Chapter 155: Confession
Xue Jinyi squinted her eyes curiously, but unfortunately she was a little far away, and she couldn't see the words on it that were smaller than soybeans clearly.
"Found."
Suddenly, the king of Chu wrote three words on the back of her hand.
"Oh?" As soon as Xue Jinyi became curious, she saw Geng Fang standing in front of the side of the imperial case, and spoke on behalf of the emperor.
"The gangster's name is Yu Dali, born in Qianyuan County, Shangzhou, his parents died when he was a child, and he was exiled in the black market in the capital, becoming a debt collector. This group of thugs not only collects debts and beats people, but also has a layer of use, that is, to buy rich and noble families, and do some treacherous and vicious things such as arson and murder. ”
When Second Lady Zhuo heard this, her eyes were already black for a while, and she couldn't read the handwriting on the paper at all.
It is difficult to find out the identity of a person like Yu Dali, but the emperor has made it clear in such a short period of time......
Geng Fang is neither high nor low, and his emotionless voice continues, "On the fifth day of the sixth month, Yu Dali walked from his residence in Xishi to the city's Huarouge Shop, and stayed for two moments. On the second day, he went to the rouge shop again, and after staying for half a cup of tea, he went out of the city from Anhuamen and went straight to Lantian County. ”
Empress Cai also broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she didn't dare to look at the emperor at all.
has been with the emperor for more than 20 years, and she also knows everything about the officials of the court, but she doesn't know that the emperor has the ability to investigate things so carefully in a few hours!
Xue Jinyi was equally surprised.
This is not only prying open Yu Dali's mouth, but also a force controlled by the emperor, like modern surveillance, knows everyone's movements well!
She couldn't help but clench King Chu's hand.
On the same day, the prince was set up in Pingkangfang, how much will the emperor know?
King Chu felt a little sweat in her palms, and rubbed the thumb on the back of her hand a few times.
Xue Jinyi felt a sense of peace of mind and stabilized her mind.
The emperor has already severely punished the crown prince, and the matter is over, even if the emperor knows what someone has done, he does not intend to pursue it.
In front of her, the eldest princess deliberately asked: "Why does a man with five big and three thick years go to a rouge shop frequently, isn't there any old friend?" ”
"Yu Dali didn't buy anything, and he didn't have a good old friend." Geng Fang said: "On the first day, he went to get the work, and on the second day, he went to get the poison. Jin San, the owner of the rouge shop, is in charge of contacting the black market thugs, and the owner of this shop is Lu Cheng, a wealthy businessman who lives in Heping Fang......"
Second Lady Zhuo woke up a little and couldn't help but interrupt Geng Fang's words, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know Lu Cheng, and she has never been to the rouge shop in the West Market!" ”
Geng Fang unhurriedly took an account book from his sleeve, showed it to the emperor, and then presented it to Mrs. Zhuo's eyes, "This is the account book secretly searched from Lu Cheng's house, which records in detail the number and transactions of goods purchased from several shops in the East Market. It turned out that this Lu became the owner of these shops, and bought their goods at a high price, and then sold them at a loss, and every New Year's Festival, he would give gifts and money to several shops. He had the advantage that he would not be questioned when he secretly transported prohibited items into the city. ”
Second Lady Zhuo's body shook a few times, feeling her throat dry, and she couldn't say anything to argue.
When I found this one, I pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, is it still a secret behind it?
Geng Fang looked at her coldly and continued: "The owner of these shops he is tied to is named Yan Wanyue, and the shops are all her dowry, and she is married to the eldest son of Second Lady Zhuo. ”
Before the words fell, the strength of Second Lady Zhuo's whole body seemed to be taken away all of a sudden, and she knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, the concubine is just confused for a while...... The concubine body just wants to scare and scare the king of Chu, and she has no intention of killing innocent people, please let the emperor know it! ”
Nowadays, it is useless to deny it, and it can only be reduced to small things.
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "If I hadn't carefully explained Xuan'er and Jinyi, I am afraid that there would have been deaths and injuries in the Digong Temple now, which would affect the reputation of the emperor and me!" ”
"No, it's really not like this," Second Lady Zhuo looked at Queen Cai as if asking for help, they were siblings, if she didn't save her when she died, she wouldn't be better!
Empress Cai gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Eldest sister, you are really confused!" ”
As she spoke, she glared at Second Lady Zhuo viciously.
She hopes that her sister understands that the matter has come to this, and only by trying her best to clear her suspicion can she protect Cai's safety.
Second Mrs. Zhuo was stunned for a moment and understood.
She hid her face and cried: "Yes, it was the concubine who was confused, and when the concubine heard that the prince was punished, she was distressed, and she heard many people outside talking about the good deeds done by the king of Chu and Miss Xue. ”
She had something to say, and the eldest princess's eyebrows became even colder, and she scolded: "Xuan'er and Jinyi do good deeds for the emperor and me, so that the people can praise the emperor!" If you listen to two gossips and do such a vicious thing, if someone beats you and scolds you, can you still do it? ”
"I'm ......" Second Lady Zhuo hurriedly defended: "The concubine happened to have some minor illnesses in the past few days, and her brain was burned and confused, so she ......"
"That's enough." The emperor suddenly interrupted and instructed Geng Fang, "Go and find Zhuo Shen." ”
Second Lady Zhuo's body shook and screamed: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with General Zhuo, he doesn't know anything about it......
"Empress," the emperor picked up a cup of tea, "Second Lady Zhuo is the daughter of an important minister of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere, so I will leave it to you to dispose of." ”
Empress Cai's heart was first overjoyed, and then trembled.
said that it was handed over to her to dispose of, but it does not mean that she can end it casually, and the emperor will stare at it.
The punishment was light, and the emperor had an opinion on her.
The punishment was heavy, and there was a rift between their sisters.
Moreover, the emperor summoned Zhuo Shen, indicating that a more serious punishment may be in the future.
The Zhuo family will definitely think that Mrs. Zhuo will also have suspicion and resentment if they are involved with them.
She gritted her teeth and saluted the emperor, "The concubine has received the order, please rest assured." ”
The Cai sisters withdrew cautiously and quietly, and the emperor drank tea slowly.
Xue Jinyi took the opportunity to glance at King Chu.
King Chu was still frosty between his eyebrows, but behind this, she saw gentleness.
She panicked inexplicably and let go of King Chu's hand.
At this time, the emperor put down the teacup and spoke again, "King Chu and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo should step aside." ”
Anyway, the eldest princess would tell them, so Xue Jinyi and the King of Chu saluted in a proper manner, exited the Liangyi Palace, and as soon as they walked down the steps, they saw a middle-aged man in armor running in a hurry, and saw that the King of Chu just said hello hastily.
When he walked away, the king of Chu said: "He is Zhuo Shen, the general of the Longwu Army." ”
Xue Jinyi nodded, far away from the Liangyi Palace, she finally felt hungry.
"Let's go," taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road, she smiled and beckoned to the King of Chu, "Let's eat something good." ”
