Chapter 129: Side Attack
Zhao Yu's case is actually very difficult to handle, and it cannot be directly broken through from the front.
There are many things that Zhao Yu did not do personally. For example, murder and abduction, in the past two years, she has been handed over to her husband to do. And Zhao Yu has a talent for imitating her handwriting. This talent made it a lot easier for her to kill.
Since Qian Tu went to see Xuanyuan Hao, he nested in the study and read the files for several days. However, in the end, it was fruitless. There have not been many disappearances in Beijing in recent years, and most of the missing people are from rural households.
It is basically impossible for these people to have an intersection with Zhao Yu.
Therefore, Qian Tu changed the direction of the investigation.
He sent someone to investigate and track down all the ladies of the family who had dealings with Zhao Yu. Then he discovered something very strange.
Wang Shangshu, Lin Shilang and Qin Shangshu killed three ladies in Layue last year, which is strange no matter how you look at it.
How can there be such a coincidence?
However, at that time, Wang Shangshu, Lin Shilang and Qin Shangshu all insisted that the lady in their family died of illness. At that time, it was still rumored that the ladies of Wang Shangshu, Lin Shilang and Qin Shangshu had done disgraceful things...
But Qian Tu didn't think so, and in less than a month, even the ladies of the three scholar families eloped with someone! This is simply a fantasy, how many men in this world can be as personable as him?
Can't all those ladies of the scholar clan be blind!
The door of the imperial study was opened with a 'squeak', and Gonggong Yang walked in behind the old emperor. Qian Tu retracted his thoughts and saluted with everyone, "Weichen (sons, courtiers) see the emperor!" ”
The old emperor slowly looked up at everyone and said, "Flat." ”
"Emperor Xie (Father)."
The old emperor squinted slightly, leaned on the slump, and said as if unintentionally, "Let's start." ”
"Your Ministers obey." Qian Tu said. Then the case handling mode was opened.
"Second lady Zhao, the fifth prince sued you for forcibly kidnapping his wife and intending to kill her, can you plead guilty?"
Zhao Yu's heart trembled. Then he smiled and said, "My lord, isn't this nonsense? Miss Ben has no deep friendship with Princess Hao, why would she harm her? How? Did something happen to Princess Hao? ”
She had made up her mind not to admit anything. See what they can do with me!
"Then Xie Niangzi sued you for ordering someone to forcibly kidnap her, imprison her, and even attempt to kill her, can you plead guilty?"
Zhao Yu glanced at Xie Yunfang with an unpredictable expression. "Lord Qian. Didn't Mrs. Xie stay here well? When did Miss Ben hurt her? ”
"You're a liar!" Xie Yunfang said angrily, "It's clear that you ordered the man in black to kidnap me, and you also let the man in black kill Xiaoying?!" ”
"Xiaoying? Who is Xiaoying? Xie Niangzi, this is in front of the emperor, you should be cautious when you speak. Zhao Yu said, looking at Xie Yunfang's eyes with some threat.
Xie Yunfang couldn't help but tremble, and the scene when she was whipped by Zhao Yu was vivid. She suddenly exclaimed, "Don't! No! Sister Zhao Yu, please spare me! ”
Xie Yunfang squatted on the ground with her arms folded above her head. His face was full of horror.
Qian Tu leaned over and patted Xie Yunfang's shoulder, wanting to comfort her. But it didn't have any effect, Xie Yunfang still whispered in horror, "Don't!" No! ”
Zhao Yu looked at Xie Yunfang with disdain. Hmph~ Miss Ben didn't look for you, but you took the initiative to send it to the door!
"Father." At this time, Xuanyuan Hao finally spoke, "The lady of the Xie family was so excited when she saw Zhao Er's lady's love, it is better to let Xie Niangzi go back first." The process of her captivity has been described in detail, and it is useless to stay here. ”
The old emperor held back a glance at Xuanyuan Hao and said lightly, "Okay." That's right. He didn't want to watch a little girl startle in front of him.
Xuanyuan Hao ordered someone to go to the palace gate to call Ah Huan and Xie Shilang, and at this time, Ah Huan, who was guarding the palace gate, also felt a panic. When the inner room of the palace found them, Ah Huan's eyebrows were tightly twisted.
"Xie Shilang, the emperor ordered the servants to come and inform you. Let you take Mrs. Xie home. A chamberlain said respectfully.
Xie Shilang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the little girl?" ”
There was a hint of hesitation in the waiter's eyes, and finally said, "Xie Shilang, this is a specific matter." The minions don't know either. Xie Niangzi may be the first time to see the emperor, and it is possible that the little lady's family is afraid for a while. ”
The chamberlain originally wanted to comfort Xie Shilang, after all, the fifth prince gave him a lot of benefits, but after hearing this, Xie Shilang became even more uneasy, and followed the chamberlain to the imperial study with the soles of his feet.
Although Ah Huan still looked like his usual cold expression, he was already anxious in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know the way in the palace, he would have left Xie Shilang and the inner servant behind.
In front of the imperial study, two chamberlains stood guard at the door.
After seeing Xie Shilang and Ah Huan arrive, he hurriedly went in to spread the word. After a while, they led Xie Yunfang out. Xie Yunfang was still immersed in fear, and after going out to see Ah Huan, she cried as if he ran over.
"Brother Ahun~"
"Good!" Ah Huan comforted Xie Yunfang softly, "It's okay." ”
When Xie Shilang first saw Xie Yunfang's tearful appearance, he felt distressed in his heart. Seeing his daughter running towards him, he stretched out his hands as a matter of course... But now looking at Yun Fang nesting in another man's arms, she cried bitterly... He felt a pang of discomfort in his heart!
Xie Shilang withdrew his embarrassed open hand and snorted coldly, "Let's go, go home!" ”
――
Xie Yunfang was sent away in the imperial study, but the case continued.
Qian Tu got the holy will and continued to ask, "Second Lady Zhao, in this way, you don't admit your crime?" ”
Zhao Yu squinted at the money map and said, "It's not Miss Ben's doing, how can Miss Ben admit it!?" ”
Mrs. Zhao and King Cheng were happy, and Yu'er was right not to admit it. This matter can never be admitted!
"That's so." Qian Tu's eyes drooped slightly, "May I ask Zhao Erniang, what is the use of Zhao Erniang in the secret room in the Zhuangzi on the mountain behind Jingshan?!" ”
Chamber? Zhao Yu thought of the secret room that had already become a ruin, and felt a little glad in his heart, "Lord Qian, there is no secret room in Zhuangzi. ”
Seeing Zhao Yu's denial, Mrs. Zhao's heart settled down. He said sadly, "Your Majesty! The old minister is wronged! The five princes, the old minister knows that the five princesses are in trouble, and you are angry. But why do you slander the daughter of the old minister? In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how should the little girl behave in the future!? ”
The old emperor heard this. I was stunned, could it be that Hao'er really did this because of Yueqing?
Xuanyuan Hao's eyes were cold, and there was a faint sense of detachment from the world. He said coldly, "Father." If there is no conclusive evidence, how dare you find out this matter on the top of the main hall!? The secret room on the Zhuangzi of Taifu Zhao, Erchen has been there in person.
Ps: There was a worm in the previous chapter, not Qin Shilang but Qin Shangshu~ (To be continued.) )
