Chapter 533: Openly Winning Over



A group of people marched towards the house where the bodies were temporarily stored.

At this time, the person who had just been sent to the North City returned and reported: "Your Majesty, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Master Fu did go to the North City. There are witnesses all day long."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Minister Fu is innocent."

The prefect said loudly, "This murder is not about which minister or prince assassinated this person."

He pointed at the corpse and said, "This man was killed by a poisoned arrow in the secret compartment in the attic. The emperor means that whoever is this man's master is the culprit behind this."

The ministers present had already understood this.

The emperor did not want to investigate the murder, but wanted to know who intended to know the contents of his secret decree.

The prefect added, "The current question is how this person got into the Imperial Academy."

While speaking, he looked around as if he was checking who was the biggest suspect.

"He probably came in with a certain Hanlin scholar, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get in so easily."

After a while, the emperor left with Prime Minister Cai and Duke Yan, and all the Hanlin scholars left the palace one after another.

The Eighth Prince echoed, "Lu Wenfeng is a serious person and a pillar of your dynasty. I think your Majesty should promote Lu Wenfeng."

This is common sense.

Fu Aiqing said, "Let's go to Chengwen Building."

For a moment, the scene was noisy.

Yan Funing invited Fu Aiqing, Zhang Tong, and Zhang Tie into the private room to dine with us. She glanced in front of us and saw someone approaching, asking.

The secret decree is filled with hidden mechanisms, and anyone can easily get a glimpse of the secret decree.

It is obvious that this person was killed by the agency.

Yan Xinghe said, "The Hanlin Academy is in the Imperial Palace, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Apart from Hanlin like us, who else can enter and leave the Imperial Palace freely?"

But without any concrete evidence, I am in a bad position to speak.

Fu Aiqing explained: "This murder case is not about finding the murderer. The dead man came to peek at the imperial edict, and the emperor wants to find the person behind the scenes."

Lord Fu knew at a glance that the tattoo behind his eye was the logo of a killer organization, but at this moment he could only say it.

Night falls.

But apart from that, anyone who entered and left the palace freely was suspected.

Therefore, all officials of the Hanlin Academy are directly suspected.

It is rumored that the organization specifically opposes the imperial court, and their purpose is to find out who is about to ascend the throne and who they want to assassinate.

They both returned home to bathe.

The Seventh Prince bowed deeply to the Emperor, "Father, Lu Wenfeng is a serious man. Thanks to Lu Wenfeng's advice, this murder case was cleared of all charges. Please reward Lu Wenfeng!"

Yan Funing asked casually, "The case is closed, but the murderer hasn't been found?"

Liu Song and He were setting out the dishes. Seeing Ning Yeyu coming, they thought to themselves that they were quite tactful and knew that she was welcome.

Someone immediately retorted: "Why are you saying that again?"

Fu Aiqing said that he was trying to move me, so he just stepped inside and said, "It doesn't matter if he goes, but you must go."

The coroner was startled and immediately untied the corpse's hair.

For a moment, everyone looked at the prince worriedly.

Master Fu narrowed his eyes and examined the body lying on the stretcher. He then asked the coroner calmly, "The hair on the body is messy, which shows that the scalp hasn't been examined yet. Is that correct?"

The ministers bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

When they heard the term "eagle in the sky", the ministers present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ning Yeyu said calmly, "Clothes, shoes and socks can be changed, and tokens can be hung at will, but the tattoo under the scalp can be temporarily tattooed."

At that time, Liu Song said: "Lu Wenfeng and your boyfriend have already divorced, so it would be bad to meet them."

Everyone carefully observed the tattoo pattern for a long time.

Neither of them had any intention of blatantly winning over Lord Fu.

The man from the Ministry of Justice frowned and said, "The eagle of the sky, referred to as the Goshawk."

Lord Fu agreed with this.

All bad things seem to be ending gloomily.

"If you want to go, then go. There is a reason."

As the emperor, I have always hated that assassin organization, so I paused and said, "Fu Ciyi failed this time. I will remember this."

"Thank you, Lu Wenfeng, for the reminder!"

This statement immediately attracted the approval of all the Hanlin scholars.

--

The tattoo is small and the color is very different from the hair color, so it is really difficult to find if you look closely.

How could the emperor know what we were thinking? He immediately said, "Fu Ciyi has already been promoted two levels in the past. If he is promoted again now, I'm afraid it will be appropriate."

"Flies?" No one laughed.

The corpse that caught everyone's eye had no bloody hole under its chest, and the surrounding skin was pale, obviously dying of poisoning.

After that, the body was handed over to the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture were asked to conduct a thorough investigation of Goshawk.

Master Fu said calmly: "Go back home and take a bath."

The official from the Ministry of Justice took a look and reported, "Your Majesty, this symbol comes from a killer organization called Goshawk."

In fact, he discovered the token and the insole, and was thinking that the mastermind behind the scenes would finally be exposed. How could he not have the energy to open his hairline to check for the small tattoo that was only half the size of a fingernail?

Fu Aiqing said, "You wanted to bring Ci Yi along, but I'm willing to come."

Upon hearing this, Yan Funing knew that someone was in trouble.

How to focus only on Hanlin?

Who is the person behind the hawk and what is his real purpose?

After pulling the hair apart and taking a closer look, I found a tattoo on the front of my head. It was a strange two-cornered pattern that looked like a pair of wings.

"Yes, yes, we have to get rid of the bad luck. We are all considered suspects."

Officials in the Hanlin Academy also claimed that they knew the body lying underground.

The Hanlin Academy was not known as the "Emperor's private institution." Although officials did not take sides privately, if this were made public, it would be the emperor's greatest taboo.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince immediately started arguing.

Fu Aiqing just nodded with a wicked smile.

Suddenly, no one pointed out: "The body token is from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and the insole shows it is from the Eighth Prince's Mansion. In this case, neither prince is suspected. How can the problem be brought to you, the Imperial Academy?"

In the evening, Fu Aiqing came to the Fu family to look for Lord Fu, thinking that Lord Fu wanted to leave.

And who is most concerned about the content of the edict now?

Even if the Hanlin Academy's followers could enter the Hanlin Academy, they had to use specific passages and could not walk around freely in the palace.

Upon seeing this, Master Fu's eyes narrowed, and he tilted his head to ask the coroner, "Are you sure you've checked the entire body?"

The Eighth Prince also spoke up, "Right, right, right. Fortunately, Lu Wenfeng is meticulous." He then glanced to the side and asked, "Why did the people from Jingzhao Prefecture start by checking this man's scalp?"

"We've even checked the tongue, and the scalp was indeed something you overlooked." The coroner explained with his head lowered.

The Seventh and Eighth Princes were cleared of suspicion, and now they knew that the Crown Prince was the target of the hawk, and they felt relieved.

Only the prince standing next to the emperor spoke without thinking.

It's rare that I don't have a minister to help me get out of this situation.

The coroner came over and lifted the white cloth covering the body. "Ning Yeyu, please look, the body is completely naked. Has anyone checked it yet?"

By the time things were handled, it was already morning when I walked out of the palace.

"Today is the opening day of Fu Ning's restaurant, why is he going there?"

The Chengwen Building is brightly lit, but the business is special.

The emperor summoned people from the Ministry of Justice to investigate.

"Ning Yeyu is absolutely right!" said the Seventh Prince gratefully.
