"Your Highness? His Royal Highness King Su? ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, staring intently at Uncle Yuanling Hou, as if he hadn't heard his words, the Daliang Mansion Zheng Chu Shuli slapped the startled wood, so as to bring Zhao Hongrun back to his senses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, in the hall, it is not easy for him to make a move in favor of Zhao Hongrun.

This shocking sound finally made Zhao Hongrun come back to his senses and set his eyes on Chu Shuli again.

Seeing this, Chu Shuli asked: "His Royal Highness King Su, the Marquis of Yuanling, His Royal Highness once threatened him in front of everyone at the banquet in King Qing's mansion, saying that he would send his subordinates to make the shops and properties under the name of the Marquis of Yuanling bad, and do bad business for the Marquis of Yuanling, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded and said truthfully: "Back to Lord Chu, this king did say so. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Sun Mou, the Marquis of Humu, sneering beside him: "The matter is already very clear. ”

Seeing this, Chu Shuli frowned, patted the shocked wood and reprimanded: "When this government interrogates you, please don't speak casually, otherwise, don't blame this government for expelling you and others in the name of disrupting the court!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Humu, looked pale and apologized to Chu Shuli again and again.

Seeing this, Chu Shuli turned his gaze to Zhao Hongrun again, and asked: "On the second day of the first month of November, His Royal Highness King Su said this, and in the middle of the month, the family business of the Marquis of Yuanling in Yuanling County was really attacked, how does His Royal Highness King Su explain this?" ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this: "Three adults Mingjian, this matter has nothing to do with this king. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Yuanling Hou scolded angrily: "Zhao Run, you dare to do it but don't dare to do it?!" ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Uncle Hou Yu of Yuanling, and said with a smile: "This king has always been above board, as long as it is an order from this king, even if his subordinates go too far and set fire to your Hou mansion, this king will still recognize it." …… But this matter has nothing to do with this king. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Jian, the Marquis of Bandung, ask suspiciously: "In this case, dare to ask His Royal Highness King Su, what is the explanation for His Royal Highness King Su's words in King Qing's mansion that day?" ”

Chu Shuli frowned, and was about to scold Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, but then, the movements in his hands paused, and it seemed that he also wanted to hear Zhao Hongrun's explanation.

After all, these two things are too coincidental - half a month before the king of Su said that he would ruin the business of Yuanling Hou in Yuanling County, but half a month later, many of Yuanling Hou's shops in Yuanling County were really smashed, and it is really difficult to convince the public to say that the two are completely unrelated.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, pursed his lips and said lightly: "Oh, that sentence, that sentence was just said casually, and it shouldn't be ......true."

Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, sneered and said: "The words that are said are like water spilled out, and it is difficult to collect the water. …… As far as I know, His Royal Highness King Su has always kept his word, right? ”

“……”

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said lightly: "Words must be fulfilled, referring to the promise made by this king. On the day of Zhao Wufu, did this king promise to smash the family business of the Marquis of Yuanling? …… This king has said a lot in the past, and some of them are just words that are just momentarily appropriate, and they may not be able to be taken seriously, just like at this moment, this king opens his mouth and says that I am the father of your "Marquis Zhao Jian of Bandung", you will not believe this and kowtow to recognize this king as your father, right? …… If you accuse the king of that day by what you said that day, the king will not deny it. ”

"You ......" Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, turned red with anger, gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness King Su is good at sophistry, and this marquis has learned it." …… But in any case, His Royal Highness King Su said those words that day, and there were more than 100 guests who could testify at that time, even if His Royal Highness King Su denied it today, falsely claiming that what he said that day was just a joke, I believe it is difficult to convince the public. …… Hmph, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun chuckled lightly and said lightly: "In the world, of course, there will be no such coincidence. …… But who can guarantee that this matter is not a conspiracy by you and others, allowing the Marquis of Yuanling to steal and thieves to be thieves, and deliberately damage the reputation of this king? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the Marquis of Yuan Ling's face was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Zhao Hongrun tremblingly, and scolded in a low voice: "Zhao Run! You dare to ......."

"Presumptuous!" Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao shouted loudly beside him: "Marquis Yuanling, please respect yourself!" ”

At this time, Chu Shuli, the head of the Daliang Mansion, also patted the hall and stopped the hall, and then, he looked at Zhao Hongrun and hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Su, there may be something His Highness doesn't know." …… The government can't tell whether it was the Marquis of Yuanling himself who framed His Highness, but in this case, the six-year-old grandson of the Marquis of Yuanling, Yushun, was pushed in the chaos and accidentally knocked his head on the stone steps in front of the shop, and is still unconscious......"

『……』

Zhao Hongrun frowned silently.

In all fairness, at the beginning, he was suspicious of Uncle Yuanling Hou himself.

Because both sides know each other that after he, Zhao Hongrun, after getting the support of Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and others, he will definitely start to try to suppress some of the domestic nobles who were piled up on the opposite side by him, such as the marquis of Yuanling.

In this case, it is not impossible for Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu and others to seize on his Zhao Hongrun's words in Qingwang's Mansion that day as a loophole, self-destruct the family business, the thief shouts to catch the thief, and deliberately damage his Zhao Hongrun's reputation.

But then again, in order to frame him Zhao Hongrun and take his own grandson, is the price too great?

You must know that even if the Marquis of Yuanling and these people successfully framed him Zhao Hongrun, at most he would let Zhao Hongrun admit his mistake in public, make amends, and then be punished to the Zongfu Pass for a period of confinement.

If you want to say what benefits Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu and others have gotten, at best, Zhao Hongrun will not be able to suppress them in a short period of time, that's all.

In this regard, is the sacrifice made by Uncle Yuanling Marquis really worth it?

Zhao Hongrun, who destroyed most of the family property, took his own grandson, and risked the felony of framing the prince to frame him, in exchange, but Zhao Hongrun had no way to deal with them for the time being.

"Something isn't right...... It's really not right.'"

Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, the king of Anping, who were also listening, and found that the brows of the latter two were also deeply furrowed.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and said to Uncle Yuanling Hou: "Yuanling Hou, although this king did say that kind of thing that day, but that word was just to intimidate you. …… It is undeniable that this king is indeed preparing to deal with you and use you to make an example of you, but this king is using legitimate means. I am not afraid to tell you that this king has secretly asked someone to collect all kinds of criminal evidence from the top and bottom of your Yuanling Marquis, including your annexation of land, lending money and rent, raising the price of rice, smuggling coarse salt, and forcing the people to become tenants. …… If you think about it, this king is also a man who cherishes his wings, would he risk teaching the truth to do so? ”

“……”

Uncle Yuanling Hou looked at Zhao Hongrun suspiciously when he heard this, and the anger in his eyes faded a little.

After all, Zhao Hongrun has already said it very bluntly - this king has collected all kinds of evidence of your crimes, and it is too easy to deal with your Yuanling Marquis, and he can use this kind of indiscriminate tricks?

As the so-called self-affairs are clear, the light is the crimes listed by Zhao Hongrun, and Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu has already believed a little.

Not to mention anything else for the time being, just talking about this 'smuggling coarse salt', the imperial court has been very strict about it in the past two years.

Of course, although he already believed a little in his heart, Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu would not be stupid enough to acquiesce in these charges, so he immediately spoke: "His Royal Highness King Su should not wronged a good person......

That being said, but from his name for Zhao Hongrun, his weakness at the moment has been exposed.

You must know that in Fangcai, he called Zhao Hongrun "Zhao Run", but now, he called him "His Royal Highness King Su", after understanding this meaning, Daliang Mansion Zheng Chu Shuli, Criminal Department Shangshu Tang Zheng and Dali Temple Xu Rong all shook their heads slightly and slandered in their hearts.

If it weren't for the important trial of these three adults this time, which involved the case of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, maybe they would have to review Uncle Yuanling Hou - just like Zhao Hongrun said, the list of criminal evidence alone is enough for the court to ask Uncle Yuanling Hou Xu, and even serious enough to cut off his marquis.

But the top priority is to wash away the stigma of King Zhao Hongrun as soon as possible, so Chu Shuli and the other three adults pretended not to hear it.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun asked Uncle Yuanling Hou: "Yuanling Hou, why did you think that you are a subordinate under this king?" ”

Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice: "It is the inference of the order of the family in my mansion...... At the time of the incident, he had inquired and learned that the subordinates under the command of His Royal Highness King Su had passed through my Yuanling County and returned to Shangshui, so he ......"

The family order in his mouth is the housekeeper of his Yuanling Mansion.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "Where is this person now?" ”

"In order to testify, I summoned him to Daliang, and he is now waiting in the carriage outside the house." Uncle Yuanling Hou replied.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun looked up at the Daliang Mansion Zheng Chu Shuli.

Chu Shuli understood, nodded and said: "The Marquis of Chuanyuan Mausoleum has entered the hall!" ”

Not long after, there was a servant of the Great Liang Mansion who brought the Yuanling Marquis to the hall, it was an old man who was about forty or fifty years old, with a good appearance, and did not look like a traitor.

Seeing this, Chu Shuli patted the shocked wood and asked: "Xuanguan, this mansion is Chu Shuli, the main government of the Daliang Mansion, this time with the criminal department Shangshu and Dali Temple Qingzheng two adults to try this case, and you will witness the day after 1510 to tell this mansion, there can be no lie." ”

"Yes." Yuanling Hou Jialing nodded a little fearfully, and then secretly glanced at Uncle Yuanling Hou, and saw the latter nodding, so he said: "On that day, the villain took the little master to the street, passing by my shop, and saw a group of people arguing with the guys in the store, so he stepped forward to take a look, but I didn't expect that the group of gangsters and the guys in the store did not agree with each other, and smashed the store.......

Chu Shuli stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then asked, "But you identified those gangsters as Shangshuiyi soldiers who passed through Yuanling?" ”

He waved his hand again and again, and said: "The villain has never said such a thing, the villain just heard that there is such a thing, so he mentioned a sentence in the letter to the prince......"

Before the words fell, I saw Tang Zheng, the secretary of the criminal department who had been closing his eyes and recuperating beside him, suddenly opened his eyes.

"But why do you mention the matter of 'Su Wangjun passing through the Yuanling' in your family letter?"
