410 Confusing
"Wang Shangrong Weichen returned, Weichen really has nothing to do with this matter, Weichen is really wronged!" Zhao Chang Envoy still shook his head in denial.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid suddenly remembered that when the slave and maid used to serve Zhao Chang to sleep, they once shook out two letters from his clothes, and the slave and maid were illiterate, so they put it away at that time. Later, Zhao Chang never asked about the letter, and the slave thought it was not an important thing, so he never touched it. When the slave and maid were found yesterday, the slave suddenly remembered that the envelope was exactly the same as the envelope that the slave and maid had used when they were in the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion! The slave maid thought that the two letters might have been written by the master of Yongzhou to Zhao Chang. ”
Her words made Zhao Chang's heart completely flustered!
Zhuang Hongbo immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, do you want Weichen to send someone to fetch it and take a look." ”
"Go, go." Taste Qiang immediately granted.
Zhuang Hongbo personally took the little maid to Zhao Wang's mansion to get the letter back, and there were two little palace eunuchs with them.
The reason why Wei Qiang sent two small palace eunuchs to go together was also to cover up his tongue and prove that Zhuang Hongbo could not fake in front of his people, so as to show fairness.
Zhuang Hongbo read out the contents of the two letters in public, and the court was boiling.
Two letters, one is a waste letter written by Zhao Chang to Yongzhou Assassin History, which is stained with a few words, so it is useless, and the other is a reply letter from the Assassin History, which is clearly written, Zhao Chang sent Yongzhou Assassin Shi to blackmail him after Zhuang Hong's amnesty arrived in Yongzhou, and then wrote an excerpt to accuse him of corruption on the grounds that he asked for carriage and horse fees.
In addition, the letter also stated that the Yongzhou Thorn Shi directly allocated the funds for the construction of the water system in Mao County to other counties in Yongzhou, and then used the name of Zhuang Hongyu.
On the grounds that Zhuang Hongpardon lived in his mansion, he accepted bribes from some county officials, still in the name of Zhuang Hongpar, and the two of them made a lot of money, accumulating more than 50,000 taels.
In order to confirm the evidence of Zhuang Hong's pardon, Yongzhou Assassin Shi used his concubine Li in his house to seduce Zhuang Hongpardon, but he couldn't seduce him, he planned to use his little daughter, but he didn't say it explicitly in the letter, but just mentioned it, so that Zhao Chang could rest assured that he would definitely finish this matter.
As for the more than 50,000 taels he received through Zhuang Hong's amnesty, he handed them over to Zhao Chang Envoy as a way for him to enter Beijing.
The two letters detailed the course of the matter, which was planned by Zhao Chang and implemented by the Yongzhou Assassin History, and the evidence was ironclad.
After reading the letter, Zhuang Hongbo sighed and said, "I don't know when Zhuang Xiang offended Zhao Chang's envoy?" You want to go to such great lengths to frame him? ”
His question was exactly what everyone in the court wanted to ask, and everyone looked at him to see what he could say.
"Haha, I am planted in the hands of your Zhuang family today, I have nothing to say, what you say is what, if you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to the respect, I just ask the king not to connect with the wives and daughters of Weichen, they don't know." Zhao Chang made a laugh and confessed his guilt.
He roared angrily: "The king has always trusted you, you are so jealous and designed to frame Zhuang Xiang, you are really innocent!" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen has nothing to say, they all admit it, and I just ask the king to spare Weichen's wife and daughter, they are innocent." Zhao Chang didn't know how to kowtow to Dong Dong, and he refused to stop when his brain was broken.
Yu Qiang sighed and said, "This king will deal with it impartially and will not involve the innocent." There seemed to be something unbearable in his eyes.
Ji Longyan stepped forward and said: "Please ask the king to condemn Weichen, before Weichen listened to slander, misunderstood Zhuang Xiang, and almost made a big mistake, please forgive Zhuang Xiang." ”
When he said this, he was neither humble nor arrogant, although he said so, but there was another expression on his face, and he did not recognize it with a capital letter.
Taste Qiang said: "General Jian got up, this matter is already complicated, confusing, this king has been deceived, if it is not for the order to find out the truth, I am afraid that this king will also wronged Zhuang Xiang." Zhuang Xiang got up quickly, this king blames you, you shouldn't listen to other people's words. ”
Zhuang Hong pardoned Shi Shiran and got up and said: "The king is just to give justice to Weichen, and finding out the truth is also for Weichen's reputation, Weichen is grateful and doesn't dare to blame." ”
He nodded and smiled, he still knew the general situation.
Zhuang Hongpardon said again: "The general has worked hard and made great achievements, planning and sharing worries for the king everywhere, and punishing evil for Dadian hoe and adultery. ”
Ji Longyan arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to be, I just obey orders, and I hope that Zhuang will say goodbye to me where I am wronged." ”
"Okay, good, Zhuang Xiang is open-minded, General Fu is also obedient to orders, you two are the king's right-hand men, don't be alienated." Taste Qiang smiled.
"Yes, Weichen will do his best." Zhuang Hongyu said at the same time as the planing dragon face.
Zhuang Hongbo said: "Your Majesty, those bandits were originally the guards who escorted the Yongzhou Assassin Shi into Beijing, and only a few of them were bandits hired by Zhao Chang's envoy. ”
"I see! It's really a man who dies for money, and a bird dies for food. What are these people left for now, and kill them quickly! Taste Qiang said angrily.
"Yes."
"Zhao Wang, what else do you have to say?" Taste Qiang said loudly.
"Nothing to say, just to die." Zhao Wangxin glanced at Qiang like ashes and said.
"Someone, drag Zhao Wang down, and sentence him to waterboarding, which will be executed immediately." Taste Qiang took a deep breath and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards entered the hall and dragged Zhao Wang away, Zhao Wang's eyes fell on Zhuang Hongbo's face, and then on the face of Longyan, he still didn't understand why it was himself.
It's just that he knows that since this matter has been found on him and he doesn't admit it, then his family may be buried together.
He had to admit that just because the other party was the Zhuang clan, the most powerful clan in Dadian, he was powerless to fight back.
What he couldn't figure out was that when he interrogated Zhuang Hongyu that day, he obviously exonerated him, why did Zhuang put the crime on him in the blink of an eye, and he pushed it so cleanly?
Where did the maid's letter come from? Whose person is that maid?
He thought all the way, depressed, but before he could figure it out, he was tied up, and a stone was tied to his body, and he was thrown into the water prison, so he slowly sank to the bottom of the water, unable to break free, the water in the water prison went down his mouth and nose into the internal organs, internal organs, he struggled, to no avail, gradually he closed his eyes, and his stomach was swollen and died.
Waterboarding was not too cruel, he was just afraid, and when he died, he only had the feeling of suffocation, but fortunately it didn't last long.
In the court, Long Yan asked, "Your Majesty, what should you do with the two minions who testified?" ”
Zhuang Hongbo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave of Zhuang Mansion is an unintentional mistake, he stole Zhuang Xiang's jade pendant because the old mother in the family was seriously ill at that time, thinking that he could exchange some money for the old mother to ask for a doctor, and he would do something wrong, this is also a thought, he doesn't know the whole story, please Wang Shangnian for the sake of his filial piety." ”
