The three words in a dull tone expressed Fang Jue's current anger.
"Young Master, the crime occurred on Zhuque Street. Someone shot Hong Yi's war horse with a crossbow in the street, and then used the master to chase her... In the deep alley, Hong Yi killed her opponent."
"Who?" Fang Jue turned around and looked at Xiao Chaoguo.
Xiao Chaoguo looked at Lu Xin who was standing aside.
Lu Xin handed over his hand: "Young Master, he is Wan Jianshan on the list of villains, but he has been killed by Master Ye."
"Wanjian Mountain? Number six on the list of villains, that flower picker?" Fang Jue's face was cold and gloomy.
Lu Xin quickly explained: "Don't worry, young master, he didn't succeed."
Fang Juedao: "Although Hongyi is on the beauty list, it makes sense for a prostitute from Wanjian Mountain to come for her... But how do you explain the crossbow arrow?"
Crossbows are controlled products. To mobilize dozens of archers at once must have a military background.
Fang Jue doesn't believe that Wanjianshan can bring so many people to pick flowers?
"Well...there is indeed something fishy about this matter." Lu Xin immediately expressed his suspicions.
When he heard that no one was present at the patrol camp, Fang Jue nodded in understanding.
"The patrol battalion turned a deaf ear. The Imperial Guards who were patrolling several miles away all arrived, but no one showed up... Haha."
Xiao Chaoguo stretched his eyebrows and silently held a moment of silence for the patrol camp.
Did he know that this Fang Jue seemed to be generous, but in fact he would retaliate decisively every time.
Why didn't Xiao Luoye get it? Who in the capital doesn't know it well now?
"My lords, since the young master has arrived, there is no need for me, so I will take my leave?" Huo Shenxian felt that he seemed a bit redundant.
Fang Jue handed over his hand: "Dian Yi, send the old gentleman off for me and let him return home safely."
"Yes." Dianyi followed Huo Shenxian and walked away.
Xiao Chaoguodao: "Young Master, the patrol camp has failed in its responsibility for this matter. I will report to His Majesty tomorrow to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Fang Jueleng said: "Do you still need to check?"
"Uh..." Xiao Chaoguo chuckled.
Bai Qing said outside the door: "Our Xuanjian Division and the Young Master had just attacked He Louqian, and Lord Ye was assassinated...I'm afraid that King Qi will not be able to escape his involvement in this matter."
He was a little joking: "What do you plan to do, Master?"
King of Qi?
Xiao Chaoguo is not stupid. Of course he knows that King Qi is highly suspicious, but he also said rigorously: "If someone deliberately provokes you at this time, you will be fooled. Young Master should calm down and wait for the results of the investigation."
He was afraid that Fang Jue would repeat the same trick again, just like killing Xiao Luoye, and that King Qi would die without any trace or trace.
The King of Qi is different. He is a serious prince who has been given treasures by the royal family. Once he dies, he will be traced.
And His Majesty cannot tolerate it either.
It would be a great loss if this prodigy was separated from Xia Guo because of this.
Fang Jue looked at everyone: "Everyone, go out first. I have some special medicine that I want to use for Hong Yi."
Bai Qing expressed his understanding, turned around and left, taking Qin Mengchi away who wanted to help.
"Forehead……"
When Xiao Chaoguo saw Fang Jue looking over, he reminded him with some reluctance: "Young Master... you are not engaged after all, so you still have to pay attention..."
"..." Fang Jue rolled his eyes at Xiao Chaoguo.
"What, we're just outside, if you need help." Xiao Chaoguo sneered and walked away. He really didn't dare to provoke Fang Jue now.
After everyone left, Fang Jue sat beside the bed, his serious face suddenly smiled:
"They're all gone, stop pretending."
"Huh?" Ye Hongyi suddenly opened his eyes and showed a naughty smile.
Fang Jue pointed at her: "I knew it. I gave you the special inner armor made by Emperor Zun Pavilion. How could it be possible for an arrow to be inserted into the sleeve?"
"Hehe..." Ye Hongyi giggled twice.
"Does it hurt?" Fang Jue pointed at her shoulder, already knowing that she inserted it on purpose.
Its intention was also clear to Fang Jue.
"A gun was fired?" Fang Jue asked.
"Yes..." Ye Hongyi nodded, "Wan Jianshan's martial arts is better than mine, and he knows many evil ways. I was afraid that I would be secretly drugged if I fought with him, so I never gave him a chance to get close."
"That's good...just have a good rest. You're not allowed to do this next time." Fang Jue felt a little distressed, but also a little admired.
This little girl is not a weak woman, she is very cruel to herself.
In order to add weight to the attack on King Qi, he actually shot an arrow into his own body.
"Yeah." Ye Hongyi nodded obediently.
…
In the past few days, Beijing is busy with the follow-up to the He Louqian case.
The Fuzhou garrison was also brought to the capital for trial, and many officials were involved in the investigation. The Three Law Departments have been extremely busy recently.
This case was heard by Shang Datian, and no one dared to slack off, just waiting for it to be over so that they could have a rest.
However, in the early morning of this day, the officials of the Sanfa Department who had just gone to court and were preparing to report yesterday's progress discovered something strange.
Because a few people who usually don't go to court are all here today.
Young Master, the head of the Xuanjian Division, and all the sword masters in the Xuanjian Division.
"Something is going to happen..." Everyone could see the cold expressions on the faces of the Young Master and everyone in the Xuanjian Division.
At this time, behind the Fengtian Palace, the emperor's face was also ashen.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Feng had a premonition that today's morning court meeting would be a storm.
Xiao Pingsi looked at the report delivered by the Xuanjian Division overnight and was furious: "Go to court!"
"Your Majesty, calm down...you have to calm down. I'm afraid we need to appease the young master and the Xuanjian Division first."
Wang Feng served for many years, relying not only on his ability to look at the eyes, but also on his ability to calm the emperor's anger at critical moments.
Sure enough, when he said this, Xiao Pingsi calmed down a little.
"Yes, the young master must be more angry than me. Has he come to court?"
A eunuch came around from the front and nodded.
After getting the answer, Xiao Pingsi led Wang Feng and Mo Yuan, who looked ashamed at the side, into Fengtian Hall.
On the palace.
As soon as the emperor sat down, all the officials felt that the superior was in a bad mood.
Before the news of what happened last night had spread, Xuan Jian Si also deliberately concealed the news, just to make a sudden move in the palace.
"bump--"
Before anyone started playing, Xiao Pingsi slapped a palm print on the imperial case.
Everyone trembled in shock.
"Your Majesty?" Zhuge Qingshan asked first, "Why are you so angry?"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Although everyone didn't know what happened, they still paid attention according to the procedure.
Xiao Pingsi looked down with a cold and angry expression: "Hiding crossbows secretly and assassinating my sword wielder in the dark night of the capital, some people are so audacious!?"
"What?"
The officials were shocked.
Hidden crossbows and assassinated sword wielders.
No wonder His Majesty is so angry. Either of these two charges can be regarded as treason.
Zhuge Qingshan came out: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Only he dared to ask clearly.
Fang Jue and Xiao Chaoguo have not taken action yet, just to see the emperor's attitude.
Seeing that he was filled with righteous indignation, there was no need for the two of them to force the situation anymore and appear aggressive.
Xiao Pingsi took a deep breath. Seeing this, Xiao Chaoguo came out and answered:
"Master Chief...Last night, Ye Hongyi, the swordsman of the Xuanjian Division, was attacked on Zhuque Street. His war horse was shot to death by a crossbow arrow, and Lord Ye was also seriously injured..."
Too bad!
Something big is going to happen.
Everyone had the same idea, and then looked at Fang Jue, who was standing in the first row.
Zhuge Qingshan was also shocked. Only then did he understand why Fang Jue didn't take the initiative to greet him today.
After this kind of thing, how could I still be in the mood to be polite?
"Who is so bold?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment came out and said angrily, "Hide a crossbow secretly and assassinate court officials in the dark. Isn't this a rebellion!?"
"Please investigate this matter carefully!" Chen Li, the minister of Dali Temple, gritted his teeth.
Everyone in the Xuanjian Division: "I second my opinion!"
The three law divisions usually question each other, but at this time they will definitely stand on the same line.
Assassinating officials of the Three Laws Division is a different crime than assassinating ordinary court officials.
Xiao Pingsi looked at Fang Jue.
But Fang Jue made no move, as if he was indifferent to this.
The assistant minister of Tingwei Mansion said: "Your Majesty, a large number of crossbows are not easy to process. They must come from the military... We need to strictly investigate the loss of crossbows and check all parties to see who is involved in this matter!"
Since it's been made clear, there's no need to be measured in what you say. If the emperor takes the initiative to bring it up, he'll naturally want to investigate it in detail.
At this time, the officials in the Three Laws Division suddenly had some enlightenment.
Because they thought about the Fuzhou guard general who had been interrogated in the past few days.
"Your Majesty... I remembered something... After the Fuzhou guard Li Chuan confessed, he said that he had been in the army and stole nearly a hundred crossbows over several years and gave them to He Louqian on the grounds of consumption and loss.
