Jiang Huan pointed at Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu and said loudly: "That's him, he's the one who instigated me! He said that the current emperor is stupid and wants me to assassinate Emperor Xin, and he will replace him!"
Jiang Huanchu was stunned for a moment, pointed at Jiang Huan and said angrily: "You are spitting on others! You are spitting on others! When did I instruct you? How could I, the leader of the Eastern Territory, instruct you, a warrior, to assassinate the king?"
"Your Majesty, Jiang Huanchu is sincerely serving the country and has no intention of usurping the country. Your Majesty, please be aware of this!" Jiang Huanchu said loudly and bowed to Zi Shou.
"Fei Aiqing will naturally judge the merits and demerits." Zi Shou said expressionlessly.
Of course he knew that this was a frame-up, and the method of frame-up was very crude, but at this time Zi Shou just wanted to fail the mission and go home, and did not care who Fei Zhong framed the blame for.
What's more, Jiang Huanchu was also destined to die in the original plot.
"Jiang Huan, let me ask you, you said Jiang Huanchu asked you to assassinate the king, when did Jiang Huanchu order you?" Fei Zhong said to Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huan thought for a moment and said, "It was last night, last night."
"That's nonsense. Last night I was drinking with Xibohou, Beibohou and Nanbohou at Jintingguanyi. How could I have ordered you? Thief, don't spit on others!" Jiang Huanchu roared.
"Okay, Fei will make his own decision." Fei Zhong looked at the other three princes and said, "Jiang Huanchu drank with the three princes last night, but did he ever leave the post pavilion?"
Xibohou thought for a while and said: "Jiang Xianbo was very drunk last night and had to be helped to rest early. But Ji Chang thought, Dongbohou was also loyal to the country, how could he murder your majesty? Could it be the murderer's intention?
Putting the blame on this? We still need to investigate clearly."
Zi Shou watched with cold eyes. Fortunately, Ji Chang was not interrogated, otherwise the real culprit might have been found out.
"Beibohou has something to say." At this time, Chonghou Hu stood up with a sneer on his face: "Your Majesty, when I was drinking with the three princes last night, Dongbohou was very drunk.
I once scolded your majesty for being stupid, and the ministers advised him not to talk nonsense. Instead, he said that your majesty favored treacherous ministers, which was very unpopular with the people. In my opinion, Dong Bohou may not have the intention to rebel! These words are not my own.
, at that time Xibohou and Nanbohou also heard it."
Fei Zhong looked at Ji Chang and asked: "Master Marquis, has Dong Bohou ever cursed Your Majesty?"
Ji Chang nodded.
Then Fei Zhong asked E Chongyu again, and E Chongyu said: "Dong Bohou is just talking nonsense after drinking..."
"Hmph, you are talking nonsense while drunk. I'm afraid you must be telling the truth after being drunk!" Chonghou Hu sneered.
"Chonghou Hu, you...you...I made a drunken gaffe!" Jiang Huanchu broke out in a cold sweat.
"So, Dong Bohou, you do have the intention to rebel! You pretended to be drunk and retreated last night. The three princes thought you were drunk, but they didn't expect that you secretly hired someone to assassinate the king!" Fei Zhong sneered.
"I, I didn't!" Jiang Huanchu retorted strongly: "I am loyal to the country, how could I possibly murder the king? Your king, please investigate clearly!"
At this time, the attendant said: "Empress Su is waiting for orders outside the palace."
"Xuan." Zi Shou's face was expressionless.
Su Daji came with the money and collected her quilt as a gift: "A bold thief dares to murder the king. If he is not punished with death, it is difficult to prove that the country's laws are strict. I have a punishment called Pao Lao. It can be made according to what I said. If these thieves don't tell me
If you tell the truth, you will be punished with this punishment!"
"Then just follow what Empress Su said and continue to cast the cannon." Zishou was also very interested in this cannon and immediately ordered people to cast the cannon quickly.
There were many craftsmen in the Great Shang Dynasty. Under the instructions of Su Daji and the supervision of Yuan Hong, the craftsmen built it. It took less than half a day to cast a giant bronze furnace.
"Come here, bring up the cannon quickly." Zishou also wanted to see what the cannon looked like.
Soon, the craftsmen pushed the giant bronze furnace into the temple.
This cannon has a copper pillar as thick as one person can hold it. There is a fire door in the middle for lighting a fire. There is a rolling plate at the bottom, which can be rolled with a slight push. It is very convenient.
"This cannon only needs to be heated underneath until the copper pillar turns red, and then the person can be tied to it, and it will play the role of enforcing the national law." Su Daji explained with a smile.
The ministers on both sides broke out in cold sweats after hearing this. How did this Madam Su come up with such a vicious instrument of torture?
"Come here, heat up the cannons!" Fei Zhong ordered the craftsman to heat up the red cannons. He looked at the pale Dongbohou and sneered: "Dongbohou, do you want to use it or not? If you don't use it, you will be punished!"
"
Jiang Huanchu glanced at the red-hot Paolao, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.
As the fire gradually burned red, the entire hall was scorching with heat, and the expressions of the ministers began to change.
If a person were tied to such a cannon, wouldn't he be instantly scalded to death?
This Su Daji is so vicious-hearted!
When a stick of incense passed by, the cannon burned red, and waves of heat were pushed out in all directions.
"Jiang Huanchu, one last question for you, do you want to recruit or not?" Fei Zhong sneered.
"I've never done this before, where do I start from?" Jiang Huanchu shouted.
"Master Jiang, why don't you attack first..." Ji Chang said helplessly: "It's important to save your life..."
"I have never done such a thing! What do you want me to do! Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!" Jiang Huanchu knelt down to Zisheng.
"Your Majesty, Dong Bohou is devoted to the country and has never done anything wrong. He is a pillar of the country. I'm afraid there is some grievance among them." Huang Feihu came out and pleaded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please investigate clearly. The temperature of this cannon is so high that a person could be tied to it without being scalded to death instantly." Shang Rong also came out to plead.
Zi Shou cast a cold look at Fei Zhong: "Fei Aiqing, have you found out the real culprit? If there is sufficient evidence, just arrest him!"
The subtext of "sub-suffering" is very obvious.
Okay, I know you are the real murderer.
Directly declare that Jiang Huanchu is the real murderer and will not be sentenced to death.
Seeing Zi Shou's cold eyes, Fei Zhong was startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Your Majesty, are you warning me?
Could it be that the murderer is not Jiang Huanchu but someone else!
The king is warning me not to arrest the wrong person!
Jiang Huanchu is Empress Jiang’s father, so the king should also feel that he will not be the murderer behind the scenes!
Evidence, evidence...what evidence is there?
Suddenly, Fei Zhong raised his head, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Yes, there is no evidence to say that Jiang Huanchu is the murderer behind the scenes!
On the contrary, there is enough evidence to prove that Jiang Huanchu is not the murderer!
After thinking about this, Fei Zhong showed an expression of "I see" on his face and gave Zi Shou an "I understand" look.
Zishou nodded, understand? Just understand, hurry up, arrest Jiang Huanchu, and declare the farce to be over.
Fei Zhong glanced at Jiang Huanchu, then fell on Jiang Huan, and shouted coldly: "Jiang Huan! Do you think I'm a fool? I can't see this kind of framing method! Who is the real culprit? Can't you tell me?
explain?"
Zi Shou showed an interested expression, oh, is there another trick?
"The real murderer, the real murderer is Jiang Huanchu!" Jiang Huan said with evasive eyes.
