After nightfall, as Hao Fenglou expected, after searching and investigating for several hours, everyone gathered to Chongwen Pavilion.

The system of the East Palace is similar to that of the palace, but the level is lower. There are Chongwen Hall, Wuying Hall, etc. in the palace, which are all extremely important main halls. When it comes to the East Palace, they are Chongwen and Wuying Pavilions, respectively, and the layout of the Nanjing Forbidden City is imitated.

Everyone arrived in groups of three or three. There were seats in the pavilion. A eunuch said, "Your Majesty is interesting. The lord will arrive later. You don't have to be too polite. Just sit here and wait."

Everyone sat down one after another.

A thousand households like Hao Fenglou are really inconspicuous in terms of level, so naturally they can only stay in the last seat. He didn't care and observed everyone while sitting down.

The King of Han's face was more serious. It was obvious that he had received some news in advance. He glanced at the prince sinisterly. The prince seemed much more indifferent. The old god was lying on the chair. Although he did not show any expression, it seemed quite relaxed.

Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, pursed his lips and closed his eyes to rest. A person like him, who has been through several dynasties and has his own set of cultivation.

However, the envoy of Chameng seemed a little uneasy. Perhaps Prince Annan's death touched him, causing him to die and make him sad. Besides, Prince Annan's death or life could not hear any news, which was enough to make him uneasy.

In addition, there are officials from Yingtian Prefecture, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice. They all sit upright without being angry and have a bit of a sense of style.

Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, came here in person. He frowned and seemed to be tidying up his messy thoughts. It seemed that there was not much progress.

Some of the others closed their eyes and forced themselves to be calm, while others seemed uneasy, while others seemed nervous and looked different.

For a moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was a small Jinyiwei Qianhu here. Of course, not no one remembered it at all. For example, Prince Ning Zhu Panyi, looked at Hao Fenglou from the corner of his eyes. His right thumb kept rubbing the broken fingers of his left hand. Although there were scabs here, it was still shocking.

Every time he stroked it, the hatred in his eyes increased a little. There seemed to be a ball of flame in his chest, as if it was about to spew out.

"Your Majesty is here."

The eunuch raised his voice and sang aloud.

Everyone calmed down and stood up one after another, saluting Zhu Di who came in: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di's expression was solemn. He sat on the chair with a roar and smiled coldly, "No need to be polite. Sit down. I won't say more about Prince Annan. What I want to say is that this is not only at the feet of the emperor, but the Eastern Palace is also a major palace ban, but there are people who are so bold and brave enough to attack my guests. Prince Annan is my guest, and it's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. This sentence was said by the saint. But now, my honorable guest is still lying on the couch, and life and death are unknown. Since someone deceived me and does not take my Ming seriously, then I will first explain to you. I will definitely pull this person out, destroy his whole family, and kill his whole family. Only in this way can I eliminate my hatred!"

His eyes narrowed and continued with a bit of ruthlessness: "In my opinion, most of the poisoned people are in this pavilion. Now we are summoning everyone. It is not to find the real murderer, but to let everyone expose it. If anyone exposes the murderer, I will reward you. Let the criminals come first. Zhu Aiqing, you can tell me first."

Zhu Cai of Dali Temple stood up and said in fear: "I... I have ordered people to carefully investigate. As Your Majesty said, the poisoned person is indeed involved with the person who attended the banquet that day. Otherwise, the murderer would not have any other opportunities. The person who attended the banquet was either a royal relative, a national envoy or a guest, or a court official. In my foolish opinion, perhaps there may be any mistakes in some place."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "What are the mistakes? Humph, let's talk about him, can't I find out any clues in Dali Temple?"

Zhu Cai took a deep breath and became even more frightened: "I didn't find out and dare not assert."

Zhu Di heard the implication of Zhu Cai's words. He didn't say that he had no clue at all, but said that he had not found out. This means that there were already clues. Zhu Di seemed impatient: "What I want to ask is whether you have any eyebrows or not, but it doesn't matter."

Zhu Cai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty... Dali Temple does have some clues. It is reported that there are two people who are close to Prince Annan. This is what the eunuchs in the vicinity of him have seen with their own eyes. One of them is Zhu Panyan, Prince Ning..."

Zhu Panyi immediately stood up: "I was just a small clue at that time, and I just passed by him. Don't talk nonsense."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Panyan coldly and said, "You have to argue, and I will naturally let you argue enough by then. Now, stop talking!"

Zhu Di was in a bad mood and did not give Zhu Panyan any face at all.

Zhu Panyan's face flushed, and he had to keep his mouth shut due to Zhu Di's rude power.

Zhu Di continued to ask, "There is another person, who is it?"

Zhu Cai said: "His Royal Highness of Han..."

Zhu Gaoxu's face changed and he wanted to argue, but with Zhu Panyan's previous lessons, he stopped talking.

As soon as Zhu Cai finished speaking, another minister stood up. It was the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, and said, "Your Majesty, I asked, and a palace servant also saw His Highness the King of Han, but... His Highness the King of Han just held a cup and chatted with Prince Annan for a while. No one saw His Highness the King of Han change the cup. Naturally... His Highness the King of Han would never do such a rebellious thing. I am willing to use the head as a guarantee."

On the surface, he was a person who was responsible for his head and had the attitude of fully trusting the King of Han, but he had the best chance of his words.

Zhu Di's face became colder. He glanced at the King of Han sideways, his eyes fell on Zheng Ci, the Minister of Justice, and said, "What do you say?"

Among the three departments, Zheng Ci was the most cautious. He pondered: "I am thinking that things may not be so simple. If it were the real murderer, how could he deliberately approach Prince Annan and make everyone know it? This is not intentional, causing fire to the body? Therefore, I think that there is no possibility of poisoning Your Highness, the King of Han."

This old guy was very terrified and said that since he was poisoning, he certainly didn't dare to be so obvious, but he only protected the King of Han. As for Prince Ning, he would never mention it.

Zhu Di's face became heavier and he looked at the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu and said, "What do you have to say?"

Zhu Gaoxu knew that the thing he was most worried about was that even if he poisoned him, with his identity, the father would never be punished. But the problem is that once suspicion arouses, the stain will never be cleared. In the eyes of the father, wouldn’t he become a cunning person? As long as this mark is always on him, he will never be of great use. Just to clear himself, how can it be so easy?

He just bowed to the ground and said, "My son is wronged."

Zhu Dihan looked at Zhu Panyan and couldn't help but shake his head. Zhu Gaoxu was brave, but he didn't have a trace of wisdom, which disappointed him. He looked at Zhu Panyan in a sideways: "Where are you, didn't you say something? Now, I'll give you a chance to defend yourself."

Zhu Panyi said seriously: "Wei Chen also saw Hao Fenglou approaching Prince Annan. This is what we saw with our own eyes. If Your Majesty does not believe it, we are willing to confront Hao Fenglou."

Here comes...

From the beginning, Zhu Panyan planned to drag Hao Fenglou into the water.

Originally, this incident involved two important clan relatives of the Ming Dynasty, but then it involved a thousand-family family of the Jinyiwei.

Hao Feng's floor was as deep as water, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Criminal, you and I do have personal grudges, but why should the prince bit me back?"

Zhu Panyi said seriously: "I saw it with my own eyes. Last time I was at the Honglu Temple, I clearly saw you talking and laughing with Prince Annan. But today, when I arrived at the Eastern Palace from the Honglu Temple, I walked with Prince Annan. Prince Annan once pulled me and said that this thousand-family Hao Fenglou had always been hostile to him. It is reported that when the Hao family was in the fiefdom, Hao Fenglou had to go to Annan. Hao Fenglou was worried that his father would never return, so he wanted to be in the Ming Dynasty.

He made a big move, which killed Prince Annan. Because only by killing Prince Annan, His Majesty was furious and would definitely force his troops to act. At that time, his father would naturally recall it. Because Prince Annan felt Hao Fenglou's murderous intent, he came today, Hao Fenglou repeatedly wanted to approach him. Prince Annan was indifferent to these things. Many people know that if His Majesty does not believe, he can ask the envoy of Annan, and he also knows the inside story."

call……

No one had ever thought that Zhu Panyi's order was so clear, and after such analysis, based on many facts that everyone has seen, Hao Fenglou's suspicion was really quite serious.

The Annan Kingdom envoy was hesitant, as if he didn't want to offend Hao Fenglou, but he didn't want to offend Prince Ning. But when everyone's eyes fell on him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, when I came to the East Palace today, my subordinates always felt something was wrong. A few days ago, Hao Fenglou visited Prince Annan and was quite enthusiastic about Hao Fenglou, but he was very cold early this morning and didn't even want to talk to Hao Fenglou in detail. He just reluctantly called him twice, then pulled Prince Ning to take the lead and put Hao Fenglou behind him."

Zhu Panyi's face flashed with a bit of cruelty. He stood up, pointed at Hao Fenglou and said sternly: "Hao Fenglou, what else do you have to say? You killed Prince Annan for your father, but ignored the court's face. Oh, yes, I just remembered that you are a brave person who is very brave and does nothing, otherwise how could you cut off my finger that day? You dare to do such a thing, what else would you dare not?"
