The Jingzhao Mansion also worked overtime tonight to interrogate Huang Quan severely.
The wine has been found to be poisonous, and there was no hidden agenda. Why did Chen Dalong need to be poisoned?
Huang Quan initially wanted to cover it up and find someone to go to the Chu family for help. After all, as the son-in-law of the Chu family, he had accumulated a lot of connections over the years.
However, the prince and King Qi personally supervised the case. The prince was even present during the interrogation. The intimidation and suppression of the imperial bloodline broke his defense. Especially when he thought that Chen Dalong who came to see him was General Jingting, he knew that he could not
Let’s leave Jingzhao Mansion again.
Confession became his only way out.
It turned out that he had never thought about marrying Wu Wen and getting close to Wu Wen. He just wanted to use her money to make friends with the powerful children in the capital and let the powerful children introduce him to the bachelor's school on their behalf.
Dealing with the rich and powerful's children is indispensable for sending and receiving money, but Wu Wen is obsessed with his knowledge, and reading a poem to her can make her fascinated.
Moreover, he also told her many stories, in which the rich lady supported the scholar to obtain the first prize, and later became the wife of the first prize, enjoying all the glory and wealth throughout her life, and achieving a class jump.
After telling such stories so many times, Wu Wen longed for the day when she could become the first lady and have a noble status.
Although she didn't have much money, her family was wealthy and her parents would buy her any jewelry she wanted.
She even gave Huang Quan the jewelry that Chen Wu had given her when they got engaged, asking him to build relationships and pave the way for his future official career.
"However, just a few months before the scientific examination was held, she actually proposed marriage to me. She was afraid that if I really won the first prize in the examination, I would not want her. She is actually very smart and not stupid at all."
"Although I was tired of it at that time, I still needed money to invite those rich and powerful children to have drinks, so I could only drag her away on the grounds that she was engaged. Little did I know that she threatened her parents with death and asked her parents to annul the engagement. Her parents came to me.
, I could only swear to her parents and promise to be good to her in the future, but in the end I didn’t mean it. Maybe her parents didn’t like me very much. It seemed very wronged for me to tell these things in front of her, which made her get some valuables.
Give me jewelry as compensation."
When Huang Quan said this, he actually smiled. He didn't know whether it was a bitter smile or a sarcastic smile, "This is a period of history that I don't want to recall. Now that I am in a high and powerful position, I once defrauded women of their money."
The prince said coldly: "You are now a prisoner. Moreover, you not only defrauded the woman of money, but also killed her. Why did you kill her?"
Huang Quan sighed deeply, "Her persistence hurt her. Originally, her parents and Chen Wu did not agree to break off the engagement, but after her troubles, her parents actually relented. She asked someone to send me a letter,
She said that the only obstacle now is Chen Wu. She has invited Chen Wu to the west building. She wants to tell him that she and I are ready for each other, which makes Chen Wu give up. But in fact, she and I have always treated each other with courtesy.
Although I used her money, I never deceived her body."
"Once she successfully breaks off the engagement, it means that I have to marry her. And if she uses such an excuse to have a showdown with Chen Wu, it will hurt my reputation too much. I am determined to win the scientific examination, but if I have an affair with a woman before I am married, I am afraid that
It’s hard to have a bright future, so after receiving the letter, I went to the west building and waited for her to show up. I asked someone to send her a note saying that I missed her and asked her to send her maid away to meet me. Why did she have to send her away?
Maid, it’s because this maid talks nonsense.”
The prince suddenly interjected, "At that time, there was an official who was particularly interested in you. He once told others that if you can be on the list, he will marry his daughter to you, right? You are the one who made friends with these words.
I learned about it from the mouth of a powerful disciple."
Huang Quan was startled, then smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, can you even find out these things? It seems that the minister can no longer hide anything today."
"I have investigated every detail." The prince said lightly, "Go on."
Huang Quan's face began to become indifferent, "I took her to meet her in the woods. We have been to that place countless times. I really didn't have the intention to kill her at the time. I just hoped that she could change the way to break off the engagement so as not to harm me.
Honor, but the person who said she loved you actually acted very viciously. She said that only by saying this, I would not let her down after high school."
"I begged her for a long time, begging her like a dog, but she was indifferent and didn't care about my future at all. At that moment, I hated her so much that I wanted to kill her."
After many years, when he talked about this, there was still hatred on his face. He didn't understand what he valued so much, but the person who kept saying he loved you didn't care at all. One word could easily destroy all his efforts.
He had an affair with someone else's fiancée. This stain could not be washed away, and it was impossible for him to enter the officialdom. He had no choice but to kill her.
