The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Chapter 438: The emperor is right

The groom is dead and the bride is gone.

The marriage of the two is still a gift...

The maid who found Zhu Ziyu's body almost went crazy with fright, and after she recovered, she quickly reported the situation to Princess Rongyang.

Princess Rongyang was stupid for a long time and hurried to the general's mansion.

She and Cui Xu have not lived together for a long time.

Along the way, the servants of the General's Mansion greeted Princess Rongyang one after another.

"Where's your general?"

"The general is practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts field."

Princess Rongyang rushed all the way to the martial arts field located in the northeast corner, and at a glance, she saw the man who danced his sword like a tiger in the morning light.

"Cui Xu—" she called out.

Cui Xu stopped, and strode forward with his sword in hand.

Seeing Cui Xu's indifferent expression, Princess Rongyang gritted her teeth and said, "You still have time to practice swordsmanship, something happened!"

"What happened?" Cui Xu put away the sword and wiped away sweat.

Princess Rongyang lowered her voice and said, "Zhu Ziyu is dead!"

Cui Xu's movement of wiping his sweat stopped abruptly: "Where's Mingyue?"

"It's gone..." Princess Rongyang grabbed Cui Xu's wrist, "Cui Xu, what do you say?"

Cui Xu gently pulled out his hand and clenched the hilt of the sword: "What else can I do, of course, to find someone!"

"But—" Princess Rongyang settled down, her tone inexplicable, "Who killed Zhu Ziyu?"

On the wedding night, the groom died and the bride disappeared. Anyone would suspect that the bridegroom's death was related to the bride.

Princess Rongyang suddenly felt a little strange to the generous and sensible daughter in her impression.

Was Zhu Ziyu killed by Mingyue? Her heart trembled and she didn't dare to think about it.

Cui Xu's voice sounded: "Mingyue has learned boxing and kicking with me for a few years, and it is not a problem to deal with one or two ordinary people easily."

"Cui Xu, what do you mean?"

Cui Xu fixedly looked at Princess Rongyang, with a steady tone: "What I mean is that no matter what the truth is, find someone first and then talk about it."

Princess Rongyang sighed.

Cui Xu is right, no matter who killed the person, Mingyue will find it.

"I'll take someone to find Mingyue first. You enter the palace and report this to the emperor."

Princess Rongyang was taken aback: "Want to tell the emperor?"

"I can't hide it sooner or later." Cui Xu put down a sentence and strode out.

When Emperor Jingming left the court, he heard Pan Hai report to Princess Rongyang that she wanted to see him.

What's wrong again?

Emperor Jing Ming recalled it seriously.

Yesterday, Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu's wedding was said to be very smooth——

"Please go to the imperial study, the eldest princess."

Emperor Jing Ming returned to the imperial study without even sitting down on his buttocks, and Princess Rongyang walked in.

"My sister-in-law pays respect to the emperor."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Princess Rongyang's red eyes, Emperor Jing Ming's brain started to hurt.

"Brother, the bright moon is gone..."

Emperor Jing Ming sat up subconsciously: "What?"

Princess Rongyang knelt down: "My sister is here to plead guilty."

Emperor Jing Ming simply got up and walked over: "What's the guilt? You get up and make things clear first!"

Princess Rongyang got up and briefly explained the situation.

"You mean that the moon is gone and Zhu Ziyu is dead?" Emperor Jing Ming's heart trembled.

He said that there was another moth, and it was true!

Princess Rongyang nodded slowly.

Emperor Jing Ming closed his eyes and opened them after a long time. His dark eyes made it impossible to see emotions.

"What do you think of the queen?"

The eldest princess of Rongyang was about to cry: "Brother Huang, the ministers and sisters are very worried, it must be the gangster who broke in and killed Zhu Ziyu and kidnapped Mingyue—"

"Does the Zhu family know about this?"

"I don't know yet."

"I ordered Zhen Shicheng to investigate the case, and Han Ran, the commander of Jinlinwei, assisted Cui Xu to find Mingyue..."

Princess Rongyang's face changed slightly: "Brother Huang, is it inappropriate to let people from the government intervene?"

The matter of Mingyue and Zhu Ziyu is considered a private affair of the royal family. Once it is found out, it will affect the reputation of the royal family.

Emperor Jing Ming didn't take it seriously: "The secret investigation is it. Zhen Shicheng knows what he has in mind."

That old guy has a case to investigate.

Much better than some people who pretend to be loyal ministers but always cause trouble.

Princess Rongyang had to answer.

Emperor Jing Ming glanced at her and warned, "Don't say more about the mother's side for the time being, let the Zhu family breathe quietly first."

"Brother, don't worry, the younger sister knows."

"Then Queen, go get busy."

When Princess Rongyang left, Emperor Jing Ming stood by the window for a long time without speaking.

"Pan Hai—"

"The servant is here."

"Do you say that the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster, or the other way around?"

Pan Hai wiped his sweat again and again: "Your Majesty, slave..."

"Forget it, if people don't go well, any eye will jump."

Pan Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

If the emperor embarrassed him again with this kind of problem, his life would be over.

"Pan Hai, who do you think Zhu Ziyu would kill?"

Pan Hai: "..."

"Your Majesty, Liuchuhuazhai has published a new book of words, would you like to read it?"

...

Zhen Shicheng received the secret decree, and suddenly came to the spirit.

There haven't been any decent cases in the capital recently. The Shuntian Mansion in town has been dealing with trivial matters all day long: what about Wang Sanjia's vines crawling to Li Sijia's house, and the melons being picked by Li Si's wife; Zhao Liujia's pigs getting lost It was picked up and not returned; the daughter-in-law of the Sun family eloped with someone...

Zhen Shicheng felt that he was too busy to grow mushrooms.

There has been another major case, and it is still a major case of one death and one disappearance!

The only thing that makes Zhen Shicheng unsatisfied is that because the victim's identity is special, he needs to cover up the identity investigation and not disturb his neighbors.

This was not difficult for Zhen Shicheng, and soon he disguised himself as a visiting guest, and the girl-girl followed behind him with a gift box in full force.

As for what's in the gift box, only you know.

After some careful investigation and cross-examination, Zhen Shicheng was quite disappointed.

The case was simpler than he had imagined.

"Zhen Shicheng is asking for a meeting?" Emperor Jing Ming had more and more headaches recently, and he was closing his eyes and resting when he heard the report.

It didn't take long for Zhen Shicheng to appear in front of Emperor Jing Ming.

"What did Zhen Aiqing find?"

When it comes to what he is best at, Zhen Shicheng is not humble, and immediately said: "Report to the emperor, the situation has been found out."

Emperor Jing Ming's eyes were bright: "Zhen Aiqing, talk about it."

"After checking, the groom should have been stabbed in the back by the bride and killed."

The jade ornament that Emperor Jing Ming was playing with almost fell off: "Is it true that Zhen Aiqing is joking?"

Can his quiet and elegant niece kill a big man with one knife?

Zhen Shicheng's face was straight and he said solemnly: "I never joke when I investigate the case. I have ordered the officer to examine the groom's body. From the direction of the wound, the depth of the wound, and the blood on the bed, we can speculate that it should be the bride who was pressed by the groom. When he was under him, he raised a dagger and aimed it at the groom and stabbed it in his heart..."

Emperor Jing Ming's face was very exciting, and after a while he asked with difficulty: "Zhen Aiqing means that the bride killed the groom and then fled in fear of the crime?"

Zhen Shicheng nodded: "The emperor is right."
