Having said this, the master suddenly stopped, looked at Song Wuya nervously and asked, "Sir, should I still say this?"
Apparently the master realized that everyone was talking about this matter, and when he suddenly said it at this time, he was indeed a little worried that something might happen.What's more, he is a little master, and he is facing the imperial court's order, so he is naturally worried that Song Wuya will leak this word.
"Just tell me, I guarantee that no one will know what you said." Song Wuya immediately assured the master.
There were only a few imperial guards in the courtroom, and Song Wuya arranged for all the other yamen servants to track down the murderer's clues.Except for the master, those civil servants were also assigned by Song Wuya, and they were busy with other things.
After receiving Song Wuya's promise, the master nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It stands to reason that the Holy Majesty is the eldest son, and he should inherit the great line. However, the former emperor has already established the abolished crown prince as the reserve. It is also seen that the former emperor is seriously ill, and I am afraid that he will die soon. This imperial court The officials in the interior also divided into two factions, and there were many fights between the open and the dark."
"On the surface, the abolished prince has many cronies and is the most powerful. And because he is a legitimate prince, he has the most supporters. But what is unexpected is that just before the death of the emperor, the capital A strange thing happened."
"Strange thing? How strange is it?" Listening to the master's narration, Song Wuya was also very curious about what happened that year.
The master immediately said: "This matter is related to the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle."
"Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle!" Upon hearing the master mentioning the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle, Song Wuya suddenly felt that this matter might be able to solve the mystery of this case.
"That's right, it's the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle." The master nodded affirmatively and said, "If the adults hadn't mentioned the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle just now, the villain might not have thought of it. At that time, in the five temples in the city, Vajra Vajra appeared at the same time. The subduing magic pestle was nailed to the Buddha statue."
"It's really strange that the Vajra Conquering Demon Pestle was nailed to the Buddha statue. I thought it was a murder case at first, so what kind of character was decided in this case at the time?" Song Wuya heard this, more or less Somewhat disappointed.
"Disobedience!" Master said directly.
"Disobedience!" This made Song Wuya a little puzzled, how could he become disobedient when he nailed the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle to the Buddha statue?
"That's right, my lord. There are five Buddha statues nailed to the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle. If other Buddha statues were replaced, it would not be a big deal at all. But the terrible thing is that these five Buddha statues are all from before. It was built by the emperor as a prototype. The Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle was nailed to the Buddha statue, isn't it meant to be nailed to the body of the former emperor?"
Song Wuya was shocked when Master's words came to this point.It turned out that this is the case, and the Buddha statue was actually made with the emperor as the prototype.
At that time, the first emperor was critically ill, and he might pass away at any time, but now that such a situation has appeared, doesn't that mean that someone is cursing the first emperor to die?
"Then how did you deal with this case?" Song Wuya asked anxiously.
"I really don't know how the case will be handled in the end, but later the emperor passed away, and left a photo, abolishing the original prince, and changing the eldest son to be the prince. According to the rumors among the people, this matter It was done by the abolished prince. The purpose is to let the former emperor die as soon as possible, and he can also ascend the throne early, so that he can directly suppress the emperor and end the battle for the throne." The master shook his head, Instead, he told Song Wuya about the people's rumors.
After hearing this, Song Wuya nodded, and immediately said: "Then you immediately send the file of this case to the government, and the government needs to check it."
"Yes, my lord, please wait a moment." The master responded and went to look for the file.
It was originally a troublesome thing, but I didn't expect that it would become much simpler because of the master's question.Although it is not sure whether the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle has something to do with this case, but the royal family is also involved, and it must be close.
Obviously, this harvest is not small. The Buddha statue based on the former emperor was actually nailed to the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle.No matter who did it, it is definitely not a trivial matter, and if it is transferred to the prince, it is even more terrifying.

? 8 Ninety Chapters of Disobedience
Not long after, the master brought the dossier, Song Wuya couldn't wait to unfold it, and began to examine it.
Soon after reading the dossier, Song Wuya also concluded the whole story of this matter.
The case was just as the master said, it was the monks in the temple who found out that within seconds the Lord Buddha's heart had been targeted with the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle.However, the Buddha statue with the golden body was damaged. Naturally, the temple knew the dignity of the Buddha statue and did not dare to hide anything, so it immediately reported it to the government.
Soon, the case was investigated all over the city, but there was no result.
What is strange is that in the temple, no one heard any movement before the Vajra Conquering Demon Pestle was nailed to the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue is a heavy thing, and if it is not a clay sculpture, it should be chiseled from wood. It would take a lot of effort to nail the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle to it.
But after the incident, no one heard any movement.
For a while, this matter became a matter that everyone was in danger of.The whole court was even more shaken, especially inside the royal room, so it was naturally impossible to turn a blind eye.The queen, the prince at that time, and even the princes all put pressure on the prefect of Fengyang prefecture, making them want to find out who did this.
But what about the magistrate's yamen?They didn't have any clues at all, and this matter was different from murder and theft cases, not even a single suspect could be found.In desperation, the magistrate's yamen had no choice but to severely interrogate the monks in the temple.
Because of such a case, these monks suffered, and many monks chose to commit suicide under torture to extract confessions.And there are also quite a few people who, under persecution, framed others indiscriminately, so that the prisons in the capital were filled with innocent people who were wronged because of this case.
Song Wuya was shocked by the case. Looking at the officials and royal family members involved in the case mentioned above, they didn't end well.
This reminded Song Wuya of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's scourge of witchcraft, how many people died in vain because of such things.
Now this is obviously a replica of the scourge of the Witch Gu, but the Witch Gu has become a Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle.
The final result of the case, because the Holy Majesty inherited the Datong, and the instigator of this case naturally became the abolished prince.
It didn't specify any clues in detail, and even from the file in front of him, it was really difficult to tell whether this incident was caused by the abolished prince or not.
"Something has been erased here!" Song Wuya looked at the end of the dossier, but found that something had been deliberately erased in the row of witnesses. "No more, no less, exactly five people."
The ones that were erased were of course the names of the witnesses, and it happened to be five people.
In this way, Song Wuya was immediately connected with the previous events.After investigating the coup that year, five informers appeared beside the abolished prince. It was precisely because of these five people who leaked the coup that the abolished prince failed in the end.
At this time, there were also five witnesses recorded on the file, which just confirmed Mr. Zhou's five witnesses.From this point of view, in the end it was these five people who testified against the abolished prince and put this charge on him.
But the matter is obviously not like this. Although it is not very clear who did this matter, Song Wuya already has a guess in his heart.
"Okay, put the file back."
After reading the dossier, Song Wuya immediately asked the master to put the dossier back.
"Then, my lord, do you still want to continue searching for files about temples and Buddhism?"
The master took the file and asked another question.
Song Wuya shook his head and said, "Don't look for it for now, we'll talk about it when the government needs it."
After the master left, Song Wuya pondered in his heart.
"It seems that this Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle is related to the case of that year. If this is the case, then Lord Zhou's death must be the revenge of the abolished prince. And he did this to let the emperor know that this is the case. The purpose of what he did was to scare him for what happened back then."
After thinking about this, Song Wuya naturally thought of other things.
"Then since they are killing for vendetta, why did Huang Haoshan go to find Mr. Zhou in order to avenge his past? Could it be to warn Mr. Zhou that the abolished prince will kill him?"
The sudden reversal made the things that were almost certain suddenly have a huge reversal, which made Song Wuya feel ridiculous.
After a few days of tossing around, it seemed to be going in circles, completely turning Song Wuya around.
Now the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle has an explanation, but Huang Haoshan's behavior doesn't know how to explain it.
King Jin let Huang Haoshan go on purpose in order to attract the deposed prince, but now that the deposed prince has not appeared, Huang Haoshan has done a strange thing instead.
The imperial guards are still under control in the capital, except for Mr. Zhou, the other four people are also under the control of the imperial guards.But more than a day passed, and the imperial guards did not report that Huang Haoshan had contact with these people.
Although these people were under the control of the imperial guards, they did not do what Song Wuya wanted to see.
