Chapter 246: Interrogating Tsujisume
Ling Yi's carriage stopped on the side of the road across the street from Luoxia Garden, and watched several palace guards escort "Tsuji Niang" out of Luoxia Garden.
After waiting for the people to leave, his anxious face retracted, and he glanced at the carriage opposite, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go back." Ling Yi commanded.
Zhi Yu lifted the curtain and asked the coachman to drive back to Ling's mansion, and after lowering the curtain, he asked Ling Yidao: "Miss, Zhang Gongzi is already on the way back, do you want to give a message to a few elders?" β
Ling Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for him to come back, let people stare at Zhang's mansion." β
"Yesβ"
But it was said that after "Tsuji Niang" was escorted into the palace, she was directly taken to see Emperor Qinglong.
This is the first time Emperor Qinglong has seen the true face of "Tsuji Niang", first shocked by the latter's beautiful face, and then remembered that the matter in Wu County may have something to do with this woman, and suddenly became angry.
"Do you know why I summoned you to the palace?" Emperor Qinglong asked.
"Tsuji Niang" was puzzled, "The villain doesn't know, please ask the emperor to make it clear." β
Emperor Qinglong asked Fuquan to take out the mine provided by Zhang Tianhao, and then asked, "Then can you recognize this thing?" β
"Tsuji Niang" turned obviously pale, her eyes flickered, and she shook her head and denied: "The villain doesn't-I don't know." β
"Presumptuous." Emperor Qinglong slapped the table and said, "This is someone who saw you hiding in the Eight Sound Kingdom, and you even said that you didn't know you?" β
"Tsuji Niang" turned pale with fright, kowtowed in panic and said, "The emperor is clear, the villain has indeed never seen this thing." The villainβ"
Fuquan said in Emperor Qinglong's ear at this time: "Your Majesty, it has been searched out of Luoxia Garden, a total of 100 catties." β
Emperor Qinglong's face was cold and said, "You are still quibbling." What is the explanation for the 100 catties of tin ore found in Luoxia Garden? If you recruit you from the truth, I can still keep you a whole corpse, and if you dare to tell half a lie, I will order someone to pull out your human skin. β
"Tsuji Niang" prostrated on the ground in panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the villain recruits everything, and the villain is just ordered to transport these tin mines from the Eight Sound Country to Luoxia Garden." The villain doesn't know anything else. β
It's really an eight-tone country? Emperor Qinglong was suspicious: "Who instructed you to do this?" β
"Tsuji Niang" said in horror: "The emperor atons for his sins, the villain-the villain doesn't dare to say, the villain's sister is still in that person's hands." If the villain said it, then my sister's life would be lost.
Your Majesty, although the villain knows that this matter is a dead end, it can be for the sake of his sister. The villain really can't help it. can only agree to this matter, in fact, they have long been conspiring to open the mine without permission, and the thirty-one lives of Luoxiayuan are also because the villain did not agree at the beginning, so they killed the killer. β
"How can there be such a thing?" Emperor Qinglong asked: "Who is it, you say, if you are really wronged." I will make the decisions for you. β
"Tsuji Niang" bit her lip and hesitated for a long time. Only then did he slowly spit out a word: "Ling." β

Zhang Zuolun worked hard all the way, shivering in the cold in the wind, and didn't dare to stop to rest for a while, so he easily returned to Zhang's mansion, and went straight to Zhang Tianhao's study before he had time to clean up.
The little servant was guarding the door, and when he saw Zhang Zuolun coming back, he happily stepped forward and saluted: "The little one has seen the young master, the young master is back, and the master and the lady are very worried." β
After Zhang Tianhao in the house heard it, before he could ask his entourage to ask, Zhang Zuolun pushed the door and entered.
"Father-" Zhang Zuolun's hair was messy and his face was stubble, not as chic as before, and he still looked a little embarrassed.
Zhang Tianhao said angrily: "Do you still know to come back? What's going on with this one? Did you get robbed or something? β
Zhang Zuolun said aggrievedly: "Father, the child left a letter explaining that there is something important, can you still go out to play as a child?" β
"What can you do? Hmph, I don't know you yet, you didn't know the lesson for a month last time, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of the door for half a step for two months, otherwise I don't care if you are my son or not, I will break one of your legs first. β
Zhang Zuolun was angry and stunned, and said loudly: "Why didn't my father blame me for not listening to my explanation, do you know where I went?" I went to Mingshan to solve your things for my father. β
"Mingshan?" Zhang Tianhao was puzzled: "What are you doing in Mingshan?" What, who are you talking to, huh? β
"It's not." Zhang Zuolun muttered, directly pulled a stool and sat down to speak: "What's going on in Mingshan, my father should know better than me, but 3,000 acres of land has produced 10,000 acres of crops, and my father is probably not more confused than me." β
Zhang Tianhao's face sank and asked, "How do you know about this?" β
Zhang Zuolun said lightly: "My father only knows that I am useless, but he doesn't tell me anything in the house, and you have never asked me to ask, how do you know if I have that ability?" My father didn't care where I got the news, but the child was able to deal with it. β
Zhang Tianhao almost jumped up from his seat in shock, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, that's-"
"I know, that's a big crime to occupy the royal mountain range, if the emperor knows, my Zhang family will be saddled with a crime of rebellion, my father is greedy for temporary interests, but let the Zhang family fall into such a big crisis, my father also said that I was messing around, I don't know who is making trouble."
"You bastard, I'm your father, and you're talking to me like that?" Zhang Tianhao was angry in his heart, he was accused by his son when he was an old man, and he was really angry in his heart.
Zhang Zuolun pouted unconvinced: "Father, I know, in your eyes, I'm just a boy who eats, drinks and has fun and doesn't do serious things, but I'm like this, it's not my father's fault, from childhood to adulthood, you deny everything I do, and you don't think it's suitable for anything, you have never let me really do it, so why blame me for being ignorant." β
Zhang Tianhao's chest rose and fell angrily, and he said angrily: "Okay, okay, you shut up, shut up-you're going to be angry with me, you get out of here, get out-"
"Look, you still don't admit it, just three or two sentences asked me to get out, but you asked me if there was anything about Mingshan? I said it was done, but you don't believe it? I know that the Gong family threatened my father because of this incident, and I don't want the Zhang family to be caught by the surnamed Gong. β
Zhang Tianhao was stunned, and said suspiciously: "You have really dealt with it?" β
Zhang Tianhao nodded, but said in his heart that he must go and thank Ling Yi in person, if she hadn't told him this method, he Zhang Fu was afraid that he would really become a puppet at the mercy of others.
"On that day, the emperor rewarded the Zhang family to the east of Mingshan, with rich water as the boundary, if I remember correctly, the seal did not clearly indicate that it was 3,000 acres, but everyone knows that the east of Mingshan to Fushui, a total of 3,000 acres of land."
Zhang Tianhao looked at the son in front of him in amazement, as if he didn't know this son, he had never seen the latter pass by like this.
Zhang Zuolun continued: "Ordinary people's understanding is this, but I learned that many of the locals in Mingshan do not know the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Mingshan, and more people even understand the east as the north.
In other words, we can take advantage of this misunderstanding and regard the east of Mingshan Mountain as the north of Mingshan, so that from the north to the water-rich area, there are more than 10,000 acres of land in total. This is not a private occupation of royal land. β
Zhang Tianhao looked at Zhang Zuolun sluggishly, and after a long time, he smiled excitedly: "Child, you have done an excellent job in this matter-" He instructed his entourage: "Quick, go and bring my court clothes, I will enter the palace immediately." (To be continued.) )
