The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 44: Longkodo Takes the Blame

Li Yan thought to himself, as a high and mighty prince, he would become an emperor in the future, with five beautiful wives, and beauties from all over the country waiting for his favor, so he couldn't ruin his body, he really couldn't bear to die! I don't know how many people dream of being reborn into a good family, enjoying life in luxury, but it's not possible. I can be reborn many times, which is a blessing earned through tens of thousands of lifetimes.

Thank God!

Ah!
Most importantly, thank the system.

Choose yourself.
After a hard night of riding back and forth for dozens of miles, climbing over walls and killing people, it was really tiring. After a while, Li Yan's snoring could be heard in the room!
When Tulichen and his companions returned to the palace, Kangxi had already gone to court, so they had to wait outside the imperial study. The guards at the door were all familiar to them, and they were looking at Tulichen in surprise. Didn't Tulichen go out on business overnight? I heard that he was going to Ningguta, so how could he come back so soon?

I wanted to ask, but seeing that Tulichen looked like a bereaved family member, with a heavy face and an expression so ugly that it looked like water was about to drip out, I didn't dare to open my mouth.

Inside the Golden Palace!

Li Dequan is proclaiming the imperial edict:
"Minister of Justice Sima Shang and Vice Minister of Justice Huang Tiren are dismissed and arrested. All officials at all levels of government offices in Jiangnan involved in this case are dismissed. Ren Bo'an is dismissed from his post as the Jiangnan Salt Patrol. The main culprit Ren Ji'an is executed immediately! Liu Ba Nu is sentenced to life imprisonment. Zhang Wu Ge is acquitted and appointed as the imperial guard."

In the 46th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, an absurd case occurred in the Qing court where a corrupt official abused his power and used money to buy his life. As the case involved the crown prince, some princes and relevant ministers of the Ministry of Justice, it was very complicated and Emperor Kangxi had to close the case hastily!

Li Dequan's voice continued:

"Eighth Prince Yinsi was very knowledgeable, had proper intentions, and handled matters wisely during the trial of the case of the Ministry of Justice's unjust imprisonment. He is hereby conferred the title of Lian Jun Wang!"

"Your son Yinsi accepts the order and thanks you!" Yinsi was extremely excited and kowtowed to express his gratitude. The other princes around him all looked envious and jealous, wishing they could take his place.

Seeing this, Kangxi looked at one of the princes and said, "Yinzhen, how is your injury?"

"After nearly a month of recuperation, I am now fine. Thank you, Father, for your concern!"

"It's such a pity. If you hadn't been stabbed and participated in the trial, there would be another Prince of Yong in the court today!"

"It's all my bad luck. The thief who hurt me has not been caught yet. I can't blame others!" After the Fourth Prince Yinzhen said this, he looked at the Eighth Prince Yinsi expressionlessly.

The other princes and ministers looked at the Eighth Prince Yinsi, who was in high spirits and looked smug, and then at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who looked gloomy and looked dejected. They all looked at each other, and their eyes communicated with each other covertly and frequently. The meaning in their eyes was self-evident, and finally they all looked at the Eighth Prince Yinsi with deep meaning.

When Yinsi saw that the envious looks from everyone had just turned into something amusing, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over!
Of course, he had long known that everyone was saying that he had sent someone to stab the fourth child, but he had not done it, and he scoffed at such rumors. Hearing that the fourth child was injured by an assassin, he secretly gloated over it! In addition, at that time, he was also thinking about using the case of the Ministry of Justice to bring down the prince, so he didn't take such rumors to heart, but now seeing the way everyone looked at him, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Although it is said that the clear are clear and the turbid are turbid, but when everyone thinks it is you, you are like yellow mud that has fallen into your crotch, and you cannot wash it out even if you jump into the Yellow River.

The way Yinzhen looked at him just now clearly showed that he was convinced of what he had done. Now that he had been granted the title of a prince and was at the peak of his power, he became the biggest beneficiary of the fourth brother's injury.

And the way other people looked at him, it was obvious that they thought the assassin was sent by him!
If the emperor thinks so, then...
When Yinsi thought of this, the joy he had just received the title of Prince disappeared. He raised his head and glanced at the emperor secretly, only to see that the emperor was looking at him expressionlessly. He instantly felt a chill on his back and was confused for a moment.

Yinsi felt that he had fallen into a huge trap. Now everyone in the court believed that the assassin who injured the fourth son was sent by him. Even the loyal ninth son, who had always been on the same side with him, looked at him and told him that he thought so too. Whether he admitted it or not, whether he explained it or not, it seemed to be unimportant!

He swallowed, calmed himself, and wanted to say something.

But I didn't know what to say. Should I just say that the assassin was not sent by me? Even if I said it, who would believe it? But I knew that I had never sent an assassin to do such a thing. How could I explain it to others?

Kangxi saw that the atmosphere in the court had become strange, frowned, and asked, "It's been a month, and the assassin has not been caught yet. What are the officials in Shuntian Prefecture doing? Has the Shuntian Prefecture Governor arrived?"

"Your humble servant, Longkodo, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, kowtows to the emperor!" Longkodo, sweating profusely and with a panicked look on his face, ran to the front and knelt down.

"Longkodo, how is the investigation of the assassin going? How many days has it been?"

"Your Majesty, after the incident, I have sent the most capable investigators to investigate the case in detail." Longkodo raised his head and secretly glanced at Kangxi. He found that Kangxi's face had darkened. He was startled and said anxiously, "We have found some clues and will capture him soon. Please give me some more time, Your Majesty. I will definitely..."

“Grace.”

"It's been a month since the incident. How much longer do you want me to give you?"

Kangxi said with a gloomy face: "I will give you another seven days. If you cannot catch the assassin, you will take off this official uniform and go home to retire!"

"This slave accepts the order!"

Longkodo wailed in his heart. This damn assassin was causing trouble for him and was going to take his life!

You could have assassinated anyone else, but you chose to stab the Fourth Master at this critical moment.

"Could it really be the assassin sent by the Eighth Master? How can I investigate it?" Longkodo thought of this and glanced at the Eighth Master secretly. He saw that the Prince Lian was looking at him with a gloomy face.

He lowered his head immediately
I had finally gone to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, but ended up stinking all over myself and had made some achievements. I was then given the position of Shuntian Prefecture Governor, but before I had even sat on the job for half a year, I was about to lose my job again!

Longkodo was lamenting his bad luck and lost his mind for a moment, when he heard a loud shout!
"What are you doing here? Go investigate the case!"

"嗻"

Longkodo hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the back of the crowd. He didn't dare to stand there any longer. He went straight out of the Golden Throne Hall, walked out of the main hall, sighed in his heart, and walked out of the palace!
