When the old woman said this, Zhang Yuci's face flashed with surprise, but this expression was fleeting, and he suddenly bent over and vomited.
After vomiting for a long time, he finally lost his strength and fell down softly.
It was impossible to see Zhang Yuci's expression clearly in the darkness.
The old woman looked at the duty room not far away: "My lords, since the court has investigated the case, it is time to release Huijing. Huijing is at fault, but he is a descendant of King An and a descendant of Zhou Dynasty."
A child of the royal family should not be treated like this. He did this because he was resentful and wanted justice."
In the value room not far away.
King Cheng, King Jian and Prince Shunyang were all sitting there.
Song Chengxuan went out to review the case and left the room check to them, just because he wanted them to discuss countermeasures and how to deal with Huijing.
There is no doubt that Zhang Yuci will die, but Huijing is in trouble.
If Huijing is really the heir of King An, Zongzheng Temple will come forward to report to the court to prevent the royal bloodline from leaking out.
Prince Shunyang looked at Prince Cheng: "Your Majesty, you have to make an idea about what to do."
After saying this, Prince Shunyang looked at Prince Ning's empty seat. After Prince Ning was frightened several times, no matter how much he yelled and cursed in the study, Prince Ning refused to come out of his shell and insisted that he was ill in bed.
Tonight, he will send the dragon and tiger bone-strengthening medicine, and a bottle of fresh deer blood, and give it to Prince Ning, suffocating him to death.
"If he is the heir of Prince An, of course he cannot be killed like this," King Cheng said and sighed, "Prince An's death was too tragic back then, and now it is learned that Prince An was killed by a traitor. Prince An
It’s a good thing that this lineage can be passed down, but how can we determine Huijing’s identity?”
This is the trickiest thing.
After King Cheng finished speaking, he looked at King Jian.
King Jian looked thoughtful, as if he couldn't think of a reason.
"Prince Jian," King Cheng said, "It's now time. You can't stay out of the matter like Prince Ning. This is our Qi family's business. You all have the salary of the imperial court, so you should share the worries of the imperial court and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Everyone is like this... I, Zong Zhengqing, can't stand alone."
After Prince Cheng said this, there was still silence.
King Cheng couldn't help but speak again: "King Jian..."
King Jian then said slowly: "I think if he is of King An's bloodline, he cannot be killed. Even if Zongzheng Temple takes him back for discipline, if he is not, then he must be punished. Huijing's actions in Changzhou cannot be tolerated."
This is nonsense. If Huijing's identity could be found out, there would be no need to sit here. King Cheng suppressed his anger, and King Jian was pretending to be stupid again.
King Jian stood up and said, "This is not our solution. Even if we sit through the prison, we still can't think of a reason. Why don't we go out and go home to think about it first. If we have a countermeasure, we can discuss it together."
King Cheng looked at the bulging purse in King Jian's hand, and then at the melon seed peels on the table.
Prince Shunyang couldn't help but said: "Prince Jian has a new bird?"
"Yes," King Jian said with great joy when he mentioned this matter, "This bird comes from the sea. It doesn't eat insects or rice. It only likes to eat melon seeds."
King Cheng said: "Prince Jian is in a hurry to go back and feed the birds?"
"No hurry, no hurry," King Jian said naively, "It doesn't matter if I feed them in half an hour. We still have to put government affairs first. If I lose my title, let alone feeding them, even I, an old bird, will be punished."
starve."
After saying this, King Jian looked at King Cheng: "I have been busy with affairs recently, so Prince Cheng should also pay attention to his health and not be too tired."
King Cheng said calmly: "There was an incident at the eldest princess's house in Jiashan, the Zhang family was arrested, and there was such a big commotion outside. King Jian still had time to play with birds. If I remember correctly, when Prince An was killed, he was indifferent to political affairs.
King Jian also fell ill, which shows that King Jian is a warm-hearted person.
Even if you imitate old King Jian, you can’t do this..."
King Jian's face changed when he heard this, and King Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. This man finally felt a little ashamed, but he didn't expect King Jian to bend down and cover his stomach: "Everyone, please sit down, I want to go to the clean room.
"
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, King Jian quickly walked out of the room.
When you walk out of the duty room, there is a prison outside.
King Jian was walking through the prison, and when he passed the old woman's cell, he turned his head and took a deep look.
Under the light, the old woman's face was very clear.
King Jian walked out of the prison, immediately boarded his carriage, and told the driver: "Don't stop no matter who calls, and when you get back to the mansion, have the door closed. I don't feel well, and I can't see guests anymore."
The driver responded and immediately drove his horse forward.
Prince Jian's carriage ran extremely fast, as if he was running for his life. The eager look on Prince Jian's face, who was sitting in the carriage, no longer appeared. He looked at the sky outside the window, his expression slowly becoming complicated.
After Prince Jian's carriage had gone far away, Xu Qinghuan walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. At this time, Xu Qinghuan was wearing the clothes of a civil servant, which made it easier to move around in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Mrs. Song came to pay her respects. After everyone had a meal together, Mrs. Song returned to the Song family to rest. Xu Qinghuan changed clothes and ran out.
The Zhang family has collapsed, but Huijing's case has not yet been concluded.
As soon as King Jian left, Prince Cheng was not in the mood to stay any longer, so he turned around and left the Criminal Department. Xu Qinghuan returned to the prison cell.
Song Chengxuan and Prince Shunyang were already waiting there. After a while, Qi Defang and Xu Qing'an also walked in one after another.
Song Chengxuan looked at Prince Shunyang: "What did the servant Prince found say?"
Before punishing the Zhang family, Song Chengxuan asked Prince Shunyang to find a chamberlain in Fukang Courtyard and inquire about the conditions of the chamberlains who had been released from the palace.
Prince Shunyang said: "Now he is waiting outside the door. I will ask him to come in and talk."
Song Chengxuan nodded.
After a while, a man wearing boy's clothes was led in. From the outside, the man looked no different from an ordinary man, but when he stepped forward to salute, his movements and demeanor still made people feel a little strange.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Qi Defang, and she understood why Qi Defang felt that the fake Qiao Shu was a bit strange when she thought about it carefully. People can hide their faces, but years of habits will always be revealed unknowingly.
The king of Shunyang County said: "This is Wang Bao. He did not serve well in the palace and was sent out of the palace."
Wang Bao bowed: "I have been in Fukang Yuan for several years, and I know some of the people and things there. If I can help, it will be my blessing."
"You are no longer a chamberlain in the palace, and you don't need to be a slave," Prince Shunyang said calmly, "Tell me what you know!"
Wang Bao lowered his head and said obediently: "The servants who came out of the palace and had some money in their hands returned to the clan or went to make a living on their own. However, more people did not have money to rely on. These people are willing to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard
Tombs, after all, the imperial mausoleums are constantly being worshiped, and they don't have to worry about living there. But those who can't go to guard the tombs have to make some contributions, otherwise they can only stay in Fukang Yuan, which is often overcrowded.
The food and clothing provided are far from enough.
The dignitaries in the capital took pity on us people and would give some rice and food for us. However, even so, life in Fukang Yuan was miserable, and most of the servants stayed here just waiting to die.
Just a few years ago, I knew that someone left Fukang Yuan, and I heard that he found a job outside. One of the people who left was a fellow countryman of mine, and he also had some friendships in the palace. Not long ago, I was on the street
Saw him.
Although he was in disguise, I was so familiar with the chamberlain that I could tell his difference at a glance. I followed him secretly and found that he went to a village in the suburbs of Beijing."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Prince Shunyang. Prince Shunyang should have gone to the Zhuangzi to inquire about information and whether he had found out who the owner of the Zhuangzi was.
