"Since there isn't, it must be because that person doesn't dare! These criminal evidences are useless just by forging them. They need witnesses and physical evidence. If they are fictitious, they cannot be produced. Even if they are forged, how much money will it cost? That person doesn't have it.
To be so stupid and spend so much money just for perjury, the price is too high."
The third prince thought about it, and it was right! If he wanted to recruit troops, he would need a lot of evidence. Besides, if it was false, it would be false, and it would not stand up to scrutiny and verification.
"Even without these, my father would still doubt me. It is said that there are two million taels, but where did the money go? My grandfather did not accept bribes and participated in the bandit case, so where did he get the two million taels? He must not be able to hand it over.
Yes, will he be beaten into a trap and said to be recruiting soldiers for me?"
The third prince had calmed down now and analyzed slowly.
Then I thought about it and realized that Wanfu had not found any evidence of such a crime, but there was no guarantee that his grandfather would admit it personally!
He had seen the punishments in Dali Temple before, and those who could survive the punishments were all strong and strong. His grandfather was old, and he was afraid that those people would not only torture him, but also threaten him with family members, so he was a little unsure.
If my grandfather admitted it, even if he couldn't find the troops, he wouldn't be able to explain it even if he was full of words. All the emperors hated this the most. Would my father think that he had the intention of treason?
You Guangzong and the other two looked at each other and said hesitantly: "Then it depends on whether you are willing to be ruthless or not!"
The third prince looked at You Guangzong absently, and asked dully: "How to do it?"
In fact, he knew in his heart what You Guangzong was talking about, but he still couldn't speak. He needed someone to speak for him. That was his grandfather, who taught him a lot and was very loyal, but he really couldn't do it!
"Your Highness! Don't stick to trivial matters if you want to achieve great things. Sir Wan will forgive you." You Guangzong knew that the third prince would agree. The third prince had already expected it, but it was hard for him to say it!
"Yes! Your Highness, Mr. Wan is already old and will definitely not be able to bear the punishment. It is better sooner rather than later." Other staff members also stepped forward to help. This is the best way.
"However, even if my grandfather committed suicide to help me, wouldn't it still be said that he committed suicide out of fear of crime? Although the case can only be settled in a hurry, my father is afraid that he will have to be more vigilant against me."
You Guangzong and others naturally understand this truth, they just want to get through the current hurdle first, and then slowly figure it out in the future.
Besides, the emperor is not clear in his mind? With such a large amount of money, there is no movement at all in recruiting troops and horses? This is impossible, how to arrange so many troops and horses is a problem.
"Your Highness, you are the Emperor's biological son after all. After this incident, if you behave well, the Emperor will definitely forgive you."
Although they said this, they all knew that the family ties in the emperor's family were the most indifferent. However, now that the crown prince has not yet been established, no one can see the emperor's plans. There is no chance that the third prince will be crowned the great treasure.
The third prince thought for a moment, "If I could leave a blood letter,"
The third prince was caught off guard. He was not prepared before. Now he calmed down and began to plan for the future.
You Guangzong and others only felt horrified. After all, Lord Wan was the grandfather of the third prince. They didn't expect that the third prince not only wanted Lord Wan's life, but also plotted against Lord Wan so thoroughly.
You Guangzong thought for a while. They couldn't leave the house now, and even a bird couldn't fly in. How could they deliver the news?
"We can't get out, how can we spread the news?"
When the third prince heard this, he was not anxious at all, but stood still in front of the window.
"I have my own way!"
The third prince had already made plans, and Peng Fang, the Prime Minister of the Left Temple of Dali Temple, was his man. Kuang Zhaoying paid special attention to Peng Fang, and it was not difficult to enter the heavenly prison of Dali Temple.
Wan Xuenian was tied to a wooden frame and was beaten to death. His official uniform had long been stripped off, leaving only the white lining. But at this time, the white lining was stained red with blood.
His body was covered with scars, and the bloodstains from being beaten were all over his body, even his face. The bun that he had looked at carefully combed before was already messy, covering his head and face. Wan Xuenian's head was lowered,
at every turn.
"Sir, I fainted!" Peng Fang, the chief minister of Zuosi Temple of Dali Temple, glanced at Wan Xuenian and said to Kuang Zhaoying.
Kuang Zhaoying frowned and struggled for a long time without asking anything. He didn't expect Wan Xuenian to be so stubborn.
"Go and have a look!" He was a little worried that Wan Xuenian wouldn't be able to bear the punishment, but he didn't dare to use too much punishment.
Peng Fang came to Wan Xuenian and reached out his hand. He felt a faint breath coming from him and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Wan Xuenian could not help but beat him. He was the third prince's grandfather and could not die yet. He didn't know what the third prince's plan was, and there was no news yet.
"My lord, he's still alive! I'm afraid he can't be beaten because he's too old."
Kuang Zhaoying took a deep look at Peng Fang, which made his heart skip a beat.
"Put him down, put him in a cell first, and interrogate Song Shujing."
It took an hour for Gu Chengyu to come out of the Wu Mansion. The second senior brother told him that his name was on the list and it was very high up. He only told him so much. As for the ranking, it was no longer important to Gu Chengyu.
, he just needs to know that he is at the top.
This news has already been received by Hu Maoshen. In any case, Gu Chengyu is still grateful for Brother Wu's kindness. It's not the last step yet, and they can't intervene rashly. This just tells Gu Chengyu to make plans earlier.
After returning to the mansion, he first asked about the news from Ming Yan's staff, and Ming Yan said that there was no news yet.
Gu Chengyu thought about it and thought that the eldest prince might be alert.
Guo Shi disappeared, so for the important witnesses related to the case, the eldest prince would naturally hide the person first, or even simply dispose of the person, which is also possible.
Gu Chengyu felt that something was a bit tricky now. "Send a few more people to keep an eye on it, and then send someone to the eldest prince's mansion to investigate. When you see the carriage leaving the mansion, send someone to follow it."
According to the eldest prince's temperament, he would definitely hide this person in the eldest prince's residence. Nothing would make him more at ease than keeping an eye on him on the spot.
"Young Master! Master Zhu has sent a letter, please give it to you." Gu Chengyu was prepared to wait for a few more hours. If he could not catch the staff again, he would personally visit the eldest prince's mansion.
Gu Chengyu was stunned. He was so busy that he forgot about it. Zhu Pang should have got the news. As for Zheng Lun, his father was just a civil servant and was not an official in the court, so the news he could get was limited. Even if his grandfather knew about it, he would not talk to him.
One of his grandchildren said so much. What's more, he is still a concubine.
Gu Chengyu opened Zhu Pang's letter, and what was written in it was similar to what he understood. However, it was all superficial. It was just that Zheng Lun was locked up by his father and was not allowed to have too much contact with him. Gu Chengyu also understood, that's all.
A promising son should of course stay away from a man who is about to go to jail.
