Chapter 74 ?

In the morning court today, Emperor Mingkang saw that Yuan Rang had not come to the morning court, so he asked insincerely, "Where is Master Yuan?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had not woken up, as if he had not heard Emperor Mingkang's words, and his silk was not moving at all.

Emperor Mingkang glanced at him, but didn't look into it. He asked again with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

An official from the lineage of the great ministers came out and replied respectfully: "I heard from the emperor that yesterday, Lord Yuan, the eldest son of the Yuan family suddenly suffered a sudden illness and unfortunately passed away. Lord Yuan was heartbroken and heartbroken, and he was in a coma and has not woken up yet."

Emperor Mingkang was not surprised after hearing this, but just said softly, "Yes!"

In fact, he had known about this for a long time. Not only that, he also knew that there were twelve families in the court, and the legitimate son in the family died unexpectedly.

He had also investigated this specifically, but the man's hands and feet were very clean and he had no clues at all. However, even if he didn't find the clues, he was still as comfortable as drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on the dog days of the day. He proposed it in the morning court today, just to sprinkle some salt on the wounds of those ministers.

"Wu Shang, I heard that you had a quarrel with Lord Yuan last night?"

Jia Li was still wandering around the world. When he suddenly heard Emperor Mingkang's words, he was a bit cramped, just like many middle school students were unconsciously nervous after being caught by the teacher in class.

Jia Li glanced at the people last night. It was logical that they would not be able to show them those things, because they were the ones who were plotting to murder themselves first. If they were shaken out, they would be the first to suffer. After all, they would not stand the investigation.

Now Ming Kangdi revealed the situation last night in one sentence. It seems that he had investigated it.

He took action himself last night without leaving any clues. He expected that Emperor Mingkang would not get any clues, but the attacks of these people would be much rougher than Jia Li. If Emperor Mingkang wanted to investigate, he would have gained something.

So what did Emperor Mingkang want to do now? Jia Li used his spiritual sense to carefully observe Emperor Mingkang for a while, without any doubt or murderous intention in his eyes, only a faint excitement.

Jia Li guessed Emperor Mingkang's thoughts, and said calmly: "Go to Your Majesty, yesterday I served as the guard of the imperial concubine, and strictly prevented all kinds of sluts. Last night, I found an assassin disguised as a chef outside the villa in the palace. After being severely questioned by Weichen, I finally got useful news. After a lot of hardships, I arrived at the place where the thieves lived. Unexpectedly, the thieves did not meet. Instead, they met several officials led by Lord Yuan to enjoy the moon and drink. Li just felt a little strange at the time, so he asked a few questions and asked for a few glasses of wine. Unexpectedly, someone said that he had a conflict with Lord Yuan. He was seriously injured by me. I hope the emperor will take charge of the emperor!"

Although Emperor Mingkang knew the trick of this matter, whether it was the eunuch who assassinated Yuanchun, the chef who died in the kitchen, or even Jia Li seemed to be injured, he knew very well that the assassination of someone. The secret guards under his command were not vegetarians, so how could they be hidden from him?

As for the matter of Yuan Rang and the dead in the twelve palaces, although he did not get any information, he knew Jia Li's personality, so how could he just be beaten and not take action? So he guessed that it should be related to Jia Li.

However, he had no intention of pursuing it. If it were Emperor Taikang, he might have checked it, but he wished that all the nobles would be clean, so how could he deal with his great heroes for those nobles!

"Oh, there's something like this?"

The two of them were as agreed, singing and reconciling, and the people who were directly involved in yesterday's incident were trembling!

Emperor Mingkang seemed to have thought of something, and said generously: "I think it's just a coincidence! It must have nothing to do with the adults!"

Jia Li's heart moved. Did Mingkangdi see his plan clearly?

Since ancient times, the inheritance system in large families has always been the inheritance system of the eldest son. This concept is deeply rooted in people's hearts. With the skills of each wife's tribe, those concubines cannot cause trouble even if they have other ideas.

But now, those who have had an accident in these dozen families are the eldest sons, and the Yuan Mansion has made even worse. Yuan made the backbone unconscious, as if he would never wake up.

This huge connection, huge inheritance, and the enviable title are undoubtedly like a piece of fat that exudes fatal temptation. The concubines of the Yuan family are not fuel-efficient. Faced with this generous reward that is enough to make them desperate, no one will watch the sidelines.

Jia Li did not refute Emperor Ming Kang's words, and responded to the situation and returned to the queue.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, his face a little pale, and came to Emperor Mingkang and reported the matter in a low voice!

After hearing this, Emperor Mingkang seemed to remember something and suddenly fell into silence.

The ministers looked at each other and looked confused. What was wrong with Emperor Mingkang?

After a while, Emperor Mingkang said, "I just heard a bad news that Lord Yuan Rangyuan passed away."

Shen Fang's eyes suddenly lit up, and the chill in his eyes brought a little shock. He had always known Yuan Rang's physical condition. If he said that he was angry last night and fainted, there was still some possibility, after all, he was old.

But if Yuan Rang can't stand it, how could it be possible? In the years as a priest, his old friend has experienced so many ups and downs and overcomings. How could a mere legitimate son let him die?

Emperor Mingkang ignored the reaction of the courtiers and continued to say quietly: "I heard from Xu Shi that he was killed by Yuan Ming himself! Lord Yuan suddenly woke up when Yuan Ming picked up his hand and put his handprint on the fake will, and was beheaded by Yuan Ming, who was already crazy."

As soon as he talked about this, Emperor Mingkang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't climb this seat on the hideous road of bones. He was just thinking about this, but he was not as crazy as Yuan Ming. He killed his brother and father, and he could no longer be called a human being!

"Mingyi, go check what's going on?"

Emperor Mingkang returned to the dragon throne, looked at the ministers in the hall, narrowed their eyes and stopped talking. The ministers looked at Emperor Mingkang as if the volcano was about to erupt. They didn't know what to do for a moment, and they all started to make quails, stayed in place, without saying a word.

After a while, Emperor Mingkang suddenly said, "Tell me! Let them listen together!"

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Early this morning, Yuan Zhi sent his confidants to Puji Pharmaceutical Store and bought two kilograms of arsenic through special channels. Yuan Huan went to the Yuan clan elder after learning about Yuan Xu's death. He left half an hour later. Yuan Kai went to the secret market after getting the news and rushed back before dawn. As for Yuan Ming and his young son Yuan Song, there was nothing unusual!"

After hearing this, the ministers were silent. They were not fools. They had already guessed what happened to the Yuan family in this short morning.

Sure enough, the voice continued, "The maid of the mistress Yuan's family was bought by Yuan Zhi. A bowl of tremella seed soup made her see the Buddha she had been worshipping. Yuan Zhi was assassinated in the Xiqian Courtyard, where there were more than a dozen corpses. I think it was probably after a fierce fight. Yuan Huan and Yuan Song were drowned when we were discovered by us. They were first stunned and then sinking to the lake. Who did it was impossible to know, because there were no witnesses in this matter. After that, Yuan Kai met Yuan Ming in the East Qian Courtyard. He didn't know what happened. In the end, only Yuan Ming came out himself. However, when he came out, he was holding a bloody dagger in his hand."

"After that Yuan Ming killed Lord Yuan Rang in the main courtyard, and asked the clan elders who came here to visit to see him, so everyone worked together to tie him up and then reported to the official!"

"What happened so big, there was no sound at all?"

It seemed that it was unreasonable, and an official couldn't help but ask.

The voice was not fluctuating, and he replied: "The servants in the mansion were sent to Yuanxu's yard by Yuanshi. She was there too, but because of excessive sadness, she fainted and was helped back by the maid!"

Hearing this, a few people who were quick to turn their minds had already discovered clues. They simulated such a scene in their minds. "The Yuan family discovered that several concubines had bad intentions in advance, gathered all the servants in the mansion together, and deliberately set up a game of killing two peaches and three soldiers. However, she didn't expect that Yuan Zhi would even kill her, and it was like shooting herself in the foot.

After hearing these words, everyone in the hall fell into silence. If this happened to them, it might not be much better than the Yuan family. I don’t know what they remembered, but the people involved in the incident last night suddenly left the list and knelt down on the ground with a plop.
