Chapter 331 Never Ending

A few days later, after Ye Er confessed everything, everyone followed the clues to investigate carefully, and finally all the evidence pointed to Prince Qing who was far away in the imperial mausoleum.

Since this matter involved the Royal Court, the already unusual investigation became even more serious.

Originally, only the Dali Temple and the General's Mansion were investigating, but now the Emperor has directly ordered the prison officials to assist in the investigation. After confirming that the mastermind behind the murder is Prince Qing who is far away in the imperial mausoleum, the Emperor will send people to arrest him.

In fact, the emperor has already sent people to the direction of the imperial mausoleum. Once the matter is confirmed, they will catch them all in one fell swoop, otherwise the person will run away before they can catch him. That would be troublesome. However, the imperial mausoleum is quite far from the capital, and the truth will only come out in a few days. I am afraid that the person will run away before the result is revealed.

So now Gu Junqing and the others unanimously agreed that after the truth comes out, they will temporarily not tell anyone other than them, in order to keep it secret, and then reveal it when the time is right, and then whatever they do will be justified.

In fact, it is correct to say that this matter is flawless, and it is also correct to say that it is full of loopholes.

The premise for perfection is that there is no betrayal, and the reason for full of loopholes is that someone has betrayed you.

The mastermind behind the murder probably didn't expect that leaving Ye Er behind would actually lead to his being caught. He must be regretting why he didn't get rid of Yesha Temple himself.

Ye Er was not locked up in the Dali Temple's secret cell. After all, there had been too many assassinations in the past few days. It would be too dangerous and a waste of time and energy to keep Ye Er there. So after everyone's unanimous discussion, Ye Er was temporarily placed in the General's Mansion's secret cell.

Gu Junqing had no objection to this.

Several more guards were sent to watch Ye Er in the secret cell, in case this man died suddenly, there would be one less witness, which would be a loss.

In the past few days, Gu Junqing had hardly any meals in the general's mansion. He usually had a simple meal in the General's Dali Temple or somewhere else, and then started a new round of busyness.

It was not until three days later that the clues and evidence found by the prison warden and the Dali Temple pointed to one person, the prince Qing who was guarding the imperial mausoleum far away.

The only people who knew the news were those around the emperor. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple had always been loyal to the royal family, so he obeyed all of Qi Yunjin's orders.

The Dali Temple Shaoqing had almost perfectly fulfilled whatever the emperor said. Gu Junqing also knew who the Dali Temple Shaoqing was, so he was not too defensive against him and was willing to tell him everything, of course, these were all about Prince Qing or clues.

On the third day after the incident, when the emperor felt that everything was almost done, Gu Junqing retreated behind the scenes and watched the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple and the Director of the Prison Department, Chen You, lay out all the clues and evidence they had found during this time in the court and inform everyone in the court.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

It seemed that no one had expected that the Prince of Qing, who was far away in the imperial mausoleum, would actually send people to cause such a scandal at the birthday banquet of Duke Ye.

What was the point of him doing this? Was it just to embarrass everyone at the banquet? Or was there another purpose?

No matter what the purpose is, it is best to catch the person.

As for those who were opposed, uncertain, or other members of the emperor's party in the court, no one paid any attention to them. In short, after all this was announced, no matter who the people in the court were, they were afraid that Prince Qing would not be able to be saved, and he would probably end up like Prince An Qi Anyi.

After Yongning Marquis brought Qi Anyi back to the capital and was thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor, there has been no news about Qi Anyi since then. No one knows how Qi Anyi is doing now. In short, life is not easy, and now there is also a Prince Qing.

The emperor was ruthless and showed no mercy to his brothers and younger brothers.

Everyone in the court thought so in their hearts, and looking at Qi Yunjin who was sitting at the top with a faint smile listening to their chattering, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This emperor is more than twice as strong as the previous one. In short, he is not someone you will easily mess with.

Many people thought so, and the originally noisy court suddenly became quiet.

They didn't know that the emperor had already sent people to guard Prince Qing near the imperial mausoleum, waiting to capture him as soon as he made any movement.

They didn't know, so many people went to ask.

However, the unanimous answer from the emperor was that there was no need to worry, as he had his own way.

Everyone present was a smart person, and naturally some of them could guess what the emperor's plan was. Now that they had guessed it, they looked at the emperor's calm and majestic appearance again, and their hearts trembled again.

Then they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qi Yunjin.

This was the third time they realized that the emperor's methods were mysterious and decisive, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony finally quieted down. Gu Junqing, who was standing among these ministers, sighed silently in his heart.

Then he casually raised his eyes, wanting to see Duke Shen and Lord Yu standing opposite him, but he did not see their backs. Instead, he was startled by the emperor who had been staring at him for who knows how long. Startled, Gu Junqing immediately lowered his head like the other ministers present, his heart pounding.

Maybe he was scared.

Gu Junqing comforted himself in this way in his heart, but he was no longer as casual as before and did not even dare to raise his head.

I always felt that Qi Yunjin might still be staring at her head.

Gu Junqing, who was feeling embarrassed, didn't know where to look. He lowered his eyes to look at the ground, but out of the corner of his eye he seemed to see someone winking at him.

Gu Junqing raised his head slightly out of curiosity, but did not look up. Instead, he followed Yu Guangzhong's line of sight and finally saw Duke Ye, with whom he had discussed the case not long ago.

Gu Junqing's eyes flashed, not knowing what Duke Ye wanted to reveal in his eyes.

Duke Ye just glanced at her twice and then didn't look at her any more, lowering his head. Gu Junqing was confused, but didn't show it on his face. He thought to himself that after the court session, he would go to Duke Ye to ask what was going on.

The entire morning court revolved around Prince Qing, but the emperor became impatient listening to it and glanced in Li Yuan's direction. Li Yuan understood immediately and asked in a shrill voice, "Besides this, is there anything else you want to report?"

The ministers who were planning to talk endlessly finally gave up reluctantly and turned the topic to other things.
