Chapter 640 Accident? Murder?
Upon hearing this, Mei Guangtao immediately thought of the two corpses, one of which happened to be running on a dark blue track.
Wouldn't the dead one be the empty Zen?
Kong Chan is a celebrity in front of the emperor. If he dies, the emperor will definitely be held accountable, and he will not even be able to ask for the Jingzhao Mansion.
Mei Guangtao hurriedly asked: "When the accident happened just now, was Master Kong Chan also in the car?"
Unexpectedly, the driver denied it.
"No, Master Kongchan did not leave the palace today, I heard that he was left in the palace by the emperor.
He also sent someone else to help return to Sanqingguan to get something.
I don't know that person, but he also wears Taoist robes. I encountered an accident on the way to take him to Sanqingguan. "
Mei Guangtao has handled many cases and has very rich experience in handling cases.
He immediately sensed that the case was strange.
Why did Kongchan's carriage encounter an accident?
Is that really a surprise? Or man-made murder?
And why did Kong Chan just avoid this accident?
Is this also a coincidence?
The more Mei Guangtao thought about it, the more bald he felt.
He hurriedly wrote a memorial, wrote the matter into the memorial one by one, and sent them to the palace.
In the Weiyang Palace.
After reading the memorial in his hand, the emperor looked up at Kong Chan, who was sitting opposite.
"Your carriage did have an accident, and the person who went back for you died."
Kong Chan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, is Pindao right? Someone really wants to harm Pindao."
Early this morning, after he entered the palace, he told the emperor that someone was trying to harm him.
The emperor asked who wanted to harm him?
Kong Chan couldn't say it, he just said that someone wanted to harm him.
Seeing that the emperor was dubious, he came up with a solution.
"Usually Pindao is not only in the palace, but also in the Sanqingguan. There are people guarding these two places, and they dare not do it.
If they want to do it, they will definitely choose to do it when Pindao is going back and forth between the palace and Sanqingguan.
Your Majesty can help choose a person who is similar in size to Pindao, let him pretend to be Pindao, and then ride back to Sanqingguan in Pindao's carriage.
If he can safely return to the Taoist temple, it means that the poor Taoist thinks too much.
But if something happened to him, it would prove that what Pindao said was true. "
As a result, something really happened to the carriage!
The driver of the car was injured, and the man disguised as Kong Chan died on the spot.
The emperor said solemnly: "Someone dares to openly kill people in Shengjing City, it is really lawless, order the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture to find out the real culprit within three days, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of negligence!"
When Mei Guangtao, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, received this imperial decree, he faintly felt that the hairline moved back another millimeter.
For the next three days, the entire Jingzhao Mansion was in a state of continuous rotation, and it was so busy that I didn't know what day it was.
Three days later, Mei Guangtao brought the evidence from the investigation into the palace and met the emperor.
"Report to Your Majesty, the case has been found out. The carriage full of stones came from the Royal Palace of England, and the person in charge of the car was also from the Palace of the King of England. He was a servant in the Palace of England. He drank a few more drinks today, and his mind was a little dizzy. That's why there was an accident when transporting the stones, and accidentally hit the carriage of Taoist Kong Zen."
The emperor leaned on the soft collapse and asked meaningfully.
"Listen to you, this is just an accident?"
Mei Guangtao: "Judging from the evidence, this is indeed the case."
This is vague.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the little servant was probably instructed by the King of England to deliberately murder Kong Chan.
Emperor: "Since that servant is from the King's Mansion, let's declare King Ying to enter the palace to confront him."
Soon the British King Luo Yechen entered the palace.
"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."
The emperor didn't go around in circles with him, and directly let people put the evidence in front of him and let him see it for himself.
After he read it, he already understood what was going on, and quickly defended himself.
"Father, please ask Ming Jian. Although that little servant is from the British palace, he definitely wasn't the one who asked him to harm others. The servant is innocent!"
The emperor smiled but not smiled: "How do you know that the little servant must have deliberately harmed others? Obviously, the results of the investigation of the Jingzhao Mansion show that all this is just an accident."
Luo Yechen was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain it, and his face was red with anxiety: "I just know it!"
The emperor turned his head to look at Kong Chan, who had been silent, and asked.
"What do you think of the Taoist priest?"
Kong Chan showed sympathy: "If it wasn't for Pindao's luck this time, I'm afraid that the person who was hit and killed would be Pindao. Pindao has nothing to say. I just want to ask Your Majesty to give justice to the innocent person who was killed."
Luo Yechen sneered: "The cat is crying and the mouse is fake mercy!"
The emperor frowned: "Yechen, now all the evidence points to you. Not only did you not give a reasonable explanation, but you also sneered at Master Kong Chan. Do you still have this father and emperor in your eyes?"
Luo Yechen scratched his neck and said, "Erchen and Kong Chan have no grievances or enmity, why do you want to harm him? Besides, even if Erchen really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't use such a stupid method. The carriage is Erchen. The people in the mansion are also in the mansion of Erchen. Isn't this clearly telling everyone that it is Erchen who wants to harm Kongchan? Erchen is just a muscle, not stupid, as for making things so obvious?!"
This is not without reason.
The emperor hesitated.
Kong Chan said: "Maybe the lord wants to do the opposite, deliberately making things so obvious, in order to clear his suspicions?"
Luo Yechen rolled his eyes at him: "You suspect that I did the opposite on purpose, and I also suspect that you are shouting to catch a thief!"
Kong Chan frowned: "Your Highness, don't slander people with empty words."
Luo Yechen showed disdain: "Don't think I don't know, you are actually helping King You secretly, and you are simply a chess piece that King You placed beside his father!"
Kong Chan's face changed: "You are talking nonsense! Pindao and King You have never communicated!"
Having said that, he quietly glanced at the emperor.
The emperor is suspicious, and he is most afraid of people around him making friends with the prince.
What's more, he was the traitorous son of King You who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
Sure enough, the emperor's face changed a little after hearing Luo Yechen's words.
He seems to be measuring the credibility of Luo Yechen's words.
Kong Chan tried his best to defend himself and said many things.
But the emperor never said a word.
Finally, he closed his eyes and said lightly: "I'm tired, you go down first."
Everyone backed out.
After everyone left, the emperor opened his eyes, called Gan Fu in, and ordered.
"You ask someone to find out the background of the little servant in the British palace."
Gan Fu bowed his hands and said, "Here."
In just one day, Gan Fu found the desired result.
He returned to the emperor.
"The servant is nominally a member of the King's Mansion. In fact, he is a spy placed by King You next to King Ying. As early as when King Ying was only the eldest prince, this spy was already by the side of the eldest prince."
The Emperor asked, "Has the King of England been unaware of this?"
Without waiting for Gan Fu to answer, the emperor took care of himself.
"He must have not noticed it, otherwise, with his temperament, he would have already cut people into pieces, how could he keep people by his side all the time?"
Do you still remember the person who encouraged Luo Yechen to send someone to assassinate the prince? It's this little guy.
I can count this hole filled, the obsessive-compulsive disorder is satisfied, and I can sleep peacefully.
Good night everyone, by the way, ask for a monthly pass~
I feel like an emotional ticket-seeking machine.
