Chapter 48: The Old Case of the Nguyen Family II

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

"Xuan."

"Prince Xuan's visit."

On the way here, the crown prince had already guessed what the emperor had called him for, but he was not worried at all. He has paid attention to these things when the four princes investigate these things, even if Cao Kang was deceived into confessing, but it is just a word that is not enough evidence, and even if the four princes get the testimony of Ruan Xingtian's attendants, what can they do, relying on the testimony of two people who can be bought at will to punish him, the crown prince of the dynasty, the four princes are too naΓ―ve. And now these two people are afraid that they are too dead to die anymore.

The prince came in a light and dark red regular suit, "The son sees his father, and his father is Wan'an." ”

The emperor glanced at the crown prince with a smile on his face, and did not let him get up, but stared at him for a moment.

Although the emperor's reaction was a little different from what the prince thought, this did not prevent the prince from judging the matter at first, "There is still more than a month before the sixth brother should get married, and the sons have been busy arranging for him in the past few days, and they have not asked their father to say goodbye, and they also ask their father not to blame." I don't know why my father summoned his sons? ”

When the emperor heard about the wedding of the six princes, his face was slightly better, and he waved his hand to let the prince get up.

"Thank you, Father."

When the prince got up to arrange his sleeves, he glanced at the fourth prince, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up a sneer, which was fleeting.

"You handled the Ruan family's case back then, and you will tell you about the process of handling the case again." The emperor deliberately said this, he wanted to know if this case was different from what the prince said back then.

Hearing this, the prince nodded, "Yes." ”

Seeing that the crown prince was not surprised at all, the emperor frowned, but did not interrupt and motioned for him to start speaking.

"Erchen remembered that it was a left attendant of the Shaofu Prison who found the Erchen, he said that the Shaofu Supervisor Ruan Xingtian made inferior weapons to fill his own pockets with shoddy quality, and Erchen didn't take it seriously, but he brought a handful of inferior weapons made by him, and he said that the head was the way, and Erchen was on his mind, after all, weapons are the only fundamentals of the army, and it would be great if it went wrong. So Erchen sent someone to follow the man overnight to investigate, and finally found a very large number of inferior weapons in the armory, and spent a day to find all the evidence, knowing that this matter was very important, he immediately wrote to his father, and the father was also furious when he heard it, so he handed this matter to Erchen to check, and Erchen went to Ruan's mansion to get people, but Ruan Xingtian set fire to himself and burned the entire Ruan family, and the matter ended with Ruan's fraud. ”

After the crown prince finished speaking, he sighed with emotion, "Ruan Xingtian is probably also confused for a while, he has a very good reputation during his tenure, if he hadn't gone to extremes, his father wouldn't necessarily let him leave the Ruan family behind, it's a pity." ”

The fourth prince watched the prince perform coldly, bowed his head and said nothing.

The emperor looked at the prince with a glittering gaze, trying to see a half panic on his face, but he found nothing.

"Fourth, you also heard what the prince said, what do you think?" The emperor's deep voice sounded, and the atmosphere in the entire room was obviously a little depressing.

The fourth prince bowed and saluted, "Father, you might as well let the crown prince take a look at the testimony before making a decision." ”

The emperor waved his hand and asked Chen Ke to hand over the confession sent by the four princes to the crown prince, and the prince picked it up and looked at it. The more I looked at my face, the more angry I became.

"Father, this is obviously slander! Not to mention whether this confession is true or false, let's just say that Erchen has no grievances with Ruan Xingtian on weekdays, why did he deliberately frame him for such a big battle? ! Please see it! ”

Seeing the prince kneeling on the ground and singing and singing well to shout for himself, the fourth prince sneered.

"Of course this testimony is true, as for why Brother Prince framed Ruan Xingtian, only Brother Prince himself knows."

The anger in the prince's eyes became more and more obvious, he looked up at the fourth prince, his face was full of anger and sadness, "How can the fourth brother say that, the Ruan family's case has passed for so many years, I don't know why you have to open it at this time, but you can't slander me out of thin air!" What does this testimony say, how did I buy him, and I still can't even forget what his name is, how did I buy him?! Besides, have you seen me have any excessive association with this man over the years? There is nothing, just rely on two mouths to believe you casually, the fourth brother is too naΓ―ve. ”

The emperor was also a little undecided by the crown prince's argument, indeed, although these two testimonies were reasonable, but after all, they were only said by other people's mouths, and they were not any actual evidence.

"Where are those two now? Bring it on! ”

"Erchen will take those two people into the custody and protection of the Criminal Department, and the squire of the Criminal Department should be arriving with someone soon." There is actually a reason why the four princes blatantly put people in the criminal department.

The prince was still kneeling, bowing his head and not speaking, the emperor sat down and held his forehead thinking about something, and the four princes stood and bowed their heads and were silent, and for a while the hall was quiet and only the sound of everyone's breathing remained.

"Your Majesty, the squire of the Criminal Department is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Biography."

The waiter retreated, and after a while, Zhou Chuan, the waiter of the criminal department, came in a panic with sweating profusely.

"Minister Zhou Chuan see the emperor, my emperor is blessed with Jin'an."

"What are you doing in such a panic? What about the people you have brought? Get someone to bring it in. The emperor glanced at Zhou Chuan, who was a little unsteady even kneeling, and twisted his eyebrows.

But Zhou Chuan didn't get up, his head was still on the ground, and he said nervously: "The minister should die!" On the way to the palace, two prisoners were assassinated, and the ministers were not well protected, so please ask the emperor to surrender the crime! ”

"What?!" The emperor was really shocked, and the crown prince and the fourth prince didn't know if it was real or fake.

The fourth prince snorted coldly when he heard this, "This person was assassinated just as he was about to correct the prince, which is too coincidental." ”

Not to be outdone, the prince squinted at the fourth prince, "The fourth brother said something wrong, even if these two people are corrected, it is just a mouthful, what is so terrible about this prince, I am afraid that their death is only afraid that people with a heart think that their life is not as valuable as death, doesn't this just push everything on the head of this prince, and this prince is also speechless." ”

The fourth prince looked at the prince condescendingly, and said dissatisfiedly: "The prince's brother is clever and tongued, and the courtier's brother is ashamed of himself." But Brother Prince thinks that once the two of them die, you will push the thief and shout to catch the thief like this, will this matter be over? ”

The prince frowned slightly when he heard this, but he instantly regained his composure, looked at the fourth prince and said, "This prince is clear. ”

The emperor looked at their quarrels, and his mind was messed up.

"Enough! Fourth, what evidence do you have to prove that the Ruan family's case is a wrong case, otherwise these two confessions, which can't even be counted as corroborating evidence, really can't convince me. This matter is strange, but he also values evidence, although he doubts the truth of the case back then, but when there is not enough evidence, he still chooses to believe the prince. After all, it was his only eldest son.

"Back to my father, my son has evidence."
