Chapter 400

Almost when Xiao Yiyuan learned that something had happened in the water prison of the palace, a malicious rumor against him was quietly rising in DIDU city.

……

In the Department of criminal justice, Xia Jin is busy sorting out the clues about the Yulin Yan case.

She found a missing link in the chain of clues:

How did Yulin Yan's body get into the cave?

While thinking about it, Wu Bangtou rushed from outside to inside. He looked so eager that he even forgot to knock on the door.

"Lord Xia, it's not good. It's not good. Lord Yi has been framed."

"What? What's the matter with you? "

Xia Jin immediately got up from her seat and looked at Wu's group seriously. She immediately realized that she was overreacting and quickly added a sentence:

"Lord Yi is an important official of the dynasty. He is a noble of the heaven family. You should not make fun of him easily."

"Oh, no joke."

Wu Bangtou reached out and patted his thigh, frowned and said quickly:

"I don't know who made a rumor that Prince Xichuan's death was controlled by Prince Yi behind the scenes. The reason is that Prince Xichuan once said disrespectful to dong'a youruo, the daughter of dong'a general's residence who accompanied Prince Yi to Xichuan four years ago, and even intended to touch him."

"East ah you Ruo?"

Xia Jin frowned, how to pull a woman in again?

Xiao Yiyuan's confidants are really many?

Wu Bangtou doesn't know what Xia Jin thinks. When she doubts who dong'a you is, she explains it quickly

"Dong a you ruo's grandfather is the eldest brother of the supreme emperor. His father is Dong a Kuo, a great general who once guarded one side. It is said that this great general was very angry about the destruction of the great general of Zhennan about nine years ago because he didn't believe that the general of Zhennan would rebel. He resigned his official post and gave him leisure at home. He refused to take office despite the imperial court's call. However, his two sons are in the account of Lord Yi. For these reasons, dong'a youruo and Prince Yi are relatively close. It has even been rumored that dong'a youruo will be princess Yi before... "

Wu Bangtou suddenly realized that he had made a slip of words. He covered his mouth and carefully observed Xia Jin's face. Seeing that her expression had not changed much, he was relieved and secretly scolded himself for being too quick.

Xia Jin did have some bad taste in her heart, but she covered it up well and didn't show it. She said to Wu Bantou seriously:

"I know what you are thinking. Since I dare to defy the edict, it shows that my relationship with Lord Yi is not what you think... Lord Yi, as a member of the royal family, attaches great importance to his reputation. You must not believe and spread his rumors as easily as those people in the market outside, or you will set yourself on fire!"

"Yes, my Lord's lesson is that I should remember myself."

Wu ban tou understands that Xia Jin's words are really for his sake, and bows respectfully to thank him.

Xia Jin waved her hand to show that he didn't have to be so polite, and immediately said:

"What you have just said is not a criminal case. It is not within the power and responsibility of the Department of criminal justice. If it is inconvenient for us to intervene, we should not know the right."

"... yes."

Wu class head heart slightly surprised, Leng below just answer.

"Ask someone to prepare the carriage. Later I have to go to Taotie building to meet the prince."

She had just sorted out the information, and it was too late to start.

"Yes."

Wu knew the importance and left immediately.

……

When Xia Jin arrived at Taotie building, it was the beginning of the Lantern Festival. Taotie building, as the first famous food building in the capital city, was full of traffic outside, and all the people in and out of Taotie building were rich gentry and nobles.

In the carriage, Xia Jin, dressed in men's clothes, put on a long curtain and hat, picked up the evidence that was loaded in the baggage, lifted the curtain, got off the carriage and stepped into the carriage.

She has been in and out of Taotie building for three days in a row. Impressed by her, the assistant quickly steps forward and leads her to Tianzi box 1 on the fourth floor.

"The guests have been waiting inside, young master, please."

The man enthusiastically opened the door of the box and respectfully invited her in.

Xia Jin steps into the room and the second child closes the door.

Suddenly, in the spacious and bright box, there were only Xia Jin and the prince Xiao Yichen sitting beside the round table.

She walked to the table, put the burden on the table, and then reached out to take off the hat on her head. After putting it aside, she bowed and arched at Xiao Yichen and gave a salute.

"Xia Jin has met his royal highness."

"Ha ha ~ Xia Jin, you don't have to kneel down in front of your father. You really don't need to be so respectful and polite in front of me."

Xiao Yichen was helpless in her smile.

If let his four younger brothers know, Xia Jin in the face of him this east palace prince, should be so cautious, with that guy's character, is bound to remember him in the heart.

At that time, he would be overcast again.

Xia Jin didn't know that Xiao Yichen was depressed, so she straightened up and said:

"His royal highness is the king and Xia Jin is the minister. The courtesy of the monarch and his officials should not be discarded easily. "

Xiao Yichen

What he said is so reasonable that he has nothing to say.

"Just sit down."

What should come is inevitable. Xiao Yichen gives up persuasion.

After hearing the speech, Xia Jin said thanks and sat down.

Her eyes swept over the table of fine dishes, fell on the burden in front of her, reached out to untie it, took out the thick stack of paper, and pushed it to Xiao Yichen.

"Your Highness, this is the result of today's joint investigation by Tixing department and Donggong dark guard. Please have a look."

"Well."

Xiao Yichen micro a nod, take it in the hand, fast and meticulous looked up.

The sound insulation effect of the room is very good. The box is quiet. Xia Jin is waiting for Xiao Yichen to finish.

"Gu Gu ~"

All of a sudden, my stomach made an untimely protest.

Xia Jin's face was slightly embarrassed. Xiao Yichen raised her head and looked at her with a smile

"I've already said I'll let you feel free, OK?"

If you don't listen to him, a protest will be in front of you.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Xia Jin is full of embarrassment and embarrassment and tries to be calm.

Xiao Yichen continued to look down to read the materials.

Xia Jin took a few deep breaths, picked up chopsticks and ate first.

……

Almost at the same time of filling her stomach, Xiao Yichen also finished reading the information she brought.

He looked at her solemnly

"Although I'm responsible for the Yulin Yan case, I have a lot of things to do. I've worked hard for you these days. However, there is always a doubt in my heart, that is, the cave where Yulin Yan's body was found... There is such a monster in the cave. How did Qin Huang and his party transport Yulin Yan's body into the cave? If they didn't get Yulin Yan's body in, where was the first place of the crime? Is it the man or the monster who brought Yulin Yanzhi's body into the cave

If we can answer this question and add the existing evidence, we will be able to close the case.

"What your highness said is also in Xia Jin's mind. Xia Jin will go to Yilian mountain tomorrow in order to find out the truth as soon as possible."
