Chapter 013: Snakes and Rats in a Pot
Chen Dagui's family is poor, and the lonely shadow turned around the house and turned over everything that could be turned over. He found a paper bag in a woman's jewelry box www.biquge.info opened it and left some unused powder inside.
At this time, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and the lone shadow turned over and hid on the beam.
I saw Chen walking in with a large bag of things, and she opened those things one by one, and they were full of rouge gouache jewelry.
Chen Shi happily held those treasures, and there was no sadness of bereavement on his face at all.
After searching for the information he wanted, Lone Shadow used his light skills to drill out of the roof, and there was no sound during the process, and Chen didn't know that anyone had come to his house.
After Lone Ying returned to the palace, he told Yang An everything he had seen.
"The subordinates also found out that the Chen family had a discordant relationship with Chen Dagui on weekdays, and the neighbors often heard the sound of them arguing and throwing things, and I heard that the Chen family had long planned to remarry."
After listening to Lone Shadow's words, Yang An had already made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't know who instructed the foolish woman Chen to kill her husband.
"Let all this evidence be given to the Criminal Department," Yang An said, "Don't let them find out that you gave it." β
"Yes." The lone shadow knelt down to receive the order.
When night came, a man in a cloak came to the door where Cheng Jingjing was, she showed the token in her hand, and the guards knocked on the door to let her in.
"Jingjing."
As soon as Wen Miao saw Cheng Jingjing, who was weak lying on the bed, she lifted her cloak and ran over with a worried face.
"Miao," Cheng Jingjing was surprised and delighted when she saw someone coming, she sat up from the bed and asked in a dumb voice: "What are you doing in the Criminal Department, is there something going on in the palace?" β
"I begged the prince to let me come over to see you," Wen Miao saw the scars all over her body, and said with tears: "It's all because I'm useless, I made you suffer in the criminal department in vain, if it weren't for the two princes, I don't know what to do." β
"I said how did they find out so quickly," Cheng Jingjing chuckled: "It turned out that you told them." Miao, if you hadn't told the prince about this matter in time today, I wouldn't have lived now. β
"What are you talking about," Wen Miao took out a medicine bottle from his waist and said, "Before I came, Prince An said that you had injuries on your body, and asked me to bring some gold sore medicine." β
"Lord An?" Cheng Jingjing was a little surprised, she didn't know that the other party would care about her little girl.
"Yes, today is the prince pleading with Shangshu of the Criminal Department," Wen Miao said while rubbing her medicine: "Fortunately, the prince saved Lord Shangshu's father in his early years, otherwise you would think you would still be able to stay in such a comfortable bed." β
After listening to her words, Cheng Jingjing fell into deep thought for a while.
After Wen Miao finished wiping the medicine on her, she said: "This criminal department Shangshu is really confused this time, he didn't find out anything, so he arrested you in prison for no reason, it's annoying to think about it." β
"It's not about Shangshu," Cheng Jingjing surged up with anger in her heart, and said angrily: "It's the waiter of the Criminal Department, Long Yu'er's second brother who ordered me to be arrested." β
"Really?" Wen Miao asked in surprise.
"I heard it with my own ears," Cheng Jingjing grabbed the quilt tightly, gritted her teeth and said: "I think this matter is inseparable from Long Yu'er, since the last Tiannanxing incident, she must have held a grudge and waited for the opportunity to take revenge on me." β
"I thought that was over...... Wen Miao said with a sigh of relief.
"If I can leave the Criminal Department safe and sound this time, I, Cheng Jingjing, will definitely not let go of Long Yu'er's woman! From now on, she will be incompatible! Ahemβ"
Cheng Jingjing coughed violently because she was too excited, and every time she coughed, her chest hurt, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would never let herself be punished so much in vain, and those who framed her must pay the price.
Early the next morning, Cheng Jingjing was taken to the court, and Chen knelt on the ground with her.
There were Shangshu Chang Pingsheng of the Criminal Department, Long Yuanchi and others sitting in the hall, but there was no one she was familiar with, which made her feel faintly uneasy.
"My lord, my husband died so miserably, you must avenge me!"
Without waiting for Chang Shangshu to speak, the Chen family, who received Shi Langzhong's eye signal, wailed loudly.
"You see what this is first, and then let's take revenge," Chang Shangshu threw a paper bag on the ground and said, "This is what I ordered someone to search in your room, and you tell the official what is inside." β
Seeing this thing, Shi Langzhong couldn't sit still for a while, he looked at Long Yuanchi with a weak heart, and found that the other party was having a black face.
At this time, Chen was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "This ...... This is...... Small anti-diarrheal medicine ......"
"Oh, really?" Chang Shangshu said to his subordinates: "Pour this antidiarrheal medicine into her mouth and let the official see if it is true." β
Seeing the officers and soldiers walking towards him, Chen was suddenly frightened and cried: "The little one deceived the adults, this is not an antidiarrheal drug, it is a poison!" Don't feed me it! β
Hearing her say this, Shi Langzhong knew that the paper couldn't hold the fire, so he hurriedly pointed at Chen and scolded: "Slut, did you poison Chen Dagui?" Come on, give her fifty slabs of the rod! β
He thought about beating Chen half to death first, and then to die without proof, but was stopped by Chang Shangshu.
"The confession has not been recorded yet, so don't be tortured yet. Chen, what is this poison used for? β
"Someone else gave it to me!" Chen was so frightened that he trembled and told me everything: "A few days ago, someone brought me a bag of poison, saying that if you put it in the expensive food, it would give me a lot of money. That Chen Dagui beat me every day when he came back from drinking, I hated it so much, so I agreed to him......"
"Who gave you the poison?"
Chang Shangshu waited to order the case, but saw Chen's eyes dodging, and he still refused to say who was behind the scenes.
Cheng Jingjing, who had never interjected, secretly looked at Long Yuanchi, only to see that the other party seemed calm on the surface, but his eyes were extremely dark. It was as if Chan had eaten her alive if he had spit out his name.
Chang Shangshu saw that Chen was reluctant to speak, so he asked people to take out the pickle. Cheng Jingjing has suffered from this thing and knows how painful it is. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chen to be unable to bear it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It was Lord Shi who gave me the poison, and he said that if I tell this matter, I will end up with Chen Dagui!" β
"My lord, you have been wronged!" Shi Langzhong crawled to his knees and said, "What this slut said is absolutely unbelievable, she is slandering me!" Chen, this official has never met you, why should I give you poison! β
"You, you, you, you dog officer, you obviously instructed me to poison!"
Seeing that Chen and Shi Langzhong were arguing with dogs, Chang Shangshu did not immediately announce the verdict, but asked Long Yuanchi on the side: "What does Lord Long think of this case?" β
Long Yuanchi has been mixed in the officialdom all the year round, and he has already distinguished the pros and cons, and said to the following without hesitation on his face: "The Chen family poisoned people and announced the death penalty." Shi Langzhong was a traitor, the crime was increased by one degree, he resigned from his official position, and he was beheaded together after the autumn. β
"Lord Long, how can you cross the river and tear down the bridge as a man!"
Shi Langzhong couldn't accept for a while that he had lost his black gauze hat and lost his life, and pointed at Long Yuanchi and complained: "It was obviously you who instructed me to do this, but now that the incident is happening, you just want to kill someone, right?" β
"This official doesn't understand what you're talking about," Long Yuanchi said without changing his face: "Come on, put them in prison together." β
Shi Langzhong still wanted to struggle, but was pulled down by the officers and soldiers. Cheng Jingjing watched the person who framed her finally go to prison, and her heart was suddenly very happy, but the real black hand was still sitting on it in a dignified manner, which made her scalp tingle.
Obviously, Shi Langzhong accused Long Yuanchi, but Chang Shangshu did not delve into it, which shows how big the power behind Long Yuanchi is.
"Now that the case is closed, someone is coming, let the suspect Cheng Jingjing go."
After receiving Chang Shangshu's instructions, the two officers and soldiers untied the rope on Cheng Jingjing's body, and finally let her return to freedom.
After thanking Chang Shangshu, Cheng Jingjing left the Criminal Department alone, and when she walked out of the gate of the Criminal Department, she saw Yang An standing in front of a carriage looking at her.
Cheng Jingjing looked around, but she didn't find the figure of the third prince, Yang Yi, and felt lost in her heart.
"Lord An, what are you doing here?"
"Drop by here and take you home."
"The slave and maid can go back to the house by themselves, and there is no need to bother the prince."
Cheng Jingjing shivered in the autumn wind after speaking, and Yang An said to her when she saw this: "Are you going to walk back with the cold wind all the way?" β
She was speechless for a while, so she had to compromise and get into the carriage.
The two were speechless along the way, and Cheng Jingjing couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, have you seen the third prince today?" β
"Third brother?" Yang An glanced at her thoughtfully and said, "I haven't seen him since yesterday, do you have something to do with him?" β
"It's okay, I just want to say thank you."
Cheng Jingjing lowered her head and grabbed her skirt tightly, her nose was a little sour. Maybe she should listen to Wen Miao's words and stay away from these amorous princes.
Yang An saw that her expression was depressed, and suddenly said: "The third brother usually does things casually, and he is even more casual with women, don't listen to him, just be a joke when he is kidding." β
Hearing this, Cheng Jingjing suddenly felt extremely annoyed, and couldn't control herself and said: "Prince An is so free to take care of other people's affairs, it's better to take care of your own princesses, and don't let them come out and bite people all day long!" β
As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, and bit her lip tightly.
Yang An didn't get angry, but looked at her quietly, his indifferent eyes were unpredictable, and the carriage fell silent for a while.
At this time, in the Yiwang Mansion, Yang Yizheng was sitting in the pavilion with a serious expression and talking to someone.
"What the gentleman said to this king, is it a joke?"
"I never joke around, and I don't dare to joke with General Long."
Looking at Zuo Zhi with a natural expression in front of him, Yang Yi asked suspiciously: "Why did General Long fall in love with me, a powerless little prince?" Isn't Prince An a better candidate? β
"If Prince An was the best candidate, he wouldn't be here," Zuo Zhi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The reason why General Long called down to talk to you in detail is because as soon as he sees Wang Ye, you know that he is a person who wants to do great things, and the general also said that Wang Ye, you have what he wants in your eyes." β
"Don't say anything about the beard," Yang Yi put the envelope on the table into his sleeve, stood up and said, "You go back and tell General Long that this king does have his own plan, but he doesn't want others to interfere." β
"Lord Wang, slow down," Zuo Zhi took out a whistle: "The prince doesn't need us now, and he may not need it in the future." If you want to find General Dragon, just blow this whistle. β
Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, then took the whistle.
