Chapter 393: Stripping for Injury Examination
Kong Dezhao revealed the truth.
"That night, Kong Mao went to the Ming Palace to steal something."
Yu Shengsheng was slightly surprised. She never expected this to be the answer.
Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Steal something, what to steal?"
Kong Dezhao moved his arms and said, "Medicine for the wound. The wound on this prince's weapon is poisonous and difficult to cure. There is a rare medicinal material in the Ming Palace that is useful. Kong Mao went to steal it."
He said it so straightforwardly that it didn't sound fake.
Fu Qingyin stared at him: "Why didn't you say it before?"
"What could I say in front of the King that night? Besides, you have no evidence, who would have thought that you would really take him away? Moreover, you have been interrogating him for so long and there is no result, shouldn't you let him go?"
Kong Dezhao said it with confidence.
Fu Qingyin laughed briefly: "It's not reasonable to take it, the prince is really a master at it. Since you want it, why don't you go directly to the King Ming to explain the situation? He has always been open-minded and willing to help others, he will not refuse to give it to you."
Kong Dezhao frowned, looking impatient: "Fu Qingyin, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"Who am I? No matter how helpful he is, can he help me? Will he give me such a precious thing if I ask for it?"
"The court is eager for my death. Do you really not know?"
Yu Shengsheng: “…” That’s really direct.
Fu Qingyin said calmly: "The prince has a clear understanding of himself."
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you will release him or not."
"Since the prince said in person that he stole valuables, I will go back and ask His Majesty the King Ming if he is willing to forgive him. If so, he will be detained for a period of time according to the crime of theft, or he can be released after paying a fine."
"If the prince is unwilling, then that's another matter. That medicine..." Fu Qingyin glanced at Kong Dezhao's wound, "The prince used it, right?"
"There is no way to retreat. We can only wait and see what the prince wants."
Kong Dezhao: “…”
I gritted my teeth and wanted to bite him to death.
"Your Highness," Fu Qingyin turned around and glanced at the official who was about to leave, "I have something important to attend to. Please excuse me."
He turned and walked away. Yu Shengsheng followed him subconsciously, and Kong Dezhao grabbed her arm.
"Prince, what do you want me to do for you?" Yu Shengsheng asked with a raised face.
Kong Dezhao was silent for a while: "He is not a good person, don't get too close to him."
Yu Shengsheng couldn't respond to this sentence and could only bow.
Fu Qingyin looked back and said, "Shengsheng, let's go."
Yu Shengsheng said softly, "Sir, I have something else to do with the commander, so I'll take my leave first."
Kong Dezhao's grip on her arm tightened and then loosened.
Yu Shengsheng passed him by.
Kong Dezhao rolled his throat twice and closed his eyes slightly.
Fu Qingyin raised his voice and said, "Everyone, please stay."
The officials turned around, and those who had reached the entrance of the hall came back.
Fu Qingyin's eyes swept across their faces: "Everyone, I have something else that I would like to ask for your help."
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
Fu Qingyin glanced at Hei Bai, who immediately understood and took people to quickly ask all the female relatives to leave.
Only men were left in the hall.
Fu Qingyin glanced at Yu Shengsheng, who nodded, walked out of the hall and closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, some people panicked.
Yu Shengsheng knew what Fu Qingyin was going to do.
She stood at the bottom of the steps and looked up at the sky.
It’s a really nice day today. The trees in the temple must be many years old. They have grown very tall and have turned yellow, shining like gold.
A breeze blew by, and some flowers fell slowly, carrying the light and shadow from the sunlight, as fluttering as butterflies.
Yu Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this trip was not in vain.
Inside the palace.
Fu Qingyin was calm and composed: "Everyone, take off your clothes."
Everyone: “???”
Thinking I had heard wrongly, someone asked again: "Take off your clothes?"
Lu Xingzhan frowned: "Why?"
Although they were all men, taking off clothes? This was too outrageous.
Fu Qingyin then added: "Just take off your shirt and expose your shoulders."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; at least they were not naked, which would have been too inappropriate.
Lu Xingzhan was still unwilling: "Why?"
Fu Qingyin said nothing, and the Red Dragon Guard stepped forward.
The imposing manner is overwhelming.
Lu Xingzhan was furious, but he had just been rescued, so he couldn't open his mouth to curse.
He angrily began to take off his clothes, as if he had a grudge against every button.
"Okay, take it off, okay?"
As soon as he took off his clothes, others began to take off their clothes one after another.
When Lu Xingzhan finished taking off his clothes and Lu Xiang began to unbutton his clothes, Fu Qingyin spoke again.
"Lu Xiang doesn't need to take it off."
"You don't have to, Censor Li."
He named a few more people.
In fact, what he cared about were those generals. He just wanted to confuse people so that they would not guess the real purpose and avoid any further trouble.
Hei Bai stepped forward and checked them one by one.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that several people had sword wounds on their shoulders.
He couldn't help but frown, and turned around to see that Su Huaiyuan also had it on him.
"General Su, why are you injured?"
Su Huaiyuan sighed: "To be honest, it was Su's carelessness. There was an assassin last night and I was accidentally injured."
"Assassin?" Hei Bai frowned.
He was not at Hongyuan Temple last night, so he didn't know about this.
As soon as Su Huaiyuan said this, the others also said, "Yes, there was an assassin, but he didn't look like an assassin. He looked like he was here to steal something and was looking for something."
Several people had the same reaction.
Fu Qingyin turned the ring lightly and remained silent for a while.
Lu Xiang asked in a low voice: "Commander, what are you looking for?"
Fu Qingyin looked at him and hesitated for a moment: "I am also looking for an assassin."
They cannot be told about the beast-headed man, otherwise it will cause trouble. The prince might then be shaken and wonder if someone has framed him.
The prince was definitely not framed, even if it was a setup, but he did build the dragon throne and dragon robes, and he did kill people in vain.
But the man with the beast's head is not an innocent person either. They must be accomplices.
That person was hit by his sword, and now several people have sword wounds on their bodies. It seems that they are trying to avoid his search.
Fu Qingyin stepped forward and examined their wounds one by one.
"If there is an assassin, why don't you tell us?"
Su Huaiyuan said: "This... is really shameful. As a military commander, I can't even catch an assassin. I really can't say it."
"Besides, there is no other loss, and it is not in the mansion. In the temple, it is better for the prince to have one less thing to burn incense."
Everyone nodded, they all shared his idea.
"Aren't you afraid that this person is dangerous? What if he has some evil intentions that will harm everyone?"
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
Fu Qingyin's face darkened slightly: "Forget it, things have come to this point, there is no need to mention it again."
The door of the hall opened and everyone came out as if nothing had happened.
Take your family and leave quickly.
This is a place I don't want to stay in for even a moment.
Su Huaiyuan came to Yu Shengsheng and said, "Let's go."
Yu Shengsheng lowered his head and said, "General, I have something else to do and cannot leave for the time being."
Su Huaiyuan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Fu Qingyin.
