At this time.

When the prince heard that Ye Jinlian had been rescued, he said anxiously: "Father, when Miss Ye comes back, she will definitely prove that my son has nothing to do with the murder of Ye Mansion!"

He finally breathed a sigh of relief!

As long as everyone doesn't keep an eye on his private army in the mountains of Yangzhou!

Even if Ye Jinlian comes back, there is no evidence to prove that he destroyed the entire Ye family!

"Report..."

The spies from the Imperial City Department rushed over: "Your Majesty, Miss Ye Jinlian has left the Western Mountain and entered the official road. She is only ten miles away from the west gate of the imperial capital. She is rushing back at full speed under the escort of Huangzhou's personal guards!"

"Tell the Huangzhou camp guards to protect the people for me!"

"yes!"

The spies from the Imperial City Department rushed away.

At this time.

Emperor Xia looked at Prince Xia Bao who was busy wiping away his cold sweat, with a look of disappointment on his face and said nothing!

However, his expression fell in the eyes of the courtiers in the room, and it seemed that he said everything!

The princeling’s heart sank!

I feel bad!

They had also seen this expression on Emperor Xia's face before the previous two princes were deposed.

The new prince is in danger!

to be honest!

Emperor Xia was well aware of the fact that Prince Xia Bao was raising private soldiers in Yangzhou, but since no one was involved, he pretended not to know!

To be honest, he is looking forward to the performance of the Yangzhou private army!

He is looking forward to Prince Xia Bao’s surprise!

However, the surprise did not come, but the stupidity came first!

The prince who could not bear to mess up his big plan was not worthy of his expectations!

At this moment, Emperor Xia had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Now, the refugees from Yangzhou filed a complaint, and the collection of taxes and money was implicated in the prince's raising of a private army. Together with a "magical" anonymous letter, this matter was put on the bright side. He couldn't help but

It doesn’t work!

If it is confirmed that the prince is raising a private army in Yangzhou, according to the laws of the Great Xia Empire, the prince will be charged with treason!

That Xia Bao is the deposed third prince of the Great Xia Empire!

However, if the prince Xia Bao is deposed, who will check and balance Xiao Jiu who has just entered the court?

Emperor Xia's imperial mentality forced him to think about this issue!

then.

He put aside the matter of the prince raising a private army for the time being, and was prepared to wait and see what the situation would be like!

Emperor Xia thought about it and changed the subject: "Xiaojiu, how do you know Ye Jinlian is not dead? And you escaped from the imperial capital?"

"When did your Huangzhou Guards Camp leave the imperial capital to rescue people?"

Seeing that Emperor Xia no longer asked about the private army in Yangzhou, Xia Tian smiled calmly, probably guessing what Emperor Xia was thinking!

He said calmly: "Father, Emperor Mingjian!"

"The body of the dead maid in the backyard of Ye Mansion died because she was pretending to be Miss Ye Jinlian. This means that she discovered the danger and the substitute misled the killer!"

"My son did not find Miss Ye's body in Ye Mansion, which means that she escaped from Ye Mansion."

Xia Tian added: "At least, she did not die in Ye Mansion!"

"When I entered the Ye Mansion, within the entire imperial capital, the Imperial City Department, the Imperial City Patrol Camp, the Royal Guard Camp of the Huangzhou Palace, and the Criminal Department were all looking for people and hunting down the murderer throughout the city. If Miss Ye was in the city, she would definitely

Will come out and seek asylum!”

"However, she did not appear, and her body was not found in the city!"

"So, I judged at that time that if Miss Ye was still alive, she must have escaped from the imperial capital!"

"At that time, after finding clues about the culprit in Ye Mansion, Erchen led his people to track down the East Palace and set up a posture to besiege the East Palace and catch the murderer!"

"At the same time, we sealed off the entire city and put on a show of not giving up if we couldn't find anyone. We turned the imperial capital into a huge prison for the murderers and spread the pressure into the hearts of the murderers!"

"I believe that the thieves hiding in the East Palace will have a guilty conscience and will take risks out of the city out of fear that they will not be able to hide their desperation."

"So, the boy deliberately confronted the prince, increased the pressure, and passed it on to the murderers in the East Palace!"

"At the same time, when I besieged the Prince's Mansion, I also left a way out for the murderers!"

At this time, the whole city was silent, listening to Xia Tian speculate on the case!

"Sure enough, when the father came, I received a report from the spies. Several officers and soldiers dressed as the Imperial City Defense Battalion came out from the side door of the East Palace. They took the prince's token along the way and left the west gate of the Imperial Capital unimpeded. They entered the Western Mountain of the Imperial Capital.

."

Emperor Xia's eyes flashed with excitement, and he guessed: "So, while I was here to listen to the imperial decree, your Huangzhou guards followed these thugs pretending to be soldiers from the imperial capital and went into the Western Mountains to search for someone?"

"Father is wise!"

"If I am not mistaken, these murderers are leaving the city at this time, firstly to clear their relationship with the East Palace and to clear their relationship with the prince!"

"The second is to go out of the city to strengthen our strength and hunt down Miss Ye!"

"Sure enough, my Huangzhou bodyguard followed the clues and rescued Miss Ye, and also captured the murderer of Ye Mansion's murder case!"

After hearing this, Emperor Xia's face was filled with admiration: "Xiao Jiu, you are indeed my Qilin'er!"

"No wonder, you dare to set up a military order in front of me to solve the case in one day... You have my style!"

"Hehehe..."

Li Jian flattered him at the right time: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes. You are the true dragon emperor, and the ninth prince is also extraordinary!"

"This is called, a tiger father has no dog son!"

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia laughed and scolded: "You old guy, besides being annoying, your words still make me happy."

Having said this.

The smile on Emperor Xia's face faded: "Xiaojiu, is that murderer really from the East Palace?"

"yes!"

Xia Tian replied seriously: "I dare not deceive my father. He indeed slipped out of the city from the East Palace."

The prince finally couldn't help but jumped and said: "Brother Ninth Prince, Gu has nothing to do with the Ye family's murder case, don't try to bite me!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it has nothing to do with them, and I believe it."

The prince's face relaxed: "Really?"

"real!"

Xia Tian said seriously: "In addition to being the prince, you are also the royal brother of my younger brother. We are brothers. Blood is thicker than water. I will definitely trust you!"

The prince was very moved when he heard this!

However, Xia Tian changed the subject: "But, the murderer who started the bloodbath of the Ye family has been staying in the East Palace. He used the East Palace Golden Token to leave the city... That is your personal token. It usually stays with you when you see the prince.

Jin Ling is like meeting the prince himself. If the royal brother does not have a reasonable explanation for this matter, the world will not believe it!"

Prince: "..."

Xia Tian asked seriously: "Brother Emperor, how did those murderers end up in your East Palace?"

"Why is your token on them?

"Are you really not related?"

The prince really can’t answer!

Damn it, you are so hypocritical!

Xia Xia continued to ask: "Furthermore, the emperor's brother imposed arbitrary taxes on the Yangzhou fiefdom, ruining the lives of countless Yangzhou people. These people are now filing a petition here. Does the emperor's brother want to give them an explanation?"

Finally, Xia Tuqiong saw him and brought up a topic that neither Emperor Xia nor the prince wanted to mention: "Moreover, the tax money collected by the emperor was not handed over, but was used to support the private army in the mountains. Isn't this matter right?

Do you also need to give an explanation to your father and the imperial court?"

At this time, this series of questions made two words flash in the minds of Emperor Xia and all the courtiers: "Death!"

The prince cried!

Shi Laojiu, this is about killing people and killing people!

He has no answer!
