Chapter 238: The Fate of the Scapegoat
Seeing that Su Zhifu was going to execute himself, the master roared: "Su Ren and I have followed you for many years without merit and hard work, I carry everything for you, if it weren't for me, you would have been imprisoned a long time ago, but now you will take revenge and execute me, what is this for?" ”
I saw that Su Zhifu came to the master unhurriedly and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you why, it's because you know everything that I don't dare to keep you." ”
"You are so vicious, I knew that today, I should have exposed you in the first place, and watched you die first." The master stared at Su Zhifu and cursed
After speaking, the prefect of Su ordered his subordinates: "Pull it to the backyard to execute, and bury the dead body in the woods behind the house." ”
Although several officials hated the master and hated him for relying on the face of the Su prefect and acting as a prestige outside the mansion, they were still a little shocked when they heard that the prefect was going to execute him.
Seeing that the officials didn't react, Su Zhifu said again, "Master, if you let the emperor know, we will all be affected, and quickly drag him down and execute him." ”
"Su Ren, it's clear that you fornicated with the bandits, destroyed the evidence, and let me take the blame for you, and now you want to kill people and kill people, even if I die, I won't let you go." Master said with blood-red eyes.
"Pull it down and cut it."
Governor Su ordered someone to bury the master's body in the woods behind the mansion overnight
Chen Shangshu was ordered by the emperor and brought several guards to the prefect's mansion to arrest people.
Hearing that Chen Shangshu came to the mansion, Su Zhifu knew that it was for the master's business, and he was glad that he had killed the master, otherwise he would be caught by them, and not only would he be involved in many cases.
Chen Qing was not polite, came to the guest room of the Su Governor's Mansion, sat down, and said: "Su Ren This time, we are in your mansion on the orders of the emperor to come to the mansion to arrest people. ”
"Come and catch someone. Catch whom? Su Zhifu said deliberately.
"Come to arrest your master, the emperor heard that he lost the evidence and asked me to arrest him for interrogation," Chen Shangshu looked at Su Zhifu and said unhurriedly.
"Master Shangshu, that master was already executed by me,"
"Why do you want to execute him, you use lynching, and you are not afraid of the emperor's blame if you ignore people's lives?" Chen Shangshu looked at Governor Su and reprimanded.
"Master Shangshu, although I am suspected of lynching, but the master is so good that I am my person, he destroyed the evidence behind my back, ignored me, I beat him forty boards in a fit of anger, I didn't expect him to be weak and tortured, but he died directly, and I had to bury him." Hearing Chen Qingwei lynching himself, Su Ren hurriedly explained.
When Chen Shangshu saw him say this, he didn't want to be entangled, but just said that since this is the case, "I have to be honest with the emperor." ”
Chen Shangshu and his entourage left the prefect's mansion and returned to the palace, and when they heard that the prefect of Su had beaten the master to death, the emperor stomped his feet angrily and shouted that he wanted to arrest the prefect of Su for investigation.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Chen Shangshu was busy persuading on the side: "The emperor is angry, Governor Su may just be too angry to use torture, and he shouldn't want to kill people." ”
The emperor looked at Chen Shangshu and said, "Aiqing, I think there is something wrong with this Su Ren, you pay attention to him for a few days, I suspect that he is very likely to collude with thieves." ”
"Your Majesty, why do you have such an idea?"
"You think, you went to him yesterday and asked for evidence, he said where the master was, but the master said that he lost it, it can be understood that this master helped him hide some things, so as to curry favor with him, he killed the master, it is very likely that the master knows the ins and outs of the matter. He's afraid we'll find out something. ”
Chen Shangshu looked at the emperor and said: "The emperor's analysis is very right, when the master said that he lost the evidence, I didn't see the Su prefect angry, and he also helped the master to fight sloppiness." What do you say that the master has just entered the mansion not long ago, I see that the master looks arrogant, not like he has just entered the mansion. ”
"What Chen Aiqing said makes sense, it seems that there is something wrong with this Su Governor's Mansion, otherwise send someone to keep an eye on him."
"It's the emperor, and the minister will do it." Chen Shangshu was about to leave.
Seeing that Chen Shangshu wanted to leave, the emperor suddenly spoke: "I heard that your daughter-in-law in the second room and the Su Prefect's Mansion are relatives?" ”
"Governor Su is Gao Yue's uncle." Chen Shangshu said without thinking.
"Even if it's a relative, will you offend your daughter-in-law if you go to supervise?" The emperor looked at Chen Shangshu's face and said, he wanted to see his heart through Chen Shangshu's expression.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, you will not show favoritism for your ministers, and besides, my son doesn't like Gao Yue, at that time, he married her into the mansion, and it was a bureau set up by Su Zhifu and his wife, and now my son refuses to have sex with her."
The emperor smiled when he heard this: "Interesting, it seems that this Su Governor's Mansion is not an idle person, the reason why he wants to set up a bureau for his niece to marry into Shangshu Mansion must have some ulterior motives." ”
"Wechen is also so skeptical, but so far, his fox tail has not been revealed, and Wechen is not easy to draw conclusions."
"Well, don't startle the snake first, just observe, and when you have eyebrows, it's not too late to arrest you, but you have to guard against your daughter-in-law there, don't let her know, we're investigating his uncle." The emperor explained.
"Wechen understands,"
"These days, it is estimated that the people of the Flying Eagle Sect will not commit crimes immediately, you send someone to keep an eye on Su Mansion first, as long as someone enters, immediately keep an eye on them and find out where they are."
Wechen got it. I will find a reliable person to go to Su Mansion to keep an eye on when I go back, and there are clues, so I will come to the emperor to report immediately," Chen Shangshu was instructed.
"Okay, you go down! Remember not to startle the snake, it must be in the dark, and they must not be discovered. The emperor explained again.
Chen Shangshu came out of the palace and went back to Shangshu Mansion directly, he was busy investigating the case in the past few days, and he never returned to the house, and he didn't know what was going on in the house?
As soon as Chen Shangshu returned home, he saw his own lady, greeted him and asked, "Master, has your Yulu been sent down, and if you don't send it to our Shangshu Mansion, we will run out of food." ”
For the lady, as soon as she goes home, she will ask for silver taels, Chen Shangshu is very disgusted: "It's early, you take it, and you won't bother me in the future." ”
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Chen Shangshu looked very tired, Mrs. Chen said with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just very tired, I'm going to rest for a while, don't let anyone disturb me." Chen Shangshu explained to his wife, you must know that he is tired today, he has been investigating the case for a few days, and he is about to catch the thief, but he was escaped, and the emperor has to trust himself very much, otherwise he will suspect himself.
