Although he knew the truth of the matter, Lin Chong had no way to investigate this case. He didn't say anything, just glanced at Zheng Chenggong: "General Zheng, this person is yours, what do you think we should do?"
Zheng Chenggong had an awe-inspiring look on his face: "If he could do such a thing, then I have never thought of covering him up. The state-owned legal family has family rules. You can do whatever you want. No matter how you deal with it, I have no objection."
Lin Chong nodded thoughtfully, and then turned his gaze to the unfortunate client, Cao Meng: "What about you? Is there anything else you want to say?"
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me who did it. I just happened to pass by here. He was the one who harmed me!" He pointed at Zheng Chenggong and shouted angrily: "Even if you want to arrest him, you should arrest him!"
Lin Chong glanced at a young eunuch who had been standing behind them: "General Cao said he just happened to pass by here, so tell me what happened."
The little eunuch seemed to be frightened by Cao Meng's crazy behavior: "Slave... I just walked over from here to deliver something, and saw... I saw him sneaking to the side hall. At that time, the slave was also
I didn’t think much about it, but not long after, I heard someone from the side hall shouting that something was wrong, and when I rushed over, I saw him running away in a hurry."
"Are you sure it's him you saw?" Lin Chong pointed at Cao Meng.
The little eunuch quickly raised his head and glanced at Cao Meng, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, I'm sure it's him. I saw him twice in total. It's impossible to admit his mistake!"
"Since you said you didn't kill him, you might as well explain clearly why you sneaked to the side hall for what?" Lin Chong asked Cao Meng.
Cao Meng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Chong: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong, please save me, please save me! He wants to kill me, he wants to kill me to silence me!"
"What I'm asking you now is, why did you go to the side hall? Answer my question honestly and don't say useless things." Lin Chong's attitude also cooled down.
"I, I said, I told everyone that I was following Zheng Chenggong... This morning I heard that he had a dispute with Wang Chengen, so I wanted to go over and see what was going on. But when I got there, people
He's already dead, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill him, you have to believe me."
"What a joke, General I have been staying in my room today. When did I ever have a dispute with Manager Wang? Even if you want to make a fuss, just make up a decent one." Zheng Chenggong laughed directly, as if he was disapproving of his accusation.
Not at all concerned.
"Last night, they had a dispute in the imperial garden last night. I saw it with my own eyes! He must have wanted to silence him. This time it was me. Next time it will be your turn, Your Majesty! Save me!"
Lin Chong shook his head: "I can't save you just by saying I save you. The Ming Dynasty has its own laws, and the prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people, let alone you? Now more than one witness has seen you sneaking there in the morning
Come to the side palace, not to mention that General Zheng stayed in his room well when Wang Chengen died. Many people can testify to this, so your lie is too big."
"I didn't lie, I didn't lie! It was them who harmed me, they were the ones who harmed me, you idiot who doesn't know right from wrong!" Cao Meng was probably in a state of panic, and he began to curse without distinguishing between right and wrong.
Lin Chong sighed: "Detain him and hand him over to the Criminal Department." He had a hunch that Cao Meng would not live long after he was imprisoned.
When Cao Meng was dragged away, he was still shouting: "This time it's me, next time it's you, did you hear that? You will be the next one to die! Hahahahahahaha, I'm waiting for you in hell!"
"
Mu Xi glared viciously at the place where he was pushed away, looking like she couldn't wait to give him a few blows to vent her anger.
Lin Chong asked the people surrounding him to disperse, and each went to do their own thing. Then he turned to Zheng Chenggong again: "General Zheng, are you satisfied with how I handle it?"
Zheng Chenggong smiled heartily: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is really embarrassing the villain. Cao Meng should be responsible for what he does alone. Your Majesty can clearly discern right from wrong and restore the villain's innocence. The villain
I can’t thank you enough!”
Lin Chong estimated that his gratitude was sincere. After all, he had successfully avenged his murder with a borrowed knife, and had not left any stain on himself. He was still the selfless and selfless Boss Zheng who made a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He was really a good mover.
When Lin Chong returned to the palace, the polite smile on his face finally disappeared. Instead, there was a deep chill, and there was a strong anger between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?" Yuan Qingfang was very surprised to see Lin Chong who went out fine in the morning but was so angry when he came back.
Lin Chong felt really tired. He sat down on the couch and rubbed his temples, and briefly told Yuan Qingfang everything that happened this morning and yesterday.
"Is there such a thing? That old guy Wang Chengen probably didn't expect that he would eventually die in the hands of his most trusted Majesty." Yuan Qingfang was filled with emotion.
"I have always wondered about this. Logically speaking, Wang Chengen has always been on his side, and he has never wavered on this point. So why did Zheng Chenggong kill him? Just to get rid of a thorn in his side.
It doesn’t seem worth paying such a high price, right?”
"The reason why Cao Meng was unlucky was because he didn't know how to restrain himself. He thought he had discovered Zheng Chenggong's secret and became complacent. It was only expected that he would end up like this."
Lin Chong nodded: "Yes, he was expected. But do you know what he was shouting before he was dragged down?"
"What are you shouting for?" Yuan Qingfang had a bad feeling in her heart.
Lin Chong chuckled: "He kept shouting that it would be my turn next, and said he would wait for me in hell."
Yuan Qingfang was naturally furious after hearing this: "How dare he say such a thing? I'll tear his mouth apart if I don't."
Lin Chong waved his hand: "Young man, don't be so angry. Even if you don't go find him, he won't live long. What I did today can be regarded as fulfilling Zheng Chenggong's wishes. Next, he will definitely find someone in prison."
We should directly deal with Cao Meng, so that there is no possibility of overturning this case."
"Since you guessed it, why didn't you stop him?" Yuan Qingfang was surprised. She didn't expect that Lin Chong had already seen clearly what Zheng Chenggong was going to do next.
Lin Chong shook his head: "There is no need to stop him. Why should I save that Cao Meng? This man is eating everything inside and outside. Even if you save him, it will be a hidden danger and worthless if you keep him in the future."
