Chapter three hundred and eighty third one wrong and all lose
Mingyu said with a gloomy face: "Ji You has already told everything about you and Jin Qiu colluding to frame Wei Jingxuan, and the money was also found under his pillow. Why don't you plead guilty?"
Zhu Yong quickly denied it and said: "I'm unjust. I and Jin Qiu have never done such a thing at all, and the money was not from my hands." After him, Jin Qiu also kept shouting that he was wronged, and they were all bitten to death.
Do not admit the bribery.
Wei Jingxuan thought for a moment, then leaned over and whispered in Mingyu's ear. The latter glanced at Wei Jingxuan in surprise, and then said: "What you said makes some sense. Although three hundred taels of silver is not much, it is not a small amount either.
, if it was really done by Zhu Yong, there must be no money in his house, so it’s up to you to search for it."
Regarding Wei Jingxuan's departure, Zhu Yong was not panicked. Although three hundred taels was not a small number, he had been with Mingyu for several years and had secretly sold several gifts. The amount of silver he received was more than three hundred taels. Now he has at least
There are five hundred taels left.
After waiting for about as long as a stick of incense, Wei Jingxuan came in and said: "Master, I only found some scattered silver in Zhu Gonggong's house, but not a single silver note. It seems that these three hundred taels really came from Zhu Gong's house."
Father-in-law’s hand.”
Mingyu's eyes turned cold and he said, "Zhu Yong, what else do you have to say?"
Zhu Yong recovered from his shock and blurted out: "This is impossible. I clearly remembered that I still had five hundred taels, so I kept them in the cabinet. How could there be none?"
Hearing his words, Wei Jingxuan showed a smile, "There are still five hundred taels left... that is to say, Eunuch Zhu originally had 800 taels, but because he gave Ji You 300 taels, it became 500 taels.
"
Zhu Yong realized his gaffe and quickly covered it up: "What eight hundred taels? How could I have so much silver? I was betting dice with others before and lost more than a hundred taels, so I still have five hundred taels left.
"
Wei Jingxuan grabbed his words and said, "I wonder who Eunuch Zhu was gambling with, and he actually lost more than a hundred taels in one go?"
Zhu Yong said uncomfortably: "At that time... we all gathered together to gamble, but I can't remember who it was." After that, he said again: "Have you looked for the cabinet? The money is there."
"I've searched and found Eunuch Zhu's five hundred taels." As she said that, she took out the banknote from her sleeve and threw it in front of Zhu Yong. She said coldly: "I said I didn't have it just now because I wanted to test you. It turned out that it was true."
Tried it out.”
Zhu Yong was secretly annoyed that he had been careless just now and accidentally let it slip. Now it was too late to regret it. He could only grit his teeth and said: "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't..."
Mingyu shouted sharply: "That's enough, Zhu Yong, you and Jinqiu are so brave. You actually bribed Ji You to frame Wei Jingxuan for your own selfish purposes. Do you still think of me as your master?"
Zhu Yong and Jin Qiu looked at each other, kowtowed hard and said: "This slave deserves to die, but Wei Jingxuan has a bad heart and is definitely a disaster. This slave does this for the good of his master."
Master Ming sneered and said: "You deceived me, and you kept saying it was for my own good. Zhu Yong, you have been with me for so long, and I didn't know that you are so eloquent, that you can even speak black words into white words."
.”
Zhu Yong did not dare to raise his head after what she said. Jin Qiu whispered: "Master, this slave is really..."
Mingyu glared at her fiercely and said sternly: "Shut up, did I let you speak?"
After Jin Qiu lowered her head, she stood up, walked around the two of them, and said coldly: "Tell me, what should I do with you two?"
Zhu Yong could hear Mingyu's anger towards the two of them in his words, and did not dare to say anything more. He only begged: "This slave made a big mistake in a moment of confusion. Please remember that the slave and Jinqiu have served the master with all their heart and soul."
For my sake, please spare these two slaves once, and I promise that I will never do it again in the future."
Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "In the future...that is to say, there will be a next time?"
Zhu Yong suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head and said: "No, there is no next time. Please forgive me, Master, and forgive me, Miss Wei."
Mingyu snorted heavily and looked at Wei Jingxuan, "What do you think we should do with them?"
Wei Jingxuan knelt down and said: "I don't dare to speak nonsense. In fact, it is nothing for them to be jealous of me and want to harm me. What they really should not do is lie to the master. Moreover, Eunuch Zhu also mentioned the things he had done to serve the master all these years in order to avoid it."
The punishment shows that he has no regrets. Such a person is not suitable to stay with the master and serve him any longer."
Wei Jingxuan's words undoubtedly made Mingyu even more disgusted with Zhu Yong and he said coldly: "Come here, drag these two down from the thirty-year-old task force. After they can return to the palace, send them to Xinzheku as errands!"
"
Zhu Yong and Jin Qiu were shocked, kowtowed and begged repeatedly, but at this moment, no matter what they said, it was useless. They were dragged down by the palace guards and received thirty blows. The skin and flesh were bruised and the pain was unbearable. However,
Compared with the temporary pain, being thrown into Xinzheku is a more terrible punishment. Xinzheku... will be a life worse than death in the future, and unless you die, it is absolutely impossible to leave Xinzheku.
After dealing with the two of them, Mingyu turned his attention to Ji You, who quickly kowtowed and begged. Wei Jingxuan whispered: "Master, although Ji You did something wrong at the beginning, he still has a conscience. He has returned from his mistakes and has not helped others.
, please spare him this time."
Mingyu thought for a long time and said: "Well, since he didn't make a big mistake and you interceded on his behalf, I'll let him go this time. Remember, it won't be the same next time."
Ji You quickly kowtowed and thanked him. After he retreated, Wei Jingxuan said: "Master, you are tired after talking for so long. I will help you to rest."
"That's fine." Mingyu stroked his forehead and said coldly: "I've been traveling for the past few days and I'm already tired enough, but the two of them still caused such a thing. It's really annoying. Fortunately, Ji You
Tell the truth, otherwise I will fall into their trap."
Wei Jingxuan helped her into the inner room and said: "Now that the matter has passed, master, don't think about it anymore. The most important thing for you now is to have a good sleep so that you can have the energy to go on the road tomorrow. You said before that you can sit still
You have some backache, I will help you massage it later, it should be able to relieve some pain."
Mingyu nodded happily and said, "It would be great if the people around me were as sensible and well-behaved as you."
Wei Jingxuan smiled softly and said: "After what happened this time, I believe other palace people will take a warning and not dare to have any thoughts."
After Wei Jingxuan waited for Mingyu to fall asleep, she came to the courtyard. Zhu Yong and Jinqiu had already finished playing, but because no one sent them back to the room, they couldn't walk, so they were still lying on the ground, moaning from time to time.
Voice.
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly, leaned over and said, "Eunuch Zhu, Aunt Jinqiu, do you like the taste of these thirty pieces?"
