The British prince tremblingly arrived outside the imperial study.
Seeing Eunuch Cao standing in the corridor, he stepped forward and forced a smile: "Why did your Majesty surround our British Duke's residence? Eunuch Cao, please tell me everything."
Eunuch Cao waved his hand: "Mr. Guo, you really don't know what made the Holy Father unhappy?"
The British official laughed twice.
Of course he knows.
Although the two sons did not get any news from Shuntian Mansion, the manpower left outside was still in some condition.
Eunuch Cao personally visited Shuntian Mansion.
Zhu Xiang persuaded the two brothers of the Yu family to submit the writ of petition to the Yamen.
Being involved in poisoning his wife, Shan Shen would definitely not let Zhu Cheng pass easily, and he probably already had a grasp of the prince's situation.
No matter how specific it is, the British Duke is not sure, so he can only listen to Eunuch Cao's words.
In the past, when Eunuch Cao could raise his hand to take a breath, he would seldom shirk the blame. After all, you are good to me, everyone is good, and Eunuch Cao did not want the Holy Father to lose his temper, but now...
Eunuch Cao directly threw the question back.
The British public sighed secretly.
It seems that the situation is worse than expected.
Following Eunuch Cao into the imperial palace, the British Duke was trembling, burying his head and kneeling down.
The Holy Father looked on coldly and did not cry out, just letting the British prince kneel down and criticize his own mistakes.
After waiting for half an hour, Xu Jian arrived.
When the Holy Spirit issued an edict to surround the British Duke's Mansion, he also sent people to Shuntian Mansion to summon him.
Xu Jian bowed to the Holy Lord, then looked at the British Duke on the ground, pursed his lips, and looked like he was hesitant to speak.
The Holy Sage said: "Speak directly without hesitation."
Xu Jian then said: "The British Duke looks twenty or thirty years older than he was in the morning. When he kowtowed in the imperial study room in the morning, he was not shaking like this."
Britain's little plan to show weakness was exposed in one word, but it couldn't admit it, so it could only smooth things over for itself: "Old minister is scared, scared!"
The Holy Spirit took a deep breath.
After being interrupted by Xu Jian, his anger eased a little.
I didn't question the British father immediately before, because I was afraid that my temper would get worse and I just chopped the old man off.
It's not that it can't be cut, but there are still many things that need to be dug out from the British male's mouth. Even if the British male dies, he cannot be allowed to die with those secrets. He must be clearly explained.
Chong raised his chin to Eunuch Cao, and the Holy Father signaled him to help Eunuch Cao get up.
The British public did not dare to say: "I am guilty, I have raised such a heartless son..."
After refusing like this several times, the British man realized that he couldn't force him, so he got up and sat down on the edge.
Your Majesty's offer of a seat is not necessarily a sign of mercy.
He just refused to sit down and couldn't turn things around.
To put it bluntly, once you show your attitude, it will not have much impact on the results.
Taking out the handkerchief, the British father-in-law wiped the sweat from his forehead, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said to Xu Jian: "If I had known that that unscrupulous man had so many shameful things, how could I have the shame to let him stay in Shuntian Mansion?"
I live in a wing and have good food and drinks. I should go to jail and reflect."
Xu Jian said directly: "Don't say that, all meals on the road are good wine and good food."
The British man had a lump in his throat. He knew clearly that Xu Jian was provoking him, so he couldn't get angry or sue, so he could only swallow it.
The Holy Emperor relaxed his mood and asked Xu Jian, "Tell me about the case."
"Zhu Cheng has not confessed yet, but the poison recipe on Mrs. Zhu's body has been confirmed by the imperial doctor, and the confession from the outside chamber also points to Zhu Cheng." After Xu Jian finished speaking, he asked the British father again, "What about the poisoning of the son by the country?"
Sir, do you have any doubts?"
British Justice said: "I am extremely heartbroken. As a father, I want to say that the words of the foreign minister cannot be trusted. But as a minister, I believe that Shuntian Mansion will not judge the case indiscriminately."
"I don't know how to interrogate or resolve cases. Going to Shuntian Mansion is just to follow Mr. Shan to experience the yamen affairs." Xu Jian cleared his throat, "Now that Mr. Shan is not here, I will ask whatever comes to my mind, and the Duke of Guo will also cooperate and answer whatever I have.
, it’s easy to get along.”
The British public glanced at the Holy Emperor.
Seeing that the Holy Emperor was not dissatisfied with Xu Jian's attitude of "dealing with business", he had no choice but to agree.
"How much does the Duke know about the affairs of the outer chamber?" Xu Jian said.
"I heard that there was such a person who gave birth to a son. Ah Cheng mentioned that he wanted to bring him into the house, but I refused," Yingying said, "I have never met her and don't know anything about her."
Xu Jian pretended to be curious: "Have you never seen your grandson?"
"No," the British father waved his hand, "I don't lack grandchildren, so I don't have to go to the women outside to give birth to them."
Xu Jian's heart flashed with surprise, but there was no clue on her face.
Judging from the information they have obtained now, the British Duke and the King's Chamberlain must be connected and follow the same path.
Since they are all dominated by Li Mi, would the British public really not have the slightest concern for Li Mi's son?
If the British public was kept in the dark...
Xu Jian even believed that the one who had been concealed was Zhu Cheng who couldn't figure it out.
"Since you don't know Mrs. Zhu Si's condition, why did you let your eldest daughter-in-law attack her today?" Xu Jian asked again.
The British official waved his hands repeatedly: "This is an injustice to me. I definitely didn't instruct anyone to do this. She just wanted to help others but did bad things..."
"Who should I help?" Xu Jian asked, "Mrs. Zhu Si, or Zhu Cheng?"
"That's what you're asking," the British father-in-law frowned, and his tone sounded a little anxious, "No one else in the family knows about the bad things A Cheng caused! I don't know, and neither do my other sons or my daughter-in-law."
I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jian asked again: "Do you recognize the king's servant?"
The British Duke was startled for a moment and did not answer immediately. His whole shoulders were tense, but he quickly came to his senses: "Which king's servants have so many father-in-laws named Wang, I don't know which one you are referring to.
”
He didn't answer, but his answer, with such a subtle reaction, was clearly revealed.
The Holy One looked at Xu Jian.
This guy really has some abilities.
He said he didn't know how to ask about the case, and then he feinted twice with his shot, but when he actually shot it, he shot it hard and accurately, stabbing the heart straight.
Xu Jian tried out the answer and stopped going around in circles.
"Zhu Cheng colluded with Li Mi's chamberlain Wang Gonggong. Mrs. Zhu Si discovered the situation and was brutally poisoned. In order to cooperate more closely with Zhu Cheng, Wang Gonggong sent his goddaughter to be Zhu Cheng's maid. According to her, the child was not her biological child.
, it was entrusted by the prince and his father-in-law. From the facial features, he was probably Li Mi’s son. This time, the prince and his father-in-law ordered Zhu Cheng to dig up the gold bricks in Laoshi Lane. Unexpectedly, only two boxes of banned books were dug out. The gold bricks disappeared. Li Yuanfa, who was doing the work
I want to ask Zhu Cheng for an explanation because I don’t want to die accidentally.”
Xu Jian said and cupped his hands with the emperor: "Shuntian Mansion has checked these now."
The Holy Father stared at the British Duke for a moment.
The British Duke stood up in a hurry: "It's actually related to that Li Mi? Your Majesty, I don't know about it. I don't know about it at all. That unscrupulous son Cheng'er..."
"Really?" The anger in the Holy Emperor's voice gathered again, "You're in a hurry to cut off your marriage after only finding out these things? There is no shortage of grandchildren, and there is no shortage of sons. Zhu Chang, do you think you can pass the test today if you give up just one son?
?"
Plop.
The British prince once again fell to his knees.
This time, he was shaking even harder than before.
"Everything the old minister said is true. The old minister has absolutely nothing to do with Li Mi." The British Duke did not give up. "If you are talking about the royal servant next to Li Mi, the old minister should have met him during the reign of the late emperor. p>
But he just recognized the person. If the old minister colluded with him, that is absolutely not the case!
On the contrary, the veteran wanted to ask Ah Cheng when he made friends with such a person and why he was bewitched by that person to raise Li Mi’s son. The veteran really couldn’t figure it out!
If the Holy One does not believe in me, I will die to make my will clear!"
With a bang, a tea cup smashed over and broke into pieces at the British Duke's feet.
Eunuch Cao glanced at His Majesty with fear.
In my impression, His Majesty has rarely been so angry in recent years.
The last time things were smashed, it seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was being blamed because Duke Fu was injured. At that time, there were only two fathers and sons in the royal study, and even Eunuch Cao was sent outside. He could only hear the sound of breaking porcelain inside and was frightened.
This time, the British Duke completely pissed off the Holy Spirit.
In particular, the "Poison of His Highness Prince Ding" has not yet been revealed to the British public.
"Are you threatening me?" His Majesty narrowed his eyes and looked down at the British Duke kneeling on the ground. "Want to die? Don't worry, you will die someday."
The British father took a deep breath.
He knew very well that he had to hold on.
If you persist, you may not survive, but if you take a step back at this time, you will definitely die.
Not only would he die, but the entire Zhu family would have to be buried in it.
Grasping the floor tiles with his fingers, the British Duke said word by word: "Old minister is not convinced.
The old minister believed in Shuntian Mansion, so he did not question the connection between A Cheng and the king's servant.
The veteran also knew that if A Chengruo was really involved with Li Mi, it would be a serious crime that would harm the whole family. The veteran was convicted and had nothing to say.
But the veteran also has to fight for his innocence with others. If the veteran doesn't know, he doesn't know. If he doesn't participate, he doesn't participate. It's impossible for the veteran to be loyal to Li Mi.
During the reign of the late emperor, there was no such thing when the princes were competing for the throne, and even today, there is no such thing!
I will never die carrying such false charges. I have no face to see the late emperor.
If the Holy One can trust me, I will die without regrets."
After saying that, there were three "dong-dong-dong" sounds, and the British father made bloody marks on the floor tiles.
Seeing the sage's face ashen, Xu Jian thought about it and decided to interrupt the British father's drama.
"Proving one's own innocence is not an easy task," Xu Jian said respectfully, "The Holy Father handed over the case to Shuntian Mansion. The British Lord also said that he trusted Shuntian Mansion to handle the case. If I follow Mr. Shan, I will definitely get to the bottom of it."
The Holy One pressed his swollen eyebrows and waved his hand.
The British prince was "invited" out of the imperial study.
The Holy One told Xu Jian: "Do you know the conclusion from the Taiyuan Hospital?"
Xu Jian replied: "Eunuch Cao sent someone to tell me and Master Shan. I was extremely shocked."
"As it relates to the death of King Ding, we must investigate thoroughly to comfort the Empress Dowager," the Holy Sage warned. "Zhu Chang would not let go, so I tried to find a way to get him to let go. As I said, I dug three feet under the ground to find the king's eunuch, and then he
It’s the key.”
Xu Jian responded.
After exiting the imperial study, the British prince was still standing outside, with blood oozing from his forehead and flowing down, but he didn't wipe it away.
"The Duke is not returning home?" Xu Jian asked, "or do you want to follow me to Shuntian Mansion to meet Zhu Cheng?"
"Can we go and see you?" the British gentleman replied subconsciously, and then he shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to see that unworthy man."
When father and son meet, he will definitely jump up and scold Zhu Cheng, and draw a clear line between him and Zhu Cheng both inside and outside his words.
Zhu Cheng was abandoned, can he really carry everything by himself?
The British public does not believe it.
What Zhu Cheng said in a hurry played into Xu Jian's hands!
Even though Xu Jian is young, she has been studying military science with Xu Mang since she was a child. She has a set of methods, and it is easy for him to do bad things if she is not careful.
Xu Jian helped the British Duke: "Please advise Zhu Cheng for us. This is a big mistake. Let him tell the truth about the whereabouts of the king's servant.
No matter how many times you kowtow in the Imperial Study Room, it won't be as effective as "persuading you with merit".
You took the lead in arresting the king's servant. Not to mention that the Holy One could be merciful to the whole family because of the sacrifices made by the previous generations of the Zhu family for the imperial court. At least you don't have to go to the late emperor with the infamy of running for Li Mi.
What do you think?"
The British male's eyes turned red.
The blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes, which made him cover his eyes.
He said shit!
At his age, how can he believe that pie in the sky will fall into his trap?
The nicer Xu Jian's words are and the more seductive they are, the less trustworthy they are, otherwise he will definitely lead him into a ditch.
How merciful!
If his family can cut off a few heads less, it will be very...
Wiping the veil heavily, the British public opened his sticky eyes, and the high walls of the palace in his sight were dyed with a layer of red light, looking very different from usual.
So excited...
I still can’t help but feel moved...
Even though I knew it was a ditch, I still...
"A Cheng's study..." The British duke murmured. The next moment, he came back to his senses, and his guard was reborn.
It’s incredible, I’ve really been led astray!
Xu Jian is so evil!
If I listen to him continue to confuse me, I don’t know how many gaffes he will make.
"I'll go first." After the British father finished speaking, he threw down his sleeves and strode away.
Xu Jian watched him go away and returned to Shuntian Mansion.
Shan Shen was still interrogating Zhu Cheng. When he saw Xu Jian coming back, he asked, "What did the Holy One say?"
Xu Jian glanced at Zhu Cheng.
Judging by his demeanor, Zhu Cheng couldn't bear it anymore after being pressed with questions over and over again.
"Your Majesty didn't say anything," Xu Jian looked nonchalant, "The British prince smashed his head and said that he had nothing to do with the king's servant and that it was all Zhu Cheng's fault. He also asked us to investigate carefully and we must pay him back.
An innocent one. Yes, he asked us to go to Zhu Cheng’s study to check, maybe there will be clues.”
"We really need to check the study!" Shan Shen said.
At first it was just an accidental death, and it was a British government, so they had no reason to search the study.
Now the Holy One has ordered the Royal Forest to surround the British Duke's Mansion, and they are investigating the case in Shuntian Mansion, which is justifiable.
"Let's go now." Xu Jian deliberately urged Shan Shen.
Shan Shen was flexible and reacted immediately, stood up and strode out.
Before the two of them could go out, Zhu Cheng's trembling voice came from behind: "Father, did father really say that?"
"Don't believe it?" Xu Jian paused, turned around and looked at Zhu Cheng, raising his sword eyebrows slightly, "I really wasn't the instigator this time, it really happened.
You are really unlucky too. Sharing a bed with someone else sold you out.
She is working with you with a purpose, so this move is not outrageous.
The British father-in-law is your biological father. I didn’t expect him to be so eager to cut ties with you.
Admit it, you still have three brothers. Your father is also trying to survive by cutting off his tail. You should understand him.
After all, you are not unjust.
It was you who poisoned your wife, and her dealings with the king’s servant..."
"It was him, he asked me to find that eunuch!" Suddenly, Zhu Cheng interrupted Xu Jian.
He was so excited that he was out of breath just by saying this.
His bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if they were dripping with blood.
Happy weekend, book friends.
Thanks to book friend Atlanta and Xu Bicheng’s official girlfriend for the reward.
