Chapter 2581 Bao Zheng solves the case and Zhulong is exposed
Chapter 2577: Bao Zheng solves the case and Zhulong is exposed
Ying Hao concluded that Liu Mu must have known about it in advance, if not all of it, then he certainly knew part of it, but he was not sure whether Liu Mu was involved in the exchange of identities between the two children.
Ying Hao felt that Liu Mu should not have participated. After all, this was not something she would do.
With Liu Mu's personality, if he knew that the child in his arms was Ying Sheng and not Ying Xi, he would never have helped his archenemy Ren Hongchang to raise the child, nor would he have seen his son named Ren Hongchang Niang.
Therefore, in addition to the Supreme Emperor and Liu Mu, there must be a third party hidden behind this incident of civet cat for crown prince.
This third force supported Liu Mu, but had its own plans and secretly exchanged Ying Sheng and Ying Xi.
With this thought, Ying Hao suddenly realized that if he followed this idea, Liu Mu had also been deceived by the person behind him, but he still continued to provide cover for the opponent.
Typically, after selling to others, you still count the money for others.
“Mu’er, since you already know your mistake, then tell me the truth, who revealed the news to you?” Ying Hao asked again.
Liu Mu's heart suddenly tightened and he began to weigh it. If he confessed to Ying Hao now, what kind of punishment would Chang'e receive?
After much thought, Liu Mu still didn't dare to confess to Ying Hao. After confessing, she would naturally be fine, but Chang'e would definitely be tricked by him. After all, this was the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Ying Hao asked for a long time, but Liu Mu just cried and didn't say a word, obviously trying to protect the person who revealed the truth.
“Okay, if you don’t say it, it doesn’t matter. I’ll guess it myself.
There are only a few people who are willing to protect you to this extent, Liu Ji? Liu Ye? Or Chang'e? "
Even if Liu Mu didn't say anything, Ying Hao would still be able to guess pretty well.
Liu Ji, the Minister of War, and Liu Ye, the Minister of Industry, both belong to the Han dynasty, but it was just because of their origins, and they did not make any transcendental moves.
Both of them may have access to such secrets, but Ying Hao felt that it was unlikely that it was them, and Liu Mu would not insist on covering them up.
Ying Hao thinks that Chang'e is the most likely. After all, Liu Mu and she are really sisters, and Chang'e is from Heibingtai, so she can also have access to this level of secrets.
Hearing Ying Hao mention Chang'e's name, Liu Mu's heart suddenly thumped, but he still pretended to be calm and refused to say anything.
Ying Hao kept staring at Liu Mu. When he saw Liu Mu's expression was different, he immediately understood everything. It seemed that Chang'e had told the secret.
But a new doubt arose again. Since it was Chang'e who revealed the secret, was she the one who exchanged the two princes? How did you transfer Dongfang Shuo to do this?
Ying Hao had new clues and was no longer interested in playing riddles with Liu Mu. After comforting Liu Mu, he left directly. After all, the identity issue of the two children had not yet been resolved.
Ying Haodu had not yet left the West Palace when he received news that Bao Zheng had solved the case.
“What? So fast?”
Ying Hao also looked shocked. After all, he gave Bao Zheng seven days to investigate the case, but on the first day, Bao Zheng solved the case. This efficiency was too fast.
“Bao Zheng, tell me quickly, how did you solve the case?” Ying Hao asked curiously.
Bao Zheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am able to solve the case so quickly mainly because of the help of the Grand Tutor."
“Taifu?”
Ying Hao had a look of understanding in his eyes. He knew that such a big thing happened in the palace, and it also involved the Supreme Emperor and Hei Bingtai. How could that old fox Jia Xu not know about it.
After Jia Xu learned what happened in the palace, he immediately realized that something was wrong. After all, he hinted that Chang'e just wanted Liu Mu to protect himself, but the two princes were kidnapped after they were born.
With Jia Xu's wisdom, how could he not see the way in this, so he quickly approached Bao Zheng and took the initiative to blow himself up, seeking leniency for his meritorious service, so that Bao Zheng could solve the case within one day.
After listening to Jia Xu's story, Ying Hao gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Tai Tuo, since you knew it in advance, why didn't you stop the Emperor, and why didn't you tell me?"
Jia Xu smiled bitterly when he heard this. The emperor no longer called him uncle, but called him by his official name. He must be dissatisfied with him. This is really an unreasonable disaster.
"Your Majesty, I just made a guess and didn't have any evidence. That's why I revealed it to Chang'e and asked her to secretly protect the Queen. I didn't know that Chang'e had other thoughts."
Jia Xu said with a bitter look on his face. He just wanted to protect himself, but in the end he was still dragged into the water. He really didn't know what to say except that he was unlucky.
"You old fox, do you really think that I don't know what you are thinking? You are just afraid of getting angry, so you don't come forward yourself, but let your subordinates charge into the battle for you. Now you are being pushed into the water by your own subordinates."
Hearing Ying Hao's words, Jia Xu felt even more bitter.
Now, I don’t even call him Taifu, I just call him old man.
The emperor is really angry this time, and he will definitely be implicated.
Jia Xu understood Ying Hao's personality, so he kept his mouth firm and confessed directly: "Your Majesty, please calm down and I will admit my guilt."
Ying Hao glared at Jia Xu fiercely: "You have other things to worry about. The most important thing now is to find out the truth. Where are the Chang'e people?"
Bao Zheng stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, not long after Master Taifu found me, Wei Chen arrested Chang'e and is now being held outside the palace."
"Bring Chang'e in." Ying Hao said expressionlessly.
)
Soon, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu pressed Chang'e into the hall.
Looking at Chang'e who looked miserable, Ying Hao felt no pity in his heart and asked indifferently: "Chang'e, are you the assassin who sneaked into the East Palace?"
Chang'e remained silent and looked like she was begging for death. Seeing this, Ying Hao asked Bao Zheng: "Bao Aiqing, since Chang'e is the assassin who sneaked into the East Palace, what is her motive for sneaking into the East Palace?"
Bao Zheng immediately said: "Wei Chen speculates that the reason why Chang'e did this is because she wanted the son of the Queen of the West Palace to become the prince."
Hearing this, Chang'e looked at Bao Zheng with horror in her eyes and thought to herself: How did he know?
Ying Hao couldn't help but say something awesome in his heart. He had the system and stood from God's perspective, so he knew that the prince had been exchanged.
Bao Zheng didn’t have anything. He relied solely on his own brain to figure out the truth so quickly. He was worthy of Bao Qingtian.
Ying Hao knew the truth, but he couldn't tell it himself. He had to guide his men to restore the truth, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "Bao Aiqing, please tell me carefully how Chang'e committed the crime."
“Yes, Chang’e and Queen Xigong were sisters. After learning that Queen Xigong wanted to endure the humiliation and send the prince out of the palace, she had other thoughts in mind.
Chang'e did not secretly send the prince out of the palace according to Queen Liu's plan. Instead, she sneaked into the East Palace and stole the newly born Prince Ying Sheng, and then secretly exchanged it with Prince Ying Xi.
But what Chang'e didn't expect was that when she returned Prince Xi, she happened to bump into Zixia and was caught in a dilemma. So she took advantage of the situation and pretended to **** the child, making Zixia and General Jiang Juan mistakenly think that she had taken her away. Prince Sheng, but actually Prince Xi.
Finally, after some entanglement, Chang'e took the initiative to return Prince Xi, and General Li Cunxiao and the others also returned Prince Sheng, but the identities of the two princes were unknowingly exchanged.
The reason why she did not make any resistance was because she wanted to use her own death to completely cover up the truth. "
Hearing that Bao Zheng recounted his crime experience, Chang'e couldn't sit still at all and said quickly: "I have never done this before. These are just your guesses. Where is the evidence for what you said?"
Seeing Chang'e's sophistry, Bao Zheng was calm and dissatisfied and said: "You want evidence, right? Miss Chang'e, please explain to me. Since the Queen of the West Palace asked you to **** the prince out of the palace, why did you sneak into the East Palace?"
“I have never been to the East Palace at all.”
“Haha, where did the gunshot wound on your body come from?”
Hearing Bao Zheng's words, Chang'e was completely speechless.
She can refuse to admit that she has been to the East Palace, but she has a gunshot wound left by Jiang Juan. This is a fact that no amount of sophistry can change.
Seeing that Chang'e didn't speak, Bao Zheng had no intention of continuing to press. He turned to Ying Hao above him and said, "Your Majesty, Chang'e is the assassin who sneaked into the East Palace. Her purpose of sneaking into the East Palace was to exchange the prince. Only in this way can the whole thing be solved." make sense."
"That's it, Chang'e. Now the evidence is conclusive, do you admit it?" Ying Hao asked.
Chang'e looked miserable. She was ready to sacrifice herself to cover up the truth of the matter, but she didn't expect that Bao Zheng would crack it so easily.
"Master Bao's guess is correct. These are all done by me and have nothing to do with Sister Mu. Chang'e knows that she has been sorry for Your Majesty and Sister Mu, and she is willing to die to apologize."
After saying this, Chang'e suddenly stood up and bumped directly against a pillar on one side. However, Bao Zheng, who was quicker than his eyes and hands, stopped her and suddenly crashed into Bao Zheng's arms.
“Pfft…”
Bao Zheng was hit so hard that he vomited blood and said with a wry smile: "Miss Chang'e, the crime you committed is not enough to die ten times. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but can you explain the other things clearly?" before seeking death."
Seeing this, Ying Hao couldn't help but thought to himself: This Bao Zheng really didn't even give up his life in order to solve the case. He dared to block the collision even if the master sacrificed his life. If Chang'e hadn't withdrawn her strength in time, Bao Zheng would have been killed.
Chang'e was a little confused about the meaning of Bao Zheng's words: "Is there any doubt? This matter was done by me alone, and no one else was involved."
“How can you do so many things by yourself?”
“I did it alone.”
“Then can you explain how Master Dongfang who was guarding the East Palace was transferred by you?”
Hearing what Bao Zheng said, Chang'e was completely shocked and said in disbelief: "What? There is a great master guarding the East Palace? How is this possible?"
“How is it impossible?”
Ying Hao couldn't stand it anymore and said, "It's such a big event for the two queens to give birth. Since I have secretly arranged Huang Shang to guard the West Palace, how can I favor one over the other and not send a Grand Master to guard the East Palace?"
Hearing Ying Hao say the same thing, Chang'e's heart became even more confused.
She knew that Huang Shang was deceived by the Supreme Emperor, but she really didn't know that Dongfang Shuo was also in the East Palace, otherwise she would not have been able to enter the East Palace at all.
“How could this happen? Master Dongfang was not there when I went to the East Palace?”
When Ying Hao saw Chang'e's attitude, he knew that there was someone else behind this incident.
Ying Hao didn't believe it from the beginning. Chang'e was so courageous and could do so many things by herself.
Chang'e is a person with a strong sense of justice. She has been undercover for many years and finally came back as a hero. She is unlikely to do anything harmful to the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, given the relationship between Chang'e and Liu Mu, how could she disobey Liu Mu and make such a bold decision without telling Liu Mu about the things Liu Mu asked her to do?
So, Chang'e was also used by others. She was just a chess piece, and what she did may not be her original intention.
Behind all this, there is an invisible hand controlling everything secretly.
It was this person who secretly tampered with Chang'e's thinking, and helped Chang'e lure away Dongfang Shuo when Chang'e changed princes, and got rid of the people Dongfang Shuo sent to deliver the message.
As for who the person is, Ying Hao already has a goal in mind, which is nothing more than: one of the three Zhulong, Zhuang Zhou, and Sakyamuni. Only they have the ability to tamper with the thinking of a master.
The most suspect among the three is Zhulong, and only he would do so much for Liu Mu.
“Zhulong, you are looking for death.” Ying Hao sneered in his heart.
