No one has ever dared to say such words in front of Zhang Yuci. After the emperor ascended the throne, the Zhang family has always been in power, and everyone must be respectful in front of him. Even if the situation is not good for the Zhang family, he still has the power to argue in front of the emperor.
Besides, unlike his third brother, he has all the affairs of the Zhang family in his hands. The Queen Mother knows that something is wrong with him and will try her best to protect him.
The emperor asked Song Chengxuan to come here to investigate the case, not to kill him immediately. Song Chengxuan should know how to exercise discretion.
Zhang Yuci frowned: "How dare you, don't say that I am not at fault. Even if I am at fault, the emperor is in charge of the overall situation. How dare you, an inferior official, be so arrogant? Just for this reason alone, I will show up in front of the emperor."
Please read your copy."
When Song Chengxuan heard this, his expression did not change, and he said calmly: "Uncle Guo, it is better to atone for his own sins first, and then talk about others."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in carrying a box.
Song Chengxuan was sitting upright. The light in the room was dim, but the outline of his face was reflected more clearly, making him look a little more graceful than before.
Zhang Yuci actually felt fear.
The box was placed in front of Zhang Yuci.
Zhang Yuci couldn't help but look at the box. What was in the box? While thinking about it, she heard a voice coming from the window: "Guo...Uncle Guo...do you remember me...I am Sun Fuyang."
Zhang Yuci's heart trembled, and she looked out the window again. A familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared there. The man was dressed in Taoist robes, his eyes were averted, and there was fear on his face. When Zhang Yuci's eyes met, he immediately shrank his neck nervously.
Sun Fuyang.
Sun Fuyang is really still alive.
Song Chengxuan said: "Uncle Guo released his men. Isn't he the person the whole city is looking for?"
Zhang Yuci sneered: "There are so many deceitful Taoist priests. Who is this Sun Fuyang? How could I know?"
"His apprentice is still in the Zhang family," Song Chengxuan raised his eyes, "Didn't Uncle Guo invite him in?"
Zhang Yuci seemed to be calm, but she gritted her teeth. Sun Fuyang's apprentice was indeed under their custody. Now that man's existence has become evidence. It seems that Song Chengxuan had planned this from the beginning.
Sun Fuyang's voice trembled: "What happened back then was all the fault of my master Zhenhua. Uncle Guo had already killed my master and senior brother. I managed to escape. I have been living in fear all these years. Please show me your noble hands.
Let Xiaodao's master and apprentice go. At that time, Xiaodao only bought medicinal materials for Zhenhua Zhenhua and did nothing else.
I don’t know the secret recipe of the pills my master made, let alone what will happen if I take them.”
Zhang Yuci looked deeply at Sun Fuyang. Sun Fuyang's words meant something, as if he had brought Sun Fuyang's apprentice with him for the secret recipe of the pill.
Song Chengxuan brought up the warm cage and brought the topic to Dan Wan. Apparently he had found out the secret of Dan Wan. However, it was a pity that Dan Wan had been destroyed by him and they could no longer find any evidence.
"Besides these, what else do you know?" Song Chengxuan looked at Sun Fuyang with cold eyes, "If the pill is crushed and burned, will it still be effective?"
Sun Fuyang thought for a long time: "My master only said that it is difficult to remove the medicinal properties of the pills he refined, because the most important medicine in the pills has to be tempered by fire. Although I don't have the recipe for the pills made by my master,
But I remember these things clearly."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuci's heart sank.
Song Chengxuan stood up, walked slowly towards the box, stretched out his hand and opened the seal outside the box: "This was sealed by Zongzheng Temple when it was taken out from the Zhang family."
As soon as the seal was lifted, someone came forward to open the box, revealing the contents.
There is a warming cage in the box.
Zhang Yuci was stunned for a moment. He had previously crushed those pills into powder and thrown them into the warm cage. How could Song Chengxuan know about this?
Song Chengxuan raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuci: "What was the use of the pills refined by Zhenhua back then? Zhenhua is dead, and those pills are in Uncle Guo's hands. What did Uncle Guo do with them?"
Zhang Yuci forced himself to remain calm: "How Zhenhua died, the palace has its own records, you can check it, as for the pills refined by Zhenhua... I have never seen it, and you have no evidence for what you said.
Could it be that you want to frame me?"
"The evidence is right in front of you," Song Chengxuan looked at Nuan Long, "Sun Fuyang said that the pills refined by Zhen Hua are not afraid of fire. Fortunately, the ashes in the cage are all here... But what Uncle Guo said is right, and it is empty talk.
Find someone to try the medicine and see how it works."
After Song Chengxuan said this, Zhang Yuci couldn't help but take a step back.
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "Uncle Guo should have heard what 'self-proven innocence' means."
Zhang Yuci's whole body trembled. Song Chengxuan wanted him to taste the ashes in the warm cage for himself. How could he not know the efficacy of the pill? If you take this medicine, you will suffer from long-term illness if you take a small amount, and you will be sick if you take a large amount.
Prince Jing at that time.
The people around Song Chengxuan opened the lid of the heating cage.
Song Chengxuan said: "Serve my uncle and eat it. If it is useless, the rumor will be broken."
Seeing those people taking out the ashes and putting them in the bowl, Zhang Yuci was horrified. He suddenly looked at Song Chengxuan: "Bold Song Chengxuan, you did this intentionally to kill the emperor's relatives and you should be punished for the crime."
"When did I start killing people?" Song Chengxuan sat down again, "This warm cage was brought from the Zhang family, and the seal was not opened until now. How can the ashes in the warm cage kill people after being taken? Uncle Guo is exaggerating.
."
"Come here," Zhang Yuci shouted, "take down the rebellious officials and traitors in front of you."
As soon as Zhang Yuci finished speaking, the guards of the Zhang family in the yard all pulled out the long knives from their waists. They had been suppressed by the people from the yamen and did not dare to move rashly. When they heard the master's words, they knew that they had to risk their lives.
A token appeared in Song Chengxuan's hand.
"I have been ordered to investigate the case," Song Chengxuan's clear and clear voice spread throughout the courtyard, "My uncle is taking action now. Who is the traitor?"
The armor-clad soldiers in the yard looked at the Zhang family guards with stern eyes. They didn't even draw the weapons at their waists. They just took one step forward and already forced the Zhang family to retreat nervously.
At this moment, Zhang Yuci felt fear, Song Chengxuan would not let him go today.
"Song Chengxuan," Zhang Yuci said sternly, "think about the Song family...you know what will happen if you become an enemy of the Zhang family."
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "Serving the country, even if you die, it will be an honor. I am devoted to serving the country. I don't have to worry about what will happen."
The ashes had been mixed with water, and the soldier put the bowl into Song Chengxuan's hands.
"Uncle Guo is at ease," Song Chengxuan said, "I will do this personally, and I will bear all the consequences. If Uncle Guo is indeed wronged, I will naturally be punished."
The soldiers stepped forward and pressed down on Zhang Yuci's body. Zhang Yuci had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her fist and kick skills were still there. The soldiers were helpless for a moment, but Song Chengxuan was not anxious and stepped forward and extended his hand.
Zhang Yuci only felt that Song Chengxuan's hand on his shoulder was as heavy as a thousand pounds, making him unable to move. The two soldiers took the opportunity to hug his arms tightly. Zhang Yuci was about to struggle again when he felt a pain in his leg.
, the whole person knelt down involuntarily.
Next, his jaw was pinched, and something salty and thick was immediately poured into his mouth. He looked at Song Chengxuan in front of him with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that this young official dared to do this to him.
Zhang Yuci wanted to spit out what was in his mouth, but the cold hands of the soldier next to him covered his mouth and nose, making him unable to breathe. During the struggle, he couldn't help but swallow the gray water in his mouth.
Zhang Yuci heard a cold voice ringing in her ears.
"More than ten years ago, Uncle Guo fed such a pill to an infant girl. At that time, did Uncle Guo ever think that one day he would also taste the taste of this pill?"
