The maid didn’t speak fluently. She was probably unconscious from being tortured. She only talked about Concubine Yuan over and over again, saying what Concubine Yuan wanted her to do.
Qin Huai quickly went to the emperor with a confession and a confession. The evidence of the crime was clearly visible. Even Si Ningchi looked sideways and raised his eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect Qin Huai to even prepare the confession.
Okay?
"Send it to all of you for viewing." Zhao Zongheng looked as usual and turned to Wang Chengxiang to circulate the confession to all of you sitting next to him.
This confession clearly states the origin of the demon monk and his relationship with Concubine Yuan.
At the same time, Zhao Yuanzhen also stood up and shared all the information he had found about the monk's origins. This man was not an eminent monk at all, but all monks must have a place to leave the temple. However, Zhao Yuanzhen
After checking the origin mentioned by Concubine De, we found that this person does not exist in the temple at all, and even the Buddhist title is fake.
After further checking this person's walking tracks, I found that this was not the first time that this person had cheated. He was once tied up and beaten for hanging around the fireworks place, and then fled all the way to the capital. Maybe he had some skills in deception.
This capital really gave him some fame, and how he met Yuan Fei was also a coincidence.
Concubine Yuan wanted to secretly hold a religious ceremony for Concubine Rong outside the palace, so she approached the monk, but she didn't want to end up using it for this matter.
"The evidence is conclusive, do you have any objections, sir?" Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and looked through the evidence in his hands, took a deep breath and threw the thing in his hand to Wang Chengxiang with a cold face.
"This..." All the ministers probably thought of today's situation. Now that the queen is fine and the main culprit is dead, there is no need for excessive interrogation. They thought they were here just to receive notifications.
But I didn't expect that the emperor would interrogate him so diligently, and the evidence of the crime was almost conclusive.
In addition, Marquis Xiwu also submitted the original story of the concubine's death to the Ministry of Punishment. The queen had already been cleared of suspicion. They seemed to have nothing to say. From this incident, it was not difficult to see the emperor's attitude. It was really a storm in the city... Qu Meiren seemed dissatisfied and was still shouting: "The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother does not have nightmare syndrome at all. It was the Concubine Xian who came up with the plan for the Queen Mother and set up this situation!"
"Your Majesty——!" Qu Meiren's eyes were full of anger. She probably knew that she would not survive, but she did not intend to let it go.
"Delay it down and execute it according to law." Zhao Zongheng's eyes looked calm, and the sitting censor was quite ready to make a move. If Zhao Zongheng wanted to execute the Queen Mother today, they would definitely stop it.
It was obvious that Zhao Zongheng didn't say much when he was not completely sure. He just lowered his eyes and said: "The concubine Xian once saved her and saved her from death. She was thrown into the cold palace and will not be able to come out for the rest of her life."
This was probably the last trace of kindness Zhao Zongheng showed in front of others.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." All the ministers stood up and shouted.
As for the others, they were almost all punished with neither light nor serious punishments. Poor Concubine De received twenty slaps and almost half her life from the beating. Fortunately, the empress was kind-hearted and opened the golden mouth to avoid the final punishment. Five or six strokes.
Winter is coming.
Si Ningchi took a sip of the warm soup and saw Shen Ting walking in. He leaned over and said in Si Ningchi's ear: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to the prison."
