It was already mid-July, but the case was still clueless. The entire Ministry of Justice has successively asked people who are known as "detectives" in various places to try it, but there has been no progress.

Xue Gui's hair was almost grim, but nothing could be added to the file.

The people in the Lu Palace who can use torture have been sieved through torture. All confessions and the searched items have been sorted out repeatedly, but they still have no effect on the investigation of the case.

Why did King Lu be killed by someone, and who killed him?

I thought this time, I could find some clear clues like the last time when I was a king, and then I could throw the case out. Whether it was the Ministry of Justice or the Case Department, I could take the opportunity to temporarily withdraw. It was just being treated as a knife. What is the difference between doing it once or twice?

But the problem is that there is no clue at all now!

It was not that Xue Gui said he was not asking for help from Xuan Qingwei, but that he went to find him, and Xuan Qingwei ignored him at all. The Ministry of Justice investigated the case of the Ministry of Justice itself, and Xuan Qingwei would not help anyone without the emperor's order.

Even in the end, Ma Xuanlin personally went to the commander's office to find Pang Ban, but the result was the same. Xuan Qingwei's attitude was very clear and he would not interfere.

If there is no direction to investigate the case, there is no way to push forward, and in the end it becomes like the Ministry of Justice is deliberately delaying time.

This time the emperor was not as angry and anxious as before as the case of the king. Instead, he said "inquiry" and seemed to be as light as before, and there was no limit on any time limit to solve the case. In this way, the pressure from the Ministry of Justice has been relieved to a certain extent. I thought about exploring it again, but I still didn't believe that I really couldn't find any breakthrough.

But there are always people who are in a hurry if the emperor is not in a hurry. There are even more than one or two. Just yesterday, rumors have begun to spread in the imperial city, mostly in the streets and alleys, and some peddlers are whispering to each other. To this day, there are related words in the upper circle of the imperial city to drive in a small range.

What is it spread? Of course, it is the recent murder of King Lu.

Most of the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice live in the imperial city. After the trip, they are ordinary people. Their families are not very good-looking. The neighbors around them have something to ask them. When they first heard about it, they didn't think anything was wrong. It was not until the vaguely seemed to have other reasons behind that it aroused the alertness of many yamen runners.

It is said that the king of gods is in front and the king of Lu is in back, and two princes have died. Is it time for the royal family to change again? Many older people still remember that many princes will die every time the royal family changes.

Then he said, fortunately, it did not affect us ordinary people, otherwise a monk would kill us like a chicken.

Finally, I don’t know who did it. Forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us ordinary people. But the old saying goes, whoever takes advantage of it will always be clear when you walk.

These words in the market seem ordinary, but they have a prairie fire, and finally quickly affected the so-called upper-class circles in the imperial city.

Compared with the people at the bottom, people in the upper reaches have much more knowledge and have more ideas. It is easy to generate new conclusions based on some statements in the market and the news they hear.

"Whoever takes advantage of the situation" is a common saying in the Jingji Dynasty Imperial City. There are many explanations, but it is very interesting to use the murder of King Gan and King Lu in the upper stream circle.

The common people don’t know that King Lu was ordered by the emperor to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, but who in the upper circle does not know? The reason is that the clues of the previous case of the King of Kings were found on the head of King Lu, and the key "snake" was no longer found, so that King Lu could not argue. Most people even don’t think King Lu is innocent. After all, it’s not new to kill him.

But now King Lu, who is considered to be the mastermind behind the killing of King Gan, has also died, and there are reports that King Lu's death is exactly the same as when King Gan died. Does this mean that King Lu is actually not the mastermind behind the murder of King Gan, but is just an unlucky person who was blamed?

Now that the unlucky guy is dead, doesn’t that just mean that the murderer is still in the free time?

Finally, I have to revisit the old saying: Whoever takes action will take advantage of it.

Killing requires the purpose, unless it is a madman or a murderer, there must be a reason for even an evil monk to kill, such as interests.

The old saying goes in these two cases with one meaning: Let’s see who gets the most benefits now, then whoever is likely to be the murderer who killed King Gan and King Lu! And it is very likely to continue to use the same tricks to continue to kill!

As for who is this "he"? Apart from one of these princes who participated in the "big test", I couldn't imagine anything else.

Then who has gained the greatest benefit in the case of the deaths of two princes?

If you think about it carefully, it seems that there are only two people. One is the eldest prince who captured the two late princes, most of the power behind the power of the late prince, King Jing, Yang Baicheng. The other is the seventh prince who was left behind by the two princes after their death and the seventh prince who was Ling Wang Shu.

One is the eldest, the other is the youngest.

One belongs to the strongest among princes ever; the other belongs to the biggest dark horse in this "big test".

They are all suspicious, so what should I do? Naturally, I will follow the pleasing ones.

Which one looks more pleasing to the eldest prince or the seventh prince? This question depends on who you are asking. If you are asking about the merchant, the seventh prince will definitely be more pleasing to the eyes; if you are asking about the so-called "upper" in the imperial city or the aristocratic family, then you must be the eldest prince. This is what the butt determines the head.

This is not a question of who stands in line with which prince, but a question of the old and new forces.

Even if the aristocratic families have different princes, no matter who ascends the throne in the end, they will give the aristocratic families a face and will not kill them all, because they are all a circle of forces and there is no need.

But the Seventh Prince is different. From the beginning, he took a different path than ordinary people. He is an absolute new force, and now he is getting stronger and stronger. No one is worried about the princes. All the major families are also worried. Because no one knows whether the new forces represented by the Seventh Prince will come to a great purge once they rise to power. After all, the aristocratic families have nothing to do with the Seventh Prince and even keep making trouble.

Therefore, the result was concluded from here. The so-called upper class in the imperial city quickly formed a unified caliber, and deliberately or unintentionally led the "master behind the scenes" to the seventh prince.

Don’t think that this kind of "gossip" has no substantial meaning. It is a wind that is steadily blowing from the secret to the open, and it also means that all forces are gradually forming a consensus.
