Chapter 440: Treason
When Earl Yongle went to the Ministry of Justice, he only took one look at his son's body, and his blood rushed to his head, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
When she woke up again, she immediately turned the carriage around and went into the palace crying all the way to complain to the emperor.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Mingde looked at the object before him, his brow furrowed. "So, Prince Yongle was killed by someone using this object to penetrate the Baihui acupoint on his head?"
"yes."
Yunxiao stripped the man naked and examined his entire body. Finally, he performed a craniotomy and removed the murder weapon. He had already confirmed that this was the cause of death. Xie Siheng believed in his ability.
"Oh! It's actually made of black iron, what a grand achievement!"
Emperor Mingde looked at the thing in his hand. With his keen eyesight, he could recognize the material of this thing, but he did not expect that someone would use such top-grade materials to make such a thing.
"Have all the craftsmen in the capital been checked?"
"To create such a fine object with a material like black iron, I'm afraid there is no craftsman in the capital who has such skills."
After a pause, Xie Siheng continued, "Even the people in the Ministry of Works have doubts about whether they have this skill."
Emperor Mingde looked at him in surprise: "Even the people in the Ministry of Works can't make this thing?"
"This kind of delicate and labor-intensive craftsmanship tests the craftsman's skills, endurance, creativity, and control of the heat. The artisans in the palace mostly create large-scale objects, which is completely different from the method used in forging."
Emperor Mingde's face darkened. "Among my good sons, have any of them been close to people from the underworld recently?"
Xie Siheng was silent.
The emperor did not give him the right to monitor several princes, so it was naturally difficult to answer this question.
Fortunately, Emperor Mingde reacted quickly and did not ask any further questions.
He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "Did you test it with those three bowls of water?"
Xie Siheng's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the blood test?"
"Hmm." Emperor Mingde's voice expressed no emotion.
"I followed Princess Hehua's instructions and used three bowls of water. The blood from different people is identical except for the length of time it takes to fuse."
Emperor Mingde himself fell into deep thought.
Although he already knew the result, he couldn't help but think about it after confirming it again.
Although human blood will eventually mix, how could the person who stole the child ensure that the blood would mix so quickly?
It was because the blood melted instantly and there was a jade pendant as evidence that he immediately believed that the baby he found was his child.
The person who did this would definitely make sure everything was safe before doing it, and would not just wait for the blood to mix randomly.
So, his granddaughter knows quite a lot...
"I understand. Go check if the Yongle Earl's Mansion has offended any people in the underworld recently."
Just as Emperor Mingde finished speaking, he heard the sobbing voice of Earl Yongle outside the Yangxin Palace: "Your Majesty! This old minister has come to beg Your Majesty to make a decision for me~~~"
"Wuwuwuwu~~~ My son! You died so tragically~~~"
Emperor Mingde felt a sharp pain in his head when he heard this voice: "You go first."
As Xie Siheng walked to the door, he bumped head-on into Earl Yongle, who was being supported by a eunuch.
Yonglebo immediately pushed away the eunuch who was supporting him, rushed forward and grabbed Xie Siheng by the collar: "You treacherous villain, you heartless and ungrateful man! What did my son do to you? You even spared his corpse! You even smashed his head... his head open!"
"I believe I've never offended you. Why are you so cruel and vicious? You won't even leave us a whole body?! Why? Tell me why!"
Earl Yongle's eyes were wide open and his face was ferocious. He looked at Xie Siheng viciously as he rushed over and wanted to strangle him to death.
Xie Siheng naturally wouldn't just stand there and wait for someone to pinch him. He grabbed Earl Yongle's hands and looked at him with disdain: "Why don't you ask your good son why he suffered such a cruel fate?"
After saying that, he pushed Yonglebo away and walked out.
Yonglebo was almost pushed to the ground by him. Looking at his back, he cursed viciously: "You are so heartless and worse than pigs and dogs! You will get retribution for doing this sooner or later! I want to see how long you can keep your complacency..."
"Earl Yongle!"
Emperor Mingde spoke with an unhappy expression. Only then did Earl Yongle realize that he was in the Yangxin Palace. He suddenly stopped cursing, turned around, and threw himself at Emperor Mingde's feet with a look of grief: "Your Majesty! Ah!!!"
Chuan Qiong glared fiercely in the direction of the Yangxin Palace: "Humph! This old man can raise a son like Yongle Earl, who is so duplicitous. I don't think he is a good person!"
Prince Yongle usually looks kind, low-key and modest, but unexpectedly he is so shocking behind the scenes!
Not only is it for men and women, but also for age...
If they hadn't investigated because of his sudden death, they really couldn't have imagined that Prince Yongle actually kept some boys and girls on his own farm specifically for him to do that thing.
It's totally unscrupulous!
"Whether it's true or not, keep an eye on the Bo Mansion. We'll know soon."
"No problem! We'll make sure we know how many times they poop a day!"
Chuan Qiong patted his chest and made the promise.
…
As Xie Siheng, exhausted, stepped into the Marquis's residence, a servant respectfully informed him, "The Marquis invites the Crown Prince to visit Pu Yuxuan."
He paused and changed the direction of his toes.
"You still remember to come back! Rebellious son!"
As soon as he stepped into Pu Yuxuan, a cup of tea hit Xie Siheng on the head.
He tilted his head slightly, and the teacup brushed against his cheek and fell to the floor with a crisp sound.
The servants outside Pu Yuxuan were all frightened and silent.
Since the princess passed away, the relationship between the marquis and the prince has become increasingly worse...
Inside the house, Marquis Xuanping was sitting in the main seat, with an attendant standing behind him, looking at Xie Siheng who came in with a gloomy face.
Xie Siheng's expression remained unchanged. He walked in and sat on a chair, looking at the Marquis of Xuanping with a mocking look in his eyes: "Does the Marquis think that I am just sitting around doing nothing like you?"
Seeing Xie Siheng, who was now increasingly disregarding him, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Marquis of Xuanping: "Rebellious son! How can you speak to me like that? You don't even call me father. I see that all the rules and etiquette you've learned over the years have become useless!"
"Oh, then just treat it as feeding the dog."
Xie Siheng was not angry, on the contrary, there was a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth.
"This is the good son your mother raised! If I had known you were so disobedient, I should have strangled you to death when you were born!"
Xuanping Hou's chest was heaving with anger, and the look he gave Xie Siheng was not like that of a father and son, but rather like that of an enemy.
Hearing Marquis Xuanping mention his mother, the smile on Xie Siheng's face disappeared: "If I hear you mention my mother again, I don't mind cutting off your tongue!"
