Chapter 144: Adding insult to injury and killing people
When Wen Qi heard Yin Tu's words, she immediately said angrily: "That's right! I admit that Chu Ze's kid is pretty good, but he is the Duke's son-in-law after all. What does it mean if our daughter marries him? We both are the same after all.
You are all serving as officials in the imperial court, do you need some dignity?"
Yin Tu saw his wife getting angry and subconsciously shrank his neck.
He didn't dare to offend Wen Qi.
Because the two people's martial arts are not at the same level at all.
He said weakly: "What should we do now? The fourth prince has been sent to the prison of the clan's mansion. His Majesty has ordered Mu Huaijin to conduct a strict investigation. You don't know what Mu Huaijin's methods are. If it really involves the two of us, that is
The disaster of confiscating homes and destroying families!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant suddenly ran in from outside in a panic.
"Sir, madam, a secret agent from the brigade came outside the door and said they wanted to search the house!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Qi and Yin Tu's expressions both turned a little ugly.
Wen Qi rushed out with a straight face!
When she came to the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Huaijin was not the one coming!
Just a Senhu from a secret spy agency!
When the Qianhu saw Wen Qi and Yin Tu, they stepped forward and said with a smile: "My two gentlemen, I am ordered by Commander Mu to search your mansion. Please cooperate!"
Wen Qi knew very well that despite the smiles on Qianhu's face, if she dared to refuse, his face would change immediately!
Seeing Wen Qi's hesitation, Qianhu continued: "His Majesty has decreed that our secret spy department should strictly investigate the Wuman blood curse. Commander Mu has ordered that all dignitaries and ministers in Kyoto, including the princes' children, must be searched. Everyone must be searched.
Anyone who resists will be treated as treason! Commander Wen won't make it difficult for me to wait, right?"
Hearing this, Wen Qi knew that she couldn't hide.
I could only force a smile and say, "Of course you can!"
In fact, in front of the Secret Intelligence Department, when Mu Huaijin had Emperor Xia's handwriting, no one could resist!
Even the princes have to accept the searches of the Secret Intelligence Department honestly!
Of course, there are exceptions.
Outside the eldest princess's house, a palace maid was seen with her hands on her hips, pointing at Mu Huaijin's nose, and said arrogantly: "The eldest princess told you to get out of here. If there are still people from the Secret Intelligence Department here after a quarter of an hour,
Kill everyone within a thousand meters of the princess's mansion! No one will be spared!"
Mu Huaijin knew that it was difficult to search the eldest princess's mansion, but he still came here.
The result really made him extremely angry. This eldest princess was not even the most polite.
When I heard that he was going to search, I simply asked the palace maid to come out and send a message!
There was no discussion, no bowing, and no even a single face was lost.
Mu Huaijin looked at the gate of the eldest princess' mansion and clenched her fists.
But as the commander of the Secret Intelligence Department, he knew very well that what this person said was something he would definitely dare to do!
"withdraw!"
In desperation, Mu Huaijin led his people to leave!
Mu Huaijin left in disgrace, his face full of gloom.
A few days later, Mu Huaijin reported in a respectful voice in front of Emperor Xia: "Your Majesty, except for the eldest princess's palace, all the princes' mansions have been searched, and there is nothing abnormal. However, some witch barbarians have also been found in some civil servants' palaces.
The doll is a blood-cursed doll, and it has His Majesty's name written on it! I have already interrogated you, and it seems that they are planning to perform an extremely grand witchcraft blood-cursing ritual. This is their confession!"
Most of the civil servants Mu Huaijin mentioned were people who had grudges against him.
It's just that these people were framed by him, taken to prison, and beaten to death, leaving no room for resistance.
When the confession was placed in front of Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia's expression was extremely angry!
Because of these people, most of their confessions were directed at the Fourth Prince!
Mu Huaijin secretly looked at Emperor Xia's expression, and he naturally knew that these people's confessions were all coerced after being tortured.
But, so what? Emperor Xia didn’t know, and the confession in front of Emperor Xia was what he wanted to present!
"Kill! Kill them all by me! These rebellious ministers are so ambitious! They have no king and no father! They will all be executed!"
Emperor Xia was furious and issued an order!
No emperor, or indeed any person, wants to be cursed by others!
Mu Huaijin looked at the angry Emperor Xia, with a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
For him, Emperor Xia's issuing of this order gave him the opportunity to eradicate dissidents and political opponents.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I went to the eldest princess's mansion a few days ago to conduct a search, but was kicked out by the eldest princess. I have made it clear that I was following your majesty's order, but the eldest princess didn't even show her face and was speechless.
So arrogant, many people heard it!" Mu Huaijin was humiliated by the eldest princess's maid, and she would naturally not forget it.
Facing Emperor Xia at this time, he directly complained!
When the eldest princess was mentioned, Emperor Xia calmed down!
Everyone in the court, from top to bottom, can be killed with just one word!
Only this daughter, even he, has to be afraid of her!
"Humph, let her go!" Emperor Xia snorted coldly. Although he clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, he did not say what he wanted to do to the eldest princess.
Mu Huaijin's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, and at the same time, he became even more afraid of the eldest princess!
He could predict that if he really didn't leave that day, he would be killed by the eldest princess, and nothing would happen to Emperor Xia!
In the Great Xia court, there was a roar of wind and cranes.
Mu Huaijin's search and frame-up resulted in countless people being implicated.
Moreover, although Mu Huaijin attacked dissidents, he was very cautious and did not touch the senior officials of the ministries!
What he did outside made all the confessions point to the fourth prince!
All of a sudden, everyone related to the fourth prince began to be liquidated!
Including Wu Guobiao, Minister of Industry, was also hinted by Emperor Xia to retire.
Although Wu Guobiao was unwilling to do so, he still did not dare to disobey Emperor Xia, so he could only resign and return home.
In the clan's mansion, the fourth prince's eyes were dull and he was looking at the ground blankly.
As a descendant of Emperor Xia, he did not suffer too many punishments.
There wasn't much interrogation either.
In the dark cell, the fourth prince was filled with confusion!
He didn't know what would greet him.
These days, there is no news about him from outside.
From the beginning he screamed crazily, to the end he could only wait quietly.
Suddenly, the prison of the clan's mansion opened.
He suddenly raised his head and looked over, only to see Chu Ze at the door, greeting the jailer with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you for being so accommodating, brothers. I'll go in, say a few words and then leave!"
The jailer smiled and said: "Your Majesty has not prohibited visits to the prison. There is no problem for Chu Pian to visit the prison in the future."
Emperor Xia did not prohibit visits to prison.
It's just that the fourth prince is already being avoided by everyone at this time. Where can anyone come to visit him?
Everyone except him was imprisoned in ordinary prisons!
Chu Ze carried the food box and walked down from the door!
He was all smiles.
This time, Chu Ze's smile came from the heart.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Chu Ze came to the door of the cell.
After looking around, Chu Ze realized that the prison in Zongren Mansion had a much better environment than ordinary prisons. At least it was very clean!
Except for the fact that his face looked a little haggard, the Fourth Prince was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he went to the First Prince's Mansion that day.
He didn't even change into his prison uniform.
Standing at the door, Chu Ze and the fourth prince looked at each other.
The fourth prince gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, what do you want to do?"
"Let's see your joke!" Chu Ze did not conceal the joking in his eyes!
One sentence immediately made the fourth prince furious: "Young man, don't be too happy, I haven't been convicted yet! When I go out in a few days and find Yi'er, I will definitely marry the Yin Ziting you like back to the house, and let her
Zhao Yi tortured her! Think about the way she begged on Zhao Yi's bed! Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
His eyes were full of madness, and he was deliberately irritating Chu Ze, because he knew that Chu Ze cared about Yin Ziting.
Chu Ze looked at the man in front of him and smiled: "No, you have no chance. After all, your son is dead! And I killed him! I heard that you are shouting in prison these days that I am in cahoots with the eldest prince.
, I am the one who killed your son, congratulations, you guessed it right, it is true! Not only was I the one who killed Zhao Yi, but I also destroyed his body and left no trace of it!"
Because there was no one else in the cell, Chu Ze didn't care at all!
Anyway, this guy keeps biting me!
Even if he admits it, as long as he doesn't know what he did, what can he do?
Upon hearing Chu Ze's words, the fourth prince, who originally wanted to anger and humiliate Chu Ze, his eyes widened in an instant!
He never expected that Chu Ze in front of him actually did it!
Although he was biting Chu Ze crazily, in his heart, he was not sure at all!
Now that he heard that Zhao Yi was really killed by Chu Ze, his eyes turned red and he stared at Chu Ze fiercely: "Boy, you are so brave, you dare to admit this in front of me. When I get out, I will definitely do it."
Kill you! Kill you! Kill them all, including that Yin Ziting!"
Chu Ze sat outside the cell, opened the food box, laid out the dishes one by one, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and while eating, he smiled and said: "I told you, you have no chance.
, let me tell you good news. Mu Huaijin is outside, taking this opportunity to crack down on dissidents. If he attacks dissidents, your case must be made into a solid case. Using his methods to frame charges, do you think you have the right to do so?
How sure are you of being able to escape guilt?"
As soon as these words came out, the fourth prince's back was dripping with cold sweat!
He is not a fool. As the boss of the Secret Intelligence Service, Mu Huaijin has many unjust and wrong cases in his hands!
Everyone knows this, but he has never been found to have a problem in this position for so many years!
That is how the censor participated, and even Emperor Xia once asked civil servants to investigate, but in the end they often returned without success.
If it is true, as Chu Ze said, that guy used this incident to attack dissidents, then he will definitely make this case a solid case!
Thinking of this, the fourth prince couldn't laugh anymore.
Chu Ze continued to eat and said: "Let me tell you another good news. Your Majesty asked Wu Guobiao to grow old!"
Hearing this, the fourth prince's heart sank to the bottom of his heart. Wu Guobiao was his biggest helper in the court.
Now that he is old, it means that Emperor Xia really believed that he was the one who cursed Emperor Xia, so even those close to him were among those who were hit!
Seeing the fourth prince in the cell panicked, Chu Ze smiled and said, "What about my plan? Even if His Majesty may think that you were framed, as long as Mu Huaijin has the intention to attack dissidents, then your case
You will definitely be killed! You don’t even need me to fill in the loopholes. When all the evidence points to you, do you think His Majesty will still believe you? So, you are dead!"
The formation of a case must be composed of many chains of evidence!
As Mu Huaijin continued to extract confessions, he would naturally form an airtight chain of evidence.
He will even concoct some physical evidence himself!
Because if this incident is false and someone else framed the fourth prince, then how can he attack dissidents?
Seeing Chu Ze eating meat and drinking heavily outside the prison, the fourth prince laughed sadly and said angrily: "You are so scheming! Why do you want to tell me the truth?"
Chu Ze looked at him and sneered: "Am I poisonous? Weren't those words you threatened me just now poisonous? Why did I tell you the truth? I just told you, what can you do?"
The fourth prince seemed to have accepted his fate and said with a sad smile: "Yes, no one will believe anything I say, but there is something I don't know. Can you tell me how you put those Wuman curses into my house?
In my house, there are masters from the Moon Eclipse Realm taking charge!!"
Chu Ze looked at the fourth prince, shook his head and joked: "You want to ask me for the details of the case? Do you think I will tell you everything? No, that doesn't give you a chance to make a comeback? Your Majesty is asking you now, you
In addition to knowing that I did it, can you tell me a little bit about the means of committing the crime? I won't tell you any details. I will only tell you that I killed your son and the curse on your house.
, I put it, everything is my idea, I am plotting against you! The reason is that you should not target Yin Ziting!"
After hearing Chu Ze's words, the fourth prince suddenly rushed forward, stretched out his arm from the gap in the cell, and roared: "I'm going to kill you!"
Chu Ze's words can be described as murderous and heartbreaking!
And he was not wrong! The fourth prince really just wanted to know the details of the case so as to gain a chance to make a comeback.
But Chu Ze would not be fooled. Apart from admitting that he did it, he did not disclose the method or who the foreign aid was.
In this case, apart from shouting that Chu Ze was the murderer, the fourth prince still had no evidence at all.
It’s no different from when I was biting before!
Looking at the four princes who were showing their teeth and claws, Chu Ze had a smile on his lips.
Continue to eat the wine and food you brought!
That's right, the things he brought were not for the fourth prince at all, but just to make the fourth prince even more angry.
Inside the cell, the fourth prince was extremely angry, while outside the cell, Chu Ze was leisurely and content.
After taking a sip of wine and food, Chu Ze smiled at the fourth prince and said, "Okay, this should be the last meeting in our lives. I'm waiting for your dear father to reward you with a dagger, poisonous wine and white silk."
.”
Chu Ze packed up his things and stood up, without paying any attention to the crazy roars, curses and shouts of the fourth prince behind him!
There was a burst of joy in his heart.
Thinking of the threats made by the fourth prince just now and what Zhao Yi said in the restaurant.
Chu Ze knew that letting Yin Ziting really marry Zhao Yi would make him miserable!
Now, everything is happy, isn't it? Except that Emperor Xia didn't let this person die for a long time!
In the prison of Zongren Mansion, the fourth prince watched Chu Ze come to the door and greeted the jailer with a smile.
He suddenly discovered that it was just as Chu Ze said, even if he knew it, no one would believe it, and it wouldn't change anything!
In the prison, that night, the fourth prince tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The regret, resentment, anger, and unwillingness in my heart are lingering in my heart!
"Boy named Chu, you won, you did win, but my last life will bring you some trouble!"
The fourth prince bit his finger and wrote four big characters on the ground: "Chu Ze harmed me!"
After writing the four big characters, he looked at the pillars of the cell, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly lowered his head and rushed over!
"boom!"
The violent force caused his cervical vertebrae to break instantly and his skull to collapse!
When the jailer arrived, he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him!
In the palace, Emperor Xia listened to the jailer's report, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes!
In fact, until now, he has not made up his mind on how to deal with the fourth prince!
Princes who can hold power in the court are quite popular with him.
Compared to the eldest prince and the third prince, the fourth prince is actually of a suitable age.
Emperor Xia had seriously considered letting the fourth prince succeed him for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't make up his mind.
It was even said that when the Wuman Blood Curse incident occurred, he ordered the entire family to kill many ministers, but the fourth prince was still imprisoned in the prison of the clan mansion without being punished or dealt with!
Who would have thought that after Chu Ze went to visit the prison, the fourth prince actually committed suicide!
Emperor Xia's mood was extremely complicated.
"Go and let Chu Ze enter the palace! Come now!"
It was midnight, and Chu Ze and Gu Yanran had just finished studying the flexibility and combination of human body structure and were preparing to practice for a while.
The maid's voice came from outside the door: "Uncle, someone is coming from the palace and they want you to enter the palace immediately!"
Hearing this, Chu Ze suddenly felt happy!
Entering the palace at this time, if nothing unexpected happens, the fourth prince should be dead.
In fact, Chu Ze was also worried about Emperor Xia's delay in dealing with the fourth prince. If he was really released, wouldn't it be a big trouble?
As for Emperor Xia asking him to enter the palace, Chu Ze was not afraid!
He knew that nothing would happen to him and he would only receive a few words of reprimand at most!
In the palace!
Emperor Xia looked at Chu Ze, his eyes full of gloom, and said in a deep voice: "Chu Ze, the fourth prince just committed suicide in prison!"
Chu Ze quickly raised his hands and said, "I express my deepest condolences!"
Seeing him like this, Emperor Xia's voice was full of coldness: "Before he died, he said that you were the one who harmed him, and this afternoon, you went to the prison of the Zongren Mansion! Tell me, what did you say to him?"
Facing Emperor Xia's questions, Chu Ze was very nervous and sweating profusely.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I went to laugh at the fourth prince! Because the fourth prince proposed marriage for Zhao Yi, I really couldn't swallow this breath in my heart. Seeing the fourth prince cursing your majesty, he was imprisoned and many people were involved in the court.
I couldn't hold it back, so I went to add insult to injury, and even ate a lot of delicious food in front of the fourth prince."
Emperor Xia stood up angrily and roared: "You know Yin Ziting! Yin Ziting, what else do you know? You waste! Waste!"
Chu Ze lowered his head deeply. This was the first time he saw Emperor Xia collapse emotionally.
But at this time, he felt even more relaxed.
He understood that this kind of emotional collapse was accompanied by the fact that Emperor Xia would not punish him at all!
Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Xia's voice came to his ears: "Get out of here, get out of here now! I don't want to see you! Starting from tomorrow, you go and train my new recruits. When the new recruits compete, if the soldiers under your command are...
If you don’t get into the top ten, I’ll chop off your head!”
