After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

The day after Jiang Hao returned to Fang Cao Xuan, the emperor issued an edict, ordering the prince of Weiguo, Xu Xing, to thoroughly investigate the case of witchcraft and murder.

When Xu Xing received the imperial edict, he was a little confused. He really didn't understand. There were so many trusted ministers in the court, so how could such a big thing fall on him?

All in all, it was only a short year from the time he left the military camp to the time he returned to Beijing.

But the emperor had already issued the order, and he had no reason to disobey, so he could only accept it.

After seeing off Eunuch Qu, he immediately sent someone to find Jiang Hao to discuss how to deal with the matter.

There must not be any mistake in this matter.

Jiang Hao was also shocked when he heard the news, and blurted out: "How could it be?"

The Duke of Wei's Mansion was involved with Concubine Shu and the Seventh Prince, and the marriage between Xu Xing and Jiang Hao was granted by the Emperor himself, so Ji became involved with the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

The crown prince and the deposed crown prince are in an antagonistic relationship, and the Weiguo Mansion is related to the Ji family. It is not impossible that there will be unfairness in the process of handling the case.

Therefore, this matter should not be assigned to Xu Xing.

But now, His Majesty did just that.

Xu Xing handed the imperial edict to Jiang Hao and said with a smile: "The evidence in our hands can directly prove that the deposed prince was wrongly accused, but at this moment, we cannot push him out like this. Otherwise, it will be more trouble than gain if he is suspected in turn."

Jiang Hao naturally knew this. Unless he killed the prince and Su Xun directly, they would still be a hot potato.

"Let's lock him up first."

As long as the people from the Dali Temple cannot find the Crown Prince and Su Xun, the Emperor will naturally be more convinced that the two had already run away.

"However, if we want to overturn the verdict, we have no witnesses and no confessions. His Majesty is too suspicious and may not believe our words."

"Right now, we can only take one step at a time."

So, Xu Xing went to Shuntian Prefecture Prison that afternoon.

Pulling out the radish will bring out the mud, it's all tea anyway, so knocking down one is one.

……

After Eunuch Qu returned to the palace, His Majesty asked excitedly, "How is it? Did he show any abnormality?"

"The prince accepted the order without saying anything."

The emperor is an old fox. He uses Xu Xing to block the old stubborn people or the prince's party in the court. Even if it is for Concubine Shu and the Seventh Prince, Xu Xing will not act recklessly.

The ministers were well aware of this, so when they calmed down and thought about it, they understood everything.

"I just hope he won't let me down."

Since the order for a thorough investigation has been issued, it means that they believe Xu Xing can handle the matter well.

The issue of the severe drought in Yuzhou Prefecture had been discussed for a long time without any conclusion, and the emperor was about to face an examination, so he immediately summoned all the ministers to meet him.

Both things are very important. The former concerns the lives of the people, and the latter involves the court's selection of talents. Both are the cornerstones of the country.

……

When Ji Yan learned that the person who thoroughly investigated the case was Xu Xing, he glanced at Xiao Hengshan next to him meaningfully.

Sir Xiao hadn't had a good rest recently and was a little irritable. Seeing Ji Yan looking at him, he stood up and asked, "Master, why are you looking at me?"

Ji Yan did not respond, and even withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and took a nap.

That's it again!

Ji Yan looks like this every time, which is really driving people crazy.

But Ji Yan didn't want to say it, and I couldn't pry his mouth open, so it was just like that.

However, Xiao Hengshan asked Ji Yan a very high-level question: "Grandmaster, what do you think is the chance of the prince turning the tables if he investigates?"

Ji Yan's eyes dimmed when he heard this, and he said slowly: "It's impossible to turn the tables..."
