Chapter 1998 someone informs
Guan Zhuo stared at Zhao Xuan's back and was stunned. He didn't know why the eldest prince was limited to seven days like the third prince.
Guan Zhuo did not argue with Zhao Xuan. The third prince limited seven days, and the eldest prince also limited seven days. The same time and the same requirements, since there is already one, I don’t care about one more.
What's more, he already had some clues and might not be able to find the real murderer within seven days.
Guan Zhuo had already suspected the eldest prince and the third prince because of the information provided by Hou Chong. Now the eldest prince and the third prince are forced to close the case as soon as possible, so he naturally became even more suspicious of these two people.
In the information mentioned by Hou Chong, Xiao Shunzi mentioned in the eldest prince's mansion. Guan Zhuo wanted to stop Zhao Xuan and ask about it, but after thinking about it for a moment, he gave up. The eldest prince was the suspect. If he asked about this, he might be alarmed. If he wanted to investigate Xiao Shunzi, it would be best to investigate it secretly, otherwise, he would inevitably be subject to resistance from the eldest prince.
What's more, Guan Zhuo is preparing to investigate Doctor Liu first.
Thinking of this, Guan Zhuo stood up and left the Ministry of Justice and went to the Imperial Hospital.
However, Guan Zhuo forgot that his judiciary department was not a solid foundation, and there were many people with their own little thoughts.
Of course, this situation not only exists in the Ministry of Justice, but also in other yamen. Now the Yanfeng Kingdom is degenerating and decaying, which naturally gives birth to a group of officials who like to be tempted.
After Guan Zhuo left, officials from the Ministry of Justice also quietly left the Ministry of Justice, and more than one person left quietly.
Zhao Xuan sat in the carriage, extremely angry.
After finally letting Qi Kai delay it for a while, Guan Zhuo was very stubborn and refused to close the case, which made him feel uneasy.
However, he is just a prince now, while Guan Zhuo is the Minister of Justice. He has no right or right to remove Guan Zhuo from his official position. In addition, he found evidence of the third brother's fraud within seven days and ascended the throne and became emperor by himself, so he could be exempted from Guan Zhuo.
Zhao Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, was quite irritable.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly chased him from behind and said he wanted to see him.
"Who?" Zhao Xuan asked the eunuch who came to report.
"He didn't say his name, he just said he was from the Ministry of Justice." The eunuch replied: "Also, he lowered his head, as if he didn't want people to see him."
Zhao Xuan showed a sarcastic look on his face.
It is not far from the Ministry of Justice, and it is not close. Now it is daylight again. People who come think that no one will recognize their identity with their heads down? It is possible except that he has changed his clothes and covered his face.
However, from the other party's actions, Zhao Xuan also saw that the other party seemed to have something important to tell him, and this matter could not be known to too many people.
Zhao Xuan felt a little interested. He wanted someone to knock him away, but he changed his mind.
"Let him come and see me."
Soon, an official dressed in the Ministry of Justice was brought over. The other party lowered his head, as if he didn't want people to recognize his identity. Zhao Xuan was very funny when he saw such a hidden act.
In fact, the official of the Ministry of Justice did not want to come in such a hurry, so he naturally wanted to change his clothes and come back after pretending.
However, when he changed his clothes and made a disguise, Zhao Xuan must have left and returned to the palace. He was just a small official of the Ministry of Justice. It was not easy to see the eldest prince living in the palace, and it could even be said to be impossible.
And he was unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he came in a hurry.
"Greetings to His Highness the Great Prince." The visitor whispered, as if he didn't even dare to speak too loudly.
"What's the matter with me?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"Your Highness, can I enter the carriage and say? This matter is of great importance." The official of the Ministry of Justice whispered.
Zhao Xuan frowned slightly. There was a private space in the carriage, and there was no one else there. If this person had bad intentions towards him, he would not even have a protector. Zhao Xuan was very caring about his life.
However, the other party looked very sincere, and he had just come out of the Ministry of Justice and was full of anger. Perhaps he could learn some useful information from the mouths of the Ministry of Justice officials.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan said to the man: "Come up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After the official from the Ministry of Justice thanked him, he climbed into the carriage with both hands and feet.
"Okay, let's talk about it now, what's wrong with you looking for me?" Zhao Xuan said: "My carriage is not that easy to get on. If you say some nonsense, don't blame me for being polite."
Zhao Xuan was indeed unable to get Guan Zhuo. After all, the other party had a high position in the Ministry of Justice, but this does not mean that he had no choice but to get other officials of the Ministry of Justice. He could still punish such a small official in the Ministry of Justice.
The official from the Ministry of Justice hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I came here to tell you that not long before you went to the Ministry of Justice, Lord Hou Chonghou had come to the Ministry of Justice."
The official's words made Zhao Xuan's brow jump, and his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly said, "Why did Hou Chong go to the Ministry of Justice?"
Hou Chong is the second prince, and his identity is special. He suddenly went to the Ministry of Justice at this critical moment. He had to let Zhao Xuan think too much and worry about him.
People like Hou Chong obviously would not suddenly go to the Ministry of Justice for no reason. There must be something important. Thinking of Hou Chong's special identity and means, Zhao Xuan suddenly felt a little more worried.
The official saw Zhao Xuan’s interest and felt relieved in his heart, and hurriedly said, “Mr. Hou came to talk to us. The young man didn’t know that they were talking in the room. My master would not allow anyone to approach his room.”
Zhao Xuan frowned.
Just knowing that Hou Chong had gone to the Ministry of Justice was obviously of no help. What he wanted to know more was what was the reason why Hou Chong went to Guan Zhuo to find Guan Zhuo.
Seeing Zhao Xuan frowning, the official of the Ministry of Justice quickly said, "However, Lord Hou did not come to the Ministry of Justice alone. He also brought a body."
"Take a corpse?" Zhao Xuan's face was a little surprised. Then, he seemed to remember something and asked quickly: "Whose corpse is that?"
"I don't know, Lord Hou didn't say it." The official of the Ministry of Justice shook his head and said, "But the body was a woman. Moreover, judging from her clothes, she should be a palace maid in the palace. However, she seemed to have been dead for some time, and the body had begun to rot."
Palace maid?!
