Chapter 713: It's too hasty
Zhou Tingyu's tone carried a kind of sarcasm, but Zhao Youde felt a sigh in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two people who don't know the goods that His Royal Highness King Chu said are really illiterate?
Zhao Youde thought that at that time, just in case, he sent five henchmen to kill all the people in the caravan, and then destroy the corpses.
As a result, five people went, and only two returned, and the two who came back said that they had hidden the goods in the carriage and would only take them out after the news had passed.
The two people that His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, plus the three boxes of stones that had not yet been opened, had a ridiculous and terrifying thought that came to mind.
Could it be that those two people lied to him, and they did not hide those goods, but sold them to the king of Chu, who was still the fifth prince at the time, so as to make up such a set of explanations to explain why there were only two of them present in more than 30 carriages at that time?
Almost the more he thought about it, the more Zhao Youde felt that this idea was right.
Zhao Youde thought of the two people who entered Beijing with them this time......
His heart trembled, and he kept praying that the Bodhisattva heard his request, and he must not let His Royal Highness the King of Chu see the two of them, otherwise once they were discovered, they would really be soaked in water and could not be washed.
Zhao Youde decided to wait for a while to leave the court, and then immediately leave the capital of the two people, and then find a place to solve it.
He couldn't take care of the two selfish traitors who sold the Zhao family's stones at a cheap price for such a little silver, and he only hoped that this matter would end as soon as possible.
He laughed with him, and said in a somewhat degraded voice: "My lord, you see that this matter is clear, that is, the people of my caravan were killed by bandits, and the corpses were destroyed, and then the bandits pretended to be good people, and met His Royal Highness the King of Chu who went out by chance, because he didn't know the goods, he sold the goods to His Royal Highness at a cheap price, which can also explain why His Royal Highness has the stone of my Zhao family in his hands."
My lord, please track down those two bandits who pretend to be good citizens, arrest them as soon as possible, and seek justice for the lives of my forty-eight fellows as soon as possible! ”
Zhao Youde said very sincerely, with a painful look, people who don't know will praise their good conduct when they see it!
It seems that Zhao Youde's remarks matched Zhou Tingyu's explanation, and also the evidence that Zhou Tingyu, who had been biting on the stone in Old Man Liao's hand, Shangshu of the Criminal Department just nodded, and did not characterize this matter for the time being, but asked Zhao Youde,
"Master Zhao, these stones and the jade that came out are the things of your Zhao family, and there are also precious emeralds, do you want to get these goods back? Or let His Highness compensate you for the corresponding difference? ”
Zhao Youde was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, my lord, since these things were brought back by His Highness and people through legitimate trading, how dare the grass people ask His Highness to give back to the grass people?"
As for the price difference, you don't need it, the loss of the grass people, go to those hateful thieves to ask for it, thank you for your kindness. ”
He can't wait for this matter to pass quickly, how can there be such a gap here to fight with His Highness and recover his losses? Besides, he wasn't stupid enough to settle money with a prince, isn't this a revenge for himself?
Zhao Youde's approach, everyone else knows why he did this, that is, he is as upright as Old Man Liao, and he didn't say a word more in this matter.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department saw that the bitter master did not pursue it, and the old man Liao who participated in the performance was dumbfounded again, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was involved was a legitimate deal, and this matter seemed to be over.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at the Imperial Doctor, saw him bowing slightly, and then glanced at Dali Siqing, and also saw him nodding quietly, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew it in his heart.
"Lord Liao, it seems that the truth of your participation in the concert has been revealed now, as long as we find those two people who sold things to the King of Chu, we will probably be able to know about the gang of bandits who really killed the good people."
At this time, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department also relaxed.
His Majesty's beloved Fifth Highness, the King of Chu who was personally crowned did not careless of human life, all this is a misunderstanding, which is really good.
Otherwise, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will really commit a crime, and he will really not be punished, if it is light, he will be said to use his power for personal gain, and if it is serious, he will probably dislike His Majesty, and he will also offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shusheren.
Old man Liao thought about it, looked at Zhou Tingyu for a moment, and then saw Shangfeng Imperial Doctor shaking his head at him slightly, and finally didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Old Man Liao had stopped, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Shu of the Criminal Department was about to continue talking, when there was a sudden sound of knocking on the door.
Everyone was stunned, the lobby here was borrowed by their three divisions, how could anyone knock on the door?
Because the person who knocked on the door was persevering, and with a kind of eagerness, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was afraid that someone from the palace would come and order him to open the door and have a look.
Soon the official returned, followed by a young man.
The young man walked straight to Zhou Tingyu's side, lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
After the young man finished speaking, Zhou Tingyu first looked at Old Man Liao, then at Zhao Youde, and then at Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
"My lord, what do you and the other two adults think about this?"
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not hesitate, and said directly: "Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding, Lord Liao doesn't know that there is also a transaction between you and others, so he will participate in you."
This matter has been ascertained, Your Highness, you are innocent, we will go to the palace to explain this matter to Your Majesty, Your Highness, please rest assured. ”
Zhao Youde was overjoyed, yes, that's it, this matter will end here, don't fight anymore, His Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter.
Zhou Tingyu stretched out his hand and intercepted the words that Shangshu of the Criminal Department was about to continue, he looked around at everyone with a smile, "My note, you haven't verified the truth or falsehood, and you don't know whether what I said is true or false, so it's too hasty to think that this matter was not done by me, right?" ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhou Tingyu, what does this mean?
To clear his grievances, he is still entangled in this matter, and he seems to want to lead everyone to be suspicious of him?
Xia Qing was in a hurry and gave his grandson a look, but only got a slightly reassuring look from his grandson.
"Being played by people who say that they are careless about people's lives, that they take away people's property, and that they don't care about the life and death of the people, so far, whether it is the slip I took out or what I said, it has not reached the point where it can completely wash away my suspicion.
I don't want someone to make a fuss about this in the future, it just so happens that my men saw two people on the street, and these two people happened to be the people who sold me the stones in the first place, and my men have already captured them, and they are outside, so why don't you let them in, and the three adults continue to judge?
Let's see if what I said is true, whether my slip is true, and whether those two people were really cheated to resell the stone to me, so I can return my innocence. ”
