Chapter 143: Spatorship
Qin Ji was not in a hurry to go home, but went to Zhao's house first.
The huge and wealthy Zhao family has already gone to the empty building, and is surrounded by Jin Wuwei's men and horses, and even a mosquito and fly don't want to fly in.
Captain Zhu, who was in charge of guarding, saw Qin Ji and bowed his hand politely, "At present, no one has been sent in to search, everything is according to Gu Shilang's orders, waiting for Qin Sheren's order." β
Qin Ji nodded, "I'm going to trouble Captain Zhu these days, so I must guard it well, and no idlers are allowed to approach the surrounding boxes and streets." Go in and search now, but pick someone you trust, and I'll send someone to help, dig deep into the ground, and make sure to find all the suspicious evidence. β
Zhu Xiaowei hugged his fists, "Yes, Qin Sheren!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the people who had been waiting for a long time entered the gate of the Zhao family in an orderly manner.
Qin Ji also followed in with his hands behind his back, standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking around.
The layout of the Zhao family is elegant and simple, and it seems that everything is very ordinary, but everything is a good object that has been passed down by predecessors for hundreds of years, and even the vase with flower arrangement in the corner is all from the court of the previous dynasty.
The Jinwuwei men came and went, carefully searching every corner of the hall.
Not long after, Hang Yang also led a team of men and horses in, "Childe, everyone has been brought according to your orders." β
Qin Ji looked at them and nodded: "When I can give it to you, there are only two days, and I must find what I want in the Zhao family within two days." "It happened so suddenly, and all Zhao Zhong didn't have time to destroy the incriminating evidence.
People like them know that exposing things will lead to death. But for certain purposes, such as to be able to blackmail or guarantee the loyalty of certain people, they must remain in the world.
Therefore, in this mansion, there must be evidence of Zhao Zhong's crimes.
So did he, but those things were buried so deep that no one knew where they were except him.
These people brought by Hang Yang have searched many people's houses, and they are all familiar with those hidden treasures and various mechanisms, and they have never missed a moment. But Zhao Zhong is a big fox. remembered the last time Zhizhi and Zhu'er came to Zhao's house. Obviously things won't be so easy to find.
But he must firmly grasp the evidence of the crime in his hands before the trial of the three divisions, not only the evidence of rebellion against King Yi, but also the history of Yu Ting.
He frowned slightly. Look at the curtain embroidered with delicate peony patterns. Leave Hangyang. Walk slowly outside.
There was not a single pedestrian in front of Zhao's house, and after waiting for a while, he saw Gu Shilang riding over with a joyful smile on his face.
The emperor didn't ask a word. He ordered the entire family of Li Wangshan to be put in prison, and the officials of Yushitai were also closely monitored, forbidden to have contact with the outside world, and the people of Shangshu Province were also included. β
Qin Ji said: "There are too many people involved. β
Gu Zhongyi nodded, "Indeed, it made people panic." β
Qin Ji thought for a moment, "It's also an opportunity." β
"Oh?" Gu Zhongyi looked at him with interest, "What kind of plan do the Qin Sheren have?"
Qin Ji said: "Each yamen will pick out one person to come out and appease and appease people's hearts......" He leaned closer to Gu Zhongyi and whispered something to him.
The more Gu Zhongyi listened, the brighter his eyes became, "Take advantage of this to buy people's hearts in one fell swoop, and see who else dares to oppose us in the future." β
Qin Ji smiled, "So, what we have to do will be easier." β
Gu Zhongyi smiled meaningfully, "Okay, I'll tell someone to do it." By the way, is Li Wangshan going to be detained with Zhao Zhong?"
"Just let them look at each other. Qin Ji said: "But don't let them say a word, and don't interrogate Li Wangshan until I come tomorrow." β
"Good. Gu Zhongyi patted Qin Ji on the shoulder, "I'll do it all." You husband and wife haven't seen each other in days, so go home. β
"Thank you, Gu Shilang. Qin Ji arched his hand, got on his horse and left.
Qin Ji returned home, changed his clothes in the study first, and then walked into the wing.
Yu Mingzhi just woke up and smiled when he saw him come back.
He sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and asked, "How are you resting?"
"Hmm. Yu Mingzhi nodded, "I just instructed Zhu'er to ask the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes at night." She paused and added, "What you love is what I love." β
Qin Ji laughed, "What we say is always so beautiful. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, then pinned the hair behind her ear and studied her face carefully.
Yu Mingzhi looked back at him equally seriously.
Qin Ji stroked her face, "I went to the government prison just now to see Zhao Zhong, and then Li Wangshan was also put in prison by the emperor. β
Yu Mingzhi's mental position was shocked, "Li Wangshan has also been arrested?!"
"Yes," Qin Ji said: "I can see that there is already a gap between Zhao Zhong and Li Wangshan, so I will stir up a few words, and let him confess to Li Wangshan to give advice, buy off the officials of Xiangzhou, and frame my father-in-law." β
Yu Mingzhi clenched her fists, "When the time comes, add Tan Tai's testimony......" Her eyes were full of brilliance, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed at all.
Qin Ji hugged her, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to see what happened to this group of people who murdered their father-in-law." β
Yu Mingzhi said: "Are they willing to confess 1510? especially those things about King Heyi?"
Qin Ji said: "Everyone will have weaknesses, as long as they are in their hands, use this as a threat, after all, people's hearts are not made of stone, they will have softness." Like me......" he stared at Yu Mingzhi, "My weakness is you, so I want to hold you in the palm of my hand and protect you well, and no one can hurt you even a point." β
Yu Mingzhi said: "I will also protect myself and not let you worry too much." β
The two hugged each other, although they couldn't do more, but it was enough to feel each other's temperature and breath like this.
After dinner, Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji rested early.
Early the next morning, they had eaten and rebelled, and came to the government in a carriage. Several officials waited at the door, helpless to guard the officials, and no matter what kind of words they spoke, they could not enter. I want to go but I am reluctant to go. When they saw the carriage of the Qin Sheren coming, they immediately shrank behind the pillar in fear and looked at it in fear.
Qin Ji didn't seem to see them, and after getting out of the carriage, he instructed the coachman to drive in through the side door, so that outsiders would not know that his wife was also there.
Yu Mingzhi saw through the gap in the curtain that Qin Ji walked into the gate of the mansion, and the group of officials were eager to get into the cracks in the ground to prevent Qin Ji from discovering their existence.
"It's better to go and talk to the people of Qin She. At the base of the wall, someone whispered.
Another person answered: "What do you say? You can't be punished by him as a fellow party of Zhao Shangshuling?"
"Let's sit upright. What are you afraid of? Otherwise, there is no royal law in this world, and what the case is like is not all Qin Sheren alone? Zhao Shangshu ordered that to be unjustly killed in prison, and we will be finished in the future!"
"If you want me to see......," an unfamiliar voice sounded again, "since things have come to this point." It's better for us to show favor to the Qin Sheren. It doesn't matter if you take your own life. But look at their stance. It will definitely affect the family, you think, your son just turned one year old this month. Your son has married his daughter-in-law this year, and you are going to wait to hold your grandson, and you will see your family suffer in prison and be exiled to a wild land in the future?"
"This ......"
"I don't care about you, the most important thing is to save your life first. In this world, what's the use of being famous and backbone? Can you keep your whole family safe and sound? Don't dream! I'm gone, you can stay here and die!"
"Actually, what he said makes sense, I don't want to die before I can hold my grandson......"
Yu Mingzhi lowered his eyes, it seemed that it was not only a matter in the prison, but among the remaining officials, Qin Ji still had some movements.
The carriage entered the government through a side door and stopped at a gate. At this time, Qin Ji was standing in front of the courtyard gate, helping Yu Mingzhi get out of the car with her own hands, and she whispered to Qin Ji what she had just heard.
Qin Ji said with a smile: "I ordered it yesterday, Zhao Zhong's henchmen are in turmoil at this time, and more secrets will be exposed." β
"Great. "It must also include his father's affairs, and he can finally clear his grievances. Yu Mingzhi took a deep breath, full of anticipation.
"Come, let's go and see if Zhao Zhong will tell the truth after a night of deep consideration. He thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, I killed Zhao Guanzhou. β
"Zhao Guanzhou?" Yu Mingzhi's impression of him was only that he was a golden jade outsider, and he was a disciple in it.
"Yes, Zhao Zhong's only sister-in-law, it was only after his death that he pried open his mouth and said something. Qin Ji said: "This is his weakness, and the other is his mother." β
As they spoke, they came to the entrance of the prison, where Gu Zhongyi and Jing Zhaoyin were chatting, and when they saw them coming, they greeted them with a smile.
Yu Mingzhi saluted them.
Gu Zhongyi waved his hand, looked at Mrs. Qin's spirited appearance, and said with a smile: "I am also relieved to see that your husband and wife are as loving as in the past." β
Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji looked at each other and smiled.
However, Qin Ji looked at Yu Mingzhi with a bit of deep meaning, and saw that her expression was relaxed, and he was a little surprised.
She didn't hold back her fears and worries as she had when she first came to prison.
"I'm not afraid," Yu Mingzhi said softly, looking at the swarthy prison door with a discerning gaze, "because this time, there is hope for my father's affairs." β
"Okay, let's go. Qin Ji grabbed her hand and entered the prison with Gu Zhongyi and Jing Zhaoyin.
Gu Zhongyi said: "Have you seen all the people at the door? Yesterday they wanted to persuade the emperor, but the emperor was annoyed by them and wanted to reward the board, so he dispersed." No, I ran to the yamen of the mansion to see Zhao Zhong, or to persuade you and me. Hehe," he sneered, "and I don't want to think about how long we've been waiting for this opportunity." β
Qin Ji said: "If you see it, don't pay attention to it, they will all think about their future in the end." β
Gu Zhongyi said "um", and then walked into a door first.
After all, the water prison is dark and foul-smelling, and it is not suitable for the big people to stay for a long time, so it is temporarily moved to the cell above, and the bright sunlight shines in through the small window, which makes the cell even more secluded and terrifying.
Zhao Zhong was dropped in the middle of the cell, and his mother was also heavily bound and kneeling at his feet.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhao Zhong slowly raised his head, his gaze skimmed over Jing Zhaoyin, Gu Zhongyi, and then to Qin Ji, and then noticed the woman beside him.
This was the first time he had seen the appearance of the eldest lady of the Guo family, and this woman who always hid her face behind the white veil showed her face in front of him this time.
He narrowed, looked closely, and then was stunned.
It was precisely because of his age that he looked at things a little, which made this woman's appearance remind him of another, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Qin Ji is telling the truth!
Yu Yanshen died, but the Yu family was still alive and returned to the capital to take revenge.
The so-called eldest lady of the Guo family, Qin Ji's wife, is Yu Yanshen's daughter! The eyebrows and eyes are three or four points similar to Yu Yanshen, and the most similar is the nose, which is as tall and straight.
"Qin Ji, it's quite big that you can endure it, and the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars is good. He sighed: "I wonder if the emperor recognizes that your wife is somewhat similar to the criminal minister Yu Yanshen?"
Qin Ji said: "The emperor is in the prime of life, not as dizzy as you are." β
Zhao Zhong laughed in a low voice, "Yu Yanshen's family is alive if he lives, anyway, Yu Yanshen is dead, his body was ruined before his death, and he is even more infamous after his death." β
Qin Ji grabbed Yu Mingzhi's hand, but found that she was very calm.
But soon, the truth will come out. Yu Mingzhi smiled at Zhao Zhong's face that was split open by blood, and said, "I didn't expect Zhao Zhong to be so naΓ―ve, he would only say something angry about himself." She looked at Mrs. Zhao on the ground, thinking that when the whole family was locked in prison, the treatment was even worse than that, even the clothes were dirty and torn, the chains wore out the skin, she ate moldy steamed buns, drank the sewage on the ground, and was tortured and intimidated every day, and spent all day in fear and sadness, "Zhao Shangshuling, you are very worried about the safety of your family, right?"
Her voice was soft, but it went straight to the heart, making the panic that had been suppressed boil again.
Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth, this girl is not a good thing like Yu Yanshen and Qin Ji!
Zhao Zhong scolded: "You, the daughter of a criminal minister, how can you have the face to speak in front of me!"
Yu Mingzhi said: "Aren't you also a prisoner now?"
Thinking of the change in identity overnight, Zhao Zhong felt a cramping pain in his chest, "You two are ...... Despicable villain. β
Yu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, "That's why we're more compatible." β
Qin Ji breathed a sigh of relief, first helped Yu Mingzhi to sit on a clean chair, and then looked at Zhao Zhong, "How is it, Zhao Shangshuling?
Zhao Zhongdao: "Why don't you go and ask Li Wangshan?"
Qin Ji said: "Zhao Shangshuling, why can't you seize the opportunity to atone for your sins?"
Zhao Zhong squinted, "What do you mean?"
"Liwangshan has put all the blame on you. Qin Ji said.
His face was calm, as if what he said had really happened.
Zhao Zhong snorted coldly, "You won't believe you. β
Qin Ji said: "Okay, I'll give this opportunity to Li Wangshan." As for your Zhao family, your mother, wife, and daughter, just say goodbye on the execution ground. With that, he picked up Yu Mingzhi and a few people walked out.
Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment when he saw that they were really leaving, and then shouted: "Come back!" (To be continued.) )
