Si Xi replied: "I also find it strange, but the family insists that it was borrowed by Chang Fang."
"This thing is really getting weirder and weirder." After saying this, Yinzhen fell into a long silence. I don't know how long it took, but he said: "After the next court tomorrow, Chang Fang will come to see me.
, I want to ask him personally.
The next day, Chang Fang was summoned by Yinzhen. When he asked about borrowing money, he had already received instructions from Hong Shi and insisted that he had not lent any money to Zi Rong. However, he was secretly frightened and did not understand why this matter happened.
The matter was so big that even the emperor summoned himself to the palace for questioning.
After asking Chang Fang, Yinzhen was almost certain that the silver was borrowed by Zirong Wenhong, because no matter Chang Fang's ability or asking about the situation from his mouth, it was impossible to lend two hundred taels of silver in exchange for it.
In other words, it is indeed possible that Zi Rong framed Hong Shi for revenge, but similarly, it would be too much to frame the current elder brother for two hundred taels of silver.
Yinzhen has always acted decisively, but he hesitated in this matter, unable to determine whether it was Jiang Yue or Hongshi who had an affair with the Xu family. Now it seems that Jiang Yue is more suspicious, but it only seems...
After thinking for a long time, Yinzhen finally made a decision. He called Sixi and said, "It is my decree to execute Jiang Yue and Zirong who are incarcerated in the Shenxing Division."
Si Xi was quite surprised, because in his opinion, this matter was still suspicious. Since he could see it, there was no reason why Yinzhen couldn't see it, so why was he ordered to be executed so quickly?
Just as he was hesitating whether to say anything, Yinzhen's voice came to his ears again, "Let people find two death row prisoners, a man and a woman, from the Ministry of Punishment, and let them execute Jiang Yue on their behalf. As for these two people, I will let the spies take over the secret."
Guard them. In addition, Hongshi is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment and transfers death row prisoners from the Ministry of Punishment. Don’t let him know. Also, what happened to Xu’s body?”
"When I got back to the emperor, I followed your instructions and punished her as a concubine in the cold palace. She was not buried in the imperial mausoleum. I just found a hill to bury her at will." After hearing this, Sixi still didn't understand that Yinzhen didn't believe Hong.
time, but based on what Hong Shi said, he set up another situation, and it was necessary to find out who was the person who committed adultery with Xu and killed her.
Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said: "Wash the corpses three hundred times and then throw them into mass graves. In addition, you can find someone else."
"My servant obeys the order." Si Xi didn't ask any questions and just obeyed.
If it’s Jiang Yue, he will naturally die; if it’s Hongshi... even if he doesn’t die, he will no longer be the second elder brother of the Qing Dynasty!
When the news of Yinzhen's execution of Jiang Yue and Zirong came out, although there was an uproar in the palace, they still felt that the matter was reasonable. After all, Jiang Yue and the Xu family had committed adultery, thus forming a secret marriage. As for Er A
Brother, he had nothing to do with this matter at all. He was just dragged into it for no reason by that girl Zi Rong. Now he can be considered innocent.
However, Lingruo and Guarjia didn't think so. No one knew the whole thing better than them. Jiang Yue was the most innocent one, and he had never done anything.
Guarjia originally brought Hongzhan to Chengqian Palace to play with Jiarou. He didn't expect to hear such news. He was a little unbelievable for a while. Yinzhen has always been very fair and careful in dealing with things. Now things are obviously still the same.
I have doubts as to why we should act so hastily. It is really unreasonable.
"Your Majesty...really trust the second elder brother that much?" Guarjia leaned back on his chair and said such a sentence, with deep worry in his words. If Yinzhen really trusts Hongshi, let Hongshi hide.
After this calamity, Hongshi will definitely take revenge on them crazily, which is not a good thing.
Yang Hai whispered from the side: "I heard that two days before the emperor ordered Jiang Yue to be executed, the second elder brother went to Yangxin Hall to meet the emperor. Although I don't know what he said, but after that, Eunuch Xi came out of the palace.
, and on the second day, another seventh-level canon was passed into the palace."
Guarjia hesitated and said to Ling Ruo, who had never spoken before: "Ruo'er, why don't we ask Si Xi to come and ask, you have a close relationship with him, maybe he will tell you something."
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "Although I have some contact with Si Xi because of Mo'er, Si Xi's most loyal is still the emperor. Even if I ask some things, he may not say them. Besides, even if he knows,
That’s all, it can’t change the outcome.”
Guarjia sighed softly and said: "In your opinion, let's forget it?"
"To be honest with you sister, I went to see the emperor two days ago and tested his tone. The emperor still had a lot of doubts about the Xu family. But just two days later, he suddenly issued such a decree. Sister, don't you?
Do you think the emperor’s attitude has changed too much?”
"That's why I wonder what the second elder brother said to the emperor in private, which made the emperor suddenly get rid of the doubts in his heart and confirm that Jiang Yue is that person."
"No one can easily dispel the Emperor's suspicion, not even me." The words stopped there, but it was clear enough. If even she couldn't do something, how could Hongshi succeed.
Hearing this, Guarjia also felt that something was wrong, but the holy will passed to the Division of Punishment was unmistakable, "Then why..."
"I don't know, but I believe that the emperor must have his plan. We just need to watch it quietly." This is the only thing they can do. The imperial decree is like heaven. Under the imperial decree, no one dares to say anything.
No is the word, because those who can say no have already gone to the Hall of Hell.
This is absolute authority and power, and it is what the two brothers Hongli and Hongshi risk their lives to get!
At the same time, Nala and Hongshi in Kunning Palace breathed a sigh of relief because of that decree. Jiang Yue died, and Zi Rong died too. Everything was finally over, and there was no need to spend all day long.
On tenterhooks.
Nala looked down at his hands on his knees, all ten fingers were trembling slightly, but this time it was not because of fear or fear, but because he was glad that Hongshi had escaped.
"This time, there was finally no danger." Faced with Nala's words, Hongshi stood up and said, "It's really my fault that the emperor is worrying so much. I promise that it won't happen again."
"You!" Nala walked up to him, straightened his clothes and said softly: "Huang'e Niang didn't blame you, but you must remember the lesson this time, and you may not be able to do it next time.
You will have good luck today."
"I understand!" Hongshi bowed his head in response. If he hadn't been unable to control himself when facing the Xu family, Concubine Xi and the others would have never taken advantage of her.
"Okay, now that this matter is completely over, there is no need to think about it anymore. What you have to do in the future is to deal with Hongli well and don't let him get too proud in the court. Do you understand?"
