Chapter 371: Prison Disaster
"I know." Jin Yuan looked at Liu Hongren and said, "The emperor has already said in the early dynasty, and there is no need for Lord Liu to remind him at this moment. ”
"Where did Master Liu just ask?" Seeing Liu Hongren's ugly face, Jin Yuan spoke again and asked.
"Lord Liu asked me if I knew about the prince's side concubine's visit to Liuliju last night." Ning Zhao glanced at Liu Hongren and said kindly for him: "I had dinner with my lord in the house last night, how can I know about the matter of Liuliju, so I will naturally tell the truth." ”
Jin Yuan nodded, turned to Liu Hongren, and said with a smile: "This official and his wife have indeed never left the mansion, I wonder if Lord Liu has anything else to ask?" If not, the official will not send it, Lord Liu, please. ”
Liu Hongren endured it for a long time, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately snorted coldly, and said loudly: "Even if Lord Jin and his wife have never been to Liuliju, they have already experienced corpses, and there are also testimonies from the imperial doctors who have seen several nobles, these four people are all vomiting and diarrhea caused by mistakenly ingesting the same kind of medicine that can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. ”
"And the four of them all went to Liuliju for a banquet that night, and something happened when they returned home, whether this matter is related to Mrs. or not, Liuliju can't get out of it, Mrs. is the boss of Liuliju, so naturally it can't get out of it."
"Madame!" Liu Hongren waved his hand, sideways out of the way, made a gesture of please, and said loudly: "This time Mrs. must go, please!" ”
Jin Yuan's face sank instantly, and he opened his mouth to predict, but Liu Hongren learned wisely this time, and took the lead in opening his mouth, saying: "The emperor has an order, and this official is fully responsible for investigating this matter, no matter who wants to stop it, it will be dealt with by obstructing law enforcement!" ”
"Lord Jin, don't you want to defy the law? Or is it a disobedience? Liu Hongren directly blocked all Jin Yuan's words, and deliberately took out the old emperor as an arrow, as long as Jin Yuan dared to say a word, then he had the right to dispose of Jin Yuan according to law.
Although Jin Yuan is a second-class member of the imperial court, the old emperor also said that no matter who it is, even if Jin Yuan makes trouble with the old emperor, Liu Hongren is not afraid of half a point.
"Lord Liu is so majestic." Jin Yuan narrowed his eyes, took Ning Zhao's hand a little tighter, and said, "Lord Liu is suspicious of Madame, and this official is naturally difficult to get out of the relationship, and he will definitely follow him today." ”
Liu Hongren took a step forward and didn't let him go, "My lord is so compassionate, this official will take it." ”
"-Lord Jin, Mrs.!" Liu Hongren made another gesture of please, and said in a deep voice: "Please!" ”
Ning Zhao didn't expect Jin Yuan to accompany him, he frowned and looked at Jin Yuan, wanting to stop her, but Jin Yuan shook his head at her slightly, and the hand he was holding had no intention of letting go.
"Let's go." Jin Yuan looked at Ning Zhao, then took a step forward, and the two of them went down the steps, and with the group, they left Shangshu Mansion.
——
"The crown princess did come last night."
Liu Ji knelt in the gloomy and cold cell, although he was afraid in his heart, his face was still calm, he raised his eyes to look at the officials sitting on the high seat, and said: "But the food eaten by the prince and the concubine is all the same as that of others, if there is a problem with the ingredients of my Liuliju, then it will not only be the suffering of the prince and the concubine, it should be that all the people who have come to my Liuliju have not been spared!" ”
"My lord! Soon after the opening of my Liuliju, as we all know, it is the wife's industry, the reputation is good, but it is also bound by the fame, the opening of the Liuliju so far, all the staff are conscientious, for fear that there will be a little mistake to shame the wife, how can there be such a big incident. ”
"Again!"
Liu Ji said loudly, and then said: "Doing business is to seek wealth, and now Liuliju's business is acceptable, and there is a better development, how can we cut off our own life, this is not common sense at all!" ”
"Enough!"
The official who sat on the high seat was Liu Hongren's direct subordinate, and he was promoted by Liu Hongren so far, and he was also close to the imperial historian Chen.
Now that Lord Chen is dead, Liu Hongren is sad, and he is not far behind.
There is another lack of backer in the court, so how can he not care!
"The official is not asking about your business, the official is asking you, why did you poison the crown prince and concubine!"
"Wronged, my lord!" Liu Ji's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately kowtowed, and said eagerly: "The crown prince's side concubine is a relative of the emperor, even if you give the villain a hundred guts, the villain will not dare to poison and murder!" ”
"If you don't dare, it doesn't mean that others don't dare!" The official's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "I know that your wife and the prince's concubine are not compatible, if she wants to poison ......"
"Your Excellency has wronged!" Liu Ji panicked, and immediately argued: "Even if Madame is at odds with the crown prince's side concubine, it is always known that Madame and the Lord of Zhuyue are close friends, and Lord Ning is Madame's biological father, how can he murder these two together?!" ”
"Oh?" The corners of the official's mouth hooked, and said: "Then what do you mean, she doesn't want to murder Lord Ning of Zhuyue County, but she only wants to murder the prince's side concubine, then those three are affected!" ”
"Your Excellency!" Liu Ji's eyes widened, and they were full of bloodshots.
He didn't want to enter the office, and he only stopped moving forward because he knew that officialdom was sinister, and it was better to deal with money neatly.
However, it is one thing to know, and now that I am really deeply immersed in it, I know that this sinister is so sinister, and even talking is trapped, which makes people unable to guard against it.
"The villain didn't mean that! Madame categorically would not murder the crown prince's concubine! Liu Ji kowtowed deeply, his voice trembled, and he said loudly: "Please also ask your Excellency to be enlightened!" ”
"This official will naturally find out the truth, and he will also find out the crimes you have committed, and show Xue for Lord Chen, the Imperial Doctor!" The official glanced at the paperwork recorded on the side and nodded.
The clerk instructed, lowered his eyes and began to write. The official hooked the corners of his lips again, then got up and walked outside, saying as he walked: "This case is full of suspicions, first detain him and interrogate him well!" ”
Liu Ji was dragged up from the ground, he watched the officials leave, watched the officials tie themselves to the stakes, the previous panic was of course gone, he gritted his teeth, and the only thing he was worried about was the safety of Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan.
This incident was clearly aimed at Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan!
He looked at the barbed whip in his hand, closed his eyes silently, and made all preparations, only wishing that Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan would avenge their grievances as soon as possible, and he could get out of prison as soon as possible!
Qin Xi didn't get much better.
He was put in another cell, and the officials came once and asked some questions, which roughly meant the same as asking Liu Ji, and in the end they would point the finger at Ning Zhao.
Qin Shi is not stupid, he naturally knows what attention these people are fighting, and he is ready to suffer some crimes, insisting that this matter has nothing to do with Liuliju and Ning Zhao.
The punishment will naturally be suffered, but Qin Yuan also knows that this matter has not been finalized, but Jin Yuan is there, and these people dare not take his life.
