Soon, a group of jailers from the Ministry of Punishments rushed to Zhao Shanxiang's residence, and it was Zhu Zhu who came to fetch him.
Zhao Shanxiang's identity was revealed here, so Zhu Zhuna had to come in person.
Zhao Shanxiang happened to be out visiting friends and was not at his residence. Zhao Shanxiang's son Zhao Ruxu came out to greet him.
"I don't know,,, I didn't know that my envoy came here and missed the greeting from afar. Please forgive me."
When Zhao Ruxu saw Zhu Zhu, she immediately felt uneasy and felt a little awkward when speaking.
At this moment, Zhu Zhu is being ordered to interrogate the assassination plot. Who is not afraid of him when he comes?
Zhu Zhu didn't show any airs. He raised his hand to return the salute and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I wonder if your Majesty can be at the residence?"
"Unfortunately, my father is out visiting friends and will probably have to wait a while before he comes back. I wonder why you are looking for my father?"
Zhu Zhu had some embarrassment on his face, but finally said: "I am waiting here, please ask someone to urge you."
Zhao Ruxuan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition, "Yes, please wait a moment inside, and I'll send someone to urge you."
He ordered his servants to look for him. Zhao Ruxuan found an opportunity and quietly handed Zhu Zhu a jade Ruyi and said, "I dare to ask the envoy, why is the envoy so anxious to find my father?"
Zhu Zhu did not accept the gift and declined. He said: "It is not appropriate to talk more about this matter. We will wait until your father comes back."
Zhao Ruxuan couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to go out to search for it in person, but was stopped by the guards from the Ministry of Punishment and refused to go out.
Zhao Ruyuan suddenly woke up and realized that her father must have been involved in the conspiracy. She was so frightened that her legs trembled and she couldn't stand still. With a thud, she fell to the ground.
After waiting for about half an hour, Zhao Shanxiang came back.
As soon as Zhao Shanxiang arrived, dozens of members of his family burst into tears. Zhao Shanxiang looked at Zhu Zhu with a confused look on his face and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Zhu Zhu raised his hand and said: "I would also like to ask you to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. As for your family papers, they will be in the mansion for the time being."
Zhao Shanxiang was stunned for a moment, but he soon realized what he was doing and said angrily: "Your Majesty, are you doubting me?"
Zhu Zhu's face was expressionless and he said: "It's a routine matter, please understand me, don't let people get misunderstood for no reason."
Zhao Shanxiang was so angry that his face turned pale with anger, but he also knew that if he was involved in a treason conspiracy, it would not be Zhu Zhu who had the final say whether he would be arrested or not.
"Hmph, let's see what evidence you have to come to interrogate me!"
Zhao Shanxiang had no choice but to follow Zhu Zhu even though he was angry.
When they arrived at the Criminal Department, Jiang Wanli and Li Zongmian saluted Zhao Shanxiang with complicated expressions, and then a jailer brought a chair.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Jiang Wanli asked Zhao Shanxiang to take a seat.
Zhao Shanxiang looked calm and sat down peacefully.
Then Zhu Zhu didn't speak, Li Zongmian didn't speak, Zhu Zhu didn't speak, and Zhao Shanxiang didn't speak either. The scene fell into embarrassment and depression.
Finally, Jiang Wanli broke the silence. He told Zhao Shanxiang truthfully what Zhou Cang had said, and then said: "Your Majesty, we are all colleagues, and we work together to assist the Zuo official family in running the government. It's not that I don't believe you, this is the truth."
The matter is not something we can control, so please don't blame me."
When Zhao Shanxiang learned that he had been bitten by Zhou Cang, he was extremely panicked. However, there was still no trace of emotion on his face. He nodded and said: "This is natural. Business is business. How dare I blame you envoys? This matter is of great importance. If
This is also what I will do when conducting a trial."
"It's very good to make your grudges clear." Jiang Wanli said.
Then Li Zongmian suggested to Zhao Shanxiang: "Since that guy says he is the envoy, why not let him listen and identify people through the screen. If that guy is just biting and biting randomly, he will not be able to tell the difference."
If Zhou Cang was asked to identify the person directly, then maybe Zhou Cang had secretly seen Zhao Shanxiang from a distance, and it was possible for him to recognize him.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
And if it is to identify sounds, it is several times more difficult.
Zhao Shanxiang concluded that he could not know Zhou Cang, so he naturally nodded in agreement, "That's very good."
Then someone fetched the screen, and Zhu Zhu found a dozen people of similar age to Zhao Shanxiang, and finally summoned Zhou Cang.
Zhu Zhu said to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, you said that you have met Zhao Shanxiang in person, then you must be able to hear Zhao's voice. Now I am asking you to identify him, please listen carefully."
After that, Zhu Zhu motioned to the people behind the screen to start talking one by one.
More than a dozen people said one by one: "Zhou Cang, you are so brave."
This sentence was repeated by more than a dozen people, but Zhou Cang finally shook his head and said: "No, Zhao Shanxiang is not here."
Zhu Zhu, Jiang Wanli, and Li Zongmian looked suspicious, because Zhao Shanxiang did not speak just now, and Zhou Cang's words were so sure, which inevitably made people think that they had indeed met.
But Zhao Shanxiang insisted that he had never met Zhou Cang, let alone talked to him.
Zhu Zhu then said: "Hmph, you are really a rogue. Just now Zhao Shijun made it clear that I will give you another chance. Please listen carefully again."
Then, the dozen people behind the screen repeated it one by one. When Zhao Shanxiang finished speaking, Zhou Cang immediately said: "That's him, that's the voice, that's Zhao Shanxiang, there's no mistaking it."
It was quiet, deathly quiet, everyone was stunned, and you could hear a needle drop at the scene.
Zhao Shanxiang came to his senses and couldn't bear it any longer. He walked out angrily and cursed Zhou Cang: "Whose instructions did you receive, how dare you frame me!"
Zhou Cang scolded: "Zhao Shanxiang, when you asked me to kill the emperor, you patted your chest and promised to let me escape safely, but now, I have been harmed by you, whether it's human beings, ghosts or not, damn it."
I regret your words to death."
After saying that, Zhou Cang said to Zhu Zhu: "He was the one who asked me to kill the emperor. In order to bribe me, he gave me ten ingots and five taels of gold ingots with the government's seal on them. You guys can bring one
You’ll know just by looking at it.”
Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where is Jin Yuanbao now?"
"There is Majia Village next to Wujiazhuang. There is a stone bridge at the entrance of the village. The gold ingot is buried beside the stone bridge."
Zhu Zhu immediately ordered people to search, and sure enough, he found ten gold ingots beside the bridge. There were several large square characters engraved on the bottom of the gold ingots, "In the fourth year of Hengsheng, Lin'an Mansion Coin Mining Department made Yi".
Government casting.
Zhao Shanxiang was now anxious. He pointed at Zhou Cang angrily and said angrily: "This gold ingot is the official silver of the government. Why do you say that I gave it to you? Can this be used as evidence?"
Zhou Cang asked confidently: "You said you didn't give it to me, then do you have evidence to prove that you didn't give it to me?"
Zhao Shanxiang was speechless, and Zhou Cang was speechless for a moment.
