The tip of the knife was only about an inch away from Ruan Yu's throat, as if it was about to penetrate Ruan Yu's throat the next moment.

Ruan Yu's throat rolled, stunned, and then her back collar was wet with cold sweat.

He said in a vain: "What are you...what are you going to do?"

The people in the pavilion were all surprised. Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and was still calm. Although a trace of doubt flashed through his eyes, the prince Zhu Gaochi still calmly treated him, as if the sky was falling in front of him, and it was irrelevant to him.

As for the others, they were not so calm. Ruan Yu was the envoy of Champa. No matter how powerful Champa is, he was a foreign country of the Ming Dynasty. When the envoy of the foreign country arrived in Nanjing, he was a distinguished guest of the Ming Dynasty. It was obviously too much for Hao Fenglou to do this. If this matter is investigated, it would definitely be a big deal. Just the insult to the vassal envoy is enough to make the thousand households of the Jinyiwei smashed to pieces.

Hao Fenglou's hand did not move, nor did the knife move.

The tip of the knife stopped steadily in the air, facing Ruan Yu.

He said word by word: "Mr. Ruan, it's time to admit his guilt and submit to the law. Do you still want to deny it now?"

Ruan Yu gradually calmed down. He stared at Hao Fenglou and said, "What do you deny? I can't understand a word of what you said."

Hao Fenglou said sternly: "You are the one who poisoned the prince!"

Ruan Yu smiled. If he said that at the beginning, his performance was quite cautious, but now he was surprisingly calm. His deep eyes seemed to have a faint light, and he looked at Hao Fenglou with a smile, saying word by word: "I am the envoy of Champa. I share the same hatred of the prince with the prince. Why do you poison him? You are so slandering and so ignorant. Is this the way to treat your guests in the Supreme Kingdom of Heaven? Although Champa is small, the soldiers are only more than ten thousand. The territory is only a thousand miles, but as a envoy, I am definitely not everyone who can deceive me. If you want to frame me, even if you give me a pleasure, I would rather die than bear such a crime."

His words are polite and polite, and he hides needles in the cotton, and he holds them with great strength.

If Hao Fenglou did not give an explanation, I am afraid that the one who splattered blood in Chongwen Pavilion today would not be Ruan Yu, but Hao Fenglou.

Hao Fenglou was unmoved, and he said lightly: "From the beginning, I doubted you, do you know why?"

Ruan Yu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Hao Fenglou continued: "Because there is something very strange. A few days ago, I visited the prince. His Highness said something. He claimed that he had a group of letters with Minister Annan. I don't need to explain these letters. Prince Chen is orthodox after all. Many people in Annan are dissatisfied with the rule of Hu. It was just because the Hu family was powerful and had to surrender. These letters were very related. The reason why Prince Chen told me was to prove that as long as he arrived in Annan, he could immediately gain a foothold. He hoped to send troops and horses to escort him back to his country."

Hao Fenglou said slowly: "I should not only hear about these things. As for the importance of letters, it is naturally self-evident. This is the trump card in Prince Chen's hands. But what if these letters fall into the hands of Hu, the traitor of Annan,?"

"If it falls into the hands of Hu, Hu can use these letters to eliminate the 'rebels' who collude with Prince Chen. Therefore, these letters are crucial to Prince Chen and are also worth a thousand gold to the current Annan Hu family."

When Hao Fenglou talked about these letters, many people fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Prince Chen has been lobbying for a long time. In order to prove his value, Hao Fenglou did not listen to the letter alone.

Hao Fenglou continued: "After that, Prince Chen mentioned again that it was a thief in Honglu Temple, and someone sneaked into his bedroom and flipped through a lot of things. At that time, I felt that theft was not simple this time, and the thieves would never come just for money, because Prince Chen said that although someone had turned over the house, nothing was stolen. This means that the thief had only one target, those letters. Unfortunately, they did not find the letters and returned in vain."

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "Since their goal is letters, then who must get these letters? For example, I am a thousand households of Jinyiwei. These letters may be crucial to Prince Chen, but to me, they are just a group of waste paper. I believe everyone here is like me. Of course, there is only one person who urgently needs these letters, that is, Mrs. Hu in Annan. When Prince Chen revealed this news, Mrs. Hu's spies and meticulous works in Nanjing decided to get these letters after they got the news. However, the stolen place was Honglu Temple. You must know that the Honglu Temple is very safe. If an outsider wants to sneak into this place and find Prince Chen's bedroom to steal, it will be harder to escape after searching."

"Therefore, the thieves must be in the Honglu Temple. They not only know the roots of Prince Chen, but also have a special identity, so that they can walk around at will in the Honglu Temple." Hao Fenglou stared at Ruan Yu and said with a unique meaning: "In other words, it is actually in the Honglu Temple where Annan's detailed works are hidden."

Ruan Yu's face looked like a pool of autumn water, and she said, "You are learning from one example and applying it to other things, but you are quite good at it."

Hao Fenglou smiled: "Since a medley of works has been mixed into the Honglu Temple and stole letters, I suspect that the people who poisoned the banquet at the East Palace this time were these Annan's medleys. In this way, things will be easier. Among the people present today, only Prince Ning and Lord Ruan came from the Honglu Temple. Prince Ning was just a bag of wine. Even if he had any plans, it was impossible for him to prepare in advance and poison the poison here. After all the clues were linked together, I have a story here, I wonder if everyone would rather listen."

A hint of horror flashed across Ruan Yu's eyes, but he still tried to calm down and looked at Hao Fenglou with a smile.

Everyone was shocked. Even Zhu Di seemed to be trapped in this mystery at this moment and could not extricate himself for a while.

Hao Fenglou said: "The beginning of the story was in Annan. The Hu family in Annan was invasive and forcibly conquered Cham City. Cham City fought to the death. However, in the face of Annan's powerful troops, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. However, Cham City was far away from the mountains and rivers of Daming, and the Ming Dynasty was still in the dark. At this moment, it was suddenly reported that it was Annan's royal family who went to Nanjing to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. Hu was very frightened, fearing that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to the south for this, so he ordered people to forge the letter of Cham City, stamped the golden seal of Cham City, and sent his confidant to pretend to be the envoy of Cham City, and rushed to Nanjing in the name of seeking help."

This time, Ruan Yu's smile completely froze.

Hao Fenglou sneered: "This person's purpose is to approach Prince Chen who is sympathetic and sympathetic, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him. As long as Prince Chen dies, the blood of the Chen clan will be completely cut off, which will not only calm the hearts of Annan, but also, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to avenge Chen, there is no excuse for the Chen family to restore the country. At that time, the Annan people will definitely fight to the death to resist the Ming Dynasty's "invasion". However, when this detailed work arrived in Nanjing in the name of the Chameng envoy, he did not rush to take action, because he heard the rumors that Prince Chen had many letters from Minister Annan. If he could get these letters, he could find out the snakes in Annan's country.

The civil servants and military generals at both ends of the rat changed their minds and began to take various means to find ways to get these letters. But when I visited Prince Chen, the Annan envoy immediately became alert, because my identity was the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. The envoy mistakenly thought that his affairs had aroused the suspicion of the court. So when I was chatting and laughing with Prince Chen, the envoy also came to visit. Naturally, he wanted to find out my details. During the conversation, Prince Chen mentioned theft, and the envoy was even more uneasy. So after that visit, he did not care about the letter and decided to kill Prince Chen immediately."

"If Prince Chen dies in the Honglu Temple, it will be too easy to make people suspicious. The envoy is waiting for an opportunity to come. The prince invites the King of Han, and Prince Chen and all the ministers will be present. This is a god-given opportunity for the envoy. Because the banquet must be mixed with dragons and snakes, and taking action at this time will definitely not arouse others' suspicion. So he prepared the poison in advance and put the poison in Prince Chen's wine when people are not paying attention..."

The story of Hao Fenglou is really tortuous, even when you hear the story, you feel that it is too complicated.

However, this story is quite reasonable, as if a line has spread all the things that have happened recently.

Zhu Di still didn't show any expression. As the emperor, it is of course inappropriate to speak now. Let the subordinates make trouble. If this envoy of Chameng was really a detailed work by Hu, then this matter could be revealed; but if Hao Fenglou wronged others, it would not matter. Hao Fenglou, a bad guy, took it out to face the wall and think about his mistakes. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was still thoughtful to treat guests.

Hao Fenglou smiled faintly and looked at Ruan Yu motionlessly: "Mr. Ruan, in this story, you are the protagonist. Although my story is a guess, in order to prove that you are the murderer of poisoning, I deliberately revealed that the person who poisoned was Prince Ning. At that time, I asked you, what did Prince Ning tell you when he left his seat, and you deliberately said that you didn't know. But once Prince Ning had 'conclusive evidence', in order to add fuel to the fire, Prince Ning was your scapegoat. So I suddenly remembered what the prince had said to you, and deliberately claimed that the prince put the wine glass on the table. This was obviously a hint that everyone, the prince changed his wine glass with Prince Chen. When you were so eager to pour this dirty water on Prince Ning, did you ever think that this was actually someone Hao deliberately lured the snake out of the hole?"
