Chapter 879: Coercion and Temptation
Chapter 879 Coercion and Temptation.
Now that Zhu Di has spoken, Ji Gang is no longer reluctant, so he has no choice but to do so.
The eunuchs in the palace hurriedly went to deliver the message, and about half an hour, they led Yang Shiqi here.
And in this half an hour, Ye Xing's expression was a little flustered, originally he was very confident in his speculation, but when the eunuch left, Ye Xing found that Ji Gang's expression was very peaceful, and he didn't seem to be worried about what he just said.
When Yang Shiqi came in to meet the emperor Zhu Di, Ye Xing's heart suddenly fell to the bottom of the lake, his guess was really wrong, he thought that Yang Shiqi admitted to killing because the people of Jinyiwei tortured him, he couldn't bear it, but when Yang Shiqi knelt down to ask Zhu Di for peace, Ye Xing clearly found that Yang Shiqi's body was very healthy, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Ye Xing couldn't believe his eyes, he came to Yang Shiqi, touched it a little disrespectfully, and then took a few steps back in amazement, almost falling to the ground.
Seeing Ye Xing like this, Yang Shiqi knelt on the ground and was also very curious, but now that he was a prisoner, he naturally didn't dare to ask more, Zhu Di saw that Yang Shiqi was intact, and it was also a little strange, he was very clear about Jinyiwei's methods, many of the tortures in Jinyiwei's prison were invented and continued by his father Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had seen that level of cruelty, but now Yang Shiqi was intact and admitted to the crime, which was really strange.
After a long time, Zhu Di opened his mouth and asked: "Yang Aiqing, Ji Aiqing said that you have admitted to killing Li Shicheng, but is there such a thing?" ”
Seeing that Yang Shiqi was in good condition, Ye Xing and Zhu Di no longer had any hope, but a routine question was still necessary.
Yang Shiqi saw the emperor asking, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, it's true, then Li Shicheng was indeed killed by Weichen, and how to kill it and why he wanted to kill, Weichen has already written it down, and asked the emperor to learn clearly." ”
After hearing Yang Shiqi's words, Ye Xingzhen was a little skeptical that his ears were broken, this murder was to pay for his life, didn't Yang Shiqi know, since Ji Gang didn't torture him to extract a confession, why did he admit to killing someone, did he really kill someone, but even if he really killed someone, he wouldn't admit it so happily, right?
Ye Xing's mind was very confused, he found that he couldn't understand some literati of the Ming Dynasty, what was going on in their heads, didn't they know that life was precious?
It's incomprehensible, it's really incomprehensible, not only Ye Xing doesn't understand, but even Zhu Di doesn't understand, but he has no way to ask, if Yang Shiqi has already admitted that he killed someone, then what does it mean for them to ask again, do they have to ask Yang Shiqi to overturn his words?
Zhu Di can't do this kind of thing, and he can't do it, and Ye Xing, because of the anger and grievance in his heart, also looked at it for a while, and remembered Yang Shiqi's last sentence, 'Please also ask the emperor to know the truth', Ye Xing felt angry, this kind of murderous testimony, what else is there to know, since you have already admitted to killing, why do you want the emperor to know it?
The matter was a bit dramatic, and after Yang Shiqi admitted that he had killed someone, there was nothing to ask about this matter, so Zhu Di asked Yang Shiqi to be taken down and handed over to Dali Temple for judgment.
The matter is already true, and Yang Shiqi will not be able to live.
After the matter was resolved, Ji Gang left a little proudly, and Ye Xing also left with doubts after asking Zhu Di for peace.
At this time, in early autumn, but there are signs of decay, the autumn wind blows, there is already coolness, coolness invades the skin, there is an indescribable spicy, the dusk is over, the pedestrians on the street do not dissipate, the capital is the capital, it is always more lively than other places.
Ye Xing thought about Yang Shiqi's sentence of asking the emperor to Mingjian, and always felt strange, a person who confessed to his crime should ask the emperor to spare his life or forgive his sin, the word Mingjian should be said by a wronged person, but Yang Shiqi has already admitted the crime, why did he say this?
Is there a hint of it? But what did he want to imply, imply that he was wronged? But since he was wronged, why didn't he make things clear in front of the emperor?
Is there something wrong with him? Thinking so, Ye Xing returned to the Zhongshan Palace.
After coming to the Zhongshan Palace, Hua Zhimeng hurriedly came out and said, "Just now, the prince sent someone to say that after you come back, you will go to the East Palace." ”
After listening to Hua Zhimeng's words, Ye Xing was a little puzzled, didn't they talk to the prince not long ago, why did this prince see him again, did he already know about Yang Shiqi?
Thinking that the prince is by no means stupid, there should be a lot of his own spies, it will not be difficult to know about Yang Shiqi's affairs, Ye Xing thought about it carefully, and he didn't care about telling Hua Zhimeng and the others about his affairs in the palace, so he hurriedly rushed to the East Palace, Hua Zhimeng saw Ye Xing like this, and he could only sigh in understanding.
When he came to the East Palace, the sky was already slightly dark, and there were no pedestrians near the East Palace, after Ye Xing quietly flashed into the East Palace, he immediately went to see the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi was eating snacks, for fat people, it seemed that they were eating all the time.
Seeing Ye Xing coming, Zhu Gaochi put down his snacks, and then said: "You are finally here, Yang Shiqi has been identified as a murderer by the people of Jinyiwei, this matter is not easy to handle!" ”
It is reasonable for the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to be so worried, most of the literati support the benevolent Zhu Gaochi, and among these literati, the first to bear the brunt is Yang Shiqi, and now losing Yang Shiqi is equivalent to cutting off one of the prince's arms.
Ye Xing saw that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was so nervous, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, the prince, I already knew about this matter when I met the emperor, and I have also met Yang Shiqi, he admitted that he killed Li Shicheng, this is the most difficult place!" ”
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What, Yang Shiqi admitted that he killed Li Shicheng?" This is absolutely impossible, impossible, how could Yang Shiqi, a literati, do something poisoning! ”
Why can't literati do poisoning things, Ye Xing felt a little ridiculous, but he also understood that what the crown prince Zhu Gaochi said didn't mean that, he just felt that Yang Shiqi couldn't do this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty the Prince, I also think that Yang Shiqi can't do this kind of thing, he admits that it is very likely that there is a bitterness in killing people, so I want to know all the things about Yang Shiqi, of course, it may also include the relationship between Yang Shiqi and His Majesty the Prince, if the prince wants to save Yang Shiqi, please tell His Majesty the Crown Prince the truth."
After Ye Xing finished speaking, he looked at the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and didn't say a word.
