the heir apparent."

Zhao Mo sighed: "My father...he hid when things happened. What else can we expect from him now?"

This is a good thing. Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously and said to Zhao Mo: "Forget it, you have a hard life. It's not the first day that I know who your father is, so there is no need to be too sad. Don't worry, my third uncle will remember you.

Well, from now on the Prince of Liao's palace will have to rely on our uncle and nephew to support it."

Zhao Yan spent half a day at Zhao Mo's house to entertain himself. He figured that the time was almost up before he stood up and left. Today he made an appointment with a clan cousin who was working in the clan's mansion to inquire about Zhao Li's news, so that it would be easier to communicate with him after returning home.

Of course he didn't want Zhao Li to come back from the prison of Zongren Mansion so smoothly, but it would be bad if Zhao Li's case was implicated in Prince Liao's Mansion, so he still had to help out a little and make a small effort to show his kindness.

He looked like he was busy all day long for his brother so that he could show it to his parents.

After seeing Zhao Yan off, Zhao Mo had a meal at Shi Shiran's house, and also enjoyed the two dishes sent from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, and then went to the Liao Prince's Mansion with a bag of things.

When the King of Liao saw him coming, he forced a smile. Although this grandson was not close to him, but something happened in the palace now, he still helped to intercede in front of the emperor, delayed the case, and asked an acquaintance in the clan to

Zhao Li was taken care of in the prison, which was very helpful. The eldest son could not be counted on, so the grandson still had to win over him.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Mo arrived, he was shocked.

"What is this?" King Liao stared at Zhao Mo's unopened bag in shock. Inside was a stack of paper, "What is this?!"

"The Shuntian Mansion Yamen searched the house where Lan Dafu and his group lived." Zhao Mo looked at the King of Liao and said, "This is the copy I had someone get. It was originally presented to the emperor, and it was all from the Prince of Liao's Mansion.

Smuggling of military supplies and weapons, private trade with Beirong, embezzlement of military expenses, and evidence of killing good people and taking merit. I don’t know whether it is true or false, but...the key is not whether the evidence is true or false, but whether the emperor thinks it is true or false.

Fake. Once these things are made public and are linked to the second uncle's case, the prince thinks... what will happen to our Liao Palace?"

The old face of the King of Liao was already pale.

After eating two oranges, I actually got a stomachache...
