Chapter 170 Start the investigation
Gao An has always wanted to handle major cases and make great contributions. This time, he got what he wanted.
Hu Yueying is not as excited as Gao An. If such a big case is not investigated properly, the entire Feiwei Mansion will fall into it.
She said seriously: "What about your Majesty now?"
"It's no big deal."
"That's good."
Feng Tang, Chu Ren, and Yan Wen all breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Ren slapped the table with a cold expression and said in a deep voice: "No matter who dares to use witchcraft to murder the emperor, he deserves to die!"
"Old Chu is right! Even the prince..."
Before Gao An finished speaking, Yan Wen suddenly spoke, "It is too early to assert that it was done by the prince."
"But Your Highness said that the entire palace only found witchcraft in the East Palace!"
"Even so, it cannot be ruled out that someone framed him. If Your Majesty didn't think so, why bother to issue an order to let me investigate the Feiwei Mansion?"
Gao An blinked his eyes, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought.
Feng Tang said, "Go to the East Palace! Instead of sitting here and making random suspicion, it is better to go to the spot to take a look."
Li Yuzheng had this intention and said, "Yes! We should really go to the East Palace."
Eastern Palace.
As soon as Li Yu and his group arrived at the East Palace, they were received by Li Ju.
However, Li Ju did not see anyone else, only Li Yu.
In the study, the two brothers sat across the desk.
The eunuch on the side poured a cup of tea for Li Ju and Li Yu each, then left the study room, and deliberately closed the door.
Li Ju looked at Li Yu and asked, "Does Seventeenth Brother still trust your elder brother?"
Li Yu nodded.
"Does the seventeenth brother think that the poison in the father's emperor is the big brother's hand?"
Li Yu shook his head.
Li Ju's eyes turned red and he smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that even the father didn't trust me anymore, only Seventeen still trusted me."
Li Yu finally spoke, "Brother is not someone who can do such a thing."
His words almost made Li Ju cry.
Li Yu frowned and asked, "Does my brother have any object of doubt? Who would use this method to blame my brother?"
Li Ju took a deep breath, his eyes drooped, and asked quietly: "Who proposed to search the East Palace?"
When Li Yu heard this, his eyes flashed.
Third brother Li Lie!
The first person to propose missing the Eastern Palace was King Yan Li Lie!
Li Yu asked in surprise: "Brother is suspicious of the third brother!"
Li Ju smiled bitterly.
He was not suspicious, but was certain that this matter was absolutely inseparable from Li Lie.
He always knew that Li Lie was eyeing his position as crown prince and was making various plans behind his back.
But no matter what, he never expected that Li Lie would be willing to slap his father in order to frame him.
In order to get the position of crown prince, this man has reached the point of being crazy and doing everything he can do.
Li Yu fell into deep thought.
Through Li Lie, he thought of Tianji Dao.
Through Tianji Dao, he thought of the Illusion Reality.
Through Huanzhen, he thought of Gu Dao again.
If Li Lie is really making a secret arrangement, then the whole thing will be perfectly closed.
Seeing Li Yu's eyes rolling and silent, Li Ji asked, "Seventeen, have you thought of something?"
Li Yu shook his head.
Even though he had begun to doubt Li Lie, he could not say these words.
He remembered Lu Fang's advice to him.
Before you have real evidence, don’t talk nonsense, don’t make any guesses, and everything is spoken with evidence.
He said quietly: "I just think that the eldest brother's words are too shocking. The eldest brother and the third brother are the same mother!"
The eldest, Li Ju, the second, Li Deng, and the third, Li Lie, were both born to the early empress and were brothers of the same father and mother.
"Haha...haha..."
Li Ju first chuckled, then turned into a laugh on his back.
He smiled and tears fell down, and said to the sky: "A mother! What a brother of a mother!"
Now, the one who wants to kill him the most is the brothers of these two mothers!
Looking at Li Yu's current appearance, Li Yu felt sad.
He sniffed, turned his head away, and whispered: "Brother takes this opportunity to rest more and take good care of his health. I will do my best to investigate the matter."
Li Ju nodded slowly.
He did not have much hope for Li Yu's investigation of the case.
Since Li Lie dared to do this, he would definitely do it very cleanly and would not leave any traces.
But now, he can only pin his hopes on Li Yu.
Because, except for him, his youngest brother, no one will sincerely help him.
The kings are like a group of hungry wolves.
They were all waiting for him, the prince to fall, and rushed forward to eat everything he left behind.
Li Yu left Li Ju and came to Chengjiao Hall in the East Palace.
Now, Gao An, Hu Yueying, Chu Ren, Yan Wen, Feng Tang and others are all here.
People stood around a table, and on the table, the black jar was placed.
Seeing Li Yu approaching, everyone intervened and bowed, saying in unison: "Your Highness!"
“Is there any clue?”
"Your Highness, this is indeed a jar for raising Gu."
Yan Wen said affirmatively.
He pointed to the little wooden man again and said, "The worm he developed is indeed a bloodline gu."
Li Yu asked: "Old Yan has a lot of research on Gu Dao?"
Chu Ren introduced: "Your Highness doesn't know anything. When Lao Yan was young, he was a master of Gu Dao. Later, when he got older, he stopped raising Gu."
Li Yu asked: "Does Mr. Yan know how long it takes to nourish bloodline Gu?"
"Seventy-seven forty-nine days."
"The bloodline Gu in the father's father will not last for at most two days. When it is added together, it will be about fifty days."
He murmured, then turned to look at the eunuch guarding the side and said, "Hu Wei!"
"I'm here!"
Hu Wei was one of Li Ju's personal eunuchs.
"You go and check it out. Fifty days ago, who were on duty in the East Palace? Give me a detailed list."
"Your Highness, the scope is..."
"I want all the eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and their list."
"Yes! I'll check it now!"
Hu Wei responded quickly and ran out quickly.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Hu Wei came back trotting, holding a stack of paper in his hand.
He said breathlessly: "Your Highness, this is the list of everyone!"
Li Yu took it and there were more than ten pieces of paper, each with names written on it.
He asked while looking through, "Are these people in the East Palace now?"
Hu Wei said: "Report to Your Highness, there are several guards who are on the go and are not in the Eastern Palace now."
Li Yu looked up and looked at Hu Wei.
Whether it is the imperial palace or the Eastern Palace, there are houses dedicated to the guards.
Even if they don’t work, most of them will live in their houses.
Hu Wei quickly explained: "Your Highness, these guards are all in the capital."
"oh."
Li Yu asked, "Tag out the names of them for me."
Hu Wei immediately took the pen and ink and quickly marked the names of eight people on the guards' list.
Li Yu looked at Gao An and Hu Yueying and asked, "General Gao, General Hu, what do you think should be investigated next?"
