Chapter 195: Confession in the middle of the night
When Song Yanzhao walked into the house, it was already early in the morning, and most people had already gone to bed and fallen asleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was silence in the princess's mansion, because Princess Minghui was afraid of the dark, so the corridor of the princess's mansion was tortuous, and lanterns were hung all around, illuminating everywhere as if it was day.
Song Yanzhao slowly paced along the long corridor, the night breeze was cool, the surprise just now faded, and the troubles began to float.
Mu Jin's matter is indeed quite tricky, although he swore in front of Mu Jin, but in fact, he had a faint worry in his heart.
The identity of the person involved in this matter is too high, and it may be implicated in the secret affairs of the palace, he wants to investigate deeply, and Emperor Jiayou will not have a good time!
Empress Qin and Crown Prince ......
Song Yanzhao pondered in his heart, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"Yo, it takes a long time to see my daughter-in-law. As soon as he walked into his courtyard, Song Yanzhao heard Princess Minghui's joking voice.
He looked up and saw Princess Minghui holding a thick emerald brocade feather forging cloak, standing under the porch and looking at him with a smile.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Since the last time Princess Minghui teased him, he always called Mu Jin his daughter-in-law with a smile, Song Yanzhao jumped up to oppose it at first, and then gradually felt that the title of his daughter-in-law seemed to be good, at least he felt refreshed after listening to it, so he turned a blind eye to Princess Minghui's jokes from the initial discomfort to the present.
Princess Minghui followed him into the house, "I can't sleep, come out for a walk," paused, her expression added a touch of melancholy, and asked, "How is the girl Jin?"
Song Yanzhao poured a cup of tea, drank it slowly in his hand, and when she heard Princess Minghui's question, a smile appeared between her eyebrows, "Okay, that girl, it seems that no one or anything can make her uncomfortable!"
I don't know if I should say that she is simple or that she is nervous?
Princess Minghui breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." ”
Song Yanzhao held the teacup for a moment, thought for a while, and asked Princess Minghui: "Mother, do you remember what kind of person the former crown princess was? Is the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not harmonious? Or who did she have a holiday with?"
When the first crown princess was alive, he was already thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was naturally difficult for a foreign man to meet an inner wife, so Song Yanzhao had only seen her on some important occasions and was not impressed by her.
Princess Minghui frowned, thought for a while, and said: "The first princess surnamed Lu, born in the Lu family in Xingyang, is a serious lady, gentle and considerate, dignified and elegant, and has a good relationship with the concubines in the palace, I haven't heard of her having a holiday with anyone." ”
"As for the queen," Princess Minghui pursed her lips, "she has a good relationship with everyone on the surface, and she treats everyone very affectionately, and Princess Lu is her daughter-in-law, so naturally she should be treated kinder than others, and I haven't heard that they have any discord." ”
Song Yanzhao was a little disappointed, according to this, Empress Qin had no reason to target Princess Lu!
Princess Minghui leaned forward, raised her eyebrows, lowered her voice and asked hesitantly, "Are you suspicious .........of Empress Qin?"
"No," Song Yanzhao shook his head, "I just want to ask who Crown Princess Lu has a holiday with, Empress Qin is in charge of the harem, and there is most likely a conflict." ”
Princess Minghui sighed and sighed, "When Princess Lu first married into the palace, Queen Qin treated her very affectionately, and later often asked her to come over to talk, especially after Princess Lu was pregnant, she often stayed in Fengwu Palace, but the water in the palace was too deep, and many things could not be just looked at the surface. ”
"After the death of Crown Princess Lu, no one in the Xingyang Lu family has suspected anything?" Song Yanzhao threw the tea cup on the table, and did not ask any useful clues from his mother, and the dullness in his heart became even more serious.
He always felt that Princess Lu's death was not simple, and it was possible that she had some kind of connection with Empress Qin, but on the surface, he couldn't catch any evidence.
Princess Minghui thought for a while, "At that time, Princess Lu died in childbirth, and there is no doubt, Princess Lu is the granddaughter of the head of the Lu family in Xingyang, although the Lu family is a prominent family in the local area, and the children of the clan are all over the Great Zhou, but there is no high-ranking and powerful one, after the death of Princess Lu, no one from the Lu family has entered Beijing in the past two years." ”
Song Yanzhao didn't speak, his expression thoughtful.
Princess Minghui stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "Go to bed early, you can have the spirit to investigate the case!"
Song Yanzhao sent her to the gate of the courtyard, but met Song Liang.
"Third master, Shi Hu is here, saying that he has something urgent to see you. ”
Song Yanzhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, it's so late, and it's the Chinese New Year, how could Shi Hu come over?
Shi Hu was indeed in a hurry, he came in in a hurry, his lips were a little pale under the candlelight, "Third master, that guard is willing to confess." ”
Song Yanzhao stood up suddenly, "What did you say, he was willing to confess?"
After they arrested the East Palace guard who followed Zhao Yang in Tangshan a few years ago, Song Yanzhao asked Shi Hu to interrogate him, but the guard was very tight, and Shi Hu used a lot of means, but he refused to confess.
"The subordinate used the family offensive this time to let him meet his wife and children, and analyzed with him that even if he confessed, he was only an accomplice, and the crime would not lead to death. Shi Hu took the tea handed over by Song Liang, drank it all, and wiped his mouth casually, although his expression was tired, his eyes were bright.
In order to interrogate the guard, he wasted a lot of thought and used a lot of means, but he was never able to pry his teeth open.
Tonight, it was a fluke, and felt that the Chinese New Year reunion should be fragile, so the wife and children who took the guards met with him, but they didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.
"He is willing to confess, but only if he sees the third master. Shi Hu said the reason why he came to see Song Yanzhao late at night.
Song Yanzhao casually took his silver fox cloak, "Then what are you waiting for, just stand and go, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
Tying on his cloak, he strode out, explaining to Shi Hu as he walked, "I will call the brothers, the people recruited by the guards will be arrested overnight, if it is Jiangning County, I will rush to Jiangning early tomorrow morning, and tell the brothers, everyone has worked hard, after this battle, I will invite everyone to have a drink." ”
He commanded repeatedly, and when he went out of the mansion, Song Liang had already led his horse over.
"But there will be a curfew in a while, and the brothers are afraid that they won't be able to enter the workshop!" Shi Hu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
The Shen Penal Division is in Pingkangfang, but most of the brothers of the Shen Penal Division live outside the fang, and as soon as the time passes, there will be a curfew, and Shi Hu is afraid that the brothers will not be able to enter.
Song Yanzhao took out his waist card from his waist and threw it to Shi Hu, "Take my waist card and see if you dare to stop you from coming in!"
The bronzing and dark flower waist card flashed dazzlingly under the light, Shi Hu clenched the waist card, and suddenly felt a lot more confident.
"Okay, third master, I'll go and inform the brothers!"
As soon as Song Yanzhao stiffened the rope, the horse had already run more than a foot away, and his figure disappeared into the dark night in an instant, only the sound of the horse's hooves was faintly heard.
