The general and I form a pair

After all, today's banquet was dull.According to the scriptures, this banquet is only complete if something exciting happens.It's just that it's getting late now, and the banquet is almost over, but nothing happened.

Ah Qing rubbed her sore knees, and yawned boredly, wanting to go back to sleep.

At this moment, an old eunuch walked up to Cheng Kangdi with a solemn expression and whispered a few words, and Cheng Kangdi's face changed dramatically, and he returned to normal in an instant.

Manager Li knew that something was wrong and announced that the banquet was over.Everyone also said that it was getting late, and it was time for the banquet to end, so they left one by one without thinking too much.

On the contrary, Ah Qing took a second look, feeling suspicious in his heart.

He couldn't care less about matters in the palace, so he dragged Gu Yan out.At this time, the old eunuch came again.

"Major General, Your Majesty's honor, and the young man beside you."

Ah Qing was surprised for a moment, and thought to himself, could it be that the old emperor wants to settle accounts after Qiu Hou.

He held Gu Yan's hand tremblingly, and muttered in a low voice: "Major General, I'm all for you, you can't push me to block the thunder."

Gu Yan's hand paused: "No, never."

He said it seriously, as if he was promising something.Ah Qing glanced at him strangely, seeing that his expression was normal, she felt that she was thinking too much.

They are just acting.

When he got to Chengde Hall, Ah Qing felt that he really thought too much.Apart from the major general and himself, several princes were also there, as well as the abbot of Huguo Temple and several young monks.

The old emperor didn't settle accounts after autumn, but something really happened.

"God, this is a fatality!" Ah Qing hid behind Gu Yan, and peeped. "Still a monk."

Taking a closer look, he was still a familiar monk.

"Major General, the monk I met earlier is this one."

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch pointed at Ah Qing and said: "The slave was watching from a distance, Master Jing'an was talking to this young master, it seems that Master Jing'an bumped into this young master..."

Ah Qing originally wanted to shrink back and watch the excitement, but before the melon seeds were taken out, the matter was on his head.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Yan comforted.

At this moment, Emperor Chengkang's gaze also fell on Ah Qing, and the emperor's gaze made Ah Qing's thin body tremble.

"Tell me."

Cheng Kangdi stared at him for a long time, then slowly opened his mouth.

Ah Qing hurriedly knelt down and said: "The grass people were enjoying the flowers and the moon and the scenery by the river. This Master Jing'an appeared out of nowhere and almost drove the grass people into the river. Fortunately, the grass people were stable, and they were in danger. It’s worth it, if not, I’d be a drowned rat long ago.”

"Master Jing'an also knew that he offended the grass people, and apologized to the grass people. He said that he was anxious, and went the wrong way, and went to the small garden by mistake. The grass people also said that Master Jing'an should be more careful. The roads in the palace are complicated, if you take the wrong one, you will not be able to get back. Master Jing'an even thanked the grass people."

"Well, that's it, there's nothing to add."

A Qing finished speaking and nodded.

Cheng Kangdi stared at him for a while again, without speaking.

Ah Qing's scalp was numb from being stared at by him, and he was right.

"Oh, Cao Min said with emotion at the time, it's really rare to see a kind-hearted person like me."

Puchi...

Someone couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Father, look, let him explain the scene of the crime. He is good, like a storyteller, admiring the flowers and the moon and the scenery, and boasting that he is kind, but he is genuine."

After Li Mu finished speaking, no one responded, but Cheng Kangdi glared at him instead.

"You talk too much."

Li Mu shrank his head, stepped aside and did not speak.

That's right, the abbot of Huguo Temple's disciple died, and he was still in the mood to laugh, isn't he stupid?Ah Qing cursed.

"Do you know that Master Jing'an died in the small garden?" Cheng Kangdi asked.

"This... the grassroots don't know."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." It was still the little eunuch who identified Ah Qing just now.

"Say."

"This son and Master Jing'an were pushing and shoving, and the servant saw it. After the son left, Master Jing'an suddenly fell to the ground and fell unconscious. The slave also saw clearly that besides the son, Master Jing'an Never met anyone else."

Ah Qing frowned and said: "You little steward, you are so far away, how did you hear what I said to Master Jing'an? Besides, where is there any pushing and shoving, you are probably delusional. Talking nonsense is not good. Get used to it."

"Also, let me ask you, is it the body of Master Jing'an that you found?"

"Yes."

"Then it's over. If you are the last person to see Master Jing'an, you are right. Who can guarantee that you didn't do anything wrong."

"Here, the emperor clearly learned that the servant was with Xiao Dezi from the imperial dining room at that time, and he can prove that the servant did not lie."

Xiao Dezi stepped forward to reply, which was exactly the same as what the little eunuch said.

"Your Majesty, even if Master Jing'an met Ah Si before his death, but the two of them have never met, Ah Si has no motive for committing the crime." Gu Yan said.

Cheng Kangdi nodded.

At this time, Ah Qing also understood that this was intentionally pouring dirty water on him.

But as Gu Yan said, he had no motive for committing the crime, even if he had a dispute with Master Jing'an, he would not commit murder. This motive is untenable.

At this time, Wu Zuo also finished examining Master Jing'an's body.

"Your Majesty, I have carefully examined it many times. Master Jing'an must have died of a sudden heart attack."

"Master, Brother Jing'an has always had heart disease, and seizures are common, maybe it's just a coincidence." The little monk Jinghui said.

Master Wuming nodded: "Everything has a predestined relationship, so please don't be troubled by it, Your Majesty."

"There must be some reason for the sudden onset of heart disease, for example, being stimulated." Li Duan looked at Ah Qing, as if telling everyone that Master Jing'an had a dispute with him that caused the heart disease.

Cheng Kangdi's gaze also fell on Ah Qing.

Ah Qing's heart skipped a beat.

If you had to say that, Ah Qing couldn't argue with a hundred words.After all, there was a little eunuch behind him pointing at him and saying that he pushed and shoved Master Jing'an.

but……

"The second prince's words are wrong. Caomin claims to have a very good temper, and especially respects monks. But Caomin also has a little doubt. All the masters are chanting sutras for the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Why is Master Jing'an the only one?" Man, ran to Yilan Hall?"

"If you say you lost your way, you shouldn't have detoured so far."

"Before the Yilan Temple, whether Master Jing'an met someone else or what happened, these have not been investigated clearly."

Li Mu struggled for a long time, and finally interjected: "Yes, Father, A Si is right, the Hall of Peaceful Harmony is eighty feet away from the Hall of Yilan, and Master Jing'an walked to the Hall of Yilan when he was chanting sutras." , it was suspicious."

Although he didn't want to see Ah Si, who made him Gu Yan's guardian.

Li Duan said again: "If you say that, everything is too coincidental. Master Jing'an walked to the small garden of Yilan Palace, and happened to meet Mr. Asi by the river. The two parties were still a little unhappy, and then Master Jing'an passed away suddenly. Maybe, Master Jing'an and Mr. Asi are old acquaintances."

What the second prince said was even more intriguing.Well, anyway, the dirty water must be poured on himself.

"Brother Second Emperor's words are biased. Just like Master Jinghui said, maybe everything is just a coincidence." Said the sixth prince Li Ji who had never spoken.

"Father, Master Wuming also said that Master Jing'an has a heart attack. This heart attack is sudden, but it may not be blamed on anyone."

"The Sixth Highness is right. After all, there are too many possibilities on the road from Taihe Hall to Yilan Hall. If you have to check carefully, you can ask the palace guards along the way to identify them. During such a long journey, there will always be a few people. Rotating guards, maids on duty at night or eunuchs. There will always be someone who sees something. Right, Second Highness." Gu Yan said.

"Young General Gu is justified, but fortunately, His Highness has issued an order to order all the palace people to stay put and not to move around without permission. If the emperor wants to investigate, he can do so at any time." Li Duan said.

"Today is my father's birthday. My son thinks it is inappropriate to say something like this happened. Envoys from all over the world gathered in Beijing. If it gets out, it will damage the prestige of the country. From my son's point of view, it is better to ask Master Wuming to preside over Jingan first." What happened after the master's death. As for the reason why Master Jing'an suddenly had a heart attack, if my father can trust my son and minister, and let my son investigate the matter privately, I will definitely give my father and Master Wuming a satisfactory answer." Li Jizhong agreed. Said.

Li Duan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, because he was impatient and forgot that today is special.

"Father, it's because my son didn't think carefully, but it's really troublesome to investigate this matter. My son is willing to investigate with the sixth brother. I hope that the sixth brother will not despise the second brother for being reckless."

Li Jiping smiled peacefully: "How could it be, Second Emperor Brother is worrying too much."

Ah Qing watched these two going back and forth, feeling very bored.He glanced at Monk Jing'an on the stretcher through the gap, and thought carefully about the situation when he met him.

At that time, he was indeed flustered, his complexion didn't look very good, and his eyes were a little dodgy.Although Wu made the verification because of a sudden heart attack, and Master Wuming also confirmed this matter.But the cause of death is one thing, and the cause of death is another.

It was also Li Duan's previous words that gave Ah Qing a reminder.Ah Qing was sure that this monk Jing'an must have encountered something before he met him.Maybe he really has old acquaintances in this palace, maybe.

"May I ask Master Wuming, when did Master Jing'an enter Huguo Temple?" Ah Qing asked suddenly.

"Jing'an, it's been almost five years. He was a refugee accidentally rescued by the poor monk on his way to Henan. Jing'an has a lot of wisdom, and he fell in love with the poor monk. And his family had a change, and there was only one person left. The poor monk took pity on what happened to him, so he took him back to Huguo Temple."

"Another five years." Ah Qing muttered to himself.

"Jing'an's health has never been good, he already knew it. If his fate is like this, he can't blame others." Master Wuming called a few monks to carry Jing'an's body out.

Emperor Chengkang glanced at Jing'an, and said quietly: "If you take the wrong road in this palace, you really can't go back."

For a while, Ah Qing didn't understand the meaning of Cheng Kangdi's words.

However, he had been with Wuchen for a long time, and he knew a little bit about it. He knew that next Huguo Temple would hold a consecration ceremony for Monk Jing'an, and then send it to the temple's incarnation kiln for cremation, and then collect the ashes and place them in the Haihui Pagoda.And once the body is cremated, all traces will disappear.

But Ah Qing believed that the death of Monk Jing'an must be unusual.

As for the result of the investigation, it will inevitably deviate from the original intention and become a partisan dispute between the two princes.

Just as Ah Qing frowned and thought, Li Duan spoke.

"Father, this Mr. Asi is the only one involved. My son thinks, take Mr. Asi into custody for now."

"Why?"

It was Gu Yan who spoke.
