Prostitution

Fifty dead bodies were unearthed from the barren grave, causing an uproar in the capital.

The place is damp, and most of them have been turned into bones, and the newer one with a decapitated body has also been changed beyond recognition.

On that day, the stench lingered for a long time, and everyone present covered their noses and vomited.

From then on, Xu Jingyun seemed to be surrounded by corpse gas for several days, and he looked miserable.

Qu Tongyin wasn't worried that he would be frightened by a pile of corpses, he guessed that he didn't expect the prince to be so lawless.

"What can we find?" Qu Tongyin asked.

The emperor ordered Xu Jingyun to collect supporting evidence. He went out again today, and his expression was even more serious now.

"There is no Nanfeng Hall in the commercial street, and all the young ladies who served in the palace before are gone." Xu Jingyun sighed, "Now I found one, and I have already brought it to ask for a confession. He said that he witnessed the prince taking someone's head with his own eyes. According to time speculation, it is the corpse that has not completely decomposed."

Qu Tongyin understood his worry.

The prince saved his life, but the emperor wanted him to investigate, so he was in a dilemma.If the prince cannot be convicted, he will have to bear the charge of false accusation.

"The emperor handed this case over to the three divisions for joint trial. He intends to find out conclusive evidence. You don't have to blame yourself too much. You should check how you want, and don't force yourself if you can't find it."

Qu Tongyin failed to give a practical opinion.In fact, he couldn't understand Yuan Cheng's thoughts, so he would put him to death and come back to life?I'm afraid I'm only afraid of being trapped in a cocoon.

Xu Jingyun's expression seemed to slow down when he heard the words,

"The Yushitai has been urging when the prince will be interrogated. What do you think?"

Qu Tongyin's eyes flashed, instead of looking forward and backward, it is better to ask the person involved, "Then let's arraign, so as to save you and me from thinking hard and mistake the prince's meaning."

When the guards came to report, Yuan Cheng was snuggling up with Mr. Wen in the water pavilion.

Spring flowers are in full bloom in the palace, and the two chat and laugh happily.

Obviously, this matter came at an inopportune time. It was like sunbathing under the flowers and it was a disaster.

How can a person who can be treated as a criminal have the right to keep people out, and it is an honor to parade him in the street without putting on wooden shackles.

There are still good things outside the mansion, and the people are hiding and hiding. As soon as the prince stepped out of the mansion, the surroundings immediately scattered, and they all rushed to tell each other.

ridiculous!ridiculous!

In the main hall of Dali Temple, the three divisions sit together on a high platform.

It is not good to set up the court, but it is in Dali Temple.The intention here is really hilarious.

Yuan Cheng stood still, secretly laughing.

"Come here, give me a seat." Lord Yushi and Yan Shanmu still respected his status as King Huaijing.

There was a smile on the corner of Yuan Cheng's mouth, and it seemed that he would cooperate with this interrogation.

The sitting posture is what a prince should have, his back is only a little straighter than usual, casual and respectful.

Lord Yushi is not used to using gavels, so to put it bluntly,

"Can the prince plead guilty?"

Yuan Cheng almost laughed out loud,

"May I ask Lord Yushi, what crime did this king commit?"

Lord Yushi was stunned for a moment, and looked left and right.

Qu Tongyin then spoke,

"The crime of dereliction of duty and breaking the law to neglect human life, the fifty corpses outside the city are the evidence."

Yuan Cheng showed a surprised expression, then looked at Xu Jingyun,

"I heard that Master Xu accused me of killing innocent people indiscriminately. May I ask Master Xu, did you see it with your own eyes? Besides, since Master Xu testified, it might be against the rules for him to stand on the high hall as a witness."

Lord Yushi hurriedly answered, "Until this case is settled, the emperor specially ordered Master Xu to take the post of Minister of Dali Temple temporarily."

Yuan Cheng said in a very long voice, "Then Master Xu has ever witnessed this king murder and cover up his body?"

Xu Jingyun froze and didn't know how to answer. He didn't see the prince digging a pit to bury his body.

Seeing this, Qu Tongyin had no choice but to help him out, "Why does the lord need to do it himself, but can the lord explain why he has appeared in the place where the corpses are buried so many times?"

Hearing this, Yuancheng frowned, and moved his body, "The three adults may not believe it, but my king went outing, but who knows it's a cemetery." Immediately, the subject changed, "But the last time was last year. Qingming, why do you say so many times?"

"My lord has been there once a year for the past three years, and the people passing by can attest that the black and white letters have also been marked." There were many papers on the hall case, and the censor pointed a few times with his fingers.

Yuan Cheng lowered his eyes, and suddenly became depressed, "I have nothing to say." Who told him to go to that place every Qingming to lament his glorious history of killing people.

Lord Yushi beamed with joy, "My lord has pleaded guilty."

Yuan Cheng raised his eyes and smiled slyly,

"What kind of crime do you confess? If you are guilty of passing through the cemetery, you adults will be in trouble again. Although that place is inaccessible, it does not mean that no one has visited it."

Lord Yushi was speechless, knowing that the prince was sophistry and had nothing to do with him, he grabbed the gavel and slapped him heavily in desperation,

"Heir to prove Zhang Huai!"

A frail young man timidly went to court.

Yuan Cheng glanced at it lightly, but had no impression at all.

"Zhang Huai, I want to ask you, the suspect you put on the confession can be in court right now!"

The young man flinched, his eyes full of fear and anxiety, he quickly glanced at Yuan Cheng, "Yes, it's King Huai Jing."

"Does the prince still recognize this person?" Qu Tongyin asked.

"I don't know."

"He testified that the prince beheaded his fellow countryman Cui Minghe with a sword in the Xiangge of the Wangfu a year ago, and his head was in a different place, which matched one of the corpses in the place where the prince went out."

Yuan Cheng looked sideways at the young man, still not impressed, but he was able to describe the matter in such detail, presumably he was there that day.

Yuan Cheng smiled, looking at the boy with tender eyes,

"Have you seen that corpse? Are you sure it's from your hometown?"

The young man suddenly raised his head, and it seemed that there were countless needles hidden in the eyes of the prince, all of which pierced into his heart at this moment, he was shocked and began to tremble.

This question also caused the three people on the high platform to look at each other in blank dismay.

Yuan Cheng got up at this moment, and casually straightened his sleeves,

"This case seems to have a lot of doubts. If there is no real evidence, this king will deny it at all."

He straightened his sleeves, bowed his body, glanced at the high platform, and said kindly,

"The servants of the guards in the palace can be taken for interrogation. I have no second choice. What else do you want to ask, my lords?"

"Dali Temple just invited the prince away."

"Please go? No wooden shackles!"

"No, I don't think those officials dare to offend the prince."

"Of course, before you are convicted, you have to be honored as a prince."

"I don't know if I can come back this time. Dali Temple doesn't have any evidence, so how dare you interrogate the prince easily!"

"Look again, let's go~"

In the current capital, the movements of the palace have become a topic of discussion for all kinds of people.No matter if you are timid or shy, you don't have to risk yourself, because there are always a few people who are more curious than life and death hiding around the palace, and others just sit and wait at home, and the street spreads to the end of the alley. It will always reach their ears.

Lian Qi heard this conversation clearly, and felt a little anxious.

After running away for a while, he looked again, and Xie Wancheng had long since disappeared.

There is a saying that it is not that a family does not belong to a family.

After the prince left, Mr. Wen, who was lying on the couch with a book covering his face, got up and ran towards the ancient forest.

Relying on the vague impression, he finally found the location of the forest house.

Then Xie Wancheng had waited desperately, so he was annoyed at the beginning,

"You can't crawl!"

Wen Wuyu was out of breath, so he gave him a cold look and decided not to care.

"What do you want me to do, tell me quickly." Xie Wancheng was impatient, and outside there was Lian Qi who was looking for him all over the world.At such a sensitive moment, as long as you think about it, you can think that he disappeared for no reason and must take the opportunity to sneak into the palace.

"No need. You look for a chance to escape, don't stay in the capital."

Wen Wuyu's breath was still uncertain during his speech.

"What?" Xie Wancheng turned cold, "I didn't take such a risk to come here to hear what you said."

"Brother, I don't want you to take risks."

Xie Wancheng squatted down, and then simply sat on the ground,

"I don't care, I won't leave if you don't tell me."
