Chapter 39: Reversal (II)

Wang An stepped over the corpses of Dongchang Fanzi all over the ground with a calm face, as if he hadn't seen the bloody scene, walked to the chair on the side, lifted his robe and sat down.

"Attacking Dongchang and kidnapping court officials are capital crimes." As soon as Wang An sat down, he squinted and asked, "Qin Qianhu, what are you going to do?" ”

As soon as Wang An came in, he took the lead in mastering the rhythm of the conversation, and didn't give Qin Rongshuai a chance to talk about it at all.

Qin Rongshuai just smiled, "They said that I poisoned the emperor, do you believe it?" ”

"Poison?!" Wang An's eyes widened, "Who said that?" ”

"Sure enough, Dongchang did this thing from you." Qin Rongshuai continued to smile, "Father-in-law, your subordinates have done a lot of things behind their backs without telling you. ”

"They rushed into the Yamen of the Fusi of Beizhen this morning, saying that they had taken your hand and wanted to arrest me and Lu Zhenfu, on the charge of forming a party and plotting rebellion and poisoning the emperor."

"I won't say anything else, just ask, say that Qin Rong poisoned Your Majesty, do you believe this?"

"These bastards!" Wang An slapped the table with a gloomy face and scolded.

From Zhu Changluo's serious illness to Qin Rongshuai's rescue of Zhu Changluo, Wang An has always been outside the palace, and he knows what happened best.

"As soon as I entered the dungeon of Dongchang, Zheng Zhangban wanted to kill me, I don't know why." Qin Rongshuai said and took out a few official documents from his arms, "But when I was arrested, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple all issued official documents, father-in-law, please see, the crime written on it is to form a party and plot rebellion, poison and kill the king." ”

Wang An's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he stretched out his hand to take the official documents, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became.

"And Zheng Zhangban has never shown me my father-in-law's edict from beginning to end, so I want to ask my father-in-law." Qin Rongshuai looked directly at Wang An, "Father-in-law, did you write this in your edict?" ”

Wang Gonggong did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Where is Zheng An now?" ”

"Zheng Zhangban is in the dungeon now, he is fine, but he is a little frightened." Qin Rongshuai smiled, "I, Qin Rong, can guarantee that I have never tortured them." ”

Wang An stared at Qin Rongshuai and said slowly: "They said that the emperor was sick, and Qin Qianhu, you have excellent medical skills, and you must know some inside information, so I asked you to ask." ”

"Your Majesty was really poisoned?"

"It's poisoning."

"Someone deliberately murdered?"

"I didn't know before, but now I'm pretty sure." Qin Rongshuai said very seriously, "They must kill me today, then someone must have deliberately poisoned me." ”

Wang An was shocked and angry, "Who is it?" Is it Concubine Zheng? ”

Qin Rongshuai shook his head, "I also suspected that it was Concubine Zheng's hand at first, because Cui Wensheng was Concubine Zheng's person, but I don't think it necessarily was them." ”

"Why?" Wang An was a little puzzled.

"Because of the means they take are problematic." Qin Rongshuai explained, "Taking advantage of the emperor's weak body, using laxative medicine, this trick seems to be vicious, but there are too many loopholes, and the most important thing is that diarrhea does not necessarily kill people." ”

"Since you are going to kill the king and rebel, why don't you choose a more secure way? If the emperor survived, wouldn't they be in a catastrophe? Why don't you just choose to poison, you have to do it too much. ”

"If it is poisoned, they will not have a chance, Cui Wensheng only prescribes prescriptions, dispensing medicines, decocting medicines, and even feeding medicine to His Majesty, there are different people in charge, and before His Majesty takes the medicine, Lu Zhenfu will personally taste it."

"Who did that?" Wang An asked with a gloomy face.

"I don't know who it is." Qin Rongshuai smiled and said, "If you ask directly who the murderer is today, it will be difficult for me to answer, because I have not investigated this case, so I can't frame it out of thin air." ”

"But I can tell me everything I know, and then you will judge for yourself, Princess."

Wang An nodded, very satisfied with Qin Rongshuai's words, "You speak." ”

"Your Majesty's body was extremely weak after the diarrhea stopped, but he did not fall into a coma, and there were other reasons for His Majesty's coma." Qin Rongshuai suddenly asked, "Your Majesty summoned Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple to meet you, does your father-in-law know why?" ”

Wang An was stunned for a moment, "Li Kezhuo entered the palace to face the saint, I know, he has something to do with this matter?" ”

"It's a very big deal." Qin Rongshuai nodded and said, "At that time, Li Kezhuo was with His Majesty the first assistant of the cabinet, and at that time, Li Kezhuo presented a pill of elixir to His Majesty, and His Majesty felt refreshed after eating it. After three days, Li Kezhuo offered the elixir for the second time, and His Majesty fell unconscious after taking it. ”

Wang An slapped the table angrily and stood up, "Bold Li Kezhuo, he even murdered the saint, come on!" ”

"Father-in-law, please don't be impatient." Qin Rongshuai stopped Wang An, "It's not too late for you to arrest people after you finish listening." ”

Wang An held back his anger this time, sat down again, and said with a pale face: "You continue to speak." ”

"Whether the elixir offered by Li Kezhuo is poisonous or not, Qin can't be verified." Qin Rongshuai continued, "But don't you think it's strange how his little Honglu Temple was known by His Majesty? ”

"Bold!" Wang An said with a gloomy face: "Qin Rong, are you alluding to Elder Fang Ge?" ”

"No, no, no." Qin Rongshuai shook his head very calmly, "Elder Fang Ge has nothing to do with this matter, because Elder Fang Ge doesn't know Li Kezhuo either, and he also obeyed His Majesty's orders and brought Li Kezhuo into the palace." ”

"Don't you think it's strange? Fang Ge Lao doesn't know Li Kezhuo, His Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he doesn't even know all the civil and military officials, why does he know a Honglu Temple? And do you know that he has an elixir on him? ”

"Then it must be that someone around Your Majesty has mentioned it, and even instigated Your Majesty to take the elixir."

"Princess, you are the head of the inner court, whether there is such a thing, you will definitely be able to find out if you want to find out."

Wang An's face was very ugly, "Qin Qianhu, are you slapping our family in the face?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know about such a big thing as taking the elixir, what kind of head of the inner court is called, hum!" Wang An gritted his teeth, "Okay, there are really a group of good slaves and maids in the palace." ”

Qin Rongshuai didn't speak at this time, and let Wang An figure it out by himself.

Wang An thought for a while, and then asked, "Lord Qin, do you say that this Li Kezhuo is the murderer?" ”

"Father-in-law, I just said, I don't know who is who is not, I am only responsible for telling what I know." Qin Rongshuai didn't answer either, "Whether Li Kezhuo knows, whether he personally poisoned it, or someone changed the elixir, this is easy to check, and even who Li Kezhuo has a close relationship with, he can't hide it from Dongchang and Jinyiwei." ”

"Father-in-law, let's put Li Kezhuo aside first." Qin Rongshuai suddenly said, "What I want to say is another thing, three months ago, Jin Yiwei received a strange case. ”

Then Qin Rongshuai told the murder case of the restaurant in detail.

"The dead Cui Bizhong was the steward of the imperial dining room before, and whether it has anything to do with Cui Wensheng or not, this can be known at a glance, but the biggest suspicion in this case is Cui Bizhong's wound."

"Others died from knife wounds, but Cui Bizhong died from sword wounds. was tortured and interrogated before he died, obviously it could not be the Zheng family who killed people and killed people. So the murderer must be another group of people, what did these people ask? ”

"Three months later, Cui Wensheng prescribed a pair of medicines to His Majesty, and His Majesty fell ill."

Wang An narrowed his eyes, "Qin Qianhu, what exactly do you want to say?" ”

"I checked the masters who used swords in the capital, and coincidentally, one was the guard of Lord Yang Lianyang, one was the butler of Lord Zuo Guangdou, and the other was the guardian of Lord Zou Yuanbiao." Qin Rongshuai looked at Wang An with a smile, "These adults must be no strangers, I heard that these people are friends with you." ”

Wang An stood up suddenly, glaring at Qin Rongshuai tightly, "Bold Qin Rong!" It is a capital crime to frame a court official! ”

"Father-in-law, I didn't frame a few adults." Qin Rongshuai didn't panic at all, and said with a smile, "I just told what I knew, and I didn't testify anything." ”

Wang An's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally sat down slowly as if he had lost his strength.

"I boldly speculate that the master with the sword must have known about some people's plans from Cui Bizhong's mouth, so these people will plan and prepare to reap some benefits here." Qin Rongshuai struck while the iron was hot and continued, "As for what the benefits are, if Your Majesty has any accidents, then the Elder Fang Pavilion will definitely become the target of the public, and at that time, the Elder Fang Pavilion will either resign or go to prison, and the position of the head of the cabinet will be vacant." ”

"Ridiculous! Darn! Wang An couldn't help but scold, and he didn't know whether he was scolding Qin Rongshuai or some courtiers.

"But seeing that Your Majesty is fine, then some people can't help it, or they are already ready to send it, but unexpectedly, Cui Wensheng pulled his crotch, so they did it themselves." Qin Rongshuai was not affected in the slightest, and continued to speak unhurriedly.

"To put it irreverently, no matter who is the emperor, those who are officials can still be officials, and even they wish for another meritorious service."

"But father-in-law, you are different, you are His Majesty's man."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Wang An realized it at once. He made friends with the courtiers, and he also wanted to make a career and go down in history, like Zheng He and Feng Bao, but who knew that the court was so sinister.

Wang An's expression changed, as if he had made another decision, and only said faintly after a long time, "Is there any evidence for this?" ”

"There are confessions from officials from Dali Temple, Criminal Department, Yushi, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei." Qin Rongshuai then threw out another bombshell and handed it to Wang An.

Wang Anleng paused for a moment, frowned and said, "Bending into a trick, this is not convincing enough!" ”

"How can the prince smear people's innocence out of thin air!" Qin Rongshuai looked innocent, "I didn't beat them, this is because they were inspired by the personality charm of the lower officials and voluntarily confessed their guilt." ”

Wang An was stunned for a moment, "Really? ”

"Father-in-law, please take a look." Saying that, Qin Rongshuai led Wang An into the dungeon and let him see those officials one by one.

Wang An saw that those people were not in a trance except for the slightest scar, so he nodded with satisfaction, "Lord Qin, good means!" ”

Qin Rongshuai smiled shyly, "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and my father-in-law has won the award." ”

Wang An didn't speak, and looked at Qin Rongshuai for a long time before he said, "How can you be sure that I didn't order you to kill you?" ”

"It's very simple, the person who wants to kill me and frame me for rebellion must really want to harm Your Majesty." Qin Rongshuai replied, "Everyone can harm Your Majesty, but your prince is the most unlikely to harm Your Majesty." ”

"So as soon as they charged me with the crime, I knew that they must kill me, and the matter of Your Majesty's poisoning, except for the person who really poisoned me and me, the imperial doctors didn't know."

Wang An sighed, "Now I am loyal to Your Majesty, and there are no two people, I'm afraid there are only you and me." ”

Qin Rongshuai didn't dare to accept this, so he could only give a salute.

Wang An turned around and walked out, withdrew all the soldiers and horses around the East Factory, and went straight to Fang Congzhe's mansion, and the two talked until late at night.

Fang Congzhe entered the palace overnight, and then asked the emperor to issue an edict, ordering Dongchang and Jinyiwei to arrest the rebellious party.

The entire capital was overcast, and countless Jinyi Guard captains and Dongchang fans went out everywhere, slammed open the doors of courtiers one by one, and arrested people according to the list with driving posts and chains.

The capital is once again in chaos.
