Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

After hearing these words, the faces of the people in the yard changed, and they quickened their pace to see what was going on.

When we arrived outside Lieutenant General Chen's house, we saw a soldier holding a straw doll full of needles in fear. He didn't know whether to keep it or throw it away.

The prince came out of nowhere and asked, "Did you find this in Deputy General Chen's house?"

"That's right, that's right. There are several inner-city soldiers watching us. They can testify that we didn't do anything wrong." said the imperial guards.

The attendant beside the prince took the straw doll and examined it carefully, saying, "There's something on it."

"Read." said the prince.

"In just ten years, the great fortune of the Great Lake has flourished and then declined, and then finally run out of luck."

"Impossible! How could I possibly curse the Daze Kingdom?" Lieutenant General Chen gasped as blood rushed to his forehead.

"Someone framed me."

Qiao Dacheng said solemnly, "Lieutenant General Chen's room is located in the inner part of the military office. Who would easily come in and put something like this in your room?"

At this time, two more soldiers came out of Ponda's room, also holding an identical straw doll.

"There is also one in Pang Mu-shi's living quarters."

Pang Da was originally very nervous and prayed in his heart that he would never encounter such a thing. Unexpectedly, it was actually found out.

He suddenly became anxious, gesticulating and making excuses, almost unable to speak clearly.

The prince said calmly, "They wrote the same thing. It seems that you two, master and servant, are truly of one mind."

"Big Brother, how do you think we should handle this kind of thing?"

The eldest prince is still a little dazed. This search was clearly aimed at the Qiao family, but he never expected that his people would suffer one after another.

He took the straw doll and looked at the words on it. His cheeks twitched and anger and hatred surged in his heart.

"This is printed text. I can't tell whose handwriting it is. It can't be used as proof."

"If that's the case, then anyone who writes something treasonous in the future, as long as they use printed words, can get away with it without being convicted."

The prince said slowly: "Even if we search it from the bedroom."

"No matter how bold Lieutenant General Chen and Staff Pang are, they wouldn't dare to do such a treasonous act. Someone must have framed them."

The eldest prince looked at the crown prince, his eyes dark and complicated, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I was wondering why they suddenly thought of searching the inner army headquarters. It turns out someone had already made arrangements and was just waiting to lure you into a trap."

"Big brother, are you targeting me? You have no evidence whatsoever and are trying to turn the tables on me. What's the difference between this and making unreasonable demands and confusing right and wrong?" The prince maintained an attitude of being innocent.

The prince waved his hand and said, "Arrest them both. Cases like this must be tried jointly by the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate. If there is a mastermind behind this, we can investigate more thoroughly."

With his order, Master Pei's imperial guards and the Qiao family army went to arrest the man.

"I'll see who dares."

The eldest prince gave a look and his men stood in front of the two of them.

However, the Crown Prince had made preparations early and outnumbered them, so even if they were not in a hurry, it still made the First Prince feel uneasy.

"These two are suspected of cursing the fate of the nation. Are you deliberately shielding them, my dear brother?" The Crown Prince's expression grew serious, and he chuckled, "My dear brother, you should know exactly what you are doing."

"I simply wanted to prevent the Crown Prince from distorting right and wrong and convicting someone based on evidence that appeared out of nowhere. This would be too hasty and unfair to Deputy General Chen and the other two. Yet, the Crown Prince accused me of deliberately shielding them. He's always looking for excuses to accuse someone, or perhaps he's long disliked me and wants to take this opportunity to trip me up."

"Second brother, you are wrong. The evidence was found in their bedroom. This is a fact that cannot be denied. Therefore, we need to conduct a thorough investigation. This should be correct."

The eldest prince was choked by this and simply said to General Lin: "General Lin, they are your people and may be slandered. Do you want to watch them be taken away?"

General Lin's expression was already very unhappy after finding such a sensitive thing in his subordinate's bedroom.

"Throughout the dynasties, witchcraft has been taboo. The Emperor has repeatedly issued orders that such practices are forbidden in any corner of the Great Ze State. If this matter is handled lightly, it would appear that I am shielding someone. We must investigate thoroughly. If they are wrongfully accused, we will clear their name. If they truly have ill intentions, they will receive the punishment they deserve."

The two knew that once they were tried by the three judges, it would be difficult for them to get out, and they looked at the eldest prince desperately for help.

The eldest prince was in a dilemma. It was impossible to easily resolve the matter of finding a straw doll in public. Once Lieutenant General Chen was taken away, the power of the 40,000 troops under his command might be soon taken away.

The Qiao family's 30,000 elite soldiers had already been wasted, and now these 40,000 would also be in vain.

This taught him how to be willing.

But he could no longer find a reason, and he did not have enough people to stop it. If he insisted on stopping it, he would appear suspicious.

I had no choice but to say, "You haven't cursed the fate of the Great Ze Kingdom, so you will definitely not make a wrong judgment. You will even find out those who slandered you. Go and cooperate with the investigation first."

Seeing that the eldest prince said this, the two of them were dejected, but the eldest prince's meaning, hinting that he would rescue them, made them feel more at ease.

Deputy General Chen and Pang Da were taken away. The eldest prince's aura was depressed, and his eyes were full of sinisterness.

The Imperial Guards and the Qiao Family Army continued to search other rooms thoroughly, and even the spacious training grounds and major barracks were carefully checked. They found nothing, so they left.

It’s the eldest prince’s turn, Qiao Jianer thought.

The eldest prince will definitely not punish him as severely as Lieutenant General Chen and Pang Da, so at least he can take a fall.

The prince returned to the palace with the imperial guards, and the first thing he did was to search each prince's palace.

Act decisively and suddenly.

Before the princes could react, the imperial guards entered the palace.

When the eldest prince saw this action, he felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

"He also wants to search the Prince's Palace. Why didn't the Emperor tell me? Could it be that the Second Prince acted on his own initiative?"

The Crown Prince said, "I have already consulted with the Emperor, Father. Since such filthy things have been found in the Internal Army Headquarters, I am afraid that the palace will also be searched thoroughly. The major princesses' palaces and concubines' palaces will be searched by the female soldiers from Qingfeng's original fiefdom."

The eldest prince took a deep breath. By now, the initiative of this matter had fallen into the hands of the crown prince.

The prince will never let go of this opportunity to make him suffer.

"My palace can be searched by my own people, so there is no need to trouble the prince."

"Big Brother, don't you know that we should avoid suspicion with our own people?"
