Trees grow everywhere, branches are staggered, thorns and grass are everywhere, and barren graves are everywhere. This is the most desolate place in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Jin was panting and walking on the path with sloping trees. There were guards in front of him to clear the way for him, but it was still difficult to walk. It was so late at noon, staying in these woods, surrounded by graves, it still made people feel dense.
.It felt chilly on the back of my spine.
The wild rats and rabbits running away from time to time, their scurrying sounds, and the squawking sounds of the pheasants that were frightened and screamed can scare people out of their souls and frighten their courage.
This was a place where Liu Jin often came, because there was a hut beside the Jishui Pond in the forest. It was built when he was a chamberlain around the prince. He, Gu Da, Zhang Yong, Gaofeng and others often came here to get together.
I was very courageous at that time. They were all a group of people who had no ambitions and no roots. They were not afraid of lonely ghosts or anything like that. They said that female ghosts suck people's energy, but I, a bunch of rootless people, were not afraid of ghosts.
They don't even have energy. Their lives are no better than those of ghosts.
However, since Liu Jin gained power and owned the big house in the bustling neighborhood of the inner city, he has never been to this hut again. He was already a powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty. At the height of his success, he never came back.
There is no need to go to this secluded hut to vent your emotions and plot and discuss some shameful things.
Finally, all the branches of the trees in front were cleared. The guards in front came back and asked Liu Jin, who was sitting on the stone to rest, to stand up. Liu Jin walked forward with one foot deep and one shallow, enduring the pain in his butt. Soon after, the vision suddenly opened up.
A wild lake with tangled water plants and patches of reeds appeared in front of me.
That is a lake called Jishuitan.
On the north bank of Jishuitan, a path covered with grass leads to the thatched cottage. It has been a long time since I visited, and the thatched cottage has become a home for rats, rabbits and small animals in the forest, and it has become a mess. Due to the erosion of heavy snow and rain, the walls of the house seem to have collapsed.
Several places.
There is a horse tied under the tree outside the door.
Sitting in the yard was a tall, dark-skinned, heavily armed man.
Liu Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The man stood up, laughed and saluted: "Eunuch Liu is indeed here. I was worried that you didn't believe it and refused to come. I'm Chen Shiyi, I have met Eunuch Liu."
Of course Liu Jin knew Chen Shiyi, who was Zhang Yanling's arm. The fact that this person appeared here showed that his guess was correct. This matter was probably Zhang Yanling's fault.
"Where is Zhang Yanling? Why are you hiding? He came out to meet people. Our family is here, what is he hiding for?" Liu Jin didn't even pay attention to Chen Shiyi, turning his head and looking around and shouting.
"Eunuch Liu, are you looking for the Protector? He's not here. I'm looking for you, why are you looking for him?" Chen Shiyi said with a smile.
"What? He didn't come? What should I talk to you about? If you want to talk about something, it's him who comes." Liu Jin said proudly with her hands behind her back and her chest raised.
Chen Shiyi smiled and said: "This is my business and has nothing to do with the Protector. Are you talking to him? What are you talking about?"
Liu Jin looked at Chen Shi in surprise and said, "What do you mean? Isn't this Zhang Yanling's arrangement? Did you borrow my father's hand to deliver the message and invite me here? How come Zhang Yanling doesn't know about this?"
Chen Shi chuckled and said, "Eunuch Liu has misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with Duke Protector. It's all my fault. Hey, he accidentally got some evidence. That evidence is very unfavorable to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu, if
If I hand over that evidence to the court or tell the Protector, the consequences will be disastrous. I'm afraid that Eunuch Liu's head will have to be moved. Not only Eunuch Liu, but also the heads of many people will have to be moved."
Liu Jin frowned and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you know?"
Chen Shiyi whispered: "I know the secret of the death of the late emperor. I know that my father-in-law went to the dispensing room of Taiyuan Hospital that day. I know that the medicine prepared by Xu Hao and Gao Tinghe was correct, but someone added more aconite.
The amount of medicine caused the late emperor to be poisoned and died without treatment. Eunuch Liu, do I know enough to kill the nine tribes? Hehehehe."
Liu Jinji was dripping with cold sweat. What Chen Shiyi said was absolutely correct. He didn't know how many times he thought about this matter in his mind. When he thought about it at night, even after so long, he was still scared to death.
This matter was an absolute secret, but he didn't expect that Chen Shiyi would actually reveal it all. This didn't shock him.
The worries I had when I arrived have become reality.
"People outside should stay away. Our family has important matters to discuss with others. No one is allowed to eavesdrop." Liu Jin reacted quickly and shouted loudly.
The guards and eunuchs who followed from outside hurriedly agreed to stay away.
Liu Jin turned around, stared at Chen Shiyi fiercely, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Chen Shiyi, you are so brave, do you know what you are doing? You will cost the lives of your whole family. I understand.
What?"
Chen Shiyi sneered and said: "Eunuch Liu, don't try to scare me. I thought about everything before I came here, so naturally I'm not afraid, and you can't scare me. But you, Eunuch Liu, should be more careful. I know these things, so I can't scare you."
It's easy to handle. If others find out, your Eunuch Liu's head will be moved."
Liu Jin said coldly: "Who would believe these words of yours? You are making false accusations, and you are the one who will die."
Chen Shiyi chuckled and said: "Eunuch Liu, there is no need to trick me. Don't you just want evidence? I tell you, Liu Wentai and Fang Shuhe have been caught by me. When you entered the Tai Hospital that day, you squatted under the wall to dry yourself.
I also arrested two handymen from Taiyang Hospital from Gansu. Liu Wentai and Fang Shuhe hid in the Zhongnan Mountains, and I found them too. Hehe, those are all witnesses."
Liu Jin said in a ferocious voice: "What kind of witness is that? It proves that our family has been to Tai Hospital? Is that considered evidence? Liu Wentai and Uncle Fang were not involved in dispensing medicine at all, so what do they know?"
Chen Shiyi chuckled and said: "Eunuch Liu, Xu Hao, Gao Ting and the two scapegoats died in prison. Do you think everything will be fine? You may not know that these two people knew they would die, so they wrote in their underwear
They wrote blood letters. Your Eunuch Liu ordered people to strangle them that night, but didn’t you find the blood letters written by them? Who collected his body? "
"Their family members!" Liu Jin said in shock.
"Yes, isn't it them? Their family saw the blood book, and the blood book is naturally in my hand. Hehe. Then Xu Hao and Gao Tinghe wrote on the blood book that you went to the dispensing room that day. Eunuch Liu,
Do you want me to repeat it to you?" Chen Shiyi sneered.
Liu Jin frowned and didn't answer.
Chen Shi said: "That day, you said that the prince wanted to use ginseng, so you went to get it. But it is not you who usually takes it, but the young eunuch in the East Palace. Besides, I found the booklet in the East Palace for getting the tonic. That day the prince
There are still four boxes of ginseng available in the palace, what kind of ginseng are you going to get? Huh? Eunuch Liu, how do you explain it?"
Liu Jin had sweat on his forehead and stared at Chen Shiyi fiercely.
Chen Shiyi ignored him at all and continued: "When you were preparing the medicine, you deliberately knocked over the medicine drawer and spread it all over the floor. When Xu Hao and Gao Tinghe were packing up the medicine, you put some of it in the weighed medicine.
Aconite film, right? In fact, when you were playing it, Gao Tinghe caught your action from the corner of his eye, but he didn't pay attention at the time. It wasn't until the incident happened and the emperor died that he realized that you were drugging him.
.”
"Eunuch Liu, in order to deny that you had taken medicine from Tai Hospital, you deliberately did not sign the booklet for receiving the medicine. It is not that Gao Ting and Xu Hao did not mention this matter, but it was considered to be a random and false accusation at the time. The booklet also
Not for your use
Record the signature, so no one will doubt you at all. They will only think that the two unjust ghosts are trying to find you as a scapegoat. In fact, what they said is true, but no one believes it. The two of them will all
Everything is written
The blood letter was worn in their underwear. In the blood letter, the two of them thought that they would definitely die. Before they died, they had to explain this matter clearly as evidence. When his family was collecting the body, they saw the blood letter, but they did not dare to say anything. I know.
This matter is extremely
Seriously. They were scared out of their wits at that time. Some people said that they were going to be executed. If they could escape with their lives, it would be good. How dare they speak out? But the blood letter was taken out of the capital. In the end, I got it. Haha
." Chen Shi said.
Liu Jin's mind was buzzing. At first, she had some doubts that Chen Shiyi was testing him. What he said were all guesses and coincidences. But now, Chen Shiyi said it as if he was there that day. Why not?
It scares him.
Gao Ting and Xu Hao actually wrote blood letters on their bodies before they died. No one believed what they said during their lifetimes, but the blood letters they left behind recorded what happened. They were proven to lie again, and did not get the ginseng for the lack of ginseng in the crown prince's womb.
Instead, he went to Tai Hospital specifically. There was also a handyman to prove it.
Liu Wentai and Fang Shuhe were taken away by Chen Shiyi again, as well as the items in the prince's womb.
Taken together, the evidence is absolutely conclusive, and there is absolutely no way he can escape his involvement.
Thinking about this, Liu Jin almost collapsed to the ground. She stretched out her hand to hold on to a tree and managed to hold on.
"Chen Shiyi, you are really good at telling nonsense. Do you think you can deceive our family with this? What kind of blood letter? What kind of account books? That's nonsense. If there is any, you should show it to our family." Liu Jin sneered.
Chen Shiyi chuckled and said: "Eunuch Liu, do you think I am a three-year-old child? You want to trick me into producing evidence, and then your people will kill me and seize the evidence in this deserted forest and lake, right?"
I'm not that stupid, in this situation
And bring evidence. Let me tell you, as long as I don't go home after dark today, the evidence will be immediately sent to the Protector's Mansion and handed over to Mr. Zhang. By then, you know what the consequences will be. I'm afraid it's you.
Eunuch Liu will not be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Liu Jin saw through his intention, coughed and said: "You are suspicious, our family just doesn't believe it. Tell me, what do you want? Does Zhang Yanling really not know about this?"
Chen Shi smiled and said: "How could I let go of this opportunity to make a fortune? If I told the Protector, could I still make a fortune? The Protector didn't know about it at all. During this time, he went to fight, and I pretended
I stayed in the capital due to illness and secretly went to do this just for today. Eunuch Liu, to be honest, I, Chen Shiyi, am a small person and I don’t want to
It's a big deal. I don't care who lives or dies. What I care about is whether I can get money and fly away. Eunuch Liu, as long as you give a suitable price, I will give you all these personal and material evidences and let you destroy them all.
I took the money, took my wife and children away, and lived a happy life incognito. What do you think?"
